I immediately recognized Mark’s voice from Soft White Underbelly and got teary eyed. His channel along with yours have impacted me so much that having this crossover hit me hard. Thank you for shining a light on this aspect of this case. It breaks my heart that addicts are painted as inherently immoral; almost non-human and not deserving of any empathy whatsoever. Thank you for showing their humanity. Keep up the great work, dude ❤️
well, said. As a drug addict and alcoholic now living clean and sober I can verify what you say. People treat us like "a waste of carbon" but have no idea (or don't care) about the trauma inflicted upon a person to cause them to hurt themselves day after day after day. I work with AA and NA to help people rediscover their worth and it's the first step in a long long line of steps to recover and truly live free again. Soft white underbelly is also a great channel, please heck him out.
@@randomnetfiend absolutely! It’s absolutely heart breaking when people I thought loved and supported me as a person started pulling away from me once they found out I had secretly been struggling with addiction for years but I was now working on getting clean. I lost so many people who I thought were my family and it broke my freaking heart. However, those who truly loved me never let me struggle or feel unloved the second they found out my struggles. September 2nd I celebrated 8 years clean. I’m now in college working on my bachelors in case management so I can help other addicts get help and realize there is life after getting clean and it is absolutely glorious. If I can do it then anyone can.
I really respect how you treated substance abuse and addiction in this part of the case. As someone currently going through that hell that's so accurately visualized in this video, I wanted to say it's heart warming not everyone views addicts as a waste to society, inherently evil, and morally bankrupt. I didn't expect to feel such a personally emotional response to this video - very well made and quality content that I hope to see more of! Thank you!
As a drug addict and alcoholic and fellow human being, I wish you nothing but love, acceptance, peace, joy and freedom in life. You ARE a good person who deserves freedom from addiction. You are in my prayers.
THANK GOD YOU'RE BACK!!!!! I'm going back to episode's 1 & 2 again to refresh. Thanks for all your hard work, you are getting me through the lockdown 😷😧😢From Sara in London England 💂👍💖
You've done it again Darren. You honored the victims and provided an in-depth calming narrative. That music at the end during the rescue did it for me...I was griping my chest with anticipation even though I've watched the rescue so many other times. Thank you for all that you do and I hope you continue!
This is probably the sixth of your videos I've watched, and I've been meaning to comment since the first one. Your documentaries are fantastic, among the best I've seen in the true crime genre, and that includes the guy who has troubled swimming. You take a wider view of each crime, and present us with a lot more information in a style that's engaging and really informative. Your narration style is fantastic, and I love your use of background music and audio, which sets the mood brilliantly. As others have stated, it really won't be long, hopefully, until this channel really booms. Please keep up the good work, your videos are excellent.
Great to see the latest episode, especially knowing how hard you worked on it. The addiction element was sensitively and compassionately done and will I hope give people pause for thought. Re stats. Remember how far you have come in a very short while and please don't get discouraged. As always looking forward to the next one but a " bravo " from me on this one 😊
Another amazing video. I was glued to my screen. Loyal subscriber here. Won't un-sub just because your vids take time to come out. You'll keep growing. I'm sure of this. :)
I have only just discovered you and I can honestly say you have one of the best true crime channels out there. Keep up all the good work and, yes, I have subscribed! Greetings from a Swiss / Israeli / Scot!!
I am absolutely amazed by your dedication and thorough work with your channel. U are totally awesome and I'm now a dedicated subscriber and follower of your work. Also, your voice is beyond perfect for this kinda thing..lol.. please keep doing what you're doing my friend.
Another spectacular, documentary-level production with top tier research and insight. Really appreciated the time you took to talk about addiction, actually quite moving. Bravo.
LPR, very in depth investigative journalism on this case. The uploaded paperwork and documents really backed up the timeline and flow of this very disturbed man. You pu5 alo5 of effort in this topic and it shows in all 3 parts . Keep up the excellent work and I look forward to the next video.
This trilogy was fantastic, I am hooked! It's like a needle in a haystack finding amazing true crime channels, and I'm ecstatic I found yours. Time for binge-watching. :)
So sad and really powerful to watch. There is a really good documentary on people who live in tunnels in Vegas. Will see if I can find it. Pretty sure that it was Louis Theroux.
That's one example..will try to find the one I saw originally when I am not entertaining two very active boys in the pouring rain. Also great quote by the amazing Anthony Hopkins!
Great production value in your episodes. The music, the narrator, the editing, the way you added footage of what appeared to be skid row with quotes about addiction from celebs. Excellent.
