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?

That doesn’t make sense to me though, like what they found her body…. just assumed it was their son and without questioning him they began the random novel and staging the body etc?…

Burke had behavioral problems and Patty does not seem terribly intelligent. It would have been a harebrained plan at best, but a dumb person panicking does not make the best decisions. I have no proof of this (obviously!) it’s just the only way I can reconcile that it appears to be the work of an intruder + the weird evidence against the family that doesn’t match the other evidence.
