The Betrayal of Martre Coles
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 окт 2024
- Martre Coles was a talented young artist living just outside Richmond, VA. He was looking for an escape, and he got one when he received an email from a university asking him to come down. He was never heard from again, and that email was determined to be fake.

The fact that they made him believe his dreams were being manifest and witnessed his pure excitement and joy and then still went through with murdering him is extra cruel and sadistic.
So cruel to do that. I can just imagine how excited he was and scrambling to get his portfolio ready.
And he was leaving soon anyway; so needless.
@@kimmoran4437 Imagining his pure excitement only to realize those dreams were ruined and now he was being murdered by those he trusted is awful.
@@ezekielmorphis4231
His step-mother actually helped him make the mask for his portfolio! Unbelievable.
@@kimmoran4437 so sad for him
Beyond evil. There’s a time and place for them , and in time they’ll realise that .
That young girl is not only the definition of being brave, she is also smart as hell. Imagine planning a phone call on a false burglary to get the police to come to your house, in order to give them vital information without raising suspicion from your entire family...
Elena, you are an inspiration. And thank you Mike for bringing this story to us, you always have an eye for the compelling ones and we always love to see it.
I was so upset that the police implied that she might be lying when she gave them her statement. It was clear to me that she was being truthful. What a brave kid.
tbh that amount of moral planning puts into question why she “stabbed” Martre early on. Maybe she was trying to push them away because she knew how awful her mom is?
It’s more common than you would think or hope for that matter. Nonetheless very brave indeed.
@@Gonzokeywest45 dang that's a really good point. I hope they didn't push that any further & realized she wasn't lying. Cause why would you ever want to go to the police for help if they're gonna imply you could be lying for some stupid reason. I don't think she'd say her mom & sister murdered her brother just because she was mad at her parents. 🙄 I'm sure it probably did still stick with her though just that one suggestion that she could be lying. Ugh. Just investigate the claim.
That ploy to get the cop’s attention was brilliant, and yeah, extremely brave.
That little girl, who didn't even like her step brother was the one who stood up for him in the end. I will be over here crying. This one hit harder than normal, he seemed like a sweet kid
Me too, it's a really tragic story.
Me too, this one just made my heart hurt. That poor young man, surrounded by evil.
Definitely… heartbreaking
Yep!
He was an innocent kind hearted soul. Visible in his face.
His Mother & God took him home, away from the ugly evil witches n losers that surrounded him.
Hell awaits the.
Very UGLY, INSIDE N OUT!
I wish you both the karma life will bring you.
Right? My bf usually doesn't like this kinda stuff but he's listening going wtf wtf WTF the entire time
Absolutely evil. He was probably months from leaving home anyway and his father didn't seem to care about him. They had zero reason to kill him.
Bless that young girls heart for coming forward. It takes a lot of courage and sense of justice to go against family… I hope she lives well.
Can you imagine how frightened she must have been?
@@brianew And especially in such a toxic environment.
@@brianew she may have been scared that she'd be got out of the way next :( Poor child. I wonder what happened to her?
👵🏿
Especially at 12 years old. You have to wonder how her mother raised her to do the right thing but was a murderer herself and got her other daughter to help her do it.
I’m proud of the youngest child. She may not have been able to stop it from happening, but she definitely made it where the murderers would be brought to justice even though they were her family
Unless she was in on the murder as well, hated Martre as well (stabbed him before), but turned her sister and mum in for some other reason?
@@g.c.5065 either that or was next on the list. Finally another critical thinker!
@@g.c.5065 Or maybe the little girl was coerced into stabbing Martre in the first place. If the mother was evil enough to kill him in that manner, she was evil enough to try that first.
@@g.c.5065 are you kidding? She was 12 years old. You’re disgusting. Even if she had done something to him physically she wouldn’t be culpable bc she would have been a child under the power of murderous adults.
Sir I believe you have AIDs
I've become so desensitised to true crime cases but this one hit me hard. His excitement for the email, the little girl talking to the police, and the loss of his mother.
Truly a heartbreaking case. Rest in peace Martre Coles, he will live on through his art.
Yeah, same. This one is pretty bad.
Then you aren’t desensitized, are you? Good day to you Mrs. Wormley
My exact thoughts. Well said.
I agree. I felt so sad for Martre.
Same here...this one is particularly sad...he seemed a nice kid who was surrounded by people who don't care for him at all.
I hope the father spends the rest of his life miserable, wishing he had loved, appreciated, and looked after his son better. What a loser for not just accepting his son for the sweet, sensitive, creative person he was and allowing such a terrible fate to befall him.
💯
For sure, it’s one thing to miss your wife. It’s another thing to neglect your son. This definitely hits home, I would’ve loved being friends with him for sure as artist buddies. I feel so sorry for his girlfriend, it seems like she was the only person who actually cared about him, as well as his little step sister
Probably the mom was a pos as well and distanced herself and her son from the man, being antagonistic to him.
Do you wonder why no step dad ?
If he has anything resembling a heart and a conscience. It will bother him. If not, he's dead on the inside and headed for painful lonely existence where no one will mourn him when he dies.
Agreed a total loser of a father. He might as well go to jail for child abuse.
I’m so happy that the 12 year old was brave enough to tell the police what happened, that woman is a sick cruel fool and I hope she has a terrible time in prison, same with the other lady. Martre seemed like the kind of guy I would’ve gotten along with, Rest In Peace dude.
Trust they will get beats and turned out by mom's everyday on range even on a pc range pc gets more crazy then gen at times for some weird reason
not that the police was compassionate at all. she sounds scared and he got the nerve to say that you could be lying but she's precise about him being in a plastic container which I found him in piece of s***
So smart and brave at 12. I hope she's doing well now.
@@raylady0 Because the police had been there previously responding to calls where she was the aggressor. I understand what you are saying though.
@@raylady0 exactly! That cop pissed me off. And they just, what, left her there after that? Unbelievable.
This woman was just absolutely hateful and did such an evil act. Martre was an innocent young man who had a beautiful thing to offer humanity through art. It’s so tragic.
This is what "gets" me. Martre was just living his life & bothering absolutely NO ONE. I mean, how harmless is that? This is just confirmation to me that in this world we now live in, all you have to do is just literally exist & breathe to become a target of some malevolent jackass. Just....CRAZY!
