The Deadly Cleveland Strangler 

I don’t get why did she even stay in the same house with him when his house smelling like death corse

@@deroxanlit4181 drugs

Stop glorifying cowards. She gave him an extra week when he should have been put away immediately.

@@pink_sock they are not glorifying her. They are being empathetic. What that woman went through is truly horrifying, and we can’t even imagine how she must’ve felt. Pain, guilt, fear, and much more. It’s very easy for us to look at the situation from an objective point of view and blame her for not talking, calling her names or whatever. But when living the moment and going through something like that, shit is different dude, because we are humans, with fears, feelings, self-judgement, and different perspectives (and in the woman’s case, with a huge physical and mental trauma). the victims can’t be blamed for not coming forward. Sure, many people would’ve gathered up the courage to talk to the police, but that woman, and many others all around the world, didn’t and still don’t. That doesn’t make them guilty or stupid. That makes them human. The only party who should be held accountable for the deaths is the offender.

Hey, Bob. Is that an arm? Nah, it's fine. Let's go write parking tickets.

If you have actually smelled a corpse, as I _have,_ it is incredible that anyone could enter a house where there is a decomposing corpse and not think that something is very _very_ wrong there!

@@pulaski1 exactly --I thought cops were supposed to know that smell. They just didn't care.......sad !!

@@pulaski1 I was thinking the same thing! My mind knew and my body reacted to the smell before I even saw the body. The only way to describe it was an overwhelming wave of “caution” or “warning” feeling. It was different than any decomposition smell I’ve ever experienced. There’s no way not one of those cops knew what it was. They had to go out of their way to ignore it. Maybe they were too scared and weak to actually do something about it, idk.

@@GrundleTwunt I don't know of any plausible explanation for the police ignoring the smell. I don't even know how the blame was deflected to the sausage-maker next door. I can imagine that a butchery business might be susceptible to smells, but good grief surely making sausages _can't_ make a smell like a rotting corpse!

She will never un-see it. Horrific. Heartbreaking.

So true about the smell.

Ya, I've been fortunate enough to avoid it most of my life but I'll call it ... sour.

Yeah exactly. It's gross and unmistakable.

@@hoosierflatty6435 it's alot worse then sour imo I don't think it can be explained and once you have got a whiff of death there is no mistaken it.

We have no idea of the environment they worked in or how it looked and smelled. Some industrial areas have smells, especially around papermills and the like. It's easy to cast blame when we don't have all the information.

@Pam Eversole, to the police it was his words against hers. Two people figthing, now how often did this occur in that city? Why they didn't go into that house to check it, was a decision the police at that time made. Hope they changed that policy.

How could they possibly have known she wasn't also an aggressor?

They willingly got in his house with him, so it's the women's own fault too.

@@BalboaBaggins mike literally says that the woman was dragged into the house so stop victim blaming

Her testimony broke my heart.

Yeah, that was painful to watch, but necessary, I think. It really emphasized how human his victims are/were, and how inhuman he was by comparison. The memorial looked lovely. So much better than just an empty lot.

Women having terrible taste in men, what else is new.

Yes, it is nice, but my question is: "Who owned the land that they turned into a memorial park ???" There is a big hole in this narrative for me because Mike doesn't seem to explain how someone can spend 15 years in prison and and then buy a house within a year after release. If he was renting the house, then where was the landlord all this time ??? Why didn't the neighbors call the landlord about the bad smell ??? It would seem more likely that he somehow owned the house to be able to keep such an extensive monstrosity a secret for so long, but where does an ex-con even get a down payment for a house straight out of prison, much less finding a bank that would finance him ??? Did he inherit the house perhaps ??? And even if he owned the house outright, how does a drug addict who gets by with collecting scrap metal come up with property taxes and utility payments ??? Did I miss something here ???

I was crying with her. 💔😥

there was a freaky true crime story where these guys were torturing women in the house, neighbors heard screams and girls would sometimes escape running half bare, and even that took the police forever to even investigate

@@kimmyfreak200 What?? 😲 Oh, wow! That is extremely terrible! All I can say is, "Wow", while shaking my head VIGOROUSLY. Mm-mm-mm. 💔😢🙏

@@kimmyfreak200 You talking about the Russell Tillis and his House of Horrors case he covered?

You need to advocate for more police funding if you want them to have the bandwidth to properly investigate all cases like this.

@@eadweard. It’s not a lack of funds - it’s pure laziness. Where else can you keep a job when your success rate falls, consistently, below 20%?

Unthinking remark

Especially because addicts and people of color are less likely to get their stories heard. Social media & true crime channels have really helped with awareness for these cases, especially unsolved ones!!

In one way I am happy they Coughed up the money but in another way not enough it will never be enough will it! 🙁

Depends on the victim

@@effaitch7629 n.y

That's why you don't abuse little boys.

@@yahnservices1978 Best would be not to abuse children no matter what gender. It would save them and society lots of pain and trouble. Unfortunately misery breeds a new generation of misery. So it goes on and on...

@@martinamoskale2445 Boys' traumas, sufferings and discriminations are very often ignored hence me specifically mentioning them. That's why you see way more violent, suicidal or messed up males than females. But I second what you said, all kids should be equally protected.

Yeah, exactly! And of course, they were all black! I mean really, he could have been stopped years earlier.

It’s like cops are glad he was killing them cuz it made their jobs easier. Prostitution is illegal so if they’re dead, they have fewer to deal with. It’s sickening when everyone should have basic human rights, even criminals. Nobody loves being a prostitute. They’re stuck and can’t get out. 🙁

In the 1980s, some police departments genuinely referred to crimes against sex workers as 'NHI'. It stands for 'No Humans Involved'. The police literally saw sex workers as sub-human. Disgusting.

