While I was doing research this week for my Wicked Wednesday posts, Google offered up a wonderful resource I hadn't seen before:
Crime Library. (Warning: There's some pretty nasty stuff on the front page there, so watch where you click. I'd stick to the main page links, if I were you.)
The place doesn't seem to have an About page, but I think it's pretty self-explanatory. Everything you could ever want to know about grisly and gruesome crimes.
It's cool if you're into that stuff, or if you're doing research to get into the mindset of the totally warped, or if you're merely looking for inspiration so you can write a suspense. (Although, some of that stuff is too weird for fiction, if you know what I mean.)
Speaking of too weird, I noticed a link on the site to a video of some French dudes authorities are now looking for. It seems they were at the Grand Canyon, lured one of the friendly, tourist-loving squirrels near the edge, and then kicked the poor thing off. The squirrel did not survive the encounter and even though it was done in full view of other tourists, the sickos weren't caught. I hope they catch them and kick them off the canyon rim.
