VIP goes to the mom, for so quickly turning her son in.
Even though she raised him, she turned him over to the police as soon as she knew he committed a crime, and was not later protecting her son. Good for her.
This is a kid who deserves anything and everything that is coming to him, and more. The fact that he chose scalding hot water to drowned her in, shows the utter cruelty that lives in him.
I think Mindy as a mother just hearing the evil her son did to a 10 year old was in shock and didn't want to hear about the evil acts of her child
She might have been scared of him, too
Therein lies the problem.
@@greenseadream That's what I was thinking. She's alone with a killer. She wanted the police to come ASAP.
@@normanmcneal3605 The problem? No... Why are we all so empathy dumb?
She was in shock. Not only did her son tell her what he had done...The remains were STILL in HER home. She likely was thinking a million things and in a state of clinical psychiatric crisis = one's mind experiences stressors that acutely overwhelmed her normative coping skills...That is why she sounds almost delayed in things she says and almost passive/aggressive as well.
I commend his mother for turning him in, in far too many cases the parents have covered up the crime, but his mother turned him in. I’ve a lot of respect for her doing that
@@LightningBoltz wtf. is this for real?
@@tinypinkprincess9824 Yep. Also slept in the same bed as his mother the night before he confessed the killing to her.
If you have kids then you know how overwhelming the urge to protect them at all costs can be. I completely understand it, but its hard not to put yourself in front of your child when they're in any kind of dangerous situation. It can make you do things you never thought you would.
@@LightningBoltzthey probably had an… interesting mother and son bond. i knew Freud was right.
@@tinypinkprincess9824unfortunately, yes. i can link you the video
Already posted elsewhere but needed to clear a couple things up. I went to church with Jessica for a short time before her disappearance. I was homeschooled at the time and my dad taught me how to make a map (how that'd help, don't ask me, I was 8-), and find key locations around my community in case "I found her and needed to bring her somewhere for help." Its horrible what happened to her. Thank you for covering her case.
I am sorry to hear that you lost a dear friend as a child. It's sad that you two girls can't get old together. She was lucky to have you as a friend. It's nice your dad tried to help find her. Be safe out there. Too many crazy people out there so be careful. God Bless!!!
'
Thank you and your dad for being so ready to help her if needed.
My mom worked with her grandmother and had met her a couple times. My sister and I weren't much older than her when she went missing and I vividly recall my mom giving us missing flyers to give to local businesses.
I still remember how my stomach dropped when the news broke that they found parts of a body because I think we all knew right away it was her.
Have you been able to go to the park dedicated to her?
Nothing about this comment cleared anything up but OK.
The map was for you to find your way home, silly, and to get a bearing on everything surrounding you. Your dad is a very smart and caring man.
What in the actual fuck. I struggle to understand how a person can do this. Can you imagine the physical strength involved to dismember a body? The lack of emotion, completely devoid of any notion of consequence? It's scary, the mom did the right thing.
Jiles keeps deleting comments about the mother as they go against his agenda, but he has conveniently omitted how irresponsible and neglectful Austin Sigg's mother was.
Apart from leaving a 12-year-old alone with uncensored internet access to browse violent child pornography and not getting him the help he needed, I also found this:
Austin Sigg Practiced Zip Tying his mother before kidnapping, raping and dismembering 10-year-old Jessica Ridgeway
The depraved murderer then bound the girl's hands and feet with zip ties - a move he practiced before the kidnapping on his mother Mindy Sigg, the Denver Post reports. The killer's mom also joked with friends about her son's sick fascination with body decomposition, part of his bizarre fixation on mortuary science
Austin Sigg's brother even told a psychologist the convicted murderer "was learning how to kill people and be able to get away with it" in one of his community college classes, the Post reports.
nydailynews.com/news/crime/killer-practiced-zip-tying-mother-kidnapping10-year-old-article-1.1535599
I can barely stand to cut up a chicken. 😣😆💕
Yeah I can understand like someone killing someone in the heat of the moment, even though I don't agree with it, but to plan out and then carry out the dismemberment of a corpse is beyond me.
I am completely numb to it at this point. I've seen so many of these videos and the topic of dismembering a body to "get rid of the evidence" comes up fairly frequently. I dont really understand the logic there. I guess they think it'll be harder to find but all they're doing is making it easier to get caught. It creats a mess because of all the blood, at each dump site theres a risk that someone will see them and report it, and instead of now hiding one thing which would be harder to find they're leaving multiple parts increasing their chances of being found. it's just a dumb idea.
@@ericreed2064 and it's happening so much! Hacking through bone that is a whole sound. Sawing through is a whole weird thing.....he actually had it easier as he studied the body for school. It's still disgusting..
I have a brain injury, yeah it's an excuse for some things. Not this!! Freak...I never heard the details of this. Sounds like he was experimenting.
The dude sexually assaulted, strangled, drowned, dismembered and took out the organs of a CHILD and his sentence includes the possibility of parole? Im so so mad
It’s just wording. He’ll never get out.
Im not. Since when does our system deliver justice? Except, well I dont wanna get on youtube punishmrnt again. But, I can tell you why
Disgusting.
