Lawrence Bittaker and Roy Norris raped, tortured, and murdered at least five teenage girls. About a month ago I first heard of them. They were referenced in the Netflix series Mindhunter. I started reading and listening, and couldn't keep from getting really emotional. This case / these murders bothered me since I first learned of it, and I've read and heard a lot of terrible things, and most of them don't affect me like this—I can't think of another time such things led me to tears. It's probably because I imagine what it would've been like if one of my sisters, girlfriend, or any other women I love in my life were the victims.

A lot of what I read is what I wrote based on the sources—when I talk about their first offenses, it's basically taken directly from the First offenses section of the Wikipedia article listed below. Same can be said of their biographies.

Most of the rest of what I say is based on what I wrote regarding what I read from the sources below.