The Straight evil in these woman is disgusting 🤢. Smdh
W them
Im black
I’m pretty sure he’d have ended up homeless, but murder is uncalled for
this story isn't the most violent or twisted case you've covered, but for whatever reason, the cruelty of this one made me cry
Literally under every RUclips video: "this made me cry".
A very sympathetic victim.
Me too!
@@BalboaBaggins literally under every RUclips video is some spacky whining about it
@@krishisel5316 your comment makes no sense
The 12 year old must have been terrified stuck in the house with people she saw murdering her step brother... I feel absolutely terrible for her 💔
I agree, then for the cop to repeatedly ask her if she was lying about it! That guy was a real dick about it from the way he's talking to her. Poor girl had to be so scared of her family and then the cops as well
@@destinybryner7267 I know! I feel so horrible for her seeing that happen IMMEDIATELY after trying to be brave and do the right thing by telling the truth about her own mother and sister no less 💔💔 I just pray that she has the loving support and the ability to try and process the traumatic experience that she must have gone through, throughout this entire tragic and horrifying time.
She stabbed him when she was 9! WTF you mean? She just had a guilty conscience.
@@kylejohnson8627 clearly she had psychological issues due to her upbringing and environment. Not giving her a pass for literally stabbing her brother. But in this situation I think it's more of a nurture over nature scenario, in that she obviously learned violence was an acceptable outlet as opposed to possibly being predisposed to it like in other cases Mike's covered. I feel like if that little girl was in a different environment she'd have a totally different behaviour pattern. Clearly she has some level of morality to have taken the chance to confide with the police.
@@destinybryner7267 is the cop supposed to just take her word for granted? LMAO you act like people are truthful when they speak to police
God Bless that little girl. She has more heart and morals than that entire “family” put together.
and the british royal family
She did stab him with a pair of scissors ✂️ before this happened, so 🤔.
Jk what chance did she have with a mother like that
I truly hope Elana is okay because she was so young. I hope that Maurice or someone good adopted her. So brave for her to tell the police what happened. Incredibly evil to do that to such a decent young man who had his whole life ahead of him.
At the very least she was smart enough to know she might be next.
I agree.. God Bless that little girl and may she have a decent life..she did the right thing!
My heart hurts for Martre. He deserved so much more. Not even his own father looked out for him after his mother passed and just to be murdered by the new woman. Everything about this is awful
I feel the same. Exactly the same.
Exactly. The father didn’t look into the school, or I dunno offer to go with him? I don’t know what he was like before his wife died but it seems like such a disservice to her to withdraw from his son.
Such a bright and handsome young man! How truly evil of the perpetrators 😞
He was the kind of person that you see that smile and you know he's a very sweet and kind person. Lets hope he is in a better place than we are now and happy.
That poor young man just wanted a life, a chance to get out in the world with his art. And that little girl who had the guts to speak up -- two young lives wrecked. I hope the girl gets all the help in the world to have a healthy life.
Props to the little girl having the will to do what is right even when it's your family doing the wrong that kind of attitude will get you far in life.
As a young black man myself who just wanted to get out and live my own life as well as losing my mother at 21, this really hit home
I'm sorry for your loss and I hope you're doing alright now.
I'm real sorry about your mom, I lost mine early too. Do her proud.
I’m so sorry honey may you find some sort of peace and be able to live your dream as your mother would want you to🙏🏽❤️💯
My son reminds me of Martre. He’s actually my husband’s stepson from his previous marriage that we help raise as our own. Such a great kid, big brother , and talented artist. Instead of discouraging him by yelling “get off of that game!” We encourage him to take STEM courses and PS classes to hone his skills. So this one hits home. I know a handful of guys from the hood who went on to break generational curses by going to Full Sail. The people that were responsible for this were a cancer to their community including his father.
Glad you are teaching and nurturing him and sure he will be successful. But what is PS?
@@WonderWhatHappened Photoshop. Just little virtual technique courses.
Respect! When i was young i was also a nerd but my parents kept telling me to go out and play with other kids and had 1-2 hours or computer time a day, now i work a job i don't even like because that's what my parents wanted for me, hearing this really makes me happy i hope i can do the same to my future kids!
Very well said! And God bless you for supporting your stepson to cultivate his talents and dreams.
thank you for nurturing his creativity and interests. so many times that gets forced out of kids either intentionally or unintentionally. he's lucky to have a great parents like you
This is one of the saddest you've covered. Poor kid, didn't deserve such evil. Bless that young girl for telling the police.
I don't know what happened but I this one sounds somewhat familiar and by the intro, I think I need to skip this. Its just too much. People are so evil.
@@tribalstyle138 Some of these tragic stories can be too much, your very wise✊♥️
Yes.. so sad. Such a bright young man gone for no reason at all. Scares me how nasty some people can be. Shocked me this one.
Yeah this one is really sad
I’m so sorry Martre, so many people failed you. Rest In Peace.
Nobody failed him, watch your mouth Love
@@nancyfischer4875 Every single person is entitled to have opinions love.
I think Martre was failed by his father. I think you should get off the internet love if you can’t respect other people’s opinion. Love lol
Quick note; Matre was known for his masks. They were one of the main components of his art portfolio.
Komdly elaborate,masks like real masks?...face coverings?
@@FoxyCAMTV Face coverings like you'd see in theatre, most likely. Artsy animal-esque masks, maybe.
Mike said paper mache; a google search of 'paper mache masks' will give you a better idea than words can convey here.
The host said he must be 12 years old… kind of rude
This story was so freaking heartbreaking. This poor boy. Just some evil people out there taking away decent and lovely people.
Yes his art was pretty good too. Senseless 🤨
It made me ponder just how many potential leaders or people who would have gone on to do amazing things for humanity have been killed either by horrible circumstances or just by accident.
Ya I found this case especially sad.
This is one of the most upsetting cases you've covered - Martre seemed like such a sweet guy - and the fact there was no practical reason or even a greed for some benefit at his death - just pure hatred from those malicious butt-ugly waste of space women - pure living-breathing evil & that is the really chilling element.
Yeah senseless just hate
Only entitlement
My eldest son is the has just gone 18. When I see Matre, I see him. This is one of the most cruelly, sadistic and evil cases I’ve heard. The way they took his dreams and used them to harm him. Oh it makes me so flipping mad!!!! The thought of Matre being so excited , that’s pure evil I just can’t put into words I hope they both rot.
I’ve known about this case for a while. My mom still lives in Richmond. It’s the strangest and kind of dumbest murder plot I’ve ever heard. To me, it just sounded like it was thought up by someone who thinks they’re smart, but they’re really just a whole moron.
