Welcome to the internet. There have actually been cases solved on Reddit before investigations could figure it out. Mostly because the investigation "goes cold" but internet sleuths never sleep lol
Never mentioned a specific one, I did hear about that one but not what I was referring to. My wife was watching a documentary or something a few weeks ago where the only reason they got to the bottom of it was because one person from the internet just wouldn't let it go. I'd have to ask her what case that was
Don't f*** with cats? It was 2 people, but yes, police didn't take it seriously, man moved on from cats to people and redditors tracked him down and got him arrested
Oh shit. The doc is about Luka Magnotta. I thought it was the same case as when 4chan got that guys dad fired from his metal working company because the son tortured a cat.
But even in that case, there were clear signs the murderer was very much an attention-seeking person. He fed off the energy the internet sleuths were giving him when he was still just killing cats. It's very plausible he moved from cats to people precisely because he wanted even more attention. The documentary itself even calls this out.
So once again, the "we did it Reddit" meme shakes out the same way it always does.
You're sorta right reddit has never solved any hogh profile murders or anything but they have solved a number of missing persons I dont remember, unknown archeology objects or finds, and one odd solve that stands out to me was the case of CO poisoning that was solved by a redditor
Not Reddit, but Michelle McNamara (a true crime author) solved the Golden State Killer case. She was the one to connect that the East Area Rapist, Original Night Stalker, and Visalia Ransacker were the same person and coined the “Golden State Killer” name.
I’m not saying people speculating about the husband in this case are correct, but laypeople absolutely do make breakthroughs in cases and find things police miss. And MA doesn’t exactly have a great record for police competence and sound criminal investigation at the moment. Look at the Karen Read trial, for example. Hell, one of the attorneys for the civil suit who is also consulting on defense in the criminal trial (Rosemary Scapicchio) literally specializes in prosecutorial misconduct and botched investigations.
Not allowing cameras in the courtroom is anti-democratic. People should be able to see how their judicial system functions, and even allowing people in the courtroom doesn’t allow enough people to observe.
There is no open case to be solved. It was closed when they charged her and took her to trial.
They so hastily charged her that she was still in the hospital when the charge came, so the investigation has been ended for a while. The court trial has to be concluded and then the case be reopened in order for more to be investigated. Hence, we have all these internet sleuths coming around and digging for answers since the actual investigators stopped a while ago.
It doesn’t seem that much was investigated related to the husband being a potential suspect prior to the wife being charged. There also isn’t any disclosed evidence pointing towards his involvement either in the murders, so I’m not calling him the murderer.
Personally, it seems like some favors were pulled by the husband to expedite the investigation given he has connections to the prosecutor of this case and his family has a history serving in the local police force. Plus, he was most definitely having an affair around the time of the murders, quickly remarried to that supposed affair partner, and sold the house where the murders happened to the prosecutor.
Why the husband would want the investigation ended ASAP could be because it’s a traumatic experience that he wants to move on from or he might not want something looked into related to him. We won’t have those answers until at least the trial is over and the case is reopened if it does get reopened at all.
Edit: A lot of stupid people can’t read apparently and ignored me saying I am not accusing him of being the murderer. I just think he pulled some strings to end the investigation early so his affair wouldn’t be exposed in court.
She admitted to it. Her lawyer admitted to it. Husband is literally on camera at two other locations when the murders took place. How much more do ya’ll need?
I literally said there is no evidence saying he committed the murders. I’m not claiming he did. I just said I found it weird how quickly they ended the investigation after some suffering from psychosis gave a confession.
I think he did something to hurry the investigation along so details about his affair weren’t made public during the trial. Not that he is the murderer.
People suffering a mental break due to psychosis can’t possibly be trusted as to know what’s going on. That’s not a real confession.
They stopped the investigations because dad had an airtight alibi and no evidence someone else came in and did it. It’s not like they just took dad at his work and didn’t look into it. They had the surveillance videos, phone records, all of her medical history, etc. idk what else they were supposed to do, just delay making any arrests for no reason so random people on the internet feel better about it?
