I know a murderer personally. My half brother. He killed our mother, OUR mother. we pushed for life without parole but they gave him 55 years.. I actually basically had to raise myself once I turned 18 and navigate myself through early adulthood. It was a tough time. My dad was here for a few months then gone. He was in the military. I'm 35 now. I miss you every single day Ma ❤ not a day goes by that I don't think about you
My cousin was the kind of kid who loved going outside, video games, and money. He was a snarky kid, kind of fresh. He got worse over time (why? I don't know). To the point that his mom had a member of the armed forces to talk to him. I was awoken last June to the news that he killed someone.
@@AlexandraVioletta People can in fact be born with antisocial personality disorder, and since it is considered a spectrum the severity of it can vary too. So murderers can in fact be born and it doesn't always have to be influenced by environment. It can also be developed due to brain trauma, surgeries, getting hit in the head, falling etc. In the end whether or not their home life was bad or not doesn't really matter bc they still killed someone and I think thats more important than how they were raised.
@@demontitania Antisocial personality disorder doesn't make someone a murderer and in childhood, it is referred to and starts as conduct disorder. It's symptoms can make it easier for them if raised in a bad environment to seek drugs and to commit murder (chronic boredom, aggression issues, difficulty with empathy) but environment can STILL make a massive difference. Oppositional Defiant Disorder, ADHD, autism and conduct disorder can all cause children to be violent and difficult at young ages but with the right treatment, they improve and become functional members of society. Children, even when violent and difficult, are NOT evil. They are learning how to deal with big emotions in a big world and sometimes it is overwhelming and they don't know how to handle anger or being overstimulated or how to communicate or how to calm themselves down. Writing off your child as just evil and unfixable and impossible to help can be an easy out for you if you don't want to put in the love or effort required to help them. Some parents take this out. And this sets up the child to fail because lack of love and attention can cause a child to act out further, which can strengthen the belief they are evil, and the child can internalise the idea that they are just an evil person so it doesn't matter what they do then. But no child starts with the belief that they are evil or that murder is acceptable - they don't start with this knowledge, and they don't understand death fully until approaching age 10! And even perfectly normal children act sociopathic. Four year olds sometimes try to kill younger siblings - they don't understand the concept of death or that this is permanent. Kids with no structure in their life can be very volatile, violent and have tried to stab their parents because kids NEED boundaries to feel secure. Installing boundaries can sometimes turn a very violent child into a very sweet child real fast. People with ASPD can be wonderful people just like anyone else, they can actually thrive as surgeons and firefighters and disaster relief because less ability to feel empathy makes it easier for them to focus and to carry less trauma from failing. There is no mental health condition or symptom that dooms you to be an evil person - but bad environments can certainly set up people that already have disadvantages in handling the world to fail in the society we have built because they require love, structure and treatment that isn't available to them. And this isn't to say every child will grow up to be good - some parents really do give everything to try to shape their child into a good person and it fails. But this isn't because of some nonsense like being born evil. Sometimes it is the influence of friends, sometimes it is the influence of other family members, sometimes it is the influence of online groups they socialise with, sometimes they just decide on their own they would rather be bad. But children are not born evil. No baby is out here craving the death of the innocent - they've not even formed a personality yet.
A friend's uncle ran into a factory and shot his long time girlfriend in front of her coworkers. They had been dating for like ten years. He was a quiet simple-minded man in his thirties who lived with his parents. I went with them to visit him in prison. Everybody bawled their eyes out. He was only allowed to touch them through the food slot in the door. It was one of the saddest things I've ever seen in my life.
The Atlanta spa shooter, Robert Aaron Long (though he went by Aaron when I knew him), was one of my best friends in elementary school. A few of us kids in the neighborhood would play in the woods, have sleepovers, and go to church together. We grew apart in middle school, and I was shocked to see his face on national news in 2021. So many of my core childhood memories have been tainted
As far as the man who lives where all those murderers are from, it's Arizona. And as far as the first case goes, it's even worse than described: he murdered his girlfriend for not giving him the money and her two daughters (who witnessed their mother's murder) because they were screaming and crying and he didn't want anyone to turn him in. How old were the two girls? Five and nine months. The baby was found in an irrigation canal in Mexico shortly after the murder; her big sister was never found. Their names were Valerie Gunnell, Shemaeah Gunnell and Lecresha Kirklin. They were murdered in 1989. May the all rest in peace and that POS burn in hell.
My high school bully ended up shooting a guy I knew not long after we graduated high school. He used to spread rumors abt me & he one time punched me in the face after spilling milk all over my bag. A couple months before it happened, I actually spoke to him for the first time in a while & he apologized for how he treated me in high school. He sounded so sincere & regretful & I truly forgave him in that moment. I was so proud because I really thought he’d changed into a better person. When I found out that an old friend from high school had been shot & killed, I started sobbing bc I knew how robbed of life he was. He was about to become a father & get the job of his DREAMS… & he was gone. A week later, my high school bully was charged with his death & finding out sent me into a full-blown anxiety attack. I was wailing & my family didn’t know how to help me. This man caused SO much pain & misery in my life & I finally used all my strength to forgive him… just for him to murder an old friend. Rest In Peace Ethan 🤍 Fuuck him for taking you away.
