Hi my name is Danielle, welcome to my True Crime and Makeup series! I’ve been interested in true crime for the longest time now, what started with me watching true crime on TV with my Nan from a young age eventually turned into studying for a degree in Law & Criminology.
When I first watched Bailey Sarian’s series I was completely hooked, I loved how she had combined two of the things I’m most passionate about and delivered it so well. She totally inspired me to take the leap and do the same thing on my channel, so all credit for the idea goes 100% to her.
I’m from the UK and will be covering cases from both the UK and internationally, let me know if there are any cases that you’d like to see from me! More cases will be coming soon so please subscribe if you enjoyed this video!

My father was a police officer for 30 years, 5 of those years he worked crimes against children. He said that having to sit in that room with these men pretending to be " understanding" to these sickos, made him physically ill! He would have to leave the room to throw up.
A huge thank you to your father for his service and sacrifice! He truly is a hero. ❤️❤️❤️
Is it bad that I read your comment thinking “child crimes” thinking your dad worked against children until I re read it about 4 times 😂.
Side note thanks to your dad for his service
I worked as a psych nurse at a forensic hospital with sexually violent predators. They are treated better than our elderly. If they stub their toe, they see a nurse within 30 minutes and a doctor within a day. Seriously the hardest job I ever had, trying to pretend to have empathy for men that are monsters. Even worse is that I was a victim of sexual molestation by 9 different people while growing up, and every day I was at work I would have to pretend that they didn’t make my skin crawl.
I feel horrible for your dad. If he's not in therapy, I hope he can be talked into going.
@@MyHandleRocks no actually, like may officers, he will not really talk about it. The only reason he told me was because I was trying to decided my career focus at that time and between social work or nursing and he asked me to go into nursing, he said " being a social worker will change who you are" being the only person who really know how sensitive I am, was right like always. Even nursing has been a huge challenge when I was doing pediatric care. Now doing acute care mostly with the elderly and some hospice at time, seems to suit my blunt manner and appreciation for allowing someone to dictate their own end giving them dignity during end of life care is best for me. I fear having to work with abused children would have landed in jail one day, for going after someone who has hurt a child.
The 5 year old brother is so mature and responsible for that age. To be 5 years old, notice that your older sibling is missing and the first response is to call emergency services. That little boy was very mature and responsible for his age.
And smart!!
Yes, his parents taught him the right things to do. Happy he did it !
That blew me away, super smart.
Yes
Wow we’re giving praise for common sense
I went to school with Brian Lucas and I lived near the Superbike shop. We knew the victims and their families well. This was a horrible time for our community. Todd is truly a monster. Praying that the victims families can find peace. Thank you for covering this case and being so respectful to those we lost.
I am so very sorry for what the families & friends ( such as u self ) had to endure this is disgusting & completely senseless that pos TODD effected so many lives that day 4 families all their friends & anyone that loved & cared for these poor innocent ppl... I send u & the families my condolences & again this is a senseless tragedy I send u prayers & love & this pos had no right to take away ppl that obviously were loved by so many just sad & has me in tears for all of u... plz enjoy u Sunday & be safe out there & again much 💜🧡❤💚💙💞💗💓💕🖤🙏 !!
Wow that's crazy I hope everyone finds peace
I'm so sorry you lost people who obviously mattered to you. I can't even imagine the rage that goes along with losing someone to murder. Especially someone like this who shouldn't have been let out of prison to have the opportunity to kill anyone.
I lived on Paris Bridge Rd when I was little! I was born in Easley and grew up in Spartanburg and Greenville!
Do you know if the shop owner's wife had a strong support system during that time? I certainly hope so. I couldn't imagine going through that: losing my husband, people saying my baby isn't his, and then being accused of killing him. I'm so sorry this happened in your town to people you knew.
Todd was my real estate agent (he had keys to my home!). My sister and a friend worked for him at his agency. My daughter paid her rent to him as he also did property management on the side. There but for the grace of God go I. Thank you so much for your coverage of this case. You did an excellent job and you were very respectful to the victims. He was a jerk-we all knew he thought so much of himself, I feel like we should’ve known more. But darn, don’t you expect they do background checks on agents and brokers especially?
That's terrifying!!
Woah. Insane. Did he seem like a creepy killer??
I always find it hard to believe so many people just overlooked his behavior. Probably because so many men in SC have the same behavior and attitude. Were you not aware of SC's rating on how many women are killed by men? We are usually #1 or #2. Domestic abuse is rampant and police do nothing. Police defended my ex-husband and covered for him for years until he set our house on fire when I finally got saved by friends and left, no ran, because he chased us with an axe. His own mom, and my mom, called the police on him and they came out and defended him. He was withholding my medication for Multiple Sclerosis from me to make me sick so he could control me and torture me and I had to have a police report for my insurance to cover another prescription because I have to have the medication every day. Police came out two weeks later and lied, said my medication was marital property and he could have all he wants. That is a federal crime. If I had been a senior citizen or child he would have been arrested for doing that to me but because I was his wife he could hold me hostage and make me suffer and allow my immune system to attack my brain and spine and cause life long difficulty for me. I could go on and on but I won't. Please, women, open your eyes before it happens to you.
I really don't know how the detectives restrained themselves from punching him in the face after he said "you'd have been proud."
Right? Stg, this stuff is the reason I'd never work as a law enforcer.
I would not have had the restraint.
He never had a father so he doesn't know what makes a male in authority proud.
