I’ve been watching him for literally years and I’ve yet to see every video I watch most days too. Sometimes I rewatch old episodes but usually there is always new content
@Othello Emerald oh but what about all the brilliant 'documentaries' like "Aliens built the pyramids and built Jesus from hamster innards" ? 😐 Haha true though, fair point El Camino 👍
I didn't notice Steven talking that way but I did hear her uncle say a couple of times starting 13:56 "she loved him", which left me wondering if he was going to end up being the killer.
You should check out Last Podcast On The Left - goes even farther with the humour, and more in depth on the topics. I've often found myself asking, "how can I possibly be laughing at this horrific detailed crime?!?" while listening to those tree lads. Found Mike later and he's like the visual, "safe for work" version of them. ♥️🍍
@@tagaway6173 Hey that's a great question! If you're just looking to get a feel for them, scroll through the episodes for something that catches your attention. They've covered many of the same cases Mike has here, for example Mark Twitchell. Their series on the BTK killer is very very good, and my personal favourite is the creepypasta episode, "then who was phone" Keep in mind it's actually a podcast, but most episodes can be found on the RUclips channel LPOTL (no idea if it's their official one lmao). They're also on Spotify and podcast apps, and their official website has the episodes categorized with direct download of the mp3 files. That's all I've got off the top of my head. Many spooky listens to you! 👊🍍
I’ve been dating my gf for about 3 years and I showed her some “That Chapter” videos and she said she didn’t like the way the videos were narrated. I’m single now.
I have been binge watching Mike for literally 3 days now. So addictive, love the editing, the humor, his accent and the way he says three. Glad I still can binge watch and don’t have to wait for a new upload lol
I used to work with her, she was my trainer when I first got hired. She was so sweet and kind-hearted. Crazy, I watch all these videos and coming across someone you know makes everything seem even more real.
Lost a dear friend,who was living in Houston when Harvey hit. Just disappeared. Rod, I miss you to this day. So, so sorry for the children of this story.
Rod ______? What’s his last name?? Also, is his first name “Rod” or is that short for “Rodney”, etc. 🤔 Every little detail is crucial................ Hair & eye color? Ethnicity? Height? Last know whereabouts? I’m only knit-picking at this because any publicity is good publicity that could potentially lead to finding your friend, or closure in some form, at the very least. Idk man..........
@@Valeria-mq3qn Thanks so much. But he's assumed deceased by all. He was 88, severe heart problems. Not heard from by anyone. It's a long story. Live every day to the fullest. All!!
And yet he was trying to protect her killer. How dumb can someone be? Yeah sure, the new boyfriend who has no motive is the one who killed her, and not the psycho ex. Makes sense.
Florida is a messy place, but they also make all arrest records public, so you do hear about all the crazy crimes people are arrested for. I'm sure every state and country has some insane criminals running about but you don't hear about it, get the names of those people and pictures to go with it. However, Canada is still top ranking for me. We're a large country by area, but only have under 30 million total poluation. I live in a place called Labrador, which is about as big as the state of California with a population of about 25,000 people. California has a total population about equal to the entirety of Canada, so it stands out even more when you hear about such horrific crimes being committed here.
Fat Turtle, you missed a few million of us! Still nasty when there's a murder though, no matter the place or the population. Mike is picking on Canada sometimes, me thinks 😉! Labrador is a great place, eh? Or as they say on 'This a Hour Has 22 Minutes ", in imitation of Danny Williams, "Noofaland 'n Labbador " haha.
hard to feel bad for her someone who cheats that much is basically asking for it crime of passion i feel bad for the kids and for the guy who got suckered by her
I was saying the same thing. She was a survivor and she overcame such horrific trauma living her best life. I can't believe that guy did it to her. She had people who loved her and some selfish evil bastard took her life and her away from them. I had been hoping that Crystal would survive and be found... I know it's naïve to hope but she gone through so much, I hoped she would have made it through this too. RIP Crystal.
Mike's worst nightmare scenario: Three thirty year-olds, having a threesome, are killed by three thirty three year-olds, at three thirty-three am, on Thursday the thirteenth...
Pretty tragic that she lost her parents within six months of eachother and then her own children went on to suffer the same fate, albeit for very different reasons.
L Uns the only difference is the circumstances. The root cause was the same. Selfishness. Selfishness on her part for not putting her children first and selfishness on his part for not being man enough to let go of a woman that no longer wanted him. The cycle remains unbroken.
It’s interesting to see how much mikes video dialogue has improved over the years. His sarcastic, entertaining demeanor has peaked and the videos have gotten better and better!
I know, right? Perhaps a bit chilly in the studioo today. Presuming Mike washes these shirts regularly it's amazing they're keeping their color and holding up in terms of structure. Unless, of course, he has a closet full of dupes.
@@TeleNikon A sensible precaution. I've definitely bought the occasional second shirt or dress when it was something I knew I'd run into the ground, esp when I was lucky enough to spot it on sale.
I've never heard a story where the bad guy used a natural disaster to cover his tracks. That's actually kinda genius. Sounds like a movie plot. I'm glad this terrible man was caught.
There’s a case that’s never been covered about a guy that killed his wife and three kids when Mount Saint Helen erupted, put them in a storage locker and they were there for years until his new wife found a receipt for the locker or he stopped paying or something I can’t remember, but I can’t find anything about it online
I'm currently watching this while there's a hurricane about to hit close to where I live on August 25th.....yikes. I always watch you while I cook. Thanks for keeping me entertained Mike!
Yeah we thinking the same thing after hearing that she had a large amount of boyfriends and girlfriends. On top of the woman @11:35 saying two men got out of the car.
Aww, Terri, I doubt that! You are just as special and important as everyone else on the planet! (bar all the criminal freaks such as is shown on Mike's videos).
@@Terri_MacKay You are JUST AS deserving as ANYONE, to have a GREAT LIFE! Never ever look away on that! No need to thank, just be your beautiful self. Warm greetings from the EU-Jules. God Bless You.
Pro tip: when philandering mate asks for a divorce pack their suitcase with a smile and wish them well. Don’t pack them in a suitcase and dump them in a swamp.
@@wearytraveler2164 l.m.m.f.a.o. I need to know where you want to send the bill for my dry cleaning cause I spit coffee all down my shirt and tie. That's some funny shit my friend.
Mr.Ballen is and has been my favorite in this category ever since he came to RUclips. Man I looked, but could never find someone who was genuinely good at story telling. I randomly stumbled across Mike and now I'm binge watching every episode lol
Lol bro same here. This guy deserves every penny because of the research he puts in And unlike other content creators this guy does not hold back on sexual assaultsAnd other assaults involving miners. You know you're going to get all of the details when listening to this guy.
Yeah. I've noticed on some occasions I will see Mike wearing both shirts at once. Lol! I absolutely am in love with him He's the total opposite of what I normally go for and I can't put my finger on what exactly it is about him that has me feeling like a school girl. He's adorable
