Milana Li was only 13 years-old when she was found deceased near her family’s Beaverton, Oregon home on May 10th, 2022.The young girl was last seen alive on May 8th. Milana left her home around 4:00 PM that afternoon to take a walk along the Westside Regional Trail to Barrows Park. Milana regularly walked this route and was typically only gone for half an hour to an hour. When she did not return for her 8:00 PM curfew, her family members began to worry. Milana was reported missing the following day.

Milana and her family are originally from Kazakhstan. The family moved to Beaverton a few years before Milana’s untimely death. Milana’s mother lives full time in Beaverton with their children, while Milana’s father travels back and forth between Beaverton and Kazakhstan, where he runs a business. Members of the community in Beaverton described Milana and a quiet and sweet young girl. When she was first reported missing, police classified her as a runaway-despite the fact that she has no history of such behavior.

Shortly after 2:00 PM on May 10th, police received a call about “suspicious circumstances” in a small stream at Westside Linear Park. When officers responded the scene, they found the body of a young girl in the water. A short time later, the young girl was identified as Milana Li.

An autopsy determined that Milana died by homicide. At this time, investigators have declined to comment on her exact cause of death. Very little other information about the investigation has been revealed. Police are now searching for Milana’s killer. Though an arrest has not yet been made, police maintain that they do not believe there is a threat to the community at this time.

If you have any information that could lead to an arrest of Milana’s killer, please contact Beaverton authorities at 503-629-0111.

Taylore Jones was murdered inside her New Orleans, Louisiana home during the early morning hours of December 21st, 2021. The 26-year-old woman was living in an apartment in the Bywater neighborhood at the time of her death. The New Orleans Police Department responded to a call shortly after 5:00 AM about a woman who had been stabbed in the 700 Block of Lesseps Street. When officers arrived at the apartment, they found Taylore suffering from multiple stab wounds. She was transported to a nearby hospital, where she passed shortly thereafter.

Taylore had lived in New Orleans for less than a year before her untimely death. She moved there in March 2021. According to friends, Taylore was attracted to the music scene in New Orleans. She also loved being able to travel around town on her skateboard. In fact, just hours before she was killed, Taylore was seen riding her skateboard home from her job at Café Negril.

A few months after Taylore’s murder, police released surveillance footage of the potential suspect. In the footage, a person wearing all black is seen walking towards Taylore’s apartment. Around 30 minutes later, the same individual is seen running away from the apartment. Police believe Taylore was killed within that 30-minute window.

A motive for Taylore’s murder is unclear. Reports state that nothing was stolen from Taylore’s apartment, so a robbery has been ruled out. Police have yet to identify the person in the surveillance footage, and they are hoping that somebody from the public will recognize this individual. Detectives note that the person appeared to have a distinct belt buckle and keychain that is visible in the footage.

There is a monetary reward available for any information that could lead to the arrest of Taylore’s killer. If you recognize the person in the footage, or if you have any other information that could help the investigation, please contact the NOPD at (504) 658-6020.

Aszia Grimes was only 25 years-old when she was found murdered in Rochester, New York on September 12th, 2020. The young woman had been reported missing three days earlier. Aszia’s body was found by a passerby in a vacant lot on Orchard Street, close to her home in the Lyell Avenue neighborhood. Investigators quickly determined that her death was a homicide.

During the early stages of the investigation, Capt. Frank Umbrino of the Rochester Police stated that “police will not be releasing [Aszia’s] cause of death to protect the integrity of the investigation.” However,a post on Aszia’s case on rochesterunsolved.com states that Aszia was the victim of an assault that resulted in her death. Capt. Umbrino also said that the location where Aszia’s body was found is an area that is “not normally traveled.” Police have declined to comment on whether or not they believe Aszia was murdered in the spot where her body was found.

Aszia reportedly struggled with developmental disabilities since birth. At the time of her death, Aszia also was struggling with drug addiction. Despite this, Aszia was not known to have any enemies or conflicts with others. Members of the community described her as a helpful neighbor and a great friend. Still, the Lyell Avenue neighborhood where Aszia lived is not unfamiliar with violence. Aszia’s murder was the seventh murder that the city had experienced over a span of three weeks.

Aszia’s loved ones have vowed to never give up on finding Aszia’s killer. They also hope that Aszia’s death will help raise awareness on the ongoing issues of drug abuse and violence in Rochester. Aszia’s friend Maritza Santiago told reporters that she believes Aszia might still be alive if there were more resources and helpful services available to people struggling with addiction. Police have not commented on whether or not they believe Aszia’s drug use played a role in her murder, but it appears that is has not been ruled out.

