Dominic’s business is hosting “Abel Haggerty Murder Tours,” taking people to sites associated with Haggerty’s crimes. What’s your opinion of this profession? Have you heard of anything like it in real life? Would you go on such a tour?

I might find a tour such as this to be too creepy to want to participate,

I heard of tours like this. I personally would not want to o on one. They seem like they are sensationalizing the murder

I feel tours like that are disrespectful of the victim and family of the victim

23

I agree with you. Maybe I am oversensitive but I feel it is disrespectful to the victim and the family.

24

I definitely wouldn’t go on this tour, but I think there are people capitalizing on this kind of thing all over the place. There are lots of people who would be interested in going on a tour like this, because there is so much curiosity based around serial killers and psychopaths.

I have not participated in a tour like that (not sure it would have occurred to me to find and go on one), while I can see why some people may find them interesting, I find them disrespectful to the victims and their surviving friends and families

I have heard of these type of tours, and I’m sure there is a market for them as there is a huge true crime/serial killer population. I’m not sure if I would go on one, but curiosity may win out and I would go, as I am very much, a true crime aficionado.

I would not go on this, but is it really any different than a lot of these true crime shows and podcasts (or books) that glorify real violence. Or the tours about Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Or any of the other serial killer tours that we have? We live in a country (at least those of us who are in the states) that glorifies viloence.

People seem to thrive on others’ misery and yes, there are tourists who seek this kind of tourism. There is always a way to make a $$.

Certain people are fascinated by the macabre, the gruesome.Hence the popularity of zombie movies and TV shows. Haunted House tours, in Savannah, for example. It’s a way for people who thrive on fear but don’t really want to be in any actual danger
