Level 8 · 5 days agoSaying Monique 'might never have killed' without Fourniret undersells her. She wrote back agreeing to deliver victims. That's not passivity, that's initiative.

Level 3 · 5 days agoFourniret wasn't just failed by the system. Communities saw signs and stayed quiet too. That's on all of us.
Jonah
Level 7 · 5 days agoA thirteen year old girl did more to stop a serial killer than decades of courts, magistrates and an entire justice system. Genuinely unreal. The system built to catch him couldn't. A kid with rope burns did.