Aszia’s mother Debi Tellier stated that she believes Aszia’s murder remains unsolved because there is an abundance of other unsolved murders in the area that have overwhelmed investigators. During a 2021 march to raise awareness on Aszia’s murder, Debi told reporters, “the reason they haven’t been able to find the person who killed my daughter and left her for dead in an empty lot is because they’re too busy being worried about all the other murders going on and we want it to stop.”

Anyone with information that could lead to the arrest of Aszia’s killer is asked to contact the Rochester Police Major Crimes Unit at 585-428-7157.

Blake Chappell’s life was headed in a positive direction during the fall of 2011. The then-17-year-old was adjusting to life in a new town after his family moved to Newnan, Georgia earlier that year. Previously, Blake and his mother Melissa lived in Clayton County. Melissa decided to move Newnan after Blake got into a physical altercation with the stepfather of his ex-girlfriend. The incident was tough on Blake, but he was doing seemingly well in Newnan. He quickly made new friends and started dating a new girlfriend. Unfortunately, before Blake’s life could continue to flourish, he was brutally murdered. His murder remains unsolved today.

Blake was last seen alive during the early morning hours of October 16th, 2011. On the evening of October 15th, Blake attended his high school homecoming dance with his girlfriend, Rion. Blake reportedly had a great time at the dance–he called his mother afterwards to tell her that he had “the best night of his life.” Blake and Rion were picked up from the dance by Rion’s mother. The pair then went back to Rion’s house where they watched a movie. Around 11:30 PM, Rion’s mother drove Blake to his friend Austin’s house, where he planned to spend the night.

At some point between 2:00 and 3:00 AM, Blake snuck out of Austin’s house and walked 3 miles back to Rion’s house. He arrived there around 4:30 AM and snuck in through Rion’s bedroom window. About half an hour later, one of Rion’s relatives caught Blake and Rion together. Knowing he was not supposed to be there, Blake quickly left the residence and began walking back toward Austin’s house.

During his walk, Blake texted with Rion several times. Around 5:30 AM, he sent her a message saying he was stopped by a police officer who asked where he was going. He sent one final text a few minutes later before ceasing all communication. Blake never arrived back at Austin’s house and was never heard from again. Blake’s mother Melissa was alerted about her son’s disappearance around 11:00 AM, after Austin contacted her and said that Blake had left his house and never returned. Melissa reported Blake missing very shortly thereafter.

Extensive searches for Blake ended unsuccessfully. Then, over two months later, passersby in Summer Grove spotted human remains in a local creek near East Newnan. Police were called, and the human remains were later identified as that of Blake Chappell. He died from a gunshot wound to the head.

After the discovery of Blake’s remains, the case shifted to a homicide investigation.

Amber Hagerman and her brother Ricky were riding bikes in their neighborhood in Arlington, Texas on January 13, 1996. After venturing into an abandoned parking lot, Ricky left Amber to return home for fear of breaking their mother’s rules of riding too far away. When Amber didn’t return with Ricky, Amber’s parents and grandparents left in search of her. Finding a police officer at the scene, they were told a man had called the cops when he heard a young girl screaming and saw a man carrying a young girl to his truck. Four days later, after an extensive search, Amber’s body was found stabbed to death near a drainage ditch. Despite the horror of the case, it led to the development of the AMBER Alert system.

Brian Shaffer was just 27 years old when he vanished off the face of the earth during spring break in 2006. 

Shaffer, who was a second year medical student at Ohio state university, went missing after a night of bar hopping with friends on Friday March 31^st. 2006. Before hitting the town with friends that night, he went out to dinner with his dad and brother to celebrate. His father did not notice anything off about his son other than the fact that he seemed fatigued which he thought was probably due to one too many late nights of studying for his exams. Around 9:50PM Brian made a call to his girlfriend. She had no idea it would be the last time she heard his voice.
After the family meal Brian met with a friend named William “Clint” Florence at around 10PM . The two met a local bar named “The ugly tuna saloona”. The bar was on 1546 north High Street in Columbus, but Google it these days and you’ll notice it’s recorded as being permanently closed.

The Ugly Tuna Saloona has an average rating of 2 out of 5 stars on Yelp- “They have one of, if not the best happy hours on campus being $1 any well drink from 8-10 Monday-Saturday” says one customer. “How can you hate a place that sells Jell-o shots in a big plastic syringe and puts a plastic alligator in your huge fishbowl o’ alcohol???” another user writes.

