To think this lying, conniving woman who has a track record, was covering her tracks with Annie's cell phone and spending her money, could possibly be released in 13 years to do it again is unfathomable.
I don't believe that she will get out in 13 years usually you are denied the first chance at parole and Annie's family will be there to prevent Melissa from getting out. So sorry for the family's loss. Sometimes when I'm worried about a family member and I tell them to text me I don't ask them if they got home okay I asked them where they are at the time I will do roundabout questions and they understand that because as a mother and grandmother I need to know they're safe
@@sackettfamily4685 believe it or not, getting into a little fight here and there while in prison most likely wouldn't effect her parole. If it was a fight with a serious injury or if she was consistently getting into fights then that's different but just a fight or 2 or 3 usually won't eefect her parole
Her resistance to be interviewed by LE is odd. I understand being anxious but seems to me you would want to share the last time you saw your missing roommate, any thoughts to assist the search.
That bothered me, too ... especially when the police stated that she WOULDN'T be interviewed or questioned. I never knew that THAT was a possibility (like a child having a tantrum, stomping their feet and walking away in a huff) ... FORCE that lying POS to ANSWER some questions! I'm SO tired of perpetrators and criminals having MORE rights than victims.
@eileenentler8993 it's the criminal justice system that is DESIGNED to protect the INNOCENT. Cops have to have actual proof of at least direct circumstantial evidence to detain. OBVIOUSLY they suspected and tailed her from day one. She was broke living on a couch at her parents therefore they could take their time.
Actually this is a very useful clip. Sociopaths like Melissa are narcissistic. (And this is why a lawyer tells every client to keep his/her mouth shut.) Note how Melissa emphasizes the inconvenience of Annie’s disappearance to HER - so much so that it drives her to contemplate suicide! A ten minute recitation of “poor me”is a cringeworthy performance to normal people. Annie’s friends feel empathy & compassion for Annie & her loved ones, even to the point of feeling guilt that they haven’t DONE ENOUGH to find her (bc she’s still missing.) But Melissa only cares about Melissa.
This channel has come such a long way since the first video. I love true crime but only about 30% of channels have their own niche, or cover stories that have not been covered to death. JTL is awesome and I love that his cases are ones that I haven't heard. He does thorough research and it shows! Full support for this channel, and I love seeing channels like this grow to be successful! Thank you JTL! Keep up the great work! ❤💯
I couldn’t agree more! I enjoy these, but when when they make a short, a medium, a long, and a couple compilations of each and every story that’s been covered on Forensic Files, you begin to feel like maybe the bloom is off the rose…. I like this guy’s no-nonsense, dig-a-good-story-out style.
Hi Kevin.....I am one of your first 100 subscribers. I wanted to tell you I have enjoyed ALL your videos and that you do an excellent job! Your compassion for these defenseless victims shines through.
I agree 100%!! I was sub number 211 and I've watched videos on OVER 90 TC channels and only kept the TOP 18 channels that I enjoy the most and this channel is one of the best. I'm very picky about my TC channels and this channel is EXCELLENT. He's grown quite a bit in a fairly short time so he will continue to grow. I was expecting 100K by end of this year but we will have to see.
Thanks Diana! Wow, in the first 100, I remember hitting that last November 😀. Thanks for the support from the beginning, really appreciate you being here.
@@kenkaniff8428Here I am over a year later and idk exact number but it was around 240 thousand something. And know I've been binging videos. I hope y'all see this now and are doing good and see how far this has grown since writing.😊😊
That lady is a sociopath. You can tell she views people as tools to get stuff for herself. She wreaks havoc on everyone she meets. I hope the police look a little closer into that previous roommates suicide, as it seems awfully suspicious to me. If nothing else, it planted the seed of how beneficial it can be for her to have certain people die. Btw, I really like how JTL uses as many real pictures, videos and articles when doing a story. I understand some stock material is needed, but so many other channels are nothing but generic filler. Thanks!
I know that police always jump right on that but people who follow “true crime” understand that after a certain period of time, the chance of finding someone alive is almost nil. At this point investigators were looking for a body.
