No one should close a cafe, restaurant, gas station or any retail place alone. Ever.
Worked at a a gas station you see meet and see a lot of crazy people.
@@annoyingkid1993 That reminds me of a story I saw where a man killed his pregnant coworker while on a business trip with her and then further abused her corpse. He jumped off a bridge or tried to drown himself failed so he then walked into a gas station sopping wet and asked the cashier to call the police telling her he murdered someone. Anyone who worked at a gas stator more than a few months would barely be surprised.
@@ashgreen3574 I’ve seen the video of this story.
In the 90's there was no leaving a single person to lock up people have gotten dumber
@@whateverisclever730 yes there was people closing up in gas stations in the 90s don't know where I r from but it was routine in the 90s in my state if it wasn't a 24hr place
Man if you’re getting kidnapped and the person tells you that if you try to escape they will kill you, just try to escape and if you die, you die. I’d rather die fighting than die in some basement.
Yes me to I would rather go down in a ball of flames. That said she was a young female, on her own. Quess we never really know how we act until your in that situation, hopefully it's something that never happens.
Amen.
Yes If they're robbing you let them but if they trying to kidnap you run or fight for your life its better because you have more chances to live than being tied up in a small place with nowhere to run.
Facts
yea fr and like there’s even a slight chance they won’t kill u
The fact that this monster had a young daughter is horrible. And then she went on a long trip with him not knowing he’d just murdered someone😞
Rest in Peace Samantha, you’ll always be loved and remembered❤️
I feel bad for his daughter
My wife and I lived in Fairbanks, Alaska when this happened. Our church and several other churches in the area donated money to help find her. This shocked the State and broke so many hearts.
Heartbreaking and sickening. I’m so deeply sorry for what y’all went through. God is good all the time and He is sifting the earth as wheat and eventually all that awfulness will be locked away from His elect, for eternity. Selah. 🔥🙌🏽🫶🏻🔥💝
This is why my dad told me "Never go with them. Even if they have a gun. No matter what. Your odds are safer fighting."
It’s very true fight them where you are if you’re shot and killed or wounded that’s one thing but if you get in the car with them you’re dead 100% dead so you have no chance you have a chance when you’re fighting them in the parking lot before they pull you in their car
yeah absolutely, I've always thought th same thing! Or u could end up hearing " It puts th lotion on its skin or it gets th hose again!" I say th gunshot wound sounds pretty good in comparison! 😅🍻
She tried to get away when he was walking her to his car, and almost did, but he caught and overpowered her.
@@toddhaines4733 That was my reasoning. My grandparents went through a lot of crap; fighting in WWII, lethal car wreck, Vietnam War. I figured if they made it through all that, I have the genes to take a bullet so as long as it's not directly in the vitals.
@@kylecreed2748 It doesn't look like she put up much of a fight. Granted she was scared, but judging by the dude's statement, she had a few opportunities to run away. She also didn't hit the panic button, which would be the first thing I would do.
Active Self Defense always says “NEVER GO TO A SECOND LOCATION, DIE FIGHTING WHERE YOU STAND, BECAUSE DEATH WILL BE WORSE AND SLOWER AT THE SECOND LOCATION•
*unless dealing w/ the cartel
@@hereallyfast if the cartel are involved you may aswell end it there and then
More people need to understand this, it’s not talked about enough
@@eeooooee2234 The cartel will make your death what they want it to be regardless of location. Those guys are on demon time.
PS: No offense, I'm sure some of them are nice people.
that guy is a pudgy fuck that carries all his survival gear including first aid kit and spare batteries and bear mace, just to check his mail box.
There's almost 32,000 comments on this video, so I highly doubt you will ever see mine, but I just want to give you kudos for telling this story from the viewpoint of the victim and not the piece of filth who killed her (and others). That means a lot.
I see your comment if that helps xD
It's the second come t on here
@@devinitschner3471comment*
sorry I had to
I saw your comment too 🌷
We all did and we are all here with you. 🤗
I can't believe how sick some individuals are. Poor girl, may she rest in peace.
From an early age I was taught never to let an abductor take me anywhere. My mom said, "Make him kill you right there, because if he takes you away, a lot worse will happen to you."
Harsh...but realistic...
That's a horrible thing to say to your kids but very true. I'm going to tell mine the same thing because it's true and can save them from much worse.
Sam is one of my best friends niece's, unfortunately my kids went through this story in real life and know the reality of what can happen.
Yeah, my mom was pretty graphic about what could happen, if I let anyone take me anywhere. She Also taught me never to get within grabbing range of a stranger. I thought she was too brutally honest, but now I know she was right. It's a shame mothers have to warn children about the handful of evil people out there. But it's necessary.
@@naromecuas8635 Sounds like what my dad told me. Only difference is that he told me that I should make sure the abductor leaves the murder scene looking at the grave himself.
@@bestoftwoworlds9925
My mother spared me the gory details, but it was great advice.
The security camera was focused on the employee. That tells me that the only thing that owner cared about was if the employees were stealing.
This is pretty unfair. It's just a practical thing to worry about. Over 30% of retail theft is employee shrink. If you have a store where employees are left alone with *your* money for long periods of time, it is foolish to not have a camera present to keep an eye on your money and store. As we saw with this video, pointing a camera at the cash box can help (in theory) if the store gets robbed. They evidently had a camera facing the parking lot outside the coffee shop, as they could see this monster load her into a white pickup truck.
Plus, from how the story was explained here, unless it was just a coincidental timing, it sounds like the owner didn't even immediately report the robbery. It wasn't until police called the store owner that the owner reported their employee vanished and the money was gone. The logical assumption the store owner would have is the employee robbed them before quitting the job and running.
well it is also a small shop and u can see at some parts that that one camera takes up pretty much the whole shop
@@HumanPerson_final so have cameras to protect your precious money from the apparent creeps working for you AND have cameras to protect THEM and the rest of your store from the other 70% of stealers unsupervised in the store
@@thatsokay1701 Cameras aren’t protecting anyone. It looked like a tiny shack with maybe one room and, presumably, a small bathroom. There was a camera facing the parking lot. Not a lot of room for more cameras. Idk why you people seem intent on finding a villain in the shop owner.
@@HumanPerson_final Yes cameras don't protect, they provide evidence after the fact.
