44 Seemingly Normal Photos That Hide Shocking Secrets Behind the Scenes
Eventually John snapped. He drove up to Schultz’s home and shot him in front of his family. Schultz died moments later.

Great singer-songwriter whose debut album was phenomenal. He took a swim in a river with steel toe boots on and no one was really keeping an eye on him, next thing you know they couldn’t find him. Got caught under a current from a passing boat I think. Just a tragic accident nothing suspicious about it. It just sucks.

I would like to add that this is a terrible picture of Jeff. He was very handsome. His looks were nothing compared to his talent.
He was beloved to his family. He was friendly with his ex’s and in love with a beautiful girl when he died.
So what happened to Jeff?
He was just in to town to record some music. It was late at night. He decided to jump in the river for a swim.
It was a single roadie keeping an eye on him. The guy was moving some equipment and took his eyes off Jeff for just a few minutes.
He was singing a zeppelin song (idk which) as he swam. Then he was gone, dragged under the water by the wake from a passing barge or tugboat.
His wiki and every article I’ve ever read said nothing about steel toe boots.
One moment he was there, the next gone. His body was found days later, miles away. The world mourned. Artists from every genre paid tribute to him.
Jeff was completely sober when he died. And he was happy. It wasn’t suicide, it was foolishness.
It was all just a cluster fuck of bad decisions that ended in a very tragic accident. 💙
Myra Hindley, on the Saddleworth moors with her dog, Poppet. She is looking down at the grave of John Kilbride, one of her’s, and Ian Brady’s, young victims.
Hindley and Brady used to take photos hinting to the gravesites of their child victims, and when their crimes came to light, these pictures were used to help find the bodies.
This photo was found on a damaged camera that had gone through the washing machine at the home of Travis Alexander. The next few shots show Alexander bleeding on the bathroom floor, minutes after being attacked. The photos were taken by Jodi Arias, Alexander’s girlfriend, and the one above just minutes before she stabbed and shot him.
“He sustained 27 st*b wounds, a slit throat, and a g*nshot wound to the head. Medical examiner Kevin Horn would later testify that Alexander’s jugular vein, common carotid artery, and trachea had been slashed and that he had defensive wounds on his hands. Horn further testified that Alexander might have been dead at the time the g*nshot was inflicted and that the back wounds were shallow.”
You may never have heard of Pogo the Clown, pictured above, but when the paint comes off he was better known as John Wayne Gacy, serial k*ller and r*pist in the 1970s. When he wasn’t appearing as a clown at children’s birthday parties, Gacy was s*xually ass*ulting and m**dering over 30 young males in just over 6 years. He became known as “The K**ler Clown” and was sentenced to death in 1980.
The My Lai villagers picture. might not fit exactly since the picture shows the terrorized villagers right before they were gunned down, so not exactly seemingly normal. but, one often overlooked aspect is the young woman buttoning her shirt, which is interpreted as evidence that she was r**ed right before the photo.

This is horrible. I don’t know why America joined that war. The actions of those soldiers is disgusting, and should be remembered so it never happens again.
Just a photo of a cute girl, right? This is Genie (not her real name, but that’s what she is called in the public sphere. (Real name was kept secret.) From the time she was an infant, around 20 months old, her father kept her in a single room, strapped down to a potty chair facing the wall. She had no human interaction beyond her parents until the age of 13, when she was rescued.

Studied her in developmental psych. Incredibly sad, but also intriguing.
This is a picture of my wife Silvia when she was a child growing up and living in Romania in the late 70’s.
To me, I can see the beautiful woman she is to become and the future wife and mother she is now.
But at the time the situation was heart-breaking.
Silvia’s mother died due to suspected complications after giving birth to Silvia. Silvia has no memory of her birth mother. Her step-mother was an abusive nightmare of a woman who physically and emotionally beat her and her siblings.
Living in Romania in the 70’s and 80’s during the height of the Cold War was tough. Long lines for basic foods, never knowing if you had enough to feed the family, central heating which was turned off overnight, travel restrictions and secret police always watching.