Met a guy in massage school. He became obsessed with me. Constantly said I should/could move in with him and bring my service dog. Told me he was in love with me despite us never having hung out or spoken much at school beyond the day I had him as my test-body at clinic (paired via the teachers). Ended up stabbing his parents to death because he stopped taking his meds for his schizophrenia... They found my name in journals and all the students in his class said he talked about me, even though none of them new me (I had graduated already). Yeah, detectives tracked me down and wanted to talk to me... From what I learned from another inmate he sent to me, he's still thinking/talking about me and tried to get this guy to hire me as an LMT so he could give me a letter. After explaining the real situation and the ethics issue, the guy apologized and said he'd keep the letter and promised not to mention that he ever spoke to me next time he spoke with the guy (they zoomed for bible services). Yeah... Dodged a knife there... Feel horrible though for his parents.
I once knew a woman who killed someone. We weren't friends or nothing but roommates at a drug rehab. She was a crackhead and one day she robbed a convenience store and decided to shoot and kill the store clerk so he couldn't identify her to police. He was still barely clinging to life when police found him. From what I remember reading of the article he told them he was robbed by a woman who than shot him. He died at the hospital. I remember seeing the police composite sketch on tv, but it wasn't a very good one and when I saw it I didn't make any connection who it was. She was a person of interest but she was truly hiding from the cops ( again I didn't know it was her who killed the store clerk ) so after this murder had been committed. One day I saw her and she needed a ride, so I gave her a ride not knowing she was the one police were looking for, she was the killer. Luckily as I was headed to the mall that's where I was headed with her. I just so happened to see my friends car broke down alongside the highway, I immediately pulled over because it was my friends. She didn't want me pulling over but it was too late they had ran up to my van and I told them to get in before she could do anything. So than we all headed to the mall. Once there she split and went her own way and I didn't see her after that. A week later she was captured and charged for the murder. I was but than also wasn't surprised. I was freaked out when I think of what could have happened had my friends car not been broke down along side the highway if I hadn't stopped to let my friend and his friends in. I probably would have wound up her next victim. Anyway about a months later I got arrested in a reverse drug sting operation. about 15 cops or more all jumped out with their guns drawn yelling FREEZE FREEZE, GET OUT THE CAR NOW WITH YOUR HANDS ABOVE YOUR HEAD!! They grabbed me and yanked me from the van before I could get out and slammed on on the pavement and with one cops having his knee on my back and another literally had the barrel of his gun pressed to the back of my head ( I still remember that cold steel pressed against my skull. ) All that over the purchase of a Nickle bag of marijuana. Yes this really did happen, this was back in 94. Anyway while at the jail, the woman in the cell next to mine was the woman I knew from rehab for killing that store clerk.
Weird how somebody who needed a ride from you tried to dictate when or where you pull over lol. But yeah same thing happened to me when I was at college at the university of Alabama in 2009. The kicked my door in with all their guns and I was in my boxer in my bed. Funny thing is they patted me down again even though I’m standing there with nothing but underwear on. They also punched me in the chest bc I was being that asshole from Chicago and they didn’t like ppl from the north.
@@pab1381 Nothing police do surprises me anymore. I'm just glad my friends car was broke down there. that Lady probably would have killed me. Her name was Deanna Gerringer she was arrested in 1994 in Leesburg Florida. If you google her name and the town I just mentioned it will pull up her arrest
I got pulled out of a car like a man *I'm a 120 pound girl* like 10 cops drew down on me ripped my clothes slamming me on the ground so hard and I had just had surgery. They did all that over 3 Percocet 5mg they gave me after surgery and I had them in my car during a traffic stop 🤦I was young and didn't have them in a container, just in the console. I didn't know that was a law when I was 17. Anyway no apologies no nothing. All I got was, we thought you were a man. I mean really??!!!! I had long hair but a hat on, oh and they dropped that felony to a misdemeanor when they found out I jus had surgery and such. Still still served 60 days though!! Prescription not in proper container!! And not they charged me 25$ a day to be in jail so I had a nice lil jail bill when I got out. Multiply 25$ by 60. I swear jail is a money bracket and that's all they care about.
Guy's, I know it sounds bad as is but we do need to rate and rank the crimes done... murder is up there and weed isn't supposed to be that crazy, it's pretty obvious that someone in the ealry 2000's took advantage of weed uses.
@@hi-nq4qh Yup, that is pathetic they did all that to you. It's not even a real crime you didn't pose a danger or threat to anyone and neither did I. This is yet another example of cops getting off on a power trip hurting people and arresting them on BS charges, This is why I Hate cops. Not saying all of them are bad but when you experience things like this? It makes you bother fear and Hate them. The way they handled you and the way they handled me and so many countless others this way. Especially since I was NOT resisting, I didn't try to run didn't put up a fight and yet they slammed me to the road pavement when No one was resisting arrest or trying to escape or being violent or belligerent to the cops. This is them getting their rocks off hurting people. Wish they'd do a video covering police abuse of power on non-violent criminals who committed a very petty victimless crimes and didn't resist
I knew four, three from high school (a very small, rural area), and one from college-in four unrelated incidents. They all had very different personalities, but you never would have guessed it from any one of them. Every one was so shocking that hearing about it it was like a gut punch.
