My wife's best childhood friend and still one of our close friends was the first cousin of the Ayers girl. We were young when that happened, but it has always bothered me. I had met her a time or two and the wife knew her better. We haven't watched the show, to much even this far out.
The reaction in Texas was amazing. I remember men standing outside their trucks and cars with their hats off as the funeral procession passed. Miles and miles lining the road.
I have two daughters and never let them have certain jobs because of this. I'm glad the family finally has closure.

You gotta wonder how much the HBO doc pushed them to get this thing solved. It seems like no coincidence. I hope the make another episode that goes into how this guy came on their radar and wrap everything up with the families affected and the guys who were in jail for a crime they didn’t commit. They almost killed one of them.

Absolutely no question this will happen in the next few months

Never heard of him either. A good reminder to tell your loved ones to be mindful and careful and aware.

Dude lived in the city, was a successful architect, had a family, kids, etc...

I was on the road working and watched the doc bored in my room, that was the most depressing thing I have ever watched. It made me want to drive home 6 hours and go check on my wife and kids. Gut wtenching.

It’s a nice thought, but you never really get over losing a child.

More than anything, that doc was a good illustration of the good and bad in law enforcement. Felt like from the start that the focus on the ne’er-do-well teens who hung out under a bridge and talked shite was a dead end given how the crime was so brutal and calculated.

Yes, I looked him up. More the reason remind your people to be careful. They come in all walks of life.

He briefly lived in New Orleans after ‘resigning’ from the Army in the early 1980s.
I’m curious to know about any unsolved crimes in that timeframe in NOLA.

That documentary was crazy. 4 guys had their lives ruined by it, in addition to those poor girls and their families.
The crazy part is how the story was hole-poked to death but the family was steadfast that they were guilty. I wonder how they feel today.

Similar to the West Memphis 3 case

Glad they solved it. Now if they could solve the Las Cruces "bowling alley massacre." 5 people killed (3 children) and 2 injured. Happened in 1990 and still no leads other than a composite sketch.

The 70s until the 90s was the heyday of day of serial killers. There was a great documentary about the formation of the FBIs behavioral unit when they start interviewing serial killers etc and this California serial decided to start helping them out of boredom probably and he tells them he knows for a fact there are 2 to 3 dozen active serial killer right then.

Probably died sooner by committing suicide than he would have if charged and convicted. Would like to know why he killed them, but him no longer being able to hurt others is better than my curiosity being satisfied.

Yeah, hearing this is awesome they know the SoB who did it, but damn thats sad for the guys. Just watched HBO Max series on this and thought the kid who died was probably "deserving" of it but he was actually scared of the police. Sad

He almost got fried for something he didnt do ?
I guess that’s the thing about the death penalty- cant undo it if DNA evidence comes out later and exonerates them.. also ive read that it costs something like 10x more to execute someone than it is to toss them under the jail with no parole possibility.. at least you can undo that if need be .
