Sick Killer Was CAUGHT by the Victim’s Brother | Lea Porter 

Let’s give it up for Max. Not just for beating the crap out of his sisters murderer. But for keeping his composure long enough (no I understand, keep going buddy, it’s okay, it’s okay) to get a confession out before going at him. 10/10 across the board 👏 👏 👏

"He seems like he just walked out of a Limp Bizkit concert in 1997" 😂😂😂. Mike, you have done it again 👏👏👏👏

The brother is remarkable, he handled that so well and kept pushing at the right moments to break him down, building his confidence, convincing him of the things he needed to hear just to get him to confess. I can't imagine the strength that took, and I can completely understand why he got his punches in after. I hope they find her.

How Max can be so calm and reassuring-even apologized for interrupting Chris’ story-is an amazing testimony to a brother’s love for and loss of his baby sister. That Max leaped over the table to pummel Chris is sad satisfaction. Rest In Peace, Lea. Godspeed Max.

The brother pleading for a confession in the park was heartbreaking.

Max is the best brother a gal could ask for. He had her back, even after her death. My heart goes out to the whole family.

Man…. The brother calling him “buddy” and “sir”, even apologizing for interrupting while trying to seem friendly to get answers about what he did to his sister must have felt so sickening to have to do. Recording the convo was so smart

I love that the brother wasn't charged with assault. Imagine if Chris had tried pressing charges. The cops would've "lost" the paperwork and let him go laughing the whole time.

Can you imagine trying to get the murderer of your loved one to confess but in the process you have to call that monster "Buddy" and treat him like a friend? The love he felt for his sister is the only thing that could give him that strength. It really sucks the killer lied about where to find the body. I hope one day the brother's strength and patience is rewarded and his sister body is returned to her family.

Max is a hero. The best brother ever. Rip Lea ❤

"I was playing the part of a concerned friend" THAT'S how he was able to get Lea to come to his house! Just for that brief second when he spoke those words, his mask slipped and we saw the real side of nut job. Gave me chills the moment he said that.

Hearing Max beg Chris to tell him, you can hear the pain in his voice. The calmness before the confession, then the rage. Being a younger brother I can only imagine the anger and the sorrow he’s experiencing. I’m going to call my sister and tell her I love her right now.

I can’t believe the military dumped Chris back into society without some kind of repercussions for trying to kidnap the young woman. It could have saved Lea’s life.

I am so glad channels are doing Lea's case. And I know I will be called out here, but my oldest son and Lea were friends. Fremont county is tiny, and they were sandbox kids. She grew up in Cotopaxi with my kids and Cotopaxi is even smaller. She was a brilliant girl. Her mom is an amazing woman, and her brother so misses her, we all do. Thank you Mike.

We've just had Lyn's Law passed in Australia, in honour of Lynnette Dawson, (Please cover this case one day, Mike; her killer has just been brought to justice). Lyn's Law is 'No Body, No Parole.' It's a great idea.

Wow. His nonchalant way of saying he dropped her IN A DUMPSTER left me with my mouth open. Her poor brother. He did so good. What a hero. I’m sure she is looking down on him.

My heart was breaking for Max, hearing the pain in his voice, trying to hold his emotions in check to get to the truth. He couldn't be there for his sister but he was determined to get her killer, he was a big brother to the end.

I was completely overwhelmed listening to Max beg and plead for his sister’s location…omigosh. Nobody should have to lose a sister to tragedy, let alone have to beg the person responsible for her murder to find her! My heart is shattered for them. What a monster 💔😞

The world needs more Max's out there. That picture of him with his sis when they were kids (3:00) is the most moving thing in this story and then how he traveled home to look for her, found the killer and forced a confession out of him. I pray my kids keep a strong bond with each other like that as they grow. Max, if you read this, so sorry for your loss, bro.

