      What I want to know is why the level of education isn't higher for police officers. Seems they routinely mess up investigations over there unless it's an open and shut case. Surprising they wouldnt have interviewed the gf of the security guard originally about the call length or even check the call time as being only 3 minutes long. Very basic stuff

    I had a weird experience. My friend and I went shopping one afternoon, I wore a knee length dress and grey high heeled booties and she wore shorts and sandals. As we approached the parking garage I felt someone gaining on us, I looked behind me and saw a man with a camera strapped around his neck walking very fast and looking down at the ground. He seemed in a hurry but we didn’t feel threatened. But when we got near our car he came up behind us and blocked us in between cars and the wall so we couldn’t go anywhere, and he started rapidly taking pictures my ankles and feet zooming in and getting closer and closer until he was a couple feet away then moved on to her feet and did the same. I shouted at him to stop and leave us alone and tried to find my phone in my purse but he ran off before I could could see what direction he went. It all happened so fast. It’s creepy he had pictures of our heels and feet somewhere in his possession.

He said people who lie always has a certain pause or something in their voice, and that's what it would check for. He said it's so small most people doesn't hear it. I failed it twice somehow even though I was in bed sleep when the thing happened. So, no I never believe those tests.

    Initially watching this reminded me of my days in grad school being alone in the college building late night on the weekends trying to finish video editing projects. The software is expensive. So I had to use the university computers. We didn't have guards. We would just get to the building during the late afternoon when it was open, sign in, and then stay for hours doing work while the building would get locked from the outside at night. Sometimes I'd finish really late and just walk back to my apartment at 3 a.m., not thinking much of it. I was about to say it would've been nice to have guards in our buildings, until I saw the ending. Such a heartbreaking story.

    I KNEW IT! I used to study in my campus's basement computer labs all the time and they are EERILY quiet after about 10 pm. The lights are dim and the sound it muffled by the thick, reinforced concrete walls. There is no way Dixon could have seen & heard what he said; it had to be him. As soon as he said the other guard hadn't contacted him, my suspicion locked in. His alibi seemed way too neat. Maybe it was all my years evading creeps at night on campus, but this one felt obvious to me.

      There were investors that raised concerns about Bernie Madoff because they couldn't figure out how he made his gains, and the SEC did nothing. It was only when his kids turned him in that they did something.
      There were at least a couple of people who did school shootings that posted about their intentions on social media before hand. People reported the messages to the police or FBI and they didn't take it seriously. It's better to deal with a problem while it is small before it turns into a big problem.

      Yeah that was what bothered me too, i watched the first 15 minutes twice and the 2 main things that bothered me were the printer and the shoes. The backpack was found but the shoes werent? That in my mind meant that the killer moved the shoes far away but left the backpack?? Also what are the odds she lost both shoes AND socks during the struggle without the killer purposely removing them and as pointed above, moving them speficially. Also the security guards were the ones to know what the other was doing at any time and knew the area so i figured it was the security guard who had history and that the blood was from the janitor (nosebleed/cut?) which caused a mixup.

      For me, the missing shoes did raise suspicion, I mean, _where were they ?!_ But more than that, I couldn't get over the missing socks! Like, what ? where ? how ? why ?!! The printer did not raise suspicion because back in my Univ days, I was overly cautious about my projects and, so as not to lose any material just in case I forgot to hit the "save" button, I would print every two pages of completed work.

      Indeed, however it is so easy to do that in an investigation, you have to work your way through the case and at one time or another there are different suspects who end up having nothing to do with the incident. That is just life, one person the one who was injured or killed may have contact with dozens of people over a day, especially in a large campus area, and suspicion follows the clues as they become known. That's just the way it has to be done. It would be great if every criminal would leave their student ID on the body but that doesn't happen all that often.

      It also leads to a lot of chases down rabbit holes, puts innocent people in prison, and leave cases ultimately unsolved due to police not paying enough attention to everything in front of them.

      @@Joeysaladslover haha it’s a known fact. In cases of sexual assault/abuse/violence, fake accusations represent around 2% of all cases which is basically nothing. But somehow, too many people love to bring up the false allegations because it’s fits perfectly their sexist narrative that women lie all the time and that they just want to hurt men and men’s reputations, etc. Even tho factually most of rapists and abusers still keep their job ! Some even get promoted hahaha. If you want to stop the irony and dig deeper, it’s up to you to educate yourself, learn about the world and the injustice that women and minorities face everyday, I don’t owe you knowledge, I’m not your personal assistant, I can only bring awareness and hope you’ll find your way, bring your guard down and listen to the victims around you and maybe in the internet. You don’t have to carry all the world’s misery, but surely you can land a helping hand and be an ally to people who really need their voices to be amplified. Thanks and take care.
