Family Who Disappeared Found Trapped Inside Secret Room Locked For 9 Years 

Are we just gonna ignore that Brian's neighbor's name is Scott Free? Ok.

"We believe it may be a homicide" Well people don't dismember themselves and stuff themselves inside an aquarium and stuff it under the stars.

Another interesting thing about the first case, Sandile was not the only man to be found mysteriously dead in the rafters of that hospital.

Me : that's it, I have to go to sleep now. EXPLORE WITH US : hey, wanna hear about a family trapped inside for 9 years ? Me : sure.

So let me get this straight..you can murder a man, dismember his body, dump him in a fish tank, move into his house, spend all his money, hire a "crime scene clean up company" to get rid of evidence of the crime (apart from the actual body) and still get away with his murder? How does any murderer ever get sent down for murder in America if this is an example of the legal system there?

Two guys living in Brian Egg’s house, using his identity to buy things, with his cut up body with them but they go free... What..?

Just to clear some things up, Gerrit van D. at Ruinerwold was holding his kids captive, he didn't kidnap them. As far as I know, he has been officially charged with "deprivation of liberty", but the case against him was put on hold last year because he suffered from a stroke. He was unable to form words or sentences and is recovering from brain damage. His four oldest kids however are suing him in their own case for alleged sexual abuse, hoping that their father will acknowledge his wrongdoings in order to get some sense of justice. The oldest son recounts how he had to wear his mother's clothes and sleep in the same bed as his father after she had died, and was sexually assaulted during that time. He also had to take his mother's role in the household as his dad believed her spirit now inhabited his body. It's completely insane. The Austrian handyman Josef B. is charged with conspiring with Gerrit and upholding the reign of terror after he became unable to do so on his own. He faces a possible 4 years in prison. Father Gerrit van D. was allegedly part of the Unification Church, or Moon sect, but added his own apocalyptical beliefs into the mix. He sought to repopulate the world with his family. The children are doing fine now. They've more or less succesfully reintegrated into society and have worked together on a book and documentary explaining their 9 year imprisonment at home.

I love how they opened the storage room under the stairs 4 DAYS into searching the home xDDDD what were they doing before? Asking the walls some questions?

Hmmm. Missing neighbor. Unknown men seen cleaning like mad and bleach overload. Clean-up crew? Torso under the stairs? Yup, I'm sure they didn't kill Brian either... (smh)

That first story shocked me. Not because of what happened to Sandele, but because the police took a missing persons report seriously

In Brian's case, I'm way more focused on the judge just suddenly dropping the case. That's incredibly unusual behavior for a judge and he should be investigated. He might've been paid off or he knew the murderers personally and constantly helped them stay free. This case needs to be opened up again by a new set of eyes. There are far too many suspicious things in that case.

how tf do you do 3 welfare checks on a guy missing and just shrug your shoulders when literally no one answers the door.

Brian's family, friends and neighbours did more trying to find him than the useless cops did. To make matters worse, the two pos who murdered him aren't even being held accountable. 🤬

You’re telling me they moved into his home, hired a crime scene cleaning company, make purchases with his card,But they’re not guilty?

I'm just absolutely baffled at how long it took anyone to report Brian MISSING to begin with.

Can't believe a private crime scene cleanup company worked for hobos without asking any questions wtfff

Everyone: Brian is missing Police: No he's not. His house is right there Everyone: His killers should be imprisoned Justice system: Nah

I am so angry that they let those 2 men off for Brian's murder and dismembering!! They are clearly guilty!! How could they let them go free?? I can't imagine how his family and friends feel over this!!!

The last story reminded me of the Turpin family...Jordan, who escaped, and has since managed to carve out a social media career,is a wee hero to me,she saved her siblings!

There is another case in a South African hospital that is very much the same. The man who went missing in the other case could barely move and disappeared within seconds of his nurse stepping literally outside his door to get a blanket. His remains were found in a different wing of the hospital, in a wall that he couldn’t possibly have access too. 😮

I can’t believe that those 2 men haven’t been made accountable for killing and dismembering that poor man. It’s a sad sad world sometimes

The police and honestly the entire system absolutely failed Brian. The story is heartbreaking from start to finish.

Shot out to the narrator .....like he's the man here. Always pronounces everything right and takes the time to clearly explain and has the perfect tone leaving viewers interested and in suspense. Love EWU !!

