you reminded me of something my great friend a WW2 vet gone now but never forgotten.....he told horror stories but one thing he said was "I will never understand man's inhumanity to men" he went to the Lord i miss him
And it's for that very reason that I absolutely can't wait to exit this ugly, hateful, God forsaken world. For real. I mean, I've only been here a measly 54 years instead of 70 like yourself and leaving this plane of existence is literally the only thing left to look forward to.
I can’t even imagine how terrified those poor kids were in their last moments. Nobody deserves what they went through, let alone an innocent young couple for absolutely no reason.
It's a pain I can't imagine, and my heart is with you all. This is his societal justice, and his karmic justice will continue and I hope that brings some peace ❤️ It's why I love this channel and Mike, he memorializes the slain and allows for the space to hate the sin and/or the sinner 🙏🏾❤️
Mike, I gotta say one of the biggest reasons I love your content is how passionate you are about the victims and how you truly voice your disgust, your honest disgust, for the garbage piles that commit these crimes. We all feel the same way, we can relate to that raw emotion and we love how you show respect to the victims but still make us laugh each and every week. I'm looking forward to 4 more years. Keep doing what you do. We love ya brother.
The way he makes you laugh? Aww such a sycophantic comment and yet Mike still hasn't given you a little heart yet. Don't worry I am sure he will. "we love how you show respect to the victims but still make us laugh each and every week" Respecting them how? By disparaging the communities they grew up in and referring to their towns as "ghost towns" @ 0:18 ? "It's a ghost town, and that name will certainly be fitting in all the ways you know I mean" Is that the respect for the victims you refer to? That chapter does what is does and is successful in doing it. I have no problem with that at all, but the vomit inducing, self centred, sycophancy that gets posted in the comments highlights the absolute worst of the blinkered, virtue signalling society that we live in.
I knew Breezy in high school. She was such a sweet, kind person. I watched the verdict and it just made me sick to see the monster that Jerrod is sitting there smiling. RIP Breezy and Riley. 💔
I’m sorry you lost your friend Breezy. It’s a heartbreaking story. It is maddening and unfortunate that the evil blob of flesh jerad, and his pos accomplice, Morgan, weren’t given the same treatment they perpetrated on those two beautiful young adults Breezy and Riley. The death penalty was created for malignant killers like jerad. It is disgusting that morgan was not arrested and jailed for a long time. During her testimony she did not seem affected one bit by the violent and tragic deaths of Riley and Breezy.
I'm very sorry for your loss!!! And don't worry, in prison Jerrod won't be keeping that smile on his face for too much longer!!!! R.I.P. Breezy & Riley!
It's just so awful to think of how scared those kids must have been and it's so heartbreaking that they were killed over a mans stupid insecurities of not being in enough power. RIP Riley and Breezey.
@@Ariadne76-k3dWhich is probably why he picked her.....lonely, easy to control, "you should be happy to be with me" some people target women just like her
The bad jokes are one of the absolute highlights, Mike. I listen to these while I'm doing data entry stuff on my remote work days and believe me, your playfulness is one of the things that makes those days the best.
I’m still shaking my head in disbelief, they stop in to say hello to a friend, and get murdered for it! I have tears for those poor kids and their families, some things are just so senseless, and this is one! R.I.P. you two lovely kids. As for you Mike, you tell all the stories so very well, and we love your jokes, so please don’t stop telling them!
Stop IN to say hello to a friend? If they met online and just chatted on Facebook before that day and would meet in person for the first time that day, just because Facebook calls that "friend" does not really mean you are yet friends and we get that old lesson that meeting someone in person for the first time better and safer not be in their home. And before visiting a new friend at their home, we better have some more idea of who they live with, be it boyfriend/girlfriend, mate, or family, and what their attitude would be on the visit.
As someone who lives in the Hellscape known as Utah I’m disturbed at the thought of Morgan walking free! I don’t buy her “babe in the woods” version of events. How did 2 young kids stopping by to have a puff end up dead in the bottom of a mineshaft? My heart aches for their loved ones who now live with unimaginable grief & confusion over the senselessness of why they’re gone. So sad!
I live in Colorado, and she's too close to be comfortable in my opinion, either. She had to have told Justin some lies about the couple to set him off. And she just sat in the car and let him kill them without doing anything because she was scared? 😏 Right.
it's ridiculous how happy it makes me to see this guy roll around with his storytellin' and shenanigans. My pals here on the rez don't get it why I say "tree" instead of "three" now it never fails to make me smile. thx mike. brilliant content - as always.
He's certainly grown into his role. He deserves great success, doesn't take himself seriously, researches really well and is never disrespectful to the people he talks about. Always happy when I see an upload from him!😸
Mike I fell into deep depression last year over losing my best friend of 20yrs, dealing childhood trauma and now heartbroken by my family that live in Ukraine devastated by this war. I came across your channel and binge watch your videos daily. Your humor, your character, your accent all of it makes me laugh and makes my days a little brighter. Your storytelling helps me take my mind off of the stresses in my life and honestly helps me realize that things can be much worse and that life is beautiful. I look forward to your videos every week, thank you for being real and for being you! and the “I love you” at the end of every video is just 🥰🤧 Thank you for such amazing content ❤️
Marina, I'm so sorry for your loss and know the deep struggles of depression. I know it's not much, but you, your childhood friend, and your family and friends with you and back home in Ukraine are all in my prayers. 💜
i literally watch his videos but don't even listen half the time and just rewatch them over and over bc his voice and everything is so comforting for some reaso, i've probably watched some videos 10 times 😂
Marina..🥺 I have loved ones in Poland. They welcomed a Ukraine refugee. 😟 I can't even imagine. Losing everyone and everything that you love. 😭 You stand alone. Or so you believe. So believe this Marina- with your depression - you're not alone. I wish you, peace healing and health. ❤️✌️
It's so terrifying to see my kids grow up and know what people are like. I will worry every moment of my life that they might cross paths with monsters like this.
Don’t let it debilitate you 😞 this is a very rare thing to happen. Raise your kids right and be close to them and this is almost guaranteed not to happen. Just want to say don’t let it make you scared of everything if that makes sense.
Maybe stop consuming content that heightens your paranoia. It's okay to know what might possibly happen and to be careful, but you should be aware of how rare it is.
@@nif82 rare or not worry comes with the job I love my children and now they are grown adults I have to step back and let them spread their wings but that doesn't mean I can't still worry about them or be concerned
I love how you are straight to the point about the FxxxxxG scumbag perpetrators that you talk about! You're not afraid to tell it how it really is, and you say it in such a way that you make me smile every time, even when the cases are heavy and harrowing to listen to. And for that Sir, I thank you. And I hope you know WE LOVE YOU TOO X
Here we are, indeed, and here we shall stay. My husband and I discovered your channel together about 3 years ago and have stayed ever since. This past February, my sweet man passed away. Now I make sure to stay all the way to the end of every video to hear that you love us and get the wink. You keep me going, Mike. Being able to share some time twice a week with you is something I really look forward to. I take a minute to be thankful for all my husband and I shared and our mutual admiration for all you do! What you do matters Mike. I can"t adequately express how much what you do matters to me. Thank you, and I"ll keep stopping by to see what"s in the next ol" video!
Yikes - what a creeper vibe your post gives off. If you were a man, you'd be arrested for stalking. Seek professional help - Mike is not your friend or even your acquaintance.
I think your post was lovely. Don’t pay attention to the other comment. I know how hard loss is and how the most random things, even a “stranger” can bring a sense of comfort…. Especially since watching Mike was something you had in common. I’m sorry for your loss. I’m glad that you can find happiness and comfort wherever you can. ❤️ I’m so sorry for your loss. PS One thing is very clear with Mike….and that’s how much he appreciates his followers. I’m sure he appreciated your story. He works very hard to research and put out two stories a week. He wouldn’t do it if people didn’t care.
@@GiantsWS it’s just as easy to say something kind to someone as to write something mean. Every one of us is dealing with some kind of struggle (even you I’m sure). Isn’t it better to maybe not make someone’s life worse even for a few seconds? 😊
I'm sorry for your loss, I hope your husband didn't suffer. Don't listen to other's who just want to be downies, if Mike is one of your coping mechanisms then keep watching, whatever helps you get through this minute so you can face the next minute. It only has to work for you, besides I'm not going through so much as a hiccup compared to you, but I find myself getting a little excited as he starts his end run, and for some strange reason even though I wink and say it at the same time as Mike "coz I love ya" I actually feel a little bit shy simply because I can tell he is feeling a tad shy when he says it still, even after all this time. Anyways I hope you have a good support system around you, 1 minute at a time, 1 step at a time and 2 "because I love ya" Mike's per week. Xx
I did not see that at all. But she is detached, which is not surprising at all. I would not feel safe around her, unless she'd been through years of good therapy.
