What a horrible and pathetic woman she is. He owed her nothing yet still took care of her and she does that to him. Poor Vern. My heart breaks for his kids and his grandbabies that he loved so much. May he rest in everlasting peace.
Even after my son died and I got divorced, My ex husband’s father continued to call and check on me and meet me for lunch on my sons birthday. The man has never forgotten about me and he is such a wonderful person. So this man was surely an angel and deserved better.
I think there are plenty of cases where being related has nothing to do with it. Housemates and children from a previous marriage whose parent is now in a non-marriage relationship come to mind, but I am sure there are many others. The only improvement I can think of would be to ask for renewed permission from the insured person after a short amount of time like every 6 months or so, and failure to provide it resulting in immediate termination of the policy. This would at least prevent people from forgetting that someone has a life insurance on them and would benefit from their death, which would be important to remind them of if the relations have become soured at that time. To prevent overreacting to a temporary beef, there could also be an option for the insured person to suspend the insurance, so it would not be valid until the suspension was lifted, but no new application would have to be set in motion after the issue got resolved. This would also provide law enforcement with valuable insight on how rocky the relationship between the insured and beneficiary was, as it would show up as several (or long periods) of suspension. Just brainstorming here, but I think the solution could best be more nuanced than a general ban, as it would probably lead to a lot of good people suffering due to a few rotten apples.
It kills me that he just laid there, bleeding out and suffering for 8 hours!!! If they had found him sooner, he would have had a much better chance of surviving. So incredibly sad and I imagine it tortures his family. May he rest in peace.
@Jason Voorhees He didn’t steal anything. Not sure if you just didn’t listen to the story? It was a business deal that the “nerd” backed out of. It wasn’t Vern’s fault at all.
@jasonvoorhees5640 Yes, if he didn't make the next payment. At that point, all bets are off, the deal is done, and it's all over for dipshit thieving "nerd". Prison is the safest place he'll ever be again. Once he gets out, he belongs to Vern's family. To do with whatever they will.
@Jason Voorhees Lol no. That’s how it works and both parties were aware of that before signing the contract. It’s much the same as signing a rent to own contract on a house. If you can’t afford to keep up with the payments, you lose the house and the money. You don’t get reimbursed for the money you put in to that point. Just how it goes. Nobody’s making you sign that contract.
@Jason Voorhees Also funny how you consider Vern a thief but don’t consider the fact that the whole reason this guy killed him was because he wanted his business but didn’t have the money to pay for it. He killed Vern for the sole purpose of stealing HIS business! Like, come on.
I'm from Yakima and knew Mr Holbrook. He and my aunt were in a relationship years ago. A very kind man. It was very sad when he passed... Cowiche is a very small attractive town and is in the middle of apple orchards. Rest in Peace Vern. 🙏

@@amazing_bastardI think you need to! They thought so little of the man's life and took it for a measly 1.5 mill. If I were the judge, all 4 would have got the death sentence.
@@mikenotta7079the jury wouldn’t have bought a sentence against all four bc the case against the men was circumstantial so the state had to trade the women‘s testimonies against the men in exchange for reduced sentences. Regarding the death penalty, only 5 people have been executed by the state of Washington since 1976. Capital punishment was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 2018 and abolished in 2023 in the state. So you’d have had a very hard time pushing for a death penalty there. Not to mention it’s barbaric, just on a side note. That said, the perpetrators in this case definitely got a lot less than they deserved. But that alone doesn’t support the comment I was originally responding to.
One of the things I like about Mike is that he's not incredibly serious like most true crime RUclipsrs, he puts in a splash of humor without offending anyone (except for the murderers) and it's nice not getting a negative feeling after watching his videos.
Sweet people’s ex employees and daughter-in-laws don’t just wanna randomly kill them for money. I say he’s probably just pretending to be sweet. I wouldn’t be surprised if he forced himself on the daughter-in-law and that’s why she wanted revenge.
@@Axolotl_Mischief would knowing them be worth 10 k then? that makes 0 sense. if youre to kill anyone for such low amount, it would be a stranger... either way its fucked up to agree to killing someone for any sum.
Gosh he seemed like such a sweet old man, reminds me of my own dad. He’s 80 and still runs a printing press, he won’t stop. I don’t know how people can do such a horrible thing, Verns poor family.
Sorry for your troubles. Just horrible that such a good decent man would be murdered like that. Especially sad for family that he didn't regain consciousness. ❤🙏
My grandfather always had the same mantra as him, “a family who goes to the dump together, stays together”. We grew up dairy farming, working everyday with our hands and at the pinnacle of it all was my grandfather. I spent years just wishing I could be a fraction of the man he was, watching, observing, just trying to model myself after him. After all this time, after almost 10 years of him being gone, I think I’ve finally realized what he meant. “A family that’s willing to get into the dirty mess with eachother, and still come out of it together, will stay together”. I just hope I can implement that into those after me. R.I.P Grandpa. Hope you’re riding that mower in the sky 🙏❤️
Oh man, what a terrible story of betrayal. As always, you're the best storyteller on RUclips, Mike. I look forward to the next one. And, as you say, until then, as always, take care of yourself, Mike, because I love you too!
I really hate it when things like this happen. A kind, devoted, driven person has a dirtbag in the family who ends up responsible for the good person’s death.
