    Damn, 93%of his body was burned and he was pretty much already dead but he still tried to save his wife and dogs and had enough in him to point out his own killer. That's pretty f@cking metal.

      Money isn't the root of ALL evil..........just most of it.
      The other roots of evil......
      jealousy,
      obsession,
      lack of character,
      greed (not all greed involves money but most),
      religious beliefs
      and insanity.
      By "lack of character" I mean people who
      abuse their kids, partners, friends and pets verbally and/or physically,
      because of their individual character flaws and mental health issues.
      No one deserves to be lied to, controlled or abused because they,
      Pee on the floor,
      bark,
      don't "keep the house clean",
      don't have sex on demand,
      don't go to bed on time,
      wet the bed
      don't do their homework.
      take food from the pantry/fridge
      or don't lend their friends money when asked.
      Nope.
      No excuses for abuse or murder.

      trying to 'cover up' monetary problems is actually a pretty common family murder or murder-suicide motive. ie. the house of cards, to cover up the failure of being a man. trying to provide everything family wants is also a rather common way to end up in that, like it's not always having some kind of vice the money went to or something like that.
      it's common enough that it should be taught in schools and that there's places to get help etc.

      Mr. Ballen covers true crime sometimes and I know when he does, there's usually a charity or something at the end to assist the victims. He's covered emergency numbers in videos where they were more relevant. Other than them, I can't think of any others that do both. Lots will do charities for the families/victims, but not emergency resources.

    The second most infuriating part (the first being that he killed his mother and stepfather) is that he started blowing through the money he gained right away. He did all this because he was drowning in debt and was about to be found out. So instead of changing his spending habits and taking care of that debt he just blew it off. Maybe a couple of years and then he would be right back where he started. All of it for nothing.

    God, I don’t understand people that don’t keep track of their finances and spend like crazy, especially if you have a lower paying job. I used to spend impulsively when I was in college, but I went to study abroad afterwards and had to live on very little money, which has helped so much when it comes to impulse control and saving. I constantly check my bank account daily and I have a list of things I need to pay off. And when I have the impulse to buy something, I’ll sit on it for a few days and if I really really want it, then I’ll buy it. But I don’t really buy a bunch of material goods anymore. Minimalism is so much better in my opinion.

      You said, "And when I have the impulse to buy something, I’ll sit on it for a few days and if I really really want it, then I’ll buy it."

Buuuuut since I am A CRIME MENIAC and watch Channels from many different Countries all over the World, it is not hard to find the same Story between 10 - 15 Times but sometimes you hear additional things or false input and at the End, every Creator has their own unique way and style to present the cases.

      Edit: There are major Key-Crime-Channel-Players I refuse to watch any longer and support. At the beginning they were cool until they started to constantly put updated out, like several times a Day about current cases at that time. Acting like they are Investigators, sensation hunting and making assumptions or conspiracy kind of remarks - it felt like the NEWS, way to predicted, mainstream and feels like business - naw not my thing at all.

      It's always crazy to realize you have even a slight personal connection to these stories.
      I posted on Toronto CL's rants and raves commenting a couple times on the insane conversation someone was having there (pretending to be multiple people) posting over and over denying they were secretly dating Karla Homolka (and then accusing themselves as other people). Later on, I learned that person was Luca Magnotta (a while before he mailed that students head to the Prime Minister or whatever).
      Also, I used to be on a gay hookup site when I was in my early 20s, and when Bruce McArthur was eventually caught and people reported what his username was on there, I realized that he had tried to message me (I don't think I even responded). I'm sure he messaged basically every guy that fit his type, but if I was into older guys I might have ended up buried in someone's garden!

      @Jnetta58 uuuhh.. ok God wanted to hang out with him more than he wanted him to be in this dimension?? Lol. You speak as if you know the answers to the cosmos. Goodness . Theologians have been debating this for thousands of years.
      Please let some more of that genuine altruistic draw the line philosophy flow!!

    Usually when guilty people are asked questions, they never directly answer! Like where were you last night? Oh, first I lost my phone, then my wife told me about her job promotion and my golden retriever had 8 puppies 😂

    Thank you for covering an Ontario case! I’m from Toronto and all the places you mentioned are extremely local and familiar. Ontario is a massive province.
