Well, I would say “some patents,” not “our parents.” But I agree. To raise a baby squirrel you need permits, classes, supervised training, a house/enclosure inspection, etc. but anyone who is fertile can be handed a baby human to raise.
You have it spot on. The only thing to add is choice. Those of us abandoned by our mothers do grow into full fledge adults who have an equal amount of free will to choose the dark or light behaviours.
It's no way an excuse and maybe it wouldn't have made much of a difference, but his mother should've explained exactly what happened to his grandfather. Children need to know that death is a natural part of life. I feel the same annoyance with parents who don't teach their kids the proper names for their anatomy.
Nilsen's childhood sounds like a picnic in the park compared to the childhood of some homeless people I know. They, by the way, did not grow up to be serial killers.
I'm sure the experience with his Grandfather didn't help. The most important male relationship in his life and they didn't even bother telling him that he was dead before they took him to see him. Ffs.
Yes I was thinking the same, many similarities. Dahmer also said he wouldn’t have stopped if he had not been caught. It seems like these two people found some relief getting caught, they were smart in their “normal” life and yet were caught because of a mistake.

Most cases the mother is to blame, too much love, or too little. The fact that she sits there and is in complete denial of how she treated Dennis is astounding.
The childhood reaction to loosing his only family member and childhood isolation reminds me a lot of Ed geins story with his over baring mom and he lost it when she passed and started bringing corpses home from the graveyard to hangout with him in his big house that had no electricity and was hoarder type dirty. Ugh 😦😩 so creepy.
This story reminds me of a muder case that's on trial right now in Canada. Adam Strong. He killed 2 teenagers in Oshawa, Ontario. He dismembered one of them, her torso was found in lake Ontario and he flushed her flesh down the toilet. A plumber was called, that's how he was caught.
He gave the police a lot names of people he murdered, but weren't at least some of those people listed as missing persons in police files?? Most of them probably had relatives who the police could have contacted. but there is little to mention of this.
A lot of families didn't report them because they were gay. Back then nobody really cared. Kind of like sex workers, nobody misses them and they are considered easy prey. It's so tragic.
People don’t do this MONSTERS do! I’ve had a rough childhood, and am working with a therapist to get treated for PTSD, but I would NEVER do anything like this 🤮
Everyone is different. How one person responds to trauma is different than how another person might cope. Some people don't cope well at all to childhood trauma and it can manifest in a deterioration of their behavior. They can develop maladaptive behavior, sociopathy and other pathological manifestations. Just because you are rebounding with the help of a therapist and psychotherapy doesn't mean everyone will.
That isn’t the point they were making. They were trying to say that from a young age he was different and that’s why the mother felt it difficult to get close to him.

entirely blaming the mother is a big "fuck you" to every functional adult who grew up with an emotionally neglectful mother and didn't turn out to be a serial killer! there is never any excuse, ever.
What fascinates me so much about these types of killers is that they are so casual about keeping random bodies around the house. What do you mean he had bodies in the bath and under the floor?? Like what does that even mean??? Like what dimensional rift did we fall through and what parallel universe is this? Cause this sitch makes NO sense to me. I just cannot wrap my head around it.
Yes! So much this! Have you ever smelled a dead thing? They stink in an unmistakable and horrible way, how do they live there and how do neighbours not notice.
@@erinrow399 I actually haven’t smelled anything dead (that I know of at least but I don’t think I’d forget that if I did) but such a good point! I can barely handle the smell of dog poop meanwhile this dude is living with decaying bodies in his house!!! Literal decaying full on human bodies.....like what. In. The. World..????
I grew up with a serial killer...they will never admit anything even though the proof is in pudding..as grandma used to say..he is on death row..STILL!..soo sad..he killed innocent people and yet he still lives...makes me wonder about how justice is actually served.
i like how they explain the killers usual day after day routine, like they know the killer is going to stand over a body for few hours, go eat lunch and come back saw the body and do it evey day just in that way lmfao
@@nzisawambua4141 you evidently don't understand mental health. Most of who you're referring to had extended family to interact with I e. Substitutes for missing parent or parents. Isolated folks tend to react differently to people. They are more disconnected, so most are affected severely by separation. Death affects them differently. You cannot do the type of comparison you are doing. Circumstances are unique and create unique outcomes. Some life experiences cause people to be very hateful towards humans and view them as oiles of disappointment that are worth using and discarding like toilet paper. When thoughts are warped it's difficult to reverse.
