I would rather have a grave in Colombia than a jail cell in the U.S.Pablo Escobars words, spoken out of spite for United States law enforcement, would become a reality sooner than the drug kingpin anticipated.Wikimedia CommonsPablo Escobar, kingpin of the Medellin cartel.On December 2, 1993, Pablo Escobar was shot in the head as he attempted to flee across the rooftops of the barrio Los Olivos in his hometown of Medelln, where he had been hiding out.The Search Bloc, a task force made up of Colombian National Police that was dedicated to locating and taking down Escobar, had been looking for the drug lord for 16 months ever since he had escaped from La Catedral prison. Finally, a Colombian electronic surveillance team intercepted a call coming from a middle-class barrio in Medelln.The force immediately knew it was Escobar as the call had been made to his son, Juan Pablo Escobar. And, it seemed that Escobar knew they were on to him as the call was cut short.As authorities closed in, Escobar and his bodyguard Alvaro de Jesus Agudelo, known as El Limn, fled across the citys rooftops.JESUS ABAD-EL COLOMBIANO/AFP/Getty ImagesColombian police and military forces storm the rooftop where Pablo Escobar was shot dead just moments earlier during an exchange of gunfire between security forces and Escobar and his bodyguard.Their goal was a side street behind the row of houses, but they never made it. As they ran, the Search Bloc opened fire, shooting El Limn and Escobar as their backs were turned. In the end, Pablo Escobar was killed by gunshots to the leg, torso, and a fatal shot through the ear.Viva Colombia! a Search Bloc soldier screamed as the gunshots subsided. We have just killed Pablo Escobar!The gory aftermath was captured in an image thats been imprinted on history. A group of smiling Colombian police officials along with members of the Search Bloc stand over the bloody, limp body of Pablo Escobar splayed across the barrio rooftop.Wikimedia CommonsPablo Escobars death was captured in this now infamous image.The Search Bloc party immediately celebrated widely and took credit for Pablo Escobars death. Yet, there were rumors that Los Pepes, a vigilante group made up of enemies of Escobar and the Medelln Cartel, had contributed to the final showdown.According to CIA documents released in 2008, General Miguel Antonio Gomez Padilla, the Colombian National Police director general, had worked with Fidel Castano, the paramilitary leader of Los Pepes and rival to Escobar, in a matter of intelligence collection.However, there were also rumors that the drug lord had shot himself. Escobars family, in particular, refused to believe that Pablo had been brought down by the Colombian police, insisting that if he knew he was going out, he would have made sure it was on his own terms.His two brothers insisted that Escobars death had been a suicide, claiming that the location of his fatal wound was proof it had been self-inflicted.During all the years they went after him, one brother said. He would say to me every day that if he was really cornered without a way out, he would shoot himself through the ear.'Whether the Colombian police didnt want to admit Pablo Escobars death could have been a suicide or they were simply happy he was gone, the actual origin of the shot that killed him has never been determined. The country settled for the peace that came with knowing he was gone, rather than the potential media storm that could brew if the public found out he died like he lived on his own terms.After learning about how Pablo Escobar died, read about what happened to Manuela Escobar after her fathers death.

