February 9th: Kermit Gosnell Born (1941) Today’s story contains a heavy and highly debated topic. It also contains the crimes of one man, born on February 9th 1941, and how those crimes affected hundreds of women.

February 8th: Michael Dale Rimmer Kills? (1997) Sometimes the easy answer isn’t the right one. On February 8th 1997 a woman disappeared from her job and a suspect in the case, the easy choice, was named almost immediately. In a case that seemed open and shut, many argued that the easiest, most obvious choice, may have put an innocent man behind bars.  https://murderpedia.org/male.R/r/rimmer-michael-dale.htm, https://www.actionnews5.com/2021/04/16/tennessee-supreme-court-upholds-death-sentence-man-convicted-ex-girlfriends-murder/, https://www.tncourts.gov/press/2021/04/16/tennessee-supreme ..read more

February 6th: Alan Shalleck Murdered (2006) Fame and notoriety doesn’t make you immune to tragedy. On February 6th 2006 a man behind some of the biggest children’s shows was killed inside his home in Florida by men who assumed, incorrectly, that they could get some money off of him.

On February 5th 2015 a young man with a very bright future pulled the trigger on his own father in a crime that, when the truth finally became more evident, saw a story that was far more than it originally seemed.  https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/2019/11/20/charlie-tan-admits-killing-his-dad-jim-tan-what-we-know-dateline-nbc/4241229002/, https://cornellsun.com/2019/11/21/former-cornell-student-cleared-of-murder-charges-admits-in-affidavit-to-killing-father-in-2015/, https://www.syracuse.com ..read more

February 2nd: Manuel Delgado Villegas Dies (1998) Most serial killers have a type. They have an MO or a victim  type that can lead investigators straight to them like breadcrumbs. This, however, is not always the case. On February 2nd 1998 a man passed away who chose any type of victim who crossed his path. Which is why he managed to get away with murder for so long and, had he not deviated from this plan, may have gotten away with it a little longer.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manuel_Delgado_Villegas, https://murderpedia.org/male.D/d/delgado-villegas-manuel.htm, https://bodyrepo ..read more
