I remember an episode of Unsolved Mysteries where a sweet old woman took in a bunch of unwanted dogs so they wouldn't be put down, then some asshole started terrorizing her for no reason. Lots of threats and property damage at first, but it got really messed up when he broke into the barn where she kept the dogs and shot some of them. That on its own would be messed up beyond belief, but it got worse when whoever was tormenting her burned down the barn with like 60 dogs inside killing all but one.
The murder of Kelly Anne Bates stands out to me when I think of truly horrific ways to die. Bates was drowned in 1997 by her boyfriend, James Patterson Smith. They started a relationship when Bates was just fourteen and Smith had a history of violence against his previous partners. It's tragic that Bates did leave Smith at one point but returned to living with him the year before her death. He tortured her over a period of several weeks beforehand, just some of the things he did to her include: gouging out her eyes up to three weeks before death partial scalping genital mutilation stab wounds inside her mouth & eye sockets During his questioning Smith claimed Bates "would put me through hell winding me up" which is just as disturbing to me. I can't imagine how much suffering Bates went through in her short seventeen year life.
Rumors abound on whether or not Finding Bigfoot will continue, but hopeful news is on the horizon. Snake Oil Productions, the production company responsible for Finding Bigfoot, is seeking a permit for filming in the Monterey, Virginia area. Monterey lies between the Monongahela and George Washington National Forests. Definitely a good place to look for bigfoot. We can only speculate if this means Finding Bigfoot has been signed on for additional seasons, or if perhaps a new bigfoot show is in the works. We'll keep you updated on any further announcements for sure.
