Centenaries - whole and half

[GUT]

Every few years a report comes outthat the Beaumont children have been found alive somewhere.

Nothing ever comes of it.

Adelaide has had a few kids disappear over the years.

It is very sad when a child is murdered, and there is no closure for the parents. It's even sadder when the police have a good suspect, but no evidence to arrest him on.
A local child murder in my area occurred in July 1991, when a 10 year old boy was stabbed to death. In 2014, one of the chief suspects was sentenced for an unreleated charge. Does that help the parents or the police officers on Jakeob's case? I don't know...

I've dealt with a few people in that position over the years (in different capacities) I'm not sure anything helps to be honest.

We don't have the death penalty here, but I doubt that really helps either.

In one situation the perpetrator was killed in gaol, the father was actually devastated, he had thought of such a thing happening many times and thought it would help, but when he realized it didn't bring his little boy back it actually made things worse for him. I think it was the stark reality tha nothing (except maybe time) would ever make it hurt any less.

50 years ago - 1966 January 26 - The three Beaumont Siblings, Jane, 9, Anna, 7, and Grant, 4, vanish from Glenelg Beach near Adelaide. During the day, the children had been seen in the company of an unidentified adult male. They have never been found and this mystery is still unsolved. Many suspect that they were murdered and that this crime might be related to other child slayings and disappearances, including the Wanda Beach Murders, one year previous.

And yet again this year police are begging for someone to come forward.

Can't possibly see any connection to Wanda Beach where two adults were killed half a continent away.

50 years ago - 1966 February 6 - On a beach outside of Dublin, Peggy Flynn, 49, is found murdered. The Irish prostitute had been strangled with one of her own stockings. A soldier named Maurice Murdock, 24, first confessed to the killing but later reversed his admission and was found not guilty at his trial. The case is still officially unsolved.

100 years ago - 1916 February 2 - Maude Lynch succumbs at The Archer Home for the Elderly and Infirm in Windsor, Connecticut. The woman and other patients as well as some husbands of the establishment's owner, Amy Archer-Gilligan, are later found to have been killed with arsenic. The motive was the collection of insurance benefits. Sister Amy, as she was called, was convicted of another murder and sent to prison for life. In 1924, the killer was transferred to an insane asylum where she died in 1962.

100 years ago - 1916 January 30 - In New York, Hannah Peck dies three weeks after being given a cocktail of lethal bacteria by her so-in-law Dr. Arthur Warren Waite. The doctor then went on to kill her husband and was in the process of doing the same to his own wife when he was found out. His motive was the collection of inheritance and life insurance benefits. Waite went to the eletric chair in 1917.

If I complete my mission in 2058, I should have about 7500 crime date accounts on here.

50 years ago - 1966 January 21 - In Georgia, Charles Gibbs dies as a result of being fed arsenic by his wife Janie. During the next 23 months, Mrs. Gibbs will go on to murder her three sons and a baby grandson with the same substance. The serial killer's motive was to collect on inheritance and insurance benefits. Janie Gibbs was eventually found guilty and sent to prison for five life terms but was released in 1999 due to ill health and wound up in a nursing home where she died in 2010.

Nope.

Mrs Gut married me to make my life hell. Just ask her.

I feel sorry for you, GUT!

Don't you mean masochists, Gut?

150 years ago - 1866 January 19 - Mrs. Martha Grinder is hanged in Pittsburgh for the poisoning murders of two women in a 15 month period. She is also suspected of murdering several other individuals. Grinder's motive seemed to purely be sadism which makes her rather unusual among female serial killers.

Don't know Stan, most shielas are sadists, that's why they marry blokes.
