The Camgirl Who Became a Murderer... | The Case of Melissa Turner
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 июн 2024
- When semi-famous camgirl "Two Thorned Rose" Melissa Turner was taken into custody shortly after the death of her boyfriend Matthew Trussler, the internet couldn't fathom her guilt. As time passed, the evidence available would suggest a cold-hearted murderer - far from the warm personality those knew Melissa for.

I've been trying to improve my lighting for months now... turns out all I had to do was forget to turn on one of the lights 😂💡Please share your thoughts on this case below, have a great week, and stay safe. Love you!
The lighting looks great, Adrian. ✌🏼💚
If I'm being honest, it looks just a bit too bright. But thank you so much for your excellent content.
Amazing work as always, you really spoil us!
Lower your fill light and add a rim light (to give more depth). Also a rim light is the light that highlights your shoulder and hair, it's placed opposite your key light (main light)
Lighting is now perfect 👌 you were looking a little Simpson-like last week haha. Great content as per.
I am Matthew's mother
Thank you for your kind portrayal of him
Matthew was a victim of domestic violence and control. He was a lovely gentle boy
I am so very sorry for your loss. I wish for you to find peace in knowing he will always be with you.*Hugs* ❤️
I am so sorry! I cannot imagine how painful this must be for you.
🙏🏼
I am so sorry for your loss, sadly he meet a person that took advantage of his kindness he deserved better. Sending so many blessings to you and the family.
ah sorry it was the first guy.. my bad
It’s sad that “I hate you” was one of the last sentences he heard after getting stabbed by someone he thought he loved.
@question everything "star"?
That's not what she was.
@question everythingquestion your preconceptions
its insane... her jail sentence is a walk in the park as well.. she will be out in 10-15 years... trash system
@question everything That isn't REMOTELY what the word "sexist" implies. Everyone should be held accountable for their actions. I get very pissed when a woman gets less time than a man for the same crime. I want equality in ALL facets...that includes taking responsibility. Period.
@Lou Danny Malacts I'm a feminist, but your comment made me laugh for five minutes! 😂😃😂
Matt was such a kind person. I had the pleasure of working with him. He was one of my managers and he was kind, sweet, hard working. My heart goes out to his family. ❤
Matthew was NAIVE. N E V E R date a "Camgirl".
Matthew looks like a really sweet, secure, and genuine guy. Rest in peace, gone too soon.
Why does the good man died by deranged woman .
@@princessstarpeach9161 He's a MAN he should be able to walk away, these toxic relationships are always the same, they deserve each other, bad judges of character. Best to stay single and eat popcorn as you watch true crime videos of other peoples shitty relationships. It's always the same story, it actually gets boring. Stay single and happy, these days as soon as you enter a relationship it's like women assume complete ownership of you, as their property, I've had friends who i no longer spend time with who literally give their freedom up to their woman, it's wrong and I want no part in modern relationships unless it's level playing field. Women have way too much power in relationships, more than most people care to even talk about, but men are to blame for letting this happen. In a partnership you are supposed to be partners, not one have power over the other. I'm actually getting tired of hearing these stories and feeling sorry for whoever got killed, they put themselves in that position, i've lost all empathy for the victims, they have plenty of chance to get away. Stupid is as stupid does, there's usually a mutual benefit in toxic relationships, that's why they stay together, until it turns brutal or ends badly.
@@tigerstripey4885 hello red flags much!? are you a criminal in the make?
I can definitely see why you're single
he looks like a looser/beta to me
From shy, lonely fat girl, to cosplay model, to adult film star and finally in prison for murder... that escalated quickly
The American dream
Sounds like a show written by Vince Gilligan after breaking bad and better call Saul.
As a shy, lonely fat girl I hope I don’t end up like that
@@2bdaqueen268 well that's kinda up to you so I wouldn't worry about it too much
@@benhawk4214 yeah true but being sickly and ugly the world slowly chips away at you, and I already have some level of psychosis and anxiety and I may be schizophrenic but I’m on meds now so who knows
I absolutely hate when a murderer tries to make themself a victim.
For women it's especially the go to.
@@SkyExplosion yes, absolutely, like Jodi Arias. Printed ugly t-shirts with the text "Survivor", like she was a survivor of domestic violence. It disgusts me.
But some men who have killed their wives comes up with ridiculous excuses that their wife were abusing their children.
It's satisfying when the evidence are strong enough to disprove their lies.
They only do it because it works. Blame the legal system that allows it and juries that fall for it.
@@SkyExplosion I mean what else are you gonna do , you gotta either say 1) You didn’t do it 2) I’m insane 3) it wasn’t my fault
No sane murderer is gonna just tell the truth LOL
@@pumpkinwarrior7138 you’re a little too defensive there. See you on the next video.
I don't understand how you can take someone's whole life and not get life in prison. Murder should result in life in prison.
Welcome to America. Canada has problems with its justice system, too.
Murrica
@@p2kCrimeyeah that pretty much sums it up
In the US justice system gender has an massive influence on guilt and punishment. But since the application of truly equal justice would make things much worse for the protected gender this severe imbalance is considered perfectly acceptable.