Wikimedia CommonsThe disappearance of Tom and Eileen Lonergan later served as the inspiration for the 2003 film Open Water.On January 25, 1998, Tom and Eileen Lonergan left Port Douglas, Australia by boat with a group. They were off to dive St. Crispins reef, a popular dive site in the Great Barrier Reef. But something was about to go terribly wrong.During the dive, they were abandoned at sea, reportedly unintentionally, and left in the open water. Neither was ever seen alive again and their exact fate remains a mystery to this day.How Tom And Eileen Lonergan Ended Up On That Fateful DiveFrom Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Tom Lonergan was 33 and Eileen Lonergan was 28. Avid divers, the couple was described as young, idealistic and in love with each other.They met at Louisiana State University, which is also where they married. Eileen was already a scuba diver and she got Tom to take up the hobby as well.pxhereAn aerial view of the Coral Sea, where Tom and Eileen Lonergan were abandoned.On that day in late January, Tom and Eileen were on their way home from Fiji where they had been serving in the Peace Corps for a year. They stopped in Queensland, Australia on the way for the chance to dive the worlds largest coral reef system.Through the diving company Outer Edge, 26 passengers boarded the scuba boat. Geoffrey Nairn, the boats skipper, led the way as they set out to their destination 25 miles off the coast of Queensland.After arriving, the passengers put on their diving gear and jumped into the Coral Sea. That is the last clear thing that can be said about Tom and Eileen Lonergan. What one could imagine is, after a scuba diving session of about 40 minutes, the couple break surface.They see a clear blue sky and clear blue water all the way to the horizon and nothing else. No boat in front, no boat behind. Just two disoriented divers who realize their crew has left them. What Happened To Tom And Eileen Longeran?YouTubeTom and Eileen Lonergan.Leaving divers behind isnt necessarily a death sentence. But in this case, the amount of time it took for someone to recognize that Tom and Eileen werent on the returning boat was too long. Eerily, the day after the incident, another dive group taken to the area by Outer Edge found dive weights at the bottom. The discovery was simply described by a crew member as a bonus find. Two days passed before anyone realized that the Lonergans were missing. It was only realized when Nairn found a bag aboard containing their personal belongings, wallets, and passports.Alarm bells rang and a massive search began. Both air and sea rescue teams spent three days looking for the missing couple. Everyone from the Navy to civilian vessels took part in the search. Rescue members found some of the Lonergans diving gear washed up ashore. This included a dive slate, an accessory used for making notes underwater. The slate read:To anyone who can help us: We have been abandoned on Agin court reef Reef 25 Jan 1998 03pm. Please help us come to rescue us before we die. Help!!!But Tom and Eileen Lonergans bodies were never found.Theories About The Lonergans Disappearance And The True Story Of Open WaterLike most unsolved disappearances, chilling theories arose in the aftermath. Was it a matter of negligence on the part of the company and captain? Or was there something more sinister lurking beneath the surface of the seemingly do-gooder couple?There was some speculation that they staged it or that perhaps it was a suicide or even a murder-suicide. Tom and Eileens diaries had disturbing entries that added fuel to the fire. Tom seemed to be depressed. Eileens own writing was concerned with Toms apparent death wish, writing two weeks before their fateful trip that he wished to die a quick and peaceful death and that Toms not suicidal, but hes got a death wish that could lead him to what he desires and I could get caught in that.Their parents disputed this suspicion and said the entries were taken out of context. The general consensus was that the couple were dehydrated and disoriented, leading to either drowning or being eaten by sharks.In a proceeding court case, coroner Noel Nunan charged Nairn with unlawful killing. Nunan said that the skipper should be vigilant for the safety of passengers and ensure safety measures are carried out. He added, When you combine the number of mistakes and the severity of the mistakes I am satisfied a reasonable jury would find Mr. Nairn guilty of manslaughter on criminal evidence.Nairn was found not guilty. But the company was fined after it pled guilty to negligence, which caused them to go out of business. Tom And Eileen Lonergans case also prompted stricter government regulations in regards to safety, including headcount confirmations and new identification measures.In 2003, the film Open Water was released and is based on the tragic events of the Tom And Eileen Lonergans last dive and fateful disappearance.If you enjoyed this article about Tom and Eileen Lonergan and the true story behind Open Water, check out these daredevils who took an up close video of a great white shark.

