2 P's in a Pod Crime Tales

  I am going to conclude the story on Dr Quincy Fortier, although there are a couple dozen more medical professional names I could add to this story, I wanted to solely discuss this case for now... In the mid -2000's, two of Quincy Fortier's former patients decided to go ahead and charge and sue the doctor for fertility fraud; the court case was settled out of court.  Sounds to me like they were offered hush money,as Dr Quincy Fortier never had to openly admit any of his despicable actions and the families were forbidden from publicly speaking about what had happened to them; unfortunately for him, but fortunately for his victims, there were several more people who had been dealt the same devestating blow from him and were not in on the court case and never consented to remain quiet!!!  (In a sick twist, Quincy Fortier acknowledged the paternity of the four children involved in the court case and put the wording in such a way, to leave it open to the possibility that there coul

  Things escalated from Wendi Basti's revelation.... The DNA database that Wendi had used revealed that the now deceased doctor, (He died in 2006, at the age of 94 years old), who was once revered for his incredible work in the fertility world was a horrible being who for over the span of forty years, had produced at least 26 children with his completely obliviant patients.  Devastating and possibly fracturing families all over. Could you imagine dicovering after 30+ years, that the father you always knew was not your biological father, and that you were product of essentially what I would call "medical rape"??? It is unfathomable; being an adoptee is hard enough not knowing who you are or where you come from, in the best of circumstances. This not only deeply effected the adult children but also their parents and their marriages; along with their families. Obviously the shock and devastation also met with the question on what the adult children were to do now. They had n

  Good day Crime buffs. I know it has been a while since I have been able to write about any cases, but unfortunately life sometimes gets in the way, even taking away from the things we absolutely love doing... I am hoping to do some catching up in the next few days; as long as my own health holds up. So let's just jump into this case.  I have to admit, I didn't know too much about this one, although I had heard vaguely about this truly disturbing, twisted story of a man who took advantage of some of the most vulnerable people you could imagine... people desperate to become parents by any means possible... but nothing like this could have even been imagined; other than in the most sick of minds... I am talking about the late Dr. Quincy Fortier. If you have not heard about him, after you read his case here, try finding the HBO special about him called, "Baby God". I promise for those of us who love a good crime story, this one will not disappoint. I can actually admit

  We are at the part where Ariel Castro has nowhere to run. In a weird twist to this sadistic act, Castro had left a suicide note at the house that said if anything should happen to him, or if he is caught, all his money and possessions should be given to the kidnapped women; simply calling himself a "sex addict" and "cold-blooded"!!! He knew he would be eventually caught, as he didn't think the plan through nor make an exit plan... Ariel Castro was arrested fairly fast after the women and little girl were saved. On May 8th, he was charged with: 4 counts of kidnapping  3 counts of rape which carry prison sentences of 10 years to life in Ohio. Pedro and Onil Castro were also arrested, but released the following day, as it was proven they had nothing to do with the abductions. Ariel Castro made his first court appearance at the Cleveland Municipal Court on May 9th. Bail was set at $8 million dollars ($2 mil per abduction). Prosecutors wanted the death penalty whil

  I have introduced the main "players" in this sick, twisted tale of abduction and captivity. Now is the time to reveal what happened in the Cleveland House of Horrors... When Ariel Castro first arrived with Michelle Knight, he brought her to the upper floor of the house and hogtied her; hoisting her on a pulley towards the ceiling; leaving her there for 3 days, without food. There WERE diaries kept by each of the victims throughout there stay at the house of horrors on Seymour Avenue... The teens all describe how Castro forced himself upon them, doing absolutely appalling things to them; when he was done, he would lock them in a dark room, where they would sit or lay in fear, waiting for what would happen next, or a way to escape him.  They went into detail about how Ariel Castro would treat them like animals, locked in separate rooms, fed like cattle, once a day, if they were lucky and maybe a shower twice a week. The threats were constant and the abuse was indescribable. M

  I have just told you all about the evil perp in this case, let me tell you about the victims involved in this case. The first one is particularly "special" and important to me; my heart broke for her, before it happened, while it happened and the aftermath of everything...  You will soon understand. I hope!!! Michelle Knight was born on April 23, 1981 and disappeared on August 23, 2002, after leaving a cousin's house. She was 21 years old at the time; and had already endured a very troubled life, especially when it came to her relationship with her mother. On the day of her disappearance, she was scheduled to appear in court for a child custody case involving her son Joey, who had been taken from the state. As I get more into detail with the other two victims Ariel Castro had abducted; you will understand how angry I am for Michelle Knight and how my heart goes completely out to her. After Michelle Knight was rescued, the authorities, particularly the police publicly a

Hi Everyone. I apologize for not having any entries for a little while; but as you know, sometimes life gets in the way...  I am back with a case that really shook several communities. I don't want to say the world, but the books and movies that came from it, sure did!!! I know, I myself, was shook. I am just going to dive into the case beginning with the perpetrator, as it really is all because of his sadistic and sinister ways that caused over a decade long, unfathomable tale to wrap our minds around. His name is Ariel Castro and he was born July 10, 1960 in Duey, Yauco, Puerto Rico. He is the son of Pedro Castro and Lillian Rodriguez. His parents divorced when he was a child, and he moved to Pennsylvannia,USA; with his mother and 3 siblings. It wasn't long before his mother uprooted him and his siblings all moving to Cleveland, Ohio where along with his father, many family members had moved as well. It appeared that Ariel Castro didn't have the peaceful and loving family
