Documentary's Main Claim: One day, a call was made to the Cunningham's residence. Graham (13 years old at the time) answered the phone; the phone call was for him. After hanging up, he told his mom he was going to the corner store. His family never saw him since he left. At around 1 in the morning, they called the police. The police arrived to their house and they automatically said that i had to be more than 24 hours since the person left and then they can file the report. After waiting to report Graham missing, the parents demanded an investigator. It took that investigator to find the criminal. His name is Arthur Gary Bishop. Arthur not only robbed and had a fake identity to rob, but he also committed 4 more murders. Those murders all were young boys;the oldest being 13, youngest being 4. He first sexually pleasured himself and killed them, afraid they would go run off and tell their parents, and he'd go to jail. Arthur was sentenced to death after a month or so after the trails. |
3 Interesting Facts:
1) Arthur was asked if he'd rather be held in prison or die, and he replied casually saying he'd rather die.
2) He requested death penalty by lethal injection.
3) Arthur said that he was a bit disappointed that he was not sexually pleasured by one of his victims.

Personal Thoughts:
When watching the documentary, i was expecting the case to last up to at least a few more months. With him just casually admitting that he killed Graham was shocking, as well as explaining who else he killed and the process of all the murders in less than an hour. If i was one of his victims though, i would be very, very pleased with his death sentence. Honestly, that does sound bad, but knowing that he wan't very guilty of committing the crimes sounds worse. Arthur saw it coming and he was ready.

Next Steps:
If i were to fall into one of his traps, i would defend myself as much as possible. He was a dangerous man; he hit his first victim (the 4 year old boy) on the head with a hammer and drowned him after molesting the boy. If i were Arthur himself, i would not want to live like that anymore, I would turn myself in. Other than that, i would want to get away from people like him. They really do change the world by a lot in a negative way.
