Murderer Among Us

 Some crimes disappear from the news cycle fast. Others just refuse to go away. The Idaho college murders became one of those cases that people across America kept talking about long after the headlines faded. It wasn’t just the violence - it was how random and unsettling everything felt.

  It started like any other online connection - a young person looking for friendship, maybe love. It ended with one of the most horrifying murder cases New York has seen in years.
