January 5th: Paul Gruber Estimated Time of Death (1994) Sometimes the evidence against someone is so overwhelming there doesn't seem to be a need to look for any other suspects. On January 5th 1994 a man went missing or, in the case of some of the timelines, was likely killed. A case in which there was only really ever one suspect because of the immense amount of evidence pointing in his direction. https://www.sportskeeda.com/pop-culture/who-suspect-charged-paul-gruber-s-murder-details-explored-ahead-a-body-basement-id, https://www.spokesman.com/stories/1997/may/01/thats-a-lie-murder-suspect-shouts-from-court/, https://www.spokesman.com/stories/1997/may/02/kuehl-found-guilty-of-murdering-ex-teacher/, https://www.savvyforensic.com/2023/06/case-study-paul-gruber-murder-case.html, https://www.sportskeeda.com/pop-culture/a-body-basement-id-how-paul-gruber-s-disappearance-first-noticed, https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/193888901/paul_william-gruber, https://caselaw.findlaw.com/court/id-court-of-appeals/1309049.html#:~:text=The%20investigation%20into%20Gruber's%20disappearance,the%20likely%20cause%20of%20death.

On January 2nd 1981 a woman was attacked inside her home and, due in large part to the complete randomness of the crime, it remains unsolved to this day. https://www.wthitv.com/archive/police-continue-to-investigate-40-year-old-unsolved-sullivan-county-murder/article_fbbcf766-c6bd-54b9-87a0-29bc24bc88d8.html, https://wibc.com/123263/the-jeanette-benson-case-how-you-could-help-solve-a-murder/, https://www.wishtv.com/news/indiana-news/cold-case-police-in-sullivan-county-seek-leads-in-1980s-murder/, https://www.sullivan-times.com/news/investigators-continue-to-ask-for-public-s-help-in-sarah-jeanette-benson-murder/article_eee62520-6d9d-11ec-b951-fbb03121209b.html, https://www.wthitv.com/news/sullivan-county-cold-case-murder-goes-unsolved-for-43-years/article_118371a6-aa72-11ee-bc8d-db947e34d333.html, https://fox59.com/news/new-details-on-farmersburg-murder-case-42-years-later/, https://www.wrtv.com/news/local-news/crime/indiana-sheriffs-office-releases-photos-of-shoes-possibly-worn-by-suspect-in-1981-unsolved-murder Learn more about your ad choices.

December 30th: Anthony Barbaro Kills (1974) Not all school shooters fit the profile we've made up in our heads. The one fed to us by Hollywood, the media and, in some cases, actual real life experience. On December 30th 1974 a young man walked into a school armed and ready to pull the trigger. A boy who didn't really fit the profile of a school shooter in the same way we've come to expect. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1974_Olean_High_School_shooting, https://www.nytimes.com/1974/12/31/archives/3-killed-and-9-wounded-by-an-upstate-sniper-18-3-killed-and-9.html, https://murderpedia.org/male.B/b/barbaro-anthony.htm, https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/81616968/anthony-f-barbaro Learn more about your ad choices.

December 25th: Harry and Harriette Moore Killed (1951) Standing up and doing what is right has a long and unfortunate history of placing a target on people's back. On December 25th 1951 a couple who spent decades fighting for civil rights found themselves the victims of a horrific attack.

December 24th: Robert LeCompte Killed (2009) A red herring can completely throw off a case. On December 24th 2009 a man was brutally slain in a place where, up until that moment, he felt safe and welcome. A case where, with one small clue, the motive was muddled into something totally different. https://www.vanityfair.com/style/society/2014/01/murder-drama-club-louisiana, https://www.oxygen.com/murdered-by-morning/crime-news/jorell-young-stabbed-lgbtq-bayou-bar-manager-robert-lecompte, https://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/feb/22/drama-club-blazed-trail-for-houmas-gay-community/ Learn more about your ad choices.
