Have a look at the Hare Psycopathy checklist. He ticks a lot of them.
She went to the police. I don’t think she had anything to do with itThe mistress is suspicious if you google her: Nichol Kissenger.
She was saving her own ass because she was scared when she realized what her actions (indirectly) may have caused.She went to the police. I don’t think she had anything to do with it
This.She was saving her own ass because she was scared when she realized what her actions (indirectly) may have caused.

This doesn’t make her suspicious though.This.
Think he smothered them both before dropping them into the tanks. Dunno how anyone parent could do that.Saw this yesterday, was a bit mad.
Was it ever revealed how he killed the kids? He didn’t throw them in he tanks alive did he?!
I assumed he was just normal guy that did something insane in the heat of the moment, up until the point where he said that on the day he killed his wife he just woke up and knew it had to happen.
That's its main purpose. To convince uninformed people that it can detect lying. Also, you didn't need a polygraph to see that guy's story sounded complete bullshit.The polygraph is BS by the way. It doesn’t detect lying. Even if he didn’t “fail” it, the detectives were very good in stringing him along and convincing him that he was lying and getting him to eventually confess.
The woman was all nice to him before he took it. Trying to gain his trust so that he would own up them when the pressure is put on.The polygraph is BS by the way. It doesn’t detect lying.

That's something that a feck tonne of people do. It's got nothing to do with being a psychopath.I personally think there are elements of psychopathy to him. The fact that he was able to go on date with his mistress in the town where he resides speaks volumes about his mentality. He did not care about been caught.
yeh, there’s some crimes I can never really understand. I was watching it thinking, errrrr could you not just like, erm, get divorce?I can't wrap my head around things like this. Why not just...divorce?
There’s the WWE wrestler Chris Beniot case. Killed his son and wife over 2-3 days. There’s a couple documentaries on YouTube I believeAs an aside, is there anything similar out there in this sort of style? Found this a really interesting though sad watch and would be interested in more of the same sort of thing?
The Trials of Gabriel Fernandez on Netflix is an excellent, similar(ish) docuseries. Probably even tougher to watch, though.As an aside, is there anything similar out there in this sort of style?

fecking heartbreaking that seriesThe Trials of Gabriel Fernandez on Netflix is an excellent, similar(ish) docuseries. Probably even tougher to watch, though.
Yeah, though there is a good sense of justice at the end at least, which can't be said for a lot of these types of shows.fecking heartbreaking that series
In one sense yea, but the fact that it basically happened again to another kid shows how utterly fecked the system is.Yeah, though there is a good sense of justice at the end at least, which can't be said for a lot of these types of shows.
Just read a brief wikipedia entry about this case. What is the appeal for you (and others) watching something like this? I don't mean that in a rude way, just curious. Reading that I've just read makes me absolutely not want to watch anything like that, because it's a real case. I suppose when I watch or hear about atrocities committed against other human beings, for example in a series like Mindhunter, I have a sort of emotional cushion because it's a drama series with actors playing a part.fecking heartbreaking that series
I don’t really have a “good” answer to that to be honest, but I think it boils down to a natural curiosity and fascination with human psychology and the minds of “evil” people.Just read a brief wikipedia entry about this case.

Is there a valuable insight to be gained by watching it? Is it somehow rewarding? Does it make you appreciate, say, your own kids more in some respect, or want to do better for them?
I was reading a BBC article a few months ago about some sick feck who had an obsession with throwing a kid from a height, and acted it out at Tate Modern I think when he threw a random 6 or 7 year old kid from one of the upper floors down into the main foyer. He's still alive but permanently disabled. Obviously made me think of my 6 year old son and how I'd feel if something like that suddenly happened to him. I regretted even hearing about it.
Anyway, in short, what do you get out of it?
Yeah I understand. To be honest my attitude has probably changed with age. I'd probably be all over this kinda thing in my teens or 20's. Now not so much, unless it's drama.I don’t really have a “good” answer to that to be honest, but I think it boils down to a natural curiosity and fascination with human psychology and the minds of “evil” people.
The true crime genre has unquestionably become more popular in recent years, but our collective intrigue over serial killers etc. is not new.
The short of it for most young people is that they are relatively numb to stuff like this because of the internet, not to say you don't care but you come across so much stuff like this throughout day to day living now its just "the norm".Just read a brief wikipedia entry about this case.

Watched Dear Zachary and it was even more depressing. Sad story.I've watched a lot of true crime docs, and the one that I found hardest to watch was Dear Zachary, this one sounds quite similar and I'm not sure I could endure it.
Just watching it now, on episode 3. I don't have kids though hope to in the future. It's a very hard watch that mother's day card is heartbreakingThe Trials of Gabriel Fernandez on Netflix is an excellent, similar(ish) docuseries. Probably even tougher to watch, though.