The other really sad thing is that if those pictures that flashed up while talking about his art are by him (seems likely given the context), he had actual talent. Those are unusually good by the standards of a young artist before their university training. He probably really could have gone to art school and worked in video game illustration, animation, or graphics design.
Imagine getting so mad as a kid that you stab your stepbrother. Then you're not mad, as a kid, and you see that same stepbrother being killed by your "real" family. And have to tell the cops....
That young girl ALREADY had problems.
I hope she is receiving the mental and emotional help that she so clearly needs.
Thank-you Mike, for telling us about cases with compassion and humor, like only you deliver. Love you too Mike!
Sounds like that stabbing incident was set up by the stepmom.
She’s a champion I’m sure that was the most confusing and intensely scary times between the event to arrest
@@gossamerglenn6714 Poor kid could have ended up with the beginnings of an ulcer.
I had problems with a third grade teacher and started getting an ulcer. And that is nothing compared to that kid. You're right shes strong.
And then the cops insinuate that you're lying and leave you there. 😠😔
@@armygirl85fuckhitler74 does she take them to the doctor at least?
I'm so sad, hearing about Martre who only wanted to escape and see his dreams, crushed by a selfish evil woman who was consumed with hate. RIP Martre you deserved so much better than what you were given 😥
Not a lot of people have a pure, genuine smile like Martre did. I bet he was a really good dude.
The secret is to smile with your eyes. A fake smile is only with your mouth a true smile involves all the muscles in your face
i went to school with him, he was. creative,funny, still can’t believe this happened 😞
@@keiabrianna3070 sorry for your loss,💔🙏🏾
@@yunglynda1326 thank you. ❤️i swear i don’t think i ever saw him not laughing or with a smile. our graduating class will always remember him🕊️
Seeing his smiling pictures makes me want to cry. Really seemed like a sweet dude who could've gone on to great things.
Dude, this is one of the saddest stories you've told. God that poor kid! His smile was infectious because it was an honest, open smile. NO ONE deserves this and I can't imagine what was going thru his head while he was being murdered by a woman he came to love and call "mom". She's the worst kind of human monster, and there's PLENTY of those to go around.
I literally just commented the same about his smile, it looks like quite a few people are getting the same impression of him. He looks so kind and honest like you say 😢
Yeah, utterly pointless & tragic. Poor lad.
Im black
Racist
@@Movetheproduct why do you keep commenting this?
Martre had huge talent and a beautiful smile. I hope he’s with his Mom now. RIP
Such a sweet kid, this really upset me...also, at 5.50 mins, the art he's done is the animations from Katy Perry's "This is how we do" music video... it's a tiny arse world; my best friend and flatmate of 13 years down here in Aotearoa has a brother, Robert Wallace aka Parallel Teeth, and that was his animation work... this is such a sad case, and that strange little link just makes a strange extra connection...
He is 🙏🏻
Full Sail has very strict requirements for artists. It’s a very prestigious art school with an extremely high skill level. He never would have gotten chosen, unfortunately. His art was good for a young kid, but they require a lot higher quality than pencil and felt tip pens of comic book characters. Such a sad situation to make his dreams come true then rip it away from him.
@@Quizacktrue but he could definitely have progressed. His artwork seems to be self expression, so maybe he would have pursued something else if he had moved out of his home environment.
I seen his drawing on for my man he very talented..:
The most confusing aspect of this case was Elenas actions. She hated Martre, she constantly broke his things, stole from his room, did things and blamed him for it. Denice didn't want to punish her kid so she let it all slide....... and then she turns on her mom and sister, that was beyond brave! I hope she is in a better place!
Kids do things like that. But they can probably also figure out that killing someone for no good reason isn’t a normal persons activity.
As this story unfolded, I kept wondering, "Why? Why?" and it turns out there is no reason. A life wasted, and another one messed up probably forever. How does a 12-year-old witness a violent murder by two family members and grow up okay? I hope she knows how strong she is, how incredibly smart she is (making something up so the police would come), and how much we all admire her.
May she get the help she needs, and soar high and far in life.
The 12 year old hated Marte, who know her reason for turning in her mother and sister, she is no better, a hateful little girl that abused Marte every chance she got, she is no better, and she will grow up to do the same to another, violence begats violence.
@@user-ml8mx3bc2t a lot of talk from someone who mostly just read about said 12 year old Please go to hell
@@user-ml8mx3bc2t Exactly why are all the comments praising the girl, when she stabbed Martre with a pair of scissors and made his life hell? Makes me wonder if there is some cover up.
@@turtleislandlac1490 I don’t get all you commenters going around bringing things back to this CHILD. Her mother and sister killed her stepbrother obviously she has been growing in an environment where this type of violence is typical. It’s still not her fault if she’d been acting out against him. Stop making it like she’s part of some conspiracy. Yea she was a hateful spiteful CHILD who was lashing out and overreacting until she realized how effed up things actually were and made a CHOICE to share the information with law enforcement. She didn’t need to, and yea she would have been in fear for her own life. I still think it was brave no matter the reason. There’s many adults who wouldn’t even have done that so all this misguided vitriol towards her is unnecessary. Just wish her well and that she gets the help she needs to be better.
Because she was in on it as well‼️ She did it to save her own ass
This world is so fallen. Broken people breaking other people everyday, and thinking nothing of it. 😓 Rest In Peace, Martre.
"his world is so fallen" -- are you a bible basher ? The world is not fallen, people just doing people stuff, that is why we have laws, and should enact further laws to better educate people ...
@@tariq_sharif Educate people to not hate other people? Good luck with that. Start in Israel. Tell me how it goes.
@@Drewydrew397 Ah... so you are a bible bashing sympathiser... here is your problem in isreal.. when you have been inculcated for millennia by books whose creator god commands its followers to smash the heads' of babies against rocks because they were born into the wring tribe, that a certain group was "promised" land by a superstitious being etc etc, then the hatred in that region can be explained ...
so, yeah going great... how about you ?
@@Drewydrew397 looks like we could just start with you.
Why the need to mention Israel?
@@tariq_sharif no law on earth can be enacted to ‘better’ educate people. The worst crimes result in death and lack of education is not the reason why. Human nature: not everyone respects life or thinks selflessly unfortunately.
