Chapter 65 confessor

In "Black Dahlia" directed by Brian De Palma, Elizabeth Short, a lowly Hollywood actress, was killed. Because of her tragic death and mysterious and glamorous life story, it became a sensational topic, and the media reported it extensively As the case progressed, a large number of confessors appeared in the police station. They voluntarily admitted that they had killed Elizabeth Short. There were men, women and children, and their motivations were all kinds of strange, which became the most black humorous part of the film. The movie is adapted from real events.Elizabeth Short came to Hollywood at the age of 22 and wanted to enter the film industry. Because of her unremarkable appearance, her road to the big screen was extremely bumpy, but she had a bold personality and quickly became a celebrity in the social world. "Sexy Goddess". In January 1947, the body gave her the title "Black Dahlia".The case became unsolved later, but over the years since then, about 500 people have voluntarily admitted to being the perpetrators of the "Black Dahlia" case.

Behind sensational cases, there are always a large number of confessors coming to their door. In 1932, the 20-month-old son of the American flying hero Charles Lindbergh was kidnapped and killed. It took the police four years to find the murderer, a German carpenter with a criminal record. During this period, two hundred people came out on their own initiative. plead guilty.During the detection of "Green River Mystery", the largest serial murder case in American history, there have been constant emergence of suspects in the past 20 years-they often call themselves "Green River Killers" when they sexually assault women.

Those murderers who were finally confirmed also often exaggerated their crimes, such as the "Manson Family" who killed the wife of the famous director Polanski, and Henry Lee Lucas, a Texas man who killed countless people. , In twenty years, he killed six hundred people in the United States, Europe and Japan. Most puzzling of all are those who pleaded guilty.Psychologists believe that they came forward to confess their crimes out of a pathological need to attract attention and be associated with celebrities and sensational events. There is great satisfaction in being the center of the vortex.They reminded me of the famous joke that people were watching a car accident on the street, and the people behind couldn't squeeze in, shouting: "The injured is my son", people made room for him, he went in, and was dumbfounded: The wounded was a donkey.

Of course, that doesn't rule out some people's fascination with crime and the weirdness itself.The most classic one is "The Murder of Empress Xiaomei". On the second day of Christmas 1996, six-year-old "little beauty queen" JonBenet Ramsey was murdered in the basement of Boulder, Colorado.Ten years after the incident, John Carr, a former elementary school teacher, turned himself in, but evidence showed that he was not at the scene at all, and the DNA did not match what was left at the scene.Experts believe that he was so focused on child pornography and child sexual abuse cases that he would pretend to be the "lucky" murderer.He was mesmerized, overwhelmed by the regret that he was "not there".

In short, there are always so many people who try to make troubles in their dull life, even in the form of actively becoming suspects.A peaceful life is a blessing to some and a poison to others.