Omg. The part about Scott’s wife 😳 That poor woman. I hope she got a SINCERE apology from the police for that one.
I think she sued them, and won lots of $$, if I remember correctly.
@@sugaredwards6207she deserves to be compensated a ton of money. She and her kid definitely deserves and needs it. It was such a gross injustice and the police’s incompetence on the case meant that the actual killer got to kill more people. Absolutely abhorrent
It’s even sadder. A few years after Scott’s death, Melissa married a Maricopa County sheriff’s lieutenant. They had 2 more children together, then 6 and a half years later, her second husband Chad was hit by an SUV while controlling traffic at an accident scene. She is a very courageous, resilient woman who speaks to victim’s groups.
Now you know why domestic abuse is so rampant in SC. Or at least you should know. Police everywhere don't listen to women. Period. And men know this too.
i’m happy you mentioned Donna, scott’s wife as a victim, as well. she most definitely was. It’s just horrible how the police accused her of this horrific crime and an affair on top of it, as if it wasn’t painful enough to process being blamed for the murders …all while Todd was living his best life. I can not even imagine how traumatic that would be WHILE BEING PREGNANT, AND GRIEVING THE LOSS OF HER HUSBAND, at just 30 years old. I pray for all of his many victims, and the families that grieve the loss of a loved one taken too soon by this sick, lying, big mouth, excuse for a man. Also I pray for their strength while trying to heal from their loss, and having to hear Todd slander their loved ones name, like Johnny and Megan, and then continuing to blame his victims for why he “had to” murder them or not taking any accountability for the horrible things he did to them, all just to satisfy his little fat boy ego. there is a special place in hell for Todd. Hearing him speak makes me cringe!
I’m not surprised that Spartanburg PD did that. They’re awful. They basically verbally attacked my 13 yr old after a SA then said she was lying when I went in to file a complaint and demand an investigation (of a previously convicted and registered offender). It was the same dept (major crimes/SA) and same detective.
I can only imagine how awful she was treated. Sad thing is, there’s no repercussions because the ones (at the time, not sure if things have changed since) that were supposedly to hold the LEOs accountable were just as bad, if not worse. It’s no wonder the crime was as bad as it was in that county.
How terrible to go through losing your husband and family then being traumatized further by saying you cheated and your child wasn’t his!
There were people who STILL gossiped and blamed her even AFTER she was exonerated, if you can believe that!?!
@@michelemahon141 that makes me FURIOUS, I hope your child is recovering from what happened to them, and I hope their attacker dies painfully, soon.
@@michelemahon141 I'm so so sorry that happened to your daughter and your family :( Hopefully something will change so victims are revictimized by the police there.
I can believe that people stilll gossiped about Donna. Some people would rather gossip and be cruel then believe what actually happened.
She should sue them. Absurd.
Yes yes yes.. so very sad how all of this was handled
Regarding Todd’s Amazon reviews, I find that people often write really sarcastic reviews similar to Todd’s and people find them funny and obviously don’t take them seriously. That’s how he got away with writing such bold things. Now I might look at such reviews a lot differently 😳
I was thinking the same thing!
Like 99% of people would have immediately assumed it was a funny satire review including myself, laughed, and forgotten about it. Not only that, but Amazon is known for having numerous comedic views; so many so, that there's video compilations on it. So for anyone to be like, "No one did anything about it!" like why would we if we thought it was a joke..?
Guessing that'd have to abduct a woman to get her to sleep w/it. Eesh!
Exactly. I was actually surprised at the shock at the reviews... And I giggled at the parts not read out loud (but were on screen)
Something for everyone to remember is that when looking at reviews on Amazon, there's ZERO context. Also, no one would be looking for one person's reviews, but a product only.
There's just no feasible way anyone would put two and two together.
Imo. P.s. they WERE funny... however f this guy for being a r*pey murdery a**hat. 😤
I would definitely have laughed and moved on thinking it was a joke...
Just thought I'd update everyone. Sadly,Kala is not doing well, you can look it up online. Her fiance stabbed himself to death and then her next boyfriend got into an altercation with her. Her lawyer said she was off her meds. I feel so sad for her. How do you go through all the trauma she has been through and then live a normal life? I wish her the best and hope she finds peace. ❤
That’s sad, PTSD I am sure. I send her healing light and peace ☮️
Imagine being those officers listening to him say "you would of been proud." It is a talent to keep so calm.
My mother-in-law lives in Gaffney just near Spartanburg and this case TERRIFIED her so much that when I told her what this week's episode was about she seemed to have blocked it from her memory. Totally blank. Even though she called us nearly everyday they were looking for Kala and then with updates on the bodies and for weeks after. It really rocked that community.
I love how you take a moment at the end of your videos to honor the victims. It is very sweet and thoughtful and I am sure the families of those affected would love the tributes you pay to their loved ones. 🧡
I literally just spit out my drink after hearing about his mother’s reaction to him r**ing that child. I am so baffled by how she really does not think her son deserves consequences for his actions. An enabler at their finest. SMH.
Right?! 🤬 It's evil, parents who do that!
Do y’all have kids?? I can only imagine a mom would feel massively overwhelming guilt that her kid turned out so horribly wrong- she’s already feeling like the worlds worst mom- why should we then expect her to turn her back on her kid, when they need her the most? I think it’s super backwards, that spouses don’t have to even testify against each other, but mothers get totally villified, and sonetimes even jailed, bc they stand by their kid.
