Level 9 · 2 mo agoWait so Hickock literally built the whole murder plan on a dude casually talking in a prison yard and never once checked if the safe was even real. Not once. Just drove 400 miles on vibes and a rumor.

Level 8 · 2 mo agoSo Hickock built this whole murder plan on prison yard gossip from Floyd Wells who wasn't even sure what he saw... and never once thought to verify if the safe was real. That's genuinely insane.
