In today's true crime documentary, we're covering the case of Cassandra Bjorge and Johnny Rider and analyzing it from an educational legal and psychological perspective.
Parents, if you can’t handle your out of control kid, don’t send them to your elderly parents!! What makes you think they can control, the uncontrollable?! 🤯
@@Prettykittychimiyou never know, women get pregnant by security guards in jail all the time. She could easily do the same and curse the human race yet again 😂
@@kimberlyrichardson5943I know this might not sound right but knowing others are hurting and share in your pain just might help... Hang in the Kim ..I just lost my father last year and today's his birthday so I feel your loss...🙏
I was kind of let down how calmly she took the news she was being charged for malicious deletions. I was hoping she would have felt she was getting off or something.
Same as people who expect their parents to babysit their children. It's just cruel. They are tired. Let them visit or ask for it but don't expect them to be your permanent childcare. I would never even imagine doing that.
Two things: 1. Often times grandparents or other extended family will volunteer to care for these kids. Out of love and wanting to keep the family together. 2. CPS and other social services will push *hard* to keep kids out of the foster care system. They're not in the business of dragging children away from their families entirely unless absolutely necessary.
they're probably already conditioned to be able to take advantage of them in other ways, i.e. money, so why not dump the kids they don't bother parenting on their own parents, too.
A lot of good Christian people are easy to abuse because they feel like it's their Duty as a Christian to help you. The church has failed in the area of teaching boundaries. There are countless women in the church that stay with abusive husbands because the church tells them that's what they're supposed to do. Lots of abusers specifically troll Christian dating sites Define their next victim. Jerry flowers puts it this way we are taught to be easily loyal to people because they are family. But the saying you can choose your friends not your family holds a lot of weight in a scenario like this. We don't owe anyone anything but to love them and we can do that from afar. We have to set boundaries for our own safety and emotional and mental health. Being codependent is not being a good christian. Sometimes our feelings for others cause us to ignore the red flags that God gives us.
even was pissed by her referring to, my house, my house. little b--ch that was your grandparents house. relatives or strangers. knowing, that such prime examples of the human race are among us .hurray
My father insisting we help the messed up family of his dead brother led to tearing up our own family because those people grew up without a dad and a mother who didn't care about them and flew away to France with her new boyfriend at the first opportunity leaving 2 teenagers and 2 toddlers to whoever was slightly more responsible than her. Not only it put us in a tough financial situation because the mouths to feed and school fees to pay doubled in one day but because of their troubled past they would constantly cause trouble in the house because they had unsorted mental health issues. The oldest male even attempted to sexually assault my sister which completely changed the course of her life in many ways and still affects her to this day in ways that I won't go in detail about. The older sister at some point decided to just strip naked in front of the house because my mom was yelling at her for getting drunk while she's still a teenager. The youngest would constantly argue with my mom and wouldn't accept any form of authority from anyone except my dad so everyday was just constant fighting putting everyone else in an awkward situation. This is just the things I remember from the top of my head but we went from a happy family to living like trailer park trash just because we were trying to help trouble kids.
@amuro9624 WOW, that sounds like a real-life horror movie. Yeah, I have cut off trouble making relatives, and I have no problem with that. Just because they are related doesn't mean you have to help them, especially if they will bring nothing but trouble to your home.
Does anyone know why the girl cared so much about them finding out people were there? EWU kept making it seem like there was some big bombshell of a secret that was behind the reason of her lying about having friends over…but once she admitted it, there was no explanation as to why she cared so much about that specifically…so I’m super confused here?? Lol
@@jordancave3089I’m guessing because psychopaths lie just for the sake of it. And she probably didn’t want to implicate others in her own twisted sense of loyalty
@@comeagain....8050 yeah, that’s why I was so confused though. Because the only thing that makes even a little bit of sense if her not wanting her friends to get in trouble but considering how they said she was inviting just about anyone she could, that tells me that even though the people that came were her friends, it’s not like they’re super special to her. Also, they can’t get in trouble for anything since they didn’t even know…but since she’s clearly super naive(or maybe just kind of not smart lol) thinking $1,000 was some crazy amount of money, it makes sense that she doesn’t know that her friends wouldn’t be in trouble. It’s still so weird, man. She seemed incredibly honest about literally everything else.