This is one of the most heartbreaking cases that I have heard so far.This completely innocent, sweet guy was murdered by a person he trusted, because she was jealous - of what? Him being his mother's son? His father, whose affection Denise craved, didn't even care for him! That's just... Rest in peace, Martre, you deserved better.
It appears to me that you have AIDs
Yes, this is a very, very sad one.
He really did deserve better. Found this one very hard to watch, he went through so much in such a short time and he seemed like such a beautiful soul.
The world is the hardest on those 😢
Snobby art aficionado here. That young man had serious talent. I mean workable talent where you have a job and buy a house and your kids go to college and everything. What a tragedy.
I think what made this case depressing was that Martre was preparing to fulfill his dreams and to achieve success. He was such a kind hearted young man and could have done amazing artwork. AND instead, he was lied to and killed. For nothing but jealousy over his deceased mother. Whom cherished and loved him the most. Martre deserved everything. His life, his dreams and his happiness. Rest in peace, Martre.
I heard another version of this and what struck me was that for several years, Martre had so many issues with his father just not understanding who he was or caring at all about his son's grief and basically leaving him to deal with it on his own. From the time she moved in, Denise helped to comfort him and even to smooth things out between the father and son when dad got irritated or whatever because his son was different than what he thought he should be. Then she just turns around and kills him. And at a point in his life when he was very likely going to move out and move on anyway-
It's still a similar version. Stepmom used him and his struggles to integrate herself into the family. All calculated moves.
When Dad wanted to break up with her, her supressed jealousy made her turn on the son, the reminder of the ex-wife. He was probably the youngest, weakest of the siblings, easy target.
What’s different?
@@susivarga7303 Thanks for this. I was wondering why she killed him, and not his sisters. As you said, he was the youngest, and the easiest target. And, she wanted the dad to go through another period of mourning in order to stay with him. Jesus, we are messed up creatures.
I know, right? What a calculating witch. Could not wait to have what she thought would be the perfect family. Poor kid, he clearly wanted that email to be his ticket out. He didn’t have a chance.
Lord have mercy 🥺
I wonder if part of her motive was to put the dad in another vulnerable state where he’d need her again.
This story is just hurts me. He looks like the nicest kid. Poor boy lost his mother and was left with a POS dad who clearly didn’t care if he was alive or dead, yet didn’t go off the rails with drugs or drop out… instead he pursued art and dreamed about going to college. It breaks my heart.
Ooo, good point
I had that very thought, too! Since it didn't take long for him to get over his wife (whom he loved) getting over his son's death (whom he didn't like) would have been even quicker recovery. What would she have done then?? Start killing his friends? Burn down his house? And what if their "keeping him in a vulnerable state" lasted for years!!
Everyone take a minute, out of respect for Martre Cole, and see if the problems in your life COULD BE due to a horrible person in your life causing you harm. If so DO SOMETHING so they don't harm you further or those you love.
I thought that too! I would expect it more if the mom was still alive and she thought they might get back together so killing Martre would help bring those chances down. But nope! No matter how much I think about it, I still don’t understand her motive or reasoning for wanting him dead. Maybe she felt the dad was favoring his son over her daughters and she wanted her and her daughters to be in the #1 spot. Idk, she’s obv an evil nutcase regardless and had no reason other than pure selfishness
Wow this is so true. God bless him.
At least he didn’t have AIDs
like everyone else says, Matre's smile was one of a kind. I'm sure his energy is elsewhere on this life journey and I wish him well 🥰🥰
Both women and men need to be mindful of who they bring around their children. Some people are so blinded by selfishness and hate that will harm your children to hurt you. So sad.
Excellent point
Amen. I never even said my daughters name in front of men I dated after me and her father divorced. They were not allowed at my house either. Now that she’s grown up and working on her 3rd degree black belt, she’s protecting ME. Mommy they hurt you or even try to, imma fold them like a sandwich. Gotta protect your family…and trust has to be earned, not given out of politeness.
you cant be too careful, there is no way that man could have known he welcomed a murderer and selfish demon in their house as the devil is real and it comes in many form
Well said and so true, unfortunately!!!🙏😢⚖️
I agree. Time and time again we see cases of new partners being brought around with no care whatsoever and bringing harm to children. It’s usually women with “the boyfriend”, but there’s also cases like this one. No one is worth your child’s safety - but of course, his father did not care for him much in the first place. It breaks my heart.
This is probably the saddest and most heart breaking story I’ve come across.
RIP Martre
You deserved a whole lot better
Seriously? It's sad but... try these from Emma Kenny "star hobson" case, "logan mwangi" and "Arthur Latino hughes"... you kids torture/ abuse cases. All separate in lockdown in the UK

@@ShrimplessScampi what? It is a sad case... but not tge saddest I've heard... try learning about the cases I mentioned... 18 month old baby, 6 year old boy and a f5 year old boy... at least this kid was killed quickly and not tortured for months.
@@junkybabes gatekeeping sadness now too?
@@junkybabes once again…there is always one 😂
Elena is one brave and smart gal for coming forward and talking to the police when she had a chance. Risky considering her own life was in danger for knowing too much. It was heart-stopping to hear the police almost not believe her. I kept yelling at my phone like they could hear me “she’s not lying!! She’s in danger too! Do something!”
I heard on other channels that E from the age of 9 spent a lot of time physically attacking M. I wonder now after Mike's version if she wasn't acting out her mother's hatred for him? Mom may have put on a friendly face to M, but expressed her anger and hatred for him to E. I admire E's courage coming forward. Her statement and the way she called the police were ingenious. She definitely helped solve the case, along with M's girlfriend.
@@rosariccardo3529 I heard the same thing as well from other shows. She was trying to turn everyone against him but she forgot that he was actually a nice kid and no matter how much abuse he got he was still nice to that little girl and she knew her mama was wrong and an abuser.
@@KPbouj seeing her mom murder him must have been absolutely terrifying
Kinda sad that when testifying, she said she was not upset that Martre died.
She didn't like him but was brave enough to speak out about his murder.
same! when he said "you can get in a lot of trouble for lying" i yelled "NO SHE CANT SHES A MINOR!" :[ im glad they believed her, shes so brave
I'm usually horrified by the cases you cover; this is one that made me cry. How horrible.
I was hoping to hear this story from you. Martre deserved so much better, he was trying so hard to leave his stepmother should've just let him. The poor boy.
It’s so much worse when a talented artist dies 😞 What a waste
Heartbreaking. What a sweet genuine soul, stolen from us yet again.

