I heard a woman screaming one night when I was in my garage. I'd actually been sharpening some tools so grabbed my phone and my knife. Some guy was dragging this woman across her lawn and, unknown to me at the time, had already killed their pet. I yelled out, he looked up and realized it wasn't just me... But 2 other neighbors who had come to investigate. 2 of us armed and 1 already on the phone with police. I'll never understand how people can hear something like that and just ignore it. Shout out to my fellow neighbors who backed me up ✊️ you guys some real ones Edit: Wow 😳 this comment blew up. Thank you for the kind words y'all. I've been reading through the comments and the stories you guys have to share and im so sorry some of you had to go through similar abuse 😔 people can really suck sometimes. We gotta keep looking out for one another. Stay safe everyone 🙏 ❤️
@MistahJ100 Oh yeah, he got arrested. His friend/brother/whatever whipped around in a car, he jumped in, and they dipped before the cops showed up. But we had the make/model and the plate # so they didn't get far.
I had a serious fall inside my house when i was by myself. I had injuries to my pelvis and legs and was in immense pain. I yelled out help once then passed out I know all this because i have camera's. Within 2 minutes 3 of my neighbours were trying to get in and police and ambulance was called. One neighbour jumped my 6 foot high fence and crawled through the doggy door and was by my side in 5 minutes time. Amazing people. It happened to be the first time we all met properly. Now we are all great friends.
Wow! Can I move next door? Once I was walking my dog and realized 2 coyotes had split up an were coming from 2 directions. I screamed GET THE F@@K OUTTA HERE OVER AND OVER, saw an lit up enclosed porch and crossed the street to go to their door. When I looked back I couldn't see them but now I didn't know where they were 🥺 I live in a cop and firefighter neighborhood and not one person came out! Another time I kicked an uneven sidewalk, took a running fall and broke my thumb in 2 places, hit my forehead, lip and knees. (but I never let go of my phone or my dogs leash) 😳😕 Blood was flowing like crazy and I could have called 911 but I wanted to get Wiggy home. I left a trail of blood and made it home but once again no one heard or saw me or came out. Being alone sucks 🤷🏻♀️
I rolled my foot and both knees, tore ligament in my foot and months later if I stay in one position too long I look like a 90 year old trying to walk. I yelled once and three neighbors broke out my window to help me.
@@MenukiDamn..I just had a flashback...I'm a lifelong NYC resident & I STILL remember the Kitty Genovese story..it was one of the stories that gave NYC residents the reputation of being able to IGNORE anything that's going on around them..& basically "Mind their OWN business" ..& while I admit that there are NYC residents that believe that you're asking for trouble by getting involved... I've NEVER been one of them..& I've thrown some POS off the subway for harassing an old woman on the subway as well as standing up to a group of juvenile delinquents who were attempting to rob some innocent tourist looking people...I believe that KARMA will either reward or punish you according to your actions in life.
Two times I called cops for a woman screaming from the direction of a house nearby, one time saying something like " no, please". Nothing came of either. Cops just didn't seem to know what to think of it or care. I won't call again unless I know it's really serious, because they just assume you're nuts or a problem caller yourself if it's not still happening. As if murders or abuse or whatever always takes longer than ten minutes. That might be why people don't call. Nobody actually treats it like "better safe than sorry".
Addict. The meth makes mental illness worse. A lot of people are diagnosed with bipolar disorder when it's really meth rage. Meth users are less likely to overdose than die of violence perpetrated on each other.
@@funnyanimalshorts643 he got a truck on is head after he was already dignosed with bipolar disorder. I think his problems are not the one of an addict.
I wouldn't call it that. Looking at it as if I was sitting there, the cops were trying to get him to confess. They didn't have concrete evidence she was dead or he killed her. So David didn't admit anything and didn't incriminate himself by agreeing to anything they said. It kinda reminds me of the move Law Abiding Citizen. Don't get me wrong, the dudes a piece of sh*t. But he was smart to not admit to anything or fall for what they were saying. Even though the cops were right, what was presented in the interrogation room didn't prove anything.
I called the police when i heard what sounded like a woman being murdered and someone laughing in between screams in the park behind my apartment complex. That park has a steep drop off that views the city and is a popular place for car dates. The police came and investigated and it turns out it was just some teens practicing their "horror movie screams" for tik tok. I have no regrets. The girls were fine. At the end of the day, if it feels wrong, just call.
It is the most unnerving thing to hear someone crying for help. Happened to me late one night when I was lying in bed reading. I could hear noises from the large vacant allotment next door and I thought people might be having a party. Then the words penetrated. I just heard, "Help me, help me," a couple of times. I phoned the police and they did come around, walked all around the allotment and streets, but didn't see anything. Still worries me, but I don't have any regrets either.
@@arolf2524you have to be careful too because some sickos lure others out of their house with “cries”. Yall be careful out there. Crazies can turn on good Samaritans too.
Called the police once in the middle of the night because I heard some guy screaming ‘help’ like he was in pain, several times (this was a very occupied apartment building btw so I KNOW the neighbors heard). I looked out the window and It was coming from a nearby field, so it felt off. After calling 911, I went to investigate with my ex and turns out it was just some drunk guy having a hard time getting up after presumably falling 😅 Still worth it.
@@LysetteZara not about it being smart, just them being done with his BS and letting him know he getting charged and this isn't no framing or accusations. Don't overthink it😅
All of these comments about neighbors coming to the rescue of screaming people reminds me of the time I got trapped in my backyard shed one Texas summer and screamed for help for 2 hours. Fearing I would die from the heat, I eventually managed to break a small window and climb out, seriously injuring myself in the process. Later when retelling the story to multiple neighbors, they all said they heard me and they had all been texting each other "do you hear that? Is someone outside yelling for help?", but not one of them came out of their house to investigate.
I've been on the opposite end of this. I WAS the one screaming for help. Thank God for my neighbor. He heard my screaming and he heard the gun shot (I wasn't hit)and he broke my front door down to help me. If you hear/see something...say/do something! You could be saving a life! Thanks to all the heros!
I used to work at this really nasty hotel in Las Vegas across the street from the Mandalay Bay on the strip. One of the guests calls me and tells me to call 911 because a woman in the next room was getting brutally attacked. I called the police and they came and I told them which room. The police knock on the door, the door opens and the police just burst out laughing. I asked them what was going on and they said “just really loud sex”.
I called the cops just yesterday because I heard screaming across the lake, (I don’t know the neighbors ) Turns out, she accidentally left the car in Neutral and it rolled back on her while she was removing the garbage bin out the driveway. Her husband came to thank me, I’m the only person that made a phone call. The woman was screaming bloody murder and just 1 person called? The world is messed up.
Yeah, lots of people seem to think that since they're not involved, they're not getting involved. Same effect as when someone collapses on the sidewalk, and everyone keeps walking.
I feel paranoid sometimes thinking something very bad will happen soon. Wars around the world, hatred increasing everywhere, population increasing so fast, people on their phone all the time.... This is not progress, it's the end of a civilization
lol seriously this "i'm protecting her, anyone can be bought" and "you're trying to create a narrative" after they ask about him being at her house that morning I would be doing some serious scoffing and eye rolling like come the fuck on david.
an extension of the bystanders effect/rule etc. noone going to want to risk their own life/lives, just human survival instinct! no ape is gonna run in and save a fellow ape, if they themselves cant defeat or escape from whatever is hurting the other ape.
@@SoulDelSol Go live in a low-income appartment for a while, literally sounds like there's a murder every other day because some people are junkies, or stupid, or just dramatic and love yelling at each other for no reason. You'll quickly grow insensitive to this.
I heard a officer once recommend if you are being attacked to yell "FIRE" instead of "HELP" because people are more likely to come running to investigate and/or help. Which is really, really sad.
Idk if I hear someone scream help im immediately investigated.. unfortunately many people assume someone else will help or call cops and not do it themselves.
When I was 15 my neighbor was screaming and her kids were yelling at the man (stepdad) “leave her alone!” I was scared to death. It was just me and my 55 year old mom in the apartment. We didn’t have a phone so my mom walks out and starts going towards the pay phone. I walk with her pleading with her not to get involved. Nothing I said stopped her. She called the police, they came and took care of business. The next day the lady brought my mom some homemade cookies or some kind of dessert. I’m so proud of my mom. She’s my hero. She’s past away 12 years ago but thinking about this makes me tear up till this day. I was a coward but she set a great example for me. I know better now
@@SarahNGeti you might want to consider that 1. She felt that she could still try negotiate with him and de-escalate the situation. 2. She didn't think she was within earshot of anyone who could help 3. She likely feared if she called for help, he might panic and rush to silence her. What's a lot better than just assuming your neighbour might just be having rough sex is to call police to make sure nothing more sinister is at play.
Also "She's alive. She's just on a mission to save the president's daughter so I can't tell you where she is but she went to a hospital/offsite place/none of those two because she's into essential oils."
23.33 That female cop needs to get off her high horse. Im not saying that this guy didn't deserve anything thrown at him, but her acting all big and bad? Grow up and act like you actually deserve to wear that uniform.
@@riverjbleuor at least promptly avenged. She didn’t get the justice she needed from bystanders. I just try to take this as a lesson to stay armed, stay fit enough to fight, and stay careful with trust. It’s just a tragedy. I wish she could’ve defended herself or that someone actually came and aided her when she was being attacked.
Heard whimpering outside in the middle of the night and someone was being attacked out in the street. Yelled out "WTF is going on." and 2 guys took off down the road. A man called out for help. He was on his way home and was jumped and the 2 guys that ran away were trying to SA him. Called emergency services and Police and an ambulance came. I heard whimpering and yelled out 6 words and that was enough to get them to stop. How that neighbour heard screams for a prolonged period of time...and did nothing, will forever baffle and disturb me.
it happened to me once in my apartment complex years ago i heard her all the time being loud screaming music but one night was different around 3am-ish heard 'ow ow ow stop no no no no' and i just couldnt leave her alone in that so i called 911. im only a 5ft tall lady myself and zero muscle all blubber back then otherwise i would have knocked on the door myself. turns out her pimp was beating her, they both went to jail. he was huge super buff guy probably 350lbs he was scary i saw him a few times in the building before. i feel bad she went to jail but maybe i saved her from worse?
@@BeautifulFanglollll you clearly don’t have experience with people that have been in jail.😂😳🤦🏻♀️ They don’t put people in programs, they don’t exist. They charge these women after being assaulted and make it even HARDER for them to get their lives back on track.
When I was in the 6th grade I could hear my neighbor screaming for help in the house next door. I’ll never forget the fear I had calling 911 as a 12 yr old. But that night I saved someone’s life. Her husband was beating her in front of his kids.
Women shouldn’t be police officers, too irrational, not physically capable, too much of a chip on their shoulder because they know they are already underachievers by virtue of them being women in a physical profession historically dominated by men (because they are better suited for the job) so they make up for that by over reacting and over exerting their power disproportionately. Women also naturally have a higher level of cortisol in the body because they are gifted the magic of the being the caretaker of the species and the choosing of genes that will be passed on which is an incredibly valuable thing. That, and them being naturally smaller and weaker on average, means they have a much higher level of the stress hormone cortisol which is BAD NEWS in high stress situations. We all love and adore women and femininity as men, we value them as partners and emotionally intelligent caretakers and home makers. They quite literally are integral to the human species. That said we can’t pretend we are the same, it used to be a man’s job, it should be a man’s job still, it’s safer that way for everyone involved. Men don’t have to be over protective of their female police partners, the female police officers won’t fuck things up and be physically, and emotionally incompetent on the job as they are disproportionately known to do, and the job of beat cop will get done a lot better. They can be officers that are detectives or behind the desk, but shouldn’t be in the field arresting reckless and dangerous individuals in high stress scenarios.
Speaking as someone who grew up in a trailer park: you get used to the fights. Every other night there's screaming from some other family on the block. You just count yourself lucky that it's not your home having the fight this time. Even if you do call you're more likely to get told to stop, and mind your own business. Depending on the area the police just do not care to follow through with domestic disturbances.
The investigators got way too emotionally involved they both were scolding David so hard telling him that they already know what happened thinking that would make him talk and meanwhile he just keeps repeating ''she's my wife she is still alive i love her and I'm going to protect her from these deep pockets'' and they just get more and more frustrated it was slightly amusing to watch tbh 😂
My sister came close to losing her life one night when she was beaten nearly to death by her ex boyfriend. She told me so many times she thought "someone is coming, someone must have heard me screaming they're comeing" but no one did. Because no one called the police. In the apartment there was broke furniture and blood everywhere which was shocking but what was really shocking was the broken sprinkler and rose bush pulled from the roots on the lawn. I asked her and she said at one point she made it outside and tried to run screaming for help but he caught her and dragged her inside so she grabbed whatever she could hold onto to stop him screaming at the top of her lungs. Then the complex issued an eviction notice because neighbors " heard the commotion and feared for their lives". But not enough to call the police and save my sister apparently. By the grace of God she survived and called me in the morning and we got her out of there and him arrested. But when I tell you walking through that felt like walking into a murder scene, I could see the splatter patterns on the walls and the blood on the objects he hit her with like something out of a movie, I'll never forget that feeling of almost losing my sister. And I will NEVER mind my own business again.
I lived with domestic violence for almost four years. The worst case of it, I was literally screaming "someone call the police, someone help me" (we lived in an apartment complex with thin walls). No one did. Please don't mind your own business, the neighbors next to you probably assumed you already called. I'm glad your sister is okay and that you were able to take a valuable lesson away from that terrible situation.
I called the police one night on my downstairs neighbors after I heard her say “go ahead and stab me”. She left with the police, but was back 45 minutes later. Some people - you just can’t save.
@@marthienel2190 I've read a lot of stupid comments on this site but yours definitely takes the cake. If you're ever in a situation where you need help, I hope you aren't surrounded by people like you.
I used to love in a Duplex, the neighbors used to scream at eachother at all hours of the night, one day im home alone and I hear them yelling at eachother, more intense than any of their arguments in the past, I hear the man yell "sometimes I just wanna kill you!!!" His wife says "not if I kill you first" I called the police immediately
This channel covers so many cases I've never heard of, thanks for posting all these stories. May Gretchen rest in peace and may her killer never walk free again
This dude really thought he was just gonna say "she's hiding because she is involved in a whistle blower case." And everyone would just drop it and let him go.

