My father died in early February of this year. In the months leading up to his death, he used to talk to me about this really cool guy on RUclips who is a Navy SEAL who tells all these really cool stories, and he would also discuss said stories with me. Earlier this month I was looking at his RUclips history, it consisted of nothing but your videos. You brought my father such happiness in his final months. I subscribed to you a week ago, and I think I’ve watched every one of your videos. Thank you so much for your content.
He wasn't scared, but that guy must have been really, really, really horny to freeze, get burnt, hungry, bitten by bugs and tired walking in the wild forest for a week, and yet being hell bent on having sex with her. XD
The fact that this case went from a satanic Australian cult performing human sacrifices to a guy who just wanted to get laid has to be one of the biggest plot twists I've seen on this channel.
You summed it up PERFECTLY. I was holding my breath thinking she was going to be buried alive. Then I'm ready to throw up that they walked in a big circle. I get lost all the time and have nightmares just like this story. But NEVER did I suspect that the kidnapper was just some lame, horny dude.
I was immediately suspicious when Julian said he got hit on the head and was unconscious for several hours. This only happens on TV. It’s possible to be knocked unconscious, but only for a few seconds. Anything more than that, and there is permanent damage or you are dead.
I hate that Caroline had to go through this traumatic experience, but she dodged a huge bullet. Imagine the nightmare of being Julian's wife. I hope she's doing well in life
One thing is certain: He did NOT love her. How could you hurt someone you love so badly! And betray in such a horrible way. The cherry on top was his attempt to shape shift and become an Indian. What a clown this guy is.
You know, after picking my jaw up after his absolutely ridiculous reason for doing all of that, that was my first thought too. What kind of thing would do this to someone they claim to love?
To be fair, in some hiking trails, experienced hikers will leave rations for those who might be lost / need help. I remember one woman who hiked the Appalachians multiple times would leave care packs with food that doesn’t perish easily.
I don't think at that situation,even if she wanted to,any woman could have sex under those conditions...that guy was just out of touch with reality for what he did ...
@@dionisis0018 Absolutely! after just suspecting Julian was in on this kidnapping, his picture definitely took on a sociopath vibe. Carolyn fortunate he didn’t turn on her after her refusals.
all this proves is womens naivness lmao they truly belive that every man wants their vagina even tho 80% of men will never in their life lick a vagina lmao
@@conniesobotka4491 you are actully cringeworthy haha might aswell just say she was LUCKY he didnt rape her... i assume ur a woman ? you wanna know why u havent been raped ? becuse its so very rare and most rape cases or ACCUSASTIONS are not real
Carolyn: *laying there, repeating the traumatic events in her mind, still seeing the man in the ski mask when she closes her eyes, hoping a search party will turn up any moment to rescue them from the torment and horror, so she can be safe at home with her family, who, she knows will be desperate to find them* Julian: "Wanna have sex??"
So when my mother told me, when I was younger, that some guys will say or do anything to get sex, this is the kind of creep that she was referring to. My heart goes out to this poor girl and no doubt she was very thankful that she didn’t give in to this monster. Hats off to her! Keep him locked up.
I agree with your mother. However, I'm not 100% convinced that this case was only about getting some. Anyone who goes through such an elaborate deception like that and tackles, hogties, kidnaps, starves, dehydrates, burns and exhausts someone else is on a power trip. I think it was all about power for him. The man is a psychopath.
@@WorthlessDeadEnd You’re absolutely right about this. All of his preplanning, along with his cruelty to the woman he was planning on marrying is staggering. I agree with you that this went far beyond going to extremes to ‘get some’. The betrayal and trauma he inflicted on this young woman is something that will likely take her a very long time to recover from. I remain thankful for her, that she maintained true to her beliefs and did not allow him to wear her down. She is an exceptional person and I wish her and her family all the best.
Your mother is a smart woman! I so glad the girl did save herself for marriage even after that. I can only hope he lost his virginity against his will in prison!
I'm a man and understand how active our libido can be, but this guy is insane. Clearly has some screws loose because who in their right mind thinks this is ok? Definitely not a person someone should marry. If he was capable of doing this now, who knows what else he'd do once married. Had the poor woman fearing for her life for a whole week.
One of the little things I really appreciate is that you mark photos as "real picture" or "NOT the real photo". A lot of other channels do not do this and it leaves me confused when I see an image as to whether I am looking at the real thing or just some stock image related to the topic. Well done.
@@MrBallen I love all your videos not only that but the starting joke before the video are funny , not only your very very respectful with a sense of humor , but you’re humble you make my struggling days a lot more tolerable for me thank you a million times !!! God bless you and your family . Sending love from N.Y Queens ….
So, after all that effort, he still did not get laid. All those nights in a sleeping bag in the woods......what an embarrassing story to tell your cell mate.
Aussie note: Churchill and Budgeree are in Victoria. I think you said the south of Australia (which is technically true) but because we have a state called South Australia it’s a bit confusing… also some people don’t realise that Australia is freaking huge, roughly the size of the US, so mistaking two small south-eastern Victoria towns for South Australia is like a 1,000-2,000 km difference! Also the the south of Australia in general spans about 4,000km and would take about 5-6 days to drive across. It’s a very large generalisation. Also on a side note, my godmother is a Carolyn from Churchill! Not THE Carolyn, but another Carolyn lols. My mum grew up in a small town called Morwell, which is about 15mins from Churchill, but in the opposite direction from Budgeree. It legit had no idea this happened so close to my family 😅
I was suspicious the minute I heard the story about getting snuck up on at roadkill. That type of diversion trap might work well in a Friday The 13th flick, but it could never work in reality.
We are very perceptive creatures to the point where we perceive things with our subconscious part of our brain that our conscious brain can't actively process it. That's called our gut feeling.
MrBallen’s kids: “Dad can you tell us a bedtime story before you leave?” MrBallen: “If you’re a fan of the strange dark & mysterious told in story format-” Kids: ”DAD NO”
For anyone wondering why people check roadkill here in Australia, it's because a lot our native animals (kangaroos, wombats, etc.) carry their young in their pouches. Whenever you see roadkill, you should stop to see if their young is still alive so that it can be rescued and taken to people who take care of orphaned wildlife. If there are no young in the pouch, you should spray paint an 'X' on the carcass (a lot of us carry spray paint for this purpose). Stopping to check roadkill in Australia isn't a weird thing to do, in fact it is encouraged. Edit: Holy moly I cannot believe how many likes this has - thanks everyone!
In the states we , well some of us, stop and check opossums for young since usually the mothers body cushions the hit enough to keep them unharmed. However.. if someone does not check for babies, they slowly starve to death or end up getting run over as well. I wish everyone would take the moment to check on any animal they may have hit.. sadly many make a damn game out of it and look at animals as less deserving then a homosapian.
oh, i just thought julian was a really normal guy who likes checking out interesting roadkill and orchestrating the kidnapping of himself and his fiance.
Very true. My sister and I had to haul a very large, very freshly dead wombat off the road two nights ago, and when she initially went to check if there were a baby, she was incredibly relieved to see very distinct testicles. Thank God, but poor thing. I hate it, and it makes me endlessly furious that there are so many dickheads out there who just drive recklessly and don't give two shits about the animals that are in the area, even when they know it's an area with abundant wildlife.
Mr. Ballen, I think you are my personal obsessional neurosis😃. Every morning I make cappucino, prepare my breakfast and then I want to watch tutorials for the projects I have planned. So I open RUclips and the first thing I see is Mr.Ballen... okay, there's a video for breakfast....after about an hour or two I notice that I've got stuck with you again and that it's over now It's also not worth starting my project anymore....so I'm thinking about how my day should go on with a Mr. Ballen video... when I look at the clock again, it's time for supper and because I've been up all day anyway looking at Mr. Ballen I just keep going until I fall asleep...so Mr. Ballen you are ruining my life 😃😃 Seriously, your videos are great, they are exciting, not exaggerated and your way of telling them is also unique. Many greetings from Germany and THANK YOU a lot! ❤ THOGRE
Man i watched so many of your videos that I start over again watching old videos without knowing that I watched them before and I enjoy them again haha
I’m so glad that Julian actually listened to her no’s. I’m honestly surprised he did but for her sake i’m so glad she came out of this relatively unharmed
As awful as this is, I actually thought for a moment that he was going to assault her but hiding behind his kidnapper disguise. That it didn't play out that way is one positive aspect but I can't imagine how much fear Carolyn went through, binded, bundled into a car boot then having to watch someone dig a hole in the middle of a forest. I would have been terrified and expecting to be killed. Then another week of torture "escaping" the supposed kidnapper. Only to discover it was her fiance. The amount of issues that could cause in her future, in relationships, trust issues, PTSD. All because Julian couldn't wait to have sex.
Big yikes. What a creep. I love how you split the story up with the intro, the fake story, then the real story. Definitely kept me on my toes. As always, great story telling! ❤️
Nonsense. How could the Carolyn not recognize her husband who's digging a grave right in front of her for hours? Like she couldn't tell it's him. Lol. Story is nonsense or she was involved
This has to be, by far, the most extreme idea a man has possibly conjured up in order to sleep with a woman. 😀 Great storytelling once again, Mr. Ballen!
You mean to rape a woman. Even if she had agreed to the sex, it would not have been consensual as it would have been under extreme duress. She never would have consented in any circumstance. He did all this to try to rape her in a way that felt like consent to him.
i thought i couldn't laugh any harder after the " he staged the whole thing just to have sex" but then Ballen got me again at "he painted his skin a darker shade and flee to india" 😂😂😂😂
What pussy does to a mf ig 😂 guess in the end he never got any other than an oversized prison wallet. Idk but Australia but that wouldnt fly here in the US
Yes.. And the funniest part is that he still didn't get sex.. lol Now he's going to have to wait 7 years before he'll ever get another chance to have sex and I bet it certainly won't be with Carolynne..
This GUY. What the hell. Why ON EARTH?! Lady, you are SO lucky. I hope you can still recover from the trauma, because this guy is a pathetic creep. I kinda have to laugh. 😆
On the plus side, he got to romantically share one bunk with someone for 7 years who not only never said no to love making, but forcefully insisted on it. I sure hope his first time was all it cracked up to be. 💕
MrBallen’s kids: “Dad can you tell us a bedtime story before you leave?” MrBallen: “If you’re a fan of the strange dark & mysterious told in story format-”
I have to believe that at some level, she suspected it was him the whole time, and just played along because she didn't know what he'd do if he found out she knew. Also, he used his own backpacks and camping gear? And why the hell would he think she'd be "in the mood" when she thinks they're lost in the woods and she's afraid for their lives, bug-bitten, sunburned, filthy, traumatized and exhausted? That's more than normal stupidity, there's something wrong with his brain.
I was thinking about this. If I knew someone really well (especially a partner) and they kidnapped me I feel like I would know it was them even if they were dressed all in black. You would just be able to tell by their mannerisms, movement, smell, size, breathing etc etc etc.
He gets 7 years in prison. She gets multiple lifetimes of therapy. Trust issues. Commitment issues. Intimacy issues. Issues with confined spaces. Issues being alone and issues being with others. I'm not super religious but in this case I can't imagine that anything but faith would be able to keep her sane.
I used to check trash bags (and any other bags suit case) when I was young. My father used to tell me ur gonna find a dead body one day. Almost found one under a bridge. A friend went missing and I wanted to look for her. I would have found her under the 1st bridge but my husband said ,"I'm sure the police looked under all the surrounding bridges. A month later she was found at exact place. Her killer was never found. Nothing but mostly bones the time they found her due to the element's.
Also, it takes alot to make you unconscious, even if you do... You'll get brain damage... Was wondering why he was acting like nothing happened after he got unconscious
West Aussie here, we usually stop for big road kill or fresh road kill, especially Kangaroos to check if there are any joey's. Sometimes the animals have babies around, need to be moved of the road, or the animal may not be dead. If it's big, other then wild boar, goats, wild dogs, horses or cattle/bulls, we don't have many big wild animals here, so it would stop us to see what the heck it was😂🤣
As soon as I heard that he magically ran in the right direction to find her, I knew something was off. The being left there could of been some sick game, the knife could of fallen and forgotten about. But in a forest, and you just happen to run into the right direction. That out up red flags. Also the fact that… where was he as she was being transported in the trunk.
Shoutout to Carolynn for sticking to her values despite what she thought were life or death circumstances. I hope wherever she is, she is on her way to healing and feels pride in standing by what she believes in.
Honestly i am not someone who thinks that Virginity etc etc is much a do about nothing. But in this case i can say i agree with you. The fact she probably has been left with trauma after this. She is also very lucky she didn't end up being raped by the freak. Worse still as unlikely to be on any sort of protection. Pregnant
suddenly I don't feel so bad about being in the minority. Just think of all those moldt c**ks I've missed out on, and avoiding being tied to an actual c**k! 😄😁
This was an ending to the story I never would have imagined. The fear Carolynne must have felt the entire time, the relief of making it out ok only to find out that it was her boyfriend who orchestrated it all. What a range of intense emotions she went through. The agony the families went though when they were missing is sad.
