On February 16, 2009, 911 dispatchers in Stamford, Connecticut received a call so shocking it took them several minutes to even understand what was happening.

Sandra Herold frantically screamed into the phone that her friend Charla Nash was being viciously attacked and eaten alive by her pet chimpanzee Travis.

Herold begged the dispatcher to send police immediately and said they needed to bring guns to shoot the mad chimp.

Throughout the entire horrifying call, dispatchers could hear Travis' enraged screams in the background as the attack continued.

Finally, emergency services arrived at Herold's home and found Charla Nash completely covered in blood on the ground, her face all but ripped off and her fingers strewn about the ground around her.

Nash required hours of surgery after the attack, and after her jaw was reattached she later flew to Ohio for an experimental facial transplant.

After the cops shot Travis to death, a toxicology report determined the chimpanzee had been given Xanax on the day of the attack. Sandra had reported this to police, but it's thought the drug may have fuelled his aggression.

At her wedding in April 1989, Linda Kolkena begged her partner Dan Broderick to wear a bulletproof vest because she was terrified that his jealous ex-wife would attack him. Seven months later, that's exactly what happened.

Kolkena and Broderick had begun dating while he was still married to a woman named Betty. For seven years, they snuck around until Broderick divorced his wife in 1985 and moved in with Kolkena.

A devastated Betty Broderick immediately began seeking revenge. She left them constant, angry voicemails, broke into their house and spray-painted their walls, and even drove her car right into the side of their house.

Finally, on November 5, 1989, Betty broke into the couple's bedroom while they were sleeping and shot them to death.

A 45-year-old woman named Kristine Barnett adopted a 6-year-old Ukrainian girl in 2010 but, in 2019 was charged with abandoning her daughter in Indiana and fleeing to Canada in 2013.

The woman claims her 'daughter' was found to be a 22-year-old sociopath with dwarfism who was pretending to be a child, and that she tried to kill her on multiple occasions.

Kristine claims the girl tried pushing her onto an electric fence, poured bleach into her coffee, and threatened to stab her in her sleep. She says the adoption was a "scam" and the girl was actually born in 1989.
