Is it normal that i think they're lying?
In true crime murder cases, when the victims family and friends say "They were so funny and sweet and lit up every room they walked in" I always get the feeling that a lot of them are lying/exaggerating in order to make the victim look good. One reason for this, being that it's always the same ole "They lit up every room they walked in" and it's always "They had a good sense of humor" "They were sweet" "All they wanted to do is help people" etc. It's always the same thing. Not that there is anything wrong with it. It's understandable, considering I don't think most families and friends of murder victims would want the world seeing them in an negative light, or refusing to help search for the victim, unless the families/friends didn't care about the victim. But it's just a feeling I get.
