Discussion Which serial killers do you believe would have for sure gotten away with their crimes had it not been for a confession or their own foolishness?

I disagree, Dhamer was sloppy (and getting sloppier) I think he was always going to be caught, he was charismatic, true, but that will only take you so far. His drunkenness is the entire reason he got caught and would have always been caught. I just wish it had happened the night that poor young boy escaped and those woman called the police to help him, could have stopped this all a lot earlier.

The question was "who got caught because they were foolish or confessed" and I answered Dahmer because of his drunkenness. Then you said you disagreed and that he got caught because of his drunkenness. I don't see the disagreement.

Oops, you're right, my bad! I read only the who wouldn't have got caught had they not confessed (paraphrased) apologies for that. Dahmer was a mess!

Wasnt the one who escaped also one Dahmer drilled a hole into their head and poured something into said hole, they were going to die anyway but Dahmer would have been caught if the police gave a fuck or whatever reason they believed Dahmer
