    Idaho murders: Expert says Law enforcement should not dismiss ‘incel’ angle

    Forensic psychologist Kris Mohandie said that the brutal nature of the murders, combined with the appearance of the victims as popular students on campus, leads him to believe that law enforcement should take a close look at the suspect potentially being an “incel.” 

    Incel, which is short for involuntary celibate, refers to a misogynistic subculture of romantically frustrated men who frequently share their anger online about not being able to find a partner. 

    “There’s a lot of hatred and anger that is evidenced in these crimes – the level of violence, the resolve, the obvious hostility in such a personal hands-on attack,” Mohandie told Fox News Digital. “That is a lot of intensity. So it is not inconsistent with somebody that may have that kind of motivation. There’s something hateful and rage filled about it.”

  • Reporters ask police: Could Idaho University stabbings be connected to previous knife crime in another city?

    Reporters ask police: Could Idaho University stabbings be connected to previous knife crime in another city?

    There is some added speculation and intrigue concerning the university of Ohio stabbings. The murder captivated and shocked a campus city and state alike.

    There are some new indications that privately investigators have been open to the possibility that there could be connections to previous crimes in different locations..

    Reporters at a news briefing Wednesday asked Moscow police about the possible connection between the students’ slayings and a second unsolved stabbing, which left Travis Juetten dead and seriously injured his wife Jamilyn in Oregon.

    Authorities say an intruder attacked the couple in their sleep around 3 a.m. on Aug. 13, 2021.

    Travis Juetten, 26, fought back but succumbed to his injuries. His wife, who is 26 now, survived 19 stab wounds.

    “We’re looking at every avenue, and we have other agencies reaching out to us with other cases, stuff that we are going to follow up on,” Moscow Police Chief James Fry said Wednesday. He said his office knew about the case and was looking into it, but no official connection has been drawn between the two cases.

    The following morning, the Idaho Tribune reported that a third nearby attack shared similar characteristics.

    The New York Times reporting:

    1,000+ tips to cops
    • 103 pieces of evidence
    • 150+ interviews conducted

    The police continue to work through the Thanksgiving holiday weekend in Moscow Idaho.

    Police in Moscow, Idaho, are pleading with the public to help them find the unknown suspect who stabbed four University of Idaho students to death in a house near campus.

    Blood was seen seeping from the house where four University of Idaho students were brutally murdered over the weekend as a report of a previous campus threat surfaced.

    Fox News Digital obtained the grisly new photos of the crime scene Wednesday that showed blood dripping from the first floor bedroom down an exterior wall at the back of the house.  

    Police in Moscow, Idaho, are pleading with the public to help them find the unknown suspect who stabbed four University of Idaho students to death in a house near campus.

    The Moscow Police Department revealed Tuesday that all four students were killed with an “edged weapon” in a targeted attack but did not specify whether it was a knife or some other sharp instrument. Investigators said they had not found a weapon…

    “That individual is still out there,” Moscow Police Chief James Fry said during a news conference Wednesday. “We cannot say there is no threat to the community.”

    U of I postponed a vigil scheduled for 5 p.m. Wednesday to the week of Nov. 28, after students return from the break. The university canceled classes Monday while police investigated the deaths, and some professors have taken it upon themselves to call things off for the week…

  • Money to be made: Netflix orders more Watcher and more Dahmer

    Money to be made: Netflix orders more Watcher and more Dahmer

    Were you naïve enough to think that just one season would be enough for both stories? Not a chance, we’re on the way.

    Netflix has ordered two more seasons of Monster, which will move away from Jeffrey Dahmer to “tell the stories of other monstrous figures who have impacted society.” The Dahmer season of Monster has already achieved over 934 million view hours from Netflix subscribers around the world, and is expected to reach 1 billion hours soon.

    The “real estate thriller” The Watcher, which is also inspired by a true story will be getting a second season.

    Those who follow the real life story of Watcher know full well that the Netflix version veered away substantially from the true story. Count that one as a “inspired by true events,“ and nothing like the Jeffrey Dahmer “based on real events.”

    Audience is hungry: Dahmer becomes second most popular show in netflix history

    Move over Stranger Things? Jeff Dahmer is running up that hill..

    Reporting from Deadline:

    The Ryan Murphy series has become Netflix’s second most popular series of all time, behind the fourth season of Stranger Things, after another impressive week. In its third week, the series continued to top Netflix’s global Top 10 English TV List with another 205.33M hours viewed.

    This takes it to 701.37M hours viewed in its first three weeks after racking up 196.2M hours watched in its first week and 299.84M hours viewed during its second week.

    People are hungry for this story.. yes pun intended..

  • The DAHMER Netflix movie has enraged some family of deceased–and cast who worked on it have PTSD!?

    The DAHMER Netflix movie has enraged some family of deceased–and cast who worked on it have PTSD!?