Be a decent looking female.
I had an ex pull a knife on herself after a dumb argument in my parents apartment when it was just us together. I talked her out of it and she put it back then proceeded to walk towards the living room window (2nd floor) and pushed the screen out acting like she was going to jump. I again talked her out of it and she went home. I broke up with her after that, but like all other stupid people in toxic relationships we got back together and later on she cheated on me… some people are just crazy and you need to stay far away from them once they show it. 🤦🏻♂️
Sounds like bpd lmaooo
*GUARANTEE* she was cheating on you the whole time.
@@opo3628 you’re not helping or adding anything productive here
I personally think the 20 yr sentence was not enough. She took a life of what sounds like a wonderful man who loved her 😞
Women usually get light sentences
and her callous actions after, yeah she definitely had no remorse over killing him beyond getting caught.
@@AdamSmasherReal spoken like someone who doesn’t understand sentencing
Yeah but Florida.
@@animefan7424 L
They gave her a plea for 25 years... Meaning 25 years is a good deal for the crime if she just admits guilt. She declined it. Got convicted. And got 20 years. How you get less time than the "deal" offered? The Justice system is trash.
Plea deals aren't necessarily what they will get. Anything can happen during trial so that's probably how she got less time, due to things you can't really control for: like jury, how strong the prosecutor/defense arguments are, etc. Plea deals are nice because they make proceedings quick, but they don't always entice.
white female paint her black 40 years black male death or life make her 10 times hotter and rich probation or a 50 dollar fine make her famous not guilty lol
Basically because she’s a pretty female
@tonyamartin1425 honestly just make her a man and it's life, fuxking tired of this inequality bull shit, she should have fucking life
@@Gosmoke. she wasn't even pretty big boobs doesn't equal beauty
As someone who was an abusive relationship with my spouse, I found it hard to get by. Other people didn't believe me, others said I need to man up, some said I need to abuse back because that is what she deserved, then a few said I need to divorce her. I ended up divorcing her though it wasn't an easy process as she kept dodging the divorce papers in nearly every way. Even in court she tried to convince the judge that the papers are not bond due to one part of her name being misspelled slightly even though she signed every page and agreed to the terms. All the things she had done to me was taxing and nearly ruined who I could have been right now. She even had friends over telling them how horrible I was, then walks to the room I was in to attack me and yell at me about a blanket. Even after she stopped and I asked her why she is doing this to me her friends still supported her actions.
As a man, trying to get support of an abusive relationship is tricky. Matthew should have received the proper care from her and the legal system should have given her the proper punishment anyone else (or any man in her position) should have received.
A very well earned like 👍
sorry u went through that man, women can be horrible, im glad ur through the other side bro
Sorry you had to deal with that man. The “system” favors women not men. It’s fucked up. Men keep getting bashed for being privileged blah blah all that bullshit that’s not even true.
Yet when men really need help there aren’t any systems for us to go to. Compared to women. And society and most don’t believe men or double standards of “tough up” or “let it go”. No honoring of feelings. Just shut up and man up. Fucked up and honestly what is making matters worse in our society.
Your story is the least bit suprising. Only until recently, through social media, I've learned how vicious women can be and it doesn't help that her "friends" reinforce her bad habits and the courts do not take women abusing men seriously. the fact the woman in the clip got only 20 years is insane.
i lived with this sort of abuse for ten years, the authorities never took me seriously i was arrested on many occasions, thank you for your candid approach.
The irony of Matthew posting what he achieved in 25 years only for it all to be taken away. She deserves at least that much time behind prison. He genuinely looks like a good dude. RIP bro.
She only got 20 years...
He was a Simp that fell for a sex worker and paid the price.
@@kevindeas7106 - Women always get less time, it's infuriating. And feminists don't care at all, so remember that the next time they claim to care about equality.
You literally dont know anything about him and you're judging him on literally three pictures of the guy
@@jeffbrownstain EXACTLY. we DONT know how he treated her at all.
I’m 5’10” 185 pounds and was physically abused by a crazy ex that was half my size for two years. It got to a point where I was afraid to go to sleep thinking she would cut my throat in the middle of the night. The last straw was when she slapped me ( as she often did just because ) and I told her that I’m going to call the police. To which she responded “go ahead, who do you think they’ll believe? A big man like you or the scared little woman I’ll make sure they see”. I left that night and never looked back. But it occurred to me that men suffer at the hands of abusive woman just as much as women through men, but the stigma of being a “pussy” as well as the abuser knowing every angle to make them look like the victim, is what keeps men from ever reporting it.
Yes. I don't think people realize that this occurs all too often. It is just not right. I am sorry this happened to you.
