      Romans 1:18-32
      God's Wrath on Unrighteousness
      18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world,[a] in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.
      24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.
      26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
      28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. 29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.

      Honestly, I studied forensics to become a forensic pathologist (before I truly realized how long medical school would take) and the way I thought about it was “I really want to help families understand how their loved one was taken from them”. Now, I might go into either veterinary or mortuary school because that desire to help people is still there, whether that’s thru helping animals or helping the grieving process. I don’t think it’s weird at all to be interested in ‘morbid’ topics simply because the world needs people to be passionate about those things. Forensics, medical, & mortuary science wouldn’t exist without people who pushed boundaries!!

    I am a big fan of true crime and fancy myself somewhat of an "armchair detective." So often I watch these cases screaming in my head, "What is wrong with these police officers/detectives/attorneys/judges/juries???" In this case, it is the total opposite and this is an example of absolutely brilliant police work. The Devon police did a superb job working with virtually nothing to solving the case of an international con man and murderer. Great job Britain!

    Took an incredible number of circumstances to come together for this guy to be found out. How does one explain that? Starting with the fishermen deciding to go 6 miles farther out and dropping their nets in the same place the body had been disposed of. Incredible coincidences.

    Did you know?
    Prior to carrying forms of ID, one of the most common ways of identifying a body was by the watch. Pocket watches were the more common type carried and were often serviced and marked inside with a service number. Watches from the early 1900s and 1800s are often covered with these numbers. Law enforcement would check with local jewlers to see if they could match them.

      Just because something or a series of highly unlikely events occur doesn't mean divine intervention is involved. Think about how unlikely it is to win the big prizes in the lottery, tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions to one but it happens regularly. That's the problem with religion, people want to believe that god is responsible for something happening so they convince themselves of it.
