June 19th: Willi Walter Seifert Born (1921)

With the death of the accused we oftentimes lose the chance to hear their motive. On June 19th 1921 a man was born who would take out his long brewing revenge upon a school that had nothing to do with the pitfalls of his life. A man with a motive we will never understand.

June 18th: Typhaine Case Reported Missing (2009)

June 16th: George Stinney Executed (Mary Thames and Betty Binnicker)(1944)

Racism has been playing a role in crime for longer than we would care to admit. On June 16th 1944 a young boy was put to death for a crime that, depending on what side you land on, was either a gross miscarriage of justice or a biased trial of a guilty individual.
