The time he stopped committing crimes is the same exact time DNA evidence really took off. He was likely well-informed on the latest policing techniques and realized he had left (or would leave in the future) DNA at his crime scenes and realized it wasn’t worth the risk anymore.

[@hannahfordyce9261]

Even though he was caught, he ultimately got away with everything. He lived a long life while those effected most likely never lived long enough to know.

[@katfig8926]

Agree. On top of that injustice his family disgustingly is UPSET he’s imprisoned. The lack of sympathy from his family proves he just bred more sickos like himself.

[@quakeerr]

yes ;(

[@quakeerr]

@@katfig8926 it must be incredibly hard for the family to process that a close family member that they loved and cared for is a piece of s**t. I don't think is a lack of empathy, they must have gone through a hard time.

[@LuxMeow]

@@katfig8926 The truth can be hard for many to accept. It's less traumatic to believe in the lie, I bet he manipulated them as well by planting seeds of innocence. His daughters are still young, maybe time will broaden their reality of understanding. Imagine it is your dad, your son. We are not in their position so we don't know how we'd react either. In the end he did the crimes, not his family. It's all on him and does their sympathy to the victims erase what he did or make it hurt less? Idk but I am doubtful.

[@blondieb91390able]

The silver lining here is that while yes, he DID get to live a long life and his victims didn't- he ALSO lived long enough to finally get caught, get torn away from his family during his "golden years", and the families of the victims finally got to see justice served. It's bittersweet through and through.

[@cordeliabriar2924]

It's kind of weird how once men and women reach a certain age, would begin to see them as less threatening. You see an elderly grandpa looking guy you can't possibly imagine who hes been in his entire life. That's a dangerous way of thinking because no matter how old you get you don't stop being a psychopath. The scary thing is how trusting people tend to be with their children and things like that around the elderly... something to think about.

I really like it when you do “well known” cases.

I’m from England and when you upload a video of a “well known” case, I hardly know anything about it and really appreciate being educated on it. So please don’t be discouraged when considering doing “well known” cases !

[@haileyranson8255]

As a parent I am certain that giving my life to save my child would be entirely worth it - I’d be grateful to die that way because I’d be at peace. My concern is whether or not this poor father knew before he died that he’d succeeded in saving his girl. I can’t imagine the fear you’d have dying and not knowing. If karma truly exists he’ll be wherever he is now knowing he did his ultimate duty. I feel for his poor daughter. She’ll live with the survivor’s guilt forever. I only hope she had her own kids because then she would understand what her dad’s sacrifice meant to him as a parent and will understand that she shouldn’t feel guilty. I hope 🤞🏻

I dont find it odd at all. Ted Bundys girlfriend didn't suspect anything for a very long time. Eventually, she called in to the police about him. But she even said in her book that she had zero idea & when she did feel something was off, she told herself she was just paranoid. It makes a lot of sense that you'd have a hard time condemning the person you love.

[@Mlh916]

The way she tells the victims’ stories, their families’ stories, the perpetrators’ upbringings, NO ONE does true crime justice the way Bailey does. Whenever she says she doesn’t know what she adds to popular stories, my heart breaks because she adds humanity to it. Usually crimes are told from a very topical P.O.V with little history and backstory to anyone besides the killers/kidnappers, etc. She’s not just entertaining, she’s educating and advocating in such a chill way. What an art form.

[@veronicastoecker4521]

Yes! Occasionally I see comments criticizing her doing makeup while talking about victims that deserve respect. I get what they mean, but she puts lots of thought into her videos, cares deeply about the victims, and often says that kids and family members weren't looked up and shouldn't be for their own privacy which is much better than some true crime shows. I also completely understand needing to keep your hands busy while recording yourself talking about very tough topics.

Patton Oswald (the author’s husband) is a famous actor. His wife was struggling with sleeping, partially due to the crime she researched for her novels, and partially due to some physical aliments she suffered from. She took a mixture of medications each night - but the night before for death, she took an extra one or two meds, and the combination stopped her heart in her sleep. Her husband came in to bring her coffee as he always would in the mornings, assumed she was still asleep, left the room snd then by noon or so he started to worry. He went back in to check on her and that’s when he found her dead. I’m not sure if others have told you that story yet but I only checked the last like 10-15 comments and didn’t see it, so I figured I’d put it on here. ❤️

She got the point where she was having a hard time sleeping because of the deadline so she decided to take some meds to get some rest. Patton came home and found her. Coroner ruled it an accidental overdose but they found that she had an undiagnosed heart problem that didn’t help. It’s absolutely heartbreaking because she was so close to being done with the book. Patton ended up getting the deadline extended and finishing her book for her with the help of the people she was working with.

To those questioning the wife's accountability or knowledge of his crimes; we can't say for certain she knew or didn't. However, remember in those days, 60's and 70's (even in some 80's household's) the man really was the head of the house. Many wives, especially non-confrontational ones, didn't ask questions. I know it's extremely sexist, but it's true. Also, some long standing marriages are essentially roomates, sort of just coexisting together, but very much leading seperate lives. In addition, take into account this man was in law enforcement. The long hours and erratic comings and goings in that field are plausible excuses. Compounded by the fact that a PO's wife would probably assume her husband having the occupation he had, would be a law abiding citizen. I'm not saying she couldn't have possibly known something was wrong; I'm just stating there were a plethora of factors as to why and how she may have never suspected such acts were being committed by him.
