Who Killed William Robinson?
William Robinson’s murder occurred in March of 1868 on Salt Spring Island. Robinson was last seen the preceding Sunday at church and was found dead in his cabin by a man who occasionally brought goods to Robinson's cabin. After repeated attempts to meet with Robinson, the man removed some packing between the logs of the cabin wall, looked inside, and saw a man's boots laying on the floor. The man alarmed the other settlers but it was not until the following Monday that it was made known to the resident constable, Henry Sampson. Sampson broke into the cabin to find Robinson on his back with a bullet wound through his chest and the box that he had been sitting on between his legs. He appeared to have been shot while having dinner at his table, his knife still in hand.

Unsolved: The Murder of Jason MacCullough
True crime has always been a passion of mine. I’ve always found myself interested in the workings of serial killers, and the reasons why and how they became the monsters they eventually were. How could people who seemed so normal, so to speak, get away with such heinous crimes? Ted Bundy was charming; it allowed him to still abduct victims despite every woman with brown hair being on high alert. Dennis Rader, the BTK killer seemed like your average working, married man, only his desire for attention being the reason for his eventual capture. Or how about Albert Fish, who was a cannibal who was able to lure a young girl away from her family so easily, simply by lying about a street that didn’t exist.
