My Take
I won't dress this up. Gerald Stano was an American serial killer who took the lives of at least 23 young women, confessing to many more before his execution in 1998. I feel no fascination with the man himself, and I refuse to romanticize him the way true-crime culture often does. What I do believe is that records like this shouldn't be erased, because they force us to ask hard questions about how such violence forms and how we honor the victims. My take is simple: remember the names of those he harmed, not his. The dead deserve that far more than he deserves attention.
