  Edit: > Hans was autistic. I have now listened to the episode. I see a lot of judgement that becomes moot when you take his autism in consideration. It obviously doesn't absolve him from the crime, and it _seems_ to be pretty clear that he did it. It does provide possible alternative explanations for a lot of his actions, both pre and post crime. I'm also reminded of this post [0] a coworker shared recently that I think a lot of people would benefit from reading.

    His father (Ramon Reiser) used it as defense back when he was accused (but Nina's body was not yet found). It simply explains a lot of his (odd) reasoning and behavior. It does not absolve him from his behavior, nor does it acquit him from time in prison for his criminal deeds. Also, I'm on the spectrum, and recognize a lot of behavior. I have been accused by my neighbors of a crime. One I did not commit (I did not abuse my children, sexually or otherwise), but you know how that goes? Gossip. As for the podcast, I read the transcript (in less time than the podcast would take, as I skimmed through some parts). It had a lot of unnecessary content, and missed some details (such as the one I mentioned) but it was alright. It is a sad story.

      Agree on all counts. I'm sorry you had to go through an unfair accusation. I've been there and it sucks. > It simply explains a lot of his (odd) reasoning and behavior. It does not absolve him from his behavior, nor does it acquit him from time in prison for his criminal deeds. 100 times yes. That was what I was trying to convey, though mostly from the point-of-view that the police, public opinion and the podcaster have used his behaviour to amplify his guilt and the perception of him being a monster. I don't even see why anyone would need any more than the fact that he murdered his children's mother to condemn him. Everything else is irrelevant and not necessarily an indication that he was going to commit a crime, as the podcast suggests. I guess it wouldn't make for nearly as much a compelling and revolting story.
