#7 - Recep Cetin
In August of 2011, the bodies of 2 Irish women were found buried in shallow graves in the woods
outside the popular Turkish resort town of Kusadasi. Subsequent medical examinations
determined that the victims, identified as Marion Graham and her friend, Cathy Dinsmore, had been
fatally stabbed. During the investigation that followed, local police brought waiter Recep Cetin
in for questioning. The latter had been dating Graham’s teenage daughter, Shannon,
for a period of roughly two years. The young couple shared a villa in Kusadasi with the 2
victims, but neighbors told investigators that the tenants would regularly engage in
contentious shouting matches. While being interviewed by the police, Cetin initially
claimed that the 2 victims had been abducted by a gang of men, who took them to a nearby forest.
However, after a few hours of interrogation, he confessed to committing the killings and he was
arrested on murder charges. The waiter revealed that, on the night of the double homicide,
he’d pleaded with Graham to allow her daughter to marry him. When the woman refused, stating
that Shannon was too young for him, he brutally attacked her and Dinsmore in a fit of vengeful
rage. Cetin then attempted to be tried in juvenile courts by claiming he was 17 years old but
bone marrow tests confirmed that the waiter was actually aged 22. Following his criminal trial,
Cetin was sentenced to life imprisonment. #6 - Alexandria Seletos
A man was beaten and robbed outside The Drynk nightclub in Tampa, Florida,
in the early morning hours of February the 16th of 2017. According to local authorities, the victim,
who was left unidentified in subsequent reports on the incident, was accosted by 2 assailants,
who fled the scene in a vehicle belonging to Alexandria Seletos. The latter,
who’d reportedly worked at the club as a waitress for about 4 months before being terminated, told
the police that her car had been stolen by the 2 men. However, following further investigation into
the matter, it was determined that Seletos had freely given her vehicle to the men. Detectives
also found that she’d personally instructed them to carry out the violent robbery for reasons
that weren’t immediately revealed to the public. The former server was consequently arrested and
charged with principle to robbery, principle to kidnapping, and filing a false report.
#5 - Kiara Marie Cuadrado On the night of October the 8th of 2019,
server Kiara Marie Cuadrado got into a physical altercation with a female cook at a Waffle House
in Wildwood, Florida. According to the resulting arrest report, 18-year-old Cuadrado had ignored
the cook when she indicated that an order was ready to be taken to a customer. The woman made a
second attempt to inform the server that the order was ready, prompting the latter to ask, “Why are
you yelling at me?” The cook then turned around to resume her duties, at which point Cuadrado
allegedly charged toward her and forcefully grabbed her by the hair. The young woman then
took the cook to the ground and started kicking her until a third Waffle House employee intervened
to break up the scuffle. Cuadrado fled the scene, but local police issued a warrant for her arrest
after reviewing the incident on the restaurant’s surveillance footage. She ultimately turned
herself in at the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office Public Safety Building in The Villages. Cuadrado,
a Connecticut native, was booked into the Sumter County Detention Center on a charge of battery.
#4 - Victoria Lynn Bachmann On April the 10th of 2015, Victoria Lynn
Bachmann was fired from her job as a waitress at the Ozona Blue restaurant in Palm Harbor, Florida,
after it was found that she’d been secretly increasing the tips on her customers’ checks.
According to the affidavit associated with 21-year-old Bachmann’s arrest, she’d changed
the tip amount on 134 checks during her employment at the establishment. The Pinellas County Police
Department detailed how, when inputting her tips into the restaurant’s computer system,
the young woman would enter a higher amount than the customers had actually written on the bill.
The scheme had reportedly resulted in a total of $1,074.15 being fraudulently charged to customers.
Bachmann faced grand theft charges in connection to the fraud. She was later
released from custody on a $2,000 bond pending the start of her case’s legal proceedings.
