Stories about famous serial killers and murder cases at the Crime Library. on truTV.com The Frankford area of Philadelphia was once a town older than the City of Brotherly Love itself. At one time, it was a prosperous area, but by 1980 it had become a crime-ridden slum populated by prostitutes, junkies, and small businesses struggling to survive. This was the area that Sylvester Stallone selected as the setting for his film Rocky. It was here in 1985 where the first victim was found in a railroad yard. Helen Patent was nude from the waist down and she had been posed in a sexually provocative position, with her legs open and her blouse pulled up to expose her breasts. She was 52 when she died, and while it was clear to the police that she had been stabbed many times, it took an autopsy to determine the official cause and manner of death.

The Ancient and Mysterious Gobekli Tepe | Historic Mysteries One of the standing stones of Gobekli Tepe Gobekli Tepe (Gobekli: Belly Tepe: Hill) is a site six miles outside of Urfa, Turkey that contains megalith circles. It was uncovered in 1994 by German archaeologist Klaus Schmidt. Since that time, Klaus and his team have uncovered at least seven large stone circles and they suspect that there are many more left under 22 acres of land yet to be excavated. The largest megaliths of Gobekli Tepe are roughly 16 ft. tall and weigh as much as 10 tons. Judging by the animal bones found during digging at Gobekli Tepe, the ancient people who erected the site were nomadic hunter-gatherers. It appears that Gobekli Tepe outdates ancient wonders like the Pyramids of Giza and Stonehenge by thousands of years. Gobekli Tepe was built over the course of hundreds of years, possibly even longer. Some believe that the age and location of Gobekli Tepe shows that it was the site of the Biblical Garden of Eden.