Chandler Halderson, Joel Guy Jonior, Grant Amato, all had wonderful family that would do anything for them. If you're not scummy yourself you'll never understand it
It's crazy... I've been an addixt for more than half my life . Physically addicted to opiods and amphetamines since I was a teen. I have witnessed people do INSANE things to get high... the stories like this one make me want to get clean so badly , I have grown to hate drugs and hate addicts and how they act ...
The three types of abuse/murder that I hate the most and breaks my heart are: elder, child and animal. To abuse and hurt or kill something that is helpless is beyond low. When you find out it is family/friend it makes it so much worse. May he Rest In Peace and his family find comfort.
@@johnandrews9433 well hunans are animals, we are bi-pedal mammalian primates & thats called the food chain but its typically not the non-human animals "children". Balut & veal would be technically but no rational person gives a damn about vegans-illogical nonsense
Outside of the fact that we humans are also animals- kids have killed ppl, animals have killed ppl, the elderly have killed ppl & ⬆️ yep even the disabled have killed ppl. None is any worse than another- except maybe the non-human animals killing ppl because some of them dont kill the person before they start eating them
omgomgomg I LOVE when people do true crime coverage of things that happen in MY HOME TOWN. This was a huge case and it hurt so many people in the Yakima Valley. Thank you for the respectful coverage of this.
That Chapter has the best true crime, murder mystery and unsolved videos. It's funny, not in a disrespectful way to victims and there loved ones. It helps make it not depressing to watch, sad but his light humor makes it's so much better to listen to.
Mike twice in a week? I’m in heaven! Thank you Mike, you’re literally the best!! I so needed this today my yt was getting a little boring. But here you come to save the day again!
It’s incredibly unfortunate for Vern’s that Taylor was pardoned for her part in this murder. I feel for Vern’s son and the grandchildren the most who have to continue dealing with this sort of human being. She’s not trustworthy at all. She will get the consequences of her actions in the hereafter!
I'm from yakima, I live in a suburb of yakima currently for 42 years now.Little known fact...Cowichie isn't desolate like described. It's actually known for all its Apple orchards. The pictures he showed were more on the extreme outskirts. Its a beautiful area. Hops are grown about 30 miles from cowichie to the south in an area called moxie. 70% of the world's hops are grown here. I remember when this happened and all the drama it stirred up. Very sad. Nice family. Also...the sunshine motel was torn down not long after this whole debacle happened..about 2 years.
@R Voit no. Apple orchards are very active with workers year round. He showed pictures of our beautiful sage brush desert and described the area as "desolate"...the pictures he showed was what it likes like going towards Handford nuclear facility.
Mike I just noticed you're getting into range for two million! I remember asking you what you were going to do for us to celebrate 100k... As I said below, you're so much more relaxed now. Your screen persona has developed, you've relaxed and you seem to enjoy it more. Your content, the crimes you cover and your research and writing mean I'd always choose to watch your vids, but now they make me laugh, too. It's weird but I definitely feel proud of you. It's almost as good as watching one of my sons' achieve something great...
I love that he says "I love ya!" I'm sure he never saw &/or it didn't influence him, but I encouraged him to keep telling us - some of us need to hear those words sometimes, even from a "stranger," though Mike seems like a real friend. 🥰 (PS: There's only one Mike!) 😄
Not going to lie, I have developed a massive crush on him over the past couple of years. Love seeing his style develop while he maintains his own sense of self.
I have to say I wasn’t sure about the new format, i.e. longer videos once a week, but it was a really good idea, I love that there’s time for more details this way. You are definitely my favourite channel on YT, wish you the very best Mike!
Poor Vern, being so brutally attacked and trying to hang on for life for his family he loved so much, no doubt. Such a shame the broads got off so lightly and that the men only got 30 years apiece, which they will certainly be out in half that time with good behavior. Anyhow, thanks for the story and have a good weekend.
Hey That Chapter! There's a super crazy case going on where I live on Prince Edward Island, Canada. I don't know all the details, but a boy named Jamie Sark was missing. After a while, his body was found. From what I hear, his cousin killed him, and he and another person moved the body to hide it. The killer will not name the accomplice, and the killer got 4 years in jail. Yeah. Four years. For murder and hiding the body. I'd love to hear you cover this!!
Crazy to hear my city Yakima covered and actually pronouced correctly. Hopefully Mike finds enough to make a story about my cousin that was murdered in the 90s back when I sent the info. Great video as always Mike.
@@elizabethpeck9042 he used to, he announced earlier he has gone down to one a week because he is doing longer videos. The “saying what everyone is thinking” bit wasn’t really called for regardless. Comes off a bit snobby.
Never have I thought I’d be happy to hear an add but I am so happy for you. I saw your thank you on the community page and it makes me happy to hear that we, by watching, help support you doing this full time. So awesome:)
@R Voit congrats dude, you clearly understood what I meant. There’s really 0 need for you to comment that. My diagnosis for you is you probably have never properly received the love and care from your family and so you feel inclined to take a 100% positive comment, point out a mistake and try to make me feel dumb and yourself like the genius, is quite sociopathic to seek power through manipulation and putting others down. I hope your live turns around for you.
I really love how Mike has grown with this channel been watching that chapter since the post Malone days lol n can see the difference Mike he seemed a bit more shy before he has always been good at telling these cases n adding a lil humor giving us a smile while hearing these heavy cases. Proud of u Mike
I remember this case. Real sad. He seemed like a great family man. It reminds me of the senseless murder of the other real estate female who was taken while showing a home and then buried where the young guy used to be employed.