Him not even being a legal adult at that point is terrifying
Spoiler!!
To me mom sounded in shock and possibly scared of him. She called the police right away which as true crime viewers have seen some family members cover it up. It’s hard to judge her in a situation that is so extreme.
Yes, like Brian Laundry's disgusting parents!
This is not to excuse them (because I hate them for it), but I think part of the reason they deny the crimes and support the family that is because of ego. They can't acknowledge the evil in the person they produced because then the shadow will fall on them, implying something either about their genes or their rearing or both. I don't empathize. If I had family like that, I'd want to make it clear I don't condone their actions nor will be in denial about them if the evidence is there. In fact, that predator would be in danger from ME. There's nothing on this planet I hate more than a child predator. He eviscerated that baby and left her not a shred of dignity.
Indeed, he was a monster. You can look in his eyes and see he's completely dead inside. Why he didn't get life when child predators don't stop even when they're old, I'll never know. He didn't deserve anything less than exactly what he gave that innocent baby.
@@LadyAstarionAncunin
I see your points and agree with you. It had to be horrifying as a parent to hear your own child confess to an especially heinous crime committed against an innocent child but also the attack on the lady jogger. I admire Mindy for calling 911 immediately and not trying to cover up his horrific acts upon a child. Austin presented serious red flags to his parents at a young age and they refused to get him into a serious mental health counseling program but opted for a "religious" camp instead and they'll have to live with that decision for the rest of their lives. I don't advocate for violence against people but if Austin experiences a fraction of the pain he inflicted on Jessica at the hands of fellow inmates,it wouldn't disturb me in the least. My deepest condolences to Jessica's family,friends, and community...
words of sympathy and support always feel so hollow after a horrific tragedy like this. I hope Jessica's family received and continues receiving the mental health counseling they need to cope with her death;a decade may have passed but that loss will never be anything less than devastating.
Everyone reacts differently in a crisis. Some freak out like me, others in shock, others somehow remain calm. Everyone is different.
I think she also didn’t want to hear any more details about what he did
His mom was super stressed and I can here the anxiety is on 1000%. She wanted the voice of someone she knew. I feel so bad for his mom. I cannot imagine what she went through. Let alone Jessica's parents and family. Unimaginable loss for both family.
I can hear. You hear with ur ear, and so that's how i remember how to spell hear instead of spelling it as here. The spelling here is for a place or area as in, place the box here please. I'm sorry, i don't mean to be that annoyin dude to point it out but just thought u'd like to know. Have a nice day.

@philipsmi-lenguyen8155 I'm a Grammar and spelling Nazi too...smile.
I think Austin's mother sounds clearly distressed during the call, she's just on auto-pilot and possibly dissociating to get her through an incredibly traumatic situation. If my family member murdered someone I wouldn't either want to hear them talk about what they've done.
The knowledge that there's all of this torture porn and snuff film material out there unsettles me everytime I hear about it. I usually make it through these videos without it sticking with me too much, but that one video about Peter Scully stuck with me for months after watching it. It makes my neck hairs stand up when I remember some of the details in that video. That's what happens out there, that's what is being consumed by monsters like Austin Sigg and it happens on a daily basis.
@Louie Berg - And yet you still keep watching these types of videos? Louie, if you are a man, then get a pair and man up...
@@unmalo2768 people aren't allowed to have terrible reactions to evil? Man. I guess I need to grow some balls too.

Her favorite knock-knock jokes etched on the rocks around the park💔😭 I lost my son at 13 months old in June of 2021 due to a genetic mutation he was born with and it was absolutely devastating. But I can not imagine the pain of these parents hearing what happened to their child and how they got there. So sickening and heartbreaking.💔
That's the part that killed me--her favorite knock knock jokes 😢
I'm so sorry about your baby.. I hope it gets easier with time. 💜
I'm so sorry for your loss!
My condolences for your loss. I lost my daughter while she was still in the womb. I was overseas for deployment when my ex-wife called to say she had a miscarriage, and due to complications, my child`s life was lost. Shortly thereafter I found out by coincidence that she`d had an abortion, supposedly because of medicinal problems/concerns for her own health, at least that`s what she told the doctor at the time.
@@oafishblowfish8951
Dude, this story is too fucking prevalent among Service members. As an Army brat with three crayon-eaters for brothers, I’ve heard this same story more times than I’d like to remember. I have a family and can’t imagine what that must be like. Deployed and then to get news like that and THEN find out she may or may not have just killed the poor child out of convenience. I hope you have some brothers (related or otherwise) to talk with to process that crap. Reading the Bible helps me when… things get rough. Anyway, fine profile pic, dude. Stay vigilant, stay safe.
Sincere condolences for the loss of your child. It doesn't matter how, I'm sure the pain and loss are similar. I hope you can find peace and some happiness in the memories ❤ 🤍
The majority of your videos have me shaking my head, disgusted at the monstrous things humans are capable of, however this new series involving children hits hard, deep in the pit of my stomach, an extra sickening feeling reserved solely for the demons who can harm a kid. It’s unthinkable.
Great work Jiles as always, but tough subject matter. Hope you’re looking after yourself after dealing with topics like these. 🙏🏼💗
Oh, so you dont give two shits about adults?
