Do you ever wonder if people we are conversing with on this site know
more, or are a part of the Ram's case, family members, etc.?
I mean, my only claim to fame is that the second author of Helter Skelter
is a friend of mine. On a different note, the only other thing I can contribute is that as I was
going to college and was going to become a teacher and my college criminology
professor called me at home to talk me out of going into teaching and
to consider a career in criminology because he said I showed interest and potential. He is one of the leading experts on Serial Killers in the country. That was back when I was 21. I'm now
in my 30's. AFter 10 years of teaching (which I don't regret in the least) I feel like I really missed my calling
and should have listened to him. I mean, I think I want a job in the morgue or something. True Crime is the only thing I've been
interested in for years. Would anyone else want to share any of their backgrounds? I mean, were you all glued to the tv when Heaven's Gate
had done a group suicide, wearing purple shrouds and Nike's, back in the
mid 90's??? Everyone thought I was crazy for watching it and becoming obsessed with it. This is probably boring for some of you, so just ignore it. I think what really got me into True Crime was when I was 16 years old, living in an apt. with my mom. I was never sick, but the one day I happened to stay home sick, there was a murder next door to my apt. and I walked outside to see all of the police tape and police cars. I have to say that was the day I knew I was into it. Once I get past the initial shock and sadness of what the murder victim had gone through, I then get into my crime solving mode.
So, my question to you Websleuths and JBR followers is this, at what point did you first get interested in True Crime? Was it the JBR case, or was it before that? How long have you all been on the JBR case. Also, if anyone could contribute something about themselves, without revealing too much, would you share with me?
Thanks so much! I appreciate all of you here on the JBR site. You make my days very interesting with all of your input, you're patient with me, you're intelligent, articulate, and knowledgable, and I am honored to be associated with you all. I just wish that I knew more about the people I talk with everyday.
