Ted Bundy's probably one of the freakiest killers. It's baffeling how many women he was able to kill. It also seemed like their was a divine intervention protecting him from getting caught. I can't help but think when relatively early on they an eye witness and the investigators for whatever reason choose the worst photo of Ted Bundy to show the lady and she didn't recognize it and neither would I have, because it was such an unusual photo to have shown her and they only showed her that one photo. had the detective just showed her any other photo of Ted Bundy he would have been caught early on. Then he escapes from jail and kills another 5.. And with his size it's amazing the degree in which he was able to over power women. When he broke into that sorority he managed to kill two women in the same bedroom without a weapon. and he only weighed 120 lbs at the time. Freaky dude.

I don't live and breathe this false flag nonsense. I could give a shit less at this point, but in instances like this when people reference these events or the characters involved, I'm just not willing to pretend and play along knowing it's complete bs, but I digress.

I realize this is a hard pill to swallow for many and seems a bit out there to those unfamiliar with the current state of affairs and whats going on, but with that said Jared Loughner is not a real person. The whole Gabby Gifford nonsense was a false flag if you will. They even had the balls to use Glenn Becks face (the way he looked at the time) with a couple slight alterations to make this non existing person known as Jerod Loughner. We are living in weird times..

The Zodiac killer gets way too much credit. The only reason why the Zodiac killer wasn't caught was either because of police corruption or a ridiculous degree of police incompetence.

The investigators of the Zodiac killer seemed to put complete all of their faith on the notion that "only the killer could have known particular details" is if the Zodiac killer was the killer of that particular murder and it would seem that they never went back and allowed themselves to question the possibility of the zodiac killer having a scanner or being a cop on the inside. and was able to obtain the information that only the killer would know.

I also was skeptical that the Zodiac killer was the killer for the first couple murder. I got the impression that the Zodiac killer copycated that couple kill. My biggest reason for this is what an attention whore the zodiac killer was. After he attacked the couple, I believe he contacted the cops 45 minutes afterwards because he was jonesing so hard , so I have a difficult time imagining that the same killer had the patience to site 6 months or however long it was without a peep for the first couple. The only other explanation is his position/occupation potentially as a cop changed in that time frame, so the second time around he had a layer of protection and connections that he didn't have for the first couple.. But to make a long story short. I think the Zodiac killer was at least partially full of shit on most of the murders. I think he got off on taking credit for other killers crimes. This could account for the 3 completely different looking accounts of what the Zodiac killer lo

When said that the Zodiac killer didn't like the police. I don't know what gave you that idea. It's been a while since I researched the case, but at some point something happened where a bomb went off and killed a cop and the Zodiac made a point in his next letter that that wasn't him. Here is a guy who piggy backs off of other people's crimes and he wants to take credit for everything he possibly can, yet in this one instance where a cop was killed he want out of his way to say that it wasn't him. For me this was one more clue to suggest that the Zodiac killer was a cop.

I was researching and checking out information pertaining to 9/11 calls and came across the studies on "is the caller the killer" etc and then I came across your academy on the subject. I already considered myself relatively well versed on 9/11 call detection, but I picked up a lot of things on this academy as well. And with that I really want someone experienced in this matter to check out this 9/11 call because this husband hits on so many points of guilty it isn't even funny, yet the person who he claims it is in the 9/11 call confesses to it the next day. and I have a hard time accepting that this husband wasn't involved based on his 9/11 call. I'll attach a link and let me know if you agree or perhaps my misreading of the call? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y06MKMir4ww

No. " reactive murder" is not committed by "regular" people. They are a POS that could not control their emotions, as an ADULT should. Murder is murder. It is all planned. The only difference is the length of time planning. I would like to know why a guilty person can legally lie for his defense, even with DNA , physical evidence and/or a confession?...He has , in essence, hired someone to tell lies and twist truths to make himself look "innocent" and stay out of prison. Hell, even the judge has a hand in this. He can decide to make public his past crimes or not to the jury and even change a persons conviction. So I ask, what then is the reason for a jury if they don't hear about the accused's life ?
