Thelma Todd, a stunning young american actress was a essential hit in the years 1926-1935. Ms. Todd was most known for her amazing looks and her comedic roles in the films. Momentarily she is remembered by her mystic death. A question now lingers whether her death was accidental, murder or suicide? Ms. Todd was found in her car dead of carbon monoxide poisoning, her death is claimed to be accidental. December 16, 1935 is a date that many of Thelma Todd's fans will never forget. But Thelmas death was neither accidental nor suicide...it was a covered murder scene.
Thelma Todd had fallen inlove with a mobster named Lucky Luciano and with his money, and power he easily convinced Thelma to trust him even with his criminal recerds. Therefore, he slowly began to give the impression that he wanted to marry her. Their relationship seemed to be fine until Lucky told to her that he wanted to put an illegal casino in her restaurant. If this were to happen she will have more customers in her her restaurant meaning more wealthy people, higher radings and more money. But she will indeed owe Lucky a lot. In Luckys mind this was a great investment because those wealthy people well eventually have a huge debt and would lead to not only having the contol of a couople of police officer but to have in control of hollywood. Lucky was very persistant about this investment but Thelma continued to refuse. In Brown Derby restaurant people said they heard Thelma scream at Lucky, "Over my dead body", Lucky replied, "That can be arranged." This could have been a motive for murder. Lucky was in the industry of killing, so to him this could have been a good reason to kill since he would do anything to have the highest power in hollywood.
Another suspect was T...
... middle of paper ...
... evedince that would make him a suspect. The hitman first knocked Thelma out and placed her in her car and turned the engine on knowing that the carbon monoxide will kill Thelma within twenty minutes. By doing all of this Thelmas death would seem like an accident or a suicide but in reality it was murder. Later that Monday she was found by her maid and was declared dead.
Overall, we have very little evidence to say Lucky is the murderer, but lucky had several motives to kill Thelma. Lucky was a prideful man and Thelma made a fool of him. No one could intervene with Lucky`s plans in being in power of hollywood and Thelma simply interfeared with this. Lucky was a man who knew what he wanted and that was money, power and respect and did whatever it tooked to accomplish this. Lucky killed Thelma because she did not let him put the illegal casino in her restaraunt
Natalie Wood’s body was discovered at 8:00 AM in 1981, far away from the yacht. The autopsied fond on Wood’s body bruise and abrasion; moreover, they found in Wood’s blood 0.14% of alcohol, which convey the coroner to say that may Wood has slipped while going to the yacht. Furthermore, the boat had not been used, and Natalie Wood was wearing clothes not for a boat ride. The jacket that she was wearing when she died; did not come off from the water. Also, her clothes were wet and the jacket was heavy, so the jacket pulled her down when she was trying to climb the boat. If she did not wear the heavy jacket, she might be survived. This means that she did not remove the jacket because she was drank, and she was not thinking clearly. When Wood
At around eight thirty AM Queenie Trap, a rather small woman at five feet and six inches and one hundred and ten pounds, left her house after a fight with her husband Arthur Trap. Had she known this was the last time she would see him alive she wouldn’t have left, or maybe she already knew about his untimely demise. Queenie has her motive, her fights with her husband are more than enough, although Queenie is rather small she knew Arthur was drunk.The investigators should rule Arthur’s death as a murder because she had a motive, and although some would say that Queenie’s size means she couldn’t overpower him he was drunk, she also had ten minutes alone with the dead body of Arthur.

Murder was most likely reliably on because someone could have killed her. Most, but not all people thought she died of accidental overdose.
In her memoir, Who Killed My Daughter (1992), author Lois Duncan, asserts that her daughter, Kaitlyn Arquette’s murder was not part of a random shooting, but was murdered by her boyfriend’s Vietnamese gang, in which he was involved in, by suggesting that there was an unknown motive that led to the murder of her youngest daughter.
