That was one brave man,had his throat cut,son shot in front of him,then burried alive and still managed to find help .
Amazing.
@@tweetscotchy1093 most definitely .
Not only that, wouldn't let people help until they found and tried to save his son...
And the other two victims not telling where the money was. I'm no fan if death penalty but won't cry about this case leading to it
I agree.
Butch is the real MVP
I hope he's doing alright today
Butch fought death to bring justice to his 12-year-old son. That's what a father does. Cheers to him! May his son rest in peace!
brings me to tears...and I've become pretty damned jaded by Mike's cavalier attitude.
Butch is what a father should be, while Chris Watts is everything that a father should NOT be...
You mean that's what a "good" father does
@@kathycochran544 bad fathers aren't fathers.
Luckily he didn't bleed out. The parents who don't survive their attacks aren't bad because they couldn't protect their kids, but I'm glad there was a survivor from these attacks to see some justice for the other murders. A 12 year old kid wtf is wrong with people
"He refused to leave until they found his son" has to be the most heartbreaking words I've ever heard. With his throat cut he only worried about his son. The perfect definition of what a parent should be. So heartbreaking
I bet Michael and Jimmy shit a brick when they found out butch survived.
Right?! I wanted to see their faces when they were told. Can you imagine?
@@RdaleJude Yep, I wanted to see that too. His response would have proven his guilt. Weird that they didn't execute him with a shot to the head like everyone else in this story though.
@Brix Broox I bet that crooked bondsman spends all day every day wishing he had done just that, and if that thought alone makes the remainder of his life hell then thats good enough for me
That poor father that wouldn't leave until they found his son....
yes he met the devil and lived , it cant be an easy or pleasant for him get up every day
@@joeennis2571 or sadly to say sleep at night but as hard as that was ,at leased he seemed a very strong man
Sad
I can't imagine. Poor man will probably be forever troubled about this loss.
Heart breaker for sure
Not only did he dig himself out with his slit throat, but he didn't even leave for help until after he had also somehow dug up his son as well. That is true love. Sound like his son was amazing as well. In his last moments, he was pleading for them to spare his dad's life... his 1st instinct was to cry out for his dad's safety instead of his own! Sounds like a really good man who was also a great dad & raising a great young man!!!
🥺🥀
Indeed!!
Both are true statements, but I am not sure why TC decided to to do a chapter on this Family, since it was bugger all, why did he bother?
So heartbreaking.
@@jaxcaulfield7071 ENGLISH ??????????
As a Momma I just cannot freaking imagine this nightmare! Watching your baby be murdered for 40k that you already handed over. He just wanted his baby to be found and buried properly, then he wanted to die by refusing treatment. Whatever police officer that told him to allow treatment for himself or his baby’s murderer would go free is a damn hero! That officer was able to break through the father’s shock and horror at exactly the right moment. My heart aches for him 💔😢
I can't even imagine not only having your child murdered in front of you, but then being buried alive on top of his dead body. that man must've survived from pure adrenaline.
That poor single dad :( He tried so hard to raise his son the best he could.
It’s so sad I hate people who feel they can hurt children it’s so disturbing
Yeah that was really messed up. He must have known what was going to happen as they were driving back. Really sad
Alex. Yes it is so sad. No amount of karma could ever do justice to that poor dad. What a world we live in.
Just horrible. While watching this my little boy also called Alex came into the room to show me a video game he's playing. I gave him an extra strong hug just thinking about this. God Bless that poor little lad and what a great Dad.
I can’t imagine trying to go on after surviving something like that. That poor man.
The way the cop says over the radio "No bullshit" and "this is a _bad_ one" is absolutely horrific to me for some reason
Cops see the worst of the worst so, if something puts _them_ on edge, it's probably nothing nice
11:30 ("no bullshit")
11:41 ("this is a bad one")
Same here. You don't expect cops saying something like that and it attests to how shaken the cop must have been at the sight and story.
@@kingayy9267 we know
Me too... they see so much in their careers so it’s pretty meaningful when even they’re shocked.
What an amazing father + son. Fighting for the other’s lives in potentially their last moments. They weren’t thinking of self survival, but of the one they loved. I’m actually crying. How could someone kill a 12 year old boy while he’s pleading for not his life, but his father’s. My heart is broken again from this one, Mike. I think this is the most scary + sad case of all.
