@whatitwaslikepodcast: As a child, April Balascio noticed people around her would sometimes vanish. One time it was a labourer working for her dad, another time it was a young couple in town. Years later, as an adult, she began Googling cold cases from her childhood towns. In 2009, she came across a report on the "Sweetheart Murders" that matched her memories. Fearing the worst, she called the police. In the latest episode of What It Was Like, April shares the journey of realising (and accepting) that her father was a serial killer.

Wait- there are people in the comment section calling her a snitch because she solved a murder? Her father was a killer- she did the right thing.

"Snitching" is the favorite term of narcs and sociopaths. Everyone else calls it accountability lmao.

She didn't snitch. She told the truth and protected other people.

These are excellent examples to remember. Ppl need to stop saying things like “the wife helped”; “the family knew” etc. most serial killers have lives. They have marriages and kids and churches and professions etc. and no one knows!

I would be afraid to be near people who think she was wrong to alert the police.

People calling her a snitch forget real life isn’t a playground game. She saved people’s lives by speaking up. It was a courageous and heroic decision.

She stopped at serial killer… It doesn’t matter whether it’s your father or your brother or your cousin if someone killed someone it’s your responsibility to record it.

It really is scary to read that apparently people are more okay with someone taking MULTIPLE peoples’ lives rather than “snitching”. Like wth
