Description

Bad wives: Denise Williams was married to Jerry Michael Williams for six years. The two had a very successful life together. Michael disappeared on the morning of December 16, 2000 he was said to be duck hunting at Lake Seminole. That day the two were supposed to celebrate their anniversary. When noon hit Denise called her father and Michael’s best friend to have them drive down to the lake and look for Michael with her. His car and boat were found at the lake but Micheal was nowhere to be seen. Search and rescue teams were deployed and countless hours were spent searching the lake. Law enforcement suspected that Micheal might have drowned and was later eaten by alligators. There were a few issues with that theory. That day was cold and alligators do not feed in the cold. Also when alligators eat there are remains left behind, they do not eat whole. No remains of Michael were discovered. At the time of his disappearance Michael was making $200,000 a year (2000) almost $300,000 in 2021. After six months of being missing Denise filed to have his death certificate published. Of interest is that Michael allegedly took out 1.5 million dollar life insurance policy but Denise could have very well taken it out as Michael. Once his life insurance plan started rolling in Denise married Michaels best friend who just so happened to sell Michael the insurance policy. With no leads the case went cold. Michael’s mother never let up, she needed to know what happened to her son. In 2017 Michael’s body was discovered. In 2019 Denise was sentenced to life in prison. Denise and Michael’s daughter was awarded the remainder of the money. At first the media painted Denise as a loving, devoted, concerned wife but as the investigation went on it was clear she was not concerned about her husband’s death. She did not want to spend any money looking for her husband and wanted to forget about him and move on. Media did not call her a suspect but did say that every time they tried https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Jerry_Michael_Williams https://youtu.be/nvMIegWM1JY Bad Mothers: Mitchelle Blair was a 36-year-old mother from Detroit that unapologetically admitted to killing two of her four children and storing them in her deep freezer. Although she never reported it Blair claimed her 13-year-old daughter and 9-year-old son had been gang-raping her 6-year-old youngest son. In a fit of rage, Blair took justice into her own hands imposing the death penalty on her own children. She tortured her nine-year-old son Stephan for two weeks, strangling him with belts, pour boiling water on him and his genitalia, suffocating him with plastic bags. She claims she did not mean to kill Stephan only make him pay for sexually abusing her other son. Nevertheless on August 30, 2012, Stephan took his last breath and his mother wrapped him up in a blanket and stored him in her deep freezer where he laid for well over a year. She admits she meant to kill Stormi on May 25, 2013, when she discovered Stormi was involved. She thought to herself she already killed Stephan so Stormi deserved to die too. The media painted Blair for the monster she truly. Although she painted herself as a loving mother before discovering the sexual abuse going on in her home autopsies performed in 2015 uncovered years of abuse.

On August 4, 1892 her father and step mother were murdered in their home. Her step mother suffered 18 blows with an ax and her father 10 or 11. At the scene of the crime Borden was not questioned or frisked because no one suspected she committed the heinous crime. Sooner or later Lizzie became a suspect in the death of her parents. Lizzie cooperated with the police but her answers contradicted herself and raised an eyebrow to law enforcement. She was depicted in the media as a jealous step daughter who despised the fact that her father moved on from her mother.

Blancharde fooled numerous organizations and played on their sympathetic hearts. The two even had a home built for them completely free because of Gypsy’s “illnesses.” The media depicted that Blancharde was a mastermind manipulator who suffered from mental illness. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Dee_Dee_Blanchard Dirty Harry: There is a reason the movie was so popular in 1971.