Me too!!!
I feel the same, I'm crying too😢
"Only butch wasn't dead" the fucking chills that gave me were insane.
The boy was like his father. In his final moments, he pled for his _father's_ life, not his own. They are both courageous, honorable, and righteous souls!!!
Exactly!! I cried I couldn’t imagine that. I couldn’t live without my son being gone
They r both rare kind of people. This is a case that actually made me cry.
Well said
Thats just so sad :( 😞
@Luxury Brown Who are you addressing (if me, pls continue on)? Your comment reads as contradictory, because it lacks certitude. Could you clarify? What exactly is it, which you assert "that I don't know for sure"? With which of my statements do you take issue (of course disagreeing with me is no bad thing, as lively debate is one of the best means of ferreting out the truth)? I really only make two assertions. Hence, do you disagree with assertion a) that "The boy is like his father - a courageous, honorable and righteous soul", or b) that "in his final moments, he pled for his father's life, not his own", which in my view, is the most compelling, amongst a host of reasons I perceive him _to be_ "a courageous, honorable, and righteous soul"? Or, is it something I've not divined? With which of my statements do you find fault, and why?
If you kindly explain, I'll happily reply/support my side of the debate. Cheers!
I've never heard of anyone, and I mean ANYONE harder than my boy Butch. "... ear to ear... climbed out of the grave..." DAMN Butch is an example of human determination at its finest.
When Jimmy Brooks turned himself in, it was because he was scarred of what Butch might end up doing to him. Jimmy’s words were, “I’m a dead man either way”.
I can’t blame him for feeling that way. If you cut a man’s throat, shoot his son in front of him, bury him alive, and he’s determined enough to live through it, then you’d better be scared of what he might do to you.
And if I heard correctly, Mike said slit TWICE ear-to-ear
Definitely badder than Leroy Brown..
I think we were all gobsmacked to learn he survived. My jaw dropped that's for sure.
Alabama bad boy
RIP Brett, your dad stopped not one, but three, monsters. Butch is a hero. I hope he finds peace with the knowledge that he was responsible for saving the lives of many.
This breaks my heart to the very core . As
as a father of 3 boys ... I know my will to protect and love would be of the same caliber ... Rest in the sweetest of peace little man :(
"....Only Butch wasn't dead"
Gave me chills.
imagine being able to give that man a lot of power in that moment, we would have try to save is son first and them spent his entire life butchering those objects ..i can;t call them people.
That’s some punisher stuff right there
Saaaaaame 😵💫
must have been in total shock.... i've heard of people having heart attacks from all the trauma,...butch is a very strong person
Yo SAMMME
The footage is chilling and absolutely heart breaking. You can hear the shaking in the polices voice when they’re saying “it’s bad....” omg. The dad not wanting to leave his son even though his neck is sliced open is just wow I can’t even imagine
“Hey Ron, no bullshit”... that’s how you know.
Right? I've never heard the cops so shook up in any of these cases!
God you’ve summarised it even more painfully, it’s just brutal
@@BackrowErnie Yes...painful and brutal. I am glad he survived to get those horrible people.
11:40 "this is a bad one" the seriousness in his voice.... He cant even believe it.
Never underestimate what you do you kept my mind occupied when I really need it . I'm a recovering addict who feels pretty good now and you contributed to that and I thank you
Good for you, that can’t be easy. Stay strong, man 🙏🏻
I'm with you in recovery man.
And I'm with you on these types of channels giving my mind something to focus on when not much else does.
Good luck on your travels x
I've got 27 years off drugs. Just decide you're a completely different person, and be that person. I have no desire to ever walk that dark demonic road again. Pray to be well, and thrive in your new life. A real life. Goodluck
I have the feeling that this is the most gruesome story you ever covered. Imagine lying in a hole on the dead body of your child, your throat cut - twice - and being burried alive. I just can't.
I completely agree!! I've left multiple comments trying to process this story, it IS one of the worst I've ever heard. It is shattering. I thought it couldn't get worse that the sweet couple.. Then it got worse. Much worse. I'm flattened by the evil of these murderers.
When a cop in the states says "This is bad." That's bad.
Exactly! Those words aren't used lightly.
They see the worst things that human beings can do to each other, they have an extremely high tolerance to situations that would make the average citizen recoil in horror. As you rightly say, if they say it’s bad then it’s guaranteed to be pretty abhorrent.
