    The Forest Maniac - Part II
    2024/09/19
    Alongside the established task force, personnel from the Samara Police Department participated in the search for the serial killer. In an effort to apprehend him in the act, officers disguised as couples were strategically positioned in various locations throughout Samara; however, these efforts yielded no results.

    During the investigation, it was proposed that the perpetrator might be a member of law enforcement, given that the crimes occurred in proximity to several correctional facilities, and one of the victims was found with their hands bound using a trouser belt equipped with handcuffs.

    Subsequently, approximately 1,500 officers were interviewed, leading to the identification of four potential suspects. In April 1997, biological samples, including blood, hair, and clothing from the deceased individuals and the four suspects, were submitted for forensic analysis. By mid-summer of that year, investigators received the results, which indicated that the evidence collected at the crime scenes was linked to 30-year-old Dmitry Viktorovich Voroshilov, a Major of the Internal Service and Chief of Security at a correctional facility near Samara. As a result of this evidence, Voroshilov was apprehended on July 30, 1997. He consistently denied any involvement and maintained his innocence; however, due to the lack of direct connections to the majority of the crimes, he was ultimately charged with two murders and three attempted murders.

    The Forest Maniac - Part I
    2024/09/19
    The moniker Forest Maniac refers to an unidentified serial killer from Russia, responsible for the deaths of at least 12 individuals in the Samara Oblast between 1993 and 1997, with a particular focus on couples. Throughout the investigation, multiple suspects were considered, and one individual was convicted for two of the murders; however, his involvement in the other cases remains contentious.

    Modus operandi

    The killer specifically targeted couples who were parked in their vehicles in secluded areas around Samara and its outskirts, typically during nighttime. He would often surveil potential victims and wait for one to exit the vehicle, at which point he would stab that individual multiple times before turning his attention to the other occupant. In a notable incident, he concealed himself in the bushes and feigned a cry for help to draw victims out of their car. Additionally, there is at least one account from a survivor who reported that he fired a sawed-off shotgun at their vehicle.

    There are theories suggesting that the motivations behind these murders may be linked to mystical or occult practices, as some reports indicate that the bodies of certain victims were allegedly arranged in a cross formation.

    The Tokyo Metropolitan Murders pertain to a series of unresolved homicides involving ten individuals that transpired between 1968 and 1974 in the Greater Tokyo Area of Japan.

    During the period from 1968 to 1974, a disturbing pattern of murders and assaults primarily targeting female victims emerged in the metropolitan regions of Chiba, Saitama, and Tokyo.

    The perpetrator's method involved attacking and sexually assaulting women who lived alone, committing these acts at midnight, and subsequently incinerating their remains. The majority of the victims were in their twenties, and the suspect is believed to have a blood type of O−. In total, nine cases were documented, alongside two additional cases involving a suspect who was convicted but later exonerated, with connections to the series suggested by the similarities to the other offenses.

    On September 12, 1974, a 37-year-old construction worker named Etsuo Ono was apprehended in Kitaura (currently part of Namegata) on suspicion of theft. He was transported to a police station in Matsudo, Chiba Prefecture, where he faced intense interrogation regarding his potential involvement in the murders, given his questionable history.

    The narrative of a serial killer from the 1970s and the woman who selected him for a date after both were featured on the television game show The Dating Game will be depicted on screen next month in Netflix's Woman of the Hour, which marks Anna Kendrick's debut as a director.

    On Tuesday, Netflix unveiled its initial teaser for Woman of the Hour, showcasing Kendrick and Daniel Zovatto in their portrayals of Sheryl Bradshaw and Rodney Alcala, respectively. The teaser presents a chilling date that, in reality, never took place.

    In actuality, Bradshaw and Alcala had both been involved in a series of murders prior to their appearance on the show, managing to elude law enforcement. Although Alcala initially captured Bradshaw's interest, she later declined to pursue a date with him, describing him as creepy.

    Criminal profiler Pat Brown later informed CNN that Bradshaw's rejection may have intensified Alcala's psychopathic tendencies, which ultimately led to his arrest in 1979 and his conviction for seven murders, although he is suspected of having committed over 100.
