Hope everyone is doing well this Monday! This is another case that slipped by relatively unnoticed as it occurred around the same time of Gabby Petito's disappearance. Miya's case raises security concerns that I’d never even considered during my student years. What are your thoughts on student security? Do you think Armando should have been arrested earlier?

I also wanted to thank Khaligo for allowing me to use one of his audio tracks at 05:44. As soon as I found this budding creator's brooding ambient music I knew it would fit. You can check out and support Khaligo here: ruclips.net/video/w1QupetMLHM/видео.html
I'm a huge fan of your channel! Just want to say you do an amazing job with these cases, to shine a light on them and bring them attention they might not have gotten. Thank you for doing what you do and doing it so well!! 🧡🧡🧡🧡
@Coffehouse Crime Thank you for you enjoyable, victim oriented, hard work. I really appreciate your angle which doesn't pick the usual creepy focus towards the murderers, criminals rather than the people who's lives were snuffed out.
🙌
I'm sick right now and These videos always make me smile and become happy thanks 😂🤣☺
Amazing, funny, hilarious and entertaining video as always! Keep it up!
There’s a real problem with maintenance workers at apartments. I acquired a stalker from an apartment once. I had to move cities, change cars, jobs, appearance…I haven’t been the same since. Spoke to a friend last week who is moving due to the SAME exact circumstance. They need to run thorough background checks on these workers, this happens way too much.
Thats terrible sorry you went through that nobody should go through that
Not only thorough background checks, but implement resident surveys where they can voice concerns of a stalker so the owners/police can investigate accordingly.
Yeah it’s gross it’s like they purposely take the job because they have access to the keys of plenty of vulnerable women
Seems to be an American thing. Criminal background checks is very routine in England for most every job working with the public or where you can have access to young, old or vulnerable.
😢
Nothing scarier than not being safe in your own home.
The Apartment Complex is very negligent, he had basically 24/7 Wherever he wanted to go and it didnt seem anyone was keeping an eye on him
The Maintenance men prey on women a lot, find reasons to go to there apartment etc. this is a widespread problem. Not saying all maintenance men are like this just its a problem.
At work as well. Costco has no Cameras in the Distribution Center. And allows Sexual Harassment, blaming the female employees. "You have to deal with it.", "Happens all the time ", " Men are Men.", "Women must submit."... Were some of the responses the managers would give me after my reports. Fuck Costco.
This is planet earth, safe is not a thing anymore. Anywhere. Ever.
The illusion of safety. 😶
This girl went to my school, everyone knew her, she was super nice to everyone. Having such a tragedy strike close to home hurt our community deeply.
This isn't about you. Don't be so self-centered, just because she went to your school doesn't make you a poor victim of a tragedy. It didn't hurt you. Did you cry yourself to sleep every night? No you went about your life as normal. Instead of just paying your respect and giving your condolences to her family.. which you never cared to do you're Seeking attention and empathy from a tragedy.. just disrespectful.
@@natenate88bro who hurt you? Lmao
@@natenate88get some help
@@natenate88 How do you know what they did or didn't do? Your rant was not helpful and did not need to be typed.
@@natenate88Bro, how did OP make this about himself? You literally came here grasping at straws to be offended over someone’s personal experience with the victim. As a wise man once said, “you need to do better, mind your own business.”
This case rocked the Trinidadian community of Orlando. Knew her dad personally, he's a well known DJ. This was so sad. Such a beautiful young lady. May she eternally rest in perfect peace. 🕊️🇹🇹
For real tho. In my book she was a baby 😭. R.I.P 🙏
@@FrancistheBraveshe was. Also considering she was just fresh out of high school, she didn’t even get to experience adulthood
This case should open our eyes to the fact that maintenance workers should not have keys to tenants' apartments.
They should be issued a Master key by the front desk only went sent on a maintenance call and all uses of that key logged in the computer system as its used. That way if they use it in a door they weren't authorized to they would know. But it will likely never happen as such monitoring is expensive and no one cares enough to do anything to ensure that level of security. Why do you think Hotels advise you not to leave anything valuable in your room even inside the provided "safe" in the room? Because they know your room is not secure at all. My step father worked as a maintenance guy at a big hotel chain and behind the front desk is literally a box of master keys they can just grab from. In fact there were days he accidentally brought his key home with him and no one checked to ensure he returned it. Which means if I were unscrupulous I could had grabbed his key on those days, drove over and helped myself to any room I wanted. And since I wasn't an employee no one would had even suspected me as I would just appear as if I'm a guest.
Key should be issued to maintenance workers when work is being performed and a “issue and control log” be required
Keys can be cut easily
@@oneway6627 If your speaking of metal keys then yes, cutting a new key is easy. (Depending on the lock) However if its just a common cheap off the shelf lock then it can be just as easy to pick them. Thats why hotels and most places do not use them. They tend to use electronic keycards. Harder to copy but its not the copying that is an issue. Its lax security right out of the front desk and with employment checks.
I never understood why in the US the maintance guy has to have your key. It's so SO dangerous specially for kids or single women. In most countries they can't get into anyones apartment unless the person that lives in it allows them. Only the owner of the place or the one renting has the key and in fact ususally after a lease is over and the tenants leave, the owner changes the locks.
Dude was my neighbor for years before I moved out of Florida and to Texas. His family was always super nice, a bunch of people in one house, but he was the quietest one. Never really thought much of him because of the age difference we had. Crazy to find this out. Feel bad for his family because we were close when we were kids but not as bad as I do for the victim’s family. Heart goes out to her family, they seem strong together.
@karonic ゝ uh… they weren’t? Weird thing to try and make a point about.
