Raynella Dossett Leath is a busy lady. Allegedly. She is accused of killing two husbands; one by shooting him and making it look like a suicide, one by doping him up on a crazy amount of morphine and sending him to the barn so he could be killed by a cattle stampede.

Then she found out that her first husband had a child with another woman … so she lured that kid’s acting father to a barn (again with the barn!)…

telling him she had found some papers related to the child. Once there, she opened fire on him, according to his account, and chased him across the hayfields until she ran out of ammunition. According to Mr. Walker’s statement to the police, she said she would kill him and the child’s mother and raise the child herself. [NYT]

She is a Knoxville favorite. Most likely to succeed. In prison.

When cousins marry…

A Pakistani couple murdered their 4-month-old baby girl in a black magic ritual to get rich. They were apparently about to kill their toddler as well, when neighbors heard the screams and broke through the door. Fine idea, folks. Congrats on your success.

Today’s bit o’ sick: monkey muffs.

If your wee dainty hands are prone to chill, warm ‘em up with a “classy” monkey fur muff!

eBay has SEVERAL bidding opportunities for the discerning shopper.

So stick your hands in a decades-dead monkey. It’s hot. And arguably more disgusting than a psycho who goes on a shooting spree after Thanksgiving dinner.

Rather than enjoying a postprandial snooze, Paul Michael Merhige opened fire on his family, killing his two sisters (twins, one of whom was pregnant), an aunt, and a 6-year-old cousin. Holidays are hell.

More on Merhige from the Palm Beach Post.

Sick tag: monkey muff

OK, so a lot of sick shit has gone down since I last posted. A family was killed by a loser douchebag horror-core fan (he’s been indicted); a bunch of missing people were found dead and decomposed in Cleveland (tip: keep your rotting bodies in a house next to a sausage factory, who’ll know??); it was the 50 year anniversary of the brutal “In Cold Blood” murders; a possible jihadist / possible dude-with-major-problems killed 13 people at Fort Hood, TX; the Vice President’s motorcade killed a pedestrian; the DC sniper was finally executed; but what’s REALLY sick is an Idaho prosecutor and GOP bigwig pleaded guilty to stalking his girlfriend and throwing no less than TEN semen-filled condoms on her yard. And he’s 56 years old. DUUUDE.

And if you need cheering up, at least you aren’t blind and nose-less from being mauled by a chimp.

When she determined her daughters were possessed by demons, Banita Jacks killed them. All FOUR of them. Ok, allegedly.

The four bodies were discovered in her home in January 2008, when police arrived to deliver an eviction notice. They’d been dead and decaying in an upstairs bedroom for nearly SEVEN MONTHS.

Jacks, 35, told police that she did not kill the girls and that they died in their sleep “one at a time” over a 10-day period, charging documents said. Jacks said the girls were “possessed with demons” and referred to her oldest daughter, Brittany, as a Jezebel, the wicked biblical character. (WP)

Can you believe only 5 people wanted a Caylee doll? And if you didn’t get one already, you probably missed your chance. The Florida Attorney General has brought a lawsuit against their distributer. Apparently it’s illegal to claim that your proceeds will go to charity… and then renege.

Showbiz Promotions was also hawking Michael Vick chew toys for dogs. Customers never received their orders, and promised donations to animal shelters never materialized.

Sunday morning, Robert Stewart shot and killed 8 people in a North Carolina nursing home. Grandparents, people in wheelchairs! What a total fuckface. Seven of the people he killed were elderly patients, 1 was a nurse.

“He came in with a shotgun, a rifle and a couple other kinds of weapons and he just went around shooting people, people in wheelchairs and this type of thing,” Sen. Harris Blake of the North Carolina State Assembly said. “This could not be any more barbaric.” (ABC)

PS – ABC, you’re not a tabloid. “Carnage in Carthage” is a tacky headline.

Mexican drug cartels have a little ice chest fetish I think. Or maybe an inappropriate adoration of severed heads. In any case, they keep leaving heads in ice chests outside police stations. Admittedly, it makes a statement.

Most recently: 

What’s sicker than Mexican drug cartels hiring teenage hitmen? Definitely the eyelid tattoos. I just threw up a little in my mouth.

So in addition to killing and/or terrorizing and/or torturing and/or beheading anyone who gets in the way, the cartels have also been employing KIDS as assassins. Rosalio Reta started when he was just 13. 

The pay was pretty impressive — $500/week retainer + $50,000 and 2 kilos of cocaine for every hit. Nice work if you can get it? Maybe not.

Just hours before they were arrested, federal authorities taped a phone conversation between them in which Cardona brags about killing 14-year-old Inez Villareal and his cousin, a Cardona rival.

Cardona laughs as he describes torturing the two boys and dumping their bodies in large metal drums filled with diesel fuel. He says he made “guiso,” or stew, with their bodies. (CNN)

The LA Times puts drug-war-related deaths at 7,337 in the last two years.
