Do you remember Russell “I’m gonna release my bipolar!” The lady who knew him (her son was also autistic) and had taken him under her wing after she found him wandering about in a wifebeater vest in subzero temps, hungry - she said most of his conversation was made up of script lines like these.

This consequence seems more fitting than knowing, this will eventually end. Instead they will never know how many years they will be required to live before this ends.

I live in Maine and didn't even know about this! Talking about Maine murders, I really wish you would do a deep dive into baby ayla Reynolds. I feel so bad for this family and especially the poor mom. I feel like everyone forgot about this and would love KZbin to bring this case back to life for the family. Just a thought. Keep doing awesome Mike!❤

Are you not originally from here? I think it made National News as he was on the lam for awhile. We all know Justin Killed Ayla. There is alot of evidence. There is not apparently enough to confidently take him to trial beyond a reasonable doubt. His sister was there plus at min a 3rd person. Very easy to point at them.

Is saying "my partner" a thing now because somebody claims to be offended by being referred to as someone's husband/wife, boyfriend/girlfriend, my man/my woman or something. No offense intended, I'm genuinely curious cuz I'm old now and I get confused trying to keep up with all the games that get played with language these days... Used to be pretty easy back when "partner" was pretty much reserved for occasional use like if your uncle, the 40+ never married "confirmed bachelor" finally gotten into a relationship with a "significant other" that nobody talks about in front of grandpa...

I'm sure the detectives antennae immediately perked up, early in the interrogation, when he answered the question of what kind of person would do this, with, " Someone with no love for things that grow".