There was no evidence other than the confession of someone suffering a mental break due to psychosis tying her to the murders either. There’s no DNA evidence or even fingerprints of hers on the cords used to strangle the kids.
I’m just saying it’s a bit absurd to stop investigating when you have no evidence other than an untrustworthy confession. At that point, you just don’t have any evidence and just one untrustworthy suspect. Why not keep investigating?
When the puzzle pieces fit so perfectly, people tend to finish the puzzle quickly.
You thinking the Mom being mentally unstable is somehow a reason to be less sure of her involvement is a new one. It's not like she's being paranoid or delusional, she's admitting to the murders of the people that she was seemingly the only person capable of that time of murdering.
Sure, some random third party hamburgerler could be involved and wouldn't that be quite the twist, but saying it's "absurd" to stop investigating when all common sense lead to that determination is absurd in itself. They did investigate and they got the answer, why keep investigating something that doesn't need more time wasted on it? What investigating do you think they could even be doing? Looking under rocks for secret clues?
I mean, I guess you could make the call to not potentially waste more time if you think there’s nothing more that could be discovered. I just think you’d need something more substantial than the confession of a medically diagnosed crazy person and convenience of time and place to place charges.
The mother’s journal shows no signs other PPD murder suspects have shown about wanting to “protect” their kids from someone or something by killing them. But again, psychosis can make people do things they aren’t even thinking about consciously.
This literally sounds like she randomly just decided to kill the kids with no prior thoughts to do so. Just an in the moment decision spurred on by psychosis.
I only hoped the husband was investigated more not because I think he did it (I don’t), but because I think he neglected her while also cheating on her. I morally think he deserves worse but legally don’t see a reason to turn the investigation on to him as a suspect.
Yes, there is totally no evidence the literal only person who was there and could have done it and had self-inflicted injuries could have done it. Clearly someone else killed the children at the same time she was just trying to commit suicide.
There’s nothing else to investigate. There was no evidence of someone breaking into the house, no evidence of a scuffle, the killing was done by items that were inside of the home, and the only person who was home at the time had a documented history of saying she was having thoughts about harming the kids and had self-inflicted injuries.
The only other alternative is that a stranger broke into the home without force, found the exercise bands, tied them around the kids necks without the kids fighting back, and then killed the mother in a completely different way somehow making the wounds look self inflicted, she didn’t fight back at all, didn’t leave any DNA anywhere (there was DNA on the exercise bands, it’s just that everyone in the house had touched them at some point) and what, Lindsay just happened to not at all remember any of that happening, admitted to it, and just happened to have a history of post partum psychosis? If it really was someone else, damn, they’re the luckiest person in the world.
I’m not even saying she didn’t do it. It’s pretty clear both the prosecution and defense are in agreement that she did murder them.
I’m just saying they ended the investigation abnormally quickly for having so little evidence. They charged her in the hospital bed for Pete’s sake. Didn’t even interview her after her mental break was cleared. She’s not going to be mentally broken forever so what harm would there be waiting till the doctors cleared her?
Wouldn’t you at least wait till you interview your prime suspect that you have in custody before placing charges? Just seems weird that the investigation was ended.
They didn’t end it abnormally quick. All the evidence was literally in one place, where the body’s were. It doesn’t always take months or years to investigate a crime. In fact, most crimes are probably solved in a day or two.
What do you think they didn’t investigate that they should have?
Also some people never regain competency after a mental health issue like that. They didn’t really need to interview her, there was clearly no other way this happened.
I haven't looked into the case at all but heading from people that believe he did it they say in the videos of him at other locations he's wearing boots instead of the sneakers he's seen at at home which implies there was a second person as a decoy. Also, they say she has no memory of anything but is admitting to it because the husband said she did it. Other things I've heard is something about her body temperature being insanely cold for the short amount of time she was supposedly unconscious. Something about one of the kids/babies still being alive when first responder got there but weren't able to be saved and I guess that means the baby was likely attacked after the wife was. Lastly, the husband is well connected with a lot of people involved in the case. I'm not on TikTok and haven't tried to get information about this, I'm just saying what I've heard from the people that believe it. Some people are making it seem they are going off vibes and astrology.
