In today's true crime documentary, we're covering the most twisted cases you've EVER heard. Watch Episode 1: • The Most TWISTED Cases... Watch Episode 2: • The Most TWISTED Cases... Watch Episode 3: • The Most TWISTED Cases...
Ok, anyone in this day and age who basically googles "how to get away with murder," on their personal device hours before they do murdery things is almost dumber than they are evil.
If I ever kill someone I'm fucked. I watch crime documentaries and Google weird shit about the law frequently out of curiosity usually brought about from watching crime shows. The FBI probably see some of what I do. I've mentioned publicly online that I've had homicidal ideation to kill my father for his abuse of my entire family, particularly my mother. Three years of therapy later and I'm doing great but I can't say I'm incapable of murder. It's my honest belief nobody is. If pushed far enough anyone can kill.
Too bad they didn't treat Casey Anthony's guilty ass the way they treated Louise in her case. The cases are damn near the same... and if they would have admitted Casey's search history into evidence for the jury to see... she would have undoubtedly been found guilty.
@@bluefaery1865 I know it's so sad...there was evidence that was not submitted properly...like her search history. If you watch the Marsha Clarke investigates episode on the A&E channel it's explains it and it's heartbreaking...I really hope they reopen the case. My heart goes out to that innocent child and I hope that sociopath pays for the life she stole from her.
I can't imagine being one of the first responders going to a call for a child hoping to save them, only to get there and realize they've been dead too long to do anything. Those poor babies. Terrible mother
@@user-ky7jx1cr5k I think the original comment is talking about the second story, if so, yes the mother is absolutely awful & to blame for the death of her children.
I'm not going to argue or debate it with you but both statistics and current psychological data disagrees with you heavily on this. I mean the reckless sex and vulnerable narcissism alone as well as the violent emotional outbursts towards her mother when questioned about the case within the context of this video are highlights and main factors and characteristics of BPD in and of itself. Let alone killing ones children Because they're viewed as an inconvenience and keeping you from fulfilling an unhealthy need for reckless sex and one can probably assume some sort of validation that's achieved whenever that occurs Some people experience BPD rage and some don't during their extreme emotional states Ultimately you deserve peace and a clear head and I hope you find that in your life time
As a mother of a toddler I had to pause the video during the second story and check on my baby. I can’t imagine how sick and detached someone has to be to hurt their babies.
Sarah is all grown up and well adjusted considering what she has been through. She's a beautiful soul!!! (My daughter and niece went to school with her and were her friends) This was such a scary Time for our town!!! Thank you for covering this awful crime!!!
It’s still scary to think about 11 years later. I remember walking to my friends house all the time and he just lived down the road so I ended up walking by his house to get to my friends.
Peace, im from NJ and remember when I was a kid in 80s a boy my age was kidnapped n it scared every kid for yrs, what this poor girl went thru and that sick po💩 etc I've also done time (for drugs n weapon) and these "animals " get protected by COs and if your lucky to "catch" one than by all means its a necessary means to put in work on em etc These animals are unforgivable n should never have the chance to reach a jail, justice on the streets 100% for them...Peace love n compassion to Sarah, so sorry✌🏻❤
Oh holy crap; I’d zoned out with this playing and absolutely did not expect to hear the name Matthew Hoffman. Kody was a classmate of mine and I was one of the last people to see him alive. We rode the same school bus and he lived only a few houses down from my best friend at the time. Heck I’m writing this I’m only a couple of minutes away at my parents’ house. I’m always so glad to see people sharing their story, despite it being horrifying it seems often skipped over in favor of bigger cases and this was something that absolutely rocked our little town and affected many of our lives. I graduated in 2018, and at the ceremony we had a chair with a cap and gown for Kody, and a rose for his mother. (Also, quick amend- Apple Valley is actually a former community/neighborhood, it’s in Howard township technically)
@@snorky184 Schools have tons of kids, is it that hard for you to believe that someone in this comment section knew the kid? Jesus you're a sad individual
Louise Porton was pure evil. The Father wanted the kids as well, she didn't have to kill them, she could have just let him have custody if she didn't want them.
She was probably thinking she could use them as excuses to ask money from people? Like that time she texted someone asking for gas money to take Scarlett to the hospital
@@Jeff.55649 do you even know what you're commenting on/talking about? she murdered her kids. so because they're her kids she has the right to kill them?
