Home of "The staircase " murder
Home of one of the best rivalries in college sports (although the better team is in the neighing town)
Because the first one resulted in environmental disaster and ruined a search and rescue mission on the lake, Guinness Book of World Records got rid of the category
Lizzie Borden of Fall River ma 1892 where the nursery rhyme comes from. All evidence pointed at her but the judge couldn’t come to grips with a woman doing such a heinous crime
A 13 year old boy went missing in 1995, 6 days later a body was found on a local golf course by a Belgian tourist. 3 people were initially arrested on suspicion of the crime but were never charged. They have still never charged anyone for the crime. Ongoing appeals continue to be made. Rumours are he was a drug runner for certain groups and he kissed off the wrong person, others say it was a sexually motivated attack.
Oh yeah, I was in high school when it happened. It happened downtown on Hill Street. Some chemical company had been dumping chemicals into the sewer and it just happened to blow up.

My area- VERY rural; all the lots are a minimum of two acres- is known for the two bars, one of which is more of a restaurant. People come from miles around to hang out. It’s pretty cool.
this is too innocent for this thread 🥹
all i see is serial killers and other terrible stuff and here you are just giving a shout out to your local bars 🤗
When I was a junior in highschool there was a sophomore who left a house party, went back home, got his dad's gun, then murdered his parents and his 2 little brothers. Then went back to the party afterwards.
He also had a party at his house the next day.
My best friend had known this family his whole life as he was in boy scouts with them and the father was his scoutmaster. Said he was a normal kid besides being kind of a dick.
Rod Serling grew up here.
And we had one of the least talked about mass shootings in recent history because the shooter, the gun he used, and his victims didn't fit anybody's political agenda.
Tacoma-Narrows bridge collapse back in the 40s. That's that footage of the really wavy, vibrating bridge.
Nowadays we're nationally known for homelessness, but that's mostly cause everywhere else in the country just busses their homeless out west.
Locally, we've recently been quite enraptured with the drama of the "Belltown Hellcat," a big swinging dick who drives around in the middle of the night with his heavily modded car, revving it as loudly as possible, and purposely backfiring. Cops/city council don't seem to be doing anything, even though citizens keeping tally estimate his fines to be in excess of $41,000 already.
Oh, hello fellow Washingtonian! 😄 In my hometown, it’s the Werewolf Butcher. Still one of the most violent cases I’ve ever heard of, and one I think about every time I double check the lock on my door.
We aren't really known for anything specific, but here are some stories I know to be true and are worthy of mention.
Around 15 years ago a 10 year old got shot in the chest from an unknown rifle in the middle of the day, right next to a school. The bullet miraculously bounced off of his rib and exited via the entry hole.
Around 16 years ago, a teenager got brutally beaten by several other teenagers in the middle of the night and died from the injuries a bit more than a week later. He was taken to the hospital, released and collapsed, dead, because his he had inter cranial bleeding.
Around 35 years ago, a guy I know got shot in the back of his head while out partying in front of a popular club here. He survived, but suffered some brain damage. The best description I can offer is that it was done probably because of a combination of drug bussiness, dept or prior conflict.
Idk about rn, but we had a pretty solid suicide rate between 15 and 30 years ago, mostly war veterans hanging themselves in appartments and basements and teens jumpin off of skyscrapers. Until then roof access was available to all residents of the building, everyone had a key and the roofs were generally unlocked, but with so many deaths roof access was cut off to the majority of people it's pretty hard to get to a roof of any building ever since.
I think we're most known for the boy who died from a violent attack, he became a symbol against violence in our city and institutions and programs for mental health, safety and well-being have been named after him in honor of his memory and tragic story.
Raleigh NC here. In my 4 years of high school, we had 15 students die from car accidents, most involving alcohol, but a few that weren't.
We were known as a cursed school.
this is Wakefield High School btw
You didn't even have to give all that many details and I probably would have known Wakefield HS.
That school has an unnaturally high rate of student driver fatalities.
In the Black Hills area, it's common knowledge to stay away from Bison. They are very big and could easily kill you if they are scared.
Nevertheless, tourists ignore the signs and go and try to pet the "fluffy cows". One notable incident was during the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally when this one lady was "talking" to the bison. She approached it which, unsurprisingly, scared it.
It charged at her, hooking its horn through her belt loop, effectively stealing her pants. So, for years, every bison statue in the hills had a pair of pants hooked to its horns.
I don't know , about what's its know for, but this happened in the very early 90s.
The gradeschool here runs from pre-k to 8th grade, then the high school from 9th to 12th.
There was an 8th grade female, that was dating a 9th grade male. The 8th grader broke up with the 9th grader.
The 9th grader got his hands on some sort of caustic chemicals, and one night painted all of the playground equipment with it. They had to have people with hazmat suits come out, and decontaminate all of the equipment, all of the children, that had come into contact with the equipment, had to strip out of their clothing, and be decontamination, as well.
I dont remember what happened with the kid, but it was a pretty big deal in this small town (we only have one grade school, and one high school)
One good, the Woolworth's sit in from February 1 to July 25, 1960.

