Did Patton Oswalt's wife contribute anything to the investigation, or was she mostly a true crime writer who gave him a better name?

Didn't she theorize that he was in law enforcement before that was accepted more broadly, or is that just post-mortem aggrandizement?

which given how much egregious lawbreaking cops get away with both then and now really raises some questions about what they might have known or suspected imo

the local DA announced out of the nowhere that they'd caught him via some ancestry DNA kit bullshit like 2 days after the police shot an unarmed black man and she was about to lose her job

they'd known for years who it was

there's a new murderer out there he is known only as the Small Dicked Killer
he could have a small dick. or he could kill those with a small dick. or kill ladies who have been small-dicked
or if theres a comma after small he could be a really short guy with a massive wang

back in the 70s they theorized that he was in law enforcement, mostly because they couldn't ever find any forensic evidence to hit him with - he seemed to be very aware of what investigators would be looking for, and how to defeat evidence collection

I still think Patty did it.

Never liked the thumb shaped rear end in a top hat.

Another goon had a story fro ma friend who used to work with Patton off and on and it was claimed that he was always throwing tantrums for minor stuff. Like sweeping en entire craft services table to the floor because filming was starting a little late.

Granted, it's like fourth hand info but I think other have said similar things about him

Yeah it's an interesting book, and the memoir-ish stuff about McNamara's life doesnt detract from it imo. I do think some of the unfinished parts did though, like one chapter was just the transcript of an interview she had with someone (victim or detective maybe?)

I like Patton but he does seem like the type to turn into a giant pissbaby on a dime.

I honestly think David Fincher was only interested in it for the first season, and then it became a chore for him. Too bad, it could've been great.

Have there been any official studies on serial killers and penis size? It seems like it would be a thing. Like hundreds of years of studying forensics and psychology and all along it was mostly they just had li’l peepees.

Phrenology is a valid science after all - they were just studying the wrong heads.

That really sucks. Dang. Was David Fincher unable to reach a new deal with Netflix or did he lose his passion for the project? Season 2 was loving excellent.

yeah :(

it just seems weird to abandon it, afaik it was well received and the selection of Rader as a framing device and some of the decisions they made in season 2 only really make sense in the context of a plan for a longer series

netflix is only interested in the first season to bring in new subscriptions, and sometimes I guess they are forced to make a second season and then they are allowed to cancel it.

Also, I hated the first episode of a documentary. I don't want to hear Patton Oswalt talk about his wife, I'm tired of hearing him talk in general.
