I went through a period of hard drinking where I could put down 1/2 to 2/3 of that on a bad day but I don't know how these people stay functional.

Yeah, it's not exactly the biggest takeaway from it but daaaamn. How did he even stay alive for that long to have so many victims?
That's also what makes it extra creepy for me. Like, he wanted/forced these women to indulge in what he did regurlarly.

I mean... I can put away 1.5L of liquor over a day without getting blackout drunk provided its over an entire 16 hour period. That's without any sort of tolerance, too.

As an American my primitive brain doesn't fully understand what a "liter" is, but a 1.5L engine is tiny therefore I can safely conclude it is also a tiny amount of alcohol.

Yes, and somehow those are even smaller than a 1.5L engine. This is illustrating exactly why the metric system doesn't work.

A handle is 1.75 litres. A standard sized vodka bottle is .75L.

Joking aside, one of my buddy's had a real bad drinking problem and he would go through a bottle of whiskey and a case of beer a day. But on the weekends, well that's when he'd really cut loose.

But seriously, you used past tense so I hope that means he eventually got better. I don’t know how a person would even have TIME to drink that much. Or the energy - two glasses of whisky and it’s pretty much sleepy-town for me.

I don't think I have seen someone drink a bottle of whiskey and a case but I definitely frequently watch people kill a bottle and a six pack.

I remember reading about Tinning on Crime Library, which was tremendous back in the day as the articles were researched and professionally written. A bit of it is still available on Internet Archive and it has cases that aren't mentioned as often, such as Belle Gunness.

Most of HBO's old Autopsy series is available because it's like an ancient series.

The one thing about it that's sort of handy is it really just covers stuff in as little as 1 minute to like 7 minutes per case, it's not trying to fluff out each case into a full episode. Each episode is really just the "here's what the body" told us parts.

WARNING: there are some gruesome photos in there, the kind they used to show on true crime TV but tend not to any more.

I assume most - if not all - people in here have heard about the woman who had her baby taken by a dingo in Australia. Lindy Chamberlain was her name. While this isn't much of an update on the incident it provides a pretty good snapshot of just how police and doctors treated the whole thing.

Oh yeah they accused the family of sacrificing babies to Satan just because they were Seventh-Day Adventists. This is not in any way an exaggeration, it's the motive the police came up with since there wasn't an actual motive because they were actually a totally normal family with a somewhat unusual and insular religion who very much loved their daughter.

The dingos had been getting bolder and bolder leading up to that fatal attack, with park rangers noticing and trying to get permission to put the fear of humans back into the dingos by shooting at them if they got too close to high-population areas of the park. It wasn't taken seriously by the people who could have given permission, because everyone knows dingos don't attack humans! Visitors to the park were not informed of the increased aggression and boldness, because they didn't want to scare people away, and thus Lindy Chamberlain thought it was safe to leave Azaria in the tent with the zip open for less than 5 minutes while she heated up some beans for her hungry son. If she'd had any idea dingos could be a danger, I fully believe she would have zipped up the tent or not even camped there in the first place, but since the park hadn't warned of the previous attacks...

It just makes me mad on the level of like, poor wildlife management, because the dingos should never have been in a position to sneak in and grab a baby to begin with. Obviously wildlife parks are going to have wildlife. That's good, that's normal, that's fine. But you have to be sure the wildlife aren't getting too acclimatized to humans. On the same merit, visitors need to know what steps they should take to minimize danger. It'd be like if a park tried to cover up the fact that bears are dangerous and you need to hang your food in trees to avoid baiting bears to your campsite, or something.

What's super sad and weird is there was never even a reason to really doubt it. Feral dogs still kill people, and an infant would make that all the easier basically.

Gruesome, although as a note, Forensic Files episode "Charred Remains" is also about a body burned in a dumpster (with photos). For all that people talk about how extreme TV is now, I don't think you could produce some of those now.

I think coyote would be the closest US analogy to a dingo. They're known for avoiding humans and not being a threat to most full sized adults, but they've been getting more aggressive recently, and have been attacking kids.

I'd probably go camping in an area with coyotes. I would definitely not go camping in an area with wolves.

You kind of have to be okay with camping in coyote areas if you live in much of the US. I’ve seen them walking down the street in my parents’ neighborhood in Southern California and it’s by no means a rural area.