Although I have heard of this case (proper TC nerd), I haven’t seen it covered in this amount of depth, with dignity for Annie at the same time. Really glad I found this channel 😊
@@UsernameUnkwn21 exactly most times those family grt details or closure knowing certain information due to the plea deal that they would never hear without it
@@UsernameUnkwn21 Regardless of others agreements, it's still a disgrace to the victim who is not able to voice an objection to such agreements. The people making all these agreements didn't endure the life ending experience the victim suffered. Enduring a lengthy and difficult trial cannot compare to the victim's life ending experience. This is why agreements/plea deals are really only a benefit to the perpetrator and a "disgrace to the victim".
A lot of the time the plea deal is run by the families of victims before it's offered. Especially in murder cases and in this case the family was aware of the plea from what I understand
This is definitely one of the best true crime channels, come on RUclips algorithm start showing it to more people, subs should be through the roof. Great job Kevin, a case I'd never heard of here in Australia, thanks for upload.
Thanks for sharing this story about the lovely Annie Meyer. Nice to see someone like her getting some extra attention that she wouldn't otherwise receive. I'm sure everyone who watches this will be touched by Annie and the love she shared with an amazing and wonderful family. Sometimes bad things really do happen to good people. As for Melissa... her lies, thefts and layers of deceptions warrant far more than the paltry prison sentence she received. Such a pathetic, manipulative and cowardly excuse for a human. I'm sure there are many of us who suspect her of 'arranging' the 'suicide' of her other partner, as well. How convenient that she didn't have to repay any of the $32,000 she stole from that trusting partner. SMDH.

I hope Melissa gets turned down at her parole hearings, plea deals should NEVER be given to people charged with murder it gives them away out from serving the long prison terms they deserve. I would never agree to give a person a plea deal if they hurt or killed a family member of mine. Does the victims family get to reject a plea deal?😖 Thanks for sharing this story with us. This is one of my favorite channels 👏🏼👍🏻😁
Many times the family does have input on plea deals. And many accept to ensure there is prison time, rather than going through a trial and the person getting off. It also keeps the family from reliving the horrible circumstances through a long, drawn out trial. Unjust, yet used quite often. My condolences to Annie's family and friends.
Sometimes a plea deal is the only way to make sure someone serves some time - unfortunately, they’re used to keep a DAs case rate high because they’re rather have a plea deal that guarantees 7 yrs rather than take a chance with a trial to get life w/o parole but only have a 50/50 chance at guilty verdict. Families usually have input but they’re in no position to make the final decision on whether to offer a plea deal or not - it’s complex and emotions will cloud the judgement. Was cop, have more first hand experience than the average bear probably.
Annie had a huge heart and was the nicest person you could meet?? Of course she was. She's the kind of person leeches attach to. My heart goes out to her family. What a completely senseless and callous murder.

A sociopathic manipulator with no conscience at all. I believe such people have always been around, but luckily, their bold-faced lies and gaslighting has become somewhat easier to unmask in this digital era. Small mercies.
It’s CRAZY when someone helps a friend who is down on her luck for a while but then they turn around and kil them. It’s like giving someone your seat on a bus but they punch you out, steal you bag, plus take your seat
Spot on analogy! You are so right and her actions are sickening. Very happy her family and Annie got Justice! May she rest in peace. Also, wonder if the ex actually COMMITTED SUICIDE. Another commenter bought this up. Makes you wonder 🤔 If she could choose murder once, she definitely could have done it before. Apparently she likes everyone else's money and hard work, except her own.
"I felt like My life is over" is that what she said? What about the life you took and robbed her when she showed you kindness. Wow No remorse. My Deepest Condolences to the Family of Annie.
She murdered her probably brutally, which is why she said Annie had had a nosebleed when she was in the car with her, in case they found drops of blood. She probably used the Saran Wrap to suffocate her, instead she said she used it to try and stem the blood. What a piece of work. Poor Annie.