I work very hard to ensure my kid is an empathetic good human, but if something went badly wrong w/ her, whether due to a brain injury, a hormonal Imbalance, or a serious disorder like this awful man had (which could have been managed, but wasn’t), what could I possibly do, as her mom, but stand by her?
This was a horrible man, but to his mom, he was still the child she bore and nurtured
@@sarahissersohn5495 oh yeah, four sons. Ages 29, 19, 15 and 9. You don't do your child any favors when you help them escape the consequences of their actions. You can love them, get them a great lawyer. You do NOT lie and cover and make excuses for them.
@@sarahissersohn5495 You can still feel pain, guilt, and sorrow if that happened. It's just, you're still a decent human being and if they raped a girl or especially at the point they murder a ton of people, you can feel all those feelings but that shit at the end of the day is so wrong and vile. Yes, you still love them but you don't try to make them raping and or killing someone justifiable. You can of course still love them and be in lots of pain, while not defending evil actions.
@@sarahissersohn5495 Did you not pay a single bit of attention to this case? In this instance, Todd's mom is 100% to blame for enabling him. That's why he went about life thinking that he was the best thing since sliced bread. She even went as far as disregarding the sexual assault all because he walked the girl home.
If your child does something wrong, they need to be held accountable. If you don't, at best you'll end up with a typical fuck up. At worst, you'll end up with a Todd Kohlhepp.
I'm the victim of my dad's murder, after 28 yrs and a traumatic life i have decided to finally let go...so thank you Danielle for sharing these stories, bizarrely true crime is therapeutic to me. I feel less alone in this. Wishing you all the victims, light & healing ✨💖
May God bless you and your family! 🩵✨
Yeah my grandpa for my dad side viciously stabbed grandmother then shot himself in the head but surprisingly my grandma survived what my grandpa did strive to be a good friend and like friendly I believe he was drunk when he attacked my grandma, she had three stab wounds to the back my grandpa's traumatized my now late uncle and my other uncle my dad's two younger brothers while my dad was at his friends house this happened in 1997 by the way, a decade before I was born I decided to forgive my grandpa and given Mercy at the time this incident was everywhere in the state of Missouri and by the way my grandma didn't want to tell me what happened to Grandpa until I was 10. There's no articles about the case because they knew exactly what happened my grandpa was still alive he would be serving a life sentence for the attempted murder of my grandma
I'm from the area where this happened. I was young when the bike shop murders happened. That shocked us all. When Kayla was found and all of the other details were discovered, I kept thinking I could have rubbed elbows with this monster and not even have known it. Evil evil man.
And some people debate the reality of real evil. It is truly on display with a trash like that.

Now I’ve finished the video, I want to add to my previous comment that the way you tell these horrendous stories, with such emotion and passion makes you one of the best on RUclips. At the end, you were so close to breaking down in tears, tears for people you’ve never met or known, and this shows how empathetic and sweet you are. How warm hearted you are and it’s sometimes nice to see that these stories affect the person telling them as much as it affects us the viewers. It makes us feel closer to you as the person relaying such horrendous case details.
Thank you for wearing your heart on your sleeve, the victims in this story would be grateful to have you telling their story with such empathy and compassion ❤
Oh my god, I only just read about this guy for the first time a couple of weeks ago. He is utterly diabolical and he makes me physically sick. I love your videos Danielle. You always put so much work and research in and the way you present cases is so compelling.
Yeah love her too x
8:35 I had a goldfish for six years. I did everything to keep that fish in a good environment and I dedicated so much time, energy and money into caring for my goldfish. My sister wanted to hurt me, so she poisoned my goldfish by putting chemicals in his water. When I got home from school, he was deathly ill and could no longer swim. Even though he was only a goldfish, I felt so much responsibility to his safety and care that I still think about it today. He didn't deserve to die that awful death.
I knew his mother thought the law office where I worked. She brought him to our office one day to speak to the attorney. This was when he was trying to explain being of the SO registry to the real estate board. He came back in our office because his mother suggested to him that he ask me out. He was creepy and bragged on himself the whole time. The attorney I worked for realized what he was doing and told him to leave and not come back. This was probably late 2005 or early 2006. I’m glad he didn’t come back and shoot us all like he did at the bike shop.
Chilling! So glad you're all alright.
Not even joking, my friend is a realtor in this area and she was supposed to have a meeting with this guy! She felt super weird vibes from him and she cancelled. It just makes my skin crawl to think what could have happened to her!
So crazy that the majority of the pics you show of him, he looks SO happy!
Not even in a fake kinda way, he looks genuinely happy!
A lot of narcissists are charming manipulators. Online sources say that sales people have a high percentage of narcissists. Don't they smile and seem very helpful while many screw people out of a good deal. He sounds like a classic dirty sales con.
I worked with Charlie Carver for a year back in 2014. Kala’s mother also worked there. He was a good natured man that could start up a conversation with anyone. It could range from sports to the latest episode of True Blood.
It was very surreal to see this unfold to someone you knew. Everything from Facebook and the news. It was an event that I was looking into everyday hoping for the best.
I never comment on anything but I just wanted to say thank you Danielle for making these videos about the impact on the victims and their loved ones, realizing that they are the important people in these horrible situations. The way you describe them throughout and at the end of your videos is admirable and touching. Not everyone in the True Crime genre shows the love and support for the victims of these kinds of tragic events like you do, and I just wanted to let you know it is appreciated and you're an amazing and kind person for doing so.
