begged for reconciliation one September Day in 2018 Javier called Valeria with a strange story allegedly he had accidentally used her bank card to pay for something online now he desperately needed to meet her and return the money but valyria immediately suspected a trick most likely it was just an excuse to see him again she checked with her friend and asked her to deal with Javier herself so that

breathed a sigh of relief she could finally return to her normal life full of small Joys and exciting plans for the future but she had no idea that the worst was yet to come on January 24th 2019 a strange incident occurred Javier wrote to an old friend of his that he had caught Valaria in bed with another man this message message caused the girl surprise and indignation because it could not be true she and Javier had long since broken up and had no contact with each other in addition valyria had been dating another guy all this time so why would Javier make up such a strange story January 27th was a very joyful day for valyria she and her family were celebrating her father’s birthday nothing seemed to portend trouble but the next evening when she returned home after her shift of at the bookstore she called her mother in a state of near hysteria she was sobbing and screaming into the phone that someone was trying to kill her Valeria admitted that she had been suffering from obsessive anxiety for several days and constantly felt someone’s ominous presence the news of the brutal murders of women in their own homes made her paranoid the girl no longer felt safe in her apartment trying to calm her daughter down her mother asked her if she was afraid of anyone in particular but valyria could not answer anything she just kept sobbing into the phone after a long conversation the girl seemed to calm down a bit they agreed that the next day the mother would come to her and stay until her daughter felt better before going to bed Valaria sent her mother a message that she had calmed down and was going to sleep she had no idea that these words would be her last to her family the next morning January 29th the worried mother waited in vain for a call from her daughter numerous attempts to call Valeria’s cell phone were unsuccessful after several Rings the phone went to voicemail around noon the worried woman decided to go to her daughter’s apartment and make sure she was okay at work at the bookstore valyria was also waited on in vain usually punctual and diligent this time she did not show up for her shift and did not inform anyone of her absence this had never happened before because she valued her position and the team she had been working with for about 2 years ears the bewildered manager tried to call Valaria but to no avail the phone was turned off anxiety quickly spread throughout the family Valeria didn’t show up for the dinner she had been looking forward to and planning since yesterday her family dialed her number again and again but encountered a deafening wall of Silence recalling the recent disturbing conversation they felt the icy fingers of fear squeezing their hearts on the morning of January 30th it became clear that the family could not cope alone they went to the police and filed a report on Valeria’s disappearance the investigator’s first suspect was Valeria’s ex-boyfriend Javier whose Sinister intentions the family immediately informed them of a thorough inspection of the girl’s apartment did not yield any significant Clues there were no signs of a struggle or hints that Valaria had been taken away by force the only unusual detail was small blood stains on the pillowcase in the bathroom however the police decided that it could have been a simple cut or nose bed Law Enforcement Officers immediately began searching for the missing woman after contacting her mobile operator they learned that Valeria’s phone had been switched to airplane mode on the night of January 28th at about 3: in the morning it has not been turned on since then but the most disturbing fact was the information that someone had accessed her cloud storage and thoroughly studied all her photos videos and messages it seemed that the criminal was trying to find the information he needed another disturbing detail is that at 5:00 a.m. on January 29th 2 hours after the phone was turned off someone withdrew $1,000 from Valeria’s bank account surveillance cameras captured a man driving up to the ATM in a black Honda quickly taking the money and disappearing Valeria herself was not seen in the vicinity using the car’s license plate number Law Enforcement Officers quickly determined that the car belonged to Javier the same ex-boyfriend that the missing girl mother had immediately identified he was automatically included in the list of prime suspects during the search of Javier’s house no direct evidence of his involvement in Valeria’s disappearance was found however surveillance footage showed that on the evening of January 28th he left his home in a black Honda and headed to his ex-girlfriend’s place of residence investigators personally checked Valeria’s phone there had been no incoming calls or messages from Javier in recent months obviously the girl had not invited him or arranged a meeting so what was he doing there at night Uninvited even more suspicious was Javier’s strange Behavior immediately after these events he turned off his phone so that his movements could not be tracked at 6:00 a.m. his cell phone turned on briefly near Harrison Connecticut at 7:30 the device was detected in Greenwich it was only at 9:43 that Javier returned home to Queens which was confirmed by cameras near his home he came home and different clothes than he had worn in the evening Javier brought a small duffel bag with him which he carried into the house and left without it a few minutes later all of this was very disturbing to the detectives later investigators found out another interesting detail on the eve of Valeria’s disappearance Javier posted an old photo of them together on Instagram why did he do this maybe he wanted to show everyone that they were still together or was it a hint to someone while the police were gradually making progress in their investigation Valeria’s family and friends kept trying to find the girl on their own they put up posters with her photo asked all their friends and passers by if anyone had seen her and checked all the places she usually visited however none of the leads led to a result a week passed in anxious anticipation sleepless nights followed by exhausting searches and then on February 5th an unexpected breakthrough occurred Road workers spotted the same red luggage case which immediately LED them to their worst suspicions when they opened it what they saw made them immediately call the police inside the case was the mutilated body of a young woman her hands and feet were tightly tied with rope her mouth was sealed with a thick layer of duct tape her light shirt was torn and her jeans were torn and soiled the girl was not wearing shoes the attention was drawn to the terrible wound on her head which had recently been oozing blood the forensic team quickly identified the deceased as as Valeria Reyes who had gone missing the day before her parents recognized their beloved daughter despite the terrible state of her body during the autopsy the gruesome details of the murder came to light before her death the girl was hit hard on the head with a blunt object and then while still alive she was stuffed into a suitcase and left to Die the last moments of Valeria’s life locked in a cramped space were filled with unbearable pain and despair she died slowly painfully from lack of oxygen all the evidence pointed to Javier D Silva’s involvement in this brutal murder however it was not easy to prove his guilt the only direct evidence was Valeria’s bank card found in his wallet during interrogation the suspect gave an extremely dubious version of events he claimed that he had accidentally found the card and the girl’s identification documents in a bar this sounded implausible and raised even more questions the investigators presented Javier with all the information they had gathered surveillance footage details about his car and the movement of his phone that fateful night they assured him that they knew about his presence in Valeria’s apartment then the suspect changed his story he admitted that he had been very drunk that night and could indeed have come to Valeria’s place but he did not remember anything however when the detective showed him a photo of his