I cannot believe that he was released in the first place. If he had been kept in prison, this horrible heinous awful crime would not have happened and those poor kids would still be alive today. May they RIP. Condolences to their family and friends. Love your channel Mike. You are awesome💙
Personally, I never know which cases hit me the hardest, but imagining the final moments of these poor kids really got me going. I'm glad I never miss a second of these videos cause 'SNAP SNAP!' was the perfect comic relief and my reaction to it matched Mike's perfectly. Love you too, Mike!
i was friends with breezy in real life went with high school with her, she was such an amazing person we used to hangout alot at our local bowling alley in Tooele,UT Hangout in my car with other friends just cruising main street in Tooele, i will cherish those memories for the rest of my life rest easy too the both of them. ❤
The way Mike introduced this lovely couple, I knew and dreaded the fact they would be the victims. No motive indeed, just a chance to do evil. Love you back Mike!
I wish I had a dime for every time I mumble “He’s so cute…” while watching your videos. You make a yucky topic so refreshing with your humor, passion and honesty. Thanks Mike!
Imagine being so insecure as a 41 year old man that seeing your girlfriend hanging out with a teenage couple enrages you to the point of murdering them. Also, imagine being so calloused as an older woman that you follow along and watch your p.o.s. boyfriend do this to the young couple and never try to stop him or do the right thing. Insane.
@@antisocialal4799 Any chance of an apology from you, for being so wrong and accusing that evil Woman, Morgan.... of being the Mother of that poor murdered 17 year old Girl??
It’s seems like Morgan was enjoying her testimony. That doesn’t seem like a woman that felt guilt and trauma from witnessing such a brutal crime. She needs to be monitored at all times.
She seems highly suspicious! Hard to believe anything she says. Easy to think she either had a part in it or was the one responsible. Hopefully someone else doesn't have to suffer because of her.
Please DON’T stop the jokes. I love them. I know that’s a weird thing to say since you’re talking about the most horrendous murders but but it really adds to the telling.
From a google search: “Jerrod Baum was sentenced to four consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole Thursday, nearly two months after he was convicted of kidnapping and killing a teenage couple in 2017 and throwing their bodies down a mine shaft.”
Why should murder and death be bearable? If you find death and murder details entertaining then why should it be made bearable?! Deal with it! Someone dying should never be bearably entertaining.
I'm always disgusted with people who know the truth and lie to the detectives, allow families, volunteers and law enforcement to spend so much time and energy looking for the victims, prolonging and spreading misery.
Seems kinda cold. Circumstance can play a part, fearing for yours or your loved ones safety comes to mind. We're only human besides, not everyone can have strength, or survival skills to keep you from winding up in a similar situation. My point is, victims don't plan to become victims, you can still have your retribution, but that shouldn't keep us from practicing empathy from time to time. If I'd have gone through a similar situation to this case, I can't guarantee I'd be able to find much empathy either. Sorry for hijacking your comment just thought I'd share some perspective.
@@TGo-n-Roscoe Mate that's really not an excuse. Fearing for the safety of your family is even more of a reason to tell the police the truth, because if you're that scared do you know who the only people that can help you are? THE POLICE... Your excuse makes no senae.
@Fitz The problem is the police aren't with you 24-7 and if you start telling stories once the cops have what they need your on your own and alot of guys like this have many "friends" willing to retaliate for them so its not always that easy. You never heard the saying when seconds matter the cops are minutes away?
Mike we ALL love your jokes, its what gets us through! There is no such thing as a 'bad' Mike joke either - We LOVE you, every idiosyncratic bit of you! :)
100% agreed. Someone in another video suggested that there be a best of reel for his jokes and I for one would LOVE to see one. If I knew how to do it any justice, I'd give it a go! :P
My wife grew up in that area and we currently live about an hour north of Eureka. We also love to go 4 wheeling in our Jeep and are very familiar with this area. There are literally hundreds, thousands of old mines! Most of the bigger one’s are capped off now but many are big enough to toss a body down. If it wasn’t for that gal getting pulled over and telling the cops they’d still be in that hole I’m afraid. Great show Mike! 👍
Mike is my favorite person on RUclips ! You always have just enough facts and videos of the cases with out overdoing ,and the little “bad jokes” (which are never bad) are what makes and unbearable story bearable ! I am so excited for you to just keep going up with all the subscribers and likes , and be over a million now , I have been here since the beginning and part of what makes your video’s great is that you don’t have to remind everyone a thousand times to hit the like button or subscribe you just do what you do and it works great for you!! ❤️❤️
@@lauraowen8142 YES! I would hands down, put them on the same #1 tier for me. Both truly unique, and both can deliver the worst news in the best, most watchable way possible 😊
It is always so sad to hear about these tragedies. You do these families and people a great service by getting their stories out to the world. Keep it up Mike.
Thank you for all the videos long time watcher (3-4 years like clock work lol). Keep up the good work you have one of the best channels in true crime (I’m partial your my favorite the wife likes the murder with my husband pod cast and you get number 2 slot lol).
Either "That Chapter" is being held hostage or he didnt want to tell a joke at the start of the video because of how dark this case is. Thank you for covering all the cases that you do
I have watched many of Mike's stories, possibly all of them, and this one is top there with the ones that shocked me the most. I must say it was not easy to hold back my tears when I heard this boy's last words were "I'm dying" in between gurgles. My heart just broke into a million pieces and I die a little only imagining the father's and aunt's pain. I have two boys and just thinking of something like this destroys me. Rest in piece, kiddos, we love you ❤🤍🖤
That was very sickening when he did to that little boy and a little girl he felt his self dying and I felt it right along with him and I'm sure everybody else did too it was horrible, it's sad when people do the one another it said how Satan takes over someone and it's so easy for them to be so foolish Mike and my condolences go out to his whole family and I am very very sorry and you being my prayers forever and ever
You’re one of the few True Crime RUclipsrs I still watch. You find the perfect balance between respect and humour, and I love you for that. Most people sensationalise the cases way too much, but you manage to keep it contained while still making it interesting!
I love the way you tell us about these horrendous crimes with the odd humour dotted in to make it easy on the ear.. there is so much evil in this world and yet you get it across in a unique way with your wonderful accent to :) heres to many more years of your channel going strong :) Thankyou from the UK :)
They may have just stopped by to buy a bag of weed from that lady and decided to burn one, who knows...I can't count or even remember all the times I was in a weird situation like that when I was young, it's all a blur. It's a miracle I'm pushing 40, clean and sober, breathing air. Life is strange.
Love you too, Mike 🫶🏻😊❤️ I’m sure we all are just as grateful that you keep sharing new videos as you are grateful for us watching them, i really love your videos, i watch them every day 😊👍🏻
The majority of the time when I hear a RUclips content creator say "thank you" or something to that effect I don't believe them. Mike on the other hand seems very genuine. Thank you for all the stories Mike. I think I have listened to all of them. (Even the captain foil hat one's)
When people don't understand why we watch true crime videos this is part of the reason! Trying desperately to understand why this stuff happens and how to prevent more!
Morgan’s testimony in court was chilling. She is clearly feigning remorse and horror when describing the events. She puts her hand up to her face to disguise her true emotion, which looked like a smirk. Beyond chilling!!
I’m going to reserve my judgment either way. She could simply be traumatized, and afraid of her abvser in court… I sure as hell would be after living with that monster for so long. Plus she was the one who volunteered the info to the po po
@@PutinsMommyNeverHuggedHim She only told them everything because they found all those weapons in her vehicle during a traffic stop. I wouldn't really call that volunteering info. Of course, I won't deny that she was probably afraid of him.
She struck me as appearing almost nonchalant in her recounting of events,for someone who's boyfriend had brutally murdered two teenagers,who she knew,right in front of her own eyes,she seems to be quiet unmoved,her affect is very odd,and I noticed that smirk too,I've heard it being referred to as 'Dupers delight'
I feel uneasy about her like she's not telling everything that really happened. The way you deliver these videos are great, jokes in the intro make them more bearable and the way you close always makes me feel a bit lighter after watching such heavy stories so thanks Mike and we will still be with you in another 4 years
She is out there. Also...how don't you know your crazy boyfriend doesn't want people at the house? Soooo, why would you allow someone to come over? Something's rotten. I think she was in on it. I mean...that mofo just wanted to kill someone, IMO. Maybe she gave him what he wanted. Just seems bizarre to me. RIP Breezy and Riley.
Oh man, Mike I couldn't appreciate your wit, delivery, humor, and compassion more! Especially of note in this case: your comments on old Norse religions is so valued. Those of us that practice these various older/pre Christian-Judeo faiths are so tired of inaccurate reporting & portrayals in the media. It's refreshing to see comments be spot on, thank you 😊🙏
I remember this story on the True Crime Daily some years back and like most cases you cover, this is sad. Glad you covered this because when it comes down to details and investigation, you are unmatched. Safe travels.