The fact that they had pictures of her all over the house and loved her enough to take her in when her parents couldn’t handle her and she STILL did this to them makes me physically ill. I actually feel weak and queasy. Absolutely evil
It’s so sad. Meanwhile other kids have their parents actively physically and emotionally abusing them and/or exploiting them and yet are bright rays of sunshine in the world.
And they took her to China for a month for a competition and to Disneyland. This girl had a life so many could only wish for and she did what she did. I just can't comprehend it.
If you think about it the actual victims suffer WAY worse symptoms than your physically felt nausea..maybe don't seek attention over people actually relative to the video
"it was kinda creepy...she was like scared to die" That is the most ridiculous and cold blooded statement I've ever heard. This is truly mind blowing. It's crazy how someone can have amazing peope willing to take them in and help them, and turn on them to do this.
unironcally most probably LOW IQ there are studies that found that they have a tendency to not understand how other people feel. and see other people asif they are just another animal, almost like Somthing else. not somthing like me.
@@solidussnake2425Psychopathy, or narcissism, they have an inability to truly connect with others and disability in terms of looking things from another's perspective, partially because they themselves don't have anything but the shallowest of emotions and fleeting impulses. And so I mean, if you're a clinical psychopath, do you even fear to die that much? That's the thing I guess you guys don't get, clinical psychopaths legitimately don't feel deep fear, anxiety, or dread in the way we do. Like dying is not such a big deal to them, because their life is not that big a deal. But hell hath no fury if you get in the way of fulfilling impulses and short term goals.
They took her to China and Disneyland, and she does this?! She then returns to eat, with them in the house?! What a disgusting human being. These two should be 6 ft. under.
Yes! This young woman was DEMONICALLY POSSESSED, HER AND HER BOYFRIEND. WHAT A TRAGEDY. AND I AM ASKING THE SAME QUESTION..WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD A PARENT WHO COULDN'T DEAL WITH THEIR OUT OF CONTROL DEMON SEND THEM TO THEIR ELDERLY PARENTS WHOSE ALREADY RAISED THEM AND WAS BEGINNING TO ENJOY THEIR GOLDEN YEARS TOGETHER. WHY???? AND EATING IN THAT HOUSE WHERE HER GRANDPARENTS DECAYING BODIES WERE.. THIS IS SO DISTURBING. BUT NOT SURPRISING FOR SOMEONE WHOSE DEMON POSSESSED.
Kudos to boyfriend Kevin for refusing to go down lightly and keeping a horrible situation from getting even worse. Dude got bear sprayed, hammered and a bat to the teeth, but kept three people from being added to the body count.
Cassie & Ryder had... • the element of surprise • weapons • psychopathic natures • motivated by rage & greed • a plan • consider themselves Bonnie & Clyde.. • And Cassie is bragging about being some Kung Fu Master..🌝 The fact that they failed to best the unsuspecting couple, blinded by bear fkn spray...is downright embarrassing... They should be thoroughly humiliated.
I imagine she had to find telling Cassie that so cathartic. Think about sitting there listening to a spoiled psycho coldly give her horrific story and blatantly lie for hours and not being able to react so you can keep them talking... when you finally have what you need you can finally let her know what you think.
Yeah she's got no emotional....awareness. It's scary. Can't figure out which was a bigger contribution to her being this way: her natural self, or the perpetual neglect she endured her whole life. Personally, I think the neglect played a bigger part. I don't think anyone was ever kind to that kid in any way that matters...ever. And so that's what she puts back into the world. All this said, she deserves to be where she is. That is a profoundly dangerous tiny little person right there. She's a threat to society, unfortunately.
