The 70s until the 90s was the heyday of day of serial killers.

Which is why i always roll my eyes at people who pine for “the good ole days .”


Humanity has always been a mix of good and evil; sure, certain pop culture things might have been better, or at least more my taste as a Gen Xer, than current music and movies.. but there was some heinous shite going on 30, 40, 50 years ago , if you are old enough to remember the case of Adam Walsh and movies like The Day After that predicted the effects of a nuclear fallout .

I’ve always wondered how someone could confess to a crime they didn’t commit. The doc opened my eyes to the psychological manipulation detectives use to their advantage

the same thing happened to the Misskelley kid in West Memphis. You can read the transcript of how the small town cops spent hours contorting his denial and putting words in his mouth until they manufactured a “confession .” All the while denying him his request for a lawyer.

And just like that case, I’m sure there were plenty of mouth breathers screeching “but they confessed !”
