I've read/watched tons of books and documentaries on serial killers, and this is not how it has ever gone

I mean, it’s incredibly exaggerated, but there are plenty of stories of police missing clues that afterwards seem kind of obvious. But it’s a lot of hindsight bias

The Police who arrested the green River killer were pissed a guy that dumb got away with it for so long.

Dahmer was caught with his trepanned victim by the police and they told him to take his homosexuality inside.

Even if it is, they're conveniently skipping over the fact that even I their own untrue version of events, they still spent their life in prison after being caught (also pretty sure they don't let you fuck "fans" through the bars in prison, but hey - I'm no expert)

Are those real?? And even if they are, id imagine they're for married couples, not a serial killer and his rando fans