That makes me feel bad a little bit. Bc Back in 2012 I was living in Alaska w\mt hubby. He had been stationed there & we drove thru Canada up into AK in 2009. By 2012 my BFF & get hubby were moving back to the lower 48 & they wanted to drive to save $$. They had 4 kids & 2 BIG DOGS! They were huge. 1 was an English Mastiff for clarity. I told my friend it was a BAD idea! I LOVED the drive & we had a blast! But we are more go w\the flow. We didn't plan any part of it & just made a kinda plan we'd drive until evening then stop wherever we were. Too much been happen to mess up the plans &it can be upsetting even for go w\the flow ppl. My friend is NOT 1 of those ppl. I love her to death STILL! But she's a PLANNER! I'm talking down to the tiniest detail & even had a printed agenda. Booked hotels for the whole trip based on where they wanted to be reach day. Loaded up a u haul trailer & had 2 vehicles. Her & the kids in 1 & hubby & the dogs in the other. But she was worried about bears in Canada & had got bear spray. I told her it was unnecessary. She got it anyways. Well on the way the dogs bit into a pan & exploded it all in the car. & the hubby got your experience. My friend called me TRAUMATIZED & crying all their bookings were messed up bc they were delayed & she was a hot mess & hysterically yelling at me that I SAID IT WAS WONDERFUL BEAUTIFUL DRIVE & EXPERIENCE & it's NOT it's the WORST experience of her life! I felt bad but I laughed. I said GIRL! I TOLD U DON'T DO IT!! & I offered u advice the whole way telling u not to book that far in advance! I begged u to get on the plane & be done w\it. In fairness to her I think she probably thought It was just more poor planning on my part & she wouldn't have that problem. I still laugh which is probably unkind of me. At least now she can laugh w\me. But I did feel really bad for the puppies!
Her eyes are so emotionless whilst describing what took place like how can someone do that to their very own grandparents especially knowing they took her in and gave her a comfortable home
Mindy was bashed on the head and managed to pull Cassie by her hair off her boyfriend--and Cassie literally fights professionally. They are genuinely incredible with amazing survival skills.
Cassie acting like $1,000 would last a lifetime. An uncle who would take both of them in for free, grandparents who sent her to China and Disney, and Johnny has a friend like Jake, but it still wasn't good enough.
I think evil psycho's just like to use money as an excuse in some weird way to make murder sound ok to them, like it gives them some excuse or motive but they just had the urge to murder someone
When I was a kid 20$ would last me weeks but these days I could barely make bills food and cat food for a month with 1k I think it just speaks to the mental gymnastics someone’s hopped through constantly like this girl seems to do. After a while you become kinda just default to an imagined justification regardless of how irrational something is that you’re doing Also I don’t claim to be any expert so this is opinion not fact obviously
One of the things about this channel that I really like is that they ANNOTATE every spoken word. It's really helpful because there are moments where the dialogue is slurred or garbled to the point where it's indiscernible. Very few other channels go to the trouble of annotating everything and I really appreciate that EWU does.
i’m also so appreciative of their captions, it can be hard for me personally to watch something AND comprehend what’s being said at the same time, so it helps me stay focused and enjoy the content
These are the kind of people who should never be let out of jail. There are no emotions, no empathy, no remorse. She can talk about eating, living and murdering someone in the same tone.
yeah shes a complete sociopath. I get the feeling her relationship with her boyfriend is one sided too. He seems to be infatuated with her and mistaking it for true love or whatever, while she just seems like she was using him.
Kevin saved his whole girlfriends family. Him and the sister fought like hell. Kevin is incredible. And the sister and mother are so strong to have survived that.
It's especially horrible that the two had to scar Jake and his family with the gruesome sight of them trying to off themselves in their bathroom, and also deal with the trauma of learning the truth about your lifelong friend's true nature, and causing them to lose their home.
I’ve got a 14 year old step daughter that worries me. She tries to get physically violent when she doesn’t get her way. I’m afraid she might do something bad one day.
So the allegations about fast food and sugary drinks being more addictive than crack, appear to be true. Will confess to all crimes, for a Happy Meal 😕
Yeah, but four guys in ''When A Killer Realizes His Victim Tricked Him'' chopped a woman and severely injured a girl for a hundred, some dollars and by the new rule going to be out of prison for being young. I don't understand why Cassandra have two live sentences?
There’s something wrong with that poor girl. Like she has some serious mental issues. It makes you wonder how she got to that point. What happened to her?
