44 Seemingly Normal Photos That Hide Shocking Secrets Behind the Scenes
The saddest one that I’ve come across is a photo of two divers smiling together at the camera on the Great Barrier Reef. In the background, another diver can be seen laying limp on the seabed, with somebody swimming to their rescue. The diver on the reef is Tina Watson, who died before they even resurfaced. If I can remember correctly, multiple witnesses said her partner had bear-hugged her before she began to sink, realizing only later that he had most likely purposefully disconnected her breathing apparatus. He was charged with m**der, but never convicted, as the case collapsed. He was convicted for manslaughter (to which he pleaded guilty) and was sentenced to 4.5 years (under Australian law).
Edit: I previously did not realize that the case is still classed as unresolved, and wrote that her husband was not convicted after the m**der charge was dropped instead of his conviction of manslaughter.
This one of Steven Stayner giving Timmy White a piggyback ride always pulls at my heart strings.
He was kidnapped by convicted child m*lester Kenneth Parnell and repeatedly ab*sed for nearly 7 years. But when he got too old, Parnell kidnapped 5 year old Timmy White. Steven couldn’t stand the idea of another kid going through the hell that he suffered, so the next chance he got he carried him on his back and walked through the freezing snow to a police station. The boys were each reunited with their families.
