A Texas high school teacher is behind bars after authorities say she stabbed herself with a razor blade and set off a panic button

Teacher Stabs Herself, Blames Student. 

A Texas high school teacher is behind bars after authorities say she stabbed herself with a razor blade and set off a panic button, making it look like a student had stabbed her and forcing the whole campus into lockdown.

Nicole Truelove, 53, who teaches social studies at Splendora High School outside Houston, allegedly did it Thursday morning, according to the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office.

She hid the blade in her shirt, hit the emergency button, and the report quickly spread that a student had attacked her in the chest.

The school went into full lockdown right away. It lasted nearly an hour while students ran to classrooms, lights went off, and some teachers stacked chairs against the doors to block anyone from getting in. Parents rushed to the campus in tears, worried sick about their kids.

Once police got there, they locked everything down and started checking things out. Surveillance video and interviews with students and staff showed no student was involved. Assistant Chief Rick Bass with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office said the injury was self-inflicted and “evidence supports that this was a hoax.”

Truelove was arrested on the spot and charged with filing a false report and felony tampering with evidence. She’s being held on $20,000 bond and appeared in court Friday for a probable cause hearing. No students or staff were hurt.

A German soldier did the unthinkable with a French prisoner for eight days in a secret cellar.

A German soldier did the unthinkable with a French prisoner for eight days in a secret cellar. For h days, a French woman is remained locked in a basement under a house requisitioned by the army German. She was not tortured, she was not questioned and the 9th day, when she should have been dead or on the way to a prison camp, it simply disappeared from the records. The person responsible for his care was a Soldier of Vermarthe, Conrad Weiseman, logistics sergeant, 31 years old, originally from Stuttgart. He wore the uniform of a regime that killed million people. He sported the badge of a war machine responsible for unspeakable crimes. And for 8 days he did something that no German military manual anticipated. He protected a prisoner of the very army he served. This story is not in the books of history. There is no monument, no commemorative plaque. but she happened and I know it because my grandfather kept the test for sixty-year-old buried in a box metal in the garden of a house Mars...

Katie Stubblefield was just 18 years old when her life changed forever. In 2014, while living in Mississippi, she attempted to take her own life using her brother’s hunting rifle. The devastating injury destroyed most of her facial structure, leaving her without much of her nose, jaw, or face. Despite the severity of the trauma, she survived after emergency doctors worked for hours to stabilize her. For years afterward, Katie lived with extensive medical complications and underwent numerous surgeries while doctors explored the possibility of a full facial transplant. Her case eventually reached specialists at the Cleveland Clinic, one of the few medical centers in the world capable of performing such a complex procedure. In May 2017, when she was 21 years old, Katie underwent a groundbreaking surgery led by a team of more than 40 medical professionals. The operation lasted roughly 31 hours and replaced nearly 100 percent of her facial tissue, including her scalp, forehead, eyelids, ...

The Inbred Sisters Who Kept Their Father Chained in the Cellar—Byrd Sisters’ Horrible Revenge (1877)

The Inbred Sisters Who Kept Their Father Chained in the Cellar—Byrd Sisters’ Horrible Revenge (1877) In the remote Tennessee hills of 1877, where hollows run so deep that screams vanish into mountain fog, there existed a place called Cutters Gap, a settlement of barely 120 souls, scattered across Homestead, so isolated that evil could flourish for 14 years without interruption. The story I’m about to tell involves sisters who took terrible revenge on their own father, chaining him in a cellar beneath their feet. But what led these young women to such an unthinkable act? In January of that year, when a federal surveyor stumbled through a blizzard seeking shelter, he heard males screaming beneath the floorboards while three calm sisters served him cornbread and acted as if nothing was wrong.  What investigators discovered in that cellar would horrify even the most hardened lawman. Yet the evidence they unearthed, hidden journals, twisted scripture, and testimony from those who chose ...

In 2015, a woman from Stockholm, Sweden, struck up a relationship with 38-year-old Martin Trenneborg.

 In 2015, a woman from Stockholm, Sweden, struck up a relationship with 38-year-old Martin Trenneborg. The duo chatted over the phone, during which Trenneborg claimed that he was a rich American stockbroker based in London. The woman was impressed. She invited Trenneborg over to her flat on the 10th of September, 2015. They spent the evening chatting, and the woman agreed to have a second date with Trenneborg. On the 15th of September, the woman invited Trenneborg over to her flat once again. When she opened the door, Trenneborg presented her with champagne and chocolate-dipped strawberries. The duo sat down on the couch, and began to eat and drink. Trenneborg was not actually an American stockbroker. He had a successful career as a doctor, which was just as impressive. However, there was a reason that Trenneborg had lied about his true identity. Trenneborg had drugged the strawberries with the powerful sedative, Rohypnol. He marked the drugged ones by drawing on the stem leaves, s...