ex-girlfriend’s mutilated body in a suitcase Javier broke down he confessed and burst into tears he began to try to justify himself in a confused and incoherent manner according to his version he came to Valeria’s house that night at her invitation they had consensual sex albeit in a rough way but at some point the girl fell and HIIT her head on the floor losing Consciousness Javier insisted that he tried to help his beloved he performed artificial respiration and heart massage but it was all in vain afraid that he might be accused of murder he tried to hide the traces of the crime he tied Valeria up taped her mouth shut put her in a suitcase and took her out of town according to him he did all this in a state of passion not realizing what he was doing when the investigators asked why he had to tie and tape the mouth of a motionless possibly dead girl Javier could not answer then he began to tell a completely unbelievable story he claimed that he had deliberately used Valeria’s card and car to get into the police’s sits as quickly as possible in his opinion this would have made the investigation easier Javier then spent another $4,350 from the victim’s account during the searches of the suspect’s apartment the police found Valeria’s phone and laptop which he managed to take away initially Javier tried to destroy these things by throwing them into the river but then for some reason he returned and retrieved them thanks to the victim’s fingerprints he was able to access Valeria’s cloud storage and an app that showed the balance on her card for investigators the whole story sounded extremely implausible and contradictory there were too many unconvincing coincidences and inconsistencies they immediately suspected Javier of premeditated pre-planned murder of Valaria and the available evidence only confirmed his guilt in the end the suspect’s version of the case finally fell apart after a thorough examination of the body it showed signs of struggle and violence blood and DNA of the killer were found under the girl’s nails on her skin and clothes Javier’s fingerprints were found on Valeria’s neck and chest his genetic material was everywhere on the suitcase in the car on the victim’s belongings it became clear that he had committed this heinous crime in a thoughtful and consistent manner the suspect was immediately arrested and officially charged with the brutal murder of 24-year-old Valeria Reyes under the pressure of overwhelming evidence Javier Da Silva eventually pleaded guilty in court on February 5th 2020 a her in was held in the case of the premeditated murder of Valeria Rees in his speech the prosecutor drew the jury’s attention to the defendant’s thoughtful consistent actions how he closely followed the victim’s every move obsessively pursued her and then brutally murdered her during the court hearing Javier had to listen to many angry accusations from Valeria’s grieving family her mother’s speech was particularly emotional she could not hold back her tears and could barely speak through her sobs she called her daughter’s murderer a real monster selfish heartless and cruel Javier’s lawyers tried to justify his actions as a sudden Outburst of anger and jealousy they talked about the defendant’s difficult childhood his depressive state after breaking up with Valaria and his drug use shortly before the tragedy they claimed that all this affected his emotional state and pushed him to make the Fatal decision they even read out several letters from former friends from Venezuela who characterized Javier as a sensitive and DEC guy who had simply lost his way but these attempts did not affect the jury’s opinion at all on September 3rd 2021 the court handed down a sentence of 30 years in prison for 28-year-old Javier D Silva this actually meant spending most of his life behind bars in addition as it turned out during the investigation the defendant was in the United States illegally he entered the country on May 8th 2017 under a Visa waiver program however his 90-day stay expired on August 5th of the same year Javier ignored this requirement and continued to stay in the United States in violation of the law therefore after serving his 30-year sentence he will be immediately deported to his home country Venezuela and there he will probably face another trial Valeria reyes’s death came as a real shock to her family they had no idea that a simple acquaintance on social media could lead to such a terrible tragedy this high-profile case has made many people think about the danger of virtual relationships and the threats that lurk in the real world Valeria will forever be remembered by her family as a bright cheerful and devoted girl whose life ended too soon and too cruy I hope this story has not left anyone indifferent let the case of Valeria Reyes be a warning to each of us be careful don’t trust strangers and don’t hesitate to ask for help if you feel threatened take care of yourself and your loved ones ardeth wood an attractive 27-year-old was not only beautiful but also extremely intelligent she was on her way to earning a doctorate in philosophy at the University of waterl while also working as an editor for a philosophy Journal ardath’s dream of becoming a professor was about to come true when the summer of 2003 arrived ardeth decided to spend her vacation visiting her family in Ottawa Canada she spent a wonderful time with her family going out together and cooking at home on the morning of August 6th the young woman went for a run when she returned her caring parents were waiting for her with a delicious dessert for breakfast on that warm and sunny day arette wanted to go for a bike ride her brother kindly let her borrow his bike she promised to return in a couple of hours her mother was planning to go shopping that day before lunch waiting for her daughter to return from her ride ardeth liked to ride her bike along a Scenic path through the forest past a river in rocks this path was popular with local cyclists it was usually peaceful and safe but not this time ardet 27 never returned home her mother became worried and soon a heavy downpour began the woman realized that her daughter would not ride her bike in such bad weather but time passed and she did not return the family went in search of her thinking that she might have fallen off her bike and needed help the the bike trails stretched all over the city and they didn’t know which direction our debt had gone this time so her family looked everywhere their efforts were in vain and when it got dark they turned to the police the search was postponed until morning due to bad weather a large scale search the next day there was no news about our debt one of the largest search operations in ottawa’s history was launched it involved Rescuers police Dog Handlers and helicopters in total about a thousand people were involved including numerous volunteers ett’s family actively joined the search posting advertisements with the girls photo throughout the city however the first few days brought no progress the police appealed to the public for help soon they received a call from a local resident she said that on the day of ett’s disappearance she was in the forest on a bike trail and saw a suspicious man with a bicycle the witness described him as a young Pleasant looking man well-dressed but he behaved extremely suspiciously his behavior was frightening it turned out that the stranger tried to push her off the bike and drag her into the bushes luckily other people appeared on the trail and the offender fell behind while she managed to quickly Escape after this incident she no longer felt safe walking and stopped riding alone according to her it happened in an area called Green Creek she suggested that a stranger could have also attacked our death the witness was invited to the police station to make a composite sketch of the suspect she described him as a young man in his 20s or 30s light-skinned darkhaired with a beard and glasses with a pleasant appearance and athletic build the portrait was shown to AR Dead’s family but they did not recognize anyone familiar to the girl at that time many men wore similar glasses and beards so suspicion could fall on anyone the police decided not to publish the portrait in the media fearing a wave of false calls Law Enforcement Officers constantly asked local residents for help showing our Dead’s photo they were convinced that such a bright beautiful girl with a memorable appearance could not have been overlooked someone must have seen her and could have provided