Chosen Smith was murdered on February 17, 2018. Chosen had been in the care of two babysitters named Tameke Wright and Lavar Harris. On February 17, 2018, Wright and Harris rushed Chosen to the hospital after telling police that he had fallen off a futon. Wright said she saw Chosen standing in front of the futon with lumps on his forehead and he appeared to be staring into space. Shortly after Chosen was taken to the hospital, he was pronounced dead. An autopsy found the back part of his skull had been fractured and he'd sustained a subdural hematoma, a head injury strong enough to burst blood vessels. There were also bruises and scratches of all sizes covering his body. The state Medical Examiner's Office listed the cause of death as blunt force trauma. Harris and Wright were charged with first-degree murder by abuse or neglect. According to court documents, Chosen's mother told police she would pay Wright $40 to $100 to watch her son and that Wright had been watching him since he was a few months old. She added that she would sometimes leave Chosen with Wright so "that she could have a break away from him." Wright told police Chosen had been under her care for one to two weeks. The court documents detailed several assaults in February, including one in which Wright told police that she saw Harris pick up Chosen by an arm. As Chosen dangled in the air, Harris struck him in the chest while yelling: "Shut up. Shut up. You're not going to sleep." Later that night, when Wright told police she questioned Harris why Chosen was wet, Harris told her he'd placed him in a cold shower for 10-15 minutes "to keep him awake." Harris also pulled down Chosen's diaper and began hitting him with a belt and a remote control. On another occasion, Harris told Wright that Chosen no longer cried when he was hit. Wright then told him that Chosen needed to be hit in the back of the head. "See I told you so," Wright said, after Harris followed her instructions and Chosen cried. In January 2019, Wright and Harris pleaded guilty to first-degree murder by abuse. A Superior Court judge sentenced them each to 35 years in prison, followed by 6 months of either home confinement or work release, then 18 months of probation. Their sentence also requires them to spend every February 17th, the anniversary of Chosen's death, in solitary confinement. Chosen was 15 months old. #grave #cemetery #mausoleum #graves #cemeteries #cemeteryexplorer #cemeteryexplorers #famous #famouspeople #famousgraves #famousgrave #graveyard #gravephotographer #gravestone #gravestones #taphophile #taphophilia #celebritygraves #murder #murdervictim #murdervictims #murdervictimsawareness #unsolved #unsolvedcases #unsolvedcasefiles #unsolvedcrime #unsolvedcrimes #truecrimetiktok #truecrime #truecrimecommunity #truecrimetok

Elmer Schroeder was murdered on September 21, 1953. The day prior, Elmer's relatives and friends kept phoning him at his apartment but got no response. The building's manager was alerted. On September 22, 1953, police were called, and the manager used a passkey to enter the apartment. They found all the lights on and the apartment “neatly ransacked.” Cords had been cut from Venetian blinds in the apartment’s living room, bedroom, and bathroom. In the bedroom, they found Elmer's bludgeoned body, face up to the bed. His hands were bound behind his back. His feet, which were crossed at the ankles, had a cord tied around them; the cord was secured under the bed. Tied extremely tight around Elmer's neck was another cord attached to the bed’s headboard. Two blows, one to the top of the head, the other to the left temple, which looked to have been inflicted with brass knuckles, had crushed his skull. There was a sock stuffed into Elmer’s mouth, held in place by a torn bath towel tied around his face. He had been dead for at least 24 hours. Reports emphasized that Elmer was unmarried, and used coded language to suggest he was a gay man whose "sinful lifestyle" had caught up to him. Elmer was last seen alive around midnight on Saturday, September 19, 1953, at a downtown bar, accompanied by another man. A day later, James Clifford Beardsmore was picked up, questioned for eight hours, then released by the police. Beardsmore told police he had met Elmer at a party that summer. When Elmer became ill in July, he