The weepy voiced killer
"God damn, will you find me? I just stabbed somebody with an ice pick. I can't stop myself. I keep killing somebody."
Stephani was raised in Austin, Minnesota; as one of ten children by a highly religious family. He was married to Beverly Lider and had a daughter with her. Stephani was once convicted of aggravated assault and had a history of mental illness. His serial killings began on New Year's Eve 1980, university student Karen Potack had just arrived in St. Paul, Minnesota to have a party with her sisters. Potack left the party after midnight and wandered around the city, drunk. Three hours later, police receive a call from a man wanting a squad to be sent to Pierce Butler Road, Malberg Manufacturing Company machine shop, because there was "a girl hurt there". At the location, officers find Potack's naked body in a snow bank near railroad tracks, she had beaten to the point in which her skull had cracked, despite her severe injuries, Potack survived the incident, but is still recovering from brain trauma. Months later, police once again receive a call from the same man, claiming to have stabbed somebody with an ice pick. The body of Kimberly Compton was found shortly after, near an unfinished freeway, she had been stabbed with an ice pick just as the caller had said. This event resulted in police dubbing the caller, "The Weepy-Voiced Killer". Two days later, the killer called again to say that he was sorry for what he had done to Compton.
Fourteen months later, police find the body of Barbara Simmons on a Minneapolis river, she had been stabbed to death. Two days later, the killer calls fire emergency to say that he was sorry for stabbing Simmons and claimed to have been responsible for Compton's murder. A waitress from a local bar identified Paul Stephani as the last person who had been seen with Simmons before her death. Police soon discovered that Stephani had been fired from his job at the Malberg Manufacturing plant in March 1977, three years before Potack was found murdered at that same location. Despite monitoring, Stephani went to the city's red light district, solicited a prostitute named Denise Williams and had sex with her in his apartment. Stephani offered Denise to drive her back to the district and she accepted it. However, instead of driving back to her job, Stephani took Denise to a dark and secluded road, saying that it was a shortcut. Suspicious of Stephani's behavior, Denise saw a glass bottle and planned on using it against Stephani if he tried to harm her. At the end of the road, Stephani stabbed her in the stomach, but was hit with the bottle, which caused profund wounds in his head. Denise manages to open the door but is stabbed several more times, her screams awake a man nearby, who confronts Stephani, causing him to flee.
Later, Stephani calls emergency to stop his bleeding, and his voice is recognised by the department, who quickly connects Stephani's injuries to Denise's attack. Stephani is arrested and convicted of attempted murder and charged with the murder of Barbara Simmons. During the trial, police could not link Stephani to the murders committed by the Weepy-Voiced Killer, despite Stephani's sister confirming it was indeed his voice when listening to the tapes. Years later, after being diagnosed with skin cancer, Stephani confessed to the murder of Kimberly Compton and the attempted murder of Karen Potack, plus a third victim, the unsolved drowning of Kathy Greening; investigators soon found Greening's address book, which included the name "Paul S." and a telephone number belonging to Stephani. Stephani died of cancer on June 12, 1988.

Clementine Barnabet
Early one afternoon in late January 1911, a police officer in West Crowley, Louisiana received an urgent phone call. Neighbours feared something terrible had taken place at 605 Western Avenue, and indeed, when Office Ballew arrived at the house, he found the home's three occupants—a man, woman, and small boy—lying in bed with their skulls split open. The bed was drenched in blood, and bloody footprints speckled the floor. The doors were locked, indicating that the killer had come in through a window and murdered the family while they slept. There was a bucket of blood in one corner, and at the head of the bed, just above the bashed-in bodies, stood a bloodied axe.
The local newspaper called it "the most brutal murder in the history of this section," but it was just one of the axe slayings that would terrify parts of Louisiana and Texas in the early 1910′s. The crimes would become connected to rumours of a deranged Voodoo priestess and a cult called the "Church of Sacrifice," which was said to butcher its victims as part of their strange rites. But though suspicion initially focused on several men, the murderer would turn out to be an African-American woman named Clementine Barnabet, who may have had little connection to Voodoo at all. She would eventually confess to killing 35 people—though exactly how many people she murdered is unknown.

May 1, 1986
In a sudden explosion of courtroom violence, three bailiffs punched Richard Ramirez, who is accused in a series of murders and assaults, placed him in a chokehold and dragged him out of court today.
Mr. Ramirez, 26 years old, was not seriously injured in the fracas at his preliminary hearing on 14 counts of murder and 54 other felonies.
After a 20-minute recess, the defendant, smiling and laughing, re-entered the courtroom and quickly strode to his seat. His only visible injury was a large red welt on the left side of his neck.
Before startled spectators and reporters, the three bailiffs suddenly jumped on Mr. Ramirez and dragged the defendant, still seated in his chair with leg chains on, about six feet out a door into a holding cell area.
One bailiff had a chokehold on the defendant, while another bailiff, Steve De Prima, punched him several times in the face.
The bailiffs would not immediately let the defendant’s attorneys see their client in the holding cell.
Peering through a peephole in the door to that area, one of the defense attorneys, Arturo Hernandez, shouted, “You don’t have to hit him anymore. He’s not moving anymore.” Judge James Nelson of Municipal Court called a recess and summoned the attorneys and the bailiffs into his chambers.
Mr. Hernandez said Mr. DePrima had provoked the fracas by grabbing Mr. Ramirez, who had been talking with the attorney, by the hair and forcibly turning his head toward the front of the courtroom.
Tom Beattie, a supervisory bailiff, defended the bailifs’ actions, although he was not in court at the time. He said Mr. Ramirez had provoked the assault.
Mr. Beattie said Mr. Ramirez has been ordered to look straight ahead as witnesses are escorted nearby so as not to intimidate them.
He said Mr. Ramirez had refused to look forward as the elderly witness, Esperaza Contraras Gonzales, walked by.