This is one of the few cases that make me cry. He was almost free. His mom really supported and encouraged his artistic endeavors too. As someone who grew up with abuse and was the "black sheep", I know the feeling of just trying to push through. As someone who always wanted a child, I just want to reach out and hug him. Denise missed an opportunity to love and make a difference in his life. I hope Mattre is at peace with his beautiful mother💞✨
This poor kid deserved a hell of a lot more grace and love than he received. Just a terrible, sad ending for someone who just wanted to do something that he loved.
God bless that 12 year old girl. She is so strong, you can tell it in her ability to do what’s right even through the circumstances. Crazy story
To prey on someone’s hopes and dreams like that. I find that to be the most disgusting part. Poor man.
I feel terrible for the victim, he was surely so excited and had so much to live for.
I know... it really is heart-breaking. Imagine when the poor kid realised there was NO school, and he was set-up. God Bless his beautiful soul. 🙏❤
Especially when he suffered severely from depression and suicidal tendencies after his mother's death. His art was what made him happy, and that woman used it to get rid of him for no reason. It's truly heartbreaking, like a lot of young people being murdered are heartbreaking, but hearing Martre's entire backstory, you can't help but tear up and be angry at how he was abused and then had his life ended by his father's mistress.
@@danceyrselfkleen Whether you're trolling or not just remember what comes around goes around. What you put out in the world will find its way back to you. Good luck dealing with it in the future.
This story just crushed me. Maybe it's because I'm in the process of applying to art schools myself, but I can only imagine the joy Martre felt at being "recruited" by Full Sail. What a sweet kid. Seeing his art broke my heart. What a stupid senseless crime. Someone needs to look into his dad.
Don’t waste your money.
Ashlyn is my sister. This event was so heartbreaking and devastating for my entire family but especially my sister Ashlyn and me and my mother who were by her side and her biggest comfort through it all and there for everything. I'm glad to see some youtube videos sharing and continuing on Martre's life and what happend to him. When all this happend it was so traumatizing and the fact that people we knew that were so close to us could be so evil and do something so horrible was something we never expected or thought we would be made to experience. Maitre in my opinion and probly most people's was my sister's true soul mate because he was the best relationship she ever had and she was the best he ever had. Her relationship before him was very abusive in ways. Martrw was such an amazing and talented person who I'm so blessed to have known. My sister still has his artwork and alot of his things. They were constantly together but at the time my sister was visiting my gma in NC but instantly knew something was wrong when he didnt reply to her and returned to VA were we lived at the time.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sorry for your family! :( They are no good words for such tragedy! My heart go to the little sister too...She's been really strong even if cops didn't listen to her as they should!
I have watched-I think-every chapter of That Chapter. I’m a serious fan. *This* story, of Martre Coles, is one of the most evil and senseless cases Mike has covered. I’m f*^%ing STUNNED by the heartless selfishness of that woman!
Clearly you have AIDs
This is absolutely evil. One of the worst cases I've ever heard. Senseless, unnecessary and cruel. Pure evil.
Like no one cared about him. Probably because he was the only one with an actually future.
For real!! Like Letecia Stauch. Kid cases are the worst but there’s something extra super duper evil about stories like this.
One of the worst for sure. I'm not sure exactly why, but I found this story particularly upsetting.
@ Monique Hamilton Darling don’t get on here and say no one cares about him because that is not true‼️I AM A COLLEGE GRADUATE so you saying he’s the only one who has a future war null and void. Watch your mouth.
@@nancyfischer4875 stop being so reactive. This isn't about you!!
His girlfriend must be devastated with grief. They seemed to be genuinely in love and we're a beautiful couple. How hard for her to know she dropped him off just to be murdered.
I dropped him off ‼️ His sister not the gf
All u saw was 1 picture lmao how do u know what their relationship seemed
That poor sweet, innocent boy. Bravo to the young step-sister for having the nerve to inform the police. Whilst Maurice and Matre weren’t close, I’m sure Maurice still mourned his sons death. Loss of a wife then a son, that’s got to be hard to take. RIP Matre.
Bless this poor young man. This world can be a horrible place. I hope he's now back with his beloved mother. Rest in peace x
If he buried in the same grave with her, they are together. If not, I have NO IDEA where you'd think they'd be together. And they are NOT resting. They're dead.
You see "Resting" means you'll wake up.
Indeed
@@markmike7933 Well I believe that there is far more to us than mere bodies.
This one actually made me weep. Poor poor guy. He didn’t deserve ANY of this. I am disgusted by the father and his lack of concern for his son. I am angry that the college invite was a lie. I am full of rage that nobody cared enough to travel with this young man to explore his potential school. I need to a rest after this.
Ali, I agree with everything you said. This case was the one that just made me cry.
Right, how many kids, how many young boys are excited to go to school? Usually there are parents and counselors encouraging you and trying to push you to it, but he pushed himself and believed in himself. He was his own biggest supporter. It's heartbreaking this happened to him. I'm so sad that he lost his mother and later, his life. As a mother that is the worst fear associated with your own death..that no one will look after your children like you would,.once you were gone.
It's terrible
alternative view here. I think the dad (although he didn't necessarily get along with his son) was concerned but wasn't ready for more grief. I guess he felt if he ignored it, it wouldn't be real. BUT he was irresponsible brining the first women that gave him attention into the house with his son. Matre deserved better
I watch so many of these videos… like alllll the channels… and this is the first one that has actually left me aching 💔 There’s something about Matre’s face that feels so familiar and pure, his smile is like a warm hug. He’s the kind of person I would wish the best for in life. Rest in peace Matre, you deserved so much better I am so sorry 😞
I found his artwork very promising. Art isn’t a big interest of mine, but the pieces shown impressed me. What an cruel and selfish kill!
You sir have AIDs
Watching mike go from 200k to almost 2 mil is absolutely insane and never seemed so well deserved, keep it up Mike you do an amazing job and bring light to so many important things ❤️
What a horrible, senseless crime to a young man just trying to get out and start his own life. Just makes no sense why anyone especially the ones who killed him just why just pure evil. Love the video as always and 💕 you to Mike.
My mom says the people you love will hurt you the most. Been saying It since I could speak and it resonates with me.
I can't even imagine using someone's dream to kill them. To me it's completely different level of evil, because you have to watch that person get excited and still go along with your plan wow..