We have an unsolved real estate murder case here in Victoria British Columbia 🇨🇦. In 2008, a young female agent Lindsey Buziac, was murdered by a white couple with thick eastern european accents. The woman wore a very distinct black white and red dress with a vertical wave design. It's years old now sadly. I hope it will be solved soon.
@@abelis644 2008 or thereabouts a lot of shit went down for people, regarding money and mortgages. Stupid money to be one or lost. I'm reminded of the X Power Ranger who met a couple to buy their boat and just threw them overboard with a cinder block attached to their feet. If you had something big you needed to sell it. Shit. Went. Down.
He seemed to be a good and kind man and his life was taken brutally like that. Hope he RIP and his family can learn how to live with this horrible trauma.
Mike, my mom and I never miss an episode and I found out today that I am one of 6 people at the clinic where I work that loves your show, too. You have a pretty strong fanbase in the Twin Cities, so I guess you could say TC loves TC!!! Thank you for another great video and your advertising comedy is spot on! Luv ya, Mike!
When Dan is being interrogated by the police, he reminds me of the character William Macy played in the movie "Fargo". The way Dan is squirming is hilarious.
This case is absolutely horrific. Verne seems like a wonderful man. Murdered for what ?! Just disgusting! My heart goes out to his family. Great work , Mike. I love ya ♥️
Lived in the lower Yakima valley and Yakima. It is not the safest place. There are lots of positives as well. Gang related crimes are on the regular. Beautiful wine country and close to the mountains. A lot of good people too. As always your content is awesome. Thank you and please continue what you do! Love to Zillah, Toppenish and Granger!
Thanks Mike for covering this! This was our house in Cowiche that this incident happened in. I grew up here until high school, and shortly after moving to Moses Lake, this happened. Was so surreal to think someone had their thoat slit in my parents bedroom, where I spent so much time running around. Poor guy.
I'm here for ya Mike!! I LOVE your videos!! I remember when you first started, and I have to say that you've REALLY grown into an awesome story teller!! 💜✌🏼
Yay, you kept your nice new background! I love the original the most, of course, but this one is a very close second! You're the best, Mike! And I saw your post from about 7 hours or so ago, and I have to tell you, you are so truly talented. I have genuine love and care for you (but not in a creepy-stalkery way at all) and wish only good things for you. You're just the best, Mike! Merry Christmas to you and yours. Much love coming to you from Phoenix, Arizona, USA.
I really hope we all have that “non-creepy” type of love for him, as he deserves it from his fans. He never lets us down and he always portrays these cases with genuine emotion and a little bit of humor; as needed and delivered in a respectable manner. I have been here for quite a few years and I’ll keep coming back as long as Mike wants to share these videos with us. Much love from your Pennsylvanian fans, in the good ‘ole USA. 🤞🏻🥰😊
I started following you a few years ago when you were shy and you told fantastic stories. I didn't subscribe until you gave ME (lol) the "wink". After that I couldn't wait to watch again.....and again.....and again. You captured my heart with just a wink and I am forever yours! And now, years later, you still give ME that precious wink and I am so grateful. You always make me smile at the end even after horrific stories. Thank you for that! Love ya............
Being from Seattle, I will never get tired of hearing people who aren’t from Washington pronounce the names of our cities/counties lol. 😂 You actually did a surprisingly good job! Honestly, you did better than a lot of people who are from the US lol.
I think I saw this on Dateline awhile ago. I just remember being totally shocked that POS ex-daughter-in-law basically got away w/ her part. Sickening. I just don’t understand people.
This is so sad. I would have loved to have a father in law like Vern, who obviously loved his family. Some just didn’t realize it. You just can’t trust family can you? They will f**k you harder than anyone you know, or hire someone to….😢 take care Mike! Great story again!!
Hi Catherine was real family she was just a piece of ass that Vern s son picked up off the streets pardon my French whose only real worth were her children, if you ask me, she is no real family but her kids were Vern's grandchildren he was their grandpa and I hope Vern's boy has sole custody of those kids abdci hope they grew up despising their mother as the scum she is
Great new video as usual! 👏 Poor Vern, this made feel so angry and upset for him and his family 😓🙏 On another note...I am also so grateful to see and hear again - let's give it a goo and then the guitar music, i missed that so much! Thanks Mike 👍💜
I really love I came across this channel, Mike is super light hearted/humours and respectful with the sensitive content; I followed on all social media accts as well.
Hey Mike, love ya! Wish you can cover the story of Arthur Labinjo Hughes. This poor boy's story needs to be shared. It's the least we can do for him. No one protected him in his short short life..... we owe him
Arthur's tragic story is just so sad and horrible. That poor little boy, my heart breaks. I find the cases involving children so hard, especially when there was long term terrible suffering. Victoria Climbie, Tesslynn O'Cull, Maria Colwell, Daniel Pelka, Baby P, Arthur Labinjo Hughes, Gabriel Fernandez, Baby Brianna, the list is sadly so long, the facts of each case so hard to bear.
I can't even express how much I have missed the intro music!! And the "give it a goo"!! Hopefully those 2 things are back to stay 🤞🏽 Thanks for all you do, Mike ✌🏽❤️😊
That Chapter on a Friday! To end my first semester at university too! Love it! Have a fantastic weekend everyone. Love ya too Mike. Now let’s have a goo?
