This Area for Crime and Trials Polls

Hi Monkey's,

Does anyone remember an Ohio, firefighter, who kept details of a 1,000 women, on his computer? 

He would rifle through the medical records, at a Doctor's office, and took notes and information on the women.

He had access to the medical records, because he took care of a fish aquarium, at the Dr.Office.

He was jailed for crimes (unimaginable), just wondered if anyone recalled his name; he should be in jail for a long time.

Thank-you

Stalkers: The Psychological Terrorist
BY Katherine Ramsland

(About 1997)

Mr Hyde

Stalking is not limited to star struck admirers. Thomas McCarthy, 43, was a fireman, husband, and father of two children. His friends and coworkers liked him, but he had a terrible dark side that no one suspected. He had violent obsessive fantasies that compelled him to follow adult women of all ages, learn everything he could about them, keep lists, and sometimes act on his fantasies. He might watch a woman sign a check in a store and catch a glimpse of her address; he might go through her mail or garbage to get a phone number. He had all kinds of ways to get the information he needed to feed his fantasies about what he might do to a particular woman and how he might accomplish it.

After he was caught breaking into the home of Peggy Kilroy in Lakewood, Ohio, according to the arresting officers interviewed for "Inside a Stalker's Mind", McCarthy told police he had stalked around 2,400 women.   He had elaborate codes for what his target women looked like, and he might follow them for months, watching through their windows, learning their routes and routines, and even reading their records in doctors' offices where he cleaned aquariums after hours. What he wanted to do, he admitted later, was rape them, torture them, and cause them pain. One actual victim whose home he entered he subjected to bondage and a stun gun, another to the cut wires of an electrical fan. Although he went through several years of therapy and had even tried a drug that was supposed to diminish violent urges, nothing seemed to work. His fantasies and stalking behavior escalated.

There's not much discussion in here, because it's not really a  crime discussion thread.  It was set up as a place for polling SM posters on various crime cases.  Administrators and moderators can set up polls and if you wanted one, I'm sure they would be happy to help you.   I didn't want you to think you were here talking to yourself, seahorse.   ::bee::

Kitty Genovese, was stabbed to death in Queens in 1964

High-profile assassinations aside, Kitty Genovese’s murder is one of the most famous in modern American history. Her nightmarish final half-hour has inspired multiple “Law & Order” story lines, a folk song, novels, a musical and an episode of “Girls.” Psychologists found their life’s work because of Kitty, and she helped inspire the creation of 911 as a way to call for help.
