Mr. Handcuffs

I love Wisconsin, we have all four seasons, sometimes in the same week. We have great people, history, and sports. We also have a lot of people who have murdered.

Ray and Faye

Serial killers can start anytime. They have been children, teens, adults, and even the elderly. Today’s killer couple are considered the oldest serial killing couple ever.

So today I will be sharing the case of the Tim Colt Family, please bear with me, this one may be a bit rough. In the 1970’sContinue reading “The Colt Clan”

Cherry Pie

I’ve put off this post for as long as I possibly could. It’s another recipe for a Thanksgiving dinner, and it’s dessert time. Every year I make too much food and too many desserts, according to my husband (I don’t think he understands how important having options is). But I like to ensure there isContinue reading “Cherry Pie”

But I wouldn’t have expected to find a similar story that came out of Wisconsin. In Jefferson, WI,Continue reading “Ruben”
