A load of boastful incompetence
20 July 2022
This so-called documentary attracts attention only because of the gory details of the murders committed. The whole story has nothing smart or interesting about it. It's fairly straight forward, but the producers stretch it to a great length, milking it for all it's worth. There are no discoveries due to logical assessment, and the police has little merit in catching the killer. Sure they try to analyze the writing in the letters the murderer sends, and they get a psychological profile, all for naught.

In the end, an informant told the police exactly who the murderer was, and despite that, it took the police quite awhile to actually arrest him because they were completely incompetent and lazy: they would get bored staking a place, and quit before the suspect would show up. After they finally caught him, the killer made a full confession, so all the police had to do was to check if what they were told was true. They found the remains of the victims where the killer said they would be. Again, the policemen interviewed in this documentary make a great deal of their findings, when in reality they just followed the lead, and did their job - not soon enough though.

This documentary consists of nothing but an overstretched series of interviews, mainly with the police boasting for no reason. For example, one of them says "I had the idea of checking the remains for DNA". Checking for DNA shouldn't be a spontaneous idea, it should be basic procedure. Another policeman proves completely incompetent when he notices the suspect's car right in front of him, and he calls his boss to ask what to do.

And the fact that for the longest time the police actually refused to consider a serial killer despite the obvious and shocking pattern of the murders is another obvious proof of their incompetency and laziness.

Bottom line, I found absolutely nothing worth learning by watching this documentary. A complete waste of time!
