      Yes, it's called the intuition. People often don't listen to it & pay a big price afterward.
      In fact, parents often do everything in their power to stop their children from listening to it by controlling them.
      Gavin Debeck once said in an interview that most women's intuition goes off as they step into an elevator with someone & they ignore it & end up getting raped. sigh

    One of the saddest parts is how Tom ALMOST saved himself and his wife by listening to his gut instinct. Which is why Skylars wife should have gotten the death penalty as well. She planned the whole thing, yet she's still sitting in a warm environment, getting fed three meals a day. She will eventually adjust to her life in prison and even still have moments of happiness. While her victims are chained and rotting in the deep, dark, cold depths of the ocean. Where is the justice in that?

      Is what came exactly to my mind. Many racist today still do things like that. Evil still exist today. This is why one united race, not colour must fight evil together. Cos someone racist that can do that out of hate will surely be pathological psychopath and do it to someone white under a different excuse. Is why someone deeply racist can’t be trusted by any race cos there’s something warped mentally to do evil just cos colour is different. Well that warped mind will impact still on others even if white just in different ways!

    When the girl said all of a sudden she couldnt go because of the baby , i would have been even more suspicious . I think everyone that goes through a true crime interest phase learns to have strong spidey senses. Really bad people put off a strange vibe even when they are being ( acting ) nice . Look for low facial affect or mask drops when they arent paying attention to you. A mask drop is when they can go from smilling and happy face to almost dead monster face in a split second . Also, if they are with other people like them, they will often look at eachother. Kinda like they know something you dont. Also, the worst is what happened...being alone without quick access to the police . Isolated vicims are the psychopaths easiest victim.
    It sucks that the world has these monsters . Truly depressing yet these things are very informative in helping you defend yourself.

      On March 13, 2008, Deleon partially severed her penis with a razor blade while being held in jail. After receiving medical attention, she was returned to jail the following day. In an interview with ABC's 20/20, Deleon indicated that she attempted to cut off her penis because she, assigned male at birth, wanted to be a woman. Defense lawyers claimed that Deleon's need for money to finance sex reassignment surgery was the motivation for the Hawks' murders. In 2019, Deleon’s gender was legally changed to female and Deleon’s name is now Skylar Preciosa Deleon.

      Right. And if you’re planning a deal like this, hire an armed protection service to be with you until the funds have been safely deposited.

      I don't think following your gut is advice for everyone. To my dismay, I have often thought the best of people and don't usually pick up on a person with bad intent. Maybe, I just want it to be the case, or whatever; regardless I am often too trusting and have lost money and been hurt by people when , maybe, I should have seen red flags or just didn't want to believe them.

      I'm just saying, people should know themselves and acknowledge their own faults before trusting their own gut. That's one reason to have good true friends.

      The constitution allows us the right to protect ourselves from these sick individuals. Protect your 2A rights. If Tom or his wife had CCW they would likely be alive today. Truth!

    The judge should have given Alonso life without parole as well. Then when he'd ask about his reduced sentence the judge could have said not being put to death is the reduction

      After Skylar Killed Tom And Jackie, He Had A Sex Change In Prison And Attempted To Cut Off His Own Penis
      On March 13, 2008, Deleon partially severed her penis with a razor blade while being held in jail. After receiving medical attention, she was returned to jail the following day. In an interview with ABC's 20/20, Deleon indicated that she attempted to cut off her penis because she, assigned male at birth, wanted to be a woman. Defense lawyers claimed that Deleon's need for money to finance sex reassignment surgery was the motivation for the Hawks' murders. In 2019, Deleon’s gender was legally changed to female and Deleon’s name is now Skylar Preciosa Deleon.

      I dont understand why police make deals with criminals. I dont care if you have to lie to the criminal to get them to confess...They didnt give their victim a chance. Why should they get a chance?

    I've seen this story on IDTV, and it's the most horrifying story.
    I often thought about that poor woman and that horror that was done to her, and I could not imagine what it was like to be pulled over and rush down under water by a chain and anchor.
    It's hard to think about

    I would have thought that the police would immediately be highly suspicious that the owners would have agreed to taking payment in cash, and walked out the door with it. That is obviously a bogus story.

    Skylar acting like a giddy child over the drowning of these two is definitely one of the most chilling in-moment parts of the story--he's so divested from the idea he's doing anything in one of the most extreme horrors of behavior