I watch this kind of stuff all the time and the killers freak me out but not that bad. But when y’all zoomed in on her crazy eyes it actually scared me. Like she’s evil
She’s beyond a psychopath. How can you listen your grandparents beg for their life, and still off them. Geesh I cried I’m so sorry for her grandparents
That’s just how psychopaths are. They really just don’t care and it’s scary. I’d imagine some people would feel that they are just in too deep and had to finish the job no matter how bad they felt, but not her, she slept just the murder house for days…
@@4lpha0ne Parents *and* grandparents, both. And no, I'm not saying it's a justification but it absolutely does play a part. I agree. Everyone is so quick to condemn. I see a scared, lost, definitely mental ill girl and Johnny? He had a bright, happy disposition and then suddenly, totally dead eyes. So I'd say his mental health slipped terribly too. Married and in jail at just 19? No home support, no safe space. Just 2 lost souls who found each other and in their mutual feelings of hopelessness did something evil. It makes you wonder. Even Cassie's uncle said his parents "weren't perfect." Unless they were really, really bad to you you don't publicly remember your murdered parents as yeah they weren't perfect but they were okay I mean they were my parents. Yeah. Says a lot. Again, not a justification, but it certainly is interesting.
Bear spray is no joke. My crazy ex "accidentally" unloaded a can in my face when I was pregnant. It was a million times worse than childbirth. I was on the floor, crying, gasping, gagging, vomiting. Tears and snot coming out of my eyes, ears, mouth and nose. I get traumatized just thinking about it.
I feel uncomfortable when I remember a mean thing I said to someone in grade school, and here she is, laughing and smiling while talking about the brutal murder of someone who loved her. Forensic psychology is so interesting. How does someone feel so little/no remorse in a situation like this? And how do we better identify these people before they commit atrocities? Really keeps me up at night, knowing that people like this could be anywhere.
I watched the other video of the police interview and one of the detectives had to leave the room he was so ill/shocked/ disgusted. I don”t blame him. Tough job.
Imagine living a long life and raising children. Just to be murdered with your lifelong partner by your own grand daughter you helped raise? That’s just sad. I bet they never imagined dying this way.
She doesn't lie or get emotional about brutally killing the grandparent, but tries to cover-up and gets upset about inviting friends over to the house.
@@elitebeastmode32it’s classic narcissism. She doesn’t care because it’s her. But she wants the acceptance and not be judged by people she considers her “friends”.
I'm stuck on this part. Why was them having people over such a big deal. EWU kept teasing and hyping it up over and over like it was this huge deal. Is there something I'm missing?
@@LexKaiNixYou know I really question sometimes whether it's my own experience and whether it just is that female narcissists are what most comprise the toxic tiktok girl, because all the good women keep their mouth shut and don't spam twitter and facebook and IG looking for attention and to farm narcissistic supply, and they generally don't say anything too controversial so nobody gives a shit and they don't get that negative attention. Sorry it's just making me realize some things I've thought in the past about why women in general act the way they do, but I didn't think I attracted women with narcissistic traits did I? Oh for context I was saying in another video, when men communicate it's to coordinate in at times life or death situations, and to coordinate in a vital hunt, or war and tribal defense, or engineering, or hell organized crime or flying an airline, it requires the most clinically accurate sharing of details possible; but from the minute the average woman starts to speak, she begins putting on verbal makeup, because unlike the men her goals are to: increase her social standing among women and secure her place in the social group; flatter her image as much as possible and make herself look as good, noble, and desirable as possible to mates; and finally, to smear, slander, isolate, target, and tear down all her threats and rivals or otherwise disliked persons. And so as a result you will notice that categorically, the very nature of the objectives and goals of what female communication pursues is fundamentally different than the males and doesn't require the sharing of accurate information at all, in fact *her* goals are such that it rewards being hyperbolic and telling and concealing half truths. And so while I still do believe that that is the case, I do realize that due to some specific things about my own background and lived experience, this may not necessarily be the case as hard or universally as I think that it is, though finding a truly good, honest, pure, and noble woman in America isn't as easy. But I do realize now, that I may be having my own views coloured so sharply by female narcissists and sociopaths, that it's painting over reality in the same way some pretty women seem to think most men are narcissists (because you date and are asked out by mainly narcissists, or because you are most vividly remembering the one narcissist that hurt you, OR because you are yourself a narcissist and you're projecting; protip if somebody tells you everyone they ever dated is a narcissist, they're the one that narcissistic)
Dude this sucks. This is one of the saddest stories ever. An the idea that either of them should ever be eligible for parole is insane after what they did.
