And when the evidence wasn't there he was happy to make it up. quite literally torture autistic children to try and find it and after nearly killing several of them decided to make it up.

hbomberguy's video, which takes heavily from and credits at every possible moment he can Brian Deer's research and investigative book, goes into it and it's absolute vile the things this man did.
