[true-crime] How Not to Get Away With Murder: The stranger-than-fiction story of the Stoney Creek killing … Watch the Dunning-Kruger effect play out in this true crime story from Canada, as two grifters overestimate their ability to getaway with murder. ‘Despite their scattershot efforts, Karafa and Li had left behind voluminous evidence—less breadcrumbs than whole loaves. Surveillance cameras had caught them at just about every stage of the crime: in the condo elevator, at the shooting location, dumping the Range Rover and en route to their various pit stops. The police didn’t need Pratt’s and Romano’s phones to access messages about the meetup; they were able to subpoena texts that outlined the entire plan. They’d found Li’s abandoned Mercedes and the nearby garbage can where she’d left her wig and bloodied sweatpants. Even as Li and Karafa had made their escape, security cameras caught them at Union Station, waiting for a shuttle bus in Montreal and again at the Montreal airport.’
