Did this inspire the Watcher or is this different?

I really don't like the statement the woman made at 38:46. When speaking about a handwriting analyst coming to a different conclusion than her own, she says, "It's because that particular examiner has not done due diligence to arrive at the opinion that they should." In other words, she has already made her conclusion, and now she's looking for the evidence to support it, rather than letting the evidence speak for itself. That's not due diligence, that's confirmation bias. What should have been done at the time was to collect several of the grammatical errors and misspellings used by the letter writer, compose a paragraph that uses those errors and then quote it verbally to Paul Freshour, asking him to write it down. If he's the letter writer, and if he's writing from his own English language sensibilities, he would have made exactly the same mistakes. Pretty conclusive.

At the end of this I believe it is his ex …..a dog with a bone in my mind an innocent man paid a high price. Disgusting 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

If I was on the jury I wouldn't convict him.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I'm up to18:56 to me it seems more like what a woman would do. Let's watch more and find out.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🤔

I think it started off with someone very jealous of the lady have an affair because she was beautiful and obviously has no life or no business of our own to do all this

@jenniferpenley6678 April 9, 2025 - 3:49 pm

And this one don't make no sense at first it's like a gossiper I mean why do these people care about these other people's business it's like to get gossip started and then it gets dangerous and people start going to jail and dying I think it's somebody that's jealous vindictive and don't is jealous of that woman that was having an affair that started it I don't know about the gun and all that

Everything points to Paul's son. I speculate his handwriting was similar to pauls. He likely stole the gun like paul suspected. Maybe she had an affair with him when he was underage or something. Or he was just obsesed with her. This explains how it continued with oaul in prison. He didnt care about framing paul as he hated him. This explains maybe why some letters were sent from out of town as he moved out with karen. Peuls fingerprints on some letters? Well the son used some paper from around the house , and thats also why karen found some crumpled letters in the house. How is this not looked at?

@yomchadash April 9, 2025 - 3:49 pm

Karen is the original karen on steroids.

35:14 Correct me if I'm wrong, but Paul was playing a rapist, not a guard.

@abrambook8999 April 9, 2025 - 3:49 pm

I think the letter writer was Paul’s ex-wife. She probably would have been familiar enough with her husband’s writing to be able to imitate it fairly well.

@Joseph_joestar-qk7vm April 9, 2025 - 3:49 pm

The fact the son couldn’t visit him in jail, and that he killed himself, his mother set him up. Bet she did more sick sinister things to that boy

@HezarDastan-qu2xk April 9, 2025 - 3:49 pm

One angle they miss was did the sheriff had an affair with Karen Sue? If yes, then everything falls in place.

@gnadenhofluna3388 April 9, 2025 - 3:49 pm

Today there is the possibility of finding a DNA. Why isn’t this done yet.

Don't care about the writing expert, once she started talking about the numbers etc it got into the woo woo. As the frmr. FBI agent said the central question actually is: How did the letters continue if he was in solitary? Either there were two and he got help in prison which is hard to believe that he could get someone to post 100s of letters for him IMO. This also has logistical issues, handwriting would be different and it also leaves room for a snitch later on. Or Occam's razor: He wasn't the writer. Paul also does not fit the profile of a guilty person in how he acted during investigation, there is also the witness account of the El Camino to talk about too. There's at least enough reasonable doubt for Paul to not have been convicted of this IMO. I think the Sheriff's office was too eager to close the case, and sadly the jury agreed.

Penelope Featherington, what r u doing here?

@ArmenianKingdom April 9, 2025 - 3:49 pm

48 hours should get rid of this boring old women

@FondledByDiddy April 9, 2025 - 3:49 pm

18:45 that Snorlax aunt?

@CarrenJoan April 9, 2025 - 3:49 pm

What happened after his death. Soyle

@margcan April 9, 2025 - 3:49 pm

Well, that's sad that they don't do DN.A and forgot who really wrote the letters.That would approve it, you can't write letters why you're in prison.It's just not, you can't. They read everything before it goes out

@margcan April 9, 2025 - 3:49 pm

I know we're all thinking this as we watched the show.But what have been easy to d n a those letters

@PatriciaRobin-ec3ee April 9, 2025 - 3:49 pm

Circleville, really? Sounds like a Town in a Seuss children's book a very bizarre one at that. Unsolved mystery proving evil hides itself well sticks together.

@anthonytrujillo9596 April 9, 2025 - 3:49 pm

With all that evidence they have, won’t they attempt to collect DNA from the envelopes, stamps, the gun, etc…???

@redshed2020 April 9, 2025 - 3:49 pm

I always thought it was the ex wife.

@Jimbodini112 April 9, 2025 - 3:49 pm

Take away the violent threats in the letters…its “awful” to expose the awful things people are doing according to Erin Moriarity. 🙄

@i_am_kellz April 9, 2025 - 3:49 pm

Dearest gentle readers…

@countzacula0121 April 9, 2025 - 3:49 pm

I don’t think Paul Freshour had anything to do with the Letters or the trap.
This has,”Hell Hath No Fury Like a Woman Scorned written all of over it.”

@matthewsuleski6565 April 9, 2025 - 3:49 pm

It wasn't Paul. It was his wife at the time.

@kativilaga April 9, 2025 - 3:49 pm

Was there anymore letters after his death? They didn't mention that…

@paige_on_YT April 9, 2025 - 3:49 pm

Always been one of my favorite “mystery” cases Super bizarre