Big facts my man. There really should be more awareness about these situations. It’s a legal nightmare trying to fight these sort of allegations. The more “manly” your past and present are the more ammo women like that have. I got medically retired from the army for PTSD had an ex call the cops saying she was scared of me because I was being wild and violent towards her she was banging on things screaming and crying for me to “stop” when I was literally on the other side of the house… LOCKED inside a room…on the phone with my brother. I’ve struggled with my past and a decade of therapy with those struggles at the time. I had been violent in self defense and also in a blackout state which was ONLY achieved when severely pressed into flashing back because of triggers. I was intentionally put in these positions by several women. The same ex later called me abusive, irresponsible, an addict, all kinds of things to CPS I did the classes complied showed my truth and they still wouldn’t believe I didn’t attack my ex in front of “her child” the newborn I was taking care of by myself while she partied and did coke with her side pieces… in all fairness I was barely 100lbs literally skin and bone, sleep deprived, depressed, struggling to fix my marriage but entirely focus on full time newborn care, couldn’t keep food down, no car, paying all the bills, and my coked up wife walks in demanding to take the newborn to who knows where with pupils the size of goofballs in her eyes and I refused. The baby was present but asleep. I called my dad to ask for advice as to how to handle this and she just starts up her bullying, which was fine. But then she started the triggers. Harder to resist. How the army didn’t want me and nobody wants me and she doesn’t want me cuz I’m all kinds of pieces of shit. Things I’ve felt about myself and trusted her with. Right in the feels. My dad is saying something I can’t hear because blood is swirling so loudly in my head she starts moving towards the baby I step between them and say you’re not taking her like this. Im standing my grown at this point. My ex is a former boxer and much larger and heavier and healthier than I was physically at that point. I used to LET her hit me because I knew where it was coming from and I thought if I just took it and got her help she’d “go back” to “who” she was when we got together. I never fought back cuz “I can take it.” I’ve got a lot of fighting experience plus my time in the army. So I can handle myself even for a little guy I am freakishly able for my size (5’ 2). I mustered every bit of strength I had to keep her from taking that baby. A baby a i thought was OUR daughter at the time. I’ve come to learn the truth since. Anyway I pulled a straight up mama bear and threw the phone as hard as I could when she made up her mind she was going for it. I kinda of popped out of my body and I couldn’t do anything but watch as all took place. I didn’t encourage her not to press charges, I volunteered to take her to the hospital and explain to the doctors myself what had happened. She refused and drove herself. Lied to the doctors told me she was ready to work things out and then moved her ex into our home that I paid for. I left the next night. Her friends and family begged me to call cps for the kids sake and then everyone threw me under the bus and basically just acted like I was a monster and no one ever felt safe around me the person the called for everything. I cut ties with everyone kids included which hurt the most. Divorced her and moved on with my life. But i don’t feel like I’m okay with being stepdad material. She had a son I’d raised with her for 4 years. Only missing out on the first few months of his life because we hadn’t met yet. I was the only “daddy” he knew for the longest time. We had a great bond. He loved my family as well. She lost the house and everything we’d built together… but I lost value in having values, I turned my back on certain morals. Just because it can be used against me to ruin my life. I can do everything right and some people will still cut me down for it. And if I tell anyone about it…. Or complain… I run the risk of being a lil “bitch” about it. I used to be quite comfortable crying and feeling. Now I feel but it never shows. I smile when I must but even at a comedy show I’m really enjoying I sit stoned face laughing on the inside. I try to make myself look as unapproachable as ever. I look like the uni bomber when I go out. Hoodie hat jeans boots in the summer. In the winter… coat over a hoodie with a hat and jeans and boots. At functions I dress appropriately which is usually when people realize I am approachable but you only see that if I actually know and trust the person or organization to go. And of course there’s work me. Work me just works. I’m not there to make friends. I’m there to earn my pay and work. I’m really a gentle and understanding person. But my past with mental health and the military makes me such a target for this kind of stuff. This is the first time I’ve shared this with anyone ever but it is a real phenomenon that happens and people are so closed off to it as if it really just can’t happen because of the differences between a man a woman. Even when the odds are in your favor… when you’ve got the truth…. It means nothing against a web of lies and misconceptions. Thank you for sharing and I hope you found a better life. I’m sorry you had to experience that. And I hope you never have to again.
My best friend got attacked by his ex. Took 2 years for the state to basically say they wouldn't prosecute... Because he's a man. I got to explain that legal language to him. Yeah...
JD just paved the way for all male victims of DV. Please report it. Step up. The public will have your back. Be truthful and speak up. DV has no gender.
True. Hear hear. That is why Johnny Depp's case wasn't just a Hollywood drama. Important stuff to show. Happens all the time.
Solid presentation, no overblown sound effects. Even smooth tone. No bloated Opinions. My friend (if I may be so presumptuous) you are a pocket of fresh air as i trudge through the stagnant true crime genre.

