she inspires me to get up and stop procrastinating. it's extremely saddening how her life was cut short when she already had her new years resolution planned out, so i'll do this in honor of payton.
The fact that she said “live like you might die tomorrow” is so sad. She had no idea the horror that would happen to her and all she wanted was to live life without regret yet it was taken by a disgusting and tormented person she loved. This case is completely heartbreaking, Rest in peace to these beautiful souls
Sorry, but no one will rest in peace without Jesus. We are all sinners and have broken the commandments of a holy God, so we cannot go to heaven if we are without righteousness. But one is Jesus Christ died for our sins on the cross of Calvary and bore the sins of the world and received the wrath of God for all. He died and after three days rose from the dead bodily and went to heaven and will come again to judge the dead and the living. Believe and repent.
Wow. Payton’s monologue smacked me in the face. I am a single mum with terminal (stage 4) cancer and two young kids and she nailed it on the head. Put her words on replay. Smart beyond her years. Poor little thing.
I have this feeling that he is still out there living a new life with some poor woman who has absolutely no idea that her sweetheart is actually a psychopath.
Payton was wise beyond her years... And her mom seemed like an incredible being. Teaching the deaf and blind? Come on, why do the good people die first...
Because they are the easy ones to manipulate. Its a sad thing when someone who wants to do something good will have their kindness taken then stabbed in the back.
payton is the type of person that deserves everything in her life except for this. what an incredible mindset. she did not deserve what she got. Made me tear up.
Never could I have imagined that a young girl by the name of Peyton would change my perspective on how I’m currently living my life. I’m soon to be 26 and what she voiced in the last video of her shown definitely hit hard because how she expressed her personal feelings at her age, is exactly how I feel at mine. As if im living for others and am too aware of what I can and cannot say or express about myself. Having my own opinions and being able to voice them without it escalating into something negative and failing to live in the now, instead worried about what’s to come in 20 years knowing tomorrow isn’t guaranteed. Im so sorry this happened to her, her mom and cheryl. May they all rest in peace
Yeah it hits hard, she really had the right idea and she never got to achieve anything in her vision. Cut short far too soon. I've never felt so affected by one of these videos before. We all need to do a little something today to honour her thoughts. RIP
"Stop waiting for the right moment, there will never be a right moment" Payton was so wise beyond her years and self aware and had so much clarity about who she was as a person and what she wanted to do. The world really lost someone who was gonna make a difference. RIP

@@ginmar8134 Like seriously I read the first two sentences of her(Lilith Levi) comment and for the life of me I just can't grasp what the hell she is trying to say. The English is really bad(not an insult just stating facts)
It's called sociopathy. They have no empathy. And it's not like they're just pretending they don't feel bad about their actions and hurting others, they don't have the capacity or possess that emotion at all. You can't imagine being that way because you've always had it- you don't like to hurt people because it's mean, it's wrong and you know how it feels. Once you've felt it you always know it. But it's like they're born missing something, that capability to feel another's pain so it's just not a big deal to them.
Well I wouldn't say resting peacefully more like rotting pieces because of maggots and fly's. Yes I am well aware that I'm just cruel and mean. Get over it reality is what it is.
Peyton’s post on RUclips at the end just hit this 44-year-old woman like no other who is struggling with life right now. A post from a girl tragically lost her precious life just changed mine.
Her saying all that at the end brought me to tears, she had no clue she was going to die, but still tried to live her life fuller than most people from what it sounds like
Okay, every murder case is sad, but something about this one is really a tearjerker... The way Nadja and Cheryl just wanted to be happy and have a nice, quiet life, and thought they had found it with Gerald. The fact that Payton came to call him "dad". And don't even get me started on him killing some of the animals too, like-- GOD I just feel so bad for them all, and for everyone close to them who Gerald also fooled. To all the victims; may you rest in eternal peace...
@@TheAlmightyAss there's a difference between pets, whom you form connections to, to animals which you use to consume food. learn the difference weirdo.
@@TheFuckingVicious i never said anything about them being cute or not, read my comment again lols. there's a clear distinction, how do you not see it? pets are kept for the purpose of companionship, livestock is food. it's up to your perception, i'm not in a place to judge. i think farm animals are cute, but i still eat them, but who says i can't keep them as a pet? i've had pet chickens, but i still eat chicken. i never said it was okay to kill the dogs, i was replying to someone who said it was. this has nothing to do with an animal being "cute."
@@ACoffeeBubble You can eat whatever you want, it's your choice. But if you eat chickens, pigs and cows... Why not cats and dogs? What makes cats and/or dogs "superior" to other animals, to the point they're not seen as food? Is it a cultural thing? Cuteness? As you said, you can have pet chickens and eat them. So, why not dogs? Sounds a bit hypocritical, that's my point. I don't eat any meat, because all meat is the same. It's wrong to eat dead animals, IMO, but no animal's more important than other.
I am literally crying for the last part of this video. She did not deserve it, neither her mom and that poor woman. I am 27 years old and I will make Payton's last words my way to live from now on.
My god me too!! Had a rough day before watching this and hearing her say things like "do what makes you happy" and "standing up for yourself" absolutely had me in tears. I really wish somebody had taught me those things when I was her age, she's a smart kid. God, what a loss. Poor kid.
This is an unbelievably sad story. Especially the daughter, her bio dad died and was allegedly abusive, and then she thought of this guy as like a Dad to her and he killed her and her mom. And his wife of 7 years 😢 he needs to be found and punished
He convinced his wife to finance the house and thought she wouldn't figure things out? I wonder if he planned on killing just his wife until she made her surprise visit and discovered his secret family. What a sad and weird story.
Peyton and her mom really seemed to believe he was a genuine good guy. I do wonder if his wife was getting suspicious when she made the long road trip.
@@deonfitzgerald2604 the new place in Idaho was about 5 hours away from where they had all previously lived in Utah. the women lived 8 miles away from each other in Utah; the murders took place in Idaho
Nah he'd be too recognizable in Florida. I'm betting someplace more tropical and not in the United States. He's a pilot so he could've hopped in a small passenger plane and went anywhere within those 10 days.
@@LynnAgain83 I was thinking he'd do well somewhere like Alaska (he's educated enough on 'survival training' to have actually taught it to others), & being a pilot he could easily use a small passenger plane to get around the especially rural areas there. He's also less likely to be recognized (particularly if he chooses somewhere not densely populated or in constant contact with the outside world). And even if he _was_ recognized, there are so many people who go to Alaska _specifically_ to escape their own pasts or live 'off the grid' that a lot of them consider it an unofficial 'rule' to stay out of others' business, even if that person is a fugitive.
As a 30 year old Scotsman I haven't cried in years but that last part of the video with Payton destroyed me 💔, she reminds me so much of my little niece who would have been about the same age as her. Nadja also reminds me so much of her mum too, not just mother and daughter but best friends. Bless all three of those poor, beautiful souls.💔
If he’s really a pilot, and if he still flies, I can’t believe they haven’t caught him that way. At his age, to be a commercial pilot, he’s got to have physical exams quite regularly. The pilot community is VERY small and surely another airman would recognize him.
@@Buglin_Burger7878 that seems like a lot of work lol not saying it’s impossible, but it seems easier to make an honest living as a pilot. Maybe he took a lot of time off, but trying to commit these crimes as well as scamming and hacking as a full time job while keeping two completely separate love lives separate just seems crazy lol that’s a lot of work
That child was incredibly intelligent. Just watching her talk about big life concepts like taking things on no matter what because there will never be a "right time". Thats something that took me to my mid 20's to figure out. Its a shame thinking of what an incredible human being she would've been, especially in this RUclips age. She would've made a phenomenal influencer. Rest in peace to the whole family.