Had to sub, my dude. Your take on the facts of true crime cases is awesome. Thank you for appearing in my queue and, in turn, my life. What a fresh take on some of the older cases… 👋
A really tough case to cover, you did an excellent report. I do not agree with the sentence. This murder was of a financial gains motive, of someone that was good and helpful. It was unprovoked, cruel and premeditated. The loss of blood could have been shown to have taken more than a single, "Reactionary" hit to the head with a walking stick. The D.A. went for the easy way. Families should be given a chance to refuse a Plea Deal. This should have been reviewed. 20 No Parole wouldn't go far enough for Justice.
Really well written and presented. Thank you for sharing this with me, I really appreciate it. Thanks again, I’m so looking forward to seeing your next upload, very excited for it. 🙂🐿❤️🌈
I was once friends with a person who totally reminds me of this Melissa Miller. Conniving, lying, doing and/or saying anything to get money so that she could survive but not have to work. She'd use any excuse, including feeling suicidal and hopeless to prey on peoples' sympathies and get money. My house was robbed at one point and to this day I believe this "friend" was behind it. So sad because Annie seemed like a genuinely kind human being. It's a shame she crossed paths with this person.
I follow a number of TC channels and have watched many TC shows. I've only just come across your channel which I must admit, is quite impressive. You've done great research and the editing is fantastic! Keep up the awesome work and you've won me over as a subscriber. I can't wait to see more cases from you and agree with the others that your channel will grow huge as more TC fanatics like me will sub!
It shows what an utter narcissist she is when she said after killing Annie, "It didn't matter what I did MY life was over" She will be out to do it again, either directly or simply by her abuse and manipulation she is responsible for the other ladies "suicide" too.
Thanks for the new post Kevin 👏🏼 This is actually a case I had never heard of before. That’s ALWAYS appreciated. There are SO many stories on YT (by different creators) that are just “peat and RE-peat” … that can get old 🙄 This was refreshing, as is much of your awesome content! Thanks a lot for your time, efforts and research with this case 🥇 It was tragic indeed but also quite interesting as well 🤔💭
I've seen cases where the victim was found alive, and interviews with people who weren't the killer, where they used past tense too. Because the last time you saw them, it was the past.
C'mon man, she looked around the forest and couldn't find anyone who could help. What do you expect her to do, use her phone or something? The only thing you can do at that point is go home and order a pizza. Go back tomorrow to see if anyone happens to be around to help.
So they are just taking her word for it that she was really injured in the woods and died there?! Unbelievable! That makes no sense. It makes more sense to me, that it could have been premeditated, and she was murdered, and dumped in the woods. Maybe Annie got sick of supporting her freeloading lifestyle, and told her she needed to move out. If she had been hit over the head with the walking stick hard enough to cause death, then that would have left visible trauma on her skull. I would think anyway.
That sounds like what hapoened. Annie found out she was stealing money from her. She was murdered when she told her roommate that she was going to the police and I'm guessing that her roommate asked her to go on a walk with her under the pretense of talking things out. She attacked Annie when her back was turned and beat her to death with the walking stick.
Hmmm…I really hope they look further into her ex’s suicide. She was suing Melissa for money and then decided to take her life?? That makes no sense. I’d look into Melissa’s entire background bc she very well could be a serial killer. Rip Annie.
This reminds me of the case of the missing army soldier and the freeloading roommate that was “ in love “ with her. She called 911 stating that if something happened that she was acting in self defense. I think his name was “KC” and he volunteered to look for her too and even started arguing with people in comments online.
Oh yeah. I'm liking the way this RUclipsr tells the story. I appreciate the to the point and facts. Great volume and pronunciation. My Deepest Condolences to the Family.
I appreciate your delivery. I find so many others in true crime hard to take...just annoying...and end up not listening to simply because of their vocals. Subscribed.
So she hit her friend on the head with a walking stick, then drove her to the hospital. ? Of course not, she dumped her in the woods. As you do with a friend you've just thumped. This woman should have been jailed for life. She had the whole murder prepared beforehand.
Hi Kevin.. *New Sub!* I’m so happy I found you today! Being new is great.. I get to binge everything you’ve done so far! Thank you for the really good stuff!