From there Brian and Clint visited multiple bars throughout the course of the evening, slamming a shot at each establishment with the aim of ending up at Arena district.  The Arena district is a neighborhood in Columbus that is easy to walk to on foot. It has everything from bars and restaurants to malls and sports facilities..
Arena district would be around a 40 minute walk from the Ugly Tuna Saloona in North High Street.

Brian and Clint reached their destination at around midnight after stopping at various bars along the way. They hitched a ride back with a female friend of Clint named Meredith Reed. The three drove back to the Ugly Tuna and had one last drink together.Surveillance footage from the bar confirms that the three did indeed go back to the Tuna and they were recorded arriving at 1:15AM.
At some point Clint noticed that Brian was missing. Despite their repeated attempts to call and locate him he was nowhere to be found. Clint and Meredith were eventually ushered out of the bar at closing time, around 2AM. Although they continued to wait for their missing friend outside of the bar, he never showed up.  They did tell police that Brian went to talk to the live band after they finished their set that night, but the members couldn’t offer up any helpful information. Brian had two sides to him, on one hand he had been training his whole life to become a doctor, and on the other hand he wanted nothing more than to be a musician and song writer. He was a fan of Eddie Vedder and Jimmy Buffett and had a tattoo of the artwork from the Pearl Jam single “Alive”.

On the 28th of July 1986, 25 year old Suzy Lamplugh disappeared from Fulham, South London, where she worked as a real estate agent. She had previously been employed as a beautician on the Queen Elizabeth II cruise ship, but had decided to take a new direction.
Following clues found in her work planner, police discovered that she had left her office at Sturges estate agents on Fullham road around lunch time in order to meet a client who was interested in a £130,000 property on Shorrolds road.
“37 Shorrolds road o/s” the note said. “12:45, Mr. Kipper”.“o/s” is believed to stand for “outside”.

According to Google maps, it’s only a six minute drive from the office to the property. Suzy climbed into her white Ford Fiesta company car,registration number B396GAN and presumably made her way to the appointment.

Mr. Kipper was unknown to Suzy’s co-workers. They had no record of him on file at the office and it wasn’t a name any of them recognized.
When the 25 year old failed to return to the office, her family was contacted, and in turn, they contacted the police to report her missing. The police search was thorough. Officers employed the use of dogs and searched Sharrolds road, the surrounding area including Brompton cemetery and made a trip to the missing woman’s flat in Putney- just less than 3 miles from her workplace.
There was nothing out of the ordinary at Suzy’s flat. No sign of a struggle. No evidence that she planned to walk away voluntarily. Everything seemed to be in order. 

Police utilized helicopters to scan parks and cemeteries but found nothing.
The first worrying sign in the case came when the woman’s car was found at around 10pm that night parked on Stevenage road. The vehicle is described as being hastily parked, blocking off part of a residents garage and the doors were unlocked. The seat had been adjusted in such a way that investigators believe someone other than Suzy was driving.  The keys were missing but her purse was in the vehicle.

As we can see from the map, Stevenage road is just over a mile away, around a 7 minute drive, nearby Fullham football ground and bishops park which stretches north of the Thames river.
Divers searched the Thames, but came up empty handed.
I found this article, which states Sturges estate agency also had a property at Stevenage road on their books.
When police reached out to the public for information they received a couple of accounts from witnesses passing through the area who recalled seeing a young woman arguing with a man. This article states that Suzy was seen exiting the property on Shorrolds road with the client at around 1pm.Despite massive media coverage and hundreds upon hundreds of phone calls from the public, Suzy Lamplugh was nowhere to be found. A search of her company car found no signs of a struggle. Investigators entertained the notion that she initially went voluntarily with whoever was driving her Ford fiesta that day, but were at a loss when attempting to fill in the blanks of what happened afterwards.
Although 800 unidentified bodies were tested, none of them turned out to be Suzy. With no leads in the case, it simply went cold.

