Thoughts on "The ATM Guy"
Ever since reading Matt's article about the scariest segments in Unsolved Mysteries, I've been very obsessed with this one case:
I've also been watching episodes of Unsolved Mysteries nonstop on YouTube, and I need stop doing that. I've turned into such a big pussy. I don't know how I survived my childhood as I used to watch this program at night...alone.
Two things about this ATM (spoiler alert) murder case. I kind of don't want to point these out, but I'm going to anyway:
1. Had this person had direct deposit then he wouldn't be depositing his paycheck at midnight. Then again, this was the late 80's so maybe direct deposit wasn't as popular as it is now. Also, there are people who work late shifts, so maybe depositing a check at three AM is the only time they can do so.
Which leads me to point two...
2. Depositing your paycheck at midnight is very, very dangerous. I don't care if the place is well lit, or if I'm with a buddy, I'm not depositing my check at midnight, and it wouldn't be at an ATM. I rather do my financial transactions inside the bank where there is at least some measure of security.
It's easy to see why I've been thinking about this case: this case is far more belivable than a UFO sighting or a ghost story. An ATM murder case can happen in real life whereas with a UFO sighting, you sometimes have to question the witnesses sanity. These types of true crime stores always get me because this could happen to anyone. It's like what Matt said in the article: No matter how normal you live your life, bad people are out there and they're out to get you.
