And why she shot her 38-year-old boyfriend’s wife.
Amy Fisher was sixteen years old when she fell in love with a 38-year-old man. Amy was born on August 24, 1974. She didn’t have a great childhood and was constantly trying to get her dad’s attention and validation (Which he never seemed to give her). This may have lead to teenage Amy seeking the attention of a much older man.

The case of Nannie Doss
Early life
Nannie Doss was born in Blue Mountain, Alabama in 1905. She had four siblings and was close with her mother. However, her father was a controlling and unkind man.

To most, the idea of harming a child is unthinkable. But what happens when someone believes that hurting their kid is the ‘right thing’ to do? In the case of Dena Schlosser, we see how a combination of toxic religion and mental illness can lead to unthinkable actions.
Schlosser’s life before the murder

The case of John Allen.
Born June 11th, 1934, Allen grew up in Bournemouth in England. Very little is known about Allen’s childhood, but a few reports noted that he had always been a liar.
In the 1950s, Allen married his first wife, Monica. Once again, not much was known about the marriage or about this time of Allen’s life. It wasn’t until 1966 that Allen started to get unwanted attention when he was caught stealing money from his workplace. His life went downhill from there.
His faked suicide attempt and criminal history
Instead of facing the consequences of his actions, Allen faked his own death. Allen went to Beachy Head in…