It really breaks my heart that parents treat their kids so horribly and create monsters. His mother should be ashamed of herself treating him so coldly. He was a lost child, and his mother lied to him about his grandfather, never comforting him after his passing, causing him to only love people who were dead. It’s sick, twisted, and tragic, really. So many of these serial killers become killers because of their traumatic childhood, and often show signs of mental instability which goes untreated for years because the people who are supposed to love and protect them, fail them. It’s really sad. Mental health is so so soooo important, and it’s not hard to see the signs. What really blew my mind is the fact that he didn’t even understand why killing people was “such a big deal” because he was never loved and cared for by his family, and he completely lost his marbles after his grandfather-the one person who loved him-died. He doesn’t understand the pain, grief, and sadness he caused for all those families of the men he killed because he never knew what it felt like to be loved by his family, and his mother completely warped his conception of grief and mourning. That man is sick in the head and it’s disgusting the way he killed those men without any remorse or feelings. I’m glad he got caught, but I truly hope that he gets some type of psychological attention and help. Deep down, he’s still that little boy who felt like the black sheep, the odd one out.
it's def NOT true that serial killers become that way because of their traumatic childhood. the majority of people with traumatic childhoods do NOT become serial killers.
@@johnLennon255 I sympathize with the abused child and the psychology behind them however it doesnt mean they HAD to murder. They chose to kill and therefore deserve no further empathy or apathy. Then again i am a weirdo.
@@johnLennon255they're not empathizing, they're explaining how it came to be. As someone who's into criminal psychology a LOT of serial killers had BEYOND messed up childhoods. So did I although I've never thought of murder, but just chastising them and not understanding how their background could've played a part is beyond ignorant and shows that you care more about sitting on your moral high horse than you do about solving the actual root cause of the issue.
Imagine you fear being in danger. He cooks you an omelet, you think everything is gonna be alright. I mean who cooks for you and then kills you? He kills you.
In Chicago, John Gacy ordered a big meal of Chinese take out food for himself and the 19 year old fellow he'd picked up. A few hours later, Gacy threw the strangled youth's body into a river.
What in the hell a 14 years old (his first victim) doing at a bar at that age.🤦🏻♀️ I have a 14 years old and to me he’s only a child. Going to a Bar will never be on his mind period.
Sounds like the kid was gay during a time when homosexuality wasn't as accepted by society. Maybe the parents made him feel ashamed and he thought the gay bar was a safe place. Sad really
Yes, Nilsen blew his cover, he flushed human flesh and bones down the toilet and it clogged up the pipe and drains, he was caught when the drainage company got suspicious and called Police.
Sometimes I wonder if, after theyre captured, what drove these people to commit murder is as important as the lives they took. I mean who really cares what his childhood was like?
It just shows the craziness of the law, and not only in England, but especially in the whole of Europe! It doesn't matter if he has killed 15 or 150 people the outcome will have been the same ! Life in prison but with possibility of Parole after 25 years ( because now he was a good boy??😊)Thanks God one person took action and finally he died in prison...
@Chuck Blankenship No he died of an aunerysm. Luth Luther has a channel here at YT and one episode show premises of a couple of serial killers. Nilsen drowned victims in his kitchen zinc, there's scratchmarks on the cabinet.
Not only in Europe, it is a world trend to make sentences more flexible in the name of "rehabilitation", "reintegration", "dignity of the prisoners" or whatever they call those stupid excuses ... it seems that the rights of criminals are more important than those of decent citizens, and those of victims in particular.
@@klarahvar566 I completely agree with you ! When some of this Monsters killed someone, and especially little children, it's like nothing special happened! But if you say , I want the death penalty for this type of proven murder, it's like you are a bad person,everybody screams at you, since in their mind you are worse then the murderer himself !!!
@@hanslaurentius2976 Exactly! I always say that there is a huge difference between the crime of a cruel murder, and justice through a peaceful death by lethal injection. Edit: Just in case ... I'm not from the US .
