Ex-Fiancée Slain in Double Murder-Suicide After She Escapes Into Woods with Killer Heaven Glison Pictured Left and Daylon Bradford Pictured Right, were shot on Sunday by Donald Bryant, the father of Glison's months-old child A woman and a man were killed in what authorities say was a shooting rampage carried out by her ex-fiancée, who then died by suicide. Heavan Glison, 24, and Daylon Bradford, 33, were found shot in separate but nearby locations in Independence, Ky. on Sunday, Sept. 21, the Independence Police Department tells in a statement. (Glison's name is spelled as "Heaven Glisson" on Facebook and by FOX 19. Other outlets identify her Heavan Glison, as seen in the police's statement). Police also found Glison's ex-fiancée Donald Bryant, 34, dead alongside her in the woods. The former couple were pronounced dead at the scene, and Bradford died Tuesday early morning, Independence police said. Glison and Bryant were previously engaged and share a child who is just a few months old, her relative Kristina Cochran told FOX 19. Cochran is the grandmother of Glison's oldest child. The investigation began late Sunday evening when officers responded to a report of a shooting at an apartment complex, Independence police said in their statement. They initially found Bradford in critical condition FOX 19 reports officers were then told Bryan and Glison fled into the woods, Officials established a perimeter and a search began with canines and drones in the area. At one point, police heard several gunshots from the woods, prompting response from the SWAT team, per Independence police's statement. Canines then found Bryant and Glison's bodies in the woods at around 3 a.m. Police determined Bryant carried out the murder-suicide, resulting in the killings of Glison and Bradford. Cochran told FOX 19 that Glison had confided in her about Bryant's abuse. After breaking off the engagement, Cochran said, Glison had moved to the apartment complex to get away from him. While police have yet to determine how Bradford was connected to the former couple, they claim he lived in the same apartment complex as Glison, where the shooting took place, the outlet reported. The investigation is still ongoing. If you are experiencing domestic violence, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233, or go to thehotline.org.

She Went to the Laundromat Alone — Then a Man Followed Her Out, and She Was Never Seen Alive Again Corrine Perry vanished in 1983 on a quiet Sunday in Creston, Iowa On an April evening in 1983, 17-year-old Corinne Perry left home to do laundry in Creston, Iowa. She never returned. Her neatly-folded clothes were found in her car; her body was discovered over a year later. The case remains unsolved. It was a quiet Sunday when Corinne, a high school senior known for her bright smile and passion for theater, walked out the door for a routine chore. She was headed to the Highlander Laundromat just a few blocks away, a familiar errand in the small southwest Iowa town where she lived with her mother and sister. But what began as an ordinary evening would soon become one of the region's most haunting cold cases. According to reporting by NBC News, Corinne's car was found the next day outside the laundromat, her clothes clean and folded inside. But the teen was gone. Police initially suspected that she had run away, an assumption that delayed what would later become a full-scale investigation. Witnesses later told authorities that Corinne left between 8:30 p.m. and 9 p.m. and that a man walked out behind her. They described seeing her talking to a man with glasses and brown hair, believed to be in his 20s or 30s. But that man was never identified. Her sister, Letitia Perry, has spent decades urging authorities and the public not to forget about Corinne. "I know something was wrong immediately," she told NBC News. "My sister wouldn't just leave." Two weeks after Corinne vanished, her purse was found miles away on a bridge, undisturbed, with her glasses, makeup and personal belongings still inside. For more than a year, the Perry family waited in agony for answers. Then, on November 3, 1984, hunters stumbled upon a shallow grave, roughly six miles from Creston and near where Corinne's purse had been recovered. Inside were human remains later confirmed to be Corinne's The remains, just bones, had to be identified using dental records, per the Associated Press. Due to the condition of the body, a cause of death could not be determined. The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) reopened the case in 2009, hoping that advancements in forensic technology might finally lead to a break in the case. But so far, no suspects have ever been named publicly, and no arrests have been made. Letitia believes someone in the community knows what happened -- and may have even spoken with Corinne that night. Now in her 50s, Letitia says she won't give up until there are answers. “At the 30-year mark of her death, I sort of quit having expectations,” Letitia told NBC. “But I can’t give up. She was my little sister and I’m not going to give up.” The case remains open. The Iowa DCI encourages anyone with information to call (515) 725-6010 or submit an anonymous tip through their website. #Murder, #Crime, #Unsolved, #Death,

