During the night of April 25, 2009, 17-year-old Brittanee Drexel from New York left a hotel in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, where she had been staying with friends during spring break.

Drexel walked to a nearby hotel and sent a text message to her boyfriend, stating that she was on her way back to her motel. Sadly, this marked the final time she was seen alive.

Police investigated Drexel's disappearance but no developments were made public until 2016, when it was announced that a prison inmate had told them that she had been abducted and killed.

The man accused by the informant denied knowledge of any alleged crime. Based on that information, the FBI considered the case a homicide.

In May 2022, police arrested Raymond Moody for the crime, he pleaded guilty to all charges in October.

Drexel's remains were recovered a week later in a wooded area in Georgetown, about 33 mi (53 km) from where she originally went missing.

In the 1800s, Scottish surgeon Robert Liston became infamous for a surgery that led to an astonishing 300% mortality rate.

He amputated a patient's leg in under 2.5 minutes, operating so swiftly that he inadvertently amputated his assistant's fingers and slashed a spectator's coattails.

The spectator died from sheer terror, and both the patient and the assistant later succumbed to gangrene, marking the only recorded operation with a 300% mortality rate.

On a separate occasion, while performing another leg amputation, Liston accidentally removed a patient's testicles along with the leg.
