Newlyweds Dalia and Michael were off to a rocky start just six months into their marriage, and Dalia decided she was done. Instead of taking a more rational approach, she resorted to increasingly desperate plots and plans to free herself from the prison of matrimony. Thankfully that desperation made her incredibly easy to convict, although the absolute senselessness of her defense arguments also sealed her fate quite effectively.

Often when we hear about Black Widows, we see the pattern of a cunning woman who plays the part of the grieving widow in order to maintain her cover. Lynn Turner did no such thing. Lynn lacked any kind of discretion when it came to getting exactly what she wanted, and she didn't try to make anyone like her except for the men she went after. Lynn's actions would go on to be documented in several true crime television shows, and actually became the inspiration for another case we covered in a previous

In Amarillo, TX during the 1990's there was a building tension between two very distinct subcultures in the town's youth which erupted in a scene of absolute chaos one fateful December night. This murder tore the community of Amarillo apart and the effects still ripple through punk culture today. Brian Deneke's life was stolen.