Raven, I would like to thank you for covering Shauna’s case. I live in Oil City and that case haunted us for so long. All 3 suspects are such garbage human beings. You gave Shauna a very well done telling of her story. She was a sweet little girl.
Obviously there's more too it than what raven said but why was the second murderer (the 17 year old) cleared because at the time he wouldve been 12 and not able to commit the crime. but that same police department dna tested the 12 yr old brother as a suspect. Glad they got the right people in the end but that seems so confusing to me
Story 2 is difficult for me… my daughter is named Lexi, at 19 weeks it was found that she had an obstruction in her airway, they told me she would not survive my pregnancy… stubbornly I advocated for her life and she survived - 4 experimental procedures and surgeries (one in my belly), later, she is a healthy, happy 7 year old and has made the medical journals, saving 4 other babies lives that we know of… it was very hard to watch a mother killing her daughter who shared the name Lexi with my daughter by obstructing her airway… what a monster!!!! What an unbelievably selfish woman - I hope she gets what she deserves in prison!!!
Your yt name suits you very well lol... I can only imagine what you've been through with your little girl and helping save those other babies... God Bless You for not giving up...❤
It was his voice that drew me into their videos in the first place - he has such a professional sounding narration voice, he could be the narrator of a netflix documentary!
@@jaleiawoods3932 omg I thought it was just me... I'm sure the other woman who narrated for EWU is a great person, I just can't stand her voice. The Raven's is perfect for true crime but is also a bit relaxing lol
“Raven “ is absolutely the greatest narrator . The ewu crew has a few really good ones but he is the best by far. Thanks for the amazingly disturbing content 🤣☺️, keep our comb
Mathew: "im ready to give you the locations of the other bodies" Police: "about damn time, ok lets hear it" Mathew: "but you have to shoot and kill me in a staged escape attempt" Police: 🤦
Absolutely love the narrators voice and style. The cases are definitely sad and tough to imagine happening and yet his voice makes it easier to digest and be thoughtful of the details.
Definitely one of my favorite narrators. I do miss when this was a family page but I get why the stopped being on camera when their jackass subs would set them up
@@antonilagares8453 if you binge everything EWU crew from the beginning like I did when I found them it starts as a father and daughter and family exploration page then kinda abruptly turns into true crime like this. Before they'd like go in the desert where people disappeared and one time definitely found q clue "dietcoke bottle cap" it was neat but I'm sure exhausting and then people start f-ing with you and your fam... no way I'd leave too...
Louise used PP as a model. I’ve used the same platform as a photographer, and it’s genuinely creepy knowing I could’ve come across her model portfolio and/or interacted with her on the websites forums. What a horrible, horrible woman, she didn’t care for her children at all, I’m devastated for the father, he should’ve had custody from the very start.
She is my niece my brother daughter and son and yes the mother moved there from Columbus and that is when a lot of crazy things were happening the kids didn't look happy anymore this tragic tor are family apart my mother there grandmother died 2 years later wich was hard for Sarah too she is doing a little better but she has gone through a lot we miss kody so very much rest in peace little man
Regarding mothers killing their kids, it is indeed "more common than most think." If you Google it, you will find that young children are more likely to be murdered (deliberately killed) by their mothers than by anyone else. Most people find it impossible and it is usually associated with postnatal depression or shaking them due to frustration. It's rare but many times more common than a stranger hurting a child.
I did think, surely every child that's a homicide, without also a reported or suspected abduction. Has to be the family, by sheer virtue of how children live.
Yeah my nan would have to look after both me and my mum, she was worried because my mum was depressed and wouldn't cook or care for me properly so she always visited me every week (sometimes more) my mother couldn't help her depression but it would've definitely been nicer to have a mum who didn't constantly yell when angry at something I didn't even do 😅
In general, people just have a hard time believing women can be evil at all, and when there’s evidence for it happening allot of freaks make excuses for them.
I never actually heard of the second case and I live in Warwickshire, UK. Social services in this area are absolutely useless so it doesn’t surprise me this was missed and was avoidable. Absolutely terrible.
LEAVES??? WHAT??? I’ve never heard about someone having leaves in their house! And being obsessed about leaves! Best channel! Great footage, pictures, interviews love love this channel!
