Hey you! Just wanna say a huge thank you for watching, the support this ole channel has been given is amazing, sincerely thank you. Hope you enjoy the videos to come! Florida and Canada will be back on the cards soon as always!
Thank you for your hard work and dedication to shedding light on these cases!
Thanks Mike, you are the best, we are lucky to have you ❤️
Mike, you're the best! Let's give it a Goo!🌳🌳
of course man! keep kicking ass.
but aw, cmon, broken arrow is a funny action shlock movie haha, travolta chewing the scenery is hilarious
also of course homeschooling is fucked, makes kids totallly not well adjusted, socially inept, and parents arent qualified to be teachers, especially since theyre usually bible thumpers so they wont have an unbiased education haha, sex ed is out the window, scientific realities ditched, just trying to insulate these kids for no reason
in this case that guy definitely had some issues you could tell in the video
why does the last sentence seem like a threat
Him luring his little siblings to open the door by pretending to be attacked for then to kill them, is the most inhumane thing I've ever heard 😢😢😢😢
I've seen this case on other shows before, and yeah that part really hits the heart strings the most. That poor kid, puts his trust and life in his brother's hands, and he gets murdered
this broke my heart
This made me sick
Yeah, wait until the inmates hear the story. lol
Agreed. They’re both sick AF. Such monsters.
One of the worst ones I've ever heard. The part where Michael was talking about how he was telling his siblings to let him in to help protect him just about destroyed me.
I'm an Oklahoman and remember when this happened. We were so shocked. It's just atrocious and I can't imagine what those poor babies went through.
It's so painful and so difficult for normal people, human beings like you and myself and most everyone we know to understand how anyone can do these things to anyone, let alone our family and loved ones?
They're obviously different and monstrous.
These poor babes .. 😔
I Me 2 They thought they were helping him and he stabs them that's more personal a stabbing.
You’re not Normal @@leemcr1894
Imagine being brutally attacked, stabbed multiple times, having your throat slashed, and still having the strength to get the attention of the police and tell them what happened. Crystal is a badass
She is the ultimate bad arse. I really hope that she's recognised as the real survivor she is.
She's a hero. She saves lives. Who knows how many more they would have killed
@@hollydickey15 To my understanding it was Daniel Who called the police, thus saving his sisters' lives
@@fawzifalih5019 thank u ..
@@CovidConQuitTheCensorship we know how many. They had planned to go on a killing spree in the town. They wanted to outdo the Columbine Shooting and rack up atleast 50 kills. Robert wanted ideally to hit 500 kills.
When 2 year old Autumn was left alive and unharmed, at first I took that as a sign these 2 weren't *complete* monsters and still had a shred of humanity in them. Then whoops nope turns out that was pure luck from the cops getting there fast, since they were going to decapitate her???? Words cannot explain how unfathomably evil they seem, especially after that
Hoping they experience hell on earth in prison. I'm glad Michael was charged as an adult. They should die in prison and hopefully soon.
That's not true their completely monsters, if the cops didn't show up when they did didn't you hear they were going to cut the baby's head off. Listen!
@@cindyrussell1581 that’s literately what he wrote 😂 You should maybe learn to read better
@@Raziel03 I didn't say that stupid
Demonic spirits influencing them.
This story is really tough to listen to. I noticed the hard swallows and disbelief from the investigator interviewing Michael. 😞
I think hearing that he was able to get his siblings to open the door for him cause he knew they would help if he was in trouble might be the worst thing I’ve ever heard from a family annihilation story.
So sick. Those poor kids!
It's pure evil. I don't know if there's a better word to describe how he preyed on the goodness and innocence of his siblings.
Yes! It’s heartbreaking.
Straight out of a horror film
@@ARISUinW0NDERLAND That's the only word for it.EVIL
The screwed up part is Michael “begging” and telling his hiding siblings to let him in so he could hide from Robert too. That’s so dirty and such a heartless act, I can’t imagine the feeling of being instantly betrayed trying to save your big brother.
its ok God will align his path with someone much more terrifying lol
@@realchilldude1271 😂😂 whatever helps you sleep at night big homie
@@realchilldude1271 well, unless they are Christians, right? Isn't that how it works? I don't know, doesn't really give me any comfort, but I hope that you are right, and there is some type of cosmic justice. Well, as long as it's fair
@@realchilldude1271 a terrifying path to a big skinhead with swastikas tattooed all over his body, who does push ups all day and is going to make little Michael his prison wife and share him with the Aryan Nation
Crystal is a snitch
“The police found them basically shitting themselves in a bush” lmao Mike you really are a treasure 😂😂😂
lol nobody can tell a story like Mike tells is...no matter how gruesome the premise! Bless his heart.
@@naomiledger1374 I agree ! No matter how dark the subject matter, mike has a way of lightening it up. He really is a blessing for us true crime buffs
Crystal is so brave for taking the stand. I hope her and her sister are well.
Same here
The fact that Michael was able to get into the locked bathroom by pleading with the two children inside who had locked themselves there by telling them Robert was trying to kill him, too, is one of the saddest and most chilling things about this to me. Here they are thinking they're rescuing their big brother, and just as they open the door to let him inside they see he's suited up with a knife just like the other one. The betrayal and level of fear they must have felt. That's just heartbreaking to me.
Oh my God yes, its absolutely unreal. Its also hard to believe one or both don't suffer some yet to be diagnosed disorders.
@@gandymancan3460 Of the two of them I strongly, emphatically believe that the older brother was the one who was truly fucked up. In Michael's case, he was I think the 2nd oldest and probably enjoyed a different kind of relationship with his older brother than his younger siblings. Even willing to do just about anything (apparently) for them. I think it was the older brother's idea and I do think he is almost certainly schizophrenic among other things. His interview wasn't ever even released most likely because it was shorter. He likely was just like "Yes, we did it. Why? We wanted to. Period."
