I’ve always thought that JonBenèt’s family knew more than they admitted to. That story continues to stick with me so many years later.

[@GIBBO4182]

I’d be amazed if it wasn’t Burke tbh…parents weren’t going to lose BOTH kids though

[@mrq2044]

The brother did it

[@twitchascension]

@@mrq2044 literally nobody thought this until their mother died, and he sued CBS for defamation and they settled. Pretty easy to win a defamation case if you have supporting evidence and there isn't any proof that you knew you were making something up, so not really likely a news agency would settle unless they knew it was BS.

[@SchindlersFiist]

​@mrq2044 That's just reaching. A few years back, DNA evidence exonerated the family. Unfortunately the mother was dead from cancer by then. The brother also did a lie detector test which passed. He is annoying and awkward on tv, yes but he didn't do it. There are so many conspiracy theories out there that it never helped the case in the start. Police fucked the case up from the start.

[@GIBBO4182]

@@SchindlersFiist lie detectors aren’t that reliable, I don’t think they’re even used as admissible evidence in trials. I could buy a stranger breaking in and doing it, if it wasn’t for the note, why would they spend extra time writing a note, risking getting caught? Completely my own opinion, but I think she stole some of his pineapple, his favourite snack which was the only thing found in her stomach, and he hit her with the torch that mysteriously went missing, as kids do, not meaning to actually kill her. Then seeing as it was an “accident” the parents tried to cover it up. I could be completely wrong, but from the things I’ve seen about this case, they my own personal opinion on what happened

[@WomanRoaring]

Selena's murder was also a huge story. it was all over the news for months and the attention she got is the reason we got a movie so quickly about her life catapulting Jlo to stardom.

[@LunarSault23]

Also because her dad wanted to cash in

[@marthagilbert3459]

Selena's story is so surprising.

[@boyguapito1]

That’s not true. Jennifer López was already an actress and dancer before doing that Selena movie. The problem with that murder case is that Mexicans think they’re very important and they want to be validated and take credit for things they had no say or input on it so they always attribute Jennifer Lopez’s fame to Selena. Because they cannot tolerate that a Puerto Rican🇵🇷, which are talented by nature became a much bigger celebrity than Selena would had ever dreamed of if she would have been alive.

@@tayloredwards1675 I understand where you’re coming from. It still makes you think though, especially after his funeral was open-casket to show what exactly was done to him. I thought based on research it made a pretty big impact on the public at the time. It lives on in the minds of people today, especially since Carolyn Bryant died not too long ago.

[@tayloredwards1675]

@@jialisette5898 it did, but most of the events on here also had national and some international news coverage on tv. Till’s case had coverage, but I think most of it was print, maybe some on radio. Tv has a way of making things seem more real to an effect. I hadn’t even heard of the story until I saw the movie, it could also be the way the events were spread through coverage. Some of history’s greatest tragedies and mistakes are still not known as much as they should be, through rewriting and brushing under the rug 😔

The ransom for the Lindbergh baby was packaged in a wooden box that was custom-made in the hope that it could later be identified. The ransom money included a number of gold certificates; since gold certificates were about to be withdrawn from circulation, it was hoped greater attention would be drawn to anyone spending them. The bills were not marked but their serial numbers were recorded. Some sources credit this idea to Frank J. Wilson, others to Elmer Lincoln Irey.

She immediately claimed that was driving to a friend’s house when a Black man jumped into her car at a stoplight and threatened her with a gun, which eventually led to her being pushed out of the car and this man supposedly taking off with her two sons, Michael and Alex, still inside. This led to a manhunt across the tri-state area for this “man” and her car. For nine days she had the entire country at her feet and she even spoke to the media. Nine days until she finally broke and admitted she drowned the boys. It was alleged that she killed them because her new boyfriend at the time, Tom Findlay, didn’t want children, which she still denies to this day. She did end up going to prison and as far as I know she’s up for parole next year, but I think it’s safe to say she’s never getting out.
