The most insane wikipedia article I know. Many paragraphs describe events that seem like the worst thing that could happen, but then the next paragraph is somehow worse.

It really took a handwritten confession of murder and cannibalism for the cops to find him. They held an innocent guy for over 100 days even though the parents of his last victim sent their daughter with him to "his niece's birthday party" and never saw her again? Seems pretty obvious that he was the one who took her lol

    We take modern investigation and forensic processes and techniques for granted. I listen to a lot of true crime podcasts and the amount of shit people could get away with 70+ years ago was insane.
