Wow... what an intriguing story this is turning out to be. This guy was a contestant on the Dating game and now is suspected to be a serial killer.

In the investigation they found a storage unit which contained a bunch of photos of various women, kids, and boys, who they think may have been victims of his.

The photos show that he obviously had photographic skills, so he might have been a photographer, maybe?

Anyways, here are his photos:

That's possible, I worked with a photographer who later became a serial killer. He used a Leica M3, very well I might add. He had more than a few screws loose when I knew him, apparently some more came loose in later years.

All truly great artists are insane, didn't you know that?

But then what does that make us for enjoying their work? ;)

This guy certainly was insane, I could write a book about some of the non lethal things he did when I knew him. He would take an exposed but undeveloped roll of film and hold it to his head and say he could feel the silver in the film and that there were great images on there. :lol: Here's a link to a page about his later "work".

Being Scottish I would have expected you to reach for a claymore, but then I remembered your title. :p
