FBI agent analyzes 15-year-old killer’s confession | Forensic Files

did you ever look up on the computer and do research on Psychopaths yeah why did you do that I looked up
sociopath and psychopath CU I always found it fascinating and The more I've age the more I can relate CU I don't
feel selfy for other people at all I don't feel empathy for them and whether I like that or not it's the way