Michael I think just got sucked into it, but left to his own devices and if the older brother either wasn't crazy or wasn't in the picture at all, I doubt Michael would have ever done something like this on his own. I could be wrong though. It was probably just pitched to him like "Hey, wanna do something fun?" and then Michael's like "Sure, like what?" and then of course he reveals his grand master plan, which involved more dead people after the family was taken care of first. Truly disturbing.
You have to remember as well, they were homeschooled. So it's like, they existed in their own little world almost, keeping almost entirely to themselves which I do think breeds a certain sense of sociopathy in certain individuals because they simply cannot relate to others, particularly strangers, as effectively as they might had they been sent to the public or private school system like most kids.
Right they wanted to save their brother but got killed instead . Ugh 😩 😭
Yes how could anyone do that?
Omg that's so sad 🙁
The fact that Michael had zero emotion. Not one tear while talking about his mother or siblings. The whole thing is incomprehensible.
Like he's an empty vessel filled with a demon...
He did have some "emotion" when he was talking about how he doesn't have a phone anymore.
Demonic possession
I want to preface by saying that I'm in ZERO way defending any of the actions of people like this, but I'm starting to think the whole "lack of emotion" thing is a bit of a red herring. Deliberately misleading and often used manipulatively.
I'm not implying any of that applies to you or had anything to do with your intentions.
I think by sentencing day, let's say anywhere between 6-18 months since the offence. That's anywhere between 180-540 days spent in a place that is hell on earth. Borderline impossible to describe, incomparable to anything you or anyone has as a frame of reference for and unless you (You being the offernder in this scenario) have been to jail before, is totally incomprehensible.
A place near specifically designed not only to break you psychologically. But also where you witness and live 24 hours a day, shows of emotion of any kind can literally cost people their lives.
Whether in a dorm with 100 others, 8 man, 4, 2 or permanently isolated for protection. You have spent more hours analysing second by second of the past, the decision, the lead up, atrocities committed and what followed than your lawyer has spent thinking about all his defendants combined. The only time you've had away from that environment Has been in court having every second deconstructed under a microscope, in the only place on par or perhaps even more inhospitable to shows of emotion than jail has been.
People have come and gone but you remain. The only fixture that isn't employed to be there.
Witnesses and jurors may have outbursts emotion, deservedly so, that comes and goes but by that time you are so desensitised and not only that but you HAVE to be composed. You've witnessed someone else come a cropper each and every time you've got on the bus to court as a direct result of a show of emotion by either the defendant or the judge and as for lack of emotion in police interviews, I would suggest that you already have had to practice supressing all emotion to get to the point of committing whatever act, followed by having to examine and come to terms with what you've done and waiting to be caught, then overwhelmed by the turn your life has now taken because of your choice.
I'm not arguing that there aren't nutters out there who are entirely incapable of emotion and are totally unhinged and detached from reality, but the more I think about it, the more I can't help but think, emotion shown under the circumstances seems potentially less healthy and more unnatural than it would be to (EDIT: 'fall apart. I meant to write stonewall and completely turn off emotion.
As explained, you'd be pretty good at by now.
And I would like to add, For all that you've witnessed, you also can't forget the number of times you did allow yourself to crack and fall to pieces and the entirety of everyone that witnessed it.
Think "peeing your pants at school" except your teacher carries a mini 14, your classmates are people you've witnessed or at least are aware have literally snuffed the life out of people superior to you in EVERY aspect that counts. Done so Potentially IN YOUR new home and bed and then gone back to eating or writing a letter to their mother, followed by extreme and violent carnal relations with their favourite unwilling participant.
(Probably a bit exaggerated for pre-trial, but would be in no way uncommon to experience in the 180-540 days post sentencing.)
I think their sentencing day photos reiterate my last point there with a poeticness the likes of which, I could only dream.
Do you think he chose that haircut?)
Does this make sense to anyone else and does anyone else see where I'm coming from or even agrees to an extent. It's just a thought.
@@Jay22222 It's a psychopath thing. If you haven't had any experience with them, it can be confusing. Though this does not make them inherently evil, they just have to to be curious enough to learn. Sadly this is what tends to happen to the "dumb" ones, no will to change.
The interview... That police man was brilliant. It must take a lot of determination, professionalism, and mental strenght to do that interview and keep the flow going. Being agreeable, understanding, talking like it is a casual and normal conversation, just because you want him to talk and know every little detail. He had a pause only when that monster casually answered that his 9 year old brother was not saying nothing while he was stabbing him, just, you know, screaming....
Yes, the policeman was visibly shaken. He showed more empathy than Michael.
He was playing the kid.
I haven't seen an interrogation vid with a cop that slick in awhile. Played that POS like a fiddle. No way I could have sat and listened to that monster detail his horrible acts and kept in together like that.
Agreed. He looked to me like he was struggling through some of that interview, as you would, but he did a sterling job. In fact, I notice that the police very often (though not always) seem to be able to project a very lighthearted kind of approach when interviewing monstrous types, very polite and friendly. I don't know how they keep their shit together, knowing what's just happened and what the scum across from them have just done. And with kids it would be so much harder. Credit to them.
that was the moment I could listen no further. so, ya the detective did a great job
this one shook me to the core. I can't deal with children getting hurt.
The cop looked like he was gna puke when Michael talked about stabbing his little brother… it’s gotta be hard dealing with that type of thing.
I took courses in policing and I had a professor who was the lead detective on a horrific case out of Toronto involving a very young girl being brutally murdered (Holly Jones) .. they caught the bastard who had done it( Michael briere) I asked him how he was able to interview him without wanting to strangle the life out of his body ..he told me that he did want to but you have to separate that emotion from the current situation. Let justice do the strangling. I csnt imagine how tough that would be .
Yeah, when he turned his face away, the look on his face said it all. Devastated
I thought the same thing! Evil Fucking Monsters!