I’ve one friend who is a Police Officer and one who is a forensic photographer for the Police, they’ve seen stuff that I know is way beyond what us regular joes would consider tolerable, I’m glad we have them out there doing it but I’m not sure I could ever swap places with them.
You could tell he was really shaken up
Police live people's worst nightmares.
@Lbot beenthere Projecting much?
This story brought tears to my eyes,, some people are pure evil.
The dad's adrenaline pulsing through his body is what kept him alive and going. Im sure he passed out from the adrenaline dumb & pain
When you're so shocked all you can come up with is "this is a bad one." Damn. Two adults murdered, a third nearly murdered, a 12-year-old boy executed, and how many others traumatized, to grow some weed? Feed them to rats.
Hit me when he said that. So simple, rarely so true.
can't believe they've still never been executed. should've been done within the year.
Feed them to the rats then bury them while they're still barely alive.
@@sleepful1917 Would you please volunteer to do it? Temember, You are asking *somebody else* to end a person's life because *you* don't want them to live.
@@vinny142 okay. i volunteer to do it
The fact that this guy was still up and walking in that video even though he had his throat cut is insane!
AND after digging himself out of his (presumed) grave
Twice. He had his throat cut twice.
My heart goes out to that father. So sad. Poor Kid, getting shot in the head being just an innocent little Boy.
He is an absolute trooper never say die kinda guy RIP to his son unfortunately his life is completely ruined aswell .
What a brave fuckin soul
That dad loved his son so much. Absolutely heart breaking. I'm glad he could, at the very least, help bring down the killers.
I never know how I feel about the death penalty until I hear about cases like these.
criminal sympathizer
This is one of the saddest ones you've done.
@Trestine Smith This is my opinion as well.
I read comments before watching and was actually relieved to hear the son had been shot in the head. It’s terrible he had to watch what was done to his father but at least it would have been quick and he didn’t have to suffer. My heart bleeds for his family though, especially this poor man. I’ll never comprehend what some people are willing to do for money.
Bawled most of the way through. I've never done that. 😭
This World Sucks I’m literally on the edge of crying watching this one too. I’ve never felt like this when watching TC’s other videos either.
it is. awful absolutely awful. 😔💔
hearing the officer say over the radio “this is a bad one” gave me chills. this poor dude...
I love your profile pic!
Yeah it was the way he said it ....
Also him clarifiying that he was serious about what he was going to say because the story sounds so wrong
Killing someone’s 12 year old child is the lowest thing you can do. I’m glad at least the father lived to carry on the sons amazing memories. I hope he was able to find some peace.
I've never cried from one of these stories, but this story is so harrowing and devastating. Butch is one of the strongest men I have ever heard of. This on finally got me.
Every time Mike says “Hey you”, it feels like an old friend. Love you Mike.
I answer back "Hi Mike" every single video. :-)
An old friend who can't remember your name.
es a great ol lad Mike!
It’s so true!
I know! Such a likable cool person this little guy, I 💙 his storytelling and funny commentary 🤗😊
Can't imagine being the father..going through all that..seeing your kid murdered..digging yourself out..and then trying to explain to the cops while you're bleeding out. That was freakin' intense.
I cried a little bit. Made me sick to hear the poor dad telling them to go get his boy.
The original kill bill
@@tommyegirl Twisted my stomach to see/hear the footage. Especially when the cop is talking with dispatch..when a cop says "it's bad" over the radio, you know it's some serious business.
That’s what I was thinking
This particular story is really getting to me. Obv all of them are horrible but something abt this one is especially savage. IDK why it's so much more upsetting?
I just can't get over how much of a badass that dude is. He didn't just cheat death, he bent death over the toilet and gave it a swirly.