@karonic ゝI am editing this because the comment I responded to is now gone. This comment is sarcastic, belittling the racist words of the user, karonic, who made the false equation between large families and immigration. I am white and have a large family. I know many wonderful large families of many types and colours and creeds. There is zero illegal activity in the fact of having a large or small family. Please do not attack me over your misunderstanding of my comment due to the very recent deletion of the comment I was responding to taking away context.
2nd edit: I am not responding to the main comment! The comment I responded to basically said "of course they were all packed into the house because they're illegal immigrants." That was what I was responding to and calling racist. Please, READ.
^^^^
I love this logic.
House full of children? Big family? Obviously, there's bad things happening. Family lives together? Clearly there's something illegal happening.
Having big families is not an American thing! White families are small and don't live together. Only illegal immigrants have big families and live together.
🤣🤣🤣
You're silly.
@karonic ゝ Have you ever been to the hills in Kentucky,, Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, you want to talk about people-packing, many are 4-5 generations in one beat-up old trailer without essentials like running water, electricity?
@@MellowMaromi exactly, I’m white and I live with 8 other people in a middle class family. Hate people that jump to dumb conclusions like that!
@karonic ゝ europeans will literally have 4 generations live under the same roof without anyone talking shit; yet this example is "illegal" behavior. If your argument to tear someone's entire culture/race/nationality applies to literally anyone else yet you only see as "bad" on one specific group, that's prejudice. Educate yourself so you don't look like a damn fool.
This creep was my maintenance worker and not only worked in my apartment several times, but spoke with my son on many occasions. This is where he ended up hanging himself.
My son spent several days with Miya's parents looking for her throughout our neighborhood and our surroundings forrest. My son said the hardest part was watching the desperate hope of her loving family. Her family never gave up! May God continue to bring them comfort.
I’m sorry you had the misfortune to meet that creep. The fact that he got away with his creepy past but allowed to work at the Arden Villas shows the apartment complex should have done screening to not let him work there
Wow that's insane I'm like you I can smell turd when I see one
absolutely vile excuse for a human being , Im sorry people like him are out there x God Bless
I knew that bastard in school he was a creep then and I remember throwing my juice at him cause he touch me.
I love how Adrian calls these scumbag murderers exactly what they are.
I was Miya’s close personal friend and I appreciate everything you said in this video. I dont watch any youtube videos of her because they aren’t covered correctly but you never fall short of what you do best. I love you Miya😞 thank you Adrian💙 and Happy Early birthday Miya💙💙
Her family is the definition of "You mess with one of us, you mess with all of us." They were ready to take this whole case into their hands.
That stake out they did was brilliant …I wish the police could’ve used that as probable cause for an official interrogation that was her bed comforter for sure! Ugh!
They remained respectful to the cops and the person who took their daughter. Ugh. You can tell this happened to such a nice family.
My heart broke in a million pieces Very close to home
@@ConstellationCommunication the family wouldve caught him before he was able to have fled. It's a shame but that's the cost of having red tape & laws that are meant to protect people from unlawful detainment. In this case though I really think he shouldve been arrested after having her items on him. Just keep him overnight while they investigated. They could've found a way to do that I'm sure, he was definitely guilty of a crime they couldve used to hold him
I applaud them, they were fierce! It's such a shame that it didn't really matter in the end... The police footage is sooo frustrating to watch! He's right there, lying through his teeth and they can't get him. Ugh! I hope he burns in hell.
This is so sad and not the first case of a creepy security guard or maintenance entering into a woman's apartment without consent. Not even the first case or the last I'll hear. It's so scary. People that are meant to protect you or help you end up being the most dangerous threat there. She didn't deserve this. All she was doing was trying to go to school, work, live as any normal woman her age and she wasn't even able to do that safely.
He was a maintenance worker, not a security guard.
@@leesteal4458 I forgot to add that my bad
There was another case in Orlando about 5 years ago.
@@njpme her name is Sasha Samsudean.
@@delonabunting4670 that's it. Sad situations.
This happened in my own neighborhood. I remember her father posting on Instagram to help find her before they knew she was murdered… it’s surreal having you speak about it. We watch these videos as entertainment and informative and we become desensitized to these stories sometimes, but hearing stories from your own city is sobering.
I just watched one from my home town. I feel you.
This is a huge fear of mine. I have an 18 year old daughter, she’s a cute, petite young woman. She just started working in a restaurant and, of course, gets the night shift. I hate it. I hate that a woman can be doing everything right in her life and a man can see her as disposable.
She could quit the night job and do something else.
@@azazello1784 why does someone need to change a job? People should be free to work any shift without fear
how is this about ''men''. It's about one crazy guy who got a job he has no business doing and a life was lost.
@@Knosferatu lol ok
@@mspro9032 i agree. But this is a grim reality. We can't just ignore how many evil are lurking specially at night. It's just being careful.
Mia's family definitely needs to sue that property management company.
It is criminally neglegent to hire any multi housing employee with a criminal record. Not only that but it's actually a violation of federal law.
Suing won't bring their loved one back obviously, but taking that company to the cleaners may stop them from doing business anymore and thereby protecting an untold amount of people.
YES!!!!! What has happened to the property management company?????
@@altheagarner2992Miya's family has sued The property owners "Pollack Shores Real Estate Group" who just recently sold the Arden Villas to "TH Real Estate" they've also named the estate of Armando Cabellero as defendant in the suit.
The apartment complex is liable for all damages it has allegedly caused under the Florida Wrongful Death Statute, the lawsuit charged.
@@hannahdover9961 Thank you very much for your response!
Much appreciated.
:)
@@hannahdover9961 I hope they win!
