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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

German teenager Tim Kretschmer shot and killed 9 students, 3 teachers, and 3 passers-by. He started the shooting at his former school, shooting most victims in the head. 

As the first police arrived at the school, he fled and killed a person working in a hospital nearby, then hijacked a car, taking the driver hostage. (CNN)

He drove to a car dealership, where a final shoot-out with police left Kretschmer and two by-standers dead.

Crazy in Alabama. Michael Kenneth McClendon went on a shooting rampage yesterday, killing his family and several innocent bystanders. He started with his mother, burning down her house. Then he went to the next town to kill his grandparents, and an aunt and uncle. Why can’t these people snuff themselves first, instead of taking down a lot of innocent victims?

Not kill his parents because they took away his toy. Waa waa. Way to go Daniel Petric. You should win douche of the week. 

After Petric’s parents took away his Halo 3 game — which he would play for as long as 18 hours a day (not that there’s anything wrong with that) — he shot them both in the head. Amazingly (or not, maybe Petric was a shitty first-person-shooter as well), his father survived. 

Mark Petric testified that his son came into the room and asked: “Would you guys close your eyes? I have a surprise for you.” He testified that he expected a pleasant surprise. Then his head went numb from the gunshot. (AP)

I’m betting there’s no XBOX in prison, kid.

Way back in the old days, 1980, one of John Gotti’s neighbors ran over his 12-year-old son and killed him. The kid was on a minibike, and it was totally an accident, but the neighbor (John Favara) went missing 5 months later. Court papers filed this week say that Favara was shot, and his body dissolved in acid.

This is totally sick and way beyond proportional response, but if you killed the son of a known mafioso, wouldn’t you move? Especially after months of harassment and death threats and a scene with a bat-wielding Victoria Gotti?