This guy looks very very familiar to me. I drive a ready mix concrete truck here in Houston Texas, and I swear I've seen this man. For the life of me I can't think of from where. In my occupation I see tons of faces on a regular basis so really idk for sure. I will be keeping my eyes peeled. That video with Payton completely floored me, and broke my heart. I took a screen shot of Geralds photo and description and printed it. I can assure you this print will remain in my work truck just in case I see him and need to call the police, tail him. RIP to these innocent woman, and most especially "I WANT JUSTICE FOR PAYTON" ❤️
@@IcamefromJeddah Check them all out. :o But yeah, he is pretty nondescript. I see a case like this and I'm like... What does he look like with weight loss or weight gain. If you really want to change how you look, change your weight in either direction.
Payton was so wise beyond her years. I’m 25 and some of my peers aren’t even that mature and self-aware. The world feels so much darker when angels like her get taken away from us. RIP darling, you will never be forgotten ❤
Hearing that young girl speak those words while knowing full well she'd be killed not long after broke my heart. This is the first true crime video I've ever watched, and I've seen many, that made me cry. This case deserves so much more exposure.
I worked with Mrs. Baker during her last year as an art teacher. She was so kind and wonderful, her loss was severe and soul-crushing in the community. And the manhunt that followed, in Southern Idaho and Northern Utah, for this man was so intense and shocking. There were wanted posters on the door of every public building and sheriffs on every through-street. Every night the news would show his picture and warn that he was a skilled outdoorsman who was likely to be in the wilderness.
@@heavensbeardedheathen6999 how did this person make this about their self? I think the comment was thoughtful. Obviously you missed the part where they said Mrs. Baker was kind and wonderful. Go back, read the comment and try again.
@@yeetnama9094 Men need to stop abandoning their families, and raise their kids, help keep them safe. Men should stop going out, and purposefully preying on women with kids. Weird how you need to blame single moms, but not the dads who made them a single parent household, nor the monsters. Says a lot about you, gross, gross, gross.
@@ScreamingDucksShotMyMother you can tell a lot about a person by their appearance,, there's a reason why the sins includes sloth gluttony greed,, and seriously that woman looks like she was guilty of that and so much more,, her character doesn't reveal a good person trying to pressure a dude you were casually dating into paying your bills is ridiculous,,,,,,, who's to say Peyton's father wanted to be a father or even knew he was a father she was probably just trying to extort him years ago as well, her and her daughter look like they didn't try very hard to take care of themselves or have any self-responsibility,, like seriously the woman dumped the old dude she was banging cuz he wouldn't pay her bills any more and you think she's of High character? I know a lot of single mothers and to say that they are all victims is the biggest lie I could conceive of! some of them have genuinely been screwed over or abused, and some of them run around looking for ways to extort men because they don't think they have to work. Not only was this woman Adept at extorting men but she was Raising her daughter alienated from her real father and craving a father so much that she was calling her mom's casual boyfriend dad,, or was her mother telling her to call him dad as a means to reel him in hence using her daughter in this extortion?? I'm 40 now but I can vividly remember being a teenage girl and anyone who calls a teenage girl innocent is delusional,, especially one who is training under her extortionist mother and participating in extortion and manipulating a man for her own ends... They didn't exactly deserve to die but you get what's coming to you when you're being sinful and deceitful and selfish and horrible,, I feel sorry for the woman who married him and then had to pay for him and the women who were using him as sugar daddy.... Maybe I've just got my perception though because I'm a woman who has paid my bills my whole life and I know lots of single mothers who all have a different story, I'm sure I'd feel differently if I was a single mother by choice out there playing the role of the victim trying to get everybody to pay my way thinking that the world owes me something cuz I spread my legs and didn't get what I wanted, when you spread your legs you get a baby you don't get Financial Security, it's time women figured that out!
Payton's New Year's Resolutions and advice is heartbreaking. She is so intelligent, just before I got unwell, I would talk like that and I had 20 years on her, am a teacher and zoologist. She was already so smart as well as kind and sweet. Rest in peace dear angel, I hope you get justice x ❤ x
Thank you for bringing attention to this story because I never heard of it! Payton looked so much like Tylee Ryan! She’s seemed like such a mature young woman. It’s sad she was caught up in this. None of them deserved what happened to them. I thought Gerald seemed to good to be true! He’s probably chilling with Brian Laundrie as we speak! I hope they’re both brought to justice soon.
It’s does seem this man was money orientated. I’m so appalled at this tragic outcome for a lovely mother and child….just horrid. Always take time to check your partner out as well as set your finances up for your benefit unless you are married. Thanks ewu for this tragic update story. Well documented and video content. Keep it up friends.
my first thought as soon as i heard where " mike / gerard " had gone! I really don't think he's killed himself out of guilt. Not a chance, a guy like that. Sicko. Very sad story 😢😢😢
Her speech (bit at 35:15) really resonated with me, wish someone would've used those words when I was struggling with mental health and substance abuse..
That last video of Payton really breaks my heart, hearing her talk about her love of writing… I can imagine from just that video alone and the sorta pep talk and the artistic endeavors that she probably had her own trauma and psychological things that she was dealing with with like her deceased dad’s abuse towards her mom… Like it sounds like this was a family that was getting over what they thought was the worst and being particularly vulnerable and trusting Mike, only for it to have not been the case
Payton’s message in the end was well said and she seems lucid upon career taking and life in general. It’s dreadful to see how twisted and unthinkable an individual can be. Payton also seems well aware of what she wants and it’s saddening to see her final posts. So unfortunate: God bless them.
Yeah , if I had 5 minutes alone with that loser who killed her... It'd be one hell for that Mike loser who will get his karma cause it always comes back around. That POS. She was a child , and had nothing to do with any of it. How could he? Over being found out that he was a dirty cheater?
That message at the end made me cry no lie she reminds me of my daughter so much and I deal with a rough divorce as of right now i see her but not as much as me an her as both used to an she honestly wants to live with me but hey it is what it is I gotta deal with life as it comes I guess but this message really hit me at the end life sometimes ain’t shit tbh
I said the same thing. these are things I only recently learned in my own life and I'm in my late 20s so for her to have already been that self aware at 14 is pretty remarkable. its sad she's gone bc of this d*ck head
@@Airemeldeif enough ppl are aware of her message and use it in their own life she can live on through everyone else that takes her advice to heart. Millions of ppl have seen this video
this video hit me so much harder than any other case. peyton’s relationship with her mom is very similar to my relationship with my mom. i’m so grateful to not be the victim of a case like this.
I think the saddest thing about this case is not only the murders, but that the young girl had accepted him as her dad. How he could have brought himself to shoot the girl too is horrifying. Did he have no fondness for her? He was so resolved that she wasn’t worth it anymore? So sad.
He is pilot so he could have just left. I’m sure he knows some ways to get the heck outta there. He killed them for sure. No doubt about that. My sister is a sociopath and she is just like him. He would t have killed himself on purpose. He most likely feels they did him wrong in some way and it is “their” fault for what he “had” to do. Like when my sister tried to kill me. She though it was my fault she had to do it. Those people are not to be trusted. They are very smart people that use it for all of the wrong reasons. He left the county or he did something clever so no one will recognize him.
I agree with you 💯 they are very smart and sneeky this story and what you have told us about ur sister I'm sorry this happened to you glad you are okay
Agreed. As soon as he said they thought he might have killed himself i said "no, not this one". I doubt he even thought he had to kill these women, he just saw a problem and a solution that was easy. I doubt it was even a crime of passion. It was just the simplest way to clean up a small mess for him. Wherever he is, its unlikely he gives it any or much thought at all.
