The Anatomy Of Crime

The second victim was Francesca Soavi. Leonarda had promised her a job at the girls’ school in Piacenza. On the morning of 5 September 1940, she went to say goodbye to her friend before setting off. The script was the same: Leonarda convinced the woman to write two postcards, telling her she should send them from Correggio to inform her acquaintances that she was leaving, but without saying where she was going. Leonarda then attacked the woman and made the second “sacrifice”. The third and final victim was Virginia Cacioppo, a former opera singer, then 53, reduced to living with her memories of the past, in poverty. Leonarda offered her a job in Florence as the secretary to a mysterious theatre impresario, begging her not to tell a soul. Virginia was enthusiastic about the proposal, and kept the secret. On 30 September 1940 she went to Leonarda’s house, where: “She ended up in the pot, like the other two (…); her flesh was fat and white, when it had melted I added a bottle of col

Born in Montella di Avellino in 1893 and marked by an unhappy childhood, in 1914 Leonarda Cianciulli married Raffaele Pansardi, a clerk in the registry office, and went to live in Lariano in Alta Irpinia. In 1930 an earthquake destroyed their home, and the couple moved to Correggio, in the province of Reggio Emilia. Leonarda had seventeen pregnancies: three were miscarriages, while ten of the children died at a tender age. The four surviving children were to be protected at any price, for Leonarda had not forgotten the words of a gypsy fortune-teller who many years earlier had predicted a terrible fate for her: “You will marry and have children, but all your children will die.” Later she had had her palm read by another gypsy, who told her: “In your right hand I see prison, in your left a criminal asylum.” In 1939, when she heard that her eldest and favourite son Giuseppe was to join the army, as Italy’s entry into the war became increasingly imminent, Leonarda decided what she had

Theory #3 The third theory is from LAPD detective Greg Kading, who believes that Sean Combs, a.k.a. P. Diddy, C.E.O. of the east coast record label Bad Boy Records orchestrated Tupac’s death. P. Diddy Detective Kading got a Crips gang member named Keith Davis to confess on tape that Combs paid him $1 million to carry out the murder of Tupac and Suge Knight. Keith Davis confessed that Orlando Anderson, who was Devis’ nephew was the one who pulled the trigger, and Davis also admits to being in the car when he recounts the night Tupac was shot. “Orlando rolled down the window and popped him. If they would have drove on my side, I would have popped them.” Keith Davis claims the motive behind Combs’ hit was due to fear that Suge Knight would strike first and that Tupac was only included in the hit because P. Diddy was pissed off about Tupac’s song Hit ‘Em Up. Furthermore, before Tupac was killed, he was shot multiple times on November 30 th  1994 at Quad Recording Studios in New Yor

There are a few theories on how Tupac Shakur's homicide occurred: Theory #1 The first theory is from former LA Times journalist Chuck Philips, who believes that Orlando Anderson, the Crips gang, and none other than Biggie Smalls all are responsible for the murder. Chuck Philips Chuck Philips and the LA Times investigated the murder over the course of a year and came up with the following conclusions based on anonymous sources.  Conclusion one , members of the Southside Crips were involved in the shooting as retaliation for Tupac’s beating of Orlando Anderson.  Conclusion two , Anderson was the shooter.  Conclusion three , Biggie Smalls paid $1 million for the murder of Tupac and supplied the gun. Biggie had a potential motive for wanting Tupac dead. Biggie’s year-long feud with Tupac was well known and at the forefront of the east coast, west coast rap rivalry including a reported verbal altercation and diss tracks. In one track titled Hit ‘Em Up, Tupac claimed he had s

On September 7th 1996 at the MGM Grand Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, Tupac Shakur attended a Mike Tyson boxing match. After the match, Tupac left with Suge Knight, who at the time was C.E.O. of the west coast record label Death Row Records, the label that Tupac was signed to. However, on their way out, Tupac and his bodyguards got into a fight with Orlando Anderson in the lobby of the MGM Casino. Anderson was a member of the Compton-based Southside Crips gang. After the brawl, Suge Knight and Tupac left in Knight’s car with Tupac’s entourage following in cars just behind them. While stopped at a traffic light at the intersection of Flamingo and Koval, a white Cadillac pulled up on the passenger side of Knight’s car and shot out of the window, hitting Tupac four times and grazing Knight in the head with a bullet fragment. In 2014, 18 years after the shooting, Chris Carroll, a now retired Las Vegas Police Department sergeant came forward to say he was first at the scene. According to
