Some serial killers develop a kind of calling card throughout their rein of terror such the âNight Stalkerâ Richard Ramirez leaving a bloody pentagram or the âSon of Samâ David Berkowitz leaving handwritten letters. Serial killer Charles Albright, a native Texan, left his own unique calling card as well. During the early 90âs in Dallas, Texas, Albright killed a string of female sex workers and removed his victimsâ eyeballs with surgical precision. Throughout his life, Charles Albright had been described by many who knew him as happy, untroubled and troubling no one. Per Texas Monthly, âHe was, they said, a kind of Renaissance manâfluent in French and Spanish, a masterful painter, able to seduce women by playing Chopin preludes on the piano or reciting poetry by Keats.âSo, what would cause a man who was so polite and charming to become such a sinister killer later in life.

From July of 1976 to July of 1977, one of Americaâs most notorious serial killers, David Berkowitz, better known by his moniker, The Son of Sam, swept panic through the streets and boroughs of New York City with a murder spree that captivated the nation and ignited a media frenzy. Over the course of that year, in three of the cityâs boroughs, Berkowitz, using a.44 caliber Bulldog revolver randomly shot New York citizens, leaving six dead and seven wounded. He left handwritten letters at some of the crime scenes, in which he taunted and insulted the police for their fruitless efforts to capture him and expressed his determination to continue his work. Berkowitzâs deadly shooting rampage spawned one of the biggest manhunts in New York Cityâs history, ending in August of 1977, with the capture of the 24-year-old, finally putting to rest New York Cityâs notorious âsummers of fearâ. Berkowitzâs confessed to the string of brutal attacks claiming that he had received orders to kill from his neighbor Sam Carr, which had been communicated through Samâs black Labrador retriever that had become possessed by a 6,000-year-old demon. Despite Berkowitzâs story of devils, demons, and possession, numerous psychological evaluations declared him âcompetentâ to stand trial. So, was The Son of Sam just a sinister mind who had a lust for killing or was he suffering from serve mental health issues that had been the catalyst into creating a serial killer.

In Anchorage, Alaska on February 22, 2024, 53-year-old South African immigrant Brian Steven Smith was convicted in 14 charges including first and second-degree murder, sexual assault, tampering with physical evidence and misconduct involving a corpse for the murders of 52-year-old Veronica Abouchuk and 30-year-old Kathleen Jo Henry. Both women were from small villages in western Alaska and had experienced homelessness and addiction. Smith was connected to the murders in September of 2019, when a stolen phone containing gruesome photos and videos spanning over a five-day period, which included the brutal beating and strangulation of a woman was turned over to the Anchorage police. Strangely enough, the police recognized the voice in the videos as that of Brian Steven Smith, a South African native they knew from a previous investigation. So, what would make a man without a criminal history to become such a sinister monster.

The most infamous serial killer in the history of North Carolina is that of Henry Lewis Wallace, also known as âThe Charolette Strangler or âThe Taco Bell Killer. During the early-90âs Wallace murdered nearly a dozen black women, who almost all had one thing in common, they knew him. For several years he remained at large, causing hysteria in the city of Charolette, especially amongst the minority community where a large number of the murders had taken place. A lack of adequate police patrolling in that area of Charlotte and the fact that the police were simply not equipped in handling a serial killer, allowed Wallaceâs rampant murdering spree to continue for so long. He would eventually be caught and during his confession, explained how he raped and strangled each of his victims to death, even attending some of his victimsâ funerals. When Wallace was finally convicted of raping and murdering 10 black women, he was sentenced to death, where he still remains on death row. So, what would cause such a sinister mind to commit such horrific murders.

The investigation of the double murder would lead authorities to the coupleâs only living son, Miles William Giffard, who was eventually found guilty of murdering his parents and hung to death in 1953. So, what caused Miles Giffard to kill his parents and were their other sinister forces at play?

In December of 2010, along a remote stretch of sand on the South Shore of Gilgo Beach in Long Island, New York, a police officer and his dog would discover human remains while searching for a missing woman. Just a few days later, the police would find the remains of three other women. Like the first victim, they were petite, in their 20s and worked as escorts. In the following weeks, six other bodies were discovered, including that of a man and a 2-year-old girl who have never identified. The discovery of the bodies terrified residents of Long Island and led to a 12-year investigation marked by dysfunction, disarray and even corruption. For a decade, the police did not seem to have a single suspect or person of interest and refused to discuss the case. In February of 2023, DNA would link Rex A. Heuermann to the first four women's remains that were found. Heuermann lived in Massapequa Park, Long Island, about a 20-minute drive from Gilgo Beach where the bodies were discovered. So, could Rex Heuerman be responsible for other sinister crimes?

