True. But I've seen some pretty convincing Trans. ( I live in LA) its surgery looked pretty well done. You gotta hear the voice as well, examine the hands,wrists and they have surgery for the Adam's apple. Sickening world

Lord, if you people would watch the entire video before commenting, you would see that he CLEARLY knew Mercedes was trans. Why keep commenting that she looked like a guy? Shut up.
Humans evolved to take in vital stats quickly. Males are more aggressive than females, so identifying them became essential to survival. That's why it's so easy to clock a biological male. Even if he dresses up, does makeup, grows his hair out, there are still many little tells, details that just don't let your mind rest. They pop out. You notice.
@@jules8029lmao his skin is white and he speaks no spanish. That there is just a white person. Like most other white people in America, white skinned but ethnic and stripped of their culture.
While I agree that being trans is definitely something you need to let your partners or potential partners know about, I'm more than a little disappointed that people in the comments are more concerned about Mercedes' appearance. This is a 17 year old who was murdered by someone that should have never been in her life to begin with and the adults in her life clearly aren't taking any accountability for that. May she rest in peace. The absolutely least anyone can do is not mock her.
I agree with you completely. People in the comment section can be so insensitive! Apart from the fact that her family members could be reading those comments!
Agreed. It disgusts me. It's like this gives these dark hearts time to focus not on their numerous faults in life, in relationships, etc. But on this transgender child. sick fks!
This is why I don’t do secret relationships if it can’t be in public and around people then I don’t want it , yes I’m shy but I open up after a while so no excuses lol
This is why transgender people need to be upfront and honest. Even though the media will always cloak for these freaks of nature, for the role they played in deceiving heterosexual men, wrong is wrong on both ends of the spectrum. Therefore, Mercedes was a victim of his own confusion while Josh is the victim of deception.
This killer's father is a decent human being. In so many of these stories parents try to cover up. I am always amazed by that. I love my kids but the most they MIGHT get from me if they commit crimes is some pocket money for commissary.
You have a warped perception of love. I don't think covering up a crime is an act of love. Especially such a serious crime. Holding your children accountable for their actions is loving parenting. It's part of how you teach them not to commit crimes in the first place.

You know what's ironic? If he had just manned up, admitted he was gay, and asked the gang if he could leave peacefully, there was a (very) slight chance they might have waived the KOS rule and let him be. Instead, now his girl is dead, and he's back in prison, with his very PO'ed gang, who definitely knows the truth by now. Sucks to be him
So dumb to even care about that these days, he just needs to come out already. Oh well, he's going to a place where there's nothing but men so he'll figure it out there i guess
I like how everyone defends the trans that didn’t let a straight man know he was also a man. That shit is disgusting. Especially if you’re religious, imagine thinking it’s a female and it’s a man deceiving. I would do the same thing.
Even though you aren’t a psychologist, you’re completely right. Sexual suppression even in certain religions causes a lot of violence. The body needs to release, religions or not
people no. he was NOT closeted. he had no issues with his sexuality, PER SE. the problem was his gang affiliation. remember he had dick pix all over his phone...and he knew mercedes was a dude. the issue was his gang didn't allow such relationships. so in order for him to stay alive he had to kill her since the gang was onto to their affair, or rather onto the fact the mercedes was a boy.
There's not a cold day in hell, that a high ranking 'club' member offers that info voluntarily. Trust me. And his actions, reflect he may not have had a 'street life'
The shirtless picture at 22:10. Dude has clearly never spent a minute of his life in a gym. I thought gang members are supposed to be tough? No self respecting gang in the world would ever admit this pathetic closeted loser. If they did, their reputation would be in tatters and they'd became the laughing stock of the streets. And to introduce your 17 years old boyfriend in drag with full adam's apple on display to your fellow 'gang members'? Bwahahaha yeah right!
I've lived in Baltimore City for almost a decade and it seems to me guys snitch all the damn time. Most gang activity continues, I suspect, because it's so commonplace and the authorities don't care to stop it
People are so stupid... "lets make a gang with it's own rules because the man sucks".... gives the same rules to themselves. (no drugs, no stealing, no fighting, no treason, etc) We already figured that one out forever ago that's why people form countries and enact laws.
No, I saw in another video that he identifies as 16, so no red flag. You have to be more responsible when dating someone younger than yourself, you know.
Parents who cared only enough to benefit them. What the F, who is so remissive towards their teenager being intimately involved with a man 10 years older than them!?
@@gamingbypix Exactly. Allowing their son, who identifies as a girl (which is fine for them) to date a grown-ass man much older than him. Then talking about it like it was normal. A man that age is probably ready to settle down and start a family. Of course, if the son doesn't reveal his true gender to the man, this may present a problem. His parents should have cautioned him, or better yet, disallowed such an imbalanced relationship! Disgusting.
@ccisthesekxs if you're fine with it, say daughter then, ma'am? his phone proved that he did know she was trans. It's HORRIFIC how easy this country is on child predators, but then will destroy addicts lives making it harder for them to get better 💀💀💀 or how often CPS has been caught trafficking and ignoring things etc. I mean look at that whole madeline soto thing...Stephan had been charged before for harming Madeline. And was still allowed back half bc of her mom half bc of the system. . . These girls are now gone. Same thing with the Harmony Montgomery case! The system KEEPS failing kids 💔💔💔
@@ccisthesekxs Nah bro, they let this kid mutilate his genitals and take life-altering chemicals at age 14, BEFORE they even have a chance to go through normal puberty and mental development. Clearly that also played a factor in this whole thing, the parents didn't care about anything their kid did and they did the opposite, they encouraged this.
They let their son pretend to be a girl I doubt they would be so anti LGBT to deny their son a chance to engage in the most common homosexual relationship recorded in history. An adult man and a little boy. This relationship is normally celebrated in the LGBT community. The USA's first openly gay politician Harvey Milk did it and the USA named a ship after him.
Parents, stop letting your minors date full-grown adults, even if it's normalized to you because you did it. Mercedes shouldn't have even been dating a 27-year-old man with her parent's blessing. SMH