That's so strange, more than one subscriber with notifications on has written the same thing... I ended up re-uploading this video 3 times due to re-occurring copyright claims I needed to fix, so odd you didn't get at least one.
@@LPRPresentsYes it is odd, I will keep checking in with your channel for your latest content. You do Excellent work and I admire your respectful approach on these very sensitive subject matters. Thank you again for all your Excellent work.
This channel is a constant learning process! Ironically I feel like with season 3 RS I have it perfected. Fingers crossed the review goes well and the episode is approved for publishing
As always, worth the wait!! I had no clue about Kayla. I hope she is healing. One suggestion- maybe the lower the volume of the music under the interviews? It’s pretty loud and sometimes makes it harder to hear the subjects.
Ahhh yes. I chose the music over the poor audio in all the interviews. Even cleaned up the popping and oscillating pitch of the fans made the interview heavy edits sound horrible. In most cases Todd was barely audible over the artifacts, while the interviewers sounded blown out. It was the lesser of two evils. It’s also why I transcribed and hard coded Todd’s audio subtitles. I may have missed a couple uhmms and couldn’t quite make out a few words, and had hoped that this episode atleast, would be dominantly watched, not listened. It’s still a work in progress, and I know I have tons of room to improve. Please don’t stop with feedback, as I truly appreciate it and most suggestions I keep front of mind during production :)
Awww man I was late to the party! I made it though, I was disappointed I didn’t get the notification but super pumped the video showed up in my timeline. It made my Sunday morning. Thanks LPR 😊
I love watching your channel and I learn so much. Your insight and ability to get to the bottom of things without putting a spin is refreshing. I have a question: have you thought about diving into the Piketon Massacre case?
I am from BC and knew about pickton before he was exposed, he threw big field parties that were off the chain incredible, literally everyone would go. It’s on the list, I had started writing the script and collecting old videos, but lost the content when my external drive broke. :( It’s still high on the list of what’s next ;)
Advertise your channel. This is the BEST crime channel anywhere on RU-vid! I've sent site information to family and friends. This channel will Boom one day.
Once again Compelling viewing Darren in fact I have watched it Twice you're Empathetic Approach for (The Forgotten is Admirable. Interesting that most of you're Patrons are Female a hint to all Male members get into those deep pockets and help Fund this Channel it's truly one of the Best True Crime on utube. Looking forward to the Next One Regards Gail.
Good morning Darren , I find myself having to watch this in segments . I have to walk away for a few moments . It’s blood pressure raising . Chris Watts snapped . That I feel is the open and shut of it . But , this guy is so evil that While I was listening to his conversation , if that’s what you want to call it , my hands started to sweat ! The addiction segment , is heart pumping . Unfortunately , so little is mentioned about the children produced out of addiction. There are so many damaged people . I have been a big fan of Mark , Soft White Underbelly . He is an awesome person ! Well , I am halfway through the film . You are fab. !!
I thought about including the children, but they have escaped the headlines, and although I was able to uncover quite a bit about them, I opted to leave them out for fear of drawing them back into something they can forget. Last I could confirm, they are living with family, and are in safe, capable and very loving hands.
Hi Darren , I hope you don’t think I implied YOU don’t mention the children . I guess what I was thinking is that there are so many people that suffer the consequences of parents of addictions . Just pondering the recent shooting in Colorado . I don’t know the facts , but , maybe there was no motive . ? I finished the film . I felt it in my stomach. What surprised me was Kala’s calmness when they were cutting her chains . I’m sure you did check on the welfare of the children . You have a depth of heart that is incomparable. I’m glad you’re you ! I look so forward to the season finale ! Until then , stay well . Jane A
Huge respects for composing this trilogy! I somehow only knew about the kidnapping part of Todd’s story. You truly went in-depth with those episodes. And the ending left me really shocked. Super sus! Could it be that Kala and James’s kidnapping was somehow coerced between Todd and Kala?
Thank you so much!! I’m also so glad you asked. I couldn’t use it in the episode as I couldn’t properly verify much of it, but Kaila is definitely suspect. It’s been suggested by some of the local community I spoke with that TK and Kaila were involved, and that they had been planning a sort of Bonnie and Clyde tour across America. If I’m ever able to confidently support these claims/allegations, I will definitely be making a follow up ;)
He definitely made it to the folder of researching cases, I went down a rabbit hole reading/collecting bits on Jared. Im not certain when, but it will happen ;)
Great job on this one! If you’d like to discuss social media, & the free the resources available as well as how to put them to work for you @ me w/ where to reach you & I’ll get in touch. Either way, this was very well done.
this is embarrassing, I suppose I could google it... but Im not sure how to @ you, but im thinking this is just as good. LPRPresents@gmail,.com. Thank you!