This is by far the most disturbing serial killer case I've ever heard. The fact that he had kill kits and targeted anyone at random and had a wife and daughter. Wow.
Israel Keyes doesn’t get the press that Bundy or Dahmer got but he was one sick puppy. His kill kits still make me shudder!
I really think that in cases like this, the parents should be given an opportunity to spend an hour with the guilty person with whatever tools they wish to use.
So, you want to make them monsters too? Haven't they suffered enough? You clearly do not know what you are talking about.
@Willwillwill784 for President 2024!!!!
@@_sneer_ You'd only become a monster if you killed an innocent person. Murderers aren't innocent nor should they be considered people anymore. They're filthy, disgusting tumors that need to be surgically removed from this world.
@@_sneer_you would do anything to exact revenge on anyone who did this to your child don’t lie
@@Anguish4U you don't know what are you talking about
I think the most disturbing thing is that he was checking in on his daughter,waking her up,making her breakfast all while doing that to someone else's daughter. So sick and so sad
There are a lot of hypocrites.
Ask an average american and they probably condemn massacres. Quote them The Bible and they will be pro-massacres in no-time. Scary as hell, but that's how humans operate.
If you were with her, would you have stopped that kidnapping? God was there, but did nothing. You know, the free will and all. Given that we should NOT press charges or try to prevent acts like these. Why, you may ask. Because of the free will, of course.
@Amor Fati Momento Mori Don’t think so. It’s like leaving an open jar of cookies in a room with a young kid there and not telling them if they can or can not have it. You know what that they will eat the cookie but you didn’t tell them to nor did you control them into eating the cookie.
@Amor Fati Momento Mori Hmm interesting point. Though I have to say that predetermined and all I wound don’t go hand in hand. You see for something to be predetermined it must have been made to happen before hand, while knowing everything simply means knowing what will happen beforehand.
At least hes burning in hell now.
@@Alwaysatom so God thought it made more sense for her to die in order for him to get caught rather than him being hit by a bus or having a heart attack?
He made breakfast for his daughter immediately after. That poor kid is going to spend her life in therapy.
Wait
OR, she might just follow in his footsteps, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. She does have his disturbed DNA.
@@JamesSmith-jq2jc I don’t think that’s how it works lol
@@JamesSmith-jq2jc that’s not how dna works
@@JamesSmith-jq2jc that guy was broken. But you also have to remember that it's only been the last 100 years that people have been fairly civil. Life was a lot tougher and everyone was desensitized to death and hardship compared with modern people who aren't. Basically we all have killers somewhere along are genetic tree, And sadly every human being has the capacity to be evil.
I attended the anchorage police youth academy years ago and the lead detective of this case walked us through the whole thing. Showing us evidence, the plans, and what the detective was going through. Really crazy case.
It is so hard for most of us to accept the fact that there are such truly evil people in the world. We see them on TV, but we never really know how many of such people we have interracted with. Every crazy nut in the country buys gas at a gas station, shops for groceries at a grocery store or Walmart, pays rent or buys a place, and may even go to church. Scary to think such evil is among us and that we have probably come across it more than once.
@@The_Real_Uncle_Ruckus Yeh, that's my fear. It reminds me of the old Bette Davis line, "Fasten your seatbelt, everyone. It's going to be a bumpy evening."
@@The_Real_Uncle_Ruckus Unfortunately, I have an astigmatism that renders the Second Amendment useless for me (trust me, you don't want me carrying anything more than a pea shooter). Also, unfortunately, the Second Amendment must have been written by, and approved by, Founding Fathers while under the influence of alcohol (grammatically, it is incoherent). Besides, even if the Second Amendment means what we would like it to mean, it wouldn't be much use against the invisible and distant forces that render our freedoms impotent. Their goal is for us all to turn on one another.
When your security cameras are only concerned about your employees taking things and not protecting your employees you end up with a camera only facing your employee behind the counter which is ridiculous
My exact thoughts why there is no camera outside!!! Poor girl may she rest in peace 😢💔
Cool....
Thats by greedy owner who just cares about employees stealing money
@@el_italo_rd9955 ?...you made that up what if they only had enough money for one camera why would it be on the outside it should be on the inside because almost everything will happen there
@@bako9237 yes but facing out
There’s also a lesson here for employers. NO employee, especially a young girl, should be left alone at your shop, and again, especially at night. I worked at a small garden center for years, and the owner insisted that at least two or more employees worked the shift and closed together. If a second employee was not available, he worked the shift himself with the other person. And no one, male or female, was allowed to walk to their car alone.
That is very considerate!
I love this! My co workers are the exact same way! They walk me to my car every night!
Especially in anchorage alaska. One of the highest crime rates in the US. Weird to think of a place like alaska being this way. I live a few hours south of anchorage.
That is a good, decent employer. All of them should be that concerned.
I only work at my store at night when we are already closed alone doors locked and all
It makes me furious to hear that he seemed proud of her for being so brave. I had a gun put to my head one time, when I was 12, and I remember becoming completely content with the idea of dying. Opposite of that though, I became almost belligerent with the person holding the gun. Being so content with the end, left me fearless, and I found it easy to say whatever I wanted to say. With no reservations. They put the gun down and walked away. Something I said, apparently got to them.
I'll take things that never happened for $100 Alex
Where do you come up with this crap? No one would go out of their way to point a gun at you without wanting something. They’d either commit kidnapping, robbery, or
murder.
@GP.Records or they're mad and want to feel like a big person, so they pull a gun. Plot twist, tell them to go ahead and pull the trigger because you've got nothing to live for, and you've already tried 3 times, and please fo the love of God, put me to sleep end the misery. Dude was like, want to talk about it over a beer?😂
Spaces parents would have been alert if this was a dangerous neighborhood so the person letting space live would have been impossible in a situation where space says it occurred forced to talk what a terrible liar.
@@ryanwalsh2651lol
It baffles me this man would do this if he has a daughter. No one but a parent could ever understand the pain of losing a child. But he just took away someone else's.