I live 10 minutes away from Arden Villa and its so crazy that you covered this story. She was found in a wooded ditch area near Texas Ave in Tymber Skan. My friend is friends with Miyas family and it really hit home that this happened. The family is currently fighting for the Miya Marcano Law: prevent apartment workers and third parties from gaining access to units without probable cause to insure safety and protection. Although the family is trying to get the government´s attention to pass this law, it is becoming increasingly difficult with the lack of attention and lack of cooperation that Arden management has shown. He was completely obsessed with her and he knew of her plans to leave back to South Florida. He killed himself because not only was he guilty of the murder, but he didn’t want to own up to it.
Thankfully DeSantis has signed the Bill into law in late June 2022.
*_"Miya's Law"_*
It's to strengthen residential tenant safety measures including requiring background checks for prospective employees, maintaining a log for each dwelling unit's keys, and increasing notification requirements for maintenance and repairs ...
@@hannahdover9961 another win for DeSantis
I just have to say I’m so proud of the family for keeping the pressure on that man! They didn’t just sit back, they took action!
The fact that I spoke to both of them just a day or two before this happened still gives me chills. I live in Arden Villas rn & they wouldn’t let me break my lease unless I found someone to take over even though it made me very uncomfortable to live literally doors away from the murder. I haven’t finished the video, but if you see a black & orange challenger it’s my car. The security of the complex is still terrible & the lack of contact between residents & the office is still terrible. I hope they upgrade this whole complex because there where health issues even before the Miya case. Rest Well Miya
It's difficult to wrap your head around a case like this. This girl was doing everything right to create a good life for herself. We often talk about high-risk lifestyles & being involved with the wrong crowd, but Mia wasn't into anything like that, & yet, her life was snubbed even before it had begun. RIP Mia!
Welcome to reality.
You have no idea what she was actually into..and regardless it had nothing to do with the murder
If you think most cases are because the people had a "high risk lifestyle" (whatever that means) or were involved with the wrong kind of people... You obviously have no idea of what real life is. Most killers, rapists, attackers are lambda people around us. They attack people they feel an attraction to for X reason, it's completely unrelated to how the victim is living.
Which is why in most cases rapists are family members, teachers, family friends, babysitters, and such.
It's crazy that in 2022 people still can't wrap their head around that truth. Complete ignorance ? A rejection to the truth because it's too ugly ? Both ?
Either way, the fact people always try to find a logical reason to explain why _this_ particular person was attacked is why so many victims are too ashamed to speak, and it makes attacking innocents and getting away with it so much easier for the criminals.
@@Libellulaire it's only because you've made an effort to write such a long response, that I'm going to write something & explain what you've not understood. By the way, try having a polite discussion next time, instead of being condescending needlessly.
High risk lifestyle refers to people who indulge in activities that expose them to dangerous situations regularly, like frequenting shady bars during very late hours, or having a profession like that of a sex worker (it's no coincidence that sex workers are the most victimised strata of society, by serial killers/rapists & even random criminals)
Moving with the Wrong Crowd would be hanging out with druggies &/or the ones who are involved in petty crime, most often to keep their drug habit afloat. (Just a couple of examples)
Finally, I'm a counselor with 15+yrs of experience, I treat people with addictions & help them get back into the mainstream society. i also run an NGO for the victims of child sexual abuse. So, i know what you're referring to when you say family members & neighbours etc. That is Sexual Abuse & that almost never results in homicide. That is not to say homicides do not happen within family, friends or acquaintances. You are trying to pick up one fact from a completely different criminal scenario & inserting it elsewhere to prove whatever it is that you're trying to...i suggest that, instead of making sarcastic comments, understand what's written first. Cheers!!
@@divinedevil preach
In my first year of university, a girl from Bermuda was hit and killed by a car near campus. The police figured that because she was from such a small island, she didn't realize how fast cars move here in Canada and got hit because of it. It was in the first week of school too, imagine sending your child off to school in a foreign country and they come home in a box in less than a week...
They did what? Do they think cars are a rarity outside the US? How insulting!
I remember a great niece of mine asking me if we had fridges over here in Germany... But she was 8, so she is excused.
🥺😭 that's so sad
@@hafusan Canada. Not the US.
And people wonder why there’s little faith in the system
@@hafusan Perhaps do a little research before jumping to this conclusion. The speed limit in Bermuda is around 23mph due to the narrow roads. So yeah, cars in Canada (not the US as you also erroneously claimed) would be travelling very fast.
Exactly why I’m against maintenance men being allowed to enter your unit when you’re not present. So sad
Could be worse if you are there.
The bigger issue is when your present asleep!
So sad. Not sure if you've covered the case of Sasha Samsudean, but it has so many parallels. Also happened in Orlando, FL. She came home from the bar/club and went into her apartment by herself late at night. Security guard who was on shift for the building used some kind of key card to go into her apartment later on. I read he also had some kind of criminal/mental health record that was apparently ignored by the complex he worked for.
It’s a shame Miya couldn’t even be safe in her own residence; I don’t know what else she could have done differently to further protect herself and I can only imagine how terrifying those last hours would have been.
Thoughts going to her family and community for the completely senseless waste of life.
That’s the scariest part to me. There’s nothing she could have done differently to protect herself. Any time a guy tries to flirt with me I’m scared what will happen when I turn them down bc it could literally mean my life.
@@Evolving.Ellie. You ladies have my sympathies because you have to consider your safety in a way most guys don't. My beloved youngest female relatives are probably off to university in a few years and I hope they pick up a strong sense of self preservation.
If a murderer already has keys to your door.....
@@Evolving.Ellie. agreed. It’s a constant balancing game of “be nice enough to not make the guy pissed off that you’re not engaging with him” and “don’t be too nice, as to draw the person’s continued attention.” And even then, you still never know how the person will react.