Mr. Kipper

An artist came up with this composite sketch using descriptions given by witnesses who saw Suzy and the man arguingThe artist’s rendition of Mr. Kipper turned out to resemble a later suspect in the case, a Mr. John Cannan.
(source)
Cannan was responsible for the rape of a woman in the Reading area in 1986. He was on a train from Bristol to London and got off at Reading where he committed the crime. Although he provided an alibi his DNA was present on the victim which eventually led to his arrest.
Cannan then attempted to kidnap a businesswoman from Bristol, Julia Holman, in the autumn of 1987. Although he threatened her to comply at gunpoint, she refused to go down without a fight and escaped.
He later murdered a woman named Shirley Banks whom he killed in Bristol. Banks was the manager of a local factory and a married woman who was quickly missed by her husband who searched for her when she did not turn up to a bar they planned to meet at after her shopping trip.
Strangely, she called into work the following day and said she wouldn’t be able to come in due to sickness.  It’s thought that Shirley Banks was kept overnight at John Cannan’s residence at Foye House, Leigh Woods, Bristol, and that he most likely threatened to hurt her if she didn’t call in to work. He would have needed her to do this so it would appear as though she had gone missing voluntarily to give him more time to do whatever he was going to do.
After Banks’ husband reported her missing a massive search was underway. Her picture, name, description and last known whereabouts were broadcasted on TV and printed in the media.John Cannon committed crimes so compulsively that it was no surprise that he was eventually caught in the act and chased down by civilians who alerted the authorities. Police finally apprehended him on the 29^th of October, 1987, after an attempted robbery at a dress shop in Lemmington Spa.
A search of his vehicle, a black BMW parked a stone’s throw away, turned up a fake plastic pistol (likely the one he threatened Julia Holman with) and a length of rope. A bag and the knife he used to threaten various victims were found discarded nearby.
The investigation continued and as time passed more damning evidence turned up. The tax disc from Banks’ missing orange Mini Clubman car was found in the glove box of Cannan’s BMW.When the Mini was eventually located in a garage near Cannan’s flat, police discovered the once orange vehicle had been painted blue in an attempt to disguise the once distinctive car.
A thumb print in Cannan’s flat matched that of Shirley. Her remains were found at “Dead woman’s ditch” in Somerset, England on the Quantock Hills. She had been raped and bludgeoned with a rock.

Keep these details in mind as we continue on.

Cannan had been committing crimes against women since he was just 14 years old. Back in 1968 when he was a teenager living in Erdington, Warwickshire, he assaulted a woman in a phone box.
He was actually married from 1978 – 1980 to a woman named June Vale. The couple had a daughter together. Cannon eventually left his wife for another woman named Daphne Sargent. When Sargent tried to leave him, he attempted to stop her using violence.
From there he began to rob stores and rape women at knifepoint, resulting in his incarceration at Her Majesties Prison in Bristol where he was serving eight years. He was transferred to Wormwood Scrubs prison in London, eventually.

Here’s an interesting piece of information concerning his whereabouts on the day that Suzy went missing- Cannan was on day release from wormwood scrubs. The distance between Wormwood scrubs and Fullham road is just over 4 miles away, an average of 18 minutes by car.
Those who were unaware of his criminal history would describe him as good looking and charming. He had a way with women and claimed that he’d had around 100 one night stands. John Cannan was fond of middle class professional woman. He had a shtick of his own that involved playing the role of a business man and wooing his targets with bouquets of flowers, boxes of candy, champagne and trinkets. If things went well, he would date them, if they rejected his advances, he would most likely attack them.
An episode of crimewatch UK about Suzy’s disappearance featured a dating tape Cannan had made at an agency seeking women.

In it, he comes across as thoughtful and charming. Listen closely and he may not be as eloquent as he tried so hard to seem, often using words incorrectly in sentences.One of Cannan’s ex-girlfriends came forward to police to share some disturbing information. She revealed to investigators that John Cannan had some kind of fascination with Suzy’s case. At one point while they were driving past Norton Barracks, a military site in Worcestershire, Cannan said to her “Suzy Lamplugh is buried there”.Police searched the area extensively but found nothing.A couple of years later police entertained the idea that the ex-girlfriend was possibly referring to Norton Manor Royal Marines barracks, located just 8 miles away from where the body of Shirley Banks was discovered in Somerset. Still, a search turned up nothing.

Years later a car linked to Cannan was recovered. It had a fake license plate that said: SLP 386 (possibly Suzy Lamplough, 3rd victim, 1986?)

