I don’t recall any other point in my adult life where I needed to be next to my mother so badly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid=arts_13893843]In the days and weeks that followed, there were long phone conversations with friends, as everyone tried to process the hows and the whens and the whys. At one point, my sister, in another country and not privy to the same news coverage, called me, convinced that he had been set up and somehow tricked into pleading guilty. “What must they have done to him?” she asked, audibly distressed. It was a testament to how good he had been at pretending to be someone else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a while, you have to stop talking about it. The need to move on becomes palpable. You don’t want to keep loudly dissecting the details in case it prevents other people from healing. So about a month in, still unable to reconcile the person I knew with the person in prison, and tired of going around in mental circles, I made the decision to tell myself he was dead. Doing so allowed me to mourn the friend I had lost—the person I thought he was, the inside jokes we shared, the teenage history—and put the whole thing behind me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Except it’s not really that easy. I was never actually convinced that the root cause of his criminality was a sexual attraction to children. He did not fit the \u003ca href=\"https://www.thoughtco.com/profile-of-pedophile-and-common-characteristics-973203\">classic profile\u003c/a> of a pedophile at all. He was outgoing with other adults, had a lot of friends and a steady stream of age-appropriate girlfriends, and was fiercely protective of his nieces and nephews. Compounding matters was the fact that it was a high-profile case; now and again, new stories about him would emerge. One summer, at a wedding, a stranger made a joke about him, unaware that I had known him. To this day, when people find out where I’m from, some of them ask if I ever met him in a manner that suggests he’s halfway to becoming an urban myth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The longer I tried to ignore it, the more my need to figure out why he did what he did increased. So I started researching in earnest. Books about psychopathy and psychology and mental illness. Checklists of various personality disorders to see which one made the most sense. I read papers written by criminal psychologists and, at one point, even consulted with one directly because she’d had a lot of experience treating pedophiles. There were breadcrumbs and clues, but a clear answer evaded me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then a colleague gave me a gift: \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stranger_Beside_Me\">\u003cem>The Stranger Beside Me\u003c/em>\u003c/a> by Ann Rule. Not only had Rule been good friends with Ted Bundy, she’d also been working in the police department during the manhunt to find him, so she wrote about it all in agonizing detail. Rule’s predicament was comfortingly familiar, and the way she described Bundy sounded a lot like my friend—charming, handsome, intelligent, vain, never lacking in female attention. The book was far and away the most helpful thing I had read so far. So I kept going.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Next, I chose \u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Somebodys-Husband-Son-Yorkshire-Ripper/dp/0571222838\">\u003cem>Somebody’s Husband, Somebody’s Son: The Story of the Yorkshire Ripper\u003c/em>\u003c/a> by Gordon Burn, because it focused not only on Peter Sutcliffe’s crimes but the relationships he had maintained with his family and friends too. Those closest to Sutcliffe suspected nothing at all, even as he murdered 13 women, right under their noses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After that came \u003ca href=\"https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/103/1031837/killing-for-company/9781784759421.html\">\u003cem>Killing For Company\u003c/em>\u003c/a> about Dennis Nilsen, a mild-mannered civil servant who murdered, dissected and disposed of at least 12 men while living in the heart of London. I had a hard time putting Brian Masters’ book down and plowed through it in a matter of days. One of the final chapters offered me a real turning point. In it, Masters breaks down, in great detail, the personality traits of serial killers—and my friend had almost all of them, down to bizarrely specific details. I stayed up all night with a highlighter. Later on, someone quietly confessed that he believed our friend would have “definitely” killed someone if he hadn’t been caught when he was. When I agreed and told him about the details in \u003cem>Killing For Company\u003c/em>, he looked relieved that someone else shared this theory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent months, I have had three separate people ask me why the media I consume is so dark in subject matter. It didn’t use to be. Now, every other book I read is about serial killers (my current choice is \u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Fatal-Vision-True-Crime-Classic/dp/0451417941\">\u003cem>Fatal Vision\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, about Dr. Jeffrey McDonald who was imprisoned in 1979 for slaughtering his wife and children). When I watch TV and movies, I am mostly focused on true crime documentaries or dramatizations. (Lifetime’s \u003ci>\u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monster_in_My_Family\">Monster in My Family\u003c/a>\u003c/i> is a current favorite, thanks to the series’ process of putting the families of criminals in the same room as those of victims, allowing connections to take place). When I run out of episodes to stream, I find myself listening to the \u003ca href=\"https://casefilepodcast.com/\">Casefile\u003c/a> podcast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid=arts_13939170]The only time I have any objection to consuming true crime \u003cem>anything\u003c/em> these days is when \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/pop/97139/is-americas-obsession-with-true-crime-re-writing-history\">lines of decency get crossed\u003c/a>. Allowing extended interviews with killers to air, for example—as \u003ca href=\"https://www.netflix.com/title/80226612\">\u003cem>The Ted Bundy Tapes\u003c/em>\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.aetv.com/shows/the-menendez-murders\">\u003cem>The Menendez Murders: Erik Tells All\u003c/em>\u003c/a> recently did—is, to me, both an affront to victims and a reward to killers. I don’t want to hear anything those men have to say, any more than I want to read OJ Simpson’s universally despised book \u003cem>If I Did It\u003c/em>. Those narcissists don’t deserve the privilege to speak anymore, nor have they earned it. I know my old friend would jump at the chance to have something similar made about him, and I would aggressively object should the occasion arise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, true crime has provided me with answers I simply couldn’t find elsewhere. (I now believe \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissistic_personality_disorder\">narcissistic personality disorder\u003c/a> played a major role in this case.) It has allowed me to make sense of how none of his friends had even the slightest inkling he was harming children. (Turns out, almost no one ever does in these situations.) And it has taken my chaotic, swirling thoughts and replaced them with a degree of calm and clarity I once presumed unachievable. My monster is no longer lurking in the corner. I’ve locked him in a vault, right there with everyone else’s. Now, finally, I can let him go once and for all.\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"What do you do when your loved one has committed the most heinous of deeds? True crime can probably tell you.

