Yeah, but back then they got caught regularly, too. Even today, those dealing in kiddie porn get caught quite frequently.

People involved talk. They give up associates without hesitation to avoid prison, especially the molestors, who know what to expect. They get caught at other illegal activities, and spill the beans to make deals.

I'm not saying that something won't eventually turn up, but don't you think that by now something would have?

The Islamokazis wore masks, true; but some of them (in the Dan Pearl video) were nonetheless identified later. We could expect the FBI to use all the means at its disposal to identify anyone it thought might have been involved in a snuff film if one were to turn up. I'm not so sure that those who might make one would be inclined to take the chance, especially since, once you sell such a thing, you have no way of knowing where it'll end up. It's probably a big reason why none have been found yet.

Not necessarily.

Think about it...a so called "Snuff Film-Video-DVD" would command a PREMIUM...not likely to cater to 'street people' who need Goldstein's 5 MILLION $$$$.

Besides...how do you know 'Goldstein' isn't "working off" some criminal liabilities...and even if he isn't...you gonna risk asking him for the DOUGH, knowing about ...ECHELON, PATRIOT, etc., etc., etc.,...

The "jury" is still out concerning "SNUFF"!

I think and act as if SEX is an affirmation of our Humanity, Spirituallity, and G-D given command to Adam and Eve...

And for the life of me, can't understand the psychology of the "Snuff Video".

The problem is the way you phrase it. The notion is false. "Snuff film" is a murder film. They have been shot.

Trying to say that it has to be sold or have a fictional story leading to the real murder is just buying into urban rumor and explotation cinema ad campaigns.

Murders have been filmed by the killers and that is the product.

A woman was killed here and likely while making a sex video. Maybe the filmmaker didn't want to shoot snuff but it could be what he ended up with. Wouldn't be the first time as even the Straight Doper admits.

Did the Pearl video show his actual murder? I remember watching a video with him in it, but for the life of me I can't remember what was on it. I think I've repressed it. The only thing I remember is clicking on the link and wishing I hadn't. I'm sitting here right now trying to remember the details, but can't.

The mind is a wonderous thing.