#3 - Georgina Henshaw
65-year-old chef Philip Rolph was found critically injured in his car,
outside an apartment in the West Midlands region of England, in the early hours of July
the 7th of 2017. Rolph, who’d suffered several stab wounds, was rushed to a nearby hospital,
where he was ultimately pronounced dead as a result of excessive internal bleeding.
The apartment outside of which the car had been parked was determined to have belonged to Georgina
Henshaw, a waitress who worked with Rolph at the Toby Carvery pub and restaurant in Birmingham.
The 36-year-old woman was taken to the police station to undergo a line of questioning, during
which she reportedly feigned ignorance as to the circumstances surrounding Rolph’s presumed murder.
Investigators examined Henshaw’s phone records, whereupon it was discovered that, during past text
conversations with a friend, she’d expressed overwhelming animosity towards the victim
as well as an explicit desire to kill him. In one such message, Henshaw wrote that she was going to
"lure him” to her apartment and “beat him with a cosh", also stating that she was “set up to commit
murder”. Henshaw was thus named as the prime suspect in Rolph’s killing and West Midlands
police arrested the woman at her home, after which she was formally charged with murder.
The authorities didn’t immediately indicate what they’d suspected to have been Henshaw’s motive for
the crime. However, it was speculated that Rolph had been embroiled in a contentious workplace feud
with the waitress that had ultimately escalated to the point of extreme violence. Following a
trial at Birmingham Crown Court, Henshaw was sentenced to serve at least 16 years behind bars.

#2 - David Carroll Masoner Over the course of 3 years,
Tennessee man David Carroll Masoner pilfered credit cards from patrons he’d served at the
West Knoxville restaurants where he worked. It was reported that the 46-year-old had used his
customers’ stolen financial information to take out cash for himself and purchase various items,
including meals and gift cards. In the summer of 2017, however, Masoner unknowingly applied the
scheme to a credit card belonging to an employee of the US Attorney's office. The unnamed woman
would regularly check her billing statements and immediately noticed the fraudulent charges.
In the wake of her discovery, she canceled her credit card and contacted both state and federal
authorities, who were able to identify Masoner as the person behind the financial fraud. Agents
with the Tennessee Highway Patrol's Identity Crimes Unit, the Drug Enforcement Administration,
and the US Secret Service arrested the server, who confessed to his extensive identity theft scheme.
It subsequently emerged that Masoner had 27 previous felony convictions on his record,
many of which involved credit card fraud. In spite of his criminal history,
he’d managed to find employment at Honey Baked Hams, the Bearden Fieldhouse, Pero's on the Hill,
and Silver Spoon in Knoxville. Masoner ultimately pleaded guilty to 3 counts of identity theft,
and he was consequently sentenced to 12 years in prison by a Knox County Criminal Court Judge.
#1 - Alberto Sánchez Gómez In February of 2019,
Spanish waiter Alberto Sánchez Gómez fatally strangled his mother following a heated row
at their shared Madrid residence. Subsequent reports detailed how, after the 68-year-old
woman was dead, Sanchez used a carpenter’s saw and 2 large kitchen knives to dismember her body
into “thousands of pieces”, which he stored in lunch boxes placed around the apartment.
According to The Independent, over the weeks that followed, the 28-year-old server proceeded to
consume his mother’s mutilated remains, eating some parts raw and others cooked. Local police
were eventually notified by a friend of the victim’s that she hadn’t been seen for several
weeks. On February the 21st, law enforcement officers were dispatched to Sanchez’s home
to conduct a welfare check on his mother. When asked if the woman was in the apartment,
the server reportedly replied, “Yes, my mother is in here, dead”. Sanchez initially described
his mother’s grisly killing in graphic detail, prompting the police to take him into custody.
However, during the murder trial that followed, the man indicated that he’d heard “hidden
messages” when he watched TV that told him to kill his mother. He also maintained that he had
no recollection of dismembering the woman’s corpse and that he was “very repentant” for his gruesome
actions. The jury ultimately found Sanchez guilty of murder, for which he was sentenced
to 15 years in prison, plus an additional 5 months for the desecration of a corpse.