@@thedesensitizedsympathizer5307 jeez what a bad take
.... and who said there are no dumb questions...
The ones with children always get to me. The Heart Family murders was one that really got me worked up.
@@thedesensitizedsympathizer5307 naturally you just had to make this comment huh? Classic internet
“Oh, you find children being harmed bad, that means you don’t care when adults are harmed?”
No, you dumb bitch, that’s a whole other sentence. He/she said that cases involving children are extremely heartbreaking, shut up.
I'm frozen at one moment; being a mom of 3 boys i am horrified by what it must have felt like to hear such a confession from your own son. Holy cow.
She was 10. This is barbaric and heartbreaking.
My favorite thing about Monsters is that I always think “man I know this case already” and BAM I’m hit with info I was oblivious to!
This is the magic of Jiles! The Man digs deep! He could probably tell us her fish's names, lol
Bubbles…. No, but thought I was serious for a second, didn’t you?
@@thisisMONSTERS I bought it... "Hook, line and sinker" 😂😂😂🐠🐠🐠 And that's why I adore you, Man. You crack me up! Thanks for the laugh! 💖
Every. Time.
I can't imagine the toll these cases take on the families or the amount of research needed for accuracy and empathy. Bless you 💜
Can’t imagine the families toll…. But it’s thousand fold…. Every responder who had to deal with that scene is dealing with horrendous images every time they blink or it’s quiet or their alone with their thoughts…. I’ve been there…. I’m still there…. Almost cost me everything. I wasn’t involved with this case but other ones involving juveniles or infants. When your alone, it’s deafening…. You re-live every part of the scenes with unbelievable/slow motion/detail. My last one was a 8 month old…. Still warm to the touch on arrival… during our critical stress debriefing meeting afterwards…. I made the decision I was done. Don’t regret it for one second. Helps to vent about it under an anonymous username and hopefully others dealing with the same issue can feel better about venting too.
The fact that two registered sex offenders were living that close to the home of a little girl is pretty horrifying in itself.
They have apps that show sex offenders that live near you. Wanna freak yourself out? I'll tell you what it blew my mind how many there were living around me . Like 30 within a mile ...
@@JohnClark-sl7ps that’s messed up & terrifying, but it should be that easy for families find out/ know…! I’m going to check that out thanks man 👍🏼👍🏼✌🏼
most sex-offenders live in the same home as their victim…
@@dd-jm1mdthat doesn't take into account that most victims are no longer being assaulted ...
@@JohnClark-sl7ps you seem to fail to register most victims don’t report the abuse…
The strength it took for that mother to report her own son is amazing -I’m sure she was in a hurry to get him into custody, and is quite aware it wasn’t like he ordered a pizza. She’s not the criminal here and doesn’t deserve anything but sympathy
Thank you
Saw this not too long ago on another channel. Absolutely horrific. How someone can do something like this is beyond me.
Rest in peace Jessica❤️🕊️
Was it That Chapter? I saw it there as well... It's interesting to hear the same story told in different ways.
I saw it on the other channel too. 😢
@@endcensorship874
Nah, it wasn't that chapter, can't remember which channel though, tryna think... It was earlier this week.
@@jkhtravelrn
Sad bruh. Sad sad sad💔
was it coffeeshop crime?
How shocking that thoughts and prayers were not effective interventions for this violence.
I thought that stuff fixed everything.
Apparently not.
Religious disease is poison and kills all it touches.
Prayer works! Jesus is just on a backlog lately because of all the flooding in Kentucky and the Brittney Griner trial.
Ignorance at it's finest
@@dixonbidenzmouth4115 Religion? Absolutely.
What??
Seeing her memorial park made me cry so hard 😭 I can’t imagine how her parents feel knowing their little girl suffered the worst death imaginable. I bet she was crying out for them too during her attack. Glad that sick fuck was caught right away!
Thank you for talking about Jessica so beautifully and who she really was.
Wow, his mother was brave to be able to stay at the house with him while she was on the phone with 911. I can’t imagine being able to make a phone call like that, much less so calmly and not be running the heck away as I spoke.
Word!! Maybe she knew she could still take em but I think that's why the operator dispatcher wanted her to stay on the line...
@@n.b.l.5709 exactly. He was much less likely to attack her when shes on the phone to a police dispatcher. The mother must have been terrified.
I wish he would have killed me
This one was especially hard to hear. Poor little girl-even when you take precautions and use the buddy system monster’s come along. The park is lovely. Along with the knock knock jokes and what I assume to be her favorite color (purple)-it’s a place where her friends can go remember her. Not for the way she died but for the bright, vibrant way in which she lived. Thanks for covering this one.
Thank goodness Austin is behind bars and will never get out. It hurts my heart whenever I hear of anything like this happening to a child. Thank you Jiles. Hope you're taking care of yourself especially when you have to deal with cases like this. 👍
Scary to think that he almost got away with it. Wonder how long it would have taken to figure out his DNA wasn't actually tested yet. If ever! Pretty significant mistake and now I'm pondering how often that happens. 😬
Yeah same here.. that blew my mind
My thoughts exactly. It’s horrifically perplexing how a mistake like that happens.