suggested that Beardsmore move in with him until he recovered. On October 10, 1953, police issued a national alert naming Basil Kingsley Beck, an escaped convict, as the No. 1 suspect in Elmer’s murder. The pair was last seen together three days before the murder. On March 1, 1954, Beck was placed on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted List. Two days later, he was arrested in California, where he had been working at an auto supply shop under an assumed name. When questioned about Elmer's murder, Beck said he had been in the area but had never heard of Elmer. Police soon latched onto another suspect named Francis Ballem, who had recently been arrested for another murder. Police searched for a link between Ballem and Elmer but had no success. Two years later, police named Thomas C. Wetling Jr. as a new suspect. Wetling had been implicated in Elmer’s murder by a person who was being questioned by the FBI in an unrelated investigation. According to the informant, Wetling and Elmer knew each other, and after a night of drinking, Wetling accompanied Elmer to his apartment where they argued before Wetling killed him. Detectives questioned Wetling and noted he bore a striking resemblance to the previous suspect, Basil Kingsley Beck. It was soon revealed the informant was James Clifford Beardsmore, who had been questioned and released by police just after the murder. On February 18, 1956, Wetling was indicted for murder. During the trial, Beardsmore testified he had loaned Wetling a suit, the pants of which he later found in a closet “covered with blood.” He also stated that Wetling had confessed to murdering Elmer. The prosecution had no physical evidence against Wetling. Wetling denied meeting or knowing Elmer and also denied he had ever told Beardsmore he had killed him. On September 25, 1957, the jury declared Wetling not guilty. After he was acquitted, Wetling disappeared from the area, leaving behind a wife and two young children. No one was ever convicted for Elmer's murder. He was 55 years old. #grave #cemetery #mausoleum #graves #cemeteries #cemeteryexplorer #cemeteryexplorers #famous #famouspeople #famousgraves #famousgrave #graveyard #gravephotographer #gravestone #gravestones #taphophile #taphophilia #celebritygraves #murder #murdervictim #murdervictims #murdervictimsawareness #unsolved #unsolvedcases #unsolvedcasefiles #unsolvedcrime #unsolvedcrimes #truecrimetiktok #truecrime #truecrimecommunity #truecrimetok

Gloria Bozzelli was murdered on April 9, 1953. On the evening of April 8, 1953, Gloria and her father Peter were watching television. When Peter awoke the next morning, he went to the kitchen expecting to find Gloria making coffee. She wasn't there. Peter got in touch with two of his grown sons, then sent one of them to the home of Gloria's boyfriend, Vincent Manzo. Vincent said he had not seen her since dropping her off at home after a date the day prior. Peter notified the police about Gloria's disappearance, and told them she had been keeping house for him since his wife died in 1951. On April 24, 1953, Gloria was found on the bank of an abandoned canal called Iron Ore Creek. Her partially-clothed body was found in an Army duffel bag with her knees pressed against her chest. She had been strangled to death with a nylon stocking that was knotted tightly around her neck. Police said that Gloria had been beaten viciously before her death. Her left eye was swollen and discolored and her upper lip was bruised. When the duffel bag was sent to the state police laboratory, its contents were examined for clues. Gloria's ballerina skirt had been removed and stuffed into the bag with her body. She had been wearing a blue blouse and underwear, but no shoes. The only thing in the bag with any identification was a school ring on Gloria's finger, bearing the initials VJM, which belonged to her boyfriend. Police questioned Vincent Manzo again, and he told them the same thing - that he had not seen Gloria since the day prior to her disappearance. Just days later, while interviewing with police about his daughter's disappearance and murder, Peter Bozzelli broke down and admitted to killing her. Bozzelli stated that he had been out to dinner with Gloria and they returned home about 9:30pm. Then they sat in the living room and talked. At some