Sexual cannibalism is considered to be a psychosexual disorder,
which involves a person sexualizing the consumption of another person's
flesh. This does not necessarily suggest that the cannibal achieves
sexual gratification only in the act of consuming human flesh, but also
may release sexual frustration or pent up anger. Sexual cannibalism is
considered to be a form of sexual sadism and is often associated with
the act of necrophilia (sex with corpses). There have been several high |

While still pregnant with their second
child, starlet Denise Richards decided that her marriage to Hollywood
bad-boy Charlie Sheen was over in March 2005. While rumors of
reconciliation surfaced later in the year, in January 2006, the couple
entered private arbitration to settle their affairs and end the
marriage. In April, Richards upped the stakes by filing for a
restraining order against Sheen for alleged compulsive gambling, abuse

Under the guise of the benevolent grandmother lurked a lifelong
criminal, and diligent reporters carefully pieced Puente's life story
together and published it. She was born Dorothea Helen Gray on
January 9, 1929 in Redlands, California, and although she claimed to be
the youngest of 18 children, her birth certificate showed she was her
mother's sixth child, the Sacramento Bee reported. Hers
was a childhood marred by tragedy, with her father dying of
tuberculosis when she was 8 and her |
WHEN he had
stopped crying, Tsutomu Yamaguchi would tell you why he called his book
of poems “The Human Raft”. It had to do with the day he forgot to take
his personal name-stamp to work, and had to get off the bus. Much was
on his mind that morning. He had to pack his bags to leave Hiroshima
after a three-month assignment as an engineer in the Mitsubishi
shipyard; there were goodbyes to say at the office, then a 200-mile
train journey back to Nagasaki to his wife Hisako and Katsutoshi, |
Lynch steadfastly clung to the story that he was innocent, and
only after every avenue of appeal was exhausted did John Lynch confess
to his crimes. In his confession Lynch said that he
believed he had gone about his robbing and killing under the watchful,
approving eye of God. Only when there was no hope left did he lose his
faith in the Lord. On the eve of his execution John Lynch called a
priest and police magistrates to his cell to witness his full
confession. It was a confession that |

1936/37: The beginning of success
His new trainer, Tom Smith,
understood the horse, and his unorthodox training methods gradually
brought Seabiscuit out of his lethargy. Smith paired the horse with Canadian jockey Red Pollard
(1909-1981), who had experience racing in the west and in Mexico, but
was down on his luck. On August 22, 1936 Seabiscuit raced for the first
time for his new jockey and trainer, in Detroit,
without impressing anyone. But improvements came quickly and in their |

Virginia's head spinning. She told Ronnie Howard, who didn't believe
the story. "She's making it all up. She could have gotten it out of the

"As I have said ever since this happened, I didn't kill them ... I
hope they can rest easier after this procedure is done... I would like
to say I hope this gives (the victim's) family some peace. In my
experience in life, it won't. The death of a family member never brings
anything but pain."

The Hawkses stood on the deck of their yacht as they had
thousands of times before, the cerulean Pacific Ocean lapping around
them. Now, the sea they loved so much seemed a terrifying void wickedly
beckoning. The couple was dragged to the side of the ship and a rope
was placed around their waists. In a desperate last
effort, Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire Thomas suddenly threw out a kick, connecting with Skylar's
groin. Kennedy punched Thomas in the face and grabbed the boat's |

It was near the end of 1884. In three and a half years, London would be terrorized by the fiend known as Jack the Ripper.
Seven years after that, H.H. Holmes would be tried in Philadelphia for
a murder that blew the lid off his extensive series of killings and
frauds. Both would be dubbed as unique in the annals of
crime, the Ripper as the "World's First Serial Killer," and Holmes as
America's first. Yet in both cases, that distinction would be |

the officers with several significant characteristics about the man who
had attacked her. Fletcher provides more detail. The driver had been

Before looking at specific suspects, let's summarize what is
known about Jack the Ripper from forensic surgeons and possible
eyewitnesses. From the testimony of the various
eyewitnesses which police took most seriously, certain probabilities
emerge about the killer. One must keep in mind the word probable since

Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union into its fifteen constituent republics in December 1991, the aircraft and personnel of the Soviet Air Force - the VVS were divided among the newly independent states. General Pyotr Deynekin,
