    The beheading blinking experiment was in the French revolution. If I remember correctly, a doctor who studied these sort of things theorized you stayed alive after beheading, and when the revolution turned on him he told his assistant he would blink as long as he could after his execution and the assistant was to keep track of how long he blinked. He blinked for like 30 seconds.

      While a fun theory, it isn't true. We as humans have four major blood vessels that carry blood to and away from the brain. If either of these become severed, we lose consciousness in a matter of a short few seconds and maybe even instantly at times.
      EDIT: Four blood vessels, not two.

      Failing a lie detector isn't proof, just like passing one isn't proof. If I was hooked up to one and they asked me if I killed JFK I'd probably fail despite the fact that I'm 25. I'm a very nervous person and my heart rate would no doubt be raised. It's also not that hard to pass even if you are lying. Not saying it wasn't him I wouldn't be surprised if it was but a lie detector isn't proof one way or the other and they aren't even admissable in court.

      From my understanding, lie detector tests are actually fairly accurate. Not accurate enough to be the silver bullet in a case and inadmissible in court, but enough to be useful as providing leads and warranting further investigation. I don’t know about lie detector tests from way back then, but yeah.

      Yeah, the press did really muck up this one, or maybe it was corruption, and the press just exacerbated that. That being said, he did eventually stop killing; I was even thinking maybe he was practicing his surgical skills on already-dead or unconscious vagrants? I mean, they never even had cause of death, really. I think they said ``decapitation was cause of death?'' Like the person was unconscious, then, because there weren't signs of struggles. So maybe they were passed out from drink. Or maybe he did drug them. Because his office was next to the undertaker who processed vagrants' corpses, and one of the body parts from the lake had been embalmed.

    I am so done with people discarding theories because "someone would have noticed something weird going on" people don't notice much of anything and if they do it'd be luck or coincidence, if someone is even slightly sneaky about what they are doing no one is gonna bat an eye. There are so many examples of this, people have had neighbours burn bodies in the backyard and not even vaguely noticed or heard gunshots/screams and not called anyone.

      Man I feel bad for Ness. He was a genius. Sweeney seems to definitely be the killer but he was too powerful to be detained. Ness was unable to detain him and Sweeney commits two more murders in front of his house. Ness has no more options, he can't detain the killer but he has to somehow stop the murders. Because Sweeney wasn't just going to stop, I mean he was sending letters to taunt Ness so I'm sure he would kill more as well just to annoy Ness, so Ness finds who Sweeney is targeting and had to take drastic measures to save them from being killed, having them identified so that he would not be spending time with unidentified people, so many more witnesses can come forward now because he knows who has been killed and basically created a bait for Sweeney that he didn't take and just stopped. He shouldn't have his reputation tainted for this. He stopped the murders by doing this

      ​@@snackeater4990 I can't prove that Ness stopped the murders? So you'd rather believe that the murders were going on by the same killer when everyone was looking out for it and none was reported?
      And why does the end not justify the means? If Ness could do it the easy way and just get Sweeney detained, he would have. If it was that easy, he wouldn't even be called out on the case.
      There are corrupt cops, judges and government officials everywhere around him, like Sweeney's family members. These 'rules' that he has to follow are created by these very people to keep them out of reach of justice, make them invincible. Sweeney knew this, as long as doesn't get caught in the act, Ness can't even touch him, he is too powerful. Ness is in a lose lose situation, he can follow the rules and get nowhere like everyone else on the case and Sweeney will happily keep killing more and more, or he has to do something radical that catches Sweeney off guard, getting his hands dirty was the only way to stop the murders and maybe even catch Sweeney.
      He literally stopped the murders the only way he could, you got a better idea as to how he is supposed to stop Sweeney? Cause any form of confrontation towards Sweeney will lead to Ness just getting bombarded by people above him and Ness will just lose his job and Sweeney will be treated like a hero, while he still kills, but now noone is after him.
      And you are saying this as if this is the only rules he has broken. He only achieved his legendary status because of breaking rules to catch people no one else could. If the world was so easy that you can just follow the rules and get shit done, Ness wouldn't be a legend, the police could have done it themselves.

A witness (a vagrant but one witness nonetheless) reflects on a experience that happened in the neighbourhood of Sweeney's office. He was abusive and mentally ill and went to a mental institution when the crimes stopped. And failed Twice the polygraph test. That is a pretty good circumstancial case right here.

      The witness is so specific too when they already expected the suspects to be drugged and why it was so easy for him. Most serial killers let somebody go accidently after a few attempts.

    I really want to see an episode about the Girl Scout murders in Oklahoma 1977. Super creepy and sad. There’re a few theories that float around it. One being that while investigating the crime scene there would always be a dog that would come and watch them. And when they arrested a suspect, he claimed the real murderer was a shapeshifter, which is believed to be the dog at the crime scene.

      amfs23 I told my family FROM Oklahoma about it and they didn’t even know! It’s still considered unsolved. What’s funny, is that the director for the musical I’m in lived two miles away from the crime and was 10 when it happened. It occurred the day before she went camping for her birthday in those same woods. Absolutely crazy.

    10:03 Shane was definitely referencing Law Abiding Citizen when talking about the paralysis murder. In the movie they use the neurotoxin Tetrodotoxin which is found in pufferfish, porcupinefish, ocean sunfish, triggerfish, blue-ringed octopus, rough-skinned newts, and moon snails (and many more).
    If you're stung with the neurotoxin you can survive but you have to be put on a respirator because you will not be able to breathe on your own and they pump your stomach then give activated charcoal to bind the toxin. If you can make it 24h chances are you'll come out relatively unscathed.

    I can’t believe I’m gonna defend Ness on this, but from what we know about Sweeney (particularly that they got him pegged as the killer in secret before the two bodies wound up outside Ness’s window and the fact that Sweeney was related to a local politician), I don’t think it’s ridiculous that Ness actually did put all those vagrants in jail to protect them. Ness knew he had nothing on Sweeney that would be admissible in court, there was little chance of landing a conviction, and if he can burn the vagrants’ shacks and get them off the streets then Sweeney at the very least will have no more vulnerable people to target for his kill-spree.
