Proposal Photobombed by a Murderer: Only in 2025 Could This Happen

Only in the year 2025 can you drop down on one knee, pull out a ring, and find your once-in-a-lifetime moment interrupted by a man confessing to multiple murders on camera. We’ve officially crossed into a timeline that feels like a writers’ strike filler episode of Black Mirror — except the writers never came back.

Watch Here:

Here’s the rundown. A couple decided to get engaged at the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis — gorgeous architecture, perfect golden light, a proposal backdrop that practically edits itself. But just as the camera starts rolling, a man strolls calmly into frame like he’s about to ask for directions or bless the couple’s future. His name? Bradley Drakesmith — an attorney. And instead of offering congratulations, he drops this:

“I’m sorry. I’m a murderer. I killed plenty of people. Please God, forgive me for my sins…”

Sir. Wrong confessional. Wrong moment. Wrong everything.

The wildest part? The couple didn’t even notice in real time. They discovered the confession later, while reliving the moment — “Oh babe, look! ...wait.”

Naturally, the moment went instantly viral across TikTok and Instagram. Comment sections erupted into a mixture of laughter, concern, and armchair investigating

But here’s where things get truly bizarre: as of now, investigators haven’t confirmed anything. No bodies linked, no cases reopened, no records matching his claims. Police are still looking into it, leaving the world to debate whether:

A) this man is genuinely confessing to serious crimes, or

B) this is an attorney finally breaking under the weight of billable hours, student debt, and the lingering fumes of conference rooms.

And here’s the kicker — if this moment was meant to be his dramatic, soul-cleansing, cinematic confession, then it’s also the most 2025 way imaginable to do it: by accidentally traumatizing two strangers during one of the most intimate moments of their lives.

Because the truth is, this is how real psychopath energy works. Even when begging for mercy, even when “trying to change,” even when pursuing redemption — the destruction doesn’t stop. Innocent people are still the collateral damage. They manage to hurt people even while apologizing for hurting people.

That’s what makes this story so sharp and unsettling: it’s not just weird, it’s not just darkly hilarious — it’s a perfect snapshot of a world where public meltdowns, criminal confessions, mental-health spirals, and wedding proposals now all share the same camera roll.

Only in 2025.

At the end of the day, this entire situation is peak 2025: a moment meant to be tender, simple, and deeply personal spirals into a spectacle because someone’s internal chaos demanded center stage.

Whether this man’s confession is genuine or the product of a mind unraveling, one lesson is already crystal clear: dangerous people don’t suddenly become harmless because they switch from violence to theatrics.

Confession is about accountability — not innocent bystanders becoming your audience. If you want forgiveness, you don’t hijack someone’s engagement and turn it into your personal True Crime trailer. That’s not redemption… it’s ego disguised as remorse.

And in that sense, his interruption was the real confession. The behavior revealed more than the words. Even in repentance, a psychopath leaves a mess behind.
