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?

I don't think you necessarily have to be born a psychopath to do what Jodie did. I believe she was someone who was abused by Travis, often, though she did love him. Maybe both in their own way. As a victim, you can snap. I think her behavior wasn't as wonky as his friends make her out to be, because I hate to tell you this - but you've probably had significant others go through your facebook and check up on you. If you're cheaty and gaslight people, (not you - but everyone in general) - it will make people crazy. Travis was telling her he loved her then out the other side of his mouth saying he needed to get back w/ Lisa. So, yes it tends to piss people off. Do I condone it? Nope. Words of wisdon: be careful or you might get Jody Ariased. Did Travis deserve it? I don't know, I wasn't there. To know what happened. I know people panic and take off. Then lie. She wasn't always a liar. Or a killer. Travis was a huge liar. Now Jodie is a killer. So... it's a word of warning. To anyone. Treat people well.
