In 2006, a man in Portland, Oregon, hired a hitman to kill his 51-year-old wife, Susan Kuhnhausen. But he never imagined how it would end....
Susan Kuhnhausen was a trauma nurse and as a hobby and sport, she practiced wrestling for 30 years.
One afternoon, returning home, she was attacked in the bedroom by a man armed with a hammer, later recognized as Ed Haffey (pictured).
The man, however, did not know that the woman in front of him was not a docile middle-aged woman and must have been surprised when Susan with a lightning move, knocked him to the ground.
She immobilized him and performed the strangulation move not to kill him but to knock him out. But when the woman released him, the man got up more threatening than before.
At that point she decided to kill him.
Susan began to think about her family.
"Everyone has someone who loves them. Children, a wife, a mother, a father... the worst thing is not that someone tried to kill me, but that I had to kill someone else to survive. But I'm not ashamed because I didn't choose this death for him. I chose my life. I chose life."
The man chased her and blocked her in the hallway. He punched her in the face, splitting her lip and making her fall. He jumped on top of her and raised the hammer to hit her.
At that point, the adrenaline had completely invaded the woman's body. So she started to bite him (he had thought that if she died, her bites could be evidence). The man once again did not expect such a reaction. After all, we are talking about a person who weighed almost twice as much as Susan and with a horrendous past behind him, given that he had already killed a woman, precisely his ex.
She managed to block his hammer-wielding arm, wriggle free, and for the second time, perform the strangulation move. But this time she didn't stop when his face first turned red, or when it changed to purple. She remained in that position until she was sure he was dead.
Investigators managed to establish the connection with her husband, Mike Kuhnhausen, within days, and arrested him.
Ten years later, Susan still sobs intermittently when she tells her story. "When I cry, I feel better," she says.
She continued to work as a nurse until December 2014. Her job was to save lives. But after killing a man, people called her a hero.
Hero? What did that mean? And why did she, of all people, deserve such praise?
"They don't call you a hero for killing a man," her boss told her. “They call you a hero because they want to believe that, given the same circumstances, they too could survive.”

She and Kafka searched for the doll unsuccessfully.Kafka told her to meet him there the next day and they would come back to look for her.
The next day, when they had not yet found the doll, Kafka gave the girl a letter "written" by the doll saying;-
"Please don't cry. I took a trip to see the world. I will write to you about my adventures."
Thus began a story which continued until the end of Kafka's life. During their meetings, Kafka read the letters of the doll carefully written with adventures and conversations that the girl found adorable. Finally, Kafka brought back the doll (he bought one) that had returned to Berlin.
"It doesn't look like my doll at all," said the girl.
Kafka handed her another letter in which the doll wrote: "my travels have changed me." The little girl hugged the new doll and brought the doll with her to her happy home.
A year later Kafka died. Many years later, the now-adult girl found a letter inside the doll. In the tiny letter signed by Kafka it was written:
"Everything you love will probably be lost, but in the end, love will return in another way."
Embrace change. It's inevitable for growth. Together we can shift pain into wonder and love, but it is up to us to consciously and intentionally create that connection.

On September 19, 1991, a German couple, Erika and Helmut Simon, were hiking in the Ötztal Valley in the Austrian Alps when they found the body of what they thought was a mountaineer who had suffered an accident.
However, the body turned out to be much older: it had been frozen in the ice for over 5,300 years. The body was named after Ötzi, and he became known as the Iceman.
Around his body they found many things, including a bow and arrows, a copper axe, a flint knife in a woven sheath, two wooden containers with maple leaves, parts of a backpack, a leather bag with small objects, fur and leather clothing, shoes, and other small objects.
Investigators believe Ötzi had an arrowhead stuck in his left shoulder and other wounds, and that he was killed.