I knew something was suspicious when he claimed to have been knocked out by a blow to the head; that is a Hollywood trope. The roadkill premise also sounded like something a teenager would concoct. Although I didn’t guess the actual ending, the fact that there was a sleeping bag left out made me think that they were being pressured to have sex as an initiation, or that Julian was involved behind-the-scenes. I guess when you live in such isolation without any release, your mind can create some elaborate plots.
hold on, are you telling me that there was absolutely no chance of him never being caught over this stupid ass kidnapping? Lol Julian when blue balls mad and really though that he could kidnap his way into sex.
"We need to have sex to produce enough heat so that we don't freeze to death out here" 1. That guy ain't to bright. 2. I can garentee she saved herself from a bad marriage. 3. I wouldn't doubt if had a feeling that he set it up.
@@Zoroaster4 in highlight and in a non life threatening situation just listening to the storry, I realized the moment he said "he's wearing a baklava and he pointed to the shovel" that the "mystery man" didn't want to show his face of voice in fear of being easily recognizable, knowing that most of the crimes are committed by somebody that you know... it was not so very obvious that he was the masked man, playing the hero. Then they find a sleeping bag, food, tools... this is not a hunger game! HE DID IT! a psychopath serial killer wouldn't give two fucks if you saw their face or heard them speaking... you're dead anyway. Like that maniac in Alaska that loved hunting people, he was playing real life hunger games, and that is why this is so scary, because the boyfriend was stupid as fuck, but some people are actually that sick as to toy with their victims.
@@svampebob007 Yeah I read the comments right away and that kinda ruined the reveal for me. But I do want to say I'm pretty sure prostitution was legal in Australia when this happened. I think that sounds like a whole lot less work than the whole kidnapping your unwilling girlfriend thing.
@@Zoroaster4 But he is a devout christian. No cheating, no prostitution, no raping. He maybe thought that sex before marriage wasn't as bad because they would be married in a year anyway so it would be the same
As an Australian, I’d never heard this story before and what a truly bizarre case. Thanks Mr B for sharing it! I’m glad no one was seriously hurt or killed. Poor Caroline though. She’d be scarred for life.
Never heard of it either. From Perth. This girl didn’t recognise her own partner was standing in the road wearing the balaclava and didn’t recognise her own partners writing in the note. 🧐🤷♀️
I think this is the ONLY one of the many awesome podcasts that I’ve watched from MrBallen that I have laughed at🤣 I’ve NEVER heard of ANYONE going to such great lengths to get 🐈
Poor Caroline. Going through such a traumatic ordeal, and then finding out it was orchestrated by the guy who you loved/planned to marry on top of that. This one is really disgusting to me, especially considering she was just a teenager.
Carolyn: "Oh god, we are really being hunted around the wilderness out here? This is so terrifying and traumatic." Julian: "Yeah sure. Anyway, want som fucc"
"It was said that Julian can be heard humming an out-of-tune melody of Can You Feel The Love Tonight while the two were trying to escape from the forest..."
The second we heard julian wanted to see this roadkill sooo badly that he was willing to get out and walk to go see it i knew he was in on whatever was about to happen. It's already weird asf to be that intrigued with a dead carcass on the road, its another level of weird to be so intrigued that you stop your vehicle, get out, and walk down the road to see if you drove by it when you could have easily just turned the car around.
@@esme765 yeah I don't disagree. My comment was more in regards to how I know I would feel if I ultimately chose to acquiesce to his intentions, satisfying his malevolent plan. No judgment one way or the other on what the actual objective was, in this case, to have sex. Just that by doing so his objective behind his deceit was ultimately accomplished by the consummation. For that, I would feel outraged & appalled, even more so. Basically, he's scum & I would feel relief that he didn't get what he wanted as a conclusion of his trickery & deception.
@@esme765 Bingo! & that makes me smile I mean, I wish she wouldn't have had to b traumatized by him putting her through this ordeal, but at least his plan ultimately didn't work. He gets the punishment with no "reward". & even though he technically could've r*ped her, I don't think he thought of ever doing that. He still wanted to uphold the false image of being a better person than he actually was. Trying to b her knight in shining armor who rescued the damsel in distress & then, in his mind, receive her payment of gratitude for his efforts. Straight up psycho!
I feel terrible for that poor girl. Not only did she get traumatized, starved, and essentially tortured for 7 days... she lost the person she loved and thought she was going to marry. Turns out that person did not really exist. This is beyond stupid teenage boy behavior. This could have turned into much darker behavior down the road.
Not comparable to "stupid teenage boy behavior". He only thinks of himself and shows zero empathy. He is a psychopath and the only thing darker than this is murder or enslavement.
My channel covers true crime and we covered Kari Swenson's case. she was kidnapped by a father son duo up in the mountains because the husband needed a "Mountain Bride". It's such a wild story but how the media handled it (it happened in the 70s) really annoyed me because they were trying to romanticize it.
Great story teller I don’t even have to watch TV lol , feel like I lived a few lives the way you tell these stories hope ur doing good and still giving us these great stories bro .
It's wild this dude had enough resolve to endure the Australian wilderness completely naked baking in the sun and freezing at night but not enough to wait just a year to get laid..
As an Indian viewer, when I saw his "Indian passport" and his photo I was laughing like a madman. How could the Australian authorities fall for this? Wth?.
Current will take you to bells canyon😭😭😭 I have seen too many of your videos. Just like that guy in the woods who got followed by the guy who wanted directions to bells canyon. I love this channel
I would like to take this time to Let everyone know that besides being an Incredible Story Teller, Jon Ballen helps many Veterans transition into the Workforce, I recently found this out in an interview with another Navy Seal. This Young Man is Incredible and a blessing to our Nation(& World).
The fact that he wanted to have sex while they were being "abducted" was a pretty good giveaway. If he REALLY felt in danger for his life; he wouldn't have been able to put his guard down, so sex would definitely be off the table. Women are, usually, not aroused by imminent or potential death; They want to feel protected.
Depends on the person there are people out there that if there on the run from whatever after a couple days they usually let the guard down and if they are a couple would have sex and ya in immediate danger then no but after no signs of the attacker after a few days there guards would most deff be down enough to have sex I’m sure the women felt safe after a few days but she stuck to her morales and props to her for that
Didn't some guy in Texas stage his own kidnapping in front of his wife in like 2013 so he could go out drinking with his friends all night? This kid had it completely the wrong way around!
So did a woman in Texas named Sherri she faked her kidnapping she was married with kids.. all because she wanted to screw her ex boyfriend hahaha and her husband went on national TV crying and begging for her safe return they even raised 100 k so whoever had her will send her back.
Dang 🤣 🤣 🤣 Hey some men need to grow some balls for real !!! I do know that you're supposed to respect your wife or significant other, but if you're that afraid of your partner then maybe this isn't the right relationship for you or get some serious help, one or the other?
@@maramarxx2431 Ain't nothing as bad as the wrath of ole wifey huh? That's crazy and when you're at that point in your marriage or relationship, where you'd rather do something so outrageous than tell your partner you're just trying to go out for a drink or 2, then maybe being in that relationship isn't the right thing for you? Get some help or grow a backbone!
Got stuck working this weekend, but nothing brightens my day more than a fresh strange, dark, and mysterious tale delivered in story format! Thanks, Mr. Ballen!
Yeah. Same.😔 And we are short on help now so I'm stuck alone covering three departments. So my lunch break watching these videos is the highlight of my day!
I told a very dear friend of mine about this channel. Unfortunately she had cancer. But during her treatment we would sit together and snuggle in the bed and the laptop and listen to mr. Ballen. It gave her a lot of entertainment. She died listening to him. 😢😢😢. But she was happy listening to mr.ballen and his fantastic stories.
The fact that he tied her up in such a painful position and left her like that for so many hours just shows how wicked he is. If she hadn’t continued to say no to this weirdo, she might have become pregnant and then she and her child would always be connected to him. Horrifying!
@@sha2596 as a God fearing man, this wasn't God. What happened is the natural course of things. She refused, he gave up, and later on when the cops did what should be typically done, find out where evidence leads, it was over.
@@8MoneyIzmyMission8 You could say God gave her the strength of will to continue to say no to her kidnapper boyfriend throughout their time in the wilderness. This whole story is insane.. This guy was cruel enough to put her through this ordeal but he wasn't going to cross the line and commit rape. Thankfully. Someone should study that guy's brain...
@@sha2596 damn man after hearing a story like this you still manage to involve god in this in a positive manner. for the same count, they both would've died right there and then. but I guess religious people have excuses for literally every action to have ever existed. there's never any credit given to people who have a strong will or train extremely hard to achieve goals or anything. always crediting god.
I was going to go on a tangent about how sad it is that she was a victim for being Christian,as I am, and how scary it is at times yet its often seems to be socially inept sheepish little men who cannot talk to the woman they supposedly love and yet they try to pull off this elaborate yet ridiculous scheme and have no thought about the consequences. SO STRANGE!
Genuinely. A bad part is some people just use this video to bash Christians and call them all crazy and stuff. Beside my point though I agree what she went through is awful and I hope she is lead to a better person.
I live In Australia and remember this case very clearly. Thank you for telling this story without leaving out any of the facts. This poor girl was terrified and still suffers from PTSD due to the trauma.
So I learned 3 things here- the ONA are a thing, if you absolutely have to stage a kidnapping it’s poor form to use restraints that can be provably traced back to you and don’t come up with a ridiculously unbelievable cover story that involves your assailants conveniently leaving you survival and escape equipment whenever and wherever you need it. Oh and flowers and chocolate are more effective seduction tools than sunburn, exhaustion, dehydration, malnutrition, life threatening traumatic experiences and psychological torture.
It's not astro physics is it? A similar crime happened in maybe Sydney in the 90s or something...maybe he saw that and was like "That guy's a ducking genius, but I'd never get caught if i did that..." Disclaimer: I swear, were(Australians)are not like this
yeah, a lot of ONA members are also part of the police and military and use those occupations as a way of committing human sacrifice. most members are also part of white supremacist groups, and they're the only satanic group to believe in ritual sacrifice
The world is on the verge of complete chaos and destruction. These days anything u can possibly imagine that is nefarious and disgusting happens in real time every day...
OMG the comment at around 15:43 about "even give you directions to bell canyon" cracked me up. Me and my wife were listening to some of your scary stories last night and that was one of em....😂😂😂😂😂😂
That has got to be the most elaborate plan I have ever heard to get laid. And my god the trust issues she's going to have moving forward. Even if she did dodge a bullet and avoid marrying someone that creepy.
The fact that someone would rather traumatize their girlfriend in such a horrible manner rather than denounce their faith in order to have sex confounds me. He somehow managed to rationalize in his head that his egregious actions were a “lesser sin” than sex outside of wedlock. Religion is terrifying because it makes people do crazy things.
I’m from Australia and remember this case. This crime has not only cost him jail time, he was stripped from his true nationality. he was deported back to Germany soon after serving his time. The parents migrated from Germany in the mid 80’s then after going back to Germany for an extended visit, Julian was born there and returned to Aus when he was only 1yr old. For some reason he never applied for an Australian passport and was only a permanent resident. His siblings are Australians, he Didn’t speak any German, had no German friends, and is as Australian as an emu. According to Australian laws, you get deported even though you have permanent residency depending on the crime.
@@gremlinwithgun7527 I literally saw two wild emus walking around this week. I'm from Victoria in Australia. My friend who was with me called them "bush chooks" ! Lol
He looks so self-satisfied in those photos. I hope she finds peace; she dodged one helluva bullet there, though *her* parents should've been wary of a 25 year old trying to hook up with their 17 year old daughter.
Honestly nothing ever happens in Australia so when I saw this when it first came out I pressed on it immediately. Watching it now a year later Im still surprised in how pathetic the reason for the kidnapping was.
@@JarinCOD I don't think he would care about that if he he was planning to have premarital intercourse Proud of her saying no and not thinking "oh we are probably gonna die might as well do it before we die"
The entire time I was listening to this story I could not believe that someone would stop to look at roadkill. Then I wondered who in the world would use roadkill as bait to kidnap someone.
Shows how warped his mind was. Imagine if she had married him before she found out what a sicko he is.Ughhh!!!🤮Thank god she got through it and how she refused his sex advances. Good job lady!!🏴👍🌎🇺🇸
It’s like the story of the guy who setup the girl’s kidnapping and his health problems made him sleep on it and she died in the trunk like what goes through these guys’ minds to play hero to get some? Makes me want to be a nun.
Live in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere ... yeah, makes sense that you'd go insane. That being said, I feel sorry for Caroline who having to endure such a traumatic experience.
I can not fathom the amount of betrayal and trauma Carolyn went through AFTER all that when she finds out it was Julian the whole time... and all for sex. My gosh. I'm so glad Carolyn refused that monster.
Man, i can only imagine that feeling of betrayal that girl went through.. Could you imagine someone who trusted so much doing something like this to you? Absolutely horrible.
@Ying Filltling maybe, maybe not - feel like the trauma of being stalked by a potential murderer is traumatic enough- to know your partner set it up tho, whole other ball game
My father died in early February of this year. In the months leading up to his death, he used to talk to me about this really cool guy on RUclips who is a Navy SEAL who tells all these really cool stories, and he would also discuss said stories with me.