He was my regular for 10 years at 2 of my bars. He was super creepy. He would get drunk and for years tell me and other customers he was a killer. We thought he was being silly and weird. He was confessing to us for years. Quite a few people do not believe he did the superbike tragedy or that kayla was held against her will. Lots behind all that. We will probably never know the actual REAL TRUTH. Todd confessed to other crimes that could not be proven. He did know crucial details of superbike so I do believe he was the murderer in that. This is all still nuts to me. Xoxo ♥️
that is scary! he was casually confessing and could've been stopped but nobody knew he was serious. glad nothing to happened to you and others though.
Bro, I wouldn't hear someone constantly talking about killing people and think "Oh, what a silly, quirky guy!" lmao
Look. We only didn't believe him bc he just didn't fit the "profile" of someone that would be capable!! First mistake!! You literally never think this will happen to your community. He was a geeky blonde annoying dude that had an ego. That's what it seemed like ya know!! Xoxoxo ❤
@@chickensauce85 yeah I do wish some how we could of....been more active. Xoxo
@@erikajones5611 True enough, haha. I’m sure conversations were wild at your bar when he was arrested.
It’s crazy to see this case covered by my favorite true crime RUclipsrs when I used to drive past his land every single day for work. And I can assure you, the women who worked for him NEVER felt comfortable even in the beginning. Years before he was arrested she used to always have a man go with her whenever she had to show a house with Todd. It was a known thing in the real estate world down there that when women had to deal with Todd they implemented the buddy system.
I feel so bad for Kayla…when this story first broke so many people had a hard time believing she wasn’t in on the plan with Todd. Even after sherif Chuck Wright (I played soccer with his daughter) released the body cam footage people STILL thought she was full of it. Her mom would go off on these people all the time on Facebook. It was absolutely disgusting to see.
One of my dear friends (and old co worker) lost his brother to Todd. He was one of the victims at the bike shop. I will never forget when he announced they found his brothers killer. 13 years later and they finally could receive some justice. Unfortunately though he said unless they let him in a room alone with Todd no conviction would ever take the pain of losing his best friend away.
I could go on and on about how much of an impact this monster had on our small community but this comment would be too long to post. That entire area from woodruff, to Lyman, Duncan, and even greer which is in an entirely different county had to deal with the after shocks of a single man. And yes..his mother still tries to justify his behavior. Some pity her, while I do not. I have three sons and I love them with every inch of my soul but one thing they know for certain is I will hold you accountable even more so than any teacher, police officer, or judge could. There is a huge difference between talking to your children about expressing their emotions in a healthy manner and completely enabling them. She doesn’t understand that.
Thank you for once again covering this case with the respect and dignity like you always do. ❤ I knew the second I saw the title you would truly do this case justice and you didn’t disappoint! It’s one of the reasons you are one of my favorite ❤
Thank you for sharing some of your knowledge about what happened to the community after this story broke. It makes feel more (I have no other way of saying this...) real. Personally, I have been affected in my life by serial killers as well (two of my cousins were killed by the same serial killer when I was 16, and we still haven't gotten answers), so I can only imagine the heart break! I hope everyone around you and yourself have been able to find some peace and closure! ❤️
@@zijohnson2024 oh my god…that’s heartbreaking. I genuinely have no words that could express how deeply sorry I am that you and your family have had to endure this. I don’t know how you could even begin to cope with trauma like this, but I sincerely hope you all are able to find some answers and eventually receive some form of justice. I just wish there was something we could do to help 😞
I love that you acknowledge the victims at the end. It's so very important that the victims get noticed. Your the only person I watch that does that....its very sweet and sad.
Need to start holding the parents accountable in addition to these ppl for enabling/causing more trauma.
This case has always terrified me specifically because nothing seemed to lead to this abhorrent behavior, Todd just enjoyed torturing people and we never know who around us could be just like him. Thank you as always for doing such justice to these victims ♥️
I think he was born with generational curses from his father and his father's rejection made is worse. His mother's blatant lies and escuses his entire life also made him worse. She could have gotten him mental health help instead of grossly enabling him.
When you talked about Todd confessing his crimes to Kala, I could just hear his mother saying "but he confessed! Only someone with a good heart would be so upset from killing 7 people that they couldn't handle the guilt and just HAD to come clean. He's really a good boy, honest."
Grrrrrrrrr........
*He wasn't sorry. Either he confessed to Kala because:
(A) He planned to kill her
(B) He's stupid
(C) or he actually believed she'd fall in love with him and wouldn't turn him in out of loyalty.
I'm going with stupid. He's actually a terrible criminal. Got caught immediately at 15. Got lucky in the bike shop case because police had tunnel vision on an innocent woman. And he got a break again by killing the couple with criminal records the cops didn't ever seriously look for. Then with Charlie and Kala, he left traces of his connection to them by conversing online about the job he offered AND apparently didn't realize how cell phones ping AND kept her on his property. Criminal mastermind? Not. Even. Close.
Sadly, I agree with you. Why sadly?
Well let's break it down..
Bad guy: ONE PERSON who's arrogant (ie Amazon reviews), messy, a known criminal, etc..
Good guys: Dozens (potentially hundreds) of LEOs who have experience, evidence, resources, training, criminal history at their fingertips..
Not to mention the bad guy had documented criminal charges and STILL he remained in the free world long enough to commit these crimes.
