Since that god awful podcast Morbid was mentioned, I should tell you about the awful episode they did on Kendrick Johnson “case.”

Case is in quotes because there is no case as it has been ruled an accident by 3-4 different agencies/groups including the NAACP.

Kendrick Johnson was a black teenager at a high school where they weren’t allowed to use lockers because of vandalism. He put his gym shoes in a rolled up gym mat for storage as a lot of kids did in that school. Unfortunately he decided to reach through the gym mat to grab them instead of picking it up. He suffocated to death.
There was video of two white teenagers leaving the gym shortly after they believe the accident happened. These kids were harassed and called white supremacist murderers. One of the kid’s father worked for the FBI so the family and public were insistent that the Father colluded with local police to cover up the crime.

The family won’t accept the fact it was an accident and keeps trying to sue everyone to make them investigate it AGAIN. Probably due to predatory lawyers trying to get pay days out of them and the media. Benjiman Crump was involved with the family at one point so that should tell you how they tried to play racial tensions up for it.

Morbid’s episode played into all these rumors and speculation ignoring all the evidence and blamed white supremacy for it.
My Favorite Murder did a similarly toned episode on it as well.
 
Looking up some more background info on the Chris watts case I found out there's a band called Skynd.

They have pioneered the genre of true crime music with a grim aesthetic and songs largely based on disturbing deaths and murders. They have released songs about topics such as the death of Elisa Lam, the manslaughter of Conrad Roy, the mass suicide in Jonestown, the Columbine High School massacre, and murderers such as Gary M. Heidnik, Armin Meiwes, Chris Watts, and Katherine Knight.

Skynd's first headliner performance was at Electrowerkz in 2019 where she dressed in a motley combination of corpse paint and Victorian-styled clothing. Fans were greeted with cups of Kool-Aid as a reference to her song about the Jonestown massacre. Shortly after, Skynd was shortlisted as a Heavy Music Awards 2020 Finalist.


I'm not gonna clutch my pearls over it but it comes off as pretty crass. Also the idea of "pioneering the genre of true crime music" is very lol as in wtf lol to me.
 
I’m glad there is a thread on this now. I have two things to share.
The first is some dumbass podcast reviewer claiming Michelle McNamara (Patton Oswald’s fat dead wife) and web sleuths are the reason the Golden state killer case got solved. Despite the fact that Michelle wrote an entire fucking book recapping the murders and never once even came up with a viable suspect, let alone mentioned the actual killer. Also, the case was solved through genetic genealogy, not by wine moms speculating about the case on Facebook.

The second being one of the most brain dead “theories” about Does I’ve ever seen
It's things like these that show how self-important these people are. It's not about "bringing justice to victims" or "giving Does their name back", it's about living out detective fantasies and clambering to "solve" a case from a couch so that they can stroke their ego. They think it's just a hardcore game of Clue.
 
The good news, despite only making shitty and uninteresting videos as of late, many of them repeats of the same thing over and over, our glorious cow finally made a post of substance.




Aquamarinesdreams/StawkLove, unable to not have the last word, talks about how she was in an instagram group chat where she was harassed for likely being a pedo-zoo-necrophile.
Which begs the question… why not have just, you know, left the group chat earlier??


Also, she uses the term “literal child” to describe herself. Again, and I can’t stress this enough, this #actuallynecro true crime lover is 19.

Exactly. Every case the Internet touches, they come up with outlandish and bizarre theories.

They also especially seem to hate white female victims and call it “missing white woman syndrome” when a white woman disappears and gets a lot of press.

Casefile is a pretty decent true crime podcast. Doesn’t feel exploitative and very no political sperging, read out by a deadpan Australian
Absolutely love casefile no sperging about shit just straight facts of the case they also cover a lot of Australian stuff to. Some really interesting cases that I hadn't even heard of
 
Following up on Michelle McNamara, I found out even more information about her that discredits her “work” even more.

