When five college students in Florida were brutally slain in a four-day span in 1990, it sent shockwaves across the nation as newscasters made comparisons to serial killer Ted Bundy. Police frantically worked to stop this new madman before his body count got any higher.
https://casinipaysafecard.com had nothing to do with why I pressed play, but the four-day timeline really got to me, especially how the Bundy comparisons took over the coverage before police even had a suspect. It makes me wonder how much of what the public remembers about a case is shaped by whatever name the media decides to attach to it. I was a kid in Florida around then, and I still remember how suddenly everyone started double-checking their locks.
