68: The DePue Case

This was a highly recommended case, but many called it the "Jeepers Creepers" case because the real life murder of Marilynn DePue in Branch County Michigan was said to have inspired the opening scene in the 2001 blockbuster horror film....but what often gets lost in the story is that one mother of three lost her life at the hands of her ex husband and he almost got away with it....almost.

66: We Just Didn’t Like Her Anymore: The Skylar Neese Case

We are not sure it gets much worse than two 16 year old shit for brain girls who think they are untouchable, and murder their best friend in cold blood for no other reason than "we didn't like her anymore". Skylar was a beautiful and intelligent young woman who deserves to have her story told, so her murderers can stay where they belong.

65: The Tragic Case of Junko Furuta

Junko was a brilliant and steadfast student when she was abducted by a group of teenage dirtballs, and held in captivity and tortured for over 40 days. The punishment for these teens defiantly did not meet the crime, and the extent of what she went through in her final days is nearly unbearable to conceive.

64: Munch or Madness? Marybeth Tinning

Marybeth Tinning was a mother of nine....and considered to be an early case example of fictitious disease...but perhaps after you hear the way all nine of her children mysteriously pass away, you might ask yourselves did she suffer from fictitious disease (also known as Munchhausen by proxy) or was it simply madness?

63: Who’s The Real Victim Here?

Welcome to "Munch or Madness?" week....and Amber is bringing it with a case that will seriously have you pondering who the real victim is in all of this. Gypsy Rose Blanchard was an adult who was never told her real age, told she was special needs and endured years of medical procedures that she never needed all because her mother Dee Dee likely suffered from Fictitious Syndrome or as others know it Munchausen by Proxy. Gypsy felt she had no way out, and as long as her mom was living she would always be in captivity.
