I couldnt have said it any better than Michael Mcleod. Even though i have nerver been dven close to being a victim of such heartless meningless crimes. How can somebody BE so heartless. Dont they care about where their soul will end up being tormented forever doing the same thing over and overr yet to the.selves or however they done what they done the one or ones doing that to them except they NEVER DIE. Forgive me Michael fo not getting your last name right. Peace and much love and good luck to

I have been a watcher of this show since it had been on. It is always good when crimes get solved and the really bad people are taken off the streets. And then families get closure most of the time. I personally understand. My nephew was murdered in 1999.
