Why Are You Here?

I am here because I have been terrified of the world since I first read of Etan Patz. I found this site when following the Casey Anthony monstermom case. I have been fighting the good fight with my precious daughter as she struggled with a heroin addiction for the last 6 years. Her high school math teacher introduced herion to the student body and ended up spending 10 years in jail. My baby lost her battle 2 weeks ago to her addiction. I am a mother who will never stop crying for what could have been and what I lost. She was my world and now she is gone forever. Forever is a long fuckin time. My baby was beautiful and not the monster face we kids from the 70's remember. I read here becuase I can't believe that once you see that beautiful face at birth you could do nothing else but love and protect that baby you brought into the world. Whether planned or not. I can't believe what mankind is willing and or able to inflict upon each. Gotta go as tears are running down my face and I am trying to work. Hadn't been on since this happened and I was hoping the news would be slow.
 
I followed the Brianna case to DD and have been lurking ever since. Love the writing and comments in the forums oh and I have 1 daughter who is 21 years old!

Much love to you. My heart broke reading this. <3<3<3
 
I have been a true crime fanatic since the Adam Walsh case broke when I was 10 years old and followed the news updates like a fiend. I have since read everything I can get my hands on about real criminal cases, and have lurked on DD for about five years or so.
 
I posted something on reddit the other day losely mentioning this site, the exact quote was "found (some news story) on a true crime site I follow". and like 3 people asked "why do you follow a crime site". I never really thought it was weird or anything, just something that interests me.
 
I stumbled onto DD and found a place that offered free therapy. The ability to vent my rage against those who hurt the innocent helps me deal with my past. It helps me let go of the anger.
 
Found the site on accident while reading lots of old crimes (and looking up the pictures). I like reading the comments from people bashing the perps- it is so entertaining! :P

My creepy 'obsession' for morbidity started when I found out about some 'chronic' diseases I have. I don't know..I guess staring at death in a way makes it easier coping with when mine will be.

I ALSO think that being a mother brought out my interest in True Crime (since nothing is scarier than the thought of losing a child IMO).
I don't know, maybe I'm just weird :P

You know whats weird, when I was pregnant for the first time, 19 years ago, I was at the library looking for something to read and the book about, OMG I cant remember the name, the little girl that was killed by her dad, I think her name was Lisa, the scumbag lawyer dad, the abused wife (I know someone will think of it). Anywho, read that book and I think it must have been a maternal thing, I started just reading true crime, serial killers, cults, etc. Over the past years I have evolved around, I was on a huge serial killer kick for a while, then I moved onto forensic pathology and archaeology, then I was on a satanic panic kick, moved onto cults and religious movements (I was on a serious almost 3 year kick reading/following anything I could find on polygamous groups). Besides hanging out over here, I have moved onto learning as much as I can about personality/mental disorders. I think it has come full circle, now I am trying to figure out the mind of criminals and such.

OMG! I was just thinking about that guy today! Joel Steinberg, right?
 
I have a very strong interest in the darker side of things. I write genre fiction and I am constantly looking for examples of certain kinds of evil, in order to prove it exists: this gives my stories an added element of realism as I don't like my stuff to be too fantastical. I used to be very keen on reading about serial killers but have found that, recently, the people pursuing such evil are of more interest to me. So, I am interested in the evil but I am interested in the chase even more. Because of this, unsolved crimes resonate very strongly with me. The thought of these being unsolved is almost unbearable, almost brings out compulsions as I search frantically for as much information as possible.

I guess when you break it down, I am just a weirdo who likes a good mystery, emotional stories and darkness blacker than black.
 
I found this site years ago doing research on how much time pedos ususlly get. My little cousin was molested by his father when he was 2. The kids told my aunt, their grandma, that this shit stain was locking the 4yo sister in the closet and "peeing" in his son's mouth whenever mom wasn't watching. The county prosecutor said he wouldn't be able to get a conviction with just the word of a 2yo and a 4yo and the best he could do was a sorry ass plea deal where dad gave up his parental rights and do 2 years without having to register as a sex offender. Asshole got out in 8 months. I just didnt believe the prosecutor couldnt do better than that and was searching similar cases.
 
I do have kids, but they have absolutely nothing to do with my insatiable thirst for the sick and twisted that is dd. I was introduced to dd by my leo husband and as soon as I saw that the members all have the same opinion about justice as I do, I knew I had to stay!
 
What brought me here in Nov 09 was a google search for news about Shaniya Davis... the day all that went down i was working at an auto repair shop on Murchison Rd not far from Sleepy Hollow trailer park... that day was like any other day and at lunchtime i went down to Hardees and as i passed SHTP i saw it crawling with cops...that place is always crawling with cops anyway cuz it is an area notorious for drug busts so i thought nothing of it...then i got back to work, flipped on the news and was shocked to find out a lil girl had been kidnapped... so i was following the news and trying to find more at google...then i clicked a link and was led here... and ive been here ever since

I have always been interested in true crime and have read a few books... my first true crime book, shit i cant remember the name of the book but it was about Tim Hennis and the murder of a woman and 2 of her small kids...it happened here just off Ft Bragg in the 80s...i was 15 when i read the book

I love the Demon, its the first forum ive ever been on and my one stop shop for info, random stuff, and ive made some awesome friends here... so yall are stuck with me for the long haul *evil grin*
 
Why am I here...Hmmm...

Well, according to two of my favorite eggheads, Neil de Grasse Tyson and Michio Kaku, I am a random glob of electromagnetic stardust based on the three major building blocks contained in all things, "as above, so below," so my existence is a pretty random occurence.

According to Chuck Darwin, I am a once gooey, microscopic, lonely, little amoeba who learned to survive by adapting to my environment, and, by process of Natural Selection, I ate a bunch of other, weaker, gooey, little amoebas to sustain my own life and ensure the survival of my species.

According to Moses, "In the beginning...", I was created as a descendant of a male and female human created by God, and I am here to choose to follow certain rules, or not, and try to get to heaven by my faith and good works/deeds.

According to more than 267 other known "Genesis" stories around the world, I am here to worship everything from the Great Fish, who vomited up the Sun, Moon and Planets, including ours, to a God named Cronus, who kept eating his children, then vomiting them back up, to a Pantheon of Gods who created my ancestors from the Four Elements, and everything else in between.

So, after much soul-searching, and a great deal of analytical thought, I guess I'm here because I enjoy D'D, where I am free to read interesting stories, "meet" interesting people, post my POV (and crazy shit like this), and people let me get away with it. Most of the time, lol. :p
 
I'm here because... I don't remember what I did on the internet before DD. I scanned Dastardly Dads blogspot, Bad Breeders, and justice4caylee but it's not DD, that's for sure.
 
i became fascinated with serial killers when Jeffrey Dahmer was in the news so i began reading alot of the true crime novels...i was interested in what made these guys do what they do because im like alot of them.....so that became all true crime because im always interested in the WHY? and opposed to anything else
 
I found this site through another forum I frequent. One of the mod's there started a thread recommending other forums, and DD was on the list.

I started out just reading the FP and then worked my way into the forum.
Then I got the pop up saying I couldn't read anymore until I joined, so I did.

Not trying to be a kiss ass, but I find Morbid's writing on the FP to be very witty. And that's the main reason I am here.

Also, the shout box is a hoot. I don't participate much, but I'm still kind of new.
 
To be honest, I'm just here because I love shit that's fucked. I'm fucked, this site is fucked, some of the people here are fucked. This is a place I can be freely fucked. Enough to reel me in.