The first public arrest through genetic genealogy was the April 2018 identification of the suspected "Golden State Killer." Since then, genetic genealogy has helped identify more than three dozen suspects in violent crimes, with one of those being the murder of Pamela Cahanes. In August of 1984, Orlando Navy recruit 25-year-old Pamela Cahanes was found beaten and strangled to death in Sanford, Florida. Almost 40 years later DNA and genetic genealogy would link Thomas Lewis Garner, a former naval classmate of Pamelaâs, to her 1984 murder. Garner was arrested and convicted of Pamelaâs murder. However, tis would not be his only killing. In 2021 he was linked to the death of 25-year-old Kathy Hicks who was murdered in September of 1982. So, could Thomas Lewis Garner be responsible for other unsolved murders.

On October 4, 1978, two electric company workers found the remains of a young woman near the campus of Whitworth University in Spokane, Washington. She had been beaten, sexually assaulted, and strangled; at the time police called her injuries "extreme trauma". The young woman was soon identified as 16-year-old Krisann Baxter who had been reported to police as a runaway just a few days earlier. The case soon turned cold, but her clothing and other evidence was preserved despite this being before the era of DNA testing, in hopes that it would one day reveal the killer's identity. Almost 45 years later in 2023, Krisann Baxterâs killer was identified through DNA and genetic genealogy. So, was Krisannâs killer responsible for other sinister crimes.

Just last month, on January 24, 2024, 37-year-old Sarah Scheffer, a part-time art and design teacher at the Christian Calvary Lutheran High School in Jefferson City, Missouri was charged with the attempted murder of her husband by continuous poisoning. Over a six-week period, Sarahâs husband had grown suspicious of his wife after becoming severely ill from ingesting several meals and beverages made by her. Her husband then set up a hidden camera in their kitchen. After capturing his deadly discovery on surveillance footage, Sarahâs husband turned over his deadly findings to the Jefferson County police. According to police records, Sarah, who was having an affair at the time, admitted to poisoning her husband with a deadly plant root, but would later enter a plea of not guilty. So, is Sarah Scheffer one of a sinister mind that attempted to kill her husband or is she innocent?

In late September of 1981 23-year-old Laura Kemptonâs body was discovered in her Portsmouth, New Hampshire apartment by police. Laura had last been seen alive in the early morning hours before her murder, entering her apartment alone after a night out with a friend. Over the next four decades, investigators pursued hundreds of leads and potential suspects, but were unable to identify the perpetrator. That was until 2022, when the Portsmouth Police Department, working in conjunction with the New Hampshire State Police Forensic Laboratory, the Maine State Police Forensic Laboratory, the Attorney General's Cold Case Unit, and Identifinders International, used forensic genetic genealogy to identify the perpetrator through analysis of numerous DNA samples recovered from the crime scene in 1981. However, Laura Kemptonâs killer would not be arrested and charged with her murder as investigators learned he was already deceased. So why was Laura killed and was the sinister mind behind her death responsible for another Portsmouth unsolved homicide.

Between1986 and 1989 on or near a scenic drive that connects Jamestown, Williamsburg, and Yorktown in southeastern Virginia, two double homicides occurred with a third believing to have taken place, but those bodies have never been found. The killings were suspected to be the workings of a serial killer. Sadly, investigators were unable to apprehend the culprit and the slayings now known as the "Colonial Parkway Murdersâ went cold. Between those years, in the 1987, 20-year-old David Knobling and 14-year-old Robin Edwards were found fatally shot near the south bank of the James River in Isle of Wight County of Virgina. Unfortunately, this case went cold too. Also in 1989, another unsolved murder occurred in Hampton, Virginia. Although there are similarities in the Isle of Wight County homicides, the Hampton homicide and those of the âColonial Parkway Murders, at the time, there was no forensic or physical evidence to link to those murders together. However, over 40 years later police have named a suspect in the Isle of Wright County murders as well as the Hampton one too. So was this sinister mind also responsible for the âColonial Parkway Murdersâ.

The death of the young boy is one of Philadelphiaâs most famous unsolved murders with the case having become known as the âBoy in the Box.â For decades this cold case has baffled Philadelphia police who over the years have pursued thousands of leads in search of the childâs identity and those responsible for his death but have continually come up empty handed. Well, that was until 2022, thanks to genetic genealogy testing and some good old-fashioned detective work, the victim has finally been identified as four-year-old Joseph Augustus Zarelli. Unfortunately, though, investigators have yet to uncover who is responsible for his death. So, who is the sinister mind responsible for the death of Joseph Augustus Zarelli.

The two cases that we will be diving into today are our last Texas cold cases we will be looking at this month. Both these cases have had more details made public than any other Texas cold case we have covered but have yet to find a resolution for the victimsâ families. However, a new theory has emerged for one that does not include foul play, while police have three suspects for the other with no arrest being made so far.