The brother, Max, is an amazing sibling to pressure Chris into giving a confession even the cops couldn't get. But, props to the officers who were apparently watching while Max got a confession and let him get some good punches in before interfering. I hope they find her body and the family can get the closure they deserve. 💜

I was homeless in my early 20s…and there is always a guy like Christopher Waide. Eager to help. But there’s always a price. I am so sorry that Lea paid with her life. I pray her family finds her so they are able to give her a proper burial. May she rest in Power and Peace. 🕊 The amount of control it took for her brother to call Waide “SIR” and treat him with such respect in order to get the confession… HE IS A HERO

Max is the kind of family member you want. He's loyal, constant and absolutely amazing. The love I feel for this guy he never gave up and that's just amazing. His sister loved him in life and loved him in death. He is an absolute credit to her.

That's amazing that they found her phone (14:29) and other stuff. Incredible investigative work! Hats off to the people who had to undoubtedly search for hours through all of that garbage. Condolences to all of Lea's family.

Max is amazing. We spent the better part of two weeks with Max and family combing the Cotopaxi area in places we thought she might be. This whole thing was a nightmare. I know he misses her tremendously. Thanks for covering this story. Its one I've been waiting for. wish I would have seen it earlier.

My heart broke hearing her brother pleading for her whereabouts. Max is an amazing brother.

When he said, "Just tell me where she is," and Chris responded with, "I'll get to that," before continuing his story, I was so impressed with Max's ability to restrain himself, just long enough to get the confession. What a senseless tragedy and immeasurable loss for her family.

"I wouldn't drink anything he gave me". I know this story is anything but funny, but Mikey has a great way of taking the worst of the sting out. Love ya Mikey 💜

Land Fills can be filled with bodies we had a woman here who was killed put in a dumpster ended up in a landfill her body was never found. Rest in Peace Lea. Sorry for the families loss..

That was heart-wrenching hearing Max beg and plead with his sister's killer for her whereabouts. Only the love he had for her could've possibly given him the strength and patience to do that.

I can only imagine what Max went through. How he must have felt. That must have been heartbreaking.

its so uncomfortable watching his tension with the sighing and facial expressions, you can just tell he's a creep. this one just hits home for me for some reason...it makes me realize how many dangerous situations i put myself in at that age, like, this could have been me so easily. seeing the little owl stickers on her phone case made it too sad...she was sweet. rip lea.

Holy shit. Hearing him confess to max was heartbreaking. Everyone needs a family member like max

As heartbreaking as it was hearing him confess to her brother. Hearing him be able to get some hits in gave me so much relief. I pray that it helped even slightly give him a little closure.

So very heartbreaking 💔 the state I live in has just passed a law saying that if someone is found guilty of murder, and they don't reveal where the body of the victim is, it's life without parole, and so it should be 🌹

Our justice system is so screwed up. These plea deals just to get a convection blows my mind. I wouldn't have gave him shit unless he told where the body was. How unfair for the family. My heart breaks for them.

😢 I think he chose the dumpster claim because what he really did with her body is beyond horrific and he can't face the truth

If he did in fact have help from a friend with a van in disposing of her body, then the words he spoke during that interview take on a whole new level of significance. Him saying he's loyal to his friend could be interpreted as a coded message that he wouldn't turn his friend in, so they shouldn't turn him in.

Max is an absolute badass. To hold yourself together while looking that piece of crap in the eye knowing he did it just long enough for him to confess is just insane and admirable. And he made sure to get his licks in too. He had her back all the way to the end

I can feel in big bro’s voice his internal struggle to keep it calm and get a confession. His blood was boiling at that point, but still managed to get the scumbag to talk before jumping that table and beating the crap out of him. A man to look up to.

The recording with the brother is absolutely heartbreaking 😭💔 I'm happy she got justice.

That brother... Was using his absolute whole power inside of him to not beat the living crap out of the guy whilst he was questioning him in the beginning. So much you can even hear his voice shaking as he's trying to sound calm. Poor guy.