In December 1960, a 12-year-old boy named Howard Dully became one of the youngest patients

Image
In December 1960, a 12-year-old boy named Howard Dully became one of the youngest patients ever to receive a transorbital lobotomy — a procedure now remembered as one of the darkest chapters in medical history. His stepmother insisted that Howard was “difficult” and possibly schizophrenic. Most teachers and doctors disagreed. But one man—Dr. Walter Freeman, the self-proclaimed “father of the lobotomy”—was willing to proceed. With his father’s consent, the boy’s fate was sealed. On December 16, Howard was sedated using electroshock. Freeman then inserted an orbitoclast—a sharp metal instrument resembling an ice pick—through each eye socket, tapping it with a hammer to break through the thin bone behind the eyes and into the brain. He then “swirled” it to sever the neural pathways of Howard’s frontal lobes. When Howard awoke, he was feverish, bruised, and empty. “I was like a zombie,” he later said. The surgery had stolen his sense of self. He was soon cast out of his home and spent year...

Lviv Pogroms: Jewish People Chased and Brutally Murdered by Men and Youth Armed with Clubs, 1941

Lviv Pogroms: Jewish People Chased and Brutally Murdered by Men and Youth Armed with Clubs, 1941 Woman chased by men and youth armed with clubs, Medova Street in Lviv, July 1941. Chased by youth armed with clubs, this woman is fleeing from a “death dealer” whose left leg can be seen at the left-hand edge of the photograph. The Lviv pogroms were the consecutive massacres of Jews living in the city of Lwów (now Lviv, Ukraine), perpetrated by Ukrainian nationalists (specifically, the OUN), German death squads (Einsatzgruppen), and urban population from 30 June to 2 July, and from 25 to 29 July, during the German invasion of the Soviet Union. Ukrainian nationalists targeted Jews in the first pogrom on the pretext of their purported responsibility for the NKVD prisoner massacre in Lviv, which left behind thousands of corpses in three Lviv prisons. The subsequent massacres were directed by the Germans in the context of the Holocaust in Eastern Europe. On the morning of 2...

"In July 1945, a group of thirteen years old girls went camping. They swam at a river in Ruidoso, New Mexico. The girl in front of the picture is Barbara Kent. What the girls did not know is that nearby, the Manhattan Project detonated a nuclear bomb as a test… Kent described what happened that day: “We were all just shocked … and then, all of a sudden, there was this big cloud overhead, and lights in the sky,” Kent recalls. “It even hurt our eyes when we looked up. The whole sky turned strange. It was as if the sun came out tremendous.” A few hours later, she says, white flakes began to fall from above.  Excited, the girls put on their bathing suits and, amid the flurries, began playing in the river. “We were grabbing all of this white, which we thought was snow, and we were putting it all over our faces,” Kent says. “But the strange thing, instead of being cold like snow, it was hot. And we all thought, ‘Well, the reason it’s hot is because it’s summer.’ We were just 1...

A group of Jews, including a small boy, is escorted from the Warsaw Ghetto by German soldiers in this April 19, 1943 photo

A group of Jews, including a small boy, is escorted from the Warsaw Ghetto by German soldiers in this April 19, 1943 photo. The picture formed part of a report from SS Gen. Stroop to his Commanding Officer, and was introduced as evidence to the War Crimes trials in Nuremberg in 1945. After the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, the Ghetto was completely destroyed. Of the more than 56,000 Jews captured, about 7,000 were shot, and the remainder were deported to killing centers or concentration camps. This is a view of the remains of the ghetto, which the German SS dynamited to the ground. The Warsaw Ghetto only existed for a few years, and in that time, some 300,000 Polish Jews lost their lives there. The Nazis then began carefully tallying up the actual figures and also required Jews to register all of their assets. But the overall question remained as to what to do with the millions of Jews now under Nazi control – referred to by the Nazis themselves as the Judenfrage (Jewish question). Th...

She was just seventeen barely old enough to be called a woman when she showed the world a kind of courage

Image
She was just seventeen barely old enough to be called a woman when she showed the world a kind of courage that many nations can only dream of. In February 1943, during the brutal Nazi occupation of Bosnia, Lepa Svetozara Radić stood beneath a wooden gallows in the town square. She was battered from days of torture — her stomach empty, her wrists bruised, her body weakened — but her spirit was unshaken. A crowd was forced to watch as soldiers prepared to hang this teenage girl for daring to resist them. A German officer made her one last offer: “Give us the names of your comrades, and you will live.” Lepa didn’t need time to think. She didn’t beg. She didn’t plead. She lifted her chin, stared directly into the face of the man who held her life in his hands, and answered with a steady voice: “I am not a traitor. You will kill me — but thousands will avenge me.” The soldiers pulled the lever. The platform dropped. But Lepa Radić did not fall into silence. Her courage became a battle cry. ...
