MURDER

AND OTHER STRANGE BEHAVIOR

Welcome - I'm glad you're here!

Welcome! My name is Ann.

If you are looking for some hometown-style true crime stories, you have landed in the right place. I started this site out of a love for true crime stories and a desire to learn more about the crimes themselves. My articles are sometimes quite long because I want to do deeper dives into these cases, informing not only about the crimes, but the investigations and most importantly, the victims whenever possible.

This site is new so I will be adding more content soon. Have a look around. I hope you like what you see.