The second one is strange. The mother’s sex life is described as proof of disregard for her children. And maybe that’s true. But I just want to point out that messaging 41 men, flirting with multiple men at jobs, and the photos aren’t normal. It sounds a lot more like manic hypersexuality or sex addiction. You see it in a lot of psychotic disorders and other disorders like bipolar disorder. I’m not excusing her or anything. Just saying that there’s some deeper demons here
I knew Matt Hoffman from middle school and the skating rink (we lived in a very small town). I honestly never thought much of him. He was the mysterious, brooding, good looking older guy. He was pretty much a happy guy on the outside. But this is a perfect example of when psychosis hits a person....never know what you're going to get.
I get that. I walked by his house almost every day to go to my friends house and went by during the time when they were still just missing on the news. I had no idea the horrors that went on in the house.
@@DemnRaig80 yep, unfortunately that’s the way of this world. A homicide happens every minute across the world, & about every half hour in the US. There’s a lot of evil out there. 😢
Crazy to me that one of Louise's daughters was diagnosed with an upper respiratory or whatever they said but it was actually a strangulation. How they didn't catch that is beyond me. And what kind of monster hurts their child just so they can get some d? Absolutely disgusting
I never understand why these parents that kill their children because they don’t want them when they could just give them up to adoption? How is murdering them a better solution then giving them up?
I hope all the guilty ROT in jail! And that Louise girl was too busy being a prostitute than wanting to be a mother. What an evil human being! Someone would have adopted them and given them precious childhoods! 😡😡
It’s like people who abuse and kill animals. They like to inflict pain on someone/something that’s vulnerable, small and won’t fight back. They feel powerful or something and will probably be able to commit bigger crimes in the future. So yeah, i agree.
Those innocent little girls should have been in their dads care. Even if she didn't want them any more, the fact that she didn't hand over custody too him is even more selfish. She would rather kill her own flesh and blood that have them live with their loving dad.
Being a sex worker or proud of it is not a statement of someone's character. It's a job. This woman was a monster long before she was a sex worker. Sex workers suffer from more criminality against them than almost any other groups- and usually can't get services for their injury, trauma, and pain.
@@kristinwojtowich8902 I think you understand very well what I mean. But I'm going to humor you anyway, since you 're acting dumb. I don't think anyone should be selling their own body or should be force to sell their body for anything. It's the only thing that is truly ours and i think that being proud of someone exploiting you does say alot about you.
I grew up knowing about the Shauna case as we were the same age. It's terrifying that she was doing the same normal typical things a child her age does and monsters came and took her away. I pray and hope she did not suffer. RIP beautiful
Dont lie to yourself in the face of the truth. That child suffered horrifically! Could you imagine being grabbed and then seeing two other people and realising that they are all in on it?! Seriously though women lie to themselves all the time to make things easier. Its pathetic.
I cant imagine a person within any realm of "sanity" doing to their children what Louise did, that must be broken soft ware from birth, not even horrible nurture can create such a monster
MATTHEW: I’m a bad person. I deserve to die for what I’ve done. I came up with an idea on how you guys can justifiably kill me. I’ve thought about it carefully DETECTIVES: Uhh … PROSECUTOR: I think we have enough to put you do death MATTHEW: *What. No* I’ll tell you everything you need to know! Please..
To be clear, I have no judgement for sex work- do what you need to do. But what a repulsive woman to sell photos and stuff in the HOSPITAL WHERE HER CHILD IS DYING!!!
One quick note: shaming women or mothers for not reacting the way you expect them to (emotional, in tears, etc) in cases of tragedy and distress is extremely misogynistic. When I stopped breathing as a baby my mom was very calm on the phone with the emergency call operator because she NEEDED TO BE in order to perform cpr. It is scientifically proven that women act more rationally in highly stressful situations than males. So why do we expect them not to? THAT BEING SAID: I'm only at the beginning of the 2nd case but judging by the comments, the mother in this case is an extremely vile person and most likely deserves to rot in jail.