Hey I am very sorry for your loss, may your father rest in peace❤️
Wow I’m really honored to have helped your dad like that. That’s really nice to read.
That said, im so sorry to hear about your loss. 🙏
i love that! Mr Ballen is the greatest. So happy to hear he brought your father so much joy and I am deeply sorry for your loss.
My father also died in February and I'd love to find a common interest we shared but im so happy for you.
He really thought she'd be in the mood after being kidnapped, sunburnt, traumatized and fearing for her life....oh honey, no, no.
Idk some people be kinky
@@kyliemoore9013 yeah...some people...not that poor traumatized girl though 🤷🏻♀️
I thought it was quite romantic ❤️
He wasn't scared, but that guy must have been really, really, really horny to freeze, get burnt, hungry, bitten by bugs and tired walking in the wild forest for a week, and yet being hell bent on having sex with her. XD
Well those dumb books like 50 shades of gray say otherwise.
The fact that this case went from a satanic Australian cult performing human sacrifices to a guy who just wanted to get laid has to be one of the biggest plot twists I've seen on this channel.
You summed it up PERFECTLY. I was holding my breath thinking she was going to be buried alive. Then I'm ready to throw up that they walked in a big circle. I get lost all the time and have nightmares just like this story. But NEVER did I suspect that the kidnapper was just some lame, horny dude.
The cult is known as the family , many many children and women murdered
Well, he was a lot more than just wanting to get laid....
Seriously I thought they would end up dead after trying to scape, but when the truth came out…. WOW, all that to get sex, he was really horny 🤣😂🤣🤷🏻♀️
I was immediately suspicious when Julian said he got hit on the head and was unconscious for several hours. This only happens on TV. It’s possible to be knocked unconscious, but only for a few seconds. Anything more than that, and there is permanent damage or you are dead.
I hate that Caroline had to go through this traumatic experience, but she dodged a huge bullet. Imagine the nightmare of being Julian's wife. I hope she's doing well in life
One thing is certain:
He did NOT love her.
How could you hurt someone you love so badly! And betray in such a horrible way.
The cherry on top was his attempt to shape shift and become an Indian. What a clown this guy is.
Update 2023: She's still a virgin. She's waiting for god.
God can forgive anything but that does not mean he is going to let any sin go unpunished completely.
You know, after picking my jaw up after his absolutely ridiculous reason for doing all of that, that was my first thought too. What kind of thing would do this to someone they claim to love?
@@ryanedwards7487 That and all of this is so uncomfortably rapey? That poor woman is probably so glad she didn't "put out". Ew.
I laughed so hard when he revealed the dudes kidnapping reason, its one of the most pathetic people I ever heard about.
Ikr SAME I feel bad for laughing though...
i bet he didnt have to wait long when he got to jail
@@brodieroomojo 🤣 nah fr
to be fair he had better planning than the majority of murderers, i was actually kind of impressed, he had potential as a serial killer lol
Right?! Freakin' Loser!! And he probably went to jail a virgin!
Was expecting the ol' "that's not roadkill, that's a person!" scenario. Thanks man, another great telling
Yes, just initially, I thought that too!
So was I! How twisted my mind is!🙄
My natural reaction too. Nice to hear a story where nobody died now and again, but still terrifying.
I was too
I was thinking that way too lol 🤣
The fact that they found life-saving supplies after being kidnapped makes me think of how it works in videogames 😅
I thought the same💀
There was also ammo and bullet proof vests just lying around all over the floor.
@@DiamondCake2 yeah, he made a real-life videogame 😆
To be fair, in some hiking trails, experienced hikers will leave rations for those who might be lost / need help. I remember one woman who hiked the Appalachians multiple times would leave care packs with food that doesn’t perish easily.
I saw those giant gold coins hanging in the forest too ding ding ding
What a dirty sicko!! I'm so proud of Caroline for holding her ground the entire time. 😭
Imagine doing ALL THAT insane crap to get some and the young lady stills denies you. Good on you, Carolyn 💪🏾
lmao yeah
He thought that would set the mood... LOL!
Bruh. That ending. Good on her though for sticking to her values even under the circumstances.
I don't think at that situation,even if she wanted to,any woman could have sex under those conditions...that guy was just out of touch with reality for what he did ...
@@dionisis0018 Absolutely! after just suspecting Julian was in on this kidnapping, his picture definitely took on a sociopath vibe. Carolyn fortunate he didn’t turn on her after her refusals.
Having the urge to be intimate, while being hunted by the "nine order", would be high on the list for any woman.
all this proves is womens naivness lmao they truly belive that every man wants their vagina even tho 80% of men will never in their life lick a vagina lmao
@@conniesobotka4491 you are actully cringeworthy haha might aswell just say she was LUCKY he didnt rape her... i assume ur a woman ? you wanna know why u havent been raped ? becuse its so very rare and most rape cases or ACCUSASTIONS are not real
Damn, I definitely didn’t expect this plot twist 💀. This is so bloody ridiculous… I feel sorry for the girl :((
It would not shock me after all the terror she went through, that she became a nun. Bless her heart and the families for what they endured.
Certainly wasn't giving nun 😅
For her own sake, I hope that's not the path she chose.
Carolyn: *laying there, repeating the traumatic events in her mind, still seeing the man in the ski mask when she closes her eyes, hoping a search party will turn up any moment to rescue them from the torment and horror, so she can be safe at home with her family, who, she knows will be desperate to find them*
Julian: "Wanna have sex??"
Exactly 🤣
She also probably doesn’t have any energy for that too with being tied up and losing circulation in her wrists and her ankles.
Its not funny but it's funny
I feel guilty for laughing at this😂😂
@@ronnieeilert8491 it's more likely that she really thought they were going to die and would rather make it to heaven as a virgin.
So when my mother told me, when I was younger, that some guys will say or do anything to get sex, this is the kind of creep that she was referring to. My heart goes out to this poor girl and no doubt she was very thankful that she didn’t give in to this monster. Hats off to her! Keep him locked up.
I agree with your mother. However, I'm not 100% convinced that this case was only about getting some. Anyone who goes through such an elaborate deception like that and tackles, hogties, kidnaps, starves, dehydrates, burns and exhausts someone else is on a power trip. I think it was all about power for him. The man is a psychopath.
@@WorthlessDeadEnd he absolutely is a psychopath
@@WorthlessDeadEnd You’re absolutely right about this. All of his preplanning, along with his cruelty to the woman he was planning on marrying is staggering. I agree with you that this went far beyond going to extremes to ‘get some’. The betrayal and trauma he inflicted on this young woman is something that will likely take her a very long time to recover from. I remain thankful for her, that she maintained true to her beliefs and did not allow him to wear her down. She is an exceptional person and I wish her and her family all the best.
Your mother is a smart woman! I so glad the girl did save herself for marriage even after that. I can only hope he lost his virginity against his will in prison!
I'm a man and understand how active our libido can be, but this guy is insane. Clearly has some screws loose because who in their right mind thinks this is ok? Definitely not a person someone should marry. If he was capable of doing this now, who knows what else he'd do once married. Had the poor woman fearing for her life for a whole week.
Well done Carolyn respect to you for your strong faith
Look at the smirk on his face at the end in the final picture
He doesn’t care about what he did
That poor girl, I hope she is ok
Imagine staging that whole thing just because you couldn't "hold it in" any longer lol
This whole story went from suspense to hilarious
Yeah and then not having sex with her ever when he couldve waited and probably had kids with her by now
homie was down T R E M E N D O U S
Dude should have just asked to marry sooner, and told her how he felt. People are nuts >.>
From suspense to nonsense!
It's not hilarious when it happens to you.
One of the little things I really appreciate is that you mark photos as "real picture" or "NOT the real photo". A lot of other channels do not do this and it leaves me confused when I see an image as to whether I am looking at the real thing or just some stock image related to the topic. Well done.