He did a good job holding it together.
Cop prob just imagined the kid as black to regain his composure. It's in the training manual.
As horrifying as the brothers’ actions were, hearing that they were going to behead the 2 yo sister, gave me chills.
yep. i have a two year old and that just about did me in.
Me too. That poor family. Hope she never finds out. It's absolutely traumatic hearing about it let alone going through it. Hope those little girls are happy, it's good that they're together. Sending them love and good wishes ❤️🦋
All children are not a gift from God.
I had to stop when he said that. Wtf.
@@margaretdavis3858
I know. Absolutely chilling. Sadly they will find out. When they’re older, in 10 or 20 years time, maybe less, no one knows what the internet will look like exactly. But there will always be records such as this video and the many others, the books, news reports, the whole town will probably be remembered for this incident. I think it’s impossible for them to never find out, unfortunately.
This kind of murderer scares me the most. There isn't even necessarily malice. No real reason. Only a complete absence of any value for the lives of other people.
That's generally all psychopathic killings.
.... brought on by some extremely odd and negligent, weird parents. And a totally screwed up upbringing.
Could never understand how ppl can be that deranged. I can’t help but think what it must’ve been like to be 7 years old, locked in a bathroom while your family is being slaughtered and hearing your older brother banging on the door for help. Knowing you have to try and save him, only to realize hes trying to kill you too. The betrayal…unreal man. Truly a nightmare come to life.
"they also intended to behead the baby" Now i dont get shocked that often when hearing horrific details about how people die but that really made me recoil in horror.
i almost got sick. wasn’t ready for that. but who would be?
Truly awful
I paused mid chew
@@polaroidandroidjeff6383 Mid chew of a babies head?
You know, if you can do something so brutal, especially to vulnerable children, you should he tried as an adult and never be allowed free.
The younger kids thinking they were saving their older brother, only for him to stab them to death is just so heartbreaking and evil at the same time. I'm so glad the two surviving kids were kept together and I hope the older one can someday find peace. The trauma she went through is unimaginable.
I know right. One of the saddest cases I have seen. If you would like, I went to where it all happened if you want to see my video.
*Remember this video when they pass laws saying people under 18 can't be sentenced to life without parole. Do you think these two should have a chance at parole one day?*
@@jonslg240 hell no... they should ROT IN THERE
@@jonslg240 Micheal the younger has parole
If you watch the bald detective closely, you can see at certain points where he is struggling to maintain his composure (at least that's my interpretation). At some points he looks like he will break down, at others, he looks like he's in utter disbelief, and at others, he looks like he's in pain for the child sitting before him.
The man is so strong. I don't know how he got through that. I hope he's doing okay. What an interview to have to do.
Yes. And he may have been the (relatively) luckier one. Robert's interview was probably even worse.
The bald detective? Which one was he? Oh right. The only one visible.
They are trained for this, but it would still be difficult to deal with this level of evil.
@@E-BikingAdventures take it easy, baldy
The shot of Robert, covered in his mother's and siblings' blood, looking all excited, pumped up and happy did my head in. Horrible.
And here's Robert sitting in court on trial for murdering his entire family, laughing with his brother like its any other day. What a monster
they are not monsters they are Bever brothers, awful evil incarnate.
They had a few moments to catchup.
Imagine having children only to die by their hands... tragic...
Sickening stuff
They represents the devil's himself..
Plain and simple
me: at least they spared the 2 year-old and crystal managed to survive
mike: they also intended to behead the baby but the police arrived
me: ..........
Right?? How could the most innocent family member be given the worst fate?? Or ALMOST given I should say...thank God for the police(did I really just say that??).
@@LIKETHESTREAM Thank you! Everyone yelling we want right's, we want to be seen as equals than bash the police! There are rotten ppl in every group, just because they wear a uniform does not make them all the same! Wait till one of the police haters need one!
@@LIKETHESTREAM WTF does Twitter have to do with anything?!? You’re being a touch dramatic with the police defense aren’t you? She literally said “thank god for the police” first. That you consider her questioning a blanket praise of police on a holy level (Thank God) to be police bashing is utterly ridiculous! Just as many other people have done, many police officers have committed atrocious crimes against humanity because they believed themselves to not only be above the law but to be the law itself! Judge, jury and executioner! That is not to say that good cops don’t exist. But there is a wariness that also exists. A downright fear that was created by cops that thrive on the power of control and the power of hate. They are the ones you should be looking at and blaming for a loss of trust. Taking a benign statement and turning it into a “bashing” statement only makes you a big part of the problem. There is NO group in society, not even cops, in which evil does not exist somewhere. Pretending that cops have all been right in their actions is only dividing us further. Your attitude is the same one held by most members of the catholic church in regards to priests! That attitude of denial is why thousands of children were/are assaulted sexually by the priests! No one wants to accept that positions of trust attract some of the most evil that humanity has to offer! We have to stop the denial so that the many cops who are fucking heroes can get the honor and recognition they deserve without being tainted by the shitty ones.
@@jennifergarcia3852 You can hate on the police all you want but if you had to lock yourself in a bathroom while hearing the footsteps of intruders in your home, you'd pray with ALL your might that the cops would get there soon.
They actually forgot...
These two are prime candidates for a long-term study on the effects of putting people in solitary confinement from the age of 18 until their natural death.
Yeah and minimal stimulation let the thought of what they did be the only thing on their mind. Let them go mad with reflection on their actions.
The detective interrogating Michael occasionally glances at his partner with looks of pure disbelief on his face. This one had to hurt, not just for him and the other officers, but for the whole community.
I read this detective is actually on a gang task force. They pulled him in that night for this interrogation because of his experience with young people, the thought being he could get what they needed out of Michael. I think they thought right. He was excellent.
He did a great job getting down to his level and encouraging him to spill the details.
