Crime Beat: I survived a serial killer | S2 E9 

The 911 operator sounded very rude in that dashcam video. She was just yelling at him. WTF. Her tone was just aggravated sounding like he was wasting her time.

That roommate coming home truly saved his life I think.

Alarm bells would've gone off for me when Bruce said, "Does anybody know that you're here?"

At 67.... those were not his only killings. He had pretty much perfected his technique. He was just beginning to become lackadaisical, luckily that roommate came home early... as for "Isaac", he was lucky that Bruce was just in that lackadaisical age.... Thank goodness Isaac called the police.

For all the commenters freaking out about the 25 year sentence, he will be declared a dangerous offender and never released. 25 years is his first chance for parole. He will never get it. Ever.

Moral of the story: please report sexual/physical assaults to the police. You never know if your report will solve a case on time one day.

Why is the 911 dispatcher so rude?

I’d be willing to bet there are more victims... I find it hard to believe that he started killing at that age

25 years for 8 senseless murders?? That's not justice!!!

Dang imagine being that home owner and learning you had humans in your flower pots.

He was 66 when he eventually got caught! That’s old. He’s had to kill many others. What an evil man!

To the first Survivor what you are going through is Survivor guilt. Live Life to the Fullest for the Rest of these Victims, because I think that's what they would want. You to do.

It is really brave of Sean and Isaac to share their stories. A big hug for both of them. I feel so sad for men who lost their lives.

I can just about guarantee he didn't start killing at that age, he's been doing it and I'm willing to bet he has more victims the cops have no idea about. Also, I whole heartedly believe the roommate coming home saved that guys life. 💯

That Bruce's face seemed like a kind uncle. People are scary.

How this police officer can claim that the police department is using him as a scapegoat baffles me because he did not conduct an interview with the first victim that reported he was physically assaulted by not following protocol is sickening

I was an avid ID channel watcher, but they show the same cases over and over again, under different names and narration, etc... This channel has cases that I am not familiar with, and the method of reporting is intelligent and compelling.

So the guy who got assaulted in the van got “slapped in the face” cause he reported the assault and Bruce was allowed to walk out of the police station as a free man. Completely unbelievable, just unbelievable🙄🙄.

Thank God the roommate came home when he did. If he hadn’t, Sean certainly wouldn’t be here today.

These victims are so brave and honest to speak of this and I hope that other male sexual abuse survivors will speak up no matter their situation.

Toronto was the only city in Canada that did not have a Dedicated Missing Persons Unit. This is mind boggling. I am convinced if We had one Lives could have been saved.

I hope Sean and “Isaac” find their peace. Bless both of them for sharing what they survived. I can’t imagine how hard this must have been, but they are brave and AMAZING people.

So Isaac went through all this and he’s still living his life for other people?? Live your best life dude. Hope you find the strength.

The only reason Sean is alive is bc of that roommate. I wouldn't be surprised if there's far more 'missing' men from earlier yrs that these cops don't want to investigate again or try and connect to this killer simply bc it'd bring them more backlash.

Oh my gosh Shawn! It’s a miracle you are alive. Glad you are still here

This guy chose people who wanted their meetings to be a secret. They weren't chosen cause nobody cared. they were chosen because the victims themselves would have covered their track and made it easy for someone to get away with their murder.

It's unfortunate it takes so long to catch a serial killer - it's often the one that survives that does it!

When I was a paramedic, I saw a teen girl die from the "date rape" drug.

This is a lesson too, sometimes we learn the hard way.. We all should be responsible for our safety and should not give our trust to people on the internet. NEVER trust someone you meet online, no matter how long you have known him/her..

Wow bless "Isaac" and Sean. I hope they live happy and healthy lives. RIP to the victims

I also can't help but feel sorrow for Isaac.... I can't imagine not feeling comfortable in my own skin and living a lie, especially after coming so close to not even having a life.... Truly saddens me.... I hope one day he can not be so afraid of his truth... ✨🤍 Good luck to all the Isaacs in the world.....

That operator who took Isaacs call was not nice at all.

Audio 10/10 Video 10/10

That Detective in the interview is gorgeous. Go get that serial killer.

❤️OMG!! God bless this poor man! ❤️🙏😢 I survived together with a boy many years ago a padophile.. I cannot forget what happened, even we had big luck because of my lies, that my father is a karate master and that he will find me! Never thought that trick would help in anyway, but it really helped us then to survive!! Finally he let us go..Austrian Police didn't do anything against him, even I reported that to them together with my grandma, I also gave them the number of the car, because I wrote it down when we got out of his damn car! I am so disappointed!! Police in USA is different luckily !!

