#Murdered: True Stories of Murder in the Digital Age explores the chilling intersection of technology and violence through 20 gripping true crime cases where online interactions led to murder. From the early days of MySpace to the modern era of Grindr, Tinder, and Instagram, this book uncovers the dark side of digital connection, where trust can be exploited with deadly consequences. Each chapter delves into a different case, detailing how victims—ranging from teenagers to middle-aged adults—were lured to their deaths through social media platforms, dating apps, or online forums. Highlighted cases include the Craigslist killings by Richard Beasley, the grooming and murder of Breck Bednar via a gaming site, and the Grindr-targeted murders by Jerauntey Bernard Pleasant in 2023. Through meticulous research and vivid storytelling, the book examines the perpetrators’ methods, the victims’ lives, and the investigations that followed, while addressing broader themes of online safety, the vulnerability of marginalized communities, and the societal impact of living in a hyper-connected world. A sobering reminder of the risks behind the screen, #Murdered calls for greater awareness and accountability in the digital age.

Stick to the facts!!!

Follows the same sad trend of many armchair criminologists turned writers who become an echo chamber for leftist talking points, instead of presenting objective facts. You can cite those points, but if you do give the counterpoint, instead of presenting it as undeniable fact. Examples include claims that there was a delay in catching certain SKs because their victims were from”marginalized” groups. Any person who’s worked in law enforcement knows this is complete and utter BS. Similarly, SKs who are from a minority group are not more sympathetic due to their background. Minority SKs are just as evil as white SKs.
