Well, while minding my own business one day a few years ago, heading back to work from lunch, I saw about a zillion cop cars blocking off the street. They were walking a guy in hand-cuffs to a patrol car. It was "BTK", a local serial killer who had murdered 10 people over a period of somewhere around 30 years. He lived within 10 miles of me........since 1974. Where I work is 2 miles from where he lived and was arrested. I never knew the guy, but I had seen him many times.
It's not just there, and it's not just now.
