Transcript

The thing is that I'm positive that are men walking about freely today who've committed murder and got away with it. Oh yes, and women do. They get away with murder. People who commit the perfect murder think they're pretty clever.

Well, of course they are. But murder, breathe, can't lie, they'll try the same thing again. This is where most of them are not so. Because of this thought, what we call them. Multiple murderers, habitual murderers, whatever you like.

Have a way of repeating that crime in exactly the same detail. You can't tell what goes on in their crazy minds, but probably they feel that through making a change would be risky. And one sip, just one sip means a loop, you are the electric chair of them.

Of course they are wrong, generally, fatally wrong. So you know later, someone is going to spot the fact that a number of murders have been committed to have a painless about it, and that is where the crime ceases to be perfect.

The pattern has been discovered and of course the next step is the discovery of the murderer himself. The Facebook history of George Joseph Smith is a perfect example. In July 1915 he was put on trial as a famous old Bailey for drowning his wife in bathtub.

Yes, you heard that. Why? Not just one of them. George Joseph Smith was a man of many marriages. He has the most amazing, if not the time. He'll probably never know just how many women he fooled with his smooth manners and loving words, and those eyes of it.

His technique for Lawrence is safe. He was proposed, married to a woman, he knew he had a bit of money for time. He'd be married, and this would manage to get told of his wife's money.