The call came during second period:
“Can you come down to Room 12? One of the eighth graders is refusing to take off his hat.”
When I got to my office, it was Jaden. Usually quiet, respectful. A good kid. But today, he was curled into the chair like he wanted to disappear. Hat pulled low
.“They laughed at me,” he mumbled.
He finally lifted the cap and my heart sank. His haircut was a mess. Jagged lines, random bald spots… the kind of thing middle schoolers will not let slide.I could’ve written him up. Sent him back to class. But this wasn’t about a dress code violation. This was about shame. About hiding. So instead, I went to my cabinet and pulled out my old barber kit. (Back in college, cutting hair was how I paid rent.)
“Let me help,” I said.
He nodded. I draped a towel over his shoulders and started shaping him up. As the first smooth line buzzed into place, I felt the tension leave his body. And then, he started talking. He talked about how laughter sticks with you. How it follows you home. And then… he told me about the scars. Tiny raised lines on the back of his scalp. I asked gently if they were recent.
“They’re from my mom’s ex-boyfriend,” he whispered. “He used to get mad. At her. At me. The last time, he threw a coffee mug.”
The haircut, it turns out, wasn’t a cousin’s bad attempt it was his. Or maybe it was him. Trying to apologize. Or trying to mark control again.And then Jaden said the words that made my blood run cold:
“He found us. Last night.”
He and his mom had left. New place, new start. But last night, the man showed up again. Said he’d changed. She let him in.That was it. I put the clippers down. My job had changed.“Jaden,” I said. “You’re not getting on that bus today. You’re staying right here. We’re going to make some calls. And we’re going to make sure you and your mom are safe.”
And that’s what we did. CPS. The police. A social worker. A mother on the phone, sobbing because she didn’t know what else to do. A plan. Emergency protective order. A new shelter with security.When Jaden left a few hours later, he stopped at my door. Hair clean. Lines crisp. Shoulders just a little straighter
.“Thank you,” he whispered.“You’re a good kid, Jaden,” I said. “You deserve to feel safe.”
He smiled a little, touched the back of his head where the scars were now hidden.“You know,” he said, “you’re a pretty good barber.” I smiled back. “I’m a better principal.”
That day, I broke a school rule. But I followed something bigger.I listened. I paid attention to why a kid was hiding instead of punishing him for how. Sometimes what they need isn’t discipline. It’s a safe place. And maybe… a decent haircut.

No, I don’t.
Is it possible that Jeffrey Epstein was suicidal? Yes, it’s possible. He repeatedly told people that he wasn’t suicidal, but it’s possible.
He was ordered to have a cellmate with him at all times. Despite this, his cellmate was transferred out but not replaced. Was that an honest mistake? It’s possible.
Several different cameras which should have had clear view of him simultaneously malfunctioned and their footage either didn’t exist or was “unusable”. Is it possible that was a genuine, innocent error? Yes, it’s possible.
The footage from the hallway outside which was released to show that no one entered and exited his cell around the time of his death, which the Attorney General assured us was unedited, was in fact, objectively edited to remove a key portion of footage. This is an objective fact. Why was this done, and lied about?
Not just one, but both of the guards on shift at the time fell asleep, and so failed to protect Jeffrey Epstein. This just so happened to occur when the cameras weren’t working (and also when his cellmate was absent), and Jeffrey Epstein somehow knew that he had this window of opportunity (how did he know? How could he have been aware of the status of the cameras and whether the guards were asleep?) and seized it, or else just got extraordinarily lucky in his timing? Is that possible? Sure, it’s technically possible.
He had the willpower to hang himself by bending his knees, when he could reach the floor and just straightening up would allow him to breathe? From a man who was well known and even self-described to be cowardly and averse to pain? Okay sure, it’s possible.
His hyoid bone was broken - an injury quite rare in suicides, but very typical of murder by strangulation. Is it possible for this to occur from a suicide? Yes it’s possible, though again, quite uncommon and typically taken as highly indicative of murder.

Do I think that all of these unusual factors lined up in a massive coincidence? No, I don’t. I think it seems far more likely that he was assassinated - particularly given that there was very obvious motive for any number of highly powerful people to want him dead.
Who do I think killed him? I don’t know and I’m not going to speculate on that. But as for my honest opinion, do I think he killed himself? No, I genuinely don’t.