Agreed. He even made the comment about Michael not having a cell phone anymore. That's on the teens level. Hes very good at what he does
Amazing, he is so good in this interview.
Agreed, and I felt empathy for him, you could tell he was disturbed by what he was hearing, for obvious reasons.
He also used to star in the Wire.
Crystal saved a bunch of people from getting killed. She’s so brave. I hope she’s doing ok with her little sister.
I dont think she lived? Did she? I kept rewinding it , i couldnt make out if he said she wouldnt or would survive? Cause right before that he said the only survivor was the 2 yr old. I hope she is alive. Too bad nobody paid attention to what she was saying .. They didn't take it seriously.
@@skywalker79sith She survived and she was adopted with the 2 year old by the family
@@skywalker79sith I understand, it’s quite difficult to make out .he said ‘the only person alive and uninjured’ was the baby. Crystal survived but was injured.
@@John_Smith5 I’m so glad they were adopted together
Also Daniel the brother who called the police. Michael heard him on the phone amd you can unfortunately hear Daniel scream for help and Michael picks up the phone and says "Hello?" Before hanging up.
That oldest one is terrifying, his eyes scare the bejesus out of me
The fact that he took advantage of the blind trust of his younger siblings to let him in really breaks my heart.
It’s just so sad that 3 of the children could’ve survived if they had stayed in their bathrooms a little longer. But they were trusting and brave and pure. 😭
Brakes my heart that they trusted they would be safe. Truelly evil.
Two were in the bathroom. The 7 and 5 year old (Chris and Victoria). The 12 year old (Daniel) was in the dad's office calling 911. Michael used the the same method to gain entry to both rooms. He is truly a cold manipulative psychopathic monster. They both are.
@@heatherhiggins2002 if you notice there are certain parts of the interview where he can't help but smirk because he's proud of what he did. He was reliving it in his head and enjoying it
They died because they loved their brother. Absolutely gut wrenching.
The part about his siblings letting him in to try and save him might be the worst thing I’ve ever heard out of all of these cases. Actually made me cry, those poor babies omg.
Yes , it did me as well. I have 4 grandkids that age. I get upset when they fall and hurt their knee or something. I can't imagine... dont want to imagine a scene like that. Often we get a mental picture of the stories we hear. I'm forcing myself to not get one with this. This is worse than any horror movie plot I've ever seen.
So trusting, in desperate need of their older brother to protect them because parents are gone.. and they shatter that trust in the worst possible way.. they must have been terrified
@@tmcmillan45 it’s also the fact they were so full of love for him, that they tried to save him even though they were afraid. That their heroic actions were in vein, they were so young yet so brave and full of love they wanted to save him and he killed them for it. Those sweet and innocent babies. I hope both these monsters rot for what they’ve done.
That was the worst part, I think.
What’s his RUclips channel?
14:40 "Who else were you gonna kill?"
"Oh just hit up gas stations.. restaurants."
This is the town I grew up in. I still live here. In 2015, any of those "gas stations and restaurants" they were planning to shoot up, could've been me. I've been watching 911 documentaries for hours but this one is hitting WAY too close to home
Exactly the same for me. If the younger brother didn’t call 911 there could have been so many more deaths.
when asked to describe his feelings about murdering his 9 yo brother, he can only find the word "pointless". Although his affect was (somewhat) convincing his inability to find a word to describe emotion is telling. Michael is a true sociopath,
Daniel's second last act of calling 911 likely saved countless lives given their plans to go on a shooting spree. Then his last act was letting his brother inside, thinking he was saving him despite the danger to himself. Words can't even express how heartbreaking that is...
poor kid , he was only 12 and was a hero , rest in peace
Those poor parents and wee ones , how devastating. Prayers to the survivors. God bless.
Jesus christ I cannot imagine that bald detective dude going home and dealing with this. Fucking hell, that's just, pffft... fucking hell.
He really looks like he´s about to either puke his guts out or punch the living daylights out of the Bever kid. Kudos to him for the constraint!
Seriously, hats off to this guy and every other detective that has to go through this kind of shit. I couldn't do it.
It's his job. He probably hears a lot of messed up stuff. If he lost sleep every time something bad happened, he wouldn't last in that job.
I'm sure it affects him. He's human. Guarantee it. You can tell he isn't devoid of empathy by his anger after he comes back into the interrogation
When I was working as a correctional deputy, there were days/nights where I got off work and couldn’t even explain what I just dealt with for the past 12-16 hours. I’ve had to process the suspects when they were brought to the jail, and I’ve heard first hand and saw pics/videos of the crime scenes. DUI suspects who caused fatalities were probably the worst. We couldn’t tell they anything while they were still in “sobering”. Due to legal reasons, we couldn’t book them until they cleared sobering with a breathalyzer (.08 or lower) and medical (not all dui’s are alcohol related). Most started figuring out what happened the more sober they became.
This could make it difficult to process them because the suspects would sometimes start crying and wailing uncontrollably or become violent towards the deputies and technicians. Fortunately the jail I worked at had four single booking rooms with reinforced windows, so the techs didn’t have the threat of physical harm. They did however have to deal with screaming, crying, smells, and the occasional jack-hole trying to spit through the small pass-thru for paperwork.
I was medically retired out in 2013 after five years due to injuries from fighting with an inmate, and there are still stories that I’ve never told anyone. People say I’m just making stuff up because they can’t comprehend what goes on inside those walls.
OMFG. That officer with Michael is fucking amazing. The way he talks all casual with Michael. I hope the officer has good mental support after cases like this. The officer is a total hero for his acting abilities.
That detective interviewing the younger brother has awesome interview skills.
He is so calm, and he acts like he is totally understanding to the boy, in order to draw out more information.