There's definitely gotta be a good reason for why he is always wearing one of the two shirts or even on the very rare occasions when he's got them both on at once. Maybe he's explained it and we haven't seen it yet. But surely he's got more than 2 shirts. I'll go out shopping tomorrow and buy him a ton of new shirts so he's not spending his money and we can see him in something different and finally focus 100 % on the videos instead of driving ourselves crazy wondering about these 2 shirts lol
@UCqmybHA6hY_wl_8vL68qVAQ very possible. Just like there are like 300,000 people hitting a space bar at the same time every time a space bar is pressed xD
Well she was an "or something," she was a serial adulterer. Obviously much lower on the totem pole of bad shit and she definitely didn't deserve to be strangled to death for it, but I think it's fair to say that she didn't come out of that childhood as a totally well-adjusted person.
Well, it's actually not uncommon for people with a bad background to come out wanting to be the opposite of what their parents were. I had a shit childhood, foster care and a bunch of other garbage, but I am now married with a son living in a nice house with a wife that looks the exact opposite of my mom, who I barely can stand. I also don't live even near the country she lives in lol, far away from all my family and garbage past.
@@specialk6984 Lol, no, my mom is scandinavian, tall, blonde, blue eyes, my wife is Japanese. That's what I meant. Very different personality and background too.
I have just read all the comments regarding clicking ads vs blocking ads and how it may affect Mike getting paid....if you truly want to help support his channel, please consider his Patreon link. That way you can truly make sure that your money goes to help him continue to provide great content, along with his undeniable charm. He is amazing and certainly worthy of my contribution every month. This is just my opinion, but for way less than one pays for oh, say Netflix, Mike is far and away better than any drivel on TV subscription. I just cannot stop watching him! We love you Mike! Now, let's give it a goo.
Sidenote but my parents also had to continue living together for a few months after they decided to split up and if there are any parents reading this - as a child of a situation like that (minus the murder) - PLEASE don't keep living together unless your break up is extremely amicable. PLEASE don't do that to your kids. Stay at friends and family's houses while you split the bills. But don't do it. You do irreparable damage. Take a week to transition out and then go. Please.
I was kayaking and performing search and rescue during this hurricane; it is horrible that situations like this happen during state wide emergencies, but beautiful when communities come together.
A man doesn’t go from nothing to killing his ex wife, he’s been abusive first and that’s why she’s left him I would think. She was moving out, she was waiting for her house to be finished.
@@netsk2000 I don't think he went from nothing I think he had a lot of pent up rage. Picture someone telling you that they love you, having 2 kids with you. And then you find out that they have been sleeping around on you, want a divorce, wont move out and then flaunt their new relationship infront of you. Then tell you the reason why they fooled around on you is cause your a lame duck in bed. That would piss most rational people off pretty badly, this is the first time in one of these video's where I look at the victim and think that they were a pretty shitty person as well. Not deserving to be killed but a person that definitely has more issues then a coat of paint and is definitely not innocent either.
I love this channel. This guy is amazing at telling tragic true crime stories with fact-based, humor-twinged, informative narrative that is both compelling and entertaining. Without click bait narrative to re-victimize the fallen and their loved ones. Spot on!
I absolutely love the way you tell these stories I find myself listening to you in the car on my way to work and from patient to patient, lol your my audible I love it! Your voice is soothing and I love the little jokes and puns you say in between the stories. Keep up the great work I love your channel.
@@Mia-cg9em Wanna explain how those are related? I could make fun of your toenails and you couldn't use the Civil War as a reason I can't joke about it .
Gonna destroy Matt's ass yes Ass. I’d love to explain how tho I like Mike & enjoy his videos like as all cable criminal channels. Crystal was a real person. It’s not about Mikes story telling. He does it well. It’s about the subject matter Ass
@@gevara454 no it was the jealous ex-husband that caused all that by killing her. You don’t deserve to be murdered because you are a cheater. You deserve divorce and to be cheated on.
Yeah but you can’t live like she did and expect nothing bad to happen to you. The guy isn’t justified in murdering her but she literally was playing with peoples emotions. She had a husband and kids at home that she was traveling all over the world sleeping around with tons of people. Maybe it was karma that bit her in the butt. Having a bad childhood doesn’t mean you get to do things like that..
I was choked out once. For some reason this made me realize how blessed i am to still be alive after i blacked out seconds into it. I didnt have to wake back up but i did. So thanks God
Tara Briggs as soon as the episode began I figured the EX Hus did it. She humiliated him essentially, and with 2 kids ya can’t just bail and move away to a different city or whatever. Steve was a ticking time bomb...she shoulda factored that in as well. Why keep living with him? Oh well, real shame for those kids
Hard part about binging your channel or any channel... eventually the goodness comes to a PAUSE. Onviously I'm not done binging and got your alert on skipping a video due to your own issues. I do hope you're feeling well, whether it be health wise or whatever. I'll still be here for the new vids! Love you channel so much! In fact, don't know why I haven't binged earlier. Doesn't matter. Looking forward to more of The Chapter!!! ♡♡♡♡♡
I think Chrystal brought a lot of this on to herself. Flying around having affairs while married with two children is asking for trouble. Steve appears to have been a very loving caring husband and father and Chrystal seems to be the kind of woman who uses men and telling someone basically you are not good in bed as you return from spending the night with your new lover is not exactly tactful! LOL Also sharing a home with your ex-husband, whom you know took the divorce very hard and was still wearing his wedding right was downright stupid. It was a bomb ready to blow. Whatever her problems were, she seems to have enjoyed chaos and drama. Chrystal's behaviour contributed to this killing.
@@ritaheilig3575 I may be wrong but I think being born to two meth addicts, losing them both withing 6 months of each other, then being abducted and raped could have a smidge to do with how she behaved.
@Remember Lord Jesus Pray the Rosary not everyone believes or wants to believe in your God for their own reasons. Everyone handles things differently and you may not be aware, but being born addicted to drugs already puts you behind in your start in life.
Imagine going through your parents addiction and subsequent deaths, being a child prisoner, etc just to have your life snuffed out like that. Horrible.
@@JP-dw1fp how was she just 'asking for it'? We don't know what type of trauma she went through and how that messed her up. No matter what type of a person she was she didn't deserved to be killed like that.
@@JP-dw1fp but she didn't got killed cause of that. She died cause the guy couldn't accept the fact that she didn't liked him anymore, that they were divorced. Her lifestyle/choices weren't great. But he had no right to kill her. And she never deserved to die like that no matter how her life style was. A man with a pea sized brain but huge ego was the reason she died.
