Terrible Torture On Ryan’s Ranch
(Murder Most Foul No. 128)

Ryan got together some 20 or so followers who seemed prepared to believe that he must be God, and bought a compound at Rulo, in that little corner of America where Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri come together and formed a mystical survivalist group in which he was a prophet proclaiming the end of the world was nigh.

Hampshire Boyfriend Butchered By Serial Killer Groupie
(Master Detective June 2023)
Shaye Groves was obsessed with serial killers, and her boyfriend, 25-year-old Frankie Fitzgerald, loved it – right up until the moment she decided to try it for herself... According to Shaye, in the heat of the moment, in fear for her life she tried to grab something to hit Frankie with, to stop him attacking her. “I reached out to grab an object on the bookcase and I hit him in the throat,” she continued. “I have a money box there and I thought that if I hit him with that it would get him off.