@@mommy2libras I wouldn't say that. They love to revel in their crimes and read about them. Maybe even return to the crime scene or visit their graves out of pure excitement. The problem is we don't know if he's a psychopath or a sociopath, both differ in their reactions to people. I also had a sociopath to deal with, but in class for 7 years. First 4 years in primary then 3 in gymnasium, when they still existed. Anyways, his sociopathic tendencies only started showing when I met him in gymnasium. He had lots of animals that were mistreated, he even once gave me his guinea pig he got from me to be her caretaker for the time being till he'll return from his 2 week Christmas vacations. If only I knew. At first there were no problems, I also had a guinea pig, and his was the leader, as mine was a scaredy cat. There was almost something unnatural about his guinea pig being so brave, she even tried to eat metalic Christmas decorations. Then one day we found her almost unresponsive. She died at the veterinary from hunger!!! Or at least I think she did, I don't kmow if she was euthanized or not. Turned out she lost her upper teeth!!! But how?! I witnessed him once throwing her up and down on his hands. This empathy lacking idiot must have done something to her, gave us her, and suddenly he goes on vacation on Christmass? I think he somehow wanted me to take the fall for it. I cried for that poor guinea pig, he never did. He had lots of animals, cats, dogs, a chinchilla. One of his cat escaped to never return (I don't blame him/her) and his dog was always trying to lick my and other guests private areas, we had to gently push away her face, but she was very forceful. His mother implied that's how they got her, weird considering she was doing it only to us when we were at his place. He must have put something good in his ungodly area so that the dog would lick it. I am today 100% sure that it was the case or very highly probable. He never showed tears after the loss of the guinea pig. In fact I don't recall him crying at all ever, he lacked empathy and was manipulative, but he was dumb, he could persuade only people as dumb as him. I wouldn't want him to be my roommate, ever. I'd be dead somewhere in UK probably by now if he was.
“We don’t have enough time in this world to just wait for the best moment” This is legit the part of what she said that got me the hardest, so young, such brilliance, a bright person with big dreams, how 😞
Oh Payton... I'm so sorry this world has such monsters in it. I don't know what kind of writing you did but I hope you're getting to live in one of your creations and that you get to inspire and live as you were hoping to do in this life. We'll try not to be sad you're gone but be happy you and people like you ever graced us with your presence.
Listening to Payton speak in her final video makes me so emotional. You can tell she was someone who only ever wished the best for others and loved her family and friends. She seems like she was really smart as well. I hope Gerald realised/realises what he took from this world. She could've been successful if she was alive right now. I hope she really did live everyday like it was her last so that she enjoyed them to their fullest in the short amount of time she had.
This video really creeped me out because this guy was in all the places Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie visited before Gabby's homicide. Kylen Schulte and Crystal Turner were shot multiple times while camping in vicinity of Moab. What if this guy is the weirdo who was hanging around their campsite? May all these beautiful ladies RIP.
@@brandyhuff8487 It could be a stretch, but I think it's a possibility. What I found interesting is that the guy returned to his camp with additional clothes and food. On foot to my knowledge. The women told their friends he had a car but not what type. Where did he go to get the food and clothes? Perhaps there are other dead campers in that forest. Perhaps Brian Laundrie's biggest crime is panicking when he found Gabby's body - because of the incident on the 12th. I hope we do eventually find out what happened because this is a very confusing case and I am conflicted about whether he killed her or not.
@@marionfriedenthal7352 I'm leaning towards unlikely because of the 4 years of weather and winters, idk how much supposed survival skills he has but eh I guess yeah anything is possible
Man seeing the mom and daughter so joyful for their futures and how their lives were going is so tragic. When the daughter says in her Vlog that they’re on their way to Yellowstone and then she says “I’m really happy” that really got to me. It’s became so rare to see people happy or truly be happy enough with life to say that nowadays and then their lives were taken from them shortly after. Heart breaking 😔🙏🏼
I was holding it together until Payton said it’s best to live like you’re dying tomorrow instead of like you have 20 years to go. I wish she would have had at least 20 years left :( she was so so young. I can only hope that she was able to live her short life to the fullest with this wise philosophy. Rest easy, Payton, and paint your mom wherever you two may be should there be an afterlife. You two have become the galaxy now.
Seriously, that last clip hit heard. I feel like she was talking straight to me. This is terrible, but what a good message she had, that's something to live by. Thanks for showing that part, it's really important, you're keeping her memory alive.
Thank you for the videos of Payton and her mother. The most frustrating part of many others who handle true crime cases is that they de-emphasize the victims and emphasize the life and "good" of the killers and perpetrators of violence. Victims deserve the voice that much more than the criminal, because in death, their voice is exactly what was stolen from them, while these killers often remain alive for decades to come, either uncaught, or allowed to live on state money and nothing but time for appeals and telling the world how hard their childhood was. Give victims their voice back. Say their names, their histories, their passions and loves. They are the true focus of such cases.
Honestly I’m a single mom and videos like this just makes me want to keep to myself and focus on taking care of child. This world is a crazy place, you can’t trust anyone.
I have to say Payton's words were exactly what I needed to hear right now. So big thank you to her. ❤️ Sincerely hope this man is found, he doesn't deserve to be living his life.
I don't know how to believe in anything anymore when there's so much tragedy lately. After listening to Peyton speak about living life, I want to stand strong like her, but I also just want to curl up in a ball and sob my eyes out for the next couple of hours. I hope whoever else out there that's struggling with this horrible state of continuous loss is doing ok and finding a way to heal in a healthy manner. Sending you a hug through the screen; love you ❤💕
Amazing words and feelings Gabriella. I'm old. I'll share with you what my long life has taught me. The correct choice is to STAND STRONG, but not on your own. Keep your relations with as many GOOD, TRUSTWORTHY family and friends as you can and share your life with that TRUSTED extended circle of yours. Time will prove to you whom they are. Use the strength, wisdom, healing and support that your extended circle offers. Don't trust any new person you meet until TIME, your due diligence and your EXTENDED CIRCLE verify that person is legit. Also, about the current state of continuous loss, just realize that the vast majority of people live normal lives and end up dying of old age lol. Be careful of course, but realize the news and internet are ways for people to make money and they show the dramatic and horrible side of life to get people to watch their shows so they can make money from commercials. Most of people's lives are not like that. Yes, fate could intervene in life at any moment, but you just can't let that stop you from living your life like you want. Build a strong life for yourself. Do it with others you trust. Be careful and wise and enjoy your life to the max.
Aww I've lost all my faith especially after my miscarriage and seeing how evil people prosper yet great people suffer. How sick and evil this world truly is just gotta stay positive and take it day by day. I need to learn to love myself and be okay by myself and maybe same self care. Make sure you take care of yourself, love yourself, remind yourself you come into this world only you are a miracle! Sending hugs your post gives me a little faith as you speak the truth and are very kind. 💜💯💯

I prefer true crime cases covered well more than interrogation. And the quality of this video is top notch. Tons of pics of the property and the family. Well researched. If these continue like this that chapter and ewu will reign supreme in the true crime yt genre.
this channel has quickly become one of my favourite true crime channels! the narration is amazing and so easy to listen to. this is a voice that was made for narration!
It is truly heartbreaking to hear about Payton's story and the tragedy that ended her young life. Her video on RUclips is a poignant reminder of the importance of living life to the fullest and not taking any moment for granted. It's remarkable how such a young person could speak so powerfully and inspire so many with her words. Payton's legacy will undoubtedly continue to live on through the lives she touched and the message she shared.
& I still don't understand who runs in cuz at first ewu was videos of a girl and her father I think hiking weird locations and stuff then all of a sudden it's all different content I mean I like it jus saying I'm confused.