I watch a lot of crime podcast and shows. And I definitely appreciate the way you tend to give light to the victims versus giving these killers the attention some of them crave.

@@drewsima4388 him and Simon from casual criminalist and his writers doing amazing job with that as well. But I definitely love coffee houses style

@@Odayian420 OMG YES! Simon’s great, his writers are the greatest. I watch literally…half of his channels. I know, impressive, isn’t it? 😏
It also drastically disturbs me that the judge had to KNOW she turned down a 25 year plea deal and then gave her LESS time than the plea.
This means that she turned down the plea to try her luck in court. She was correct to turn down the plea, as the court was better than the plea.
Mr personally I believe plea bargain violate the constitution in such a fundamental way that plea deals should be banned. You should not be able to forfeit your right to a trial by a jury of your peers. Too many people take the plea out of poverty. They can't afford a lawyer, so they get an overworked, underpaid public attorney. Plea bargains are unjust.
Thanks for reading my rant
She got that because of her female privilege that's never talked about.
The judge appointed to a court case is *NOT* supposed to know the plea offers or negotiations between defense and prosecution, _until they present their _*_agreed-upon ‘deal’_*_ to the judge for consideration._ At that time, the judge is not bound to the plea deal that was agreed by the two parties - but may choose to accept or refuse it.
This is one of my three favorite story channels. What appeals to me about Coffeehouse Crime is that it makes me feel like I’m chilling at my house with family and friends discussing whatever weird shit that happened to us in the day. That said, this case is definitely crazy.
It's genuinely weird to live in an era wherein we can look up a murderer and see their nudes before their crimes.
i don't think the nudes exist anymore or her channels.
I’ll look at both 🤷🏾♂️

Men can suffer abuse as well, this poor man was the victim of abuse both mental and physical unfortunately, he lost his life to his abuser. If you ask me, she should spend the rest of her life behind bars for what she did. Nothing can bring back Matthew of course but she should never get to breathe the same air his family. This man sounded like a kind stand-up guy it's sad he found a predator instead of a princess.
I'd be curious to know how long she actually spends in jail. I'm guessing she'll be let out early, and then given a flat to live in afterwards.
Yep. I'm a guy and I have a girlfriend like this. I stupidly bought a house together with her. Earlier she was daring me to hit her and she'd taunt me and laugh saying "you're such a soft weakling. I can do anything I want to you and you just take it. You can't hit me back even if you wanted because I'll just claim a bunch of things and you'd be in jail in a heart beat". So I just pretty much take it.
As I type this, I hear her on the other side of the door right now verbally insulting me into oblivion. Believe it or not, this is one of the better days. Right now she's calling me "loser, I'll never be anything in life, wimp" and she's telling me that I should just slam my head on my desk until I pass out.
I never even raise my voice at her and I randomly give her hugs and try to hold her hand and she just flings my hand away and says she should've found a real man.
Whenever I try to leave, she calls and texts every 2 minutes wondering where I am. Going to work is a god send because it's my time away from her. I have no idea how to leave this woman.
You’ve been doing this 3 years! Where have I been? My new favorite channel. Thank you for all you do. ☕️
This is such a sad story, being murdered by your partner who you thought loved you dearly. I can’t even imagine the terror Matthew experienced during the final moments of his life. RIP Matthew.
🙏😢
Never understood the phrase "I can't imagine" (or especially "you can't imagine") as an invalidating argument. I certainly can imagine.
I realize this doesn't have much to do with your comment, but you made me think on it.

After all that bs and her losing in court, she still received a lesser sentence then her plea deal when it was proven she was a cold blooded killer.
Women privilage.
American justice system is awesome right lol
Yeah replace this woman with a man and I guarantee he'd be under the jail. But then again, sometimes the system just gets it flat out wrong
@@StaggerjAGGER true.
"man privilages".
I worked with a guy many years ago that got beaten by his wife. He had actually called the police on multiple occasions and took pictures of his bruises and cuts. The final time she struck him from behind with a blunt object and then beat him badly. He left and went to the police and they finally arrested her. He would end spending over 20K on lawyers just to get custody of his 2 children.
I’m sorry for your loss - i am so close to my 21 yr old son and could never imagine how you must feel everyday .. I pray for you and your family … The strength you must have is admirable … Rest in peace to your son .. 🙏🏼❤

