Fishface | 18801 comments I just started a shelf called "Look What I Did Cases" because it dawned on me that there have been several murders I know of that involved the killer showing the evidence of the crime to friends or family and expecting them to keep the secret. I have Ricky Kasso on there, and it made me look again for a book about Marcy Conrad -- to my astonishment, this time I actually found one on her, Devil House, and I eagerly added that. Luka Magnotta got added too because he filmed himself killing kittens and posted those on the freaking Internet.

But I am positive there are others that are not coming to me. Can anyone name some cases like this?

They don't need to be murders, for that matter!

I am pretty sure if you google, people posting about crimes on Facebook, you will get a lot of responses.

Ah, but how many of those cases will have books about them Bel? I am seeking books to add to our library!

I realize that, my point was there has to be more books. The Moors Murders, wasn't that where Ian Brady tried to get his brother-in-law to participate? And there was the serial killer who was picked up for counterfeiting, when they searched his home found polaroids and tape recordings of much more serious crimes?

I can think of others but can't remember their names right now.

I didn't even think of poor David Smith. Adding him now. And I don't even have a FB account...

Harvey Glatman, if I remember correctly when they picked him up for attempted kidnapping, during the questioning he said something like, "Is this about the photos in my toolbox?"

However I can't find verification of this statement in any of the online articles. Just that he quickly confessed to the murders.

I read this today and it is a horrifying but compelling book. I highly recommend it.

Did a criminal show off evidence of the crime and then ask the witnesses to keep it secret? Did they post video of the crime online? Anything like that? I can't tell from the book description...

Wasn't Harv caught in the act? That's a little obvious too...

He was caught in the act of kidnapping, and after being arrested started talking about the murders. Hmm doesn't really fit. I read about him in one of Roy Hazelwood's books. But I don't remember which one.