point, he questioned Gloria about $600 in savings that had gone missing from a drawer in his bedroom. Her reply angered him, and they got into a violent fight before he beat her and then strangled her to death with one of her own stockings. Bozzelli said he took Gloria's body down to the basement and stuffed it into the olive green Army bag they had been using for laundry. He dragged the duffel bag through a side door and placed it into his 1951 Pontiac, then drove into another state to dispose of it at the creek. Once he completed his confession, Bozzelli was arrested for Gloria's murder. On October 7, 1953, he pleaded not guilty to the charges. Less than three weeks later, he was found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison. During the short trial, it was revealed that Gloria was still alive, making noise and trying to struggle, as Bozzelli dragged her down to the basement. "I thought she'd passed out," he said. "Her tongue came out a little. I picked up a bag, It might have been a laundry bag. I tried wrapping her up but I couldn't do it. So I put her in the bag." As Bozzelli was being led out of the courtroom, Gloria's boyfriend Vincent Manzo lunged at him and began swinging. On November 3, 1954, Bozzelli died in Eastern State Penitentiary from broncho-pneumonia after having been on a hunger strike for three weeks. Gloria was 24 years old. She is buried alongside her mother in this unmarked grave next to other family members. #grave #cemetery #mausoleum #graves #cemeteries #cemeteryexplorer #cemeteryexplorers #famous #famouspeople #famousgraves #famousgrave #graveyard #gravephotographer #gravestone #gravestones #taphophile #taphophilia #celebritygraves #murder #murdervictim #murdervictims #murdervictimsawareness #unsolved #unsolvedcases #unsolvedcasefiles #unsolvedcrime #unsolvedcrimes #truecrimetiktok #truecrime #truecrimecommunity #truecrimetok

Bethann Pyfer was murdered on February 27, 1986. She was last seen alive that night. Four days later, on March 3, 1986, her body was found under beer cans and leaves near the edge of a 50-foot embankment in a wooded area of a cemetery. Her bloodstained jacket was found hanging on a bush. She had been strangled, stabbed in the chest, and "left to rot," according to police. Bethann was 7 1/2 months pregnant. The autopsy showed she was carrying a baby girl just under seven pounds. Detectives canvassed the neighborhood, talking to residents and stopping delivery drivers and cabs to ask if they had seen or heard anything. Four years later in April 1990, police charged Bethann's half-brother, Arthur Pyfer, with her murder. He was arraigned on charges of criminal homicide, murder, aggravated assault, and possessing an instrument of crime. Pyfer's arrest came after a bloody "Sir Lawrence" knife was found by children playing near the cemetery, combined with a witness statement. The knife contained traces of human blood the same type as Bethann's, and the stab wound on her body was consistent with the blade. The witness, Candida Salach, told police that Pyfer admitted to "cutting" his sister because he was jealous she wasn't carrying his child. Salach also said that Pyfer threatened to kill her if she told anyone. In an interview with police, Pyfer admitted to owning the knife but denied killing Bethann. When the trial began in February 1991, Assistant DA William Toal conceded that most of his evidence against Pyfer was circumstantial. Toal stated that Pyfer voluntarily went to the police on the day Bethann was found and blamed the murder on the father of her unborn child, Dean Cahill. A prosecution witness testified that the last time anyone saw Bethann alive, Pyfer was pushing her into a yellow car behind Cahill's house. Pyfer's attorney, Joseph Grimes, presented a letter that Candida Salach had written to Pyfer on March 17, 1987, more than a year after Salach alleged that Pyfer had confessed to her. The letter concluded with Salach writing, "Love ya," followed by "P.S. Me and Lafferty finally broke up." Grimes noted that the letter's tone was "completely contradictory" to the prosecution's contention that Pyfer confessed to Salach and then threatened to kill her if she told anyone. Throughout the seven day trial, the witness stand had been a stage for tales of incest, drug use, murder, and a knifing by