And the annoying insistence that she's still alive despite everything showing she clearly isn't.
You can thank the "karen" meme for this. Crime reporting has flat lined by white women to the point they will have the smoking gun but be too scared to say anything.
@@jimz1024 I reckon it depends if the photos were taken before or after she was killed. If after, I can understand. If before, that just seems super odd to me.
I like neighbors that mind their own business, but at the same time, if you hear blood curdling screams from a man, woman, or child, you best be on the phone with 911.
I'm that type of neighbor, but I'm also grabbing a defense weapon and investigating so I can relay the details to emergency as I learn them. You best believe all detail is being relayed.
@@roguespartan2854 i called non emergency and over talked like crazy cause it's not my style but L couple lived nxt door n I heard "CALL the Cops" like 3x but I Cldnt tell if it was to others Call the Cops or yelling at person fighting with "do it call the cops" "Go ahead call the cops" but I only heard call the cops decided I cld deal w being the person who Called n nothing going on VS I was the person who didn't call n something did happen.
Minding your own business is like… not commenting on the yard or how the kids behave like lunatics when they play outside. Not ignoring someone’s screams. That’s negligent.
When I was eight or nine years old we were driving home when my father made my mother pull over at the top of the hill to the cul-de-sac where we lived. There he started beating her and she was screaming for her life. I jumped out of the car and I ran to the nearest homes and banged on the doors screaming for help. A man came to his door in a dressing gown, looked at me, and slammed the door in my face. Nobody called the police, nobody came to help the child screaming for help. My mother sustained multiple injuries and bumps to her brain, and if my father hadn't left when he did, she would have died. This memory was so traumatising that it has stuck with me my entire life, and I am now in my early twenties.
My mom jumped out of the car and her chin was split open and my dad hopped out leaving all three of us in the back of this tiny car and she had rolled into the grassy easement of a gas station. People were pumping gas watching my dad snatch my mom by her hair and punching her and they just kept staring and we were crying and screaming for help. And they just kept pumping gas and turned away. Im so sad to see all of these other comments of moments like ours. They dont pop up often but sometimes it just plays like a video in my head.
people heard my aunt’s last screams before she died, but didn’t say a thing until the funeral. in a few days it’ll be the 10th anniversary of her departure, and they haven’t found the murderers yet. if you hear anything unusual, please call 911. you never know when someone truly needs it.
@@juliusfishman7222 A movie blasting that loudly at 6am? That wouldn't be my assumption as a bystander. Now if that happened at 6pm, a movie might be plausible. But not 6am, imo. And if it was a movie at 6am and I called the cops, I'd be glad to find out it was just someone who fell asleep with their TV on too loud than the alternative, but I wouldn't feel right assuming it was a movie that early.
The fact that the neighbor didn’t call police is absolutely unreal. *Edit* I absolutely understand the argument from the other side about her not calling and I think it’s an interesting conversation. With that said, this seemed to be much more noise and prolonged screams than a simple question of wether it was some kids or not. I think in any case, even if doubt creeps in, you always fall on the side of being cautious and calling it in. Embarrassment about calling in something that turned out to be business as usual is better than someone possibly dead or injured.
@@Dandientartadd onto it the added stigma recently of interacting with or calling police. Not saying it was a factor here but a lot of people don’t want to get cops involved unless they absolutely need to. It’s a shitty situation because sometimes the police do indeed worsen it so what can you do. I agree she should have called here though
David the compulsive liar should have realized that the jig was up because he said Gretchen was following him until El Paso, Texas but her car was in the hospital parking lot. Not to mention the CDC Center for treating Covid. Then he stated Gretchen was in his car. I would have mentioned DEATH PENALTY!!!
“Do not use Ava” says a man who murdered her mom “She had me do it” bruh! Who wants to be murdered?? “You do not have a video of me killing her” and the aggression. He kept on saying he was enacting his rights as husband and wife as if he owned her or something as a husband…
He doesn't regret it. He regrets being caught. Fuck him, 38 years is chump change for what he did. I hope Ava has good people giving her a good life and helping her past this.
@@paghal11 Oh, I wasn't aware he was... uh, math... 44 years old? Yeah, now that you reminded me of that it makes a huge difference. I guess I'm just so used to seeing videos of teens getting away with murder and a few short years xD
@@tgj42495She seems more interested in trying to brag about some level of dominance/control than in doing her job - I fully appreciate it’s important for officers to have control over the situation & make that clear to the suspect, but he’s already on the floor, cuffed and surrounded by male officers by the time she starts yapping And from the body cam footage, it looked an awful lot more like the guy just decided to walk back from the car and not like the action hero she made herself out to be, single handedly dragging him to the ground with her almighty power 😂
The more I watch these, the less I can stand the lies from the perpetrators. Sometimes I even hit fast forward - which makes me feel even greater respect for the detectives who keep their cool and play along during interrogations.
@@Deletirium He kept saying, "So you say," over and over again. What a wormlike coward. I'm sorry she let that creep into her and her daughter's life, thinking she could save him from his mental illness.
These detectives are definitely patient. But Alex (on PP Southeast Texas) interviewing child predators and getting them to incriminate themselves. His patience and skills are unmatched.
As a neighbour I will absolutely NOT “mind my own business” I’ve run towards a burning yard with an extinguisher, checked on banging walls etc for my neighbours. I’ll do it again in a heartbeat. When I lost my own house to a fire the nice ppl down the lane answered their door for us at 3am and helped us through it
a fire is a little different from a person using weapons to k1ll people. if you dont have weapons to protect yourself your just going to rush into the scene and possibly become another victim
I once heard an upstairs neighbor screaming…she never said help but her screams did…I called the police…her bf was literally beating her…everybody around us heard her screaming but I was the only one who called & even though she never left him, I always called the police for her until I moved away. She looked so sad that day she seen the uhaul & I pray she’s OK now. Moral of the story: SPEAK UP & STOP MINDING YOUR BUSINESS TO THE WRONG THINGS.
You are very grateful for someone sticking up for you when you aren't yet able to stick up for yourself. However, it's very possible you leaving helped her learn to advocate for herself.
Me and my bf had a pretty heated argument, we didn't even touch each other or threaten anything, but later we got a visit from 2 VERY large and strong looking officers. We resolved it quickly and they were on their way out. Me and my bf are in a healthy relationship just had a fight that was a little too loud. Looking back I'm really glad my neighbors called to check on us even if nothing was wrong. Wish these victims had the same kind neighbors I had to even think of calling. Bless that beautiful woman, I wish her peace after this. edit: I swear one of them was 7ft he was HUGE and built like a Greek god
As someone who recently divorced someone eerily similar to this guy, the way his mother acted did not shock me at all. “He wouldn’t hurt a fly…” and the whole idea of sympathizing with the wife but not stopping him from ruining her life and being upfront about his mental state, and not getting him clinical help amazes me. There are warning signs, and I’m glad Gretchen saw and started the process of divorce, just like I did. I’m sad that she met the fate she did and her daughter had to go through that.
Life has conditioned me to look EXTRA hard at people when someone says 'they wouldn't hurt a fly'. In my experience every person described that way has been extremely dangerous in some way
This guy is insane. A terrible father. How the hell can he flat out deny everything when there is evidence already against him? I just don't get it. His behavior is disgusting. What really saddens me was when he said it wasn't his daughter on the video. I got so pissed at him.
I once heard screaming and called the police. They found a woman being battered by her husband. The cops came up to my apartment after the incident, thanked me for calling because no one else had, and gave me a card with the cop's information so that I could call him directly if I ever needed anything. This was in Ohio. Being a Psychology lecturer at the time, I was teaching students about the bystander effect (regardless of the issues with the original research, it seemed to play out in this scenario), so I suspected that no one else would call and was proved right.
Exactly. They should not be able to come to your house. Like they have your number. Call you. Don't let the woman abuser or thief whatever it may be, be obvious YOU called. I'm sick of that. Sick of it. Come on.
I was in DV relationship made to move from NC to Ohio being abused daily even while going through breast cancer. One night I heard screaming outside I threw on some pants ran outside a lady was in her yard screaming crying. We saw police coming. She thanked me because I was the only one to come outside to help. I ran to neighbors when my abuser hit me and took my phone and left. I asked them just to call 911. They refused saying they weren't getting involved. I was so scared and shocked they wouldn't call I was completely helpless and terrified.
@@La.Summer People know the police can't protect them and if called to court as a witness the defense attorney will attack you to remove your credibility to jurors. Your past and anything personal will be made public.
I woke up one morning & saw a nude woman out in front of my condo door. I ran out & tried to untie her. It was not until I went out that anyone else came. They had seen, but made no move to help her until I went out. The first thing she said after I got her head & mouth free was, "my baby, my baby.". I ran to her condo & got her baby, not even thinking that the rapist might still be in there & all I had on was a thin summer nightgown. Only looking back did I realize it was a dangerous situation. When I got back with the baby, my neighbors had her in their home & covered with a sheet. These situations are confusing at the time they are happening. To me it all happened in slow motion. But my neighbors said I was moving faster than they thought anyone could. Adrenaline I guess.
Sorry to hear that your cries for help went ignored.. There are those that think that getting involved can put them in danger too - that's what I eventually found out after MANY occasions of experiencing DV.. Some people are natural born hero's and the rest just can't be bothered 😢 Sorry you had to go through that, yet glad you didn't even hesitate to help that poor woman and her baby.. Stay strong ❤
My upstairs neighbors were arguing and then I heard glass break and then quiet. I called the police for a welfare check. Everyone was fine and no injuries. The wife did throw a glass in frustration at a wall but that ended the situation and both just went to separate rooms. They weren’t mad I called and apologized. I explained that the silence made me think someone got hurt and they said we knew we were getting stupid so we calmed down. My point is you never know so it’s better to be safe than sorry.
Huh, that's funny they had the maturity to know going into separate rooms was the adult thing to do at that point in the argument. But only after a glassware cup was thrown at the wall. Lmao Not being rude or anything, I just found that funny is all.
@@Cheepchipsable... how?? bruh cops can just show up if neibors call about anything and the woman admitted to police that she threw the glass. you sound very sad I hope you get over it
About a year ago I could hear screaming and a woman being slapped HARD like i was easily 100ft away and could hear the slaps and the screams. I did not hesitate to call the police. When I saw her running I told her she could wait in my apartment while she waited for the police. She broke down in tears and asked if she could hug me. I gave her a very long hug and helped her clean the blood off her face. It shocked me no neighbors were outside or concerned about what was happening. I hope the neighbor lives with guilt for the rest of her life. It doesn’t matter if she didn’t hear the words “help me”. To be like “eh she’s probably fine” after hearing minutes of blood curdling screaming is pure fucking evil
Omg!! That is awful!! Maybe other neighbors called too, but chose to wait in their apts. Some ppl say "mind your own business", but I think a community is your business.
"You're trying to fit a square hole into a round peg." You know who the genius was that said that quote? None other than David in this video 😮 That poor girl 😢
Btw who's the one female neighbor you're specifying in your post? What did she do exactly? Out of all your neighbors, you're just mentioning her.. so what did she do? ..or what did she not do?
It's the kind of world we're living in now--divorced from reality, and tuned into social media; some people see and hear reality but it fails to strike a cord in them.
I heard screaming from a neighbour - yelled out ‘I’ve called the police’ everything went quiet - when the police arrived she denied he’d hit her - I saw her in town next day with two black eyes(no shame) - she married him a month later
Please don't just jump in, there's no need for a second victim. Only go in if you can 100% verify that there is no danger to you, but always call the police. Same goes for accidents, protect yourself before trying to help. A colleague of my dad once lost a friend because he wanted to help after a car crash, the person involved in the accident survived with minor injuries.
I agree although if it's a common occurrence then you would be less likely. I lived with a. Neighbor that would have loud parties and people yelling and screaming until 4 in the morning....if I would have heard noise from their house I would have ignored it.
The manner in which he speaks is equal to how I formulate and write my written assignments when I am taking a shot at adding 200 more words. That was my attempt :p
I heard a male neighbor screaming and cussing at his gf/wife, followed by banging, through their apartment door. I called the cops. They came, but because no one would answer the door, they left. Haven't heard any banging or screaming since, but the rest of my neighbors are on high alert. Ain't no one dying on us!
Neighbor: Let me take pictures of this black truck that I think is suspicious. Same Neighbor: I heard a lady being murdered but she didn’t say help so I didn’t call the cops.