I wouldn't normally condone violence, or the cops letting other people do their job, but hats off to the cops for deservedly letting Max beat the sh*t out of Chris then forcing him to confess in a 911 call so it was admissible in court.Once again great content @thatchapter !!!

The thing about moving to a new place to "start fresh" is that you are still the same person with thr same problems . Wherever you go, there you are!

It would be so hard to sit across from my siblings murderer & call them “buddy” & pretend to be their friend knowing they killed my sibling. The time it takes to befriend people is so hard & to have to sit there & fake friendship with them & fake showing them respect.. I feel so bad for Lea’s brother but I know his sister Lea & her friends & her entire family is proud of him for not giving up on his sister & for being able to get her killer to confess.

If anything happened to my brother I don't think I'd be able to handle myself the ways Max did... He's such a good man, I wish him the best life possible and to find peace somehow

Thanks for 5 years, Mike! I think I got the date right as it's my dogs birthday. He watches with me and is ridiculously happy when he meets an Irish stranger.

Could have been my sister’s story, except in Marysville, Washington State. I thank the powers-to-be that we traveled there to get her before she ended up dead. That was 12 years ago and the guy ended his next relationship by drowning his gf in Puget Sound. If family even suspect their loved one is in trouble, chances are their loved one is very much in jeopardy. Trust your intuition.

The fact that he didn't get life is truly sickening 😤

This family is shattered. Losing Lea to this psycho is gut wrenching. Max showed strength beyond description while interrogating Chris and getting him to confess. I hope the family finally is able to bring Lea home for burial. God Bless them.

Ah, my hometown. I remember this case. We have a lot of really strange crimes and a very, very low solve rate with absolute shit police. I literally grew up going to the church right across the street from Chris's apartment complex. It's so sad that her brother had to do pretty much everything to solve his sister's case on his own.

I think this is the first case you've covered that I can't finish. It's just too sickening to hear that man outright lie to this poor woman's brother, to try to blame her for her own murder.. All while the brother clearly holds back. It's just too much. I wish I could have reached through the recording and done what the brother was gentle enough not to act on. God gave that man patience in abundance.

Leas brother is incredible. I don’t think I could be so calm and collected whilst hearing the story of how my sister was killed. I hope they eventually find Leas body and her family can find the closure they so truly deserve.

Lea’s brother is an absolute champion. My heart goes out to all of the family, friends and loved ones but especially him. To have that much dedication to his sister and to have that much restraint while dealing with that scumbag …

It's a tragic story and sad but what an awesome brother for bringing her killer down. 👇 He truly loved her no matter what. There's nothing more important than family. I hope they find her body someday.

I love how the brother wouldnt give up & dragged the truth out of this piece of human garbage! Sending ❤ to the family & all affected by this tragedy xx

Max - you're the best brother anyone could ever hope to have. You are one strong human - I admire your patience & composure, you did your sister real justice by doing what you did. Some people have detectives & police that take years, while the families suffer & never get closure. You are the goat, Lea is very proud. She is now your guardian angel, looking down on you. Cherish the memories, remember the good times & try to keep your head up - she wouldn't want you to be sad & suffering. Take care & be safe out there. You are a hero to a lot of people, whether you know it or not. xo

This case was so sad it made me cry. Hearing her brothers voice knowing the pain he endured just to get a confession from Chris just heart wrenching . Regardless of having an addiction it in no way equated she was just garbage like he treated her. She was so young .. so tragic. Chris saw his opportunity because she was at a weak point and he took full advantage. I hope he gets what he deserves in the afterlife since he was able to get a plea deal . Sick ass man who is evil .

That her brother Max was able to do what he did is absolutely incredible. I lost my little sister to a car accident but I sincerely double I could have managed the self restraint and control to find her killer that Max maintained for as long as he did to gain the confession of the monster that obviously stole her life. I just hope he lying about the dumpster, if she is in a landfill it's unlikely the family will ever get the closure they need and deserve. He gives me the willies, I am so impressed Max was able to befriend him (it) and manipulate him without vomiting or just outright killing him! Max did what the detectives couldn't, well done Max, still looking out for his little sister.