As a South African who had no idea of such a case of Sandile, thank you so much for including us in your true crime. May Sandile’s soul Rest In Peace

The second case just baffles me?? After everything the neighbors seen, how the hell are the cops not going to take things seriously ?? I can't even. No one even found guilty. What a piss off.

I feel like with Brian’s case the police dropped the investigation and didn’t charge those guys cause they didn’t want to get caught up in being blamed for not investigating a missing person case properly.

How much more evidence do they need omg! They were in the house with the dismembered body, used his cards,cleaned up areas of the house. What more can a judge want. Disgusting!

The way the police handled the Brian Egg case is beyond comprehension. Infuriating from start to finish.

They found a torso in a fish tank with no head and the hands cut off. "The medical examiner determined it to be homicide". Well, I did not need to be told that. If the medical examiner looked at it and said "Musta been a heart attack", I'd start to question how that person became a medical examiner and what school he attended to do so.

Apparently a neighbour of my friend who lives in a very small community had a bunch of kids running around their house all the time, but they didn't really see adults as much, aside from them coming and going. One day they went over there and walked just inside the door to the kitchen for whatever, idk what it was, but they could tell there were a bunch of people in one bedroom in the back. They were trying to be quiet but my friend could still hear them. They thought it was weird as they stood in the kitchen alone while the neighbour went into the back room. They saw a baby car seat and what they thought was a doll in it, on the floor under the table. Turns out it was a baby, the people were smoking crack, and had just left the baby alone. They were there for at least 5 minutes and the baby didn't even move. When the kids were taken and given to a relatively nearby relative, they said the baby didn't cry and went to the doctor, who told them that it had likely been so neglected that it had given up crying because no one ever came. Absolutely gut wrenching. You really don't know what's going on under your nose.

Do crime scene clean up companies not need a permit from police or something to clean up and destroy evidence?

Crime scene cleaners accepting private contracts is super suspicious. I’d take a close look at their work record. If hired privately I think they should be referred to as “evidence removers”

Why do people only disappear into 'thin' air? Would thicker air be a preventive measure?

As a South African I want to commend the narrators pronounciation of all the first cases names. The care he’s taken to ensure he delivers those names clearly and confidently shows respect especially to Sandile! RIP x

Police should never assume anything. They should keep an open mind and look into and investigate thoroughly

I have to wonder if the case of the man who disappeared in the hospital could possibly be related to the strangest situation I’ve ever experienced, when my 18 month old grandson suddenly disappeared right from under me while we were alone in my tiny 500 sq/ft deadbolt locked house. We were in the kitchen, and he was standing on a chair helping me shell boiled eggs, his job was to crush the shells in a mortar, with a pestle for the garden. I turned, walked ten feet away, still in his sight, turned back, and he was gone. Stunned, I started yelling for him searching everywhere, even ended up unlocking the deadbolt, and looking outside. Understanding he couldn’t even be outside, I ran back inside, and started literally tearing the house apart looking, but he was absolutely gone. I was so panicked I was just ready to call 911, when I heard a whimper. Since I couldn’t tell where it was coming from, I kept calling for him, following the sound, until I realized the whimpers were coming from above me, in the attic. Relieved, stunned, and totally confused, I opened the door to the attic, and there he sat, up there in the pitch black attic. I had to move several hundred glass mason jars, cans of food, canning/cooking equipment, and baskets of winter vegetables, to get up there. This took a few minutes, and the entire time he just sat there perfectly still, and silent, blankly staring at me. Once I reached him, and picked him him, he dropped two fistfuls of eggshells on the attic floor. After I got him out of the attic, I asked him how on earth he got up there, and he said “a deer bunny”. He was speech delayed, so that’s literally all he would say when questioned. I asked him where was the deer bunny now? He took my hand, walked me back to the open attic door, and put his finger to his lips as we approached, and said “shhhh”. But as soon as he looked up into the stairwell, he became visibly scared, and backed away. Well, I searched the attic, and of course didn’t find a deer bunny, but did notice that oddly enough, the only crushed eggshells to be found were at the counter, and up in the attic itself where I found him. After replacing everything, my son, and I tested him, to see if he could even open the old heavy attic door, or get up the stairwell, and just as we already knew, he wasn’t even close to physically capable of doing either. Bizarre as this sounds, it 100% happened, and it still perplexes me, because it was physically impossible. It also terrified me. I was worried sick about the “deer bunny” coming back, taking him again, and returning him outside in the busy road, on the roof, or just never bringing him back. *of note The attic door was located in the kitchen between my grandson standing on the chair, and where I walked too, so I was 10’ from my grandson, 5’ from the attic door, and both were in my line of sight, when he disappeared.