After Satan corrupted people, their former sanity, former conscience, and character were dulled too much and destroyed by Satan. Man lost his sense, his disposition became like that of a wild animal and his rebellion against God became more frequent and more intense. What things are contained in Satan's nature? For example, Why do you become selfish?" Why are you so happy to accept those unreasonable things? Why do you love those evils so much? What is the root of your love for these things? Where do they come from? What Satan's poison is can best be expressed with words. For example, if you ask the wrongdoer: 'Why do you do that? They will answer: 'Every man for himself and the devil took the last.' This one phrase reveals the root of the problem: Satan's logic has become people's lives, even what they do for themselves. This poison becomes the life and foundation of man, it exists in his body; humanity that was made evil continued to be dominated by it for thousands of years. And what Satan does is for himself. He wants to surpass God, be free and have God's power, and possess all of His creations, then, man's nature is Satan's nature.) Almighty God said "The KEY of man's OPPOSITION AGAINST GOD is his EVIL CAUSED by SATAN. Because SATAN has CORRUPTED him, man's CONSCIENCE is NUMBLE, he is IMMORAL, his ATTITUDES are BAD, and he has a BACKWARD thinking. Before Satan brought him down, he obeyed God and obeyed His words. He is NATURALLY SANE and has a CLEAR CONSCIENCE, and his PERSONALITY is NORMAL. 🛑 After SATAN CORRUPTED people, his former SENSE, former CONSCIENCE, and HUMANITY were too DULL and DESTROYED by SATAN. 😪 So, he LOST his OBEDIENCE and LOVE for GOD. MAN LOST his SENSE, his DISPOSITION became LIKE a WILD ANIMAL and his REBELLION against God became MORE FREQUENT and SEVERE. 😪 But people still don't know or even recognize it, and just fight and rebel blindly." "At the TIME, when the WORD of GOD has NOT been ALIVE to MAN, SATAN'S NATURE HOLDS and DOMINATES people. What--what THINGS are INSIDE SATAN'S NATURE? For example, WHY are you being SELFISH?" WHY do you need to PROTECT your STATUS in LIFE? WHY do you get so EMOTIONAL? WHY are you SO HAPPY to ACCEPT those illogical things? WHY do you love those EVIL things? WHAT is the ROOT of your LOVE for these THINGS? WHERE do they COME FROM? By now you all understand that this is because of the content of SATAN'S POISON. 😪☀️ WHAT SATAN'S POISON is CAN be EXPRESSED with WORDS. For example, if you ASK the DOER: 'WHY are you DOING that?' They will answer: 'Every MAN for HIMSELF and the DEVIL TOOK the LAST.' This one phrase reveals the ROOT of the PROBLEM: SATAN'S LOGIC has become the LIFE of PEOPLE, no matter what they DO just for THEMSELVES. 😪😪 Everyone THINKS that 'Every man thinks only of himself and not of the welfare of others,' is the life and the philosophy of man, and it also represents the nature of man. 😪 'EVERY MAN for HIMSELF and the DEMON TOOK THE LAST.' This STATEMENT by SATAN is DEFINITELY POISON and when a MAN receives it, his entire personality is definitely affected. SATAN'S NATURE is EXPOSED in this REVELATION; this is his whole PERSON. This POISON becomes the LIFE and FOUNDATION of MAN, it EXISTS in his BODY; humanity MADE EVIL has CONTINUOUSLY been dominated by it for THOUSANDS--THOUSANDS of YEARS. 😪 And EVERYTHING SATAN DOES is for HIMSELF. He wants to OVERCOME GOD, be FREE and HAVE GOD'S POWER, and HAVE ALL of His CREATIONS, therefore, MAN'S NATURE is SATAN'S NATURE." 😪🙏 From "The Word Appears in the Flesh" Fulfillment of (John 1:1) and (Ezekiel 2:9-10), (Revelation 19:9,13) 📥Calling and leading everyone to His lowered Kingdom or Church because it is still standing on earth in the holy place in the air/ youtube "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD 💐 this is the fulfillment of what He said to Peter 2,000 years ago, recorded in (Matthew 16:18'19). This is the the only Church of each one of our spirit that we must listen to or eat and drink like how we eat, dress and sleep every day so that He can guide us and change us by rejecting the evil attached by Satan so as to be perfect, having attained eternal life that will enter the coming replacement of the New Heaven and New Earth. 📩 Note📩 Almighty God said, Life in the Kingdom is the life of people and God Himself. Humanity depends on My care and precaution, and all are engaged in fighting the great red dragon to the death. In order to win this last battle, and to end the great red dragon, all people must offer Me their entire being, for My Kingdom. When I say "KINGDOM", I mean it is the life lived under the protection of divinity, where all humanity I constantly guide, I teach directly, so that the life of all humanity, although in world is as if it were in heaven, the true spirit of life in the third heaven . 🙏
@@jordansme1234567 big lack of logic here, how would you like every neighbour to be an accomplice of a murder because they might have heard someone yelling? And if someone is attacked in public should every single person there call the police at the same time as to not become accomplices?
@@alfredorock-flores8480and you know what else? it’s a public comment section where people don’t need your permission so sit your self-centered ass down
He's not dumb; he's a murderer. She's dumb because she heard the screams and pleadings of a woman in danger but didn't contact 9/11 but somehow managed to feel the situation was dangerous or peculiar enough to warrant taking a picture of David's truck and license plate. So yeah, she is dumb. A complete dumbass who should have to look Ava in the face every day and explain why she didn't try to save Gretchen.
I live in a huge apartment complex. A few months ago, at around 3:45 a.m., I heard someone yelling several times, "Help me." At first, I thought my husband had his computer too loud but realized he had the volume turned down. I realized it was a neighbor who lived 1/8 of a block away from our apartment building in the same complex. She was yelling for help for about 5 minutes before I ran over to help her. Not one of the many neighbors who could hear her in the middle of the night called for help. That is messed up. Thank goodness she ended up being okay.
Sadly as a woman we do have to be cautious of situations because they will use things like this to kidnap and traffic women when they go to help. Best to call the cops and let them handle it
@@erinr6026 Hi! Some info on trafficking that might help- You're right in that someone could be messing around or setting a trap but just FYI, trafficking almost never works like that. It's a rumor that's been passed around so much people think it's real and not blaming you one bit for that but just giving you the info for your safety. Please feel free to do your own research, it's a well studied topic. But I worked with law enforcement who worked in s*x trafficking. It's usually a loved one or trusted associate that tricks you into thinking you have an escape or opportunity and end up being trapped with abuse and drugs, sometimes confinement but the mind is enough of a cage when done right. They target people who are already on the end of their thread. People who are desperate and vulnerable. Teens or young adults whose families/spouses are neglectful or abusive, they may be homeless or sometimes addicts or even just girls or young men looking for love and support and finding a "Boyfriend" online or at a bar but coming from such a toxic environment that they don't know how to identify the red flags in the person's behavior... things like that. It's the people you know who pose the greatest risk to you statistically, whether you're talking assault, grape, murder or trafficking, strangers are the minority of offenders. Not to say distrust everyone in your life and keep them at a distance, but do keep yourself safely positioned, so many of the traditional thoughts on relationships can trap you in abuse if you don't learn to see the signs. Highly recommend studying the basics of psychological dysfunction, like personality disorders, cycles of abuse, attachment types, etc, etc.. Life changing information that helps you so much in so many ways.

