The m******r is Dieter Krombach and the father got only a one year suspended jail sentence.
Shame on all seven of you who downvoted Rachel Pelz for saying that she doesn't understand what is by any standards a poorly-written explanation. Rachel, after being abducted and ássaulted the girl managed to gain his trust. Then, using cleaning up his house as a cover, she collected clues which she could hide in her clothing and which could help to identify him - if he had kílled her there's a chance he wouldn't find them when he disposed of her body. As it happens she didn't need them because she managed to escape when he fell asleep, and she led the police straight to him. So yes, both horrifying for the crime and clever for her thinking.
I have no words. This is so sad, so hopeless, so terrible. Doing this to children. He was a little child and a hero. He should never have lost his life. What the heck is going on in this crazy world ?
"Stuff". FFS, call abyse abyse. Not naming things only makes it easier to pretend they don't happen.
complete the headline. "As a young boy Jason and Joel were abused physically and sexually by their stepfather. Despite the law arresting his stepfather he served zero jail time."
Not a surprise given the way that Soviet forces were utilised during WWII, their lack of regard for human life was bordering on criminal, they’d approach battles with volume rather than quality or solid tactics, just throw troops at the problem. 1 in 3 dead during WWII were Russian. Yes they won but the cost in lives was biblical.
Legend has it that the husky was silent for a full 30 seconds, a feat that has never been repeated.
I've been to Maui a few times. It's little. Seems like you could walk a day or two and hit a coast. 17 days? She must have been hurt.
Now that IS horrifying. Hope that poor kid got the help and love he needed to cope with this.
Overworked people sadly exist everywhere, the Japanese at least have the chance to live in a country where respect is very important. I doubt someone would feel safe passing out in the streets of New York or Paris: your bag and wallet will most definitely be gone by the time you wake up, and you might never even wake up because a*s*ulting defenceless people is seen as "cool" in a lot of places.
He was pretty near a river when he vanished. Odds are that in the dark he fell into the river and drowned.
Angus Barbieri (1938 or 1939 – 7 September 1990) was a Scottish man who fasted for 382 days,[1] from 14 June 1965 to 30 June 1966. He subsisted on tea, coffee, sparkling water, vitamins and yeast extract while living at home in Tayport, Scotland, frequently visiting Maryfield Hospital for medical evaluation. Barbieri went from 456 pounds (207 kg) to 180 pounds (82 kg), losing 276 pounds (125 kg) and setting a record for the length of a fast.
So, it has wings. Wings count as limbs. This is a 6-limbed chicken. This is a centaur.
Thank God for the volunteers. Or thank whoever you want. I’m so glad those boys were found.
I read her book, amazing woman and mother. A testament to the resiliency of the human spirit.
And her her role in the same film is the reason why I still check behind shower curtains when using the bathroom to this day
The Soviets never cared to treat any POWs according to the rules of war.
See, this is why I can never understand why people say Australia has such dangerous animals. We don't have bears, for one. (except drop bears, but they are related to koalas and are as dangerous as fk) Bears are terrifying.
Ears and nose are made of cartilage, which continues to grow throughout life. Bone doesn't.
how could no one notice this in the first 5 min though? laughable. but like really guys
This is why anti-vaxxer is not suitable for president or health secretary
Imagine your whole town being wiped out and the only survivor being the town m******r or whatever he did
I don't know about anyone, they look so mythical. Like out of the world, in a good way.
It’s so weird cos the guy survived being stabbed by this guy?! And he got life
What’s horrifying is that less than a century ago, Wilson was considered the world's most obese man. Today, people his size aren’t an unusual sight.
Now THAT is dedication. (There was a similar but bar-free scene in the 1982 movie Bad Boys--Sean Penn breaks out of prison just to go hang with Ally Sheedy. Which makes perfect sense. )
So sad. If I'm not wrong Nero forcefully married Sporus because he looked like Nero's dead wife
And now we've replaced it with those ridiculous duck lip fillers
Ain't it horrifying that these rock musicians can have a "proper" career?
This happened in Australia. She married the man who hid her and had children with him… by all accounts it was a normal, happy relationship and she could never really explain why she didn’t come forward sooner, only to say that she had a “complicated” relationship with her parents. Sadly, she was found dead recently from s*****e.
Pictures of Ukrainians before and after returning from Russia as POWs ARE truly horrifying.
He released a book in 2025, "The Disappearance: Conspiracy, Revolution, Revelation… The Extraordinary Disappearance of Steven Kubacki". He says that he disappeared on purpose & details what he'd been doing in the 15-month period he was missing. The outline for the contents includes 1) A conspiracy to disappear on Lake Michigan with the intent to launch global change. 2) Encounters with spiritual guides, interdimensional beings, and power animals. 3) The rise of the NRF: a revolutionary society with a mission to liberate minds, & 4) Reflections on radicalism, idealism, and the courage to live authentically in a divided world
Lolita is about a 12 year old girl and a man's obsession for her. 17 years age difference, albeit a large one, doesn't make Cooper's girlfriend a 12 year old.
This listicle has the most ridiculous amount of censorship I've ever seen.
