6) Shoe
To give someone a good shoeing is a well-known term, but it rarely refers to someone actually being bludgeoned by a shoe. Edith Maxwell took the term a little more literally. Maxwell, from Virginia, was a school teacher and arrived home late one evening in 1935 to find her father who was very angry that she was back so late. Minutes later he was dead from a frenzied high-heeled shoe attack.
There was a massive media circus and Maxwell ended up going to jail. After just 6 years of imprisonment a letter from Eleanor Roosevelt got her freed. Maxwell left the prison under an assumed name and retired to a life of obscurity. Odd isn’t it? There’s still some people who think she didn’t do and that she took the rap for her mother. She’s dead now and it’s unlikely any more clues will ever come out as to whether she did do it or not.
7) Boobs
You may well think that death by boobs is the best way to go, and perhaps you’re right. But you’d still want a say in the matter wouldn’t you? The boyfriend of Donna Lange from Snohomish County didn’t get a choice. She smothered him to death with her uber-ample cleavage. Her boyfriend was heard screaming at her to get off and clumps of her hair and skin were found under his fingernails. So it can’t have been too much fun. She was eventually charged with second-degree murder.
Note to future murderers: only around 50% of the population will be able to use this method, but it does seem effective.
So there you go, I hope that’s given you some handy hints and tips. Don’t tell the Feds I helped you though…