The Suffolk Strangler

Various articles online question whether or not Steve “the Suffolk stranger” Wright could be responsible for the murder of Suzy Lamplugh.
Apparently this suspicion came up following a documentary about the serial killer who was active in Ipswich in the mid 2000’s.The murders spanned 10 days in which Wright claimed 5 victims. If we look at the Stranglers M.O Suzy doesn’t appear to fit his victim type, however police found a photograph amongst the serial killers personal possessions that feature himself and Suzy.
He too worked on the Queen Elizabeth II cruise ship at the same time as Suzy. He was ruled out as a suspect and denied any role.
I personally can’t escape the idea that Cannan is responsible. Suzy fits his victim type (“Posh” professional women, 20 something etc.) We also know that he was near Fulham on the day of her disappearance. We know he talked about Suzy on many occasions to his girlfriend at the time, making his morbid jokes about knowing where she was buried. Plus the license plate with what could be an abbreviation for her name, the year and victim number.
Lastly, this article states that Suzy was being harassed by a man from Bristol (Cannan was born there) who drove around in a black BMW. Witnesses who saw Suzy with “Mr. Kipper” that day said the man drove the same kind of car.

Suzy Lamplugh’s remains were never found.

These are good playlists for just before you go to sleep or whatever. Some of the readers have branched out to do lists and cover crime or paranormal stories too.

EDIT: post was really long, all details in the link above. 

I woke to this morning to several DM’s all directing me to online articles about a self-confessed time traveler named Noah.

“Time traveller’ man from 2030 makes specific predictions for the future” read the headline of an article from news.com.au.

“Time travel SHOCK CLAIM: Man from the ‘year 2030’ says ALIENS become ALLIES with the US” cried the Express online.
“BACK TO THE FUTURE Man claiming to be a time-traveller from 2030 ‘PASSES lie-detector test’… and he has these predictions for the next 10 years” wrote the Sun.

Everyone loves a good time traveller story, just ask you tube; “Time travellers caught on tape”, “time traveller took this video in the year 2120”, “Time traveller caught on 911 call’.

Remember that photograph of the “Time travelling hipster”?

Admittedly in a sea of generic folk from the 1940’s dressed in suits and hats, the dude in the shades and casual clothing holding a portable camera does stand out- but is his casual attire really undeniable evidence of time travel?
After much excitement the seemingly modern items in the photograph were proven to have been available and on the market at the time the image was captured. The logo tee turned out to be a hockey jersey, the protective glasses were on sale at the time and the camera was confirmed by Kodak as likely being a Kodak 35, which was introduced in 1938.

So, friends, it’s now time for us to look into the newest time traveler on the block, a man from the year 2030- the man known only as “Noah”.

Apparently the first video of Noah appeared on YouTube on the 17^th of November 2017. The first result on YouTube is a video by a channel called paranormal elite that currently has 33K subscribers. The video, titled “Time Traveler Who Has Been To The Year 2030 Shares His Experiences”, is (at the time I write this) sitting at over 2 million views.

The introduction lays out the basic information we need to know about who Noah is. The channel claims that an individual located in Guadalajara, Mexico contacted them via phone and claimed to be an ex-US government worker who was fired after failing a time-travel mission in South America. The individual identified himself as only “Noah” as he feared he would be taken out by the US government if they were to discover his identity. Noah claimed that he was 50 years old, but had taken an age reversal drug that shaved off 25 years, making him appear to be 25 years old.

He told Paranormal Elite that the constant time travel had affected him mentally that he has depression and an eating disorder as a result.After the introduction we see a video of Noah clad in a burgundy with his face obscured, reading from a pre-written statement explaining that he is a time traveler and wants to prove to us all that time travel will be available to the public in 2028.  To do so, he claims that he has traveled back to the 13^th of November 2017 from the year 2021- which he claims is where he existed for most of his “natural life”.

The statement is then interrupted by Noah getting seemingly overwhelmed before asking for a moment to compose himself . At one point he starts sobbing and the P.E channel slides in a message telling viewers not to feel bad as they have donated around “$700 in food and water to help him get by”.
In order to prove that he really is from the future, Noah has provided us with a list of predictions for technologies that will be available to us in the near future- 2021 to be exact. 

Here’s the list:

1.Electric cars that are able to cover an average of 600 miles on one full charge

2. HD video recording glasses with augmented reality. Basically like Terminator shades or an advanced pair of Google glasses that can do way more than show you maps and make a phone call. These 2021 glasses will supposedly have an augmented reality screen that will basically allow us to perceive generated data that we can see, hear and touch etc.  Essentially we’ll be living in the “black mirror” universe in a couple of years.

3. Trump will be re-elected. He’s 100% certain, apparently.

After displaying some symptoms of stress, he wishes us good luck for the future and signs off.

On the 5^th of August, 2018, a YouTube channel called APEX TV boasting 686K followers posted a follow up interview with Noah titled: “Time Traveler Noah From 2030 Tells His Story”.  A far cry from the 3 minute video originally posted on Paranormal Elite, this video is over 37 minutes long.It’s important to note that paranormal elite is part of APEXTV.

