The Disturbing Case of Shawn Grate 

Am I the only one who thinks this dude looks different every time they show him? Just makes this case more creepy to me.

That Jane doe is a hero! He would’ve continued on killing, she saved all his future victims and herself.

I've been a 911 dispatcher for almost 10 years and I was just holding my breath the whole time hearing this. Also, I'm fucking furious with the dispatcher because she put that girl in GREAT danger by asking her 1,000 dumb ass questions. Keep her on the line and tell her to be quiet. That's all you do after the address and what's going on.

Jane Doe, you were so brave to grab his cellphone while he slept!!! You saved yourself & countless other women from certain death!! ❤️. This guy is SO CREEPY!!! Living inside a couch?! Deserved all the sentences he received!!

My heart dropped when she said,"he woke up" during the 911 call.

I love how the killers are always crying and pleading for forgiveness in court. They aren’t sorry they killed people. They’re sorry they got caught.

Imagine being the guy Shawn “demonstrated” how he killed previously. Literally in the arms/hands of a killer, being held by the same man, the same way that multiple women were in their last moments. So creepy.

"I know right from wrong" Proceeds to plead not guilty by reason of insanity

Thank goodness he sleeps heavy. I understand the operator needs to get information but asking that many questions when your abductor is laying next to you is scary.

Wait so he beat up his girlfriend to the point she had to go to the emergency room, then evaded the cops, and then was found in her couch ready to do god knows what...and was sentenced to 180 days in jail? Lmao what a joke our justice system is.

It's creepy how different he can look in every image, it would make it so difficult to identify him!

Can you imagine being Jane Doe's parents??? The tremendous relief they must have felt that Jane had such bravery!! She was so close to being the next rotting body!

911 operator: I’m going to continue to talk really loud

Wherever Jane Doe is and who ever she is I truly hope she is doing well.

I hope that Jane Doe is healing and living a happy life. What a brave woman.

Do these emergency dispatchers ever consider lowering the volume of their voice in these scenarios? Or are they told specifically that they can't? It's just...that first call, I really feel like that would easily wake people around me.

To be in a situation where most people would freeze through shear terror, Jane Doe showed immense courage and probably save dozens of lives. I hope she has been able to create new happier memories.

We didn't need him to reenact the way he murdered people, we needed him to reenact how he got into and lived in someone's couch.

Listening to that phone call gave me anxiety. Couldn't even imagine how Jane Doe was feeling at that moment. How terrifying. What a brave woman. 🧡🧡

The dispatcher asked a 1000 questions & didn't seem to take her seriously. I commend Jane Doe for her courage. She saved her own life as well as many that would have come after. Also, her bravery gave peace to many lives lost & brought down a serial killer.

Jane Doe is a hero, I hope she can heal and get her life back.

Why was he freed after 4 years when he was trying to kill someone!? If he was sentenced appropriately he wouldn’t have been free to commit further crimes. What a failure of justice.

That Jane Doe is a hero. That phone call was so utterly chilling.

The tears of a serial killer are only ever for themselves. God will have to forgive me because I cannot forgive them.

"I'm hoping we can move on from this." Uh..........NO, dude.

*addressing victims’ families in court* “I hope we can just move on from all of this...” 🤦‍♂️

I live in Ashland Ohio where this happened. It was horrible and very shocking that something like this happened in our small town. It still haunts us all to this day. We will never forget. He should die sooner than later. He is not remorseful. He's just upset he got caught. Rip to his victims. I hope Jane Doe is living her life to the fullest. God have no mercy on him.

I wish Jane Doe all luck and happiness in her life ahead. What a brave lady

“Jane Doe” is a very brave women to make that call with him sleeping in the same room whilst using his own phone nonetheless knowing he could wake at anytime and kill her.

I'm so glad Jane Doe lived, that 911 call was harrowing.

When I first heard this story, I was very creeped out as I live fairly close to Ashland. It was disturbing to see the police questioning him about Elizabeth. He told them she was in the house. Did the police not clear the house and find the two women's bodies on the first visit? SMH.

That guy who let a known serial killer demonstrate on him how he used a sleeper hold to kill his victim has giant brass clangers the size of the Liberty Bell.

Never heard of this case before. This is the type of content we all look forward to.

That 911 call. My heart was pounding listening to that. How terrifying that must have been. She's a brave girl to take a chance like that.

The most interesting thing about Sean Grates interrogations is that he was initially interrogated by a male detective who could not get Sean to open up about anything. They then switched to a female detective and Sean opened up completely and poured his heart out, which is strange considering he literally thinks women are worth scorn. Maybe he didn't see her as a threat or maybe he's so ashamed he couldn't say what he had done to another man. Very creepy and very dark.