I wish they would’ve explained more about the 2 victims that has never been reported missing.. wtf.

Those who want to abuse people will choose a victim, who is unlikely to report their abuse to the police.

What a sad, heartbreaking story. Eight innocent men whose lives were just stolen from them. I agree that in cases such as this, the victims are often marginalized by law enforcement if they're immigrants, gay people, racially selected people or people "who won't be missed." Every single life is precious; these victims were worthy people, even if they were " different" from us in some way. Sean and Isaac were so courageous to come forward with their stories. They very nearly were two more victims, which would have brought the total to at least 10. God bless them, the victims, and the victims' families and loved ones. Thank God the murderer was caught before he could kill anyone else. The man who was in the monster's apartment when the police knocked on the door was probably very close to becoming the final victim. God bless you all and keep you safe. 🙏🙏

This story hit home to me so much because 18 months ago I was raped in Toronto and survived. It was 2 days before my daughter's wedding. He was arrested from CCTV and has been on house arrest since. The courts have slowed down because of Covid. But his pretrial is coming up. The reason I related to this was because he tried to smother and strangle me. It was in a park and it had been raining earlier that day. I was in a bunch of trees and foliage. I think the only reason I survived was because he heard some people close by. He kept trying to shut me up but I was able to convince him to lead me back to my air BNB. I feel like he is a serial killer in the making because of everything that happened. I was at a bar 2 doors from my Air BNB and he convinced me to walk to this park to smoke a joint. He was 31 I was 49. My daughter getting married was 29. I pictured him like one of her friends. Laughing and joking and reminiscing about family and weddings! He seemed like the most congenial person, then in a flash he changed!!!!! He Jerked me down a muddy path and raped me and smothered me and strangled me! I felt so badly for the men in this story, because I know how it is to have trust in someone and then be in complete fear of your life!!! I did not even want to have sex with this young boy! I was totally looking at it as a fun night out with a new friend. I was going to get to explore Toronto a bit more and smoke a joint and go home!! NOT THE CASE. I think he is probably a serial rapist and I think he might have killed me if he could and he might kill others! I am coming back from Texas for the trial and I hope to put that bastard away so he can't hurt or kill anyone!

As a gay man this is why I don’t do drugs! You NEVER know who you are hooking up with nowadays!! I’m so glad these men survived and bravely shared their stories!!

That looks like a lot of blood on the floor of his van ! I’d love to know what kind of childhood Bruce had to make him kill men that are just like him sexually I mean . Great documentary ,Thank You 🙏❤️🇨🇦

The resemblance between Shun and Andrew are chilling....

At first glance he looks like a loving family man. Wow very deceptive

Wow, killed 8 men and only sentenced for 25 years, its not fair !!

Shout out to the crew that makes these docs, some of the best out there and best of all they are Canadian! Go Leafs Go.

That's a all around tragedy. But I feel bad they both have survivors guilt. I'm going to pray for them

Seriously ur channel is 1 of the best.

I'm hooked on this channel!! These stories are so unfortunate and my heart is with each and every victim..but listening to their stories helps make the public aware, and gives good advice on how to prevent these things from happening again. I used to watch Investigation ID, Forensic Files, Homicide Hunter, all those shows, but it got to where I was watching the same cases just reported or portrayed differently. This channel is showing me new cases I have never heard of and that is what I've been looking for!! I truly thank each victim for being strong enough to share their stories with us. I'm certain it has helped many people!

Your fan is sitting here, and waiting for Bruce story 🦁

Am I the only one who noticed the 911 operator was rude as hell when Isaac called?? Like wtf she didnt even give him a minute to answer and she’s yelling “ I need to know what happened” shit lady let him speak and you’ll find out!!

There is no justice in this world anymore.

Canadians are so much more progressive. They just report without judgements or a need for an opposing moral opinion.

Wolves live in sheep's clothing... 8 victims and life with parole after 25 years!!!! How is that justice!!! I have serious concern about Canadian laws

I really hope these two men can overcome their trauma and thoroughly enjoy the rest of their lives.... Peace to the victims

I love stories of SURVIVORS!! Keep them coming, please.

Just found this channel and subbed. The rest of my Sunday is sorted, don't think my man will be getting a roast later 😉

I hope any person who watches it will be more careful with online dating! It can happen to you, too. Let people know who you meet where and other important things. Meet in public not private homes.

Jesus Christ, he just put the body parts in planters around a customer's home?

That the police downplayed a serial killer was targeting gay men is a hate crime in itself.

Well done Sean and Isaac, for speaking up and sharing your stories. Such a horrific tale of what can happen if we abide by the mantra to not judge a book by its cover. We must all learn to look deeper than the persona shown to us, online or in real life. I hope both men can leave their haunting memories behind them and focus on a brighter future.

