A LESSON FROM THE CASES

EPISODE 1: IRA EINHORN:  WHEN YOUR NARCISSIST EX  SAYS HE HAS SOME THINGS OF YOURS YOU  NEED TO COME BACK AND GET... DO NOT GO! MOVE ON AND BUY NEW THINGS. OBJECTS ARE REPLACEABLE, YOUR LIFE IS NOT! (IF YOU HAVE TO GET YOUR THINGS, DO NOT GO ALONE!)

EPISODE 4: KIM EDWARDS/LUCAS MARKHAM: WHEN DEALING WITH TEENAGE CHILDREN, IF THE SIGNS ARE THERE THAT ISSUE COULD SNOWBALL FROM LYING AND REBELLION TO SUICIDE AND MURDER, DO NOT STOP GETTING THEM HELP! 

EPISODE 5-7: HINTERKAIFECK: WHEN SOMEONE SAYS THEY ARE SCARED OF THE GHOSTS IN THE ATTIC OF YOUR HOME, WHEN YOU HAVE WEIRD THINGS HAPPENING THAT YOU CANNOT EXPLAIN, WHEN YOUR FAMILY SAYS THEY ARE SCARED OF THE MAN WITH THE MUSTACHE WATCHING YOU FROM THE FOREST... HEED THE WARNINGS AND DO WHAT YOU CAN TO PROTECT YOURSELF AND FAMILY FROM EVIL. (WHEN SOMEONE OFFERS YOU A GUN FOR PROTECTION, TAKE IT.)

EPISODE 8: WHEN YOU GO MISSING MORE THAN ONCE, TAKE THE APPROPRIATE MEASURES TO ENSURE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. BECAUSE ONE DAY, YOU MAY NOT COME BACK.

EPISODE 9-10: SAFETY SHOULD BE EVERYONE'S NUMBER ONE CONCERN, DESPITE YOUR GENDER, EVERYONE IS AT RISK OF MEETING A PERSON WITH ILL INTENTIONS. IF YOU ARE MEETING SOMEONE FOR THE FIRST TIME, DO ALL THAT YOU CAN TO FOLLOW SAFETY PROCEDURES. ALWAYS STAY VIGILANT AND LOOK FOR SUSPICIOUS BEHAVIOR. IF YOU FEEL THE CIRCUMSTANCES ARE UNSAFE OR GETTING OUT OF CONTROL, LEAVE. ALSO, MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT BEVERAGES YOU ARE CONSUMING, AND DO NOT GO BEYOND YOUR LIMIT TO STAY SAFE AND AWARE. 

EPISODE 11: LISTEN TO YOUR GUT AND THOSE AROUND YOU. IF YOU FEEL NOT RIGHT ABOUT RELATIONSHIP OR SOMEONE IS TELLING YOU THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT IT, TAKE IT INTO CONSIDERATION.  ALSO, BE CAREFUL WHO YOU MAKE THE BENEFICIARY OF YOUR LIFE INSURANCE... IN THIS CASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE CAREFUL ABOUT WHOEVER THINKS THEY ARE THE BENEFICIARY.

EPISODE 12-13: REMIND YOUR KIDS THE DANGERS OF SOCIETY. DO NOT TALK TO STRANGERS SHOULD BE A PHRASE WE SAY OVER AND OVER AGAIN TO OUR CHILDREN. EVEN THEN, TAKE PRECAUTIONS. MAKE SURE YOUR KIDS KNOW WHAT TO DO IF SOMEONE APPROACHES THEM WHEN YOU ARE NOT AROUND. BE CAREFUL WHAT ITEMS YOU HAVE PERSONALIZED FOR YOUR CHILD. GENERATE CODE WORDS WITH YOUR CHILD AND FAMILY MEMBERS SO THAT WHEN SOMEONE SAYS THE ARE TO PICK YOUR CHILD UP, IF THE PERSON DOES NOT KNOW THE CODE WORD, THE CHILD KNOWS THIS IS NOT OKAY. TEACH YOUR CHILD TO SCREAM, HIT AND MAKE A SCENE IF THEY ARE BEING TAKEN. 

***SPECIAL MESSAGE FOR OTHERS: IF YOU SEE OR HEAR SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING. IF SOMEONE TELLS YOU THEY ARE WANTING TO "COMMIT THE PERFECT CRIME" OR THEY ARE PRACTICING TYING PEOPLE UP WITH ZIP TIES, MAYBE TELL SOMEONE SO THIS PERSON CAN GET SOME HELP. 

EPISODE 14-16: GET AUTOPSY'S! IF THERE IS ANY QUESTION... GET THE ANSWERS.

EPISODE 17: BE CAREFUL WHO YOU ARE DEALING WITH. THIS EPISODE, I BLAME THE POLICE FOR WHAT HAPPENED AS WELL AS THE MURDERER. THE VICTIMS DID EVERYTHING RIGHT. HOW DO YOU STAY ALIVE WHEN THE POLICE DO NOT TELL YOU THE RISK?