Man that’s a sad story, I couldn’t imagine having to see my kid killed in front of me. I’m glad the dad survived and worked with the cops. I would have regrettably went to find them myself
“Wouldn’t leave his son” gave me goosebumps. Tragic
Ditto. Chills coarsed through my body when I heard him saying to get his boys body😔. I actually replayed that part of that AMAZING FATHER when he's walked to the 🚑 & the EMT is trying to "treat" him=SAVE HIS LIFE...Yet he's refusing, saying he wants his son body before he receives treatment...& you can literally hear the EMT trying to work out where his son is(because the fact that he literally JUST AT THAT VERY MOMENT was just relayed the info that he's got a son out there ~due to the father saying that. So I could just imagine the confusion that he's going through as a first responder, because immediately after hearing the father say that, he responds with something like "yes/of course"...realizing/or believing that there's a second victim now, whose been shot & the fact that he's just now hearing about the 2nd victim~ & hearing words like "my son was shot" & "his body"...so in the EMT's head, he's automatically in triage-mode, thinking about getting the backboard in order to get to the patients son and get him back to the 🚑 to Immediately start treatment on him/etc)....however once he heard the father explain that he's burried in a grave/whilst simultaneously hearing the officer who had called his chief, in order to explain the dire situation & the dilemma they're in...with regards to the father refusing treatment until they FULLY "dig up" his son's body(because as far as law enforcements side...that's a whole new can of worms...as far as having the foresight of preserving the scene & not wanting to compromise the integrity of the crime scene by trudging thru the crime scene, without CSI there to wear the proper gear & equipment: booties/gloves/etc so that they don't destroy evidence and contaminate the scene with THEIR OWN shoes/hair/prints/etc, because at that moment, the Officer didn't know that the father Actually KNEW the garbage🗑-suspects identity.) -But anyway, so yeah it's quite hair-raising because you can actually HEAR the EMT saying, "GRAVE⁉️" in response to the father when he's trying to find out where to get the 2nd victim...and then the father repeats "yes grave"...& again ~whilst he hears the the father saying that...he's simultaneously hearing the officers verify that fact, when he's telling his Cheif and describing the awful situation that occurred and explaining how the father LEGIT JUST DUG HIMSELF AND HIS SON PARTIALLY OUT OF THEIR OWN FREAKIN' GRAVE‼️ SMH...Just the thought of this HERO(the father)and how he was LITERALLY BURRIED ALIVE❗And as gruesome as it it sounds...unfortunately for the son, he WAS NOT buried alive; he was passed-on already after being shot. But I'm just taking solice in the fact that his son didn't have to suffer...his death came quick & immediate after being fatally shot...after all of the suffering and terror that his poor father and he had suffered through just prior to his death😔it's Absolutely Heartbreaking. All for some stupid marijuana growing scheme...GREEDY EVIL BEASTS.
-Anyway...sorry for rambling on-&-on for so long...I should have just kept my comment short and sweet, with a simple "I agree!" response...but anyway I'm just gonna stfu now because I'm literally STILL rambling🤦🏻♀️
Same.
I literally got chills all over when Mike said "Only Butch wasn't dead." You have to have an iron will to survive your throat cut twice, witness your son murdered, dig yourself and your son out of the grave in which you were thrown, and walk to find help, and then refuse help for yourself until they helped your son. Maybe he couldn't save his son's life but he definitely made sure that the monsters who took his son's life, and the lives of the other couple, paid for their crimes.
I was about to comment the same about the chills 🥶
That's not iron thats a pure titanium will
I live near Opelika and I was amazed to hear someone pronounce the name properly. Especially with Mike's delightful lilt. I love this channel!
The fact that he says he didn't do anything and he can live with himself, meaning no remorse, is just inconceivable. I can live with myself if he gets the death penalty....
That father... I'm a father myself with a kid around that age and this really hit close to home. Can't even begin to imagine the pain. All the best for him.
Me too. This story is one of the worst I've ever heard. 1st the couple then the father and son... All behind greed. Pure evil & I don't say that often.
@@daniellebyers352 Same here. I'm still shocked. The footage with the cop saying " This is a bad one" with a shaking voice haunts me. Poor little boy and what a courageous father..
I went into my 13-year-old son's room and hugged him, just hugged him. I think I freaked him out a little. This is a horrifying crime. The love of his dad, risking his life quite literally until they located his son's body and ensuring he got proper justice.
I love all he did and would not leave until they found his son! That is devotion.
"My boys been shot three times"..... He heard every shot with his throat gashed open......
And the most sickening part when one reads the Court documents is discovering that when Brooks shot Brett the first time, Brett was making gurgling sounds. Brooks then, joking and laughing with Carruth said "the little MF doesn't want to die" and subsequently shot him two more times while they continued to laugh and joke. Pure evil.
