the 70s were wild, you could just move states and get a brand new life. the police were so stupid and they fumbled Helter Skelter because communication broke down between cops of two different neighborhoods.

I think the same thing happened in the case of Billy Milligan and how he was able to get away with his crimes for as long as he did.

Remember reading about John List, 1971? Terrifying!

He got caught decades later thanks to a neighbor and Frank Bender, the goddamn genius (RIP 💔). He's such a criminology hero.

He was also the first to say the "boy in the box" (Joseph Augustus Zarelli) as being forced to live as a little girl bc of his eyebrows being sculpted/ "done" and his hair recently being cut from being very long. The neighbors likely had no idea he was a boy, and not a girl.

Wow I had no idea the boy in a box had been identified. May Joseph rest in peace.

damn, they really didn’t even try to look anything at all like these people. couldn’t even give Anna’s hair a bit of volume? the slightest curl? nothing?

anyway, cheryl bradshaw’s survival really is a blessing and proof that women should trust their instincts. she felt something was off with alcala the moment she met him, listened to that instinct and declined to actually go on a date with him, and most likely only survived because of it.

Lack of a central database

This reminds me of a much, much, much less pernicious and more impressive story, when I had a friend who said her Dad, who was a Mexican man living in Mexico, would come up to the US to work (illegally) and got caught like 12 times. But with no central computer database, and with fake IDs, he did it 17 years in a row with no permanent consequences.

I have no idea if her story of him is true bc she was shady, but if it was...respect.

That clip of the real show is so slimy and gross the whole way through.

What even is this new "complaint" option I'm seeing on here?

[ty]

Not visible on desktop ONTD that I can see

[anterrabre]

It pops up for me on certain posts, then when I comment it disappears? I guess Frank is experimenting again, like when the new emojis were released and a lot of people didn't have them.

[anolinde]

I've been seeing this too!! And one of the "complaint" options is "Non-traditional sexual relations propaganda"... wtf...