I wish we could hear Payton talking to us today. She was such a beautiful, thoughtful, caring girl, she would have been an awesome woman. Rest well, Payton, Nadia and Cheryl, on the property you all cherished. This man's image is in my mind now, no matter what name he may be using.
This is reminiscent of the story where a man shot his 3 children, wife and mother, cleaned the house of blood, left a letter with a confession for the priest and ran away. Then he started a new life under a new name, got married, hid for 20 years, until he was miraculously caught by the police. I think the personalities of these 2 men were somewhat similar, image was above all else for them.
John List, Westfield NJ. He was caught after a sketch on America's Most Wanted was so accurate that his neighbor called the police to let them know it was him.
Payton left a legacy of having hope on a daily bases. Seeing her last video, I hear her. I understand all those resolutions. And I receive everything she tried to live for. What a sweet girl she sounded like. What a cruel world we live in for people to take lives away like it’s nothing. Sweet girl and her mom, and the wife who also must have been heart broken learning the lies of her husband, i hope they can be remembered for who they were, and not the awful things this man did to them.
I tend to watch/listen to these videos while getting ready for work, and the portion of Payton’s advice made me stop in my tracks and fully listen. What a wonderful girl, I wish I could thank her for her words.
"Not on RUclips you wont" That giggle, the way they leaned into each other and the smiles. Yeah, just that clip alone hit hard. Thanks for sharing their kind moments. I went into this story thinking the wrong person to be the problem. I am floored.
He's a narcissist, he didn't un-alive himself. I would like to know if he owns a plan and still has his pilot licence. Yet another who picked that National Forest to hide in. There were 2 females just murdered there. I wonder if there is a connection? I hope they catch this dude fast his character reminds me of Wayne Gacey in how he juggled life with out a worry.
That young girl was truly a special one and he ended her life for selfish reasons. Her video encouraging us to live in the moment was so touching. Wish many more kids were like her. RIP beautiful.
I live near Nampa, I remember when this happened....and my heart breaks for this little girl, her last video shared seriously gives me chills....she was going to be an amazing person one day. Hopefully her and her mother are together in the next life.
@@oAgL214 yeah agree. We have a similar case in my country and I'm also 💯 sure the guy just went abroad and living his best life. Those people don't go in the woods afterward to shoot themselves without an audience. He did this because he was cornered by these poor ladies not because he regretted anything
@@oAgL214 I wanna agree, but some pretty shitty people have killed themselves. Hitler, Elliot Rodgers, etc. Hopefully he isn’t living his best life! That would be so depressing
I think someone else owns the property now. I wonder if they would be open to have ghost "hunters" check out the shed. (I'm also local to this community, and know where this house is.)
no one's advice has ever impacted me the way peyton's has. it's so devastating that she, her mother, and cheryl's lives were taken away. i can only imagine the incredible things the three of them could've and would've done if they were still here today. i hope they know they're missed :( ❤
Thats beautiful. I will try to do this as well to keep her memory strong and living on in our hearts. Because she more than deserves that much from the world and her fellow humans. Hope youre both doing amazingly ❤❤❤@@inheritmyshoes9559
This tragic story really pierced my heart and made me cry. I am a single mom with a little girl of my own. I feel so bad for the victims and the people who love them and knew them the most.
The mom never should have asked for money though...not only is that a red flag for not being married, but also due to the newness of the relationship. Just because he had a lot of money doesn't mean her as a girlfriend deserved it. Obviously she didn't deserve to die, but her asking for money could have been a trigger for what he did to her and her daughter, she should have just left him if it was all about the money for her anyway
You did such a good job on this video. Thank you for your efforts. I think you told this story well and didn’t make it overly dramatic which showed respect to the victims.
The bystander effect is so brutal sometimes 😢... "I'm sure *someone else* will report or call the police". I was robbed in the middle of the day, along a busy road. No cars stopped, ppl crossed the street, WHILE I called for help. I could see them staring, though.. When I reported later on, cops said they hadn't received any calls re: my situation in that area or anything that day. That honestly freaked me out, as they told me this happens often ~ to know how typical it is for ppl see/hear things, but thought things like; I'm sure it's a lovers quarrel, maybe they're friends arguing, they're just kids fooling around, I don't have the time to be a witness, etc..while I was being attacked by a stranger. Wtf right? I was a teen, then. I'm much older now, but I forever can't help but wonder who is around.. who I can trust. I'm always super vigilant about my surroundings. For the safety of me, AND *others*. If you even think you see/hear something, it's better to be safe than sorry n report it ✌🏽 ❤. Stay safe everyone. Light n love
RIP Payton. You were a beautiful and intelligent young woman and I'm so sorry your precious, innocent life was cut short by this monster who had the audacity to call himself a father figure.
What's up EWU Crew? Thank you for bringing this style of content back!! The interrogation videos are top notch, but I'll always prefer this kind. Take care!
I can’t believe he looked those people in the eye and shot them dead. Hearing Peyton speak broke my heart, she had the mindset that changes the world and now she’s gone. There needs to be a real conversation on single mothers and potential “leachers”.
How do you know he looked them in the eye? Are you the actual killer or just assuming he looked them in the eye. You are very suspect now because of your statement.
Not defending the guy since obviously he did a horrible thing, but...don't you realise her mom was a leech as well? The commentator said that the mom expected him to pay her bills, which is a major red flag in a relationship. You don't just ask your boyfriend/girlfriend for tons of money, especially if the relationship isn't that old. That's something reserved for marriage...even if you don't believe in marriage it still is a red flag to ask for money regardless. Doesn't mean she deserves to die, because she did NOT deserve to die. But, she's not some pure person like everyone is trying to make her out to be
If one person decides to live their dreams as a result of Payton's message, then part of her vibrant spirit will be carried on into the future. Living on in us. Payton, I already live my dreams as much as I can right now, but I'm going to look for ways I can do it even more because you deserved to be able to do it yourself, to write, to play guitar, and become a strong adult woman, and it's not fair you couldn't. And I'm so lucky to be alive.
That final video from Peyton brought me to honest to god tears. Life is cruel but she also reminded us how fulfilling it can be if we live it to the fullest.
Hands down, you are the best crime storyteller! You also do a fantastic job researching and including all the video/ photo footage. You’ve gained a new lifetime subscriber! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 great job and keep it up!!!
Her clips broke me. I'm a bit older and I can't be brave enough to write and speak up. I wasn't ready for that😭 That's an angel right there, rest easy💔 I don't know what else to say.
A+ Payton and Nadja captured in time. They’re so full of love and light. It’s so true…. The good die young. I’m listening Payton! I’m living my life! That’s a promise, baby. 💛
Payton saying she wants to start "saying no if she doesn't want to do something, being able to tell someone if what they are doing is hurting her and getting them to stop", leads me to it one conclusion. That conclusion is that mike was abusing her and she couldn't tell her mom because she saw how happy her mom was with him. 😢
maybe but not necessarily. it doesn't need to be necessarily abuse, sometimes you just can't say no to your friends and family, and end up doing something against your will without them knowing. sometimes friends, family or peers say hurtful stuff that they don't realize is, in fact, hurtful, but you just can't tell them. it can be little things. but your conclusion is also plausible, seeing how much of a monster he was, with precedents in hitting loved ones
Love how people under here are like: "oh he killed the two women, the dogs, the child and has a life-long problem with abusing his partners, but no, that was a splendid guy; would never sexually abuse a child. No sir"
I was looking for a new and insightful way to enter my fifties in a year, and i just couldn’t figure out what and how to do it…Payton just gave me all the insight I need, and so for every personal victory, small or large, I will keep her in my heart and thank her for wisdom….may all of u rest in heavenly peace….