"The devil's lettuce" cracks me up every time 😂
That poor father! To lose your son like that & to be faced with it every day must be pure hell, but to be faced with what happened, in detail when he looks in mirror & sees his scars...I have no words. 💔💔
This one was really difficult to watch. I can't imagine the terror that little boy must have felt. This is every parent's worst nightmare.
Exactly. I've been commenting throughout the thread bcz I'm so undone by this story. Obv all of the stories are tragic but why is this so much worse?!
Out of all of the videos I’ve watched from TC, this one hit me like I knew them irl. I can’t imagine going through something like this.
Imagine having to tell your son it will be ok, knowing it will not. The moment he saw those holes dug i bet his spine went cold and knew there was no escape
@@daniellebyers352 See how many times people use the word "imagine" in the comments? That's your answer. As a single parent of a son I have no problem imagining myself in this fathers place. The would of could of should of not to mention the survivor's guilt. I truly would of come undone.
Yes, it’s an evil world, isn’t it. I’m afraid to have kids and bring them into this evil. There are so many deeply disturbing cases.
"He was buried and dug himself out......" that line gives me chills
No kidding..
+ that ear to ear cut
That video honestly made me cry
Buried Alive, just saying it makes my heart rate go up. Scary creepy.
God this was horrifying to hear. Almost made me tear.. "he refused to leave until they found his son" 😢
What a father, wow.
I’m going to go off the limb and say these guys are still on death row living, eating, breathing snd laughing 18 years later.
As someone who lives in Phenix City, AL, this story is very familiar to me. Hearing you recount it gave me chills. Thank you for covering it so well!
I live in Montgomery 🙂
Oh shit another local, and yeah scary AF being so close to this
“I’ve gotta get my boy 1st..”
Jesus Christ 😭😭😭 my heart!!
Imagine his son thinking he was leaving with his father and then his father sees his deceased son , this is so painfully heartbreaking
I know.. it hurt my soul 💜🙏🥲
The video of him pleading with the cops to find his son while bleeding out and the tone of the cops voices really got me. "This is a bad one." Understatement.
Still have the chills just reading your comment
19:51 “There was a turd man too…” 🤣 I love you so much Mike! But I also feel kinda guilty (not really) that I get so much happiness from listening to you tell stories about horrific things that have happened to people
Literally brought tears to my eyes. The evil of some people is unbelievable, I hope this man has found some peace in the time since this terrible crime.
Ever since I became a parent, child murders just hit different. I can’t even hardly listen when it’s a child that’s been murdered.
Exactly. This murder is beyond description. I'm 100% certain that part of Butch died that night & I'm having an especially difficult time with this story. My whole heart goes out to Butch.
Same there's alot I can't sit through
Same here. It’s so hard to listen
The hard part for me (being a mom also) is hearing that a parent had to witness their child be murdered, and then survive only to live with the horrendous vision. How do you ever live life happy again? Heartbreaking. 😔
Unfortunately our family recently experienced a murder. On October 4th my niece's 22 year old daughter was found dead in her apartment. My niece and her son found her. She had been dead a couple of days by then.
I can't wrap my mind around why someone would deliberately take her life. So senseless.
How can someone kill a 12 year boy, in front of his father and then go to sleep at night
They're psychopaths and sociopaths. They don't feel remorse for what they do.
They don’t think about it.
Weed is enough, apparently. People will still make every excuse for that childish drug.
By putting their head on the pillow and fall asleep.
Great question. It makes me sick.
Hey Mike, I'm Brenda, here in Sylvan Lake, Alberta, Canada. I'm great, thanks for askin'! I've recently stumbled upon your vids and am enjoying the shite out of them, thank you Sir!
I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see my Community featured in one of your tales! People really are fucked up these days!! Cheers!
After binge watching a few dozen of these over the past few days, this one really got to me. I’m a single dad with a 6 yo son. Some cold blooded scumbaggery right there. That father gets endless respect.
The quaking in that officers voice! I can’t imagine how horrific that must’ve been like to see in person. And to actually defy such a fatal cut for the sake of his boy’s justice! A true father.
That Officer -"Whats your name"
"Guy tells his name."
Officer-"Okay whats you name"
He was excited shitless.
Well it clearly wasn't a fatal cut. Presumably the guys windpipe wasn't severed, because he could talk still. He didn't survive because of some amazing character trait, it was just not a deep enough cut.