Autopsy Results Released for Decker Sisters, Who Police Believe Were Killed by Dad. The bodies of Paityn Decker, 9, Evelyn Decker, 8, and Olivia Decker, 5, were found on June 2 — three days after they were last seen with their father, Travis Decker, who remains missing. Authorities have announced the official causes of death for three girls who were alleged to have been killed by their father. Paityn Decker, 9, Evelyn Decker, 8, and Olivia Decker, 5, were found dead near the Rock Island Campground in Chelan County, Wash., on June 2, the Chelan County Sheriff's Office previously said. The girls were reported missing on May 30 after they had not returned from a planned visitation with their father, 32-year-old Travis Decker. In a press release shared with PEOPLE on Monday, June 9, the CCSO said an autopsy was completed by the medical examiner on Friday, June 6. "The cause of death was determined to be suffocation and the manner of death was determined to be homicide," the release states. The girls' bodies were located after authorities found Travis' pickup truck, in which the sheriff's office said investigators have since collected a "large amount of evidence" including many of his personal items, per the release. "The suspect’s dog was recovered and turned over to the humane society for safe care," the CCSO added. "Blood samples taken from the scene have come back positive for belonging to a male, and another was not human blood. Further DNA and fingerprint analyses are still being conducted." Travis remains missing and is wanted on charges of murder, kidnapping and custodial interference. As of 6 p.m. local time on Sunday, June 8, the CCSO handed over the search efforts for Travis to federal authorities but noted they are still leading the criminal investigation. "We had reached a point where we need to rest our local resources. Our command staff continues to be engaged with the search command while we give our teams time off to rest and recuperate and be ready to rejoin the search for, and capture of, the suspect," the release states. Amid the ongoing manhunt for Travis, authorities have been asking the public to come forward with any information and have shared several photos of him. Travis is 5'8" with black hair and brown eyes, and authorities have described him as posing "a significant risk if approached" due to his prior military experience. Authorities are asking anyone who has seen Travis to call 911 immediately. People can also call the CCSO tip line at 509-667-6845 or submit information to the tip line online. A GoFundMe campaign set up to help the girls' mother with expenses and legal costs amid the tragic loss of her three daughters has raised more than $1 million in donations as of Monday, June 9. #Murder, #Crime, #Children,

On May 15, 1948. A three-year-old’s brutal murder begins an unusual investigation. On May 15, 1948, 3-year-old June Devaney, recovering from pneumonia at Queen’s Park Hospital in Blackburn, England, is kidnapped from her bed. Nurses discovered her missing at 1:20 a.m. the next day, and police were immediately summoned to investigate. Two hours later, her body was found with multiple skull fractures. The medical examiner determined that Devaney had been raped and then swung headfirst into a wall. Two significant clues were found in the children’s ward that would prove helpful in catching the killer: footprints on the freshly cleaned floor and a water bottle that had been moved. Although there were several fingerprints on the bottle, police were able to account for all but one set. These prints also failed to match any of those in the police’s database of known criminals. Investigators fingerprinted over 2,000 people who had access to the hospital. Still, they couldn’t find a match. Detective Inspector John Capstick then went even further: He decided that every man in the town of Blackburn, a city with more than 25,000 homes, would be fingerprinted. A procedure such as this would be impossible in the United States where Fourth Amendment protections prevent searches without probable cause. But the plan went into effect in Blackburn on May 23, with police assurances that the collected prints would be destroyed afterward. Two months later, the police had collected over 40,000 sets of prints yet still had not turned up a match. Checking against every registry they could find, authorities determined that there were still a few men in town who hadn’t provided their prints. On August 11, police caught up with one of these men, Peter Griffiths. His footprints matched the ones found at the scene. When his fingerprints also came back a match, he confessed to the awful crime, blaming it on alcohol. Griffiths was found guilty of murder and was executed on November 19, 1948. #Crime, #Kidnapped, #Missing, #Killer, #Alcohol,

