## Resource

A chilling murder unfolds as Connor Manners, posing as a teen on a dating app, lured Gary Nicol to his death with a knife and crossbow—then bragged to cops he’d “do another one.” Found with bloodstained clothes, an “assassin checklist,” and the murder weapon embedded in a wall, Manners admitted guilt, claimed prior killings, and even boasted he’d been planning more attacks. Despite mental health defenses, the court heard damning evidence, and he now faces life behind bars after pleading guilty. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