Something notable about this was, he killed hundreds. He'd grind their meat and bones to burger, and flush it down the toilet a half-pound at a time. It truly was the perfect system. After doing this for years, he started WANTING to get caught. He started intentionally clogging the pipes, and then calling the people who would unclog them, on himself. He did this multiple times... His system truly was perfect, and he'd never have been caught presumably, if he didn't TRY to get caught. I suspect many outlets intentionally do not represent this aspect accurately simply because it did work for him completely for years and years, until the moment he decided to intentionally be caught. Makes sense to hide that bit of info, I suppose. The wrong person hears it and... It's better to just not publicize what seems to be the best way to actually get away with murder
Brian Masters is superb. I read about Dennis when I was very young in the late 80s. I studied him well in several books and documentaries. Have Brians Masters book called "Killing for Company" about Dennis. I can recommend the Documentary Born to Kill about Dennis also. It's describing and showing his egocentric ways a tad better on self-recorded footage.
@@denisekristen7620 You found some? Dahmer and him both had that Dont leave me concept. MANY killers have that. Its because they are not only Psychopaths who discard other people but they are narcissists who needs others to stimulate their ego, surely also their inner loneliness. So the Narcisissm is combined with Psychopathy. With Dahmer I see signs of schizoid perhaps. Just want to be left alone combined with psychopathy and perhaps some tiny autism. People like Dennis were weak and couldn't hurt a flie. He got people drunk and spiked them a few pills and gave them a shower and drowned them easily. They were mostly weaker than him. There was that gay guy who ran from him though. Shows he was not that strong or dominant. Dont despair Denise:) Unfortunately 85% of Serial killers are typical sadist strained types going for women. So, not good in your case. Me they wouldn't get near. I am a large muscular guy:) I am just kidding. I think we live in more safe times over-all. People just don't know each other that well no more and neither do they have the ambition to learn one another. Its quite sad.
@@denisekristen7620 Denise, check out john george haigh. They made a real good movie about him called: "10 Rillington Place" Its a guy who buried people in the house walls and drains around 25-35 years before Nilsen in same city of London. I have the movie on DVD. Its really good.
So the argument was "he didn't k why it was wrong to kill ppl" but then the guy goes " he knew he was guilty" that's a contradiction lmao if I knew I was guilty then I'd understand why it was wrong to kill 🤷♀️
Not really....psychopaths brains are different. They dont feel empathy, have poor impulse control and often get high from murder. It's like a drug to them, which is why they cant stop, or are able to only stop for periods of time. Often they are narcissistic, so they think they can get away with it.
@@johnnyflannigan136 I've always found it fascinating how these serial killers can easily detach themselves completely from these horrific killings and go about their normal daily routine as if nothing had happened. It's like they view their victims as insignificant lifeless objects. I suppose a normal person can never understand how the mind of a serial killer works.
It's appalling to me that such a friend got away with so much. It's disturbing to me that the police constables didn't pick up on the fact that Mr. Neilson was crying out for help all along. Having all the evidence near him and around him, he wasn't trying to cover it up, he was taunting police. His nonchalant manner of fact or displacement made him not reckless or careless, but, cold, calculating, and distant. Very detached. I wasn't surprised when he said, since when are police interested in back drains. As if to say, you're not plumbers or sewer maintenance workers. Very sarcastic and caustic. Just the start. Next time, pay attention to what is said. Listen carefully, it's chilling what you'll learn. m.t.lopez

It's a kind of litany about how "ordinary" these murderers are. And every time those who say it sound surprised. Are we allowed to be surprised any more? We KNOW it doesn't show on the outside.
It’d be a weird conversation probably lol. But I don’t think anything would happen. We’ll never know obviously. Dahmer still acted like a physco in prison and ended up getting beaten to death. I just read a article about it
It’s really crazy that he and Jeffrey Dahmer are so similar. They both committed their first murder the same year to a victim with the same name (just spelled differently). Both were homosexuals, they both had a great dislike of being alone, both were alcoholics… it’s crazy!
Honestly it's hard not to feel a little bit bad for this guy. He reminds me of that character from Red Dead Redemption who keeps the decomposing body of his dead wife at his house and speaks to her as though she were still alive.
