Anna Marie Choudhary admits strangling her sister's boyfriend, John McGuire, in 2019. Still, she says her father, Larry Paul McClure Sr., told her to do it. Forced her to do the killing, in fact.
But wait. There's more.
John McGuire was smashed over the head with a wine bottle, injected with a batch of lousy meth that failed to crystalize, tortured, and only then, Anna choked the life out of him.
Three months later, Anna, of Boone, North Carolina, says her sister, Amanda, and father were married.
Surprised? No. Turns out Amanda and daddy had had an incestuous relationship for a long time.
Oh. And did I forget to mention that McGuire was murdered on or about February 15, 2019? That's right — Valentine's Day.
Believe it or not, guilt got to Larry. He wrote a letter to West Virginia State Police to report the torture and murder of John McGuire. Troopers and a forensic team pulled John's body from a grave dug into the backyard of a home in Skygusty, West Virginia, on September 24 of that year.
Although Anna, during her sentencing hearing in January, said it was all her father's idea, Larry told state police detectives his daughter and future wife, Amanda, was the operation's ringleader.
Seriously?
"I cannot tell you why Amanda wanted John McGuire dead," Larry McClure wrote, then alleging that Amanda was spending McGuire's monthly Social Security checks.
"I am asking for this to be over and not waisting [sic} the taxpayers money and hurting the family members on both sides of this. John McGuires family and my family."
Anna pled guilty to a second-degree murder charge, January 28, 2021, and is looking at spending the next 40 years in prison. Same for her sister, Daddy's blushing bride, Amanda. She pled to second-degree too and will do 40 years in a prison cell.
As for Daddy Dearest, Larry Paul McClure Sr. of Pendleton, Kentucky, he'll do life in prison without parole on a charge of first-degree murder.
But as Larry wrote in his letter to the West Virginia State Police, there's no reason to feel sorry for him (as if you would)…
"All I can do is hope for mercy on this, but my sentence on this really does not matter because I am old and in bad health. I will never live to see the parole board in (15) years anyway and that is OK …
"I will say I am sorry for my part in this crime to both my family and John McGuire's family."
Won't You Be My Neighbor: A Shocking True Crime Story
What a nice guy, this fellow named Chad Mason, in Clearwater, Florida. A real buddy-buddy, he agrees to take his friend’s labradoodle for a walk on a quiet Friday morning.
Then, suddenly, everything, and I mean everything, goes wrong.
For some God only knows why reason, Chad starts having sex with the labradoodle. Talk about f-ing the pooch!
Chad’s raping the poor dog right out in front of God and every neighbor in the hood. We’re talking broad frickin’ daylight!
Well, one of these neighbors decides they’ve seen enough and runs up to Chad. Tells him point blank to get his thing out of the poor labradoodle.
Chad complies quickly and takes off running.
Where’s he go?
Church, that’s where.
Chad makes a beeline for the Northwood Presbyterian Church, and wouldn’t you know it, his day gets worse.
Chad, running like a dog rapist making his getaway, runs into a Christmas nativity scene, smashing it to the ground. Of course. How appropriate, right?
Then he wrecks several potted plants out in front of the church.
Does he stop there? Come on. You should know by now there’s no quit in Chad.
He runs again and destroys a mailbox because, why not?
Chad tries to steal a car.
You’ve probably guessed by now that he doesn’t get away with the car.
Cops show up and arrest Chad.
He’s booked, and a few hours later, Chad’s out on bail, back in the ’hood, promising he will show up for his next court hearing.
Of course, this is all “allegedly.”
Chad is innocent until proven guilty.
Of course.
Backpacker Gets Five Years For Killing Sex Worker:
A Shocking True Crime Story
Tobias Pick had sex with Jingai Zhang once before, but the second time was different, and there will never be a third.
Tobias, a German backpacking through Tasmania, would never have paid Jingai for sex this second time if it hadn’t been for a fight with his girlfriend.
But Tobias and his woman did argue, so he went to Jingai for sexual solace.
The first time they did the dirty dead for cash, Tobias says Jingai wanted him to choke her, erotic asphyxiation in the sex manuals.
Tobias says he refused but said he’d do it the second time.
In a 50 Shades of Grey defense, Jingai, Tobias says, wanted him to chock him with one hand at first while they were having sex but then told him to get behind her and use her dress.
Wrap it around my throat and choke me, she told me, Tobias claims.
So he did it.
And Jingai died. Chocked to death. Her husband, who had no idea Jingai was a sex worker or had a boyfriend, found her dead body.
Tobias was arrested on a murder charge but convicted of manslaughter.
He’ll do no more than five years in prison.
“If I was a flapper with pretty legs, I never would have been convicted and given the death penalty. Well, I’ll die with my boots on an’ in full health. An’ that’s more’n most of you old coots’ll be able to boast on.”
