Robert Bennett Jr. was a smart guy from a wealthy family he was also a violent sadist who liked to inflict pain on unwitting strangers.  Though this is not a murder case it illustrates what happens when you mix a homophobic cultural attitude filtered down to law enforcement mixes with the influence of a predator from a wealthy family who'd go to any length to protect their son.

A little bit about Panic.

I created this true-crime channel to focus on the life and death of queer folk. 

I called the channel Panic because, for much more of the recorded history of LGBTQ+ people, there’s always been a panic. 

The primary focus of the channel is an investigation of homophobia through hate crimes murders and intimate partner violence which is underreported in the queer community. 

Panic is both a podcast and a YouTube channel.