Imagine your grandparents welcoming you into their beautiful home and this is how you repay them. There are thousands of kids whose parents abandon them and are forced into foster care instead of having grandparents. Makes me sick
i think she is simply a sociopath, i was also taken in by my grandparents when i was a teen and i love them so much for taking care of me. this girl is a monster
I wonder if she suffers from schizophrenia I remember a few other teen killers who were pretty much exactly like Cassie. Doing drugs getting in trouble and all that. They ended up years later figuring out the kids had schizophrenia and it was made worse by drugs and alcohol plus without diagnosis and treatment it ended up at a point where the kids pretty much did horrendous murders.
This shows how domestic violence committed by children is not taken seriously. Right from the start this girl showed she was a clear danger and a psychopath.
@@Mike-wu7iethis is a terrible take. There’s plenty of well off intelligent ppl who make awful decisions that ultimately landed themselves in prison for the rest of their life. Regardless of what you think crime can be done by anyone.
I love my grandparents so much. Losing them was so hard for me. I miss tgem every day. I could never imagine doing something so unspeakable. They are just evil.
I was wondering when videos would start being made about this. Johnny was in my ROTC class in highschool and we ran in the same circle of friends. He was super funny and popular and honestly 99% of the girls at school had a crush on him. Everyone I know was extremely shocked that he, of all people, was capable of something like this. I didn’t know Cassie so I can’t speak on her. The whole thing is just super sad. I honestly used to tell people that my graduating class was cursed. There were so many deaths and so much weird stuff that happened from middle school all the way through highschool. There was a girl who passed away in her sleep in our middle school class and a kid who died in a car accident like a month later. A kid that overdosed, then this with Johnny. All I can say is that I feel so sad for their families and everyone who was affected by this. All the kids who loved and looked up to Johnny. Her poor grandparents.
She seems intelligent for her age at least as smart as a kid can get without serious book smarts really freaky how she just is a regular kid if u didn’t know about this and if You met her but something about how she seems normal makes me so much more sick then if she was mentally disabled and not just crazy it’s makes for a much more creepy out come then ur regular psycho path u hear about once In a blue moon it makes me feel hopeless that so many people can bring themselves to do this crap but also for me lights a flame of wanting to encourage the best in* people because a lot more good then bad is out there unfortunately bad can out way the good 9 times out if 10 witch is the real kick in the teeth
And the man at the end of the video I don’t recall his name is a definite roll model looking at the bright side of things is often the best way to go about stuff keep ur eye on the ball I suppose and life will be a little better probably someone I would not mind to call my friend
Feedback now that you've inflicted your comment on us: "role", you don't start a sentence with "And", plus, most of all, you seriously need to learn about punctuation.
No one has commented on Johnny’s phone call to his mom when he knew he got caught. Him telling his mother he was evil and saying I’m sorry to his mother and sister.
She’s disgusting and should be ashamed of treating her grandparents this way. All they tried to do was help her…. My thoughts are with Chris as well, poor guy 😢
Yeah, it was all kind of hinting at that, because logically speaking, what she said about wanting to leave and start a new life didnt make sense when you compare her words to her actions. They both go completely different directions. Instead, she was more interested in doing more of what she has done to her grandparents. She called it a "rush". That seems to be a recurring theme among psychopaths. They want this rush after doing what she has done to her grandparents.
She changed her name to cassandra nova genosha. Cassandra Nova is the evil sister of villan professor X in deadpool comics and Genosha bay is the prison island in the story.
Bro the way that female detective dropped the mic with her last comment before walking out of the interrogation room was cold asf! She was friendly as can be until those last 10 seconds when she took the mask off and let that little girl know how she ACTUALLY felt about her. 🥶🥶🥶 She's one hell of a bad mfer! Kudos to her putting these killers behind bars!
