The son of a US Air Force Colonel, David Dowler led a relatively normal life in Albuquerque, New Mexico, except for his fanciful and fictional tales of being a former spy and contract killer. Most people laughed off his tall tales as the ramblings of a friendly eccentric. However Dowler concocted a more deadly scheme - he would be a psychic who could predict other people's deaths. Between 1983 and 1987, several of Dowler's friends and co-workers would be found dead. They would all be discovered by loved ones that received a phone call from Dowler, who would claim to have psychic abilities and 'sensed' that something was wrong. Though the early deaths were ruled 'accidental', police started getting suspicious of Dowler as the body count grew higher.

Angel Maturino Reséndiz, aka the Railroad Killer, was an illegal alien from Mexico who wandered the Texas/Mexico border, bludgeoning or shooting his male victims and sometimes raping and strangling female victims between 1997 and 1999. He would rob the victims and send the jewels back to his wife in Mexico. During a short time in 1999 he was listed on the FBI's Ten most Wanted list, but he surrendered to a Texas Ranger at the behest of his own sister soon afterward. He was suspected as responsible for as many as 24 homicides, but he formally charged with 14 deaths.
Aloha Flight 243 was a Boeing 737 on an inter-island flight between Hilo (on the big island of Hawaii) and Honolulu (on the island of Oahu). On April 28th, 1988, the plane suffered a catastrophic structural failure, with a large portion of the upper canopy of the plane ripping off in mid flight. A flight attendant was killed instantly and the terrified passengers stayed strapped into their seats, as the plane made an emergency landing on Maui. What is most astonishing is that the plane made it safely to land, despite damage that would have caused other planes suffer complete structural failure.
