Bloodlines and Bad Decisions: Welcome to the Family

They say you can’t choose your family — but you can choose what you do with the truth.

Welcome to Bloodlines and Bad Decisions, a true crime blog that dives deep into the tangled mess of bad blood, buried secrets, and choices that echo through generations. Here, we’ll unravel stories that remind us how a single moment — a careless lie, a jealous rage, a desperate betrayal — can turn an ordinary family into a headline.

Each week, I’ll bring you tales of murders that were decades in the making, unsolved mysteries that haunt entire bloodlines, and scandals so shocking they could only come from the people closest to us. Some of these stories are well-known; others you may never have heard before. All of them remind us that monsters aren’t always strangers — sometimes they share our last name.

Why true crime? Because every crime is a puzzle — but when family is involved, it’s a labyrinth. I’ve always been fascinated by the “why” behind the “who.” What makes a parent snap? A sibling betray? A legacy crumble? These stories keep me awake at night — and now, I want to share them with you.

So, grab your cup of coffee (or glass of wine — no judgment here), curl up somewhere safe, and get ready to meet the families you’re glad you don’t belong to.

This is Bloodlines and Bad Decisions. You’re one of us now.

The Girl in the Hollow: The Unsolved Mystery of Evelyn Hartley

  The Girl in the Hollow: The Unsolved Mystery of Evelyn Hartley In a small Wisconsin town in 1953, a teenager vanished while doing something completely ordinary—babysitting. Evelyn Hartley was only 15 years old, a straight-A student, and the daughter of a college professor. She wasn’t the type to run away. She didn’t have enemies. But on October 24th, 1953, she disappeared without a trace—and the silence surrounding her case has echoed for decades. This is a story about a locked house, a pair of missing shoes, and a mystery that’s haunted La Crosse for over 70 years. A Babysitter, A Quiet Night, and Then—Nothing It was homecoming night. Evelyn couldn’t go to the game because she had agreed to babysit for the Rasmussens, a local couple who needed someone to watch their 20-month-old daughter. The Rasmussens left around 6:30 p.m., and Evelyn’s father, Richard Hartley, called her at 8:30 to check in. She didn’t answer. By 9:30, uneasy and unable to get her on the phone, he drove...

Vanished from the Rock: The Great Alcatraz Escape That Still Baffles Authorities

Vanished from the Rock: The Great Alcatraz Escape That Still Baffles Authorities June 12, 1962. San Francisco wakes to shocking news: three inmates have escaped from the nation’s most secure prison— Alcatraz Island . It sounds like the plot of a thriller, but this was no movie. This was real. Frank Morris and brothers John and Clarence Anglin were hardened criminals, placed in Alcatraz because escape was said to be impossible (pictures of the men below). Yet somehow, they slipped out of their cells, scaled the prison walls, and disappeared into the freezing waters of San Francisco Bay. The question that has haunted investigators, families, and conspiracy theorists ever since: Did they make it? Life on the Rock Alcatraz wasn’t just a prison—it was a statement. Perched on an isolated island, battered by cold tides and treacherous currents, it was meant to be escape-proof. The prison housed the worst of the worst: mobsters, murderers, and escape artists. Men like Al Capone and “Machine Gu...

The Midnight Heir: A Double Life Drenched in Blood

When the Granger family name was whispered in New England’s wealthiest circles, it conjured images of sprawling estates, silk dinner jackets, and old money that came with old secrets. But nobody guessed just how deep — and how deadly — those secrets went. At the center of it all was Nathaniel Granger III , a handsome heir who, by day, was the charming face of the family’s shipping empire. By night? He was a ghost slipping through alleyways, hiding a double life that would explode in scandal and murder. The Golden Boy with Shadows in His Eyes Nathaniel was everything a Granger heir was supposed to be: Ivy League educated, devastatingly charismatic, and generous — at least in public. But those close to him saw the cracks. The late-night calls, the sudden trips, the whispers behind locked doors in the Granger mansion. He didn’t just have one mistress — he had a second apartment in the city where he kept an entirely separate life: a woman named Vivian Cross , a nightclub singer who kn...