@@LPRPresents I should’ve just said to reply- you can notify other accounts that you’ve mentioned them by placing an @ before their screen name, I’d be @Alli Writes I’ll email you in the next 24 hours. Don’t be embarrassed, I wouldn’t know anything if it hadn’t been a requirement of my career.
Maybe you don't post very often, but I come back from time to time to check ! every video is good and well documented, it is not always the case on the True Crime Video YT Jungle. thanks !
Thank you so much! I wish I could post biweekly, but I am back to work full time now and the nature of my sea faring RL career means I can only work on SC when I’m home :( Thank you for sticking around 🙏
Hey everyone. If you belive in this channel please help by copy and pasting a link to one of these videos in any and all other true crime channels' comments. I've done over 100 so far to try to bring recognition (and finance) to the creator of this channel. Any help would be appreciated!
Just wondering will you be doing anymore on this case. I would like to know what is going on with Kayla now and all the other people connected to this case. I hope this isn't the end of it. Thank you I really hope I do get a answer back
I try to always answer back ;) I am thinking that in episode 8, I will take a look back at all cases, and try to bring them up to date, including TK :)
@@LPRPresents ok thank you I would like to hear about any updates with this case especially This actually happened really close to my house, my son's were friends with them. I knew the owner when he actually started working on bikes in his grandmother garage. So this has a place in my heart. It's so sad these families and friends had to go through all that they did. Of course I'm sad anyone has to go through stuff like this, it just isn't fair to them at all. Anyway thank you for anything new you find out and for giving us whatever updates you come across. Myself or anyone else for that matter would not have Anyway of knowing of anything new without you staying on top of it and the research you do to allow us to be informed on any of the cases you talk about. So thank you so much for all the research you put into these cases
Wow he really let himself go.. So glad Kala was found that day. You would have thought that rescue alone, would have made Kala re-evaluate her life and choices. Some people sadly, can't be saved from themselves..Kohlepp should spend the rest of his miserable life locked away - he is truly evil. Edit: I hope Amanda, at the end of the film, is doing better today. She definitely is worth saving😢bless you Amanda💐
I can’t prove it in any way, but I always thought he tried for insanity. To me, his after arrest claims seemed targeted at 2 things, building clout for the clink, and setting the stage for insanity. I hate to say it, but he was probably too smart for his own good and talked himself out of any chance for an insanity plea. Maybe.
Your videos are great but I always end up wanting to play Skyrim because of the background music. Not sure if that's an intentional vibe or not, I imagine it's not. I find these later videos are a good mix of footage and commentary that make them pleasant to listen to as background noise. Nice job overall.
Just wanted to lyk how much I enjoyed how u compiled and edited this story. Netflix doc quality so I had to rewatch all the episodes again. Hopefully, u will be able to post more frequently. But, I know how much time it takes to make this videos so don't view my comments as a complaint. More like a completiment from a loyal sub who anxiously waits for each upload. I don't always remember to like each video so I'm gonna go back thru ur inventory to ensure I throw up a like on each. Keep doing whatcha doing!!
Battlefield 1 music? I’d just sit at the main menu and listen to it, especially the 21:15 song. Combined with this doc is absolutely perfect. Amazing job!
Thank you! The track is by Kyle Preston, an outstanding orchestral composer for (now) film and television. This episode was definitely the hardest to complete of the trilogy, being the most recent events, the police dismissal of Johnny Joe and Meagan's disappearance, and the common trait of drug abuse across at least 3 of the victims... Thank you so much again for your support :). Season 3 will kick off very soon!
@@LPRPresents your talent and hard work is not going unnoticed. It’s of my opinion that these documentaries are not only used as education but to share the stories of the victims not seen in many documentaries in this genre. Their families will never forget them but because of your talent, their stories will now be with us. Strangers, like myself. The musician is indeed talented. Idk if it’s the same song but below is the song I immediately thought of. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dwiDdbTklio.html
Very good true crime Channel ! I just find the music too loud and present at times when it's more important to listen to what's being said. That's just me being picky..
It’s you being observant. Seasons 1 and 2 I definitely struggled with audio! I feel like I have in entirely figured out now, tho. I hope. Thank you for your support!
I always (with the exception of Jared Chance) list the music in the credits, usually in order :). For Season 1, I listed the music in the descriptions box as well.
