That is about as unfun a fact as I can think of.
Oh I dunno, Chicago has had a active serial rapist and murderer for 20 years with more than 50 victims and more than 50 deaths that no one really talks about.
Look, if you want to get people to talk about your crimes you need to do a better job of taunting the police. Whining about it on Lemmy isn't going to make it happen.
That's exactly how it happens. Literally the only places I've seen reporting on it is social media.
They were joking about you being a serial killer in Chicago and this being how you admit it.
I'm well aware, I just don't think it's particularly funny to joke about when there's a pretty high likelihood that someone is being chained raped and tortured before dying in an abandoned building while the Chicago police actively avoid investigation that would reveal the pattern.
Well, maybe that's the pattern.
Yep, definitely a cop.
Is there anything I can read about this? First time I'm hearing about it.
Edit: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Strangler assuming it's this one. If it is one guy, it's definitely a cop.
100% is.
People just need to know since the police clearly don't.
No, I mean that maybe they're not investigating because they do already know, they just don't care (or they don't want to catch the culprits, or the culprits are not the kind of people laws and police investigations apply to, or they're the cops themselves).
Sure, don't suppose malice when incompetence or stupidity suffice... but don't discard it either.
Same thing as the Golden State Killer.
Oh I gotcha. Still though, I dunno if I have much confidence they investigated at all. They don't really care about much aside from showing force.
Meh, we had that in Canada and the guy sold the meat all over for decades. the victims were indigenous prostitutes, so no fucks were given for a long, loooong time.
Challenge accepted. Fun fact, your bones are wet.
