They used to interview serial killers back then because it was a new phenomenon and they wanted to understand the mind of serial killers to understand why they do what they do. But when it started making them famous or money basically from doing crimes you noticed they stopped interviewing them as much and even now if you listen to some sentencings you’ll notice they may even order for a person NOT to be interviewed or do anything to profit from their crime. Cause some sick people like Ted Bundy didn’t achieve as they wanted or wanted to portray as but they good at killing tho and may choose to get famous off of breaking the law or being an infamous killer...they definitely had to put a stop to that especially how society is now everybody hungry for fame or notoriety no matter if the attention is good or bad smh

I was at Edgewater Park in Cleveland with some friends one summer afternoon in 1973. We were walking the trail by the parking lot and heard knocking and a muffled cry coming from somewhere. We took time to search for the sound, and narrowed it down to one car. We knew someone was in the trunk. While one person went to get a park policeman, we kept reassuring the man that help was coming. When the police came and broke the trunk open, we found a man in his early twenties, with duct tape all around his head, wrists, and ankles. He could do nothing to help himself. The police freed him and he was able to stand and walk until the ambulance arrived. I will never forget the terror on his face as long as I live. To this day I am so glad we looked for that sound. Take a minute. You might just be the one to save a life one day. If you ever end up in a trunk, there is usually a latch under the hood lining that will open it up. Rip the lining and pull the latch if possible, Kick the lights out. Use anything you can find to pry at the hood, but try. Do anything you can to bring attention to the car. Do what you can to help your heroes find you, and thank God everyday for the heroes that are out there to help us.

Yup, I've talked to a dude that had the killer vibe and he told me the easiest crime to commit is murder, ''just make sure your both alone and that they don't feel the need to tell someone where they're heading and you've got em'', is an almost direct quote from that conversation. 2 years down the line I hear he was brought in on murder charges because he tried (and failed) to slit a dudes throat in a bar bathroom. He was also accused of murders up to that point. Still makes me wonder ALOT of stuff.

Back in the day? Lots. I'm from Newark, NJ and I love talking to older people from "back in the day". You'd be surprised how many stories I've heard about "bodies being buried in the basement". So from what I gather a lot of mob owned bars buried people in their basements and would just cover it up with cement. The cops would be on the payroll and even if they weren't what better place to stash bodies than your own public establishment. Who's gonna look there right under everyone's noses.

I've always remembered from this kind of story, if you ever are in a trunk, bust out a taillight if the trunk doesn't have a release button anywhere. Find something in the trunk, or with your foot kick it til you can stick a finger or your hand out and just keep wiggling and waving!!!! Someone will call 911. Of course this story if truly a MIRACLE because it was way before 911 or cell phones. God bless the man and reporters and the news❤️🙏✝️