a clue this assumption turned out to be correct 16-year-old Laura called the police she said that on the day she disappeared she had seen ardeth on a bike path while riding by on her bike the missing woman was sitting on a rock as if resting as Laura rode on she heard a scream and when she looked back she saw ardet arguing with a man Laura didn’t know what to think perhaps it was just a quarrel between lovers ardet didn’t call for help and then went into the forest with the man Laura wanted to know what was going on but she was afraid seeing a thunderstorm approaching the 16-year-old witness hurried home while walking she seemed to hear another Scream the police received several other calls from girls who had encountered this horrible man on the trail he attacked them but the victims were lucky to escape one call from a woman stood out in particular she described how an attractive stranger approached her while she was walking they had a pleasant conversation but suddenly his behavior changed dramatically the man started grabbing her but the woman managed to push the attacker away with her bicycle and quickly ran away she did not even look back fearing that he would catch up with her when she returned home she told her family about the incident and warned them to stay away from the area surprisingly none of the girls who were attacked reported the incident to the police the search for ardet centered around the area near the creek her bicycle was soon found indicating that the police were on the right track in the meantime investigators received another call that was a breakthrough in the case a man who did not give his name reported an unpleasant an incident in the forest allegedly a terrible accident allegedly he did not want to harm our debt or take her life confused he decided to get rid of the body The Stranger carried the girl across the stream dug a shallow hole and buried her there covering the grave with branches then he hung up the phone the police managed to trace the call it came from a phone booth 20 minutes outside of Ottawa Law Enforcement Officers rushed there hoping to find witnesses or lift fingerprints or DNA from the handset but they were disappointed someone had thoroughly wiped the handset clean no Witnesses or video surveillance could be found the search for our death continued near Green Creek dogs trained to detect the scent of corpses arrived soon the worst fears of the family and the police were confirmed with the help of the dogs they managed to find the grave of the missing woman between two trees in a quiet picturesque spot approaching the detective saw the girl’s half buried naked body probably the criminal was frightened by someone which is why he buried the victim so carelessly criminologists began to examine the crime scene but unfortunately they found no evidence no fingerprints no DNA the medical examiner confirmed that it was ardeth wood she had suffered a horrible agonizing death that did not look like an accident contrary to what the stranger told the police the cause of death was drowning algae was found in her lungs which means that she was still alive when she was in the water despite the fact that the body was found naked forensic experts did not find any clear signs of rape although they did not rule it out the police believed that the crime was sexually motivated in their opinion The Stranger was hunting for girls in a remote location for this purpose otherwise what could have driven him detectives urgently needed to catch the criminal to prevent new victims they were convinced that he had already attacked several girls and killed one how far could the maniac go the police decided to publish a composite portrait of the suspect in the media asking the public for help in identifying him investigators received about 4,000 tips and began to process them which took a lot of time on September 10th the police released important information about the suspect it turned out that the girls who had seen the stranger in the forest had noticed one detail he had a tattoo of an eagle on his left shoulder it was a crucial clue that could help track down the criminal the media published a sketch of the tattoo after which the police received several calls people reported people they knew with bird tattoos on their faces necks or backs however this information LED nowhere in April 2004 while processing another batch of calls investigators came across an important clue a man claimed to know the killer this man lived in the neighborhood and was riding his bike near Green Creek at the time of the murder detectives were interested in this information and invited this suspect to talk to them when the man walked into the police station investigators were impressed he matched the description of the perpetrator both in appearance and age during the conversation he was visibly nervous the man said he often cycled on that path not realizing what the problem was when the police asked him to show them his shoulder they found a tattoo of an eagle it turned out that the man had a history of trouble with the law he became the main suspect the interrogation lasted 3 hours all this time the suspect was answering questions aggressively and defiantly he said about himself I am like a scorpion under a stone you never know what I will do the suspect had no alibi but could not explain what he was doing on the day ARB disappeared however he denied any involvement in the girl’s murder the evidence against him was insufficient so the suspect was released but placed under round the-clock surveillance a few weeks later he was summoned for questioning again the detectives gathered a lot of information about him and carefully prepared the questions they also offered the man to take a polygraph test the suspect agreed and easily passed all the tests the police couldn’t believe it but were forced to let him go to remove all suspicions the investigation came to a standstill the Ottawa Police announced a $50,000 reward for any information information leading to the case it was the largest amount that law enforcement had ever offered in such circumstances soon about 5,000 calls came in with tips which the police began to check one piece of information mentioned the name of Christopher Myers which attracted the attention of investigators it turned out that he had previous convictions for selling illegal substances colleagues describ 25-year-old Chris as a quiet unassuming and even unremarkable guy who worked as a janitor his face was strikingly similar to the composite portrait of the suspect moreover he had the same beard the police were excited thinking they had finally found the man they were looking for but it turned out that Christopher had an alibi for the day arde disappeared the landl of the apartment he was renting claimed that on August 6th 2003 the young man was at home in the morning and then went to work at a restaurant this surprised the police because A year had already passed how could this woman remember the details of that day so clearly another problem arose Christopher did not have an eagle tattoo on his shoulder although Witnesses insisted that they had seen it on him it was possible that he had removed it detectives were convinced that this was the man they were looking for and had to prove it a few weeks later another similar attack took place chapter 6 bloody crimes in the evening a girl who looked very much like ardet was walking alone across the bridge when she heard someone following her she looked back and saw an attractive man on a bicycle the girl had no intention of introducing herself or talking to him she asked him to leave her alone the man rode past her and she breathed a sigh of relief but the stranger turned his bike around and ran right at her no one was around to help the attacker jumped off the bike and dragged the victim into the bushes the girl was screaming very loudly which seemed to scare the attacker he ran away the victim went to the police other investigators took up the case everyone believed it was an attempted robbery and the detectives investigating ett’s disappearance learned about the incident much later in May there was another attack on a tall blonde woman who looked like the missing person the girl was returning from a party late at night when a stranger approached her and tried to strike up a conversation she asked him to leave her alone then he started asking for help claiming to be lost the girl explained where to go and he left she breathed a sigh of relief but literally 10 