People who have no criminal record but end up committing a horrendous crime scare me

True, but I think there would have been some red flags but nobody would have cared enough to look until it's too late.

Most people with criminal records never commit horrendous crimes.

Yes, I think this is more common then it used to be. There is more societal pressure to conform, to compete, to win, to succeed, to be happy.

EVERY criminal has no record until they are caught for the first time.

There are always signs (mental health) we just don't know how to read them and handle them which is sinful

Omg yes so true

Crime documentaries are terrifying and in the news, I’ve read so many horror stories, each one - more if not just as twisted as the next

That’s why gut feelings are so important

Trust them!

Feeling safe is priceless.

Occasionally there were warning signs that were ignored or attributed to something else. Someone intervened so that charges weren’t pressed, etc.

It's always the one you least expect.
