[@ShawnFerrell]

You'd think that anyone involved with his release are just as guilty of his further murders.

[@zachariah1990]

The problem is sometimes closure for families comes at a cost. You have to ask yourself if it was your child and only he knew where the body was would you want to know so you could have closure? If so then the prosecutor would have to make him a deal. He did his time for the first crime but unfortunately got out and did it again. While I agree with you it’s terrible, the law was followed and unfortunately again if police don’t have the body and need information they have to cut a deal to get the information.

[@bumbinelson]

@cheesypotat0es According to almost all studies, psychopaths can feel some kind of emotion under the right circumstances or when it's part of their goal/agenda. They also have a lower sense of emotional response. Meaning that the link between love-action is damaged. They don't respond to love the way the rest of us do, and they don't show love like the rest of us do. They feel it in some way. But it doesn't affect anything. That feeling is like an inanimate object. It's there, but it doesn't do anything. Therefore, they are capable of doing acts that to us seem "cruel" or "heinous." Because the feeling of love also links together with the feeling of regret, empathy, and our conscience

He strangled me, and I fought like Hell to survive. I knew i was losing the battle and was going to die., and just couldnt fight any longer. I gave up and I Cardiac Arrested.! No pulse or breathing ...... Just as i 'died' 4 people arrived, ( my Aunt, uncle and 2 of their friends ) who wrestled him off me, when he was still squeezing my neck. One of the women ( the friend,) was a Midwife, who gave me immediate CPR. She saved my life!! I'm now 60 , happily married for 33 years to my true soulmate, with 2 wonderful Adult sons . I've spent my life, from 17 years old , as a Midwife and Neonatal nurse. I am a Christian believer in Jesus Christ who gave me life, instead of certain death, that day.

I disagree with Dr. Dorothy Lewis in the hypothesis that Shawcross essentially "blacked out" when he murdered his victims due to a "partial seizure." As an investigator, I assess that he knew *exactly* what he was doing, but (I submit) lost all control to stop. His Watertown crimes are a NO GO TOPIC for Shawcross because *HE REMEMBERED EXACTLY what he did. Was there damage in his right frontal lobe? Probably, and due most likely by his stint in Vietnam, BUT, that does not justify the unjust taking of lives.

[@user-sg6sv9oi6i]

This is what happened to my former husband while he was attempting to strangle me to death. I think he just wanted to frighten me and then he lost all control and kept going until I lost consciousness. It's a long sordid situation. I will state I fought this monster off me because I wanted to live for our son who was five years old at the time. I fought death, I ignored my deceased mother who was beckoning me to go with her - all because I knew I needed to raise my son and not him. My son now is 21 years old. He is a very kind, thoughtful, empathetic young man because I raised him. Thank God somehow, I believe, God and/or His Angels helped me. ❤️🫂

I have noticed, from watching many forensic psychologists’ interviews with criminals, that the best way to get information from people like Shawcross is to be genuinely interested in them and what they have to say; to be accepting and not judgemental in any way. A little flattery also helps. This is obviously very difficult, as many interviewers cannot hide their disgust ……

[@EternalGalaxies]

I kinda wished they had asked a bit more about how Ed met the victims or what made him decide who was going to be a target tbh Like if June was known for being more of an ornery type and he angered easily, why did he decide to see her specifically? Was it for some sort of prestige because she was such a fixture there? And what types of conversations did he have with the women? But yes, I agree about the interviewing technique you mentioned. Coincidentally, I think it’s even more interrogation technique or similar to one (the first couple phases of the Reid technique).