Sorry, but no one will rest in peace without Jesus. We are all sinners and have broken the commandments of a holy God, so we cannot go to heaven if we are without righteousness. But one is Jesus Christ died for our sins on the cross of Calvary and bore the sins of the world and received the wrath of God for all. He died and after three days rose from the dead bodily and went to heaven and will come again to judge the dead and the living. Believe and repent.

Never could I have imagined that a young girl by the name of Peyton would change my perspective on how I’m currently living my life. I’m soon to be 26 and what she voiced in the last video of her shown definitely hit hard because how she expressed her personal feelings at her age, is exactly how I feel at mine. As if im living for others and am too aware of what I can and cannot say or express about myself. Having my own opinions and being able to voice them without it escalating into something negative and failing to live in the now, instead worried about what’s to come in 20 years knowing tomorrow isn’t guaranteed.
Im so sorry this happened to her, her mom and cheryl. May they all rest in peace
Payton
Same bro. Especially the part where she says stop waiting for the right time
This was beautiful, I hope it's going well.
Yeah it hits hard, she really had the right idea and she never got to achieve anything in her vision. Cut short far too soon. I've never felt so affected by one of these videos before. We all need to do a little something today to honour her thoughts. RIP
Gave me chills down to my bones, so smart and inspiring ❤️
"Stop waiting for the right moment, there will never be a right moment"
Payton was so wise beyond her years and self aware and had so much clarity about who she was as a person and what she wanted to do.

It's called sociopathy. They have no empathy. And it's not like they're just pretending they don't feel bad about their actions and hurting others, they don't have the capacity or possess that emotion at all. You can't imagine being that way because you've always had it- you don't like to hurt people because it's mean, it's wrong and you know how it feels. Once you've felt it you always know it. But it's like they're born missing something, that capability to feel another's pain so it's just not a big deal to them.
Oh man, that ending actually got me emotional. She seemed like such an amazing person. I hope she's resting peacefully.
Well I wouldn't say resting peacefully more like rotting pieces because of maggots and fly's. Yes I am well aware that I'm just cruel and mean. Get over it reality is what it is.

Her saying all that at the end brought me to tears, she had no clue she was going to die, but still tried to live her life fuller than most people from what it sounds like
Okay, every murder case is sad, but something about this one is really a tearjerker... The way Nadja and Cheryl just wanted to be happy and have a nice, quiet life, and thought they had found it with Gerald. The fact that Payton came to call him "dad". And don't even get me started on him killing some of the animals too, like-- GOD I just feel so bad for them all, and for everyone close to them who Gerald also fooled.
To all the victims; may you rest in eternal peace...
@@TheAlmightyAss So it's ok by you if people randomly kill their pets? I don't eat meat btw.
@@TheAlmightyAss there's a difference between pets, whom you form connections to, to animals which you use to consume food. learn the difference weirdo.

@@TheFuckingVicious i never said anything about them being cute or not, read my comment again lols. there's a clear distinction, how do you not see it? pets are kept for the purpose of companionship, livestock is food. it's up to your perception, i'm not in a place to judge. i think farm animals are cute, but i still eat them, but who says i can't keep them as a pet? i've had pet chickens, but i still eat chicken.
i never said it was okay to kill the dogs, i was replying to someone who said it was.
this has nothing to do with an animal being "cute."
@@ACoffeeBubble You can eat whatever you want, it's your choice. But if you eat chickens, pigs and cows... Why not cats and dogs? What makes cats and/or dogs "superior" to other animals, to the point they're not seen as food? Is it a cultural thing? Cuteness? As you said, you can have pet chickens and eat them. So, why not dogs? Sounds a bit hypocritical, that's my point. I don't eat any meat, because all meat is the same. It's wrong to eat dead animals, IMO, but no animal's more important than other.
I am literally crying for the last part of this video. She did not deserve it, neither her mom and that poor woman.

Karma will get him🤬
@@LynnAgain83 I was thinking he'd do well somewhere like Alaska (he's educated enough on 'survival training' to have actually taught it to others), & being a pilot he could easily use a small passenger plane to get around the especially rural areas there. He's also less likely to be recognized (particularly if he chooses somewhere not densely populated or in constant contact with the outside world).
And even if he _was_ recognized, there are so many people who go to Alaska _specifically_ to escape their own pasts or live 'off the grid' that a lot of them consider it an unofficial 'rule' to stay out of others' business, even if that person is a fugitive.

If he’s really a pilot, and if he still flies, I can’t believe they haven’t caught him that way. At his age, to be a commercial pilot, he’s got to have physical exams quite regularly. The pilot community is VERY small and surely another airman would recognize him.

I worked with Mrs. Baker during her last year as an art teacher. She was so kind and wonderful, her loss was severe and soul-crushing in the community. And the manhunt that followed, in Southern Idaho and Northern Utah, for this man was so intense and shocking.

@@ScreamingDucksShotMyMother you can tell a lot about a person by their appearance,, there's a reason why the sins includes sloth gluttony greed,, and seriously that woman looks like she was guilty of that and so much more,, her character doesn't reveal a good person trying to pressure a dude you were casually dating into paying your bills is ridiculous,,,,,,, who's to say Peyton's father wanted to be a father or even knew he was a father she was probably just trying to extort him years ago as well, her and her daughter look like they didn't try very hard to take care of themselves or have any self-responsibility,, like seriously the woman dumped the old dude she was banging cuz he wouldn't pay her bills any more and you think she's of High character?
I know a lot of single mothers and to say that they are all victims is the biggest lie I could conceive of! some of them have genuinely been screwed over or abused, and some of them run around looking for ways to extort men because they don't think they have to work.
Not only was this woman Adept at extorting men but she was Raising her daughter alienated from her real father and craving a father so much that she was calling her mom's casual boyfriend dad,, or was her mother telling her to call him dad as a means to reel him in hence using her daughter in this extortion?? I'm 40 now but I can vividly remember being a teenage girl and anyone who calls a teenage girl innocent is delusional,, especially one who is training under her extortionist mother and participating in extortion and manipulating a man for her own ends...
They didn't exactly deserve to die but you get what's coming to you when you're being sinful and deceitful and selfish and horrible,, I feel sorry for the woman who married him and then had to pay for him and the women who were using him as sugar daddy....
Maybe I've just got my perception though because I'm a woman who has paid my bills my whole life and I know lots of single mothers who all have a different story, I'm sure I'd feel differently if I was a single mother by choice out there playing the role of the victim trying to get everybody to pay my way thinking that the world owes me something cuz I spread my legs and didn't get what I wanted, when you spread your legs you get a baby you don't get Financial Security, it's time women figured that out!

Her speech (bit at 35:15) really resonated with me, wish someone would've used those words when I was struggling with mental health and substance abuse..
That last video of Payton really breaks my heart, hearing her talk about her love of writing… I can imagine from just that video alone and the sorta pep talk and the artistic endeavors that she probably had her own trauma and psychological things that she was dealing with with like her deceased dad’s abuse towards her mom… Like it sounds like this was a family that was getting over what they thought was the worst and being particularly vulnerable and trusting Mike, only for it to have not been the case
Yeah I heard a pep talk not just for the audience too.
Exactly my thoughts 😢
Payton’s message in the end was well said and she seems lucid upon career taking and life in general. It’s dreadful to see how twisted and unthinkable an individual can be. Payton also seems well aware of what she wants and it’s saddening to see her final posts. So unfortunate: God bless them.
Right? While it's very inspiring for us to hear, it really didn't age well for her.
Yeah , if I had 5 minutes alone with that loser who killed her... It'd be one hell for that Mike loser who will get his karma cause it always comes back around. That POS.