I'm glad they didn't release the main brother's video interview, that narcissist doesn't deserve the exposure he craves
good point
I'm sorry to say that this whole video plays right into his hunger for fame, though. I wish Mike had skipped this one. Law enforcement keeps asking true crime fans to stop giving attention to these mass killers, even asking the press to withhold their names so would-be killers can see that they won't be stars.
@@Tracymmo fame? Naaah infamy more like. Tbf, they were completely incompetent in terms of achieving their actual goal. All they will be remembered for is being complete and utter wreckheads and failing on almost every level at the game of life. Can't even say they were skilled at being monsters. They killed the people closest to them who trusted them 100% and also those younger and helpless. Great. Nice one. That puts them up there with the worst of the worst right? Nah not at all. In fact, it puts them in the gutter of the serial killer ranking list. Smh. Morons.
Except this attention isn't what they want. Being made out to be what they are rather than what they imagine themselves to be.
Massive respect for that brave 13 year old girl, Crystal. She's truly a hero and a survivor. I know she's going to need years of therapy for what was done to her, for the horrific things she experienced that night, but I hope she can take solace in knowing she saved herself and she saved her baby sister.
She saved everyone who would have been on their road trip of murder.
She saved many people. Her will to live is inspiring.
How so? It was the 9 year old locked in the bathroom that called 9-1-1.
@@lailadawn8122 yeah, your right...she should be named the hero of this nightmare.
More like a lifetime of therapy. I wonder how those people deal with forming relationships with people after going through something like that by the hands of their siblings
rest in peace david , april , christoper, daniel and victoria . Daniel and crystal risked there life by opening the door and daniel lost his . Daniel saved many lives by calling the police including his two sisters. poor kids they were so young
Huh
Watching that interviewer almost cry was heartbreaking 💔
Tricking his own family to “save him” has got to be one of the most psychotic and evil things I’ve ever seen. He also clearly had zero remorse, which was ominous and creepy.
He did act kind of bummed his cell phone was destroyed, though. That poor detective, having to play along with this little psychopath that the loss of the cell phone was even an issue compared to the massacre of tiny children.
@Charles Lee True, didn't they say he tried to commit suicide?
@@Kaiji... no, that was his brother
@@chelseafcrocks82 Ok, I guess he really didn't care after all then
The dudes were some creepy idiots but your profile pic is even creepier.
This one hit me hard.. the thought of him luring his younger siblings out to kill them is just gutwrenching.
That's a different level of evil.
I heard the entire 911 call of one of their younger brothers on monsters and it was gutwrenching. The dispatcher asked and asked away and the little boy didn't want to be heard. He only wanted to live, but she went on and on until Michael lured him out of the closet or room where he was hiding. It was so heartbreaking and the dispatcher made a BIG mistake by asking her questions over and over again. That's why Michael heard his voice. Awful. Hopefully she can live with herself. He got stabbed and it was horrendous to hear that.
@@SandraBrownEyes
Wooowww. I had no idea. That was the first time that I’ve heard about that aspect of the story. That indeed has pissed me off in the past as well with 911 dispatchers who refused to take a hit to stfu!
I’m sorry I couldn’t stay that calm during the interview so props to the investigator.
So this guy has a Patreon right? I feel like I'm stealing by binge watching this high quality content. I must pay for this man's work.
Somebody's gotta do it. Ain't gonna be me tho.
I don't think he can record RUclips videos from the big house.
@@jumpinjohnnyruss he's talking about Mike......🤦♀️ geezz dude
He also has an Onlyfans
He does. Posts a day early, and sometimes does a Live.
Two dollars.
Mike wants your two dollars.
Tricking his siblings like that makes me sick. Even worse is what they had planned on doing to that little baby. Evil evil boys.
That's the part that really got to me the most, I'm normally desensitised to all this, but this case with these two sick fucks really got under my skin. Tricking your kid sibling who trusted you who wanted to save you because they thought you needed their help. Argh man I don't wanna wish torture on anyone but these two I wish it for them
I can barely understand a word of his police interrogation, weird accent and mumbling annunciation, low mumbling in general. Anyone have a transcript?
We are all born evil. It’s just some of us don’t act it out. But we all have it in us.
@@egregiousqueef7781 Same bro, couldn't understand a freaking word the little prick was saying!
@@JustanotherLiz that’s an opinion & a theory, not factual.
I can't handle the way he was smiling after murdering 5 members of his family.
With blood all over him!! Horrific!
Yeh right, so hot 🤤
I'm not a violent person but I really wanted to punch the fucker after seeing that, evil bastards
Some circumstances call for a lobotomy...this is one of those...x2!
yeah he looks like he was the victim of his father's abuse, not!
I heard of this slaughter. The Family name is actually the same as mine, just a different spelling. I am the 8th of 11 children of an extremely religious family. This could have been my family. This story was devastating to me. We escaped this simply because my violent oldest brothers were drafted into the Vietnam War.
so sad...no one deserves death like this
A neighbor adopted the dog. She says the dog still has a lot of trauma and shakes uncontrollably when it hears load noises. Poor thing 😢
Omg. I thought it couldn't get worse... poor dog.
this is the brothers fault
While I do feel bad for the dog I feel like it’s distasteful to act like this is on par with everything else.
Wow. Poor dog. Righhhtttt 😮
That officer's face when he said his 5 year old brother was screaming...he was trying to hold it together. )=
A lot of mad respect for those mothers and fathers that are detectives and have to hold it together during these sorts of interviews with monsters like this.
You have to emotions of steel to have to be the one who uncovers dead children’s bodies and hear how they die.
You have to disconnect from the reality of things and put an emotional barrier between you and the facts, between you and the murderer...otherwise it’s just impossibile
We can only speculate as to how horrifying Robert's interview must be in comparison to Michael's. Robert was cleary happy and excited by the atrocity he committed. Michael was more disconnected and reserved.
I think the younger was in shock when they got detained, but the older looks in total delight, crazy eyes.