She abused pain killers and she died of an overdose. That retard Patton Oswalt pretended before the autopsy results came out, that she just randomly died in her sleep.

She also was apparently the epitome of armchair detective and the police saw her for what she was and wouldn’t let her have any files or information that weren’t already public knowledge. This pissed her off so much, that she purchased alleged stolen police files from the case on the black market.

Also, her book isn’t just a regurgitation of facts about the Golden State Killer. She apparently makes it half a memoir too because she thought people interested in a serial killer want to hear about a fat drug addict’s life story.

In short, nothing of value was lost.
 
Hulu (working with ABC News) has a new original series about internet sleuths now. It’s called Web of Death. It just came out this month.

I haven’t watched any of it. It just look a like a bunch of middle aged women patting themselves on the back, and sitting on couches. Expect the internet sleuthing to ramp up even more now.

There's been music about true crime forever. Mein Teil, I Don't Like Mondays, Suffer Little Children etc. There's even been genres like horrorcore, made by idiot juggalo edgelords like this song about the Farmville murders committed by another juggalo dork.
It's shite, but I'll say this for it at least: it's less pretentious than this "pioneering the genre" stuff.

Ashes to Ash TV did a "real investigation" on the kendrick case
I Love the comment ´s on the first eps "Justice for Kendrick family" etc
vs the last "No this is not a freak accident is a cover up"

Anyone familiar with Gray Hughes?


He's a true crime "sleuth"/major grifter who does 4 hour long nightly shows and has a subscriber base of ~100k. He's a major documentable asshole to his viewers and thinks he's the smartest guy in the room but is actually extremely stupid. He's got methods of e-begging including direct begs and placing himself in "jail" before the show can continue. He has a tendency to become irate and rage quit if someone even disagrees with him on a minor point and can be manipulated pretty easily on the rare occasion someone attempts to do it. He controls his chat, and bullies anyone who calls in.
I've been hatewatching him for about 3 years, I cannot stand the guy. I'd be interested to find out if anyone else on here has seen him and can understand why he's such a big piece of shit despite what he donates.

Can some woman comment if the allure of serial killers is either:
a : ) I can fix them
b : ) Misunderstood bad boys who go against society are sexy
c : ) Fetishising dark, deprave things
d : ) something else?

All of the above?

The little I know about some of the people who write letters to prisoners and fall in love with them is that they often bail on it after a while and move on to the next one. They want the attention of a man who is clearly desperate for it and whom they know is gonna stick to them because subconsciously he may not have a choice. As long as that attention is fresh and exciting they keep in touch. I know that some even send money with letters and promise more for a reply. Is this related?
I don't find anything sexy about it, but I also wouldn't say I love true crime, even if most of my YouTube time consists of half listening to the content while working.

At least for me the appeal is the question of what actually makes a person snap and give into the desire to kill someone, why take the risk of going to jail forever for like only 20k life insurance pay out. Just interesting things to ponder.

Oh for sure, me too,. But that's not quite the type of woman/person I was referring to when I made that post.
 
Casefile is a pretty decent true crime podcast. Doesn’t feel exploitative and very no political sperging, read out by a deadpan Australian.
Their series on the golden state killer is the best retelling of all the events in podcast form. It's better than most if not all of the documentaries on DeAngelo's crimes, even though it was produced shortly before his capture so it's missing some personal details about him that later works have.

Another plus to Casefile is it's not overflowing with ads like some other podcasts. It used to have no ads, now it just had a small chunk, mostly at the start. We need a 'sponsor skip' type of addon for podcasts, some of them take it out of control.

That’s the dude who claims law enforcement gives him secret info on the Delphi case isn’t he? He makes reconstruction “dolls houses” latest being the Idaho slaughters and his big buck donators tell him that the prosecution should use his grade school graphics during the court case.
He shouts and sulks at his audience who are clearly masochistic whilst making big bucks off dead kids