@@thevilonesfr ''And she never deserved to die like that no matter how her life style was. A man with a pea sized brain but huge ego was the reason she died''.Yup. That and the fact that she was asking for it. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Will someone please get this guy a series on Netflix already? His format is perfect for those who have ADD, like myself. Im sure it’s great for those who are awesome at paying attention to longer documentaries too! :)
I will NEVER understand people. You know when I found out my wife was knocking boots with another guy, I was more than happy to see her go, and I never was in the mood for murder. She made a decision, ok. Time for a new chapter.
Yeah but in this situation she lived WITH him whilst in the new relationship. That is dangerous no matter what sex you are. She had affairs whilst they were married, then asked for a divorce, then moved onto another relationship whilst living under the same roof. I don't know anyone - male or female - who'd live with that due to the danger involved.
You, sir, don't seem to grasp this fact: love is not about control. If someone does not love me with her own free will, then it is not love. If someone cheats on you, then she freely chooses another path. If I kill her in response, it would seem I actually hated her.
I caught my husband having a sleazy affair with the slut in his cheesy garage band. Of course he denied, denied, denied it.....gaslighting par excellence..... I loathe him...but murder is not in my wheelhouse...so...divorce it is.
I say this from experience, please protect your mental well being, this side of human nature is an insideous beast and has a way of affecting you subtley. Excellent channel.
Yes, Dark Matters had that issue, she has completely deleted her channel now which is sad as she dealt with the cases she covered in such a sympathetic way.
yup, if he would have called the sec this happened, they would have given him the "crime of passion" defense and I bet he would have gotten the hand slap. but cause he went through great lengths to cover it up it gets tossed out the window. see from most of these videos I feel like this would work if they would just call and confess and not like you know chop up the body's and burn them and go full psychopath.
As a Hurricane Harvey victim, thanks for the coverage of what happened. I know it's crazy to say during Crystal's story, but you did a great job with it. I had no idea this was happening, so I appreciate you telling her story.
Never a good idea to flaunt your relationship's in front of an ex that still loves you, it's really kind of mean BUT no one deserves to die because of their insensitivity
She was a woman raised by a man who literally told the cops, in the video you just watched, that she had a fetish for “weird men” and screwed anyone with a pulse. I can’t imagine why her ex-husband wasn’t exactly thrilled by their two young daughters being inevitably left in such a woman’s custody once her house had been remodelled.
@ Joanna Hampton.....agreed. I am by no means celebrating her death, but she was being an asshole and it drove him mad. You don’t flaunt your affairs in this guy’s face, while still under the same roof. She definitely didn’t handle this in an eloquent manner and she paid the ultimate price.
Blind love? She really made him her bitch until he snapped. I usually don't believe a killer, but i really believed him when he said he loved her. Maybe he thought he could change her. Honestly, this is sad for them both. She couldn't lead a healthy relationship and he really wanted to make her.
Bet he was the playboy and cut a deal with New Boyfriend. Set the Whole thing up. If it looks too good to be True it probably means Run like Hell Lady. Or man. Infidelity doesn’t discriminate. 🤦♀️
She slept around while being married. She then started dating another guy while still living with her ex, whom still loved her and shared kids with her. Sometimes actions have consequences.
@@YOgooshusWHAT You didn't go back far enough. Her parents named after the drug that ended up killing both of them when she was still a developing child. If you don't think those catastrophic events didn't effect the adult she eventually became, then you need to go read a book or something, educate yourself more.
You’re kidding me. The last video I watched, I finally realize you only have 3 tops (floating torso sweater, burgundy with buttons and flannel)... and now (here) you’re wearing two of the three at once?! I feel like I’m being pranked
Survival Rules During Separation 1- Don’t remain living under the same roof with your soon ex to be. So don’t start the separation until you have a place to go and enough money to survive a couple of months after the separation. 2- If you are legally married, DON’T start dating until the divorce is totally completed. Dating before the completion is considered cheating (like it or not). 3- Is safer and healthy to wait at least a couple of months before dating again. 4- Keep your new dating low profile for a while.
Not always. 1-did that. 2-did that. 3-nope. 4-nope. Married for 20 years now to the guy I met while still in joint house. Relationship with ex - pretty non-existent but we have no kids. Would be friendly if we ran into each other. We both were done with marriage. All of these rules aren’t really real rules. Murder has happened with couples where they were together and the victim thought things were fine. Where victim did everything you said above. Happened in every circumstance you can think of between people. There are no rules except maybe stay away from people who seem really unstable. But then again there are people walking around today that were involved with unstable people. It is almost like after watching a ton of these that you can’t really tell who is going to murder you. Who is just going to make your life hell. I would say odds are greater with someone in your life that is obviously violent and controlling but even then I think better to get away because that is a miserable way to live.
That’s very sad she was named after crystal meth, had drug addict parents and was abducted at 13. Then to top it all off murdered during the hurricanes 😭 She’s very beautiful!
That abuse she went through when she was younger probably made it hard for her to even have a steady relationship and is probably why she had affairs. That abuse as a child really haunted her for her whole life. So freaking sad
omg so funny you said that! my 17 yr old son kept talking about that soap! like he wonders if its that good? so i got him a 3pk for like $25! an he loves it! now i have to keep buying this expensive ass soap! lol
@@TariAkpodiete well i don’t HAVE to buy them! i just meant i usually pick up up $3 soap for him now compared to these prices! i’m getting him a bunch of them with his bday present, an he’s a full time student so i don’t mind buying him soap ;)
Normal people: I wanna be beautiful, popular, have a beautiful family, friends who miss me in 10 minutes, be rich, live somewhere scenic maybe near a beach or forest. Me, a That Chapter fan: I'm feeling pretty good about my life expectancy, thank you very much.
ok Mike, I have been binging you for a week.... now on the last 'old' video... but I gotta go catch your new stuff from today. Thanks for always making these the best . Your hard work shines through!
I just want to say that having been through Harvey, I have never been more proud of my city when Houstonians came together to help each other in the aftermath. Harvey was devastating but the way neighbors helped each other - and total strangers - was inspiring. Steven took advantage of the chaos in an evil way, while the rest of us were coming to one another’s aid. Tonight, exactly three years later, we’re preparing for the possibility of Hurricane Laura. To keep calm, I’m bingeing Mike’s videos ... again. I wish Crystal didn’t have to be a subject of such a video, but it keeps her memory alive. Anyway, thanks, man! Wish us all luck! ⛈🍀 The coast from here through Louisiana needs it!
I've watched more of this dude than of netflix in the last month . And this is free . Clicking every ad . He never stops with content.
I’ve been watching him for literally years and I’ve yet to see every video I watch most days too. Sometimes I rewatch old episodes but usually there is always new content

