    My anxiety is all keyed up due to my propensity to read the news, so please indulge me in this bizarro hitman case that is THE BEST HITMAN CASE WE HAVE EVER DONE. It has everything: a doctor, an unsuspecting man, a hitman, Disney adults (no shame), the occult, a death spell, the FBI, a fake assassin, interstate commerce—okay, that last one is kinda blah, but this case has the IT factor, folks.

    Side Note: Is there an app that blocks all news? JK *dies inside*

    In July 1999, Mary Stetson went out for a much needed night on the town. When she didn’t return home, her kids knew something bad had happened. Their worst fears came true two days later when some folks enjoying a day on the river found a duffle bag holding horrific cargo.

    Also, the fake name was Jeffrey/Jeff…sounds like “Jesk” hehehe

    When Cheryl Coker disappeared in October 2018, her family and friends started looking for her right away. She was a dedicated mom, a loving daughter, and a great friend, but she had one person in her life who didn't value her enough. An abandoned vehicle, surveillance footage, and long searches would turn up lots of evidence and Cheryl's body...but how will authorities get their man?

Rather than focusing on her own happiness, DeAnn logged onto the Internet and visited one of our favorite sites: Rent-a-Hitman.com. DeAnn, noooooo.

    In November 1969, a teenage boy out bird watching discovered the body of a young woman discarded along the famed Mulholland Drive in Los Angeles. Dubbed Jane Doe #59, this woman would be connected to the similar murder of Marina Habe, the Manson family, and Scientology—but investigators struggled to find out what happened to her. In 2015, a family friend finally identified her as 19-year-old Reet Jurvetson, who may have been connected to a man named Jean/John.

    In November 2021, Jennifer and Stephen Chapple were locked in a feud with their neighbors over the most mundane topic: parking spots. Because their neighbor was a “trained killer,” Jennifer told her friends that she feared for her life. Turns out, she had a reason to be afraid.

    In December 2004, 36-year-old Arleatha Hopkins disappeared. Her husband, Reverend Anthony Hopkins, told multiple stories about what happened to her, and no one questioned him for nearly four years. But then, his eldest stepdaughter ran away from the family home and revealed a mess of secrets that some refused to believe—at least, at first.

    17-year-old Ida Place had the stepmother from hell. When her father William married Martha Place, he probably didn’t expect her to become a total psycho. But she definitely wasn’t responsible enough to be left around all those potential murder weapons.

    On August 1, 2022, 18-year-old Aurora Dahl went for a run in Michigan that she barely survived. The next day, someone killed Patrick Ernst in his Wisconsin home. Another murder down in Alabama that took the life of Dwight Dixon would link the same suspect to all three cases.

    Also, I’m sorry to the town of Flomaton, Alabama, for reasons that will become obvious.

    Tillie Klimek has many nicknames, among them “The Black Widow of Chicago,” “The High Priestess of the Bluebeard Clique,” and—my favorite—“The Premonition Poisoner.” She was rumored to be a psychic, and said to have poisoned as many as 20 people, cementing her name as one of the merry murderesses of 1920s Chicago.

    In August 2023, trash collectors working at a garbage dump in Thailand discovered a fertilizer bag filled with dismembered human remains. The body parts came from an island that’s popular with tourists—Koh Phan-Ngan. Investigators soon connected this murder to a YouTube star who’s also a member of a famous Spanish acting family, which resulted in the case being plastered all over the headlines.
