I mean, think about it. no matter what way they went with this, accidental drownings were prolly the one title that wouldn't make them seem hated. Accidental drowning doesn't sound as bad as an unsolved murder so it's kind of not terrible thinking if they wanted to keep things more chill.
A few years ago, my nephew was found at the bottom of a 33’ cliff. He lay there on the pavement all night long. A policeman found him early in the morning, barely alive. He survived but will never be the same. He went to a bar with friends, the friends said he just up and left without saying anything. He doesn’t remember anything after a few minutes in the bar. Police said he walked off the cliff, but we think he was pushed. We call him Superman now or Clark when he wears his glasses. I’m glad he survived!
*burns on his hands* Coroner: Must have been a drowning. *eyes removed* Coroner: Hypothermia, obviously. *body cut into 32 pieces, sealed in a garbage bag and buried in the forest* Coroner: Looks like a suicide.
About 11 years ago my stepbrother left a party. He was walking a path very well known to him to get to his cousin's. Along the walk he called his cousin then his mom. Then was never heard from again. Weeks later he was found in a small pond with head wounds. He was very tall and athletic and for as long as I knew him (his whole life) he would've never drowned in a such a small body of water even if he was completely wasted. But, it was figured that he climbed a fence, landed on his head from falling then stumbled into the pond. I've always doubted that. Never really wanted to go back to where he was found. But a lot of this adds up and makes me question things a bit more.
Holy shit, I feel bad for you. But from your description, it is a bit weird. If he died from the head wounds, I'd understand the cause of death with more detail (e.g. what were the head wounds? marks from the fall?). If he died from lack of oxygen, I'd definitely have a few problems with the given reason of death (given your description).
my father actually lived dangerously close to one of these smiley face murders. since i learned that ive become pretty fascinated by these specific killings. this is probably one of the most detailed and interesting videos ive seen on it. fantastic work
Thank you for this. I had a friend who was speculated to be a victim of the smiley face killer and he didn't get as much attention. He went missing in downtown Pittsburgh a few years before Dakota james and he wasn't found for 4 years. It made my heart hurt. I wasn't super close to him but he was there for me at a crucial time. I had just gotten out of an abusive relationship and I was living with my friend (his cousin). The first time I met him he asked me for my favorite colors and made me a bracelet with them. One night we sat and walked for 3 or 4 hours about every bad thing that had happened in our lives. He opened up about his darkest experiences and made me feel less alone. I was shutting myself off from the world, from emotions and he gave me someone to open up to. He showed me how important loving and caring about one another is. I owe him so much for that, he was so special. I wish I had a chance to know him better but I'll forever be grateful. I regret not telling him how much it meant to me but at least I can make sure he's not forgotten. RIP Jake. You deserved so much better than what you got.
@Fella Caligula it’s not that simple. the other partner could be manipulating them, physically or mentally. your comment is just insensitive and stupid.
Chris Jenkins' drowning in Minneapolis was classified by armchair investigators as a smiley face murder. He was also found in an unnatural position (on his back floating in the water with his arms crossed on his chest), his sandals were still on his feet, and the bruises he had from lacrosse when he disappeared had healed. Cops had originally said he accidentally drowned, having fallen off the Hennepin bridge Halloween night. However there was evidence of his entering a parking garage and getting in a vehicle. The cops had to reclassify his death as a homicide. I've always been fascinated by his case, it's tragic. From the research I've done, smiley face killer or not, there are just too many college age athletic men drowning in big cities like this and many of those deaths are suspicious like Chris's.
You'd be surprised how frequent this happens, even in small european countries, wherever there is a campus + river close by, every so often somebody drowns.
david paulides book missing 411 "sobering coincidence" is all about these type of dissaperances / murders. although he claims it's NOT smiley face killers
"The victims are males, white, and are in college" Me: I have to skip college I guess. "They are also athletic, intelligent, and also somewhat popular" Me: Phew, thought I was going to become a potential victim. (Edit: Oh crap, because people try to take advantage of me being smart, I am somewhat popular. I need to never join any sports clubs or something.)
I live on the Southside of Pittsburgh. Not long after this happened, I arrived at work at 7:30 in the morning and I saw a young man wandering around the street without a coat or shoes (this was during winter). I asked him if he was okay, and he told me that he had been out drinking with friends the night before, but he didn't remember how he was separated from them. He said he had woken up in an unfamiliar room on the second floor of a seemingly uninhabited building. He said that the room was empty aside from a mattress on the floor, and his phone and belongings were all gone (aside from a subway giftcard, of all things, which he insisted on giving me as payment for my help). I called him a cab, and I suggested that he call the cops...but I doubt he did. I wish I had asked him for more details, but he was still a little bleary-eyed at the time.
I'm white British, living in Manchester. One night my mate started acting really drunk despite only having a few drinks. I decided to persuade him to go home but first i'd get him some food. On the way I realised he was obviously drugged. As we were walking to maccies, two middle aged men approached us and tried to convince my friend that they would look after him. He was fully convinced they would and told me to grab the maccies and he'd stay with them. I just straight up told him I wouldn't leave him alone with strangers and he wasn't in the right state of mind. The men wouldn't stop following us I had to drag my friend away from them (I'm assuming the drug messed up his sense of judgement). Eventually I basically screamed for them to fuck off and threatenedto call the police. I guess the noise of my shouting must have scared them off cos they just ran off. I still remember that night and sometimes I wonder what woudve hapenned if they would've decided to fight us or if I would've been a bit more drunk and less alert. It really scares me. My friend remembers absolutely nothing, just getting home and having extreme muscle cramps. Manchester actually has a trend of drunk students falling in canals under suspicious circumsrances similar to the smiley face kileer in this vid.
The fact that the police wouldn't admit their mistakes even if it could help in 200+ cases because it could potentially shine a bad light upon them really irritates me
Maybe its because they're involved. In Germany we have a saying "the fish stinks from the head" which means that if something's fishy, often times the higher levels of a company or authority is corrupted or bad.
If that’s the motive, it wouldn’t make sense. Why drown people? It would ruin the organs and would cause decay. Water does that. If they go damp, they’ll also grow fungi and bacteria, so it would be useless.
The fact that the smiley faces are different, say ":)" or "=)" with circles for heads or no heads, shows that it is probably a group committing these crimes. Different artists have their own art style, and so do these guys..
Yeah but it’s a smiley face. Even if all these guys are being murdered it’s just weird to connect a graffiti as common as a smiley face to them. That’s gonna be hard to prove.
1 of the killers put 3 stars above the smiley face next to a body and 2 other young men were found in that area, so that one probably wanted to brag about how much he's killed without being found out..
I also think they're operating from the dark/deep web on some sick killer site.. Maybe heard about some smiley cases and thought they'd make a nationwide organization from it and agreed they wanted to kill young men either out of envy or out of attraction to them.
Can’t believe this guys content is free, I feel like I’m stealing something, he should have a Netflix show. From the editing, info, production, ease of watch, not annoying, right pitch, open unbiased info, clips, images, straight facts….this guy is journalism & entertainment (I know that feels wrong to say entertainment given the context) at its finest.

