A 55-year-old woman, was mauled by a chimpanzee in her home


 Charla Nash, a 55-year-old woman, was mauled by a chimpanzee in her home on February 16, 2009.


The chimpanzee, Travis, had been a part of the Nash family for 14 years, and was considered a beloved pet.


However, on that fateful day, Travis turned on his owner, attacking her and causing severe injuries. The attack was witnessed by several neighbors, who called 911 and attempted to help Nash. When police arrived, they found Nash in a critical condition, and Travis was shot and killed at the scene Nash was rushed to the hospital, where she underwent emergency surgery.


Her injuries were extensive, including severe facial disfigurement and the loss of both her hands. The chimpanzee attack made national headlines, and sparked a debate about the safety of keeping primates as pets.


The Nash family released a statement, expressing their gratitude for the outpouring of support they had received from the community. As for Travis, the chimpanzee, questions were raised about how such an attack could have happened, and whether there were any warning signs.


The incident led to changes in regulations regarding the keeping of exotic animals as pets.


In the aftermath of the incident, the Nash family filed a lawsuit against the owners of the chimpanzee, claiming negligence and lack of proper safety precautions.


The case went to trial, and a settlement was eventually reached between the two parties.


Nash's life was changed forever by the attack, and she continues to face challenges from her injuries. She has undergone numerous surgeries and rehabilitation, and continues to work on regaining her independence. Despite the tragedy, Nash remains a strong and determined individual, and her story is one of perseverance and hope.

Michael Morrison and his girlfriend, Debbie Means, were brutally murdered on prom night in 1980.

After attending the dance, Mike and Debbie got dinner at the Carriage House Restaurant in Belleville, and then attended a small party at the abandoned Peabody strip pits. They left about 2:30 a.m. but never made it home.

Mike was then removed from the trunk and shot point-blank in the back of the head three times and left face-down in a ditch. Investigators soon zeroed in on M...

 In March of 2017, 14-year-old Bobby was reported missing from his home in Phoenix, Arizona. His mother, Sarah Linhart, told police that she had last seen him at their home the previous evening. She said that Bobby had taken a shower and gone to bed, and she assumed he was still in his room when she woke up the next morning. But when she went to check on him, he was nowhere to be found.  After Sarah reported Bobby missing, police searched the neighborhood and interviewed family and friends, but they found no sign of the boy.
