I’m just curious—what do you think of the Lindsay Clancy trial? Do you believe she is innocent or guilty? I’ve seen a lot of people on social media saying they believe Patrick did it, but that’s hard for me to believe. What do you think?
I've just finished watching this (HBO) I would really recommend it. The whole family seems wrecked. The dad Michael and their eldest son are the main ones actually doing the interview the rest is footage or from neighbours etc. The dad baffles me he is soooo over the top and I felt so sorry for the son. I definetly think the mum was the manipulator when you see some of the things she done. Absolute madness of a watch but would really recommend
The Cleo Smith case is one of Australia's most gripping missing person stories — an 18-day disappearance that ended in a miracle. On 16 October 2021, four-year-old Cleo Smith vanished from her family's tent at the Blowholes campsite in Macleod, Western Australia, while her mother and stepfather slept just metres away. The frantic search for Cleo Smith missing turned into a nationwide effort, with police, volunteers and the community scouring the remote coastline.
Then, 18 days later, came the moment that stunned the nation: officers found Cleo Smith alive in a house in Carnarvon, over 75 kilometres from the campsite. This true crime deep dive walks through the full timeline — the night she disappeared, the desperate missing persons hunt, the breakthrough that cracked the case, and the arrest of Terence Kelly. We examine how a sleepy Western Australian town became the centre of a criminal investigation and how an ordinary police routine check changed everything.
Here's the full story of Natanis Merasty's disappearance from Edmonton, Alberta. On May 5, 2025, 24-year-old Natanis Merasty was last seen in Edmonton. Ten days later, her black Hyundai Tucson was found abandoned on James Smith Cree Nation — painted silver.
In between, the vehicle traveled through Alberta, crossed by ferry to Vancouver Island, then turned around and came back east. Natanis was never seen in any of the footage.
This video covers everything publicly known about her disappearance — the timeline, the route, the repaint, and what investigators have and haven't confirmed — based on official statements from Edmonton Police Service and confirmed media reporting.

Brando did not “smuggle” his daughter Cheyenne away to protect his son; he wanted to protect her. She was mentally unstable giving conflicting accounts to police , but LA prosecutors exploited this to drain Marlon emotionally and financially.The Drollet family’s strong influence over lawyers and judges in Tahiti could not establish that she was mentally competent to testify.
Since the night of the incident in May 1990, Cheyenne was absent from the room and severely mentally unstable, making her contradictory statements legally void and inadmissible as court evidence. Official interrogations in Tahiti between 1990 and 1992 by judges and the victim’s father failed to establish her legal competency or provide any evidence implicating Christian in premeditated murder or involving her in a full murder crime. This refutes the media narrative that Marlon "smuggled her away" to protect Christian, as she was relocated solely due to her mental inability to provide legal testimony before any court. The prosecution exploited her psychological breakdown to drain Marlon emotionally and financially, despite knowing that reaching a plea deal with Christian was inevitable regardless of her presence.
I’ve been getting into true crime content lately and wanted to try something a bit different — recreating short stories (politics, hacking/cybercrime, historical cases, etc.) with actual 3D visuals instead of just talking-head or stock footage.
I build the scenes in Blender and edit everything in DaVinci Resolve, aiming for something a bit more cinematic than the usual format. Videos are short (~5 min), narrated by me, and I’m still early — just 3 episodes in.
Would genuinely love feedback from people who watch a lot of true crime content: does this style of visual storytelling appeal to you, or do you prefer the more traditional formats? Trying to figure out if this is worth pushing further before I sink more time into it.
Anyone else think the boyfriend is so guilty in this as well? Like how can you not sus out your wife not being pregnant for so long without even questioning her?? I'm so overwhelmed
“Amanda and Raffaele have not lied.”
I have heard this schpiel so many times from Amanda Knox’s supporters or (Amandist’s)
Firstly, everyone lies. Let’s start with statistics.
In a survey, 75% of the participants admitted to lying between 0 to 2 times daily. During communication, 7% of it consisted of lying but only 10% were major lies. 90% of the time, the lies were trivial.

We know Amanda lied because she lied about smoking weed.
The Initial Denial: Early in the 2007 investigation, Knox lied to police and claimed they hadn't smoked pot, stating she covered for her roommates so they would not face professional consequences or lose their housing/jobs.