This is so saddening and disgusting. As a homeschooled person , I've met secluded homeschoolers. But they become obsessed with art or music. Not mass murder.
I grew up in Broken Arrow, the survivors are doing well with their new family. Pretty sure the girls changed their names.
that's really good to hear, to be honest.
Yeah sad part is her real family didn't want her so she got adopted. I'm pretty sure it was the city that burnt the house down too... I grew up in Foyil but have family in broken arrow who said the fire started and the fire department took their time putting it out
@@fauxking313 it was originally planned to be taken down even before the fire began.
Good to hear..
I grew up at Broken Arrow, *NEVER* herd of u.
Massive respect to the Detective in the interrogation room trying his best to speak normally to that kid. Like his face broke at the shit he was saying and from all the true crime, 48 hours, and criminal psychology ive watched thats hard to do.
"You seem like a good kid"
Seeing the detective choke up multiple times was a hard watch.
@@Scorch428 It’s an interrogation tactic.
@@lisayork2624 anything can be an interrogation tactic but not everything is. Interrogators are people too
@@annaolsen2879 I was replying to the guy who quoted the officer as saying “You seem like a good kid”. They want the perps to think they’re on their side in order to get them to open up and talk more.
I have 2 sons that are law enforcement so I know they’re people too and what they have to deal with from the public.
I just watched a two-hour psychological breakdown of this case and I somehow learned SO MUCH MORE from this video.
Where was that if you can remember
They were isolated and cut off from society. They said the kids were home schooled, but i dont think much home schooling actually went on. I saw the written statement from the 16 year old brother after the murders took place and it looked like a five year old wrote it, except twice as messy and chaotic. I think the parents just left the boys glued to the internet 24/7. The internet was their best friend, their teacher, their parent, their whole existence. Even now, in jail, the oldest brother says he's happy because he has one room with everything in it that he needs. He says that is all he wanted in life to be content. Those two brothers have no idea about the outside world. DIdn't help being trapped with a load of other kids, a passive disinterested Mother and a weird, controlling, sometimes aggressive Dad. Who knows... Maybe things would have turned out totally different if the kids had been allowed to go to school, make friends and engage with the outside world. Or maybe things would have turned out even worse.
I wondered how Mom, married at 15, would be capable of home schooling all those kids. Did she finish high school? How much of an education did she get?
the way Robert's smiling on the arrest photo just shows how much of a psycho he is, this case is heartbreaking
Those photos are in color as well as in other angles and it’s even more disturbing because his cheek is red with his family’s blood.
They should get him in prison with adult psychopath and serial killers and rapist ..they will learn him a true lessons
yah the pics are disgusting...theres tissue/brain matter blood and scratch marks from when they killed the family all over them and robert is smiling
absolutely sickening
If you ever wondered what pure evil and madness looked like, now you know. Absolutely horrifying and haunting.
This was a little more horrific than I dressed up for originally
Lol

Ahahaha best comment 🤣
I was having dinner. Now I don’t feel so well 😫
@@disappointedinallofyou1680 Look at your name. Why were you expecting us to be better?
most disturbing case i have ever watched. I have watched almost every major serial killings, spree killing documents. But this one will haunt me for years to come
I feel the same way. I regret even watching it, honestly. By far the most disturbing case I’ve seen.
You and Coffehouse Crime couldn’t be more different in terms of talking about the crimes, but you are both perfectly awesome… Thanks for being around
def two of my fave reporters/storytellers of this type of subjects.
yes I agree. I found cofeehouse crime first and then this channel was recommended and both are good and unique in their own different ways. This video is probably one of the most heartbreaking among all the crimes ive watched. Kudos to Mike
Yeah; I consider Mike the very best, however it would be fair to give Adrian fom Coffeehouse serious credits as well. And let's not forget MrBallen. Keep on goooooing, all the tree of you! I luw, that you are so different from each other. Greetings from 🇪🇪 !
I recommend Danielle Kirsty as another Brit, she’s different again, as she tries to go into more detail so her vids are longer. (Warning though she puts makeup on as she talks to keep her hands busy, I know some don’t like that, which is why I’ve put it as a warning lol)
"He's got a pair of Manson lamps on him." - Mike. All Time line right there.
It's an expression from the Sopranos ;P

that’s the greatest line in history.
He did, too. Those eyes were just dead.
@@mlee40738 are you blind? Those eyes were very much alive... But there was a lot of crazy in them.
I could only imagine what that 13 year old has to go through after living through something like this...and the 2 year old not even being able to get to know her family. God this is just an awful case all around.
After this one, James, you need a new photo!

It made me glad to hear she was adopted with her 2 y.o sister. While in any situation siblings staying together is important but in this case, at the very least, I hope she knows she saved that baby's life
@@AxelSpott But I'm not telling people they need new photos.
I have lived in a few "BIG religious family" homes as a foster kid. It was always abusive and oppressive and VERY suppressive.
This is one of the most tragic TC episodes I have ever seen.
That poor, poor family. Thinking of their last moments is so heart breaking.
These kind of stories are so heartbreaking. The younger children's trust were used against them. Daniel saved two of his siblings with that quick call to 911, makes me cry thinking about the pain those kids went through. I hope those two have a horrible time in prison.
It's just horrifying. It literally makes me sick. Those poor children. The fear, the confusion. I'm sure their brains couldn't make ANY sense of what the hell was happening. Good God almighty, the pure evil.
pure evil
Daniel's a hero. He was murdered too, but at least he saved Crystal and Autumn (from beheading!), and dozens of others who the two might have encountered on their planned "crime spree".
I'm going to be haunted forever about how the little ones were tricked. He used their innocence and goodness against them. I can't even stand the thought. Bless their beautiful little souls
Same here...that's the worst part of this all for me. Everything else is beyond awful and terrifying, but being tricked by your brother to leave a safer place, only to be stabbed by him and another brother...it breaks my heart.
