Netflix’s Conversations with a Killer willfully participates in Ted Bundy’s 3-ring circus

The new true crime documentary series demonstrates that even after his death, Ted Bundy runs his own show. A high number of serial killers are malignant narcissists — often the kind who suffer from delusions of grandeur.

Ironically, that’s also what Conversations with a Killerseems to be doing now. The documentary, which was released Thursday, is a dramatization of the 2000 book Ted Bundy: Conversations with a Killer by investigative reporters Stephen Michaud and Hugh Aynesworth. It’s drawn...

20 Stories From The Witness Protection Program That Went Terribly Wrong

We’ve all seen movies where some Average Joe testifies in a high-profile case and has to enter the Witness Protection Program. Agents in sunglasses hand him a box containing his new identity.

Between failing to protect innocent citizens and enabling dangerous criminals, the US Marshals have bungled its fair share of cases.