@@misterslats thanks! I’ve not had all my results yet but I’ve been doing okay. I’m a student forensic anthropologist/pathologist/scientist. Not decided on the exact science I wanna do yet. I’ve got my fav, biology & biochemistry. Enjoying the course very much. ❤
@@laratheplanespotter I cannot recommend you look into Biotechnology enough- if you want something stable, the manufacturing side always has jobs, but if you like the lab, there’s still a lot of options. My partner wasn’t sure, went that route, and is at Pfizer now. Its such a growing field, you can’t go wrong. Good luck though, I know me and the rest of That Chapter fans are proud of you :) It won’t always be easy, but keep going!
Thank you once again for another awesome job of presenting Vern Hollbrook's care with respect and just a pinch of your twisted sense of humor. I can't wait for your next video. Unfortunately you have so many sick and twisted cases available to choose from. Keep safe and have stupendous holidays!
Hadn’t heard about this case in quite some time, still makes me just as angry and sad for this man…seemed like someone who would just help and help people he cared about, and it bit him in the end 😢
I love how Mike doesn't use a bunch of filler imagery (Like Steve Stockton, etc!) that is just background visual noise. Mike's personality and him actually narrating with legit photos / videos is legit. Don't lose it, Mike!
Thank you Mike for each and every story you share. You have such a talent of story telling. My dad would love listening to you if he was here today. Thank you again ☺️🙂❤️
I’ve got the video on while I’m working. So I’m listening more than watching. The life insurance jingle just came on and Im dying laughing. Mike! You are a star! Love your humor and story telling ❤❤
wasn't expecting to see you, but sooooo glad to!! I hope you win every award possible from RUclips, as you just hit the ball out of the park with your research, witty personality and yet you show concern for victims and call the criminals out for what they are, all with the best accent ever. I watch you on Patreon as well and some cases my husband and I have watched a few times just because you're so hilarious and yet thorough in your presentations. and omg the life insurance dance .... CLASSIC ... keep up the great work, take care of yourself, cuz we love ya 😛
I lived in Cowiche for a dozen years a decade ago when this event happened. Nice rural setting full of apple orchards tucked in the foothills of the Cascade mountains. One of the biggest apple orchardist and packer in the world originated from there. Nice place to raise kids and far enough away from Yakima to avoid long history of trouble. This story was an anomaly for the most part.
What a treat to have 2 videos in 1 week! Thanks, Mike! Jill, the former daughter-in-law, is a total piece of 🗑 for doing Vern like that. What a good man, continuing support to her even after a divorce from his son. I can't help but to connect that her children are his grandkids! I feel for everyone who experienced this senseless loss, especially her children. They're going to spend the rest of their lives knowing their Mom helped to murder their Grandpa...damn. Drug addiction=Bad choices y'all!
So often the prosecution has to make deals with the devils and in this case these two horrendous women were devils! Too bad Vern couldn't have made some sort of a deathbed ID on this immigrant murderer!
Being beaten to death is already gruesome in itself, but doing that and slicing his throat open is another level of disgusting and heartlessness. I hope all perpetrators involved rot in hell
How vile! Poor Vern and his family. The leaving him broke my heart. That life insurance would have me running to a barrister immediately getting that Holden guy under control. I’m still so sad about this man suffered! My da is 78 and in the back of my mind throughout listening. What a lot of oxygen thieves, I hope they all suffer miserably throughout the remainder of their miserable lives.
This was the first time I have heard about this case. It was sad to hear that ex daughter in law was involved considering how he continued to look upon her as being family after she divorced from his son. That is shocking to me and so bloody senseless. I can't imagine how the remaining felt when finding this out.
My neighbor Paul's black lab, Oakley, barks whenever she catches me refilling the bird feeders in my backyard. Thanks to you, Mike, I now loudly reply, "I hear you barking, big dog!"
Your channel was recommended to me a few months ago...and I'm hooked...but it's funny watching your evolution from quite restrained to almost class clown...and all throughout getting the main points across...and your background is perfect....
It’s really annoying the women got off. Can’t imagine how poor Vern’s family feel. A hardworking, dedicated family man close to enjoying his retirement should not have to suffer like this because people feel entitled to his well earned success. RIP 💙
it makes me smile every time you say " Let's give it a gooo" thanks for all your work! Today I am under the weather and a bit sad, listening to you is a nice feeling. I like the mystery and getting amased by the stories, sometimes getting sad or angry, but the real deal I come here because of Mike :)
Your channel is the first channel I ever hit the notification bell for. I look forward to giving it a gooo every time you give it. We all love you too. Thank you for the great content.
Another great video, Mike. I had never heard of this case before. How terribly sad that a person who devotes his life to helping others end up like this sweet old man.💔💔

How someone can take a life insurance policy on a guy they aren't related to is a question I think more people should ask.
I think there are plenty of cases where being related has nothing to do with it. Housemates and children from a previous marriage whose parent is now in a non-marriage relationship come to mind, but I am sure there are many others. The only improvement I can think of would be to ask for renewed permission from the insured person after a short amount of time like every 6 months or so, and failure to provide it resulting in immediate termination of the policy. This would at least prevent people from forgetting that someone has a life insurance on them and would benefit from their death, which would be important to remind them of if the relations have become soured at that time. To prevent overreacting to a temporary beef, there could also be an option for the insured person to suspend the insurance, so it would not be valid until the suspension was lifted, but no new application would have to be set in motion after the issue got resolved. This would also provide law enforcement with valuable insight on how rocky the relationship between the insured and beneficiary was, as it would show up as several (or long periods) of suspension.
Just brainstorming here, but I think the solution could best be more nuanced than a general ban, as it would probably lead to a lot of good people suffering due to a few rotten apples.
