January 21st: Ilan Halimi Kidnapped (2006) Preconceived notions can be dangerous.

January 1st: Sandy Gerberick Killed by Betty Smithey (1963) Finding someone you trust with your children can be difficult. Especially when you are desperate to find some help. On January 1st 1963 a young girl, a baby, was killed by a woman who was trusted with her care. A woman with a long dark history who, maybe, shouldn’t have been trusted with the care of a child. https://murderpedia.org/female.S/s/smithey-betty.htm, https://justice4caylee.forumotion.net/t19711-sandy-gerberick-15-mo-convicted-betty-smithey-phoenix-az, https://mylifeofcrime.wordpress.com/2012/08/14/sandy-gerberick-murder-111963-phoenix-az-betty-smithey-convicted-of-her-murder-sentenced-to-life-in-prison-released-today-after-49-years-in-prison/, https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/04/26/freed-killer-betty-smithey-is-jodi-arias/26434005/, https://www.azjusticeproject.org/manifest-injustice-profiles/betty-smithey, https://www.huffpost.com/entry/betty-smithey-released_n_1778434 Learn more about your ad choices.

December 31st: Louise Vermilya Dies (1913) A marriage should, at its core, be for love and companionship. At least, that’s what one would hope. On December 31st 1913 a woman died after spending time in prison for the crimes she committed against the men she convinced to marry her. Marriages that, likely, weren’t for love but for the massive insurance policies she was able to cash out on. And, those weren’t her only victims. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louise_Vermilya, https://murderpedia.org/female.V/v/vermilyea-louise.htm, https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/108066185/louise-vermilya, https://mysteriouschicago.com/louise-lindloff-the-fortune-telling-murderer/, https://cdnc.ucr.edu/?a=d&d=SFC19111107.2.39&e=-------en--20--1--txt-txIN--------1, http://malefactorsregister.com/wp/she-reveled-in-death/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Salvi III Kills (1994) The argument of whether someone is competent to stand trial is one that, in some cases, has an outcome that is surprising to those involved. On December 30th 1994 a man committed a heinous crime that landed him in a courtroom who spent time debating his level of competency. A man who, if you believed the defense, had a long history of mental illness that led to a diagnosis or, if you believed the prosecution, knew exactly what he did when he pulled the trigger and absolutely knew right from wrong.
