[@mychonnyfan47]

It’s psychology. Look into it it’s really interesting

[@Cuptow]

Normalcy bias, or normality bias, is a cognitive bias which leads people to disbelieve or minimize threat warnings. Consequently, individuals underestimate the likelihood of a disaster, when it might affect them, and its potential adverse effects. The normalcy bias causes many people to not adequately prepare for natural disasters, pandemics, and calamities caused by human error. About 70% of people reportedly display normalcy bias during a disaster.

[@HalfdeadRider]

@@BBCharger5spd It is natural to not want to get involved when it could cause you trouble in some form. Listening to what happened when knowing the outcome makes it feel/seem very different, many of us feel we would have stopped and done something, or at least called the police. But in reality we also may have simply drove by not thinking much more than what you described.

[@WelFonz]

Just because that guy passed a polygraph means absolutely nothing. He’s a sociopath. Which means he could easily pass a polygraph even tho he could’ve been 100% guilty.

[@gokuss15]

You can beat a polygraph by strategically puckering your butthole. I’m not even joking, the test basically measures stress response, if you simulate the biological signs of fear when telling the truth for the baseline questions they won’t record any discrepancies when you lie.

[@Artrysa]

Lie detectors are complete bogus. They are wildly inaccurate and can not be used as proof of guilt. I think I've heard somewhere that they were used to bluff trying to make people confess though. Not sure if that's true or not.

[@caspersrealwizard525]

Artrysa the detector on its own is useless. It needs to be paired with someone who also knows how to detect dishonesty through movements, facial expressions, and word choices. Yes they CAN be inaccurate. But I’ve heard the opposite and I have family thats worked in criminal justice for years. What I was saying is that a sociopath, which most serial killers are, can EASILY defeat a polygraph, as well as a body language expert. Because they’re emotionally detached from the bad things they’ve done. Their brain does the same thing when it sees “love” as it does when it sees “hate”. There’s no differentiation to the sociopath. His heart and brain show no difference between seeing newborn kittens, and seeing a suicide victim. So they’re very capable of seeming extremely normal.

Edit: forgot the cat hair

[@ivyrose5153]

Govind Goyal I think your theory is valid and I think people don’t realize that it’s possible that these people might’ve worked in a Ring of pedophiles that may have planned to do things all in a similar way so that it would be harder to find the right killer out of all the potential suspects. For example with the cat hair, maybe the “boss“ owned a white cat and that cat hair would get all over these men before they would go out and do these horrible things.

I'm betting it was different killers in every case, but perhaps the second and third killers went on to kill others as was mentioned. It's not like white cats are unique and considering the possible link between toxoplasmosis and impulse control and the fact that there was far more environmental lead pollution back then it makes me wonder. Didn't the one rapist work in a garage? As for the other similarities between the girls and their deaths those similarities are not unique to them. Poorer children who's parents weren't very attentive or concerned with their whereabouts are prime fodder for child predators. Dumped on the side of the road after being choked or bludgeoned to death? Classic move by an unorganized killer. The human mind wants to see patterns even when there aren't patterns at all. The crossword with the names of the D-Day beachheads a few weeks before it happened was either an Nazi intelligence operation, a coincidence or a psychic episode, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't the first or last, but US intelligence had to be sure it wasn't the former.

I haven't been this early since Simon had hair.

[@vicjr.1813]

How about a biographics on Dr. Jose P. Rizal who famously quoted the line “the pen is mightier than the sword” to which General Douglas McArthur made fun of after years his death

[@peanutbutterisfu]

My family lives in Rochester and my aunt had the same initials, my family was very scared at the time. It’s so sad these poor kids were killed and it’s crazy the person was never found. I bet he went to prison for a different crime and that’s why the murders stopped.

[@bar0nv0nstrubel57]

I remember watching a TV show episode when I was like 8 about the alphabet killings and since then I've actually wondered if I imagined it, because the idea of someone targeting people based on matching initials and putting bodies in towns with the same letters seemed impossible

[@symonew33]

Something weird I just read, one of the victims in these alphabet murders name was Carmen Colon and the killer Joseph Naso, who did the Alphabet murders in California, killed a woman named Carmen Colon.

[@NoReplyAtAll9]

They cleared Naso of these murders via DNA. Just crazy crazy coincidence.

[@jessejacobo1172]

Can you do my eulogy at my funeral? It'd make me sound more interesting haha

[@MCB93ASSASSIN]

Yet another awesome video! You should do a biographics video on former Louisiana Governor Huey Long. He's hands down one of the most interesting politicians in American history. His governorship is often a controversial one as he acted a lot like a dictator. In fact he was often known as the "Dictator of Louisiana." But even so, he still did a lot of good for Louisiana during his time in office before his assassination in 1935.

Just a random suggestion....hard to argue there’s ever been a more important or consequential person in modern history...and most of us have probably never even heard of him...stanislav petrov Every human alive should know his name, and the story behind his ridiculously consequential decision...it’s kind of perplexing how that’s not the case

[@Warpedlogical]

12:29 lmao that shotgun sound effect with this serious tone of Simon so funny to me 😂 top notch editing

[@KdubbleYT]

“Bruh I gotta flee the country” *goes to Puerto Rico*

[@marygoround1292]

I live in Buffalo which is about 45 min away. I didnt know about these murders until recently and their proximity is absolutely terrifying.

[@t4705mb6]

"Closure" is for the press, police and, obviously, internet channels .... NEVER for families of victims,

[@SuzySuziko]

I think we get "glued" to those stories in order to learn how to avoid or identify those dangerous killers. And I think that is genetic we want for that reason to know all the gory details.

[@Wazzahere]

It looks like the uncle might have done the first one with a friend (she went to the car at the pharmacy as if she knew the owner). I think the friend might have carried on after he left.

[@BlackCatBritt]

Hi from Rochester NY. I grew up here & went to school at Churchville-Chili. Always neat to see my city's history pop up around the internet.

[@Jeffshi20]

Almost 1.3 mill subs.

[@julianajordan4155]

Hits close to home, grew up in Rochester and was warned about this when I was little. My initials are JJ, even decades later the town was still scared.

[@Jose-wq4zr]

This dude hosts like a million channels wtf lol

[@gabbymclovin6357]

Your voice & informative knowledge relaxes me to the core. ☺

[@owenmcanuff7549]

WAIT WAIT WAIT THIS GUY IS LITERALLY HISTORY VERSION OF MICHAEL FROM VSAUCE

[@devodavis6454]

At 4:56, that light, bouncy music is incredibly inappropriate. WTH?

[@kingjellybean9795]

Im going to hell for this but the third girl looks like danny devito with pigtails and danny devitos initials fit the alphabet theme

[@arianafox365]

[@MrrMechassult]

"I just want to let you all know about one of my 14 other channels this one is called insomnia. It's all about the random caffeine induced fever dreams I have after not sleeping because I have to make 17 different 20 minute long videos a day" simon you need a break my dude

[@kamster518]

[@HIPPYGOATWITHCHEESE]

That was by far the most interesting video of your I've watched. So many unanswered questions

[@williamjeffersonclinton69]

Murder, suicide, sex, drugs, corruption, *ALLEGEDLY* my Wife and I would make the best Biographics video.
