[@sissyroxx]

Being alone isn't the whole answer. I've learned a lot as an American woman living in Italy about safety. Ladies, put bars on your windows & doors & roll down locking steel shutters. Have real time surveillance connected to a reliable security service. If you can't live in a gated community with full time security use high walls or steel gates around your property. Also it never hurts to get a well trained guard dog and a firearm. Italians take every precaution and that's why these types of crimes are extremely rare. I know it sounds crazy to most Americans but it's been the Italian way for thousands of years.

[@ismayonnaiseaninstrumentt]

From the FBI (on serial killers): "The interpersonal traits [of serial killers] include glibness, superficial charm, a grandiose sense of self-worth, pathological lying, and the manipulation of others. The affective traits include a lack of remorse and/or guilt, shallow affect, a lack of empathy, and failure to accept responsibility." Brian Steven Smith showed every single one of these traits in this interview and imo is a psychopathic serial killer. Firmly believe there are more victims in Alaska and more victims in South Africa.

[@sophon238]

There are so many people like him. You see them practically everywhere tbh, there's always some guy or woman that thinks they're so charismatic that they can manipulate everyone into getting favors and whatever they want. And if people don't check them they become an obsessive manipulator, it becomes the default setting.

[@ismayonnaiseaninstrumentt]

@@sophon238 yes, anyone can manipulate! But not every manipulator kills. That's what I find so interesting. I believe there are more victims (specifically, women of color) in both Alaska and South Africa. The way he described indigenous Alaskans was weird to me. It wasn't admiration... it was a serial killer's fetishization.

[@PrinceMuha]

South African authorities should definitely investigate this guy's past 😢, he definitely has more than 2 victims.

[@sandycheeks1580]

🎉😂Africa doesn’t care enough about its women or children to investigate this. The continent is always in such shambles any evidence is like dust in the wind now. He’s killed plenty of poor Africans! He recorded it all & made the money to leave by selling the snuff videos of it.

SA is already chaos, it has one of the highest murder rates in the world. Good luck with that. These 2 murders happen every second in SA..

In the beginning he had relief and freedom to finally be free from his guilt. Now he has regret. That’s his voice on the phone talking to a dying woman. It’s too late for regrets. And if there are crimes in South Africa that may meet his criteria, hopefully they can close those cases.

[@LizzyAnn904]

Don’t think these types have guilt.

[@Cheri.57]

[@Armygirl4Christ]

He even admitted in the interrogation he knew he was already in big trouble. This was an attempt to lessen his own consequences. No guilt possible on his behalf. But he will meet his true Judge one day.

This killer is depraved. He is the epitomy of evil. The fact that he sits there denying everything and spouting fictitious nonsense is quite astounding. If someone is capable of such heinous acts they are capable of even more. For these vulnerable victims to fall prey to this beast is so very sad. Taunted and tortured all the while knowing that they wouldn't make it. Thankfully he's locked up for the rest of his life. However as far as I'm concerned his sentence is a holiday in comparison to what he put his victims through and the trauma his actions have left behind.