Sounds like blunt force trauma followed by asphyxiation with the saran wrap. She thought they had found her with wrap still on so she gave the "tried to stop the blood" story to explain it.
I think it was just asphyxiation. They didn't find any signs of trauma on her remains. If you hit someone so hard they never move again, there would have to be a skull fracture or dent or something.
@@reignman30 Not necessarily. I've seen plenty of guys get knocked out cold without fracture. (One UFC ticket will show the same) You do that, then asphyxiation whilst the person is unconscious and the autopsy won't necessarily find trace of the original trauma.
It's obvious that a lot of people that commit crimes DO NOT follow true crime. Evidence of that is the roommate using victim's bank cards like cameras hadn't been invented yet.
I did not ,for one minute ,believe that " Story " about the walking stick, it was an accident, blah blah blah.... ; if you are a person with a Soul and a Conscience...you immediately get help . She had P l a n n e d Annies demise, because Annie was probably tired of the situation, and so she " had to be dealt with ",by Melissa. What is so disturbing is Ms. Miller's past in regard to hiw she GIT AWAY WITH STEALING that one womans' money ,abd most likely killed her, as well ...but concoted the " Suicide Scenario " . Evil, pure evil. She should not be eligible for release, she is mentally unstable, and a danger to regular Society. Her Family must have bern shocked and devastated.... and people wonder why I DESTEST Text Messaging... its the weakest form of Communication that there is. ...hearing a persons' voice is the best way.

Agreed.

"I felt like My life is over" is that what she said? What about the life you took and robbed her when she showed you kindness. Wow No remorse. My Deepest Condolences to the Family of Annie.
Good work on the lesser known cases! Enjoyed this much!
She murdered her probably brutally, which is why she said Annie had had a nosebleed when she was in the car with her, in case they found drops of blood.
She probably used the Saran Wrap to suffocate her, instead she said she used it to try and stem the blood.
What a piece of work.
Poor Annie.
Just happened to have a roll of Saran Wrap in the truck. Sure you did.
Wow...I grew up in Aurora... this hits home... Thank you so much for your hard work! Absolutely fabulous channel! Much love 💛!
Great photos and video content, quick and concise and your voice is honest and soothing. Love the videos, thanks for uploading!
Thank you always, Kevin! Great work!
This channel is so underrated!! Hopefully more people discover it soon
Same here! 😀
As always thanks 4 the quality content this channel is top notch now time 2 kick back and get stuck into the video see u next time u post 😊😁😀🙂
"Former girlfriend, turned roommate-and-friend" As a lesbian, this messiness is so accurate
Turn to Christ Jesus. Repent
Annie was a 🤮 sicko
@@KingKongbabeif this is serious or not idk but as a lesbian I agree that we need to repent for our messiness lol.
But it was so much funnnnnnnn
Poor Annie, I hope she is at peace 🕊
Enjoy watching your videos and thank you for all your preparation for these videos
Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Had to sub, my dude. Your take on the facts of true crime cases is awesome. Thank you for appearing in my queue and, in turn, my life. What a fresh take on some of the older cases… 👋
Appreciate it. And welcome to the channel. Glad you’re enjoying what we do 😀
yet another well done piece ...
thank YOU
A really tough case to cover, you did an excellent report.
I do not agree with the sentence. This murder was of a financial gains motive, of someone that was good and helpful. It was unprovoked, cruel and premeditated. The loss of blood could have been shown to have taken more than a single, "Reactionary" hit to the head with a walking stick. The D.A. went for the easy way. Families should be given a chance to refuse a Plea Deal. This should have been reviewed. 20 No Parole wouldn't go far enough for Justice.
💯
Really well written and presented. Thank you for sharing this with me, I really appreciate it.
Thanks again, I’m so looking forward to seeing your next upload, very excited for it.
🙂🐿❤️🌈
I was once friends with a person who totally reminds me of this Melissa Miller. Conniving, lying, doing and/or saying anything to get money so that she could survive but not have to work. She'd use any excuse, including feeling suicidal and hopeless to prey on peoples' sympathies and get money. My house was robbed at one point and to this day I believe this "friend" was behind it. So sad because Annie seemed like a genuinely kind human being. It's a shame she crossed paths with this person.
