I remember what a huge story his murders were, all of the news stories, police warnings, notifications at school, and all of that. I have to wonder if that was entirely a local thing, especially in light of the fact that I had never even heard of this guy in Oregon.

Before 24 hour news, I don't think many people outside of the impacted region really paid much attention. I also think we were all probably better off....
