This is the fall line.

For most true crime lovers, theories are the most interesting aspect of any mystery.

We love them. We construct and reconstruct information.

We pour over court documents, news reports, minute details.

They might have been sidetracked by an acquaintance or even a cute teenage boy or two.

But nothing about their activities screams planned.

So enough with the running away.

Henry Lewis Wallace largely killed in North Carolina, and he prayed all those he knew, mostly as co-workers.

Boydder's long haul trips made it convenient for him to target his victims of choice, white, transient sex workers.

Ronaldo Rivera targeted blonde white females who were all adults.
