It's strange how things that were common 100 years ago are now sort of dismissed.

E.g. Night Soil in gardening.

sure it's smelly for a short period of time.

But a lot of people with Septic tanks notice that the plants in the Septic Field do REALLY WELL.

After working as a butcher’s apprenticeship for seven years, Robert Pickton inherited his family’s piggery in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia in Canada. However, he started butchering female sex workers and feeding them to his pigs.
In 1997, a female sex worker narrowly escaped from Pickton’s farm after she was handcuffed and stabbed in the abdomen.

Pickton was initially arrested for the but was let go after it was determined that the woman had battled with drugs and therefore her accounts could not be trusted. At the time of the arrest his cloths were seized for DNA testing but this was not done until 2004.
When attention was drawn again to his home in 2002, investigators made a gruesome discovery: freezer stocked with human remain, several human bones in the pigsties suggesting he had fed his victims to his pigs.
Although he was charged with 26 murders, Pickton was only convicted on six counts of second-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole for 25 years.

This is the last photo ever taken of Belgian multimillionaire Alfred Loewenstein, once the third-richest man in the world. After boarding his private plane at England's Croydon Airport on July 4, 1928, he simply vanished in the middle of the flight.
While the plane was cruising 4,000 feet above the English Channel, Loewenstein's crew suddenly noticed that he was missing and quickly discovered that he had apparently opened the rear door of the plane and simply walked right through it.

After making an emergency landing, the whole crew was questioned by French authorities and insisted that Loewenstein was in no way śuiciᶁal — and that he must have mistaken the exit of his own plane for the bathroom door.
However, aviation authorities concluded that such an accident would have been impossible. For one thing, the powerful winds at Loewenstein's altitude would have made the door immediately slam shut behind him, yet it had not. Still, his dḛath was ruled an accident. But to this day, no one knows for sure what happened to Alfred Loewenstein — though theories include a m̃urderous conspiracy involving the opium trade and some of the world’s most powerful gangsters.
