Noe's curious case prompted a Life Magazine story in that sympathetically painted the Philadelphia housewife and part-time factory worker as a bereaved mother. It took 35 years before prosecutors brought murder charges against Noe , who was 70 when she was accused of suffocating eight of her children in a year span. Each case ended in the same way, prosecutors said. One day, when they were left with only their mother at home, all eight babies would suddenly begin gasping for breath and turning blue in the face.
Police reportedly reopened the investigation in the late s after the case found its way into a Philadelphia Magazine article and the book, "The Death of Innocents. Noe pleaded guilty to eight counts of second-degree murder in and was sentenced to five years of house arrest and 20 years of probation. Noe may have suffered from a psychological disorder called Munchausen syndrome by proxy, according to some experts.
The disorder is marked by "attention-seeking behavior by a caregiver through those who are in their care," according to WebMD. By all accounts, the year-old is still alive and was living in Philadelphia when she agreed to an interview with the Philadelphia Daily News in Joseph Kallinger, a Philadelphia shoemaker-turned-killer, had a partner-in-crime who helped him bind, rob, assault and torture four families in a six-month spree: his teenage son.
The father-and-son duo entered homes in Philadelphia, Baltimore and New Jersey, pretending to be salesmen before robbing homes and sexually assaulting the women. Their final act took Kallinger and son Michael, then 13, to Leonia, New Jersey, where they used a pistol and a knife to overpower three residents and tie them up. More people soon entered the house, and the pair ended up torturing a total of eight people for hours.
The incident ultimately led to the death of Maria Fasching, whose killing ultimately led to a conviction. Kallinger was later convicted of murdering his year-old son, Joseph, and a 9-year-old boy from Philadelphia shortly before the crime spree began.
Kallinger, it turned out, had spent several months in prison in for abusing his kids. Three of his six children had accused their father of abuse.
His son Joseph had been one of the accusers. He was found dead in the rubble of an old building in Philadelphia. Kallinger, who died in prison in , pleaded insanity and claimed God instructed him to kill. Psychiatrists testified in court that he had paranoid schizophrenia. Michael Kallinger reportedly pleaded guilty to two counts of armed robbery and was released after spending time in juvenile custody.
It is believed he moved out of state and changed his name. He would now be in his 50s. This well-known Philly hippie figure in the s and '70s claimed to have helped found Earth Day and promoted flower power, peace and love. As fate would have it, Ira Einhorn killed his longtime girlfriend and stored her body in a trunk. Helen "Holly" Maddux, a Bryn Mawr College graduate, was found dead in Einhorn's apartment 18 months after disappearing in , and several years after Einhorn hosted the first Earth Day rally in Fairmount Park.

Whoever did this has to be caught and punished. There was no reason for this. They had nothing to steal. Just a loving family doing the best that they could being there for each other. Just a shame.
