The investigators botching this investigation so bad is sooooo frustrating. I’d like to believe that if it were an intruder, a competent crime scene lockdown and analysis (including searching the entire house immediately upon her being reported as missing) would have made this case so much easier to solve.

2025-10-22 18:57:43 +0000 UTCBerto, I have to say, I am SO entertained by the way you present the story! The sarcasm, the wit, the suspense, the teasing with the confession (I am on the edge of my seat even though I already know about it 😆) – thank you so much! I paused the podcast after you made me laugh really hard at "the boot prints didn't match" to write this comment. Really, thank you. Infotainment at its best. 🙏🏼💚

2025-10-16 01:54:26 +0000 UTCGary Oliva was released from prison in 2024. He went to CrimeCon this year, reportedly because he wanted to apologize to John Ramsey. John did not want to meet with him and they did not meet. Gary definitely needs psychiatric help.

2025-10-15 21:22:38 +0000 UTCEither way.. whatever’s up with that dude is not okay. Thank god he’s locked up for the moment. Very grandiose and odd.. It almost seems to me that maybe he wanted to be the guilty one because he’s done something similar, wants the attention.. but it definitely seemed like a cry for help. Ugh. Funky. Humans 🤦🏻♀️😭 When all of this happened, was it also the time that people were super idolizing serial killers? I guess it’s still like that to an extent. Thank god these people didn’t have internet access back then. Shit would be way crazier 😅

2025-10-15 17:59:10 +0000 UTCI am curious if they ever tested the kids at the Christmas party they were at for the finger nail DNA. If there were other kids there, it could have just been from playing.
