That landlord, good gracious. Rather than report a crime, he cleans up and tries to rent the murder scene again for $$$. He knew.
He has a nasty reputation here in Summerfield. Before this, he was already known as a piece of work. His image has NOT improved.
I'm not sure in FL but in my country, what the landlord did is an obstruction of justice. The penalty is up to 6 years imprisonment, or a fine, or both.
He shouldn't have had a choice. He tried cleaning up a crime scene and that alone should have put him in jail for tampering with evidence. Why did they allow this?
It really pissed me off. Could you imagine being so heartless that you try to clean up a death just so you could move people in? If he didn't know someone died there, I would wonder what the fuck he was on.
Welcome to Florida
Why the hell wouldn't the property owner allow police to do their investigation?! What does that dude have to hide?
Because it was obvious that people were killed in there and he didn't report it. He just wanted to clean the place and get a new tenant. Instead of helping the investigation, he was more concerned with protecting himself.
@@JennaJennaFoFenna Yeah exactly, he could have been charged with destruction of evidence and other stuff. I would have charged his dumbass.
Yeah this was confusing to me as well. He was being very unhelpful.
@@JennaJennaFoFenna I'm a local, and I know the neighborhood and landlord involved. The landlord is a known slumlord and unscrupulous one to boot. His properties are always just barely rentable. Your speculation is more accurate than you know.
Landlords in a lot of areas of the US are pretty much completely above the law.
That landlord is shifty as hell. He clearly cleaned up a crime scene and was trying to get away with it.
I'd say
Oh well he got away with it why don’t you cry some more that’ll change things
@@dreaescobar7257 Why even send this to that person?
By your logic you're crying at their observation so what is the point?
@@dreaescobar7257because that’s a sane response and outlook? He knowingly aided in a crime by having the scene of a crime cleaned, where the four bodies of children and a mother were slain. Your response is callous and concerning. A crime is a crime, hopefully you or your own family don’t find yourself in a similar situation and some idiot on the internet tell’s your loved one “oh well, go cry about it” 🙄 Moronic as hell.
@@dreaescobar7257 Make sure you zip up that landlords pants and wipe your mouth once you get off your knees.
Dude, even if the cases are extremely disturbing, the way you are narrating them is just so peaceful, you have a gift.
It's tht peaceful narrative that makes these gruesome and horrid cases even more jarring ..yea he has a gift truly 🎉
The odd curse word or personal critique is always appropriate...as if voicing the listener's thoughts...at precisely the correct moment...
🇿🇦
Same with Brooke mckenna, definitely butchered the spelling on her last name 🤣
I agree that's y I like his Channel
very true, been binging this channel for 1 week and its surprisingly relaxing
Summerfield local here. There's absolutely nothing here. We're a rural agricultural area. Our biggest attraction is the nearby drag racing and antique car museum owned by legendary racer "Big Daddy" Don Garlits. I personally knew this family, as did many of us in the area. To say we were absolutely devastated is a massive understatement. I'm shocked that my insignificant little town is getting any coverage, as we locals feel that this story was all but completely overlooked. Thank you for bringing light to a long-forgotten community and one of our biggest heartbreaking tragedies.
I thought this was a reupload but realized a different channel covered this case fairly recently. Matter of fact I think there are a few channels that have covered this case but only somewhat recently. I guess I just watch a lot of true crime. I can only imagine how much this shook your town. The craziest thing that ever happened in my town was a kid in my class's father, shot his wife dead and then shot himself. He flinched so the bullet went in from the bottom of his chin and out of the side of his jaw. He lived and sits in jail. Sadly, the kid in my grade, the son, just took his own life a month or so ago. Sad sad stuff people can get into.
@@DPSFSU that's awful. I'm glad the father survived to face the consequences of his depravity.
Yeah, news of this case hit our town like a nuke. We're one of those map dot towns that you hear about in country music songs. Almost everyone here had interactions them in some manner.
@DPSFSU I thought the same exact thing. I kept looking at when it was uploaded, knowing for sure that I had seen it. But it said 58 minutes ago so I must have seen it recently, very recently on a different channel. I was so confused at first. Lol.
Thank u "lmfao 'skunk ape' but if u can refrain 4rm this type of disparaging text in the future
We would all greatly appreciate it because although not related 2 the victim
I very much dislike ur attempt to shift any attention on what was truly meant 2 b highlighted...
Shame on u
I live in a similarly peaceful place where nothing big ever happens. The murder of four little children and their mother would have been devastating to the whole community. Minus this horrific tragedy, this sounds like a place I would have loved to live!
The heck was wrong with the landlord?? There was obviously a murder in the house he was renting and he kicked the cops out? Shady, callous behavior.
Summerfield local here. The landlord is a known slumlord. He was more interested in getting another tenant. The dude is definitely not a popular person around here.