You can take a life insurance policy on literally anyone who agreed to it.
Yeah that's a good thing to think about you have to have what's called an insurable interest
It kills me that he just laid there, bleeding out and suffering for 8 hours!!! If they had found him sooner, he would have had a much better chance of surviving. So incredibly sad and I imagine it tortures his family.
May he rest in peace.
So so so sad.
@Jason Voorhees He didn’t steal anything. Not sure if you just didn’t listen to the story? It was a business deal that the “nerd” backed out of. It wasn’t Vern’s fault at all.
@jasonvoorhees5640 Yes, if he didn't make the next payment. At that point, all bets are off, the deal is done, and it's all over for dipshit thieving "nerd".
Prison is the safest place he'll ever be again. Once he gets out, he belongs to Vern's family. To do with whatever they will.
@Jason Voorhees Lol no. That’s how it works and both parties were aware of that before signing the contract.

It never ceases to amaze me how little it takes for some people to turn to murder
Life insurance is such an evil instrument of the devil, soo many murders connected to this because of greed

The way Vern was described reminds me so much of my own grandfather, it makes me sick to imagine someone harming such a sweet person.
What I think is almost worse, is agreeing to murder someone you've never met and know nothing about...for $10k.
Sweet people’s ex employees and daughter-in-laws don’t just wanna randomly kill them for money. I say he’s probably just pretending to be sweet. I wouldn’t be surprised if he forced himself on the daughter-in-law and that’s why she wanted revenge.

Sorry for your troubles. Just horrible that such a good decent man would be murdered like that. Especially sad for family that he didn't regain consciousness. ❤🙏
@@tamedshrew235 I was really hoping he would recover 😔
@@btrueeth Me too. Maybe had they found him earlier. Poor old man should not have died that way. :(
Sounds like a stellar guy...RIP😔
Far too many good human beings are killed by scum for the “crime” of being decent/helpful/generous. I am sorry for your loss.
My grandfather always had the same mantra as him, “a family who goes to the dump together, stays together”. We grew up dairy farming, working everyday with our hands and at the pinnacle of it all was my grandfather. I spent years just wishing I could be a fraction of the man he was, watching, observing, just trying to model myself after him. After all this time, after almost 10 years of him being gone, I think I’ve finally realized what he meant. “A family that’s willing to get into the dirty mess with eachother, and still come out of it together, will stay together”. I just hope I can implement that into those after me. R.I.P Grandpa. Hope you’re riding that mower in the sky 🙏❤️
Friday is officially 100 times better! Thanks Mike!
Very happy to hear that!
@@ThatChapter Both days are better... Ha. but, " I hear you barking big dog." Good stuff, good sir.
The best part of all of Mike's videos is his sincere thank you at the end. Thanks for your work Mike.
Oh man, what a terrible story of betrayal. As always, you're the best storyteller on RUclips, Mike. I look forward to the next one. And, as you say, until then, as always, take care of yourself, Mike, because I love you too!
I really hate it when things like this happen. A kind, devoted, driven person has a dirtbag in the family who ends up responsible for the good person’s death.
Chandler Halderson, Joel Guy Jonior, Grant Amato, all had wonderful family that would do anything for them. If you're not scummy yourself you'll never understand it
It's crazy... I've been an addixt for more than half my life . Physically addicted to opiods and amphetamines since I was a teen. I have witnessed people do INSANE things to get high... the stories like this one make me want to get clean so badly , I have grown to hate drugs and hate addicts and how they act ...
k.
The three types of abuse/murder that I hate the most and breaks my heart are: elder, child and animal. To abuse and hurt or kill something that is helpless is beyond low. When you find out it is family/friend it makes it so much worse. May he Rest In Peace and his family find comfort.
Don’t forget the disabled. Anytime a person abuses and takes advantage of someone/thing that can’t defend themselves well. Disgusting.
Weird I thought everybody loved old people killing the children of animals 😂
@@johnandrews9433 well hunans are animals, we are bi-pedal mammalian primates & thats called the food chain but its typically not the non-human animals "children". Balut & veal would be technically but no rational person gives a damn about vegans-illogical nonsense
Outside of the fact that we humans are also animals- kids have killed ppl, animals have killed ppl, the elderly have killed ppl & ⬆️ yep even the disabled have killed ppl. None is any worse than another- except maybe the non-human animals killing ppl because some of them dont kill the person before they start eating them
@@rachaeljones4731 Yeah, I was about to add that.
omgomgomg I LOVE when people do true crime coverage of things that happen in MY HOME TOWN. This was a huge case and it hurt so many people in the Yakima Valley. Thank you for the respectful coverage of this.
Poor Vern. What a cruel death. He would have been so scared and distressed.
That Chapter has the best true crime, murder mystery and unsolved videos. It's funny, not in a disrespectful way to victims and there loved ones. It helps make it not depressing to watch, sad but his light humor makes it's so much better to listen to.
Thank you Mike. Sad that Vern was killed, he seemed like a kind man. Murder is never the answer.
Mike twice in a week? I’m in heaven! Thank you Mike, you’re literally the best!! I so needed this today my yt was getting a little boring. But here you come to save the day again!
I know. I checked my YT & saw notification & was like...whaaa? Really? That's fantabulous!
This story is absolutely unbelievable! RIP VERN! TOO GOOD FOR THIS PLANET!
It’s incredibly unfortunate for Vern’s that Taylor was pardoned for her part in this murder. I feel for Vern’s son and the grandchildren the most who have to continue dealing with this sort of human being. She’s not trustworthy at all. She will get the consequences of her actions in the hereafter!
