Ah yes! The Daybell case is wild. I listened to an audiobook called ‘the doomsday mother’ by John Glatt in 2024- blew my mind.
She still has trials ongoing and she’s representing herself she’s absolutely certifiably cray cray!

Just binged the catfish documentary...

Sorry but no way would I be taken in by that voice changing app, it sounded so staggered & robotic.
Lilly & Chloe definitely had wigs on which I thought was odd & served little purpose.
All in all I thought it was wild, what a bloody character 'Dave/Matthew' was.

I’ve never been on a dating app but is it normal to speak and message regularly with someone and never meet them… that was the biggest thing I didn’t understand… that and the wigs 🤷‍♀️😂

As I usually watch on catch up, I'm not sure if the current series is still running:
24 hours in police custody on channel 4. There's an episode dedicated to just knife crime. Unbelievable how easy it is to purchase knives like that

The Nicholas Prosper case was shown. I knew very little until I watched this programme. It was rather disturbing

Watched this last night and yes agree it’s frightening how easy it was to buy the zombie knives!

I love crime documentaries, at the moment I'm really enjoying 'the first 48' and rewatching some of my old dvds of it! Does anyone know what seasons Disney+ have on there?...the thing that always strikes me about the first 48 is how life isn't sacred at all. These (mostly) young lads just seem to settle arguments with a gun, most of the time they don't even think before they shoot. None of them seem to value life or seem to be able to regulate any emotion. And it seems to be a vicious cycle, which I find desperately sad. Its such a scary world out there and the gang culture is fascinating to me. I really do think drugs is the devil in so many ways, without it, half of these murders wouldn't happen.
On You Tube I love Pat Brown and Unsolved no more with Ken Maines. I also love to listen to The Interview room, especially when Dr Gary Brucato is on.

Couldn't be arsed with it as it was all very well documented at the time. I think the interest in Michael Jackson good or bad has fallen vastly over the last 5 years or more.

Yeah I watched it. I'll admit before I had doubts and thought he was maybe just misunderstood like emotionally immature and "stuck" in a child mindset. After watching it, I no longer have doubts 😞.

Likewise. He was a master manipulator. His lawyer was infuriating as well. If he was innocent I think he’d still be alive. Really feel bad for his own children, his victims and their families. It seems he wasn’t shy about blackmailing his staff either. His poor maid.