EXACTLY! Idk if he really thought she would fall in love with him but I think he was so lonely that he really really hoped one of them would. I think he was probably hoping that would happen with the first girl as well too. I think Todd put on a tough guy persona because deep down he felt weak and lonely! I had heard this case before but I never heard that about the feet of his last two male victims that bananas.
I wholeheartedly believe that this woman would have given a testimony to his “great character” if she had the chance to do so.
He was probably bragging, while trying to scare her at the same time. If the cops hadn’t found her she never would have left that property alive. He would have gotten bored with her and killed her or kept her locked in that storage container for the rest of her life.
Gillian’s love to boast about their crimes-confessions are for clout.
I was a in High school at Chesnee High at the time of these murders. It was a very scary time not knowing what truly happened. It wasn't until Todd was caught that I found out about the awfulness that Scott's wife went through. Breaks my heart for her. I still pray for the victims' families.
Melissa is the strongest person I know, she has done so much
I live about an hour from Spartanburg and remember this. I have heard it in the local news a lot and other true crime RUclipsr have covered it. But I absolutely love that you covered this. You have the absolute most genuine responses to everything and make an event that really happened more then just a story. They way you show angry, frustration and most of all compassion always resonates with me. Thank you for being the most amazing true crime teller.
I agree, Daniele is always so compassionate versus sensationalist. Also side thought.. i think other story tellers are genuine in their expression, and sometimes that expression is just a little cold lol but i don't consider it insincere you know what i mean? I think they're a lil numb
Anyone else realise they have heard this story once you get to the “fortress” part? Danielle you have researched this story so we’ll with so much prior information than anyone else ❤
You are so gentle and respectful towards the victims! Thank you for that x
You are such a great story teller! I had tears at the end, and it was mostly because of your caring for victims and their families/friends.
Thank you for covering these stories. I feel it gives a remembrance to lives lost.
So much respect for Kayla while being rescued. She did not mince words in her accusation. Todd Kohlhepp did it. He did and this is how and this is who he hurt. Just the truth being said so boldly and out loud and being heard by proper authorities. All of that must have been liberating along with actually being unchained.
Danielle, I am truly in awe of your respect of the victims, and how you still get emotional. Your heart is big, and it's so obvious in your presentations. You haven't become desensitized to this. May you continue to find success!
thank you Danielle, you have helped me and my sister bond through hard times
It's scary to think that one man could cause so much devastation and pain. I truly hope the living victims are able to move on and find happiness.
Thanks for another great episode Danielle!
on another note, I love how long and descriptive your true crime videos always are. you truly take the time to do all your research and include every little detail, which is why you’re one of the best 🥰
I needed to Google who negan is because she is soooooo descriptive
@@RustyBum why would she take the time to describe a tv show character when she’s trying to spread awareness ab a true crime case? 💀 i mean i’m glad ur fingers work the internets there for a reason
A very sad case, and also I felt sad for his dog, who as Todd was arrested, sat next to him not knowing his owner is a murderer. I hope the dog was able to find a loving new home.
Really? You feel bad for a dog but not the multiple victims brutally murdered?
@@M123Xoxo „a very sad case“ means yes I felt bad for them, „and I also felt sad“ actually states that.
@@M123Xoxo as if you can’t feel sorry for multiple things at one time. 🙄Why do people have such a problem with people having empathy for ? I feel very sorry for the dog as well and every bit of sorry for anyone who ever encountered this monster at work
Danielle, I must sincerely thank you for giving a warning ahead of talking about the animal abuse. I get extremely upset by it and I genuinely appreciated the heads up to skip ahead. Thank you. 💜
Same here. I don’t know why I can listen to grim details of people being chopped to bits, but if someone even yells at an animal, I’ll lose it. 😭
Same. Babies and animals. I know it's often part of being a True Crime fanatic, but I will fast forward if I can
Embarrassing to say that it upsets you more than human torture does. Sorry if I offend anybody, I truly don’t mean it but , I feel, animals are innocent of human behaviours. Disgusting both ways isn’t it. Are people born this way or it it in their upbringing. His awful. 🙏🙏🙏👵👵🇦🇺🇦🇺
Same! Dogs are just pure love. They’re innocent and all they do is love you so it really messes me up when they get hurt or worse. I can handle hearing about people getting hurt or killed but not dogs. Unfortunately most serial killers start with animals so it’s in so many of the stories and it just makes me sick. Obviously the human victims are horrible too, but dogs just hit different for me, idk.
Yes! Thank you. Not just that but when you give a warning about child abuse, cause I need to be prepared to hear awful things.
As someone with BPD, Ima say that diagnosis for him is a lie. Borderlines feel everything all the time. This man felt nothing but "me, me, me." So I absolutely agree with the diagnosis of Narcissistic Personality Disorder as well as Ego.
I just dont appreciate how often "BPD" gets thrown around as a dangerous person due to cases like this and misdiagnosis.
THIS. We feel so intensely it’s crazy
This! So this. I agree
As a fellow BPD, I completely agree with this. I felt myself welling up when Danielle spoke about the goldfish.
Me too. Diagnosed when I turned 50, and I can't kill a fly. No way does he have BPD.
