The Serial Killer Who Begged for Help and Got Ignored
Here's what makes the Charles Ray Hatcher case absolutely infuriating. This young man literally wrote a letter from prison begging for psychological help, and every single person in authority ignored him. By the time they finally paid attention, sixteen people were dead and an innocent man was rotting in prison for one of his crimes. The Missouri River Murders case shows us exactly how dangerous it gets when our justice system fails at every possible turn. From a childhood marked by violence and an electrocution tragedy that destroyed his family, to his final confession that freed a wrongly convicted man, Charles Ray Hatcher proves that sometimes the most terrifying killers are the ones we create through pure neglect. His killing spree along the Missouri River could have been stopped if anyone had bothered to listen when he was practically screaming for help. This story will make you furious at how preventable all of this was.
