"Captain Underwear ova hea" - Jerry Brudos

Jerry was incredibly scary and the psychology behind his crimes has been analyzed by many. Moral of this story... You need to catch this shit early because if we dismiss unhealthy sick fantasies as harmless thoughts, it will have terrifying consequences for society.
