I had no idea this was going to be about Bergen Co. Most of the places mentioned are down the street from where I live but I hadn’t heard this case yet!

Also, a bit over a week ago, https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/22/nyregion/dna-torso-killer-long-island.html Absolutely insane!

I literally listened to this episode whilst I was walking my dog in the Saddle River county park (aka saddle brook!!!) and I actually jaw dropped and had to look around in paranoia.

I think Garrett is starting to like this whole true crime thing. He is turning into one of us!

WHY ARE SO MANY VICTIMS NAMED DENISE 😭

People get crazier during the holidays I think bc of the stress. I'm also a December baby, the 23rd.

So do we think me falls more into the sociopath side or the psychopath? I feel like he definitely had grandiose ideas of himself along with narcissistic personally traits which makes me lean towards sociopath but the brutality kind of makes me see some psychopathic traits as well. What do you guys think? Hope you're having a blast on vacay.

This has nothing to do with this episode, I just wanted to ask you guys. With the new Miranda laws, or now that the police don’t have to say the Miranda rights when being arrested. Do you think more ppl will be wrongfully convicted based on what they say or don’t say while being interviewed or arrested??

Wow. I definitely don’t think we can judge Deidra’s daughter but we can factually state that is not a mentally healthy way to cope.

Ok but like why are so many true crime stories on my birthday, Dec 2nd 😂😭
