Judith Barsi

**Judith Eva Barsi** (June 6, 1978 – July 25, 1988) was an American child actress best known for her voice work in the animated films *All Dogs Go to Heaven* and *The Land Before Time*.

## Early Life

Barsi was born in Los Angeles County, California, on June 6, 1978, the daughter of József Istvan Barsi and Maria Barsi (née Virovacz), both immigrants to the U.S. who fled the Hungarian People's Republic following the 1956 uprising. The two immigrated at different times and met at a restaurant in California, where Maria worked as a server. Both had been previously married.

## Abuse and Death

As Barsi's career success increased, her father József, an alcoholic, became increasingly angry and would routinely threaten to kill himself, his wife and daughter. His drinking led to three arrests for driving under the influence of alcohol. In December 1986, Maria reported his threats and physical violence toward her to the police. After the police found no physical signs of abuse, she decided not to press charges against him.

After the incident with the police, József reportedly stopped drinking, but continued to threaten Maria and Judith. His various threats included cutting their throats as well as burning down the house. He also reportedly hid a telegram informing Maria that a relative in Hungary had died, in an attempt to prevent her from leaving the United States with Judith. The physical violence continued, with Barsi telling a friend that her father threw pots and pans at her, resulting in a nosebleed. As a result of her abuse, Barsi began gaining weight and developed compulsive behaviors, such as plucking out her eyelashes, and pulling out her cat's whiskers (see trichotillomania). In May 1988, after breaking down in front of her agent, Ruth Hansen, Barsi was taken by Maria to a child psychologist, who identified severe physical and emotional abuse and reported her findings to child protective services.

The investigation was dropped after Maria assured the case worker that she intended to begin divorce proceedings against József and that she and Judith were going to move into a Panorama City apartment she had recently rented as a daytime haven from him. Maria's friends urged her to follow through with the plan, but she hesitated due to her fear of losing the family home and belongings.

On July 28, 1988, the *Los Angeles Times* reported that three people were found dead in an apparent murder–suicide and that the bodies were believed to be those of Barsi, her mother Maria, and her father József. The article quoted Police Lt. Warren Knowles as saying a flammable liquid, likely gasoline, had been poured on the bodies of Maria and Judith by József. József's body was found in the garage, dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Neighbor Eunice Daly stated she heard a gunshot around 8:30 a.m. on July 27, prompting her to call the police. Barsi and her mother were buried in Forest Lawn Memorial Park, in adjoining plots

While on his way over, he noticed 4 cars outside and was chased down by several members of the Trinitarios gang. He sought refuge in a bodega near his home and the owner let Junior hide behind the counter after noticing the fear on his face, although he initially refused as he wasn't quite sure what was going on. One of the members spotted Junior behind the counter and dragged him out of the bodega, where they stabbed him to death at the age of 15. The bodega owner would be hospitalized after suffering a heart attack watching the event unfold.

## Aftermath

Annabelle Richardson

**Annabelle Richardson** (May 7, 2017 - May 7, 2017) was American Girl.

## Death

She was stillborn on May 7, 2017. There's not a specific cause for Richardson been stillborn. It's a possibility that her mother, Brooke "Skylar" Richardson, took birth control pills 11 days prior her birth might cause her death. Her mother, An Ohio cheerleader charged with murder and vilified in social media, was found not guilty of killing her newborn in September. Brooke Skylar Richardson kept her pregnancy — and the birth of a daughter less than 48 hours after her senior prom — a secret.

The then-18-year-old later told police the baby was stillborn and that she buried the infant in the backyard. In their first televised interviews, Skylar's parents Scott and Kim Richardson speak out about the impact of the case on their family and on their daughter with "48 Hours" correspondent Erin Moriarty. "The worst nightmare. Purgatory every day," Kim Richardson said. "We're followed, stalked, harassed ....Facebook, to me, turned into Hatebook." Moriarty explores Skylar's life, the potential impact an eating disorder had on her decisions, why she hid the pregnancy, and an unexpected offer the prosecutors made to Skylar before trial that could have changed everything.

Skylar had managed to keep her pregnancy a secret for so long due to her eating disorder, which made her thin enough to hide the bump. Fly high, Annabelle

Heather O'Rourke

**Heather O'Rourke** (December 27, 1975 – February 1, 1988) was an American child actress.

## Early Life

Heather Michele O'Rourke was born on December 27, 1975, in San Diego, to Kathleen and Michael O'Rourke. Her mother worked as a seamstress and her father was a carpenter. She had an older sister, Tammy O'Rourke, also an actress. Her parents divorced in 1981, and O'Rourke's mother married part-time truck driver Jim Peele in 1984, while they were living in a trailer park in Anaheim, California. Her success later allowed the family to purchase a home in Big Bear Lake, California. Between acting jobs, O'Rourke attended Big Bear Elementary School, where she was president of her 5th grade class. At the time of her death, the family was living in Lakeside, California, a suburb of San Diego.