And yet he was trying to protect her killer. How dumb can someone be? Yeah sure, the new boyfriend who has no motive is the one who killed her, and not the psycho ex. Makes sense.
What about Steve? Did you see how his appearance changed? She deserved her fate
Mike: "Canada better watch it's back. Texas is quickly climbing the ranks of crazy case locations."
Florida: "Hold my beer."
Mark B, I thought of Florida too 😉
Gary, Indiana says: "Amatures"
Florida is a messy place, but they also make all arrest records public, so you do hear about all the crazy crimes people are arrested for. I'm sure every state and country has some insane criminals running about but you don't hear about it, get the names of those people and pictures to go with it.
However, Canada is still top ranking for me. We're a large country by area, but only have under 30 million total poluation. I live in a place called Labrador, which is about as big as the state of California with a population of about 25,000 people. California has a total population about equal to the entirety of Canada, so it stands out even more when you hear about such horrific crimes being committed here.
Lol too funny
Fat Turtle, you missed a few million of us! Still nasty when there's a murder though, no matter the place or the population. Mike is picking on Canada sometimes, me thinks 😉!

Poor crystal? She was a cheat and a skank... No sympathy for her...
Lol Not trying to be funny but crystal was an absolute whore. That woman was screwing pretty much everything that wasn't nailed down.
hard to feel bad for her someone who cheats that much is basically asking for it
crime of passion
i feel bad for the kids and for the guy who got suckered by her
I was saying the same thing. She was a survivor and she overcame such horrific trauma living her best life. I can't believe that guy did it to her. She had people who loved her and some selfish evil bastard took her life and her away from them. I had been hoping that Crystal would survive and be found... I know it's naïve to hope but she gone through so much, I hoped she would have made it through this too. RIP Crystal.
Mike's worst nightmare scenario: Three thirty year-olds, having a threesome, are killed by three thirty three year-olds, at three thirty-three am, on Thursday the thirteenth...
😂🤣😂
Or the third of anything. Lol
🤣🤣 but why the worst?? I don't think Mike has problem with 3's maybe only you do.
Btw, I love how he says 33, 13....etc. it is so cute
Adam Beckett Lolol! Yes
Actually his dream.
Pretty tragic that she lost her parents within six months of eachother and then her own children went on to suffer the same fate, albeit for very different reasons.
L Uns the only difference is the circumstances. The root cause was the same. Selfishness. Selfishness on her part for not putting her children first and selfishness on his part for not being man enough to let go of a woman that no longer wanted him. The cycle remains unbroken.

