Description

Jailed in 1943 for a horrific murder, notorious New York State criminal Frederick Wood had already killed twice before. Unfortunately, he’d got away with those slayings – neither police nor the parole board knew anything about them – and in June 1960 he was let loose. Three weeks later, Wood was killing again – and this time he would never taste freedom again. Turn to  US Executions – The Forgotten Decade: Three-Time Killer Paroled…To Murder Again, for the full story.

A sleepover seemed like a fun idea to Payton Lautner, 12. Trouble was, her two pals were intent on becoming violent proxies for a digital myth called The Slenderman.  Young Girls In Murderous Attack.
