My brother, your analysis have actually helped me in law school, I suffer from insomnia badly. and more than once you have saved my butt in exams. just by virtue of content and case details and coverage. If you read this, HMU I'll give you one of my grandmothers old school recipes. you deserve it. Strange offer, I know, but a lil gratitude never hurt and I ain't got much else to offer yet.
As an American, I'm only learning about the Jill Dando murder and it's so bazaar. Could you maybe talk about that case at some point? And also.. There is an 8 year old unsolved case that's been having a lot of movement within the past few days with an arrest if you're interested. It's the case if missing mother Crystal Rogers from Bardstown Kentucky. ❤ ❤❤❤❤
Top favorite creator!!!! Can i ask you a question? Well im gonna ask anyways, can you please tell me how i can change name on my youtube account? my son was using it for awhile and put that as the name!!! PLEASE HELP ME LOL!!!!!!!!!
But sometimes misleading. This lady specifically gets called a hood woman and hard worker and then the story continues to point out she was having an affair with someone she knew was married and moved to get an east ticket…. I wish y’all would call out the ones who put themselves in situations differently than someone who is genuinely innocent. There has to be a distinction.
Kelly started this whole murder fueled by drugs,insecurity and jealousy and everyone else pays the price. This is a gross injustice. Melissa had her whole life ahead of her and it was ended by two (as Adrian so aptly put it) glorified junkies. Very disturbing
@rustyshackleford7282 not really, female privilege doesn't exist. It's just something that men say when 1 intelligent woman makes a few wrong decisions and then commits a crime. Female privilege does not exist. You're just mad because this 1 woman committed a crime. Most people who commit crimes are men. So 'male privilege' 🙄
@@user-xg6fs9xb2das a drug addict in recovery since mid 2017 never judge anyone you have no clue what lead them down said path plus having friends who have modeled the model industry is the literal devil and drugs are not publicly promoted their low key encouraged to keep you slim. You have no clue what this woman went through behind closed doors to lead her down her drug fueled path so again never judge unless you are ready to be judge for everything in your life..
What a clear example of how UNJUST our justice system is. an innocent girl murdered. And the murderer walking free right now. What's wrong with this world ?
Personally I am disgusted Kelly only got 9 years, woman or not, she had a equal if not greater motivation to murder her "rival". 26 to 52 years really does seem fair, given that's enough of their life behind bars to outlive the best years of their life, but give them long enough in a society that ought to be alien to them. Those narrciests deserve the absolute worst. My thoughts go to Mellisa however and as always, your delivery on the individual who ought to be the centre of every case is incredible. Thank you as always!
Totally ridiculous. She initiated the attack and stayed with Craig through the entire process of killing Melissa and disposing of her body and the evidence. There's no way they shouldn't both be rotting for life
No, she shouldn't be out on parole. She murdered someone not only did she murder someone. She desecrated that girls body that is absolutely ridiculous that's she's out. That poor girl's family couldn't even have an open casket.
Jealousy is a hell of a thing.She amd this very girl had a relationship based on what I came across and she was the woman of business handling the couple's store and equipment.
How could the couple believe it was a good idea to set fire to the victim in the trunk of their own car? They might as well have left their ID cards on the scene. It seems very unfair that Kelly is free after only nine years. Every murder is a horrible crime, but this one seems particularly pointless since Melissa was no threat to the couple. Even if jealousy was the motivating factor, Melissa was about to leave the next day. 😥
Especially since their cover story was that she overdosed in the car, but they put her body in the trunk. Obviously didn't develop their brains the way they did their muscles.
Adrian, the way you deliver the story is second to none. Your videos always keep me intrigued in the story. And you can tell that you sympathize with the victims and their families. Thank you for all your hard work and keep up the fantastic work!!
I like the fact that you name the cases after the victims and not the perpetrators. I really enjoy your videos, they're carefully made and it shows. Greetings from Chile😊
I don’t know if victims would necessarily want to achieve name recognition through their deaths. But I agree that Adrians’ empathy and focus on the victims is compelling.
How Kelly is walking free is beyond me. This whole case starts with a violent act started by a jealous Kelly. Craig is responsible for creating the scenario by letting his mistress into the house but Kelly was no innocent bystander or an accessory. If anything I believe it was Kelly who suggested killing her, to save the marriage. She should have got the same time as Craig. Shame, as I remember these guys from when I was a gym freak back in the 90s.
Heyy Adrian I just wanted to take a moment to let you know how much I enjoy your videos. Your storytelling skills are truly impressive, and I love how you manage to keep me engaged and entertained throughout each video. The way you include personal anecdotes and experiences really makes a difference in connecting with your audience on a deeper level. Your authenticity shines through, and it's refreshing to see someone being their true self on camera.
