And, lastly.. 1. Richard Crafts In the ’80s, beautiful, young Helle Crafts was working as a successful airline attendant and living in Connecticut with her airline pilot husband. Friends were wary of her husband’s temper and she would occasionally insinuate to friends that she thought he might hurt her. She was also painfully aware of Richard’s many extramarital affairs. November 19, 1986 was the last night any of Helle’s friends saw her alive. Three years later, on November 21, 1989, Richard was finally convicted of murdering his wife. What evidence prompted this conviction? Well, it starts with the mix of stories Richard told Helle’s friends and family about her whereabouts, citing a variety of different locations she was said to be. Then, weird purchases on his credit card sparked police interest; new bed dressings, a freezer which was nowhere to be found, and the overnight rental of a wood-chipper…and then a local reported seeing Richard using the chipper around 4am DURING A SNOWSTORM! As you might suspect, investigators discovered lots of BITS of Helle Crafts near where Richard was seen that night, including a tooth, a toenail, 2660 bleach blonde hairs, and other bits of her body. That’s right, he had frozen her and then passed his frozen wife through a wood chipper. The case is the inspiration behind the movie Fargo.