My son and daughter have a bond this strong. I have no relationship at all with my own brother, so it is one of the things that I am extremely grateful for in this life, that they have each other. Max, you are a hero.

Shout out to the cops on-site that let max get in a little revenge before arresting Chris

When people are lying, they give themselves up in a million ways they don’t even realise When Chis said “I was playing the part of the concerned friend”, he says a hell of a lot more than he realises For instance, he’s just admitted he’s ‘playing the part of’ a concerned friend and is not actually a concerned friend. This is also what he’s doing in the interview: playing a part Of course, he instantly follows that up by admitting she’s no longer around by talking about her in the past tense

Listening to Max was heartbreaking he obviously was very close to his sister and that peace of garbage Chris took that away.

thank you for bringing awareness to this case Mike, this is one ive not heard of before and it needs awareness because she hasn't been found until this very day. super sad this one almost had me in tears! I even google searched it for more info. this one hits close to my heart because my little brother and only sibling was registered as a missing person June 2nd of 2019, so ive literally walked in the same shoes a Lea's brother Max. except my nightmare over the whereabouts of my little bro came to an end two years after he was reported missing. in fact his whereabouts were not known for 2 years almost to the day he- well his bones were found in a thick stretch of woods on the north edge of the town just north of where we grew up. we'll never know exactly what happened but I still feel so fortunate just for the fact that we were able to bring him home and lay him to rest 💙. Rest In Peace little bro 💝 it's likely that he od'd probably accidentally but possibly his death couldve been intentional as well. at the very least I don't believe he died in those woods, it's likely that he od'd while in the company of some "friends" and was dumped there after the fact. but these are the types of questions we won't get the answers to unless pieces of the truth happen to come out the wash years down the road. even with everything I still feel like one of the lucky ones- how many out there have a loved one turned up missing? thousands in our country alone. and how many of those missing people are actually found? a very small percentage. at least now I have a slight idea about what actually happened but a slight idea's worth of answers is a heck of alot more answers than most families get! Rest In Peace Beautiful Lea Porter. Max and Renee im so sorry for your loss I hope and pray you will find some peacein regard to your loss and even that you'll find her soon!!

My heart breaks for that family, especially her brother. That man showed so much strength and restraint.

What an amazing brother. I think it’s great that the police watching, let the brother beat that pos. It’s terrible that Lea hasn’t been found 😭

I can’t even imagine losing my little sister. But then to have the composure to sit there and talk to the guy you know did something horrible to her. Max you are a champ and a great brother!

I'm really impressed of how many 911 calls Mike tracks down.

I've never seen someone lie so badly. That was hard to watch, he needed to sit down and shut up.

I feel so bad for Max. Hearing your sister’s murderer tell you how he did it is just crazy! I hope Max and his mom find peace. It must be heartbreaking all this time.

All I need every Friday is to hear you say "Let's give it a goo". Take care of yourself Mike, we love you!

I live in Westminster & I’ve never even heard of this case! Thank you for the coverage & recognizing the victims. You rock

This story is so tough. I think every girl has had a creepy Chris wade in her life, or at least on her social media. He is such a POS. Poor Lea was just lost and needed help and unfortunately she fell into this trap without a way out. God Bless her family.

Hey you! Ecstatic for the weekend and thrilled to give this a gooo!

Thank you so much for covering this story. She was the sweetest and most kind soul. She saved my life once. You always think “it’ll never happen to someone I know” but it can. It’s still painful to think about. I only knew her for a short period of time, but she was a lovely person and i miss her.

It’s so sad they never got to find the body….a brothers love is amazing in this story. The calmness to talking to your lil sisters killer and knowing he did it

Happy Birthday to one of my favorite storytellers! Cheers to another trip around the sun and many more to come! 🎉 🎈

Mike. You've consistently been posting quality videos for god knows how many years... And your sense of humor is top notch. Keep doing what you do man. Much love from.. Morocco!