That is the most bizarre and convoluted plan to get laid I've ever heard. I hope that guy got some major psychological help during his time in jail.
Yeah, and it would have been rape too. What a disgusting person he is.

@@Laylastorm1 does that even count? 🤣🤣🤣🙈🙈🙈
That's one of the things religion does to people
@@Laylastorm1 🤣🤣🤣 you stole my comment. Very good comment. 👍🏼
Aussie note: Churchill and Budgeree are in Victoria. I think you said the south of Australia (which is technically true) but because we have a state called South Australia it’s a bit confusing… also some people don’t realise that Australia is freaking huge, roughly the size of the US, so mistaking two small south-eastern Victoria towns for South Australia is like a 1,000-2,000 km difference!
Also the the south of Australia in general spans about 4,000km and would take about 5-6 days to drive across. It’s a very large generalisation.
Also on a side note, my godmother is a Carolyn from Churchill! Not THE Carolyn, but another Carolyn lols. My mum grew up in a small town called Morwell, which is about 15mins from Churchill, but in the opposite direction from Budgeree. It legit had no idea this happened so close to my family 😅
I was suspicious the minute I heard the story about getting snuck up on at roadkill. That type of diversion trap might work well in a Friday The 13th flick, but it could never work in reality.
We are very perceptive creatures to the point where we perceive things with our subconscious part of our brain that our conscious brain can't actively process it.
That's called our gut feeling.
It’s actually very possible but a very suspect DT 💯

