#9 Mel Ignatow's Deadly Glass Table
Mel Ignatow is probably one of the most hated men in Louisville, Kentucky. He asked a former girlfriend, Mary Ann Shore, to help him plan the murder of then-girlfriend Brenda Schaefer. Shore took photos while Ignatow bound, raped and sodomized Schaefer. They buried Schaefer's body behind Shore's house. Even though Shore told the FBI that Ignatow committed the crime, the jury concluded that Shore was the murderer due to her behavior during her testimony. Ignatow was then acquitted. Six months after the trial ended, evidence surfaced showing that Ignatow, without a shadow of a doubt, bound Schaefer to a glass table and killed her. Double jeopardy prevented a new murder trial, but Ignatow was put on trial for perjury. It was then that he confessed to killing Schaefer. He served five years of an eight year sentence for perjury. After his release, he reportedly hit his head on the same glass table and died slowly and alone in his house.
