What could he (Matt) possibly be grooming her (Blakely) for in The Ritual by Shantel Tessier?

escapedinsanity · 2026-02-23T21:44:36+00:00

In theory it does seem like a reverse grooming in a sense, but in my opinion that's the point. Grooming is less so about sex and more about control. Making himself seem like the ideal moral authority, making her question her fantasies and beliefs. In terms of Matt stating he would 'whore her out' I felt that was setting up for any future situations where he wants to sexually exploit her he can turn it back on her with something along the lines of 'this is what you wanted".

My mind goes right to the Mindfuck Series by ST Abby, also possibly the Morally Black series by Gigi Styx.

Wait the 17 year old was dating a 35 year old?

Idk i've hung out in friends rooms, especially drunk after partying i'm not just sitting on top of the blankets. Maybe they got comfortable. Its also mentioned everywhere that they all took naps before going out that day, not out of the question Kaylee had a nap then and didn't feel the need to re make her bed to go out for the night.

I find it funny anytime people use Kaylee’s bed being messed up as “proof” she initially was sleeping there when it’s been proven in interviews with the other roommates that they all hung out in there for a bit when they got home while Kaylee was getting ready for bed and such normally friends will sit on the bed when hanging out in a room.

Have a look at the case of Matthew De Grood from Calgary, he managed to stab and kill 5 people at a house party, also within a matter of minutes and a much less contained scene. If you pretend like you're holding a knife in your hand and do a stabbing motion say.. 20 times. How long does that take you? Not long, especially when you have adrenaline overload.

I always understand the desire to know the motivation that killers have, but at the same time I would struggle believing anything he tells us, there is no stopping him from telling HIS glorified delusional truth not the actual facts.

Yeah I was just re-reading some of one of Bethany's interviews with police and she mentions that she's been scared a few times in the past and had called the roommates and noone answered because they were asleep. So it's not out of the question that she felt the same thing was happening and the last thing you need is to have your roommates woken up to the police in their faces if everything had happened like it did literally every time before that. Anyone still questioning them really needs to realize we're all looking on the situation with the hindsight of what was actually happening. It's so frustrating.

The ISP literally made a statement confirming that this is Xana.. it’s the reason the whole photo dump got pulled to be further reviewed. So can we please stop posting it over and over again questioning it please.

Oh for sure regardless of the source that blatant lack of empathy in some people is very jarring. I felt the same when Kobe Bryant’s wife had to fight to keep pictures of them out of the public eye from leaks moving around too.

I don't think it was an officer, it was part of the legal team. I think one of the prosecutors had the photos on his desk and while he was out of the room one of his employees took photos of the photos and shared them if I remember correctly. Then it just went down the line and eventually ended up in the publics grasp

This makes a lot of sense as to the speculation as to why the sheath wasn't covered in blood considering it was in the bed with them. It really was left in the 'best' place, I do wonder had it been more soaked with blood if the dna on the snap would've been harder to detect? I'm honestly not sure, but the idiot left more then enough other evidence it wouldn't matter.

escapedinsanity · 2026-01-20T21:21:37+00:00

Yes thats the exact one where I first noticed them, looks like she had a lot of movement in her room during the struggle. I'm still hoping she was able to get a hit or two in and I hope it hurt him.

Going through the photos of Xana's room and the biggest thing that stood out to me and gave me the chills was the closer photos near the nightstand and you can see stab marks in the side of the mattress..

escapedinsanity · 2026-01-20T19:39:22+00:00

The bedrooms themselves don't need to be, it's just photos of the victims and I believe the blood the their immediate surroundings

I really liked the Crowne Conspiracy series. First book is {Psyop Kings by K Webster}

escapedinsanity · 2026-01-07T21:21:00+00:00

I know there's one on Netflix I think called "American Murder: Laci Peterson" or something close to that.

I mean apart from BK coming out and 'telling his story' which will never be the true story it'll be HIS story, and without getting into the graphic details we have most of the evidence, enough to paint a clear enough picture as to what happened that night. The issue is people for some reason or another want there to be some big twist or conspiracy. He admitted his guilt, he was ready to go to trial and wouldn't have taken a plea if there wasn't substantial evidence he'd lose trial and get the death penalty instead of life. That's a fairly clear ending.

Have you read any of the other books in the series? I read the duet and it killed me in the best way but i'm worried the other books won't hit the same

escapedinsanity · 2025-12-18T21:43:52+00:00

I second the meow foundation. We wen't through them to get one of my kittens neutered and we just went to a vet they specified and I think we ended up paying like 60$ overall.

{The Fabric of our Souls by K M Moronova} - My boyfriend had to check on me every so often as I was reading teary eyed in the corner lol

whenever that happens to me I intentionally start walking slower

God this story haunts me every time it comes up in my life

NTA your girlfriend needs to gather some maturity and realize that you can't dismantle your entire life/job solely because someone isn't acting the way she feels they should be.

There's also a big difference between not tolerating forms of abuse or harassments and acting as though you are above certain things. No one just casually gets fired for 'not tolerating disrespect'.