The Admission: Knox later acknowledged that she and Sollecito had smoked a marijuana joint and watched a movie at his flat on the night of November 1, 2007, which formed part of her contested alibi.
So there. Amanda Knox is likely part of the 75% who lies daily. Why? Because she lied point blank about the weed. That’s the first thing, she knowingly lied in a police investigation about a murder, to the police.
So, what other lies do we have?
Off the top of my head.
1. Amanda lied about her selective memory of that night. Her memory is razor sharp in her biographies, but terrible that night. Only that night. It’s the only night she ever has memory issues according to her two books, countless interviews, yada yada.
2. Amanda lied about where she was the night of the murder. First stating she was at home, then stating she went to the basketball courts with Patrick, then she saw Patrick murder Meredith, then that she was back at home. We know she is lying here. The question is which statement is a lie and why.
3. Amanda lied about the bathmat sashay. How do we know? Because in some statements, she bathmat sashays out and back, in some she bathmatsashays only out, in some she doesn’t at all. We know she’s lying.
4. Amanda and Raffaele lied about the state of Filomena’s door and who opened it.
5. Amanda and Raffaele lied about what time they woke up that morning.
6. Raffaele lied about his alibi.
We know they are lying.
So what else are they lying about? Anyone who says Amanda has not lied is in denial of case facts. It’s proven the moment she admits she lied about smoking about weed.
The average person lies, is a liar, lies twice a day. So on average, given Amanda already lied to the police once, and given these statements are clearly not true, it’s proven she had the capacity to lie, did lie, and likely according to statistics would lie more than once a day at least.
If Amanda lied about any other part of the case, would it change the people’s mind who believe that she’s innocent?
Because she did.
As Meredith Kercher died 6886 days ago, the average amount of lies Amanda has told if she falls within the average person’s statistics is 13732 lies.
Since she has dedicated most of her time to speaking about the case, nor is she known for telling the truth about anything, it’s not unreasonable to speculate Amanda has told thousands of lies about her involvement in the murder of Meredith Kercher.
I have a great long story to tell of my experience with an attempt of murder on my life, property squatting, witnessing human and drug trafficking, solicitation of weapons modification and drugs by known police informants involving corrupt police in Santa Rosa county Florida. I have attempted many times to report this to the FBI and other agencies but remain stonewalled. Because of this I am going public with my experience for My safety, in hopes that the more people that know this information the safer I might be. This denial of dirt and disease runs deep into law enforcement, fire department, county workers ie. Lawyers, judges, clerk's , facilaters, local media and property investors. I WANT ALL TO KNOW THAT I AM WILLING AND INSIST ON UNDERGOING ANY FORM OF TEST FOR DECEPTION. I am writing this in hope of receiving help to clear my name and to prosecute those involved in blacklisting me.
I was jumped by a group of three men who shouted homophobic slurs at me near their pickup truck outside of The Seal pub in Harwich. Message me if you witnessed the incident or if you have any information.
The vault two floors under the Antwerp Diamond Center was the diamond trade's gold standard, in a city that handles roughly 80 percent of the world's rough diamonds. The control stack:
Ten controls, each independently credible, and the industry's assessment was that the stack was effectively absolute. Dealers stored inventory there specifically because nobody believed it could be opened.
Over the weekend of 15-16 February 2003 a crew opened it without tripping anything, forced roughly 100 of about 160 safe deposit boxes, and left with north of $100 million. No weapons, no violence, no forced entry into the building. It wasn't discovered until staff came in Monday morning and found emptied boxes and missing tapes.
What each control actually fell to
The IR heat-and-motion sensor — the layer specifically designed to catch a warm body moving in a dark room — was temporarily blinded with a film of ordinary hairspray, long enough for someone to reach it and physically disable it.
The magnetic contact on the door, which should have fired the instant the door broke its field, was defeated by holding the two halves together with aluminum and tape so the field never opened.
The light detector was covered. The combination had been captured weeks earlier by a concealed camera recording the dial being turned.
The University of Washington security group made the point that lands hardest here: taken individually, the exploit against each of the ten high-tech controls looks trivial to the point of absurdity.
Why that's the interesting part rather than the funny part
The stack was never ten independent defenses. It was ten expressions of one shared assumption — that no attacker would get close enough, for long enough, to study the set.