a tattooed bald man. Grimes finally suggested another theory: that a large bald man known to be an enforcer for the Pagan motorcycle gang went to an apartment shared by Bethann and Arthur Pyfer. The man, described as "really mad," was said to have cut Arthur's arms as he lay on the couch. Grimes implied that Bethann had been killed by the man as she tried to avenge the attack on her half-brother. On February 16, 1991, after three days of deliberations, the jury acquitted Arthur Pyfer of killing Bethann. Although police believed that more than one person had been involved in Bethann's murder, they never arrested anyone aside from Pyfer. Bethann's murder has never been solved. She was 17 years old. #grave #cemetery #mausoleum #graves #cemeteries #cemeteryexplorer #cemeteryexplorers #famous #famouspeople #famousgraves #famousgrave #graveyard #gravephotographer #gravestone #gravestones #taphophile #taphophilia #celebritygraves #murder #murdervictim #murdervictims #murdervictimsawareness #unsolved #unsolvedcases #unsolvedcasefiles #unsolvedcrime #unsolvedcrimes #truecrimetiktok #truecrime #truecrimecommunity #truecrimetok

Alana MacNeil was murdered on April 19, 2005. That afternoon, Alana’s estranged stepfather, Thomas Conroy, made an unannounced visit to their home. When Alana refused to unlock the door, Conroy shot through the lock. Alana ran as Conroy fired nearly a dozen times throughout the home, shooting wildly as he looked for her. Conroy found Alana hiding in a basement bedroom and shot her twice in the head with a sawed-off shotgun. As a swarm of cops and a SWAT team surrounded the home, Conroy turned the gun on himself and took his own life. Conroy's rampage and the sound of Alana screaming was heard by teachers, students, and parents at the high school across the street where Alana was a student. Police said that Conroy’s rage was centered on his ex-wife, Alana’s mother, Caroline Conroy, who was not home at the time. The couple shared a 2-year-old daughter, who was away with a babysitter. They also said the couple had recently separated, and Conroy was living with relatives. He had been under a court order to have no contact with his wife. Police noted that Conroy and Caroline had been in a heated argument the day before the murder, which prompted his surprise visit to the home. Conroy was a disbarred lawyer who had served time in federal prison for insurance fraud in the 1990s. Alana's funeral was attended by 600 people, including four busloads of students from her school. She was 15 years old. #grave #cemetery #mausoleum #graves #cemeteries #cemeteryexplorer #cemeteryexplorers #famous #famouspeople #famousgraves #famousgrave #graveyard #gravephotographer #gravestone #gravestones #taphophile #taphophilia #celebritygraves #murder #murdervictim #murdervictims #murdervictimsawareness #unsolved #unsolvedcases #unsolvedcasefiles #unsolvedcrime #unsolvedcrimes #truecrimetiktok #truecrime #truecrimecommunity #truecrimetok

The fundraiser for Bethann Pyfer and her baby is live! Since her murder in 1986, Bethann has rested in an unmarked grave. She was 7 1/2 months pregnant with a baby girl. The most common reason for an unmarked grave is the cost. We spoke to the cemetery and got permission to mark Bethann's grave. The cost for a 2ft x 1ft flat marker where Bethann is buried is $2500. That includes engraving, two standard emblems, the foundation, shipping to the cemetery, and installation. For 39 years, Bethann and her baby have been virtually forgotten. The murder itself was not widely reported, and no one has ever been held accountable. We want to give Bethann and her baby the dignity they were denied. If you would like to help us, please click the link in my bio to donate! Every donor will be recognized in a special video once Bethann's stone has been installed. Please feel free to share the GoFundMe link across your social platforms! #grave #cemetery #mausoleum #graves #cemeteries #cemeteryexplorer #cemeteryexplorers #famous #famouspeople #famousgraves #famousgrave #graveyard #gravephotographer #gravestone #gravestones #taphophile #taphophilia #celebritygraves #murder #murdervictim #murdervictims #murdervictimsawareness #unsolved #unsolvedcases #unsolvedcasefiles #unsolvedcrime #unsolvedcrimes #truecrimetiktok #truecrime #truecrimecommunity #truecrimetok
