In New York City‘s Manhattan borough, between the years of 1972 and 1973, an unidentified serial killer claimed the lives of four victims — eight-year-old Douglas Owens, nine-year-old Wendell Hubbard, nine-year-old Luis Ortiz, and eight-year-old Steven Cropper. One ten-year-old victim, whose identity remains protected, was fortunate enough to survive the brutal attack.
The serial killer, who was dubbed “Charlie Chop-off,” captured New York City’s attention due to the fact that his method of murder was particularly gruesome — Charlie mutilated, and sometimes severed, his victims’ genitalia. Charlie also expressed a clear preference for his ideal victim: prepubescent, dark-complected males.
Murders
Douglas Owens
On March 9, 1972, eight-year-old Douglas Owens, a Harlem resident, disappeared while he was running errands for his mother. When Douglas didn’t return home on time, Douglas’ mother notified the authorities of his absence, and the search for her son commenced immediately. Douglas’ body was found on a rooftop of a building on East 121st Street, only two blocks away from his home. The autopsy reported that Douglas suffered up to 38 stab wounds; mostly to his neck and chest. More disturbingly, Douglas’ genitals had been severely mutilated. Since the attack appeared to be personal, investigators first suspected Douglas’ relatives and acquaintances. However, without evidence, and no witnesses, investigators faced a dead end.
Surviving Victim
Six weeks after the first murder occurred, on April 20, an anonymous, ten-year-old victim, who was said to physically resemble Douglas, was also attacked. The victim, like Douglas, was also running errands on the day of he was attacked. The victim was discovered alive, though severely injured, in the hallway of an apartment building on Manhattan’s West Side. The victim had been stabbed, sodomized, and had his genitals severed from his body. When investigators arrived on scene, they failed to locate the victim’s genitals. Investigators correctly presumed that the offender had taken it with him. Soon after the attack occurred, a patrol officer discovered the severed penis in the hands of school-aged children who had been playing with it in a park.
Once the victim recovered from his injuries, he was able to provide investigators with a description of the offender — a slender male with a medium-dark complexion that had distinct mole on his left cheek. The offender also walked with an obvious limp. The

Obviously, after this season the Steelers will likely let go of Le'Veon and Ben Roethlisberger isn't getting any younger. If the Steelers don't make it to the promise land this year how will this era of Steelers history look? Obviously they have had a plethora of success and have been one of if not the best at their position but is it a disappointment if they don't get a Super Bowl ring to show for it?
EDIT:
Side note, how is Mike Tomlin's legacy viewed as well?
Watching Sasuke and co swagger up like he is a big deal and then get their asses kicked was immensely satisfying.

This topic maybe a little morbid or off topic but I was watching special features for David Fincher's film Zodiac and they noted that this man, Mike Mageau, when he was attacked on the 4th of July was wearing THREE PAIRS OF PANTS.
A teenage boy out wearing THREE PAIRS OF PANTS, along with a t shirt, three sweaters and long sleeve shirt. Allegedly he was wearing all these clothes because he was insecure about his small stature and weight. I dunno it just really felt like a move Ron would make. Zodiac's a great film btw.
My sister in law was watching "Home is where the killer is" and it started to really take me back. Now, my nmom never killed anyone, but most of it was there. Taking mail and opening it, isolation at some points (now not very extreme like the movie) making her feel like she was the only one to turn to. After a few minutes of viewing I started to really panic. She even looked similar to my mother. The cold eyes. I'm sorry. Im trying to calm down because I thought I was over this, I thought she wouldn't come to haunt me, but I guess that's her true power. To get under my skin.