Non-Summerfield local here.When have you known a landlord to be anything else?? Pffft
Greedy turd trying to protect his rent $$ - once there's been a murder at a property it's very hard to rent or sell. Pretty clear he tried to cover up the murder scene.
@@SkunkApe407 that's all florida renters, honestly
@@jokesonyou1373 I've rented from a few really decent people. My last landlord used to call me at least twice a month to ask if everything with the house was okay. He sent my family and I gifts on Christmas and on the kids' birthdays. When I got laid-off he waived three months rent in trade for me doing some yard work at his house. Heck, he even bought us groceries and paid the power bill for me during that time. Good landlords exist, they're just rare.
These cases where children are murdered are tragic but by their own family member is even more heartbreaking 💔
You don't care. You sit at home in comfort. Don't say you're "heartbroken".
Even if the family has a habit of going silent and disappearing you should NEVER wait so long to report them. The lives that couldve been saved and the quicker they couldve caught him is so important. I have a habit of self-isolating and going silent when im overwhelmed and its because of that my mother makes sure to ALWAYS check on me when she thinks im acting odd. I cant believe the family was ok with no seeing their relatives for TWO months and not thinking to call the cops. Thats just strange
I believe it. I haven't seen or spoken to my family in months. Sure I am active on social media but they don't really know if its me. I mean it is, not trying to be dramatic but some families aren't close and going that long without contact can be normal.
The amount of time Casey and the children could be missing and no one calls police is truly disturbing. The children absolutely could've been saved if someone had called police when they hadn't heard from Casey. It's so horribly sad.
You're the sort of genius who calls police after an hour missing. then wonder why they dont trust us
@@gijane2cantwaittoseeyou203 fgs it was 2 months that's crazy long
There are a lot of cases like this. The murderer keeps contacting families like he was the victim and somehow get away with it for a while until somebody suspicious enough to do something.
Bystander effect possibly?
@@FlamingBasketballClub I'm not sure that fits here. That's more like witnessing an event with others around. His own ex never even asked him where his family was. That seems very odd.
With how shady the landlord was sounding I honestly thought he was involved at first.
Me to bro
Same 😂
That landlord was a piece of work himself!
He clearly didn’t want to help and it baffles me why he didn’t want to assist
when you are a child and you are being abused in someway emotionally , or physically etc. you have to look back on that and realize that you have a choice not to be your parents. I did. My heart goes out to all the people affected by this horrific and unbelievable tragedy.
You always know it’s gonna be dark when the children’s faces aren’t blurred out.
They should be though
@@KimVerhaaff fr, just because they're deceased doesn't mean they don't deserve respect
@@RatClowns Yes... and the, its gonna be dark, cause they aren't. I'm not vibing with that
I think children's faces are blurred or pixelated out as a matter of course
@@KimVerhaaff I’m sure you looked away to preserve their honor, right? Good on you, moral Mary
The absolute worst part of this is how long he thought about what he was going to do. He could've just skipped town, but he made a deliberate decision to hurt his children over and over again.
I remember this case... It's truly one of those horrific ones you just can't forget. What he did, regardless of psychotic break, or prolonged abuse.. those kids didn't deserve it. When he dropped them off for that week or two that was his chance, that was his chance to say I'm not going to fetch them the further they are from me the safer they'll be. But he turned around got them and then did the unthinkable. Didn't know about the detail about the property owner not letting the police investigate properly. As always great coverage Adrian. Thank you!!!
This is my family thank you so much for covering their story💜
I noticed the likeness to the Chris Watts case. The main thing that struck me was that this family, like the Watts family, were living a completely different life on social media from the one they were living in reality.
I thought that too.
That is *almost ALWAYS the case* , people use social media to portray life as they *WISH* it was, instead of how it *REALLY* is.
'i noticed the likeness.. apart from living a completely different life' hahahaha so the only likeness was a man killed his family, jesus
… everyone - and I mean every single person in social media - is living a different life on it. It’s silly to think otherwise
Doesn’t everyone on social media put up a front? That’s what I always gather.
I do not understand how any of the family members waited so long to report any of them missing, especially the kids.
This is what gets me. That's over two months without them hearing from her. I start worrying when I don't get a response to a text after a few days.
Yes especially the older kids father. No facetime, call or visit????
It's so sad but it shows the state of our culture where everyone just leaves each other alone, it's so sad
Clearly they all had dysfunctional relationships
@@Sophie-jf1nl That's a huge generalization. Speak for yourself.
Never commented on this page before but have watched your videos for about a year and damn I've never felt as sad and heartbroken like this, them kids were innocent 💔 😔. How does one do this to their own!? Sick world we live in, may their souls keep resting in peace hopefully 🙏
What beautiful children, angels in heaven. Prayers of healing for all of their loved ones and now 🙏 prayers from all of us here. Very professional and powerful presentation of this story. Thank you for covering this tragedy with such class.