minutes later he attacked her from the bushes the attacker violently began to strangle her twisting her neck at that moment the girl thought it was over but she continued to resist screaming hitting him biting him her screams attracted the attention of the residents of the house who came out to see what was happening this scared the perpetrator and he ran away but this time he made a serious mistake in his haste he dropped his phone investigators found that the cell phone belonged to Christopher Meyers whom they suspected of ardath’s murder everything fell into place Chris committed all these similar crimes he chose girls of similar appearance blondes and attacked them Christopher was summoned for questioning but he was in no hurry to confess to the murder he claimed that he had never been to Green Creek had never seen our death and was not involved in the other attacks Chris complained of mental health problems and uncontrollable aggression but insisted that he had not physically harmed anyone the detectives noticed that he had a Crooked Tooth and convinced him to take a polygraph test the test lasted 5 hours and Chris failed miserably but despite this he continued to insist on his innocence saying that the polygraph was wrong since the lie detector results were not considered evidence the suspect had to be released for the next 5 months detectives gathered evidence against him by questioning everyone who knew Christopher relatives friends colleagues and his ex-girlfriend it turned out that Christopher was born into a dysfunctional family of Alcoholics his difficult childhood was accompanied by the development of various mental disorders attention deficit disorder and skitso disorder Chris was taken away from his biological parents and adopted by another couple the adoptive parents treated the boy with love but he was uncontrollable they could not cope with raising a problem child and returned him to the orphanage when Chris turned 12 as he Grew Older he seemed to become a regular normal boy Christopher graduated from high school went to University hung out with friends and lived in a dormatory but his roommate thought Chris was not normal he told horrible stories that scared her eventually she kicked him out of the room his ex-girlfriend revealed his biggest secret Christopher loved temporary tattoos for a while he had an exact tattoo of an eagle on his left shoulder the girl was shown a sketch of the tattoo and she confirmed that he had one on his left shoulder Christopher was summoned for interrogation on October 13th 2015 he was placed in a very cramped interrogation room this time the interrogation was conducted by harsh men who Moved their chairs close to him all this put enormous psychological pressure on the suspect the investigator started with simple words we know everything about you Chris we know that you killed our death Christopher answered evasively 3 hours later he began to testify confused and incoherent Chris admitted that he had been in green Creek that day and met our death impressed by her beauty he decided to get to know her he started complimenting her making small talk and then invited her into the woods and she accepted once there Christopher started hugging and kissing her showing the investigators how and then according to him it was over ardath pulled away from him it seems she did not like his manners she ran away but fell into a stream Christopher tried to save the girl but failed he wanted to portray himself as a hero but his subsequent actions were completely inconsistent with this for some reason he pulled ardath’s body out of the water undressed it and buried it when the investigator said that Chris would be charged with murder he immediately recanted his words no I never met her it was a joke I got all the information from the newspapers the detective had to have a serious talk with him in private eventually Chris confessed to ard’s murder he even drew a map of the trails in green Creek where he met the girl on it he marked another person probably 16-year-old Laura who had seen him with the victim in the woods Laura recognized the suspect as the same person she had seen at the time Christopher was arrested on October 20th 2005 he agreed to go to the crime scene to reconstruct the events but when they arrived at the designated Trail Christopher suddenly claimed that it was the wrong place claiming that everything happened somewhere else even though everything matched Christopher had an unstable psyche he would give testimony and then recant it later he also admitted his involvement in other attacks on the girls he was charged with additional crimes in these cases at the trial his lawyer stated that Christopher was just a troubled young man initially the defendant denied his previous confession but later on the advice of his lawyer he decided to make a deal with the investigation and plead guilty on January 8th 2008 5 years after the murder the defendant pleaded guilty to the crime but refused to disclose motives and details later he also admitted to other attacks the prosecution believed that it was no accident that Chris appeared on the forest path that day he was stalking his victim like a hunter he attacked several girls who were lucky enough to escape the likely motive was sexual violence ardeth was not lucky that day she was Chris’s type an attractive blonde he tried to get to know her but something went wrong and a quarrel broke out between them which was overheard by a 16-year-old girl who was passing by on her bicycle under some pretext the criminal managed to lure our dead into the forest there he attacked her and began to undress her intending to rape her to escape the girl ran away and jumped into a stream Chris rushed after her caught up with her and drowned her then buried her body the victim’s parents agreed with the prosecution’s version of events in their opinion Ard was a good swimmer and could not have drowned in the creek in their opinion the defendant deliberately drowned the girl however it remained a mystery to them how Christopher managed to persuade our dead to go with him into the forest according to the agreement ment with the investigation Christopher pleaded guilty to Second deegree murder he was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole only after 10 years of serving his sentence in 2020 he filed a petition for parole but the commission rejected it recognizing the high risk of reoffending against women in 2007 a plaque in arde’s honor was installed on one of the centuries Old Oaks in green Creek Park and in 2017 during a powerful thunderstor storm similar to the one that occurred on the day of her murder lightning struck the same tree the oak was severely damaged and experts did not believe it would survive but a miracle happened the mighty tree survived it still

arriving in Bangkok the girl went on an Excursion to pataya in the southeast of the country not far from which the mysterious island of coang is located on Sunday April 7th 2019 26-year-old Miriam belt bought a fery ticket and headed directly to the island planning to spend a few hours there and returned to pataya in the evening after an exciting program of activities her plans were simple to taste the delicious local her plans were simple to try the delicious local seafood visit the ancient temples dotted around the island and soak up the coastal atmosphere and enjoy the seab breeze around noon Miriam arrived in coachin and immediately rented a motorcycle one of the most popular forms of transportation in Thailand she planned her route in advance using Google Maps and set off to see the sites among the location she chose was a white Stone Temple located on top of a hill this Shrine is known for the Buddhist footprint and is considered very important to Buddhists the temple is located in a picturesque corner of the island and the hilltop offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding scenery Miriam likes such quiet places where she could enjoy spiritual and cultural sites alone without the noisy crowds of tourists however she could not even imagine the terrible fate that befell her in this seemingly peaceful and gracious Place having reached the desired location Miriam left her rented motorcycle at the foot of the Hill nodded affably to the flower vendor and headed up the stone steps to the temple to get to the shrine it was necessary to overcome a rather Steep and tiring section which only physically fit people could do do a CCTV camera recorded the girl climbing the stone steps