Exactly! You don't like the he reminds you of your husbands ex wife? You dont want him around? He wanted to leave anyway! You could have just let him go on his own way. Shit you could even have kicked him out. Evil as well but really, to murder someone?
@@deaf2819 that's statistically true. Most killers kill who they are tied to which is why serial killers are so hard to catch bcuz they kill total strangers at random
@@Liberty_Bull * I'd say 'late wife' rather than 'ex wife', but I do agree, they should have helped him on his way into life rather than taking his away. Some of these stories are insane and terrifying but this was just plain sad, he seemed like a decent lad who wanted to make something of himself. I wonder what happened to the twelve-year-old step sister, Elena I think she was called? She'll be pretty messed up having witnessed that and lost her mother and sister to prison. Just sad this one.
No university contacts people out of the blue and asks them to bring their portfolio along, let alone comps them for a hotel. Poor kid was too young and too poor to know that there are no such procedures. Any teacher could immediately have told him the email was bogus - but who did he turn to for advice? Who does a good kid turn to for advice? The parent figures.
Fullsail actually did cold-call people. So I would not have given this a second thought myself, even after going-to and graduating from this school. This is incredibly tragic.
he was young and wanted to get away from the small town, he had a talent and was elated someone saw is worth
what does being poor have to do with anything? It was just his age.
Recruiters will contact you. Its a good idea to make sure you check domain and email information. If you're still suspicious (he wasn't), call the school directly and see if that person works there, etc.
Everybody has to go back to when they were 17 or 18, and think of how many times they almost died from not making the best choices. A 17 or 18 year old is so ready to tell you they’re grown, but they were born yesterday so to speak. Now when people who you sort of trust are plotting, you don’t have a chance. Just give him something to drink, then wait. Too bad they abolished the death penalty in Virginia.
What a despicable and evil duo. Martre was a talented young man who just really wanted to strike out on his own. He missed his mom. Huge kudos to the young lady who had the courage to speak out about what her mom and sis had done. That took so much bravery. RIP Martre.
If there's something I've learned from this case, it's let try our Best to protect each other. This case proves that some of us have absolutely NO ONE, not one person to care about us. In a World of nearly 10 billion people, the paradoxical tragedy is that anyone would be unloved. I hope you're creating, wherever you are, Martre. I'm sure you are.
This is the most heartbreaking story you’ve covered and you told it with the dignity he deserved. This kid deserves an art scholarship founded in his honor.
Mike this story hit me so hard, I have a cousin like Martre, I would be soo devastated!! Such a sweet boy put in the worst circumstances, all he wanted was to be loved!!
And share his art who knows what the world is missing because of senseless evil.
Denise's younger daughter put her life on the line for informing the police, and the police responded by ignoring her claim, not even checking to see if Martre was OK. At least they filed a report, but that was the least they could do. Scarey when police report a possible murder and do nothing about it. I hope someone had to account for this.
Acting like the girl was making all that up is crazy. Why wouldn't you check?
The younger daughter is just as much of a violent lunatic as her mother and sister. They should all go to jail
I'm thinking maybe she thought she was next.
Maybe she was maybe she overheard something was probably the mother who provoked her to stab him maybe using her now that i think of it
@@BLARG09 oooonly excuse I could think of is if they wanted to investigate in secret and not put the girl in danger. Like ok, you told us away from your parents but if we storm in there now and find nothing then we can't take you so we need to not do so?
But even then it seems so shitty and so not right? Like I'm sorry, but this kid is alive? The investigation is for a child who didn't get the chance for cops to save them? Priorities?
I kept looking for some comment to say this but didn't find it, so here goes.
The paper mask request was beacuse it was something Martre liked to do and was passionate artistically about apparently. This case was covered a while back by the Crime Junkie podcast and they talked about it in more detail, really recommed a listen.
Now that I'm done with the episode I just want to say the little sister is so brave to come out and tell what she saw. Rest in power, young man ❤️
What a brave, courageous 12 year old girl to speak up against her family. May she have a good life. Martre enjoy the beautiful art in heaven, RIP sweet boy.
This was so heartbreaking. I still don't get why his father seemed so unconcerned. I fully expected to learn that he knew of or even planted the idea of getting rid of Martre, but it doesn't appear that he did, which would have explained the lack of concern. So, that just makes him a piece of crap parent.
how did he have a girlfriend a month after his wife’s unexpected death?
@@bloodaonadeline8346
She was probably his side chick.
@@bloodaonadeline8346 I know! So many people seem to go from one relationship to another so quickly. I never understood how they could do that.
@@RuminatingRaptor that was my thought as well
Don't do that...... People handle grief in different ways. You didn't know this man and you sure can't explain his action from a 22 minute video! There are a lot of people who hide their pain but lose it in the privacy of their own home!
I am not trying to call you out, yours wasn't the 1st comment mentioning his lack of emotion, just seeing him being called a piece of crap stood out.
This is an extremely heartbreaking case. Poor boy and that brave little girl! God bless her I pray she's a living a good, safe life.
These are the most difficult cases to watch; the victim wasn't involved in a scandal or an affair, no drama at all. Just a person living their lives to die in an unpreventable and completely senseless murder. How could you do this? How could you help someone do this? RIP Martre
I heard of this case on some Oxygen show, while dealing with the flu, and this was so dang sad. Like, this poor kid lost his mom, his dad moved his mistress and her kid in, the kid was off the damn rails, and then his step mom uses his art to get rid of him. Martre didn’t deserve that; that poor kid, he was so talented and had his life taken from him for nothing. And then he was dumped like trash.
@BOB K Hey Bob. Don't be a jackass. He was depressed after his mom died and was left to deal with it by himself as a child. Do better.
@BOB K poor taste
@BOB K yeah, but still, Martre didn't deserve to have his talents used against him. That sick woman made him believe his artwork would help him get better, live a better life, but she used it as a way to get rid of him. That was beyond cruel. He was getting better, my heart breaks for him and the loss of his life and future.
I applied to a prestigious art school in NYC & was accepted! It was the greatest day in my life & my key to getting out of the town I grew up in & hated. I can imagine his happiness & excitement to get that email & begin dreaming about his future… then tragedy. RIP LITTLE MAN 🙏🏽💫 you can paint the skies above 🙌🏽
Congrats 🎉👏👏
It’s just so sad though picturing his excitement only to meet his demise. Such an awful thing to do, set him up like that and use his dreams against him. I still can’t understand why they did it.