28 stab wounds
@@jamiehughes5573 there was not 28 stab wounds. There was a cut on his back.
The medical examiner testified on the stand that the cut on his back was non life threatening and that he could've bled out from the cut on his wrist.
@@MarlzJinx lmao found a simp
I can feel his pain.
When I was living with my ex girlfriend she once said after an argument that she wished I was dead and she hates me. She knew I used to take pills for my anxiety & chest pain everyday or on SOS basis.
Right after the argument I had a weird panic attack and I felt terrible pain in my heart like it was a heart attack. I could not get up or walk properly. I asked for help. She went away and she said help yourself or die. I was denied of pills or medical attention. I can relate a lot with Mathew's story.
Right after that I called my brother myself asking for help and luckily it was just a severe panic attack.
I am single & really happy living with my dog and cats.
Why was she like that toward you? Were you imperfect too?
I am disabled and my bf said he'd move in to take care of me and was always saying he was my carer. one day i had a todds paralysis seizure and my bf got mad at me thinking I was faking, didn't call an ambulance and left me alone for 7 hours knowing I was temporarily paralysed to go visit his "friend" the girl he was cheating on me with. It was at that moment I realised he didn't care about my health or caring for meat all
@@nrgbunni. truly sad. Men can be terrible and selfish.
@@ObsessiveGod Yes. I was suffering with mental illness which made me physically weak too. But she knew all that.
Anyway. I have moved on. I don't want to blame her.
I just realized there aren't enough people on earth who understands mental health is sometimes out of control too. That is why I gave up and now I live alone. I genuinely don't expect anybody.
But yeah. I do know how it feels like.
@@nrgbunni. I am so sorry to hear that. They don't understand it's not the sympathy we want. We want to be understood so that they know what are our limits or what they are getting into. I hope you have found peace by now and are happy. I wish you a good healthy life! 🙌🏻
This is so crazy because I actually followed her on social media years ago and then just stopped. She kinda fell out of sight out of mind and I never knew any of this had happened. When I saw this video, I recognized her and was shocked! Great video about a very sad and tragic situation.
My brother was abused by his wife, too. The police suspected him at first, even after he'd been the one that had called. I hate that all these other women get away with so many shitty things, just because of their chromosomes. This young man sounded like a good soul. I hope he rests well...
I hate it too when women lie about domestic abuse.
I hope your brother is living a happy life now without her 🤞
No way is 20 year sentence enough for taking someone's life so cold blooded.The fact that she waited 4 hours before calling paramedics and then trying to lie about it shows it wasn't just a "fight gone wrong" where she didn't actually mean it. Cause if it had been, she would've tried to safe him after realizing what she had done. But the fact he had so many self defense wounds just show she kept on going. I feel so bad for Matthew for having to go through that at his last moments. She should've gotten more than the first offered plea deal. Gross.
Maybe being poor an fat makes u less crazy
and she'll no doubt be out in 14 or less "on good behaviour", especially if she strikes up sexual relations with some prison guards and officials.
its ok she'll be too haggard and old to take up her whoring job again
she'll have to turn to full prostitution or get fat again
either way im happy she fucked up and showed that sex workers are usually horrible people
Welcome to the court system, where women get less of a sentence than any male for the same crime.
20 years is enough cause she won't be able to do anything with her life anymore and she will probably be homeless.
I appreciate how you give the victims their due instead of glorifying the killers!
No True Crime Channel glorifies the Killer.
This killer may not have been glorified but neither was she demonized. The narrator was oddly compassionate and deferential as if she just made a terrible mistake or something. In reality she was a conniving killer who will have another attempt at freedom and romance unlike her innocent victim.
@@CAHSR2020 not all people are crazy killers but some of them are broken people who loses their mind and snaps on the world because of the pain they have felt and that is why the often kills. There was this case a few years ago where this 16 year old killed her mother and her stepfather who had been violent to her and her mother her story is on RUclips and this story tells about a so broken person that lost her mind because of the things she went through she was known as the vampirechick and the problem is called that as well here on RUclips. Some killers don't deserve to be serious punishing but should honestly get help to overcome their mental pain. But failed people in the system
@@christiane0801
PTSD is not seldom a huge factor.
Unlike what most may believe: it's not just a "Soldier's Disease".
Being mistreated and raised with malevolence is more than enough to turn someone who
would've otherwise been a normal person into, for example, a sociopath.
Someone whose main concern is not being bored or not being successful.
They lack a, concerning emotional/affective capacity, fully structured brain, and most of their capacity for empathy,
in general as well. Instead they have an easy time analyzing individuals, are cold, calculating
and selfish. Similar to a psychopath, but "made" instead of "born".
If the structural predisposition does not exist, or empathy was still a constant
mental resource supplied throughout the traumatic event...weird things can happen.
PTSD with what almost appears a split personality, when triggered, as another "quirky" development
of a mental disease.
These things do not leave much of "you", what constitutes your being, left.
They devour your ego. All you had learned to overcome the odds is now...
being used against you.
You lose your autonomy. Which is why I find this "Punish first, ask questions later"-mindset detestable, infantile and unproductive.
@@rogaldorn4759 I know all that
I kept trying to figure out why she looked so familiar and I’m 99% sure I went to high school with this girl 😳
Did you really?
I just watch the full interrogation. Then I watched your Channel and it helped to pull everything together. Your attention to details makes it all worthwhile! I appreciate you! Keep up the good work!