I don't understand how Kelly is out after 9 years! She is a murderer and was the reason Melissa was killed! She should never be allowed out again. Poor Melissa. Why is it always the smart, beautiful, and kind people that are murdered.
Ran out of coffee this morning which is tragic. But of course not as tragic as this case. Thank you for covering another case. As always your videos are spot on!
It was pretty evident to me and probably most in the bodybuilding world that Kelly was a steroid user, her jaw line gives her away. My condolences to Melissa’s family, I hope they are able to heal. It is very sad that she put her trust and misplaced admiration in these two junkies with massive egos. 🦋🌻❤️
Would love to see you tackle the case of Ricardo Medina Jr., the actor who "accidentally" stabbed his roommate with a Japanese Sword, and seemed to almost get away with it at first. I've only seen snips of this case and would love to see the whole thing covered in detail!
They deserve to rot forever for what they did and it's disgusting that Kelly is already back out. There's nothing to stop her from going into a jealous rage again and murdering another person.
Hi Adrian! I’ve been a fan for a while now and I want to say that I really appreciate the respect and focus you bring to the victims in these cases. Please keep up the great work!
The expression in your voice and more personable comments/ moments with kitty have been making your content even more enjoyable. Keep up the good work dude! ♥️
While Kellys sentence does seem to light, she likely got out for good behavior (which I don't agree with) But you can't say Craig solicited a hit out on 3 people that testified against him and then follow that up with, "Why is his sentence so much more harsher than hers" They likely hit him with those 3 counts or at least they were marks against him because that's not good behavior.
Do keep this up please Adrian! At least 2 videos a week, and preferably 1 about murders like this, and the other about catastrophes like tsunamis, storns, volcanos and human made ones. Love your voice and your compassion! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Been a subscriber since 2021 and the way you've evolved in terms of presenting and content has been incredible. I especially appreciate how you set up the story and often offer your own insights. Keep up the phenomenal work mate!
I remember. She was in a fitness magazine I used to read. I was inspired by the fact that she was blind in one eye and doing positive things. She even sent me an email. Next thing I know she is in jail for murder. Wild
I was a huge fan of Kelly Ryan and was so shocked by this. I hope Melissa's family has found the strength and peace to help them carry on. She was such a bright star. May she RIP.
Hey Adrian! Wow 12 mins in and 4 thousand plus views, im so proud of you! You put in the work and have an amazing channel with some good story line that are not the same mundane ones everyone else has done! Thank you, keep up the great work we clearly love it!
It’s interesting that Craig didn’t get charged for conspiracy to commit murder when he was already incarcerated trying to spearhead a 3 pronged murder scheme of the individuals who testified against him? And if he WAS brought up conspiracy to commit murder X 3 this was simply brushed over by Adrian saying “This scheme was thwarted by police and in the end, no one was harmed”
Nobody pronounces the word privacy as wonderful as you! Love your accent, your presentation of this often difficult content, your gentle and respectful demeanor. And it is a plus that you are trying to learn German! Mache weiter so und Du bist einer meiner Lieblings Channel hier! 😊❤
thank you for all the work you put into these videos 🙏 I love how you cover these cases very much and enjoy playing these especially during busy days! 👏
My opinion as a mental health worker, Kelly was suffering from narcissistic abuse at the hands of Craig. That coupled with drug abuse influenced by Craig , spiraling low self worth and him using another woman to triangulate his abuse to her, it’s no wonder she hit a breaking point. I am not excusing her behavior, however, now that she is not with him I doubt she would repeat such behavior. This is a horrible tragedy for both women, at the hands of an insecure and narcissistic man who used them for his own self gratification. Kelly now has to live the rest of her life with murder on her conscience, complex trauma, ptsd and unfortunately every time she looks into a mirror she will be reminded by a face not her own due to plastic surgery that was again influenced by Craig. She will never escape the consequences of her past behavior and decisions, jail or no jail.
I met Craig a few times because we had a mutual friend who ran in similar circles. The bodybuilding community back then was very into clubbing, drugs and partying & Craig struck me as one of the ring-leaders. Not the type of dude you'd want to be involved with. Sadly, this case didn't surprise me. It's just a shame this young lady lost her life.