Love the great stories and reporters are so talented much love Arlene from Scotland xoxoxo

Thank you for allowing these victims of this killer tell their compelling stories

Poor Isaac living through the unthinkable and not to be taken seriously. And on top of that for killing 8 men to get a only 25 years!! Thats less than 4 years for each murder. What a slap in the face. People have done far less and receive much more time.

Our justice system is a joke.

Well this was the easiest case to solve as a detective. They should be ashamed for how long it actually took them.

It should have been 25 consecutive years for each victim! The justice system is ridiculous… no comment

Love these episodes! I'm hooked. I wanted to suggest the Elizabeth Bain case. There hasn't been much said about it over the last few years. Would love to hear your perspective.

This is so tragic for the two victims that survived and thee 8 lives that were taking by the hands of that guy, i have the up most respect for Sean and Izac for telling there stories and hope that they can move forward in life from this xxx

May God bless both Isaac and Sean for surviving from this horrible situation. I cried for these victims, so senseless poor men my condolences to the victims families. May you ALL RIP. Justice has been served.

I am so grateful that Sean Cribben survived, he seems like such a gentle natured beautiful person. He is the kinda guy that will be your most trusted best friend in this world.... his kind is very rare, may God continue to protect him from harm. RIP to the guys who didn't make it.♥

Thanks for your channel Crime Beat TV!! Love from Canada!

Imagine how many other serial killers never got caught and just died

I’ve watched a few of these episodes. I’m sorry, but Canada doesn’t punish their criminals enough. 25 years for killing 8 men simply due to their sexuality is utterly ridiculous.

Canada’s justice system man, what a joke “Oh, so it says here you’ve been charged with assault ey?!” “Well, off you go then”

Another great video from my new favorite channel. Very glad to have found it & subscribed.

a lot of it was reported the police department completely botched this investigation. bruce had ties to multiple of the missing men he was brought in 3 different times for questioning regarding the disappearances & he was charged years prior for assaulting a guy with a metal pipe. it truly is such a sad case. i lived in the building he was arrested in. where multiple of these cases happened. it’s scary. i also frequent toronto’s gay village & the vibe during these times was truly eyrie.

I just subscribed ☺I love your channel the videos are awesome thanks for all the work you do!!

No “lets do it in a van in a parking lot” is more suspicious than intriguing.

Imagine being that homeowner that was letting him use there property for storage 😳

As a gay man this bothers me. I’ve had met some strangers in my lifetime and thank God they weren’t crazies. Im blessed to have gotten through that period of my life but this also shows you that even years of communication doesn’t mean anything. Dude is just crazy. Side Note: that dude is absolutely not desirable and I don’t see what they saw in him to meet up. I know to each their own but they could have done way better.

Such a sad story, I hope these two survivors can access victims of crime compensation, they deserve a happier future and the trauma is obviously still very real. Such a sad story. RIP , you deserved better. 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

Tomorrow is my birthday, I’m looking forward to watching!

Good for Bruce! The ditch he dug became his destiny!

Just found this channel. Very sad case indeed I'd never heard of this. The advice Sean gave at the end is so important for everyone using online dating app etc. Wish him and Isaac all the best moving forward. My heart goes out to the victim's families. 🌹

Seriously some sick and twisted crap going on! Surely he did not "just start" his murder spree!

Wazzup from 🇺🇸.. We're waiting too!!💕💞

Out of all the crime shows on RU-vid, Crime Beat is my favorite, by a long shot.

Dig deeper in every place he lived. More victims to find. No way he started later in life. He may have only killed a few over the years but hehas killed more than heis given credit for. To refined of a method to have just began this kind of activity.

Thank you for all the amazing work, inspiring, factual, I love your videos. True professionals

I got notification 2 days ago and another one just on time!!! Great channel.

I love crime beat i wish there was a new episode every week!

love this channel!! I'm using it to become familiar with our most infamous cases in Canada, in preparation for law school. I would love to see a more in-depth report of the court proceedings, though! :)

The 911 lady sounded so irritated and rude

..this goes to show how sketchy online dating and hook ups can be!! Please be safe people and always tell someone who you are meeting with and all the info you have...I personally always inform at least 2 people and i make them check in on me during the date...Be safe out there folks!

Love the channel!

This channel handled this story so professionally without judgement ❤️

That first 911 operator was not nice. Why are they like that? "I need to know what's going on!" THAT'S WHAT IM TELLING YOU LADY

New sub love this channel

I love your channel.....always quality content

Thanks for having a great channel ❤️🇦🇺
