Why you almost never see male calico cats. Only about 1 in every 3,000 calico cats is male. If you know anything about calico cats, it’s that they’re especially cute. If you know two things about them, the second might be that only about 1 in every 3,000 of them is male. The tricolor kitties — which are most often but not always white, orange, and black — get their distinct coat from their chromosomal makeup. Female cats have two X chromosomes, which carry the coding gene for black and orange coloration, and the only way for calico coloring to occur is for a kitten to get one black-coded X and one orange-coded X. The same is also true of tortoiseshell (tortie) cats, which are predominantly black and orange — and known for their “tortitude.” (The white patches in calicos, meanwhile, happen through a separate genetic process called piebalding, which produces areas of skin and fur without any pigment.) Though extremely rare, male calicos and torties do exist. This is usually the result of one of two conditions: chimerism or Klinefelter’s syndrome. The former occurs when two embryos fuse early in pregnancy, resulting in two different sets of DNA, while Klinefelter’s is the result of a male inheriting an extra X chromosome and therefore having XXY chromosomes. Making them even rarer is the fact that male calicos are almost always sterile, meaning it’s all but impossible to breed calicos — every one you see is an anomaly, and all the more special for it. Calicos are considered good luck. There’s a reason that maneki-neko are so often depicted as calicos: They’re considered good luck. The “beckoning cat” figurines found throughout Japan and at Japanese and Chinese establishments around the world are intended as tokens of good fortune, with one of their paws raised high in a waving motion. This dates back to the tradition of Japanese sailors traveling with calicos to bring about safe passage — the multicolored cats were believed to be able to chase away storms and ancestral ghosts. In the United States and England, meanwhile, male calicos are considered especially lucky because of their rarity. #Animals, #Cats, #Calico,

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,

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,