The way she giggled when she heard her grandpa's wallet was under the bed was seriously disturbing! Thank God the boy's mom came home and stopped the other attack!
It's also creepy when people can't laugh at themselves for making stupid mistakes like looking for something but not checking obvious places where people hide things.
Why give emotionless pyscho killers a possibility of parole? You cant make people care. They either do or they dont. And clearly she doesn't care. She should never be aloud back in the community
Her grandmother sometimes called the police on her for no reason? She had once brutally attacked her grandfather. 30 police calls to the house in a year, many made by neighbors? Just shows you her flawed reasoning.
I find it extremely odd that she freely admitted everything when asked for the entirety of the event up until the party, like getting her friends in trouble for underaged drinking was worse than butchering her grandparents.
Cassies face and emotions creep me out when she was left alone after realizing that Sunshine opened her mouth and turned all her story around. You can see right away that Cassie is the evil one
its demon possesion to both of them at it finest alcohol and drugs only give demonic entity more control over possesed person ... shes probs suffered a lot as a child ... demon's feed on fear and trauma so the cycle contiunes.. you can spott them by the "eyes, wide open" you can feel that wieird look , and movement of possesed person
When i was a teen, i had huge conflicts with my parents. They were very controlling, and often physical. We were at eachother's throats frequently. So what did i do? I MOVED OUT ON MY OWN!!!
I was also in a shit situation and moved out. It created a lot of debt because I couldn’t afford it which comes with its own mental health repercussions…. I still had to lend money for a deposit etc and not everyone can do that either.
When I was 18, as soon as I graduated, I couldn't wait to move out on my own. I grew up in an extremely violent home, and was almost murdered by my dad when I was 17. So, I can honestly say I was not at odds with my parents. I did everything I could not to set them off. I can identify with how this girl must have terrorized these people in their own home, while they were only trying to help her.
She's really enjoying the food and this chat. It's astounding how the officers play her. She really thinks they're cool with her. I love how they finally just tell her she's full of it and make her cry. Those tears are not for her grandparents but for her. She's utterly selfish.
The lack of accountability is INSANE. When Cassie says "I got a charge from them" she means "When I assaulted and attacked my grandfather, breaking his rib, I was arrested and charged with simple battery." She literally warped the sentence into making herself the victim of her grandparents actions when they were the ones being victimized by her.
yes, such truly ill people will often use a passive grammatical structure when an active one would be appropriate. also know that nobody gets born this way. it takes a village to ruin a child.
She couldn’t see past this very minor event as if her probation would last forever and she wouldn’t have a life because of it… well now she won’t have one for sure. No insight at all.
@@georgebaker1486 Well, aside from her being a crazy murder, the stupidity of it bothers me too. Like, it was sooo dumb... The whole thing, for what? Like, even if you're a monster you'd think a little situational assessment would occur, and be like, oh, bad plan... Then again I'm not well educated in different forms of mental issues, must have seemed reasonable from their perspective.
I truly enjoy watching this kind of content to be aware of evil in normal people. When he said that if they weren't together, prob it wouldn't have happened? 💀💀💀💀 come on. I'm beyond disgusted by this behaviour of her. It's like talking about a videogame, but with a person??? Good lord
Shaming her at the end was always going to hit her hard. She doesn’t care about them but she also can’t stand feeling victimized. Also not them immediately flipping, how pathetic. Waste of space.
@@TylerMcL3more really? He seems like a genuinely nice dude? The guy never saw or spoke to her only holding her twice when she was born knowing she has no mother or father to speak of he would have been genuinely nice guy if recognized that and had been a real uncle instead of one just in name. Never called, never saw her not even once since she was a baby and never gave a damn also this guy has the audacity to call himself a survivor? What did he survive the walk over to the telephone give me a break.
I would take Cassie to the woods and tell her to look at the flowers! All children are precious but killers are never regardless of age. Makes me sick to my stomach , filled with anger and sadness for victims in their path.