It's bad enough that women are forced to take additional steps toward their safety while out of the house. But we can't even apply that logic to this case... she was inside her own home. If she couldn't inherently feel safe here, then where can she? It's devestating.
I have to side with the family's lawyer on this. This creep ultimately is responsible for this murder, but it was the property's fault as well; they should never have allowed a man like this to have free access to anyone's apartments. Their utter carelessness put Miya into a situation where she had no escape from this guy.
Being a Bahamian who watches your videos often, I'm glad you touched on a case that was so big and influential in the Caribbean community.
He touches many caribbean cases he’s so awesome and respectful 🤎🤎
Why? Everyone has touched on this story. All these true crime RUclipsrs all cover the same recycled stories. So many cases that haven't been covered and these MF's cover the same shit.
@@henny6566 the answer to your question ''why?'', is my initial comment. This is the only channel that EYE watch that did it.
This is the reason why I decided to buy my own apartment, I had my landlord break in without consent and then I didn't feel safe anymore to stay there. No one should have a key to your apartment, unless it's family and you gave them the keys.
Why wasn't he considered an immediate suspect?? 😢 He was a male colleague who was harassing her regularly despite her rejection, he was the last person known to have seen her, and her friends and family couldn't name anyone else with motive. That should make him an immediate suspect. The police could have at least asked him if he'd be willing to go with them to the station for questioning. Considering he showed up without prompt at 3 am when police were present, I think he likely would have said yes.
They did, this video doesn't show the whole body camera footage, but he said no and they have no evidence. Its easy to blame the police in hindsight but they have to follow the law and gather evidence before moving forward.
@@JQuackymax way too many excuses. They should have immediately taken him into custody him for the stalking texts and for being the last person to enter her room.
Embarrassing job by those officers.
@@Mr___f Again, They did not know that at the time, the texts are creepy sure, but not illegal, and they didn't know he was the last person to enter her room at that point. Were talking about Day 1 of the investigation, its just a police response at this point, they cant just arrest him on allegations that they haven't yet followed up on.
@@Mr___f the law is the law. Pre-trial exists. I bet if the police just do whatever the hell they want then the court has to free Armando due to them not following the law
@@Mr___fdamn look at Mr Lawmaker quoting the law book.
TY, Adrian. I followed this case when it first started, not that long ago. It always infuriates me when these type of scumbags kill themselves. I want them in court, convicted, and having to face the families of the victim, then sent to prison for life.
At least he can't hurt anymore people now
Life in prison is expensive for the taxpayer. Just give them lethal injection. Good riddance.
Nah them killing themselves is MUCH better
@ Rull Mourn I always wish these scumbags would take their own life, before they take the precious life of others, who don't deserve losing their life. Really sad story/
@@dantauche7917 trust me. Its not.
Ending his own life is one thing, but doing so without even disclosing where Miya was is ramping up the evil to another degree. He was already (wrongly) escaping his crimes, what use is there in hiding that information after you're gone?
RIP Miya, and I hope her law can prevent this exact kind of BS in the future.
Main reason is most likely to keep his memory alive. Most psychopaths commit crimes that bad knowing they won't survive, so they make sure it's still talked about
Ladies!! If you live alone, esp in an apartment where maintenance workers or owners can have access into your apartment make sure to put on a chain lock if there isn’t one already and always keep it locked! That way they can’t just freely walk in as they please, this is heartbreaking
He was in the room waiting for her!
@@deedee9835 Right,like what can you do these days smh.
This story hits way too close to home. Knew friends who dealt with similar issues bit I also had a creepy maintenance man in my appt building who was much older than me and would constantly make sexual advances that were rejected. He would come into my appt days before when I scheduled repairs or randomly unlock my door at times without adequate (24 hr) notice. I would sometimes come home to see that someone had looked through my personal items though I lived alone. The management didn't do anything until I had sent a total of three emails over a little under 11 mon (should have sent much more during my tenancy there) each quoting tenant rights laws and timing of illegal access with the last threatening legal action if they didn't finally take action to prevent him from continuing his habits. Only after my threat, they made him talk to management before grabbing a copy of an appt key and taking another maintenance worker with him. I left once my lease was up. Unfortunately in my life I've learned that management will protect a creep if they're a "good worker." Know your legal rights, tell your loved ones and management about it, get a deadbolt installed if you can, and get the hell out of there as soon as possible.
Hi I actually live at the complex, I remember driving back from my hometown and seeing all these new crews and people crowded outside of her building, I heard her mother weeping at what I latter found out was a vigil/ search party.
I can't tell you how scared alot of people were when this happened, there was a lot of talk of refusing to pay rent, and people were already upset at management for more minor stuff like parking and trash collection. I remember a few days later someone folded the property with fliers saying how Arden Villas was responsible, and how furious we all were that the best they did was offer a grief counselor a few times a week for a while. That was when the first talks of protests and the petition started.
There was police here every day, I remember coming back from class and seeing police dogs searching every garage for any clues. I called up my parents and they immediately got me a security camera and a portable door lock. Eventually bits of news came in, like how the guy the police were after killed himself, and eventually her body. It was an awful time.
But through it all Arden just kept their damn mouths shut, they promised more security cameras, more lights, and an ACTUAL guard in the guardhouse, none of that has happened and it's been months. Recently there's been issues of people doing hit and runs with parked cars, and not enough parking spaces. Arden's response was for us to park at the planned parenthood OUTSIDE the property. This complex is a dumpster fire, and I've very much looking forward to the end of the semester so I can get the hell out of here, lease be damned. I haven't even scratched the surface of all the shady things related to this case and just the company in general. I truly hope they can get Miya's law passed, and I hope the family sues Preiss for every last cent.