Andrew Cunanan continues murder spree. The body of William Reese, 45, a cemetery caretaker, is found in rural Pennsville, New Jersey, on May 9, 1997. He had been shot in the head with a Golden Saber .38-caliber bullet. Police soon determined that the killer was Andrew Cunanan, a 27-year-old man already wanted for three murders. It appeared that Cunanan had killed Reese in the process of stealing his Chevrolet pick-up. Cunanan spent most of his adult life as the kept companion of wealthy older men, living a very expensive lifestyle in San Diego, California, that was far beyond his own means. In April 1997, Cunanan told his friends that he was moving to San Francisco. However, he actually bought a one-way ticket to Minnesota after begging his credit card company to extend his credit limit. In Minnesota, Cunanan met up with David Madson, whom he had briefly dated in the past. Apparently, Cunanan went there in an attempt to continue the relationship. On April 27, Jeffrey Trail, an acquaintance of both Cunanan and Madson, met the two at Madson’s apartment, but the details of what happened there are still unknown. Authorities know only that Cunanan killed Trail with a hammer and then went to East Rush Lake, where he killed Madson two days later with one shot to the head. Cunanan then took Madson’s jeep and drove to Chicago where he found his next victim: 72-year-old millionaire Lee Miglin. Miglin was bound by duct tape, stabbed with gardening shears, and then killed when Cunanan cut his throat with a saw. Cunanan then drove east to New Jersey in Miglin’s Lexus, where he killed Reese and escaped with his car. A massive manhunt ensued when the FBI placed Cunanan on its Ten Most Wanted List. The press ran with the story, and Cunanan was featured multiple times on television’s America’s Most Wanted. Police believe that Cunanan spent a few days in New York City’s Greenwich Village before driving south to Miami, where on July 15, he killed famous fashion designer Gianni Versace outside his South Beach mansion On July 23, Fernando Carreira, the caretaker of a houseboat in Miami, found an intruder on the boat and called police. Apparently sensing his capture, Cunanan shot himself in the head, but police, unaware, engaged in a five-hour standoff with the already dead killer. No solid motive for Cunanan’s murders has emerged. In the end, Cunanan lived up to his high school classmate’s billing as the student “most likely not to be forgotten.” #TrueCrime, #Murder, #FBI, #Killer,

April 16th, 2007 Virginia Tech shooting leaves 32 dead. On April 16, 2007, 32 people died after being gunned down on the campus of Virginia Tech by Seung-Hui Cho, a student at the college who later died by suicide. The Virginia Tech shooting began around 7:15 a.m., when Cho, a 23-year-old senior and English major at Blacksburg-based Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, shot a female freshman and a male resident assistant in a campus dormitory before fleeing the building. Police were soon on the scene; unaware of the gunman’s identity, they initially pursued the female victim’s boyfriend as a suspect in what they believed to be an isolated domestic-violence incident. However, at around 9:40 a.m., Cho, armed with a 9-millimeter handgun, a 22-caliber handgun and hundreds of rounds of ammunition, entered a classroom building, chained and locked several main doors and went from room to room shooting people. Approximately 10 minutes after the rampage began, he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The attack left 32 people dead and more than a dozen wounded. In all, 27 students and five faculty members died in the massacre. Two days later, on April 18, NBC News received a package of materials from Cho with a timestamp indicating he had mailed it from a Virginia post office between the first and second shooting attacks. Contained in the package were photos of a gun-wielding Cho, along with a rambling video diatribe in which he ranted about wealthy “brats,” among other topics. In the aftermath of the Virginia Tech shooting, authorities found no evidence that Cho, who was born in South Korea and moved to America with his family in 1992, had specifically targeted any of his victims. The public soon learned that Cho, described by students as a loner who rarely spoke to anyone, had a history of mental health problems. It was also revealed that angry, violent writings Cho made for certain class assignments had raised concern among some of his professors and fellow students well before the events of April 16. In 2011, Virginia Tech was fined by the U.S. Department of Education for failing to issue a prompt campus-wide warning after Cho shot his first two victims. #Crime, #Virginia, #Shooting,
