I was (almost) there for that one. In fact, I can see the seats my father and I were sitting in in this photo.
Forgot my hat, got a touch of heatstroke and so we struck off back to the hotel 20 minutes or so before this happened.
Never seen this angle before. Always tried to discern from video what may have happened to us had we been there.

My wife and I had just arrived in Reno. When we got into our hotel room, I flipped on the TV, and it was all over the news. The crash had just happened..

The disaster was our press using the image to turn opinion against the war. Nguyen Van Lem and other VC had been murdering women and children and was caught at or near one of the mass graves. He deserved what he got.

I think some ave already posted about it, but it is Regina Kay Walters. She was a 14-year old runaway, abducted, raped and murdered by Robert Ben Rhoades. Evidence suggests the photo was taken just before Rhoades murdered her.

A 14 year old girl. Kidnapped and killed. She was forced to dress like that and take that pic shortly before she was murdered.

The shooter in that picture was a SVN police officer, and his family had been killed by VC sappers that day.  He was in no mood to deal with any sort of prisoners from captured VC (and rightfully so.)

Aitape, New Guinea. 24 October 1943. A photograph found on the body of a dead Japanese soldier



Aitape, New Guinea. 24 October 1943. A photograph found on the body of a dead Japanese soldier showing NX143314 Sergeant (Sgt) Leonard G. Siffleet of "M" Special Unit, wearing a blindfold and with his arms tied, prior to being beheaded with a sword. The Japanese soldier to Siffleet's left is Chief Petty Officer Watanabe Teruo. A group of local men and Japanese stand and crouch in the background. The execution was ordered by Vice Admiral Kamada, the commander of the Japanese Naval Forces at Aitape. Sgt Siffleet was captured with Private (Pte) Pattiwahl and Pte Reharin, Ambonese members of the Netherlands East Indies Forces, whilst engaged in reconnaissance behind the Japanese lines. The executioner, Yasuno Chikao, died before the end of the war.

More Japanese war crimes (Unit 731)....

Anybody who says the Japanese didn't deserve to be nuked twice is correct... but only because we didn't have a few dozen more bombs available.

I attended an investigator's course on serial/spree killers, we went thru her case pretty much from the moment she left home. Timeline, autopsy, Rhoades photo album, etc.   Rhoades gave  video interviews to  detectives where he went into exacting detail on what he did to her before the murder and her body after death. . His truck's sleeper cab was outfitted as a rolling torture chamber and he was caught by a state trooper with his newest victim bound and gagged in the sleeper. Gave me nightmares for years
