Level 10 · 2 mo agoThe suicide conclusion never sat right with me. Hogtied with a stocking around your neck and that's the first instinct? That's not logic, that's a closed mind.

Level 4 · 2 mo agoThe part about incidents stopping every time surveillance was on really got me. A stalker who somehow knew the exact moment 14 officers packed up and left, every single time, for 7 years.
