I love trying to solve the case before it's revealed, and I love the psychology of it.

@DearAmbellina2113 scary because it's usually someone that the person knows. Rarely are people unalived by a random stranger.

@iamnikki Because Ive seen so many countless true crime shows, the only exception is a serial killer..they choose strangers. 😟