All i can hope for is hes paid back in jail

The father learning that it was a picture of his daughter dead, instead of alive must have been absolutely horrifying.
Just awful 😔
I agree, that was extremely fukd up. False hope as bad as possible.
No doubt
It would literally change a man forever.
@@Wherethewindblows524 My god what a horrible experience that must have been for u og ur family.. Mental illness is No joke. I Hope ur doing fine today ❤️
I remember when I worked at Home Depot and nights they would literally watch us walk to our cars and if we had no ride they would ask us to sit in the break room until they arrived. I was young and thought it was a unneeded thing but boy was I wrong! I’m blessed that they did that for us.
Thats good. I work in a family owned restaurant and every night we walk our servers/hostesses to their cars or rides.
' It's better to be safe than sorry '
I work graveyard shift at Home Depot here in British Columbia, my job is getting orders and a lot entail lumber. Whenever we go outside to grab lifts of lumber, we’re never allowed to go alone.
My wife used to be a manager at Home Depot. While they did exactly what you describe during nightly closings, there was another side I really didn't like. If the alarm went off, they would call one of the managers to go check it out. This happened twice to my wife during her time with Home Depot. Both times I went with her despite my having to work in the morning. If I hadn't gone, she would've been alone checking on the alarm. Luckily, both times this happened it was a malfunction with the alarm system, but I cringe to imagine what could have happened.
Now a Home Depot fan. Remember my lil' sis had a job where the only place hiring was a porn shop, no security. Used to drive & sit in the plaza lot if she closed making sure she'd get in her car & go without her knowing since, "she can take care of herself" & each car I saw I just thought, "definitely belongs to a potential rapist/murderer"
The way some criminals sexually assault, kill and dispose of someone is one of if not the most revolting actions to me. I'm appalled at how often these primitive lunatics seem to follow this thread of crimes - even animals would never do this, it's far lower than anything imaginable and I don't know what to say to the victims. Just, God.
Dolphins SA other dolphins and torture their food
Animals do this shit, and as far as we can observe, for a very similar purpose. Social performance of masculinity, and sadistic personalities...
"even animals would never do this-"
That's not even remotely true.
- Male seals have been known to rape (this includes young offspring)
- As someone mentioned, male dolphins do this too and gang rape the females
- Apes have also been known to sexually assault
- Male lions will kill their sons to take out competition for potential mates (apparently the lionesses find this arousing)
- Mother pandas will kill their kid if they can't take care of all of them (same for Tasmanian devils and certain birds)
- Killer Whales will sometimes just kill for sport
- Clown fish will change their sex and mate with their son if the situation arises
- Found this online "In Tasmanian Devil mating season, the male has to beat the female into submission. If he fails, the female beats the male up"
- Tiger sharks eat each other in the womb
- Male Otters are necrophiliacs
- Wallabies discard their joeys if they are being chased
- Female penguins steal babies while male penguins will rape them
- Black widows and female preying mantis will eat their mate after sex
- Domestic male cats have a hooked penis that hurts the female cat which hurts her but also triggers ovulation
Those are just a few.
RIP Samantha. I’m sorry that happened to you and others. Rest in peace.
Never comply with a criminal who shows his face, they can't risk you being a witness!
That’s a sinking feeling, one I fear above all others, it’s something that can make you sick within seconds of feeling it
It’s a horrifying realization that “I’ve seen too much for them to let me live, it doesn’t matter whether I comply or not, my fate is already secured, I’m dead”
Fighting is the only option

Killer climbed through the coffee shop window..she didn’t comply with him..he forced his way inside.....
Nervous Accountant: Are you going to shoot me? Anton Chigurh: That depends. Do you see me?
You have no idea what you are talking about
If the kidnapper shows you their face and even their place of residency then you best be ready to fight for your life because they've shown more than enough personal information to you.
Makes me wish that every woman and child be armed.
@@buzzlaw oof good idea let’s give every child a weapon
@@kdburner7356 yes what is problem in that ?????? in old times every kid was trained by their father to protect them selves from kidnappers psychopaths killers rapists every man and woman have knife or sword so they can protect themselves and their family simple as day ?????? there was soldiers but they were same as today they serve and protect only kings government and politicians officials not the people and in history you can check these soldiers killed and rape women and man they are all psychopaths and killers ?????? and write tickets to ordinary people and government is not allowing people to have guns like it is apocalypse to have one to defend your own family from thief's and killers when cops are minutes away to help you and that is a fact ???? because cops are there for nothing they dont protect and serve anyone or have time to react ?? so why we have these enforcers ??? oh yes to serve and harass Innocent people and give them tickets and many times innocent end up dead because majority of cops are Ego maniacs on their power and psychopaths and love to shoot and kill and then tie you up for their own safety .....

