15 Ways to Avoid Becoming the Victim in a True Crime Drama

1. Craigslist. Just don't
2. Tinder. Ditto
3. 100% of guys who boast about being the FBI, CIA, or Special Forces are lying. 
4. If they claim they're wealthy but they're still living with their parents, they are lying and you should be ashamed for being so gullible
5. If they tell you all the people they dated before you were crazy, consider that the common denominator is who they dated before they each went nutty
6. If they cheated with you, they'll cheat on you
7. If they start talking about life insurance on or before the honeymoon, BIG red flag.
8. If the love of your life is over-possessive, jealous, or controlling, you might as well leave a provision in your will  specifying who you want to play you in the podcast they're eventually going to make about your murder.  
9. Psychopaths enjoy church on Sunday too. 
10. By the time someone jokes about wanting to kill you, they're already planning how
11. No one ever looks up "how to hire a hit man" on the internet because they were simply curious 
12. When they ask you to accompany them on a weekend hunting trip, a hike up the side of a steep mountain, or a romantic midnight boat ride, just say no
13. Always. insist. on. meeting. your. ex. in. a. public. place.
14. Let the other wife/husband - the one they didn't tell you about - take them, with your blessing. Hell, throw in a wedding present just to be sure there are no hard feelings
15. Stop using "they seemed normal" as your baseline criteria for trusting people