It was a testament to how good he had been at pretending to be someone else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a while, you have to stop talking about it. The need to move on becomes palpable. You don’t want to keep loudly dissecting the details in case it prevents other people from healing. So about a month in, still unable to reconcile the person I knew with the person in prison, and tired of going around in mental circles, I made the decision to tell myself he was dead. Doing so allowed me to mourn the friend I had lost—the person I thought he was, the inside jokes we shared, the teenage history—and put the whole thing behind me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Except it’s not really that easy. I was never actually convinced that the root cause of his criminality was a sexual attraction to children. He did not fit the \u003ca href=\"https://www.thoughtco.com/profile-of-pedophile-and-common-characteristics-973203\">classic profile\u003c/a> of a pedophile at all. He was outgoing with other adults, had a lot of friends and a steady stream of age-appropriate girlfriends, and was fiercely protective of his nieces and nephews. Compounding matters was the fact that it was a high-profile case; now and again, new stories about him would emerge. One summer, at a wedding, a stranger made a joke about him, unaware that I had known him. To this day, when people find out where I’m from, some of them ask if I ever met him in a manner that suggests he’s halfway to becoming an urban myth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The longer I tried to ignore it, the more my need to figure out why he did what he did increased. So I started researching in earnest. Books about psychopathy and psychology and mental illness. Checklists of various personality disorders to see which one made the most sense. I read papers written by criminal psychologists and, at one point, even consulted with one directly because she’d had a lot of experience treating pedophiles. There were breadcrumbs and clues, but a clear answer evaded me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then a colleague gave me a gift: \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stranger_Beside_Me\">\u003cem>The Stranger Beside Me\u003c/em>\u003c/a> by Ann Rule. Not only had Rule been good friends with Ted Bundy, she’d also been working in the police department during the manhunt to find him, so she wrote about it all in agonizing detail. Rule’s predicament was comfortingly familiar, and the way she described Bundy sounded a lot like my friend—charming, handsome, intelligent, vain, never lacking in female attention. The book was far and away the most helpful thing I had read so far. So I kept going.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Next, I chose \u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Somebodys-Husband-Son-Yorkshire-Ripper/dp/0571222838\">\u003cem>Somebody’s Husband, Somebody’s Son: The Story of the Yorkshire Ripper\u003c/em>\u003c/a> by Gordon Burn, because it focused not only on Peter Sutcliffe’s crimes but the relationships he had maintained with his family and friends too. Those closest to Sutcliffe suspected nothing at all, even as he murdered 13 women, right under their noses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After that came \u003ca href=\"https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/103/1031837/killing-for-company/9781784759421.html\">\u003cem>Killing For Company\u003c/em>\u003c/a> about Dennis Nilsen, a mild-mannered civil servant who murdered, dissected and disposed of at least 12 men while living in the heart of London. I had a hard time putting Brian Masters’ book down and plowed through it in a matter of days. One of the final chapters offered me a real turning point. In it, Masters breaks down, in great detail, the personality traits of serial killers—and my friend had almost all of them, down to bizarrely specific details. I stayed up all night with a highlighter. Later on, someone quietly confessed that he believed our friend would have “definitely” killed someone if he hadn’t been caught when he was. When I agreed and told him about the details in \u003cem>Killing For Company\u003c/em>, he looked relieved that someone else shared this theory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent months, I have had three separate people ask me why the media I consume is so dark in subject matter. It didn’t use to be. Now, every other book I read is about serial killers (my current choice is \u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Fatal-Vision-True-Crime-Classic/dp/0451417941\">\u003cem>Fatal Vision\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, about Dr. Jeffrey McDonald who was imprisoned in 1979 for slaughtering his wife and children). When I watch TV and movies, I am mostly focused on true crime documentaries or dramatizations. (Lifetime’s \u003ci>\u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monster_in_My_Family\">Monster in My Family\u003c/a>\u003c/i> is a current favorite, thanks to the series’ process of putting the families of criminals in the same room as those of victims, allowing connections to take place). When I run out of episodes to stream, I find myself listening to the \u003ca href=\"https://casefilepodcast.com/\">Casefile\u003c/a> podcast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"postid":"arts_13939170","label":""},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>The only time I have any objection to consuming true crime \u003cem>anything\u003c/em> these days is when \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/pop/97139/is-americas-obsession-with-true-crime-re-writing-history\">lines of decency get crossed\u003c/a>.

I don’t want to hear anything those men have to say, any more than I want to read OJ Simpson’s universally despised book \u003cem>If I Did It\u003c/em>. Those narcissists don’t deserve the privilege to speak anymore, nor have they earned it.

It has allowed me to make sense of how none of his friends had even the slightest inkling he was harming children. (Turns out, almost no one ever does in these situations.)

You see, Kelly's dad is some kind of weapons dealer and, with \"peace being declared,\" business is down! Kelly forks over the money she was going to use on a dress and tells Zack prom is off. When Zack finally finds out why, he makes a prom for two and squires Kelly away to a dreamy crepe-papered picnic bench.
