Fred & Rose West still haunt my nightmares to this day! Now if you don't know who they are then let me explain... they where the typical "couple next door". They were married, lived in a little house in England. Nothing out of the ordinary... until the day the news broke that ACTUALLY they lured, tortured, and killed 10+ young women and girls and had gotten away with it for yeeeeears!!! They had the the most powerful secret weapon.... Rose!
Her super "sweet" female appearance utterly tricked victims into trusting her and her husband. And they got away with it for DECADES because of how damn sneaky their manipulation tactics where! And so as a young girl growing up in England, this always haunted me.
I mean I DEFINITELY would have trusted her. At 13 years old, I was taught to be careful of the creepy man who is drooling in the corner of a room. I was NOT even remotely skeptical or suspicious of a sweet looking old lady! So that started my curiosity and absolute FASCINATION with psychopaths, sociopaths, narcissists and con-men! And so for yeeeeeears I read every book I could get my hands on! Ted Bundy, Charles Manson, John Wayne Gacy, Green river killer, Elaine Wuornos and Golden State Killer JUST to name a few!
Why the HELL did they do it in the first place? How did they get away with it? What tactics did they use that TOTALLY fooled people? How did they get caught? And finally, what can little Lisa learn so that she would NEVER find herself in that nightmare? Because the truth is..... I DEFINITELY would have fell for it!
And its still frikin happening today! I mean just take a look at the P.Diddy's or Jeffrey Epstein's of the world! Different method, same sad outcomes for many!
And THAT ladies is why I am have invited on the EPIC #1 detective Paul Holes!