If they target random adults in populated areas, they are just bringing the cops and media down on them. It's a huge risk and there's no need. There's plenty of young people from poor and dysfunctional households who are perfect targets, easy to trick into volunteering, family can't/ won't do much, cops will treat it like a runaway, plus drugs are usually already part of the equation. There's simply no need for them to take the risk. Like serial killers, most often, they go for the easy targets and know where to find them. It's tragic. I remember a couple years back people were getting so worked up online because in some city, someone thought it would be kind and uplifting to leave a single rose on their parked car in a grocery parking lot and everyone thought it was traffickers... it's not. That's just not how it works. Sorry if multiples, it wouldn't post. Hope you and yours stay safe and well, always.
it's no one else business that's why, single women have to deal with this cold world just like single men do, this is why men and women are better together... choosing your mate is the highest decision!
I knew that husband was the shadiest man alive as soon as the detective went "What were your marital issues?" and he gives the old "She didn't cook enough, heheh, women, am I right?" Also that utterly baffling followup comment of her "Dating 10s when she's a 5." Like nice way to diss her, and what a great way to reduce her down to nothing but a number, not a person any more.
Right like he’s claiming she’s cheating but it’s the fact that she’s supposedly dating dudes that are too hot for her that he doesn’t like, not that she’s cheating??
@@absolfan1184 I DON’T think he is not guilty due to insanity, but…a severe head injury is no joke, and sadly, there aren’t great treatments for it. People can change utterly, and he clearly seems off, telling a story even a 12-year-old would call out as sounding like a bad movie. Would he have done that without the head injury? We will never know.
This case is truly haunting. It's so sad that Gretchen tried to call 911 through Alexa but it didn't go through because it wasn't hooked up. :( RIP Gretchen.
From that recording I think she was just screaming “Ahhh” and Alexa recorded that moment thinking she was saying Alexa because she doesn’t say any numbers. Unless there’s another video but it said that was the Alexa recording.
She yelled Alexa call 911 but it didn't catch it which is why Alexa is much more sensitive now when you're talking and it just starts talking back to you and you never said her name it's because of this case. It misheard the call part.. and yes whenever you say Alexa it starts recording FYI
His family failed him and Gretchen. After his TMI he should have been hospitalized in a psych ward. Obviously that fucked him up even more than he already was. Just a sad situation all around
@@djLagwayEnjoyerLongterm psych hospitals pretty much don’t exist anymore in the US….Regan closed them. The few inpatient psych units that remain have very short stays, for good and bad. At the one I worked in, the average stay after a serious suicide attempt was 1 or 2 days, though this is based on the inpatient care generally does not lead to better outcomes). The psych units that do exist are often financially insolvent, and kept open by hospitals as a community service. Everyone wants better mental health care…but no one wants to pay for it. Our small unit had 3 nurses who did nothing but fight with insurance companies for payment. Just go to any inner city and you can clearly find many people with far more debilitating neuropsych issues, left to the streets. It varies a bit by state, but it generally EXTREMELY hard to have someone legally committed, and until courts get involved due to a crime, it’s typically only for very short-term, crisis care. It’s not like in the movies.
When I was a kid, me and my mom heard our (female) neighbor scream hysterically in the stair well of our apartment building. My mom run out of our apartment and saw another (male) neighbor attack the woman, he had her cornered and was stabbing her with a kitchen knife in the chest. So my mom run up to him and tried to pull his arm holding the knife away, but due to weight difference she just ended up kind of hanging from his arm. It gave the woman a few seconds to run away and quite possibly saved her life. But some people will hear someone screaming for help and they won't even call the police.
@@FritznalI think he was trying to say if you call out fire, people are more likely to come out to investigate out of concern for themselves. When you cry for help many people choose not to get involved because many domestic cases women stay in the relationship even though they’re being battered.
@@AsYouLikeIt_Zendi21 In this particular case the woman and the man were not in an intimate relationship. They were neighbors from different apartments and got into a lot of fights for a lot of petty reasons. The guy apparently had some mental health/anger management issues (and was an insufferable neighbor because of it). Karma got him though: he had his leg amputated in prison after a fight with other inmates. After his release he got married to a woman, who ended up murdering him in a domestic...a wild story altogether. On the other note, if I got viciously attacked suddenly and without warning, I don't know whether I would have enough mental presence to think about screaming "fire". People unused to violence react on instinct, not rational thought.
@@NewjerseyblowsYep always and convey as much information as possible, it's easier for you to give all the information available to you than it is for somebody being attacked, so the person being attacked gets to call quickly and fill in some gaps giving much more information to responding officers, instead of just the little bit from each individual.
Our long time next door neighbor saw my grandfathers 3 teacup poodles left out in the snow for 3 days. He never thought to call for a welfare check,he was laying incapacitated on the bathroom floor. If you see something SAY something.
When I was a young kid, I saw my neighbor laying in their yard not moving. I was only eleven or twelve, so I was afraid to go out there and check on him. So I called 911. The cops arrived for a wellness check and he got out and laughed, I think he was just stretching or relaxing. For a long time I've felt bad about it and cringed at myself for not checking on him first, but now I'm glad that I at least did something just in case.
The fact that the neighbor heard a woman scream and was suspicious enough to take photos of the truck but didn't call the police...so frustrating. I'm sure she regrets it now.
I’m not shocked the neighbors didn’t help. I live in Oklahoma and everyone here says the “love their guns bc they can protect people with them and take out the bad guys”. And while what happened to me last week wasn’t a bad guy it was two huge dogs that tried to attack me and my cat. I screamed help me as many times and as loud as I could. NO ONE CAME.
@@chrismadrid7849 no but I have thought about how lucky those dogs were that I didn’t have one bc they would be dead, instead of back in their yard a block away. Im far from a gun person but I’ve always thought about owning one despite them making me uncomfortable, especially if it protects me and my loved ones (a cat 😂) I was just shocked no one came to help me I was always taught to scream for help.
That word is very often overused, but I think it applies here pretty well. He tried with the cops the same sort of tactics they use with other people. "You have a history of lying, so..." while lying through his teeth. "So you say". "Blood may not be hers, have you ever thought about that?" Unbelievable. He sounds like my mother.
well this is a damaged brain scrambled him, people really fail to grasp how damaging brain injuries are / can be, they will fundamentally alter the core of who you are
@Outworlder yes it is overused.. but I know the difference between narcissistic and malignant narcissist. I'm no professional narc detective, but he is definitely Malignant.
@@jesusisgod4992 not sure if you are responding to my malignant Narcissist comment? But in case you are.. I agree with you , but the killer does exhibit signs of a high degree of Narcissism
Neighbors are too scared to be mistaken and get somebody in trouble. My mother used to physically beat me. My brothers told me they once heard me screaming while being beaten. They were playing with the kids next door. No one ever called the cops. My mother would even take me to church black and blue. I got lucky enough to make her mad enough to kick me out. It's sad how many other victims don't make it because people are afraid to be wrong. Recently, my sister and I were talking, and I mentioned our brothers saying they heard me screaming. She said it reinforced her resolve to call the cops, even if she thinks she could be wrong, when there are screams that don't sound like playing (interspersed with giggling).
Maybe you just had a really loud scream while being punished If i know your mom is a god fearing woman why would i assume she is going to kill you Maybe you aren't a good child and you misbehave in your own self righteousness and individuality And if everyone in the neighborhood knows that as a common occurrence where you end up still being alive why call? If it was the screams of your mother I'm sure they would have called, but if you screamed all the time and you got punished all the time it's just par for the course Don't take it so personally, you're not that important and internalizing that will make your life allot more pleasant
@@PaendaTube WOW. You have some messed up logic. "God fearing," or pretending to be, is no guarantee and is sometimes a cover. Just because someone ends up alive the next day... Are you serious? The day they don't end up alive do you reconsider your choices? It's too late then. Someone screaming from being beat, if it even lasts just minutes, is not discipline. Hearing screaming while playing with your kids (which implies the passage if time) is excessive. You should be checked out (in person) by a psychiatrist because you may be unaware that you are a narcissist.
At his sentencing hearing, David Anthony claimed that the COVID-19 pandemic was a contributing factor to his crime, as he viewed it as an Armageddon that he had to escape to Costa Rica, and Gretchen refused to go. According to family members, David had suffered from bipolar disorder for a number of years. Per the conditions of his plea agreement, David Anthony was sentenced to 38 years in prison on January 14, 2021. He will be released in the year 2059. He will be 87 years old.
While in college I was walking my dog down a bike path one night and saw a girl walking quickly, arms crossed, head down. A guy was aggressively catching up to her. I asked if she was okay or needed help. She smiled and said no but thank you. As a girl myself it felt wrong to just walk away. I decided to hang around and watch. Sure enough I saw her run from him and heard arguing. They ran into a field and when he threw her down on the ground I called 911. I found out they were in a relationship. She wasn't upset about the cops being called and thanked me again. All I'm saying is Better safe than sorry!
I’m glad you listened to your intuition. Most women have zero sense of self preservation, and it is annoying to be lied to when that can be the difference between life and death.
I agree mostly, if you ignore the fact that 30% of all videos are blurred (seriously how the FUUUUUCK do you blur a static image of a bloody rag? are these videos for kindygardners?) and the multiple watermarks
I realize how much your upbringing impacts your ability to get involved in situations with strangers and neighbors. My mother was the type of mom who was looking out for everyone. If she heard a scream, she called the police. If she saw a kid alone, she was helping them find their mother. My mom treated everyone’s business like it was her business. Now me and my sister are exactly like her too. The people who I know who are not like this grew up with parents who told them to mind their business or to ignore situations like this. It’s sad how many people do this.
Absolutely the truth. We were raised to stay out of people business no matter what was going on. I can’t tell you how much I had to train myself to ‘do something’ in situations like these. Definitely wish my parents would have made it more of a priority. As an adult I see affect me. The inability to see/feel if a situation has gone too far to the point it needs to end.
When in doubt…CALL! You’ve got to follow those gut instincts! This is mind blowing! She was concerned enough to take photos of the truck, but not to call when there was screaming?! So so tragic
I heard a woman screaming one night when I was in my garage. I'd actually been sharpening some tools so grabbed my phone and my knife. Some guy was dragging this woman across her lawn and, unknown to me at the time, had already killed their pet. I yelled out, he looked up and realized it wasn't just me... But 2 other neighbors who had come to investigate. 2 of us armed and 1 already on the phone with police. I'll never understand how people can hear something like that and just ignore it.
Shout out to my fellow neighbors who backed me up ✊️ you guys some real ones
Edit: Wow 😳 this comment blew up. Thank you for the kind words y'all. I've been reading through the comments and the stories you guys have to share and im so sorry some of you had to go through similar abuse 😔 people can really suck sometimes. We gotta keep looking out for one another. Stay safe everyone 🙏 ❤️