I hope you are able to move out and find better accommodation as soon as possible 🙏🏼
These stories really hit different when the victim at the center of the story is around your age and experiencing the same progression into adulthood as you are. Just so very heartbreaking, hope her and her family may find peace. ❤️
Also resonates with anyone who's had a stalker/obsessive person after them, no matter what age.
Doesn't it just 😔 Always breaks my heart thinking they likely experienced the same fads, trends, intereststs as me.
She’s literally a few days younger than me it absolutely broke my heart
I worked at the GameStop right by where all this happened, and I remember the day I had to throw away her missing persons poster. R.I.P. Miya, you were incredibly loved and will be missed
I admire the sensitivity, respect and humility you display to the victims of these heinous crimes. Bless you 👍🏻
Nobody should ever have the keys to your apart.ment. Nobody but family. No maintenance person should ever have keys to apartments, if so only 2 workers go into a apartment together.
Here in Germany this is not common practice at all, and I`m thankful for it. Poor Miya, RIP.
Agreed. I've now heard that a lot of people change their locks once they move in, and will put the original lock back on when moving out. This seems like the safest option because this kind of access is SCARY
@@pimpindymepiece You can definitely get in a lot of trouble for that
@@pimpindymepiece Never heard of changing the locks of an apartment as a normal thing. Usually leases have clauses that don't allow you to make any alterations to the apartment without the landlord's permission. I think you could be risking eviction for something like changing the locks without permission.
It’s definitely not something that happens in the UK either. The landlord doesn’t even enter his property without permission from the tenant.
@@Bettersucksaul Yes I know. But I know it's done, and maybe those that do it don't care about the incurred costs. If you can get away with changing it back before moving out & the landlord doesn't notice during your occupancy then I guess you'd be golden.
Miya's family is very well known in the Caribbean community in South Florida and the Caribbean community as a whole. We all rallied around the family when she first went missing; sharing, posting and highlighting her case while most mainstream media outlets were obsessing over Gabby Petito's disappearance. Everyone hoped and prayed for another outcome. May she continue to rest peacefully.
Stop trying to create division. Miya's case was quite well known in the media, I had certainly heard of it, you're attempt to belittle another missing/murdered woman's case does not cast you in a good light, again stop creating division. All missing/murdered people deserve recognition but there are thousands who receive none, and some certainly less than Miya.....and Gabby.
Miya's case shook us here in the Orlando area too. Many of us here still can't believe it happened.
We heard about Miya all the way over here in the UK, People were disgusted at both hers and Gabby's untimely passings. Literally no one was paying more attention to Gabby over Miya.....
@@_Y.Not_ nobody was stirring division. News outlets across the country were more focused on the Petito case than anything else.
@AndelleInWonderland that's not at all true. The Petito case garnered more air time than anything else at the time. Miya barely got more than a mention, whilst the Petito case got around the clock coverage. The Washington Post even ran an article in September of 2021, stating that even those working in the media expressed concerns that the Petito case was getting too much coverage. Why do Brits always try and tell us what is happening in our country? Don't you have a record breaking knife crime wave to be worried about? Fix the issues on your side of the pond before sticking your nose into ours.
RIP Miya. Such a heartbreaking story of a girl with such a wonderful smile. Thank you for giving the victim a voice, as you always do. She deserves to be remembered.
Wow this is a devastating case.. she was an absolutely STUNNING woman!! Rip Miya ❤️
Yea, reminds me of the Valarie Reyes case he covered. Absolutely gorgeous woman. Also killed by an idiot who couldn't handle rejection.
Killed himself to escape the consequences of his actions.
Then didn't even have the decency to give the family closure before he did.
I've stepped in dog shit more respectable than him.
Instead of moving on with his life and bettering himself so women feel safe and take a chance with him. He felt this was his legacy and life pathway.. I'd feel ashamed to be related to this guy
Exactly
@@digimonalvatrax2738 there's no bettering yourself after this. Unredeemable.
Oddly she had no problems accepting cashApp payments from the creepy man.
I'm thinking that probably wasn't a good move because men tend to see that as an invitation.
Again, not saying murder was justified only that these young ladies have to understand their power to attract how to manage it with the opposite sex. 😶
@sleepy Eevee
Sis 😶
i used to work at the fire station next to this apartment complex. It was by FAR the worst apartment complex in the UCF area, i would have never let any of my loved ones stay there. Just always something shady going on there. just sad. prayers to the family, she was a beautiful young woman. RIP.
That's crazy to hear, as an ignorant coffeeman outsider who knows nothing about Florida or the area, I'd have thought it would be a great place to be for a student! I don't think I'd have personally asked about background checks for masterkey holders either.
Once her body was found I started seeing horror stories about that complex. Sad
This case shook the Virgin Islands community to the core. I didn’t know amiga personally, but I know her mom, and this is so heartbreaking for their family
this case hit hard. I was a student at ucf during this case and the outpouring of love and support in the community was unmatched, even if it felt like there was an unspoken agreement that it felt like a futile search. after she was found, I remember seeing endless posters to rally over the security in apartment complexes, particularly in miya's apartment complex. it was devastating. this case will never leave me and I truly hope her family finds peace.
Hey mang, there should've been lawsuit filed for NOT having enough loudspeakers hooked up everywhere; blasting Cuban music like NITE and DAY 24/7/365! ✌😎👍
This was very heartbreaking for us in Trinidad and the Caribbean community who live in the US. RIP Miya, and condolences to her family who in my opinion were responsible for identifying the killer when the police failed! ❤☹
She had a trini back ground?
@@LookingForBooty16 Her father is Marlon Marcano, a DJ from Trinidad.