Keep doing your thang Mike, live 4 all things That Chapter. 💪
Thank you!
Just wanna say, again, super happy the music is back. Thanks for all you do Mike and for listening to your fans!
I'm from yakima, I live in a suburb of yakima currently for 42 years now.Little known fact...Cowichie isn't desolate like described. It's actually known for all its Apple orchards. The pictures he showed were more on the extreme outskirts. Its a beautiful area. Hops are grown about 30 miles from cowichie to the south in an area called moxie. 70% of the world's hops are grown here. I remember when this happened and all the drama it stirred up. Very sad. Nice family.
Also...the sunshine motel was torn down not long after this whole debacle happened..about 2 years.
Good riddance to that drug addled property.
Apple
@R Voit no. Apple orchards are very active with workers year round.
He showed pictures of our beautiful sage brush desert and described the area as "desolate"...the pictures he showed was what it likes like going towards Handford nuclear facility.
Orange
@R Voit chill out bucko, no need to rev up to 100.
Mike I just noticed you're getting into range for two million! I remember asking you what you were going to do for us to celebrate 100k...
As I said below, you're so much more relaxed now. Your screen persona has developed, you've relaxed and you seem to enjoy it more.
Your content, the crimes you cover and your research and writing mean I'd always choose to watch your vids, but now they make me laugh, too.
It's weird but I definitely feel proud of you. It's almost as good as watching one of my sons' achieve something great...
Love how you weirdos are "proud" of random people you don't even know get a life
I love that he says "I love ya!" I'm sure he never saw &/or it didn't influence him, but I encouraged him to keep telling us - some of us need to hear those words sometimes, even from a "stranger," though Mike seems like a real friend. 🥰
(PS: There's only one Mike!) 😄
Not going to lie, I have developed a massive crush on him over the past couple of years. Love seeing his style develop while he maintains his own sense of self.
@@sfcitygirl88 lol who hasn’t? 😂 I love that he’s kept his own personality. I hope that never changes.
I know exactly what you mean. It's like your best buddy done good. Sounds strange but I feel safe with Mike xx
I'm so happy there's an extra video today!
Thank you so much, you saved my day today ❤️
I have to say I wasn’t sure about the new format, i.e. longer videos once a week, but it was a really good idea, I love that there’s time for more details this way. You are definitely my favourite channel on YT, wish you the very best Mike!
Lol I love how he's like, " I don't have the money ( to hire a killer)," not..... I would NEVER hire someone to kill!"
Poor Vern, being so brutally attacked and trying to hang on for life for his family he loved so much, no doubt. Such a shame the broads got off so lightly and that the men only got 30 years apiece, which they will certainly be out in half that time with good behavior.
Anyhow, thanks for the story and have a good weekend.
God dang broads.
Hey That Chapter! There's a super crazy case going on where I live on Prince Edward Island, Canada. I don't know all the details, but a boy named Jamie Sark was missing. After a while, his body was found. From what I hear, his cousin killed him, and he and another person moved the body to hide it. The killer will not name the accomplice, and the killer got 4 years in jail. Yeah. Four years. For murder and hiding the body. I'd love to hear you cover this!!
Omg. The sentences in America are bad enough; the sentences in Canada are INSANE.
The sentences in the UK are way worse it's ridiculous here
He's covered it since
8:53 "Three kids, all under eight, with a criminal record."
Now that's just terrible parenting right there.
To see her hugging Vern in that video at the end , is really messed up to think she was faking her love for him all these years
Crazy to hear my city Yakima covered and actually pronouced correctly. Hopefully Mike finds enough to make a story about my cousin that was murdered in the 90s back when I sent the info.
Great video as always Mike.
Also, Cowiche pronounced perfectly! (That was my house he was murdered in)
I was surprised and impressed as well
2 full length episodes in one week what have we done to deserve this?! ❤
He always does 2 full video’s each week! Just saying what everyone else is thinking…💜💜
@@elizabethpeck9042 he used to, he announced earlier he has gone down to one a week because he is doing longer videos. The “saying what everyone is thinking” bit wasn’t really called for regardless. Comes off a bit snobby.
@@mollyk5557 clearly I do if he uploaded them right? Weird ass.
Shh don't jinx it lol
@@edt5976 🤭 my bad my bad
I like the darker background. I think it’s your signature look. Love your story telling and every episode is worth waiting for ☺️
Never have I thought I’d be happy to hear an add but I am so happy for you. I saw your thank you on the community page and it makes me happy to hear that we, by watching, help support you doing this full time. So awesome:)
@R Voit congrats dude, you clearly understood what I meant. There’s really 0 need for you to comment that. My diagnosis for you is you probably have never properly received the love and care from your family and so you feel inclined to take a 100% positive comment, point out a mistake and try to make me feel dumb and yourself like the genius, is quite sociopathic to seek power through manipulation and putting others down. I hope your live turns around for you.
I really love how Mike has grown with this channel been watching that chapter since the post Malone days lol n can see the difference Mike he seemed a bit more shy before he has always been good at telling these cases n adding a lil humor giving us a smile while hearing these heavy cases. Proud of u Mike
I got in on the Lake City Quiet Pills video, he hasn’t changed a lot but he sure is much more polished and confident.
Ya I have been here for a few years now I lobe him he's great
You feel like old friend, Mike, and your work is amazing as ever.