When you are a child, the people you trust the most without second guessing anything are your parents. And once their mother was gone, they only had him. Not only that they were probably confused why their mother suddenly disappeared and probably trusted everything he said, the last image each of them had was the person they love and trust hurting and killing them like this. I’m appalled and heartbroken.
I thought about that 😢 the staggering deaths and they’d didn’t know what happened to their mother 😢😢😢😢
I can't stop thinking about the fact that strangling and drowning means he had to look into their eyes, see the confusion and terror, feel the adrenaline in their bodies while they fought for their lives....and just held on. And just kept doing it. They were sweet innocent babies.
Funny story, I actually met Brandon Call at a shuffleboard tournament years back.
I was star-struck.
I got my first taste of the Hollywood limelight, and I was in a state of transcendental ecstatic bliss. My chest swayed, my eyes rolled back in my head and I gasped, "Brandon Call, right? From Step by Step."
He acknowledged me with a gleeful smirk and a proud nod.
"That's me."
Sprawled on the concrete, writhing in ecstacy, I managed to garble out a few more words, "they don't make shows like that anymore."
He agreed and proceeded down the boardwalk hand in hand with his supple wife.
It's impressively gracious that a man of such caliber would ever grace my presence, let alone stoop to the level of the common man for a humble chat.
Since then, I've reflected back on that day with great reverence pondering where would we be now if back when even before they made shows like that, we all got to experience a certain level of precision entertainment that people were never able to get when they can't even watch it before they did it now!
I'll miss those days. 🫖 ❤️ 🍿
@@NuttinChunkySpunk irrelevant and ur a noob for idolising hollweird creeps
@@NuttinChunkySpunk What the hell has that got to do with this multiple murders case, no one but you cares about how you stanned over a Z list celebrity
Can you imagine what pain the father of the boys is in? I mean, anyone that knew and loved them as well as the community. The dad unknowingly returned his kids to this monster. Lest we forget his first wife who undoubtedly will be scarred for life mentally. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family!!
The mother too. Her daughter and all four of her grandchildren. That, that's just, God.
I can't imagine. That's the thing with your ex's later relationships. You don't get any say, and you just hope to hell they're decent to your kids. It's the most difficult thing about sharing custody imo.
@31webseries if there is a God he is either not all powerful or not all good.
Yeah I thought of that. I'd feel so utterly helpless. If the dude wanted to be whack and kill the wife, etc... maybe one reason for killing the kids is that no one would take care of them so might as well just kill him. But some of those kids still had another biological parent out there...just give them back to that parent, at the very least. ugh
true, but idk...the boys were missing for 30+ days and the dad didn't even get suspicious that they weren't around to talk on the phone or to see him? that's kind of neglectful IMHO....
Oh Adrian this would have to be one of the saddest case's you've or anyone has ever covered...may those poor children RIP 😥💜 and hopefully that "father" gets what he should get...thankyou again for the respect you always show for the victims and family left behind 😥
The best thing that can be said about this awful incident is that those sweet children can no longer be abused by this monster. The whole thing just breaks my heart.
There was no mention of Micheal being abusive to the children or Casei prior to the murders. It's understandable to assume there was physical and/or sexual abuse was occurring because of the nature of the killings and how he kept the bodies of his dead family with him. At the very least, there was probably mental/emotional abuse between the couple, as it was stated that Casei was hiding the truth about the trouble in her marriage.
I would be interested to know if there was some evidence of child abuse by Micheal? Pehaps Casei or the children told someone?
JFC, I suffered severe emotional and physical child abuse as a kid, and it made me more empathetic and opposed to the idea of harming others. I am so glad I didn't go in the opposite direction.
Same here, thank God.
Same. I feel like you have to be a bad person already to go in the opposite direction.
@@ligeialovelace No. You just don't understand that head injuries don't affect everybody the same way.
Thank you for your bravery in sharing this with us. You should be very proud of yourself to be where you are today, because I know just from reading what you wrote, I am very proud of you. 😊
my parents tried to kill me on so many ways and tortured me emotionally and physically. im sad others had or/and have to suffer this way and i wish it wouldnt be this way... but what i wanna say is: even tho this happened to me i never attacked anyone but only in selfdefense and even then i made sure to not hurt them in a way that would land them in a hospital or anything but only to get em away from me or their victim and then immediately getting away from them. even tho we suffered there is no excuse to make others suffer and im glad to see many think the same way. lets break the cycle
No one checked on this family for 66 days. Really very sad. Keep checking on your family's as much of possible. Maybe the children could have been saved. So 😥
Being abused as a child is not a reason to kill you whole family. I certainly hope he gets the death penalty and not stay on death row for years at tax payer’s expenses. As always Adrian it’s such a pleasure to listen to you telling the story. Your show of respect to the victims is really appreciated. It’s heartbreaking to hear that type of story but at the same time it raises awareness in all of us. I just hope that after this story people will be kinder to their friends, families and neighbors and pay more attention considering that it took 66 days before the alarm was raised of a whole family missing. I wonder why the landlord refused to give a simple answer to a simple question asked by the police.
