( I’LL FILL IT WITH LEAD)                                                                                                                                                                     Glennon Engleman,  Hitman and fulltime Dentist. Here’s yet another crazy tale of murder. I don’t get what happens to these idiots that drives them to murder. This story is about the main reason for most murders money. Lets take a look at this guy. Born Glennon Edward Engleman February 6, 1927 in St. Louis  Missouri.   He checks out on March  3 1999 aged 72 years. A United States Army veteran and a St. Louis  dentist, planned and carried out at least 7 murders for monetary gain over the course of 30 years. He was already serving 2 life sentences in a Missouri  state prison when he pleaded guilty to the murder of a man and his wealthy parents in a separate contract killing that occurred in  Illinois.  Engleman  was a sociopath, once stating that his talent was to kill without feeling, and he enjoyed every moment of planning and carrying out killings and disposing of the bodies. In order that it brought financial rewards. His first known killing occurred in collaboration with his ex-wife. His ex-wife Ruth  married another man, increased his life insurance and then  Engleman  murdered him, both sharing the money. This became his M.O. tactics for other murders. Academically he was an above average student in school, but he didn’t excel in any specific subject.
He graduated in dentistry at  Washington University  in St. Louis, in 1954 under his  GI Bill.  He had previously served in the  US Army Air Corps. 1958:  Engleman is suspected of the murder of James Stanley Bullock, 27, a clerk for  Union Electric Company  of  Missouri  and part-time student. Shot dead around the  St. Louis Art MuseumEdna Ruth Bullock  and  James Bullock  were married on June 28, 1958, they had been married for 5 & 1/2 months on the date he was murdered. Edna Ruth Bullock  was Engleman’s  ex-wife prior to her marriage with  James Bullock,  she collected $64,000 from James Bullock’s  life insurance. These 2 are pretty lethal. 1963 Engleman  is suspected in the murder of Eric Frey,  a business partner of Engleman  at  Pacific Drag Strip,  Engleman  bashed his skull in with a rock, threw him down a well, and used dynamite to blow him up afterwards. Ok no trace there, what a fucking crazy dude. He then split the insurance money with Frey’s  widow. Holy shit he got the man’s wife in on it. 1976  Peter J. Halm  is shot dead in Pacific,   Missouri. His wife, Carmen Miranda Halm,  a former dental assistant trainee who had worked for Engleman  and known him since childhood, ordered the hit to collect a $60,000 from the life policy of on Halm.  Now we get real insane. 1977  Arthur  and Vernita Gusewelle  at their farmhouse near  Edwardsville, Illinois.  Arthur  is shot to death; Vernita  has her skull bashed in. Oh by the way all this bashing of skulls, he does this with a sledgehammer.   Engleman  then murdered the son  Ronald Gusewelle  in  East St. Louis, Illinois  17 months later so his widow  Barbara Gusewelle Boyle  could claim the millions in life insurance she took out on her husband, the sole heir to his parents’ oil business as well.  Boyle  collected approximately $340,000  following her husband’s murder. Boyle  was convicted in her husband’s murder but got off  of the killing his mom & dad. She was later sentenced to 50 years behind bars for the murder of her husband. She was released from the  Dwight Correctional Center  on  October 10,  2009.  Robert Handy,  the accomplice, pleaded guilty to conspiring to commit the 3 Gusewelle  murders and was sentenced to 14 years and served his time in prison. Engleman  confessed to the 3 killings while in prison. No he’s not done. 1980 Sophie Marie Barrera,  owned the  South St Louis Dental Laboratory.  She is killed in car bomb explosion. Engleman  owed her over $14,000. September 25, 1980, a jury in federal court found Engleman guilty in the murder of Barrera.  Engleman  was accused of her murder to authorities by her son,  Frederick Barrera.  This guy was one of those very few, they can murder with out any remorse like drinking a glass of water. So I bet you can not wait for your next trip to the dentist.                                                                                ( Алекса́ндр Ви́кторович Соло́ник )   Sorry unless your Russian  or can read it.  Alexander Viktorovich Solonik   Born October 16, 1960 in  Kurgan, RSFSR Soviet Union.  Found dead in  Athens, Greece  January 31,  1997 aged 37 years. Was a  Russian  gangster, known for his reputation as a spot on bad  motherfucker.  A contract killer in the Russian  criminal underworld like no other.. AKA the  Macedonian  &  Superkiller  and in Valerianych,  Solonik  was involved in  Russian Mob  activity though out the 1990s until disappearing after his 2nd escape from prison. Solonik  was found dead in  Athens, Greece,  in 1997. This is one bad ass lets check him out shall we. As a child he showed great interest in martial arts and firearms. When finishing school,  Solonik  was conscripted into the Soviet Army   and was assigned to a tank regiment, a part of the group of Soviet  forces in Germany.  After his conscription ended, Solonik  joined the OMON  police agency and eventually received training at the Gorkovskiy Institute.  However, after 6 months he was expelled for extreme violence towards suspects, and upon returning home, Solonik  obtained a job as a gravedigger at the Kurgan  cemetery.      1987 he was charged with rape and sentenced to 8 years in prison. During a farewell meeting with his wife before he was imprisoned, Solonik  escaped by jumping from the 2nd floor (he would have never got off the 3rd floor) of the building. After several months he was apprehended 120 miles north of Kurgan,  and taken to the prison.     In prison Solonik  was designated to solitary confinement because he served on active duty and had some police training, but later was transferred to serve his prison sentence among the other prisoners. When it became known to the other inmates that Solonik  had worked for the police, he was marked for death. This shit could be a great movie. According to prison reports  Solonik  defended himself against 12 inmates at a time, earning the respect of his fellow prisoners. After 2 years of imprisonment, he escaped again. Told you this dude is the real deal.  Solonik  went back home to Kurgan,  joined the local criminal organization, and started work as a hitman. Solonik’s  first target, the leader of a rival organization, was murdered in 1990 in Tyumen.  After this hit, Solonik  went to Moscow,       with other members of the Kurgan  organization to seek work. In 1992, Solonik  assassinated Russian  “thief in law” Viktor Nikiforov,   and 6 months later he murdered another important Russian Mob boss. Look this guy was a killing machine designed to kill, and he loved it. Eventually, Solonik  surfaced in Greece  with a fake passport, which he secured from the Greek  consulate in Moscow. In Greece, Solonik  set up his own organization of around 50 men, which dealt in drug smuggling and contract killings, and bought several villas in an Athens suburb. Solonik’s  reputation now grew to legendary proportions with the public, and he was featured in Russia’s  Top 10 “Most Wanted” list.    In February 1997,  Greek  newspapers published articles that claimed a Russian  Mob boss had been found dead 15 miles from Athens.  The body of the mobster was found strangled to death and had no identification documents, though the authorities nevertheless identified the body as Alexander Solonik.  In the weeks after Solonik’s  body was found, Greek  authorities raided the villas belonging to Solonik’s  organization and found an arsenal of weapons. They also discovered that Solonik  had been hired to carry out a hit in Italy  before his death.  Holy shit people these 2 guys are as about as nutty as it gets.
