As it turns out... got confirmation this am... this Was indeed the girl I went to grade school with. Well, I’m happy it led you to dig more and find out, but sad her life was taken. I hope there is a special room in hell just for that cretin to burn in eternity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Let me just pull up every ABC After-school special or 80s “special episode” sitcom to pick my most nightmarish character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 16 hours ago, Another Fan said: Mel Hall former baseball player. He bullied Bernie Williams when he started in the league because he was jealous. But much more worse than that he was a sexual predator on young girls https://www.sbnation.com/2014/7/15/5883593/the-many-crimes-of-mel-hall This is crazy because I never knew about his crimes. Mel grew up in Montezuma which borders my home town, Auburn. I used to see him quite a bit around town, as his brother (who worked as a construction laborer for my father) still lived in Auburn. He was sort of a local hero, and would often show up to the local little league field to watch. I remember one time he threw a bunch of cash down on the counter of the snack shack and all the kids got to get all the snowcones, soda, or hot dogs they wanted. Parents flocked him for autographs. What the hell was wrong with the parents of that girl?! Reminds me of that weird documentary on Netflix, “Abducted in Plain Sight.” His brother, whose name escapes me, worked for my father but developed a bad crack habit and ended up homeless. Pretty sure he is dead now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure he is dead now. I'm a Met fan but I do recall those early 90's Yankee teams well. I was still in grade school. Where I live oddly enough the Mets were on the premium Sports Channel and my dad didn't want to pay for it. So Yankee games I watched a lot of on MSG. Watching those games taught me the fundamentals of the game. I still recall Mel hitting a walk off HR on Memorial Day I believe against the Red Sox. It's where Da Yankeesss win phrase might have started. My personal nostalgia aside, I mean maybe the girls parents thought he was their meal ticket? The snack shack story I did love though.

Used to watch every serial killer documentary I could find. Ed Gein is one of the most disturbing and evil individuals I came across. Dude was freaking twisted. Major authoritarian mommy issues. Arthur Shawcross is one I heard about frequently growing up in central NY. I worked at a furniture store on Lyell Ave. that was a few doors down from the bar from which he abducted a lot of his prostitute victims. I remember Shawcross, he was one twisted individual. Thing with him was he never should have been released from prison. IIRC, before he came to Rochester and went on his killing spree, he was in prison someplace else in NY for murdering two young children.

Plead guilty to a manslaughter charge, and only served 14 years of a 25 year sentence. Horrible failure by the criminal justice system for sure. I found it interesting, after all the humans he murdered, the most “severe” charge he was convicted of was 2nd degree murder. I don’t know about those kids, but those prostitute murders were definitely premeditated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIrc he’s got a really weird tic where he can’t stop blinking. On 8/16/2020 at 7:13 PM, Warcodered said: I listened to the podcast about him a few months ago. What a crazy story. The dating game part turns out to be the least interesting thing about him. That’s how nuts he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