I blame becoming a father within the last year, but this story angered me more than any other crime story that's been reviewed. That fact he can do that not only to his wife, but to his children as well just leaves me speechless. Whatever his outcome, I hope justice is truly served.
And kids that aren’t even his!!!! He could have let the dad have them!!!! Outrageous. It’s not like there weren’t other people willing to love those babies.
I dont understand why he couldn't drop the boys with their dad, take the girls to their grandmother & run away. Even then, he'd have caused a lot of pain but this is unimaginable. RIP all the victims of this monster, I pray the family can get the strength to cope with this loss.
You can't understand it because you're not a psychopathic pos.
It wasn't enough for Michael to just fk the guy's wife, but then he also had to kill his kids too. Nice fellow, yeah?
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. The guy is a monster, he didn't have to hurt the children, but he chose to do so anyway.
It’s sick to know there are so many idiotic monsters out there who don’t see that life in prison or a death sentence is way worse than just leaving or divorcing someone.
They don't think they would ever get caught. Pride.
I dont think theyre give that a lot of thought. Theyre letting their feelings overrule.
It's about resentment and vengeance. Violence is the answer for the dull.
Everyone in this story has a lot to answer for… especially the landlord and the family members that knew those children were in an abusive household
Just love love love the narration, it's so unique you're presentation and just brings so much more to the story being told, beautifully done everytime 👌🏾❤️
Thanks for finally covering this case, I have been waiting for other crime channel to cover this. Casei and my wife were very close friends growing up and into adult hood. When this occurred - no one saw it coming, nor did anyone know the situation at their residence was that dire or that he was capable of this.
Anytime I think about it, I get so angry at the loss of such innocent lives, then to hear he just keep them around in the back of the van, fermenting for weeks, it's just down right degrading.
My wife can't even see her name without crying uncontrollably, let alone thinking of the memories they had together.
Praying for your wife, that, in time, her good memories will return and she will regain peace. 🌷❤️🌷
Ahh I'm so sorry 🙏
I wish your wife peace.
Ll
His justification that the children could now "all be with their mother" is so gross, my mouth actually fell open when I heard it! It made me sick to my stomach.
That was pure bullsh*t. He probably killed them because they were reminders of Casei.
Same. Absolutely disgusting.
That had to be the lamest excuse for a family annihilation. Had he spared the kids he would had likely only received a second degree murder charge, but he just couldn't help himself ruining more lives, in two separate occasions no less over weeks. It's beyond comprehension.
@@12thDecember I'd say it's probably a bit of that, along with:
• Not wanting/being able to take care of 4 kids on his own (even just 2 if the bio dad took the 2 boys)
• Not wanting to be reminded of what he did to their mom,
and last, but by no means least:
• Simply being an unadulterated POS.
Especially after claiming she was “abusive”…hmm? Perhaps the defense was rather full of it, since most detrimental against her was that she nagged. I’m sure she had to with such a pos.
Imagine buying a mattress that someone was killed on? And imagine selling it?! Unbelievable and crazy
Complimenting on the excellent delivery you give us, on this and so many other disturbing cases. Thank you
I’m not a big death penalty guy. But, if it’s legally on the table, which it is in Florida. I can’t imagine an individual more deserving.
I think life in prison is worse than the death penatly tbh
@@halalola432 I agree. Having to finish your life with what you did
I think in some cases such as this..a slow very torturous death penalty would be appropriate...screw the speedy processes.
Well...that´s how a racist would start: `I´m not a racist...but!` Death penalty doesn´t belong in our century. Why people want to become the same monster as the culprits?
@@s.r.823 That’s your opinion, no one cares.
This story is so terrifying. I just hope the kids weren’t aware of what was happening around them. Especially with the events of the children occurring on different days
When you hear the full details of how he sent the kids away while considering to kill them or not. Then killed a couple. He claims to have almost given the kids to someone instead of killing them. I just keep thinking of how they almost were saved.
I know right 🥺😞that's what I was thinking. I'm sure they sensed something very scary even if they didn't see..🥺
Don't read the details...
Unfortunately those older children would have both seen and hears a lot of things. A lot of people have advised not to read the full details of what they went through....that says it all.
I really like your cadence when you tell stories Adrian. I appreciate that you make it feel like you are not just reading for views. Kudos!