@Legend Killer Unfortunately RUclips couldn't care even if you paid them.
For anyone wondering why people check roadkill here in Australia, it's because a lot our native animals (kangaroos, wombats, etc.) carry their young in their pouches. Whenever you see roadkill, you should stop to see if their young is still alive so that it can be rescued and taken to people who take care of orphaned wildlife. If there are no young in the pouch, you should spray paint an 'X' on the carcass (a lot of us carry spray paint for this purpose). Stopping to check roadkill in Australia isn't a weird thing to do, in fact it is encouraged. Edit: Holy moly I cannot believe how many likes this has - thanks everyone!
In the states we , well some of us, stop and check opossums for young since usually the mothers body cushions the hit enough to keep them unharmed. However.. if someone does not check for babies, they slowly starve to death or end up getting run over as well. I wish everyone would take the moment to check on any animal they may have hit.. sadly many make a damn game out of it and look at animals as less deserving then a homosapian.
thanks for the info bro/sis
oh, i just thought julian was a really normal guy who likes checking out interesting roadkill and orchestrating the kidnapping of himself and his fiance.
You can't do that everywhere some roads have so many dead roos you'd be there all day checking pouches lol.
Very true. My sister and I had to haul a very large, very freshly dead wombat off the road two nights ago, and when she initially went to check if there were a baby, she was incredibly relieved to see very distinct testicles. Thank God, but poor thing.
I hate it, and it makes me endlessly furious that there are so many dickheads out there who just drive recklessly and don't give two shits about the animals that are in the area, even when they know it's an area with abundant wildlife.
Mr. Ballen, I think you are my personal obsessional neurosis😃. Every morning I make cappucino, prepare my breakfast and then I want to watch tutorials for the projects I have planned. So I open RUclips and the first thing I see is Mr.Ballen... okay, there's a video for breakfast....after about an hour or two I notice that I've got stuck with you again and that it's over now It's also not worth starting my project anymore....so I'm thinking about how my day should go on with a Mr. Ballen video... when I look at the clock again, it's time for supper and because I've been up all day anyway looking at Mr. Ballen I just keep going until I fall asleep...so Mr. Ballen you are ruining my life 😃😃