2.50am here in the Land Down Under and as I have finally fallen into the threshold of you possibly being online reading comments please allow me to say this: Adrian you present each case with the utmost respect to the victim, while expressing your distaste to the perpetrator you do so in such a manner it is obvious to us you have carefully done your research. I no longer bother with other channels and I thank you for filling my cup with intrigue {I don't like coffee} So greetings from downtown Kiama NSW Australia - I hope on your return to our shores you visit on local attraction & I get to say 'Hi! welcome to a Land Down Under - where's Nero?🌻🙀
I’m absolutely stunned by this case. How can anybody especially a woman do what she did to poor innocent Gannon. It’s so awful to think how he must have been frightened and confused that she was doing this to him, a person who was supposed to love and care for him. I hope she suffers every single day of her sentence!! And for the rest of her miserable life! She’s evil there’s no other word for her! God bless you Gannon you beautiful boy. ❤️
As someone who has lived in Panama City, FL his whole life and has a grandma from Panama City, Panama i can tell you the images used were a mixture from both places. Great video other than that.
You the man thanks for the content, it's much appreciated and I look forward for more. Have a great weekend! ( side note - Craig never won a Mr Olympia)
Gosh what a sad outcome. Baffles me how anyone could be out on parole. Presuming good behaviour 🤷🏻♀️ not good enough , someone is still not walking this earth.
I mean, I can't say I blame Kelly for being angry. She moved into her house and started a relationship with her husband. Whether or not it was rocky already, that's the nail in the coffin head. But I can empathize with a driven woman who is continuously trying to get her life on track and is victimized by some big arrogant dude telling her he's going to show her how. The audacity of that guy, in so many ways.
@@Bodharas excusing anger...not murder. It's weird someone always has to say that when you express any kind of empathy (which is different from sympathy)
in the early 2000's Florida wasn't in the best of economies. I was living there at that time and it was at the beginning of the housing bubble. Home prices began to rise, and people were offered mortgages like candy even if they couldn't afford it. At that time, I remember refinancing from Washington Mutual to SunTrust, one of the smartest moves of my life. If you weren't working for the govt or a govt contractor, it wasn't the best of times. People were "house poor" and purchasing houses beyond their means. Families wouldn't have disposable income for dance lessons if all their monthly income was going towards their mortgages; the people with fixed incomes (old people) weren't the type to take up dance classes that she offered (maybe she should have started ballroom dancing?) I could see where a thriving dance studio could suddenly start losing money.
I think it’s heinous that Kelly got to walk after only 9 and they changed her name. My heart goes out to Melissa’s mother who must be beside herself with this knowledge. Tbh I think even Craig who might get out after 30 or so years got off lightly. I feel like if you kill someone who is barely even 30 I’m sorry but you should be behind bars for the length of time that person could have lived so at least 60
Thats SUCH a load of shit! That monster woman should DEFINITELY still be behind bars! Jeez what a bunch of sad saps. Disgusting. RIP Melissa. Condolences to her loved ones. Thank you Adrian🙏💔🕊️
Someone tell me why he got longer than she did. She instigated the situation by tazing the poor woman. Yeah he's guilty for having a part in it but come on. She should have gotten same time or even longer.
I don’t get parole! You take a life, you forfeit your own. If that means jail for the remainder of your life - so be it. There are some cases of extenuating circumstances, they’re different from these monsters 🙏🙏🙏🙏👵🇦🇺
Very sad case...I have worked in this industry for 13 years and Kelly is actually wearing one of the suits the company I was once employed by, designed. I cannot emphasize this enough, when it comes to this industry drugs and affairs go hand in hand, and the amount of rivalry due to deep insecurity, is unparalleled. So many instances of people being promised positions, sponsorships, fame, that never see the light of day. Some people in this industry are consumed by becoming the most well known bodybuilder/physique model that they somehow lose their sense of self. To Melissa's family and friends, I'm deeply sorry for the loss you had to endure and the pain you must feel in moments where you are reminded that you are missing your loved one. May you be embraced in moments of sadness and comforted by the memories that Melissa was able to share with you.
Great case! I would love for you to do one from Chicago, Adrian. It's got the Chicago River massacre and other spooky disasters within city limits that would make a great intro.
Melissa James didn't deserve to be murdered but she was far from innocent when she decided to have sex with Jake knowing full well that he was married and totally became a home wrecker in their home. When you decide to get involved in someone's marriage bad things do tend to happen....
What, wow I used to follow their training in 2000, I forgot she did this. Wow she was one of the most respected bodybuilders in the world at one point, so was he. RIP Melissa, she did'nt deserve any of it.
The saddest part about all of this other than Melissa James being murdered, Kelly Ryan is now out of prison living her best life...That's not justice SMGDH. R.I.P. Melissa James ❤🕊🕊🕊🕊
It's crazy when the people you grew up idolizing turn into murderers. I remember this dude all over the magazines when I was lifting heavy in the early 2000's and Mark Rogowski when I skated in the 80s.