Back in the 1990s I lived next door to a bloke who stabbed his wife (fourteen times) to death in the small hours. I wouldn't say he was a friend, we were more just friendly acquaintances. He was a perfectly affable chap and they were good neighbours, never noisy or objectionable in any way, just a couple of nice enough folks living their lives. I never heard them arguing or anything and they seemed like they were pretty happy, they would wave and say g'day and we'd sometimes chat about banal things like the weather and whatnot. He worked at a local quarry and she was a Doctor's receptionist and there was nothing dodgy or questionable about them at all that I could figure out. After everything was done I went to visit him in jail. I didn't even know him that well, but his family had (probably understandably) had shunned him and washed their hands of the whole thing, and I had many questions, as you can imagine. When I saw him he told me he was really looking forward to his psych evaluation (in Australia that's a thing) as he was hoping they'd be able to tell him why he'd done it. He had no memory of the deed, and he was pretty devastated that this had happened as he said he loved her and they were looking forward to a nice life together. He was pretty sincere and believable, and the Police were as baffled as he was. It made no sense whatsoever. He was just as nice and mild-mannered as he'd always been when I saw him and I was sad because I knew the jail system was going to chew him up and spit him out. I mean, he killed his wife, he absolutely belonged in jail, but he wasn't a hardened crim or a bad person and that particular jail was known for being a pretty rough place. The whole situation was just terrible really. I still don't understand it and I suspect he doesn't either. It was all very very odd.
I went to school with him. Hung out at the skate park in middle school. Senior year he strangled his 98 yo neighbor and video taped himself SA her corpse. They found him 40 mins away in Cleveland OH. His parents tried to blame it on medication messup. He was 17 and tried as an adult and is spending life in prison.
Oh my god I live in the town where the girl was killed because she was "more popular." The taco bell she was killed behind is right next to the high school. Growing up, I had a friend who was going down a really bad path. They were super manipulative from the start, but I didn't see it for a while. My mom finally ended up telling me that she didn't like when I hung out with this friend, and that's when she told me about the murder case. She was in her 20s when she saw it on the news, and hasn't gone to that Taco Bell since. It's not in a bad area, just busy, but she still refuses to go anywhere near it. I know she thinks that it could have been me, just another 20 years later.
This was my nephew who was older than me by about a decade. He was amazing and was very much like an older brother to me, he and his brothers had to live in the same house I grew up in because their birth parents were out of the picture for a while, but they were never unloved by them as far as I knew. He was also very much like my parents son, even my sweet elderly parents nicknamed him "son" whenever they need his help for things I wasn't able to do at the time, as I was just a little kid who was still building up their strength. I loved his energy growing up, and I strived to try and mirror him in every way. He was also diagnosed with ADHD, and thinking of that made me wonder if I had the same condition, because a lot of times neurodivergents would always flock together and have each other's backs most of the time. I still have yet to be tested. There are details of my family that is reminiscent of having neurodivergence, but not being diagnosed, after all. Anyway, I did go off tangent, back to my older nephew who I called my brother. He was sweet, lovable, and a straight up badass that knew bike tricks and was very active, enjoying video games every now and then but was mostly always active. He would hunt and subsist for us, and was always willing to help our dad. I hardly noticed the signs of his ADHD but I would sometimes note that he never stayed at the family table for too long. This was all well and good until the one night thar he made an irreversible and irreparable mistake in his entire life. He was intoxicated and attacked the cab driver one winter around New Year's. She was just doing her job, and I will always feel guilt for her, and i hope her family is doing well, even if I never met or heard about them. I don't know why he did it, and I have my half cracked theories about it. But the overall consensus was that I will never know or understand. I was still in school, and at the time my mushy teen brain couldn't grasp why he won't be coming home until I was told. I think I shut down at the time and went back to my teen stuff to bury all the confusion and hurt I was feeling for him not ever coming home until I was an adult. I'm in my 20's now, and he has about 20 more years before he finally comes home and does everything he can to give back to the community. I hear he got back in contact with his daughter, my grand-niece, and he's trying to make amends before he comes home. My heart aches even now because he was always my favorite older nephew, the other two were decent but they fell into bullshit. I hope to see him again before this damn planet decides to quit hosting the Human race.
There was a math teacher at my high school named Mr. LaCalamita who only lasted one year there. He was there my sophomore year and taught math for most of the sophomores. I didn't have him as a teacher personally because most of my classes were with juniors and seniors, but since it was a very small Catholic school, I did have some interactions with him. He was quiet - not mean or anything, but almost like he was afraid of the students, which is a recipe for having your students walk all over you. He stood out in my mind because 1. he was one of the few male teachers at the school while I attended, and 2. this was around the time "Guantanamera" by Wyclef Jean was released, and we would insert his last name where "Guantanamera" is in the song. At the time, all I knew about Mr. LaCalamita personally was that he was a former priest. He ended up not coming back after that year. Fast forward about a decade. I have a break at work and I open up the local paper, and I see a name, "Anthony LaCalamita III," and go on to read a story about an accountant who got in hot water for sex workers on company time and was fired, so he went back to his former firm a week later, shot and killed the office manager, and also shot the partners of the firm. I read more on the trial and I see a photo, and lo and behold, it's Mr. LaCalamita the math teacher. Apparently, after teaching at my high school, he went on to teach at another local high school (both private, all-girls Catholic schools), and then left the teaching profession entirely to go into accounting. Wild stuff.
