Idgaf about Bill. Poor Holly 😔 Rest in Peace 💜
That’s seems to be very common with most of the true crime stories I listen to. It’s so maddening.
The lack of professionalism in this case is astounding. The cops completely mishandled the car and didn't even check it for blood? Crazy. And calling in Tom's mother to say they think he had fetishes and was gay like... Ok, even if he did what has that got to do with the case? Why tell her that unless they had a solid lead to go on regarding those things? The sheriff clearly has it out for their family and just wanted to make them suffer even more.
Religious indoctrination is a hell of a drug.
The answer is nobody knows. People hate that, therefore religion...Im sorry... But you're going to praise and worship and be grateful for an entity that is behind the plan for you to lose your son. He's behind the plan where prepubescent children are raped and mutilated and dismembered and starve all over the world. He's behind all that too, right? No... you just want to pretend like it's butterflies and daisies in heaven and as long as you believe that then it is so. What a bunch of $hit
Lie detector tests are an absolute 100% complete waste of time. Absolute complete waste of time. Everyone who's asked are you involved in the disappearance is involved in The disappearance whether it be trying to figure it out or actually the reason for the disappearance. It's an absurd question.
They didn't luminal the vehicle?!
BTK was hanging out at his church with all the other Deacons... Not on this scary old black site Kline's talking about. People with odd sexual fetishes are no more likely to kill someone then a group of Deacons...
Definitely. If you love kicking down doors why wouldn't you go get some experience in a place where that actually happens? I'm curious if he ever attempted to or if he was afraid that his big fish status didn't exist outside of nowhereville Texas.
Very unedyfying that the people investigating Tom's case are accusing each other of unprofessional conduct. I'd be fuming if if I was the family. Confirms to me that these people are all fucking corrupt and frankly fucking idiots. Bunch of hillbilly cowboys who couldn't arrange a piss up in a brewery.
Still would like to know: -was there any DNA or fingerprints taken from the phone? -what did the autopsy show? Even if it were bones, there would probably be a bullet hole found.. -was the "smudge" or supposed lit up luminol area tested for DNA? -why is Dad so out of the story? What was the divorce reasoning? I find it strange that he doesn't like the detective the mom hired.
It's probably suicide. I think he had heard from from somewhere about where Grandpas had died and wanted to be in the same place. The diaper thing is odd, the detective kept calling it a quirk and mom dismissed it as a one time thing but that's not "normal" behavior. I kept thinking back her statement that a family psych. friend said it could be due to unresolved childhood issues... I was on team mom until she said she wouldn't accept it if he were gay, that is so sad and wrong!
I don't think it was suicide. How did the cell phone get to the search area without a scratch or apparently no evidence of being out in the element for all that time? I think, he was in a relationship with that adult man who killed himself. I think he may have had something to do with Tom's murder.
In the end, it looks like a suicide. Kid put a ton of pressure on himself. A sad reality for many his age growing up in the world we are living in. The sherriff was a bit weird, but nothing really there to suggest anything more. Just like so many human beings (and that's what they are) who are in positions of authority, he made mistakes. But again, nothing here to suggest foul play by him or anyone. A troubled kid does an internet search about how to kill himself, and goes missing hours, even just minutes later and then is found dead ... its probably suicide.
This sheriff.. something wrong with him. Unnatural reaction to mom's openness about suicidal tendancies in family.
"I would talk to him about sin..." In other words, no, I would not be okay if he was a gay man. How sad. She might have lost her son because he was afraid to be known. I know he's with God. I hope she knows that, too, even if he was gay. That's called loving someone unconditionally. Being like Jesus in that way is the very least a mother can do for her children.
Great podcast. Facebook and rumor mill were a horrible damper on the investigation. Tom's poor family.
I've been a fan of Skip Hollingsworth for decades. He can't tell a bad story or write a boring book. I dread the day he decides to retire.
Males will always excuse another male’s sexual degeneracy and psychopathy. Especially if he is rich and white. His POS friends can join him in jail too.
