Short Summary

He sent her mother to go and find her daughter's lifeless, brutalized body. What a monster
Anthony is at home watching Netflix unaware that he is the prime suspect in a 1st degree murder case.
Officer that thought to climb his car and check garage and kicked that door in with one kick is a beast
Smartest killer bought a burner phone with his credit card. What a bloke.
gotta love how Anthony is so oblivious he is the subject of a massive manhunt, dude is at home drinking beer and watching tv.
Imagine just being drunk in your recliner and you find out some psycho you’ve never met has been using you as a patsy for months 😅💀😂
He is so disgustingly performative. He definitely watched too many movies