Is there some menu of behaviours from which potential serial killers can choose "a little from column A, a little from column B"? I now know of TWO multiple murderers who chose to flush the flesh of their victims, leading to their crimes being exposed. Adam Strong, a multiple murderer from Oshawa, Ontario, took a page from Nilsen's book and flushed the de-fleshed remains of his victims down the toilet. He too was discovered when the plumbing was blocked and a poor unsuspecting plumber was called in to address a blocked drain. Nilsen and Strong have collectively ensured that I would never be employed as a plumber or a sewage worker!
Serial killers have taught me that our parents despise some of their children and some show it. Not an excuse to murder but damn, hug your damn child
Well, I would say “some patents,” not “our parents.” But I agree. To raise a baby squirrel you need permits, classes, supervised training, a house/enclosure inspection, etc. but anyone who is fertile can be handed a baby human to raise.
Rather, hug your children equally. Don't show favoritism. Unfortunately it happens in all households, not even aware by most parents.

What fascinates me so much about these types of killers is that they are so casual about keeping random bodies around the house. What do you mean he had bodies in the bath and under the floor?? Like what does that even mean??? Like what dimensional rift did we fall through and what parallel universe is this? Cause this sitch makes NO sense to me. I just cannot wrap my head around it.
Yes! So much this! Have you ever smelled a dead thing? They stink in an unmistakable and horrible way, how do they live there and how do neighbours not notice.
@@erinrow399 I actually haven’t smelled anything dead (that I know of at least but I don’t think I’d forget that if I did) but such a good point! I can barely handle the smell of dog poop meanwhile this dude is living with decaying bodies in his house!!! Literal decaying full on human bodies.....like what. In. The. World..????
I grew up with a serial killer...they will never admit anything even though the proof is in pudding..as grandma used to say..he is on death row..STILL!..soo sad..he killed innocent people and yet he still lives...makes me wonder about how justice is actually served.
Who is it?
Terrible situation. He flushed alot people's lives down the toilet. Sad!
No joke.
i like how they explain the killers usual day after day routine, like they know the killer is going to stand over a body for few hours, go eat lunch and come back saw the body and do it evey day just in that way lmfao
This was crazy. 😦 Glad they made a series on this.
Apologising for a murderer. Yeah, definitely good analysis.
and blaming the mother in the process. as usual
Yep. So sorry for Dennis for being lonely..... ugh.
TYSM, @Real Crime, for your many excellent uploads.

The narrator: "one of worlds most evil killers"
me: "HE HIT HIS HEAD ON THE FUCKING CAR AHAHHAHAH"
Has there ever been a serial killer who WASN’T the product of divorce?
A serial killer is just a serial killer..people have been through worse situations than divorce and don't go killing others.
@@cliffpinchon2832 this is absolutely NOT true!!
@@nzisawambua4141 you evidently don't understand mental health. Most of who you're referring to had extended family to interact with I e. Substitutes for missing parent or parents. Isolated folks tend to react differently to people. They are more disconnected, so most are affected severely by separation. Death affects them differently. You cannot do the type of comparison you are doing. Circumstances are unique and create unique outcomes. Some life experiences cause people to be very hateful towards humans and view them as oiles of disappointment that are worth using and discarding like toilet paper. When thoughts are warped it's difficult to reverse.
@@cliffpinchon2832 well, this isn't the time or place for that .
This episode is just insane. Who clogs drains with dismembered body parts?
It really breaks my heart that parents treat their kids so horribly and create monsters. His mother should be ashamed of herself treating him so coldly. He was a lost child, and his mother lied to him about his grandfather, never comforting him after his passing, causing him to only love people who were dead. It’s sick, twisted, and tragic, really. So many of these serial killers become killers because of their traumatic childhood, and often show signs of mental instability which goes untreated for years because the people who are supposed to love and protect them, fail them. It’s really sad. Mental health is so so soooo important, and it’s not hard to see the signs. What really blew my mind is the fact that he didn’t even understand why killing people was “such a big deal” because he was never loved and cared for by his family, and he completely lost his marbles after his grandfather-the one person who loved him-died. He doesn’t understand the pain, grief, and sadness he caused for all those families of the men he killed because he never knew what it felt like to be loved by his family, and his mother completely warped his conception of grief and mourning. That man is sick in the head and it’s disgusting the way he killed those men without any remorse or feelings. I’m glad he got caught, but I truly hope that he gets some type of psychological attention and help. Deep down, he’s still that little boy who felt like the black sheep, the odd one out.
