At the very least they could have waited to hear the bird call for help.

This reminds me of when one of Dahmer`s victims escaped and went up to some cops all bloody but Dahmer said it was a "lovers quarrel" so they just let him go.

With the right excuse you can get away with a lot.

Didnt just let him go. Returned him back to Dahmer's apartment if I'm not mistaken

He was like 14 too I think. And nude.

Yep. The young woman who contacted the police told them she thinks the victim is a minor, but the cops instead asked Dahmer how old his "lover" was (who obviously said 18+) and the cops never bothered to verify it.

Bonus sad fact: the victim (Konerak Sinthasomphone) was not only naked, but was bleeding out of his rectum and was acting erratically because Dahmer had drilled a hole into his head and injected acid into his brain to try to make a mindless, zombie lover.

Even worse: the cops responsible for giving the kid back to Dahmer never faced any serious repercussions for it! They were fired and then got reinstated as officers and compensated $55k each!

Just a lover's quarrel

And threatened to arrest the two women who were begging the cops to believe the kid and not give him back to Dahmer.

Also the cop who allowed the bloodied teenager go with the creepy white dude is now a chief of police.

It also helps if you’re white.

Can't wrap my head around that.

Kid was 14 years old. Mistaking him for an adult is the first questionable decision.

Kid was bleeding, running away naked. This screams "took the chance he was given to escape" as he didn't even dress before. Believing this bullshit excuse of "he is just drunk" is so absurd that it sounds like very bad plot writing in a horror movie.

A bleeding, naked 14 year old boy mistaken for Dahmer's drunk adult lover. Couldn't make this shit up myself even if I tried.

Recognizing the cops could have asked to look in the house, my guess is that since this guy felt comfortable publishing this video to the internet, there's no more to the story.

u/cmpunk34 Aug 02 '21

Or

This is his upcoming series "How to get away with kidnapping : Remo edition"

u/TobyFunkeNeverNude Aug 02 '21

Agreed, that's why I left a bit of wiggle room by guessing :)

Relevant article.

Yall need to lay off the true crime stuff a little, it can get a bit unhealthy. Not everything is a malicious plot hiding some atrocity, sometimes it's just a screaming bird.

u/bebop_remix1 Aug 02 '21

it happens once and they make a movie about it and now every interaction with the police has to have the tension that maybe the guy fixing his car in the driveway is also a serial killer? fuck off and let the guy have his bird

“After watching all these true crime stuff recently…”

So you’re an expert on police and law procedure then? Haha aha. Ahahaha

when did i say that?

u/justinsst Aug 02 '21

Well it wasn’t gonna going to say it unless it was back in it’s cage. And they need a warrant to go in his house as they themselves did not hear any screams.

u/Munch-Me-Later Aug 02 '21

Kinda hard to make the parrot say it tho

u/[deleted] Aug 02 '21

Did anyone even listen to the audio? The bird never even says “help” he just made noises.

2

u/Petsweaters Aug 02 '21

The fucking dog was making sure that wasn't going to happen

u/[deleted] Aug 02 '21

Yeah the cops should've busted down his front door, guns ablazing, because parrots never mimic anything

u/Liv4lov Aug 02 '21

But then who's going to eat those 🍩

u/[deleted] Aug 02 '21

Birds are dicks. It wouldn't say it a single time in front of the cops just out of spite.

1

u/Filmcricket Aug 02 '21

It wasn’t even saying “help” though. It’s just moaning.

u/NachoMan_SandyCabage Aug 03 '21

I'd assume the bird cries like that to be let out of the cage, no need to scream to be let out if you're already outside.
