Lakireddy Bali Reddy was a noted successful businessman; he owned restaurants and real estate all over Northern California and made over $1,000,000 a month from his income properties. He also had a dirty little secret to his success...he forced Indian girls into slavery. All was going well for Lakireddy until a carbon monoxide leak led to the death of one of his underaged slaves. Surprisingly, it wasn't a police investigation that led to his arrest, but a story in a school newspaper. This is the story of the human trafficking ring that shook a nation and opened the door for reform in the United States.
It's one of the most infamous unsolved cases of all time...a mad butcher in Cleveland who decapitated and mutilated several victims in the 1930s and was never caught.

John Eleuthere du Pont was a multimillionaire. Part of one of the most prominent and richest families in America: The du Pont Family. Then, strangely, he started losing his mind. This is what is known: du Pont was a fan of amateur sports and established a wrestling facility at his Foxcatcher Farm. He befriended several Olympic champions--including Dave Schultz, who he murdered. It was a never a question of if he did it; the question is why. What turns an otherwise sane man into a psychotic killer? This page-turning true crime story will take you into the mind of a man who had everything and let it all fall away due to madness and paranoia.

What's more crazy than the person De Nero portrayed is the fact that it was actually based on a real person: Arthur Bremer. What turned a innocent kid from Milwaukee into a crazed lunatic who attempted to assassinate presidential candidate, George Wallace? Find out in this fascinating profile.
Twitter. Facebook. Instagram. They are curious things when Hollywood is involved. They feed into our voyeuristic tendencies and let us befriend people who never actually know us. Through them we don't just know a celebrity-we become their friend. We know what they wear. Where they eat. What TV shows they like. For seven young adults, it wasn't enough to be the social networking friends of a celebrity. They wanted to know what it was like to be the celebrity. And for a one-year period they stole a piece of Hollywood. Their story is more than a poor person who desired. Their story is about spoiled kids who did have it all...but they wanted more. They were the Bonnie and Clyde of Generation Adderall. Young, spoiled, and reckless. Collectively they were known as "The Bling Ring." This is the incredibly true story of how they stole Hollywood.