Man i watched so many of your videos that I start over again watching old videos without knowing that I watched them before and I enjoy them again haha
I’m so glad that Julian actually listened to her no’s. I’m honestly surprised he did but for her sake i’m so glad she came out of this relatively unharmed
As awful as this is, I actually thought for a moment that he was going to assault her but hiding behind his kidnapper disguise. That it didn't play out that way is one positive aspect but I can't imagine how much fear Carolyn went through, binded, bundled into a car boot then having to watch someone dig a hole in the middle of a forest. I would have been terrified and expecting to be killed. Then another week of torture "escaping" the supposed kidnapper. Only to discover it was her fiance. The amount of issues that could cause in her future, in relationships, trust issues, PTSD. All because Julian couldn't wait to have sex.
For real. As much of a monster as he is, a piece of shit for doing this- at least he wasn’t a rapist.
You’re right, it is good that he respected her decision.
I'm glad she physically was unharmed. However, I can't even imagine the emotional trauma she endured. I truly hope she's alright.
I have been down bad before, but at least I can say I have never been down this bad lol

Somehow I doubt it... but it definitely ranks
You mean to rape a woman. Even if she had agreed to the sex, it would not have been consensual as it would have been under extreme duress. She never would have consented in any circumstance. He did all this to try to rape her in a way that felt like consent to him.

I have to believe that at some level, she suspected it was him the whole time, and just played along because she didn't know what he'd do if he found out she knew. Also, he used his own backpacks and camping gear? And why the hell would he think she'd be "in the mood" when she thinks they're lost in the woods and she's afraid for their lives, bug-bitten, sunburned, filthy, traumatized and exhausted? That's more than normal stupidity, there's something wrong with his brain.
Yep, he got a lot of religion education but didnt know literally any about women
I feel like that's hyper religious education for you
Watched too many movies, I think. Carolyn must have had that water
I was thinking about this. If I knew someone really well (especially a partner) and they kidnapped me I feel like I would know it was them even if they were dressed all in black. You would just be able to tell by their mannerisms, movement, smell, size, breathing etc etc etc.

As an Australian that lives near those towns, I can confirm nobody goes out to look at roadkill. Worked it out from the beginning 😂
hahaha, I kept thinking what's with this dude and his fascination with road kill
I used to check trash bags (and any other bags suit case) when I was young. My father used to tell me ur gonna find a dead body one day. Almost found one under a bridge. A friend went missing and I wanted to look for her. I would have found her under the 1st bridge but my husband said ,"I'm sure the police looked under all the surrounding bridges. A month later she was found at exact place. Her killer was never found. Nothing but mostly bones the time they found her due to the element's.
Also, it takes alot to make you unconscious, even if you do... You'll get brain damage...
Was wondering why he was acting like nothing happened after he got unconscious
@@annalisa4558 That's awful!! But probably best you didn't find her, it would've been so traumatizing. I wonder why the cops hadn't checked sooner.
West Aussie here, we usually stop for big road kill or fresh road kill, especially Kangaroos to check if there are any joey's.
Sometimes the animals have babies around, need to be moved of the road, or the animal may not be dead. If it's big, other then wild boar, goats, wild dogs, horses or cattle/bulls, we don't have many big wild animals here, so it would stop us to see what the heck it was😂🤣
As soon as I heard that he magically ran in the right direction to find her, I knew something was off.
The being left there could of been some sick game, the knife could of fallen and forgotten about.
But in a forest, and you just happen to run into the right direction. That out up red flags.
Also the fact that… where was he as she was being transported in the trunk.
The knife could HAVE fallen, certainly. And this could HAVE been some sick game.

Honestly i am not someone who thinks that Virginity etc etc is much a do about nothing. But in this case i can say i agree with you. The fact she probably has been left with trauma after this. She is also very lucky she didn't end up being raped by the freak. Worse still as unlikely to be on any sort of protection. Pregnant
She sounds like a gem
Love that
suddenly I don't feel so bad about being in the minority. Just think of all those moldt c**ks I've missed out on, and avoiding being tied to an actual c**k! 😄😁
This was an ending to the story I never would have imagined. The fear Carolynne must have felt the entire time, the relief of making it out ok only to find out that it was her boyfriend who orchestrated it all. What a range of intense emotions she went through. The agony the families went though when they were missing is sad.
smh exactly omg. i feel for her.. she had to go thru this just because she didn't want to sleep with him. it really scary for women out here
I knew something was suspicious when he claimed to have been knocked out by a blow to the head; that is a Hollywood trope. The roadkill premise also sounded like something a teenager would concoct. Although I didn’t guess the actual ending, the fact that there was a sleeping bag left out made me think that they were being pressured to have sex as an initiation, or that Julian was involved behind-the-scenes. I guess when you live in such isolation without any release, your mind can create some elaborate plots.

@@Zoroaster4 in highlight and in a non life threatening situation just listening to the storry, I realized the moment he said "he's wearing a baklava and he pointed to the shovel" that the "mystery man" didn't want to show his face of voice in fear of being easily recognizable, knowing that most of the crimes are committed by somebody that you know... it was not so very obvious that he was the masked man, playing the hero.
Then they find a sleeping bag, food, tools...
this is not a hunger game! HE DID IT!
a psychopath serial killer wouldn't give two fucks if you saw their face or heard them speaking... you're dead anyway.
Like that maniac in Alaska that loved hunting people, he was playing real life hunger games, and that is why this is so scary, because the boyfriend was stupid as fuck, but some people are actually that sick as to toy with their victims.

Poor Caroline. Going through such a traumatic ordeal, and then finding out it was orchestrated by the guy who you loved/planned to marry on top of that. This one is really disgusting to me, especially considering she was just a teenager.
Carolyn: "Oh god, we are really being hunted around the wilderness out here? This is so terrifying and traumatic."
Julian: "Yeah sure. Anyway, want som fucc"
I shouldn't laugh... No wonder the kidnapper "suddenly left her alone" when she started praying. LOL! Dang, this is wild.