If my brother was missing, after a few days I would enter his house however way I could and find out what's going on.

Can't get over that the killers had a professional crime scene cleaning company come in.

Probably the LARGEST collection of stock footage I've ever seen in one video.

The first case is so puzzling. Did he get himself in the ceiling? Why would he ? How did he access a room only accessible by staff, and why the ceiling? What did he die of ? Did someone murder him ? For what ? How on earth do you put a 53 yo healthy man into a ceiling ? It's going to keep me awake at night I NEED TO KNOW

In the second case... the police made me really angry, things would be so much different if they had investigated harder!

I live in a big city, and it's crazy to think that literally any one of the buildings here could be hiding horrors like this.

I wonder if Sandile Sibiya was killed and put in the ceiling on purpose. How else would a guy with a broken leg be able to climb up into the ceiling and why?

So, anybody can just hire a crime scene clean up crew?

“I just hope who ever did this doesn’t get away with it” -Scott Free

The first case of Sandile Sibiya. He was definitely murdered by the hospital staff since the store room could only be accessed by a hospital staff and the murderer knew that its impossible for him to carry a dead body out of the hospital,thats why he put the dead body in the ceiling. Btw, no cctv inside or outside the store room?? Thats weird. There should be a cctv camera outside the store room (hallway).

Brians neighbor was actually named Scott Free? LOL

What you said at the end is true.... we had no idea that right next door to us, a woman by the name of jaycee dugard was being held captive in a makeshift sound proof room in a backyard of the property and was missing for over 18 years from lake Tahoe. We always knew the neighbor and his wife were off, and seemed crazy, and he was not to be spoken too, and then one day on the porch of our house in high-school, we just see the house of Phillip and Nancy Garrido being raided by the sheriff's and then the fbi coming . We saw the woman being found alive, her children being rescued as well that the captors made with her and they then were at that house every day for weeks coming the property, then demolishing the house. You just never know what crazy ish is going on right next door to you.

My jaw dropped to the floor with that Brian case. I've seen some terrible acts of justice but that one takes the cake! I hope the family is able to get some form of justice soon!

Where's the woman or women that had kids with that monster Garret? I'm glad the older boy helped his siblings escape, he's a true hero.

I’m so confused about how the first case ended in such mystery?? Was an autopsy done?? An investigation? Was he trying to escape and got stuck or was he murdered and shoved in the ceiling?? I need more info!

I read the autobiography of that poor young man from Ruinerwold. It's an incredibly sad story. This man is insanely brave, really strong and unbelievably smart.

A long time ago, a lawyer told me, that the most lazy people in any occupation is the police. Time and time again, after watching these true crime videos, I have to agree with him.

The story about Sandile was very sad. Both those hospitals are real s***holes. How can anyone get into the ceiling with a broken leg. As far as it goes, someone did something to him.

I love when police get flooded with calls of concern for someone by people who actually know them and they respond “he went on vacation and didn’t tell you” like wtf is that

"Garrett Van Dee was the evil genius" Yeah, what he did was a stroke of brilliance. What a galaxy brain

Narrator: Brian's death was ruled a homicide Me: You don't say . Narrator: the two guys were let go Me: What the actual fuck!

I can’t believe it took the San Francisco police department that long to take Brian’s disappearance seriously and finally do something! Thank god for his neighbors

Love your voice. Perfect pace, tone, volume. Exceptional vocabulary.

Woop woop shout out from South Africa

Calling Gerret an evil genius, could be glamourising his crimes-I cannot see what so intellectually impressive about holding 9 children hostage and abusing them, or have I missed something,Huh??

I'm over here wondering where the two strangers get their boldness from to go in and out of Brian's house without thinking if his neighbors would be suspicious of them or not. Even having a criminal case cleanup van parked just outside his house. I think these men knew they'd get away with their crimes if they're that bold.

4:39 the fact you pronounced his name with no issues was quite impressive😂

Shame on the judge for letting 2 evil men off the hook.

The first story was WILD! Poor Sandele, the hospital knows what happened and is clearly covering it up.

Flowers in the Attic was not meant to be an instruction manual..

How did I never see this absolute banger? Must be the short run time. Awesome stuff, looks like profession television!

