When Sarah Harris went in for surgery to remove her wisdom teeth in the summer of 2020, she must have thought she was in good hands. The oral surgeon she chose, Dr. James Ryan, had years of training, a good reputation and a thriving practice near her Washington, D.C.-area home. As a new patient at 23, she may never have dreamed he'd allegedly watched her when she was just 14. And Ryan would do more than take out Sarah's teeth. Her family says he would take her self-control and eventually take her life.

CBS News is shilling for their parent which cut a docudrama with the story.

It's all in a report titled "Depraved Heart Murder," airing Saturday Oct. 5 at 10/9c on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.

Holy FUCK. Don't read the article if you're easily affected by true stories of evil like I am.

easily affected by true stories of evil like I am.

My brain starts playing La Mer (the Julio Iglesias version at the end of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy or What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong) when I read stories like that.

This is why I thought Blink Twice was the most realistic horror movie I've ever seen. I new that kind of thing was happening some place.