God this is disgusting, you’re empathizing with a serial killer
it's def NOT true that serial killers become that way because of their traumatic childhood. the majority of people with traumatic childhoods do NOT become serial killers.
@@johnLennon255 I sympathize with the abused child and the psychology behind them however it doesnt mean they HAD to murder. They chose to kill and therefore deserve no further empathy or apathy. Then again i am a weirdo.
@@johnLennon255they're not empathizing, they're explaining how it came to be. As someone who's into criminal psychology a LOT of serial killers had BEYOND messed up childhoods. So did I although I've never thought of murder, but just chastising them and not understanding how their background could've played a part is beyond ignorant and shows that you care more about sitting on your moral high horse than you do about solving the actual root cause of the issue.
I love that this channel has 2 different Nilson specials and they use 2 different actors to play nilson
Imagine you fear being in danger. He cooks you an omelet, you think everything is gonna be alright. I mean who cooks for you and then kills you? He kills you.
In Chicago, John Gacy ordered a big meal of Chinese take out food for himself and the 19 year old fellow he'd picked up. A few hours later, Gacy threw the strangled youth's body into a river.
What a Sicko😑Happy Holidays Everyone Everywhere😊
Happy Holidays!🎄
What in the hell a 14 years old (his first victim) doing at a bar at that age.🤦🏻♀️ I have a 14 years old and to me he’s only a child. Going to a Bar will never be on his mind period.
Period.
Question mark.
Sounds like the kid was gay during a time when homosexuality wasn't as accepted by society. Maybe the parents made him feel ashamed and he thought the gay bar was a safe place. Sad really
thanks for sharing.
what do you want, a medal?
How I ended up here 😁
It's Christmas ⛄🎄
Happy holidays ☮️🕊️
What if this guy and Dahmer tried to pick each other up from the bar?
I can imagine
That book is fkn gross 🤢
If they've known each other, I'd say Dahmer got inspired by this dude.
Thank you so much for uploading this video. It is helping me get through the pandemic!
Horrific story, glad he was caught.
Yes, Nilsen blew his cover, he flushed human flesh and bones down the toilet and it clogged up the pipe and drains, he was caught when the drainage company got suspicious and called Police.
"How many other Dennis Nilsen's are there?"
Jeffrey Dahmer: Allow me to introduce myself
Dennis Nilsen I killed some men,,Jeremy Dahmer hold my beer Dennis,,lol..
That guy that does the autopsy talk so soft and gentle... what made him decide to pick that occupation.
It's legal to just have random bonfires outside your flat???? Neighbours will call the police for a little music but not this???
It was the 80's
@@leejones8582 yeah I was just going to say things were very different in the 80s..
1:14 he hits his head on the van
Thank you lol someone said it!
Good call, blink and you'll miss it.
Sometimes I wonder if, after theyre captured, what drove these people to commit murder is as important as the lives they took. I mean who really cares what his childhood was like?
It just shows the craziness of the law, and not only in England, but especially in the whole of Europe! It doesn't matter if he has killed 15 or 150 people the outcome will have been the same ! Life in prison but with possibility of Parole after 25 years ( because now he was a good boy??😊)Thanks God one person took action and finally he died in prison...
@Chuck Blankenship I really dont care, as long he is gone forever..
@Chuck Blankenship No he died of an aunerysm. Luth Luther has a channel here at YT and one episode show premises of a couple of serial killers. Nilsen drowned victims in his kitchen zinc, there's scratchmarks on the cabinet.
Not only in Europe, it is a world trend to make sentences more flexible in the name of "rehabilitation", "reintegration", "dignity of the prisoners" or whatever they call those stupid excuses ... it seems that the rights of criminals are more important than those of decent citizens, and those of victims in particular.
@@klarahvar566 I completely agree with you ! When some of this Monsters killed someone, and especially little children, it's like nothing special happened! But if you say , I want the death penalty for this type of proven murder, it's like you are a bad person,everybody screams at you, since in their mind you are worse then the murderer himself !!!
