March 21st: Darren Deon Vann Born (1971)

Sometimes, police officers need to reach out and accept help from an outside source. In 2010, a reporter contacted local police with some troubling news. According to an algorithm he used, he believed that there was a serial killer operating in Gary, Indiana from 1980 to 2008. They dismissed his claims. Little did they know that just 4 years later they would be arresting a man, born on March 21st 1971, in connection to a single murder. A man who would go on to confess his involvement in 6 other murders, making him the serial killer they were warned about.

When you see those in need, you feel compelled to help. In 1998, the citizens of La Habra, Texas took pity on an Egyptian immigrant who showed up after being granted religious asylum. The man, who only had one arm and was unable to work to support himself, was shown kindness by a neighborhood of well-doers and given a place to stay. Then, he thanked them by, just after March 17th 1998, placing concrete slabs on various yards within the neighborhood. Slabs that, once opened, contained horror no one could have expected.

A man who would take a group of people, and their sexual preferences, and exploit them to fulfill his New Years Resolution; to kill a human being. March 16th: Colin Ireland Born (1954)