So sad to know that he could have got away with it if only he didn't freak out about the police figuring it out that both of his crimes were connected.
nobody, *I MEAN NOBODY* "gets away with it". hate to burst ya rose-colored bubbles.
jus sayin - this comment thread is full of hopeless optimists, frfr.
no shade intended. i mean, it's cute, BUT unrealistic, y'all
@@deadassdgaf100 Are you serious?!? If you genuinely think that EVERY murderer is caught then YOU are the one sporting the rose colored glasses. Educate yourself cuz plenty of murders have gone unsolved.
I'm immensely proud of his mother. I couldn't imagine having to turn my baby in for something so horrendous. I can only imagine the moral dilemma she had to face.
Me to cus i woulda of beat the sht out him 🤯
Too bad she raised such a sick, perverted freak and didn't get him the mental health treatment/monitoring he clearly needed. Bad mother.
She did her duty as a member of the community, a mother and a human. In my family such a revelation would lead to there being an extra murder case and one less trial, but we don't have the death penalty in our country and sentences are so much of a joke that they might as well be an insult to the victims.
Cant help but wonder what could have been had she done a proper job when he was 12 of getting him actual therapeutic help when finding him watching violent hurtcore! Rather than sending him to a fucking church to pray the sin away. Geez no room for being immensely proud here. Where was the supervision on his computer use? He was viewing this for years following the initial incident and she did nothing to monitor his use?! Just head in sand and pray = utterly useless.
Pretty frightening to think he may still be out there without his mother’s intervention, considering the labs messed up his DNA result. Very lucky she was the type of person who would do the right thing regardless, instead of being one of the many parents who would attempt to cover up for their criminal kid (the Laundries spring to mind 🤬) Mindy very likely averted a disaster by turning him in, and stopped another tragedy - maybe even serial murders - from occurring.
I keep hearing about traumatic head injuries in relationship to these murderers. This is about the 4th one that mentions this.
I say this because I've seen what those injuries do to people. An ex boyfriend and my brother both were never the same after severe head injuries. They went from smart, sweet, protective young men to dark, mean and sexually inappropriate. I won't go into more detail, but I think this is an area that deserves more study in medical and psychological terms.
It just seems to be an underlying factor in violent behaviors.
Yes interesting...watch movie 'concussion ' about football players...and head injuries..!
He was 12 watching those kind of videos!! I don't understand how people think a church camp will help that. It's just like the Duggars, and we see what happened to Josh.
If a kid has a computer or cell phone and it aint blocked...who knows what types of ish they watchin
Bro every 12 year old watched those videos back in the day lmao
Not even close
I remember this case, so heartbreaking 💔 my heart definitely goes out to the family. U did a great job covering this case. ❤️ ur channels!
“ THIS IS MONSTERS “
My husband and I love your monsters series. Keep up the great work.
Uploaded as soon as I open RUclips. Something is telling me to watch you and I won't question it one bit.
Crimes against children should get the death penalty. They don’t deserve to live….even in prison for the rest of their lives.
Fire up the Woodchipper
And animals. People who kill animals are leading up to these crimes. Sickening!
Nope. Why give the easy way out?
It must be rare for killers to call, confess and turn themselves in.
The few I’ve seen on channels like these. Always like teens or between 18-23. Young. They must panic..
Some more established criminals do it for attention and bragging rights. Some even confess to extras they didn't do.
I was worried about his mother, whether she would survive until the cops arrived. Its so mindless to accuse her of anything regarding her talk with the dispatcher. What if the dispatcher's questions aggravated her son, and led him to killing his mother and fleeing away. We ought to be more sympathetic of her, especially since she had done such a tough job of calling in her son for murder.
That DNA mistake is so alarming. Very glad that neighbor called the police and had them investigate him again.
DNA is accurate, but human error still has to be accounted for and gate-checked.
He actually turned himself in
I love it when I press play and BOOM! the story immediately begins
And not looking at the person telling it is suuuch a bonus
So satisfying
Omg SAME
No stupid lies about 'actually loving this company's before being sponsored, or that they actually approached the sponsor because they just really wanted to promote them on their channel, then advertise an infamously terrible company that sponsors tons of RUclipsrs
I can relate to his mom wanting them to stop asking questions. I have ADHD and when I am highly stressed or overwhelmed, people constantly chattering and asking me rapid fire questions just sends me into sensory overload and makes it hard to think straight or even talk. She already had to hear it from him once, and now the operator is interviewing him and she has to hear it again. I can't imagine that being forced to listen to the details of something this violent again while he's on the phone with 911 is helping her. I can understand wanting to just have the mental space to breathe and think without having to speak.
Either way, he's a piece of shit, and I'm sorry she had the misfortune to be the one to birth him.
@@LightningBoltz blah blah blah person who understands nothing and feels the need to belittle others to feel "superior" blah blah blah...
Can relate. I've been repeatedly accused of lying because unexpected rapid-fire questioning shuts down my ADHD brain but people still want answers; later on, after processing, I can recall things properly and it's very different than what they've already heard me say.
