The reason my True Crime cases go into such detail is because i take them seriously.
I see myself as an "Investigative journalist", although I don't like the term when referring to myself, it does very much explain what i do.
However I only ever use Information and Images that are already in the public domain.
I try my best at all times to be respectful and unbiased. With only good intentions.
If you are close to a Case/Crime that i cover and you want me to remove it from my youtube/Podcast. That being a close relative. Then feel free to contact me at [email protected] . However please be aware, I am not obligated to do so..