It was my cousin’s friend. He was supposed to testify in court about my cousin’s murder as he was a witness. But he ended up killing somebody and the court deemed him unreliable in the case
My uncle (Dad's older brother) and aunt were writers. She was a really good friend who read my early work and gave me good advice. I loved her but did not like him, even before he killed her. He was always an entitled jerk, jealous of her talent and bitter about his own lack of success, but I have always thought he killed her to prevent her leaving with the kids. When he killed her my Dad told the police where to find the body. There was a short list of places they had gone during childhood. The murder destroyed our family, and now our cousins will not even speak to us. It hurts that my mentor's children do not know how much I loved her.
A friend of mine lost her best friend/childhood friend when that friends ex murdered her. Beat her to death. I knew the guy in passing, when they were together. He always struck me as a dong. He pissed off the wrong person in prison, and got himself killed by another inmate. My friend legitimately celebrated when she heard.
its interesting how most of the time the people that knew the murderer are like "i cant believe he would do something like this." when other times there are serial killers that obviously were going to grow up to do something horrible and nobody does anything to prevent it.
I also went to middle and high school with a guy who ended up stabbing an older man multiple times who lived down my street. Look up Xavier Camper, IL. He used to bring razor blades to school, was put in the "emotionally disturbed" class and attempted to cut a "permanent" smile into his face; there was blood everywhere, but he was disarmed before being able to do major damage. He bragged about blowing up his pet hamster in the microwave, and had the pictures to prove it (he was suspended for a while, over a week). This was just in middle school. In high school he was a vicious abuser who would often turn violent, and had a decent stack of restraining orders against him for beating the shit out of his partners. He would always go crazy whenever they would try to leave him, acting out in the hallways of the high school before he dropped out. He didn't even care that everyone knew he was an abuser, but he loved that everyone felt he was dangerous. He worked at Toys R Us with my best friend, and customers would constantly report a suspicious looking man, sometimes mentioning a foul odor. My friend would then have to tell them that the suspicious looking man was their coworker. One time, a third coworker from Toys R Us was giving my friend a ride, and they saw that he was walking under the summer sun in his trademark trenchcoat to his shift. The third coworker, not knowing his past, decided to give him a lift the rest of the way to work. When he got in the car, he reeked of body odor but something else as well. When my friend described that it was almost sickly sweet, I knew it was the smell of death. A few years later, someone called the police when they saw a young man covered in blood, sitting on the ground. He did this on the corner of my block. He was just five houses down from mine, drenched in blood while I was peacefully sleeping. The cops caught him walking to another person's house, as he planned to kill them as well. He got on the phone with this person while the older man was still alive, asking for help. He hung up, and then called back after finishing the job. Thankfully, another person was at his next intended victim's house who had called the police while the killer was talking over Facetime. All the audio from the FaceTime call was heard on the operator's end of the phone, and he managed to record video of the FaceTime as well.
My dad was friends with a woman in Tennessee while there for college and they decided if they didn’t have anyone to date in a few years they would start dating. She murdered her husband. Her name is Mary winkler
The first one is kind of sad... he probably needed help and he was aware of something wrong by sounds of it :( poor guy was labelled and booked.. no real help out there when people admit some dark things... i kinda feel for him
My neighbors. A lovely young couple Sam and Emily. The moved into the farm next to ours and came to introduce themselves not long after. Nice people, friendly, had an awesome dinner party and I was delighted to have neighbors for the first time in ages since the house had been vacant for years. 2 years go by and the house suddenly goes up in a blaze overnight, destroys everything but sam and emily are okay so no one is too panicked. Fire dept says the fire was not a natural fire, that it seemed like it was started on purpose. Police say arson from a grumpy drug addict who lives down the road and move on. Sam Says its unfortunate, but they move into their barn for a while to rebuild and life goes on. Several months later cops surround the house and bring sam out in handcuffs. Turns out he and an accomplice had murdered 2 of his brothers and his sister (none of whom we had ever heard of) and tried to kill his 1 remaining brother. They can't prove Emily was involved even though it's very obvious she was so shes still living next to us in her barn. Every time I look in that direction I wonder if they burned their house down on purpose and what they had been hiding in it.
It is still quite recent so a rather sensitive topic, but I was classmates with a him for 3 years before he did it (class of 25 ppl so quite close knit yk). First year he was very rude to everyone, extremely standoffish, called me stupid first week of school lol. Anyways when he realized no one ever tried being mean to him he tried to change, he was still weird n rude (quite annoying tbh) but nice kinda. He’d always come up to me to talk, ask about my weekend or other things. But there were always underlying problems, such as casual transphobia, islamophpbia and such. He was aggressive but never violent until it happened, he’d slam tables and chairs when things didn’t go his way, mumble about humans needing to die, he talked A LOT about school shootings. We all sort of saw it coming but also didn’t. I’m still half in denial, doesn’t completely feel real. The two victims were fantastic people and I was glad I was given the privilege of knowing them, they did not in any way deserve what happened. It’s all strange, hard to explain
A good friend of mine got involved with drugs and ended up stealing some money from an elderly neighbor woman. He beat her to death when she confronted him about it. Got the death penalty, but that was changed to life without parole. Been in 28 years so far. His mind is gone now.