]
You could also argue that their involvement spooked him and caused him to flee, as the police were not far from identifying him as the culprit.
This definitely caused a major uproar in our West Indian/Caribbean community! The way we all came and banded together to raise awareness was incredible. Just not the outcome we all hoped for 😣😔 her legacy will live on, her family is doing amazing things in her name/honour!
Man, that was a sad story. I feel so bad for the family. I hope they sue the complex and win.
& want to know something really ironic I noticed? The killer was literally born on valentines day! Like wtf? Makes it seem like lifes a simulation lol. But yeah the family should sue them, especially after they pretended the background check on him was clean & people got things "mixed up".
But yeah imagine waiting to finally see a loved one at the airport getting off their plane.. only to have no idea they were already dead :/ What a nightmare. I cant imagine how it felt for each realization something was horribly wrong
@@frankmarano1118 the second thing you talked about, the airplane thing, I've had close to nightmares about that. Seriously, they never did a background check. They were trying to save their own ass. BS!
They should be mad at themselves for not raising her not to accept cashApp payments from so called creepy men. 😶
@@alphaomega1351 I really hope this was an attempt at a joke...
@@GetchaGwopUp
I really hope you get off drugs. 😶
Her apartment complex is right down the road from mine! I can't believe I never heard about this case! Thank you for shedding light on this case that was not well covered even in this very area!
almost moved into arden villas with my fiancée, literally toured and viewed their rooms. this case occured a month later and has never ceased to sadden, shock and terrify us; especially the fact that we were likely in the vicinity of the perp. so grateful to see someone covering this.. there's wayyyy too many buried/unreported cases linked to UCF. 🙏🕊
You should never trust anyone who works for your apartment complex. If someone comes by and says they need to make repairs, make sure you call the office to confirm this.
So there is this maintenance man here in my complex who unexpectedly knocked on my door and said he needed me to open the door so he could paint it (he works and lives here) I for one didn’t feel comfortable having my door wide open because of my small kitten I don’t feel comfortable AT ALL and I didn’t trust him anyway so I denied to open the door the condo board fined me 100 dollars!!!! 😤 and I mean I was leaving out to work also so I couldn’t stay and I wasn’t leaving my door open I don’t trust anyone
You should never trust anyone you don't know full stop. Be kind and polite, give people the benefit of the doubt by all means but never get too comfortable with them. Maybe that's just the way I am but it's kept me relatively safe so far. If anything freaks or creeps you out make sure you let someone know asap.
Lol don’t give people the benefit of the doubt because some people will deliberately steal from you simply because they had the opportunity to-
I totally understand why people hover over those they hire. You’re not there to be social, you’re there to ensure your rights are not infringed upon.
Lucky for me, the owners of the complex I live in ARE the maintenance guys. I text them directly if I need something so if it isn't one of them, I'm not opening the door
@@___erika Being cautious is one thing but treating people like thier fuckin criminals is what those assholes did when they shot and killed that guy for no reason. Dont think that your a good judge of character either. Jeffery Dahmers neighbors thought he was a good guy and that his apartment just smelled bad. John Wayne Gacy used to invite the police over for coffee while bodies were decomposing under his house.
My point is dont pre-judge people it can really fuckin back fire on you.
My hearts hurts every day for her. I live in the apartment complex she worked and lived in. I didn’t know her very well but I knew her enough to feel her kind spirit
This girl is from the island I grew up on and she disappeared on my 24th bday. It’s all everyone on this small island talked about until the devastating news. Everyone new from the very beginning who did it, it was so obvious it was the maintenance guy. Mia was so young, it’s so unfortunate how her life ended so abruptly…
Least to say, dude probably wouldn’t have lived long enough anyways considering he had Mia’s family and everyone on island looking to whoop his ass
Your delivery, and poise is unmatched compared to other true crime channels. You make it easy to engage and follow the story
I'm loving the casual insults that you smoothly add when addressing the perpetrators
There needs to be something similar to two-factor authorization before any maintenance personnel are allowed into someone's apartment without that person's express permission. They should have to check in at the main office and be granted permission, and the maintenance person's name, reason for entering, and time of entry kept in a log. The idea of master cards or keys is bullsh*t if there is no oversight. Miya was at the mercy of Armando _and_ an outdated and useless security system.
RIP, Miya. 💔
Exactly. Just hiring some random guy to be the maintenance man and giving him a master pass for all the apartments is crazy.
Aside from anything more sinister, it's a basic breach of the tenants privacy rights.
Who the hell thought that was a good idea??
@@FlameFlickers Even if the maintenance guy has no criminal background nobody should have a master key or be able to enter a tenant's house without permission. If the tenant lost their key then the tenant will need to pay for a locksmith and a new set of locks.
@@fc7307 I never mentioned anything about a criminal background. Your comment is basically agreeing with what I said!
You all must be very sheltered people.
Agreed!
You do an amazing job of telling theses stories- can’t be easy. Thank you!
Thank you SO much for covering this. I may not have known her but her father is a big influence in the Caribbean/Soca music community. As someone of Barbadian decent, myself and so many Caribbean music artists, DJs and complete strangers hoped for her safe return. Such a sad end for such a beautiful young lady.
Unfortunately, Miya's Law has already been significantly gutted as it works through the Florida Senate. A committee removed the background check requirement, the requirement to keep a log of who has access to master keys, and the requirement that the logs are updated annually.
This is crazy. It's crazy how many feel women dont need protection.
As an American, that's just sad, they gutted it that bad already. Expected better from the FL senate, but even here in AZ, ours disappoints too from time to time
That’s fucking ridiculous. That should be the bare minimum. Why would you hire random men off the street with no background check and give them keys to every persons home so they can enter at any point to rob, rape and murder???These apartment managers are straight up slum lords
I guess it's because men kill more other men than women each year?
