Mon frreGilles-Leclerc/Facebook

This is the last photo ever taken of Gilles Leclerc. Attending an Eagles of Death Metal gig with Marianne Labanane, the two were excited for a great night when a terrorist attack occurred. Armed men began shooting up the Bataclan theatre in Paris. When police stormed the building after the terrorists took hostages, they detonated explosive vests. 90 people were killed and hundreds injured, with Leclerc losing his life. But he went out a hero, throwing Labanane to the ground when the shooting started and making sure she was safe from harm before he was fatally shot. 

14. Truck Stop Killer’s Final Victim

Robert Ben Rhoades

This horrifying image is the last known photo taken of Regina Kay Walters. The sheer look of terror on her face is enough to tell you things did not end well.

Escaping her dreary life in Pasadena with boyfriend Ricky Lee Jones, the two were hitching towards Mexico when picked up by an unassuming truck driver. He turned out to be Robert Ben Rhoades, the man who became known as the Truck Stop Killer. 

Rhoades had converted part of his truck into a mobile torture chamber. He quickly killed Jones in front of Walters before keeping her hostage for several weeks. Rhoades tortured and abused her during that time. He eventually took her to a barn, where the above photo was taken, before killing her. Walters’ body was found there by a local farmer. 

Rhoades was eventually caught and sentenced to life imprisonment for the several murders, including those of Walers and Jones. It is believed that he may have been torturing and killing people for decades, with his true death count somewhere in the 50s.

15. Nature Wins

Darsh Patel

Darsh Patel was with a group of friends hiking in the Apshawa Preserve in West Milford, New Jersey when they noticed a black bear nearby. The bear noticed them too and began moving towards the group. Hoping to confuse the 300-pound animal, the friends split up. Sadly for Patel, the bear picked up his scent and followed him. It didn’t take long for the creature to catch up with him and it mauled him to death.