Did they end up looking into his tattoos and whether there were missing people with those initials? Will always watch your vids Mike because you are just so genuine and professional
@@asdfdsaiskewl Just a white supremacist trying to deflect blame from a fellow white supremacist by claiming he was jewish. Violent nutcases that should be put down, the lot of them.
Something is wrong with... both of these strange, sociopathic people: Jerrod AND Morgan. She should NEVER have been given a plea deal that included no prison term! As for Jerrod -- I have no words.... 😡
I think one of them definitely is a psychopath/sociopath... I dont believe two people of the same bad psychological mould can be together... is the right one incarcerated tho?
Don’t you worry, life on the outside will not be a cakewalk for her. She’s be better off inside. She’ll soon see this. Justice come is many forms. Loneliness and isolation is a bitch.
God bless you Breezy and Riley. How horrendous. Can you imagine being their family members having to sit through the testimony and hear how they were scared and in pain and died? It breaks my heart.
It really kills me . I don’t understand how parents manage to remain stoic and don’t try to choke this SOB right there in the court … I must be too passionate . You kill my kid: I don’t care if I go to jail, I’ll try to murder you slowly
They very clearly weren't blessed... And if God was real, their deaths would be part of "His Plan" wouldn't it? That's very insensitive for you to say and bring up God for no reason, even if you didn't mean for it to be insensitive in that way.
I go back in time ahold these two souls as this monster takes life from them. I hold them in their fear and replace it with peace and serenity. My heart is in sadness as I hear this tragedy. Thank you like for your time and approach, Mike. "No biggie" is the best I have ever heard.
This was an especially sad one. It for some reason hit a little harder. Mike, your channel is my favorite. Thank You for your time, your humor and just being that guy!
You have the right balance between every thing : serious yet funny, music but light and not loud, narration and images. Every thing is right with That Chapter
Never wait if you feel someone has gone missing. Waiting three days is a myth. Call and start searching. The more time goes by the less chance of finding them safely.
Yes, and if the police blow you off, keep calling different resources/political people/the news/etc.The police aren't the only people you can call. Somebody will listen, keep trying. I've never had to go through this, but I do know the police often blow people off and think it is nothing (esp with drug, transient, or runaway histories).
So sad and so senseless! Rip to the victims…my thoughts and prayers are with their families that lives Were affected by such an awful senseless loss. The life they could be living right now maybe married with little ones or whatever road they could’ve taken and that sicko took that away from them. So Heartbreaking!!!
We love you Michael because you're a great story teller, who knows how to soften the blow when you inform us about the horrendous flaws in mankind. That's why we keep watching.🖤
It's a lot easier to convict when the death penalty is off the table, and there's no automatic appeal. IMnsHO, it's better to just put him in prison and let him rot there. The death penalty is sure an easier way out.
You Americans have to stop being like the Islamic and the communist countries that still have death penalties. Be like the rest of the world. Be civilized.
Wow, that's just insane. I just don't understand what makes ppl think they can just kill others, no matter the age, and live like nobody's gonna know it's them that committed those terrible, senseless murders. Very sad to lose children of any age. I feel that his GF Morgan pressed the issue of having ppl in the house to see how far her bf would take it, and she should've been charged as well. Great video as always Mike 👍🏼😊 you take care of yourself and have fun on your trip 🙏🏼🙏🏼
That’s what I was thinking too! If Morgan knew not to have any other men around after his threat, I wonder why she pressed her luck and knowingly endangered the teens anyway.
@@capnobvious2718 Exactly! Hopefully she got some psychiatric help while she was in jail. After all, she was in jail for awhile. She probably wasn't in a relationship with that horrible man because she loved him, she probably felt like she didn't have a choice.
@@kkstep2722 it definitely does happen, yet I'm sure she could've gotten assistance from a woman's charity that helps relocate abused women, she could've asked her family for help, too. Although I do think there's some mental challenges Morgan needed help for, and who knows?! This all could've been avoided.
@@capnobvious2718 You're right. I guess the time she did spend in jail made her realize that she is more important than being someone's punching bag, under mental duress, etc. Thanks @Cap'n Obvious 👍🏼😀
I re-watch them a lot. Mike, you always bring some personality into the mix and it helps while you report these horrible things that go down in our world. Love how you sign off and how you introduce the topic for each vid. You've got a great presence in front of the camera. You keep filming, we'll keep watching. ;)
I can't live without your videos. I watch while I get ready for work and I watch on my 30 minute lunch break. Love ya! I even bought a "that chapter" tee. It's my favorite thing!! So comfy. Thank you for being you
At the end you remark about how your surprise that people still tune in to follow you. The old saying just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean I'm not being followed. Videos like this remind us that predators are around us every day and all it takes is one wrong turn or one bad decision and you're a memory. RUclips's like yours remind us that the wolf does smile when he sizing you up for dinner I hope more people watch it and wake up.
How do psychos that are clearly a threat to society keep getting released from jail. The amount of people that have died from the failure of the judicial system is unacceptable. It needs to change.
This was incredibly heartbreaking and tragic. Unfortunately, there are many many evil and sadistic people out there who are willing to kill just for the sake of it. I’ll never understand what drives a person to make the decision to end someone’s life. My heart goes out to the families of both breezy and Riley, I can’t imagine how they must be feeling.
Thank you Mike. You are a treasure and a credit to the human race. Your ability to tell the story respectfully and still make me giggle at the jabs to the bad guys is so refreshing! Keep doing you good sir, and thank you again! ❤️
I hope you get to see this Mike @thatchapter , but watching your transformation from a shy and awkward guy to this hilarious gentleman has been as amazing as all your content. At the beginnings and ends of this podcast, all of those that love you say the words with you -because we love you. Thank you so so much. I really appreciate you taking the time to be with us. Here go on, take care, because we love you💜
Is it crazy that when I miss a few episodes, that I binge watch them IN ORDER, even though there isn't a sequence? Lol 🤣 Thanks for posting something I actually enjoy watching/listening to....which is hard with me :)
Your bad jokes are the highlights of my days sometimes, Mike! All the years I've been watching True Crime, you're still my favorite. I'll be here, watching your videos until the day you decide to stop making them, then I'll watch reruns!
Apparently she had dated Riley, who was only 18. It feels like she lured sheep to slaughter, having her ex over after seemingly agreeing with her current boyfriend to not have male friends.
I have to say I love the fact that you are consistent with the beginning and ending of these ol' videos and you're ability to always balance humor and horror, thank you for loving us Mike
"I'm dying." 😢😢😢 And he wasn't even allowed to kiss Breezy. Horrible, horrible, horrible. Those nice and cutely in love teens. What a monster! But again you can see how he was escalating over the years up to a hideous murder. And that Morgan dust mop is as evil as him just watching and not trying to stop him from killing these two young people. Awful case
How was she supposed to 'try to stop him'? Just how do you begin to reason w a large, unreasonable, murderous psychopath? Would things be better if she were the 3rd body in the mine? Cuz that's probly where 'trying to stop him' would've landed her.
These acts of violence are horrendous and my heart goes out to the families and friends of the victims. I do have to say Mike, I so enjoy your humor and the way you describe these types of stories.
I’m sure everybody laughed at “No big deal”, but it was “…someone who loved being a big evil bastard” that cracked me up. I think one of the reasons we love your videos so much is that you can report on these grim goddamn cases and add just enough levity to make it bearable, while never making light of the victims or the grief-stricken. I watch a lot of true crime and you’re the only one who manages to pull this off. Also, you’re the only one who does the life insurance dance, so there’s that, too.
i can't imagine how scared they were in their last hours. for once i actually believe the perpetrator's partner, that she was scared of him too. Breezy and Riley deserved so much better than this.
The sick part is that she was in on all of it, me and the rest of our family have talked, and we know in our hearts that she lead them to him, he had told her specifically not to bring another male back to their house with her, and she did, knowing what he would do, keep in mind this man already had a dangerous history and she had a history too, Utah does a good job on hiding crucial details.
@@spooderdude5949 i would be interested to learn about her history. other than the fact that she didn't turn him in immediately, she seemed to be genuinely scared of him and not in on it, but of course i could be wrong.
@@aurorawolfe6060 she was playing victim the whole time she knew what she was doing, and I'm pretty sure he planned it with her. He just wasn't planning on her dumping everything on him, you don't just invite a group of kids back to your house after your husband has specifically told you no males around, especially if that husband has a violent history she was trying to get someone hurt that day, and if I ever see her, I will give her quite the talk I would never lay fists on her, but I definitely would love for her to know the damage she has done to the families that have lost these amazing individuals.