Congrats on making it to parsons 😉 -
A fellow artist
Stay safe bro
That was a beautiful sentence. You can paint the skie's above. I really hope he is 🤞
This is so unbelievably sad. I'm crying. RIP Martre, I hope you're somewhere in Heaven working on your art.
With his mammy.
The 12 year old didn’t get enough praise 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻so mature, brave and well spoken 🥹
Man this one hurt me more than the others. This dude had a dream and he was teased to get it, then set up by his step family.
I couldn't imagine the pain this poor guy had to go thru, art was his outlet and he was gonna use that to make it out, something not much are able to
Wow... imagine being the epitome of an evil stepmother and evil stepsister. Sickening to think the murdered him just so Denise could try to stay in a failed relationship. It's also pretty surprising that Denise's daughter who never really liked Martre was the one who helped by reporting his murder.
Wrong daughter
This story is so heartbreaking. I still remember how excited I was as a young artist when I learned I was accepted into an art school..They dangled that joy in front of him and them snuffed out his life. True evil.
I don't usually comment and am a silent viewer. But this story hit me hard when I think back to all my amazing artist friends who were always at it trying to make a way to a living doing art because they were in fact amazing. I am just over 40, and it was even harder to get your art out there and to think you my have an opportunity at something professional was always huge! This is just so cruel. And it's got me thinking back to how innocent we are then. The thoughts he was having on the way there so far from the reality of what was to come.
It took a lot of courage for the young girl to speak up knowing she had to go back into the house and live with the murderers! Bless her! I hope she has a wonderful life and gets help for the horror she saw.
My jaw dropped when I heard the mother did it. Absolutely sickening. Martre seems like the type I'd be friends with. The sister being in on it to...I just can't. Her smirk when the police tell her they know...I wanna throw up.
this case just broke my heart completely
Same
This hits home 😭 my 18 yr old son wanted to be an artist like me, he was murdered by 5 boys aged 15-21. They are all walking free now, only two yrs house arrest (the oldest killed by US border agents when he tried to cross from Canada into the states) such a useless waste of potential and life 🤬
I’m at a loss for words over “only 2 years house arrest”
I feel for you in every way about this, but the least we deserve after losing family to senseless violence is actual justice
😢😢🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽. I'm sorry for your loss. POS didn't get no time for what they did. So so sorry.
I am so sorry! My heart aches for you too.
I am really sorry for your loss.
My son is very artistic.. I just can’t imagine living on this earth without him.. and knowing that he’d been taken from me in such horrific circumstances…. I just wanted to send you some love and prayers.. and hope that you can still find a way to live your life knowing that nothing and NOONE can take your precious memories from you of your beloved son ♥️
Mike, I hope you see this comment.
The first time I ever watched That Chapter, I was high af on some weed (I don't usually even smoke). The algorithm helped me stumble onto one of your videos, and the awesomeness of your channel immediately made every other true crime channel seem inferior. It was SO unique/funny/creative/well-researched, and you delivered it with such lovable personality and friendliness (even humor sometimes when the context is right) compared to them that I thought it was too good to be real and I must've been making it up in my imagination or something.
I was like "yooo this makes crime channels so much better lmao" but it turns out your channel is legitimately just 100x better than other crime channels, and I was just stoned.
I've been watching you ever since, dude.
Now take care, cuz I love ya.
I see this comment! Thank you so much Vance! Really means a lot to read that. Haha glad you enjoy it, smoking the devils lettuce or not!
@@ThatChapter I'm happy to see that! I'm glad it does, man. You deserve to hear it. As long as you're here givin it a goo, I'll be here watchin (devil's lettuce or not) ;)
That poor young man. This one hit me hard!
He was going places with his artwork. What a horrible ending to such a bright future. My heart goes out to him and his family.
From all the videos I have ever seen from this channel, this is the saddest one. Just a young soul trying to better himself and escape the cycle of pain, to be killed by the embodiment of evil. This world isn't fair and never will be. Be safe everyone and have some fun.
Hopefully Elaina is getting much needed therapy, as she has a lot to sort through. Good for her for telling the truth eventually. I can only imagine how scary and unsettling that was for her to both keep the secret and also tell police.
Poor Martre. There he was just doing his thing and was murdered in cold blood for absolutely no reason whatsoever besides his DNA. I wonder how Maurice feels now.
I hope the police took her out of that house to somewhere safe after she told them!!
@@rosedolch8637 I wish the cops hadn't lectured her about lying. That wasn't the time and place. I was feeling so uncomfortable in their questioning of her. They should have removed her and gotten to a safe place immediately first and then listened to what she had to say. She was talking about a murder! Poor young lady.
How horrific this was. That poor young man was completely betrayed by the people he trusted most in the world and he didn't stand a chance against two killers! RIP Martre. He was a good, good person and a very talented young man.❤🌹
At least his father testified about the texts he found, One way he could show love for a young man that was so different than him. Love an acceptance of his son (after the fact) was a horrible lesson he must have learned. Too sad of a story.
@@isabellind1292 I totally agree. Unfortunately, cops can't assume everyone is telling the truth. However, she was a child making HUGE allegations. It probably would have been appropriate to communicate differently. I'm not sure they have the right to remove her though since she's a minor. I'm curious about that.
@@isabellind1292 I agree, with scare tactics like this then people will be less likely to come forward.
this is completely heartbreaking. Martre deserved a long, happy life.
I have experienced this kind of hatred. Shortly after my father married his second wife, he got full custody of my brother and I from our mother. The minute we entered "her" house, she wanted us gone. She wanted a life with only my father and her two children. We were cut out of family photos. She tortured us on a daily basis. When our dad found out about some of what she was doing to us and him, he kicked her and her children out of HIS house. So, I feel like I got lucky because her daughter was several years younger than me and I had my older brother with me. She had come really close to killing us several times and I couldn't imagine having her and someone else in the house at the same time. That poor boy didn't have a chance.
I'm sorry you had to go through that but I'm certainly glad that it was resolved and your father came through for you in the end.
W Dad
god thats horrible
Glad your father did the right thing and kicked her wicked despicable ass to the curb.
Yes your dad was a good man for kicking kids out of the house sounds like you got what you wanted
i didn’t recognize this case at first but when you mentioned he was an artist, beloved mother died, new (quick) mom he was kinda close to, and the BATSHIT CRAZY little sister .
and god damn this story is SO SAD and SO WILD. def your type of story for sure.