I doubt it, prison isn't like it's portrayed in the movies and on T.V., I worked at a men's max security prison for almost 20 years and then worked at a Women's max security prison for 2 more, and it's not like that at all, Not to say rape doesn't happen anymore because it certainly does but it's EXTREMLY rare in men's prison but it happens more frequently in Womens prison and that's still not often, because sex is so freely given in men's prison, why have to fight a guy to make him your punk and taking a chance of one the staff noticing the wounds and his behavior and getting into trouble and getting more time when the guy in the next cell over is giving it up for free excpet for the snack cakes or favor you have to do for his "daddy", men aren't looking for love or to be loved, they're just looking to get their rocks off where as women are looking for love and to be loved while they are there and can be talked/pressured into sex with another woman and then you have the bull dykes that takes what they want where they want it or not, it's not really like that in male prison because it's so freely given whether it's to survive because they have noone on the outside or they doing it as a "hustle" to have extra stuff. I would gather to say women in prison are raped more by another inmate than men at probally a 5 or 6 to 1, simply because men don't have to anymore, it's a supply and demand thing, like i said, i'm not saying it DON'T happen because it does but it happens very rarely and it happens alot or in womens prison than it does in mens prison.

@@lishik7712 Mercedes. Don't be a bigoted asshole. Very least you could do, frankly. Also wasn't a lie, because the two were already sexually active together & Josh had gay porn on his phone. There was a Mercedes. And It's Mercedes that continues to live in the hearts of her family.
I had to look up the age of consent in Mississippi cause no one seemed to be batting an eye at Mercedes' age, and sure enough it's 16. It's utterly disgusting and disturbing to me how a whole 27 year old man would find a child, sexually attractive. Insane how everyone is so nonchalant about it, but I get that technically its legal.
I'm Mercedes' age. I wouldn't date a guy that young but c'mon. 17 is not a "child". Most 17 year olds are taller than I am and have facial hair. This is why we ID check 20 somethings at bars. 😂
@@odobenus159 quite. That’s not normal and stop trying to pretend it is. That’s why it’s a crime. We don’t want you weirdos. The law disagrees with you and that’s good
It will get worse, some countries say a girl as soon as she hits puberty she can be married. They put no age restriction on the man as long as he can provide.
This guy is full of it. I know exactly what happend in this case. Josh’s gang had found out what he had been up to. Josh was called in. An ultimatum was laid out infront of him. He was told that he had disrespected the club and that he had two options. Either you off this dude and move out of the city or we will off you. That’s it.
I always saying 20 something year old has nothing to do with a teen. My daughter just turned 18 and her boyfriend just turned 17 they've been together a couple of years and I am so happy for this. Adult mentalities should stay with adult mentalaties.
Age was the least of this problem. The parents were responsible for raising this nut job. A 17 year old boy suffering dysphoria should be in a hospital!
Did you not actually watch the video? If you did then you wouldn’t be saying that. Josh 100% knew that Mercedes was trans- multiple people in their lives confirmed that he knew and said that he didn’t care. There is no way you are seeing someone for many months and “did know” they were born the opposite sex. And Josh had hundred of photos of naked men and men on man p*rn. The man is lying and trying to act like he didn’t know that the person he was seeing was trans.
But this doesn't make sense. They dated for how long and he didn't know. But somehow had the foresight to bring murder weapons to kill her for being trans... I highly doubt he found out bc he just happened to pick her up when he was horny and happened to have weapons on him. He was probably just upset she broke it off
Typically after being led on in a relationship for sometime, it could cause feelings of anger to know that the person you liked was not being honest and truthful with you especially about things like genitals.

