Police officers were left significantly affected after a routine traffic stop led to an unspeakable and atrocious discovery in the trunk of a woman’s car, resulting in her arrest. What these officers found is enough to send chills down anyone’s spine.

Nicole Michelle Johnson, a 33-year-old Baltimore, Maryland woman, was speeding at approximately 11 p.m on a Wednesday night in Essex when she was pulled over by police, who discovered she didn’t have a license or insurance and was using a fake temporary tag…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

Unfortunately, that would soon be the least of their worries as they uncovered a crime much more heinous than a simple traffic violation.

After advising Johnson to report to the District court in five days and telling her that they were going to tow her car, the woman told police, “It doesn’t matter; I won’t be here in five days, and y’all are going to see me on the news. Y’all are going to see me on the news making my big debut.” She then went to the trunk of the car to retrieve items, including a maggot-filled clear trash bag with a strong decomposition odor and a black and yellow plastic tote, CNN reported. Nothing could have prepared the officers for what they were about to see.

After asking Johnson to open the clear trash bag, she eventually did, revealing a suitcase that she said contained blankets. Johnson then reportedly used a blanket to attempt to conceal the contents of the suitcase, but the officer told her to remove it. When she did, she exposed the decomposing body of a young child, police documents stated. Sadly, it gets so much worse.

Although Johnson made a desperate attempt to flee, the police at that point quickly caught her, and officers proceeded to open the plastic tote bag that was also found in the vehicle. In it, they discovered another plastic bag containing the remains of another child. It was later determined that the remains were those of two siblings, seven-year-old Joshlyn Johnson and her five-year-old brother Larry O’Neal, Inside Edition reported.

According to police, the siblings were Johnson’s niece and nephew, and the woman had custody of the children since 2019 after Jachelle Johnson, Nicole Johnson’s sister and the mother of the two children, said she could no longer take care of them. She asked her sister to look after them after moving to Maryland from Ohio in July 2019.

Deschall said she tried to reach Nicole several times after dropping her children off and finally made contact in March 2021. Deschell allegedly arranged to have her sister return her children, but Nicole never met her, and she had been unable to reach her sister or the children since.

She allegedly hadn’t heard anything from her about Nicole and her kids until detectives notified her of the children’s deaths.

Nicole Michelle Johnson was arrested and charged with two counts each of first-degree felony child abuse, first-degree felony child abuse resulting in death, misdemeanor neglect of a minor, misdemeanor failure to report the death of a child, and the unauthorized burial of a body as a misdemeanor.

Court records show she was ordered held on a no-bail status. While speaking with the detectives, the suspect alleges that she hit seven-year-old Joshlyn Johnson several times for misbehaving when they were staying at an inn off Pulaski Highway, causing the girl to fall and hit her head on the floor. Johnson said she then stowed the girl’s body in a suitcase and carried it around for many months before her brother also died.

Nicole Johnson also told detectives that her nephew had an injury, and she’d seen blood on five-year-old Larry O’Neal’s leg two months before police made their grisly discovery. According to Johnson, Larry then fell asleep in her car and never woke up after saying he was tired.

Nicole Johnson admitted to placing Larry’s body in the plastic tote. At some point, Johnson later placed the boy’s body in the car with her sister’s remains, which she told investigators she had been driving around with the bodies in her car for over a year, People reported.

An autopsy found that Joshlynn weighed just 18 pounds while Larry weighed 21 pounds, according to a report by CBS Baltimore. The unspeakable, atrocious, and harrowing ordeal has, of course, left many shaken, according to Baltimore County Police Chief Melissa Hyatt.

The entire Baltimore County Police Department grieves with the community over the unspeakable deaths of two innocent children, Chief Hyatt said, promising that the investigation into the atrocious crime will not stop until those responsible are brought to justice. This truly was a devastating incident, one that not only shocked our community to its core but significantly affected our patrol officers, forensic technicians, and detectives, Hyatt added.

I am grateful that the harrowing details of this case were thoroughly and quickly uncovered, resulting in an expeditious closure to this tragedy. I want to commend all of our Baltimore County Police Department members who worked tirelessly throughout this investigation to bring justice to these innocent young victims.

Michelle Johnson expressed her grief in a since-deleted GoFundMe page, saying it was a mistake to trust her sister who she says just disappeared while she was attempting to get her children back. “It was supposed to just be a family helping family situation,” Michelle explained. “I trusted her; I was mentally broken from losing the woman that raised me. I’ll never get to see my kids because of a mistake I made in trusting my sister.

I wish I could take it back, but I can’t,” she continued. “The mistake I made in trusting will always fall on me, but I never could imagine this outcome.” It is indeed a very sad situation when you can’t even trust your family to help care for your kids without having to worry about their untimely demise at the hands of a loved one.