Judging by the audio captured on the surveillance footage, it almost sounds as if Matthew was either already incapacitated by the time the "fight" made it outside.. or, even more plausible, he was far too intoxicated to fight back at all. Considering you can only hear her screaming and yelling and hardly any sounds from Matthew can be heard, it's pretty clear that she wasn't "defending" herself from much of anything.
Yea when he read the transcript and it was all her antagonizing Matthew, I knew the poor dude couldn’t even defend himself in his state.
Well it definitely wasn't a premeditated murder. Otherwise it would have been much clearer. They definitely had a fight so we dont know what he did so horrible to provoke her on that level.
@@zapdosxy1781 beat it simp, she murdered him in cold blood.
my theory is that maybe since he was drunk is that he somehow let it slip that he wanted to leave her and that probably sent her controlling and abusive ass into a rage. She says "You stay!" It could also be she injured him and he was trying to go outside to avoid more violence or for some air or simply not wanting to engage in the fight. Either way he was fleeing and she pursued him. She knew he wasn't able to fight back and she still killed him. I hope they focused on that point in court because it's clear he wasn't able to fend her off.
@@zapdosxy1781 Blaming the murdered victim, that's a new one
the way you put light on victims instead of killers, you're highly appreciated
I remember this case here in Tampa when all this went down and I know their home, we lived in Riverview and their house wasn't but a stones throw from ours... This was so heartbreaking and avoidable as well as frustrating! The selfishness and arrogance to do this to another human being is just lower than low....
So lemme get this straight - she used a public defender despite being able to afford her own attorney, then proceeded to turn down a 25 yr plea deal and be found guilty at trial only to be sentenced to LESS time than the original plea deal that was offered? That's absurd and I was gonna ask how in the flark that happened, but then I remembered it was Florida. Only in Florida does some back asswards shit like that happen. Presumably, she will be given credit for time served during her trial as well. What a despicable human being she is. Guess we'll see what happens in 2040. If she doesn't catch a shiv before then.
Female privilege
Am i bad for hoping that someone falls on her back with a knife 25 times in jail?
No, only under capitalism, where money is more important than people or the truth, can that happen heh
@@3nertiadude you think greedy, wealthy, powerful people don't exist under socialism?
The difference under socialism is if you talk about the crimes of the wealthy, you go to gulag.
@@bluedistortions No, they don't exist under socialism because socialism would have no need for status symbols or money even but thanks for proving the propaganda has been effective and that you obedient drones can do little more than regurgitate the same arguments over and over again without thinking :)
We've literally never had socialism. It's never been tried. That wouldn't benefit those at the top and so they have never allowed it. For millennia the privileged and educated have subjugated the poor and uneducated and the system has never actually changed. Just one dictator after another using which [contemporary] buzzwords get you idiots to fall on your proverbial swords for your masters ;)
So your the second person I've seen cover this story. I love the way you handle the story. I was friends with her throughout high school and shortly after. When she lost the weight and got the surgery her whole attitude changed and she acted like she was better than the people she grew up with
Looks like the weight came back with a vengeance.
@@Nola504Nola that would be a good title for a book about this
Apparently we went to school together. She was in friend groups I was mutuals with but didn't speak with her until we were adults. She said she knew me through others as well. Ultimately we never met coz I had my own life and she had hers but we knew of each other.
Let her enjoy her "betterness" and beauty and vanity slowly slip away behind bars to be realesed back into world a little shy away of being an old crown. Karmic justice for a stuck up who killed a man who was actually by the looks of it much more deserving to have a superiority complex but never had.
I was close to melissa all the way up to when she murdered her bf and back to middle school. She was always kind and reserved and i never would have expected her to murder someone. She was always very kind and the only inkling of violence ive seen from her came from her breakup with syn and the beginning with the bf she murdered.
Adrian. The only person on earth that can tell me to grab a coffee and get confortable ahead of murder drama cases and still make perfect sense
Oh, I thought I was the one, but okay😭
I always thought that was very off putting… essentially saying “get comfortable while I tell you a story about something horrible happening to someone for your entertainment”
“Murder drama cases” 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
I like that in this one right after the coffee I THEN have to grab sunscreen and flip-flops. Gonna be a little awkward with the coffee.
@S k. then dont grab one lol wtf
Cosplay Model -> Adult Model -> Depression
Sounds like the default template today.
Your voice is so cool. I need a loop of it telling me positive things about myself
What a travesty. They offered her 25 years _for murder_ and she was only sentenced to 20 years _after conviction._ I also found the way this murderer was covered to be unusually compassionate and deferential. Just more proof that institutional sexism remains deeply ingrained in the American legal system and in true crime media.
Had it been the other way around, it'd be a forty year sentence, possibly longer.
💯
@@ElectromagNick probably life
@@cesaralvesdemoraes3187 life sentence is less than 40 years
In retrospect i feel it's enough. Who tf will hire a 50 year old woman when she gets out? 5 years won't make much difference in this case.
Best she'll ever get is cashier at the supermarket on a minimum wage. If even that. She'll never find love, or fullfilment in life ever again. And this going asumption she'll not be crippled in any way by other inmates.
If I had a nickel for every time I heard of a cosplayer who killed someone, I'd have two nickels - which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

