So in boy A's bedroom he had this closet and right at the back of this closet was a backpack that has since come to be known in this case as the murder kit.

so you can imagine what was inside.

There was a homemade Halloween mask in there.

There were shin pads, knee pads, and some gloves.

All of these items were seized and sent for forensic testing but,

you know, take a few days to get the results back.

They seized both of the boy's phones and they didn't really find anything at all on boy B's, but boy A's, God, was that a different story.

So they found that he had quite an interest in like dark, scary things, which like, well, look at me and you sat here talking about true crime.

Like obviously being into dark things and horror things is not an indicator that

You are a murderer.

And the police knew that, but it did kind of tell them a lot about Boy A's character because a lot of his search results were about a lot of deep, dark things like torture methods, like the 15 most gruesome torture methods in history, which I've watched those kind of videos before, not gonna lie, I'm very interested in that, but he was watching a lot of these.

He was also very into creepypastas and reading about those, especially Jeff the Killer.

Jeff the Killer was his favourite.

Little history lesson for you here.

Jeff the Killer is one of the most, like, notorious creepypastas.

It's like a classic.

Oh, and if you don't know what a creepypasta is, let me do even more explanation.

A creepypasta is basically like a fictional horror story on the internet.

It's like an urban legend, like a horror legend.

They're not real.