The kid came from an awful home. Reeked of cigarettes, parents were always abusive (to each other and him). Acted nice when my parents were looking but was violent otherwise. Didn’t surprise me at all. Stabbed his dad in the chest when he was 10 because his dad dared him to.
There was a guy in my high school graduating class who kidnapped, raped, then killed a convenience store clerk. The victim's daughter must have had a good idea of who did it, because she actually got him to leave his footprint behind, which was partly how the police nailed him. He went to state prison and I don't know if he ever got out. The strange thing was, no one in my class knew him personally.
I lived next door to a kid who was slightly older than me, maybe 3 years. Have came over and played on our trampoline all the time and his cousin would come over sometimes too. After they moved 3-4 families cycled through the house and I forgot about him. 3 years ago, my mom sent me a Facebook post, he had killed his girlfriends newborn because he didn’t think it was his and he was mad. It was his.
Not a murderer exactly, but I knew a particular guy in grade school who bullied me constantly and was one of biggest reasons I was attempted to be home/online schooled instead. For some reason I felt the need to be the better person years later, just short of age 18 I think, and tried to talk to him to sort of "show that I changed" or something like that. Found out back in 2018 that not only were he and a friend of his charged and arrested for arson and endangerment, but his friend was apparently having a relationship with a minor in the family that they set fire to their house (it was a grudge-fueled arson). I stopped trying to get in contact after that, and I realized how deeply disturbed he really was and that elementary/middle school was just the early signs of that. It's honestly depressing.
A cousin of mine-who didn’t find out we were cousins by marriage until my uncle died- shot and killed two of our classmates execution style then attempted to cut up and their bodies when we were 15. The area he lived at the soil was mostly clay and it was a hot summer so it had baked and was basically impossibly to dig up by hand. Kids he killed were 13 and 17 they were growing pot together and the other kids decided to take their plants and dip he decided when he was walking back with them that he wanted to keep said plants. Even wrote a stupid little rap about it and got himself 25 years in prison, he was showing kids as well and one kid came forward luckily but only because he knew the family and watching her beg on the news for her son was too much for him. His grandfather also let the police use his place when they were searching. There’s also rumors that it wasn’t their weed, they stumbled upon an illegal grow that local cops were doing and, they found the bodies quick but had to clean up cause there was a huge fire in that area the week they went missing as well, doesn’t matter two kids still died. One of his other friends was deemed an accomplice because he tried helping him bury the bodies I guess, It was also reported he mutilated their genitals. Before this all went down he was a sweet kid had a little trouble at school smoked pot, but a good kid no one in our family though that he was going to be the problem his older brother yeah definitely but not him. He had blonde flippy hair, blue eyes and dimples was compared to briber when they reported on it in court. Seeing all 4 of them missing from the halls of school that next year was a lot. Changed the community free programs were started to hopefully keeps kids off the street, after school music art sports and food stuffs it was terrible it took a tragic event like that to make a positive change on my hometown but…
My sister had a friend in school who tried to kill his family. He lured the dad and his sister to another friend's house in the country shot both of them 😬 They survived. He shot himself 😬 The end.
I had a friend. Who is a pretty nice normal person. No indication that he was an evil person at all. He name was Patrick I believe. From Prescott az. The police found a old woman who was murdered. The person stole her car. They found Patrick in the car and later arrested him in connection to the murder. I found him. His name is Patrick Williams from Chino Valley Arizona. It seems he that he's now in the Arizona State Hospital.
I come from Denmark. We have since 1992 had around 37 murders pr year, so all these stories about knowing someone who have killed someone is hard to understand. At the same time life in prison is 16 years - but some few get a sentence where they after 16 years every 5 years can get the sentence prolonged, but it is very few. The one who has been locked up the longest is a cop killler. I can not remember how Long he has been sitting, but it is over 30 years, but we do not have many of that kind of sentences. Sorry for bad english
Your English isn't bad at all! It's very good I had no problem understanding what you were saying! Thank you for the info. I live here in the USA and it's interesting to see how different things are in other countries.
I knew a woman who was as sweet as she could be. She killed her husband after she found out he was cheating on her. No one who knew her could believe it.
It was my uncle. He shot and killed hi wife because he was on drugs and suspected her of cheating, which she wasn't. He turned himself in after he'd shot her. It was really sad because my uncle was a really funny guy and one of my favorites. I miss him and my aunt so much.
I was in 10th grade and they were two brothers that just graduated high school and and 20 y.o. from the city. They robbed the convenience store and the owner was killed. He was shot by the 20 y.o. All three went to prison. The shooter got life. The brothers got 25 years and were locked up together. One brother was attacked and the other brother killed the attacker so he got life but the other brother got 10 years added ang got out recently and he was older but not hardened by his experience. He was humble, considerate, educated and productive. When he went in it was 1986 or so. Think about the changes from 1986 to 2016. It's a different world.
I knew a murderer. I played football with him in high school. He was always an instigator but for the most part he was ok. Around a year ago, Me and my friends found out that he stabbed his ex to death as she was starting her new career (She had only started work maybe a week or so before she was killed) She also had his kids and now they have no parents because of his actions. I think he got 25 to life. I don’t feel sorry for him. He deserves it but me and my friends were talking and we were thinking that we never thought he could be a murderer but here we are
Polite, a little shy, good with outdoorsy work. He loved my dog Daisy, but she had mixed feelings about him, which was odd because she usually loves people. I guess dogs CAN smell evil.