That phone call had me on the edge of my seat. Jane Doe, you are incredibly brave and an absolute legend

"Jane Doe" was a very brave, courageous lady! I salute her, whomever she is.

Wow, Jane Doe showed pure strength in that 911 call. She is the true beast.

RIP SWEET ANGELS! Justice was served! Stacey Stanley - Ashland (September 2016) Elizabeth Griffith - Ashland (September 2016) Candice Cunningham - Mansfield (June 2016) Dana Lowry- Marion (2005) Rebekah Leicy - Ashland (March 2015 (Jane Doe) Lori Svihlik-Survivor. I wish you all the best life has to offer! You are a HERO! We love you and hoping you are doing well. ♥️🙏🏼 (Edited for grammar)

This case is a lot more disturbing than Mike presents here. Watch the interrogation of Shawn Grate, and you'll see. Truly a demon.

The call was terrifying. I'm so glad she held it together.

Is this guy a shapeshifter? He looks different in every picture

Crying voice without tears 😭 Serial killers usually don’t give up all the victims they like to know about more & not disclose em!! No way didn’t kill others in between those yrs of victims he told about. Jane Doe lucky 🍀 she got away to expose him, or who knows how many more there may have been 🌹🌹

It's going to be a sad, sad day when I've finally binge watched all Mike previous uploads.

This couch is awfully lumpy... Voice from the couch.. “No, it isn’t!!!”

In his court appearance, he acted like he was making a noble act, a typical narcissist.

I watched a 3 hour video of Shawn’s interrogation last night and he is a legitimate psychopath.. If Jane Doe didn’t escape from him, the police probably would have never caught him.

They are still nothing to him: “I hope we can all move on from this" as though he’d be caught using a colleagues milk for a brew.

If anyone ever tries to abduct you, fight for your life. Because your life does depend on those next few moments. It's far better to fight where you are, than to go with the kidnapper or murderer. They've got evil evil evil on their minds, and once alone..there's no one or nothing to stop them. So fight for your life right where you are. I'd rather die in the streets fighting for my life than to live for hours, days, weeks or months of torture only to still die. Jane Doe might have survived, but I guarantee hardly a day goes by she doesn't have to relive that torment. She's the real hero in this story.

- Thoroughly demonstrates how he killed his victims - Pleads Not Guilty I...

Being there is almost 8,000 comments, I'm sure someone has mentioned that another RU-vid channel has the full interrogation. It really is chilling and despite how sick it is, you can't stop listening to every word he says. How deep it goes. Lot of the meaning behind the killings he discloses while being interviewed. I highly suggest to find it and give it a listen.

Jane Doe must’ve been absolutely terrified making that phone call, she must have known if he woke up, she would have been murdered there and then. Brave woman.

I would never let a convicted murderer demonstrate his killing techniques on me.

He wasted his life by not being a spy. Looks different in every picture.

she's trying to stay quiet, says that''s he in the bedroom with her, and the dispatcher is practically shouting on the phone letting him know she called 911

Dudes on the stand just falling in love with his own voice

Oh my god what a terrifying story. That phone call was brutal. She was so brave to take his phone (which I’m assuming was physically on him), make that phone call in the room while he slept and to face him in court. Not only did she save her own life, she saved countless others because he never would’ve stopped.

Woman: I've been abducted, he's asleep in this room 911 dispatcher: *Xbox mic sounds*

It irritates me when 911 operators use a booming voice to talk to a caller who is whispering, and who is in danger with a perpetrator literally in bed with them. This young lady was lucky - that serial killer could've been awakened by that operator's voice easily, and then the young lady would be no more. (I am so glad she was so brave, saving herself but also other future women, too.)

The Always Sunny references get me every time, Mike 😆 I think this is the second time, but I might’ve missed some as I’m still making my way through your content, case by case!

For those wondering, the Supreme Court upheld the death sentence two days ago!

As a juror on this trial....it will always haunt me! The things I had to hear...the things I had to see...the things I had to think about...will never leave my mind. It has by far been the worst thing I've had to experience in my 38 yrs of life! I had a part in sentencing him to death in Ashland Ohio!

Jane Doe was so brave. I am so happy she escaped. Hospital staff and police should never interview a potential victim in front of someone else. That is just ludicrous.

OMG Jane doe not only saved her own life but who knows how many more victims there would've been ..such a brave woman to do that in the same room as this THING .. and hope she finds happiness ❤

the longer the phone call lasted the the more scared I got that he was going to wake up when the dispatcher kept engaging her and she kept answering questions. I really appreciate the woman telling her that she didn't need to talk but I get that it's easier to find the location of the phonecall if they don't hang up. what an incredibly brave woman who managed to save herself and countless others.

