Haven't seen one of these posts on here, so why not?
1) if you going to get an insurance policy on your spouse, and then kill them, wait a little bit before killing them. Doing it the day the insurance kicks in will raise red flags
2) it's probably not a 13 year old on the other end of the computer
3) if a wife goes missing, the cops think it was the husband, even if he has an alibi
4) it's usually not the obvious person
5) if a person isn't interviewed, they are the killer
6) there are lots of concerned men who just want to drive hundreds of miles and just talk to 13 year olds and bring vodka and whipped cream bc that's what is normal
7)if the spouse didn't do it, they hired someone to do it
8) cops almost always get the wrong guy to start
9) talking to police without a lawyer isn't a great idea
10) according to the police, if you walk into a room and your spouse is dead, and you call 911, if you are emotional and upset, it means you are acting and over doing it bc you killed them. If you are not emotional, it means you killed them. If you talk without a lawyer it means you killed them and are trying to show you didn't by faking being cooperative. If you ask for a lawyer it obviously means you are hiding something and are guilty.

11. You should never get married. Your spouse will kill you.

12. You should never talk to anybody. They will kill you.

13. Cheating and love triangles lead to murder, so avoid those things at all costs.

14. Good looking people frequently get murdered.

15. The good looking murder victims always have a lot of loved ones who attest to how great they were.

16. You hardly ever see an episode of dateline where the victim was an average looking recluse with no friends or family.

17. If you area woman, when hiking with your husband, make sure he hikes and stands near the ledge.

18. Women tell their hairdressers EVERYTHING.

19. A lot of married people consider murder a better option than divorce.

20. It's funny to watch the look on the interviewer's face. You can always tell when they're thinking, "this person is full of it!"

Love them all and so true! I am never going hiking near a cliff with my spouse again!! I thought of another one

21. If your spouse wants you to drink green Gatorade or eat green jello.. it's antifreeze! They should advertise that not only will it keep your engine from freezing, but it's the number one way spouses kill each other.

How about:

22. If you are a lame new show loosely based on the Wizard of Oz, you'll get to usurp Dateline's spot! 

Hahaha all these are great. I don't agree with #4 though. It seems to me that it usually IS the obvious person. I have become super addicted to Dateline lately. I have set my DVR to record all of them on every channel. I come home from work to at least 8 recorded a day.

25. Poison is a woman's weapon.
26. Lawyer up immediately.
27. If you represent yourself at trial, you are a narcissist and are guilty.

28. Don’t walk alone at night. You will most likely be kidnapped and murdered.
