A coincidence is defined as a series of events and circumstances which seemingly have no apparent connection to each other, but wind up being related by pure chance. Whenever a mysterious crime takes place, investigators will attempt to solve it by piecing together the events and circumstances surrounding the case. However, complications can ensue when a coincidence enters the picture. An investigation can be seriously hampered when one is forced to look into events which, at first glance, appear to be connected to the crime but turn out to be nothing more than a bizarre coincidence. In many of these cases, the coincidence had no direct connection to the crime but made for an interesting “story-within-a-story.”

A home invasion can be one of the most terrifying crimes a person can fall victim to, as home is a place where you are supposed to be safe. Having someone enter your sanctuary is a horrifying thought and, once they are inside, there are many horrible things that could happen. It’s such a terrifying crime that entire industries, like home security companies, are built off that fear. It’s also one of the reasons laws like the Castle Doctrine are in place. It’s so terrifying that this doctrine can sometimes allow you to kill someone if they enter your house without your permission. However, the good news is that the crime is pretty rare.

In response to the article 8 Cases Of Selfies Prior To Death

Tragic images of people in their final moments.

For a millennia, the last words spoken by people before their death have been considered to be of high importance or significance, as they represent the final mark they leave on the living world. Today, with the prevalence of technology and media, it’s not wholly uncommon for a person’s final moments to be captured visually. Live broadcasts, mobile phone pictures and even photos taken by the victims themselves have all managed to capture people in the final seconds of life. A high number of these occurrences have taken place with regards to celebrities or other famous figures, who are more likely to have a camera on them at any given time. In certain bizarre cases, it was actually the taking of the photo that caused the death in the first place, granting an even greater sense of melancholy to the resulting image.

This list takes a look at 17 truly haunting photos that chronicle the very final moments of people’s lives, whether they were aware of that fact or not. Please note that some of these entries may contain disturbing content, and may upset more sensitive readers.

1. The Australian woman who killed her ex-husband and served him as dinner for his kids

The first Australian woman to be sentenced to a natural life term without parole, Katherine Knight had a history of violence in relationships. She mashed the dentures of one of her ex-husbands and slashed the throat of another husband's eight-week-old puppy before his eyes. A heated relationship with John Charles Thomas Price became public knowledge with an "Apprehended Violence Order" that Price had filed against Knight. She stabbed Mr. Price 37 times with a butcher's knife before skinning him and hanging his hide from a meat hook in their lounge room back in 2000. She then decapitated him and put his head in a pot on the stove, baked flesh from his buttocks, and cooked vegetables and gravy as side dishes to serve to Mr. Price's children. Thankfully, police found the macabre dinner before the children arrived home.

Cars, smartphones, jewelry and cash are among the many valuable items most people expect thieves to target. As a result, Americans take precautions to keep such possessions safe. Not many, however, would think to lock up their Nutella, pregnancy tests or Tide laundry detergent. Yet, these everyday, ordinary household products are among the most commonly stolen goods. Some stolen items seem unusual because their value is not easily visible. For example, thieves steal catalytic converters for the platinum. Frank Scafidi of the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) gave the example of manhole covers, as well as a variety of other metal objects, that are often stolen to be resold as scrap metal. Incidents of these kinds of theft have risen considerably, likely due to the rising price of metals like copper, and platinum.

Forensics have certainly come a long way. It all began as merely identifying fingerprints visible to the naked eye (back in ole BC), but has evolved into an essential crime-fighting giant with tens of subdivisions and even entire schools dedicated to those pursuing a job in forensic science. Forensic science can do fancy science tricks akin to those previously only seen in sci-fi movies. The future is now! Crimes can be solved just by examining insects or plant life at the scene, microscopic marks on a bullet can be examined to discover details about a murder, and even astronomy can be used to decipher previously unknown details about classic works of art. Here are six of the weirdest branches of forensic science that will blow your mind and your chances of committing the perfect crime.

As world’s population increased disproportionally to the resources, a competition began between the races and more specifically between human beings. They compete for their rights, they compete for their food and they competed for wealth. In this competition, some illegal methods were used and that was the beginning of the controversial businesses around the world. It is a basic rule that whenever there are more people and few resources then there would be a competition between them for their rights, and in this competition many people follow a way that is relatively easier, but illegal. In present day society, when world has become a global village, there are many professions still present that you can say illegal.

Of all the most heinous and revered crimes fathomable, it would seem that cannibalism is very near the top of the pile. The act of orally consuming a member of one’s own species, cannibalism is a concept most un-orthodox with human beings. While many of the creatures with which we share this Earth see little problem in eating a friend, associate or family member, if not purely in the name of survival, we humans hold a prolonged and immovable dissatisfaction with the idea. Well, for the most part. Throughout history both ancient and contemporary there have been several cases involving human cannibalism, usually alongside murder, which I suppose is unsurprising. Aside from myths of cannibalistic indigenous tribes of the Pacific and the Amazon, there are a string of recorded cannibalistic acts, and their prime culprits, which we may draw upon in order to compose this list. Each one selected possesses a back story which I feel to be worthy of noting, though I’ll be first to admit that they all kinda do end in the same way…

Certain prisons, both old and new, are notorious for violence and some easily out perform others in the horror stories stakes. The 10 worst prisons in the world are listed below. Read ‘em and weep!

As procedural drama TV shows have taught us, every conviction in the U.S. justice system is the product of meticulous DNA testing and forced sexual tension among the detectives. But what happens when the prosecution screws up and the wrong man ends up in jail? Usually they apologize, set the man free, and try to help everyone move on with their lives, like the mature, responsible grown-ups they are. Haha, just kidding - it's actually physically impossible for people in authority positions to admit they're wrong, which is why we get situations like ...

Last week, the German Motoring program GRIP asked the very important question: What’s the best getaway car for a robbery? They only pitted 3 cars against each other, trying to escape the police, who were driving a BMW 135i. It was a good question, because a key element to any heist is the getaway vehicle. Will you need a van, or will a Mazda Miata suffice? What if the cops show up? We thought it would be more fun to show you the 10 cars we consider contenders for “Best Heist Vehicle.” And because every “job” is different, every car excels in a different way. But whether you’re stealing diamonds from a sheik in the desert or stealing gold bullion from Edward Norton, we’ve got a car to suit your criminal needs.