I've mentioned this before on other askreddit posts about "did you know someone who committed a crime" videos and such. Guy I went to elementary and middle school with is serving a life sentence for murdering a 14 year old girl in 2000 and dumping her body behind a Pizza Hut. Said guy was also a bad kid in school, and it was not a well kept secret he had a bad home life.
The lady who used to cut my hair when I was a kid, my neighbor, killed her baby. Left it locked in her car in the driveway overnight when it was a 110 degree summer. She did maybe 5 years in prison....I wrote 3 bad checks on myself and pulled 3, but anyway the justice system is broken it's a total money racket. My first boyfriend was murdered about 25 years ago right out of HS. They say was a drug deal gone bad. Slit his throat, never been caught. Another classmate in HS was dumped out of a car in a ditch after an overdose, the ppl who left him got 25 to life, one of them was a close friend. She had gotten into drugs so bad and ruined her life at 25 😞
I knew a guy in my grade who strangled his girlfriend - who was 2 years younger and wanted to break up with him - to death not that long after he graduated from high school, then self-deleted (I think with a rope). Dude was one of the "don't trust the quiet ones" type. While he never really did anything to me (lots of the other kids picked on me), I got a bad vibe from him. Something wasn't right with that kid. This happened in the mid 1990s.
A reminder that the most dangerous point in a relationship for most women is when they try to leave. Abusers can tell when you’re planning to leave and will absolutely kill you for it. Stay safe, notify others, and stay away from your abuser no matter what they pretend they have over you.
@@mx.viscera2247 The thing was, this girl was living in a cottage on the same property as her parents' house. That's where he strangled her. The parents found her later. I think she was like 17 or 18.
I know 4 murderers personally. 1. First person is my cousin. She didn’t directly murder, but set up her brother to get him killed in front of her. She’s the worst person I’ve ever met in my life. She’s not in jail. 2. Second person was my friends baby daddy. He was doing a drive by & ended up murdering a 7 year old girl. He’s not in jail. 3. My ex best friend, his gf, his brother, & their friend murdered a 17 year old 3 years ago. I actually talked to him a week before the murder and was planning an outing. They are more likely going to jail. They were arrested & spent a year in jail before they have to go to court. 4. One of my friends recently confessed to me that he has murdered a few people. I’ve known him since he was 18 & never thought this is how he would end up. He’s definitely an alcoholic & I think he was trynna smash on me, but I ended up cutting him off. Very discreetly. He’s not in jail & never was caught.
There was a guy I went to the same school with called Adam O Keefe (Type his name in and news articles will come up), I never liked him, he seemed very aggressive, calling people names and trying to start fights all the time, one time he wanted to fight me but I told him my aunt had cancer at the time and he left me be. He later got expelled from my school before he reached 5th Year, I heard he was in and out of homes, shelters and hostels, then heard he murdered his girlfriend. He'd watch films like "Green Street" when he was way too young and just seemed like a detestable person who'd take no responsibility for anything. Apparently his brother committed suicide when he was young and that seemed to impact him greatly, he went to rehab at one point too but seemed no matter how much people tried to help him that guy was way too far gone
My dumb ass read the title as “People Who Were Murdered Before They Died” and for a second I was very confused- Edit: Might as well add my own story to this. I knew four; my aunt (paid someone to “accidentally” hit her ex with a car), my aunt’s wife (took away aunt’s oxygen machine and suffocated her), my current neighbor (he beat a guy to death with a bat after the guy got mad at him for catcalling his girlfriend), and my now ex-stepfather (assaulted and k!lled a 16 year old girl).
I played hockey for years with an old friend and We hungout occasionally when we were younger. my brother and his brother were friends as well. We ended up going to different highschools and we drifted apart. He started abusing alcohol and one day got into an argument while drunk, took his rifle outside in the dark to shoot some things, ended up shooting at a car and killing some random guy. He went to prison for life. Turns out the "random guy" was actually my 9th grade art teacher and those 2 had no connections to each other
My next door neighbor murdered his landlord. His son was my best friend as a young child from like.. ages 3-8. His house got repossessed after he couldn't pay the property taxes and the guy let him stay there so long as he paid rent. One night he invited him over I think to collect his money and the neighbor and his brother tied him up and beat him with a baseball bat. Before that he would just always be outside playing basketball or cooking on the grill. Real nice guy. He'd always say hello and would strike up a conversation. I've been in his house too. Never once felt threatened or any bad vibes. But like.. damn.. Goes to show how easy it is for your life to flip upside-down.
Okay so basically this was in like 2014, it was middle school and I went to school with this one kid. I never really paid much attention to him, but we were chill. Years later I found out he shot 2 people in a robbery.
4:37 Dude...you don't understand the con-game that modern dating is. For many guys, the "play" is to make yourself look the best you can until you can convince her to sleep with you. Once she has those pair-bonding hormones flowing through her, that's when you tell her how big of a piece of shit you are and she just accepts (or denies) it because she's already "selected" you. This is why I'm single; because I put the brakes on things getting intimate until I can tell her about my flaws. Now; there's other reason that could end things rather than just my flaws (like she could feel rejected and then wants to get away from the embarrassing situation), but I decided LOOOONG ago I wouldn't be intimate with a woman unless she knew who I was. Went in with her eyes open. Anything less just isn't fair to her. And even after 20 years of loneliness, that's just one principal I can't break. I could be doing harm to another person. And after all my years of selfishness, the only way to atone for it (if there is a way), is to put others before myself.
