Why would it be a stretch? Again, you’re making a lot of assumptions. We don’t know a lot of how people lived then. Serial killers in modern society have committed brazen crimes in small communities and got away with it for long periods of time. It seems not very rigorous to discard alternative explanations. I’m not saying it’s likely or the probable thing, I just am not really convinced they were very rigorous about any other possibility other than the conclusion they set out to believe in the beginning.
- karaterobot 2y agoI agree they didn't give equal time to all possible explanations, but given that they can only speculate, I think they probably chose the most realistic explanation from among the likely possibilities, and they gave it enough throat-clearing up front that I wasn't confused about whether they were saying they'd proven it or not. I'm not saying they couldn't have done a better job of saying "hey, we're just guessing here, for funsies", but it didn't bother me.