you reminded me of something my great friend a WW2 vet gone now but never forgotten.....he told horror stories but one thing he said was "I will never understand man's inhumanity to men" he went to the Lord i miss him
Yes , unfortunately very true💗🌻
And it's for that very reason that I absolutely can't wait to exit this ugly, hateful, God forsaken world. For real. I mean, I've only been here a measly 54 years instead of 70 like yourself and leaving this plane of existence is literally the only thing left to look forward to.
That’s why I stopped believing in God a long time ago. Homo Sapiens is no divine creation…just a highly evolved animal with killing instincts
I can’t even imagine how terrified those poor kids were in their last moments. Nobody deserves what they went through, let alone an innocent young couple for absolutely no reason.
so many times I have to stop watching them because I dont want to know..... IDK how people are so evil....

What is wrong w him?!?
Thank you for sharing their story, Mike. We miss these two dearly. This month is the five year anniversary of their heinous deaths.
It's a pain I can't imagine, and my heart is with you all. This is his societal justice, and his karmic justice will continue and I hope that brings some peace ❤️
It's why I love this channel and Mike, he memorializes the slain and allows for the space to hate the sin and/or the sinner 🙏🏾❤️
My heart hurts for you and all the family members! They both seemed to be good kids! Prayers for comfort for all of you! 🙏
sending lots of love & healing to you & their loved ones. i’m so sorry.
I'm so sorry for your loss, Amanda ❤️❤️❤️ I can't imagine. They were just kids. Breezy-You were very much loved!! ❤️❤️❤
Very very sad case. A young couple living their best life meet up with evil
Mike, I gotta say one of the biggest reasons I love your content is how passionate you are about the victims and how you truly voice your disgust, your honest disgust, for the garbage piles that commit these crimes. We all feel the same way, we can relate to that raw emotion and we love how you show respect to the victims but still make us laugh each and every week. I'm looking forward to 4 more years. Keep doing what you do. We love ya brother.
What True said. ❤️
The way he makes you laugh?
Aww such a sycophantic comment and yet Mike still hasn't given you a little heart yet.
Don't worry I am sure he will.
"we love how you show respect to the victims but still make us laugh each and every week"
Respecting them how?
By disparaging the communities they grew up in and referring to their towns as "ghost towns"
@ 0:18 ? "It's a ghost town, and that name will certainly be fitting in all the ways you know I mean" Is that the respect for the victims you refer to?
That chapter does what is does and is successful in doing it.
I have no problem with that at all, but the vomit inducing, self centred, sycophancy that gets posted in the comments highlights the absolute worst of the blinkered, virtue signalling society that we live in.