"It was said that Julian can be heard humming an out-of-tune melody of Can You Feel The Love Tonight while the two were trying to escape from the forest..."
It's so scary, I really believe p in v would solve this
The second we heard julian wanted to see this roadkill sooo badly that he was willing to get out and walk to go see it i knew he was in on whatever was about to happen. It's already weird asf to be that intrigued with a dead carcass on the road, its another level of weird to be so intrigued that you stop your vehicle, get out, and walk down the road to see if you drove by it when you could have easily just turned the car around.
This makes me absolutely sick for Caroline. Idk how anyone would come back from manipulation and betrayal like that. I hope she is doing well.
Imagine how she'd feel if she actually gave it up.

@@esme765 yeah I don't disagree. My comment was more in regards to how I know I would feel if I ultimately chose to acquiesce to his intentions, satisfying his malevolent plan. No judgment one way or the other on what the actual objective was, in this case, to have sex. Just that by doing so his objective behind his deceit was ultimately accomplished by the consummation. For that, I would feel outraged & appalled, even more so.

I mean, I wish she wouldn't have had to b traumatized by him putting her through this ordeal, but at least his plan ultimately didn't work. He gets the punishment with no "reward".
& even though he technically could've r*ped her, I don't think he thought of ever doing that. He still wanted to uphold the false image of being a better person than he actually was. Trying to b her knight in shining armor who rescued the damsel in distress & then, in his mind, receive her payment of gratitude for his efforts. Straight up psycho!
I feel terrible for that poor girl. Not only did she get traumatized, starved, and essentially tortured for 7 days... she lost the person she loved and thought she was going to marry. Turns out that person did not really exist.
This is beyond stupid teenage boy behavior. This could have turned into much darker behavior down the road.

Dammit... why do I read the comments whilst listening...
Not comparable to "stupid teenage boy behavior". He only thinks of himself and shows zero empathy. He is a psychopath and the only thing darker than this is murder or enslavement.
My channel covers true crime and we covered Kari Swenson's case. she was kidnapped by a father son duo up in the mountains because the husband needed a "Mountain Bride". It's such a wild story but how the media handled it (it happened in the 70s) really annoyed me because they were trying to romanticize it.
Great story teller I don’t even have to watch TV lol , feel like I lived a few lives the way you tell these stories hope ur doing good and still giving us these great stories bro .
It's wild this dude had enough resolve to endure the Australian wilderness completely naked baking in the sun and freezing at night but not enough to wait just a year to get laid..
Kudos to her for still staying strong and refusing him even after being traumatized beyond belief.
As an Indian viewer, when I saw his "Indian passport" and his photo I was laughing like a madman. How could the Australian authorities fall for this? Wth?.
Seriously dude... How the fuck can anyone think that's real🤣
He's obviously a hick. Confused Native American "Indians" with actual Indian people.
You don't need to be Indian to see that. What a joke.
Looked more like someone dialled the tan to 100 in a Far Cry 5 character customizer. Jesus bahut marenge isko
@@Org80 Exactly...
Current will take you to bells canyon😭😭😭 I have seen too many of your videos. Just like that guy in the woods who got followed by the guy who wanted directions to bells canyon. I love this channel
This dude literally thought his girl would get hot and horny from being stalked by a killer. That's definitely a new low.
I would like to take this time to Let everyone know that besides being an Incredible Story Teller, Jon Ballen helps many Veterans transition into the Workforce, I recently found this out in an interview with another Navy Seal.
This Young Man is Incredible and a blessing to our Nation(& World).
Thanks for sharing that!
mr ballen should pin this! he should be proud of himself!
He never brags about that either, which makes him even more awesome
🇺🇸🙌
@@MrBallen you’re the goat man 🇺🇸🇺🇸
The fact that he wanted to have sex while they were being "abducted" was a pretty good giveaway. If he REALLY felt in danger for his life; he wouldn't have been able to put his guard down, so sex would definitely be off the table. Women are, usually, not aroused by imminent or potential death; They want to feel protected.
i lost ghosts
Are men usually aroused by that sort of thing? Like is it normal for that to happen or is this guy just a fucking weirdo?
Never know coulda been the boyfriend...🤣🤙
I think he watched too many scary movies 😂😂😂
Depends on the person there are people out there that if there on the run from whatever after a couple days they usually let the guard down and if they are a couple would have sex and ya in immediate danger then no but after no signs of the attacker after a few days there guards would most deff be down enough to have sex I’m sure the women felt safe after a few days but she stuck to her morales and props to her for that
I’m laughing my a** off with the Current ad. “They’ll even give you directions to Bells Canyon”!!!! I’m screaming 😂
MrBallen could make a channel entitled “The routine, mundane, and uneventful delivered in story format,” and it would be a hit.
Didn't some guy in Texas stage his own kidnapping in front of his wife in like 2013 so he could go out drinking with his friends all night? This kid had it completely the wrong way around!
Yes, that's happened many times, in many places
So did a woman in Texas named Sherri she faked her kidnapping she was married with kids.. all because she wanted to screw her ex boyfriend hahaha and her husband went on national TV crying and begging for her safe return they even raised 100 k so whoever had her will send her back.
Dang 🤣 🤣 🤣
Hey some men need to grow some balls for real !!!
I do know that you're supposed to respect your wife or significant other, but if you're that afraid of your partner then maybe this isn't the right relationship for you or get some serious help, one or the other?
@@maramarxx2431 Ain't nothing as bad as the wrath of ole wifey huh?
That's crazy and when you're at that point in your marriage or relationship, where you'd rather do something so outrageous than tell your partner you're just trying to go out for a drink or 2, then maybe being in that relationship isn't the right thing for you?
Get some help or grow a backbone!
🤣
Got stuck working this weekend, but nothing brightens my day more than a fresh strange, dark, and mysterious tale delivered in story format! Thanks, Mr. Ballen!
haha
Mi 2
Same ! In the quality lab ... in a daze . Then i got the notification . Made my day ! 😁
Workforce squad represent!
Yeah. Same.😔 And we are short on help now so I'm stuck alone covering three departments. So my lunch break watching these videos is the highlight of my day!
I told a very dear friend of mine about this channel. Unfortunately she had cancer. But during her treatment we would sit together and snuggle in the bed and the laptop and listen to mr. Ballen. It gave her a lot of entertainment. She died listening to him. 😢😢😢. But she was happy listening to mr.ballen and his fantastic stories.
I am an Aussie. That story was great. Onya Mr Ballen!
The fact that he tied her up in such a painful position and left her like that for so many hours just shows how wicked he is. If she hadn’t continued to say no to this weirdo, she might have become pregnant and then she and her child would always be connected to him. Horrifying!
This is how you know God was watching out for her in all of that. She was a rockstar!!! And she’s fully free of that Wack job. Go Caralynne!
@@sha2596 as a God fearing man, this wasn't God. What happened is the natural course of things. She refused, he gave up, and later on when the cops did what should be typically done, find out where evidence leads, it was over.
@@sha2596 i wish you were kidding
@@8MoneyIzmyMission8 You could say God gave her the strength of will to continue to say no to her kidnapper boyfriend throughout their time in the wilderness. This whole story is insane.. This guy was cruel enough to put her through this ordeal but he wasn't going to cross the line and commit rape. Thankfully. Someone should study that guy's brain...
@@sha2596 damn man after hearing a story like this you still manage to involve god in this in a positive manner. for the same count, they both would've died right there and then.
but I guess religious people have excuses for literally every action to have ever existed. there's never any credit given to people who have a strong will or train extremely hard to achieve goals or anything. always crediting god.
I really admire the lady’s faith. Man she went through a lot and I only hope she can lead a wonderful life after all this craziness!
I truly hope she gets all the counselling she could want or need. What a horrifying thing to have to endure.
I was going to go on a tangent about how sad it is that she was a victim for being Christian,as I am, and how scary it is at times yet its often seems to be socially inept sheepish little men who cannot talk to the woman they supposedly love and yet they try to pull off this elaborate yet ridiculous scheme and have no thought about the consequences. SO STRANGE!
@@katherinemeyer6278
Christians are famous for their persecution complex.
It's only surpassed by their victimization of others.
Superstition fails.
She became Catholic and joined a nunnery.
Genuinely. A bad part is some people just use this video to bash Christians and call them all crazy and stuff. Beside my point though I agree what she went through is awful and I hope she is lead to a better person.
I've never made sure to click the like button like I do for Mr Ballen😂
I live In Australia and remember this case very clearly. Thank you for telling this story without leaving out any of the facts. This poor girl was terrified and still suffers from PTSD due to the trauma.
I bet interrogation tapes would be terrifying 😳. I could not imagine going through that for a psychopaths chance at premarital sex SMH