Me: So there was evidence of drugs in his system? Police: Yup Me: And also there is evidence he was murdered by strangulation? Police: Yup. Me: So this must a murder case? Police: Makes sense to me. Me: Then why is it concluded as an accidental drowning? Police: Well he accidentally fell off the bridge!
You can't prove anything this dude said in the video was true he could of made up all of that in fact this dude probably did because most of these were actually accidents. Life tip: Don't believe everything you see. You're basically trusting a random RUclipsr over a hired hard working Invitatigator.
-Evidence of blunt force trauma -Evidence of being shot in the head -Evidence of of strangulation -FBI: *Im gonna pretend like that was a Accidental Drowning*
My parents were friends with Dakota’s parents. I remember when this happened and I took part in the search party they had looking all over Pittsburgh to try to find him. It’s still very strange how things happened. I appreciate how well you covered the case and others in this video.
Dakota James was my uncle, this tore the family apart for a while, the police refused to help in any way. We’re still convinced to this day that he was murdered. He wasn’t suicidal in any way. Kinda weird that this video ended up in my recommended
Either one, someone of color in that police department is killing people and or group of officers are in on these crime or two. They're in but not entirely just being paid to not look further into them. Either or someone inside is on this shit.
My ex boyfriend died under suspicious circumstances, found under a bridge "accidently drowned", in Portland, OR a few years ago. He was missing for a few weeks before he was found, but had only been in the water for a few days at best. Same circumstances as listed here... Still have no answers...
@@rogerphone481 not that I know of, but I don't think anyone checked. It's Portland, OR so there is tons of graffiti everywhere... imo, these cases have many more important similarities than the graffiti... 🤷♀️ It's totally possible, but probably too late to check. Plus being found in the river, makes it hard to know if he started out, where he ended up... ya know?
@@rogerphone481 thanks! I appreciate it! It's been awhile now, but it was really crazy. We weren't dating at the time, but he was my high school sweetheart... Hopefully someday we can get some closure....
y'know the reason that the police labels it as drowning is because it's much easier and cheaper to label it as drowning, instead of investigating an entire serial killer ring
@Gamer Girl Exactly. There is corruption in the police force that lots of people fail to/don’t want to acknowledge. Obviously there are very good police officers who do their job extremely well, but there seems to not be all that many of them.
The condition of the body(ies) is why I give this theory any validity. I've seen corpses pulled from water, they are in bad shape within a very short time. A body decomposing for a week in water is usually completely unidentifiable... you can't even tell race or gender sometimes (until an autopsy is done). In 40 days, there's probably very little left of the remains.
I feel like whoever is behind this is manipulating the police. There's literally no way they can look at some of these cases and be like; "Yep, he shoulda taken swimming classes"
I mean, this could be a collection of very similar cases that are unrelated, but due to the method of murder used in these cases leaving basically no evidence behind the police had to close them as "accidental drowning". And the smiley face is just coincidence. I honestly would be willing to bet that if you excluded the only athletic young smart popular white guy parts the case count would skyrocket.
@@rudytabooty8640 The cops are playing smart by not giving too much attention to the killers. That's why they're saying it's accidents. They are most likely trying to find out who the group(s) of killers are, but they don't want to give them fame and stir up anything.
It's actually disturbing and disgusting what the law enforcement keeps out of the local media. I know, for a fact, where I live at, our police department makes sure certain stories are kept out of our papers. Not only that, but we really don't know how bad things are in our city......
And, taking this into account, you have considered that local law enforcement may want to obscure relevant cases from media applications to prevent the spread of panic, potentially giving the killers what they want, or something else, yes?
@@nylex3323 It's illegal to silence the media, even though governments (City, state, and country) do it all the time. Not only is this sometimes bad, it's dangerous, putting people at risk. It creates victims and nobody is on guard. A double edge sword can be argued, sure. But, it can also be argued that a "panic" is always going to be inevitable. What isn't, is that if it's kept from the public, faith in media and law enforcement is lost.....