I follow a number of TC channels and have watched many TC shows. I've only just come across your channel which I must admit, is quite impressive. You've done great research and the editing is fantastic! Keep up the awesome work and you've won me over as a subscriber. I can't wait to see more cases from you and agree with the others that your channel will grow huge as more TC fanatics like me will sub!
Thanks Julie. Glad you found us too 😀
Can’t believe I’m just now finding this channel. I love it!! I’m anxious to binge listen until I catch up 😊
Thanks Wendy…happy you found us 😀
great content, & awesome to the point delivery was worth my time thank you
Alway nice to see something new. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for another great video.
It shows what an utter narcissist she is when she said after killing Annie, "It didn't matter what I did MY life was over" She will be out to do it again, either directly or simply by her abuse and manipulation she is responsible for the other ladies "suicide" too.
She was a real life sucker! In many ways.
Thanks for the upload! Never heard about this sad story
Before.
Nice people care too much and ARE vulnerable (to insidious, opportunists). I'm one of them (trying HARD not to be).
@@leahoakwood9988 true, same here 😬
@@leahoakwood9988 hey.... can i borrow 20$....? I promise I'll pay it back...
@@nickyblue4866 :D Ikr?
Love all of the photos. Great work !!
I think she killed the woman in the bath..they need to investigate that again...I don't believe it was suicide.
And I doubt it was her first killing too. I wonder what her death count is? I bet she’s a serial killer.
I AGREE !
There was a detailed suicide letter to her family tho. Diesnt prove it was a suicide but I'm sure it was scrutinized
I have horrible visions of her being forced to write it.
Thanks for the new post Kevin 👏🏼
This is actually a case I had never heard of before. That’s ALWAYS appreciated. There are SO many stories on YT (by different creators) that are just “peat and RE-peat” … that can get old 🙄
This was refreshing, as is much of your awesome content!
Thanks a lot for your time, efforts and research with this case 🥇
It was tragic indeed but also quite interesting as well 🤔💭
Thank you for being here. Really appreciate the support 👍🏻
So glad I can watch these classics. :-)
So much easyer to listen without music..thx!
How did Melissa get away with refusing to speak to the police? If the roommate was innocent she would have notified the police she was missing.
Thank you for this video
Thanks for telling Annie's story xx you are a shining star 🌟
Despite my pale complexion 😀
@@JustThoughtLounge welcome to the club 🙃
Excellent work ❤❤❤
Her friend spoke about her in Past Tense the all times like she knew that she is dead..
i caught tht also...!!
I noticed that as well! Good catch!
Was that before or after she was found tho?
I've seen cases where the victim was found alive, and interviews with people who weren't the killer, where they used past tense too. Because the last time you saw them, it was the past.
Hey, Hon! You do a great job on your videos. Thanks. Sending you a hug from the Allegheny Mountains! love, m
Thanks Maureen!
It's baffling to me the reasoning perpetrators use for not calling 911 and then expect that their story is going to stick.
C'mon man, she looked around the forest and couldn't find anyone who could help. What do you expect her to do, use her phone or something? The only thing you can do at that point is go home and order a pizza. Go back tomorrow to see if anyone happens to be around to help.
Kevin, you are one helluva narrator!! 💕👍🏾💕
So they are just taking her word for it that she was really injured in the woods and died there?! Unbelievable! That makes no sense. It makes more sense to me, that it could have been premeditated, and she was murdered, and dumped in the woods. Maybe Annie got sick of supporting her freeloading lifestyle, and told her she needed to move out. If she had been hit over the head with the walking stick hard enough to cause death, then that would have left visible trauma on her skull. I would think anyway.
That sounds like what hapoened. Annie found out she was stealing money from her. She was murdered when she told her roommate that she was going to the police and I'm guessing that her roommate asked her to go on a walk with her under the pretense of talking things out. She attacked Annie when her back was turned and beat her to death with the walking stick.