Only Angels get to witness such evil events, we get to hear about it....but that's not the same as seeing thus type of evil !
Agree. So heartbreaking.
Agreed! I also agree with another comment that said that trickery "destroyed me". Me too. I also will be haunted by this forever. :(
Thank you for articulating that so beautifully. There is some monsters in the world, then there are angels like you who feel compassion so deeply. That in itself is healing.
I never noticed it, but you helped me get through hard times when I was depressed and had no motivation to do anything. I appreciate you a lot for getting me through those times. Thank you sm!
Hands down the most disturbing story I've ever heard. Think I might be taking a break from true crime stories. Watch some adorable kitten videos for a week or two.
"How do you feel about what you've done?"
"I didn't like it."
(Can sense policeman mentally picking kid up and smashing him through wall)
Well, he can clearly be let go then, he didn't like it so he won't do it again. Problem solved.
Yep, you got it
Facts.
All fun and games until you get tried as an adult in his eyes
@@ivanaz6105 That was exactly my thought too. Of all the possible answers after he had killed his siblings and helped kill his mother. Apparently he never spent 1 minute daydreaming about what it would be like. Even that seems very strange to me.
That cop who interrogated Michael was amazing. You could see he was struggling to hold it together but he knew he had a job to do. Respect.
Agree totally
Hey Mike, would you please put subtitles on when the accused are being interrogated? It can be very hard to hear or understand what they are saying. I freaking love your videos! You are by far the best RUclipsr out there, in my opinion, just wanted to ask if you could do that one small thing. Thanks for being so awesome 😎 and all your work making these incredible videos!!!!👍😁😄😃😀
Captions are not bad.
I put the RUclips subtitles on during interrogations.
The closed captions sometimes help, but much of the time they are hilariously wrong.
@@laurenc5652 I'm deaf I rely on subtitles but YT subtitles are not always spot on which is annoying.
@@Gazzi79 that's understandable. I've seen that happen too where they arent correct.
I love ya too Mike!!! Even though u bring us stories of 'the darkest side' of humanity, u do it in a way NO-ONE ELSE on this earth EVER could. You bring every story to life and in ways that no-one else can. 💌 I can't go a day without hearing...... "Let's give it a goo" lol. 🤗💜 From me over in the UK......... I just luv ya!! ♥️🥰💟
It breaks my heart to know that so much could have been prevented if only the parents had listened to Crystal. She knew something was wrong and she wasn’t believed. I pray her and her little sister can find healing from the deep trauma they’ve experienced, I’m so glad to know that they are together through this.
Well I am glad Crystal at least survived the attack along with several of her siblings. It is too bad that any of the children died. The parents should have done a lot of things very differently. The whole thing could have been prevented.
@@NikkiC777 Somehow I don’t think Crystal is thrilled that her two older brothers survived when she was also carved up like a human brisket.
This was a hard one to get through. Breaks my heart that he lured the kids out of the bathroom. It’s so disturbing
Psychologist can’t find a diagnosis for them.
it’s called pure evil.
Obsessed with school shootings when they've never been to public school...that's a weird level of Obsession.
i can’t believe they could do that to christopher and victoria. they were so young, innocent. fucking monsters man
It's the most shocking case Mike has ever covered - I had to stop for ten minutes to compose myself.
Heck, they planned to behead the baby, she was saved only by damn luck that the police arrived just in time for her to still be alive today... the moment he said that i felt my heart drop, just imagining them being just one second too late...
@@ianmacfarlane1241 not even close imo but its pretty bad. Israel Keyes is up there
That's their opinion, I agree.
How are these freak demon MF getting through without any signs of this .it is not possible evil of this magnitude there are always signs. People need to start getting their kids help instead of just letting this bs go thinking they will grow out of it
I heard about this case recently from Criminally Listed, and even with Mike's jovial delivery, Michael basically pleading with his little siblings to let him in only to murder them shortly after is psychologically horrific, sounds like it's straight outta a horror movie-
I was wondering who else I heard this from. Criminally Listed is it!
I believe I heard it there or “Monsters” a few days ago.
with brothers like that how could you trust anyone anymore after this,💔 they just absolutely stomped on what it means to be a sibling of someone...
This took place no further than a half mile from where I lived in BA I remember hearing the sirens that night. Puts chills down my spine seeing that kid and what he did to his family.
I've been binging out on you all weekend. Thank you for being you! ❤

It makes Ron DeFeo of The Amityville Horror case seem almost tame by comparison.
Not a contest anyone wants to win.

Not many make me tear up. This one did!
Have seen this story from a different source but had to watch and listen to you tell it. Love your storytelling.
Is it just me or is anyone else rewatching these videos just because they just can't get enough of them..... Or am I just strange!? I really think Mike was meant for this! By far the best true crime series on the internet!!! Thank you Mike keep up the great work!!!🔥💀🔥💀🔥💀
The way that you never ask us to like and subscribe like other RUclipsrs, but just tell us to take care of ourselves 🤧 i love you Mike

@@damien1781 Go back to loserville Carl.
We get high at that park 🏞️ one day i was so spun out on meth i stayed there all night watching porn and getting high and all of a sudden almost morning 🌅 i heard No Don't and i heard some one say please Robert
Great job explaining the whole story from start to finish. And didn't take forever to explain things under thirty mins good job. I didn't have to watch an hours long crime show like 20/20 to get the details of this horrific crime.
After watching loads of Mike's videos, this one was without question the most disturbing to me and made me feel pretty uncomfortable. That photo of Robert after he was detained by the police on that evening, still covered in blood, was horrifying. His eyes were wild and the excitement and adrenaline was evident in his face. How does a human being, and one so young, malfunction so very badly?? I think the worst of this video for me was when it was revealed that the boys planned to cut off their baby sister's head but didn't get the chance. Everything about this horrific incident was wrong in so many ways it makes me fearful for the future. I know there's always been some nutters in the mix, but numbers seem to be on the increase and sadly I don't think it's simply a perspective due to increased media coverage. I think it's genuine statistics which begs the question - what the hell is happening to our society??