As a twice victim of someone with BPD Ima have to disagree with you. I married someone with BPD and was fooled to believe his claim of PTSD. I had a mother in law with BPD. You might not be a dangerous person but they were. Years and $$$$ were taken from my life to get justice. You might not be dangerous or violent but they were and what I went through because of them needs to be heard. People need to be made aware of personality disorders and what people with them are willing to do to anyone that makes them feel small, insecure, or a threat to their egotistical fears. I'm sorry that it hurts you but it's better that people be made aware of personality disorders and the ability to have comorbid mental illnesses while having one personality disorder. My ex husband was BPD and NPD on top of PTSD and eventually crack addiction. No, he never hit me with a fist but that isn't the only way abusers can abuse people. Police need a whole semester dedicated to being aware of how they work and how they victimize innocent good people so they can be more aware of how and why and what they might be hiding in clear daylight.
I can't believe my favorite youtuber (and podcaster) is covering a case from my state! Thank you so much for covering this sicko, Danielle.
I just wanted to thank you for always centering the victim and showing such compassion.
Danielle, I am from the area and am glad that you are covering this case. This was such a disgusting case. And horrifying how someone can spend that much time in jail and *still* go on to re-offend. It's awful. I wish he got the help he needed, yet I know that he may not have been able to have been helped.
There is no help for personality disorders. They don't get cured. My ex-husband has gone to prison for blowing up my van with 6 propane tanks and setting our house on fire because I had friends save me by coming to pick me up while he was asleep. He woke up and chased us with a big axe. Anderson police had been called on him at least 20 times by me, my mom, my stepdad and his own mom and they always took his side, blamed me, and did nothing. My ex is out now and is in and out of jail all the time. He is a felon and has been caught with drugs and a gun and he's still out there smoking crack and doing what he wants. He refuses to pay child support to me and his first wife and probably owes over $100,000 in child support arrears and that's a federal felony but SC does nothing. And the VA won't hold up court orders for child support and basically our federal taxes are paying him to do this. He get's to smoke $3500.00 a month of crack on our dime.
I love that you take the time to do a section on remembering the victims x
First, I LOVE sassy Danielle! You have every right to be disgusted by these hideous people.
Second, you have a beautiful soul! The empathy and compassion you feel for the victims of your stories comes out with each story you tell.
God Bless all of these poor souls and all the poor souls you tell us each week. Thank you for being such a fantastic story teller! Peace and love to you and yours.
I admire you for how sympathetic you are to the victims and their stories. You always show a true caring nature for the victims unlike other RUclipsrs who do true crime and show no emotion at all except laughing inappropriately sometimes. Don't get me wrong I do watch the ones I'm referring to also but just admit it's nice to see genuine care and sympathy in videos considering these are real stories of people's death.
Just wanted to say, that it is because you genuinely care about the people who are effected by these criminals, that I continue to watch your content 💜
This happened where I grew up and I was in my late teens when the story broke. I remember being out in the club scene and seeing Kayla trying to cope with what had happened. People would talk about it on Facebook. It was devastating for the community.
I’ve heard about this case. You, as usual, have done a great job telling the story. So glad that you always mention the victims at the end. So compassionate. ❤
Wow, that was a crazy one. This is what happens when a child is not held accountable for anything they do. Far too much of that goes on these days. Now we know why we have so many criminals out there. Thank you for another great story.
This case is absolutely heartbreaking. I get attached to the victims and their families that go through anything like this.
You're very empathetic. When you had to take a moment, and became choked up; I immediately started to cry.
You give everyone involved a voice.
As someone from this town and who watched it unfold, it truly was so unsettling. One of his houses he owned was right beside my childhood bestfriend. We saw him all our life. Its just so eerie to think about.
Yeay it's Danielle day! I've heard this case before but Danielle always dose the best job of covering these and telling the victims stories
That's how I see it too
YAY it's a Danielle upload day woohoo.
She rocks
I agree! That’s why I love watching her content.
Thank you for taking the time to talk about the victims. Showing compassion for them is very important.
Also, can you please cover the case of Raya & Sakina the evil sisters?
as someone who sells shipping containers you’d be surprised at how many regular every day people buy them. seeing a shipping container on a giant property like that also makes sense. we have one in our backyard in place of a shed. just wanted to clear that in case people see a shipping container on a property and think something weird is going on 😅
You are so perfect with explaining your investigations. And the stuff that you find out down to the finest detail. I'm wondering, have you ever thought about doing interviews with some of these people?
That you've reported on. I think you would be very good at that if you could hold your temper and protect your heart. Thank you for your honest reporting.
These things are awful that you tell us all about. It sure keeps me on my toes out here in the world. Thank you❤
If he truly believed in the end of times, & especially ‘the walking dead’, he probably thought the people he killed would turn into zombies, because of which he removed the feet off of the male victim’s buried on his property. He probably thought the male zombies would be the most difficult to kill if they had feet. Just my thought.
The way you deep dived into this case Danielle, I found out so much more about this serial killer, thanks a lot for such an amazing way you presented this case to us!
The whole family is daft. I know them.
This makes a lot of sense! Especially as he had been essentially planning for "the apocalypse" as such.
I think the reason he refused to answer any questions about it is because he knew it would make him look silly and he wanted those detectives to be proud of him, rather than ridicule him the way he claimed those at the bike shop did.
Obviously it's speculation, but out of all theories, this one definitely sounds more realistic to me!
Yeah this crazy idea seems like a reasonable explanation oddly enough.
I was thinking maybe he ate them or had a foot fetish but given your explanation it makes more sense...
The fact that I wrote a bad review on a used item from Amazon and they said I wasn’t allowed to post it….. this speaks volumes.
I have heard this story a couple times but nobody tells it like you do and with the whole backstory with his childhood. You are a master at your craft Danielle. This is a very sad sad story as many of them are but thank you for helping to make people aware of the horrible people in this world and the poor people that have suffered.
