I was researching online and I found a very interesting case that took place in Houston, Texas. This case involved a 22-year-old female at the time that goes by the name of Cherita Thurman. Cherita was beaten very badly and hog-tied in her apartment back in 2002(KHOU, 2017). The exterminator was making his rounds and that’s when he found her breathless body just lying there. Cherita death was immediately ruled as a homicide because there were no leads to the case (KHOU, 2017).

The book’s main focus is on the scientific uses of cadavers. Roach’s first chapter covers the use of cadaver heads as a means to practice surgical skills. Roach was invited to watch plastic surgeons brush up on their face-lifting skills. She explains that no part of a body donated to science is wasted. This is evident in another, later chapter about the studies around the body during crucifixion.
Through extensive research and investigation of graves, scientists are able to receive lots of data about the people living at the time. The author presented the information about the
A couple college students looked at the river and saw something white in the water, that was not a hydroplane. The students walked closer and closer and discovered a skeleton. Thinking it might be a part of a murder, they called the police. This issue is important because, in the tenth section of the Washington state constitution, the section states “Justice shall be administered openly and without unnecessary delay.” (Section 10, Washington state constitution).
The 1920s were a time when 19th amendment was a big deal. Also, sports were a really big thing baseball was a really popular sport in that time. Another action was the prohibition was also going on during this time that lasted from 1920-1933. Lots more people were alo living in cities instead of on farms. In the 1920s one of the main amendment that got passed was the 19th amendment, But the 20s also had its bad ideas for the economy such as the 18th amendment, Also, another big event was the popularity of sports.
The 19th amendment was established as a way for citizens to vote in elections and not be denied the right to vote based on their sex. This amendment didn’t just get passed overnight, years and years of creating organizations and protesting were put in place until this amendment got passed in 1920. Many organizations came together and broke apart, then reformed again. One example being the National American Women’s Suffrage Association (NAWSA) which was originally the National Woman's Suffrage Association and the American Woman Suffrage Association and came together in 1890. The NAWSA was lead by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, Lucy Stone and her daughter, Alice Stone Blackwell.
From the early fifth century, all the way into the renaissance in the fifteenth century, society heavily revolved around inhumane, public punishment and torture. Though many of the techniques are infamous even until this day, and in some cases were practiced until recent years, a few notable methods of humiliation and execution come to mind. These include the horrific practices of flaying alive, extended stays in the pillory and stocks, burning alive, and what may be the most gruesome of executions, hanging, drawing, and quartering. The pillory and stocks were similar devices, used to confine people convicted of breaking various laws in public locations for a duration of time ranging from a few hours, to a few days.
The Nineteenth Amendment was ratified into the U.S. constitution in 1920 and played a key role during the Progressive Era. Starting in 1848, the women’s rights movement began launching at a national level. Several conventions, including the Seneca Falls Convention, began demanding the right for women to vote. After a hard and long-fought battle for nearly a century, these conventions were finally victorious when the 19th amendment was passed. Although the privilege for women to vote was implied in the 14th Amendment, many states continued to restrict or prohibit women suffrage.
Three murder case studies will be presented and compare here: Marian Bates, Martha Moxley, and Elizabeth Short. Marian Bates was a 64 year old Nottingham Jeweler who was murdered in front of her husband, Victor Bates, and children. Peter Williams, a 19 year old drug addict was released early from prison and was supposedly under “intense supervision”. Williams removed his tag and violated his curfew. He and an unidentified gunman who is still at large, raided a jewelry store on September 30th 2003.
From 1889 to 1918 African Americans were burned at the stake or hanged. They would be accused of crimes, for example murder. Lynchings weren 't in secret, they were published in the papers or by word of mouth to the public in advanced. To some it was entertainment, and body parts of the African American were sold to bystanders. Photographers record what happens at the lynchings and sold photos.
One was a prostitute who was killed by her partner, who was forced to wear an S&M device and rape her. The other murder was also a female who was asked whether to call for help, or to commit suicide, she chose the latter. With this, lust and pride were seen written in the area where the death happened. However, there was one case, where instead of finding a murder, a drug dealer and child molester, was found tied to his bed and as the police thought that he was dead, he turned out to be alive but barely living.
In this step, the murder is doing something to the body so that when they see it, they remember the murder. In remembrance of the murderers "feeling of power and control," they may use body parts "as mementos and souvenirs"(Dolan 54). To add, the murderer may have the victim "buried in isolated spots to which the killer might return"(Dolan 55). Clearly, after the murder, the murderer will want to remember the killing of their victim and they remember with what they do with the victims remains. Similarly, in "The Landlady" the lady remembered her victims in the same ways as talked about in Serial Murder.
The selected case for this discussion is John the pseudo-necrophile a man who pretends to have sex with corpses. He has had fantasies about being with a dead person for some time and in an attempt to satisfy his fantasy of being with a dead person sexually, he has attended funerals and uses online chat room that concentrate on death. John solicites prostitutes to be sexual with on top of graves in cemeteries to help him overcome his fantasies. John has even had these prostitutes to pose as corpses so that he may have a sexual encounter with them. The prostitute will ice themselves to present cold skin and douse themselves in white powder to appear more “corpse like” for John even getting inside of a coffin.