The tragic situation of Connie relates to the real life chain of murders in Tucson, Arizona. Tom Quirk iterates that Oates seems to get her creative imagination from “real criminal and real crime”, the irony is the story of Connie is sadly all too familiar in society (Quirk 413). The characters of Eddie and Ellie Oscar are figures that are not particularly familiar to readers. The lack of dialogue from these characters tend to neglect their significance, however studying them may actually connect a few dots that Oates purposely leaves for the reader to wonder. The comparison of Eddie and Ellie inclines that they are actually the same person. From research into Ellie’s appearance and mysterious motivation to remain unnoticed by Connie hints at the notion that instead of young teenage boy named Eddie accompanying Connie at the restaurant, it was none other than Ellie disguising himself. Although some find it bizarre that Connie could not see Eddie/Ellie for who he was while spending hours with him, one must take into account that Connie was more into herself rather than the boy she was with. Along with Connie’s natural infatuation with herself, the drive-in restaurant presented distractions such as the bright lights and loud music which aided Eddie/Ellie. The main antagonist Arnold Friend makes various statements and questionable actions that support the theory that Ellie has already encountered Connie at some point in time, thus providing the explanation as to how he knew so much information about
So the court ruled it as a justifiable homicide, it was very public, and soon doubt and speculations appeared. People thought that Lana Turner's daughter was a cover up, that Lana was the one to kill john and not her daughter. People said that she used her daughter to take the fault, because she knew her daughter would get let off easy. Other people had different opinions and doubts, They thought that Crane was in love with john. That lana came home and saw them in bed and in her blind rage and jealousy that she killed him, and made her daughter take the blame. Later in the future Crane would later create a book; Detour: A Hollywood Story. In the book it talked about john sexually abusing her, and she said she blacked out when he got killed. She did not remember picking up the knife, thus the reason for the doubts and speculations that arise. Also the fact that he "walked into the knife" many people especially his son thought that it was all a cover up, that she killed him in cold blood. Even to this day, there are still speculations on the crime that shook the
The boy, John Smith, is in his early twenties. He became the youngest police detective in the State. He wanted to believe in justice. That there was still some good left in this world. But, again and again he watched as rich get richer. As criminals were released on technicalities. One day John Smith arrested an extremely dangerous drug kingpin, Rick Rossetti. The whole case relied on a testimony of an 18 years old girl, Maria Hernandez. Maria Hernandez was placed in a safe house before the trial. There was a leak in the district's attorney's office. One day before the trial Maria Hernandez was found dead together with two sheriff's protecting her. Her throat was cut, and her tongue was cut out. On the day of the trial Rick Rossetti was released due to the insufficient evidence. That was the day when John Smith realized what he had to do. What he had to become. Three weeks later Rick Rossetti was found dead at his Miami Beach penthouse. His head was separated from his body, and placed inside the Fireplace. On top of the fireplace there was one word written in blood, "Cerberus". Over the next year several other abusers, rapists, murderers were found dead. With one simple word left as a clue, "Cerberus". Perhaps it wasn't a clue at all. It was a warning to all of scum in this world. Beware, the hell-hound is coming to drag you to hell. Since then, crime started to declined significantly in the United
Yesterday, at 5 p.m., Mrs. Louise Mallard’s immediate emotions of enjoyment from seeing her husband alive, who was thought to be dead, lead to a heart attack, confronting her with death.
Moseley is an extremely heartless person to be around society again. Moseley isn't only a killer, but he is also mentally insane, and a mugger. He told cops that he was responsible for three murder, the death of Kitty Genovese, Annie Mae Johnson, and Barbara Kralik. There was no enough evidence or proof of killing Barbara Kralik, but moseley insisted that he killed her too, while there was another person in prison named Alvin a gang member for killing Barbara Kralik, which was contradictory to Mosley's case. Annie Mae was found dead, but her case was stated that she was killed by some sort of skrewdriver, and nobody took responsibility for her death. Later on Mosley divulge that he killed her. And told the cops he shot her six times in the stomach. after that the body was dig out from the cemetery in Monck’s Corner South Carolina. They did a second postmortem by using X-ray equipment borrowed from South Carolina medical college in Charleston. The laboratory outcome was precisely as Mosley reported, and this made moseley’s statement accurate and gave him credibility. (Mark Gado,3), Later on Moseley was found guilty of murder by the court and sentenced to death, but the court changed its mind, because it stated that Mosley was mentally psychotic, and sentenced for life in prison.(Gado
Those two heirs were Turtle Wexler and Judge Ford. Judge Ford thought this already and she figured out that Turtle thought the same when she was interviewing her about the fireworks. Turtle, then, had said that when she found the body in the Westing house, it looked like a wax dummy and not a real life dead body. J.J, earlier during the reading of the will, had thought the same thing, that the body did not look real. Following up on that fact, always if someone is murdered, especially someone of that importance, an autopsy is performed to figure out the murderer. This ALWAYS happens, the police should have been all over the case. But, the body did not get an autopsy, even the Judge thought it was not unlawful to have an autopsy, and the only reason the cops came was because of the bomb cases, but those came later. So, since the autopsy didn’t happen, the body must be fake!
The killer that we believe committed the murder was none other than Charlotte Shelby. She did certainly have the means because she had a .38 caliber which was the basically the same as the gun William Taylor was killed with. Her motives were that she was jealous of her daughter which was currently in some sort of relationship with William. She was in jealousy because she offered herself to him before but he rejected her. She also is afraid that if her daughter does marry him, then she will leave and won’t be able to support her, with her money.She had the opportunity as well. She lived in the same neighborhood as William Taylor, giving her the perfect opportunity to