Did he get arrested?
Very neighborly 👌
god bless you❤
@MistahJ100 Oh yeah, he got arrested. His friend/brother/whatever whipped around in a car, he jumped in, and they dipped before the cops showed up. But we had the make/model and the plate # so they didn't get far.
I had a serious fall inside my house when i was by myself. I had injuries to my pelvis and legs and was in immense pain.
I yelled out help once then passed out
I know all this because i have camera's.
Within 2 minutes 3 of my neighbours were trying to get in and police and ambulance was called.
One neighbour jumped my 6 foot high fence and crawled through the doggy door and was by my side in 5 minutes time.
Amazing people. It happened to be the first time we all met properly. Now we are all great friends.
So thankful you have good neighbors.
This is a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing it and I’m so glad you’re doing better!
Wow! Can I move next door? Once I was walking my dog and realized 2 coyotes had split up an were coming from 2 directions. I screamed GET THE F@@K OUTTA HERE OVER AND OVER, saw an lit up enclosed porch and crossed the street to go to their door. When I looked back I couldn't see them but now I didn't know where they were 🥺 I live in a cop and firefighter neighborhood and not one person came out! Another time I kicked an uneven sidewalk, took a running fall and broke my thumb in 2 places, hit my forehead, lip and knees. (but I never let go of my phone or my dogs leash) 😳😕 Blood was flowing like crazy and I could have called 911 but I wanted to get Wiggy home. I left a trail of blood and made it home but once again no one heard or saw me or came out. Being alone sucks 🤷🏻♀️
Thank God for good neighbors! But wow what an ice breaker 😂
I rolled my foot and both knees, tore ligament in my foot and months later if I stay in one position too long I look like a 90 year old trying to walk. I yelled once and three neighbors broke out my window to help me.

@@josephwickham1989 What the Actual Fuck, is how I read it
Two times I called cops for a woman screaming from the direction of a house nearby, one time saying something like " no, please". Nothing came of either. Cops just didn't seem to know what to think of it or care. I won't call again unless I know it's really serious, because they just assume you're nuts or a problem caller yourself if it's not still happening. As if murders or abuse or whatever always takes longer than ten minutes. That might be why people don't call. Nobody actually treats it like "better safe than sorry".
Caught in 4K and he still goes ''so you say'' what a psychopath
Addict. The meth makes mental illness worse. A lot of people are diagnosed with bipolar disorder when it's really meth rage. Meth users are less likely to overdose than die of violence perpetrated on each other.
@@funnyanimalshorts643 he got a truck on is head after he was already dignosed with bipolar disorder. I think his problems are not the one of an addict.
Nah more like delusional
I wouldn't call it that. Looking at it as if I was sitting there, the cops were trying to get him to confess. They didn't have concrete evidence she was dead or he killed her. So David didn't admit anything and didn't incriminate himself by agreeing to anything they said. It kinda reminds me of the move Law Abiding Citizen. Don't get me wrong, the dudes a piece of sh*t. But he was smart to not admit to anything or fall for what they were saying. Even though the cops were right, what was presented in the interrogation room didn't prove anything.
😅😅😅😅
I called the police when i heard what sounded like a woman being murdered and someone laughing in between screams in the park behind my apartment complex. That park has a steep drop off that views the city and is a popular place for car dates. The police came and investigated and it turns out it was just some teens practicing their "horror movie screams" for tik tok. I have no regrets. The girls were fine. At the end of the day, if it feels wrong, just call.
Is this I’m California?
It is the most unnerving thing to hear someone crying for help. Happened to me late one night when I was lying in bed reading. I could hear noises from the large vacant allotment next door and I thought people might be having a party. Then the words penetrated. I just heard, "Help me, help me," a couple of times. I phoned the police and they did come around, walked all around the allotment and streets, but didn't see anything. Still worries me, but I don't have any regrets either.
@@arolf2524you have to be careful too because some sickos lure others out of their house with “cries”.
Yall be careful out there. Crazies can turn on good Samaritans too.
Called the police once in the middle of the night because I heard some guy screaming ‘help’ like he was in pain, several times (this was a very occupied apartment building btw so I KNOW the neighbors heard). I looked out the window and It was coming from a nearby field, so it felt off. After calling 911, I went to investigate with my ex and turns out it was just some drunk guy having a hard time getting up after presumably falling 😅 Still worth it.
I mind my business.
Who the hell hears "Stop it hurts" and not call the police...HELP is not the only word that applies.
I don’t know we should be asking David the same thing. Or why he would hurt her in the first place.
It’s pretty pathetic

All of these comments about neighbors coming to the rescue of screaming people reminds me of the time I got trapped in my backyard shed one Texas summer and screamed for help for 2 hours. Fearing I would die from the heat, I eventually managed to break a small window and climb out, seriously injuring myself in the process. Later when retelling the story to multiple neighbors, they all said they heard me and they had all been texting each other "do you hear that? Is someone outside yelling for help?", but not one of them came out of their house to investigate.
Unfrickin' believable. So sorry.
I hope you told them that if any of them ever needed help in the future, you'd return in kind
Idiots
😮😮😮 This is shocking! I'm glad you okay 😢❤
Wow. That is not good.
I've been on the opposite end of this. I WAS the one screaming for help. Thank God for my neighbor. He heard my screaming and he heard the gun shot (I wasn't hit)and he broke my front door down to help me. If you hear/see something...say/do something! You could be saving a life! Thanks to all the heros!
🙏🏽💪🏽🙏🏽
if you dont mind my asking, what happened?
I used to work at this really nasty hotel in Las Vegas across the street from the Mandalay Bay on the strip.
One of the guests calls me and tells me to call 911 because a woman in the next room was getting brutally attacked.
I called the police and they came and I told them which room.
The police knock on the door, the door opens and the police just burst out laughing.
I asked them what was going on and they said “just really loud sex”.
@@shaft5 wow, good on you for calling but that’s hilarious
You females are on your own👍👍👍💯💯💯Help yall and maybe get sued?, i dont think so🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I called the cops just yesterday because I heard screaming across the lake, (I don’t know the neighbors ) Turns out, she accidentally left the car in Neutral and it rolled back on her while she was removing the garbage bin out the driveway. Her husband came to thank me, I’m the only person that made a phone call. The woman was screaming bloody murder and just 1 person called? The world is messed up.
Worlds a messed up place right now
I stg! People think we live in a simulation or something 🙄 glad you called!
Yeah, lots of people seem to think that since they're not involved, they're not getting involved. Same effect as when someone collapses on the sidewalk, and everyone keeps walking.
I feel paranoid sometimes thinking something very bad will happen soon.

What a POS. I'd have absolutely no patience questioning him.
Absolutely. There is a reason in not an interrogator.
lol seriously this "i'm protecting her, anyone can be bought" and "you're trying to create a narrative" after they ask about him being at her house that morning I would be doing some serious scoffing and eye rolling like come the fuck on david.
Neighbors would call police in a heartbeat over loud music or barking dog, but if you are asking for help, you are SOL
an extension of the bystanders effect/rule etc.

I heard a officer once recommend if you are being attacked to yell "FIRE" instead of "HELP" because people are more likely to come running to investigate and/or help. Which is really, really sad.