My dad actually remembers this story. He saw Samantha the day before. I was seven at the time and was sleeping less than five miles away. My dad felt so bad for this girl when he heard the story.
Plus, that was the last Americano coffee, peanut butter snickers, and cigar that man would ever get to enjoy before he died and went to Hell to forever suffer.
I feel really bad for the boyfriend whos last real conversation with her was a big fight.
I would never forgive myself
That’s why I never leave mad or go to bed mad at my husband!
Or show up late to pick her up
Seemed like he was cheating on her, so he's either feeling doubly guilty or not guilty at all.
Hugh Mad Bro legit my gf and I never go to bed angry at one another if we get into a fight we sorta it out immediately so we make up before we sleep
There is a self defense rule that says to NEVER allow yourself to be taken to a second location. If you get killed for not cooperating, that sucks but something much worse was awaiting you. Run, fight, yell, whatever but do not cooperate with someone trying to abduct you. There absolutely IS such a thing as fates worse than death. Better be murdered than have horrible things done to you and then be murdered.
Very sad story. Brave girl though.
You're 100% right. & many times the kidnapper gets frightened when the victim screams, yells for help & runs in public & therfore will take off. But yeah, NEVER cooperate with being kidnapped, much better to be shot or killed right then & there, then the long dragged out torturous fate that awaits most victims.
I don’t think that’s a self defense rule and it doesn’t have to be a secondary location you never heard of the Night Stalker?
also piss, puke or relieve yourself, anything you can do to make your kidnapper feel disgusted, do it... as long as it leads to you not being taken away
Excellent point. Thank you for telling people. This is sound criminology.
I agree, it seems she was too kind a soul to fight or maybe really just scared. I do know though, especially as a female I would fight as soon as I realized I was being abducted at my best chance. If you think how hard a cover up is with a release, then you should start thinking of to fight because you are probably not getting released
You're an incredible story teller my friend, how long did it take you to become so eloquently sound? Your flow does not stop, no stutters, no umm's no ahh's, absolutely flawless. Huge props for your work.
13:48 6:13 I love MrBallen so much,such a great story teller❤
My father, a retired NY detective, taught my brother and I growing up to NEVER get in the car with the abductor. It is better to take your chances attempting to survive a bullet or knife wound than endure whatever your abductor has planned to do to you or invents as he’s got you in his custody. This video is the terribly sad and disturbing reason why. Monsters walk amongst us wearing human faces.
@jake lament Real shit, my dude.
That's why you must be a monster as well. I'll get in that vehicle without hesitation, I don't know if it will be a bullet or a fixed blade that I'll use on them. (It wouldn't be my first time) welcome to Juarez
Good advice. I'll remember that. Thanks.
He tought you well, the chance of survival is "not getting abducted", once they got you they will do as they please, better to die trying to escape then by his twisted mind plans.
@@conrradotorres4653 YAAAASSSSS!!!!
If your dad/boyfriend has a shed where the music plays loudly for DAYS including during the nights he just might be a murderer
My neighbors shed has a terrible odor, I could smell it over our garbage earlier when I went to take it out. OMG I wonder how many bodies get thrown away in the literal trash and are never found 😰 I mean, it's not as if anyone is sifting through, especially when you expect it to stink. And people usually keep the trash cans next to or inside the shed/garage too so they already have the easy access..
True true!!
Why is it a boy hmm? It could be a girl
@@kims7287 dead bodies have a significantly different odor than regular trash. Somebody would definitely know if there was a dead body in the trash unless the killer did something to mask it which is Probly unlikely cause most murderers aren’t that smart.
I guess a woman can't commit murder lol
Letting a young female work alone at night UNARMED is irresponsible.
We need to do better, as a society, to allow innocent people to defend themselves
This is why you NEVER let them take you to a second location even if they have a gun to your back. They are looking for a compliant victim. They often will run when they see you are too much trouble and will attract too much attention. My friend escaped a stranger rape this way- by screaming and fighting. Israel Keyes KEPT testing Samantha to see if she was compliant.
The thing that gets me is how he could go back and forth from normal family man to killer so easily.
He was never a normal man to begin with much less a normal family man
I have seen a couple documentaries about this!! The "Kill Kits" he had were buried in MULTIPLE states! He would bury them a year or 2 before with no specific person in mind! When he returned to that state he would dig it up and randomly try garage doors to see if he could open them! He did this to an elderly couple in one of the states! He is the reason I yell at my husband when he leaves the garage door cracked after he smokes and forgets to close it before bedtime!! If you can find any of the documentaries he is terrifying to listen to! By the way my husband watched either 48 Hours, Dateline or 20/20 with me when they aired an episode about him and was freaked out but he still sometimes forgets to close the garage door!
I'm a FBI member this guy freaked me out
And I am a ex navy seal
@@vorelordjr9019 Yes! Not to discount ANY murderer but he is right up there with Richard Ramirez and the Manson Family! I say this because all of their victims were in the place they should feel the safest and some random intruder takes their lives in the most vile way! Those are the scariest kind!
Once he untied her and let her think she was going to live, only to tie her up again, that's when she realized he was a sadist and knew if she begged for her life, he would enjoy it. That's why she stayed so quiet when he was murdering her. If she was going to die, she wasn't going to give him the satisfaction of enjoying her begging. She didn't go quietly because she was weak, It was the opposite. I feel that in my bones, her strength. He took her life but couldn't touch her warrior spirit. Good for her!
Plausible . I like your spirit never say die
Well, I do not know if warrior spirit is what I would call it. She had so many opportunities to escape or be rescued and failed every single one of them. Any adult who does not know that if you are being taken from one spot to another by an assailant you are in a fight for your life. Being compliant is not going to "win your attacker over".
@Mike G no point in judging the victim.
@@Wayneraltman Get back with me when it happens to you, then you' can talk. Otherwise, you just think you know what you would do. It's not her fault she got kidnapped and murdered, ffs. That's entirely on her killer. HE chose that, not her.
@@JG-cj6pc well as luck would have it I have been held at gunpoint and told to get in a vehicle. The fact I did not comply is why I am not with the woman in the video.
At no point did I excuse the jack off the video was about. At no point was I rude to anyone either.
NEVER let a stranger take you ANYWHERE. No one is moved to be robbed. And if they want to move you, surely they want to kill you. Better to die fighting for your life right where you are then to be moved. Even if you can’t win the fight, you can take an eye or hurt them in some way, hurt them as bad as possible. Everyone has a lion in them. At that moment, let your lion out. This is sickening.

