Too often, we put excessive trust in someone we think we know very well. And sometimes when that person’s deep, dark secrets are revealed, we become so shocked that we think we are dreaming. I can only imagine what true crime author Ann Rule felt when she found out that she was working side by side with serial killer Ted Bundy. Perhaps that example is far too extreme, but you get the point.
Most people believe that such things will never happen to them. One feels immune from danger until he or she experiences it, after all. Countless times have victims said later that they had a “gut feeling” something was wrong with the person they were dating, married to, working with, etc., but dismissed them. Humans are creatures with good instinct, and it’s a shame we don’t follow it more often.
By searching up background records, you can take control by becoming more aware of the people around you. History often repeats itself, and proper preparation for the worst can save your life. So don’t wait…
