Timeless Tales

She was found where no one is meant to be left. On December 16, along the road to Playa Bagdad in Matamoros, Mexico, an elderly woman—somewhere between 80 and 90 years old—lay unconscious at the edge of the street. Alone. Defenseless. Silent. The cold had already begun to claim her body. Her skin bore injuries. Her breath was weak. And in her pockets, there was nothing—no name, no identification, no clue to who she was or who she once mattered to. No one knows her story. No one knows if she has children. No one knows if someone, somewhere, is waiting for her to come home. Red Cross emergency workers arrived just in time. They treated her for hypothermia and rushed her to a hospital, where she now lies under fluorescent lights instead of the open sky. Authorities and social services have stepped in, trying to trace a life that seems to have been erased. But the hardest question remains unanswered: How does a human being reach the end of their life this way? Not with family holding th...

"Let me tell you, it is a degrading, horrible experience when you realize you're losing your husband to another woman." When Johnny Cash's first wife Vivian Liberto filed for divorce after 13 years of marriage, she fully expected him to wed his mistress June Carter. But she never could have predicted that she would be vilified in pop culture as the bitter ex-wife who tried to stop him from singing.  To make matters worse, she was temporarily excommunicated from the Catholic Church due to her divorce and banned from taking communion — a ban that was only lifted when Cash himself wrote to the archdiocese confessing his failure as a husband. Discover the true story of their tumultuous marriage only hinted at in "My Darling Vivian": The Real Story Of Mollie Burkhart That Helped Inspire  Killers Of The Flower Moon In the 1920s, Mollie Burkhart narrowly avoided becoming a victim of the Osage Murders in Oklahoma — which her own husband Ernest participated...

 When hatred turn to poison what can human being do to another  So that we never forget what man is capable of. September 1941, on the outskirts of Kyiv. In just two days, inside a ravine called Babi Yar, one of the fastest and most brutal massacres of the Holocaust unfolded. After the Nazi occupation of the city, Jewish residents were ordered to report with their identification papers and suitcases. Many believed they were being deported. They were wrong. It was a carefully planned trap. On September 29 and 30, nearly 34,000 men, women, and children were marched to the edge of the ravine. There, the Einsatzgruppen—mobile Nazi killing units—assisted by local collaborators, forced them to undress. Family after family was lined up and shot. Their bodies fell into the ravine, piling layer upon layer, until the earth itself seemed to disappear beneath them. There were no gas chambers. No concentration camps. Only rifles, ammunition, and silence. Babi Yar was not an ...

Kindertransport: Saving Children from the Holocaust, 1938-1939 A camp leader rings the dinner bell for refugees at the Dovercourt holiday camp, 1939. (Photo by Reg Speller). Imagine getting on a train and leaving your parents and your family behind. Imagine arriving in a new place, where you don’t speak the language and where everything is different. People wear clothes that seem strange; the food is different too. Imagine feeling that great danger looms and threatens those you love most, yet you have no idea what might be happening to your family back home. This is what happened to ten thousand children who escaped Nazi-occupied countries on the Kindertransport, a rescue effort that took place from 1938 to 1939. Some of the first unaccompanied child refugees to arrive in England as part of the Kindertransport. December 2, 1938. (Photo by Fred Morley).

Glenna Duram and her husband, Martin Duram lived together in Sand Lake, Michigan. Their marriage was far from rosy, as they struggled to make ends meet; Martin was not working because he was involved in an auto accident in 1995. He relied on his disability benefits. Glenna on the other hand, was a casino addict. In April 2015, a month before the shooting, they received a notice that their house would be taken away. Martin was taken aback because he believed his wife was paying the mortgage. With frequent quarreling, Glenna bought a gun and shot her husband to d*eath before turning it on herself. The bullet, however, grazed only a part of her head. A neighbor responded to the shooting and called the police. Authorities initially believed the family had been attacked by an outsider until months later when incriminating evidence came from their pet parrot, Bud. The police received a 2-minute video showing Bud repeating the conversation the couple had before the shooting. Bud...

Reyna Angélica Marroquín was a young Salvadoran woman who arrived in the United States in the mid-1960s, hoping to build a new life. She found work at a plastic flower factory in New York and also helped as a nanny in a nearby home. Over time, she began a relationship with her employer, Howard Elkins, a married man with children. In 1969, Angélica became pregnant with his child, but complications arose soon after. Although Elkins had promised to leave his wife, Angélica decided to tell the truth. She called Elkins’ wife to confess her relationship with him and that she was expecting his baby. Mysteriously, after that phone call, Angélica disappeared completely. Her family in El Salvador never heard from her again for decades. It wasn’t until 1999, when a couple purchased Elkins’ old house in Jericho, New York, that the mystery began to unravel. While cleaning the basement, they found a dusty old barrel containing the mummified remains of a pregnant woman, along with artificia...

A tiny baby fell from a high-rise building, and right at that moment a stray black cat was walking below. In one incredible jump, the cat sprang up, caught the child in mid-air, and broke the fall with its own body. The baby lived. This really happened—it’s not some made-up story. WATCH VIDEO CLIP  Some people call it pure luck, but there are so many true stories of animals saving human lives. In Russia, stray cats have curled around abandoned babies in the snow to keep them warm until help came. In America, cats have knocked babies away from open windows or led adults to a child in danger. These animals don’t think the way we do, yet when something terrible is happening, they just act. They rush in and help with whatever they have—four paws and a brave heart. WATCH VIDEO CLIP This black cat’s courage also reminds us that stray cats and dogs aren’t just problems wandering the streets. They’re living creatures who share our cities with us. When we show them a little ki...

In Fresno, California lived a man who claimed he was Jesus and the only righteous man alive. He even wrote his own bible. Marcus Wesson started his chain of abuse with his then 8-year-old niece, Elizabeth. This continued until the age of 14 when she got pregnant and had their first child. Fast forward into the future, Marcus had married three of his nieces and two of his daughters with a total of 15 children.

What would you do if your wife became paralyzed and you had to choose between earning a living or staying home to care for her? Nie Jianwen didn't choose. He found a third option. The 39-year-old truck driver from Longnan in Gansu Province, northwest China, has been working in Shanghai since 2007. That's thousands of kilometers from his hometown. For years, he would make the long hauls while his wife Cao Yingying stayed home, taking care of everything and raising their two sons. Then in 2020, Cao suffered a brain hemorrhage. She survived, but the stroke left her paralyzed. Nie faced an impossible situation. He had two young children at home and a 76-year-old mother who couldn't possibly care for a disabled daughter-in-law on top of two grandchildren.

He brought Cao wit...

 The Farmer Who Bought the Most Beautiful Slave, But Regretted It the Next Day The rain had quit sometime before sunrise, leaving the streets slick as oiled slate. Wheels hissed. Hooves knocked. Men in broadcloth stepped around puddles as if the city itself ought to apologize for getting their boots dirty. Thomas Whitmore told himself he had no business at the auction. He’d said it out loud, too, to the man who drove his wagon: No business at all. It sounded like virtue when it left his mouth.  It sounded like restraint, like the kind of wisdom that should settle in a forty-two-year-old widower’s bones. But his reasons were always tidy things. A neat row of explanations, like tobacco plants lined up to impress a visitor. His labor force was “adequate.” His books were “in order.” His household was “managed.” And yet, something had been missing since Catherine died. Not the house. Not the children. Not his name in the county records. Something smaller, quieter, more dange...
