    Something that really gets me, is that if they found any recent victim in a 50-mile area, they would’ve said this is the guy, locked him up, and it would never have even been a news story. It’s a long established fact that forced confessions are worth diddly, yet the only reason this got picked up is because there was no dead person to tie off the loose end.

    What’s scariest about this story is not that it happened and they got caught, it’s that they must have done it a hundred other times and not been caught. How many other people are in prison after being psychologically tortured into falsely confessing?
