Level 2 · 5 days agoThe sandals detail got me. That one unconscious move gave him away completely.

Level 7 · 5 days agoMark put his sandals on before his fake breakdown so he wouldn't hurt his feet. Bro spent years faking a medical degree and that's where the self preservation instinct finally kicked in

Level 2 · 5 days agothe sandals detail is what got me. pure survival instinct. your brain never fully shuts off even when youre faking a breakdown. that one detail told investigators everything they needed to know about who Mark really was.
