This is the very last photo of Geraldine Largay before she vanished in the Appalachian mountains in 2013.


While hiking, she inadvertently strayed from the designated trail, leading to her becoming disoriented and lost.

Despite her attempts to contact her husband via text message, none of them were successfully sent due to the poor cell phone reception in the area.

“in somm trouble,” she texted on July 22, 2013, the day she left the trail. “Got off trail to go to br. now lost. can you call AMC to c if a trail maintainer can help me. somewhere north of woods road.”

When she didn't rendezvous with her husband on July 24, 2013, he notified the authorities of her disappearance, prompting the initiation of a sizable search effort.

Regrettably, Geraldine remained missing at the conclusion of the search. 

Her body was found over two years later on October 14th, 2015, less than 3,000 feet from the Appalachian Trail. 

Her journal revealed she had survived for 26 days. One of her final entries, dated 6 August 2013 read: “When you find my body, please call my husband George and daughter Kerry.”

This man came into my yard a couple of hours ago and offered to cut my grass for a certain price I didn't have

This man came into my yard a couple of hours ago and offered to cut my grass for a certain price I didn't have. A few minutes ago, I hear a loud noise outside of my house. I opened the door and noticed that he was cutting my grass. I went running out to him and yelled for him to stop... he shook his head no. He told me that he saw my kids playing in the yard and was worried about snakes being in the grass and biting them because the grass was too tall. I again told him to stop because I couldn’t pay him. He said that he didn’t need to be paid, he had grandchildren and that he hoped someone would look after them in the same way. I was brought to tears. I hugged him. We talked about different struggles we’ve had in life and he told me that this is what the news doesn’t report. He told me the news doesn’t report the black neighbor helping out the white neighbor because it isn’t good for the network to make money. I told him that he has a good heart. I told him I wish...

Crocodile bites off woman's arm in 'death roll. Part of victim's arm was found in the 7-foot reptile's stomach during dissection A woman walking her dogs in Australia had her arm bitten off by a crocodile in a "death roll". The victim, aged in her 60s, had been at Three Mile Creek in Wyndham, about 280 miles south-west of Darwin, when the predator attacked on Wednesday afternoon. The woman, missing her arm just above the elbow, reportedly needed to be convinced to get into a vehicle which had stopped to help as she did not want to get blood in the car. After being taken to Wyndham Hospital she was then flown to the Royal Darwin Hospital where she underwent surgery. She is understood to be in a stable condition. Resident Paul Cavanagh said his nephew and son-in-law picked the injured woman up and took her to hospital after seeing she was missing her arm just above her elbow. "She was standing on the side of the road just shocke...

  German women were r*ped by all armies at the end of the second world war. From the archive, 17 June 1955: Two years after the end of the war Berlin still smelled of death. Each street contained dozens of ruins and every ruin, especially after rain had fallen and there was still a dampness in the air, retained the same sickly smell. It may have been, as some Germans honestly believed, corpses buried beneath them, or it may have been the state of the drains. It may simply have been the projection of a short but stormy past into the greyness of that particularly uninviting present. Here are some images containing Graphic content visual material that is considered disturbing, offensive, or inappropriate. images from Execution of torturers and violence.

An unauthorized photo of Stalin: the moment he was informed that the Germans were about to take Kiev, 1941

 An unauthorized photo of Stalin: the moment he was informed that the Germans were about to take Kiev, 1941 An unauthorized photo of Stalin inside of the Kremlin shows the very moment he was informed that the German armies had advanced in Kyiv (August 1941). What you see here is a man who up until a few weeks before had absolute confidence in Plan A, and who now has no Plan B. The picture was taken by Komsomolskaya Pravda’s editor-in-chief. The photographer secretly defied orders to destroy it as it was deemed not to show Stalin in a positive light. Operation Barbarossa, the German attack on the Soviet Union, was the greatest military operation of World War II. It deployed thousands of aircraft, tanks, artillery guns, and more than six million soldiers. Furthermore, it brought two of probably the most totalitarian regimes in history against one another. However, in the first few weeks of the operation, it didn’t look like the clash of two giants. The German a...

Mohamed Abukar Ibrahim, 48, was stoned to death by militants from the Hizb Al-Islam group in Afgoye, district Somalia, in 2009

Mohamed Abukar Ibrahim, 48, was stoned to death by militants from the Hizb Al-Islam group in Afgoye, district Somalia, in 2009 Stoning is a form of execution by torture where the individual who throws the deadly stone cannot be identified. In some countries, those sentenced to stoning, or “lapidation” as it is also called, are buried in a hole and covered with soil (men up to their waists; women to a line above their breasts), according to Article 102 of the Islamic Penal Code. A selected group then executes the alleged adulterers using rocks and sticks. Those able to escape the hole during stoning can be freed, according to Islamic law, a feat that is much more difficult for women than for men because so much more of their body is covered during lapidation. Stoning is considered a form of community justice and has its fair share of critics both among human rights groups and Islamic clerics. In Somalia, a 48-year old man was buried up to his waist and stoned...