People are 1000x stupider than that

Idk if I hear someone scream help im immediately investigated.. unfortunately many people assume someone else will help or call cops and not do it themselves.
When I was 15 my neighbor was screaming and her kids were yelling at the man (stepdad) “leave her alone!” I was scared to death. It was just me and my 55 year old mom in the apartment. We didn’t have a phone so my mom walks out and starts going towards the pay phone. I walk with her pleading with her not to get involved. Nothing I said stopped her. She called the police, they came and took care of business. The next day the lady brought my mom some homemade cookies or some kind of dessert. I’m so proud of my mom. She’s my hero. She’s past away 12 years ago but thinking about this makes me tear up till this day. I was a coward but she set a great example for me. I know better now

Telling the cops you’re not going to give them information so you can “protect” the woman that you killed is wild

Note to self: remember to scream "help" if I'm being murdered.
Lmao right!
It's better than saying, "stop it that hurts" which can be interpreted as rough sex
If i needed help i would scream help me! It makes it clear you actually need help.
No yell that you're being murdered and to call the police. Help is a four letter word that a lot of people don't take seriously.
@@SarahNGeti you might want to consider that
1. She felt that she could still try negotiate with him and de-escalate the situation.
2. She didn't think she was within earshot of anyone who could help
3. She likely feared if she called for help, he might panic and rush to silence her.
What's a lot better than just assuming your neighbour might just be having rough sex is to call police to make sure nothing more sinister is at play.
"AAAAH STOP MURDERING ME RIGHT NOW YOURE LITTERALLY STABBING ME IN THE FACE WITH A KNIFE"

It’s just a tragedy. I wish she could’ve defended herself or that someone actually came and aided her when she was being attacked.
I was in my vacation house in Pennsylvania and I heard a Huge fight and called the cops. Better safe than sorry!!
Heard whimpering outside in the middle of the night and someone was being attacked out in the street. Yelled out "WTF is going on." and 2 guys took off down the road. A man called out for help. He was on his way home and was jumped and the 2 guys that ran away were trying to SA him. Called emergency services and Police and an ambulance came. I heard whimpering and yelled out 6 words and that was enough to get them to stop. How that neighbour heard screams for a prolonged period of time...and did nothing, will forever baffle and disturb me.
Good on you for saying SOMTHING!
Most ppl would be scared to even say a peep. Respect.
it happened to me once in my apartment complex years ago
i heard her all the time being loud screaming music but one night was different around 3am-ish heard 'ow ow ow stop no no no no' and i just couldnt leave her alone in that so i called 911.
im only a 5ft tall lady myself and zero muscle all blubber back then otherwise i would have knocked on the door myself. turns out her pimp was beating her, they both went to jail. he was huge super buff guy probably 350lbs he was scary i saw him a few times in the building before. i feel bad she went to jail but maybe i saved her from worse?

Women shouldn’t be police officers, too irrational, not physically capable, too much of a chip on their shoulder because they know they are already underachievers by virtue of them being women in a physical profession historically dominated by men (because they are better suited for the job) so they make up for that by over reacting and over exerting their power disproportionately. Women also naturally have a higher level of cortisol in the body because they are gifted the magic of the being the caretaker of the species and the choosing of genes that will be passed on which is an incredibly valuable thing. That, and them being naturally smaller and weaker on average, means they have a much higher level of the stress hormone cortisol which is BAD NEWS in high stress situations. We all love and adore women and femininity as men, we value them as partners and emotionally intelligent caretakers and home makers. They quite literally are integral to the human species. That said we can’t pretend we are the same, it used to be a man’s job, it should be a man’s job still, it’s safer that way for everyone involved. Men don’t have to be over protective of their female police partners, the female police officers won’t fuck things up and be physically, and emotionally incompetent on the job as they are disproportionately known to do, and the job of beat cop will get done a lot better. They can be officers that are detectives or behind the desk, but shouldn’t be in the field arresting reckless and dangerous individuals in high stress scenarios.
I will never understand neighbours who hear things like this and don't call the police? What goes through these people's minds?
Probably tumbleweed
myb
they assume someone else will call and they don’t want to involve themselves.
Speaking as someone who grew up in a trailer park: you get used to the fights. Every other night there's screaming from some other family on the block. You just count yourself lucky that it's not your home having the fight this time. Even if you do call you're more likely to get told to stop, and mind your own business. Depending on the area the police just do not care to follow through with domestic disturbances.
not everyone cares about other people the way you do.
The whole interrogation is like trying to have a logical conversation with a 5 or old.
No, but like, she’s totally doing whistleblower thing, so you can’t find her
He has bi polar knob head read about the disability before you say something you know nothing about!!!!
The investigators got way too emotionally involved they both were scolding David so hard telling him that they already know what happened thinking that would make him talk and meanwhile he just keeps repeating ''she's my wife she is still alive i love her and I'm going to protect her from these deep pockets'' and they just get more and more frustrated it was slightly amusing to watch tbh 😂
@christine9146 more like a two year old
Well they did say he had some pretty bad brain damage..
My sister came close to losing her life one night when she was beaten nearly to death by her ex boyfriend. She told me so many times she thought "someone is coming, someone must have heard me screaming they're comeing" but no one did. Because no one called the police. In the apartment there was broke furniture and blood everywhere which was shocking but what was really shocking was the broken sprinkler and rose bush pulled from the roots on the lawn. I asked her and she said at one point she made it outside and tried to run screaming for help but he caught her and dragged her inside so she grabbed whatever she could hold onto to stop him screaming at the top of her lungs. Then the complex issued an eviction notice because neighbors " heard the commotion and feared for their lives". But not enough to call the police and save my sister apparently. By the grace of God she survived and called me in the morning and we got her out of there and him arrested. But when I tell you walking through that felt like walking into a murder scene, I could see the splatter patterns on the walls and the blood on the objects he hit her with like something out of a movie, I'll never forget that feeling of almost losing my sister. And I will NEVER mind my own business again.
I lived with domestic violence for almost four years. The worst case of it, I was literally screaming "someone call the police, someone help me" (we lived in an apartment complex with thin walls). No one did. Please don't mind your own business, the neighbors next to you probably assumed you already called. I'm glad your sister is okay and that you were able to take a valuable lesson away from that terrible situation.
cool
No offense but what started that whole scenario? Was she poking her nose in again or creating drama. There are two sides to everything. Cheers
I called the police one night on my downstairs neighbors after I heard her say “go ahead and stab me”. She left with the police, but was back 45 minutes later. Some people - you just can’t save.

And the annoying insistence that she's still alive despite everything showing she clearly isn't.
Peak delusion - the same delusional behaviour that's driving society towards its own self-assured destruction.
Usually the put the story together in a haste after they commit the crime
he was prolly trying to go for an insanity plea so his sentence wouldn't be so harsh
Imagine if she really was hiding and these were just deepfakes from the villains to get rid of the dude. :D No im not being serious.
Everytime he said she is still alive knowing he killed her is just pure evil
So she took pictures of a pickup truck, but didn’t call the damn police?! wtf
You can thank the "karen" meme for this. Crime reporting has flat lined by white women to the point they will have the smoking gun but be too scared to say anything.
Some neighbors just enjoy being nosy. But then they wanna be post-war heroes.
There are so many reasons to refrain from calling the police. Many people won't call unless they think it's absolutely necessary.
I mean gathering evidence of potential crimes before contacting police sounds quite normal, I think you're sensationalising the wrong parts
@@jimz1024 I reckon it depends if the photos were taken before or after she was killed. If after, I can understand. If before, that just seems super odd to me.
I like neighbors that mind their own business, but at the same time, if you hear blood curdling screams from a man, woman, or child, you best be on the phone with 911.
I'm that type of neighbor, but I'm also grabbing a defense weapon and investigating so I can relay the details to emergency as I learn them. You best believe all detail is being relayed.
I'm putting money that they're the same neighbord who'd call the cops on their neighbors over the smallest noise

"Go ahead call the cops" but I only heard call the cops decided I cld deal w being the person who Called n nothing going on VS I was the person who didn't call n something did happen.
It’s common in the US, less common in some other countries.. speaking from experience
Minding your own business is like… not commenting on the yard or how the kids behave like lunatics when they play outside. Not ignoring someone’s screams. That’s negligent.
When I was eight or nine years old we were driving home when my father made my mother pull over at the top of the hill to the cul-de-sac where we lived. There he started beating her and she was screaming for her life. I jumped out of the car and I ran to the nearest homes and banged on the doors screaming for help. A man came to his door in a dressing gown, looked at me, and slammed the door in my face. Nobody called the police, nobody came to help the child screaming for help. My mother sustained multiple injuries and bumps to her brain, and if my father hadn't left when he did, she would have died. This memory was so traumatising that it has stuck with me my entire life, and I am now in my early twenties.
My mom jumped out of the car and her chin was split open and my dad hopped out leaving all three of us in the back of this tiny car and she had rolled into the grassy easement of a gas station. People were pumping gas watching my dad snatch my mom by her hair and punching her and they just kept staring and we were crying and screaming for help. And they just kept pumping gas and turned away. Im so sad to see all of these other comments of moments like ours. They dont pop up often but sometimes it just plays like a video in my head.
Im so sorry for you 😮😢
I'm so sorry you had to go through that experience and shame on those who didn't help
I’m so sorry for you all, who went through that! Stay strong!
That sounds incredibly traumatizing. How cruel of your father to do that in front of you.
That female cop was more worried about looking tuff than doing her job
people heard my aunt’s last screams before she died, but didn’t say a thing until the funeral. in a few days it’ll be the 10th anniversary of her departure, and they haven’t found the murderers yet. if you hear anything unusual, please call 911. you never know when someone truly needs it.

The fact that the neighbor didn’t call police is absolutely unreal.
*Edit*
I absolutely understand the argument from the other side about her not calling and I think it’s an interesting conversation. With that said, this seemed to be much more noise and prolonged screams than a simple question of wether it was some kids or not. I think in any case, even if doubt creeps in, you always fall on the side of being cautious and calling it in. Embarrassment about calling in something that turned out to be business as usual is better than someone possibly dead or injured.
By stander effect is a scary and real thing unfortunately
A lot of people are too self absorbed to help anyone sadly.

As someone who recently divorced someone eerily similar to this guy, the way his mother acted did not shock me at all. “He wouldn’t hurt a fly…” and the whole idea of sympathizing with the wife but not stopping him from ruining her life and being upfront about his mental state, and not getting him clinical help amazes me. There are warning signs, and I’m glad Gretchen saw and started the process of divorce, just like I did. I’m sad that she met the fate she did and her daughter had to go through that.