I would never understand how we have immense powerful cameras that can photograph space while the security cameras are this shitty
Modern cameras can take 4k hd vids but back in 2012 doubtful a small mom and pop store in Alaska was going to have anything better than this. Crazy as it seems most security cameras at that time probably did 320p as a standard option.
Even modern security cameras are quite limited in quality and it's mostly due to storage limitation, not the camera itself. All well n good having that 4k goodness but if it's taking 2-5Gb up for every hour of footage storage becomes an issue real quick. Even compressed 720 is 200-300mb per hour. Run that 8-12 hours 5-7 days a week and it mounts up.
@@MoA-Reload... And that is per camera. Most places have several.
Modern cameras can be in HD. A lot of places do not replace their cameras until they have to. Its why you get clear doorbell and dashcam or home security cams looking crispy and decent to good footage but a store's security footage looks like its 1992 again--could be the last time they updated it.
@@lyman17 LOL yeah that is likely a huge factor, but I do have a friend that used to put in cameras and he said storage was the big issue. So I dunno. Although storage is getting cheaper all the time as well.

It's a double-edged sword with this channel, on one side it's extremely interesting, riveting and compelling story-telling and on the other side is the nature of the content itself, very depressing and sad...you've gotta be a glutton for punishment in order to endure the constant barrage
Needed to let the parents of his victims have 10 minutes alone in a windowless room with him let them decide his punishment, no sense wasting money and time on trials with these wastes of resources.
I saw the photo on Google. This guy was something else. Unreal.
I tell my kids constantly, especially my teenage daughter, never allow yourself to be taken under any circumstance. Fight with everything you have. Feign compliance, wait for an opportunity, but fight. And Never trust someone who is threatening you with violence to keep their word.
Scream make as much noise as you can, kick ,punch, bite....gouge the eyes out if you can lol
Thanks for this. I’ll be discussing the same thing with my daughter later. You just never know!
@@amberlaplante6210 Screaming doesn’t always work so don’t rely on it!
My big brother (a cop) said the same, scratch, bite, kick, scream. Poke your fingers in his eyes and hurt him with everything but never ever be compliant, they won’t let you go because you’ve been a good girl.
Scream 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Usually gets people's attention. If somebody predatory wishes you dead. Then that's exactly what will go down. All that advice us fruitless when the killer composes him or herself.
He took one daughters life when he has a daughter of his own. That man doesn’t deserve a family for what he has done. Condolences to the family
He took _several_ daughters' lives, actually. I believe they've confirmed the deaths of at least 4 women, but they suspect he is responsible for a _lot_ more. And I imagine, in a sense, he's done a ton of damage to his own daughter and girlfriend- I can't imagine how guilty you'd feel knowing that happened just feet away from your own home, while you were there, and you were totally oblivious.
Even moreso I'd say for the 'mother' that slew her NINE children...

Thank you mr. Ballen for ur story telling. My dad also told stories thoroughly as you do. My dad is a navy veteran. I hear you intensingly telling a story and it takes me back 20yrs. As intense as the story he would tell, his voice sounds just like yours......"sane".
I have that habit as well but my family has 0 patience and always interrupts me just want hear how it ends 🙄😂
If only the coffee shop had set up their camera to keep an eye on customers rather than their own employees smh.
when you run a businesses and every dollar counts, your not going to pay for a security cam that watches the street or outside the business. ideally they could have both but someday VERY soon there will be cameras on every corner like in china. its already happened where i live in canada. EVERY intersection has video cameras so no matter where you go you can be tracked. zero privacy
@@Curtis.Carpenter you can get a decent surveillance cam these days for 20 bucks. Opinion discarded.
@@TheNightRichard You don’t know what you’re talking about, for a business surveillance system they use IPCCTV which requires a static IP paid for to your ISP, that in itself without even yet purchasing a camera is more than $20. Opinion discarded.

