I´ve just discovered the American Discovery channel´s true crime series and what an eye-opener it has been. After watching three of them straight through I was scared to go into the kitchen in case my wife, daughter, neighbor, former girlfriend, bank manager or anyone I´ve ever been in contact with shot, axed, stabbed or beat me to death with a baseball bat. Virtually all the episodes are about murders the police have had real problems in solving and in most cases the murderer was the last person you expected, often a spouse or close relative. Happy families – you must be kidding!
After a week riveted to the screen I told my wife very loudly that I did not have a life insurance policy and asked her if she had taken any out on me. She looked a bit evasive and said “No”. I´m not sure I believe her because she has also started watching the series, generally on her own, and the reason behind many of these murders has been that the wife can get her greedy little fingers on a huge life insurance policy on her husband.
This is a public alert. Don´t say you haven´t been warned ISACers.