This guy is insane. A terrible father. How the hell can he flat out deny everything when there is evidence already against him? I just don't get it. His behavior is disgusting. What really saddens me was when he said it wasn't his daughter on the video. I got so pissed at him.
I once heard screaming and called the police. They found a woman being battered by her husband. The cops came up to my apartment after the incident, thanked me for calling because no one else had, and gave me a card with the cop's information so that I could call him directly if I ever needed anything. This was in Ohio. Being a Psychology lecturer at the time, I was teaching students about the bystander effect (regardless of the issues with the original research, it seemed to play out in this scenario), so I suspected that no one else would call and was proved right.
Exactly. They should not be able to come to your house. Like they have your number. Call you. Don't let the woman abuser or thief whatever it may be, be obvious YOU called. I'm sick of that. Sick of it. Come on.
I was in DV relationship made to move from NC to Ohio being abused daily even while going through breast cancer.
One night I heard screaming outside I threw on some pants ran outside a lady was in her yard screaming crying. We saw police coming. She thanked me because I was the only one to come outside to help.
I ran to neighbors when my abuser hit me and took my phone and left. I asked them just to call 911. They refused saying they weren't getting involved.
I was so scared and shocked they wouldn't call I was completely helpless and terrified.
Those are sone dark evil neighbors. Calling 911 is not "getting involved."
I would have brought you in, and protected you . I hope you are ok now.
@@La.Summer People know the police can't protect them and if called to court as a witness the defense attorney will attack you to remove your credibility to jurors. Your past and anything personal will be made public.
I woke up one morning & saw a nude woman out in front of my condo door. I ran out & tried to untie her. It was not until I went out that anyone else came. They had seen, but made no move to help her until I went out. The first thing she said after I got her head & mouth free was, "my baby, my baby.". I ran to her condo & got her baby, not even thinking that the rapist might still be in there & all I had on was a thin summer nightgown. Only looking back did I realize it was a dangerous situation. When I got back with the baby, my neighbors had her in their home & covered with a sheet. These situations are confusing at the time they are happening. To me it all happened in slow motion. But my neighbors said I was moving faster than they thought anyone could. Adrenaline I guess.
Sorry to hear that your cries for help went ignored.. There are those that think that getting involved can put them in danger too - that's what I eventually found out after MANY occasions of experiencing DV.. Some people are natural born hero's and the rest just can't be bothered 😢
Sorry you had to go through that, yet glad you didn't even hesitate to help that poor woman and her baby..
Stay strong ❤
My upstairs neighbors were arguing and then I heard glass break and then quiet. I called the police for a welfare check. Everyone was fine and no injuries. The wife did throw a glass in frustration at a wall but that ended the situation and both just went to separate rooms. They weren’t mad I called and apologized. I explained that the silence made me think someone got hurt and they said we knew we were getting stupid so we calmed down. My point is you never know so it’s better to be safe than sorry.
Huh, that's funny they had the maturity to know going into separate rooms was the adult thing to do at that point in the argument. But only after a glassware cup was thrown at the wall. Lmao
Not being rude or anything, I just found that funny is all.
Except now the guy is tainted as an abuser because the cops turned up after an argument.
@@thelegendaryfoxfire693 Yes, women seem to throw things.
@@Cheepchipsable You literally have no idea about what happened after the police showed up.

@@Cheepchipsable... how?? bruh cops can just show up if neibors call about anything and the woman admitted to police that she threw the glass. you sound very sad I hope you get over it
Poor judgement by the neighbor for just minding her own business but kudos to her coming forth with the info later on. She didn't kill her, David did.
About a year ago I could hear screaming and a woman being slapped HARD like i was easily 100ft away and could hear the slaps and the screams. I did not hesitate to call the police. When I saw her running I told her she could wait in my apartment while she waited for the police. She broke down in tears and asked if she could hug me. I gave her a very long hug and helped her clean the blood off her face. It shocked me no neighbors were outside or concerned about what was happening. I hope the neighbor lives with guilt for the rest of her life. It doesn’t matter if she didn’t hear the words “help me”. To be like “eh she’s probably fine” after hearing minutes of blood curdling screaming is pure fucking evil
Omg!! That is awful!! Maybe other neighbors called too, but chose to wait in their apts. Some ppl say "mind your own business", but I think a community is your business.
"You're trying to fit a square hole into a round peg."
You know who the genius was that said that quote? None other than David in this video 😮
That poor girl 😢
Btw who's the one female neighbor you're specifying in your post? What did she do exactly?
Out of all your neighbors, you're just mentioning her.. so what did she do? ..or what did she not do?
It's the kind of world we're living in now--divorced from reality, and tuned into social media; some people see and hear reality but it fails to strike a cord in them.
I heard screaming from a neighbour - yelled out ‘I’ve called the police’ everything went quiet - when the police arrived she denied he’d hit her - I saw her in town next day with two black eyes(no shame) - she married him a month later
If you hear a person screaming and begging someone to stop hurting them, people, ffs jump in and if you can’t, call the police.
Please don't just jump in, there's no need for a second victim. Only go in if you can 100% verify that there is no danger to you, but always call the police.
Same goes for accidents, protect yourself before trying to help. A colleague of my dad once lost a friend because he wanted to help after a car crash, the person involved in the accident survived with minor injuries.
@@NickBosshardFor women, understandable. For men, you are a coward if you do not act immediately.
I agree although if it's a common occurrence then you would be less likely. I lived with a. Neighbor that would have loud parties and people yelling and screaming until 4 in the morning....if I would have heard noise from their house I would have ignored it.
The way he talks is how I write my essays when I’m trying to add 200 more words
LMAOOO

Doesn't: does not

The manner in which he speaks is equal to how I formulate and write my written assignments when I am taking a shot at adding 200 more words.
That was my attempt :p
But what I tell you next about the way he talks is truly shocking...
I heard a male neighbor screaming and cussing at his gf/wife, followed by banging, through their apartment door. I called the cops. They came, but because no one would answer the door, they left. Haven't heard any banging or screaming since, but the rest of my neighbors are on high alert.
Ain't no one dying on us!
Neighbor: Let me take pictures of this black truck that I think is suspicious.
Same Neighbor: I heard a lady being murdered but she didn’t say help so I didn’t call the cops.

🫚THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age in which God saves man from the imminent destruction of this old world"
("The root of man's opposition to God is his evil caused by Satan. Because Satan has corrupted him, man's conscience is numb, he is immoral, his thoughts are corrupted, and he has a backward mind. After Satan corrupted people, their former sanity, former conscience, and character were dulled too much and destroyed by Satan. Man lost his sense, his disposition became like that of a wild animal and his rebellion against God became more frequent and more intense. What things are contained in Satan's nature? For example, Why do you become selfish?" Why are you so happy to accept those unreasonable things? Why do you love those evils so much? What is the root of your love for these things? Where do they come from? What Satan's poison is can best be expressed with words. For example, if you ask the wrongdoer: 'Why do you do that? They will answer: 'Every man for himself and the devil took the last.' This one phrase reveals the root of the problem: Satan's logic has become people's lives, even what they do for themselves. This poison becomes the life and foundation of man, it exists in his body; humanity that was made evil continued to be dominated by it for thousands of years. And what Satan does is for himself. He wants to surpass God, be free and have God's power, and possess all of His creations, then, man's nature is Satan's nature.)
Almighty God said
"The KEY of man's OPPOSITION AGAINST GOD is his EVIL CAUSED by SATAN. Because SATAN has CORRUPTED him, man's CONSCIENCE is NUMBLE, he is IMMORAL, his ATTITUDES are BAD, and he has a BACKWARD thinking. Before Satan brought him down, he obeyed God and obeyed His words. He is NATURALLY SANE and has a CLEAR CONSCIENCE, and his PERSONALITY is NORMAL. 🛑
After SATAN CORRUPTED people, his former SENSE, former CONSCIENCE, and HUMANITY were too DULL and DESTROYED by SATAN. 😪
So, he LOST his OBEDIENCE and LOVE for GOD. MAN LOST his SENSE, his DISPOSITION became LIKE a WILD ANIMAL and his REBELLION against God became MORE FREQUENT and SEVERE. 😪
But people still don't know or even recognize it, and just fight and rebel blindly."
"At the TIME, when the WORD of GOD has NOT been ALIVE to MAN, SATAN'S NATURE HOLDS and DOMINATES people.
What--what THINGS are INSIDE SATAN'S NATURE? For example, WHY are you being SELFISH?" WHY do you need to PROTECT your STATUS in LIFE? WHY do you get so EMOTIONAL? WHY are you SO HAPPY to ACCEPT those illogical things? WHY do you love those EVIL things? WHAT is the ROOT of your LOVE for these THINGS? WHERE do they COME FROM? By now you all understand that this is because of the content of SATAN'S POISON. 😪☀️
WHAT SATAN'S POISON is CAN be EXPRESSED with WORDS. For example, if you ASK the DOER: 'WHY are you DOING that?' They will answer: 'Every MAN for HIMSELF and the DEVIL TOOK the LAST.' This one phrase reveals the ROOT of the PROBLEM: SATAN'S LOGIC has become the LIFE of PEOPLE, no matter what they DO just for THEMSELVES. 😪😪
Everyone THINKS that 'Every man thinks only of himself and not of the welfare of others,' is the life and the philosophy of man, and it also represents the nature of man. 😪
'EVERY MAN for HIMSELF and the DEMON TOOK THE LAST.' This STATEMENT by SATAN is DEFINITELY POISON and when a MAN receives it, his entire personality is definitely affected. SATAN'S NATURE is EXPOSED in this REVELATION; this is his whole PERSON. This POISON becomes the LIFE and FOUNDATION of MAN, it EXISTS in his BODY; humanity MADE EVIL has CONTINUOUSLY been dominated by it for THOUSANDS--THOUSANDS of YEARS. 😪
And EVERYTHING SATAN DOES is for HIMSELF. He wants to OVERCOME GOD, be FREE and HAVE GOD'S POWER, and HAVE ALL of His CREATIONS, therefore, MAN'S NATURE is SATAN'S NATURE." 😪🙏

The neighbor is the dumbest person of all time
Right not the man who killed his wife on camera and pretended she was a whistleblower
He's not dumb; he's a murderer. She's dumb because she heard the screams and pleadings of a woman in danger but didn't contact 9/11 but somehow managed to feel the situation was dangerous or peculiar enough to warrant taking a picture of David's truck and license plate. So yeah, she is dumb. A complete dumbass who should have to look Ava in the face every day and explain why she didn't try to save Gretchen.
That doesn’t take away the fact that a 911 call could have saved Gretchen, and then going on camera to confirm her stupidity.

