Oh man, I've been big into old detective radio shows as of late, and one of them is Dragnet, which always features dramas adapted from real police cases/files/transcripts. In a recent one I listened to to (air date of the drama in the 50's mind you), the detectives had been trailing a man for miles and I think a month for a suspected murder and possibly 12 other cases with similar details (went missing, car found sold all with the same handwriting), bodies for all of these never found. Transcripts make it pretty clear that this dude thought little of killing (and likely had severe antisocial personality disorder) and even though he only confessed to the one (refusing to confess to the other dozen), from the sounds of it, he had killed many more before he picked up the pattern for these thirteen. When I was younger, I was always confused as to what classified a serial killer, as some cases showed that the killer could wait 4, 7, even 10 years between deaths, but now it occurs to me that many deaths or missing cases are never linked to them that should have been. Scary, but, in a loose sense of the word - neat/interesting.
lmao, I wonder how those earlier known cases where Harvey was "seen" went. "Ma'am, did your husband associate with anyone who liked cowboy hats?" the police ask of high class citizens in Vegas and are met with confused, probably even insulted, looks from those being questioned.