That insane. It's literally a huge security and personal safety risk for them to just he lazy and not do any of that. It probably came down to money.
As a UCF student I remember seeing missing posters about her a couple of months ago, R.I.P
@Jeff P disrespectful
This case made me so sad.
I was born just a week after Miya and it always broke my heart when young people like me had their live taken like this...
That her soul may rest, she’ll be on my prayer tonight! ❤️🙏🏽
Thank you Adrian. I so look forward to your videos. It's done in a proessional way. You are i formative about the places, and people you are reporting on. Well done. Please do more cases in the states.
Such a sad loss. Sadly many who commit crimes like this go unpunished. 😞 thank you for the story. You are awesome.
They certainly will not go unpunished.
God promises eternal death in the Lake of Fire with terrible torment for all who reject Him and live in sin.
That includes you and me if we don't repent and put our trust in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ
@@TheAngieIshmael all right so you dont think he "repented" giving up his own life? We dont know if he was a coward only a matter time he was found so gave up or if actually felt remorse for what he did.
Everyone have a BLESSED DAY and STAY SAFE
Thank you 😊 You too!
@@ResidentEvie74 Thank you 😃
Thanks, you too!
I’m so happy I found your channel. Enjoy it very much. Too the point and factual. You don’t drag on and on. You have a new fan!
Another respectful video 😊. Love how you always send your love and good thoughts to the victim’s family.
As a Trinidadian, just like her dad, this hit us really hard locally... RIP Miya and thanks for covering her case
Sorry to the family for this tragic loss, this world is sick and it's getting worse. It's so important that people realize Jesus Christ is the true protector. He can arrange any circumstances, protect anyone in any situation. By living a life of sin, doing certain things, not caring, it can leave one more vulnerable spiritually. That's the truth in the spirit world. We need to pray over ourselves and family using the blood of Jesus Christ daily and get out of sin and many things in the world that actually open opens doorways to demons. This world is dark, evil, wicked, with some goodness. God almighty is real, please give you life to Jesus Christ. It's not about religion, I've never been a religious, Jesus is above religion, truly.
Over and over, I've seen such amazing things from Jesus all around the world and in my life, He is 100% real I assure you. Supernatural, natural, all around amazing, so amazing. Not myth or religion, but the maker of life and your soul. We're never promised tomorrow, heaven and hell are real, don't die in your sins, it's worse in the afterlife. Thousands of people including athiests have been taken in their spirit out of their body and seen hell. Cling to the LORD, get to know Him, seek Him, and you will find Him..Prioritize this, it's gonna be the most important in the end.
Please don't vilify all maintenance workers. Most of us are just hard working Americans. This guy had problems
I like your bit of personality coming through in this heartbreaking video. I remember when this happened, it made me buy a door jam for my apartment. Thank you Miya for looking out for us girls wherever you are.
So happy to see this was covered. Thank you!
Hi Adrian,
I really appreciate how much emphasis you put into honoring the victims in these cases. Usually it’s the killers that get all the attention and victims are left forgotten and barely mentioned. My brother was murdered back in 2016 and I can appreciate when people honor a victim’s memory because it’s what I do for my brother every day. I love your videos, keep it up!
Lesson here is dont change your mind easily when you accept to go on a date with a guy.
@@karlhans6678 not normal
Thank you for covering Miya's case. May she rest in peace.
New here, but it has quickly become one of my favorite channels. Maybe even THE favorite channel out of all of my subscriptions. I haven't heard of aa lot of these and even when I have there is still new info in each video. Can't wait to see what else happens on this channel. So far so good. So thank you for being great!!!
I went to school with her !! Literally remember when she went missing there was flyers everywhere!! I remember how stressful the whole situation was and how scared I was and still is about going on and off campus.
When they found her body I was in class and I remember just feeling my heart drop. It’s a sad situation overall tbh.
As if you really cared 🤷🏻♂️
You're brilliant at what you do. You tell a story but have so much respect for the victims and families man. Great stuff
Her smile was so beautiful and enchanting I'm sorry her life was cut short before she could bloom and grow.
Not really. I think her jaw bone was too wide.
@@azazello1784 sounds like a personal problem if you think that
@@jazcena no it sounds like what it was a opinion 😅👍
@@azazello1784 how petty and pathetic. The girl was murdered and that’s all you can say?! You got issues
@@Prawnsacrifice stupid opinion
Best videos!!! Thank you for all your hard work!
Your consistency is applaudable!
as a student in orlando i remember seeing missing person posters around campus. cases like these are always horrifying but sometimes when they happen so close to home, right around you it feels especially sickening
This story made many of us in the Caribbean community scared. Because sending our children and love ones off to college we would expect them to be safe even if they lived in an apartment off campus. Miya soul and story will never be forgotten. May she r.i.p❤️
You can literally say that about any family... this doesn't happen exclusively to Caribbean people.
People need castrating or put to death. Instead we send the. To jail and feed and cloth them a d keep them warm. I think the death penalty is a weird one. But some people need to be put to death or left in a room with the family
@@tami3456 yes that is very true. But I am speaking from my point of view as I’m from the Caribbean and this story particularly hit my community and environment very hard.
Another amazing story from Coffehouse crime this videos he makes make me so happy and are funny and entertaining 😏🤣😂😛
@@potato6436 what's wrong with you?
Thank you for highlighting cases that dont get the attention they deserve!
