Sciophobia: Fear Of Shadows

Robert Chambers, nicknamed “The Preppy Killer,” was convicted of manslaughter in the death of 18-year-old Jennifer Levin. Jennifer’s naked body was discovered on 26 August, 1986, in Central Park. She had been strangled to death and her body was riddled with bruises and bite marks. Authorities immediately zoned in on after witnesses from a local bar reported that they had seen Jennifer leave with Robert.

During the interview with police, it was noted that Robert’s face and hands were covered in scratches; he claimed they were from his cat. After a thorough interrogation and investigation, Robert eventually admitted that he had killed Jennifer, but alleged that it was a accident. He had claimed that Jennifer had tied him up in Central Park and began to give him oral sex. She then allegedly became violent and when he attempted to push her off him, he claims he somehow managed to accidentally strangle her to death.

This scenario seems to be extremely incredulous due to the fact that Robert was 6′5″ while Jennifer was only 5′4″. Regardless of these inconsistencies, Robert was portrayed as a good “alter boy” and Jennifer’s reputation was attacked by the defence. They smeared her name and claimed she was promiscuous and kept a “sex diary,” which turned out to be a phone book with the numbers of her friends. Bizarrely, the jury sided with Robert and believed that he, a 220lbs man double Jennifer’s weight, killed her accidentally while trying to protect himself from her advances.

The Woman Who Killed the Hitman Her Husband Hired to Kill Her

Susan Kuhnhausen’s estranged husband hired a hitman to kill her. She overpowered him and got him into a chokehold. “Tell me who sent you and I will call a fucking ambulance,” she yelled. He didn’t reply and she strangled him to death.

Afterwards, she sued her husband for $1million so he couldn’t hire another.

Susan Wright was born on the 24th of April, 1976, in Houston, Texas. She briefly worked as a topless dancer before finding employment as a restaurant waitress in Galveston. It was here that she met her future husband, Jeff Wright. The couple went on to have two children.

On the evening or 13 January, 2000, Susan tied Jeff to their bed. What he presumed was going to be an enjoyable night turned into a nightmare. When Jeff was immobilised, Susan stabbed him 193 times from head to toe with two different knifes. She then buried him in the back yard. In fact, Jeff had dug his own grave. He had dug a large hole on the patio which he planned on turning into a fish pond.

The following day, Susan filed a domestic abuse report in order to get a restraining order against her deceased husband. She then came home and painted the entire bedroom in an attempt to conceal the grim crime. A couple of days later, Susan asked her attorney, Neal Davis, to come to her home where she confessed to the murder. The dog had partially unearthed his corpse and started to chew on his hand. Neckties were found tied around his wrists and his ankles were bound with a bathrobe sash. There was red wax on his buttocks, thigh, and genitals. Susan had stabbed Jeff with such force that the tip of the blade was discovered lodged in his skull.

Susan was pleading not guilty by reason of self-defence. Her defence attorney claimed that Susan had been suffering from physical and mental abuse at the hands of her husband for numerous years and that she killed him to protect herself and their children. Susan claimed she didn’t tie him to the bed but was in the bedroom when he came at her with a knife. Susan, who was 5'5", said she was able to overpower Jeff, who as 6'3" and 220lbs, and grab the knife from him and stab him over 100 times.

The prosecution, however, contended that she was a scheming wife and that she killed him in the hopes of collecting a $200,000 life insurance policy. A friend of Jeff had once heard Susan berate him for filling out the forms incorrectly on the life insurance policy thus delaying the process. The prosecution admitted that Jeff wasn’t the perfect husband and that he had drug issues but contended he never harmed Susan or the children. In fact, they argued that Susan never once claimed he was abusive until after she killed him, adding that she only filed the domestic abuse report the day after his murder.