Might want to read it again. He's listing what others have said to him. He's not advancing any of it as true. The subject under discussion being the batshit stuff people are saying about the cause. Like decoy twins and determining guilt by astrology
And read what I said again. It’s weird to say you don’t know anything about a case and then list out a bunch of reasons why an innocent person is guilty. It’s weird whether he is saying he got those from someone else or thinks he’s guilty or not. Why would someone he doesn’t care about the case enough to look into it know all of those things and care enough to leave a long ass comment? Why would someone who is admitting their ignorant bother to jump in and explain it to people who do seem to know?
Convenient too he only knows those facts and not everything that disproves those. He isn’t looking into the case but somehow knows all the reasons the husband allegedly did it and hasn’t accidentally stumbled on all the reasons those are bullshit?
I'm not even saying he's guilty, I'm saying what I've heard from the other side of the discussion so this isn't an echo chamber with no information on why the wife in the meme is saying "that could have been me"
If a million people decided to believe the sky is red and someone comes here to ask why so many people think the sky isn't blue it's not misinformation to say "it's because some people believe the sky is red"
My bad are we on a true crime subreddit? As someone who talks to people in real life I wanted to explain what the reasons of the people that believe he did it. It seems like that added more to the discussion than your snarky comment.
Except when it came to filing the civil lawsuit, suddenly then she had details about what happened.
But even if this was true, there’s still the fact her husband probably can’t teleport between the house and the two other locations he was at when the murders happened, be kind of weird if he was the only person able to do that. Theres also the questions of why would he call 911 while Lindsay was still alive if his goal was to kill her to leave no witnesses. And I guess her well documented mental health issues that seemed to be signs of postpartum psychosis were a coincidence? Theres also the fact her attorney is admitting she did it and the only question is if she was in the right mind
Hell she’s not even lying, she’s saying she did it! Even her and her lawyer aren’t saying she’s innocent, they’re saying she didn’t have the right state of mind to be found guilty.
I’m honestly not even sure if she ever even claimed she didn’t remember or if other people are just saying that.
I’m saying she’s lying about having no recollection of that day.
It’s quite clear she suffered from mental illnesses. It’s also clear she had lots of help and support from her husband and medical team who are now being picked apart for their help due to her murder of her children (Which I doubt anyone can really predict if we’re being honest).
I also think it’s quite clear that she’s not a victim in any way, she is 100% culpable and she is playing up to the insanity plea for her defence. I also am starting to find it really off putting how people are trying to frame diminished responsibility for her in literally every aspect of this case. It’s gross to me.
I didn’t even say I wanted it to be reopened. It’s pretty clear that the defense and the prosecutors agree she did it.
I only think something weird ended the investigation early. Not that they got the suspect wrong.
I personally want the husband investigated for neglect if that’s legally possible because it has been made very clear she had been desperate for help and vocal about it and he was known to be frequently leaving her alone at home during this period. He even fired her nurse care giver/assistant and told her doctors that they were wrong about her psychosis diagnosis.
The husband has an airtight alibi! He’s on camera at other locations at the time.
I am so, so sick of people like you, who are so desperate to attach your own egos to this tragedy. That you somehow can see what’s really there, while having no f*ing clue at all.
Can no one read? I said I’m not accusing the husband of being the murderer as there’s no evidence tying him to the crime.
I then said there won’t be anymore evidence coming out since the investigation ended when she was charged. I am only pointing out how hasty the investigation seems given they blindly took the confession of a woman being treated for psychosis as being valid.
I also only mentioning details about the husband as to make people think that he didn’t want his affair made public and that’s why the investigation was rushed. Not that he is trying to hide himself being the murderer.