'envelopes just filled with money, it was like a 1000$ ' killing your grandma is something, but for 1k, it's diabolical, and for her to say that 1k is a lot of money is just crazy, you can't live off that for 2 days, rotten kids who just took lives for NOTHING.
Oh I just got that 🤣🤣🤣 that’s ice cold! Brilliant. She’s a better detective than 99% of the fictional ones on TV. That comment was such a zinger, TV writers should be taking notes.
I mean, you can knock with more than just a hand. I got the impression that "knock if you need anything" is just the bog-standard 'goodbye' she gives to people after interrogations are over.
@@antonyduhamel1166 It was more than bye bye. Her tone was cold and dismissive, letting the girl know she cannot stand her. It was more like an F* you!
She looked completely disgusted and needed to leave the room before she had a chance to become unprofessional over the testimony she heard. I dont blame her. I wouldnt have been able to sit through 2 hours of that child's complete disregard for life. True evil was in that room.
@@iolitelight Which is still going to be a bog standard dismissal, because if she's leaving and they are not, 9 times out of 10 that means they are guilty, so of course she'd be cold to them.
I am Chris Bjorge's wife. I was with him when he gave the interview for this documentary, and I audio recorded it. Before he agreed to do the interview, he researched "Explore With Us" and agonized over agreeing to talk to them. He had never given an interview about this before. Every time he relives the horror, he is forced right back to when it happened, which affects him for weeks. He finally made the decision to give the interview to Lizbeth Meredith, for EWU, based on her reputation for being truthful. I am so sorry he made that decision. His memories were chopped and re-spliced in such a way that the meaning was altered and strangers who never heard what he actually had to say feel free to condemn and criticize him. I cannot in good conscience sit by and leave the judgmental and uninformed comments unchallenged. Throughout the interview, Chris shared an account of the horrors of the night he was notified that his parents had been murdered. Chris explained that the whole thing seemed like a bad nightmare, and all these years later it still does. He said he had so many wonderful memories of his parents, and the brutality that they had to go through their last few minutes of their lives is absolutely horrific. Chris told of how his mom, Wendy, was fun to be around. She was a wise cracker and wove her personality into the childhood stories she often told about him. Stories that got better with each subsequent telling. He also spoke of Randall, his dad. Though Randall was a football jock, he never pushed Chris to follow in his footsteps. He encouraged Chris to find his own path. Chris chose to be a triathlete, and both of his parents supported him 100%. In fact, they backed Chris in all his endeavors and made sure that one or both of them were at any event he participated in. The family moved from WA to GA when Chris was in the 4th grade. It was a tough transition and Chris asked his dad to lead the local Cub Scout Troop in an effort to make new friends. Randall agreed to do it, if Chris helped him lead. Their joint efforts led to a lot of good times, great memories, as well as an even closer father/son relationship all the way through high school. The reality is that Chris had a wonderful relationship with his parents as a child. He was not abused, and his relationship with his parents became distant in a large part due to issues with his sister, Cassandra's mother. In my opinion, his sister's decisions were very poor. His parents had a desire to help her, which Chris respected. Chris's parents didn't share with him how bad things were with Cassandra. Once we became aware of how bad things had gotten, Chris and our family immediately stepped up to try and help however we could. That somehow leads to some of you thinking there is a hidden or unspoken tone of abuse that occurred or there are secrets in Chris's relationship with his parents? Uh, no! That is what good Christian folks do. We help when it's needed, regardless of how long it's been since we saw someone. We had a number of video calls with Cassandra, and she seemed on board, and was looking forward to the opportunity to come down to FL and get away for a while. What changed with that, we will never know. All of the above information that I have chosen to share with you was shared in the interview that my husband (Chris) gave. If you want to pass judgements here, don't do it to Chris or his parents. Chris was open and honest throughout the entire interview. He painted a picture of his childhood, and the relationship he had with his parents, and how thankful he was for his parents, and the upbringing they provided. He told of how his parents were fun, funny and supportive parents, and how insanely crushing it was to hear of what they were going through both before their murders, and what happened to them in their final moments. The entire ordeal was devastating for Chris, and our entire family. THE PRODUCERS CHOSE TO CUT ALL OF IT! So, if you're going to pass judgements, you should really re-evaluate where those judgements are directed, especially now that the whole truth has been shared with you, as it was presented by my husband. Have a blessed day, and thank you for reading.
