Somewhat o/t, what I find interesting here is how my “hinky meter” has been activated and developed since I became a member here. I’ll admit I used to be somewhat naive and had a tendency to believe people who were good liars (like OJ and Patsy Ramsey-embarrassed). I used to say, “surely nobody would do something like that”. Now after seeing sooooo many cases here, certain things pop out as automatically suspicious, which would not have before. While there are exceptions, coincidences and the true element of bad luck in some cases, I/we are able to isolate “fishy factors” based on our experiences here.
For example, I was watching a Dateline episode about a mother named Quinn who was allegedly kidnapped for ransom. I was able to immediately able to immediately call BS based on her handwritten long letter and other elements which would have been quite rare, had it been a true kidnapping.
Unfortunately I’ve that really bad people do exist, and while some may seem like they may be telling the truth “I would never hurt my baby boy”, often people lie, lie, lie. This is hard for me to fathom sometimes because it’s not as easy for me to lie as it seems to be for others.