What’s strikes me the most is that the shop owner only seemed concerned with monitoring their own employees. I get it, usually the people that betray you are the closest, but the fact that there were no exterior cameras, parking lot cameras, or even infrared seems careless, even in 2012 cameras were not that expensive.
Im addicted! I'm in a situation where my son and I escaped DV, now I'm in Transitional Housing, awaiting our own safe housing for me & my son- which I mention to prove Survivors Are REAL, but as you can imagine it's boring. I fill up my days, Dallas Train lines and busses and 30 min waits, in addition to my initial "before bed" ritual of Mr Ballen!! Love this, best story teller ever... and I love that he was able to find another talent that makes millions entertained with his story telling skills after his Navy Seals career.
I lived in Anchorage when this happened, you couldn't walk anywhere without seeing hundreds of flyers. My heart cried for her dad, he was out there constantly putting up flyers and asking people if they had seen her. :( It was so sad. You could tell that he loved his daughter very much and that they had a great bond. My heart still goes out to him.
So fricking sad.i hate him.its horrible when things like this happen so close to home.
Poor dad, poor girl. Truly awful human being.

@@simonlopez3194 , It certainly is a scary world that we live in.
Absolutely awful 😞
Always kick and scream no matter what… my moms always told me as a kid, “Bite, kick, scream and scratch… what they do to you in private will be far worse once they get you.”
Absolutely. Try to do as much damage as possible, by scratching them you also will get their skin cells and thus their DNA under your fingernails.
Also, I would suggest that any female who is left in the unfortunate situation where they might have to be alone closing a store or just alone anywhere, should at the very least consider learning self-defense tactics...though personally I know that for me at least, the women close to me in my life will be armed and capable defending themselves. Better to take the chance at pissing off your employer--one who is allowing you to be in a dangerous situation to begin with--by being legally armed than the alternative if you find yourself alone with a man or several men. *Always be aware of your surroundings and if you are going to be alone or are concerned that you might be in a dangerous area, let someone else know where you are going.*
@@dieselbaby2398 It sounds like the killer threatened Samantha with a gun, which made her duck twice. Had she been armed and a gun range enthusiast, he would have been dead before he got to her. (Gavin Newsome, California's governor, can go suck a serial killer's _ _ _ _ .)

As a young woman I wked at a small shop (2 employees and 1 absent owner) on the evening shift alone. The owner would often joke about me getting murdered while giving me a light hearted laugh. I chuckled with him because he lost a lot of his income on those days and I had many nice dinners with friends (“my” treat). Wishing me dead on the reg is not free.
I saw this full story on television at some point on a true crime show!! So sad and so brutal. He is a truly twisted creature! Perfectly told as always, thank you Mr. Ballen!! 💖
Remember people, NEVER let yourself be taken to a secondary location. If you are the victim of a crime the likelihood of your survival plummets if they take you somewhere else. So it's worth fighting like hell when they try because more often than not you're going to die anyways.
Edit: I want to be clear I'm not victim blaming in any way. She acted in the way she believed would preserve her life. Beyond that there is no "right answer" anyone who tells you there is one is arrogant or ignorant.
My statement is for those finding themselves in similar unfortunate situations. I want to inform people so they can make a good decision on what has a better chance of creating the outcome they want.
And that information is that you have an equal chance of dying after being kidnapped as you do if you resist being kidnapped in the first place.
Do everything and anything possible to leave as much evidence behind if you're overpowered.
Evan Lucas
Agree, NEVER, nor get in the trunk.
Hell yeah!👍
Basically, be an unwilling victim. Look for every chance to disable your assailant by whatever means are available.
My uncle who’s a cop told me this exact same thing. Also to leave ANY kind of evidence you possibly can . always stay vigilant!!!!
The saddest part is she had so many opportunities to get out of there, but believed he'd honour his word and just did as she was told, so sad :(
Is it a movie ? Pls tell me name
Ropes and chains aren’t always physical. Mental bonds are just as effective on innocent minds. No match for a seasoned and evil manipulator. It’s like you or me lying to a three year old to get them to do something. I hate this demon as much as I hurt for Samanthas dad. But in the end Samantha was braver and stronger than that demon ever was over her.
That's fear
The irony of this statement and the state of the entire world right now. Just comply and they’ll let you go ;)
@forest rin that is so true about shock and fear fight or flight and in some cases freeze it is a very basic primal instinct that is how a vet can handle an otherwise aggressive animal and do a through exam because of the fear
Sickening. This one made me nauseous... and made a call to my daughter, too.
Just to make sure everything's ok...
I've always appreciated story telling and the details he gives and the way he tells the stories are great. I grew up enjoying other people's stories.
Imagine being Dwayne. He probably blamed himself for being late, that’s just sad man.
@ Bobby’s Mac Blaine Keyes was armed and more than likely would’ve shot Dwayne on the spot had he shown up on time. Either way the situation wasn’t good. But I agree with you he must feel absolutely terrible. That would be extremely hard to get over.
Dwayne also witnessed Keyes rifling through his truck at his home stealing Samanthas ID and debit card. He claims he saw this, after him and her father had been up worrying for hours, did nothing to deter the man, and went back to sleep!! What the actual fuck? Either Dwayne gets a terribly bad wrap in this story or he is a careless moron. I hope the latter is true.
@@tommycash4080 is that true?
@@user-ws1ob2hs5s that’s what it said in the book “American Predator” Yep.