@ExploreWithUs, I noticed that the interview you posted with Jake was muuuch longer than the one you posted with Chris. How about adding in the full interview you had with Chris, please? Or most of it? Your viewers as well as those who gave their time, energy, and information to you would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
I'm so sorry for the events that took place, & wish Chris & yourself the very best for the future, Chris's parents sounded like wonderfull & generous people & your offer to help cassie was a very decent thing to do, i hope you heal from these terrible events & life gets better for you both, take care..
I am so sorry you and your family had to go through this horrific tragedy and then had to deal with the media twisting the story your husband bravely chose to share and the subsequent online bullies who only see what's being presented to them without questioning if that's the whole story or not. It's easy to sit back and give an opinion on things you have never experienced and know nothing about when you're behind a computer screen. I hope you and your family are able to heal and stay strong. Again I am so sorry you and your family had to go through this and continue to go through the traumatic aftermath. I can't even imagine how you all must feel, but I hope you all will find peace again one day soon
Thank you for your comment, and I'm sad for you if people are insinuating things that didn't happen. That is not this channel's fault, though, as it didn't hint to that at all. This channel's main purpose is the criminology aspect, and your husband's interview helped give a better perspective of the situation which I, as a viewer, greatly appreciate. Thank you for putting your perspective here for people to read - It gives more insight into a very sad event. I hope you can understand that there was very minimal focus on the effect this tragedy had on others, and tries to exclusively focus on the people who committed the crimes, therefore this wasn't the correct outlet for your husband which is its own story and deserves focus in itself in a different setting.
When they mentioned the wallet and cellphone under the bed. She had the typical reaction of "oh sh*t, you found MY hiding spot". Then her whole story just lacked any type of emotion. She kept stumbling on her words "I . . . oh he told me too . . . " she was the mastermind in all of this. Just not willing to admit to it. When the video was shown to her "Huh? What? You know the truth? Ahh f*ck."
To me it’s crazy how she was able to so casually eat. Her last fast food, ever. Did she realize? Stupid b!!!!! She hated anyone telling her what to do, rules, lack of total freedom. Now she’s got ONLY all of that. It’s crazy how calm and normal she seemed.
This is what the police did with Dylan Roof, the kid that shot up the church in South Carolina. Instead of people getting the tactic, some people twisted it around like the cops were treating the kid to a happy meal for what he did.
I can't grasp how cold blooded she was through the entire interview. I just can't wrap my head around it. It was like she was just telling how her day at school went.
Usually I can watch this videos and just take them with a grain of salt , and compare them to the one's I've already watched. But this one caused me emotional , mental anguish. When the grandparents son said , there were pictures of Cassie all over the house, and that they really loved her, and that grandma's last face book post was pleading for everyone to look out for Cassie, MY HEART BROKE !!!! I'm a 61 y/o man, and I almost cried. God bless there son, and may they rest in the presence of the Lord.
Same. I'm 61, I couldn't finish this video. I started reading comments as it was playing and had to stop when I got to yours!! I KNEW it was getting worse and worse by the comments so I knew I couldn't handle the entire video. I appreciate your comment very much because THIS is exactly how I was already feeling and didn't think I could finish it and I'm not going to. I've already heard enough just letting it play as I was reading and my anxiety grew more and more. I just can't ever EVER imagine what those poor people went through. You know they loved her dearly and their hearts were broken. They knew exactly who was hurting them and that breaks my heart for them. I just can't even fathom the evil it takes to harm anyone like they did but close family members, that have given you EVERYTHING they could and probably MORE than they could just become they were raising her and felt sorry for her. I pray one day she truly grieves for what they've done and it really REALLY gets to her. God forgive me, I just can't imagine!!! 😢
Mate, I'm a 22 year old dude and after seeing so much desensitizing stuff on the internet - this video has been a very rough watch. I can't fathom the fact, that such people exist and will persist to exist all the time. It's heart-breaking.