Hey Adrian--loved the ticker displaying the days missing! I was watching some of your older videos (I'm a new fan) and your video editing has come a long way, really appreciate it, keep up the fantastic work! 🤓
What an absolutely horrible human being. I'm horrified by what this man did. I have a child myself and I don't understand how someone could do something like this.
Mental illnes caused this the mentally ill handle things like stress peer pressure etc. Differently than normal people do
Yes they know right from wrong and they have feelings of remorse just like others but when they get into a manic state theyre rationale isnt normal
When manic states occur science doesnt fully understand the changes in brainwave patterns
But they understand that outside factors contribute to the manic states
For instance a warm spring cloudless day after a long winter is appreciated by pretty much everyone but with the mentally ill
It most often results in gleeful euphoria type state of manic and in some really disturbed people it can cause a homicidal rage type of manic
Hope this helps
Heres a tip for you if you a mentally ill person in your family or in your neighborhood be polite and friendly with them
Having a friend is one of the best things anyone can do
For a mentally ill person
I wont speak of the things ive seen occur at the hands of a mentally ill person but ill say this they can be most dangerous thing in the world
This is the first time I've heard about this case.
It's always heartbreaking when there's a children involved:-(
I am crying while watching😭
😭poor babies😞
You can cry on this D if you want 😏
Yeah fr! Usually I avoid cases with children, it's more than I want from my True Crime content but alas here we are.
if you don't bring kids into the world, nothing happens to them.
I can't imagine what pain the father of the boys is in
Of all the cases on your channel, this one is the most heart rending one. 😢
No one has a perfect childhood a lot of people have it worse than others but they don't become family annihilators or serial killers what this man did was evil pure evil
Exactly! Too many people in our society now days want to excuse the actions of these monsters because "They had a tough childhood".....blah blah blah
@@bigdeal5394 My childhood was dogshit and I still cant even kill bugs. its not even an excuse, its just a blatant lie
Dont wanna say this but some people do get affected by getting abused as kids and cause a lot of mental issues to them still not an excuse but keep in mind not everyone is the same..some people get shitty abusive childhood and grow up normally ..some dont and they get many mental illnesses
@@LichtdesMorgens Sorry about your poor childhood! God Bless You.☹️🙏
People have unique brain wiring and it affects everyone differently..
I remember this case. The only thing I didn't know was that he (the killer) brought their 2 little girls to the police station (or near it) but instead of admitting what he did with his 2nd wife's two sons, he just brought his 2 little daughters with him home and killed them too. Obviously, him pretending to be his 2nd wife shows he knew what he was doing (no insanity plea, etc.). What I don't understand is why the mobile home owner was so evasive with the police? Pleading the 5th when asked if he had anyone clean up, and then asking the police to leave when asked if there were any repairs done...maybe the owner had had his own run-ins with police for his own issues and/or thought he'd be blamed for what happened in the home somehow. Thank God the cleaning guy just covered the original floor with a new one, instead of getting rid of it. Just an odd response to a policeman's questions.
As a non american the home owner response is really odd. Like for me doing that automatically mean you are guilty of something
Because its obvious people were killed inside of it so he tried to rent it to gain more cash
That weirded me out too! If there was a possible murder, why wouldn’t u try to help?!!? Pleading the 5th in a murder investigation is almost always what guilty ppl do! 🙄 And telling them to leave, wtf?!!? If I was that cop, I would’ve pressed him with more questions and tried to gather as much evidence as possible before leaving. I also would’ve said “you don’t want us to investigate a possible murder scene? You want us to leave right now which could result in evidence being later destroyed?!?”
That guy was all kinds of suspish!
They were cleaning up and destroying a crime scene. The landlord wanted the place rented back out and didn’t want to admit they’d destroyed the crime scene.
I would have charged him with obstruction...simply because he was an ass.
I always feel intrigued by your amazing crime investigation series, you are detailed in covering every murder case. 😊
Crazy how you could murder them separately over a time period. RIP to Casey and the kids.
Thank you for your hard work. You have found your calling. You are a great story teller and really enjoy your voice.
Thank you so much!
Hey Adrian! Heard of the Senzo Meyiwa murder?? He was a South African soccer player/captain for the Orlando Pirates. He was murdered 9 years ago at his mistress's mother's home. There is alot of cover up going on in that case and 5 men stand accused for a murder they probably did not commit as it is quiet evident that the shooter was already in the house when the young, promising star was fatally shot. In the house were his mistress, her mother and sister,the sister's bf and the deceased's so called best friend. I think it might interest you to cover the case.
Wow can't believe it's been so long
Did you hear of Sibusiso Mpungose's case? That guy who killed all his children and stepdaughter because the wife was planning on leaving him? Crazy like this guy hey
@@snzn7659 can't imagine where he'd be with his life rn, probably very far. Such a great loss for South Africa
@@taiteitirivamwe1548 also the zinhle maditla case!
