ET entry yesterday

Yesterday I had my last Executed Today entry for the month (there were supposed to be four but the Headsman forgot to publish the one I wrote for the 18th). It’s John Johnson, who, together with another man, beat and gut-shot a Chicago cop for no apparent reason and was hanged in 1905. The victim lingered for four months before dying, and this in an age before modern medicine. Johnson’s partner-in-crime only got fourteen years.

This is actually the second time I’ve written about the execution of someone named John Johnson; this is the first one.

Oh, and I replaced the first picture of Sandra Breed with a photo of slightly better quality, and replaced Pauline Lorraine Klumpp‘s picture with a color version of the same.

That’s all.

Not sure this has ever happened before

For my updates today I just wrote up a case with FOUR given dates of disappearance from five different sources. I’ve got November 24, 2014 (NCMEC and news article), March 1, 2015 (state database), March 12, 2015 (another news article) and May 7, 2015 (NamUs).

*headdesk*

I’m going with the earliest date, to be on the safe side, and also because it’s the only date that was given more than once.
