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,

Why each tiger's stripes are one of a kind. The pattern of every tiger’s stripes is unique. Not unlike human fingerprints, the pattern of every tiger’s stripes is one of a kind. And though those markings are invariably beautiful, they aren’t just for decoration. Biologists refer to tiger stripes as an example of disruptive coloration, as their vertical slashes help them hide in plain sight by breaking up their shape and size so they blend in with tall grass, trees, and other camouflage-friendly environments. Tigers are solitary hunters who ambush their prey, so the ability to remain undetected while on the hunt is key to their survival. They’re also helped by the fact that their prey don’t see colors the way we do. Deer, for instance, can process short and mid-wavelength colors such as green and blue but not long wavelength hues such as red and orange. That means a tiger lurking in the grass won’t look bright orange — it will actually appear green to its prey, making it difficult to differentiate from its surroundings. Markings also differ among subspecies, with Sumatran tigers having the narrowest stripes and Siberian tigers having fewer than the rest of their big cat brethren. Tigers have stripes on their skin as well as their fur. It isn’t just a tiger’s fur that’s striped. Their skin is similarly marked, and the pattern mirrors that of their fur. Scientists have compared this to a beard’s five-o’clock shadow, as a tiger’s colored hair follicles are embedded in their skin and therefore visible to the naked eye. Here, too, we have something in common with these majestic creatures: Our skin is covered in a kind of stripes as well, called Blaschko’s lines, but ours are usually invisible except in the case of certain skin conditions.

On May 4, 1976. Young woman and her married lover arrested for killing her family. Patricia Columbo and Frank DeLuca are arrested for the brutal slaying of Columbo’s parents and brother in Elk Grove, Illinois. Twenty-year-old Columbo had left her family home two years earlier to live with DeLuca, a 36-year-old married man. The pair later killed Frank, Mary and Michael Columbo in order to receive the family inheritance, unaware that the Columbos had written Patricia out of their wills years earlier. As a 16-year-old, Columbo worked in a suburban coffee shop where she met pharmacist Frank DeLuca, who managed the pharmacy next door. He soon hired her to work in his store and the two began an unusual sexual relationship; Columbo showed classmates pictures of her having sex with DeLuca’s dog. In April 1974, DeLuca brought Columbo to stay in his own home, despite the fact that he still lived with his wife and five kids. Her parents were relieved when she later told them she was going to move into her own apartment, and even provided her with money. However, they soon learned that DeLuca had left his wife and moved in with their daughter, prompting Columbo’s father to beat DeLuca severely. On May 4, 1976, Patricia Columbo, then 19, and Frank DeLuca, 39, decided to carry out the plan themselves. They crept into the Columbo family home and shot Columbo’s parents. They then bludgeoned Mike with a bowling trophy and stabbed him nearly 100 times with scissors. Police questioned Patricia but had no reason to suspect her until the following week. Inspired by the promise of reward money, a friend led police to the men who had discussed killing the Columbo family with Patricia. After the couple was arrested, DeLuca’s employees revealed that they had seen him washing and burning bloodstained clothes on the day after the murders. Apparently, he had kept them silent by threatening their families. While in jail, DeLuca attempted to have these witnesses killed by a cellmate, but another inmate thwarted the plan by telling the police. The jury convicted Patricia Columbo and Frank DeLuca, and they were each sentenced to 200 to 300 years in prison. But Columbo managed to keep herself in the spotlight: In 1979, it was reported that she had assisted in organizing sex orgies involving guards and wardens at her prison in Dwight, Illinois. High-ranking officials at the prison, including the warden, were forced to resign in the wake of the scandal. #True Crime, #Murder, #Prison, #Sex,

Have you heard of the “African unicorn”? Okapis have tongues long enough to wash their eyelids. The 6-foot-tall, roughly 500-pound, famously shy okapi (Okapia johnstoni) can only be found in the wild in the Ituri tropical rainforests of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Its biology features some amazing adaptations: A unique strip pattern on its rump helps the mammal blend in with shade cast by the rainforest canopy, and its fur is coated in a natural oil that repels moisture, something that rainforests obviously provide in abundance. What’s more, the okapi’s large ears can detect even the slightest disturbance, and okapi mothers communicate with their young in frequencies beyond human hearing. However, perhaps the okapi’s most useful evolutionary trait is its tongue. Stretching some 12 to 14 inches, it’s long enough to swat flies, clean the okapi’s ears, and even clean its eyelids. The tongue is also prehensile, meaning it can grasp and strip leaves from branches. This is immensely useful, as okapis can eat up to 60 pounds of food every day. Although okapis live an isolated existence and look like a cross between a zebra and a deer, their tongues give away their genetic lineage. Okapis are the only living relatives of the giraffe, which explains the animal’s nicknames, including forest giraffe, Congolese giraffe, and zebra giraffe. Like okapis, giraffes also sport blue-hued prehensile tongues, and scientists estimate that the two species shared a common ancestry some 11 million to 12 million years ago. Today, unfortunately, okapis live under threat from deforestation, mining, armed militant groups, and hunting. Thankfully, groups like the Okapi Conservation Project are hard at work preserving the habitat of this “Congolese unicorn” for generations to come. Rough length (in inches) of the average human tongue 3 Inches. Weight (in pounds) of a blue whale’s tongue 8,000 Estimated number of okapis living in the Okapi Wildlife Reserve 3,500 Number of stomachs okapis have 4 Until 1901, Western scientists thought the okapi was a mythical creature. For a mammal that can weigh hundreds of pounds, the scientific discovery of the okapi seems startlingly late. Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, Western scientists heard about an “African unicorn” that some Congolese Indigenous peoples called o’api. However, because okapis live in hard-to-reach rainforests and are famously shy, experts dismissed the animal as simply a myth, a cryptid similar to the yeti of the Himalayas or the Sasquatch of the Pacific Northwest. However, in 1900, British explorer Sir Harry Johnston sent the first hide samples to the Zoological Society of London, and the okapi “myth” transformed into reality. Although finally “found” (at least by Western scientists; local tribes likely knew of the animal for millennia), traces of the okapi’s once-mythical status can still be seen — the creature serves as a mascot of sorts for the International Society of Cryptozoology. Because if the “African unicorn” is real, what else might science turn up next?
