I've known two murderers and one girl who tried to kill her husband. I knew them all WELL, too, which is really scary.
The chick was a girl I've known from CHURCH since I was like, two or so. We hung out all the time when I moved back to my hometown for high school. She was a tramp; I was a virgin. I slept on a dozen guy's couches while she banged them and I'd have to wake her up to get me home before my mom got home from working night shift. She had a fiance the whole time, too. Ten years later she's married to a different guy, cheating on him, and she tries to poison his chicken dinner, but got busted because it tasted funny, and she accidently let the answering machine record her convo with her boyfriend about what she did. I couldn't find a news link but here's her mugshot:

Then there was Jesse. My now ex-husband worked with him for a while long before we hooked up. (My ex and I have been friends since we were 14 and 16.) I was dating a guy at the time who also worked with him, so all of us hung out a lot. He was a very mild mannered gentle seeming sort of guy; I would NEVER have guessed he could hurt even a dog, much less a person. Then one day I heard that people were digging up his old yard, and as it turned out, his adopted mother made him shoot his adopted father when he was 15. They buried him in the yard, laid a concrete slab over the grave, and raised pigs there. The house was eventually sold, and not too long after, someone talked, and it all came out. Here's a news link:

This next one is the scariest for me, because I stayed at this guy's house for a few weeks when I was in a pinch. My son played in that yard where the body was found, and I had a little fling with the brother Michael just before I left. Here are two news links, the second explains more details about what happened when the guy was murdered, and funny enough, the first one even mentions the last guy's story, Jesse.
