Take a Look at Photos of the Real Serial Killers in ‘Mindhunter’ and the Actors Who Portrayed Them

The second season on the hit show Mindhunter dropped on Netflix in August and fans are pretty happy about how the new episodes turned out.

The show is based on true events surrounding how the FBI established their behavioral science unit in the 1970s to study serial killers and other murderers. In real life, as in the show, the investigators interviewed serial killers to try to learn how their minds worked, back when “serial killer” was a new concept.

Here are photos of the real-life killers and the actors who portray them in the show.

2. Charles Manson – Played by Damon Herriman

3. Charles “Tex” Watson – Played by Christopher Backus

Away from Manson, Tex Watson’s ambitions were growing. “I decided to call up an old girl friend… Her name was Luella {a pseudonym} and I'd gotten to know her casually while Rich and I were still living at the house on the beach. During the week we were waiting for our army physicals, he'd taken me to see her once and… I felt she'd been especially friendly to me that day. Right now I needed a friend. I got a lover. The first time I hitchhiked over to her apartment I ended up moving in. Luella… didn't have a real job; she kept herself going by dealing a little grass and LSD among her friends – nothing big time but enough to get by. She had an old Hollywood-Spanish apartment with eucalyptus trees all around and a patio that overlooked the driveway to an exclusive private club for professional magicians and entertainment stars. Sometimes we'd sunbathe on the deck, drinking beer and smoking grass while we watched all the big limousines drive up for parties, dumping out beautiful people whom we could never quite recognize. It was an easy life that Luella and I fell into. Combining her contacts with mine, we found we could sell a lot more dope than she'd been doing on her own…" It certainly sounds like Watson thought of himself as a drug dealer. In just a few months, he and ‘Louella’ (real name Rosina Kroner) would aim for a big score, with disastrous effects.

A Study Found That Drinking Red Wine Can Contribute to a Healthy Gut

Studies come and go extolling the benefits of having a glass of red wine (aside from stress relief) now and then (and now), so add this one to the mix. It claims that red wine has the potential to improve your gut health.

The study of almost 3,000 drinkers in the U.S., the U.K., and the Netherlands revealed that red wine drinkers have a higher diversity of gut microbiota than those who prefer beer, cider, or white wines, even when controlling for age, weight, diet, and socioeconomic status.

Having a healthy gut microbiome has been linked to physical and mental health, including curbing food cravings and the efficacy of certain medicines.

The King’s College research was led by Caroline Le Roy, who issued a statement about their findings.

“While we have long known of the unexplained benefits of red wine on heart health, this study shows that moderate red wine consumption is associated with greater diversity and healthier gut microbiota that partly explain its long-debated beneficial effects on health.”

They’re still looking into why this might be the case, though they posit it has to do with active compounds called polyphenols that are found in the beverage. The chemicals are found in the grape skins, and have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that may help fuel the microbes living in our guts.

The same chemicals are found in chocolate and coffee, so maybe take a look at those, too.

“Although we observed an association between red wine consumption and the gut microbiota diversity, drinking red wine rarely, such as once every two weeks, seems to be enough to observe an effect. If you must choose one alcoholic drink today, red wine is the one to pick as it seems to potentially exert a beneficial effect on you and your gut microbes, which in turn may also help weight and risk of heart disease. However, it is still advised to consume alcohol with moderation.”

Moderation is key with alcohol consumption, of course, and the authors point out that people often underreport their consumption, for obvious reasons – and also that there was no way for them to determine the causal relationship between drinking red wine and health.

It's all about the art of the pour. #PerUs

A post shared by PerUs Wine (@peruswine) on

The scientific community has spent a fair amount of time trying to decide whether the benefits of drinking wine outweigh the potential downsides, so for now, as ever, consume with caution.

But if you’re going to pick up an alcoholic beverage, red wine seems like the best possible choice.

A Maid of Honor Was Told She Could “Wear Anything” to the Wedding…So She Did

If someone asks you to be their maid-of-honor, it comes with more than a few expenses and responsibilities, to boot. You’ve got to help them pick a dress, be there for emotional and moral support, plan a bachelorette party and a shower, and offer to drive the getaway car if she changes her mind at the last minute.

You also need to be willing to lift the brides spirit. Make her laugh.

That said, I doubt bride Deanna Adams expected her maid of honor (and sister) Christina Meador to show up in a towering T-Rex costume.

When you're maid of honor and told you can wear anything you choose…I regret nothing ?

Posted by Christina A. Meador on Saturday, August 10, 2019

As you can see, the pictures are hilarious and awesome…to all of us.