to the monument usually it takes about 5 minutes to get there and back Miriam reached the temple but no one else saw her alive this seemed strange because the stone steps were the only way back down the hill there were simply no other entrances or paths Miriam’s rented motorcycle was still parked at the foot of the Hill next to the flower stand despite all the beauty of the temple there were no other interesting places on the top of the hill worthy of staying there for a long time the main question was why the girl had stayed there for so long and why she hadn’t returned traveling alone Miriam often dropped out of social media for several hours completely immersed in reality however when the day turned into night on April 7th and she still did not get in touch her family and friends in Germany began to worry fearing that something bad might have happened to her the next morning on Monday April 8th a young Thai tourist decided to walk along a remote path leading to a white Stone Temple with a Buddha’s footprint halfway up The Path he noticed a small crevice on the side of the stairs that caught his eye because of its unusual shape approaching it he was horrified to find the body of a young woman with fair skin she was dead lying between two huge Boulders in a pool of her own blood the body was covered with old branches leaves and other debris The Tourist immediately reported the gruesome Discovery to law enforcement investigators soon arrived at the scene the deceased was a German woman Miriam belt who had disappeared the day before after examining the girl’s body the police concluded that her death was not accidental she couldn’t have slipped fallen into the gorge and died Miriam was not wearing any clothes one of her legs was broken and numerous injuries were visible on her head and face as if caused by a heavy blunt object such as a brick or stone unfortunately it soon became clear that she had also been raped before her death however what exactly happened to the tourist remained a mystery at the time the Whit Stone Buddha temple had only one entrance and exit which were monitored by video surveillance cameras it was they who recorded Miriam climbing the hill it soon became clear that a young man was following the girl up the stairs and he immediately became one of the main suspects the video footage showed the man arriving at the bottom of the hill on a motorcycle and parking he then briefly talked to a flower doll Celler and bought a small bouquet of dollas from him after that the stranger walked back to the temple the flower Celler saw the young man walk quickly after Miriam and sometime later the same stranger returned from the stairs with traces of something light on his dark clothes looking like dirt or possibly blood the man asked the suspicious visitor if he was okay to which he waved his hand and replied that he had just Fallen the shopkeeper immediately became suspicious so he tried to me mized the unconscious young man’s appearance and wrote down the make and license plate of his motorcycle just in case and it was not in vain because after Miriam belt’s body was discovered the florist passed all the information he had gathered to the police investigators soon found out that the motorcycle was registered in the name of a 24-year-old local man ricorn Roman ricorn was an indigenous resident of the island of Cochabamba the young man lived alone had a small boat business and a motorcycle he worked as a garbage collector on the beaches during the day he traveled around the coast by boat collecting garbage from the water and also cleaned the area on the shore ricorn was described by his fellow villagers as a quiet and calm guy who preferred Solitude after work he usually returned home turned on the TV and enjoyed a beer it seemed that the 24 year old’s life was typical for his age however few people knew that ricorn had dark secrets of his own which he carefully concealed the young man suffered from a serious drug addiction and regularly used illegal substances rarely Being Sober the day after the murder of Miriam belt when ricorn romen returned home from work in the evening he was detained and arrested the suspect was taken to the police station for interrogation and within hours he confessed to everything the case of the German tourist murder was solved within 24 hours of her death racorn said that on the morning morning of April 7th a Sunday he woke up and instead of having breakfast he drank two beers and two glasses of hard liquor but this was not enough for the guy he was drawn to drugs he took another dose got on his motorcycle and went for a ride around the island his ride ended at the foot of the temple Mountain where he first saw Miriam climbing the stone steps it was then that the unkind thought of the fair skinned Beauty flashed into Ron aorn’s gloomy mind his drunken imagination Drew ugly pictures and he decided to act noticing a flower stand nearby the young man bought a small bouquet of delas hoping that an attractive stranger would appreciate his gallantry with flowers in hand he began to climb the stairs after Miriam catching up with her ricorn tried to strike up a conversation the girl felt uncomfortable when the stranger gave her the flowers and then proposed a Shameless act right on the hillside before reaching the temple Miriam refused she found herself alone with the Stranger in a deserted place and he asked her frankly inappropriate questions the frightened girl had no choice but to turn around and run away ricorn however was not about to take no for an answer and ran after her in a moment he caught up with his victim grabbed her and dragged her into the bushes Miriam screamed and struggled with all her might but no one could hear her or come to her Aid I will not describe all the horrific details of this crime I will only say that when the rapist finished his heinous deed m managed to escape from his grasp she ran down the hill trying to get away from this monster as quickly as possible then another evil thought flashed into Ron aorn’s gloomy head to catch up with the girl and kill her otherwise she would escape and he would be imprisoned jumping to his feet and tearing off his clothes he ran after her with all his might unfortunately Miriam slipped on the way down and injured her leg panicked and terrified ricorn caught up with her grabbed a huge rock that was lying near nearby and began to beat her over the head Miriam died on the spot from her injuries Ron aorn’s only mistake was trying to hide the body he dragged the dead girl up the slope threw her between Boulders and lightly covered her with old leaves branches and debris however the corpse was still visible right from the stairs leading to the temple so the next morning Miriam was found by a tii tourist heading to the top of the hill after committing the crime ricorn returned home immediately washed his bloody clothes and then collapsed on the couch turned on the TV and smoked a pack of xabat cigarettes it was his last evening at large as it hadn’t even been a day since he had been arrested after confessing to everything he took part in the Reconstruction of the crime describing in detail the last minutes of Miriam belt’s life during the investigative experiment the suspect’s head was covered with a bag to hide his identity from crying eyes Thai authorities closely monitored the investigation 3 months after the tragedy the trial began the main evidence of Ron aorn’s guilt was CCTV footage the testimony of a flower seller and his own confession the young man never apologized for his actions but his mother apologized in court on behalf of her son the woman said that she and Rona corn lived separately and she had no idea what her son was doing her son’s actions shocked her to the core the woman said that she and ricorn were separated and she had no idea what her son was doing her son’s action shocked her to the core and she urged the court to punish him to the fullest extent of the law the highest penalty for murder in Thailand is the death penalty Ron aorn’s mother admitted that she was afraid to let her son go free because he might repeat his heinous crime and take someone else’s life the woman suggested that he be sentenced to life imprisonment or even execution ricorn Raman pleaded guilty to the murder of Miriam belt he was sentenced to death by hanging for this brutal and heinous crime it is known that the murderer is still on death row awaiting the day of his execution residents of Koken Island were shocked and stunned by the news of the