## Illness and Death

In early 1987, O'Rourke became ill with giardiasis, which she contracted from well water at her family's home in Big Bear Lake. She was subsequently diagnosed as having Crohn's disease. She was prescribed cortisone injections to treat the disease during the time she was filming *Poltergeist III*. The steroidal injections resulted in facial swelling of the cheeks, which O'Rourke's mother said she was very self-conscious about.
Inscription at O'Rourke's crypt
On January 31, 1988, O'Rourke began exhibiting flu-like symptoms. The following morning, she collapsed in her home, and was rushed to Community Hospital in El Cajon. En route, she suffered cardiac arrest, but paramedics were able to restart her heart at 9:25 a.m. She was subsequently flown to the Children's Hospital of San Diego, where it was discovered she had intestinal stenosis and went into emergency surgery. She survived the surgery, but suffered another cardiac arrest while in the recovery room. Doctors performed CPR for over 30 minutes, but finally, O'Rourke was pronounced dead at 2:43 that afternoon. O'Rourke's cause of death was ruled congenital stenosis of the intestine complicated by septic shock.

Daniel Hollander, the head of gastroenterology at the University of California, Irvine Medical Center stated that O'Rourke's death was "distinctly unusual" as she lacked prior symptoms of the bowel defect: "I would have expected a lot of [digestive] difficulties throughout her life and not just to have developed a problem all of a sudden." However, Dr. Hollander further stated that it was possible for congenital bowel narrowing to cause sudden death without symptoms if an infection caused the bowel to rupture. A private funeral was held for O'Rourke on February 5, 1988, in Los Angeles at 10 years old. She was entombed at Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery.
Michele Morgan

**Michele LeAnn Morgan** (July 20, 1957 - August 10, 1961) was an American girl who was murdered by her stepmother. Michele had been hospitalized 20 times since being born due to beatings she had received, including one incident where he was hospitalized for a month.

## Michele Morgan

### Death

August 10, 1961 (age 4)Mascoutah, Illinois, USA

## Death

On August 9, 1961, Michele was at her home when her stepmother, Mary Rae, pushed her to the ground and began stomping on her chest as Mary had believed that she was lying about a prior argument. She was also held underwater with her older brother George being a witness. Michele was hospitalized after throwing up blood clots during dinner, but would pass away the next day at the age of 4. An autopsy was performed at the Scott Air Force Base as Michele's father was with the US Air Force. The report wouldn't be completed until 1976, with the cause of death initially being ruled as pneumonia.

## Aftermath

In 1996, George was serving time in prison when he decided to research his family and noticed inconsistencies in Michele's death certificate, such as listing her year of death as 1976 as well as the cause of death being pneumonia. He would confide with the St. Clair County Coroner, Rick Stone, about what he had witnessed before her death and an investigation was started. Michele's body was exhumed and despite being buried for 35 years, her skeleton showed signs of brutal child abuse.

A warrant was issued for Mary after police found an autopsy report from the hospital showing Michele had died due to chest trauma as well as hospital records showing several hospitalizations. Mary was arrested in West Columbia, Texas and while she initially denied the allegations, she would plead guilty to involuntary manslaughter and served 5 years in prison, being released in 2001.
Kelsey Mayer

**Kelsey Mayer** was an 18-year-old girl from Concord, New Hampshire.

Kelsey graduated from Concord High School in 2022. She was a student at Keene State College along with her best friend, 19-year-old Allison Yanski.

Allison graduated from Concord High School in 2021. Both Kelsey and Allison were on the Keene State College soccer team.

### Death

On March 23, 2023 around 4:45 a.m., Kelsey Mayer, 18, was driving a Chevrolet Cruze westbound on Route 9 near Stoddard, New Hampshire. Allison Yanski, 19, was in the passenger seat.

At the same time, a log-carrying tractor-trailer was backing into a nearby logging site on Route 9. Due to the size of the logging truck, it was blocking the westbound lane.

Kelsey drove her Chevrolet Cruze into the side of the logging truck at full speed. The Cruze traveled under the truck and collided with the tractor-trailer's undercarriage. The front half of the Cruze was wedged under truck with the two girls crushed inside.

Emergency personnel had to use extrication tools to remove the girls from the wreck. Due to the weight of the trailer and the position of the vehicle underneath it, the logging company used the skidder to lift the trailer while crews winched the vehicle out.

It took more than an hour to extract the girls from under the logging truck. Police identified the victims as 18-year-old Kelsey Mayer and 19-year-old Allison Yanski. The crash remains under investigation.

Cherish Perrywinkle

**Cherish Perrywinkle** (December 24, 2004 – June 22, 2013) was an 8-year-old girl from Jacksonville, Florida who was abducted from a Walmart on June 21, 2013. She was seen on CCTV cameras leaving the store with a man named **Donald James Smith** (born September 4, 1956) who was later convicted of her murder and sentenced to death.

## Life and murder

Cherish Lily Perrywinkle was born in Jacksonville, Florida on Christmas Eve of 2004 to Rayne Perrywinkle and Billy Jarreau, who were never married and had custody battles.