I hate that what you said is true about most heterosexual marriages I've seen. Guy is a total a$$, woman is either too blind to see or too afraid to leave. And not a modern thing apparently. Seen it in plenty of older couples.
Didn’t turn into a murder but one of my classmates in grade 3, burnt down his house. It was in the local newspaper and he didn’t show up to school for quite a long time. I’m 26 now so quite awhile go.
Back towards my house we had an Italian restaurant run by this couple, and was actually quite good. We went often enough that they knew us by our order name. Very close to the murder she did start to act a little different for sure. Now I was 13 at the time, but I could pick up on the fact that something was wrong. A few days later I found out she had shot her husband (the other owner of the restaurant) and buried his body in their backyard after st@bbing him. My entire family was shocked, as we live in a wealthier town, so it was shocking. The restaurant of course closed since neither could work there anymore, but it definitely was quite interesting.
Had an interaction with a murderer before he became a murderer. He was already showing red flags way before he murdered anyone. He was a drug addict and quite aggressive in my opinion, I looked at him because he was literally drawing attention to himself, he then told me: "What are you looking at?!". Of course, I said "nothing" out of pure intimidation and fear and went to school. I later found out a year later that he killed and young lad of my ethnic group after the boy tried to stop from seriously hurting an elderly woman, he still did hurt her and she was in critical condition.
A former co-worker of mine shot his wife during an argument about dishes while going through a divorce. He had retired a couple of years prior to this. He found that the money saved for their retirement was not there, she had lied to him about what she did with all the money. This guy was a GS-13 at FAA in Alaska, and he made a really good salary while she stayed home being the home manager, cook, house wife things. They had a lot of rental property. He received a 99 year sentence, a virtual life sentence because he was late 60s early 70s. I never thought that he was capable of the murder because he was always so smart about the job. There was a witness to the whole thing, wife had gone over with a girl friend and he tried to kill her too. You never know what is in someones mind. You never know what will make them just snap.
The older brother to a classmate of mine killed a woman and then SA the body. I knew him and he was always kinda weird and a little bit of a smartass but I didn't expect... THAT.
I am very good at reading people and I have a list of people I went to high school with who I think will either murder, r@pe, or become an abuser. The r@pist hasn't r@ed yet, but I still expect him to. There is a woman beater/murderer who has abused, but not killed yet. There are two I expect to murder and I feel like one problem has and I just haven't heard about it. There are two people on the list that have murdered. I've been out of high school less than two years so given time I'm sure I'll be right. To answer the question I am not at all surprised they killed. I feel bad for the victims because the victims are young people too. It's important to stay away from people who give off bad vibes, these people gave me bad vibes and I'm pretty accurate so far.
My father is an only child so he's very close with his distant cousins (his distant aunt's two sons) and the younger of the two stabbed the older one in front of his wife and toddler. (The blood even sprayed on the kid's body) then ran away from home. Their father never reported him because of what people would say about their family apparently. And anyways I never really liked the lot of them. The 2 brother's mother got caught with some pretty suspicious stuff related to black magic before all this and we heard that she now helps him to stay hidden in her house (their parents were divorced way long ago and she's still single) The one who stabbed, my uncle, was actually a pretty bright person with a lovely golden retriever and a girlfriend. I don't know what went wrong in his life for him to end up like this
I recently come out of prison. I was in school with a man in there who I went to school with who murdered someone. I always knew he'd end up in prison. Just a ticking time bomb
I was sitting at a table with friends one morning, and one mentioned there were heaps of cop cars outside one of our dairies. We all said oh no hope they are ok. The male owner was very nice (so we thought), we sent our kids to him for bread and milk etc. We all said I hope he hasn't been robbed again. I had had a great laugh just prior with him over a joke he had with my son. Turned out he had killed his wife with a baseball bat.Turns
When i was younger sometimes i would go to this fitness discipline type gym hosted by the local police department . They had a boxing program and most boxers have to start at the fitness class first before boxing. This one guy i talked to while he was in the fitness class . He would wear sweaty ripped shirts and was a little overweight then. Over the years after he started boxing he became fit, had a lot of friends, a glow up. You could tell he was just too popular to even talk to me lol. I would hear ppl at my school talk about him while he went to a neighboring school. He shot a 16 year old in his apartment parking lot with two other friends. He was 17 and i suspect it was drug or money related since he would just hang out with that type of crowd
I was told of an uncle of my dad’s and how he dated a crappy woman with a crappy daughter that treated his own daughters badly (first wife died of stroke). Years ago the step-daughter killed her own child and tried to hide the body. She is still locked up, my family thinks that my dad’s uncle was involved in hiding the body but there is no proof. The uncle was a piece of shit alcoholic who stole my dad’s business from us and we didn’t fight back because we didn’t want to risk how he would retaliate. Contact was cut off before the murder happened.
I knew somebody, (not well mind you) who I later found out had been arrested and charged with murder. They were Jewish and believed in the racial superiority of their people and killed somebody over it. I couldn't quite believe how mad of a reason that was to kill. I think most of them are like that though.