Mike is a great storyteller. That's why we love ya ❤
Ohhhh check you out, you got a heart!!...he doesn't give those lightly you know
I remember this case. Real sad. He seemed like a great family man. It reminds me of the senseless murder of the other real estate female who was taken while showing a home and then buried where the young guy used to be employed.
I remember Billie Dean Hamilton case. That was sad. IIRC, her killer died in prison a few years back.
We have an unsolved real estate murder case here in Victoria British Columbia 🇨🇦.
In 2008, a young female agent Lindsey Buziac, was murdered by a white couple with thick eastern european accents. The woman wore a very distinct black white and red dress with a vertical wave design.
It's years old now sadly.
I hope it will be solved soon.
Was that the one with the suspect that was wearing a black and fuchsia striped dress?
@@4bibimimi yes
@@abelis644 2008 or thereabouts a lot of shit went down for people, regarding money and mortgages. Stupid money to be one or lost. I'm reminded of the X Power Ranger who met a couple to buy their boat and just threw them overboard with a cinder block attached to their feet. If you had something big you needed to sell it. Shit. Went. Down.
He seemed to be a good and kind man and his life was taken brutally like that. Hope he RIP and his family can learn how to live with this horrible trauma.
Mike, my mom and I never miss an episode and I found out today that I am one of 6 people at the clinic where I work that loves your show, too. You have a pretty strong fanbase in the Twin Cities, so I guess you could say TC loves TC!!! Thank you for another great video and your advertising comedy is spot on! Luv ya, Mike!
When Dan is being interrogated by the police, he reminds me of the character William Macy played in the movie "Fargo". The way Dan is squirming is hilarious.
This case is absolutely horrific. Verne seems like a wonderful man. Murdered for what ?! Just disgusting!
My heart goes out to his family.
Great work , Mike. I love ya ♥️
He's the guy that actually showed my aunt her house that she lived in for many years. He was really a nice guy. Thanks for doing this video
You can tell how popular Mike is with the speed that the comments always come in you don't see this on most other channels
Rest in peace Vern and condolences to his family and friends. He seemed like a genuine and lovely man. 🕊️
Mike, I have longed for these more detailed cases from you. I adore your incredible abilities and you are truly appreciated. ❤
Lived in the lower Yakima valley and Yakima. It is not the safest place. There are lots of positives as well. Gang related crimes are on the regular. Beautiful wine country and close to the mountains. A lot of good people too. As always your content is awesome. Thank you and please continue what you do! Love to Zillah, Toppenish and Granger!
Thanks Mike for covering this! This was our house in Cowiche that this incident happened in. I grew up here until high school, and shortly after moving to Moses Lake, this happened. Was so surreal to think someone had their thoat slit in my parents bedroom, where I spent so much time running around. Poor guy.
Woohoo thanks for all your hard work Mike! We appreciate you 🖤
Oh my goodness! A story from my actual neighborhood! I enjoy you so much Mike. Keep up the good work!

I'm here for ya Mike!! I LOVE your videos!! I remember when you first started, and I have to say that you've REALLY grown into an awesome story teller!! 💜✌🏼
Yay, you kept your nice new background! I love the original the most, of course, but this one is a very close second! You're the best, Mike! And I saw your post from about 7 hours or so ago, and I have to tell you, you are so truly talented. I have genuine love and care for you (but not in a creepy-stalkery way at all) and wish only good things for you. You're just the best, Mike! Merry Christmas to you and yours. Much love coming to you from Phoenix, Arizona, USA.
Lol -the " non-creepy" kinda love, me too
Just exactly what she said, Mike, love you so much.
I really hope we all have that “non-creepy” type of love for him, as he deserves it from his fans.
He never lets us down and he always portrays these cases with genuine emotion and a little bit of humor; as needed and delivered in a respectable manner.
I have been here for quite a few years and I’ll keep coming back as long as Mike wants to share these videos with us.
Much love from your Pennsylvanian fans, in the good ‘ole USA. 🤞🏻🥰😊
Agreed!!
@@melissadunton3534 i 100% agree. Sometimes i do see comments that say Mike's delivery in general is disrespectful. I don't see it, heh.🤷🏼♀️
I started following you a few years ago when you were shy and you told fantastic stories. I didn't subscribe until you gave ME (lol) the "wink". After that I couldn't wait to watch again.....and again.....and again. You captured my heart with just a wink and I am forever yours! And now, years later, you still give ME that precious wink and I am so grateful. You always make me smile at the end even after horrific stories. Thank you for that! Love ya............
Being from Seattle, I will never get tired of hearing people who aren’t from Washington pronounce the names of our cities/counties lol. 😂 You actually did a surprisingly good job! Honestly, you did better than a lot of people who are from the US lol.

I think I saw this on Dateline awhile ago. I just remember being totally shocked that POS ex-daughter-in-law basically got away w/ her part. Sickening. I just don’t understand people.
She did get away but I truly hope her kids got taken from her and grow up to kno the type of person she is
Can you imagine being the ex husband? It must be even more surreal.
She has a V. The legal system are kind to this gender. It's a complete mess.
It's because it's the Pacific Northwest. Very liberal. They don't believe in jailing the guilty. They coddle them. I know, I live there.
@jasonvoorhees5640
Says the horror show douche.
This makes me so sad! There are some very wicked people in this world. If someone didn’t deserve this it was Vern! RIP💜💜💜
“ It’s a place….. that exists…..”. I love your descriptions of places. They are funny as heck. Great work Mike ! 💙💙💙
This is so sad. I would have loved to have a father in law like Vern, who obviously loved his family. Some just didn’t realize it. You just can’t trust family can you? They will f**k you harder than anyone you know, or hire someone to….😢 take care Mike! Great story again!!