On June 21, 2013, around 8 pm, Rayne, Cherish, and her two younger sisters went shopping when they first met Donald Smith at a Dollar General, where he offered to buy them clothes they could not afford with a $150 Walmart gift card. The Perrywinkles then got into his white van and went with him to Walmart, where they shopped for the next 2 hours. At 10:30 pm, Smith offered to get them cheeseburgers at the store's McDonald's and Cherish followed him. However, surveillance footage shows that they walked out of the store instead, which was the last time Cherish was seen alive. About half an hour later, Rayne called the police to report that her daughter had been abducted and an Amber alert was issued five hours later. The next morning Cherish's body was found in a creek behind Highlands Baptist Church. It is believed that Smith had bound her in the back of his van, where she was sexually assaulted and strangled to death.

## Smith's arrest

Police immediately identified Smith as the abductor, with his van being one of the main focuses. Around 9 am the next day, officers saw his van on the interstate and cornered him before he surrendered and was promptly arrested. Smith was known to police as a local sex offender with a long criminal history including numerous offenses against minors. He had been released from jail only three weeks before Cherish's murder.

## Trial

Smith's trial began in February 2018. He was found guilty of first-degree murder and sexual battery and was sentenced to death in May 2018. The jurors were in tears after witnessing crime scene photos of the murder as the defense tried to suppress the images. Julie Schlax, the defense attorney, urged the jurors to focus on the law and not their raw emotions.

In April 2021, Smith unsuccessfully attempted to appeal his sentence.

On March 6, 1998, 35-year-old data processor Matthew Beck entered the headquarters of the Connecticut Lottery Corporation in Newington, Connecticut armed with a pistol and butcher knife. Matthew had grown disgruntled over not receiving back pay after being demoted from a position as an accountant in July 1996 and had recently returned from a 4-month medical leave due to stress. A half-hour after clocking in, Matthew made his way over to the office of 33-year-old Michael Logan, an information services manager who had initially denied a grievance complaint Beck had made regarding the promotion, and shot him dead. The chief financial officer, 38-year-old Linda Mlynarczyk, had walked over to meet Beck as the 2 were scheduled for a meeting later that day and was shot 3 times. He next made his way to Fred's office, as Fred had denied Matthew's appeals for help in the grievance, and shot him dead at the age of 40. Matthew would notice the President of the company, 54-year-old Otho Brown, making an escape and shot him in the parking lot before committing suicide when confronted by law enforcement.

Cocoanut Grove fire

The **Cocoanut Grove fire** occurred on November 24, 1942 in Boston, Massachusetts, and resulted in the deaths of 492 people. It is the deadliest nightclub fire in U.S. history and the second-deadliest single-building fire (after the Iroquois Theatre fire). The Cocoanut Grove was one of Boston's most popular nightspots, attracting many celebrity visitors. It was owned by Barnet "Barney" Welansky, who was closely connected to the Mafia and to Mayor Maurice J. Tobin. Fire regulations had been flouted: some exit doors had been locked to prevent unauthorized entry, and the elaborate palm tree décor contained flammable materials. The air-conditioning used flammable gas because of the wartime shortage of freon.
During the first Thanksgiving weekend since the U.S. had entered World War II the Grove was filled to more than twice its legal capacity. The fire was initiated by an electrical short and fueled by methyl chloride in the air conditioning unit. Flames and smoke spread rapidly through all areas of the club, and people were unable to escape efficiently because of the locked exit doors. Blame was directed at Welansky for violation of standards; he served nearly four years in jail before being released just weeks before his death.
Local hospitals were especially well prepared to treat the casualties having been rehearsing emergency drills in response to possible wartime attacks on the East Coast. The crisis demonstrated the value of the recently installed blood banks and stimulated important advances in the treatment of burn victims. Following the fire many new laws were enacted for public establishments, including the banning of flammable decorations, a provision that emergency exits must be kept unlocked (from the inside), and that revolving doors cannot be the only exit.

Mary Brian

**Mary Brian** (born **Louise Byrdie Dantzler**, February 17, 1906 – December 30, 2002) was an American actress who made the transition from silent films to sound films.

## Early life

Brian was born on February 17, 1906 in Corsicana, Texas, the daughter of Taurrence J. Dantzler and Louise B. Her brother was Taurrence J. Dantzler, Jr.

Her father died when she was one month old and the family later moved to Dallas, Texas. In the early 1920s, they moved to Long Beach, California. She had intended becoming an illustrator but that was laid aside when at age 16 she was discovered in a local bathing beauty contest. One of the judges was actress Esther Ralston (who was to play her mother in the upcoming Peter Pan and who became a lifelong friend).

She didn't win the $25 prize in the contest, but Ralston said "you've got to give the little girl something." So, her prize was to be interviewed by director Herbert Brenon for a role in *Peter Pan*. Brenon was recovering from eye surgery, and she spoke with him in a dimly lit room. "He asked me a few questions, Is that your hair? Out of the blue, he said I would like to make a test. Even to this day, I will never know why I was that lucky. They had made tests of every ingénue in the business for Wendy. He had decided he would go with an unknown. It would seem more like a fairy tale. It wouldn't seem right if the roles were to be taken by someone they (the audience) knew or was divorced. I got the part. They put me under contract."[*citation needed*] The studio renamed her Mary Brian.
