Although I admit there is some logic to the second thing you said “dead men/kids tell no tales”.

Although I think just the prospect of life would be enough to cause such awful excuses for humans to kill their victims anyway to cover their trails.

The child’s name was Adam Walsh. He was taken from the Hollywood mall. Little known fact is that Jeffrey Dahmer lived in South Florida at the time and was also a suspect.

There’s no telling how many people he actually murdered. He was let out of prison early back in the 70’s due to overcrowding.

TY, that was it. What an awful sad story,

A few reasons why I think it was Toole. He confessed. He was in the area. His and his BFF Lucas modus operandi was to cruise in cars, look for victims and either attack them in a quiet area or often take them away, do their dirty deeds then dump the body (Adam’s remains were found 130 miles away in a canal).
Didn’t Dahmer always take his victims home?

They should have been able to clinch the case as they got Tooles blood soaked carpet out of his car….but the police lost it in true keystone cops fashion🫣.

The problem is having no greater punishment for a child molester who kills his victims than for a child molester who does not. My preference would be to shoot child molesters and to draw and quarter then burn at the stake child molester murderers, but that is probably not going to be an option anytime soon.

The fact is that most child molesters do not kill their victims. I am ok with locking them up for the rest of their lives, as long as there is no possibility of them ever being released. Child molesters who murder their victims should be executed.

a serious study showed for every execution 6 potential murders are deterred

My biggest problem with the death penalty in the U.S. is that it takes too damned long to carry out. It would be far more effective if we had expedited appeals for anyone sentenced to death and, if the conviction is affirmed, publicly executing them, preferably within a year of their conviction.