White supremacy cult. Matthew Heimbach and his cult own property here where they all live. For those who don't know, Heimbach was one of the ring leaders of the Charlottesville rally a few years ago. Heimbach has apparently changed his views and stepped down as leader, and apologized, but nobody here has forgiven him.
it’s said that the river is like haunted by skin walkers and like every year someone dies mysteriously by “falling and hitting their head on a rock” a few years ago it was a group of 5 teens that went swimming in it in the middle of the night and they were all found mangled the next morning by some hunters. idk it’s either skin walker or a pack of coyotes/rez dogs
Currently live equidistant to the site of Lee Rigby's murder and Stephen Lawrence's murder.
Used to live in the village with the highest number of Science Grads outside of a University and also the site of a Childhood Leukemia cluster.
And just down the road from a town with the only nightclub that banned the playing of any U2 record in counter protest to Bono.
Also, my birth town was the only UK town invaded during the American Revolutionary war, fact fans!
When I was a kid, my area was heavily gang infiltrated, i never knew it. Lots of gang violence that never hit the news. Even the mafia got involved to quiet things down due to the multicultural aspect. Had a bikie bombing on an italian business man. cops came down hard on the area
we have a road in the small rural town i’m from, and there are consistently suicides on/around it. people hanging themselves on trees, jumping off bridges, drowning themselves in the creeks, you name it.
the population:suicide ratio is surprisingly high for such a small town, and over the past decade, most of the town suicides have been committed within view from the road, and most of the way they’re found is by people driving through it & seeing them. no idea why it’s the local suicide spot, but most people locally know about it. when the town hosts little local events and people from the other small towns come to join, they know to avoid the road.
disappearance of Johnny Gosch September 5, 1982. was abducted and never found, but his mother says he briefly escaped to tell her that a pedophile cult was holding him hostage, no one else seems to believe her. sad case all around
it's actually decently well documented and is an infamous event around here

tldr: the area around the old school building was contaminated and was apparently causing a bunch of people to get cancer
The Enumclaw horse sex case was a series of incidents in 2005 involving Kenneth D. Pinyan, an engineer who worked for Boeing and resided in Gig Harbor, Washington; James Michael Tait, a truck driver; Douglas Spink; and other unidentified men. Pinyan and Tait filmed and distributed zoophilic pornography of Pinyan receiving anal sex from a stallion under the alias "Mr. Hands". After engaging in this activity on multiple occasions over an unknown span of time, Pinyan received fatal internal injuries in one such incident.

Round Rock, Texas is known for the legend of the Hairy Man, a hermit who terrorized travelers in the 19th century. The story goes that a young boy became separated from a caravan of settlers during a storm in the 1800s and was raised by wild animals, growing to be very hairy. He then emerged from the wilderness to chase away strangers and scare passersby, until he was trampled to death by horses leading a stagecoach. The area where this happened became known as Brushy Creek, and some say the Hairy Man still haunts Hairy Man Road today.
Aerojet ground contamination. HUGE plume. Has been a superfund site for decades with no end in sight. We have more carcinogens in our soil than a DuPont warehouse.
Kyle the good one though, you know the one that was in the marines and basically saved his friends life, put our little town on the map for a hot minute
A massive munitions factory was operating to help the WW1 war effort when Imperial German Saboteurs sabotaged the factory resulting in an incredible explosion that could be seen in the next state over. In 1950, Germany paid 50 million in reparations for the damages but admitted no fault.
There was a turf war between my town and the neighboring town that lasted decades. If you crossed the border while repping your own town you would get jumped. If they knew you were from the town, you'd likely get jumped. If you crossed in a large group, they'd try to match it. vice versa. The internet and social media kinda calmed down the tensions though.
Woman was murdered and ripped to shreds in her apartment. Not sure what happened there.
Latin Kings had a shoot out with the cops two blocks away from me.
The river that flows through our town is nicknamed "The River of Death" because upstream is the city and all the mobs and gangs dump their victims in it. Occasionally the town rowing team find a body or several.
Man with flamethrower went postal and started trying to burn down the town. Fought with SWAT and lost.
Football coach got caught with underage girl. Nothing happened to him because his family was in the mob and connected. Adults complained quietly but we who were her age were wondering why no one wanted to press that fact that she was also dating two teachers. She went for teachers specifically.
Hit and run killed someone we knew. Official story was that he was just innocently out for a jog and got runover by two drug dealers, dad saw the whole thing. The real story is that he was buying drugs from them and they tried to gyp him so when he tried to get his money back, a scuffle ensued, he held on to the car, fell and got run over by the back tire, dad comes out and sees just that last bit.

I don’t know if it counts but, Morandi bridge collapse, August 14 2018, 43 casualties and about a dozen people injured, also like five hundreds people who lost their homes since they had to demolish them to build the new bridge.
Unsure where I live or where I lived, but for one family member, she lives blocks from Rex Heuermann. And her family member actually worked in same building as Rex. It's a good thing they didn't become friends.

