OT Mind Over Murder

Considering how Burt Searcey would stop recording the interrogations until he heard what he wanted to hear, then turn camera back on when they were ready to implicate someone...plus the psychologist meeting with them privately in their cell to reinforce the concept of "repressed memory."...plus no DNA from any of them at the crime scene...it seems unlikely any of them were ever involved. Sadly, Joseph White was probably the only one with an IQ above 75, and never confessed...so Searcey took advantage of the other 5 dimwits to convict him.
I always have to separate the Burt from this story and the Burt that I know. I was and still are good friends with his step son. He’s a good guy but dropped the ball on this case imho.
 
I’m from a small town
Know lots of people from other small towns
People from the Beatrice area are almost 3-1 complete weirdo white trash with sub 90 IQs
(In my experience)

Western Nebraskans seem the most normal & easy to get along with (at least those that move to the eastern part of the state)

Is Burt as full of himself in real life as he comes off in this documentary, because he comes across as a major douche.

I think he’s just really confident about this case because he’s had to rehash it so many times but who knows.

I just finished episode 2. My wife and I were sort of shocked by how many lowlifes apparently lived in Beatrice at the time, especially transients from other parts of the country. Anyway, the community theater part definitely is the worst part of the series
 
I watched three episodes tonight so still have more to go, but my take at this point is it is quite a coincidence that everyone but Kathy and Joe admitted to the same crime and in some cases requested the police to add more to the record. I was ready to go into this with a Making a Murder, Brenden Dacy type coerced admission, but the odds of that working while going after 6 people just is insane.

The whole theatre thing is pretty weird.
 
He plays in my golf league. If you ask him, the county messed it up
Wasn’t he working for the the county at the sheriff’s office? I’m sure he thinks he’s king shit with this series being as popular as it has become.
 
I really hope in the final episode it talks more into the amount of money they received from the county and how the tax payers had to pay it all off
 
Throw in the Rulo cult/murders, the Teena Brandon thing in Humboldt....there must be something in the water. Very fucked up.

There is a 4 state region of white trash that can be located by drawing a Rectangle on a map.

The area can be drawn by conducting the following process:

Start in Beatrice, and draw a straight line Southeast from Beatrice to Topeka, KS. Then turn the line to draw straight Northeast thru Atchison, KS and St. Joseph, MO all the way to Lamoni, IA. From there, you need to turn the line Northwest to Atlantic, IA. After reaching Atlantic, the line can then be turned back Southwest to Beatrice.

It includes the following shitholes:

Beatrice
Wymore
Topeka, KS- if you've ever seen the Brown vs Board of Education monument in East Topeka, you would question why that Black family wanted to attend school with those white kids. Because East Topeka is home to America's biggest collection of poor white trash. Those people will steal your wallet and help you look for it.
Holton, KS
Perry Lake in Kansas, which makes Lake of the Ozarks look like the French Rivera. (Only place I've ever seen fat people fvck in a marina.)
Atchison, KS - city just rejected a 1% sales tax increase to improve all their city streets, parks and bridges. Of The 10,000 residents in the town, only 900 people showed up to vote. So roughly 500 citizens decided the fate of their city streets. These dipshits are too stupid to realize an extra $1 per $100 spent on groceries will eliminate potholes.
Hiawatha, KS
Wathena, KS
Elwood, KS
St. Joseph, MO- Any city that's floods every year for 150 years probably shouldn't be a city.
ALL of NW Missouri- its possible that this little region, which includes towns like Savanah, Bethany, Maryville, Tarkio, Mound City, and Rock Port really is the problem. There is a town in this area called Oregon, MO. The towns founders were trekking on the Oregon Trail from Independence, MO back in the 1850s. They got lost and just decided to settle there, calling it Oregon.. nothing says our town was founded by morons more than that one.

And good God it only gets worse in Cockeye.

Shenandoah, Clarinda, and Atlantic. Those towns have kept the trailer park industry afloat for decades.

Nebraska City- Arbor Day is the shittiest holiday

And of course right smack dab in the middle:

The Capital- Falls City.


It's the 4- State Crooked Rectangle of White Trash.

This is awesome and very accurate. You should have a WT Blog.

I have not been to all of those places but did used to have to visit relatives in SW Cockeye and northern Missouri when I was a kid. My parents got us in and out of there quickly at the very least.

You can’t forget Blue Springs next to Wymore. I’m pretty sure it had the most drug busts per capita in the US at one point

3rd best golf course in gage county too. Years ago you used to be able to pay by the honor system.
 
Yes, I'm caught up on it. Interesting case. I moved from NE by the time it was revived in the courts so didn't follow it in real time. Sad story all around thus far.

That and holy shit there are some trashy folks in Beatrice. Are these just the town freaks or is this standard fare for that part of NE?

Grew up in Beatrice, and yes 80% of that town are exactly that. Carnival white trash freaks ..

And I need to start watching that series ..

Not shocked at all. Was told at one time that you could go to any house in Blue Springs and buy drugs.

I give props to a couple people over there. They are buying any lot that comes available and just tearing down the house to avoid druggies from moving in. Still an awful town
