It sounded like a new age of crime. We’ve all heard of jealousy being the motivation behind the murder, but this was a bit different.

Don’t forget his hidden condom box, a stack of porn magazines, and pillows hidden in a box that said “Christmas decorations.” The only really odd thing about his “cave?” - it was in the library of a local middle school.