Man this is horrific. One thing I'm learning from all these stories is never allow yourself to be taken to a second location.
YES! Nothing good ever happens at the second location. I once heard a detective say, fight like your life depends on it at the first location.
lol
If you have to fight like your life depends on it, then your life depends on it, and it doesn’t matter how little strength you have, you need to force all your strength out
There are fates worse than death, and as much as I fear death, I’ll take it over those fates any day
Rule is give them belongings but nothing else, nothing good ever happens once you’re taken away and fight for your life. Probably a better death there than the second location anyway
Ok but what’s considered the 2nd location? His truck or the garage?

The fact that he literally fed her false hope into thinking she’s going get released just makes me sick to my stomach
I wanted to be a profiler once, because as a child I was under the mistaken impression that their job was literally to hunt and kill monsters like this. Admittedly, this was likely driven by films like Silence of the Lambs and others that glorify the work of ending monsters.
When I found out that this was not the case, I promptly lost interest.

@@nathanjones6638 There’s a reason we worry about the rights of monsters, it’s one of the most important pillars of this country. Everyone deserves the right to due process, even the most despicable people, and without that there cannot be justice. It’s a slippery slope whenever you start taking anyone’s rights away, no matter how awful they may be. They deserve to be punished under the full extent of the law, but that does mean you can strip them of due process.

@@nathanjones6638 I have no well wishes and pure hope people like this go through the worst things to be experienced as well but if I want a fair trial if I ever had to be in court, I'd assume so should everyone. They're monsters but it's about equality, justice is supposed to be blind to some degree. Whether you're rich or poor and so on, you should get a fair trial but at the same everyone should be punished the same if found guilty. I think we're too lenient with the punishments though.

Dunkin Donuts, 24hrs in Broward County. I often worked the overnight shift alone and would instantly lock lobby and only use the drive through.
I was eventually fired for locking the lobby MIND YOU we were robbed 5x within a 3 week period overnight. Blows my mind how selfish franchise owners are.
Just watched your video on the Iraqi rescue mission in Mosal. Brought me to tears. Keep up the stellar story telling!
An old girlfriend from a few years ago worked at a frozen yogurt shop and closed alone at night often. One night she told me she went to take out the trash and a car full of "scary-looking" guys was out there looking at her and she was very frightened. From that night on, I would come into the shop and stay with her while she closed up and take the trash out for her. Never saw that car again but I wasn't about to let something happen to her... This type of story is why I'll never hesitate to do that.
My husband ( then boyfriend) used to do the same for me when I was working at a bakery.
The bakery closed pretty late and I had to walk home.
There were a couple of old men that were really creepy towards me and some harassment too ( I was a highschool student then - around 17) and he started to come to get me every night because he felt I wasn't safe.
I then had an aunt comment on how innapropriate it was for us to spend so much time alone at night... But she didn't offer to come and get me.
I guess it would be better to be at the mercy of luck...
That is awesome. Thank you. As a mother I would for sure be grateful for that so thank you
I live in the area of the city with the highest crime rate, it's dangerous to be out after dark for any gender but everyone knows how it is for girls. Anyways, I sometimes have the nightshift and have to go home at midnight and it's so scary. There's a guy who works down the street and goes on the same bus as me. He'll stand with me at the bus stop and will sit beside me in the bus to make me feel safe. It's so appreciated. You were an awesome boyfriend for doing that, says a lot about the kind of person you are an how you value your loved ones safety.
That's one thing that is so scary to me. You never know who is really watching you and learning your routine to be able to do something to you.
Thank you. You never know. And just because you didn’t see them didn’t mean they didn’t see you and not attempt anything. Thank you.
As someone who’s a waitress and has worked a late night closing shift I can tell you this is why we usually have 2 or 3 closers and 3 managers there. The owners of this coffee shop failed to protect their employees by putting them in a position that makes them extremely vulnerable.
Exactly!
Agree 100%
I worked at a bar and grill and was closing 3 times a week alone. It was scary in general, but then I had a wake up call closing. I found myself alone with only the bar lights on with an intoxicated male patron who didn't want to be cut off and was also way too interested😢. He was also bringing up his interests in weapons and such. Its hard to describe but there was all sorts of red flags about the guy, what he said and his mannerisms, in addition to being alone which he was also very aware of, and I felt like... prey. I was nervously moving things around looking like im working and I sent a quick sneaky text that I had a SOS situation to a coworker who lived on the same road and thankfully they came right away and got the guy out of there. He may have not had a bad bone in his body, but I listened to the hair raising feeling that it was not a good situation. I told the owner the next day no more of that and he was pretty annoyed with me that I wouldn't close alone anymore and wasn't able to handle the situation.
3 managers, you're emotional right now😂
This is all speculation but the guy said he found his next target while in the drive thru and he'd done it many times before it wouldn't have happened right there but there's a good chance he'd have stalked and grabbed her later anyhow its a doomed situation.

My sister used to work closing shifts alone as a barista. Her bosses knew she had a creepy stalker, who would come to the place and harass her, but did nothing about it. Fortunately for her, she had family and a boyfriend who would sit with her as she closed up shop, so she wouldn't be in danger. (Pretty sure my parents were packing heat too.) But it's pretty F-ed up that they thought it was acceptable to make teenagers work closing shifts alone. That should be illegal.
I agree
Years ago, this was common practice. My daughter was left alone to close a burger joint regularly when she was 15.
I went in , and told the owner she was NOT to EVER do this again, or we'd insist she quit immediately.

Lol. The FBI doesn’t get “creeped out.” They are very intelligent people who do everything strategically. They come across these cases on a regular basis.