“It might seem unfathomable to a normal person to think that a mother could intentionally hurt her children…” Having grown up with an abusive mother, I can sadly attest that it happens far more often than folk think. My mother psychologically abused me and was extremely ableist, she tried to withhold my medications because she didn’t believe my disabilities, enabled my brothers physical violence towards me when growing up and turned a blind eye when he would knock me out (or would just blame me), forced me to bring up my brother when I myself was a child and be fully responsible for him, and went out to party with random men. She wanted children but not the responsibility, so that fell to me, where my brother would take out his frustrations on me. Even after I left they continued to abuse me, the abuse just changed to more psychological, theft, forcing me to sleep on the floor when visiting them to “prove” I was actually bedridden disabled and not “making it up for attention”, thought my walking cane was for “attention” and to “flaunt my disabilities”, would try withholding my medications, I’d be blamed for my mothers mental health, told I was the reason she had depression, or I was the reason she wanted to kill herself, constant harassment, weaponising my disabilities. Eventually I cut contact because it was so, so toxic, and my mother was the ring leader encouraging my brother the entire time, to harass me, threaten me, send ableist abuse and weaponise my disabilities, and naturally she refuses to accept any responsibility. Mother’s like that can be incredibly dangerous, and what sucks is the system knew about said child abuse when I was a kid, but she always acted really nice towards the system and put on an act, pulling the “I’m a struggling single mother with ungrateful kids” act, when I was the one actually running the household, caring for my brother full time to feed him, clothe him, make sure he went to school, and had to care for her because she demanded it and I was trapped, and was unable to speak openly to the system because she made sure she was always around, and I was terrified. As an adult, I’ve permanent nerve damage from childhood abuse (physical violence, repeated hard kicks to the lower stomach area), cPTSD & PTSD, so for normal people it’s unfathomable to think a mother would intentionally harm her children, but it happens far, far more often than folk realise. I’m lucky that as an adult I have an unofficially adoptive family so I’m not lonely in the world, who love me unconditionally, something I didn’t grow up with, but it really did mess me up something rotten. I’m lucky she didn’t kill me, but some of the violent attacks I suffered caused head injuries when growing up to the point the hospital was shocked, because it had been my brother attacking me, my mother telling me I’d “deserved” the attack, and me walking to the hospital as a teenager thinking I’d get in trouble for calling an ambulance, some of these were serious concussions and apparently I could’ve been seriously hurt walking to the hospital, all the while my mother was rewarding my brothers behaviour. So sadly, as unfathomable as it seems, some mothers really are POS and evil.
I'm terribly sorry for everything! My dad was very abusive but with different methods than your mother. My day was a narcissist pedo and he hurted so many ppl. He isn't alive anymore. I like this Nietzsche's quote: Throw roses into the abyss and say; 'Here is my thanks to the monster who didn't succeed in swallowing me alive.' I did just that, and I know I'm mentally stronger than my abuser who was a weak shit. We survived, sister. I always try to be happy about that. Much love! ♥️
I can empathize with you...I suffered my physical and psychological abuse from a stepmother and my father....which lasted until I turned 15 (and 6' 6") and punched him in the head, my stepmother tried to hit me with a broom, which I broke...and told them both that no one hits me ever again. I moved out shortly after but have had to deal with the CPTSD for decades. This shit really fucks people up for their entire lives, I have been working at undoing decades of defense mechanisms...but I can think of maybe two people I actually trust.
I hate when they start off by judging how someone immediately reacts to an emergency or bad news. Ya, you can look back at someone charged with murder and say it was a clue. But that’s ignoring all the people who are completely innocent, yet appear outwardly calm. There is no 1 correct way to show grief. There are no rule books to follow to judge whether a reaction is acceptable or not. I’ve been assaulted. I have and can still describe what happened to me like I’m talking about what I bought at the grocery store. My lack of emotion in public has NOTHING to do with what a person is experiencing inside. It’s shit like this that gets innocent parents instantly blamed, with cops focusing on no one but them, all because someone decided they were sufficiently physically upset enough to qualify for the “innocent until proven guilty” part. And in case someone tries to twist this, I am not defending the mother who killed her kids. I’m not allowed to say what I think people like that deserve. But stop judging how someone shows grief or panic in a specific situation and use it as evidence. Panic, the realization that your baby is dead, that could completely shut you down. Having to repeat the story over and over and over can make it so you can finally tell it with no emotion, like it happened to someone else. It raises so much doubt, for both the guilty and the innocent. They need to just stop. Rant over. Thank you if you made it this far.
