DRUGS, PROSTITUTION AND MURDER. AN ANTHOLOGY OF TRUE CRIME OF WOMEN BEHAVING BADLY KILLER SWEDISH GIRL When a young Swedish woman named Annika Ostberg was incarcerated in the United States for participating in a double murder, her home country came to her defense. Even though they didn't have plenty of details on what really occurred in 1981, the citizens rallied together in order to get her released as soon as possible. She became a household name in her home country and a large number of the Swedish population saw her as someone who was wronged by the United States. Annika had been arrested for her involvement in a robbery gone awry. She was with her drug dealing boyfriend Bob Cox during a crime spree which left both a restauranteur and a sheriff deputy dead. But did Annika pull the trigger or was she an innocent bystander?MECHELLE HUGHESKent Lippink's dead body was left on a hiking trail near Hope, Alaska, an hour from Anchorage. He was discovered by utility workers making their way to a job. But perhaps because of the conditions on that remote hillside, or because of the carefulness of the murderers, no physical evidence was found that could have tied anybody to the crime. What little evidence there was, and common sense, pointed towards roommates Mechele Hughes and John Carlin, but not enough to bring them to trial. Leppink's death, however, was almost overshadowed by Mechele Hughes' story: a stripper who had perhaps had her boyfriend murdered in cold blood, by her lover. The salacious story gripped headlines around the country when the case went to trial, a full decade after the crime.ROBYN LINDHOLMAustralia's Most Dangerous WomanRobyn Lindholm was destined for fame.

Instead, this gorgeous femme fatale will be remembered as a murderer - and potentially, even a serial killer.SHAYNA HUBERSOn October 11, 2012, Shayna Hubers and Ryan Poston and his family had dinner at the young lawyer's home. After dinner, Hubers went home- she returned a few hours later, however, and the couple got into a heated argument.

Her anger worsened when she was later told that Poston already had a date lined up with the 2012 Miss Ohio, Audrey Bolte. It's believed that the news of Ryan's new date was what pushed Hubers over the edge.PAMELA SMARTThe case of Pamela Smart is infamous and retold in popular media through episodes on crime-based drama.