You need serious psychological help.
It takes someone with a great gift to mix comedy and tragedy and still respect the victim’s.
That's what makes Mike so good.

Yes!
There’s no one else like him!

I knew Breezy in high school. She was such a sweet, kind person. I watched the verdict and it just made me sick to see the monster that Jerrod is sitting there smiling. RIP Breezy and Riley. 💔
I’m sorry you lost your friend Breezy. It’s a heartbreaking story. It is maddening and unfortunate that the evil blob of flesh jerad, and his pos accomplice, Morgan, weren’t given the same treatment they perpetrated on those two beautiful young adults Breezy and Riley.
The death penalty was created for malignant killers like jerad. It is disgusting that morgan was not arrested and jailed for a long time. During her testimony she did not seem affected one bit by the violent and tragic deaths of Riley and Breezy.
im so sorry
I'm very sorry for your loss!!! And don't worry, in prison Jerrod won't be keeping that smile on his face for too much longer!!!! R.I.P. Breezy & Riley!
sorry for your loss💐
I'm sorry condolences.
It's just so awful to think of how scared those kids must have been and it's so heartbreaking that they were killed over a mans stupid insecurities of not being in enough power. RIP Riley and Breezey.
Exactly. And it's not like Morgan was some irresistible beauty queen.

The bad jokes are one of the absolute highlights, Mike. I listen to these while I'm doing data entry stuff on my remote work days and believe me, your playfulness is one of the things that makes those days the best.
Especially loved the penis joke at the end! Lol 😂
@@cherylsurplice1417 was just about to say: "no biggie" 😂😂😂😂
I’m still shaking my head in disbelief, they stop in to say hello to a friend, and get murdered for it! I have tears for those poor kids and their families, some things are just so senseless, and this is one! R.I.P. you two lovely kids.
As for you Mike, you tell all the stories so very well, and we love your jokes, so please don’t stop telling them!
Stop IN to say hello to a friend? If they met online and just chatted on Facebook before that day and would meet in person for the first time that day, just because Facebook calls that "friend" does not really mean you are yet friends and we get that old lesson that meeting someone in person for the first time better and safer not be in their home. And before visiting a new friend at their home, we better have some more idea of who they live with, be it boyfriend/girlfriend, mate, or family, and what their attitude would be on the visit.
@@cassiopeiathetortoise115 nah I saw they met in a gas station and exchanged facebooks, pretty weird for Morgan to try and hangout with kids
@@user-lz2ht9of4l That still means they were not friends. Right?
@@cassiopeiathetortoise115 you don’t seem to grasp what friends are.