Straight up something real sketchy with Kala Brown...more than has been said here..i feel bad for her its messed up but with all those emails and everything else around here idk something is just real real fishy...Kohlhepp did an interview.for another youtuber and he had ALOT of things to say that were way different than what she said and i know its from a serial killer....but still
I thought about including all his strange ramblings in the episode but wanted to focus on what was known and confirmed. I have been thinking about returning to TK in a follow up episode where I would touch on his Bonnie amd Clyde fantasies with Kala and her apparent excitement to do so, all the cloak and dagger meetings they had and Kalas own tumultuous background…. My only hesitation is that it is mostly speculation and you are right, Todd can’t necessarily be trusted, especially after his play for clout behind bars. I’d be interested in hearing your memories of how it all went down, how you and your family felt about it, the buzz around town during and after, if you have the time! Thank you for watching!
@@LPRPresents well everyone thought she was in on it...brian lucas relatives made a big post about wanting her investigated because she was writing love letters to kohlhepp and asking for sex toys, she had met him when she was working at the trophy club which is a strip club that i believe is in Columbia SC...Kohlhepp said in an interview she wanted to make a big pentagram out of candles for halloween and apparently they found a bunch of used candles when they searched his property and she also had her own set of drawers for her clothes in his apartment out on his land...but when the superbikes shooting happened it was huge, at first they thought it was a robbery gone wrong and someone had seen a man and woman who were known drug addicts in the area but they figured out that wasnt what happened...actually found out that those 2 was my best friends uncle and his girlfriend at the time, they were interviewed and let go. My grandpa called it though he said it was probably someone who they pissed off that just went in and gunned them down...i was pretty young when it happened i was 12 or 13 but i still remember it pretty well
I heard him talk About Kayla too, and it is sus about the bf killing himself by stabbing himself in chest? Then another Dv issue with next guy? I feel like she played the game with Todd and birds of a feather and all that
In their state with addicted or troubled parents, they are allowed to check the children at any time. I believe a traffic stop started that process both times for them.
Please get right my surname..No- polous tha`st non existant greek grammatiks are in a way i noticed from the start that you not have greek advance with miss papacostea ..Like Savopoulos,Stefanopoulos,Giotopoulos,Panagiotopoulos no Giotopolous polous that i`m almost sure not exist,thanks and dont get me wrong.Hallo goodmorning everyone..12 36 here noon.Thanks have a great day..excellent work.BB
hallo lpr fans VIP community in the channel that makes creations better from networks//Well im not drunk,if i have free time and money maybe i think 2 visit Todd if he has money probably then maybe ill send him fotos from travels around the world its a victim from juvenille.everybody lost jail make him pc expert his opsesion and more make his to do strange things he wants drive 750cc 156hp with no knowledge okey lets say you can its matal to the acceleration.

Addiction doesnt make people into robots that has to follow along with what their addiction is telling them to do. Nor does addiction rob them of their own agency, if we take oxycontin as an example, its a pill that has a slow release function of opiates to dull pain, in clinical test settings where the test subjects were just given a pill and then report back on how they experienced their own pain it got a lot better with almost no side effects and no addiction. Most people who get addicted to those drugs knows perfectly well what they are doing, taking more then they should because they are after the buzz more then getting rid of the pain, you dont think those who get oxycontin crushes it into a fine powder and then snort it to get a "better" effect know wnat they are doing, what about those who crushes it and dissolves it into a liquid and then inject it know what they are doing? They know they are misusing the drug but they dont care, not because they are addicted, but because they arent after getting rid of the pain, they want to feel good too, and that is the problem. Most people who take oxycontin can work, and live a perfectly normal life without any adverse effects almost if they use the drug as its prescribed. It just makes the pain less intolerable, sure taking it for a long time will get you addicted but very very mildly so because the dose is so incredibly small, if you only want to be able to function like a normal person while you are in pain. Those who do get addicted to it for real, knows exactly what they are doing so i wouldnt blame the medical company for it. That is like blaming the water utility company for those who drown in their own homes, or blaming the electrical utility company for those who accidentially electrocutes themselves. That is like blaming scarf manufacturers for the death of everyone who got strangled with a scarf. But those examples doesnt give it justice really, because they are poor examples. A far better example would be blaming glue companies for all those who ruins their brain by sniffing glue. They are using a product in a way it was not intended to be used in the first place. Maybe a perect example would be with alcohol, you never hear of anyone that drank 2 beers a day get addicted to alcohol, because that doesnt happen, those who gets addicted to alcohol knows perfectly well what they are doing. They know they are drinking more then they should, so they drink more then they should over a long period of time and one day they wake up and cant live without it. So at first i gave this an upvote, but now after watching it you get a downvote, not because you werent correct but because you willingly lied to try to sway the audience in one way or another.
