Chopped Up Body In The Basement? Who Is She?

Sunday, Dec. 2, 2018:  Grand Rapids, Mich. police responded to a report of  "a suspicious activity involving possible foul play" in the 900-block of Franklin SE at 4:30pm EST. It's not the worst neighborhood in this West Michigan, but it's not the worst, either. Lots of two-story wooden homes dating back to World War Two. Plenty of renters, and enough crime to keep the cops busy 24/7. This crime is going to be one of more interesting in recent memory.

After waiting hours for a warrant, officers carefully go into a large home converted into a couple of relatively inexpensive apartments. It doesn't take long to dial up this investigation from "suspicious activity" and "possible foul play" to something much, much worse.

Officers discover a couple of human body parts just outside a stairway to Apartment #2, the home of Jared James Chance. Inside Jared's apartment detectives find "several areas of blood" and "articles that could have been used to dismember a human body" along with some bloody rags and bottles of cleaning solutions.

Now, as for that body, Shocking True Crime readers, where's the rest of it? Police find it in the basement of the structure. Chance was arrested, Sunday, and charged with the mutilation of a dead body, and that is probably just the beginning of the charges that could put Jared James Chance behind bars for the rest of his life.

Tuesday, Dec. 4, 2018:  The GRPD is back in the neighborhood, looking into a dumpster. Looking for more evidence? You can bet on it. And they must have found something. A GRPD truck took the dumpster way after it was wrapped in plastic.

Now then, the body. Who is it, or better put, who was it? 

Nobody knows, at least not at the time this article was written.
But dear Shocking True Crime readers, here's a clue we can't ignore: a woman described as an "acquaintance" Jared's was last seen with our suspect Nov. 30 and has not been seen since.
Could she be the victim? More to come, I am sure

Smile and Say, 'Cheese!' Politician Accused of Blackmailing Lover With Naked Photo

Photo by Jonathan Wards on Unsplash

Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens (R) admitted cheating on his wife but steadfastly denied his ex-lover’s accusation that he told her to strip naked, taped her to some exercise equipment, took a photo and threatened to send the picture viral if she talked about their affair.

But St. Louis City Circuit Attorney Kimberly Gardner announced Jan. 11 that her office would investigate the blackmail charge.

“The serious allegations against Missouri Governor Eric Greitens are very troubling,” Gardner said in a statement. “It is essential for residents of the City of St. Louis and our state to have confidence in their leaders.”

St. Louis TV station KMOV broke the story shortly after receiving a recording, provided by Greitens’ ex-lover’s ex-husband, in which the woman details their affair.

The ex-husband told KMOV the recording was made a few days after Greitens and she made love for the first time. On the tape, the woman, who has not been named by KMOV, described Greitens’ actions as “terrible and disgusting.”

But the woman, who was at Greitens’ home to cut his hair the first time they had sex, also said on the recording that, “This (expletive) tornado just happened. I know I brought it on myself.”

What she didn’t know was that her now ex-husband was recording her confession.

She described in detail how Greitens got her into position for a nude photo.

 "He said: ‘I'll make you feel better. I'll make you feel good. Come downstairs. I want to show you how to do a proper pull-up,’” the woman said. “And I knew he was being sexual and I still let him. And he used some sort of tape, I don't what it was, and taped my hands to these rings and then put a blindfold on me.”

"I didn't even know. I feel like I don't even know. I was just numb. I just stood there and didn't (expletive) know,” she continued. “He stepped back, I saw a flash through the blindfold and he said: ‘you're never going to mention my name, otherwise there will be pictures of me everywhere.’”

James Bennett, an attorney for Greitens, said the “source” for the story was actually a former Missouri Democratic Party chairman.

“This goes a long way to explaining what is going on — this is a political hit piece,” Bennett said in a statement.

“There was no blackmail and that claim is false,” Bennett also said. “This personal matter has been addressed by the Governor and Mrs. Greitens privately years ago when it happened.  The outrageous claims of improper conduct regarding these almost three-year-ago events are false.”

Unfortunately for Greitens, Bennett’s assurances may not be enough.

Why not?

Myra Hindley loved children. Myra Hindley killed children. Did Myra Hindley fall in love with the wrong man, a violent man, who fantasized about killing children? There is no doubt that Ian Brady was evil. But perhaps he was merely sleeping with the devil.

Perhaps Myra was always meant to be a woman who was a serial killer, a female serial killer who preyed upon children. She and Ian did kill children. They did it for the fun of it. Ian got off on it. He loved the sex and so did Myra.They were sick. They were psychopaths. And they did it for love.

German Police Use iPhone's Health App to Solve Murder

From the New York Post:

In something of a bizarre story, the Health app on Apple’s iPhone may play a pivotal role in definitively proving who raped and murdered a young medical student in Germany late last year. 

As detailed by the BBC, German authorities already have a suspect in custody, a man who we only know by Hussein K. 

As the story goes, Hussein K has already admitted his involvement, though some details regarding the murder still remain fuzzy. Incidentally, Hussein K refused to provide the pin code of his iPhone.

Of all the gruesome, Shocking True Crime Stories I have seen, this has to rank among the worst. We have all heard of mothers who kill children. One of my best-selling books is the story of a woman who killed one of her kids everytime she and her husband fought.

Mommy Deadliest: A Shocking True Crime Story of a Murdering Mother tells the tale of a woman who committed the worst crimes imaginable.

But this story out of Oklahoma raises the bar. It's the case of a woman who killed her daughter by beating her bloody and ramming a crucifix down her throat as part of an exorcism to "rid Satan from her daughter's body."