@@awkwardllama0509 me too, police are government rats, equivalent of scum, they wont help you even if it costs there jobs, actually makes me wanna throw up 😐 I'm getting strapped, permit, bruh these people mad crazy rn, jus bc of a lil virus, n planned racism, just to make racism apparent, focus of inflating economy, they use us for there own benefit, not that it isnt obvious, fuck bro it all sucks, we gotta protect ourselves during these exaggerated moments of tension. We the people, are the foundations, If we attack each other, civil war, we all fall down, military control. prolly what they want lmao, there so dirty I hate it so much
i rarely ever get disturbed, but this is one of those videos that actually did get on the limited list of "disturbing". just, the fact how there's an organization killing the type of person im going to be in like 4 years, and the police being unable to stop it, is both terrifying and dystopian. also, the 2 factors you mentioned holding the theory back seem rather insignificant. what's the big deal if a smiley face didnt ACTUALLY relate to the crime scene? theres so much more evidence of murder other than that. plus, they could very well have a motive, but it's secret. hell, like you said, maybe they just do it for fun. you need more viewers though, your stuff is criminally underrated.
as someone born, raised, and still living in pittsburgh there is no way to fall off that bridge, and just recently we had another suspected murder possibly linked to the smiley face killer here in December.
dude in my childhood city there were these smiley faces drawn outside of peoples homes and sometimes it was smiley faces(☺) or sad ones (☹) and we later learnt that these graffiti were from some sort of like burglars that robbed houses. So same I won't ever look at these things the same
Reasons why the police wouldn't say anything and it isn't a cover up: -They didn't want to cause panic/fear -They don't want to give the killers what they want, publicity -they don't have any suspects -they are actually working on it but don't want to give that away to keep the element of surprise on the killers
Also the smiley face murders could just be individual people copying the motif and not even a group. If the police released info on this even more people will join in because people have bad humor and like to meme.
Some of these cases might be connected with each other, but the smiley face seems like an arbitrary through line. It's probably the most common graffiti and graffitis are often found under bridges, which means they are close to water and drownings by necessity. The fact that the smiley faces look so different also means that it's not some cult or organizational symbol. At best it could be some distorted meme between serial killers, but I doubt it. It seems more like a way to draw attention to these cases than an actual credible theory. Aside from that, looking at the druggings happening in some of these cases, it's possible that there are malicious gangs of people out there spiking drinks and leading the victims into their vans. They could then make the victims transfer funds (as you mentioned with that one case) and dump them in the waterways in order to make it look like a drunken drowning. This is obviously just conjecture though. Whether the police are dismissing these cases due to negligence, not wanting to cause a panic, powerful people being involved or something else entirely is anyone's guess. Maybe the more mysterious cases can some day be solved, but I highly doubt every one of these tragedies falls under the same umbrella. Believing that they all must be connected could harm seeking the truth.
Well said; I totally agree. The smiley face graffiti is tenuous at best as evidence and far from the best clues that many of these cases are probably murders. Hyping up the graffiti angle just gave the mainstream media and police an easy way out by centering the whole discussion on the graffiti and acting as if the tenuousness of that aspect negates any possibility of foul play. I don’t believe the local police are involved in any real way, but they have many reasons not to want to call so many cases murders when they could plausibly be passed off as tragic accidents. And then it’s quite possible too that the FBI or a similar group is basically coaching these local police and strongly advising (read: demanding) that they ignore and ridicule any claim of foul play. So far, the mainstream media and LE strategy has worked out quite well for the presumed killers.
I live in Pittsburgh and they are in fact related. This is a wildly ignorant comment. You mean to tell me so many people died in the exact same manor? That disappeared from the exact same bar? Found the exact same way? With the exact same smiley face drawn is coincidental? Come on dude.
Been hooked on this channel recently! I do research on this sort of stuff for documentaries as well and this channel is an amazing entry to the genre, is substance and style. HOWEVER, I have been going through the archive and haven't seen you cover the Sons of Sam conspiracy related to a network of human trafficking, sn*ff film production, and serial killers. Seems to be in the same league as the alleged Smiley Face killers, Interstate system killings/missing persons, missing 411, etc. I recommend starting with the Sons of Sam documentary, then the book it's based on, and from there many leads emerge.
This keeps happening to young men in chicago more recently too, another one just found a couple days ago in the lake...went missing after leaving a party at night.