As someone who lives in the Hellscape known as Utah I’m disturbed at the thought of Morgan walking free! I don’t buy her “babe in the woods” version of events. How did 2 young kids stopping by to have a puff end up dead in the bottom of a mineshaft? My heart aches for their loved ones who now live with unimaginable grief & confusion over the senselessness of why they’re gone. So sad!
I live in Colorado, and she's too close to be comfortable in my opinion, either. She had to have told Justin some lies about the couple to set him off. And she just sat in the car and let him kill them without doing anything because she was scared? 😏 Right.
I just said this, I feel like she got away with murder.
I believe that she was far more involved in what happened than she claimed to be as well.
it's ridiculous how happy it makes me to see this guy roll around with his storytellin' and shenanigans. My pals here on the rez don't get it why I say "tree" instead of "three" now it never fails to make me smile. thx mike. brilliant content - as always.
I feel the same way.
The appropriate term is “blarney” - Mike’s loaded with it
So true! Such a likeable man, and great story teller. Love ya too Mike!
Let’s give it a goooo!!!!🙂🙂🙂
He's certainly grown into his role. He deserves great success, doesn't take himself seriously, researches really well and is never disrespectful to the people he talks about. Always happy when I see an upload from him!😸
Mike I fell into deep depression last year over losing my best friend of 20yrs, dealing childhood trauma and now heartbroken by my family that live in Ukraine devastated by this war. I came across your channel and binge watch your videos daily. Your humor, your character, your accent all of it makes me laugh and makes my days a little brighter. Your storytelling helps me take my mind off of the stresses in my life and honestly helps me realize that things can be much worse and that life is beautiful. I look forward to your videos every week, thank you for being real and for being you! and the “I love you” at the end of every video is just 🥰🤧 Thank you for such amazing content ❤️
Hope things are better @Marina D. Sometimes we just need to hear it.
Marina, I'm so sorry for your loss and know the deep struggles of depression. I know it's not much, but you, your childhood friend, and your family and friends with you and back home in Ukraine are all in my prayers. 💜
@@killerlalu1 I fought depression too for almost 60 years, and am so glad you’ve found a bright spot!
i literally watch his videos but don't even listen half the time and just rewatch them over and over bc his voice and everything is so comforting for some reaso, i've probably watched some videos 10 times 😂
Marina..🥺 I have loved ones in Poland. They welcomed a Ukraine refugee. 😟 I can't even imagine. Losing everyone and everything that you love. 😭 You stand alone. Or so you believe. So believe this Marina- with your depression - you're not alone. I wish you, peace healing and health. ❤️✌️
The amount of evil in the world is beyond disturbing. Stay safe out there.
Oh well. Live with it.
I would say the concentration more so. I personally believe the good far outweighs the bad. a shadow can never out out a light
Get over it
Yeah and that judge didn’t seem to do justice any favors. Wth is wrong w him?!?
Yo mama
It's so terrifying to see my kids grow up and know what people are like. I will worry every moment of my life that they might cross paths with monsters like this.
My fear as well
Don’t let it debilitate you 😞 this is a very rare thing to happen. Raise your kids right and be close to them and this is almost guaranteed not to happen. Just want to say don’t let it make you scared of everything if that makes sense.
Maybe stop consuming content that heightens your paranoia. It's okay to know what might possibly happen and to be careful, but you should be aware of how rare it is.
@@nif82 rare or not worry comes with the job
I love my children and now they are grown adults I have to step back and let them spread their wings but that doesn't mean I can't still worry about them or be concerned
The problem, especially in this case was the teenagers liked a puff of weed, which lead to bad company and a monster.
I love how you are straight to the point about the FxxxxxG scumbag perpetrators that you talk about! You're not afraid to tell it how it really is, and you say it in such a way that you make me smile every time, even when the cases are heavy and harrowing to listen to. And for that Sir, I thank you. And I hope you know WE LOVE YOU TOO X

Mike I personally knew Breezy, she was such a sweet and amazing person thank you for doing this story! 😭😭.
Here we are, indeed, and here we shall stay. My husband and I discovered your channel together about 3 years ago and have stayed ever since. This past February, my sweet man passed away. Now I make sure to stay all the way to the end of every video to hear that you love us and get the wink. You keep me going, Mike. Being able to share some time twice a week with you is something I really look forward to. I take a minute to be thankful for all my husband and I shared and our mutual admiration for all you do! What you do matters Mike. I can"t adequately express how much what you do matters to me. Thank you, and I"ll keep stopping by to see what"s in the next ol" video!
Yikes - what a creeper vibe your post gives off. If you were a man, you'd be arrested for stalking. Seek professional help - Mike is not your friend or even your acquaintance.
I think your post was lovely. Don’t pay attention to the other comment. I know how hard loss is and how the most random things, even a “stranger” can bring a sense of comfort…. Especially since watching Mike was something you had in common. I’m sorry for your loss. I’m glad that you can find happiness and comfort wherever you can. ❤️
I’m so sorry for your loss.
PS One thing is very clear with Mike….and that’s how much he appreciates his followers. I’m sure he appreciated your story. He works very hard to research and put out two stories a week. He wouldn’t do it if people didn’t care.
@@GiantsWS it’s just as easy to say something kind to someone as to write something mean. Every one of us is dealing with some kind of struggle (even you I’m sure). Isn’t it better to maybe not make someone’s life worse even for a few seconds? 😊
I am so sorry for your loss, ignore that Giant arsehole creature in the comments, stay strong
I'm sorry for your loss, I hope your husband didn't suffer.
Don't listen to other's who just want to be downies, if Mike is one of your coping mechanisms then keep watching, whatever helps you get through this minute so you can face the next minute.
It only has to work for you, besides I'm not going through so much as a hiccup compared to you, but I find myself getting a little excited as he starts his end run, and for some strange reason even though I wink and say it at the same time as Mike "coz I love ya" I actually feel a little bit shy simply because I can tell he is feeling a tad shy when he says it still, even after all this time.
Anyways I hope you have a good support system around you, 1 minute at a time, 1 step at a time and 2 "because I love ya" Mike's per week. Xx
Is it just me or does Morgan seem to be enjoying her testimony? Like she’s holding back smiles.
She was trying to not smile with amusement
She should have gotten life as well.
I did not see that at all. But she is detached, which is not surprising at all. I would not feel safe around her, unless she'd been through years of good therapy.
@@kourankono amount if therapy would fix that killer.
I cannot believe that he was released in the first place. If he had been kept in prison, this horrible heinous awful crime would not have happened and those poor kids would still be alive today.
May they RIP. Condolences to their family and friends.
Love your channel Mike. You are awesome💙
Personally, I never know which cases hit me the hardest, but imagining the final moments of these poor kids really got me going. I'm glad I never miss a second of these videos cause
'SNAP SNAP!' was the perfect comic relief and my reaction to it matched Mike's perfectly. Love you too, Mike!
Why do you always break down easier with crimes involving kids rather then adults. There are more adults and they are more important
@@thedesensitizedsympathizer5307 because adults can be evil and manipulative and children are usually more innocent. Lol idk

I wish I had a dime for every time I mumble “He’s so cute…” while watching your videos. You make a yucky topic so refreshing with your humor, passion and honesty. Thanks Mike!
Imagine being so insecure as a 41 year old man that seeing your girlfriend hanging out with a teenage couple enrages you to the point of murdering them.
Also, imagine being so calloused as an older woman that you follow along and watch your p.o.s. boyfriend do this to the young couple and never try to stop him or do the right thing.

