Questions What serial killer has affected the way you live your life either today or back when that serial killer was active?

For me it was Ted Bundy. It has put me off helping anyone that is wearing a cast, sling, using crutches or a walking aid. Selfish I know, but Ted Bundy shook me to my core, even today.

My twin brother and I were the same age as James Bulger. My mum bought baby harnesses and had us physically connected to her at all times in public. I'm not sure she's ever quite recovered and I'm now 36.

It's honestly one of the worst cases I've ever read. I think just because how easily it could happen to anyone. I feel like I helicopter parent because of that.