The vibes I'm getting from this is that they're trying to make the crimes as natural as possible, using the most commonly used graffiti to make it seem less likely. Also, the dude had strangulation marks, how tf do the police think "Oh yeah he drowned, nothing else"
A young polish man was found in the Chicago river this week after going missing from a bar in a neighborhood called River North. It is dejavu for us here because just over a year ago, another young man was pulled from the river after going missing from a bar… in River North. I’m sure it’ll be treated as pure coincidence.
Another potential victim: Peter Salvino in Chicago. Only 1-2 weeks after Krzysztof (polish man') was found. They are currently reporting a body has been found in the last known location to his cell ping but not yet confirming the ID of victim. Also left coming home from a party.
I was actually just about to post about this. It is horrifying and aggravating that local police aren’t publicly admitting what we all know to be true. These families deserve answers.
If someone wanted to kill someone and get away with it easily, they could do it similarly, and then just put a smiley face somewhere near it. That's probably happened multiple times, imo
There’s LITERALLY so much evidence against the claim that it’s an “accidental drowning”, and yet the authorities STILL claim that it was an accident. Smh.

He said he had woken up in an unfamiliar room on the second floor of a seemingly uninhabited building. He said that the room was empty aside from a mattress on the floor, and his phone and belongings were all gone (aside from a subway giftcard, of all things, which he insisted on giving me as payment for my help).
I called him a cab, and I suggested that he call the cops...but I doubt he did.
I wish I had asked him for more details, but he was still a little bleary-eyed at the time.
I'm white British, living in Manchester. One night my mate started acting really drunk despite only having a few drinks. I decided to persuade him to go home but first i'd get him some food. On the way I realised he was obviously drugged. As we were walking to maccies, two middle aged men approached us and tried to convince my friend that they would look after him. He was fully convinced they would and told me to grab the maccies and he'd stay with them. I just straight up told him I wouldn't leave him alone with strangers and he wasn't in the right state of mind. The men wouldn't stop following us I had to drag my friend away from them (I'm assuming the drug messed up his sense of judgement). Eventually I basically screamed for them to fuck off and threatenedto call the police. I guess the noise of my shouting must have scared them off cos they just ran off. I still remember that night and sometimes I wonder what woudve hapenned if they would've decided to fight us or if I would've been a bit more drunk and less alert. It really scares me. My friend remembers absolutely nothing, just getting home and having extreme muscle cramps.
Manchester actually has a trend of drunk students falling in canals under suspicious circumsrances similar to the smiley face kileer in this vid.