@@taiteitirivamwe1548 Nope, but I'll sure look it up. What a sad, cruel world we live in..
When you read their age, i was nearly choked up in tears; as a father myself who loves a 3 year old, this story is too tough to stomach :(
You said it best, this is one of the darkest stories you’ve ever covered
When I hear kids getting killed in the past, it would bother me but I just forget about it soon. As a new father, when I hear about kids getting hurt, it hits very different. The angst I feel towards the assailant burns real deep.
You are a good father then
I may be wrong, but she wasn't 5 years older than him. I believe that he was born on 05/01/1981 and she was born 12/23/1986. Making him like 5 years her senior. I dunno I'm probably wrong.🤔 But either way my family and I love love your channel. Thanks for all of this awesome content. You're seriously one of the top channels that make up the majority of my RUclips in app time.
You're right. Casei is 5 years his junior, not senior.
I was just coming to comment about this.
I was wondering if anyone else caught that 😆... I was confused for a second.
I heard that to lol 😆 I was like wait a minute here lol
As in the wise words of willy Wonka "stop! Reverse that"
Thank you for doing this!
This is one of those cases that made me go hug my kids. What a monster.
Oh Adrian! I’m so in shock about this horrible story, that I’m almost speechless! Why did it take so long for her family and friends not to call the police?? Looking at these childrens faces has crushed me to my core. Even if you had an abusive childhood, you can still get help for yourself instead of murdering your whole family in cold blood. Thank you Adrian for sharing. Stay safe & blessings. ❤️✝️
I’ve suffered from sexual abuse and assault as a child. Never killed anyone. Never even as much as pushed anyone. If you’ve faced abuse, you wouldn’t want to subject others to it because you know exactly what it feels like.
Sorry for what you went through 💕🙏🫂
It depends on your brain wiring and how it's affected you.. Each person is unique.. My best friend was a better choice for me because my ex was abused and was abusive.. My son deserves better..
Small note:
When talking about Casei, you stated she was 5 years Michael's senior. If she was born in 1986 and he in 1981, that would mean she's 5 years his junior.
This episode is a good one. This really humanises everyone in this situation and reminds us all that if you see something, say something.
That caught my attention too that I had to re-play if I heard it wrong lol
Was wondering if I misheard his dob.
I tell you, Adrian, one of the top 5 most unspeakable cases and I've never even heard of it.
What is going on with this defunct media?
And one more thing, what happened to the slumlord who destroyed evidence and failed to report a possible crime scene?
What a man he is...
I don’t understand why people cry about their abuse in their childhood for their actions. They choose to do wrong, you can rise above your abuser. My dad was abused as a child, but he was the most kind, calm and understanding person up until his death.
I’m so happy for you to have had a wonderful dad and you have gratitude for who he was. That’s really nice to read.
Yes, it’s bunch up BS when they make an excuse about there childhood!! He was a grown man. Really sad
While I'm glad to read that your father was able to overcome his trauma and be a good, loving parent, it might not be the case to everyone who has suffered SA.
As we see with these true crime videos, time and time again, a lot of people who were abused in their childhood end up commiting crimes.
I do agree with you that's hard to understand that, but our minds are much more complex than we imagine...
I don't condone this man's actions in the least, though! Specially considering that he acted on 4 separate occasions. He's a true monster!!
I guess you could say abuse is an explanation, but not an excuse.
@@RSZ229 I can agree to that.
Wow, this story is devastating on so many levels. You, as always did a fantastic job at telling the story respectfully. I can't begin to imagine the pain the family is left with.
Thank you for sharing.
Here I am, behind on 7 CHC videos with the idea of binging 'em all in one night. No way am I emotionally getting through 'em starting with THIS episode. :(
Thank you for sharing this case Adrian. Certainly wasn't prepared with enough tissue or coffee.
You really never know anyone. You never know. But sometimes you meet people and they give you the chills and you wonder how they got a family who adores them.
I'm a Summerfield local. I personally knew both of them. My oldest daughter was in the same class as one of their girls. Folks in the area knew they had issues, but not to this extent. We honestly didn't think their troubles were anything but the normal family problems. Absolutely nobody here saw this coming.
I was watching a 5 month old video of yours right now when I got the notification for this one thank you CC for your uploads. I like that you also have a deep respect for the victims in every story you cover.
Those poor babies! My heart truly aches for Casey and her beautiful children. They didn't deserve any of it, and their chances at living was so unfairly ripped away from them!
❤ sending them endless love and prayers on the other side.
I bawled through the entire last half of this episode. Those poor babies man 😔
Me too. 😭
As a mother it is so heard breaking. I couldn't imagine hurting any children, let alone my own.
