Hugo Ferreira
Content warning… this post is about the death abuse and rape of a baby, it contains some graphic information so reader discretion is advised. Hugo Ferreira, 37 from South Africa, was sentenced to two life sentences on two counts, one of murder and one of rape and put on the sex offender’s register. Why? Because while high on meth Ferreira couldn’t get his 8 day old daughter to stop crying, so instead of trying to soothe her in some way he decided to quote “Give her something to cry about,” Ferreira went on to rape and beat his innocent baby daughter until she eventually succumbed from the injuries. Even worse,…

Ethan Saylor
On January 12th 2013 Ethan Saylor went to watch “Zero Dark Thirty” with his carer. He never came home. We remember him today on World Down Syndrome Day. Robert Ethan Saylor, known as Ethan, was 26 years old, and lived in Frederick, Maryland. His family writes “He was a brother, son, grandson, and beloved family member and friend. He was a faithful church member. He loved reggae music and was a law enforcement enthusiast. He also had Down syndrome.” After watching the film, Ethan’s carer left to bring the car around. Ethan waited briefly by the door for her to return, before re-entering the movie theater. The theater manager informed…

Ellen Rae Greenberg & Sam Goldberg
On January 26th, 2011, 27-year-old teacher Ellen Rae Greenberg was found dead in her Philadelphia apartment with 20 stab wounds to her chest, scalp and the back of her neck. When police arrived on the scene, they quickly concluded that Ellen died by suicide. Her fiancé, Sam Goldberg, told them that Ellen had been fine when he went to the gym at around 4.45pm – but when he returned at 5.30 he couldn’t open the door, and she wasn’t answering his calls or texts. He finally broke the door down at 6.30, and found Ellen’s body right there. The latched front door, and Ellen’s recent struggle with anxiety, were enough…

Asha Degree
On February 14th 2000, 9-year-old Asha Degree left her home in Shelby, North Carolina in the middle of the night. She was seen by three drivers walking along a nearby road, and some of her belongings were found in a barn – but Asha has never been seen since. No-one knows why she left her home, or where she went. 17 months later her bookbag and clothes, wrapped in two garbage bags, were found less than 50 yards from Highway 18, “between the road and the creek” – but 25 miles away from where Asha was last seen. For almost 25 years no serious suspects or persons of interest were…

Jermaine Bass
On August 29th, 2022, Jaylah Lavia’h Bass and JJ Bass were shot in their bed with a gun belonging to their parents, Shirley and Jermaine Bass. As sheriff’s deputies arrived and administered medical care to the children, Jermaine insisted that his gun had gone off as he changed the magazine in their bedroom. 5 shots were fired – 4 of them into the heads of his children. JJ screamed in pain, yelling “ow, my head!” – but somehow he survived. Tragically, after being shot “in the centre of her forehead”, 5-year-old Jaylah did not. Today the murder trial of FL v. Jermaine Bass began, with Bass facing charges of first-degree…

Zhenhao Zou
28-year-old UCL student Zhenhao Zou was convicted today of 28 offences, including 11 counts of rape against 10 different women, following a five week trial. While in China in November 2020 Zou, also known as “Pakho”, downloaded an “instruction manual” on how to drug and rape young women, with the words “effects guaranteed” displayed across pictures of unconscious, naked women.

Police believe there may be more than 50 victims, and have appealed to anyone who believes they may have been assaulted by Zou to contact them (details provided at the bottom of this post).…

Bridge Guy Video Released
Abby Williams and Libby German were murdered on February 13th 2017 in Delphi, Indiana. Their bodies were found the following day near the Monon High Bridge Trail, which is part of the Delphi Historic Trails. The murders were reported on extensively world wide, partially because of video footage taken by the girls on Libby’s phone that captured the killer saying “down the hill”. The image of the man ordering the girls to their death was published for the world to see, as was the clip of his voice. But the whole video remained protected for two reasons – one to protect the case, and two, to protect the families of…
