True Crime Horrific Episodes 3


Dark, disturbing stories of murder and Disapprance.


Every crime holds a story, but it is the true crime stories that linger in the depths of our psyche.This collection, True Crime Horrific: Dark and Disturbing Stories of Murder and Disappearance, takes you on an unnerving journey through time, spanning both ancient civilizations and present-day horrors.


From the blood-soaked annals of history to the chilling mysteries that perplex investigators today, this book unveils tales of violence, manipulation, and the haunting mysteries that have eluded justice. Brace yourself as we delve into the minds of killers and the victims who met their tragic fate. These stories will disturb, shock, and challenge your understanding of the human capacity for evil.


In the annals of true crime, there are tales that have endured through the ages, leaving an indelible mark on our collective consciousness. From the infamous crimes of Jack the Ripper in 19th century London to the enigmatic disappearances of ancient civilizations, we explore how the thirst for power, revenge, and twisted desires can drive individuals to commit unimaginable acts.


In this episode you'll get to read about Texas Jim Baker: Texas Jim” Baker was a serial killer who used poison and pistols to murder nine men around the world between 1924 and 1929.


After he was captured in February 1930, for the 1928 murder of a New York City chemical laboratory employee, Baker bragged about these murders “with lip-smacking gusto” during several confessions to investigators and newspaper reporters.


He thrived on the attention he received and often embellished his life story and the murders by describing them with overtly gruesome details meant to shock his listeners into thinking he was a special kind of monster. By doing so, Baker also hoped to increase his celebrity criminal status and gain more attention for himself.


Several months after he was sentenced for one of his murders, International Features Syndicate paid him to write his autobiography. The story they published was filled with lies, half-truths, self-pity and Baker’s trademark overstated joy he felt while poisoning his victims. Through my research of New York newspapers, and five true crime magazine articles published after his trial, I believe I have separated fact from fiction as well as anyone could.


Plus more Disturbing Stories


So, buckle up, dear reader. Prepare to navigate the treacherous waters of true crime, where every page turn holds the promise of an unsettling revelation, and where the human capacity for darkness is laid bare."