Honestly what tf is wrong with these parents? When the old lady said all she cared about was if the kid was happy. If that happiness comes at the expense of your mental and physical health then there is something wrong. AND then they let the kid go out with a GROWN MAN!!!!!! They thought he was nice???? I took one look at him and could tell there was something wrong. Because they wanted to keep the child happy they cost him his life. I am sure eating three meals of candy would make a child happy too but as AN ADULT it is your responsibility to teach them right from wrong and I am sorry but transitioning is not helpful at all it seems.

Its easier for them to manipulate a minor with less life experience. Stay away from them. They will tell you how mature you seem for your age and how amazing you are. They will lie to get to you.

I agree with you completely. People in the comment section can be so insensitive! Apart from the fact that her family members could be reading those comments!
Agreed. It disgusts me. It's like this gives these dark hearts time to focus not on their numerous faults in life, in relationships, etc. But on this transgender child.

This is why transgender people need to be upfront and honest. Even though the media will always cloak for these freaks of nature, for the role they played in deceiving heterosexual men, wrong is wrong on both ends of the spectrum. Therefore, Mercedes was a victim of his own confusion while Josh is the victim of deception.
Why aren't the police talking about a 27 year old ex-con dating a 17 year old and possibly since the kid was 16 years old.
Because it's not illegal in most places around the world (and in most states in the USA it isn't either)
People date who they want.
Even the family seemed to be fine with it. Aside from the kids father I assume.
Must be Alabama. They all have an accent....
Because murder. That was the biggest crime after all
The aunt looks like someone who would not only let this happen but encourage it to continue.
She's probly a big influence to why he's a girl
This killer's father is a decent human being. In so many of these stories parents try to cover up. I am always amazed by that. I love my kids but the most they MIGHT get from me if they commit crimes is some pocket money for commissary.
So you're with the halfass conditional parental love, loyalty and devotion; cool
You have a warped perception of love. I don't think covering up a crime is an act of love. Especially such a serious crime. Holding your children accountable for their actions is loving parenting. It's part of how you teach them not to commit crimes in the first place.

people no. he was NOT closeted. he had no issues with his sexuality, PER SE. the problem was his gang affiliation. remember he had dick pix all over his phone...and he knew mercedes was a dude. the issue was his gang didn't allow such relationships. so in order for him to stay alive he had to kill her since the gang was onto to their affair, or rather onto the fact the mercedes was a boy.

@@gamingbypix Exactly. Allowing their son, who identifies as a girl (which is fine for them) to date a grown-ass man much older than him. Then talking about it like it was normal. A man that age is probably ready to settle down and start a family. Of course, if the son doesn't reveal his true gender to the man, this may present a problem. His parents should have cautioned him, or better yet, disallowed such an imbalanced relationship! Disgusting.

@@ccisthesekxs Nah bro, they let this kid mutilate his genitals and take life-altering chemicals at age 14, BEFORE they even have a chance to go through normal puberty and mental development. Clearly that also played a factor in this whole thing, the parents didn't care about anything their kid did and they did the opposite, they encouraged this.
They let their son pretend to be a girl I doubt they would be so anti LGBT to deny their son a chance to engage in the most common homosexual relationship recorded in history. An adult man and a little boy. This relationship is normally celebrated in the LGBT community. The USA's first openly gay politician Harvey Milk did it and the USA named a ship after him.
Parents, stop letting your minors date full-grown adults, even if it's normalized to you because you did it. Mercedes shouldn't have even been dating a 27-year-old man with her parent's blessing. SMH

I doubt it, prison isn't like it's portrayed in the movies and on T.V., I worked at a men's max security prison for almost 20 years and then worked at a Women's max security prison for 2 more, and it's not like that at all, Not to say rape doesn't happen anymore because it certainly does but it's EXTREMLY rare in men's prison but it happens more frequently in Womens prison and that's still not often, because sex is so freely given in men's prison, why have to fight a guy to make him your punk and taking a chance of one the staff noticing the wounds and his behavior and getting into trouble and getting more time when the guy in the next cell over is giving it up for free excpet for the snack cakes or favor you have to do for his "daddy", men aren't looking for love or to be loved, they're just looking to get their rocks off where as women are looking for love and to be loved while they are there and can be talked/pressured into sex with another woman and then you have the bull dykes that takes what they want where they want it or not, it's not really like that in male prison because it's so freely given whether it's to survive because they have noone on the outside or they doing it as a "hustle" to have extra stuff. I would gather to say women in prison are raped more by another inmate than men at probally a 5 or 6 to 1, simply because men don't have to anymore, it's a supply and demand thing, like i said, i'm not saying it DON'T happen because it does but it happens very rarely and it happens alot or in womens prison than it does in mens prison.

