Level 3 · 1 day agoDavid told his daughter he killed Dawn and then asked her to cover it up. She texted from Dawn's phone and misspelled Pixie. Her own nickname. That single typo blew the whole thing open. Wild that he thought that would work.

Level 4 · 1 day agoBro cooked his wife and then asked for parole to become an anger management therapist. The audacity is genuinely Michelin star level.