I have heard this before but never in the detail you have given.! thank you for showing the world that evil exist, some people just want to believe "it's just in movies" "the world can't be that bad" I know it's that bad.... Ty❤❤❤❤
I have heard this case before but I had no idea that there were so many details that Danielle covers. Good job!
She didn’t cover how he was able to stand on his feet, get his own place and buy a bike.😩 but good job.
I like this version of true crime because you don't sound callous and clinical all the time. It's nice to feel like you're actually listening to human instead of a robot.
I cannot wait to get deep into MagellanTV but not until after I watch you! I get so hyped when I see that you have posted.
Wow, scary that he was interacting with people for so long being super dangerous.
As the lady commented he was a local that hung out at the bars locally, talking about his crimes but no one took him seriously. Now, people need to say something to an official.
Always look forward to your up loads, thank you for your diligent hard research 👌👍❤️
Another cozy Sunday night with Danielle! We all appreciate you SO much!
The subject matter is horrific, yet your research, narration, and perspective on the story are all wonderful.
Several youtubers did cover this case , yet failed to mention a lot of important details, especially regarding his childhood and his violent tendencies . Thank you for covering this case ! I really like your channel and am always looking forward to see more of your content. I also like your personality and wish I had a friend like you.
You are the ONLY person I watch if I think I know everything about the case. Because you ALWAYS have things no one else finds. You definitely spend A LOT of time researching! I can't believe you still do it all yourself though! I know one crime youtuber who has about 200 000 followers and pays someone (SHIT ALL) to RESEARCH AND WRITE WHAT SHE READS. AND EDIT THE VIDEO.
No one would blame you if someone else researches for you, or even writes it, but please always add what you do to them! Maybe do your awesome super in depth when you normally do, and add a shorter one during the week that you get help with?
I think you deserve to be the biggest, most well known crime teller on RUclips!
You have empathy, brains, the criminology background, are well spoken and research like no one else!
The makeup is also awesome, but it's the crime researching and story telling that you do that will make you super rich I think!
Goodluck! I really hope you make it over a million before the end of the year and 2 next year! 🤞🍀
Can I ask who the 200k youtuber is? Im curious 👀
I'm curious as well. I already watch many true crimers, but whoever this is doesn't ring a bell.... 👀
I have proof, but i feel horrible saying it on here.
But I'd be curious too. So...
First name starts with A.
Just watch her eyes. It's so obvious once you look.
@@nickit2368 I can only think of Annie Elise
Never apologize for your tears, dear Danielle, they are part of the reason we all love and respect you. They prove you have a beautiful empathic soul♥️
Todd is pure fkg evil. From South Carolina myself, this case was stunning to hear of. Seeing Kayla's rescue was chilling. 💔
I didn’t even realize what this about until I saw the young couple. I had no idea he’d left all of those Amazon reviews. I always hear a lot of new details from this channel.
It also always weirds me out how normal most of these ppl look and how so many of them sound very similar to narcissists I’ve had the misfortune of meeting. I swear they have a hive mind that reads from the same playbook. If any thing can be learned, it’s that we collectively need to start taking unsettling ppl seriously. Also I’ve learned from this channel especially, you can’t rely heavily on the police solely and you really need to fight to be your own protector and advocate. ❤
Exactly. Our law enforcement here in the Upstate is crap. Especially for women. And these sociopaths and psychopaths are everywhere getting away with all kinds of things in broad daylight. Research personality disorders yourself because the mental health system in America. SC's mental health system is basically the same as going to church. No help whatsoever.
I work at a title one school (poverty) in an Emotionally Disturbed classroom. This case is hard to hear because it reminds me sooooo much of a student I have. We are doing our best to ensure he doesn’t have this outcome.
hii if u can try n teach empathy maybe bring some service pets in under supervision so they can learn empathy and compassion skills best of luck
the work you do is so important, you are so important. helping and healing young minds is what will mold our future, it’s important that we as a community are not raising monsters, and it’s vital as a community that we deal with the monsters we have, and the one’s who may become monsters. what you do is very special ❤
Oh dear Lord, please don’t give up on him. Thank you for taking on making a difference. You guys may save peoples lives.
Having a psychopathic child sounds like a nightmare.
I’ve seen this case covered by a few RUclipsrs but none as well and in depth as you! You did a great job!
Danielle this was one of my favorite videos, I love that you include the victims and their story.. your videos don’t just concentrate on the killers and the number of people that passed
Thank you Danielle for putting so much care and work into your videos. You are one of my favorite channels to watch. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for the loving time and respect you give to all of the victims at the end of each video, it's a reminder that at the end of the day these cases are truly about them and what they had to go through.
I've always thought that I would rather happily die than to live without the ones I love the most. I truly cannot even begin to comprehend what Kayla has had to go through and now live with, I hope she (as well as all those affected) manages to find peace
Danielle you are amazing. I read your post about hitting 700,000 subscribers in 2 years and that is truly incredible but honestly you are so more deserving because the way you tell a case is like no other your passion your personality it's everything and I love and adore you so much and mind you I just found you not too long ago but now I watch every single upload and if I'm not able to watch now I will always watch when I can so just know I will always be loving and supporting your Channel❌⭕💋😍❤🌹❤🌹
You should try HUMANS, Grace, the RUclipsr that tells these stories, focuses more on the lives of the victims, instead of the life of the perp.
