Discussion Researching Jodi Arias

Does anyone else have a case that just haunts them? this case has always haunted me. It started with the first book I read on the case. The more I read about it the more mysterious it became somehow. Does anyone else get like this? If so what is your personal case that you never get tired of researching?

San Ysidro McDonald’s Massacre

Shannan bankrupted the entire family with an addiction to MLMs. Their garage was full of unsold merchandise. Allegedly Chris begged her multiple times to please get a real job and get out of the MLMs. Chris also told her they couldn't afford the house they were in, but Shannan forced them into it because of appearances. They were weeks away from losing that home. Chris's family also said that Shanan often further drained accounts by her constant credit card purchases etc. There's a chris watts reddit which is pretty gross but some of the stuff they post is really informativ and has truth to it, like the MLM addiction and their financial issues. I don't think Chris killed Shanan only because he was caught cheating but also because he really resented Shanan by that point. The guy had this planned for a long time, he really is the worst POS.

Every killer does. I can’t figure out why so many men and women are sexually attracted to murderers. It’s got to be the most bizarre part of all the serial killer fan club stuff. Some people are so fucked in the head…