Yup. Just like it’s never a mannequin!

It’s interesting to see how much mikes video dialogue has improved over the years. His sarcastic, entertaining demeanor has peaked and the videos have gotten better and better!

It makes my day when Mike wears both of his shirts.
Doesn't it tho. I'm partial to the Henley. The Hawaiian is a nice change of pace too.
😂😂
I know, right? Perhaps a bit chilly in the studioo today. Presuming Mike washes these shirts regularly it's amazing they're keeping their color and holding up in terms of structure. Unless, of course, he has a closet full of dupes.
It really brings out his eyes against the dark backdrop!
@@TeleNikon A sensible precaution. I've definitely bought the occasional second shirt or dress when it was something I knew I'd run into the ground, esp when I was lucky enough to spot it on sale.

I've never heard a story where the bad guy used a natural disaster to cover his tracks. That's actually kinda genius. Sounds like a movie plot. I'm glad this terrible man was caught.
Makes you wonder if anyone had a similar idea around the same time and was just never found out.
There's that dude in Florida i think that killed his wife during COVID.
There’s a case that’s never been covered about a guy that killed his wife and three kids when Mount Saint Helen erupted, put them in a storage locker and they were there for years until his new wife found a receipt for the locker or he stopped paying or something I can’t remember, but I can’t find anything about it online
there was another case during Katrina too - particularly awful

Its the hundreds of cheeks he clapped and then sent down the road.
It was his defense lawyer.

