A Spider's Web: A Killer Who Almost Got Away

Published: Dec. 25, 2020, 8 a.m.

We like to think we can trust ourselves\u2014that our read on a situation, whatever that situation may be, is correct. We need to believe we\u2019ve got this, we\u2019re seeing the world as it really is, nobody\u2019s gonna get the drop on us. But sometimes, we find ourselves through the looking glass. Sometimes, just when we think we\u2019ve got a handle on a situation, everything shifts like the changing images of a hologram, and our whole world rocks on its foundations. Sometimes we have to face the fact that nothing is what it looks like. Sometimes we have to admit we were wrong\u2014and if we don\u2019t right that wrong, it will spell disaster for everyone around us. One of the people in this story found that out the hard way.
