New Delhi, May 29 (Ians) A new social media trend of sniffing deodorant has claimed the life of an Australian teenager after the act left her brain damaged “beyond repair”, media reports said.
Chroming — also known as huffing or sniffing — is a form of Volatile Substance Use (Vsu) that involves inhaling toxic chemicals, such as those from aerosol cans, paint, or petrol for a quick high. It has become the latest trend on TikTok and other social media platforms, and is on an “upward” trend in Australia.
Esra Haynes, a 13-years-old high school student in Victoria, went into cardiac arrest and suffered extensive, irreparable brain damage after inhaling the chemicals from a deodorant can at a friend’s sleepover in March, news.com.au reported.
After being on life support for eight days, her parents chose to turn off her life support.

“It’s the end of an era,” podcast network Exactly Right tweeted in May 2022. “Jensen & Holes: The Murder Squad is going off the air.” The tweet set off dismayed speculation among the true crime community, and rightly so: The podcast, which launched in 2019, was a popular powerhouse of the genre, featuring Paul Holes, the now-retired detective who helped crack the Golden State Killer case, and Billy Jensen, who helped finish the 2018 bestseller, I’ll Be Gone in the Dark, that detailed the hunt for the serial killer, after author Michelle McNamara...

Warning: contains Major spoilers for The Midwich Cuckoos episodes 1-7
The majority of changes made by screenwriter David Farr to the source material for Sky’s new adaptation of The Midwich Cuckoos were tweaks rather than departures. In the seven-part series, Midwich is no longer a remote country village, but a commuter town within easy reach of London. Its lead character isn’t erudite author Gordon Zellaby, but child psychiatrist and single mother Dr Susannah Zellaby, played by Keeley Hawes. Book narrator Richard Gayford and his wife Janet are absent, replaced by new characters Zoe (Aisling Loftus), Sam and Dci Paul Haynes, played by Max Beesley.
Shifting the narrative perspective towards the story’s women reflects changes in gender politics between the 1950s and today. The same goes for the inclusion of a sequence in which the women of Midwich – mysteriously all pregnant at the same time following a town-wide...

Joseph DeAngelo, 74, waived the right to a jury trial and pleaded guilty to 13 counts of first-degree murder and 13 kidnapping-related charges on Monday, crimes committed in the Seventies and Eighties in six California counties and attributed to the Golden State Killer. He also agreed to admit to dozens of rapes he cannot be charged with as too much time has elapsed.
This plea agreement would effectively help the ex-police officer avoid the death penalty; instead, he will likely be sentenced to several life sentences without parole. He was arrested in April...

This article avoids spoilers for everything but episode one of I’ll Be Gone in the Dark.
It’s clear from the very first episode of I’ll Be Gone in the Dark that this isn’t going to be like other true crime documentaries. Described as based on the book of the same name by Michelle McNamara, it’s more like a ‘making-of’ the book, a behind the scenes look at how the book got written with a strong focus on its author, the cops that wouldn’t let the case go, the amateur sleuths who helped, as well as the survivors of the East Area Rapist.
McNamara is a crime writer you might not necessarily be familiar with already if you’re not a true crime nut or indeed a ‘Murderino’. Directed by Liz Garbus who also made Netflix movie Lost Girls about The Long Island Serial Killer, episode one...

“I had a murder habit, and it was bad,” Michelle McNamara says early in the new HBO documentary series I’ll Be Gone in the Dark. “I would feed it for the rest of my life.”
Like many things McNamara said or wrote, these words prove sadly prophetic. An acclaimed true crime writer, McNamara unexpectedly died in 2016 at the age of 46 while trying to complete the book on which the HBO show is based, an epic account of the crimes of the man she dubbed the Golden State Killer.

Retired detective Paul Holes has never read his friend Michelle McNamara’s New York Times-bestselling book I’ll Be Gone in the Dark, about the hunt for the Golden State Killer — despite factoring heavily into its contents. First, he was too busy tracking down the man he and McNamara had teamed up to find. Then it was just too hard — she died before the book could be finished, before the killer could be found.

Michelle McNamara’s definitive book about the Golden State Killer case, “I’ll Be Gone in the Dark,” is getting the docuseries treatment on HBO later this month, giving the late author and crime reporter the chance to explain her obsession with the case in her own words.
McNamara spent 10 years following the case — which included 50 home-invasion rapes and 12 murders throughout California — before she died in 2016, two years before a suspect was identified and arrested based on DNA evidence. She is credited with bringing the case to wider attention with her blog, True Crime Diary, and a lengthy article in Los Angeles Magazine which served as the basis for “I’ll Be Gone in the Dark.”
HBO’s adaptation is described as “a detective story told in McNamara’s own words, through exclusive original recordings and excerpts from her book read by actor Amy Ryan.” The series draws from extensive archival footage...

In 1976, Molly Ringwald was living with her family in Citrus Heights, Calif. — the same area the Golden State Killer committed some of his crimes.
In an article titled “The Golden State Killer in My Backyard” in Dame Magazine, Ringwald recalled living in terror during her childhood while the Golden State Killer, also known as the East Area Rapist, was committing crimes in the surrounding areas of Sacramento, Calif.
“I lived and went to school in the east area of Sacramento, where the violent serial predator was breaking into people’s suburban homes and raping women, regardless whether children were present,” Ringwald wrote. “In 1976, when he committed his first known crime, I was living with my family at 7554 Garden Gate Drive in Citrus Heights just a few miles away. My grandparents lived in Auburn at the same time the suspect, Joseph James DeAngelo, lived and served on the police force there. Sometimes, when I visited them, they would take me for pancakes at the Denny’s where DeAngelo’s mother supposedly worked.”

Last month, 72-year-old Joseph James DeAngelo was arrested and charged with two counts of murder. He has since been charged with more crimes. The Golden State Killer was linked by DNA and method to 12 murders, 45 sexual assaults and more than 120 burglaries from Sacramento to Orange County between 1976 and 1986.
The Golden State Killer case was also the subject of a true-crime book titled “I’ll Be Gone in the Dark,” by Michelle McNamara, comedian Patton Oswalt’s late wife. McNamara worked with investigators on the case but died before the book was published. It was finished by co-writer Billy Jensen, researcher Paul Haynes and Oswalt.

“Not long after I found out about the arrest, my sister Beth texted me to ask if our mother had seen the news,” Ringwald wrote. “I was having dinner with our mom at the time and texted back that I had been talking to her about it all day and that at first my mother wasn’t even sure she remembered him. My sister had been following the case for awhile, knew when Michelle McNamara–the late author of ‘I’ll Be Gone in the Dark’ who’d spent years investigating the rapes and murders–renamed him ‘The Golden State Killer’ and was shocked that the details weren’t as fresh in our mother’s mind as they were in ours.
‘Everybody around Sacramento including me was terrified of him in the ’70s!’ she texted.”