Randy Roth was married four times. Two of those marriages ended with his wifes death.First was his second wife Janis Roth, who fell to her death during a hike at Beacon Rock. The second was his fourth wife Cynthia Baumgartner Roth, who drowned in Lake Sammamish the very same lake where Ted Bundy had abducted two women a few years before.In both instances, Roth was the only witness. In both instances, he had the bodies cremated as quickly as possible.At first, it seemed as if Roth may have been an unfortunate victim of tragedy, doomed forever to be a single father. But police soon noticed that Roth was quick to cash in on his fourth wifes large life insurance policy. When they questioned him about the events that led to Cynthias death, holes in Roths story emerged and became difficult to ignore.Had Roth murdered his wife? Investigators knew it would be difficult to prove, but as they dug deeper into his past, the image of the real Randy Roth began to take shape. Roth had repeatedly attempted to defraud insurance companies and steal from past employers, for example, and his lifestyle was far more lavish than his reported annual income could have provided for. Soon enough, his motive became clear: Roth had killed his wife Cynthia to collect on her life insurance and he may very well have done the same to Janis.David And Randy Roth, The Killer BrothersBorn on Dec. 26, 1954, Randy Roth was one of five children born to Gordon and Lizabeth Roth. The family moved to Washington soon after Roths birth, and he grew up there. Throughout his life, Roth bonded with his father more than his mother, and after his parents divorce, he effectively cut his mother out of his life entirely. Lizabeth Roth would later express that Gordon had been a strict and abusive father who specifically had discouraged his sons from showing any emotions, which he considered to be too feminine. Randy and his brother were brought up by their father, who didnt allow them to show emotion, she told the Seatle Times, explaining that He (Randy Roth) was reprimanded for it. Thats just the way he was brought up.Unfortunately, this had a lasting impression on both Randy and David.As crime writer Ann Rule detailed in her book A Rose for Her Grave, David and Randy Roth both lacked empathy as adults and each became a killer.On August 13, 1977, 20-year-old David Roth was arrested for possession of marijuana after being stopped for a minor traffic violation in the tiny hamlet of Gold Bar in Snohomish County, Washington. While searching the vehicle, police also found a rifle and ammunition.A day later, a couple collecting blackberries discovered the body of a young woman who had been strangled and shot seven times. At first, these seemed like unrelated events. Wikimedia CommonsElizabeth Roberts and David Roth.However, a few days later, a friend of David Roths walked into the Snohomish County Sheriffs Office with an alarming bit of news: David Roth had confessed to him that he murdered the girl. She was hitchhiking near the Boeing Companys Everett plant when David Roth spotted her and picked her up. They bought some beer and went to the woods to drink it. David Roth told his friend that he tried to have sex with the girl then, but she rejected him. In retaliation, he strangled her with an elastic cord, took a rifle from the trunk of his car, and shot her. The Seattle Times reports that David was due to appear in court on August 22 for a pre-sentencing interview on a marijuana possession charge, but he never showed. He was on the run for more than a year until he was arrested on Jan. 18, 1979 in Port Orchard, Washington. David Roth spent 26 years in prison before being released in 2005. He died of cancer on August 9, 2015 almost exactly 38 years to the day after he killed the hitchhiker. Five years later, The News Tribune reported, she was finally identified with DNA testing. Her name was Elizabeth Ann Roberts. Randy Roth had told a number of women about his brother, the murderer,' Rule wrote. This was one of Randys stories that appeared to be true. The day David Roth was sentenced to life in prison, in February 1980, Randy was 25. That same month, Randy Roth and his first wife, Donna Sanchez, divorced. Before the winter was over, Roth met Janis Miranda, and within a year, they were married.Then, on Nov. 27, 1981, Janis Miranda Roth fell to her death off Beacon Rock. Janis Miranda And Randy Roths Fateful Whirlwind RomanceRandy Roth met Janis Miranda at a Parents Without Partners social. Roth had had a son named Greg with his first wife, Donna Sanchez, in 1977, and Roth used his status as a father to his advantage. Janis also had a child, a daughter named Jalina, from an earlier marriage.Sometimes Janis leapt without thinking, Rule wrote, making decisions based on emotions rather than on common sense. She seemed to change her mind as often as she changed her clothes. The one thing she was absolutely steadfast about was her daughter. Jalina always came first. Janis would have given up her life for her little girl. Wikimedia CommonsBeacon Rock, where Janis Roth fell to her death.Roth appealed to this aspect of Janis, telling her about Greg and showing her a photo of him that he