Now I actually sat down and watched that 37 minute video(I know) and I thought I’d recap it here for you, so you can skim-read what Noah claims to be his story:

In 2025 Noah was in his teens and attending high school. He was bullied for having a stutter as a child, but was smart and got good grades- in fact he got straight A’s across the board. One day, out of the blue, a pair of men with shaved heads, clad in suits (he accidentally describes them as “tuxedos”) had him pulled into the office and forced him into a top secret government program where he would have to travel through time to complete missions and the past and future. 

He was prohibited to tell anyone about the project and began to feel isolated from the rest of the world.He was driven out to a military complex in the middle of the Nevada desert where he had to register as a worker. He was then led down a staircase into a basement level facility where he saw an unfathomably large glass time machine crawling with mechanics. 

He signed an 8 year contact with the government and was put into a small class of  trainees (five in total)  and lived at an on-site dorm with minimal furnishings. From there he studied until it came time to take the final exam, which he passed. A chip was then implanted into his left wrist- a painful procedure that had him in intense pain for several days. 

Noah hated the job, but he could be at least relieved in the knowledge that he didn’t have a contract as long as some of the others in his class, some of whom received 50 – life.

Christian Frigerio was 23 years old when he went missing on the 14^th of November 1996 in Carugate, Milan in Italy.

According to the doe network, Frigerio called his brother from work at a construction site and warned him not to leave the house. He left work at 6pm as usual, but according to his employer he seemed concerned and worried. Despite the rain, he began to bike back home and was never seen again.

Frigerio’s mother claims that he disappeared at the hands of a cult she believed he was involved in, a cult by the name of “Bestie di Satana”. She said she noticed that he had bite makes, scratches and burns on his body around the time of his disappearance and believes that he was murdered and buried. 

Bestie di Satana or “the Beasts of Satan” were an Italian metal band in the nineties.  They are also referred to as a “satanic” cult and were responsible for the murders of 3 known victims. One of the group’s leaders, Nicola Sapone, was charged for his part in the sacrificial slayings for the double homicide of sixteen year old Fabio Tollis and his girlfriend 19 year old Chiara Marino in 1998. Apparently it was a ritual killing out in the woods involving sex and heavy drug use and other characteristics of so-called acid Satanism.

The Guardian reported that Tollis may have been bludgeoned with a hammer while trying to help Marino, who was stabbed to death.  Later, fellow member and friend of Fabio Tollis, Mario Maccione, a self-proclaimed ‘medium’, would admit to being the person behind the hammer.

Tollis’ father had received a call that night from his son, who was out drinking at “The midnight bar”; a rock bar in Milan where like-minded metal fans gathered at on weekends to listen to music. In the call, Tollis told his father that he wouldn’t be coming home and would stay with his girlfriend that night. The call was unusual enough that the concerned parent showed up at the bar to check on his son- by the time he got there, Tollis was nowhere to found. His son would never return home again and was buried in the woods, where Nicola Sapone, Mario Maccione and Andrea Volpe were so delighted with their work that they were dancing on the makeshift grave in the woods, in the small town of Somma Lombardo.

Fabio Tollis’ father rejected claims that the couple had ran off together and continued to independently investigate.  In 2004 27 year old Mariangela Pezzotta  (A former girlfriend of Beasts of Satan member, Andrea Volpe) was shot after the breakup.  The group believed that she knew too much about their unsavory pastimes and decided that it was in their interest to eliminate her. Volpe was sent to do the job and invited Pezzotta out under false pretences. The gunshot was non-fatal and after a panicked phone call to ring leader Nicola Sapone the girl was beaten over the head with a spade and buried alive.

Volpe and his teenage girlfriend were later discovered by police in Pezzotta’s crashed vehicle.They had attempted to destroy the evidence but totaled the car under the influence of cocaine and heroin. They were both addicts- apparently a common theme for members of the Beasts of Satan.

It was said that members of the Beasts of Satan were required to swear in and make a blood pact, preventing them from leaving. To leave would equal death. Andrea Bontade, the drummer of the band, was found dead in his crashed car after consuming excessive amounts of alcohol. Investigators entertain the idea that he was pressured to commit suicide for not involving himself in the murder of his bandmate, Fabio Tollis and Chiara Marino.

A film from 2012 titled “In nomine Satan” is based on these events.

The members of Besti di Satana were charged and sentenced for their crimes.

Christan Frigerio is still missing.
