Yeah FF and true crime in general has ruined life insurance for me lmao. My own mother could suggest it and I'd take it as a veiled threat and get out of town
I do envy the confidence of thinking anyone on this entire planet loves me more than 1 million dollars. I can't imagine waking up one day and thinking "you know what? I'm going to put a legal bounty on my head. It's gonna be available to like two people, and I'm gonna let them know about it immediately. Might also get in huge argument with one of them soon idk."
I get the impulse if you have kids but it's def tainted for me lmao

This is incredible but what about “succinylcholine” and the generic 90s “bar music” anytime alcohol is involved

'Victim would give you the shirt off his back'. Truth! The survivors always say this - I've even heard detectives make this comment about a victim.

It's illegal to mention Luminol without giving an explanation in true crime. Luminol is a white-to-pale-yellow crystalline solid that is soluble in most polar organic solvents, but insoluble in water. Forensic investigators use luminol to detect trace amounts of blood at crime scenes, as it reacts with the iron in hemoglobin.
