The idea of some stranger lurking in your home can be really upsetting.
Your home is supposed to be a place where you feel the most comfortable and safe.
But there are so many stories of strangers breaking into homes in order to steal your
stuff or to physically hurt you.
So here are the top 10 home break-in stories that will send chills down your spine.
Oh, and you might want to lock your doors before we get started.
Starting off this unfortunate list in at number 10 is The Bennett Family murders.
On the night of January 16, 1984, a man broke into the Bennett home where he slashed 27-year-old
Bruce Bennett and hit him over the head with a hammer.
The invader then went into the mother’s room where he sexually assaulted both her
and their 7-year-old daughter before murdering them with blunt force trauma.
The insane killer continued his killing spree when he viciously attacked their other three-year-old
daughter, he left her there to die with severe facial wounds.
Thankfully, the toddler survived the incident but she will have to grow up with the pain
of losing her family in such a brutal and vicious manner.
Moving to number 9 we have The nurse dorm murders.
Richard Speck was a deranged and psychopath who broke into a Chicago nursing dorm in the
middle of the night and slaughtered 8 female nurses.
He managed to break through the security system and he was armed with a knife and a gun.
He would quietly wake each nurse up, one by one before he tied them up and then proceeded
to strangle and stab them to death.
He made the other nurses watch as he murdered their friends.
If this doesn’t sound bad enough, he decided to rape his final victim before strangling
her.
One nurse managed to survive this horrific night by hiding underneath her bed.
But she will have to live with the memories of this brutal and gruesome night.
Apartment murders climb onto this list in at number 8.
On July 27, 1979, someone broke into Alys Rankin’s apartment near Houston Texas and
decapitated her.
One of her co-workers went to her apartment and noticed that the front door was tampered
with and once she entered, she saw her friend’s body tied up, sexually assaulted and there
was a trail of thick blood.
Oh, and what makes this even more creepy, is the fact that her head was never found.
So, this creepy killer probably has a collection of heads in his home.
And then two weeks later another home invasion took place two floors up of the same apartment
building.
This woman was also beaten, raped and stabbed numerous times.
The killer was never arrested so I wonder if he is still alive today, collecting heads.
The Setagaya Family murders come onto this list in at number 7.
A mysterious man armed with a knife stuck into the second-floor window of this family’s
apartment in Japan.
He entered through the 6-year-old son's room and strangled the poor boy to death before
he was confronted by the father.
The lunatic managed to stab him multiple times until he died.
But the killer wasn’t finished.
He moved into the kitchen, grabbed another knife and stabbed the mother of the family
and her 8-year-old daughter to death.
What makes this case even crazier is that after these brutal killings, the murderer
stayed inside of the home for several hours.
He did some internet surfing and ate some ice cream before he decided to leave the crime
scene.
Oh, and what makes matters worse is that this killer has never been caught.
This case is still considered to be open and there are dozens of investigators working
on this case full time.
Moving into number 6 is the Keddie Cabin Murders.
On the night of April 11, 1981, three victims were bludgeoned to death in their California
cabin.
A mother, her teenage son and the son’s friend were viciously murdered inside of the
cabin while they were sleeping and the fourth victim was a 12-year-old girl whose remains
were found years later in a nearby cabin.
What makes this case even more upsetting is the fact that these murders remain a mystery.
The three bodies were discovered by their oldest daughter and she saw that the bodies
were bound with medical tape and appliance wires.
They had been stabbed, bludgeoned and strangled to death.
A lot of different weapons were found at the scene as well.
There was a table knife, a butcher knife, and a bloody hammer.
Despite the amount of evidence and police interviews, no arrests were ever made.
So, these vicious and ruthless home invaders might still be walking free.
The Clutter Family Murders cuts into number 5.
While Richard Eugene Hickock and Perry Edward Smith were in prison, they heard from another
prisoner that the Clutter family was extremely wealthy and that they stash a lot of money
in their house.
So when they were released from prison, they immediately made plans to steal this cash.
They entered the Clutter’s family home in Kansas, but to their surprise, four of the
six family members were home.
They were unable to find a safe so they woke up all of the family members to threaten them.
They ended up ransacking the entire house and only managed to get fifty dollars, a pair
of binoculars and a transistor radio.
Because the family saw their faces, they didn’t want to leave any witnesses behind so they
executed them in cold blood by shooting them with a rifle.
They were arrested six weeks later and ultimately executed by hanging.
Next in at number 4 is The cold-blooded killer.
Back in March 1922, a German farmhouse was broken into by a cold-blooded killer who spent
a lot of time planning his murdering spree.
The police and investigators believe that the killer spent his time casing the place,
hid in the attic and lured the family members into the barn one by one so that he could
hack them up with a farming tool.
The father, his wife, their three children and their maid were all brutally beaten to
death with a mattock and it been over 96 years and no arrests were ever made.
The family even reported suspicious activity like a pair of house keys that went missing
and mysterious footprints in the snow that lead to the back door but they were all disregarded.
So, if the police were more diligent, this family might not have been hacked to death.
The Cheshire home invasion murders take us into number 3.
Two convicted criminals were scoping out a mother and her daughter at a grocery store
and they decided to follow the girls home and break in later that night.
Around 3am the two psychopaths broke into the Petit family’s home, hit the father
on the head with a baseball bat and tied him to a pipe in the basement.
After that, the two criminals went upstairs to continue their reign of horror onto the
rest of the family.
They doused the entire house in gasoline, raped the 11-year-old daughter in her bed,
choked the mother to death and then set the house on fire before they attempted to escape.
The father managed to make it out alive and the two men were eventually arrested.
But the entire home invasion lasted for 7 hours so it’s no doubt that this poor family
suffered a lot.
Slashing its way into number 2 we have The Axe Murders.
Back in 1911, when crime rates weren’t high and you never had to worry about someone breaking
into your home, an ax-wielding maniac snuck into a family home and hacked a mother and
her three children to death with his ax.
The killer continued his murdering spree along the route of the South Pacific Railroad.
So he started in Iowa and then made his way to Louisiana and San Antonio.
Six homes in total were broken into and 49 family members were brutally butchered to
death with his sharp ax blade.
One thing that all of these families had in common was that they were families of mixed
races.
There were many arrests made during these killing sprees but the murders continued and
no one was ever found guilty.
I think a large part of why we lock our doors is because of this serial killer.
The Manson Murders tops this list in at number 10.
This is probably the most infamous homicidal home invasions that were organized by the
psychopathic cult leader, Charles Manson.
On the night of August 8, 1969, Charles Manson ordered three of his brainwashed followers
to break into the home of actress Sharon Tate and to brutally kill everyone inside of the
home.
The Manson family murdered five people in the home by stabbing and strangling them to
death and then they took the blood and wrote pig on the front door as they left.
The next night, Charles Manson was not impressed at the sloppiness of the previous night’s
murders so he ordered a group of his followers to murder another set of victims.
So, they broke into the home of Leno LaBianca and his wife and proceeded to brutally murder
them.
Well, there
you
guys have it…