Same, I can't STAND folks rapid-firing questions at me, esp when I know i'mma need to answer them all again- I will just flip out eventually, so you might as well not waste the time. I'd have hung up the call when the operator kept going.
Seriously?
Understanding where somebody is coming from doesn't mean I agree with them. Calm down everybody.
My youngest daughter was just barely younger than Jessica. The would have been in 5th grade at the same time. We live in Idaho. This is so horrific, I cannot even imagine!
side note, 911 did amazing and here is why. the mom called in on the tip line NOT 911. the tip line NOT recorded the operator was VERY smart and transferred the call to local dispatch so the call could be recorded!!
The operator was as dumb as they get. I hope she'll get Darwin's award one day for her stupidity.
I dealt with morons like her with mannerisms of "don't bother me" and "I'm a police officer" even though she's not, just some dumb civilian whos bad at her job. Wishing her and all morons like her swift dispatch without help of dispatch.
You ain't gonna get half of what I wrote because your as dumb as her. Prove me wrong
5 hours to release an Amber Alert? That needs to happen much more quickly.
Should have been 5 minutes
It's frustrating, but more often than not it's either a case where there's a custody dispute and the father basically kidnaps the kid on the way to or from the school, or the kid ran away from home. The parent(s) always swear up and down that their kid wouldn't run away, they're happy, there's no behavioral issues, no issues going on in the home etc... but it usually turns out the kid _did_ actually run away and there _was_ issues in the home.
Even though it's obviously more common with teenagers, they often decided to stay at a friend's without telling the parent(s) or run off with a boyfriend they were forbidden to see.
As we saw earlier in this video, there _was_ in fact a custody dispute going on and the father had assault charges against him. It makes sense to investigate this before spending the time and resources to issue an Amber Alert.
@@Bubba__Sawyer ??? Seriously? It doesn't matter if it's a parent who kidnaps a child, if he had grabbed her on the way to school, unauthorized, telling no one, and doesn't have primary custody it's still a KIDNAPPING! Still needs an immediate Amber alert. Amber alerts go out on parental kidnappings frequently. It is still an urgent situation.
You never know what a desperate parent is going to do with a child, especially if they have mental health issues, or a history of domestic abuse.
Look up how many parents have killed their children, when in the midst of divorce and/or custody battles. It's alarming.
@@Bubba__Sawyerit's why the missing children on milk cartons have been discontinued: most "missing children" were teens who had snuck out of home either for partying or after a fight with their parents, or children who has been abducted by either parent after or during a divorce, few strangers kidnapping and killing them
I’d love to hear you cover the Megan Huntsman story, it’s absolutely unbelievable that a mom could be so cruel.
After watching all the way to the end and hearing what he actually did to Jessica, his voice on the 911 call was surprisingly child like for someone so fucked up
Well …. He himself was still a child. As to why he sounded child like
He was a child - that’s why
I’ve lived in Colorado most of my life. I remember this crime and many others.
To me, animals (pets) and children are off-limits. They are innocent. Anyone who harms and animal or child needs to be destroyed with extreme prejudice. Monsters need to be destroyed.
💺⚡ or 💉
very basic understanding of justice but ok
@Frank couldn’t agree more. We should be protecting the vulnerable, not harming them.
Not just kids and animals. Virtually anyone who's harmed has a family/loved ones who are damaged/destroyed by what has happened. So many are traumatized by these monstrous events. Too often, these perps are sexual predators and are into torture porn, as mentioned in the video. they need increasing amounts of gore/violence/ torture for sexual gratification, and they turn themselves loose on society. SICK!
I dunno, some kids do deserve an ass whooping from time to time.
My lil cousins went thru a phase where they thought punching people in the balls at random was funny.
That was until they tried that shit with
me. That was the day when my rules about self-restraint and never harming children had to evolve, for those little shits!
I wish you would cover the Michelle "Shelly" Knotek case because it's insane how she had complete control over grown adults to do horrible things to themselves & I feel you would cover it better than everyone else has. You always do such an amazing job. Love you!
Check out Danielle Kirstys channel. She JUST covered Shelly. The book “If You Tell” was fantastic. One of the best abuse/control stories I’ve ever heard.
@@kulaniwarner7262 she did a great job covering that case for sure! I’m very surprised more True Crime You Tubers don’t cover that case, it’s insane! She is definitely a monster for sure!
@@shadygirlxoxo I COMPLETELY agree with you. It's one of the craziest non-fiction books I've ever read in my life. We all have different experiences so that doesn't mean much I suppose. I was in Washington when she was/is there ( I know she was on parole a year or two ago) but I really hesitate when it comes to truly effed up people. I don't want to get in the crosshairs haha. But the control she had was unreal and I want to understand it.
Rest In Peace to sweet, beautiful Jessica, and all the love to her family.
The respect/empathy for the victims and their families just adds to your top notch story telling. Also - I don’t know how to describe it, but your voice is perfect for this kind of thing. I have been a fan since day 1 and you just keep getting better. Incredibly informative, detail oriented, respectful, and you have a way of eloquently expressing your disdain for these monsters.
Some of these stories are absolutely horrendous, (this one for sure) I imagine that all of your in-depth research in these cases can take a toll on your mental. I really hope you give yourself a break from time to time. True fans and loyal viewers/listeners would totally understand and respect you taking that time to reset.