I haven’t heard this one before, but a probable theory considering they are all white males with similar ages and similarities.
It's possible but they say they have no marks on their body besides signs of being strangled
If that’s the motive, it wouldn’t make sense.
Why drown people? It would ruin the organs and would cause decay. Water does that. If they go damp, they’ll also grow fungi and bacteria, so it would be useless.
@@NickCrowley can you do a video on black market organ trade?
The fact that the smiley faces are different, say ":)" or "=)" with circles for heads or no heads, shows that it is probably a group committing these crimes. Different artists have their own art style, and so do these guys..
=)
That’s actually rly smart damn
Yeah but it’s a smiley face. Even if all these guys are being murdered it’s just weird to connect a graffiti as common as a smiley face to them. That’s gonna be hard to prove.
1 of the killers put 3 stars above the smiley face next to a body and 2 other young men were found in that area, so that one probably wanted to brag about how much he's killed without being found out..
I also think they're operating from the dark/deep web on some sick killer site.. Maybe heard about some smiley cases and thought they'd make a nationwide organization from it and agreed they wanted to kill young men either out of envy or out of attraction to them.

The condition of the body(ies) is why I give this theory any validity. I've seen corpses pulled from water, they are in bad shape within a very short time. A body decomposing for a week in water is usually completely unidentifiable... you can't even tell race or gender sometimes (until an autopsy is done). In 40 days, there's probably very little left of the remains.
I feel like whoever is behind this is manipulating the police. There's literally no way they can look at some of these cases and be like; "Yep, he shoulda taken swimming classes"

I mean, this could be a collection of very similar cases that are unrelated, but due to the method of murder used in these cases leaving basically no evidence behind the police had to close them as "accidental drowning". And the smiley face is just coincidence. I honestly would be willing to bet that if you excluded the only athletic young smart popular white guy parts the case count would skyrocket.

It's actually disturbing and disgusting what the law enforcement keeps out of the local media. I know, for a fact, where I live at, our police department makes sure certain stories are kept out of our papers. Not only that, but we really don't know how bad things are in our city......
And, taking this into account, you have considered that local law enforcement may want to obscure relevant cases from media applications to prevent the spread of panic, potentially giving the killers what they want, or something else, yes?
@@nylex3323 It's illegal to silence the media, even though governments (City, state, and country) do it all the time. Not only is this sometimes bad, it's dangerous, putting people at risk.