It's pretty hard to find, but well worth it!
☮️💜
@@sweetmissypetuniawilson9206 Clearly I did. Maybe you read it wrong or took it the wrong way?? I'm not saying this in a mean way I'm just saying it's possible
@@rachelrae860 what?
Your response to my suggesting another true crime RUclipsr makes no sense to me whatsoever.
I love Danielle too but she, like many, only post once a week, so I watch other RUclipsrs like "Mr Ballen," he's gotten crazy popular!
And I just discovered "Humans."
The channel is hard to find but totally worth it, like I said.
@@sweetmissypetuniawilson9206 I apologize. Then it was me who misunderstood you. Okay do I have three suggestions for you if you've never heard of them you would need to watch one video from each of them the one RUclipsr is Stephanie Harlowe and I can give you three cases of hers to watch now two of them are in parts so the first one is in two parts and the second one is in three parts and then I'll give you just one that's not really true crime but it's an excellent watch. The girl who slept for 34years,, the Ellen Greenberg case and then the Phoebe handsjuk case. Then there's Kimberleigha who does deep dives so they can be like almost 2 hours and you can watch any of hers then Sherrilyn Dale she's a total sweetheart and she does true crime and she also does what's called viewer submissions where people will send in something that they want to talk about and then she will read it So any one of hers is awesome the one that can suggest that's in two part which I believe is for only one is the David Elmquist case and if you don't know who she is I would love for you to watch that video and like and share and sign the petition and you'll see why when you watch the video so there's a few good ones actually they're amazing so let me know if you've ever heard of them or if you haven't and if you haven't let me know when you watch one from each of them I have suggested these to a lot to people and for some reason everybody goes to Stephanie and then the binge watch her which is kind of funny but again I'm sorry I misinterpreted what you said so hopefully you will let me know if you know these three and I'm sorry for the novel lol😆 oh my gosh I'm such an airhead you said you found humans and I was taking that completely out of context I'm going to have to check out that channel for sure
@@rachelrae860 Mrballen is the best! What's go great about his channel is that he tells it from a view point to where it's a mystery until the end and then there's a plot twist and you find out what really happened. My favorite are his missing 411 cases. There's definitely an element of something paranormal. After binge watching his chanell I've come to the conclusion that aliens are abducting people and not putting them back where the found them lbvs.
i am so hooked on your channel. I have watched several channels where others do the same, but not as good as you. I always come back for more. Great story telling, great personality, and such a kind heart. Thanks Daniel, for all the research, but by bringing your thoughts and feelings to the table.Kuddos babe!
Rest In Peace to the victims. My deepest sincere condolences to there family and friends
I’ve heard this case and I just want to point out how brave Kayla was. After she was tortured and found she remained calm and composed while she told the police the story. She’s often ridiculed for this because people think she should have been in a panic but I think she did amazing
People down here always find a way to blame the woman victim. Always.
Can’t wait to watch! Just sitting down ❤ Love from 🇨🇦 thanks for all your hard work 🤗
I have read the book, it overwhelmed me. How can someone have such a disregard for life.
This story is wild! And how he got caught is nuts!
you’re the only true crime youtuber that i know that actually acknowledges the victims at the end, thank you so much for that. and i hope they are all doing okay
Love how much you elaborate on so many things!
You told this story so differently that I didn't realise I'd heard it before until 40 minutes in!
You have quickly become my favourite RUclipsr! You tell a great story!
He’s so matter of fact when confessing. He was craz. Explore with us has the whole interview. I highly recommend watching it
i was waiting all day for you to post today and you did not disappoint. this case truly made me sad. all he wanted was to feel powerful and he's proud of what he's done. at least the world doesn't need to deal with him anymore. my heart goes out to the victims and their families.
You said it correctly! Law-der-dale. I lived down there for a few years in my 20's but even though I hate the cold I missed the seasons. The humidity was crazy. It gets super humid where I live in Boston MA but FL was a whole different story. 🥵 🔥. Your pronunciation was spot on♥️ Love your videos so much!
I’ve never take the time to thank you for this.. but thank you so much for always giving a warning for sensitive topics. I always skip forward when you warn us about animal abuse.
I have seen the "you guys would have been proud" footage before and whilst I thoroughly understand what those Detectives were trying to get out of him I will never be able to understand how they didn't at least say something to refute that comment back to him.
It was honestly heartbreaking to hear.
Yeah that was tough to watch. Internally screaming "yeah it's a whole lot quicker and easier to do a breach and clear when it's unarmed innocents". The reason it takes the police so long to do things like drug busts is because they're trying to take everyone in alive.
It must be so hard for detectives to play into the criminals minds and be friendly with them. You can tell when he laughs it’s fake and I feel he hates himself for laughing but he does his job well. Thank you for telling this story!!
Hey Danielle, may I suggest you two absolutely insane cases - Children of Kurim and story of Nicholas Barclay. I would love to hear your take on those!
it’s terrible, but every time i can’t help but chuckle at “How are ya honey” and “you know where your buddy is?”
I’m so glad she is out, and safe and sound. It’s just the dramatic difference between the terrifying situation and the conversation.
This is insane because I remember reading a really cryptic review on Amazon like his reviews. I can’t remember what it was on, but I thought it was just a sick joke. I definitely will report stuff like that in the future.
In 2016 I was planning my trip to New York with my mum all while this was happening. I find it bizarre when you know what you were doing on a specific day while something horrendous as this was happening.