I liked when you would say “what’s up EWU CREW, it’s the RAVEN” that was sick lol

Where is the justice for Brian Egg? If I were his family, I would be suing the sh*t out of the state of California for woeful negligence, not just for letting two killers go free, but for neglecting to do ANYTHING to search for a missing man despite an entire neighborhood and concerned family begging police to investigate his disappearance. This is absolutely horrific.

A lot of doctors are also of sociopathic tendencies I think the staff knows more

19:33 this case got alot of media attention in The Netherlands, people were shocked to find that such a thing could happen in Ruinerwold. It was so intriguing to people that they made a documentary named: ''the children of ruinerwold''. Check it out, the story is really sad.

I wonder why the community chose to communicate amongst themselves with concern but didn't gather together to investigate for themselves; politely confronting the man seen painting the front of the home. Why wouldn't even two people go ask what was going on? I would contribute doing that for those in my community.

I can't believe that is a real story!?? Brian Eggs family and friends must be outraged, I am and don't even know the poor man. Pretty much because they never confessed the police and DA can't prosecute??? This case infuriates me like the Casey Anthony case. SMH

The second case is a good reminder to always let someone you trust know where you are.

Killers of Brian released and running loose on the streets!!! So unreal.

It's amazing that there was part of a body there and they still weren't able to find enough evidence to bring these guys to trial.

As a healthcare worker in Durban, South Africa. I’ve worked at these hospitals. You don’t understand the state of government hospitals here 💀 patients frequently go missing, because of overcrowding and lack of resources.

Normal Person: "I think my neighbor could be injured or dead in their home, please check on them?" Stupid Cop: "I will simply knock. I will assume the person just isn't there, and not try to get inside." Really??

The places I find myself after not sleeping at night and only clicking on my recommendations

The story abt Sandie is truly sad but it's one of many.. Public hospitals are horrible in our country ppl do these jobs such as nursing or joining the police services coz there's nothing else to do not coz they are passionate abt looking/ caring for ppl so they aren't bothered about this as for they looked for him that's part of the things that did not happen 🙄

The first guy couldve been taken for organs, by higher ups in the hospital. They mightve found hes a match for a super wealthy client and bam, gone.

The police act like they were surprised to find Brian dead yet it was VERY clear to everyone else that, that was the outcome.

I live in the Bay Area, but had not heard of the Brian Egg case. Sadly, it doesn't surprise me that SFPD and the DA have sat on their asses on this case, both when friends/family reported him missing as well as even after discovering the body.

Hands down- you have the ABSOLUTE BEST VOICE OF ANY CHANNEL!! U remind me of bill Curtis, who had the perfect voice for crime shows! More Bodycam and videos please!

What of the mothers of these children? Six of them between the ages of 12 and 15!? Unless they are from multiple births (twins etc) there must be more than one mother!!

Brian, and his family deserve justice!!

The first time Zon went to the bar it was at closing time and it was 8 days before he returned then told them he needed help.

Am I missing something or was the autopsy/reason of death completely left out of the first story? that would answer a lot of questions

I can't believe that police have not charged the 2 squatting thieves for murdering poor Brian, hiding his body, stealing his identity, his money and his house with all the furnishings! WOW! I Pray that You get justice someday soon Brian Rest In Peace 🙏

youre telling me two men killed this man and stuffed him in a fish tank and htey WERENT CHARGED!?!?!?!?!

No mention is made of the mother of all those children that were hidden away in the farmhouse...where is she?

the second case is so horribly sad. may brian rest in peace

Hi everyone 🙏🏾✌🏾❤️ Have an Safe, Blessed, and Prosperous Evening

I cannot believe that a brother or a sister is not concerned with not hearing of a sibling for months!

This has got to be the creepiest all-time investigation.

So glad the cafe workers took the time to approach the boy in the third story instead of just writing him off as some weirdo probably saved several lives

I remember when the family of the last crime got discovered, I’m Dutch and I live quite literally next to Ruinerwold. It was a crazy thing to hear about because a crime as big as this rarely happens in The Netherlands

For that first case, I would expect that one of the hospital staff majorly messed up and gave Sandile a lethal dose of something unintentionally, killing him. Panicked, they probably ended up stuffing him up in the ceiling.

Was the guy found in the ceiling missing any organs by any chance?

Wouldn't a high security hospital have security cameras that would have seen something? Lol