One can hardly comprehend the trauma experienced by officers who made the gruesome discovery. We shudder to imagine the final days these children faced and the nightmare they experienced before their passing. This is a sad reminder that there are monsters among us, and sometimes the worst evil comes in the form of family.

Guy Fawkes’ punishment was one of the most severe in English history – here’s what happens when a body is hung, drawn and quartered

After their infamous plot to destroy parliament was foiled, Guy Fawkes and his co-conspirators received one of the most severe judicial sentences in English history: hanging, drawing and quartering. According to the Treason Act 1351 , this punishment involved…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

That you be drawn on a hurdle to the place of execution, where you shall be hanged by the neck and being alive cut down, your privy members shall be cut off and your bowels taken out and burned before you, your head severed from your body and your body divided into four quarters to be disposed of at the King’s pleasure.

This process aimed not only to inflict excruciating pain on the condemned, but to serve as a deterrent – demonstrating the fate of those who betrayed the Crown. While Fawkes reportedly jumped from the gallows – which meant he avoided the full extent of his punishment – his co-conspirators apparently weren’t so lucky.

By dissecting each stage of this medieval punishment from an anatomical perspective, we can understand the profound agony each of them endured.

Torture for confession

Before his public execution on January 31 1606, Fawkes was tortured to force a confession about his involvement in the “gunpowder plot”.

The Tower of London records confirm that King James I personally authorised “the gentler tortures first”. Accounts reveal that Fawkes was stretched on the rack – a device designed to slowly pull the limbs in opposite directions. This stretching inflicted severe trauma on the shoulders, elbows and hips, as well as the spine.

The forces exerted by the rack probably exceeded those required for joint or hip dislocation under normal conditions.

Substantive differences between Fawkes’ signatures on confessions between November 8 and shortly before his execution may indicate the amount of nerve and soft tissue damage sustained. It also illustrates how remarkable his final leap from the gallows was.

Stage 1: hanging (partial strangulation)

After surviving the torture of the rack, Fawkes and his gang faced the next stage of their punishment: hanging. But this form of hanging only partially strangled the condemned – preserving their consciousness and prolonging their suffering.

Partial strangulation exerts extreme pressure on several critical neck structures. The hyoid bone , a small u-shaped structure above the larynx, is prone to bruising or fracture under compression .

Simultaneously, pressure on the carotid arteries restricts blood flow to the brain, while compression of the jugular veins causes pooling of blood in the head – probably resulting in visible haemorrhages in the eyes and face.

Because the larynx and trachea (both essential for airflow) are partially obstructed, this makes breathing laboured. Strain on the cervical spine and surrounding muscles in the neck can lead to tearing, muscle spasms or dislocation of the vertebra – causing severe pain.

Fawkes brought his agony to a premature end by leaping from the gallows. Accounts from the time tell us:

His body being weak with the torture and sickness, he was scarce able to go up the ladder – yet with much ado, by the help of the hangman, went high enough to break his neck by the fall.

This probably caused him to suffer a bilateral fracture of his second cervical vertebra, assisted by his own bodyweight – an injury known as the “hangman’s fracture” .

Stage 2: Drawing (disembowelment)

After enduring partial hanging, the victim would then be “drawn” – a process which involved disembowelling them while still alive. This act mainly targeted the organs of the abdominal cavity – including the intestines, liver and kidney, as well as major blood vessels such as the abdominal aorta.

The physiological response to disembowelment would have been immediate and severe. The abdominal cavity possesses a high concentration of pain receptors – particularly around the membranous lining of the abdomen . When punctured, these pain receptors would have sent intense pain signals to the brain, overwhelming the body’s capacity for pain management . Shock would soon follow due to the rapid drop in blood pressure caused by massive amounts of blood loss.

Stage 3: quartering (dismemberment)

Quartering was also supposed to be performed while the victim was still alive. Though no accounts exist detailing at what phase victims typically lost consciousness during execution, it’s highly unlikely many survived the shock of being drawn.

So, at this stage, publicity superseded punishment given the victim’s likely earlier demise. Limbs that were removed from criminals were preserved by boiling them with spices. These were then toured around the country to act as a deterrent for others.

Though accounts suggest Fawkes’s body parts were sent to “the four corners of the United Kingdom”, there is no specific record of what was sent where. However, his head was displayed in London .

Traitor’s punishment

The punishment of hanging, drawing and quartering was designed to be as anatomically devastating as it was psychologically terrifying. Each stage of the process exploited the vulnerabilities of the human body to create maximum pain and suffering, while also serving as a grim reminder of the consequences of treason.

This punishment also gives us an insight into how medieval justice systems used the body as a canvas for social and political messaging. Fawkes’s fate, though unimaginable today, exemplifies the extremes to which the state could, and would, go to maintain control, power and authority over its subjects.

The sentence of hanging, drawing and quartering was officially removed from English law as part of the Forfeiture Act of 1870 .