It’s seems like Morgan was enjoying her testimony. That doesn’t seem like a woman that felt guilt and trauma from witnessing such a brutal crime. She needs to be monitored at all times.
100%
She seems highly suspicious! Hard to believe anything she says. Easy to think she either had a part in it or was the one responsible. Hopefully someone else doesn't have to suffer because of her.
She’ll kill again
Have you been through something like that?
She was on something ... mushroom?
Please DON’T stop the jokes. I love them. I know that’s a weird thing to say since you’re talking about the most horrendous murders but but it really adds to the telling.
We love you my life wouldnt be the same without you twice a week
From a google search:
“Jerrod Baum was sentenced to four consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole Thursday, nearly two months after he was convicted of kidnapping and killing a teenage couple in 2017 and throwing their bodies down a mine shaft.”
Amen
Mike your bad jokes your humor and sarcasm are what makes these gruesome stories a little bit more bearable ❤️
Why should murder and death be bearable? If you find death and murder details entertaining then why should it be made bearable?! Deal with it! Someone dying should never be bearably entertaining.
100. I relish them.
Mike's jokes are great and needed with these horrific stories.. I've been a fan since 2019, love this channel so much!!
"This picture here tells you really all you need to know about how much he sucks ass" 🤣🤣🤣💀
I'm always disgusted with people who know the truth and lie to the detectives, allow families, volunteers and law enforcement to spend so much time and energy looking for the victims, prolonging and spreading misery.
Same. No empathy. 💔
Seems kinda cold. Circumstance can play a part, fearing for yours or your loved ones safety comes to mind. We're only human besides, not everyone can have strength, or survival skills to keep you from winding up in a similar situation. My point is, victims don't plan to become victims, you can still have your retribution, but that shouldn't keep us from practicing empathy from time to time.
If I'd have gone through a similar situation to this case, I can't guarantee I'd be able to find much empathy either. Sorry for hijacking your comment just thought I'd share some perspective.
Self preservation.
@@TGo-n-Roscoe Mate that's really not an excuse. Fearing for the safety of your family is even more of a reason to tell the police the truth, because if you're that scared do you know who the only people that can help you are? THE POLICE... Your excuse makes no senae.
@Fitz The problem is the police aren't with you 24-7 and if you start telling stories once the cops have what they need your on your own and alot of guys like this have many "friends" willing to retaliate for them so its not always that easy. You never heard the saying when seconds matter the cops are minutes away?
What a complete senseless act. Two young lives stolen in the most horrifying way. My heart goes out to the families. 💔💔
Thanks

My wife grew up in that area and we currently live about an hour north of Eureka. We also love to go 4 wheeling in our Jeep and are very familiar with this area. There are literally hundreds, thousands of old mines! Most of the bigger one’s are capped off now but many are big enough to toss a body down. If it wasn’t for that gal getting pulled over and telling the cops they’d still be in that hole I’m afraid. Great show Mike! 👍

its even worse thinking about the girl, being denied the last kiss, watching him die, knowing shes next or in for worse
Oow yeah should watch some docus about Ivan milat then. Hé is one crazy bastard as well.

Mike has become apart of my life, whether he knows it or not he has helped me deal with the monsters of this world.

Absolutely tragic case. Those poor kids.