-they don't have any suspects

Some of these cases might be connected with each other, but the smiley face seems like an arbitrary through line. It's probably the most common graffiti and graffitis are often found under bridges, which means they are close to water and drownings by necessity. The fact that the smiley faces look so different also means that it's not some cult or organizational symbol. At best it could be some distorted meme between serial killers, but I doubt it. It seems more like a way to draw attention to these cases than an actual credible theory.
Aside from that, looking at the druggings happening in some of these cases, it's possible that there are malicious gangs of people out there spiking drinks and leading the victims into their vans. They could then make the victims transfer funds (as you mentioned with that one case) and dump them in the waterways in order to make it look like a drunken drowning. This is obviously just conjecture though.
Whether the police are dismissing these cases due to negligence, not wanting to cause a panic, powerful people being involved or something else entirely is anyone's guess. Maybe the more mysterious cases can some day be solved, but I highly doubt every one of these tragedies falls under the same umbrella. Believing that they all must be connected could harm seeking the truth.
Well said; I totally agree. The smiley face graffiti is tenuous at best as evidence and far from the best clues that many of these cases are probably murders. Hyping up the graffiti angle just gave the mainstream media and police an easy way out by centering the whole discussion on the graffiti and acting as if the tenuousness of that aspect negates any possibility of foul play. I don’t believe the local police are involved in any real way, but they have many reasons not to want to call so many cases murders when they could plausibly be passed off as tragic accidents. And then it’s quite possible too that the FBI or a similar group is basically coaching these local police and strongly advising (read: demanding) that they ignore and ridicule any claim of foul play. So far, the mainstream media and LE strategy has worked out quite well for the presumed killers.
Maybe they just look for place where a smiley face is and then they kill them there 🤷♂️

And there is an actual "insane amont" of case of police cover ups: ruclips.net/video/2eqHSQcQ8rY/видео.html
Telmo Moreira no I do reserve the right to call him ignorant. Watching a video that WANTS you to believe the theory will make you so
@@nota4688 No, because is an offensive word and ofcourse the op has bias and im not saying that he did cut some facts of.....
But tell me why you think, they weren´t killed?
Telmo Moreira because this happens often. Also, one of the detectives has been outed by many of the victims families because of how fraudulent and dishonest he was to them
The fact that this went unsolved even now still terrifies me
Personally I think it’s probably a cartel or something like that. I mean, what other types of organizations can corrupt police departments like this to not report it?
-Strangled-
Police: Yep, this guy drowned accidentally.
I hate repeating myself To sum up anything I'mma say your trusting a RUclipsr over a hired hard working Invitatigator. Don't trust everything you see because most of these were actually accidents. This dude could of said "clear stab marks yet they say accident" and you'd believe. Sad people have to be told not to trust everything they see.
@@abandonedchannelwithnovide788 sad that you choose too complain and act like you're smarter to everyone else when you're really not
Know pain
Simple, he wanted to become a turtle.
@@abandonedchannelwithnovide788 stfu you nonce
“*Severe injuries that would not be cause by drowning*”
Police: *Drowing to me*
As a Pittsburgher, this is terrifying

My heart stopped when you said the city of pittsburgh. I live there
Same

don't worry it's in 25 separate Citys... maybe more.. but all in the us :/
Aren't there gangs in Pittsburgh ? So why afraid of an smiley murder when you have gang shootings..
@@danh.2270 well yes there are alot of bikers and probably lots of gangs too but i live maybe a half hour away from the city in a shady-as-fucc area so yes, i am also slightly fearful, but so long as i dont cause them trouble im fine.
This guy needs a Netflix show
Agreed
Yass
No

This entire comment section:
Victim: decimated by a martian’s dystopian atomic bomb while in a child-sized paddling pool.
Police: yep. Seems like an accidental drowning.

@@Crinkfries lol yeah maybe one day
Never before have the lyrics of Slasher (from aviators) is true... envy turns us green... except knives probably won’t be involved.
@@darkaheart it might just be a group or a cult trying to get rid of men who are potentially “douches” or maybe they were bullied by people like this. Since they never Got a chance to shoot up a school or college.
Who else feels like they are gonna get murdered while watching this...