death of the 26-year-old German tourist Thailand is generally considered to be a very peaceful country so the fact that a local resident behaved so cruy and disrespectfully with a visitor was truly horrifying such an atrocity has never happened on coachin before so the Islanders hope that this story will not affect their future lives and will not scare tourists away from visiting the island the community of coacha bambba rallied to express condolences to the victim’s family people of all ages and professions came to the place where Miriam’s body was found bringing candles flowers and wreaths crying and praying for the murdered girl expressing their condolences to her family it is no secret that Thailand’s Financial well-being is largely dependent on the tourism industry negative incidents of this kind can cause serious damage to the financial situation of the entire country that is why the Thai authorities always try to solve crimes committed against foreigners as soon as possible However unfortunately there are often cases when information about such tragedies is simply hushed up and not allowed to be released to the Press after Ron aorn’s sentencing local police assured that there were no more villains on coachin and only polite and friendly people lived there residents of the Island urged tourists not to be afraid to come here despite the fact that kochab Bamba’s reputation has suffered somewhat of course this is nothing compared to the extent to which Miriam and her family have suffered Miriam belt was a bright young woman who was just starting out in life she was an exemplary worker with great plans for the future which unfortunately were never realized a typical suburb appeared in a horrifying way with blood that chilled the soul and the walls were painted with it finally there was the imprint of a small child’s hand as if someone had drawn a terrifying curtain for a horrific performance it was this ugly picture that Jennifer O’Brien found when she came to her parents house to pick up her son Nathan the case seemed so disgusting and gruesome that many people found it hard to accept it as reality however it did happen and the whole country followed the investigation closely the story took place in Park Hill a quiet neighborhood in Calgary Canada known for its peacefulness and friendly residence Park Hill is a picturesque place with neat houses trees lining the streets well-developed infrastructure parks and a welcoming atmosphere there was an aura of Tranquility that made the neighborhood desirable for many families these features attracted the likeness Family Alvin lickes a 66-year-old beloved grandfather and father was a respected figure in his family and at work he was looking forward to a new chapter in his life after retirement his wife Kya 53 was the family’s backbone a devoted wife and the closest friend of his daughter her caring nature created a Cozy home for the family they lived in Park Hill for many years but decided to purchase a smaller home in Edmonton Alvin and Kathy likeness were on the verge of retirement they put their house on the market complete with furniture and began packing for the move they were not afraid of the challenges ahead after a hard day the tired but happy husband and wife found solace in the laughter and jokes of their grandchildren as well as the support of their friends Jennifer O’Brien’s daughter visited her parents house for the last time with her sons including 5-year-old Nathan in a week her parents were to leave this place forever Jenny felt sad because she had spent her childhood and youth there along with her four siblings Alvin and C rented an apartment in Mazon where they planned to spend the winter under the warm Mexican Sun before moving to Edmonton but they were not to enjoy a peaceful retirement the next day their dreams turned into a terrible fog that enveloped everything around them Nathan O’Brien was a cheerful boy with a chubby face and always tousled tan hair he was the middle of Jennifer’s three children because of his love of superhero costumes and friendly disposition the kid was a favorite of everyone around him he easily made friends both among his peers and their parents and tirelessly learned new things Jennifer and the children had a great time at their parents home in Park Hill as the evening wore on Jenny decided to stay the night rather than drive home with three children in the dark Nathan who had been playing Outdoors fell asleep instantly and the youngest Max could not sleep in an unfamiliar bed at 10:45 p.m. Jenny took her two sons home home leaving Nathan to sleep with his mother planning to pick him up in the morning the boy had long wanted to spend the night at his grandparents house and she did not want to deny him that on June 30th 2014 Jennifer came to her parents house in the morning to pick up her son but what she saw was beyond imagination the front door was wide open and inside the house there were pools of blood and a heavy corpse stench there was blood everywhere on the beds walls floor in the corridor there were bloody shoe prints and Footprints as if someone had been dragged the most horrifying thing was a child’s handprint on the wall as if the boy had been leaning on it to keep from falling Jenny was horrified to realize that neither her parents nor her 5-year-old son were in the house she immediately called her husband exclaiming that their entire family had probably been killed and their bodies taken away then in hysterics she called the emergency number and repeated the the same thing the dispatcher told her to get in her car immediately and lock the doors in case the perpetrator was still around Jennifer sat behind the wheel looking at her parents’ house where she had experienced so many happy moments the picture of the wall with her son’s handprint on it impressed her for a long time she could not understand what was really happening the police arrived quickly and upon entering the house it was as if they were on the set of a horror movie they thoroughly searched all the rooms but found no bodies the grandparents and little Nathan had disappeared Without a Trace after an emergency was declared a large-scale search for the missing Trio began the police hoped to the last that the kidnappers were holding them somewhere despite the horrific picture at home Law Enforcement Officers collected DNA samples from the likenesses home but they did not find a single trace or fingerprint of the alleged perpetrator during the collection of physical evidence investigators found a tooth that probably belonged to Alvin the owner of the house blood on 20 lb dumbbells in the garage also matched his genetic material the lock on the side door had been broken suggesting that someone had brutally murdered the three people by entering through that door at night officers also interviewed about 200 visitors to the estate sale initially many calgarians thought it was some kind of family conflict the grandparents had taken the boy for some reason and didn’t want to give him back to his parents the public was simply not informed about the horrors that took place in the house when hundreds of police officers tirelessly searching for the missing family found no trace of Nathan and the lesses they returned to their starting point their home hoping to find the boy alive at least the detectives hypothesized that perhaps the child had witnessed something terrible hid somewhere but was unable to get out on his own they thoroughly searched pantries back rooms looked under beds everywhere Nathan could hide but he was not there for several weeks the police believed that the likenesses in Nathan were being held captive and that the injuries they sustained in their home might not have been fatal But as time passed their hope faded all this time they were looking for the missing Trio but no bodies were found it became obvious that this was not just a kidnapping but a mass murder of three family members the perpetrator remained at large the police held several press conferences finally informing the public that a brutal attack had taken place in the likeness home the only thing they had was a house with pools of blood and a lot of unanswered questions the boy’s parents who could not bear the thought that their son might be dead addressed him directly from the TV screens they reminded Nathan that he was a superhero and could overcome anything that they would soon find him and take him home Jennifer begged her son to be strong and not be afraid those who heard her words were in