Oops.
I don't understand why this case is an example - they caught him anyway.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I admit I didn't think it would have this kind of effect. I'm wrong. Perhaps they need to be more tight lipped on technology being used for this purpose.
This is a two-way street I think. TV shows and media descriptions of investigative techniques as promote a complacency amongst criminals as well.
My brother calls this the "I'm a genius" factor. Some criminals watch a lot of TV, decide that its an accurate protrayal of the investigative techniques likely to employed against them, and then screw up huge and go to jail.
No Sh**. I was watching Forensic Files last night and the detective was telling how a rapist made his women take showers after their rapes which reduced the liklihood that evidence could be recovered and less likely that the women would report the crime. I wanted to scream at the TV STFU!!! You are just making for smarter criminals!
Most criminals are terminally stupid. These criminals get caught.
Some criminals are of normal intelligence. These criminals also get caught, but it's harder work.
Some criminals are extremely intelligent. They never get caught. They never have. They never will.
But they still caught him. He must not have paid enough attention...
The Libs will want to outlaw bleach, especially at Wal-Mart.

It was like they were dialing a phone number, then waiting for the call back so they could trace the call.
Throwing evidence in a frozen lake...
not exactly a mastermind if you ask me
Face it, a sizable (and impressionable) amount of society gets their ideas from the media, whether it is radio, TV or print.
It's very sad. Unfortunately, the libs will still want to outlaw (or require registation to purchase) bleach, instead of going after the root cause.
Mark my words. Here in Phoenix in their effort to fight Meth labs, they've already required OTC non-prescription drugs like Sudafed to be "signed off" behind the counter, before purchase.
The other day, some law-politco wants to add "Drano" to that list. No kidding.

There are 1,000 things that can go wrong or be missed in any crime, and a criminal would have to be a genius to account for half of them. Most criminals are not geniuses. All criminals leave some evidence of their crimes. Most serious crimes are solved. Don't blame the media. If police had their say, there would ne no guns, knives, rope, bleach, etc., etc., because they might be used in crimes.
Ooopps... oh well what are you going to do.
Now lets run a few more stories on the holes in homeland security, and how to sneak in to nuke plants.
Some of this column is totally bogus. Killers have known about fibers, dna, and other "trace" evidence for years--not because of crime shows, but because like anyone else, they follow the trials.
Mrs. Flyer was watching one of those shows last night. They decided to glorify the "media" and "whistleblowers" when the female lead started leaking information about an anthrax investigation to the "media." They portrayed her as a "hero" for defying the Feds and leaking the information to the press. The old "the public has a right to know" syndrome don't ya know. Hollyweirdoes gives me the creeps.
