Danny Lloyd on the set of The Shining. At the time, aged five, he had no idea The Shining was a horror film – Kubrick decided not to tell him. Instead, young Danny thought that he was a minor character in a soap opera following a dysfunctional family who lived in a hotel.

Ted Kaczynski in Montana in the early 1970s. Although he hadn’t sent any bombs yet, he was growing more paranoid and isolative.

The bloodstains on Charles Starkweather’s shirt in his iconic arrest photos are from minor cuts he received on his earlobe and hand when the police shot out and shattered the rear windshield of Starkweather’s getaway car during a high speed chase. Once he realized he was bleeding though, he suddenly halted the car in the middle of the road because he thought he’d been mortally wounded and was afraid of bleeding to death. He surrendered to the authorities moments later.

“He was charming, glib, intelligent, articulate, successful. I can’t understand how he came to be so monstrous. He is the poster boy for American psychopathy. A seducer. An arrogant, manipulative seducer. Charming, even when he is talking about the most terrible things…..he talks about it in a soothing manner. Frightening.“

Mikelle Biggs: Gone in 90 Seconds

The sound of an ice cream truck approaching lured Mikelle Biggs (11) and her sister Kimber (9 at the time) from their home in Mesa, Arizona, at around 5:50 pm of January 2nd, 1999. Mikelle was riding Kimber’s bike, with the two quarters her mother gave her in her hand, and the two girls were waiting outside their house for the truck to come. But it was taking longer than expected, so Kimber went back inside to get a coat. By the time she came out again, 90 seconds later, the bike was laying on its side on the sidewalk, the wheels still spininng. The quarters were also dropped on the ground. Mikelle was gone, and no one had seen anything.

The search for Mikelle was one of the biggest Mesa has ever seen. Police received 10,000 tips, gathered over 800 pieces of evidence and had hundreds of volunteers helping to find the little girl, but they were unsuccessful. And to this day, no one can say for sure what happened to her.

As it often happens, initially the investigation focused on Mikelle’s father, Darien. He had been having an affair, and police discovered that he wasn’t at work at the time of Mikelle’s vanishing, as he’d told his wife, but at a friend’s house. However, it made no sense he would take his daughter in such a way. It was clear to police, as they later explained, that Mikelle had tried to ran away from someone before being abducted. Eventually, after a year of surveillance, Darien Biggs was cleared of suspicion.

Many, including Mikelle’s family, believe the man responsible for her going missing is Dee Blalock, who lived with his wife and three kids two blocks away from the Biggs. Blalock was infamous for his drunk tirades, but unbeknownst to his neighbors, he also had prior convictions for sexual assault. He became a person of interest after he brutally assaulted and raped another neighbor, an adult woman, on September 27, 1999. She barely survived, and he was sentenced to 187 years for the attack. However, he has denied having anything to do with Mikelle’s disappearance and his wife supported his alibi that he was at home at the time she was abducted.

Mikelle’s case has recently gained renewed interest after a one dollar bill, pictured above, was found in March 2018 in Wisconsin, with the message “My name is Mikel Biggs (sic) kidnapped from Mesa AZ I’m Alive” written on its border. Police are aware that it’s likely a hoax, as there have been other false clues that have confused the investigation over the years, but they have vowed to take it into proper consideration anyway.
