    Reminds me of that case of the guy getting murdered in broad daylight, and every eyewitness saying they saw nothin’

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_McElroy

    Imagine being such a piece of work that several dozen people independently decide not to help with your murder investigation… and still managing to find a wife

    Of course that story is awful too, I should have guessed

      and still managing to find a wife

      Um… Well, he didn’t exactly “find a wife” in the way most people do.

      He met his last wife, Trena McCloud (1957–2012), when she was 12 years old and in eighth grade and he was 35. He raped McCloud repeatedly. McCloud’s parents initially opposed the relationship, but McElroy threatened them into agreement by burning down the house and shooting the family dog.

      “Relationship” is doing a LOT of heavy lifting there.