My heart is broken for Martre. He was so talented with his artistic ability and was killed for no reason. So, so, sad. God bless Elena for telling the police what happened. I hope Denise rots in jail. RIP Martre.😢
Shame on LaToya for going along with her evil selfish mother. She should know better! Family loyalty isn’t always the best choice. Sometimes the best family is the one you choose for yourself, not the one you’re born into.
Truth
Amen to that
Something was wrong with the mother and daughters. What little girl stabs her stepbrother? The mother must have raised the girls to be criminal, like herself. Maybe the younger one realized that she no longer wanted to emulate her mother, but the older girl was still trapped by the mom's influence
@@flash_flood_area idk about the eldest, she was old enough to make her own choices- but an 8 year old isn't a criminal and if someone has a kid so wild they are stabbing people that's not a sign of raising a criminal it's a sign of child abuse. Someone taught her at some point you kill people who take love from you- that was the stepmoms eventual motive for Christs sake.
The poor kid was probably raised in a shit environment and was acting as desperate as she felt.
Agree 100%... I divorced my entire nuclear family and finally, at 55, have peace in my life.
The icing on the cake: there is no discretionary parole in Virginia for felonies. The inmates must serve the majority of their sentence with only a small amount allowed for good behavior. They're not getting out anytime soon.
Good to know!
Thank you that’s good to know. May ill health get them before any glimpse of freedom comes.
They will be not getting out any time soon and we will make sure of that‼️
I don’t see any reason why they couldn’t have gotten a life sentence.
As a step child I am so incredibly grateful that my step father is the best man I know. You see too many stories about step children being abused and killed. And the little sister is the bravest person at such a young age. What a wonderful human with strength I can’t even begin to comprehend
So sad, so senseless. Good kid, lost his mom. He was so talented. What a waste. 😭 That young girl that came forward is commended on being so brave. Denise and daughter hopefully you get what you deserve behind bars!!!!!
I graduated from Full Sail and this story broke my heart. Poor guy. I knew right away the email was fake, because that's not how they do stuff. 😥
same here i go there and i was so ): the second i heard it because i knew it was fake
Also went there... I know they accept anybody who’ll pay, but I’ve never heard of them sending a recruitment letter like that. Just curious how was your experience there, what was your program/career now & did you like how Mike called it a “prestigious” private school? 😆
The police didn’t even believe Elena when she first bravely told them what she had seen. They wrote it off as a kid’s nonsense until Matre’s body was found. That gets me so mad. It should have been followed up regardless, especially when at that point he had been reported missing for 2 weeks. Such a smart girl and brave girl to plan that false alarm to help get her stepbrother’s cruel killers behind bars.
Poor Martre. As if losing his mum wasn’t bad enough, he got left with a dad who didn’t care and a stepmother and stepsister prepared to not only lie to him about something he so wanted but then to murder him. He looked like such a sweet boy with so much to offer the world. I don’t believe in heaven but if there is something like it, I hope he’s reunited with his lovely mum again, while his killers can rot in jail and then in hell.
Don't forget Elena tried to kill him before when she stabbed him with a pair of scissors. Maybe not so innocent.
@@turtleislandlac1490 to be fair I never claimed she was, however we don’t know the full circumstances around that. Not saying in any way is it excusable or okay but she was also a 9 year old child having to learn to live with a new dad and brother. I mean we only have to look at her mother to think possibly she didn’t have the best upbringing and acted out as a result.
However she absolutely did the right thing in the end, when she was a little older. She could just have easily pretended she didn’t see it, or not even cared, but clearly she felt enough empathy to set up a false burglary to entice the police to the house so she could tell them.
Again, not saying what she tried to do to her stepbrother was okay, but we don’t know the full story or how she felt about it years later. What we do know is that she did the right thing and spoke up when it mattered, which is very brave for a 12-year-old kid.
@@florriebellerose I encourage you to listen to Mr. Ballen's video on this case, called "The Death Mask" which has more details. She didn't just stab him, she tried to kill him. One day, when both parents were at work, she snuck up behind him with kitchen scissors while he was in the living room and aimed for his chest, but Martre was able to block her hand so that it just went through his shoulder. Martre was understandably upset and told his girlfriend about it that night. Also the girl would apparently break things in the house and blame Martre about it. All these things were according to Mr. Ballen's research although there are articles about it.
Well of course the police want to make sure she is telling the truth, she wasn't particularly a child who was known for telling the truth, had some major violent tendencies and was mad at her parents, anyone with half a brain cell would challenge her on her assertions, to not do so would have been irresponsible. People, including children lie all the time. The girl did what she was supposed to do, tell. RIP Martre, you almost made it out and you deserved much better.
@@turtleislandlac1490 yes that’s the podcast I first heard this story which is why I knew that the cops didn’t take Elena seriously when she told them.
The breaking stuff - she’s a 9 year old kid, so whatever on that one.
Again, obviously what she did in regards to Martre was awful, but does that take away from her doing the right thing in the end? Would you prefer she didn’t say anything? Obviously it was messed up, but so was her mother. But we still don’t know if she ever apologised, ever felt bad for what she did, if she was really aware of the finality of her actions in that moment, if she was being parented well enough to understand how wrong that was, etc.
One thing doesn’t negate the other - what she did was bad, regardless of circumstances. But she did do the right thing in the end. And honestly my original comment was more in disgust of the cops for not believing her.
I've heard about this one a while back and it is still just as heartbreaking hearing Mike tell Martre's story. What a promising future taken away for literally the stupidest reasons.
This story broke my heart when I first heard it, and it breaks my heart again now. He had his WHOLE LIFE to live!! And he seemed like a really good kid who just wanted to make something of himself 😭 RIP Martre. I hope you're painting beautiful pictures in heaven 💔
With his mother, hopefully.
I am so f-ing proud of that little girl. She’s the only one in that family with any integrity whatsoever.
not really. Elena is just as messed up as her mother. Her calling it in was more about saving her ass than helping uncover who did it. She hated him. She planned on killing him. She did stab him. She initially thought the same way as her mom. She didnt want anyone to have her mom just like her mom didnt want anyone to have her husband. And i understand she was a kid but kids can be just as calculating as adults. Just people give them a pass because theyre under 13 and "dont know what theyre doing".
Wow this one made me cry. RIP Martre. I hope you're in your mother's arms smiling and making beautiful art
That Chapter is the only True Crime I can watch anymore because his loving gentle and kind energy some how shines brighter then the cases he is covering.
