Serial killer head

Serial killer head, Nearly Twenty Five (25) years after her severed head was found on a New Jersey golf course, police on Wednesday identified the woman they believe was the first victim of a notorious Long Island serial killer. New Jersey State Police said Heidi Balch is believed to be the first of 17 women killed by Joel Rifkin during a four-year spree that ended when he was pulled over for a missing license plate in 1993 with a dead women's body in the back of his pickup. Authorities have long believed the woman whose severed head was found in March 1989 on a golf course in Hopewell Township, near Trenton, was the first woman Rifkin killed. He all but admitted it after his 1993 arrest, when he provided details on where he disposed of her head and legs. Rifkin was eventually sentenced to more than 200 years in prison for the killings. But Balch's identity remained a mystery for more than two decades. State Police Det. Sgt. Stephen Urbanski said Balch's parents didn't

As you might expect, the birth wasn’t an easy one and after George was born he struggled to survive. He went five minutes without oxygen and was given a 10% chance of survival. Jade said: “When his head came out that’s when they realized how big he was. And then his shoulders got stuck, and that’s when everything kicked off, really. There were about 20 doctors in the room. That’s when it got really scary.” Thankfully, doctors were able to help George along and a month later Jade and Ryan were able to bring their big baby home. Jade said: “He didn’t fit into any of his newborn clothes. He’s gone straight into 3-6 month clothes.” Doctors have checked in on Ge