hahahahahaha.....thank you for cracking me up; you're sense of humor is a gift to us all, 'preciate u sharin'
It is weird that adults dress up as their favourite characters . It’s like they’ve never grown up .
Is crazy how similar her early life is so similar to many of us... is scary to wonder "how did she end up like this? How did she got so low?"
This is so sad. Matthew didn't deserve this... the babies didn't deserved this
She literally ruined her family, killed a young man and destroyed the life of his babies
I know exactly how. Cam girl
“You know the drill. Grab a coffee, pull up a seat….”
*Shoves burrito in face hole*
As someone who’s been with a women who was abusive emotionally and physically this one really hits hard. Me and Matthew were born in the same year as well.
You can only be abused if you allow them to abuse you.

@@nickcook7408 I guess you’ve never experienced domestic violence. What if it’s every day? You fight back every fucking day and it goes on and on and on and on until you just give up.
@@caniborrowapencil5160 You have to get OUT. Period. I used to counsel battered women and omg it was the most frustrating therapy I ever had to do. They don't see red flags and when they're repeatedly beaten up and put through the cycle of apology, escalation and violence once again, they just are incapable of learning because the partner has torn down their confidence and their very identity. It's infuriating to see this but it's nearly impossible for some to get out. And they'll still claim they love this person. ugh. I had to stop doing that therapy!
He was younger than me, which makes this story sadder.
I really love the manner in which he goes about these videos. More of a tribute to lives lost instead of building up the infamy of terrible people.
Agreed! He's so respectful
This one seemed more like he was focused on the killer and the victim was kind of an after thought.
Thank you for the coffee my friend.
It’s crazy because I remember a few years ago I had her added on Snapchat, we would talk every now and then and she was so sweet 😵💫 never in my days did I think that she would do something like that.
Every time I go out, particularly late at night, I hope I do not end up covered by Adrian with the line "and that was the last time he was seen alive."
Omg me too lol..it doesnt matter where i go,all i can think of is,will someone here or myself,be missing and unsolved case?it sounds so paranoid when i spell it out in black and white, but its true
Carry a weapon. At least you'll have a better chance then.
This video proves life is unpredictable, like seriously where are we safe?! Murdered by someone you thought you "loved"
Death is inevitable literally.
The majority of murders are committed by a person that knew and, at least onetime, loved the victim.
Hi, equally unpredictable and, to me, more terrifying, murdered by someone you thought loved you.
You can't trust anyone, as sad as that is
If you avoid red flags you should be ok
i mean better choices raise ur odds. i dont know a single person who has been murdered by a loved one. it happens...but far from inevitable!
Excellent as always Adrian 👍
great content great presentation enjoying how you present each case.
So they offer her 25 years on a plea... she declines, gets caught lying in her trial, and gets a sentence of 20.5 years?
Either she's the world's greatest legal and debate expert, or the judge was a subscriber to her OF... man, legal system is a joke.
Legal system is filled with simps
The latter
Florida* is a joke
Plea bargaining is a joke.
Sex-based disparities in the criminal justice system are the problem. Worse than race.
Remember kids arguing all the time or even very often in a relationship is not normal people saying it is are either lying or sadly very misinformed
Underrated comment
Agreed! While it's normal to have the occasional argument with your S/O, having them frequently is a sign of a dysfunctional and toxic relationship.
Case to case. At the initial part of the rs, i quarrel and fight w my partner alot. After 7 years i can say we improved quite alot, with some occasion still argue but in a more calmer demeanour as compared to last time.
@@thaddeusthay6406 7 ?! 😱
Ah yes take advice from a youtuber. Its called reality hun theres no shit as a perfect couple

Thank you for another video,
It’s such a sad case. As well as not wanting to see more than you want searching these murderers you also don’t want to give them the time of day or interest as the person we all should remember is Matthew. I hope his friends and all his family find some kind of peace as much as they possibly can. RIP Matthew.
Boasting of how great things are on social media seems to be a curse as not long after everything goes horrifically wrong.
That's why it's also referred to as Fakebook.
i love seeing the walls come crashing down
Yup
Right!
This is why taking this kind of thing private is great af
It's weird. There have been numerous times that I can remember where suddenly someone I knew would be inordinately GUSHING on social media about how great things were for them in life, relationships, etc, only for things to then suddenly fall apart a couple weeks to a couple months later. Like it's the social media "keeping up appearances" version of the "dead cat bounce." Now I just get oddly wary whenever someone, anyone, even people I don't know, is suddenly dropping some awkward summary post clicking off all the things they're fortunate to have, because there's like a 75% chance they're actually about to lose most or all of it.
I respect you for noticing and accepting patterns and facts and updating your thinking to match. So many people blindly believe delusions despite having evidence, proof, and facts and it's why many problems keep happening over and over.
I noticed that too, it happened a few times. everything seems perfect and so i just express my happiness and gratitude online and bam! Suddenly I feel very sick and lose everything I worked for.
Or they post things they’re fortunate to have because in reality they can be secretly miserable or insecure and trying to prove to everyone to make themselves feel better.
Yes, you’re spot on. Especially when it comes to flaunting relationships. The couples I’ve known throughout life, that gush about each other online, are the couples with the most toxic relationships in reality! It’s like they’re using social media posts to try to convince themselves. And, if they have a joint profile, one of them has cheated.
What's sad is how people feel the need to satisfy society and social media by claiming everything in their life is perfect.posting 'posed' pictures of everyone smiling and doing happy things.i got news for ya,unpleasant things happen. Its a part of life.and it doesnt make u a bad person..smh
Excellent overview of this terrible case, where an innocent young man murdered. Thank you. Brilliant narrative and visual story line.
love watching your content, thanks for another great video
You have such a way of delivering respectful eulogies to the deceased. Bravo
Agreed!
Seriously, that part made me cringe. The victim is always portrayed as god's gift to earth. No one should judge these cases emotionally.
@@princeofcupspoc9073 lol u seem fun

Hearing stories like this just helps me accept death a lot more. I’m not scared to die. Sue to a scary we or I live in. Why would I want to live another 50 years of my life where you never know who will back stab you and just have the mindset to kill you
I’m 65 years old and was bought up by a mother that was constantly dieting. My home was exactly like madmen, we were wealthy and dysfunctional. I’ve had everything from anorexia to heroin addiction. Please be good to your children. All you have to do is love them, don’t criticise, listen and don’t place expectations.
Never a truer statement. The early years of a childs life can be by far the most important