And she turned out to be right. I remember he used to ask my sister and cousin to always sit on his lap. They were teenagers.
Videos like this remind you you can never be too paranoid about your safety, especially as a young girl
Mind really isn't playing tricks on you. Warning you.
I agree that all people can't be to careful. I just wanted to say it makes me sad that people need to think like that.
Yesss. Keep them close to you when you go shopping or anywhere, there are traffickers that stalk young girl's & they will grab them as soon as they have an open opportunity. I am afraid of myself if I catch anybody abusing a young girl or kidnapping one, death might be inevitable for those demonic scum of the earth. We need to teach children certain hand signs & strategy's to reveal escape or get someone's attention, all people need to be aware of these signs. It is sickening we have to even consider this horrific possibility.

I knew Sam personally. This was super tragic. Although it brought our community together. She could’ve walked away perfectly fine considering that coffee shop was on two main roads. She DID RUN and GOT AWAY in the parking lot, but he caught her. You can get around anchorage quite easily winter or not. Now if she was still alive when he went out to matanuska lake, that’d be a different story. Sadly she was dismembered and placed into a frozen lake in pieces. They finally retrieved her body April 2nd. Her dad to this day still hasn’t recovered from losing his daughter. He “died” that day they found her. I pray that one day he finds peace and is able to live life the way Sam would want him too. She was one of the most caring, always happy, full of life, and would do anything for those she loved kind of person. May you be in peace Samantha❤️ we miss you.
Heartbreaking stuff R.I.P Samantha coward killed himself in prison no justice for the family
@@dillpickle2712 exactly. I wanna know how that POS got the razor in the first place. It should’ve never happened
@Syon Kanaginhal I follow him, plus I really enjoy true crime and murder mysteries.
😢
Awwwww, so sad 🥺
i absolutely adore this channel and Mr. Ballen. He is definitely getting me through having Covid right now!
@@mrballen.... Wait, whut? Seriously? so confused.
@@mrballen.... can you validate this?
I always get shivers watching security footage with something like this..
OK, so security companies, hear me out: What if--and this is kind of wild but--you guys created surveillance equipment that produced clear enough images to actually serve the purpose that the equipment was intended for? I know, it's crazy but I'm innovative af, what can I say?
Back to minecraft loser
Many places do the problem is the cost that companies don’t want to pay. So I’d place more responsibility for that on the employer
@@angelfinley6244it regards to the camera quality.... tbh it's EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE to run HD, just 720-1080p security cameras and storage for say just 1 week, let alone more. It's a tough cost for small businesses (but even some big companies do this, which is a shame), and especially for low crime areas. I'm not sure of Anchorages crime rates, but I'm guessing it's not insane, but who knows...that winter environment is rough on people. I suggest more and better placement for those small businesses just trying to make it.
LEO have pretty sophisticated technology to be able upscale the quality(Hollywood grade to above Hollywood grade tech...and some of the greatest at doing this kind of stuff), then also a lot of other evidence of similar cases across the country to create a trail.. to still get a match if some of the face is shown...if his face was so covered up, not much anyone can do except use info from this catch, run it through advanced national databases at the FBI to find similar cases as a lot of serial killers do things one way over another...a little thing such as telling if the guy is left handed can eliminate millions of suspects...then maybe his/her tying/roping technique could trim it to thousands and so on. They also have extremely talented people who can cut the list down shorter to maybe hundreds, then other processes from there.
It's a long process unfortunately, but it's either low unemployment/small businesses/etc.. and higher suicide rates, more crime, etc from low unemployment. It's a trade off.
Large enterprises should have higher standards, but MOST serial killer have thought their methods through so even the best security cameras resolution can be nulled by just putting on a Hoodia, a hate pushed down low, keeping head down, and add in the fact the people who do this know where the cameras are unless hidden well, means they can be identifiable even with say 1080p to higher resolutions.
a lot of these small businesses are REQUIRED by their insurance company to have these, so even though insurance companies are trashy a lot, they really put in good measures using scientific data and actuarial science for their security to get business insurance policies (becausethey really do want to keep people safe because if not then they are dulling out large sums to incidents like these to the small business, which is bad for insurance companies. They have minimum requirements, so most businesses go with limited just because the cost of running a business is high itself...otherwise, we'd look worse than the coronavirus shutdown where stores are closing left and right duets high overhead...leading to more unemployment, gdp, suicides, mental health (which can lead to being a guy like keyes), etc...
@@TM-bn8pv Firstly I think you replied to the wrong person. But that wall of text would also kill someone if it fell on them, please be more responsible and summarize, kthxbye
@@TM-bn8pv I paid about 40 bucks for 2 cameras that record in 1080p and records sound. I can talk back and forth through the camera, and enable alarm on it. I ALSO pay less than 3 bucks a month (I pay $35 for yearly) for 30gb of cloud storage. I COULD get a 512gb storage chip to put in it as well for only 30 bucks on Amazon.
So to say the security is "not available" is pure bull. My cameras have motion detection AND auto night vision features. I can watch every second in 1 minute clips on the app and delete in bulk to save space as well. Any company, big or small, can easily afford a good enough camera to cover every spot in their store with clear picture.
This shows that serial killers have zero empathy for the suffering of others. I can’t imagine how a father could abduct a girl and keep her in a shed And then proceed to go in his house and hang out with his own daughter.
Exactly.
It’s the devil and psychopathy.
@@LP-lk4wv nah it’s just humans
Yep. That’s what makes them serial killers.
@@reecez0zr regular people don’t do this shit.
I wouldn't say terrified, rather disgusted and enraged.
Rip Samantha hope you find peace wherever you are
