I had a former student who I was concerned about… He expressed very things in which I cannot post all mine… Since I was his special education teacher, I read his files, and it turns out he was dismembering small animals, and killing neighborhood cats since he was five… Not one teacher… Nor social worker ever helped me in my concerns… It was always swept under the road… At that same school there was a student who hit a knife under a pillow in kindergarten… It is the real dream to me how many thingsschool district fail to put to light… pardon, poor grammar, talking to text… By the way, I have not watched the video yet… I just had to say before even started the video that the children who have the capability of killing small animals at such a young age and dismember neighborhood cats with no remorse or capable of taking human lives in the dark. It is statistically proven. Lastly, I will say that I do not want to hear anything about mental illness, playing a part in taking a life and evil actions. That is a slap in the face to those who suffered.

Great narration, but the subject matter is intense enough, in my opinion, you could do without the music. The music makes it feel like a melodrama. It takes it over the top, and makes it almost cartoonish. Maybe use it as a garnish (-only in certain parts), rather than the main course …playing it throughout the entire episode is a bit much. Just a suggestion. Otherwise, well done!

Not necessarily. My mother abused all 6 of her children. Mentally and physically. There is an age gap of eight years between the oldest four and my brother Joe and me. Five of us went into the foster care system. My oldest sister is permanently messed up even though she is in her seventies. She was arrested for assaulting a police officer a couple of years ago.not her first offense. My second youngest sister is perfectly normal And leads a normal Same for my two oldest brothers . My youngest brother was an alcoholic at 12. Lucky for him he met his future wife while he was in the hospital ward for alcoholics. She was six years older and a nurse. She helped him get sober. They were married when he was eighteen. And he is still sober and married over forty five years later. I was only a year younger than him and had a lot I counseling as a teenager because of my anger issues. And I got in a lot of trouble as a teenager. Ended up pregnant at fifteen. I finally went into a stable foster home along with my son. And have stayed out of trouble. So even though we are genetically related and had that same early childhood upbringing in that same house ,we were all different in how it affected us. It's not an excuse ,it's just an explanation.

Agree...but it does explain somewhat why certain individuals may have become one. To me it doesn't change my opinion that they deserve to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,no matter what their lives were like.
Never ceases to amaze me how the families of the killers keep trying to convince others that their family member could never do these things, they are innocent, or they were mentally irresponsible for the crime and it was someone else's fault... What's most scary is when serial killers compete with other serial killers! Cringe!
RIP Ron. You saved many lives and died a hero.
7:00 He got a fine and a two-year probation for attacking and attempting to abduct a girl? If we took these crimes seriously and put offenders like this away for decades, we would save so many more lives.
Great story but cut the background music. ( noise)
Background music took over the whole interview

It's really powerful and valuable to hear from the detectives in these cases. I have so much appreciation for all they do. I was really touched by the way Ron was spoken about. What an upstanding man to put aside his own safety in order to help arrest the shooters. My heart goes out to the victims and their loved ones. 💜

I hadn't even noticed the music, it's the narrative of interest.. Good content and very well approached.
As a former federal inmate, I want to point out one thing. These killers are looking for nothing else, but trying to obtain parole. So when they are interviewed in prison, every last one of them will say that he was beaten and sexually abused as a child. It may be true in some cases, but many other killers use it as an excuse, trying to obtain sympathy.