Thank You for your time, your humor and just being that guy!
Same. I can't stop shaking my head..
You have the right balance between every thing : serious yet funny, music but light and not loud, narration and images. Every thing is right with That Chapter
Thanks!
Never wait if you feel someone has gone missing. Waiting three days is a myth. Call and start searching. The more time goes by the less chance of finding them safely.
Yes, and if the police blow you off, keep calling different resources/political people/the news/etc.The police aren't the only people you can call. Somebody will listen, keep trying. I've never had to go through this, but I do know the police often blow people off and think it is nothing (esp with drug, transient, or runaway histories).
@@mynameisnothere9465 exactly how serial killers get away. Police are practically the worst when it comes to missing persons. FTP ACAB!
Don't worry Mike, we love your bad jokes, that's why we get together everytime you give us a new ep. Love ya work. Take care
speak for yourself
I love that Mike just gets into the story instead of droning on like a lot of channels.
So sad and so senseless! Rip to the victims…my thoughts and prayers are with their families that lives Were affected by such an awful senseless loss. The life they could be living right now maybe married with little ones or whatever road they could’ve taken and that sicko took that away from them. So Heartbreaking!!!
We love you Michael because you're a great story teller, who knows how to soften the blow when you inform us about the horrendous flaws in mankind. That's why we keep watching.🖤
We don’t just watch your videos, we WAIT for your videos!
Tuesdays and Fridays are the best!
Thanks, Mike!
This case is like a real life version of “The Devils Rejects”
Why this guy did not get the death penalty makes no sense to me
It's a lot easier to convict when the death penalty is off the table, and there's no automatic appeal. IMnsHO, it's better to just put him in prison and let him rot there. The death penalty is sure an easier way out.
Right
You Americans have to stop being like the Islamic and the communist countries that still have death penalties. Be like the rest of the world. Be civilized.
Capital punishment doesn't deter crime.
@@BleedForTheWorld Say’s who? Your liberal professors?
Those poor kids...so much love and life ahead of them ... thinking of them and hope they are together wherever they are. 😪💔
Wow, that's just insane. I just don't understand what makes ppl think they can just kill others, no matter the age, and live like nobody's gonna know it's them that committed those terrible, senseless murders. Very sad to lose children of any age. I feel that his GF Morgan pressed the issue of having ppl in the house to see how far her bf would take it, and she should've been charged as well. Great video as always Mike 👍🏼😊 you take care of yourself and have fun on your trip 🙏🏼🙏🏼
That’s what I was thinking too! If Morgan knew not to have any other men around after his threat, I wonder why she pressed her luck and knowingly endangered the teens anyway.
If she was charged she wouldn't have testified and the killer would still be free. That's just how it works regardless of what's right or wrong.
@@capnobvious2718 Exactly! Hopefully she got some psychiatric help while she was in jail. After all, she was in jail for awhile. She probably wasn't in a relationship with that horrible man because she loved him, she probably felt like she didn't have a choice.
@@kkstep2722 it definitely does happen, yet I'm sure she could've gotten assistance from a woman's charity that helps relocate abused women, she could've asked her family for help, too. Although I do think there's some mental challenges Morgan needed help for, and who knows?! This all could've been avoided.
@@capnobvious2718 You're right. I guess the time she did spend in jail made her realize that she is more important than being someone's punching bag, under mental duress, etc. Thanks @Cap'n Obvious 👍🏼😀
We don't only "still watch" you videos. Most of us re-watch them multiple times. We love you Mike, you crazy bastard
I re-watch them a lot. Mike, you always bring some personality into the mix and it helps while you report these horrible things that go down in our world. Love how you sign off and how you introduce the topic for each vid. You've got a great presence in front of the camera. You keep filming, we'll keep watching. ;)
Thanks for your videos. I really enjoy your style, humour and effort you put into every video.
Thank you so much Sian, that's really kind of you to say. Thank you for the support!
I can't live without your videos. I watch while I get ready for work and I watch on my 30 minute lunch break. Love ya! I even bought a "that chapter" tee. It's my favorite thing!! So comfy. Thank you for being you
At the end you remark about how your surprise that people still tune in to follow you. The old saying just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean I'm not being followed. Videos like this remind us that predators are around us every day and all it takes is one wrong turn or one bad decision and you're a memory. RUclips's like yours remind us that the wolf does smile when he sizing you up for dinner I hope more people watch it and wake up.
True. I have been w mike since the beginning w the time foil and captain hats lol. I still watch bc mike does a superior job!
How do psychos that are clearly a threat to society keep getting released from jail. The amount of people that have died from the failure of the judicial system is unacceptable. It needs to change.
It won’t change until one of the judges or DAs are directly affected by the consequences of their awful decisions.
@@theflanman1986 Unfortunately, that's the truth.
Revenge isn't justice, but it's a hell of a lot closer than what our pathetic excuse for a justice system can give us.
This was incredibly heartbreaking and tragic. Unfortunately, there are many many evil and sadistic people out there who are willing to kill just for the sake of it. I’ll never understand what drives a person to make the decision to end someone’s life. My heart goes out to the families of both breezy and Riley, I can’t imagine how they must be feeling.
It's the ultimate form of control, having someone's life in their hands. Psychopaths love that, I'm sure.
Yeah maybe it's time we consider what drives people to do such heinous acts. People aren't born that way that's for sure.
People love to think that the human race is super advanced. Having technology doesn't mean we're not savage animals. Reality is subjective AF.
Thank you Mike. You are a treasure and a credit to the human race. Your ability to tell the story respectfully and still make me giggle at the jabs to the bad guys is so refreshing! Keep doing you good sir, and thank you again! ❤️
Mike out here is giving away free documentaries every few days at such a high quality ! Thanks Mike , never miss an episode, Go raibh maith agat!!!
Mikes a millionaire from these videos. He makes money everyday off every video. He is basically printing money at this point.
@@davidfalensbirth2031That doesn’t negate the frequency and quality of his videos…I think it’s called his job? 🤷♀️
I hope you get to see this Mike @thatchapter , but watching your transformation from a shy and awkward guy to this hilarious gentleman has been as amazing as all your content. At the beginnings and ends of this podcast, all of those that love you say the words with you -because we love you. Thank you so so much. I really appreciate you taking the time to be with us. Here go on, take care, because we love you💜
Is it crazy that when I miss a few episodes, that I binge watch them IN ORDER, even though there isn't a sequence? Lol 🤣
Thanks for posting something I actually enjoy watching/listening to....which is hard with me :)
Your bad jokes are the highlights of my days sometimes, Mike! All the years I've been watching True Crime, you're still my favorite. I'll be here, watching your videos until the day you decide to stop making them, then I'll watch reruns!
With my depression, it's rare that I smile over anything. Getting a That Chapter alert does the trick! ❤❤❤❤
Nothing like murder to make ya smile
You will be fine
@@spanny88 nah just Mike
What was a 34 year old woman doing hanging out with 18 year olds in the first place??? This case is so disturbing…
It’s like that in small towns/cities.
Apparently she had dated Riley, who was only 18. It feels like she lured sheep to slaughter, having her ex over after seemingly agreeing with her current boyfriend to not have male friends.
@@BluetheRaccoon WHAT THE HELL ?!?!? WHY ISN'T SHE IN JAIL
Breezy and her family were childhood friends of mine. Thank you for covering this case with respect.
This happened in my hometown. I remember when we were all looking for the kids. So tragic it ended up the way it did.
That’s my friends uncle I remember this damn.
I have to say I love the fact that you are consistent with the beginning and ending of these ol' videos and you're ability to always balance humor and horror, thank you for loving us Mike
I wish you had a podcast, your 'storytelling' is fascinating to listen to! Keep up the great work !
God dam I was about to leave then he finally started the story 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
I also have been wanting for podcasts from Mike for a while now. Glad I am not the only one.
WHERE IS THE PODCAST MIKEY?? :)
Why a podcast. This basically is if u close your eyes. Which I do in bed to fall asleep to anyways
LoveLoveLove what you do and who you are!
"I'm dying." 😢😢😢 And he wasn't even allowed to kiss Breezy. Horrible, horrible, horrible. Those nice and cutely in love teens. What a monster! But again you can see how he was escalating over the years up to a hideous murder. And that Morgan dust mop is as evil as him just watching and not trying to stop him from killing these two young people. Awful case
I thought breezy said no to the kiss n started crying. As in she didn't wanted to except him dying
I'm with you girlfriend!
If someone had the power to save me and they didn’t then they deserve life as well
How was she supposed to 'try to stop him'? Just how do you begin to reason w a large, unreasonable, murderous psychopath? Would things be better if she were the 3rd body in the mine? Cuz that's probly where 'trying to stop him' would've landed her.
@@HeyIwasaValedictorian Attempt, try, risk, ones own life for another. Simple..
The last episode of Seinfeld ended on that exact note.
These acts of violence are horrendous and my heart goes out to the families and friends of the victims. I do have to say Mike, I so enjoy your humor and the way you describe these types of stories.
I’m sure everybody laughed at “No big deal”, but it was “…someone who loved being a big evil bastard” that cracked me up. I think one of the reasons we love your videos so much is that you can report on these grim goddamn cases and add just enough levity to make it bearable, while never making light of the victims or the grief-stricken. I watch a lot of true crime and you’re the only one who manages to pull this off.
Also, you’re the only one who does the life insurance dance, so there’s that, too.
Best dance in true crime! 🤣❤😁
Love the life insurance dance lol
Which video does he do it on? Im currently binging so haven’t seen it yet lol.
If he just waited a little he coulda gone to Ukraine as a volunteer freedom fighter
That & the “Nazi’s ruin everything” line!!!
i can't imagine how scared they were in their last hours. for once i actually believe the perpetrator's partner, that she was scared of him too. Breezy and Riley deserved so much better than this.
The sick part is that she was in on all of it, me and the rest of our family have talked, and we know in our hearts that she lead them to him, he had told her specifically not to bring another male back to their house with her, and she did, knowing what he would do, keep in mind this man already had a dangerous history and she had a history too, Utah does a good job on hiding crucial details.
@@spooderdude5949 i would be interested to learn about her history. other than the fact that she didn't turn him in immediately, she seemed to be genuinely scared of him and not in on it, but of course i could be wrong.
@@aurorawolfe6060 she was playing victim the whole time she knew what she was doing, and I'm pretty sure he planned it with her. He just wasn't planning on her dumping everything on him, you don't just invite a group of kids back to your house after your husband has specifically told you no males around, especially if that husband has a violent history she was trying to get someone hurt that day, and if I ever see her, I will give her quite the talk I would never lay fists on her, but I definitely would love for her to know the damage she has done to the families that have lost these amazing individuals.
@@spooderdude5949 Yea l... I'm pretty sure you will never have to see her to "give her a talking to"
-WHERE DO YOU PEOPLE COME FROM???
@@spooderdude5949 She’s a victim here too. She didn’t murder anyone.