She was a child , and had nothing to do with any of it. How could he? Over being found out that he was a dirty cheater?
That message at the end made me cry no lie she reminds me of my daughter so much and I deal with a rough divorce as of right now i see her but not as much as me an her as both used to an she honestly wants to live with me but hey it is what it is I gotta deal with life as it comes I guess but this message really hit me at the end life sometimes ain’t shit tbh
I said the same thing. these are things I only recently learned in my own life and I'm in my late 20s so for her to have already been that self aware at 14 is pretty remarkable. its sad she's gone bc of this d*ck head
@@Airemeldeif enough ppl are aware of her message and use it in their own life she can live on through everyone else that takes her advice to heart. Millions of ppl have seen this video
Payton’s message was and still is powerful. Rest in paradise sweet girl😞
this video hit me so much harder than any other case. peyton’s relationship with her mom is very similar to my relationship with my mom. i’m so grateful to not be the victim of a case like this.
I think the saddest thing about this case is not only the murders, but that the young girl had accepted him as her dad. How he could have brought himself to shoot the girl too is horrifying. Did he have no fondness for her? He was so resolved that she wasn’t worth it anymore? So sad.
psychopaths can fake fondness and create a bond but for them it’s a matter of a second to forget about it
He is pilot so he could have just left. I’m sure he knows some ways to get the heck outta there. He killed them for sure. No doubt about that. My sister is a sociopath and she is just like him. He would t have killed himself on purpose. He most likely feels they did him wrong in some way and it is “their” fault for what he “had” to do. Like when my sister tried to kill me. She though it was my fault she had to do it. Those people are not to be trusted. They are very smart people that use it for all of the wrong reasons. He left the county or he did something clever so no one will recognize him.
I agree with you 💯 they are very smart and sneeky this story and what you have told us about ur sister I'm sorry this happened to you glad you are okay
I agree.
If he's a pilot then he's long gone.
Agreed. As soon as he said they thought he might have killed himself i said "no, not this one". I doubt he even thought he had to kill these women, he just saw a problem and a solution that was easy. I doubt it was even a crime of passion. It was just the simplest way to clean up a small mess for him. Wherever he is, its unlikely he gives it any or much thought at all.
@@LouBloom21655 -More likely another woman lined up.
@@mommy2libras I wouldn't say that. They love to revel in their crimes and read about them. Maybe even return to the crime scene or visit their graves out of pure excitement.
The problem is we don't know if he's a psychopath or a sociopath, both differ in their reactions to people.
I also had a sociopath to deal with, but in class for 7 years. First 4 years in primary then 3 in gymnasium, when they still existed. Anyways, his sociopathic tendencies only started showing when I met him in gymnasium. He had lots of animals that were mistreated, he even once gave me his guinea pig he got from me to be her caretaker for the time being till he'll return from his 2 week Christmas vacations. If only I knew. At first there were no problems, I also had a guinea pig, and his was the leader, as mine was a scaredy cat. There was almost something unnatural about his guinea pig being so brave, she even tried to eat metalic Christmas decorations. Then one day we found her almost unresponsive. She died at the veterinary from hunger!!! Or at least I think she did, I don't kmow if she was euthanized or not. Turned out she lost her upper teeth!!! But how?! I witnessed him once throwing her up and down on his hands. This empathy lacking idiot must have done something to her, gave us her, and suddenly he goes on vacation on Christmass? I think he somehow wanted me to take the fall for it. I cried for that poor guinea pig, he never did. He had lots of animals, cats, dogs, a chinchilla. One of his cat escaped to never return (I don't blame him/her) and his dog was always trying to lick my and other guests private areas, we had to gently push away her face, but she was very forceful. His mother implied that's how they got her, weird considering she was doing it only to us when we were at his place. He must have put something good in his ungodly area so that the dog would lick it. I am today 100% sure that it was the case or very highly probable. He never showed tears after the loss of the guinea pig. In fact I don't recall him crying at all ever, he lacked empathy and was manipulative, but he was dumb, he could persuade only people as dumb as him.
I wouldn't want him to be my roommate, ever. I'd be dead somewhere in UK probably by now if he was.
Never heard of this one before - what an absolute monster. The clips of Payton really got to me - poor girl.
As an ExMormon, being a Mormon is a HUGE red flag. Just don't do it.
“We don’t have enough time in this world to just wait for the best moment” This is legit the part of what she said that got me the hardest, so young, such brilliance, a bright person with big dreams, how 😞
Oh Payton... I'm so sorry this world has such monsters in it. I don't know what kind of writing you did but I hope you're getting to live in one of your creations and that you get to inspire and live as you were hoping to do in this life. We'll try not to be sad you're gone but be happy you and people like you ever graced us with your presence.
Stop just stop. Your delusional ideals should stay far away from the internet.
Listening to Payton speak in her final video makes me so emotional. You can tell she was someone who only ever wished the best for others and loved her family and friends. She seems like she was really smart as well. I hope Gerald realised/realises what he took from this world. She could've been successful if she was alive right now. I hope she really did live everyday like it was her last so that she enjoyed them to their fullest in the short amount of time she had.
hearing payton talk at the end has me sobbing. what a beautiful soul. rest in peace sweet girl, you made your mark here and it will not be forgotten.
This video really creeped me out because this guy was in all the places Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie visited before Gabby's homicide.
Kylen Schulte and Crystal Turner were shot multiple times while camping in vicinity of Moab. What if this guy is the weirdo who was hanging around their campsite?
May all these beautiful ladies RIP.
Right ✅ he could be that serial killer.
Considering this was 4 years ago it's unlikely
@@brandyhuff8487 not really that unlikely. I can see it being a possibility 🤔
@@brandyhuff8487 It could be a stretch, but I think it's a possibility. What I found interesting is that the guy returned to his camp with additional clothes and food. On foot to my knowledge. The women told their friends he had a car but not what type. Where did he go to get the food and clothes? Perhaps there are other dead campers in that forest. Perhaps Brian Laundrie's biggest crime is panicking when he found Gabby's body - because of the incident on the 12th. I hope we do eventually find out what happened because this is a very confusing case and I am conflicted about whether he killed her or not.
@@marionfriedenthal7352 I'm leaning towards unlikely because of the 4 years of weather and winters, idk how much supposed survival skills he has but eh I guess yeah anything is possible
Man seeing the mom and daughter so joyful for their futures and how their lives were going is so tragic. When the daughter says in her Vlog that they’re on their way to Yellowstone and then she says “I’m really happy” that really got to me. It’s became so rare to see people happy or truly be happy enough with life to say that nowadays and then their lives were taken from them shortly after. Heart breaking 😔🙏🏼
I was holding it together until Payton said it’s best to live like you’re dying tomorrow instead of like you have 20 years to go. I wish she would have had at least 20 years left :( she was so so young. I can only hope that she was able to live her short life to the fullest with this wise philosophy. Rest easy, Payton, and paint your mom wherever you two may be should there be an afterlife. You two have become the galaxy now.
Payton, your wise words will continue to echo on. I am so blown away at that incredible young lady. What a honor to hear her advice. ❤😢
Seriously, that last clip hit heard. I feel like she was talking straight to me. This is terrible, but what a good message she had, that's something to live by. Thanks for showing that part, it's really important, you're keeping her memory alive.
What a brilliant young lady that was stolen from us all. I just turned 34 and I needed to hear what she had to say. Sleep in power Payton.
Thank you for the videos of Payton and her mother. The most frustrating part of many others who handle true crime cases is that they de-emphasize the victims and emphasize the life and "good" of the killers and perpetrators of violence. Victims deserve the voice that much more than the criminal, because in death, their voice is exactly what was stolen from them, while these killers often remain alive for decades to come, either uncaught, or allowed to live on state money and nothing but time for appeals and telling the world how hard their childhood was.