Mr.Ballen is and has been my favorite in this category ever since he came to RUclips. Man I looked, but could never find someone who was genuinely good at story telling. I randomly stumbled across Mike and now I'm binge watching every episode lol
Lol bro same here. This guy deserves every penny because of the research he puts in And unlike other content creators this guy does not hold back on sexual assaultsAnd other assaults involving miners. You know you're going to get all of the details when listening to this guy.
Yeah those are my two mainstays. Any other suggestions?
Exactly the same here. Exact.👍I'm benging big time with ole Mike.
I find My Ballen too hyper......
Ballen is trash
The greatest risk a woman has of being murdered by their ex husband/ boyfriend is around the time of separation or divorce.
Especially when living with the ex while dating another dude.
Some of these spouse killers seem to only need a bad fight or insurance as the trigger, even without the threat of divorce.
As you do
@Earl Turner where did you get that fact from? Source!
A woman is also most likely to be murdered by the boyfriend/husband when she is pregnant
Time for Everyone's favorite Mike. Happy Tuesday
He's wearing BOTH shirts, this guy means business 😂😂
A year on like he has no other clothes.. the same ones every video though really?
Hilarious!
😂🤣😂
Yeah. I've noticed on some occasions I will see Mike wearing both shirts at once. Lol!
I absolutely am in love with him
He's the total opposite of what I normally go for and I can't put my finger on what exactly it is about him that has me feeling like a school girl.
He's adorable
There's definitely gotta be a good reason for why he is always wearing one of the two shirts or even on the very rare occasions when he's got them both on at once. Maybe he's explained it and we haven't seen it yet. But surely he's got more than 2 shirts. I'll go out shopping tomorrow and buy him a ton of new shirts so he's not spending his money and we can see him in something different and finally focus 100 % on the videos instead of driving ourselves crazy wondering about these 2 shirts lol
"And lead to 100 tree deaths" 😂 I love this guys accent.
If you ended it with, "and he would've gotten away with it too if it werent for those meddling Winds," it would have been too perfect.

Hey Mike! A suggestion for a video: Michelle Blair, the “Freeze mom”. Shocking story and I think you would tell really well.
Yes! Stoney Blair's "mom"
I really want to see this now
What an absolutely tragic and awful start to life. I’m surprised SHE wasn’t a serial killer or something.
Well she was an "or something," she was a serial adulterer. Obviously much lower on the totem pole of bad shit and she definitely didn't deserve to be strangled to death for it, but I think it's fair to say that she didn't come out of that childhood as a totally well-adjusted person.
Well, it's actually not uncommon for people with a bad background to come out wanting to be the opposite of what their parents were. I had a shit childhood, foster care and a bunch of other garbage, but I am now married with a son living in a nice house with a wife that looks the exact opposite of my mom, who I barely can stand.

Why read the comments AND say that you don’t understand the jokes? bawahahaha! Crazy!
I have just read all the comments regarding clicking ads vs blocking ads and how it may affect Mike getting paid....if you truly want to help support his channel, please consider his Patreon link. That way you can truly make sure that your money goes to help him continue to provide great content, along with his undeniable charm. He is amazing and certainly worthy of my contribution every month.

Now, let's give it a goo.
“If you catch me drift”, Jesus Christ mike haha.
Sidenote but my parents also had to continue living together for a few months after they decided to split up and if there are any parents reading this - as a child of a situation like that (minus the murder) - PLEASE don't keep living together unless your break up is extremely amicable. PLEASE don't do that to your kids. Stay at friends and family's houses while you split the bills. But don't do it. You do irreparable damage. Take a week to transition out and then go. Please.
Parent don’t get “separated”. If you have kids “divorce” is impossible. Get this trough your heads you average degenerates.
Fawn Whisperer You seem very wise, when parents break up it is hard for them, but even more on the children....
Bo Hahimer for real? my parents told me they got divorced all those years ago. i knew those fuckers were lying!
Most of the time it has to do with money.
Well said. People need to think about how their actions affect their children way more than they do
I consider you to be a master storyteller, not many can engage audience like you do. It's an awesome gift.
I was kayaking and performing search and rescue during this hurricane; it is horrible that situations like this happen during state wide emergencies, but beautiful when communities come together.
It's never a good idea for estranged couple to stay in the same house.
Take a break.
I just cannot understand why she did not boot him out, that was weird.
Ya that must of been what caused him to murder her
@@constantdarkfog49 maybe she was afraid if she kicked him out he would kill her...
A man doesn’t go from nothing to killing his ex wife, he’s been abusive first and that’s why she’s left him I would think. She was moving out, she was waiting for her house to be finished.
@@netsk2000 I don't think he went from nothing I think he had a lot of pent up rage. Picture someone telling you that they love you, having 2 kids with you. And then you find out that they have been sleeping around on you, want a divorce, wont move out and then flaunt their new relationship infront of you. Then tell you the reason why they fooled around on you is cause your a lame duck in bed. That would piss most rational people off pretty badly, this is the first time in one of these video's where I look at the victim and think that they were a pretty shitty person as well. Not deserving to be killed but a person that definitely has more issues then a coat of paint and is definitely not innocent either.
We're about to get a hurricane, Mike. Now you've given people ideas.
Not to hug their partner to death just before

@@gevara454 ignorant comment. Victim blaming 🙄
Yeah but you can’t live like she did and expect nothing bad to happen to you. The guy isn’t justified in murdering her but she literally was playing with peoples emotions. She had a husband and kids at home that she was traveling all over the world sleeping around with tons of people. Maybe it was karma that bit her in the butt. Having a bad childhood doesn’t mean you get to do things like that..