@@ahab9712 It's the people that tell me, "That happened a long time ago. You're an adult now." that majorly piss me off. People with good parents have no fucking clue.
@@taurnguard I mean I have amazing parents, but I also study pshycology. Your brain develops, just as muscles and bones do when your a kid, and just as you wouldn't want to be starving trying to grow, you wouldn't want bad role models and instability while your brain is developing.
Children NEED expectations. They need discipline and to be held accountable to realistic, age appropriate expectations. Realistic and age appropriate being the operative words.
I agree, that 20 year sentence doesn't make sense for 2nd degree murder.
I have never understood the point of degrees when it comes to murder. It's not to distinguish between murder, reckless disregard for life (voluntary manslaughter) or accident by negligence (involuntary manslaughter, negligent homicide). You ask me, if you knowingly, willingly take a life, it shouldn't matter if you planned it or not.
@@jesuszamora6949 I don't understand it either. I think it only matters in states that have the death penalty. Because usually only 1st degree gets the death penalty. Meaning it had to have been a planned murder.
@@jesuszamora6949 The biggest factor to her sentence isnt even the different degrees (Which I think she should have got 1st since she made no effort to call paramedics), its that we "gender" crimes.

How many times do we see this toxic internet culture threaded throughout these crimes? As an "elder millennial" who watched the development in real time, my observation is that it's really sad and unnecessary how people have largely sacrificed real life experiences and relationships in trade for a "following" of total strangers online. 😞
Absolutely! People who for the most part you will NEVER MEET OR EVEN SPEAK TO!
The thing is before people didn't have a platform to increase popularity. You had your family your love life and your friends and that was pretty much it. And there was a clear cut line between the people you knew which were those 3 categories and the rest of the world which were strangers. The internet has totally blurred that line and now not only is it not strange for them to have the eyes of strangers but that's what they want more than anything. Your family. Your friends or your girlfriend ( or boyfriend) becomes more and more taken for granted because it's the usual. They are here and in your mind they will always be here. The outside world is new and it's thousands / Millions of people that can make you popular in one video or one post . That will push people to the most awful directions
Social media basically tapped into that basic human need for attention. And turned it into a new addiction that mental health professionals are still trying to figure out how to help. I think we can date this shift all the way back to when they started monetizing online content creators.
Somehow these content creators made a lot of money. A LOT. Add that with the lavish following, and to many it seems like the perfect career. You get to “do what you like” and be “loved” and rich.
Yearning to become an “Online content creator” basically replaced the “becoming a celebrity in California” trend. The latter was really common in the 20th century, apparently (basing this on all the stories I hear about women running to California to become actors.)
It is indeed really sad. The Internet has changed the modern environment so quickly that a lot of younger generations grew up only really knowing how to get their dopamine kick from it.
I’m not going to go all “big bad tech” cause technology and the Internet has done a lot of good. I’ve definitely benefited from the Internet. But this is one of the bad things about it. And sadly I don’t think this will change anytime soon ☹️
You said it! 💯💯
Because the same people sacrificing “real life experiences” get called losers and incels by people like you, and feel isolated and excluded from people in their real life.
That’s why they prefer online interactions; because even right now in your comment pretending to be concerned about them, you come off as condescending and holier than thou
PSA: The very moment you feel the relationship is becoming intolerably toxic, please leave and never look back. Your life and peace of mind matters.
A past relationship back in 2015 left me traumatized because of not letting go even after seeing the obvious red flags, due to fear of being alone. Been alone since and with no rush to pursue another relationship as I'm working on myself becoming a better person. If someone else comes, fine, if it doesn't, it's fine too. What counts is your own happiness and most of all, your life.
100% Accurate!!!
I left a toxic relationship in 2007 as my ex was an alcoholic. He couldn’t move on and keep drinking and drinking.. he passed away 2 weeks ago due to the drinking and fell on his own at home. I feel so sad that I thought I should’ve done something in the past like help him get sober etc. Its just sad when someone wasted their life away..

Hi from Johannesburg south Africa. Just found your channel. Love crime stories.
The thing I learned most from watching these videos is that if you're constantly arguing with your partner then maybe take a step back and deeply consider the relationship. My husband and I have a disagreement maybe once a month and it's always something silly like dishes. Other relationships I had were always heated and volatile and I quickly got out of them in fear.
Me and my boyfriend rarely fight too. But I think it's because he knows I grew up in a household where My mother left everyone walking on eggshells. Even the tiniest thing could set her off into a screaming fit.
So if he gets angry with me he quickly stops when he realizes how terrified I'm getting and he hugs me and we talk it out.
@@lonerevenant0 He sounds sweet 🤍

"DON'T LOOK FOR HER NAME ON THE INTERNET"
That's when I knew I had to pause the video.
I’ve watched these videos for a long time now. Today is the first day I’m actually watching one while drinking coffee. Seems monumental lol
I've noticed on alot of true crime shows they always seem to blurt out their rehersed story before they ever say why they were calling.
They get the crying on and breath heavy and just start into some rushed story. And the operator has to be like "What do you need?!?! FIRETRUCK?? AMBULENCE??
The story comes first because they're desperate to 'save themselves' first. So to speak.