Give victims their voice back. Say their names, their histories, their passions and loves. They are the true focus of such cases.
“On Monday Japanese discovered 3 bodies”
lol I heard it japanese too
Me too
Honestly I’m a single mom and videos like this just makes me want to keep to myself and focus on taking care of child. This world is a crazy place, you can’t trust anyone.
I have to say Payton's words were exactly what I needed to hear right now. So big thank you to her. ❤️
Sincerely hope this man is found, he doesn't deserve to be living his life.
I don't know how to believe in anything anymore when there's so much tragedy lately. After listening to Peyton speak about living life, I want to stand strong like her, but I also just want to curl up in a ball and sob my eyes out for the next couple of hours. I hope whoever else out there that's struggling with this horrible state of continuous loss is doing ok and finding a way to heal in a healthy manner. Sending you a hug through the screen; love you ❤💕
Amazing words and feelings Gabriella. I'm old. I'll share with you what my long life has taught me. The correct choice is to STAND STRONG, but not on your own. Keep your relations with as many GOOD, TRUSTWORTHY family and friends as you can and share your life with that TRUSTED extended circle of yours. Time will prove to you whom they are. Use the strength, wisdom, healing and support that your extended circle offers. Don't trust any new person you meet until TIME, your due diligence and your EXTENDED CIRCLE verify that person is legit. Also, about the current state of continuous loss, just realize that the vast majority of people live normal lives and end up dying of old age lol. Be careful of course, but realize the news and internet are ways for people to make money and they show the dramatic and horrible side of life to get people to watch their shows so they can make money from commercials. Most of people's lives are not like that. Yes, fate could intervene in life at any moment, but you just can't let that stop you from living your life like you want. Build a strong life for yourself. Do it with others you trust. Be careful and wise and enjoy your life to the max.
Aww I've lost all my faith especially after my miscarriage and seeing how evil people prosper yet great people suffer. How sick and evil this world truly is just gotta stay positive and take it day by day. I need to learn to love myself and be okay by myself and maybe same self care. Make sure you take care of yourself, love yourself, remind yourself you come into this world only you are a miracle! Sending hugs your post gives me a little faith as you speak the truth and are very kind. 💜💯💯
Thanks for this comment. I’ve been dealing with continuous loss for a few years now and it wears on you. But I’m sure it will get better soon. Life is long. Hang in there
@@anamaakotube wow... so much wisdom in that, & i'll never forget your kind words ❤ I hope you're doing well and letting you know it's going a lot better over here 😊
@@hannah3146 you seem like such a beautiful soul! I have never been through a miscarriage, but I aspire to have children one day, and I'm so incredibly sorry you had to endure that pain. I know with your knowledge & wisdom paired with your past experiences, it's the caution when approaching the real world we're actually worried about. I hope you're doing so well; I'm finding myself doing a lot better & I hope you know how much your words really stuck with me for the last months when I couldn't reply. ❤ sending you another hug!
Payton is so insightful for being so young. Watching her last vlog is so heartbreaking but her words couldn't be more true, such a beautiful soul
not gonna lie this is even better then main channel content
I like this stuff so much better than the original exploring content wasn’t to keen on that
@@pinkdiamond345 definitely the best most professional tv quality narrator
I prefer true crime cases covered well more than interrogation. And the quality of this video is top notch. Tons of pics of the property and the family. Well researched. If these continue like this that chapter and ewu will reign supreme in the true crime yt genre.
@@YelløwKing666 you should watch JCS. Same narrator.
@@pinkdiamond345 try Jim Can't Swim ^^
Woops... Someone already said that sorry lol
What a monster! Can't believe what he did to this innocent women just because they found out.. unbelievable. Seeing there final posts just hits hard.
this channel has quickly become one of my favourite true crime channels! the narration is amazing and so easy to listen to. this is a voice that was made for narration!
It is truly heartbreaking to hear about Payton's story and the tragedy that ended her young life. Her video on RUclips is a poignant reminder of the importance of living life to the fullest and not taking any moment for granted. It's remarkable how such a young person could speak so powerfully and inspire so many with her words. Payton's legacy will undoubtedly continue to live on through the lives she touched and the message she shared.
I’m so glad y’all made this channel. For some reason watching interrogations makes me anxious, I just love the narration of it.
Me too. I don’t like that feeling.
the group of people that owns both these channels are so talented keep it up :)
THIS!!!!!
There is actually THREE EWU channels! Proudly subbed to all three 🤗💙
& I still don't understand who runs in cuz at first ewu was videos of a girl and her father I think hiking weird locations and stuff then all of a sudden it's all different content I mean I like it jus saying I'm confused.
@@L19966 yeaaah there ya go. So what happened to them ? That definitely ain't the fathers voice it never has been .
@@Amanda-bt1ur They stopped making those videos. They write the scripts and stuff and hire a narrator. They said they enjoy doing this content more.
I wish we could hear Payton talking to us today. She was such a beautiful, thoughtful, caring girl, she would have been an awesome woman. Rest well, Payton, Nadia and Cheryl, on the property you all cherished. This man's image is in my mind now, no matter what name he may be using.
Oh man, what a good kid, haven't cried like I did watching her talk about the importance of living your life to the fullest in a while
This is reminiscent of the story where a man shot his 3 children, wife and mother, cleaned the house of blood, left a letter with a confession for the priest and ran away. Then he started a new life under a new name, got married, hid for 20 years, until he was miraculously caught by the police. I think the personalities of these 2 men were somewhat similar, image was above all else for them.
John List, Westfield NJ. He was caught after a sketch on America's Most Wanted was so accurate that his neighbor called the police to let them know it was him.
If this guy is still out there he will be caught sooner or later but I honestly think he’s already dead.
I remember this story. One of the reasons I decided to go into Forensic Science
They are polar opposites in personality. Except for the murder part.
“On Monday Japanese discovered three bodies.”
That’s what I heard too
Ditto
Lol 😂
It wasn’t Japanese? What was it?
It really sounds like that's what he said.
Payton left a legacy of having hope on a daily bases. Seeing her last video, I hear her. I understand all those resolutions. And I receive everything she tried to live for. What a sweet girl she sounded like. What a cruel world we live in for people to take lives away like it’s nothing. Sweet girl and her mom, and the wife who also must have been heart broken learning the lies of her husband, i hope they can be remembered for who they were, and not the awful things this man did to them.
I tend to watch/listen to these videos while getting ready for work, and the portion of Payton’s advice made me stop in my tracks and fully listen. What a wonderful girl, I wish I could thank her for her words.
Those poor women. Beautiful Peyton seemed like such a pure soul. I hate that that evil bastard may still be out there.
"Not on RUclips you wont"
That giggle, the way they leaned into each other and the smiles. Yeah, just that clip alone hit hard. Thanks for sharing their kind moments. I went into this story thinking the wrong person to be the problem. I am floored.
It really does hit hard to hear Payton's words. She's so wise, and I appreciate us all being able to learn a reminder from her even now.
35:52 listening to Payton at the end really made me emotional. She’s so young, it just hits different. RIP to a kind soul wise beyond her years. 💔
Love these channels! The Ravens voice makes them even better! P.S. I live in Idaho about 20 miles from the house!
I live in Caldwell too. So sad. I hope they find him.
You and me both!
He's a narcissist, he didn't un-alive himself. I would like to know if he owns a plan and still has his pilot licence. Yet another who picked that National Forest to hide in. There were 2 females just murdered there. I wonder if there is a connection? I hope they catch this dude fast his character reminds me of Wayne Gacey in how he juggled life with out a worry.