Anyway - thanks the content, as a true crime fanatic, I look forward to your videos. This is the only channel I have a specific alert for.
Fuck yeah MONSTERS!
All of these stories are horrendous, you've just been innured to the horror by constant exposure. You're not aware of it because it's subliminal and most people lack self awareness.
@@pretorious700 I’m obviously aware that these stories are horrendous...
@@pretorious700 there’s nothing subliminal about how horrendous these stories are. So I’m not sure what you’re getting at.
Such great content. The quality and pace you upload videos blows my mind.

Yeah, his mom was just trying to escape the most horrible situation she'd ever be in. And she was probably worried about the danger from her son if he got too frustrated.
I wish he would have killed me

Hello i love the little segments that show the real people talking of the case. It was perfect amount not too long not too short. I read a comment that suggested you should come back to that format and I’m actually glad makes the case more personal.
Mindy was put in the most horribly impossible no-win situation which any mother would dread. She is a hero for having helped put her bad seed away for life.
R.I.P. JESSICA RIDGEWAY
Thank you
@@mindysigg4516 my heart goes out to you 💔
Thank you for spending a bit of time addressing the 911 call. Coffeehouse Crime covered this case a couple of months back and half the comments were idiots criticizing the 911 operator, mainly asking why she's asking "all these dumb questions" and not "sending help" seemingly not understanding that the 911 operator is able to both ask questions to the caller and also communicate with dispatch at the same time.
It is crucial for the 911 operator to gather as much evidence as possible so that the police or other emergency services that have been dispatched know what kind of a situation they're walking into. People don't call 911 and turn themselves in every day, especially in a case like this. In fact, it's more likely that someone confessing to a crime over 911 is actually a prank caller.
Certain information has to be established for a multitude of reasons. If the 911 operator didn't ask about Austin's demeanor/behavior then for all the operator and dispatch know, he could be irate, panicking and be waiting behind the front door with an axe when the cops get there. They don't know what kind of situation they're walking into if they're not able to establish/confirm certain things.
Then there's the fact that 911 calls are always a key point of evidence during an interrogation and then later at trial. Some cases have even hinged on the details of a 911 call. Information gathering during a 911 call is absolutely crucial to every crime and investigation.
First this is a horrible story. I got a little emotional thinking about what she must have felt. Very good narrative ending. Perfect execution there.
That poor little girl.....I can't even stand to think about how scared she was. Not allowed to happen...ever.
Finally!! I've been waiting for your upload, although I'm curious when Somewhere Sinister will have a new upload? 🤔
I'm a huge fan of your 2 channels and love your work, thank you for all you and your team does, please keep the videos coming!!!
I’ve been busy since moving and my friend who works on SS with me has been on vacation. He’s back next week and we’re gonna get back to work on that. Thanks for watching!
Ewu crime just covered this but so much more detail was presented here. I get the feeling this monster's mother in part felt the same way a lot of us do when we're listening to 911 dispatchers ask a million questions during the worst moment of a person's life. The first thing they do is get the locations address so they can send first responders out immediately then their job is to get her as much detail as possible, and often those details are used in court if there's a criminal case. But it's difficult to not recognize that for many, this about the worst time to play a game of 20 questions. So I figure that was part of the reason she was trying to rush things. Also she was probably needing emotional support....she wanted to call the father of her monster child.
Such a terrifying case, as they all are. But it's every parents worst nightmare to have their child for missing... then to find out your child died, in pain, tortured, afraid, and alone? Idk how a parent deals with reality after that.
Always excited to see your uploads! This is the quickest I've ever caught one haha. This case sounds very interesting and I'm all buckled up and ready to go.
Imagine how you would feel finding out that the child that you gave life to, nurtured and cared for so diligently… would be responsible for that level of sheer depravity?…. Unthinkable……
Poor girl never stood a chance…. RIP ♥️
I don't know if you know Josh Philips (he was 14 when he murdered 8-year-old Maddie Clifton), and his mother found her corpse. You can find her detailed description online of it - very chilling, but interesting how it is like as a mother to realize your teenage child is a murderer....
Yeah bad parenting creates a ton of problems
@@z.z.1876 we had three boys 15,16,17stab a man 60 times and drowned him in the canal in our town for literally nothing, the 17 year olds mum washed his clothes and posted a picture on Facebook of both of them with their middle fingers up and making jokes taunting everyone. she got ran out of the town and had her house broken into numerous times. I’m not saying the reaction to it was right but she asked for it and put her other kids in danger too. even worse people were spray painting free them all over the town, yet spelt their names wrong? I don’t even get it.
Really???
Aggigator
thanks for the amazing uploads! watching from Ottawa Canada
Rape is such a disgusting act that people would admit to murder before rape.
There’s no one who says GTFOH better than this is monsters.
I hit the like button as I begin the video, I just know I'm going to like it. I don't think you have ever put out a video I haven't found interesting. Thank you for all your hard work. Monsters is one of, if not the best crime channels.