@@unitedfools3493 no need to be a snob about it, I’m not clueless enough to think that his windpipe was sliced. But there is enough bleeding visible to see that if he hadn’t tried his damnest to dig himself out of that grave, he wouldn’t have been able to reach anyone in time to be found.
@@unitedfools3493 You're just gonna ignore the "buried alive" part huh?
@@unitedfools3493 ur wind pipe doesnt need to be cut, just the artery which the man held shut after digging himself out of his own grave.
God bless that father could not even begin to imagine his Pain. May his son rest In Peace
I may not be a believer in your God but this was such a kind thing to say.
Amen
What a tragic heartbreaking horror. It is very kind of you to say.
Imagine having to dig your way out, knowing you're laying on top of your dead child...
I hope that warrior of a man is doing as well as possible now. I hope he's healed and is thriving in memory of his lost son.
@@SEP0...0HEP 🤍🎗 I to share tht same feeling.
... Amen.
This is so dad poor father was a good dad and lost his precious son in a sickening way not to mention the old people that also died I'm glad atleast the money in both cases was found and returned to the families
My mouth is still open in shock... tears in my eyes butch your more than any father God bless you... and that daughter God bless her as well... how can people be so disgusting and calous... may those beautiful souls rest in peace...
Wow. I can't imagine being buried alive, with a slit throat, with murdered son by his side, and still manage to dig himself up and get help. I know so many people already said it, but that's courage and strength, I hope he's doing well now
He wouldn’t leave until they found his son. Damn
Man he was a legend for doing that
I wouldn't neither
As a parent, I don't think many would. What a horrible thing. Those cops were smart to bring up that the assholes would get away with it if he didn't accept medical help. Bout the only way they'd be a able to drag most of us away.
That's a damn gr8 daddy
Wish every dad was like that
Jesus Christ, this is a weird one. And I've seen pretty much all of your videos. Imagine finding someone with his throat cut still trying to find his son. He's a strong one. Damn.
@@urbandesitv3529 it's just a phrase people use when something is bizarre or outrageous. You're not literally calling upon Jesus Christ. Some might say it's profanity, but since I don't believe in God, nor that Jesus is his supposed son, I don't feel that way. For me it's just a way of emphasizing my emotions about something. I hope that answers your question.
@@urbandesitv3529 whatever you believe dude. I'm from the West, where Christian culture is prevalent. Hence why this name has caught on. I'm pretty sure they use other names or words in India or China. Just because a certain part of the world has been using a name (that was extremely common in Israel back in the day) doesn't mean someone with that name is actually a God. But if you want to go down that road that's totally up to you. It's just a colloquial term to me. And many others, I presume .
@@urbandesitv3529 wow. You just made about 5 assumptions about me that we never even discussed previously. That alone tells me everything I need to know about your intentions. I explained why I said what I said and that was enough for me. But it somehow wasn't for you. You haven't got the faintest idea what I do and don't believe. You never asked. You only know I don't believe in God and Jesus as the son of God. The rest you claim to know about me is nothing but assumptions. Considering you don't really care to listen, I bid you a very fond farewell.
Dude, you edited your comment and added something about muslims and lgbtq. And now you're mad I didn't answer this question you didn't ask in the first place 😂. You truly are something. Ok. Now I'm done. Have a nice day 😗
I think I've watched just about all of your videos, and this may have been the most difficult to finish. This is really hard to imagine going through.
Butch loved his boy!!! And I'm sure Butch Jr. loved his dad just as much! Glory to our Heavenly Father!
Who knows how many lives that man saved just by managing to survive. What a hero.
This just may be the scariest case you've covered yet, Mike...
Holy shit.
Holy shit indeed!
Carly Michelle, I wasn't prepared for this story. Mike usually gives it his best and can cover the cases with sympathy and humour. This time it was simply awful, shocking, and how I would love to get my hands on disgusting creatures like these 'men'.
@@brendaprice665 those aren't men those are straight DEMONS!! but I know how you feel...God bless
@@morgangadbois2092 those were less than dirt.
I'm letting the video go so the channel will get the view but I had to turn the sound off, this is horrific. I couldn't make it 10 minutes...The recordings had me in tears. Hats off to you Mike and your team for being able to re-tell this story and give the case the respect and seriousness it deserves.
At the time I lived only a few miles from Butch's home. I think about it every time I drive by his place. Thanks for doing this story, Butch is an amazing man and deserves to be known.
