Watched 'Into the Wild' last night. Well worth watching. Surprised at the end that it was based on a true story. I think it is an interesting story at the very least:

Here is a Wiki piece on the main man: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_McCandless

Another interesting story (saw it on Twitter last night) was about this local thug who was shot dead in a small town with loads of witnesses: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_McElroy. despite everyone knowing everyone else, no one saw who shot McElroy.

Anyone got any other Wiki links to interesting characters?

Sean Penn did a documetary on McCandless, he retraced the steps that McCandless took including finding the bus where McCandless was stranded.

Worryingly I have actually read most of the articles on the serial killers.  Have a strange fascination with them and the level of detail (and pictures) on wikipedia.

Same as. I imagine most people are the same with murder cases, serial killers etc.
I love a good conspiracy theory as well. Most of them on that list don't really wet my appetite though. Liked the JFK ones.