It's always so sweet when Mike says he loves us. Makes me feel important.

I remember this case because of how his brother took him down. It was amazing how he remained calm. He really loved his sister.

Thank you for repping our Colorado!! Wish it was on better circumstances though. RIP to the victim.

I feel so bad for her brother, to have to befriend that POS just so he could get answers to what happen to his sister. For him to apologize to that creep to get him to talk. I’m sure he knew he wasn’t going to get all the answers he desperately needed to get to have monster arrested and pay for his sister death. I hope and pray him and his family find her and get some kind of peace.

Her poor brother... I couldn't imagine the amount of self control he had to exercise when he was sitting next to his sister's killer, while he spun his bullshit story making HIM out to be the victim, (he said she attacked him...) I could hear the heartbreak in his voice.. I hope her family finds peace..

Max did an amazing job sitting there calmly and managing to extract a confession from that vile pos. It seems like Chris is the type of offender that wants / needs to exert control - because he's such a loser in the rest of his life. By not disclosing the location of Lea's body he is in effect keeping her for himself, maintaining his control of both Lea and her family, forever. He is a sick fck. My heart goes out to all of Lea's family.

what an amazing brother, i just keep thinking how my brother would never do anything like this for me even if i was still alive and missing. It’s incredible to see people care about a loved one so much that he was determined to get justice for what happened to her, the world really needs more men and brothers like this.

Hearing that boy beg for the confession is one of the saddest things I've ever heard.

Poor poor girl. And her poor family. Addiction is an iLLNESS. Please don't judge people that are on drugs. It's one of the hardest struggles a human can go trough. May poor Lee rest easy in paradise.

"I don't have a LOT of friends..." Whhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?! The devil you say! 😂🤣😂😭😭😭😭

Ive never seen anyone else do the "weird-o" gesture in like 12 years. One of the reasons you are a badass

I was about to watch a different video and then Mike posted 6 second ago, Mike it is!💁🏻‍♀️ Thank you for being the best RU-vidr!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Max is an awesome brother! May his sister, Lea, rest in peace.

What a story what a horrible story I hope the poor family can find their beautiful daughter and put her to rest. I hope this family can find closure God bless them all 🙏🏻

Wow this story was absolutely heart-breaking... Great video Mike as always!

I’ve lost a sibling and a parent.. but when I lost my sibling that brought me to my knees and I definitely see the strength in her brother for not beating him in the first place… The fact that he even let him confess before he did it shows that he is a great brother. He did for his sister what probably would’ve never been done which is solve the case.

Just listening to the brother beg for the truth brought me to tears. Hearing that he put her in a dumpster was heartbreaking.

I'm so proud to hear that a perpetrator got their ass kicked for the evil they committed... and by a wonderful brother

Max is an amazing dude. God Bless him and his family. No one deserves what happened to this family.

Omg. The brother confronting his sister’s killer was brutal to hear. I pray for their family

Chris had a bit of a Stephen McDaniels vibe minus a brain. I'm sad that if she felt he was creepy that she pushed those feelings aside. Good for you Max! I bet she's in one of the bodies of water he visited. I always said if I only taught my kids one thing let that be if something doesn't feel right to move around... Follow your gut. So tragic. My heart goes out to her family. As always, well done Mikey!

Man I was thinking the whole time “If someone had confessed to killing my sister in front of me that person would be beaten to a bloody pulp” so it was satisfying to know he beat the shit out of dude.

Mike - my wife and I watch your videos each week. Your content is consistently engaging and entertaining. We enjoy your insights, humor and observations. And while we are decidedly grateful to you, we are also grateful for the scores of murder suspects who cannot shut their yaps to save themselves. In the rare instance that a suspect remembers to lawyer up, it seems they’ll turn around and run their mouths to reporters, relatives of the victims, and anyone else who will listen. It’s nuts how they just talk their way right into prison. ⚖️🔒