This is simply devastating. Rest In Peace, sweet child 💗
This is one of the worst I’ve heard of, even the cop radioing in the situation was in shock. RIP to his son, so young and innocent and he had to go through absolute horror.
All I could think of was that poor father digging himself out of that grave and realizing his son was dead. How he fought to stay alive was the act of a true man.
So sad his son was killed, the boy was no danger to anyone pure evil, they could have just left him in the house!!!
it makes me so anxious that they had a full blown conversation before the dad would let himself get medical treatment
This is so sad 😭 making me cry poor man. Brave and his little son was too at the end. Breaks my heart.
Mike - first of all, I have no idea how you have the time to do 2 of these every week. It seems like a ton of work. I'm especially appreciative of your ever-increasing sense of humor for entertainment purposes and your ingenious way of incorporating 911 calls and actual footage of events. It's so nice seeing this stuff explained in 20-30 minutes without having re-enactments. It's also really nice to see that someone like you who really enjoys what he does, is so focused on putting out such a great product. Thank you for doing these!!!
I agree. He brings in his own brand of humor on these serious cases without being disrespectful to the victims. The perps don't deserve respect so making of them is truly entertaining.
Yeah, thanks Mike, we appreciate all you do. Remember to take a break, you work very hard.
yep usually you have a team.
He heard gunshots and shortly after was thrown ontop of his son in a shallow grave. All while playing dead and having his throat cut .... What a nightmare..
Absolutely! Only a true monster does $hit like this. 🤬 Yet because _he_ didn't die, the attacker will get 4 years..... of probation!! 🤬🤬🤬
No, the father was thrown onto the son's body
Actually the father was thrown in second and rolled onto his son. Either way though, a nightmare indeed.
@@Digitalhunny I can't believe that. I don't understand why criminals get off easy just because the victim is too tough to die. The intent was obvious. They WANTED to kill him. They tried to kill him. I don't understand why they don't get the same sentence as if they did.
@@Digitalhunny They both got the death penalty
This story is particularly shocking for me because I was born and raised in Phenix City and I never heard about it. Looking into it the son and I went to the same school and were in the same grade. Just different teachers. Holy shit.
After watching this case.....I've lost all of my faith in humanity! Those poor people! That grieving father, frantic for his son. The evil that lurks in the heart of man......I'll never be the same 😢 R.I.P to all the poor victims! Butch is a true hero....bless him 💔
I've literally stopped watching every single other true crime RUclips channel since finding That Chapter. I may also have a slight crush on your sense of humour. God help me.
Def not alone in that.... Cute awkwardness is SO attractive!!
I’m joining in the club guys, such a great channel.
TC and one other - They Got Away With Murder. TGAWM covers very old cases in a very articulate British accent, very different from TC but with its own brand of charm.
Same here!
@@gtw4546 I'll have to check it out thanks! 😊
That Dad is a hero. He may have lost his son but he damn sure did everything he could. This one is the most heart breaking case you've covered.
400 likes?!! Gonna quit my job and take this on tour 😁😁😁
Totally. Having been raised by a single father myself my heart just sunk.
Oh man i gotta agree with you. Totally insane this one.
Steph 567 now 👏👏😂😂🇬🇧
618 now! Next stop… Hollywood!!!
2002 was the year I graduated and started college in Orlando. What a great year for me. Sorry for the lost of Butch. That poor kid. 😔I'm glad they caught those SOB's
Do you watch Marvel or DC ? Look here - Thats a true hero. RIP little boy. Somewhere grows a flower just as beauty as you.
Poor poor little lad. Absolutely heartbreaking for the farther 😭 how do you ever come Back from that...
Literally the only way would be letting the guy have his way with the killer
@@KiteAndKeyProductions Nothing can heal the wounds...
@@ashhydra4689 Facts
I sometimes wonder if Mike's book reports and presentations in school were this good. Bet no one missed class when it was his turn
@@simonam8030 and we are the ones who just sat and watched ahaha
@@ellamortimer7401 Yup :)
Maybe he should create a channel to read brothers Grimm tales and call it Lil' Chapter,
I'd prolly watch it.
@Jeffrey Dohnger about every other episode
When Mike takes his glasses off, he ain't messin' around.
"I need to go get my boy first." No greater dad has ever lived.