Yeah about the idea of beheading the baby, I thought they didn't because they didn't want to kill 'a baby', but then ahhh it was because the police arrived. Oh god.
You are so right. How many young people idolized the killers from Columbine and other serial killers. How do parents get to see the signs before it's to late? Didn't they talk to other friends even on the internet? All in all it's very sad that this kids decided to do the most evil act imaginable. Michael is very cold-blooded and gets life with parole. I guess he still knows how to manipulate. I hope they never let him out. Robert got 5 life sentences with no parole. Michael should have gotten the same.
@@mariamacias4435 Did I hear wrong? I thought Michael got no parole as well.
@@peternolan4107 heard right Michael is great manipulator. He got life with parole but if families or lawyer for the victums go to parole hearings and try and stop the parole it can be denied.
How do you adopt kids that were betrayed by their own blood? How do you communicate that your love is forever? That must be the hardest job in the world and these adoptive parents are heroes
Absolutely, trauma changes you forever. I hope they are getting all the unconditional love they deserve and then some.
I’m very glad they were adopted together, that will be a huge help in their healing journey.
The authorities better fucking check up on those kids every week.
@@SessVlogs is it even legal in US to separate siblings when adopting? It absolutely isn't where I'm from.
@@Alex-mc5yn I don’t know about the US, but here in the UK they can be separated. It’s HUGELY discouraged though, the adoption agency will always encourage you to adopt the entire sibling group if you’re interested in adopting one of them, especially if there’s trauma involved.
Mad props to Crystal for having the courage to take the stand against her brother. Her brother who had attacked her and murdered the rest of her family.
I live in Broken Arrow just a mile or so from where this happened. When I was younger I would ride my bike to their neighborhood to play with friends. Their parents wouldn't let them leave the house at all. Like not even in their own backyard if there were other Children nearby! The Dad gave off creepy vibes when we would see him outside mowing his yard. Not saying they deserved what happened to them but they sequestered their kids from society so much it's no wonder they turned Ferral and killed everyone.
My exact thoughts. This had roots. More people saying here that they didn't let the kids out at all.
I wouldn’t say the sequestering is why. Apparently the father was somewhat abusive. Still doesn’t excuse that these 2 men were sociopaths. Wanting to behead the 2 year old before the police got there is just a sign
Thank you for another well done video. _I'd be lyin if I said I truly enjoyed it_ ... But I am glad you covered it. I imagine it wasn't an easy one to do - it's a heartbreaking story.
Officer: "You seem like a really good kid."
The lie detector down the hall: KA-BOOM!!
police using psychology. The policeman seemed pretty shattered.
Smart man. He was making him feel comfortable so he would talk without a lawyer present.
@@scathatch dude, you’re spot on. In one of the first clips with this bald-headed Cop-Einstein, his body language speaks *volumes* about this man’s willpower and wit. In this clip, he gets a taste of the unadulterated HORROR that is about to be described to him, in detail. He then lets out an awkward, guttural noise - like he’s “clearing his throat”. From what we’re shown, from that moment on: *this fucking guy* channeled all that disgust into getting these kids convicted. He remained impressively *stoic* utilizing psychology and a little charm to get the Wittle Lispy Boy locked away. *Forever.*
That’s what made this tragedy worth learning about. Knowing that there are still good men - no, good COPS who can recognize evil, and act under pressure. Men, man!💪🏼😎
@@OfficialDJLaxative lol
@@OfficialDJLaxative I
Him telling the other siblings to let him in and then proceed to kill them is the ultimate betrayal. Rest in peace.
A tragic detail left out- Robert was the only child that was sent to school because April and David wanted to keep the children safe. They didn’t want them going to public school.
Unfortunately Robert was sexually abused by a teacher or someone associated with the school, so they pulled him out and refused to send any other children to public school.
It doesn’t excuse any of it, but it helps explain why they were the way they were.
Rip to Daniel that 12 year old who called 911 he literally saved 500 potential people from being killed and also RIP to the rest of the family, i hope crystal and autumn are living the best of their lives as well, The Detective must have been in horror and disbelief while hearing this but he still controlled his emotions, i respect him.
God almighty, hearing how Michael lured the kids into letting him in the room broke me. I had to pause the video for awhile, smacked a wall to keep myself from yelling. Need to go hug my little one...
Yeah I also needed to watch my precious ones innocently snoring after that
This is actually horrifying. The darkness lying in Humanity is incredible.
Which is why I still randomly buy other people’s coffee in line behind me. Sounds small and insignificant- sure. However, I tend to think that just maybe, in the “butterfly effect” type thinking- that small positive change might just change the course of something horrible and dark. Sorry to ramble.
It REALLY IS. I had been into TC for over a DECADE and, I was getting bored -seen it all, can gage the guilty from the START. And then.... jaw drops. And I pick it up because it's just another twist I should watch for, another lesson -but then the jaw drops again. I AM DONE. Apparently the DEPTHS to which human DEPRAVITY will go to and even worse WHYYYY... IS ENDLESS. I am SO with the UK on this. Behave like a gentleman/woman and friend in general, but suspect ABSOLUTELY EVERY BODY AND SOUL IN SIGHT. It's VERY disappointing -and that's what you're thinking only AFTER the shock has somehow become part of you.

Videos like this remind me of how broken humans can be with no outside factors they're just born flawed...really sad. Hope the survivors can find some sort of peace
No outside factors? Seclusion, abuse.. plus they obviously have mental issues too but evil is not born.. it’s made. Not entirely through their circumstances but how they react to them. They’re responsible for the choices they made though but they weren’t born evil. It’s a nature and nurture combo