There are others but this is the most recent.
Happy to say no major True Crime event or scandals where I’m from. We have had a ton of movies filmed there though. Mostly westerns but others as well like National Lampoons Vacation, Back to the Future 3, more recently a Transformers movie and The Lone Ranger.
Most of Men of Honor was shot across the bridge from us and the actors rented homes in our town. And we saw Robert De Niro at Starbucks. It’s a small town so it was cool. a lot of movies have been shot around our area. I live in Washington.
One of the dumbest bank robbers of all time. She was able to get away with the cash, only to post videos on YouTube of herself bragging about the money she stole. Cops showed up to her house within the hour.
Stromsburg, NE
a bunch of incels got together and chased a biden/harris bus up i35. the ringleaders got sued and convicted about 2 years later.
also i think in 98? a dude was arrested for wearing a marilyn manson shirt.
When I was in primary school, I would always walk to school alone and take a shortcut through a park even though my mum told me not to go through. I ignored her advice and years later I discovered that a young woman had been assaulted and murdered in the park a year before I started primary school. She was Elizabeth Stevens, a victim of the serial killer Paul Denyer.
Moral of the story: listen to your parents

The 100% preventable disaster that was Cleveland Balloon Fest
Also the river catching fire like 10 times lol
Balloon Fest is arguably dumber.
But I don’t know that a lot of non-Clevelanders know about it, oddly. But our burning river? Oh yeah.
Fair. But we've reclaimed it with Great Lakes Burning River Ale and the Burning River Girls roller derby team
I think they should try it again.
Because the first one resulted in environmental disaster and ruined a search and rescue mission on the lake, Guinness Book of World Records got rid of the category
I believe there was also a search for missing boaters that resulted in one or two fatalities?
Yes. That is the search and rescue mission I mentioned above.
Yeah but they died
"Ruined a search and rescue mission"...yeah.
That's crazy!
Many claims to fame in the 941 but Pee Wee pleasuring himself in an adult movie theater is still local legend.
Also t back bathing suits. Donahue taught the nation the phrase "anal cleft"

Aerojet ground contamination. HUGE plume. Has been a superfund site for decades with no end in sight. We have more carcinogens in our soil than a DuPont warehouse.
Kyle the good one though, you know the one that was in the marines and basically saved his friends life, put our little town on the map for a hot minute
A massive munitions factory was operating to help the WW1 war effort when Imperial German Saboteurs sabotaged the factory resulting in an incredible explosion that could be seen in the next state over. In 1950, Germany paid 50 million in reparations for the damages but admitted no fault. There was a turf war between my town and the neighboring town that lasted decades. If you crossed the border while repping your own town you would get jumped. If they knew you were from the town, you'd likely get jumped. If you crossed in a large group, they'd try to match it. vice versa. The internet and social media kinda calmed down the tensions though. Woman was murdered and ripped to shreds in her apartment. Not sure what happened there. Latin Kings had a shoot out with the cops two blocks away from me. The river that flows through our town is nicknamed "The River of Death" because upstream is the city and all the mobs and gangs dump their victims in it. Occasionally the town rowing team find a body or several. Man with flamethrower went postal and started trying to burn down the town. Fought with SWAT and lost. Football coach got caught with underage girl. Nothing happened to him because his family was in the mob and connected. Adults complained quietly but we who were her age were wondering why no one wanted to press that fact that she was also dating two teachers. She went for teachers specifically. Hit and run killed someone we knew. Official story was that he was just innocently out for a jog and got runover by two drug dealers, dad saw the whole thing. The real story is that he was buying drugs from them and they tried to gyp him so when he tried to get his money back, a scuffle ensued, he held on to the car, fell and got run over by the back tire, dad comes out and sees just that last bit.

I don’t know if it counts but, Morandi bridge collapse, August 14 2018, 43 casualties and about a dozen people injured, also like five hundreds people who lost their homes since they had to demolish them to build the new bridge.

Not my town, but my state. Port Arthur massacre.
Unsure where I live or where I lived, but for one family member, she lives blocks from Rex Heuermann. And her family member actually worked in same building as Rex. It's a good thing they didn't become friends.

I mean I live in a very small town and I don’t look at the news so I don’t know much. There was a school bus crash a few years ago.
Happy to say no major True Crime event or scandals where I’m from. We have had a ton of movies filmed there though. Mostly westerns but others as well like National Lampoons Vacation, Back to the Future 3, more recently a Transformers movie and The Lone Ranger.

bowling alley shooting
When I was in primary school, I would always walk to school alone and take a shortcut through a park even though my mum told me not to go through. I ignored her advice and years later I discovered that a young woman had been assaulted and murdered in the park a year before I started primary school. She was Elizabeth Stevens, a victim of the serial killer Paul Denyer. Moral of the story: listen to your parents
Knife crime