Finally it’s here ,
I was in Australia about 4 mnths ago , Perth to be infact
@@BEEZYS-WORLD australia is one of the best countries, hope you had fun here! perth is amazing.
@dash wtf I clicked this lol.
So I learned 3 things here- the ONA are a thing, if you absolutely have to stage a kidnapping it’s poor form to use restraints that can be provably traced back to you and don’t come up with a ridiculously unbelievable cover story that involves your assailants conveniently leaving you survival and escape equipment whenever and wherever you need it. Oh and flowers and chocolate are more effective seduction tools than sunburn, exhaustion, dehydration, malnutrition, life threatening traumatic experiences and psychological torture.
It's not astro physics is it? A similar crime happened in maybe Sydney in the 90s or something...maybe he saw that and was like
"That guy's a ducking genius, but I'd never get caught if i did that..."
Disclaimer:
I swear, were(Australians)are not like this
yeah, a lot of ONA members are also part of the police and military and use those occupations as a way of committing human sacrifice. most members are also part of white supremacist groups, and they're the only satanic group to believe in ritual sacrifice
Nailed it there buddy 😄 🤣 😂
The world is on the verge of complete chaos and destruction. These days anything u can possibly imagine that is nefarious and disgusting happens in real time every day...
@@piercetheflesh9085 There are murderers in Australia.
Omg!!!!! The twist I was not expecting!!!!
OMG the comment at around 15:43 about "even give you directions to bell canyon" cracked me up. Me and my wife were listening to some of your scary stories last night and that was one of em....😂😂😂😂😂😂
Carolynne is a prime example of strength and bravery. Good for her!! I do hope mentally and emotionally she is ok.
That has got to be the most elaborate plan I have ever heard to get laid. And my god the trust issues she's going to have moving forward. Even if she did dodge a bullet and avoid marrying someone that creepy.
The fact that someone would rather traumatize their girlfriend in such a horrible manner rather than denounce their faith in order to have sex confounds me. He somehow managed to rationalize in his head that his egregious actions were a “lesser sin” than sex outside of wedlock.
Religion is terrifying because it makes people do crazy things.
You're so funny, great stories, great story teller, oh the like button loves me ,😂😂😂✌️
I’m from Australia and remember this case. This crime has not only cost him jail time, he was stripped from his true nationality. he was deported back to Germany soon after serving his time. The parents migrated from Germany in the mid 80’s then after going back to Germany for an extended visit, Julian was born there and returned to Aus when he was only 1yr old. For some reason he never applied for an Australian passport and was only a permanent resident. His siblings are Australians, he Didn’t speak any German, had no German friends, and is as Australian as an emu. According to Australian laws, you get deported even though you have permanent residency depending on the crime.
Good! He deserved it!
"as Australian as an emu" that line had me cracked and I'm in public 😂
@@gremlinwithgun7527 😂 so Aussie!
Wow, that’s an amazing ending of a prison sentence to be deported like that! LOL!
@@gremlinwithgun7527 I literally saw two wild emus walking around this week. I'm from Victoria in Australia. My friend who was with me called them "bush chooks" ! Lol
I couldn’t help but laugh at the end when after ALL the things that they were going thru, your girl STILL didn’t give it up to him. 😂
🤣🤣🤣
And now he’s in prison for a few years!! He may lose the v plates there. But perhaps not how he was anticipating
I know!!! Lol
What a queen 👑
It’s was hilarious 😂🤣😂🤣😂
He looks so self-satisfied in those photos. I hope she finds peace; she dodged one helluva bullet there, though *her* parents should've been wary of a 25 year old trying to hook up with their 17 year old daughter.
Honestly nothing ever happens in Australia so when I saw this when it first came out I pressed on it immediately. Watching it now a year later Im still surprised in how pathetic the reason for the kidnapping was.
Yet another situation where rubbing one out beforehand would have provided enough clarity to make a better decision. What an absolutely insane story!
But that's a sin. Kidnapping isn't apparently.
@@JarinCOD I don't think he would care about that if he he was planning to have premarital intercourse
Proud of her saying no and not thinking "oh we are probably gonna die might as well do it before we die"
Post-nut clarity is a powerful mental aid.
@@uremawifenowdave I never have it.
@@JarinCOD my condolences
The entire time I was listening to this story I could not believe that someone would stop to look at roadkill. Then I wondered who in the world would use roadkill as bait to kidnap someone.
Stopping for kangaroo roadkill is common. Many young have been rescued from pouches of dead females.
There’s always a chance that the animal is still alive and can be rescued, so it’s actually plausible someone would stop for a roadkill.
Free meat
I was thinking this as well. Who wants to see road kill???😂😂 but I didn’t consider the baby kangaroo being alive in the pouch.
Shows how warped his mind was. Imagine if she had married him before she found out what a sicko he is.Ughhh!!!🤮Thank god she got through it and how she refused his sex advances. Good job lady!!🏴👍🌎🇺🇸
It’s like the story of the guy who setup the girl’s kidnapping and his health problems made him sleep on it and she died in the trunk like what goes through these guys’ minds to play hero to get some? Makes me want to be a nun.
Live in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere ... yeah, makes sense that you'd go insane.
That being said, I feel sorry for Caroline who having to endure such a traumatic experience.
I can not fathom the amount of betrayal and trauma Carolyn went through AFTER all that when she finds out it was Julian the whole time... and all for sex. My gosh. I'm so glad Carolyn refused that monster.
All that to get laid...and she said...no?
Man, i can only imagine that feeling of betrayal that girl went through..
Could you imagine someone who trusted so much doing something like this to you?
Absolutely horrible.
Religious induced insanity.
Right?! I couldn't believe what I was hearing
So, did she marry him?😏
@@kica4396 I think he left her at the alter 🤣 was preoccupied in a prison cell 🤣🤣🤣
@Ying Filltling maybe, maybe not - feel like the trauma of being stalked by a potential murderer is traumatic enough- to know your partner set it up tho, whole other ball game
