Illusion: The Murder of LaNell Barsock

Remember those Magic Eye posters from the 90s? The technical
name is stereogram, an optical illusion where if you kinda unfocus
your eyes and stare at it long enough, a colorful
kaleidoscope-looking abstract will turn into something else. A
rocket ship, maybe, or a tropical landscape. They’re fun, and
everybody had one in their dorm room for a while. We’re always
fascinated by illusion. It’s why magicians are so popular. In the
right context, we love to watch something transform into something
totally different. But when that something is a person we’ve come
to care about and trust? Not so fun anymore.