tears because unlike the mother they were not sure that the child was alive everyone understood the bitterness of the parents grief but did not know how to help them the emergency notification did not yield any concrete results in a few days more than 1,300 messages were received from different places residents of neighboring homes and institutions made efforts to help solve this horrific crime they sent police archives of video footage from that night so much so that the Department’s computer system crashed detectives analyzed hundreds of hours of surveillance footage looking for suspicious details until finally something subtle caught their attention on the night of The Disappearance of Alvin katata and 5-year-old Nathan a car was seen circling the Park Hill Neighborhood several times in one video footage a person emerged near the likeness home Before Dawn shortly afterward the pickup moved North toward the town of erdre in its back was an object covered with a white cloth law enforcement immediately distributed Flyers with a photo of a Ford F150 pickup truck from the late 1980s in early 1990s that had been seen that fateful night on the street where the likeness family lived parents were asked to look for this vehicle and the driver who might have information about the missing Nathan and grandparents the publication of this image turned out to be a very successful step a woman who recognized the pickup truck contacted the police ready Garland was sure she had seen the same vehicle before a very similar pickup truck had been parked at her parents house the night before when she had visited with her common law husband Allan less whose parents and nephew had gone missing the owner of this pickup was Ready’s 56-year-old brother Douglas Garland as a Young Man Douglas was expelled from medical school for fraud after suffering a nervous breakdown he was repeatedly arrested for assault and illegal weapons but was never charged he simply avoided punishment in 19 92 he was convicted for a drug lab found on his farm to avoid imprisonment Douglas fled to British Columbia assuming the identity of Matthew keer Hartley a teenager from Alberta who had died in a car accident under this name he worked in a laboratory for 7 years and when he was fired he registered as unemployed and quietly received payments hiding under an assumed identity in 2000 he was arrested and sentenced to 6 months in prison for drug trafficking and identity theft psychologists attributed his crimes to mental disorders effectively deeming Douglas incapable of violent acts so after 6 months he was released in July 2014 police detained Douglas Garland again at a bus stop in July 2014 the police again detained Douglas Garland at a bus stop and imprisoned him on a previous charge of forgery he was very quiet and did not tell the police anything they immediately allowed a thorough search of Douglas’s household out of concern that like and Nathan might be alive but in danger the police did not even wait for a search warrant this was a legal exception in extraordinary circumstances the Emergency Response Team launched a potential rescue operation as part of the hostage rescue operation they were to storm the 16 hectare Farm in Hector where Douglas lived with his elderly parents this was the most serious Trail however no one was found dead or alive on the farm the only thing that caught my eye was a Barrel near the greenhouse something was smoldering there there were only ashes inside the barrel no blood and no physical evidence so Douglas had to be released on bail under strict conditions not to come near the farm at the same time law enforcement obtained a warrant for a thorough search and more than 300 officers combed every corner of the vast territory adjacent fields and swamps while the experts were examining the premises on the farm detectives found books and manuals with gruesome graphic images in the Deep basement during a further search they found boxes of handcuffs some so small they could hold children’s hands other findings included handsaw blades leather belts bone saws knives guns and a straight jacket law enforcement also came across a computer hard drive hidden under the basement ceiling it contained a lot of thorough research on violence Douglas had downloaded a lot of instructions from the internet how to attack victims in the morning for the the effect of surprise information on methods of painful torture guides on killing without emotion and so on on the bookshelves were books about poisons and brutal crimes there were also images of his intimate fantasies and obsessions Douglas had a real fetish for adult diapers and there were several photos of men and women with their hands and feet tied in these diapers presumably murdered in the isolated basement there was also a set for dressing up as a woman prosthetic breasts two c with long blonde hair women’s clothes on hangers and a huge collection of 89 pairs of different shoes boots shoes and sneakers to fit Douglas’s size there was an empty shoe box in the closet the sole print could be compared to the footprint in the likeness house but unfortunately the shoes themselves were nowhere to be found what the police did not find were the bodies they literally inspected the area on their knees moving side by side through the tall grass but in vain meanwhile with without hesitation Douglas violated his bail and returned to his farm without the knowledge of the Calgary police detectives followed him suspecting that he would try to get rid of the evidence in his basement he was arrested for the second time when Douglas was making his way through dense brush with a police helicopter buzzing overhead he was accused of the murders of Nathan O’Brien kadia and Alvin two weeks have passed since the disappearances despite the absence of bodies Douglas has been charged with a number of crimes backed by an impressive 1400 pieces of evidence whether this man was the one who had carried out the brutal midnight attack on Alvin and katata not even sparing 5-year-old Nathan remained to be seen the police continued to investigate relentlessly they decided to examine the contents of a smoldering Barrel that they had noticed during the first search of the farm while sifting the ashes from the barrel the forensic experts came across a shocking Discovery among the hot coals were a child’s tooth charred pieces of of Flesh metal eyeglass frames and numerous fragments of human bones further investigation revealed that Douglas Garland Alvin and caty lickes had a long history of Tangled Affairs ready Garland Douglas’s sister who reported the pickup truck to the police was the common law wife of Allan likeness one of Alvin and cot’s Sons a key detail that caught the investigator’s attention was that the two men had worked together several years earlier in 2006 when Alvin a successful businessman was looking for a partner his son Allan suggested douglas douglas with some education and experience collaborated with Alvin in developing a pump for the oil and gas industry it was lies’ invention and he hired Douglas to improve the pump however the project was never realized forcing the entrepreneur to terminate the agreement with Douglas their partnership ended in early 2007 when Douglas simply stopped answering his phone Alvin patent the pump he and Douglas had been working on but received no money for it although Douglas’s claim was essentially based on nothing it’s not as if he was robbed of millions of dollars after losing his job he became incredibly irritated the dismissal rekindled a deep-seated resentment that eventually grew into hatred and seems to have resulted in a horrific Massacre of the entire family of the perceived enemy It is believed that Douglas did not intend to harm Nathan but the boy should not have survived as a witness to his crime this soulless creature did not care about the age of the victims his goal was to take revenge for the insult to his own pride in January 2017 Douglas Garland’s trial for a triple brutal murder began in a crowded Calgary courtroom he denied guilt on all three charges he did not file any motions throughout the trial the high-profile trial shocked the entire nation with the public following the case more closely than any other criminal case in the country the day before they disappeared Alvin and caddy were having a garage sale preparing to sell their house and move to a smaller place they were to leave this home for good in a week and begin a well-deserved retirement Douglas was running out of time