Jamar-Pinkney-Jr.jpg
Jamar Jr. was forced to strip naked at gunpoint, then marched to a vacant lot and executed
When Lazette Cherry learned that her 15-year-old son may have improperly touched his 3-year-old sister, she called ex-husband Jamar Pinkney Sr. to let him know. But dad went ballistic.

He arrived at Lazette's Highland Park, Michigan home and forced 15-year-old Jamar Jr. to strip naked. Then he marched the boy to a vacant lot and forced him to kneel. Mom and Jr. pleaded for him not to shoot. "He got on his knees and begged, `No, Daddy, No,' and he pulled the trigger," Lazette says. Jamar Jr. was dead, shot in the head.

Lazette apparently didn't know her ex would react so violently when she called to let him know about the apparent molestation. Though there's no details on what Jamar Jr. was accused of doing, Lazette seems to imply that it was improper touching, not rape. But she felt a duty to let dad know.
"This isn't something you sweep under the rug," she says...

Burrell Mohler Jr. is now accused of forcing his three daughters to help kill a man
Reader CMM responds to Burrell Mohler Sr. and His 4 Sons Accused of Serial Child Rape, Forcing Sex With Dog.

"The way the stories are building and becoming more outrageous (and beginning from 'recovered memories') reminds me of the McMartin Daycare cases from the late 1980s where kids started with accusations of molestation and ended up with stories of satanic cults, animal and dog sacrifice and other craziness...

Patriarch and pervert Burrell Mohler Sr. apparently introduced his four boys to pedophilia
UPDATE: Detectives find a load of child and incest porn at Burrell Mohler Sr.'s home. See update after the jump...

Beginning in 1988, police believe 77-year-old Burrell Edward Mohler Sr. started raping the young boys and girls in his extended family. Over time, it seems he also introduced his four sons to pedophilia, and they forced the kids to even have sex with dogs.

All all five men are now charged with raping at least five children under the age of 12. Police are searching property outside Bates City, Missouri, looking for notes the victims buried in glass jars over the years -- and also searching for bodies...

12-year-old paperboy Johnny Gosch vanished in 1982 while delivering newspapers on his route.

Johnny Gosch, 12, had been working as a paperboy for a little more than a year when he vanished from his West Des Moines route in 1982 while delivering the Des Moines Register.  He left his parents' home at 5:45 a.m. on September 5, 1982, with his pet dachshund in tow. 

Suspicions of foul play, however, did not arise until about two hours later, when one of Johnny's customers called to say that his newspaper had not been delivered. Johnny's dad, Leonard, instructed his wife to call the police and went out looking for his son. He had gone barely two blocks from his house when he found Johnny's red wagon  full of newspapers, so Leonard delivered them to Johnny's customers...

Kathy-Gloddy.jpg
Kathy Gloddy was kidnapped, likely raped, and repeatedly run over with a car almost 40 years ago
It was about 5 p.m. on November 21, 1971 when cute Kathy Gloddy, 13, left her parents' home in the sleepy New Hampshire town of Franklin to walk to a nearby convenience store to buy junk food. She was accompanied by Tasha, her German shepherd dog, who went nearly everywhere that Kathy went. She ended up buying ice cream and potato sticks, then headed toward Franklin High School, where one of her older sisters was attending a banquet.

She never returned home.

"When Tasha came home without Kathy, we were worried," said Kathy's sister. "And then the dog was running around in circles, acting crazy and pawing at the door as if looking for Kathy."

Kathy and her sisters always came home when they were supposed to, and never stayed out late worrying their parents...

Burrell Mohler Sr. and his four sons are accused of raping young family members, even forcing them to have sex with a German shepherd
Reader Rachel responds to Burrell Mohler Sr. and His 4 Sons Accused of Serial Child Rape, Forcing Sex with Dog. She suspects there's a long back story to this case:

"I agree with Rachel. (maybe it's because we share a name) The jars are really strange and creepy. The jars and weddings are sort of like "gentleman rapist" type things--in this case gentleman incest rapists.

"And, for a whole family of men to do this to multiple kids...it's almost like they thought they had to (like a religious obligation--I'm not blaming religion, just saying they may have viewed it as some sort of obligation to justify it to themselves) and they felt bad and wanted to help the kids get through it...

Anthony Sowell-gray-shirt.JPG
Police found 11 decaying bodies in Anthony Sowell's indoor graveyard
UPDATE: Anthony Sowell was arrested last year for choking and attempting to rape a woman. But police didn't believe the victim and set him free. See update after the jump...

Fawcett Bess owns Bess Chicken and Pizza, across the street from the home of Anthony Sowell. This is where police found the bodies of 11 women -- left in the attic, stuffed in crawl spaces, and buried in his backyard. This is also where Cleveland police were called to at least five times in the weeks and months leading up to the discovery. But they did almost no investigation.

Bess recalls an incident two weeks before police discovered the bodies. He found a naked Sowell standing in the bushes next to his house. On the ground was a naked woman bloodied and beaten. Bess called 911 and an ambulance took the woman away. But police didn't arrive until two hours later -- and never bothered to interview him...