Looking forward to more of The Chapter!!! ♡♡♡♡♡
This poor woman, she went through so much.
I think Chrystal brought a lot of this on to herself. Flying around having affairs while married with two children is asking for trouble. Steve appears to have been a very loving caring husband and father and Chrystal seems to be the kind of woman who uses men and telling someone basically you are not good in bed as you return from spending the night with your new lover is not exactly tactful! LOL Also sharing a home with your ex-husband, whom you know took the divorce very hard and was still wearing his wedding right was downright stupid. It was a bomb ready to blow. Whatever her problems were, she seems to have enjoyed chaos and drama. Chrystal's behaviour contributed to this killing.
I think OP was referring to everything that happened in her life, like early on. Not just the murder.
Sounds also like a lot of people went through her.
@@ritaheilig3575 I may be wrong but I think being born to two meth addicts, losing them both withing 6 months of each other, then being abducted and raped could have a smidge to do with how she behaved.
@Remember Lord Jesus Pray the Rosary not everyone believes or wants to believe in your God for their own reasons. Everyone handles things differently and you may not be aware, but being born addicted to drugs already puts you behind in your start in life.
Imagine going through your parents addiction and subsequent deaths, being a child prisoner, etc just to have your life snuffed out like that. Horrible.
Allison My sentiments exactly. It is so sad!

In Northwest Houston. Lets hope its not bad and not alot of flooding. *fingers crossed*