That poor dad. I can't even imagine. May his son RIP. God bless this man and family and loved ones.
Damn. I was really hoping we would watch the look on his face when he was told Butch was still alive.
Agreed!! I came here looking for this comment. I wish they would have showed that!!
He was clearly a psychopath. Psychopathy causes a heavily reduce fight or flight response. It really wouldn't have phased him at all.
Right! Priceless! Weed is not even legal there.. it is just sooo stupid and pointless. Poor Butch. I am so amazed at this man. As many of us know, we would do literally ANYTHING for our children.
“Only butch wasn’t dead “
I’m speechless.
He was dead wrong
I gasped so loud bro Butch sounds invincible, the man is incredible and I just hope can once again find peace of mind bc imagine going through that
I'd left my phone on my counter and went to the other side of the kitchen to put something back in the fridge... I damn near gave myself whiplash when I heard that! And a very audible gasp at 0130 😅🥴
My mouth fell open and I froze staring at the screen at that point
I wonder how it was "revealed" Butch was still alive---
Showing up in the interrogation room's doorway would have been priceless...
It sickens me to know that monsters like this exist (and are often rewarded for their behavior - monsters sadly come in many forms). Tragic. I'm so sorry for the victims. Hearing about crimes like this are so upsetting it seems like the courts, even in the rare case they're working - and when at their most firm, aren't able to dole out justice deserving of the crime.
I didn't expect this case to be so horrific. Imagine the dads feelings when he realized that he not only got abducted but also told the killers about his son being in the house too. Just terrible all around. So happy they got these monsters
The father will not forgive himself for revealing that he had a son sleeping.Those people are so wicked

@babetoo87
I doubt it would have mattered. Those men were intent on finding something. If he had not spoken up about his son sleeping, after driving the Dad to the construction site & killing him; they probably would have went back to ransack the house. Thus, finding the boy & with their evil hearts, probably would have murdered him anyway.
It wouldn't of mattered. He knew the kid from town. He hired him for some jobs at his car dealership right? He must of known something was up.
@ 16:37 They say he hired him a few times, so he shouldve known it wasn't the cops.
@@alexfriedman2047 i dont think he realised who they were till after they cuffed and put him in the car
@@hell2thennnaw Possibly yeah, but what eveidence do you have for this theory???
As a father it absolutely broke my heart hearing him refusing to leave until they found his son
When Mike said Alabama, my jaw dropped! I never thought we would visit a town close to MY hometown, in our journeys on That Chapter! Weird thing is, I never heard about this case, despite living fairly close! Thanks for this one Mike!!🙌😉
Same! It's an hour away from me
OMG the fact that Butch survived being buried alive with his son shot and killed is unreal I cannot imagine those ppl were evil in the flesh
Imagine how many people are buried in the woods that haven’t been found
Video starts at 1:50 :)
In the usa mexico border millions
Deff hoffa
I'd say seven
At least twenty five
I literally cried during the cops cams. That's a fathers true love. And what strength he has!
I'm a grown man and I teared up a little at that part. Horrifying. What monsters could do such a thing.
True tragedy 😔
I cried during that moment, too. Heartbreaking stuff...
Also, Jedi Extraordinaire - it's spelt "Kenobi," not Kanobi
@@jamesduncan6729 I know. When I wanted to use it for WOW I misspelled it and it just stuck 🤷🏼♀️
1:28.....I love that sort of folk song that Mike uses as back round music during the opening set up in a lot of his videos.
The father and the son ❤️
A boy who turned out to be a real man, as just like his father. Rest in peace, dear. You would be the same age as I am right now ❤️
Well said
The world needs more people like Butch, what a legend.
YES SIR, WE ABSOLUTELY DO!!!! :)
No seriously , dug himself out with a slit throat and refused to leave until his son was found
I feel awful for the girl who lost her parents too... first she lived through that kidnapping and sexual assault, which must have been terrifying and difficult to deal with already... and then she finds her parents murdered. I hope she's ok.
Shut your mouth feminist

You hear awful stories and you wait for THAT line and this story has it.
"... Only Butch wasn't dead" and i smiled. You just know that mike has the details of what happened to the lad and dad because Butch survived.
My names matt, from southern illinois, and im feeling a bit depressed today/lately, but your short documentaries take the edge off and allow me to have a enjoyable time! Thankyou
