One of the crime scenes from the John Collins murder series. This time the victim was a 14-year-old girl named Dawn Basom. (They changed her name to "Dale Harum" in Michigan Murders.) Her mother had been recently widowed and it's a fair question to ask how much one person can stand.
The scene of John Price's murder. Out of camera range, John's skin has been hung over a door and his head was cooking in a soup pot on the stove for when his children arrived home so the killer could traumatize them even further by serving them their dad for dinner:

I forget which crime scene this is
I recognize just a few of these, but I have no clue about most of them. Are they just random crime-scene photos you found or do you know what most of them depict?

Wasn't the killer John's wife, who was stepmother to the children?

This is one of the crime scene photos from the attack on Sue White by Gerald Arthur Lee on 11/05/06 in Cherokee County, GA. Apparently, she's also known as "Verna White".

This is fascinating. I don't remember what I was looking at when I found that photo I posted, but it was some sort of kid-kills-his-mom scenario and the names were different. Someone obviously just took this photo and added it to the wrong story. Good on Sue White for surviving that horrific assault.

I don't remember ever hearing of this before.
