Hi all,
Vengi here with a dose of the strange and the unusual for you.
So
today whilst writing a short story for this anthology I am working on
I stumbled upon an interesting phenomenon. Some background info, this
specific short story is about a serial killer who only kills girls
with the name 'Jessica'. It got me thinking about the name and if
that scenario might be plausible. What I discovered was way, way more
then plausible and downright creepy. See, the name 'Jessica' has this
weird phenomenon around it.
Now
this was first pointed out to me be my good friend Blinky. It would
seem that Jessica, as a name, holds a very precarious balance in the
world. Based on our research, for every Jessica killed in some
manner, another Jessica has to kill at least one person. Now this
might seem absurd at first, but hear me out.
In
1989 a seven year old Jessica Carr was shot to death by a 9 year old
boy. The very next year Jessica Wiseman and her boyfriend murdered
her parents. And so balance of what I refer to as the 'Jessica
Phenomenon' was restored.
Now
that might seem random, but there's more and it gets a bit dark at
times.
In
November 1995 a Jessica “Jessie” Hurlstone was bludgeoned to
death. The same damn month, Jessica Colwell beat a homeless,
African-American man to death. Was this just a lover's quarrel and a
senseless act of bigotry by the two Jessicas or is there more to it?
We've
researched over 30 cases of murders and murderers with regards to the
Jessica Phenomenon and have found some really disturbing correlations
:
- The dates are always close to one another. With the killer Jessica having her victim within half a year of the killed Jessica. This means that in any given year there seems to be at least one of each Jessica and so the balance is maintained.
- In cases where the killed Jessicas outnumber the murderer ones for the year, the killer Jessicas all have a body count high enough to keep in balance with the killed Jessicas. One in particular killed 6 people in one day.
- The method of murder tends to match for the killed and the killer Jessica alike. Case in point, Jessica Haban committed suicide in December 2016, 5 months earlier Jessica Strauss killed herself after killing a friend.
- If no other murderer is around to kill the Jessica that needs to die, they suffer freak accidents at their own hands such as Jessica Azadi below.
Other
interesting bits is that it seems that neither victim nor murderer
always has a clear idea of why things happen as they do. One Jessica
Davies murdered a man in 2010, she can recall the knife going into
his throat but to this day can still not explain what drove her to do
it. I think we all know she did it because of the Jessica Phenomenon.
You
might be asking what happens if a Jessica is somehow restrained or
otherwise prevented from harming herself or others. Well, even then a
life is to be ruined by the Jessica Phenomenon, as evidenced by
Jessica Hicks who was sentenced to jail in March 2014. She did not
kill anybody and I can only speculate as to the exact course of
events but here's what I think happened.
Her
boyfriend, Craig, was a known car thief, but he undoubtedly loved
Jessica very much. I assume that she found out about the Jessica
Phenomenon and in trying to prevent herself from harming anybody, she
and her boyfriend lived a transient lifestyle with Craig keeping her
violent urges in check. In his desperate desire to help the woman he
loved, he may have committed some crimes, mostly to keep himself and
his beloved Jessica safe.
However,
balance had to be maintained and so when cops chased them down and
killed him it only made sense that it happened in state where, by law
Jessica could be held accountable even if the police officer fired
the fatal blow.
Further
creepy and notable deaths surrounding the Jessica Phenomenon :
Jessica
Carson beat her child to death with a hammer after a failed exorcism
– Dec 2008
Jessica
Martel killed – Apr 2009
Jessica
Azadi killed by falling fireplace - Sep 2016
Jessica
Martin accidentally ran over a motorcyclist – Jan 2017
Jessica
Simo killed a man yesterday – 19 Apr 2017
That
last one is the most recent on our list, so if your name is Jessica
or you know of a Jessica near you, do be careful as one Jessica is
going to die soon.