@@hanslaurentius2976 Exactly! I always say that there is a huge difference between the crime of a cruel murder, and justice through a peaceful death by lethal injection.
Edit: Just in case ... I'm not from the US
.
Each time i watch these shows i thank God there is another life where good and evil will live SEPARATELY forever & eternity .
Doubt it
@@johnLennon255 that would be your bussiness .
Does anybody know the name of the narrator? I like his voice. It is casual and dramatic at the same time and yet it keeps a properly respectful tone.
I think it's a Journalist by the name of Fred Dinage he has done a number of crime documentarys including being the biographer for the "Kray twins "
@@DP-rx6zf Thank You!
The RUclips algorithm suggesting too many cannibal serial killer videos
Something notable about this was, he killed hundreds. He'd grind their meat and bones to burger, and flush it down the toilet a half-pound at a time. It truly was the perfect system.
After doing this for years, he started WANTING to get caught. He started intentionally clogging the pipes, and then calling the people who would unclog them, on himself. He did this multiple times... His system truly was perfect, and he'd never have been caught presumably, if he didn't TRY to get caught.
I suspect many outlets intentionally do not represent this aspect accurately simply because it did work for him completely for years and years, until the moment he decided to intentionally be caught.
Makes sense to hide that bit of info, I suppose. The wrong person hears it and... It's better to just not publicize what seems to be the best way to actually get away with murder
Such a waste of time and money to keep something like this alive.
Not that inteligent if hes flushing them down the toilet lol
Brian Masters is superb. I read about Dennis when I was very young in the late 80s. I studied him well in several books and documentaries. Have Brians Masters book called "Killing for Company" about Dennis. I can recommend the Documentary Born to Kill about Dennis also. It's describing and showing his egocentric ways a tad better on self-recorded footage.
I also liked that doc on Dennis. Did scare me in a weird way. Started me digging around for any other info.
@@denisekristen7620 You found some? Dahmer and him both had that Dont leave me concept. MANY killers have that. Its because they are not only Psychopaths who discard other people but they are narcissists who needs others to stimulate their ego, surely also their inner loneliness. So the Narcisissm is combined with Psychopathy. With Dahmer I see signs of schizoid perhaps. Just want to be left alone combined with psychopathy and perhaps some tiny autism. People like Dennis were weak and couldn't hurt a flie. He got people drunk and spiked them a few pills and gave them a shower and drowned them easily. They were mostly weaker than him. There was that gay guy who ran from him though. Shows he was not that strong or dominant. Dont despair Denise:) Unfortunately 85% of Serial killers are typical sadist strained types going for women. So, not good in your case. Me they wouldn't get near. I am a large muscular guy:) I am just kidding. I think we live in more safe times over-all. People just don't know each other that well no more and neither do they have the ambition to learn one another. Its quite sad.
@@denisekristen7620 Denise, check out john george haigh. They made a real good movie about him called: "10 Rillington Place" Its a guy who buried people in the house walls and drains around 25-35 years before Nilsen in same city of London. I have the movie on DVD. Its really good.
@@Cosmic_Code acid baths. Thats what comes to mind when I hear that name.
@@denisekristen7620 Oh yea:) The acid bath Murder. Indeed. You should really check the movie though. Its good and realistic made.
Isnt there a mini series about this killer? It aired about month ago, played by David Tennant.
Where at? I'd like to watch!
the first of three hour-long episodes aired last Thursday on the Sundance Now streaming channel.
Well dammit. I really wanted to see this too.
Yes, it was really good. Tennant was incredible, as usual.
His first victim's last name was the same as a horrific serial killer in Chicago at the world"s fair at the end of the 19th century.
"What was done to me created me"
everybody watching right now wtfff hahaha
"We found a number of ..... interesting items,..." No shit, Sherlock.
Btw, mom has failed miserably as far as I'm concerned.
So the argument was "he didn't k why it was wrong to kill ppl" but then the guy goes " he knew he was guilty" that's a contradiction lmao if I knew I was guilty then I'd understand why it was wrong to kill 🤷♀️
"...that's not my Dennis... that's not the boy I knew..."
There are those who are born with no conscience. The how or why remains a mystery.