Hi Catherine was real family she was just a piece of ass that Vern s son picked up off the streets pardon my French whose only real worth were her children, if you ask me, she is no real family but her kids were Vern's grandchildren he was their grandpa and I hope Vern's boy has sole custody of those kids abdci hope they grew up despising their mother as the scum she is
Facts!
You know you're old when by Friday evening, you just want Tuesday to come with a new episode of that chapter.
Great new video as usual! 👏 Poor Vern, this made feel so angry and upset for him and his family 😓🙏
On another note...I am also so grateful to see and hear again - let's give it a goo and then the guitar music, i missed that so much! Thanks Mike 👍💜
Whoa! I used to live in Yakima & this is the first I’ve heard of this story! Thanks for covering it Mike!!
I really love I came across this channel, Mike is super light hearted/humours and respectful with the sensitive content; I followed on all social media accts as well.
Hey Mike, love ya! Wish you can cover the story of Arthur Labinjo Hughes. This poor boy's story needs to be shared. It's the least we can do for him. No one protected him in his short short life..... we owe him
Arthur's tragic story is just so sad and horrible. That poor little boy, my heart breaks. I find the cases involving children so hard, especially when there was long term terrible suffering. Victoria Climbie, Tesslynn O'Cull, Maria Colwell, Daniel Pelka, Baby P, Arthur Labinjo Hughes, Gabriel Fernandez, Baby Brianna, the list is sadly so long, the facts of each case so hard to bear.
I love the expression “I hear you barking big dog”.
Hi Mishka, we love every chapter of that chapter 😆😆😆

Good luck though, I know me and the rest of That Chapter fans are proud of you :) It won’t always be easy, but keep going!

Hadn’t heard about this case in quite some time, still makes me just as angry and sad for this man…seemed like someone who would just help and help people he cared about, and it bit him in the end 😢
I love how Mike doesn't use a bunch of filler imagery (Like Steve Stockton, etc!) that is just background visual noise. Mike's personality and him actually narrating with legit photos / videos is legit. Don't lose it, Mike!

Damn right we do. He'd be the best husband , I'm sure. I love Mike oh.
glad you’re getting sponsored - and appreciate how you do it! :)
I lived in Cowiche for a dozen years a decade ago when this event happened. Nice rural setting full of apple orchards tucked in the foothills of the Cascade mountains. One of the biggest apple orchardist and packer in the world originated from there. Nice place to raise kids and far enough away from Yakima to avoid long history of trouble. This story was an anomaly for the most part.
It's a great small town. Mike missed an oppurtunity with the "Yakima, the Palm Springs of Washington"
What a treat to have 2 videos in 1 week! Thanks, Mike!
Jill, the former daughter-in-law, is a total piece of 🗑 for doing Vern like that. What a good man, continuing support to her even after a divorce from his son. I can't help but to connect that her children are his grandkids! I feel for everyone who experienced this senseless loss, especially her children. They're going to spend the rest of their lives knowing their Mom helped to murder their Grandpa...damn.
Drug addiction=Bad choices y'all!
She’s a piece of waste basket?
So often the prosecution has to make deals with the devils and in this case these two horrendous women were devils! Too bad Vern couldn't have made some sort of a deathbed ID on this immigrant murderer!
Being beaten to death is already gruesome in itself, but doing that and slicing his throat open is another level of disgusting and heartlessness. I hope all perpetrators involved rot in hell
How vile! Poor Vern and his family. The leaving him broke my heart. That life insurance would have me running to a barrister immediately getting that Holden guy under control. I’m still so sad about this man suffered! My da is 78 and in the back of my mind throughout listening. What a lot of oxygen thieves, I hope they all suffer miserably throughout the remainder of their miserable lives.
This was the first time I have heard about this case. It was sad to hear that ex daughter in law was involved considering how he continued to look upon her as being family after she divorced from his son. That is shocking to me and so bloody senseless. I can't imagine how the remaining felt when finding this out.
When you say “hey you” it makes me smile, every time!
My neighbor Paul's black lab, Oakley, barks whenever she catches me refilling the bird feeders in my backyard. Thanks to you, Mike, I now loudly reply, "I hear you barking, big dog!"
Your channel was recommended to me a few months ago...and I'm hooked...but it's funny watching your evolution from quite restrained to almost class clown...and all throughout getting the main points across...and your background is perfect....
It’s really annoying the women got off. Can’t imagine how poor Vern’s family feel. A hardworking, dedicated family man close to enjoying his retirement should not have to suffer like this because people feel entitled to his well earned success. RIP 💙
it makes me smile every time you say " Let's give it a gooo" thanks for all your work! Today I am under the weather and a bit sad, listening to you is a nice feeling. I like the mystery and getting amased by the stories, sometimes getting sad or angry, but the real deal I come here because of Mike :)
God bless 🙏 you Me too loves Mike's *let,s give it a good* Hope lifes treating you extremely kindly God bless you+yours,🌞✳️🌞✳️🌞✳️🙏
Me, too! I love the way Mike tells these crime stories.
I love watching your videos. I'm a little under the weather at the moment and these oddly brighten my day.
Hope you feel better soon!

Another great video, Mike. I had never heard of this case before. How terribly sad that a person who devotes his life to helping others end up like this sweet old man.💔💔