kept with him always. They connected, Janis felt, over their mutual love for their own children. To her it seemed that Randy Roth was different from other men who had come into her life, so when he asked if he might call her, she agreed with enthusiasm. The more time she spent with Randy, the more she thanked her lucky stars, Rule wrote. All he seemed to care about was her happiness. She had never known anyone like that before.Roth showered her with love and affection at first, but that quickly faded after they married. He was closed off, inattentive even their sex life suddenly died away. Not long after they returned from their honeymoon, Janis Roths car was stolen, and Roth collected the insurance money. He convinced his wife to quit her job and together, in September 1981, they bought $100,000 in whole life insurance.The insurance took effect on Nov. 7 of that year. Three weeks later, Randy Roth suggested the two go on a hiking trip to Beacon Rock and Janis Miranda Roth was never seen alive again. Roth, the sole witness to his wifes death, claimed that she fell while they were hiking. Within a few months, he had collected the $100,000 in life insurance proceeds. He was never charged with Janis murder.The Murder Of Cynthia RothBy the spring of 1990, Randy Roth had once again been married and divorced, this time to a woman named Donna Clift, another single mother, and tried to defraud several insurance companies. A timeline of the events from Radford Universitys Department of Psychology shows that Roth was also fired from two different jobs one at Vitamilk, the other at Cascade Ford filed for unemployment benefits, and reported a robbery at his home totaling $57,000 in losses.Then, he met Cynthia Cindy Baumgartner. Like the other women in his life, Cindy was a single mother. She had two children, Tyson and Rylie. Within just a few months, Randy Roth and Cindy Baumgartner were married, and he and Greg had moved into Cindys home in South Everett.Notably, Rule wrote, Cindy was far better established financially than Randy was. King County PoliceCynthia Cindy Baumgartner.In early January 1991, Randy and Cindy Roth purchased more life insurance $385,000 worth, according to the Seattle Times. She even changed the beneficiary of her life insurance from her sons to Roth, as he claimed he had made her the beneficiary of his. This was, however, a lie. But just as he had done with Janis, Roths attitude towards his new wife quickly changed. She started to become unhappy in their marriage, as friends noted, and even wrote in a journal that she felt Roth hated nearly everything about her. In one entry, she wrote:Randy hates the swamp that Cindy made him move to.Randy hates Cindys house.Randy hates Cindys thingsRandy hates Cindys money.Randy hates Cindys independent nature.Then, on July 23, 1991, Roth suggested they take a family trip to Lake Sammamish. He left the children to play on their own and took a raft out onto the lake with his wife. Wikimedia CommonsLake Sammamish, where Randy Roth drowned his wife, Cindy. A few years earlier, Ted Bundy abducted two of his victims here.When he returned, she was dead. Roth claimed that a speedboat wake had capsized their raft and that Cynthia drowned as a result. Roth wasted no time in trying to collect on Cindys life insurance, either. And only a mere two days after her death, Roth emptied out her safe deposit box, which contained her will and jewelry from her ex-husband. Meanwhile, in early August, a woman named Kristina Baker notified police that she had seen Roth and Cindy out on their raft and that it had not flipped over, as he claimed. Roth was arrested for murder on Oct. 9, 1991, with his trial taking place from January to April 1992. He was ultimately found guilty of the murder of Cynthia Baumgartner Roth and sentenced to 55 years in prison at the Washington State Penitentiary where he was once again reunited with his brother, David. And though Randy Roth was never charged with the murder of Janis Miranda Roth, many people believe that he killed her to collect on her life insurance, just as he had done with Cynthia. After reading the disturbing story of Randy Roth, read about Shelly Knotek, the serial killer mom who brutalized her own family. Then, read the story of Larry Gene Bell, the killer who shocked even Mindhunter John Douglas.The post Randy Roth, The Cold-Blooded Killer Who Murdered At Least One Of His Wives appeared first on All That's Interesting.

There are certain genres whose inclination towards straightforward, no-holds-barred action is much more pronounced, and we can all agree that FPS are among them.

It's hard to imagine a time when Minecraft, a sandbox game that now features crossover content with Star Wars and Hello Kitty, or offers 'happy Ghasts' as a mob, was scary. I remember back when I was 11 playing it on an old PC with fog covering the in-game map, where broken world generation wasn't a bug but a leftover artifact of whoever came before me. It was deeply creepy in a way that no horror mod can ever truly replicate.Read the full story on PCGamesN: If you think Hytale and Minecraft are too easy, this underloved sandbox survival game will truly test your mettle