Or the Dad from Step Father!! Find him!
What are the names of the women? Haven't heard of this
@@vantao9408 look up lesbian couple shot to death in Utah. It will come right up.
@@isleenclark thanks
and gabby petito
That young girl was truly a special one and he ended her life for selfish reasons. Her video encouraging us to live in the moment was so touching. Wish many more kids were like her. RIP beautiful.
A very loving mother who raised a very insightful young woman.. cut far too short by a monster. Absolutely heart breaking.
The victims don't deserve to be forgotten. It's a good thing their pages and channels still exist.
I live near Nampa, I remember when this happened....and my heart breaks for this little girl, her last video shared seriously gives me chills....she was going to be an amazing person one day. Hopefully her and her mother are together in the next life.
I live in this town. It was insane when it happened. The sheriff here believes suspect is likely dead by suicide.
I hope it’s true
@@brysonius I hope it's not. I hope he gets caught and spend the rest of his days alone and miserable in jail.
@@oAgL214 yeah agree. We have a similar case in my country and I'm also 💯 sure the guy just went abroad and living his best life. Those people don't go in the woods afterward to shoot themselves without an audience. He did this because he was cornered by these poor ladies not because he regretted anything
@@oAgL214 I wanna agree, but some pretty shitty people have killed themselves. Hitler, Elliot Rodgers, etc. Hopefully he isn’t living his best life! That would be so depressing
I think someone else owns the property now. I wonder if they would be open to have ghost "hunters" check out the shed.
(I'm also local to this community, and know where this house is.)
no one's advice has ever impacted me the way peyton's has. it's so devastating that she, her mother, and cheryl's lives were taken away. i can only imagine the incredible things the three of them could've and would've done if they were still here today. i hope they know they're missed :( ❤
I think to myself often "thanks Payton" as I'm remembering her advice.
Thats beautiful. I will try to do this as well to keep her memory strong and living on in our hearts. Because she more than deserves that much from the world and her fellow humans. Hope youre both doing amazingly ❤❤❤@@inheritmyshoes9559
This tragic story really pierced my heart and made me cry. I am a single mom with a little girl of my own. I feel so bad for the victims and the people who love them and knew them the most.
The mom never should have asked for money though...not only is that a red flag for not being married, but also due to the newness of the relationship. Just because he had a lot of money doesn't mean her as a girlfriend deserved it. Obviously she didn't deserve to die, but her asking for money could have been a trigger for what he did to her and her daughter, she should have just left him if it was all about the money for her anyway
You did such a good job on this video. Thank you for your efforts. I think you told this story well and didn’t make it overly dramatic which showed respect to the victims.
Listening to Payton that last part got me bad. That poor baby. 💔
I’m working, and crying. Shit 😔 gonna pull myself together damn’
Let's not make all about you lot..
The bystander effect is so brutal sometimes 😢... "I'm sure *someone else* will report or call the police". I was robbed in the middle of the day, along a busy road. No cars stopped, ppl crossed the street, WHILE I called for help. I could see them staring, though.. When I reported later on, cops said they hadn't received any calls re: my situation in that area or anything that day.
That honestly freaked me out, as they told me this happens often ~ to know how typical it is for ppl see/hear things, but thought things like; I'm sure it's a lovers quarrel, maybe they're friends arguing, they're just kids fooling around, I don't have the time to be a witness, etc..while I was being attacked by a stranger. Wtf right? I was a teen, then.
I'm much older now, but I forever can't help but wonder who is around.. who I can trust. I'm always super vigilant about my surroundings. For the safety of me, AND *others*. If you even think you see/hear something, it's better to be safe than sorry n report it ✌🏽 ❤. Stay safe everyone. Light n love
RIP Payton. You were a beautiful and intelligent young woman and I'm so sorry your precious, innocent life was cut short by this monster who had the audacity to call himself a father figure.
What's up EWU Crew? Thank you for bringing this style of content back!! The interrogation videos are top notch, but I'll always prefer this kind. Take care!
The video of Payton at the end really hit deep. She was such a sweet and happy girl and didn’t deserve anything that happened to her and her mom.
Man that speech from Payton was great, so sad that she didn’t get to live to see people thank her for those words.
land owners do not disappear. Hes dead also.
I can’t believe he looked those people in the eye and shot them dead. Hearing Peyton speak broke my heart, she had the mindset that changes the world and now she’s gone. There needs to be a real conversation on single mothers and potential “leachers”.
How do you know he looked them in the eye? Are you the actual killer or just assuming he looked them in the eye. You are very suspect now because of your statement.
@@heavensbeardedheathen6999 Ive had a gun pointed at me, they look you in the eye
@@heavensbeardedheathen6999 dude, go away.
Not defending the guy since obviously he did a horrible thing, but...don't you realise her mom was a leech as well? The commentator said that the mom expected him to pay her bills, which is a major red flag in a relationship. You don't just ask your boyfriend/girlfriend for tons of money, especially if the relationship isn't that old. That's something reserved for marriage...even if you don't believe in marriage it still is a red flag to ask for money regardless. Doesn't mean she deserves to die, because she did NOT deserve to die. But, she's not some pure person like everyone is trying to make her out to be
Payton talking to the camera is Heartbreaking. She was full of life and wanted to do so many things, not knowing she would ever do these things.
If one person decides to live their dreams as a result of Payton's message, then part of her vibrant spirit will be carried on into the future. Living on in us.
Payton, I already live my dreams as much as I can right now, but I'm going to look for ways I can do it even more because you deserved to be able to do it yourself, to write, to play guitar, and become a strong adult woman, and it's not fair you couldn't. And I'm so lucky to be alive.
That final video from Peyton brought me to honest to god tears. Life is cruel but she also reminded us how fulfilling it can be if we live it to the fullest.
Peyton mentions wanting to be able to tell people to stop hurting her and it makes me wonder what else might have been going on. 🥺
Hands down, you are the best crime storyteller! You also do a fantastic job researching and including all the video/ photo footage. You’ve gained a new lifetime subscriber! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 great job and keep it up!!!
Awe, Payton at the end 😢 ❤ how precious. Rest In Peace 3 lovely angels
Thank you for adding those videos at the end, tore at my heart strings
Her clips broke me. I'm a bit older and I can't be brave enough to write and speak up. I wasn't ready for that😭
That's an angel right there, rest easy💔
I don't know what else to say.
A+
Payton and Nadja captured in time. They’re so full of love and light. It’s so true…. The good die young. I’m listening Payton! I’m living my life! That’s a promise, baby. 💛
Payton saying she wants to start "saying no if she doesn't want to do something, being able to tell someone if what they are doing is hurting her and getting them to stop", leads me to it one conclusion. That conclusion is that mike was abusing her and she couldn't tell her mom because she saw how happy her mom was with him. 😢
maybe but not necessarily. it doesn't need to be necessarily abuse, sometimes you just can't say no to your friends and family, and end up doing something against your will without them knowing. sometimes friends, family or peers say hurtful stuff that they don't realize is, in fact, hurtful, but you just can't tell them. it can be little things. but your conclusion is also plausible, seeing how much of a monster he was, with precedents in hitting loved ones
nah
@@Ordep_Aviaras just.. nah.
I 💯 agree.
Love how people under here are like: "oh he killed the two women, the dogs, the child and has a life-long problem with abusing his partners, but no, that was a splendid guy; would never sexually abuse a child. No sir"
I was looking for a new and insightful way to enter my fifties in a year, and i just couldn’t figure out what and how to do it…Payton just gave me all the insight I need, and so for every personal victory, small or large, I will keep her in my heart and thank her for wisdom….may all of u rest in heavenly peace….
💜