and decided to act fast for years he had harbored a grudge against Alvin lickness over a patent for a pump they had once collaborated on the fact that the device had never been sold and had not made any profit did not bother Douglas his resentment and anger had been building all these years and on that day June 30th 2014 he finally decided to put his criminal plan into action Before Dawn Douglas entered the likenesses home by drilling a lock on the side door instructions on how to bypass such locks were also found on his computer hard drive while the entire family was sleeping soundly the Intruder went into the bedroom where Alvin was sleeping and struck him several times with something heavy like a stick then he went to the guest room where according to the DNA the grandmother and Grand grandson were sleeping judging by the large amount of blood the woman was also struck with a blunt object but the exact weapon was not identified the cause of Nathan’s injuries was also not clear but there was undoubtedly bleeding despite the significant amount of blood in the couple’s home forensic experts are convinced that all three were alive when Douglas pulled them out of bed and into his pickup truck most likely he transported the bound bodies in the back of the car covered covering them with a white cloth which was seen on video surveillance the perpetrator left no traces of DNA or fingerprints and his internet searches suggest that he had studied detailed instructions on how to do this in advance the man then drove his three victims to a spacious house on his parents’ Farm 20 M away where Nathan and his grandparents were to be subjected to the most horrific torment DNA from all three was found on various torture instruments meat hooks bone saws and knives genetic material that matched the profiles of all three victims was also found on a pair of rubber boots near one of the out buildings on the Douglas farm in addition a bloody light switch inside the building matched the DNA profiles of the likeness couple a computer forensics expert testified about the photos of kadia and Alvin found among the deleted files on Douglas’s hard drive the perpetrator followed the lives of his so-called enemies through social media Douglas’s mother also testified against her son describing him as a lonely man who had absolutely no friends but the elderly woman added that her son was an intelligent man who loved to read books and help with the housework according to her Douglas earned a bachelor’s degree in college and then transferred to the University of Alberta but due to a nervous breakdown he only studied there for a month when she saw a TV report about The Disappearance of three members of the lickness family and told Douglas about it he said he didn’t want to discuss Alvin unfortunately she did not hear her son go out the night the three disappeared so she was unable to provide the court with any specific details her daughter ready made her son take pictures of her brother’s pickup truck and sent them to the police it was her actions that helped investigators solve the case however the defense attorney as expected insisted that there was no concrete forensic or scientific evidence that Douglas was at the lickness house on the night of the attack no one saw or confirmed that it was the defendant who took the life of the boy and his grandparents there is not even any information about the motive for their deaths according to the defense he must be fully acquitted at 9:30 a.m. on July 1st 2014 the day after the incident at the likeness home a small plane from an aerial photography company flew over airry airspace mapping the city in two small suburbs of Calgary every 3 seconds it took pictures and by an almost unbelievable coincidence two of these photos became evidence in court and largely decided the fate of the case against Douglas Garland the photos showed three torsos lying face down on the ground near three out buildings south of the main house two of them were clearly adults completely naked except for some white cloth wrapped around their waists presumably given Douglas’s fetish these were adult diapers experts were even able to determine the approximate height of these people two were 6′ 2 in and 5T 6 in tall and the third figure was much smaller the small figure was lying on his side in the grass curled up next to a barrel for burning the adults appeared to have had their heads cut off the pilot of the mapping plane testified that during the next flight over the farm 26 hours later the bodies were no longer in the photographs in this tragic case The Silence of the victims rings out piercingly there are no bodies left only tiny fragments the the only evidence of their existence on this planet was the ashes in the waste Barrel the pieces of Flesh and Bone belonged to 5-year-old Nathan and his grandparents it seems that after beheading them the killer decided to burn the bodies in a process similar to Cremation as the horrific details of the heinous crimes were revealed in the courtroom Douglas remained unfazed and even took notes he never showed any regret for his actions none of the victim’s relatives could testify at the trial but a written statement from ‘s father Rod O’Brien was read in the courtroom in the letter the man said that they did not have enough time to enjoy their son and now they do not even have the opportunity to properly bury him as there is virtually nothing left of him after several hours of traumatic testimony and approximately 10 hours of deliberations the jury convicted the defendant the judge who heard the case of the brutal triple murder in Calgary showed no mercy he sentenced Douglas Garland who was found guilty of the death of Nathan O’Brien his grandparents Alvin and Katya likeness to the harshest possible punishment this is three terms of 25 years each without the right to early release for 75 years theoretically Douglas will be able to apply for clemency only at the age of 129 on the day of the sentencing Douglas was severely beaten by several inmates in the prison and suffered serious injuries after that other inmates repeatedly mocked him for killing three innocent people including a 5-year-old boy over a senseless insult that happened several years ago the heartbreaking events that unfolded around the likeness and Nathan families had a profound impact on the families and the community at large The Emptiness of losing Alvin katata and little Nathan was immeasurable the repercussions of this tragedy reverberated not only in the courtroom but also in the hearts of those who knew and Lov the family words cannot express the grief felt by the parents of the deceased boy although they spoke to the Press every day both refused to discuss any details of the horrific crime Jennifer and Rod overcame hardships day after day raising two sons and trying to adjust to life without their little superhero faced with incredible grief Nathan’s parents rod and Jennifer found a way to turn their pain into something positive they founded the Nathan O’Brien Children’s Foundation a Beacon of Hope known for changing the lives of disadvantaged children their mission is to honor the memory of of the Fallen Boy by giving other children the opportunity to Live Hope and realize their dreams Nathan loved Sports so the founders of the foundation organize sports events for children every year teaching them how to play hockey imagining how much the boy would have enjoyed participating in these competitions another thing that Nathan loved was talking to his father before going to bed their last conversation is forever etched in Rod’s memory the son started asking his father what heaven was like which was strange to hear from a 5-year-old but Nathan dreamed of becoming a superhero and flying through the sky cutting through the clouds with his hands he told his father that he would meet them in heaven when they died Rod even thought that his son had somehow sensed that this would happen soon Nathan’s mother Jenny watches her son’s friends grow up with tears in her eyes realizing that she will never see the adult he would have become the case of the lickness and O’Brien’s is a tragic page in Calgary’s history that has left an incurable wound in the hearts of not only the city citizens but the entire country and the world let the story of the untimely deaths of Alvin ktia and little Nathan serve as a reminder that we must value our families and strive for a world where kindness prevails over cruelty anger and hatred this is the end of the story please
