That being said, I wanted to bring your attention to "Auschwitz" pronunciation: it's 'owsh · vuhts', not 'outs · witch', as you seem to pronounce it.

    Those kids who made the arrow were bloody clever, I bet everyone is so proud of them!
    And as “mum” to my own African Grey Parrot, I can confirm that they can mimic voices perfectly, and they are extremely clever. Many times my partner and I have responded to our girl, thinking we are talking to each other, only to realise it’s our feather baby! It can be quite alarming to people who have never heard her before, but I find her good company 💖

      I worked at SeaWorld for a couple of years, and the friends I made there were wonderful, had a lot of feather babies, and they used to excercise them early in the morning, before the park opened, they would fly around, screaming and laughing and imitating everything, it was great! The bird show birds were amazing!! When they were bored, they would imitate phones ringing, to attract attention. The best part of working there was that there were parties every weekend, and everyone brought their pets! I'm not kidding, wombats, parrots, dogs, cats, everything! You'd go into the kitchen, and great danes would be laying on the floor with parrots on the fridge talking to them, cats curled up on the counter while people were laughing, talking, making blender drinks, while the parrots made "blender" sounds, laughing....I never had so much fun. I loved how everyone got along and loved animals...

      Well, I dont think it's that simple. Smart, probably, most likely. Capable people? They r kids and not many kids could or would (and most likely should, which is where the scare part comes in). I sure at least 1 of the kids has a police officer mother or father or firefighter uncle or someone close to them, because how else wud they get the idea to do this. Now, it may b more likely, or CAPABLE, to happen because maybe kids have seen or heard of this.

Reason why kids arent smarter is because ignorance is bliss and that bliss is slowly taken away as they grow up. Like a curtain revealing itself.

      I had to look that up and believe it or not, I found two separate stories.
      The one the video references, the body of a grasshopper was found on a victim missing one of its legs, which was found in the cuff of one of the suspect's pants, and a brilliant detective put two and two (body and leg?) together.
      The other story was another brilliant one where a killer was accused of driving a rental car across the United States to do the killing, but his defense claimed the car never left the state of Ohio. They analyzed the bugs in the grill of the car to find insects native to all parts of the country, proving the case.

    I used “the lipstick killer” as a case study when I was in college for criminology. I honestly think there was difference between him and killers like zodiac and BTK. I think he was honestly conflicted within himself and wanted to stop but was afraid to confront whatever inside him was causing him to kill. Where As the others were smug and cocky and simply wanted to taunt and cause more fear. I’m keeping it short here, but I think there was a difference.

    I never understood the police just sticking someone,anyone in jail for a crime..coursing statements of guilt,even if they're not true. So then,you still have a criminal on the streets,and an innocent person in jail 🙄

    I've wondered for a while now... is the narrator the same guy who does the Fascinating Horror channel? They sound so similar.

    Is it me or does the narrator sound sick? If so I hope he gets rest and gets better.