But why does being born with no conscience cause some people to want to murder others? What causes the drive to murder people with no clear motive ?
Not really....psychopaths brains are different. They dont feel empathy, have poor impulse control and often get high from murder. It's like a drug to them, which is why they cant stop, or are able to only stop for periods of time. Often they are narcissistic, so they think they can get away with it.
Exactly. Got a crimnology degree.
@@johnnyflannigan136 I've always found it fascinating how these serial killers can easily detach themselves completely from these horrific killings and go about their normal daily routine as if nothing had happened. It's like they view their victims as insignificant lifeless objects. I suppose a normal person can never understand how the mind of a serial killer works.
It's appalling to me that such a friend got away with so much. It's disturbing to me that the police constables didn't pick up on the fact that Mr. Neilson was crying out for help all along. Having all the evidence near him and around him, he wasn't trying to cover it up, he was taunting police. His nonchalant manner of fact or displacement made him not reckless or careless, but, cold, calculating, and distant. Very detached. I wasn't surprised when he said, since when are police interested in back drains. As if to say, you're not plumbers or sewer maintenance workers. Very sarcastic and caustic. Just the start. Next time, pay attention to what is said. Listen carefully, it's chilling what you'll learn. m.t.lopez
You knew him personally?
@@charlesp.7124 Thank you for the question. Answer: No. Just giving my point of view and perceptive synopsis. Is that alright with you?! Didn't mean no disrespect or offense. m.t.lopez
@@mariateresalopez9833 none taken by any means sorry if i made you feel like that ,that wasnt my goal at all i just was curious and intrigued because i thought you knew him based on your comment 😅
I thought you knew him personally too based on your comment 🤣🤣 Did you mean to say" fiend" rather than "friend"?
It's a kind of litany about how "ordinary" these murderers are. And every time those who say it sound surprised. Are we allowed to be surprised any more? We KNOW it doesn't show on the outside.
Amateur, you chop them up and put it them through a meat grinder.
I'm wondering how he got the pieces to flushable size
Whoa this one was Wild!!
Big shout out 2 all of us who been threw a bad childhood an not turn into a serial killer
Very sad. May all those men rest in peace.
I think they rest in pieces
Lots of parallels with Jeffrey Dahmer.
I can't wait till these documentaries become historic and through science, technology and understanding this doesn't happen anymore.
I'm curious to know what might happen if this Nilson and Dahmer and Bunndy were to be locked up and left alone for a period of time????
It’d be a weird conversation probably lol. But I don’t think anything would happen. We’ll never know obviously. Dahmer still acted like a physco in prison and ended up getting beaten to death. I just read a article about it
They'd start a damn discussion group knowing those 3 narsistic bastards.
That would be a gang.
Bundy would be aloof, considering himself better than Jeffrey and Dennis.
It’s really crazy that he and Jeffrey Dahmer are so similar. They both committed their first murder the same year to a victim with the same name (just spelled differently). Both were homosexuals, they both had a great dislike of being alone, both were alcoholics… it’s crazy!
Ikr, and both their first victims names were Steven.. :/
What’s crazy is how many serial killers were operating in the same years as others. Dhamer, Bundy, Gacy, probably Ridgeway. Weird correlation.
Honestly it's hard not to feel a little bit bad for this guy. He reminds me of that character from Red Dead Redemption who keeps the decomposing body of his dead wife at his house and speaks to her as though she were still alive.
The STREETS will never forget this MAN
Surely the neighbors must have at least been wondering about the weird smells (boiling body parts) for a while?
Just flush your problem down the drain
Don't try that in my dad's toilet it will never go down lmao.
Haha. Did you try?? ☺
House for sale , new plumbing
Freshly landscaped yard
Some new flooring
Is there some menu of behaviours from which potential serial killers can choose "a little from column A, a little from column B"? I now know of TWO multiple murderers who chose to flush the flesh of their victims, leading to their crimes being exposed. Adam Strong, a multiple murderer from Oshawa, Ontario, took a page from Nilsen's book and flushed the de-fleshed remains of his victims down the toilet. He too was discovered when the plumbing was blocked and a poor unsuspecting plumber was called in to address a blocked drain. Nilsen and Strong have collectively ensured that I would never be employed as a plumber or a sewage worker!