It's weird to me how many stories there are like this, how much violence there is against women and children, specifically by the men closest to them, and yet we are always shocked and confused...when are we going to get real about how prevalent intimate partner violence is?
you can’t specifically address it without a chorus of “not all men” or “but it can happen to men too”
I 👍 your comment and gave your comment a 👍! However men are abused as well! I'm a stepdad that wanted the best for my stepkids, therefore I reprimanded them whenever they made nonsense (my wife was too slack to perform her duties as parent and reprimand them when needed)... Unfortunately my wife (their mother) didn't support me... Whenever I reprimanded her kids, she started screaming at me in front of her kids!... That lead to screaming matches in front of the kids... Then her 2 kids started to scream at me as well... They believed it's free for all... If our mother screams at stepdad, why can't we join the screaming?... After going through this BS for more than 7 years, I booked myself into a mental clinic in order to get professional help/advice about how to deal with a situation like this... Bottom line, women can be just as abusive than men!... Violence is absolutely disgusting, whichever way!!!
@@redlamb 💯! Please see my reply... Abuse is not (ONLY) killing a person physically!... Mentally abusing your partner over many years is even worse!... After many years of mental abuse you start doubting your own sanity!... (It's called "gaslighting", and there's even a movie about this topic)
@@frederikmare9002 Loves makes you stay even with the most violence of partners and made you forgive them over and over again. The poor dead lady apparently chose the wrong man to get married with, a man with criminal records that she and her whole family just normalized somehow, as long as she looks happy and in love, doesn't matter if the guy never changes for the better. This is the price she finally paid for her love, just like you too. Hope you do find a better woman next time and never stick with just anything simply because of "love" if you're aiming for a family. Coz a mere love between 2 single people is definitely different than between 2 married people along with a few other children in the family.
@@redlamb There is always some male taking over the conversation whenever we speak up
This is so heartbreaking to watching . He's youngest child was only one month away before turning one. They had bright futures ahead. This is just sad and at the same time im disgusted by this man. i hope he gets what he deserves
Love your work mate 👍🏽👍🏽
I must say, this case is Chris Watts version 2.0 or maybe worse than that. Sometimes, people can be terrifyingly monstrous.
Small ed
no. people say that about any guy who killed his family now
@@shinzagu either him or Chris Benoit.
I just want to say thank you so much for always taking the time to really highlight the victim/victims in your videos. Not enough true crime content creators really explain in great detail who these people were and how special they were to their loved ones, and I just feel that is extremely important when telling their stories.
I appreciate your empathy towards the victims, kindness is underrated
Love this channel Adrian ♥
I've had too many family members who post how happy they are on social 24/7 but behind closed doors we all know there's a lot of dysfunction and mistreatment. Please don't pretend to your family and friends.
Crying while watching. Words aren’t enough to describe how heartbroken I am for those poor children.
Me too dear. it's really painful
Hey Adrian! Thanks for the new upload…as always you keep us on the edge of our seats. I have a case suggestion I think currently it may still be in the sentencing period or it will be to follow in next few months, but it’s a case out of my native country South Africa about a young man who was married, murdered & dismembered his wife who also happens to be his cousin and stored her in the freezer. The fascinating thing is not only we’re they both young but he was an actuarial science student maybe it’s something you would be interested to investigate once his sentenced?. Take care 😉
Missed you, and always look forward to you!!
He likes men,
You know that right?
This is horrific. I don't know what to say. Thank You for the coverage of this unspeakable case.
If Michael was born in 1981 and Casei 1986, then he was her senior, not the other way around
FYI xx love the content btw. Keep up the good work
What a sad story. 😪Thank You Adrian
We watch all your videos and everytime my husband asks the same question... why is a Honey Oat Latte cheaper than a standard latte 😅
I'm not usually someone who is in support of the death penalty,...however, in this case, I feel it's the right thing to do.
How could he ever be trusted not to do something like this again? He simply couldn't be.
I hope his wife and the four innocent children he callously killed are resting in peace or are enjoying a much brighter new life somewhere.
Thank you Adrian for another well produced video, you always remain so respectful to the memories of the slain when telling us these horrible stories.
Life sentence or death penalty, this guy cannot ever walk among normal people again.
Why was the homeowner being weird with the cops🤷♂️
This story makes me so very sad.
That poor Mother and Children.
One of my
biggest fears is weeks going by and none of my "family or friends" even noticing if I've gone missing, that'sjust how much attention they pay to me.
It weighs on my heart and brings tears to my eyes sometimes.
Check on your people, Folks!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR just telling the story with facts and photos and no hoopla to drag the story in other directions with other dramas as some other sites do. Such a horrible story, he is simply evil. No matter what happened to him as child is an excuse to take these precious lives. Mom and babies are in heaven together forever, but that evil beast will spend eternity in hell with never ending torture, good for him, he earned it. Prayers for the families and they will see their loved ones again.