Exactly. In the police's eyes, serial killers like this one are doing a good job by removing the "undesirables" from society. Just cause they were addicted to drugs or sex workers or in this case sometimes just regular people, they didn't care if they died. No, they wanted them gone. Police can be fucking horrible.

I think many poor communities have the ideology of the trash taking out the trash. And I don’t think it’s always JUST the police departments, but the community at large gets bitter and cold and overwhelmed.

Although the description "drug addicted prostitutes" may seem harsh, it's true. However, humanizing the victims is important as well. It's important not gloss over how they became victims. Their lives were important. We need to focus on preventing women from becoming "drug addicted prostitutes". Highlighting the dangers they face may help bring more awareness.

@@olliefoxx7165 I agree that it's both harsh and true, but it's worth mentioning that's not all they were. I feel like Mike did a respectable job of expressing the vulnerable and dangerous situations the women were in. I remember watching a documentary about this case where one of the children of these women were saying that he hoped people could see them as actual people, so I thought this video was done in a particularly tasteful manner. That is all.

@@vg3730 Well said. It's a great point.

@@olliefoxx7165 Even more importantly, it's important to prevent men from becoming warped, sadistic abusers and serial killers. Because *that's* how all these women became victims, and how literally millions of others do every day, regardless of their background.

Descriptions don't change the facts. It just satisfies a politically correct desire to virtue signal.

Truly terrifying. I wish i could take just a bit of that pain and fear. So sad she relives that daily. Brave.

Right. She survived, but at what cost.. I honestly prayed for her peace. I can’t even imagine. Smh. My god.

Its not really the flesh that smells when decaying, but the shit and blood mixed together while decaying. 100 percent agree, how can a man live with such a smell.

I know this smell. It is unforgettable. Different animals smell different when they decay if you have come across you pick up which is which. Human is very distinct. I am surprised that not one of the cops went there could not recognize thst smell.

This doesn't sound true. Is there any evidence the smells are differentiable?

Oh, I've only smelled a bag of decomposing deer parts when a hunter had left a bag behind in a normal dumpster... and that was the most horrible thing I've ever smelled. I hope I never get to experience the human version.

@@tusccountyjiujitsu I understand what you did there. I can have a pretty dark sense of humor too. I just think in the context of the comment it was kind of in bad taste for most people. I should have chosen a different sentiment for my reaction. In my defense, I was thinking more about the difference in meaning between strangle and choke. Choke is something that happens to you and is not done by someone else, while strangle is something someone does to someone else. I think your comment was a fair critique of my wording though, but the joke just didn't land well in this context. Cheers.

No it’s not ok

When Mike said that the victim went to the police & wound up getting arrested herself…. THAT part broke my heart so bad. I literally cried at that part.

What is it? Skin color or economic

I think it's very telling that in both cases the victims were minorities. The victims here that escaped were black, and the victim that escaped Dahmer was Laotian. It's a documented and well-researched fact that the police tend to not see POC as victims. Completely heartbreaking.

@@Gonzokeywest45 It's both. I would say that race plays a bigger factor. Most of the people who end up victims like this are on the very bottom rung of society, weather it's economically, racially, or many times, both. It's so fucked up, and it's part of this countries legacy.

It too was a victim being forced to having to house his soul

Yeah it’s nice that he didn’t label them as crack addicted prostitutes and criminals.

He did that too when covering the Pickton case. Goes to show why Mike’s content is always a cut above the rest.

So true. He treats the victims like valid human beings, and the killers like inhuman trash. Which is exactly the way it should be.

Nobody labels victims in true crime stories.

It's unbelievable. They're called "the less dead" which are usually people suffering from addiction and or prostituting. It's so wrong. May they R.I.P

I have never smelt death. But people always describe it as you have here. It must be awful. I wonder what exactly makes it so bad.

Guess Cleveland PD were used to their sausages smelling like death 😒

@@brendaprice665 Cadaverine and putrescine are the chemicals responsible for the smell!

@@BecciOnion Really? Thank you for that, I appreciate you getting back. Ugh!

@@brendaprice665 really! They're ... Creatively named. They're released upon the breakdown of proteins in humans and animals. Glad to help !

Great comment!! ❤️✔️ I feel the same.

Well i was just wanted to say the opposite. His quircky jokes are all over the videos... Sometimes it is very innapropriate.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@starchildone4871 you're free to leave...or not watch ya know

I love you too

It's because those women didn't seem to be a priority in the polices eyes. It's that simple.

If Gabby Petito was the first girl reported missing it wouldn't have gone on for a week.

Police don't value the lives of black women. Predators know this and take advantage of it.

@@doucheberry Nobody does. Why would you?

I hope the family members all now have some closure and peace in their lives. My condolences to them all.

It is heartbreaking 💔

peace to all affected

Anthony sowell is just like Ted Bundy

You’re right! The statute of limitations applies to everyone, police, politicians, and civilians alike. They’re not supposed to be immune from prosecution, but so often they are immune to prosecution. Civilians are almost NEVER given immunity from prosecution. The system is broken.

Seems a bit odd when people are complaining of smelling dead bodies around an area that a load of women miraculously vanished in that no one thought to at least check the houses?

@@Jabarri74 Youd need a warrant and no judge is going to do that.

If white women went missing, police would investigate it properly

@@Gromobran oh that's just plain bullshit. There is 10000s of white women missing.