Being peppered with a ton of questions is annoying at the BEST of times (and can cause sensory overload for neurodivergent people), nevermind a high-stress situation like your child just confessing to murder. Given that ALL of this was information the officers could have gotten on scene, there was no need to keep pushing with the questions beyond "where are you? any weapons? is he calm?" which are ACTUALLY relevant for the cops arriving.
Thank you for bringing back audio/video footage from the case!
6 year old Jenise Wright was killed by high schooler Gabriel Gaeta in a town near me in Washington state. He went to her vigil, commented condolences on fb to her brother.
There’s a lot more but the whole story is fucked up. I’d love to hear you cover it.
I truly felt if he didn’t confess he’d never stop. Poor Jessica 💔
she was my neighbor, we’re the same age. we were supposed to graduate together:/ Rest In Peace beautiful we miss you so much
What happened to her dog?
I’m so so sorry
His mom sounds like she's freaking out not incredulous. Her son just confessed to killing & dismembering a child in her house & she has to sit there looking at him & has to answer questions. I bet all she wanted to do was get him & the body parts out if there & probably wants to sit & process the whole situation & cry.
I get excited every time you upload
Glad somebody's finally covering this. Remember this like it was yesterday.
Can I just add from Psychology Today (by Ramsland - the superwoman who interviewed BTK for example) :
"Sigg was 17 when he did these things. He’s clearly eligible for the category, “callous-unemotional (C-U),” one of the precursor conditions in juveniles for adult psychopathy. This means that he has limited empathy, a lack of remorse for causing harm, and shallow emotional qualities to his relationships. Juveniles with high C-U traits can judge others’ points of view, but have a blunted emotional response."
and further:
"One twin study tells us that antisocial behavior coupled with high C-U appears to be heritable, particularly for males. Environmental circumstances (such as Sigg’s interest in death) can trigger risk factors for acting out. Due to their indifferent attitudes, it has seemed unlikely that these juveniles would ever respond to treatment.
However, the good news is that C-U traits appear to be somewhat malleable; thus, they’re manageable. According to a recent report, some studies show that juveniles with high C-U traits can improve their emotional literacy & develop prosocial responses, but the treatment must be consistent, intense, and individualized. That is, it must be tailored to a child’s unique cognitive, motivational and emotional style. Thus, it will be expensive."
Psychopathy expert Kent Kiehl:" ..such person-focused programs (used at the Mendota Juvenile Treatment Centerin Madison, WI) to reduce recidivism, could reduce youth violence by fifty percent.
MJTC studies have shown that for every $10,000 the Department of Corrections invested in treatment, you save $70,000 in the next four-year period. Over the life of that offender [if it's successful], it’s millions of dollars.”
The accessibility of violent pornography terrifies me! We have learnt to roll our eyes at the idea of “twinky defences”, like “A Stephen King story made me shoot-up the school”, or was it a De Caprio movie scene? “The video game Halo made me do it” or any other violent video game or movies…
…I think that young minds & pornography, particularly violent porn is a VERY different MONSTER!!!
Mom was like “come and get this crazy mf out of my house”. But this is one hit me differently from all the other stories. All of them are disturbing and sad, but something about this one really triggered me.
This is so insane and sad. RIP Jessica.
I don’t know how Jessica’s parents can cope with all those sick details. It can’t get any worse. ❤️ for Jessica’s family.
No sleep for me
I was 20 when I was SA’d by a teenager, 17 year old. It didn’t matter that I was older than him, he was bigger than me since I’m 5’0 at the time 110 pounds and he was over 6ft tall not sure about his weight, but more than me! Something that bugs me is that many people think that it’s shocking for a teenager to be able to overpower an adult or have evil behaviors!!!! They can!!
I know Men can suffer from DA from their partners , but being male , they still have the advantage of being stronger than a female, so the fear is not the same for them..
I feel so good, when I hear that the victims are able to fight off their attackers!!! Kudos to them!!! I especially liked the story you told of the victim that fought her attacker off, and, when they were in the court room, she spoke, and, before she turned to take her seat, she looked at him and asked, "how's your nose?" That was the icing on the cake! Sorry that I can't remember his name.
After listening to many and singling out 3-4 who are well researched & choose a platform that's interesting, I come bk here time after time bc of how you present your material. Well done!! Exemplary.
There was a lot of false information with this case. I can tell you the truth.
I moved to Westminster from a tougher neighborhood in NY literally just before this. I moved with my lady at the time, since it was gonna be safer and cheaper. And then it was like, uh oh. Just goes to show there's monsters everywhere. In fact, I sometimes wonder if CO has some of the worst ones.
It really seems that way... And here, too, in NM where I live.... The things that a person can do to another is really frightening....
there are so many horror stories from around here, especially up by stanley lake
Same here. We moved to Westminster that year from Southern California. :/. Wanted my daughter to live in a kinder welcoming area…..
I’m so sorry
My youngest son, eighteen, to this day, won't go anywhere alone because of this. My oldest son went to school with Austin, and when he was in elementary, both of them. We lived five homes down and across the street, and one and a half blocks from Chelsea Park. Now know as Jessica Ridgeway Memorial Park. At 9:04 in the video, they show the homes across from where we lived.