I don't understand why the landlord was so hesitant to answer the officer's questions. Pleading the fifth and then asking the officer's to leave the property just seems so bizarre to me. What did he have to hide??🤔
I wondered the same thing
@@lisaf1443 It was just so very strange 🤔
This is all so sad and senseless. I can’t imagine him killing those poor children! It’s so heartbreaking! Why he did not just let them go, I have no idea. My sympathies to everyone impacted. May they all rest in peace.
Great work , Adrian, as always 🖤
I still don't understand exactly what happened. It all seems so... without actual motive. Usually in these cases it would be clear cut, this guy doesn't want a family anymore and murdered them. This guy, I don't understand his motive.
@@younce-davis952 I don't think there was a motive to begin with; at least not in Casei's case. Given that all living parties confirmed the relationship was highly volatile at best, and actually abusive at worst, I believe that Michael was telling the truth (or at least, partially) when he described the sequence of events leading to Casei's death as "an argument that got out of hand"; as it's often the case in turbulent relationships before someone gets hurt.
They argued, things turned ugly, and Casei said/did something to anger Michael so much, he grabbed the bat and then proceeded to beat her to death. Now he's a killer, even though it wasn't his intention to take her life, nor he has a rational reason for it; he "just" snapped, letting all of his anger, frustration and instable mind to take control and this was the result. A very tragic event, but again, not an uncommon ending for an abusive relationship.
And then things began to spiral; because it wasn't a planned crime, Michael had to scramble to think of how to cover this unfortunate event to the best of his ability, without anyone noticing. That's why I think he didn't surrender the children to their respective relatives - he just didn't want anyone to get suspicious about Casei's sudden disappearence. Days went by, and he still hadn't had no solution how to deal with the whole situation without getting caught.
Being older and not his children, the boys might have started to ask for their mom and stopped buying his explanations anymore, and that's likely why they were the next to die; at this point, I believe Michael was in a survival mode and simple stopped caring about anyone but himself, which would culminate in the arguably worst offense for many - the death of his own children, because he had rather taken his little girls' lives (rationalised in his sick mind as it's better for them to die, than to live without their mom) than to turn himself in, facing the justice for what he had done.
Now, I'm not saying this is exactly what had happened; just that it all makes sense given the evidence and testimonies of all parties involved.
Either way, it's so sad that Michael couldn't have accepted the responsibility for Casei's death, sparing the children's lives and ironically even his own, as he would've been charged with "only" a second degree murder, evading the death penalty.
@@baseliacaliga425 I think you described it perfectly. Thank you for the clarification
I’ve never heard a more fitting term for this type of crime than “psychotic chaos “. Well put Adrien...very well put!
I am staggered that the family went so long without hearing from anyone. I am truly shocked. No matter what abuse we may have endured NOTHING excuses doing what this man has done let alone anything else. Go & get yourself help
As a mother myself & having an ex with a violent past, this one really got to me. I wept a bit as you talked of the children. I believe this man should not get the death penalty, but rot away with his conscience. Knowing how some inmates are about the killing of children, I'm sure this man will be marked.
He probably doesn't have a functioning conscience.
Have you been to prison? People adapt...they get tablets to watch movies and music....they talk to other inmates....give this guy the death penalty for sure....
If he had a conscience he would not have murdered his whole family!!!!!
oh god another 'victim'
@@DavidPackluvr Exactly. I don't know why so many people think that murderers sit around in jail, stewing in regrets and remorse. Feeling remorseful is what a normal, non-psychopath would do, but psychopaths don't care at all about the suffering they cause others.
@@emc2704 However, the kind of prison he is heading to will be NO cake-walk, that's for dam sure.
I had watched this elsewhere last week but no one is able to bring it out chronologically and with so much details as you do..
Thank you our coffee master ❤️❤️❤️❤️
go flick your bean my dear, and stop with the cringe compliments eww
Tremendous work. That's why I'm Hook. Many details. Thank you very much and many Blessings.
First video from Coffeehouse Crime that I literally couldn't finish.
That poor dad. I can't imagine how he feels having dropped his kids back to their moms house to be killed by a monster. So sad. I will never understand how anyone can kill a child.
Let’s go! No better way to start the week than a video on true crime!
Yes!!! Happy Monday!!!
u need a job lol
@@shinzagu yeah tell my wife that…
I cannot believe how long they went unheard-of nor seen for so long and know one said anything to the authorities. What a horrible thing he did, to kill someone is bad enough, but to kill the people you love, your own children is just sick
Yes, you’re peaceful way of narrating is why this is one of the few crime shows I can watch without getting that sick
The Days Missing counter is brilliant and very helpful.