I wonder how many of these are lurking on Tinder.

I'm from the small town where he was arrested. I know someone who works in the jail. He said Shawn is intelligent, soft spoken and very nice. These guys are the most spooky

I recently watched another video that was just the 911 call and full 3 hr interrogation. This video goes into much deeper and more information so I'm really glad I found it to learn more about this case. It disturbed me greatly. I also want to give a big shout out to Jane Doe. Her bravery probably saved countless other girls' lives. Way to go girl!

If that woman's "there's a full grown man in my couch" senses weren't tingling she woulda been another victim. Good on her. Wtf kinda couch does she have

like, we have all heard a million 911 calls, right? that was the most terrifying call i’ve ever heard. she was so brave! i’m shaking.

Jane Doe is so strong to be able to make that terrifying phone call to survive. I couldn't even imagine what she was feeling making that call.

I do have to say that this operator was one of the most sympathetic operators that I've heard on a call. Well done, ma'am, whomever you may be please know that your work is greatly appreciated.

He has that Ted Bundy quality where they never look the same twice.

Why do all serial killers have houses and doing better then me?!

This is one of the most disturbing cases I've ever seen.

The 911 operator is also the world record holder of most frustrating person who ever lived

That phone call with Jane Doe was terrifying especially when she said "he woke up". My heart dropped

When I heard the police arriving on the 911 call, I realized I had been holding my breath! terrifying!

These older vids of three years or so, Mike is more somber; serious. I like how he becomes more animated as the years go by. His jolliness makes it much easier to deal with these horrific crimes. Well done Mikey!!

He looks like a completely different person from when he first got arrested compared to when he was being sentenced.

6:31 - "He foddered tree-children..." This is darker than we could have imagined.....

Caller: whispers 911 operator: *DOES HE HAVE ANY WEAPONS?!*

Hearing that cop show up was one of the most satisfying moments I have ever had on the internet.

The 911 call is unequivocally the most disturbing/scarry/frightening thing I have ever listened to/experienced/come across etc.! I was absolutely paralysed listening to the call in it's entire lengh! Imagine being the woman making the call!!! 😱 It is absolutely unfathomable! Just thinking about this case scares the living sh** out of me!

Good God, did he just thank the women he murdered...for their time? It's horrifying how glib he was.

his statement in court is so gross and self-serving

His speech at the end completely terrifies me. The things people like him do are absolutely horrific and the way they can act like they are sorry and that they blend in with the rest of us is horrific. I cannot and don't think I will ever understand how someone can have a mind so incredibly evil. Where does it come from? How do these people have no remorse, no empathy, no understanding at all of how supremely ugly they are and what they are doing? I don't even have words to describe how baffled I am by the psychology of someone like this. Doing it one time and being sorry theres some kind of hope there that makes you think maybe they understand and learn and wont do it again. Multiple women though not a chance. No way in hell is he sorry. If he hadn't been caught he would have killed more women no doubt about it. The way he portrays wanting to be forgived is revolting when deep down we all know he does not give a shit is just trying to replicate human emotions instead of actually feeling them.

That tiny bit of the “Now You Know” music made me burst out in laughter (scared my dogs!) Then I felt bad but you have such a unique way of bringing a little light to these dark stories. It’s why I’m addicted to your channel.

“Hopefully we can just move on from all this?” WTF! He really is delusional

Psychopaths change persona so much they literally change appearance physically. Scary stuff.

How come only an 18 minute video on this guy?? I watched the trial and there is so much more u could of covered on this sick man.

Operator: "Who abducted you?" Jane Doe: "Shawn. Great" Operator: "This is no time for sarcasm young lady."

That miss Jane doe was really brave! I’m so glad she managed to call for help

Ugh. So hard to listen to her sobbing quietly when she was asked why she had been bleeding.

Dude... Once she said she woke him up, the dispatcher should have *SHUT THE HELL UP*

Any minute now I am going to run out of TC videos to binge and I won’t know what to do with my life. Thanks for all your hard work Mike! Not just for the great stories but also for the high quality videos that are supremely entertaining. :)

Why does he look like a completely different person on every picture and every video??????? 😳😳😳

remember: violent men will never change. you cant change them. dont feel guilty for leaving them. dont feel guilty for getting help. he will hurt you again and it will get worse.

Thank you Mike, for speaking clearly and intelligibly, because whatever accent Shawn Grate had at the beginning, I genuinely could not understand him, and was starting to think something was wrong with me.

Just found your channel while on another true crime binge, and you absolutely have a new subscriber and fan! Great coverage of the details in a comprehensible, easily understood way.