It’s a good thing that Deanna has a sense of humor, too, telling the Daily Mail,

“My sister is awesome and I genuinely was not kidding when I said she could wear whatever she wanted.”

For her part, Christina is happy with her choice.

“When you’re maid of honor and told you can wear anything you choose…I regret nothing.”

It’s hard to have regrets when thousands of people have seen and liked your brand of humor, I guess, and even more so when you’re standing up with the coolest bride ever.

Would you wear this if you were given the license to wear anything? Or do you think this maid of honor took things a step too far?

A Family Found Grandma’s Lost Dentures…in the Dog’s Mouth

Dogs are the greatest. They make us happy, they comfort us when we’re sad, and yes, they make us laugh.

And this little dog, named Luna, went above and beyond in that last category.

She found Grandma’s missing dentures. It sounds pretty helpful, right? After all, they were missing…

Posted by Anna Carolina Lima on Wednesday, September 4, 2019

Luna belongs to Anna Carolina Lima and her fiancee, who live in Brazil. They also regularly take the dog to visit Lima’s grandmother, who sometimes keeps the little pup when the two lovebirds need someone to watch her for a while.

Posted by Anna Carolina Lima on Wednesday, September 4, 2019

Luna was there one day when grandma decided she needed a nap. She tucked her dentures under her pillow the way she always does so as to not lose them while she snoozes…

Which is when Luna snagged her opportunity.

And also grandma’s dentures.

Image Credit: Facebook

Grandma spent hours looking for her teeth after waking to find them gone – but when Anna returned to gather her pup, she found them basically immediately.

Image Credit: Facebook

And the pictures are truly wonderful. I mean, just look at that pup with her people teeth!

Image Credit: Facebook

Though it is a little bit gross, and though grandma may find herself needing a new set of dentures, Lima and her grandmother weren’t mad. I mean, just look at that smile!

Dogs are the best.

This Is Why You Should Put a Quarter on a Cup of Ice Before You Evacuate for a Hurricane

Hurricanes are nothing to mess around with, and it’s vital to be as prepared as possible before an emergency happens. One helpful trick to keep in mind: the “one cup tip.”

The one cup tip tends to go viral on social media every time a major hurricane pops up, since first appearing on Facebook in 2016 around the time of Hurricane Matthew. If you need to evacuate before a storm, this tip helps you figure out whether your food may have gone bad while you were gone.

Just put a cup of water into the freezer, allow it to freeze solid, and then put a quarter on top. Leave it in your freezer.

If you get back and the quarter is still on top of the frozen water, then you know that the water stayed frozen the entire time — which means the electricity stayed on, and the food in the freezer never defrosted, so it should still be safe to eat.

For those of you that are evacuating from the coast, I just heard a great tip. It's called the one cup tip. You put a…

Posted by Sheila Pulanco Russell on Wednesday, October 5, 2016

If, on the other hand, the quarter is now on the bottom of the cup, it’s a sign that the food in the freezer defrosted and then refroze while you were away. That means it’s not safe, and you should throw it away, just to be cautious.

The one cup tip is helpful for any disaster scenario when power outages are a concern — not just hurricanes.

Keep in mind that this tip isn’t completely foolproof, however. Frozen water takes quite a long time to melt in the freezer, and ice floats in water. If the power is out for long enough to melt some of the ice but not all of it, the quarter may not change position. When in doubt, throw it out!

This Is Why You Should Never Buy Batteries from Dollar Stores

There are some things that you should simply never buy at dollar stores — like batteries. Batteries from the dollar store are much lower-quality, according to experts.

Walk into any dollar store, and you’ll likely find a rack of batteries sold in bulk packages for just $1 per package. At such a low price, those batteries are definitely tempting (just like everything else at the dollar store).

But before you throw these $1 packages into your cart, you should know that they may not be worth the savings.

Photo Credit: iStock

Dollar stores typically sell carbon-zinc batteries, whereas most name brand batteries (like Duracell or Energizer) are alkaline batteries. Carbon-zinc batteries carry way less energy and therefore last for less time than alkaline batteries.

For example, a AA battery from Energizer carries 10,798 joules, while a battery from Duracell from 9398 joules. A battery from Dollar General? Only 2983 joules. That’s a huge downgrade.

Dollar store batteries are also more likely to leak. Reader’s Digest reports that battery packages from brands like Sunbeam and Panasonic were stamped with warnings that they should be used only in “low-drain” devices, like clock radios.

Photo Credit: iStock

Frankly, it’s a huge pain when batteries run out over and over. It’s also impractical for emergency scenarios, when you need your battery-operated devices to work.

For those reasons, it’s best to just pay the full price for batteries that will provide more power and last longer.