An IR sensor is formidable if you meet it by surprise in the dark. It's a can of hairspray if you've known its make and position for two years. A magnetic contact is unbeatable if you don't know it exists and a strip of tape if you do.
The stack's real security was a sum of surprises. Remove surprise and the layers stop multiplying difficulty and start merely adding to a to-do list. Ten controls became a sequence of known problems with known answers, and the arithmetic changed from multiplicative to additive.
That's the failure mode, and it's the one the industry eventually internalised the hard way — which is why the impenetrable perimeter got abandoned in favour of assume-breach, continuous monitoring, and blast-radius limitation.
The access model
Leonardo Notarbartolo didn't break in to study the vault. He rented in it.
For roughly two and a half years he posed as a diamond merchant with an office and a safe deposit box in the building, which gave him an unremarkable reason to come and go and to descend to the vault whenever he liked. From inside, he filmed the door and its controls with a concealed camera, took notes on guard schedules and the brand names of the locks and safes, and at some point obtained building blueprints. He carried all of it back to Turin and built a complete model of the target.
He defeated the vault by being welcomed through it, repeatedly, until he understood its controls better than the firm that installed them. The taxonomy for that is a decade old now — legitimate access, long dwell, extensive reconnaissance, single objective, exfiltration in one event — but Antwerp is the physical-world version, and it predates the vocabulary by years.
The control that was actually missing
Everything in the stack was a prevention control. The vault could be opened, and there was no meaningful capability to notice that it had been.
It was opened, occupied for around two hours, comprehensively looted, and closed again — over a weekend, with nobody watching, and the only record of any of it walked out the door in a bag. Detection lag was roughly 40 hours, and detection when it came was a human noticing empty boxes.
Ten prevention controls, zero response capability, and log integrity that depended on the logs being physically present in the building the attacker was inside.
The cleanup
They engineered every step of the intrusion and none of the exit.
The evidence bag was supposed to be burned. One crew member, left alone with it, convinced himself he heard someone coming, scattered the contents across a patch of ground off the E19 and fled. The land belonged to a retiree with a documented hatred of litterers and a habit of reporting illegal dumping.
Within about 48 hours he found the pile and called the police. Recovered from it: a Diamond Center videotape, envelopes from the building, payment stubs, a business card belonging to the crew's electronics specialist, a discarded SIM card, a supermarket receipt whose timestamp let investigators pull store camera footage of one of the crew, an invoice for a low-light surveillance system naming Notarbartolo as the purchaser, and a half-eaten salami sandwich carrying his DNA.
Notarbartolo drew ten years. Others got five apiece. Several participants were never identified. Almost none of the diamonds were recovered, because loose stones are fungible, anonymous, and effectively untraceable once they re-enter the flow through Antwerp and Mumbai and Tel Aviv.
The attack was the engineered part. The cleanup was the part that generated attributable artifacts, which is more or less exactly how sophisticated intrusions get attributed now — not by failing to get in, but by reusing infrastructure, leaving metadata, or otherwise producing the digital equivalent of a sandwich with your DNA on it.

The question I'd put to this sub: the Antwerp stack failed because ten controls shared one assumption and nobody stress-tested the assumption rather than the controls. In practice, how often does a layered architecture get audited for correlated dependency — where the layers look independent on the diagram but all rest on the same premise about attacker dwell time, or the same identity provider, or the same assumption that a tenant with valid credentials isn't the threat? I've seen plenty of control-by-control audit. I've seen much less "what single assumption, if false, degrades all of these at once."
About a week ago, I saw "The Vanishing," the film starring Sandra Bullock...

Two nights later, I watched a TV show about the American serial killer Ted Bundy. Intrigued, I delved deeper into his story, and was struck by the similarities between the character of Barney (the "villain" of the film) and Ted Bundy himself: the fake cast trick used to lure victims; the rescue, years earlier, of a drowning girl...
I don't think it's a coincidence.
I wanted to know if anyone else who's a fan of true crime and cinema has noticed these similarities.
I saw that the American film is a remake of a Dutch film, which is based on the short novel "The Golden Egg" by Tim Krabbé; perhaps it was the author of the novel who drew inspiration from Ted Bundy for his character.
I've done some research online, but I haven't found any evidence to support this derivation.
I'd be curious to know if anyone can tell me more about it.