Guess I'm addicted to these documentaries now...
I live in a huge apartment complex. A few months ago, at around 3:45 a.m., I heard someone yelling several times, "Help me." At first, I thought my husband had his computer too loud but realized he had the volume turned down. I realized it was a neighbor who lived 1/8 of a block away from our apartment building in the same complex. She was yelling for help for about 5 minutes before I ran over to help her. Not one of the many neighbors who could hear her in the middle of the night called for help. That is messed up. Thank goodness she ended up being okay.
Sadly as a woman we do have to be cautious of situations because they will use things like this to kidnap and traffic women when they go to help. Best to call the cops and let them handle it

Hi! Some info on trafficking that might help- You're right in that someone could be messing around or setting a trap but just FYI, trafficking almost never works like that. It's a rumor that's been passed around so much people think it's real and not blaming you one bit for that but just giving you the info for your safety. Please feel free to do your own research, it's a well studied topic. But I worked with law enforcement who worked in s*x trafficking. It's usually a loved one or trusted associate that tricks you into thinking you have an escape or opportunity and end up being trapped with abuse and drugs, sometimes confinement but the mind is enough of a cage when done right.
They target people who are already on the end of their thread. People who are desperate and vulnerable. Teens or young adults whose families/spouses are neglectful or abusive, they may be homeless or sometimes addicts or even just girls or young men looking for love and support and finding a "Boyfriend" online or at a bar but coming from such a toxic environment that they don't know how to identify the red flags in the person's behavior... things like that.
It's the people you know who pose the greatest risk to you statistically, whether you're talking assault, grape, murder or trafficking, strangers are the minority of offenders. Not to say distrust everyone in your life and keep them at a distance, but do keep yourself safely positioned, so many of the traditional thoughts on relationships can trap you in abuse if you don't learn to see the signs. Highly recommend studying the basics of psychological dysfunction, like personality disorders, cycles of abuse, attachment types, etc, etc.. Life changing information that helps you so much in so many ways.

If they target random adults in populated areas, they are just bringing the cops and media down on them. It's a huge risk and there's no need. There's plenty of young people from poor and dysfunctional households who are perfect targets, easy to trick into volunteering, family can't/ won't do much, cops will treat it like a runaway, plus drugs are usually already part of the equation. There's simply no need for them to take the risk. Like serial killers, most often, they go for the easy targets and know where to find them. It's tragic.
I remember a couple years back people were getting so worked up online because in some city, someone thought it would be kind and uplifting to leave a single rose on their parked car in a grocery parking lot and everyone thought it was traffickers... it's not. That's just not how it works.
Sorry if multiples, it wouldn't post.

This case is truly haunting. It's so sad that Gretchen tried to call 911 through Alexa but it didn't go through because it wasn't hooked up. :( RIP Gretchen.
From that recording I think she was just screaming “Ahhh” and Alexa recorded that moment thinking she was saying Alexa because she doesn’t say any numbers. Unless there’s another video but it said that was the Alexa recording.
AI IS demonic
She yelled Alexa call 911 but it didn't catch it which is why Alexa is much more sensitive now when you're talking and it just starts talking back to you and you never said her name it's because of this case. It misheard the call part.. and yes whenever you say Alexa it starts recording FYI

@@djLagwayEnjoyerLongterm psych hospitals pretty much don’t exist anymore in the US….Regan closed them.
The few inpatient psych units that remain have very short stays, for good and bad. At the one I worked in, the average stay after a serious suicide attempt was 1 or 2 days, though this is based on the inpatient care generally does not lead to better outcomes).
The psych units that do exist are often financially insolvent, and kept open by hospitals as a community service. Everyone wants better mental health care…but no one wants to pay for it. Our small unit had 3 nurses who did nothing but fight with insurance companies for payment.
Just go to any inner city and you can clearly find many people with far more debilitating neuropsych issues, left to the streets.
It varies a bit by state, but it generally EXTREMELY hard to have someone legally committed, and until courts get involved due to a crime, it’s typically only for very short-term, crisis care. It’s not like in the movies.
It says a lot about a certain segment of our population when they believe exactly what an insane person with a TBI believes.
It would have been life w/out parole but they cut a deal so the family could bury her rotten carcass remains.

When I was a kid, me and my mom heard our (female) neighbor scream hysterically in the stair well of our apartment building. My mom run out of our apartment and saw another (male) neighbor attack the woman, he had her cornered and was stabbing her with a kitchen knife in the chest. So my mom run up to him and tried to pull his arm holding the knife away, but due to weight difference she just ended up kind of hanging from his arm. It gave the woman a few seconds to run away and quite possibly saved her life. But some people will hear someone screaming for help and they won't even call the police.

@@FritznalI think he was trying to say if you call out fire, people are more likely to come out to investigate out of concern for themselves. When you cry for help many people choose not to get involved because many domestic cases women stay in the relationship even though they’re being battered.

@@AsYouLikeIt_Zendi21 In this particular case the woman and the man were not in an intimate relationship. They were neighbors from different apartments and got into a lot of fights for a lot of petty reasons.

Karma got him though: he had his leg amputated in prison after a fight with other inmates. After his release he got married to a woman, who ended up murdering him in a domestic...a wild story altogether.
On the other note, if I got viciously attacked suddenly and without warning, I don't know whether I would have enough mental presence to think about screaming "fire". People unused to violence react on instinct, not rational thought.
Wow this dude is in such denial even when he’s caught red handed. What a coward. I have never seen a suspect so bullheaded during an intergation.

@@NewjerseyblowsYep always and convey as much information as possible, it's easier for you to give all the information available to you than it is for somebody being attacked, so the person being attacked gets to call quickly and fill in some gaps giving much more information to responding officers, instead of just the little bit from each individual.

When I was a young kid, I saw my neighbor laying in their yard not moving. I was only eleven or twelve, so I was afraid to go out there and check on him. So I called 911.

For a long time I've felt bad about it and cringed at myself for not checking on him first, but now I'm glad that I at least did something just in case.
The fact that the neighbor heard a woman scream and was suspicious enough to take photos of the truck but didn't call the police...so frustrating. I'm sure she regrets it now.

It's sad how many other victims don't make it because people are afraid to be wrong. Recently, my sister and I were talking, and I mentioned our brothers saying they heard me screaming. She said it reinforced her resolve to call the cops, even if she thinks she could be wrong, when there are screams that don't sound like playing (interspersed with giggling).
Im so sorry you had to go through that😢😢this is why I always say something....
Maybe you just had a really loud scream while being punished
If i know your mom is a god fearing woman why would i assume she is going to kill you
Maybe you aren't a good child and you misbehave in your own self righteousness and individuality
And if everyone in the neighborhood knows that as a common occurrence where you end up still being alive why call?
If it was the screams of your mother I'm sure they would have called, but if you screamed all the time and you got punished all the time it's just par for the course
Don't take it so personally, you're not that important and internalizing that will make your life allot more pleasant
@@PaendaTube WOW. You have some messed up logic.
"God fearing," or pretending to be, is no guarantee and is sometimes a cover.
Just because someone ends up alive the next day... Are you serious? The day they don't end up alive do you reconsider your choices? It's too late then.
Someone screaming from being beat, if it even lasts just minutes, is not discipline. Hearing screaming while playing with your kids (which implies the passage if time) is excessive.
You should be checked out (in person) by a psychiatrist because you may be unaware that you are a narcissist.
Your "brothers" are assholes

While in college I was walking my dog down a bike path one night and saw a girl walking quickly, arms crossed, head down. A guy was aggressively catching up to her. I asked if she was okay or needed help. She smiled and said no but thank you. As a girl myself it felt wrong to just walk away. I decided to hang around and watch. Sure enough I saw her run from him and heard arguing. They ran into a field and when he threw her down on the ground I called 911. I found out they were in a relationship. She wasn't upset about the cops being called and thanked me again. All I'm saying is Better safe than sorry!
I’m glad you listened to your intuition. Most women have zero sense of self preservation, and it is annoying to be lied to when that can be the difference between life and death.

I’m pissed off at that woman- “nobody was yelling help, that’s why I didn’t call the police” 😡
Makes sense
And she screamed for literal MINUTES yet thought everything was fine??
Im pissed at the entire world. Cause this happens everywhere. F….g cowards
Lady cop 5.2’ sure knows how to escalate a situation to 6.7’ 😂
highest quality true crime videos every single time. Thank you EWU
I agree mostly, if you ignore the fact that 30% of all videos are blurred (seriously how the FUUUUUCK do you blur a static image of a bloody rag? are these videos for kindygardners?) and the multiple watermarks
I realize how much your upbringing impacts your ability to get involved in situations with strangers and neighbors. My mother was the type of mom who was looking out for everyone. If she heard a scream, she called the police. If she saw a kid alone, she was helping them find their mother. My mom treated everyone’s business like it was her business. Now me and my sister are exactly like her too. The people who I know who are not like this grew up with parents who told them to mind their business or to ignore situations like this. It’s sad how many people do this.
That's beautiful and I'm glad there are people like you in this world!
Absolutely the truth. We were raised to stay out of people business no matter what was going on. I can’t tell you how much I had to train myself to ‘do something’ in situations like these. Definitely wish my parents would have made it more of a priority. As an adult I see affect me. The inability to see/feel if a situation has gone too far to the point it needs to end.
Yes, this is commonplace in most of the South! I can't imagine ignoring anyone's screams! God bless your Mother❤
"she was screaming for a while" and you didn't think to call the police? are you serious?
She said she thought it was kids playing or something
@@AirNeat Thats's even worse if she thought kids were yelling help...
@@AirNeat She said she knew it WAS NOT kids because the screaming kept going.
Ok then, there goes another thing Alexa doesn’t understand.
When in doubt…CALL! You’ve got to follow those gut instincts! This is mind blowing!
She was concerned enough to take photos of the truck, but not to call when there was screaming?! So so tragic
Let’s normalize calling 911 when you hear screaming. People are just so dumb…
Culture. Suspicion of authority is healthy. But when even those about to die from the murder, refuse to give up their assailant? That's culture.
Cops rarely ever do anything anyways