I never realized my involvement in the vigils, ballon release, posting fliers, and searches (which my youngest wasn't a part of - searches) or helping get the name of the park changed through the mayor, would cause my youngest a life time of fear.
This was one of several tragedies that would plague our community, Witt Elementary and Standley Lake HS.
The entire tragedy changed so many lives, including Jessica's mom, aunt, and my son.
RIP Jessica! It's just awful what happened to you!!
Austin was in AP classes with my son's friends. They said he was pleasant, smart, and "normal" by their standards in his class behavior. How can anyone ever know who to trust when you know of these situations firsthand. 😢
I remember this vividly because I live in the area and my daughter was the same age as Jessica at the time. I still can't believe how young he was to commit such depraved acts of violence. RIP, Jessica.
I’m so sorry
Thank you for sharing these stories!
So sad 😞
One of the sickest cases I’ve ever heard, it was really hard to listen to the whole thing without tearing up ,RIP Jessica R ❤️ fly high angel 😢
Every parents nightmare on both sides. This was heartbreaking. RIP Sweet Jessica 💞 Her family needs to stay in our prayers 🤲
I often think of this poor girl and her loving Mom and gmom. You know it’s a tragic loss when a gmom talks about even missing her granddaughters little toots!!!
I kinda remembered this. Her name is really familiar. It seems like this one kinda got me a little emotional when it was revealed what happened to her on the news, cause I was really hoping she would be found alive. It's really sad. She looked like a really sweet girl and she didn't deserve what happened to her, and neither did her family.
"Jessica liked being independent, so she asked her parents for an alarm clock."
...God if it were only that easy
26:00 Thank you for following up on the DNA, that had me so confused until you clarified.
Been following your channel for a long time. Perfect audio, research and voice!!!
I grew up in Littleton CO so this case hits home. It was huge news when it happened. RIP beautiful girl
Grew up in Northglenn, this case broke my heart. So tragic.
Lots of dark history in Littleton.
Might take a break from true crime for a bit after hearing this one, hurt to listen to that story.
@@BulkernatorKerb unfortunately yeah there is.
@@BulkernatorKerb Lots of dark history in Bailey, CO
Wtf... Oh my Goodness, what a sick human being.. 😲
Yes - he is absolutely a monster. No doubt.
R.i.P. to little Jessica. 🕯️😢
Poor Jessica suffered so much. I wouldn't take issue if they drew and quartered Austin Sigg. He's a disgusting creature with no redeeming qualities.
Great work as usual! 🏆
Top notch presentation.
Sad case. 💔
Ummm is anyone disturbed that the DNA that was tested at first was not properly ran and they made a “mistake” which resulted in it not being a match!! So without his confession, Austin would of pretty much flew under the radar and gotten away with it 🤔 that is absolutely disturbing to think that if that happened in this case, how many other cases has this happened or something similar!! 😳
I’m so glad we didn’t know that
Thanks for the video Mr. Monsters
Not being able to handle an adult, he turned to the more vunerable
As someone who is studying to be a mortician, this is sickening.
Do you think anything would have been different had Jessica's mother hadn't been asleep when the school called her? I can't shake the feeling that she might have still been alive at that point... and my heart breaks for her mom, who probably is haunted by that thought every day of her life.
Maybe. But it’s tough. It’s not the mothers fault. Sleeping while she went to school was her normal schedule. She couldn’t stay awake all day just I’m case. I hope she doesn’t feel guilty.
unless there were a lot of witnesses to the kidnapping to point police in the right direction right away, i kinda doubt it tbh, since he did not keep her alive very long.
take my opinion with a grain of salt though.
Mostly they are dead within an hour
His sickness should have been properly addressed at 12. So sad for both the families and the victiim.. R.I.P. Jessica
I actually laughed when he said 'the only other trouble I've been in was a speeding ticket' as if this will lessen the blow he receives from the legal system
..his juvenile mindset🙄
Damn..... I know u said at the beginning of this series that these things don't happen as often as we think......but how could he just decide to take her and..... how?????? Poor baby...... as a mom this series is raising tf out of my anxiety........
I'm sure you're a better,
more attentive mother than Austin Sigg's mother. Jiles has conveniently left out how irresponsible and neglectful she was.
Apart from leaving a 12-year-old alone with uncensored internet access to browse violent child pornography and not getting him the help he needed, I also found this:
Austin Sigg Practiced Zip Tying his mother before kidnapping, raping and dismembering 10-year-old Jessica Ridgeway
The depraved murderer then bound the girl's hands and feet with zip ties - a move he practiced before the kidnapping on his mother Mindy Sigg, the Denver Post reports. The killer's mom also joked with friends about her son's sick fascination with body decomposition, part of his bizarre fixation on mortuary science
Austin Sigg's brother even told a psychologist the convicted murderer "was learning how to kill people and be able to get away with it" in one of his community college classes, the Post reports.

At least where I live they doctor the crime statistics to make it look like things have gotten better rather than worse, don't know if they do that in America as well, probably depends on the state, here it's national. The media also have a very short attention span and much of what go's on only ends up in local papers or not even that, the media also readily suppress anything touchy or inconvenient to broader narratives.