If her family loved her so much, why they let her date a 30 year old whack job? Why they let her mutilate herself with implants before she was even old enough to drink? Also, toxic masculinity 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 okay, groomer!
@nathanaeldavid6238 you
@@Michaelstrout-vd6jy Being so insecure that you join a gang and kill someone who you had sex with because your gangbanger buddies were making fun of you... THAT is the definition of toxic masculinity.
Of course he knew i could tell straight away. Funny how they always say that 🤪 🙄 🤦♀️
"...i dont know how someone can claim p**** panic when they have HUNDREDS of pictures p**** on their phone..."
YYOO!! LMAO!!!!
...bruh.
I remember watching the news in real time. About Gilgo Beach. These are women who were violentlly murdered. Something they didn't deserve. I hope all of them get their justice.
Well now that he's in prison he can have a buffet of trans women he wants and can be completely open about it. Or will the kings in prison get him?
Boy he don’t know when to shut his mouth up first the phone now telling them what kind of crime this would be😮
I like how everyone defends the trans that didn’t let a straight man know he was also a man. That shit is disgusting. Especially if you’re religious, imagine thinking it’s a female and it’s a man deceiving. I would do the same thing.
@@TP-tb4mmI agree with what you’re saying but…. Not the case here. He has gay porn on his phone. He is gay and he knew that she was trans.
And non of them will look better than Mercedes
@@TP-tb4mmHe knew he was transsexual. No one kept it a secret, well except for him.
Picking up hitchhikers is illegal to protect the innocent from potential killers. Seat-belts mandatory to protect you from your own accident or the accidents of others. Catfishing will be made illegal for the same reason.
You sound like another secret gay man fighting the desire to date trans
The story about the Gilgo beach killer is strange because they found the killer and it’s an architect from Manhattan
i was thinking the same thing :/
This is old even though they just reuploaded it again
I was confused asl
She was so beautiful. He's a monster. She shouldn't have been dating a predator. Wish someone would have kept her safe. Heartbreaking.
Remember teens an older person only goes after you because they want to manipulate and control you. People their age wouldn't put up with them so they go after minors to use them. Its easier for them to manipulate a minor with less life experience. Stay away from them. They will tell you how mature you seem for your age and how amazing you are. They will lie to get to you. I promise they do not love you. They only want to use you. They are predators.
SAD....So the mom allowed her 17 year old son/ daughter to be with a 27 year old man in her house??
Trans girl. She is a she.
Its okay.... you can refer to him as just "son." Stop living in fear of how you speak.
@@cooganalaska3249 SHE
@@cooganalaska3249 i mean the mom is calling the son "she" so i dont think its fear sweety, i think you are the one filled with fear around trans people lol
Son
this is the dangers of doing this. parents need to stop their kids from doing this
Victim blaming isn't the answer here. Try harder
@@SimonTrepanier1 what caused the death then? cause i thought it was pretending to be a woman then dating a guy in a gang that hates anything like that
@@matthewfors114 i think it was just the guy's part of being a crazy pos in a gang lol
and her for being with him
Dudes a coward. Just be yourself.
The discrimination for being gay
But Rex Heurmemann is in custody for murder on 4 of them… soooo I’m confused
Maybe this is an old episode.
I was thinking the same thing
It is an old episode...... Chris Hanson hasn't been with the show for years...... don't even know if it is still on television.
Yeah. I thought it was the fat guy that ate entire large pizzas for lunch who was the Gilgo Beach Killer. Rex Hooverman.
He could've just broken up and stayed away from Mercedes.
Laws in your country are unbelievable, he gets to L1ve all his life, unaliving a teen child.
That's unfair.
what country are you from?
@@-maccabee Gaza. lol
Yes, same as above. We charge people for murder much harsher than pretty much any other developed country! So…?
a teen is not a child.
He's a liar. He knew full well what he was dealing with. He killed her because he got rejected.
him
she was beautiful, whats to be ashamed of ?
This didn't make no National headlines around the world this case just make National headlines in Mississippi and america.
Maybe because there wasn't a trial.
😂
they exagerated that a lot, so many murder cases, who can remember them all.
Yea it wasn’t even a big story in Mississippi
That’s the difference between national and international.
Allowing your son to transition at 14, is child abuse.
I can see a guy getting upset when he's been fooled and lied to. But this was a months long relationship. I figure he knew his girlfriend was packing a surprise.
Maybe they started it slowly! How do you know they exchanged more than kisses? This was a relationship forever!
@@RichardWagner-hi4znif you watched the video you would see that they had sex way before he murdered her
@@ShadBoss-wx1kc I would see that? Ewwwww!
