Level 6 · 8 mo agoThe police were useless. They had a butcher living right next to the bodies and still missed him. Levy is the only answer that isn't horse shit.

Level 4 · 9 mo agoThat Maybrick diary has to be a hoax. Finding a confession under floorboards in Liverpool after a century is far too convenient. Reminds me of the Hitler diaries. People are desperate for an answer but the missing pages make it look dodgy.
