I've read/watched tons of books and documentaries on serial killers, and this is not how it has ever gone

I mean, it’s incredibly exaggerated, but there are plenty of stories of police missing clues that afterwards seem kind of obvious. But it’s a lot of hindsight bias
Except for Dalmer. They found his 14yo victim naked with a hole drilled into his head wondering outside of Dalmer's apartment and didn't even find it suspicious enough to keep them from helping Dalmer get the kid back into his apartment despite Dalmer having been convicted of sexually abusing the victim's 13yo brother and being in parole for that crime.
wandering
That would have been the correct word to use.
Still is.
i hope those cops never get over the guilt
The were fired about 2 months after the incident when Dalmer was caught after another of his victims escaped. That was in 91, they were reinstated with backpay in 94. One didn't go back to the Milwaukee PD because he was employed by another police agency, the other went on to become president of the Milwaukee Police Union and retired in 2017. They both continue to say they did nothing wrong and that there was no reason to be suspicious. The naked bleeding kid was unable to respond to any of their questions, the neighbors that found the kid and called the police disputed Dalmer's story, the decomposing corpse of another victim was in Dalmer's bedroom when the police returned the kid to Dalmer's door, and the officers made homophobic and racist comments in regards to the incident, the victim was Laotian, but apparently it was unfair to judge them while having the benefit of hindsight.
The Police who arrested the green River killer were pissed a guy that dumb got away with it for so long.
i bet the community was a bit miffed as well
at least his victims didn't complain as much
Dahmer was caught with his trepanned victim by the police and they told him to take his homosexuality inside.
Even if it is, they're conveniently skipping over the fact that even I their own untrue version of events, they still spent their life in prison after being caught (also pretty sure they don't let you fuck "fans" through the bars in prison, but hey - I'm no expert)
conjugal visits, sonny boy
Are those real?? And even if they are, id imagine they're for married couples, not a serial killer and his rando fans
depends on the place.... sonny boy
Conjugal visits on Death Row? I gotta change my retirement plans.
You guys have retirement plans?
Yes, evidently they involve incarceration
They’re not set up by the prison, you still have to arrange the visitor yourself. If you can manage that on death row, one might assume you could do just as well outside of prison?
They aren't taking money from corporations so the legal system doesn't care.
why do girls ljke serkal killrts?
Powyr. Daddy issuey
Nope. Fetishistic disorder. Hybristophilia if I remember correctly.
The beginning about the ineptness in law enforcement serial killers would often rely on to get away with their crimes I'd accurate. They'd leave evidence around the crime scene and stuff, and then get caught years later. But they lost me at the end with stuff about conjugal visits and dying around friends and loved ones. That didn't sound familiar at all.
Also: Americans are authorian and incarcerate more individuals than any other country on the planet.
Really just can't stand the US I guess 🤷♂️
