"Horror Nursery Rhymes" are alive
Retired Sheriff of Texas, Usa, SybendS, is a lover of "horror nursery rhymes." In July 2006, the click rate of a strange case website in Texas soared. One night, a strange post caught Theimotos' attention.
A strange nursery rhyme appeared on the page: "My mom killed me, my dad was eating me, and my sister sat at the bottom of the table, picked up my bones and buried them under the cold stone tablets." ”
The second half of the post is the poster's annotation to the nursery rhyme: After the death of a boy's mother, his father remarried, and the stepmother brought a girl. One day, the stepmother said to the little boy, "There's an apple in the closet, go and take it out and eat it." Just as the little boy turned, the stepmother cut off the boy's head with an axe. She made the boy soup. The father did not see the boy during the meal, while the girl hid under the table to pick up the bones, which the girl later buried. This nursery rhyme and annotated story immediately made Sybens scalp tingle...
As a researcher of the world's "horror nursery rhymes", West Bens has heard many such examples, and West Bens investigated the IP address of the poster and found that the person was from Marlton, a small town in California that borders Mexico. It would actually be Marton!
Sybens once went to Eurasia and other places with a group of lovers of "horror nursery rhymes" to collect materials, passing through the small town of Marlton. There, he heard about the bizarre serial disappearances that had taken place in the area in recent years, and he still remembers the contents of those news reports.
The next day, a distraught Nishimotos immediately transferred a 1996 case from the police station. According to the data, in February 1996, the old Peak family in Malton Town disappeared one after another within a month, and only his seven-year-old daughter was spared. Through Crassus, an old classmate of the Marton Police Department, West Bensi investigated the IP address of the local proxy server, and finally confirmed that the poster was actually the surviving little daughter Helen.
Explore Marlton again
Sypens came to Marlton again. Marlton is an old, desolate town inhabited mainly by immigrants and stowaways from Mexico and Central America. It is obviously a mixed land of various ethnic groups, and the inhabitants speak both Latin and English. As soon as Nishimoto arrived, he felt strange, and there was an unspeakable mystery and strangeness in this place.
The police officer in charge of the case of the old Peak was Crassus, and the police suspected that this was a criminal case. Because the old Peak family disappeared separately in a month's time, the police eventually had to treat it as a pending case because they did not leave a single clue, while helen, the survivor at the time, was adopted by an orphanage and now works in a local laundromat. The case had a great impact, and the old Peak's house had become a famous "haunted house" in the town, and no one dared to go near it.
Sybens showed Crassus the nursery rhyme helen had posted on the Internet, and Crassus exclaimed, "This is so weird, is there really such a coincidence in the world?" ”
"If it were as the nursery rhyme said, it would be horrible, and if their bodies had been made into food and only the bones remained, it would have been a complex case of aged bones, and it would have been no wonder that the bodies could not have been found in the first place." Maybe that Helen is the final clue!" Nishimoto thought about it.
Sybens and Crassus found Helen. Helen said she just found it funny to write the story on the website: Sybens asked her to recall something from 10 years ago, but Helen said she had forgotten it, and that she only had some memory fragments in her mind that could not be strung together anyway. As for the "Mother Goose Nursery Rhyme" and the annotated story, Helen said that she saw it in an old book at home, and there were many bizarre nursery rhymes in that book, and there was a story under each nursery rhyme as an annotation, and she picked a group and posted it online.
This is certain to Sybens, but Helen's act of posting is by no means so simple. Her amnesia is a neuro-hippocampal memory disorder that occurs under the sudden unexpected blow and strong stimulation. That is to say, Helen must have been stimulated by some kind, and the fragments of her memory and the nursery rhyme had a subconscious resonance, so she posted the nursery rhyme online.
Crassus agreed with Sypens that Helen could have been an eyewitness to the whole affair, and that the key now was to find the bones. The old Peak family, only his original wife left a tombstone. Sybens told Helen his inference, and Helen wanted to retrieve her memories, find out what had happened in her childhood, and agreed to dig a grave.
The fifth man in the grave
The police dug up the graveyard of Old Peak's original wife. The result was terrifying to everyone present, and deep in the tomb, they dug up the bones belonging to five people, which was exactly the same number as the number of dead and missing people in the old Peak family. The police confirmed through the identification of relics that these white bones belonged to the old Peak family. Except for his ex-wife, every bone had marks of sharp blades. The case has a preliminary conclusion: the old Peak family died of corpse killing.
As the police investigation deepened, the strange feeling in Nishimoto's heart became more and more intense, and the horrific killing ground and the explanatory story of the horrific nursery rhyme became more and more similar.
So who killed them and what was the motive? According to the horror nursery rhyme, Nishibens concludes that the murderer is the stepmother, why did she kill the two boys? The next police investigation gave the answer, they extracted the mixed semen spots of her two brothers on Helen's childhood underwear, and they were shocked that there were also DNA spots on them.