Guy I worked with, partied with, killed his best friend and ex wife one night. They all lived together in a house with his twin daughters. One day after work, a friend and I went and got some stuff to party, went to our friend's house and his ex said he was out looking for us. We went back to my place and found a beer can in the yard. Was told he came by with a cousin looking for us. We went to back to his house, arriving the the same time as the cops. He had walked in while his wife was on the phone, shot her in the eye. Then drove a large knife through her head into the floor. His best friend was found shot in the eye on the couch, a large screwdriver through his other eye. His cousin helped him hide the evidence. Then turned around and told the police exactly what happened, where the gun and bloody clothing was. Our friend got 2 life sentences. No idea what happened to him. The cousin was psychotic, and I still think he did the crime.
I had a one-nightstand with one. He wasn't Totally my type but he wasn't bad-looking, his mischievous smile, shrewd intelligence and Devilish sense of humor were the things that made it fun. I didn't exactly expect to hear heads or tails from him again, but fast forward several months and bam - not only was he on trial for murdering a 19 year old, I had to find this out from the News. Kid's body was dumped somewhere on the east side after being shot repeatedly at close range. An examiner determined that most of the shots were flesh wounds, so he felt ALL of them before the killshot, That, along with the prosecutor being Adamant that his history of ruining chances with violent behavior was Indisputable Proof he is a sociopath and a danger to society, is probably why he was sentenced to 99 years with No chance of parole. I know the kid did something stupid involving drugs that pissed him off, but he didn't deserve that. It boggles my mind that I slept with his killer. I stared at his mugshot for awhile and I could not find a soul in those eyes. Dark and empty chasms. No remorse.
In my brothers last year of high school, I would always say hello to this guy that picked up his girlfriends son while I was picking up my brother. Turns out the son and my brother were class mates and friends. Two months before graduation this kid just stops coming to school. Turns out that that friendly guy had beaten my brothers friend and his mother unconscious, lit their house on fire, then stole the car. According to the police report that you can read online, the two died of smoke inhalation.
3:55 The story: about some kid killing his dad and driving around town with his dead body tied to a pick-up truck The music: Opening surprise kinder eggs videos background music
Me and my girl friends where friends with a group of boys, we were all 14-16 years old. The boys grew up in a bad area and had got into gangs, selling drugs and carrying knives (I’m from London so this is not rare) One day they stabbed an innocent young boy to death, he wasn’t even involved in that life he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, they definitely done it to try show off who was the ‘baddest’. There was posters all over the neighbourhood for a while offering £25000 for any information , they were never even all caught in the end Edit: weirdly enough I recently saw a news article saying that they have all been caught and sentenced to life in prison, however this is the UK so they can be out in less than 20 years
Idk any murderers but my aunts family has had their eyes on her stepson. He used to kill small animals for no reason and had some mental health issues that made him dangerous to live with since my aunt was taking care of two small grandchildren. Idk where he is atm but I think he wears getting help at a mental institution or something
The guy i told in another video about my dad in his hometown finding he unwilling was use as an alibi for a friend of him getting rid of the abusive step-father of his now friend's wife. My dad confessed to my mom under alcohol influence and when it was sobber as if he made a huge mistake and never told anyone about it. This was when he was 16 ... now he is 59. My mom got upset more for another shit, but when my dad open up about this situation, kinda like "understand why". My dad doesn't know the details at all but only what his friend told him. Aparently it went missing for 3 years and the guy date the girl for 6 year before marry. The mother didn't bat an eye because the guy was on retirement and she cash life insurance and a pension from retirement money too, so she literally told it was probably shoot by local drug goons (partially true because one of the relatives of my dad's friend was into ... illegal stuffs too) since his temper was always bad and come forward with "the abuse", of course a lie because she enabled it to her daughter and make a deal with her if she stay silent (money and let her date my dad's friend). A little investigation was held but nobody came at all either as suspect and it was pending investigation.
Unfortunately knew 3 people that murdered. One was an incel. Look up Landis Casner in Texas and boom, I believe it was at a college if I remember correctly. Another guy, whose name escapes me, punched his toddler son in the chest so hard it killed the child. The last I knew was a guy named Logan, killed his mother and was caught walking across town to kill his uncle. The last two were in and around Edwardsville, Illinois.
First hearing about a murder immediately I think is it an actual murder case or another case of injustice, when someone correctly kills in self defense or a child molester? A grown up version of Zero Tolerance.
How do ppl know so many murderers , i was told my stepmom killed someone back in Germany but i dont know if its true or just some of the weird things my dad would say
A classmate and a decent friend of mine went on to murder someone 9ish years after we had parted ways. Although it wasnt intentional. But he did instigate it. Him and a few friends were standing and blocking the doors to a takeaway. An old man wanted to get by, an argument broke out. He punched the man. Unfortunately he passed away due to his head hitting the concrete. He was a good kid. Used to talk about fallout new Vegas and had just started getting into MMA.
He can't be that good if he punches an old man just because he doesn't want to take two steps to the side so the guy can get through the door. Sounds to me like he was a thug and you're only defending him because you knew him personally
The first one I knew was ok. Nothing to remarkable about him when I knew him. Couldn’t believe the news at first when I read his name ( 5years later) Second seemed like a normal but slightly dodgy guy, but found out about 6 months after we lost touch what had happened when police came calling. So glad I avoided them after a while