Houston can flood with or without a hurricane. It’s like a giant bowl of cement.
I will NEVER understand people. You know when I found out my wife was knocking boots with another guy, I was more than happy to see her go, and I never was in the mood for murder.
She made a decision, ok. Time for a new chapter.
Yeah but in this situation she lived WITH him whilst in the new relationship. That is dangerous no matter what sex you are. She had affairs whilst they were married, then asked for a divorce, then moved onto another relationship whilst living under the same roof. I don't know anyone - male or female - who'd live with that due to the danger involved.
You obviously didnt love her....
You, sir, don't seem to grasp this fact: love is not about control. If someone does not love me with her own free will, then it is not love.
If someone cheats on you, then she freely chooses another path. If I kill her in response, it would seem I actually hated her.
@@johnjames4007 love is also a choice,. You change when someone emotionally and mentally abuses you. Your feelings towards that person change
I caught my husband having a sleazy affair with the slut in his cheesy garage band. Of course he denied, denied, denied it.....gaslighting par excellence.....
I loathe him...but murder is not in my wheelhouse...so...divorce it is.
I say this from experience, please protect your mental well being, this side of human nature is an insideous beast and has a way of affecting you subtley. Excellent channel.
Yes, Dark Matters had that issue, she has completely deleted her channel now which is sad as she dealt with the cases she covered in such a sympathetic way.
👏🇬🇧WELL SAID..
Mike even gave us a meteorological synopsis for the hurricane, that’s impressive!
How do they manage to mix up love and egoism? I loved her so much so now our two kids are orphans.
Her uncle told the Out Smart magazine that the part about Crystal being named after a drug isn't true - the name was chosen by her grandmothers.
Hiding the body kinda put a hole in the "crime of passion" defense.
yup, if he would have called the sec this happened, they would have given him the "crime of passion" defense and I bet he would have gotten the hand slap. but cause he went through great lengths to cover it up it gets tossed out the window. see from most of these videos I feel like this would work if they would just call and confess and not like you know chop up the body's and burn them and go full psychopath.
As a Hurricane Harvey victim, thanks for the coverage of what happened. I know it's crazy to say during Crystal's story, but you did a great job with it. I had no idea this was happening, so I appreciate you telling her story.
Never a good idea to flaunt your relationship's in front of an ex that still loves you, it's really kind of mean BUT no one deserves to die because of their insensitivity
She was a woman raised by a man who literally told the cops, in the video you just watched, that she had a fetish for “weird men” and screwed anyone with a pulse.
I can’t imagine why her ex-husband wasn’t exactly thrilled by their two young daughters being inevitably left in such a woman’s custody once her house had been remodelled.
@@michaeljames4904 She had a son & a daughter. The son being the oldest. He had long blonde hair. Not 2 daughters.🙂
@SpruceMoose just curious, honesty want to know what u mean...care to elaborate?..
@ Joanna Hampton.....agreed. I am by no means celebrating her death, but she was being an asshole and it drove him mad. You don’t flaunt your affairs in this guy’s face, while still under the same roof. She definitely didn’t handle this in an eloquent manner and she paid the ultimate price.
Finally someone said it
I don’t understand why he would even allow her to stay after all those affairs?? She’d be OUT.
Blind love? She really made him her bitch until he snapped. I usually don't believe a killer, but i really believed him when he said he loved her. Maybe he thought he could change her. Honestly, this is sad for them both. She couldn't lead a healthy relationship and he really wanted to make her.
Jeffrey Dohnger then why she married him at first place
@Jeffrey Dohnger sounds more like one was open while the other partner was in an actual marriage.
Bet he was the playboy and cut a deal with New Boyfriend. Set the Whole thing up. If it looks too good to be True it probably means Run like Hell Lady. Or man. Infidelity doesn’t discriminate. 🤦♀️
@@cherylmahaffey6184 He was actually just a mega simp. Man had a leash around his neck.
Good grief. This woman was doomed from the start.
Wow you are right. I was in begining of video and thought why would she be doomed. Crystal meth. Not a good start to a life..
She slept around while being married. She then started dating another guy while still living with her ex, whom still loved her and shared kids with her. Sometimes actions have consequences.
@@YOgooshusWHAT I agree, thats like playing with fire. Egos come into play as well.
@@YOgooshusWHAT You didn't go back far enough. Her parents named after the drug that ended up killing both of them when she was still a developing child. If you don't think those catastrophic events didn't effect the adult she eventually became, then you need to go read a book or something, educate yourself more.
You’re kidding me. The last video I watched, I finally realize you only have 3 tops (floating torso sweater, burgundy with buttons and flannel)... and now (here) you’re wearing two of the three at once?! I feel like I’m being pranked
Don't care! You go Mike!!
Crystal had such a tragic back story... imagine surging all that just to end the way she did!
Survival Rules During Separation
1- Don’t remain living under the same roof with your soon ex to be. So don’t start the separation until you have a place to go and enough money to survive a couple of months after the separation.
2- If you are legally married, DON’T start dating until the divorce is totally completed. Dating before the completion is considered cheating (like it or not).
3- Is safer and healthy to wait at least a couple of months before dating again.
4- Keep your new dating low profile for a while.
All of this. No one deserves to be murdered, but you should never add insult to injury.
@@reiserkeiser we should learn from others experiences and situations
that rules should be in any married book and any divorce attorney and marriage counselor why they don’t speak a bout that !
"Oh here is a guide, how to avoid getting killed by your ex husband/wife." ...
Not always. 1-did that. 2-did that. 3-nope. 4-nope. Married for 20 years now to the guy I met while still in joint house. Relationship with ex - pretty non-existent but we have no kids. Would be friendly if we ran into each other. We both were done with marriage. All of these rules aren’t really real rules. Murder has happened with couples where they were together and the victim thought things were fine. Where victim did everything you said above. Happened in every circumstance you can think of between people. There are no rules except maybe stay away from people who seem really unstable. But then again there are people walking around today that were involved with unstable people. It is almost like after watching a ton of these that you can’t really tell who is going to murder you. Who is just going to make your life hell. I would say odds are greater with someone in your life that is obviously violent and controlling but even then I think better to get away because that is a miserable way to live.
That’s very sad she was named after crystal meth, had drug addict parents and was abducted at 13. Then to top it all off murdered during the hurricanes 😭 She’s very beautiful!
Make up magic and she ugly inside
She’s fiiiine
That abuse she went through when she was younger probably made it hard for her to even have a steady relationship and is probably why she had affairs. That abuse as a child really haunted her for her whole life. So freaking sad
srsly. some people get seriously fucked in this life.
@@sizzlemcbracki8540 my thoughts exactly ... Plus bad taste in men.
Mike: "A blender full of sh!t...in a hurricane."
Perfect recipe for a sh!tstorm.
You ever decide you won’t buy a product just based on the fact that you see their ads so goddamn much?
I’m looking at you Dr. Squatch...
At least those ads are funny. The products also DO have good ingredients so I approve
omg so funny you said that! my 17 yr old son kept talking about that soap! like he wonders if its that good? so i got him a 3pk for like $25! an he loves it! now i have to keep buying this expensive ass soap! lol
@@brandy_lish > why can't he buy it for himself?!
@@TariAkpodiete well i don’t HAVE to buy them! i just meant i usually pick up up $3 soap for him now compared to these prices! i’m getting him a bunch of them with his bday present, an he’s a full time student so i don’t mind buying him soap ;)
@@brandy_lish > well, at least he washes, so that's good!
Normal people: I wanna be beautiful, popular, have a beautiful family, friends who miss me in 10 minutes, be rich, live somewhere scenic maybe near a beach or forest.
Me, a That Chapter fan: I'm feeling pretty good about my life expectancy, thank you very much.
💯
The timing of this is impeccable Texas is about to face another hurricane
Mmmm no
ok Mike, I have been binging you for a week.... now on the last 'old' video... but I gotta go catch your new stuff from today. Thanks for always making these the best . Your hard work shines through!
I hollered when he said the husband, failed with flying colors🤣🤣
I just want to say that having been through Harvey, I have never been more proud of my city when Houstonians came together to help each other in the aftermath. Harvey was devastating but the way neighbors helped each other - and total strangers - was inspiring. Steven took advantage of the chaos in an evil way, while the rest of us were coming to one another’s aid. Tonight, exactly three years later, we’re preparing for the possibility of Hurricane Laura. To keep calm, I’m bingeing Mike’s videos ... again. I wish Crystal didn’t have to be a subject of such a video, but it keeps her memory alive.
Anyway, thanks, man! Wish us all luck! ⛈🍀 The coast from here through Louisiana needs it!
I think you're in the wrong video.
LG2017 Jdirjdkfo Why do you think that?
In a world that tastes like a big ole spoonful of codliver oil every day, a new upload from Mike is like a TimTam bikkie. Love, Australia.
Imagine the betrayal her uncle felt. He trusted the murderer and defended him at the very beginning. RIP Crystal.
LOL.What about her husband? The mother of his children was nothing more than a filthy slu7...
