While this is obviously a grim subject, its funny to me that the silly Hollywood trope of the villain leaving foolish clues to his crimes and there being suggestive journal entries in plain sight is actually a real thing.
If I was committing unforgivable crimes I would think I would be smart enough that I wouldn’t be sending birthday cards with “nudge nudge, wink wink” air quotes in them.
The real issue is these guys don’t even feel the need to really hide these things. It’s not so much little clues, as no one bothered to try to hold the horrible crimes they committed in the open accountable for years and years. Like the Weinstein stuff was an open secret for like a decade before anyone bothered to arrest him for it. Epstein was arrested for this previously and was basically let go without punishment (the guy who offered that get out of jail free plea deal became a cabinet member under Trump)

Your mistake is assuming these bastards are smart people.
Like so many criminals, they only think they are smart. Much smarter than those who might try to stop them. The reality is often far different.

They knew they would never face consequences for this. And trump still hasn’t yet, really.

Have you seen the police? They are smarter than those who might try to stop them.
Have you seen the police? I’ve met cops who failed 11th grade three times in a row and joined the force because they flunked the ASVAB.
A detective, I think, is who you’re referring to.
