My 4-year-old son just said "Mom, are you talkin to your true crime besties again" 😂😂
This is chilling af. But imagine the cops searching this house and discovering his `trophies` by TORCH LIGHT.
So glad you are helping stop the glamorization of serial killers. I believe it encourages other sick minds to emulate these monsters.
I got chills when you were describing Ed, as kind of strange, a loner, went to school but had no social life, mommy issues, my mind immediately went to Bryan Kohberger. So frightening that these people walk among us, no matter what era.

Dear God…I can’t imagine the f@cking smell of that house, yall!!! 😭😭😭🤢🤢🤢
I got chills when you said the cops had to search his house with only flash lights! I’m so horrified and disgusted!!! I can’t even imagine!!!!
Imagine seeing this stuff before the Internet, before the crazy horror movies , you'd be so innocent basically and seeing all that could destroy you.
I was thinking about this, Augusta is the reason why Ed was the way he was. But also thank God that Augusta never had a daughters!!! She would abused her daughters even worse!!! It’s so scary to think that
47:47 What a shame that the physical “evidence” wasn’t kept! Modern day forensics, specifically genealogy dna could determine who they were. After all, the identity of the child dubbed “The Boy in the Box” or “America’s Unknown Child”, who was discovered in 1957 was finally identified in 2022.