    We read this interesting headline this morning:

    ‘Dahmer’ Crew Member Slams Set as ‘One of the Worst Shows I’ve Ever Worked On’: ‘The Trailer Itself Gave Me PTSD’

    From the Variety story,

    Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” production coordinator Kim Alsup went viral on Twitter before the Netflix series even debuted when she revealed she was “treated horribly” on set. Alsup wrote that she was one of just two Black people on the set and that other crew members often called her by the other Black person’s name.

    “They kept calling me her name. We both had braids, she was dark skin and 5’10. I’m 5’5,” Alsup wrote on Twitter. “Working on this took everything I had as I was treated horribly. I look at the Black female lead differently now too.”

    And more:

    “I just feel like it’s going to bring back too many memories of working on it. I don’t want to have these PTSD types of situations,” Alsup said. “The trailer itself gave me PTSD, which is why I ended up writing that tweet and I didn’t think that anybody was going to read.”


    This is on the heels of another story we read a few days ago about at least one of the people who lived through the Jeffrey Dahmer real life nightmare speaking out about how it feels to see his image and story being broadcast to a global audience in the hit Netflix show:

    In an essay for Insider, Errol Lindsey’s sister Rita Isbell felt that Netflix should have asked for their thoughts on the project. Instead, she feels like “they’re just making money off of this tragedy. That’s just greed.”

    MORE..

    “When I saw some of the show, it bothered me, especially when I saw myself — when I saw my name come across the screen and this lady saying verbatim exactly what I said.

    If I didn’t know any better, I would’ve thought it was me. Her hair was like mine, she had on the same clothes. That’s why it felt like reliving it all over again. It brought back all the emotions I was feeling back then.

    I was never contacted about the show. I feel like Netflix should’ve asked if we mind or how we felt about making it. They didn’t ask me anything. They just did it.”

    Now some are enraged that the movie makers would use “PTSD” in their description of emotion–after all it should really be those who were directly involved that may experience that. But we all could experience a little touch of it.

    The Dahmer nightmare was real .. I lived through news coverage but that was the closest I got. Along with the 1990s being filled with dark morbid jokes using his name..

    The corpse of a Russian model who called Vladimir Putin a “psychopath” has been found stuffed in a suitcase one year after she went missing.

    Gretta Vedler, 23, was murdered following an anti-Putin social media rant where she questioned “can he really do anything?”.

    Despite the timing of her January 2021 posts and later disappearance the two are not thought to be linked.

  • No more minds to hunt

    No more minds to hunt

    David Fincher makes the call!

    This quote from David Fincher will come as a sad piece of information for anyone who is a fan of the program MINDHUNTER on Netflix.

    It would appear that the program is done. Kapootsky.

    The shame of this is that the program was amazing, and two seasons we got a melodramatic tale about how the FBI change to hunt serial killers in the 1970s, and then the added suspense of watching the Btk killer evolve in the second season gave hopes for an amazing third.

    But now we’re just left with two seasons, two completely amazing pieces of entertainment that can stand the test of time because they’re timeless, capitalizing on the newfound fame of true crime dramas and the nostalgic steel for the 1970s and 1980s.

    Viewers and fans could’ve been doored several more seasons, although the program is so detail oriented perhaps it was difficult to make. Fincher seems to be overwhelmed but I’m out of work it actually took.

    So yes people will now lament the loss of this program, as well be. One of the greatest. But, we have two amazing seasons to binge over and over again.

    As far as the Btk killer? The rest was history

    More: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/teen-kentucky-not-timmothy-pitzen-who-went-missing-age-6-n990961

    DNA tests indicate that the young man, who identified himself to authorities in Campbell County, Kentucky, on Wednesday morning, is not the boy from Aurora, Illinois, who disappeared at age 6.

    His real name is Brian Michael Rini, 23, of Medina, Ohio, an official with the Newport Police Department in Kentucky told NBC News.

    “Although we are disappointed that this turned out to be a hoax, we remain diligent in our search for Timmothy, as our missing person’s case remains unsolved,” officials with the Aurora Police Department said.

    ORIGINAL POST 

    Teen found wandering in Kentucky says he’s boy who went missing 7 years ago

    His name was Timmothy Pitzen.. after being taken out of school in 2011 to go on a trip, she was found dead no a hotel with a suicide note saying Timmothy was safe and “you will never find him.”

    Fast forward to today:

    People who talked to him before police arrived said he was anxious and pleaded for help.

    “He walked up to my car and he went, ‘Can you help me?’” a 911 caller told dispatchers, according to the affiliate. “’I just want to get home. Please help me.’ I asked him what’s going on, and he tells me he’s been kidnapped and he’s been traded through all these people and he just wanted to go home.”

    It was unclear what city he’d escaped from before arriving in Newport. Police agencies in the area checked nearby Red Roof Inn hotels and did not find anything, according to the report.

    In a Facebook post, the Sharonville Police Department near Cincinnati said it helped check local hotels for the suspects, but its officers had no contact with Timmothy.
