30 years is a long time, peace was made with the victim's death long ago by anyone who knew him. You'd just be stirring it up for them, giving them the knowledge that the guy who killed him lived a long, generally happy life.
I disagree with your “peace was made” assumption. I personally know the sibling of a murder victim who was brutally murdered in 1984. He has never made peace with what happened, and cannot even stand to be in the city where it occurred. There are some things that cannot be forgotten. Come clean.

Raskolnikov's dilemma?

Lord, it's been 24 years since I've read that book.

About twice that for me and I still remember it. If I recall the way it was written you were up in this guy's brain/conscience right?

Something like that, at times. At other times it's was third person omniscient I think. Very dry, very Russian. But I was 15 so I thought it super edgy.

Truck drivers kill people all the time or at least they used to. Apparently back in the day it was good sport for them to run drunk drivers off the road on purpose and just keep driving like nothing happened.

I heard one story where a trucker caught a couple guys in Los Angeles trying to break into his reefer car during the riots. They got into the trailer while he was stopped. Driver promptly got out, locked the door and turned the reefer all the way down and just started driving. Next day he dropped a couple meat popsicles off in the middle of the desert and drove away.


Old school truckers were nuts.

The only righteous and proper end to such a tale is to fashion your bulldozer into a makeshift tank and settle whatever scores you have left.

Leave a note with whatever you want to confess to and enter Valhalla hard and clean.

This is one of those situations where I'm not sure what would generally be considered the 'moral' choice would actually benefit anyone but you. 30 years is a long time, peace was made with the victim's death long ago by anyone who knew him. You'd just be stirring it up for them, giving them the knowledge that the guy who killed him lived a long, generally happy life. And it would just ruin your kids who'd only remember the murder part when you're gone. Knowing certainly wouldn't be of benefit to them.

Confessing just seems like an immensely selfish thing to relieve yourself of guilt when you have a very short time to live.


What a fricking wild take.
I can tell you 100% I'd want to know what happened to my child. This "nah I don't want to know, I've made my peace" is absolutely ridiculous. I mean what the frick