Great work as always, i did saw her in news couple of time but didn't knew she died, Rip Miya
Just a suggestion,
Can you like a series where you cover old cases like from the 19s or the 18s or even older if possible! since in those time there's wasn't much resources and ways to solve the cases, so would like to hear more details how do they do it, you can keep it like a 1 episode per month, you already working hard on these cases and we appreciate all your hard work
Who else randomly came across this channel one day and now can't stop watching his videos!
Being from the Caribbean this hit our community especially hard💔
Love your style and your presentations. I will be checking them out as you release them.
Great video, thanks Adrian.
btw: i am here for Adrian’s unbridled disdain and unapologetic shade at these pieces of shit covered in each episode. it balances his utter compassion and believable grief he has for the victims.
Keep that up!!!
Knew the killer from hs. Always pretty quiet and was the star qb for our football team. Seems to have lots of friends even though he was quiet. Kinda surreal to hear about this case when it happened.
Absolutely DISGUSTING and revolting as FUCK... Didn't he have any OTHER options or choices??? I just shure hope that he thinks it was worth it tho. Talk about BAD TASTE!!! 🤮🤮🤮🤮
It's surprising to see this guy had trouble finding a gf. If only this man kept fighting through that loneliness and would apply self love and self dignity to know everyone deserves love. I'm not even that great looking but have found someone who appreciates me and loves me. Ive had my fair share of painful rejections but have learned that I needed to be able to read signals better, people usually aren't direct with acquaintances and I didn't know it would always be a subtle form of rejection but ever since then I've gotten a better idea of knowing when someone doesn't reciprocate and so I just leave them alone and still show respect, you have to learn you are never entitled to someone no matter how much it hurts.
Love me some coffeehouse crime, hello Adrian thanks for the awesome cases that you cover! They are entertaining and different than all the rest of the channels that cover crime! Ty
" No means no." How hard is it to teach your kids that? To respect boundaries and respect themselves enough to take rejection gracefully. Im sick of these kinds of stories. Coward had it in him to do the deed but not stick around for the aftermath.
You can teach your kids whatever you want, but a bad soul doesn't care.
@@InfiniteBoxworks exactly!
It is not about teaching you saw where he grew up his environment probably harmed his mentality to the point where he turned into a obsessed psychopath with no regards for human life. Probably noone taught this kid...
You try being lonely for 14 straight yyears, after Hugh school. Trust me, you'd go insane. I can't believe that I m still alive, I'm inches away from ending mys3lf every fucking week. Why must humans be biologically wired to be social.!
To be fair I think scumbags have more wrong with them than just poor parenting.
You’re honestly awesome for leaving a sincere and respectful tribute for the victims in every story you cover. Also, your channel grew fast! Almost at 1mil! A testament to your amazing content! Congrats!
I enjoy your video presentations. You keep respectful commentary throughout.
Thank you for covering this. She’s from my city man… Broward. It’s crazy she had her life ahead of her this case really hit home
Ladies if you have to say “No” more than 3 times get you a firearm.
Some countries we can't. We can't even have a taser or Peppa spray.
You make it sound like it's so easy to pull the trigger.
Right, and or charge him with stalking immediately!!
Why do the pretty ones always reject us. I mean, I wouldn't go as far as he did, I'd be more likely to take my life before taking another. I'm not creepy, I'm a little obsessive but only in my mind. I'm just shy though.
@@desensitizedanalyser5624 you sound like a killer
There was a similar case in the Orlando area involving a young woman, named Jennifer. She was a real estate agent who bought a condo in an under construction bldg. The workers were allowed to live in the bldg., they were undocumented and fairly unreliable. She started to feel insecure and anxious as these guys escalated their creepy behavior. Sure enough, one day she wasn't at work and her co workers validated that she never missed work. She was no where to be found. The cops caught a very grainy shot of some guy parking her car and walking away. Not long after, all these workers were no where to be found. There were multiple extensive searches, a nd her family posted a large reward. They did everything they could to find her. She has never been found. Her name was Jennifer Kesse. I cannot begin to imagine the constant pain her family and loved ones suffer on a daily basis. 💔
Just looked up Jennifer’s case. So sad. To hear her father speak is heartbreaking. Thank you for mentioning her here.
Thank for sharing to make her memory live longer. Sickens me that these scums got away with it.
I hate real estate agents. They profit of people without doing any real work.
Why would you be allowed to live in the building, most hardworking peopIe, but need background checks and proves more vetting is important.
@@azazello1784?
Miya looks like a beautiful soul and full of life. So young and beautiful. He probably killed her was too infatuated and couldn't accept rejection. Creepy maintenance guy ensuring locks are breakable for his easy access. I hope her family overcome the trauma. The PD dept were very lazy, simple! This is a very new case, thanks for your hardwork. Excellent work Adrian👏👏
This is my area. I remember when a lot of my friends was putting up her missing photo. I didn’t know her personally but she seemed like a beautiful person with a beautiful heart. My condolences to her family and thank you for shining light on this tragic case
Your channel grew so quickly. And deservingly so. Congrats!
Thank you for covering this story 🙏🏽
Thanks Adrian. Very well done as always. Stay vigilant💔🙏
I remember following this case on news and praying they would find her alive but fearing the worst as the days went by. I really felt sad for her family and friends when her body was found. You have really done a great job explaining this case, Adrian. May her soul rest in eternal peace 🙏❤️my condolences to her family.
I was listening to this on the bus while I was on my way home ... and it took every ounce of my strength to stop myself from yelling "Are you f-ing kidding me?"
I hadn't heard of this case before this video and now it's on my list of most infuriating cases I've ever heard
Absolutely love how recent the cases are on coffeehouse crime. Very impressive to put so much together so quickly.
Very soothing voice and excellent reporting as always.
Thank you as always for your beautiful work ♡