She 100% murdered her on purpose and just thought she could get away with it
Hmmm…I really hope they look further into her ex’s suicide. She was suing Melissa for money and then decided to take her life?? That makes no sense. I’d look into Melissa’s entire background bc she very well could be a serial killer.
Rip Annie.
Well done! Never heard of this story!
This reminds me of the case of the missing army soldier and the freeloading roommate that was “ in love “ with her. She called 911 stating that if something happened that she was acting in self defense. I think his name was “KC” and he volunteered to look for her too and even started arguing with people in comments online.
Oh yeah. I'm liking the way this RUclipsr tells the story. I appreciate the to the point and facts. Great volume and pronunciation. My Deepest Condolences to the Family.
I don't trust texts either. I want to hear the voice. My heartfelt condolences 😔❤️
I appreciate your delivery. I find so many others in true crime hard to take...just annoying...and end up not listening to simply because of their vocals. Subscribed.
This channel is very very informative
Thanks!
Thanks Nicole! Hope you’re enjoying the holidays 😀
11:57: he time-travelled! 😮
I was looking for this!!🤣😁
same same
😅
So she hit her friend on the head with a walking stick, then drove her to the hospital. ? Of course not, she dumped her in the woods. As you do with a friend you've just thumped. This woman should have been jailed for life. She had the whole murder prepared beforehand.
Hi Kevin.. *New Sub!* I’m so happy I found you today! Being new is great.. I get to binge everything you’ve done so far! Thank you for the really good stuff!
Welcome to the channel…glad you found us too 👍🏻
@@JustThoughtLounge omg? Creators never reply! Thank you, thank you!! I feel so special! 🤗
@@BucketHeadianHagg appreciate you checking out the channel. Least I can do is reply to your very kind comment 😀👍🏻
So true what me gran used to say"beware of sympathy". Thanks Kevin for another well researched, informative upload. 👍🙏🤗
Great content Kevin. ✌
Thank you!❤
Sounds like blunt force trauma followed by asphyxiation with the saran wrap. She thought they had found her with wrap still on so she gave the "tried to stop the blood" story to explain it.
I think it was just asphyxiation. They didn't find any signs of trauma on her remains. If you hit someone so hard they never move again, there would have to be a skull fracture or dent or something.
@@reignman30 Not necessarily. I've seen plenty of guys get knocked out cold without fracture. (One UFC ticket will show the same) You do that, then asphyxiation whilst the person is unconscious and the autopsy won't necessarily find trace of the original trauma.
Thanks for another great story Kevin.
R.I.P Annie🕊
It's obvious that a lot of people that commit crimes DO NOT follow true crime. Evidence of that is the roommate using victim's bank cards like cameras hadn't been invented yet.
That woman doesn’t deserve to be free… never!!! She should rot in jail as she a liar, manipulater and a horrible person…
Speaking in past tense should have been a major key to the whole investigation outside of all the other clues. She already knew and told on herself
No good deed goes unpunished. 😔
Wow, she left her friend injured in the cold forest - that’s a special kind of hatefulness
Great video! Subscribed!
Interesting story about Annie Meyer, hard to believe her room mate was so evil.
Great Story Kevin, Thank You 😇🇮🇪
Very sad 🙏But you tell these crimes so very WELL 👌🏻👏🏻🤛🏻🍀🙏🙏🙏
I did not ,for one minute ,believe that " Story " about the walking stick, it was an accident, blah blah blah.... ; if you are a person with a Soul and a Conscience...you immediately get help . She had
P l a n n e d Annies demise, because Annie was probably tired of the situation, and so she " had to be dealt with ",by Melissa. What is so disturbing is Ms. Miller's
past in regard to hiw she GIT AWAY WITH STEALING that one womans' money ,abd most likely killed her, as well ...but concoted the " Suicide Scenario " . Evil, pure evil.
She should not be eligible for release, she is mentally unstable, and a danger to regular Society. Her Family must have bern shocked and devastated.... and people wonder why I DESTEST Text Messaging... its the weakest form of Communication that there is. ...hearing a persons' voice is the best way.