Sybens deduces that her stepmother married her young daughter Helen into the Old Peak family, and as a result, Helen was not only gang-raped by her two older brothers, but also sexually assaulted by her stepfather, The Elder Peak. In retaliation, the stepmother killed two stepsons and finally her husband, and the young Helen was the witness to the killing and cannibal tragedy, and possibly even a participant, which caused her brain nerves to be strongly stimulated and she lost her memory.
Although there is some truth in the inference, Based on the current evidence alone, Nibbons's speculation is difficult to hold. With years of research on various strange cases, Xi Bensi suggested that the woman's identity be re-investigated. Sybens and Crassus received a file from The FBI that Lola had sent, which was full of blood.
Creepy truth
According to the data, Rolla was born on a closed island in the Caribbean Sea of Central America. In 1995, Lola emigrated to the United States through smuggling, and after a brief marriage history, she married the elder Peak with her 3-year-old daughter. The archives say that the indigenous people of Lola's hometown were very barbaric, and there was a custom of cannibalism hundreds of years ago. Lola's father was an assistant to a local high priest, so this custom was deeply rooted in Lola's mind.
All indications are that the stepmother has a deep cannibalistic background, which is very consistent with the killing methods at the scene. But Lola's leg bones were also buried in the grave, could it be that she killed herself? For this point, Nishimoto and the detectives are puzzled, is there something else hidden in it?
Nishibens was convinced that the hint of the horror nursery rhyme was right, but how did the stepmother die? Just then, an email from Japan opened Nishimoto Smut.
The sender was his old friend Hiroshi Asami, the chairman of the Japan Society for the Study of "Horror Nursery Rhymes," and Nishimoto had told him in detail about the murder in the small town of Marlton, and Mr. Asami said in an email that the case resembled one of the famous "horror nursery rhymes" and "handball songs" of the Japanese shogunate era. A word awakened the dreamer, and Nishimoto slapped his head and shouted, "We all overlooked an important detail!"
There are many Japanese "handball songs" that have been handed down, the most famous of which is the handball song prophecy of the Izu Peninsula. Legend has it that during the Shogunate era, seven samurai ran to a village after being defeated in battle, and the villagers burned them in a cave in order to get the samurai's treasure. When the samurai first arrived, they taught a little girl a ballad called "Handball Song". After that, whenever the little girl sang this nursery rhyme, a villager would die, and from then on, the nursery rhyme became a terrible prophecy and curse. What really inspired Nishimoto was the ending of the story. The fact is that there was a samurai who did not die, he cut off his own arm, and together with the stumps of his companions, he pieced together 7 people, concealed the villagers who examined the corpses, in fact, only six people died, and he himself secretly killed the villagers to avenge his companions.
The same is true of Marlton's murder, which was a misunderstanding from the start. After finding their stepmother's leg bone in the grave, they took it for granted that she was dead too. In fact, Lola may not have died at all, and after she killed someone, she cut off her leg and buried her in the grave, and then left her daughter to go unpunished, so that she could explain the whole case.
Police investigated records of outpatient surgical leg injuries at national hospitals in 1996 and finally found out where Lola was hiding. By this time, Lola had already assumed the pseudonym Corlia and was married to an engineer in Arizona. Faced with the police who fell from the sky, Lola was relieved. After confessing all the crimes, Lola asks the police to keep it a secret from her daughter, so that Helen can grow up healthy forever in a state of "amnesia", and she does not want her daughter to know that she has a murderous and cannibalistic perverted mother. Police granted her request, and the case ended in a secret trial and sentencing.
The famous British mystery novel writer Agatha Christie also wrote a very famous "Nursery Rhyme Murder":
Ten Little Indian Boys, running for food;
Choking to death one can not save, ten only nine left.
Nine Indian little boys, sleepless late at night are really sleepy;
Fall asleep and sleep to death, only eight of the nine remain.
Eight Little Indian Boys, going hunting in Devon;
Leaving one life and returning to the west, only seven of the eight remained.
Seven Indian boys, cutting trees and cutting down branches is not easy;
The axe split two halves and one life, leaving only six of the seven.
Six Indian boys, playing with the hive to provoke bee wrath;
Flying a stinging whimper, only five of the six remained.
Five Indian boys, who are in trouble with lawsuits;
The lawsuit was entangled until death, and only four of the five remained.
Four Indian boys, ganged up at sea and suffered a great disaster;
The bluefish swallowed the bloody spots, and only three of the four remained.
Three Indian boys, suffering in the zoo;
The bear suddenly fell from the sky, and only two of the three remained.
Two little Indian boys, long sighs under the sun;
Sunburned to death and roasted to death, only one of the two remained.
An Indian boy who returned alone;
The hanging beam committed suicide in this life, and there was not a single one left.