Yea as someone who is “neurodivergent ” I often react to shocking information differently than most and I’ve been accused of being nonchalant or cold when in reality I process things in my mind more than with crying
@@jaebyrd4608 I am also neurodivergent and my reaction to hearing that my grandpa had died was "Okay." Nothing less, nothing more. I didn't cry for him for multiple days and to this day, I can very calmly say that my grandfather is dead I honestly don't think it's because I'm neurodivergent, I jsut think it's how I react to "I have known for a long time" news. If someone one day showed up and told me one of my sisters had died, I would probably react the same way in the beginning. It's just one way to let you digest news, like putting them on the back burner until you can deal
Louise was truly one of the most wicked and horrible women I've ever heard off a mother is supposed to love her own children not murder them i just simply can't fathom how a murder could do such a horrible thing to her own children.
I never before noticed your "analysis qualification" being a master's in clinical psychology and I thought that was very interesting. I guess before reading that on the screen today, I just thought you were incredibly smart and understood people very well. 😊 It's been fascinating me more and more recently how many screwed up, fucked up, messed up people there are in the world and the things they're capable of doing to others. I mean the possibilities seem endless and it's so disturbing. Love your videos.
I could be totally wrong, but I think he puts up different analysis qualifications because he's spoken with experts, I don't think he is one. I only say that because I've seen many different analysis qualifications in these EWU videos. Again, I could be totally wrong, and he COULD be an expert!
You should do a video on my neighbors case - North Royalton, Ohio George Brinkmanship serial murders. He murdered a mother and her 2 teenage daughters GRUESOMELY and then went to his ex gf’s house and murdered her elderly mother & father on June 10, 2017. And then had a several hour stand off with the police. It was terrible. I helped the relative of the mother & daughters clean up the crime scene after the investigation was over and the mattress where police found the 3 women tucked in together - was drenched in blood. It was horrific.
I use to work for a company that did biohazard clean up, I've cleaned a death scene myself, the man struck his wife severely lacerating her face he then shot himself with a shotgun in their walk in closet when the police arrived.
I swear it's 9.30pm and dark and not 5 seconds after the boss knocked on the door, someone knocked on the front door of my actual house and I nearly screamed. The neighbours had food delivered and they got the wrong house. I might not sleep tonight. 😭
Newby here... got to say that it's refreshing to hear a narrator THAT DOESN'T SHOUT AT US (in an excited tone full of pathetic clichés). Glad I found you 😊👍🏼😎
All of those murderers were horrible human beings for what they did, although for me, number 2 was probably the most heartbreaking. I teared up and felt awful (even as emotionally numb as I am). It hurts so much when I hear of cases where the mother can do such evil things to her own children, especially children that young. The kind of person she is overall, she’s LUCKY she could have a chance back in society after 32 years, because if I had been the judge, she would’ve never have gotten out, not even in 500 years if that were even possible.
I lived just mins away from where this tragic crime took place to Tina and her children and friend. This is a small tight-knit community where crimes like this are merely unheard of. Truly a sad time for this town. Thank you for your coverage and your accuracy to details
Except for saying 911, I love to here British stories coveted. 90% of what I watch from the States is British crime videos. Britain is top of my Bucket List.
@@FoxExcess it was the age of the children, that was shocking, nothing to do with it being their mother, and it's a big shame that there's no death penalty here in the UK,
It’s tragic that we so often deny responsible caring fathers custody of children and instead give them over to their irresponsible, negligent, selfish, and immature mothers.
I love that you have both long and short videos I can watch based on my binge-hours and all of them are so well crafted! Well done. My heart hurts for the poor babies who were taken so soon. Some people shouldn't ever procreate.
For the first case, when the coworker first drove by the house & saw the truck there that means the killer was still inside! That’s creepy to know! She probably Me
I spoke to Dad, from the 2nd case on a YT video. This was actually one of the first videos I watched. It hurt my heart ♥️ I can only imagine how much it hurt him and their family. He really was absolutely devastated. He wanted to see his children. It’s so so tragic. RIP Lexi & Scarlet you beautiful angels 👼🏻
The Shauna Howe case's circumstances remind me so much of the Delphi Indiana murders, even though that happened 25 years later. Even down it being around a holiday. Even the age range is close, given that Shauna looked older than 11 years old, and Abby looked younger than 13 years old. Watch from 22:18
This was a crazy ride .. this guy is insane needs to be in a asylum not prison.. leaves obsession and frozen squirrels in freezer with red popsicles.. wait what?? Quoting the Raven and his narrations excellence.
Why was the mom of 2 not given death or life w no parole . it should be a life for a life & she took 2 innocent kids & inadvertently her own mother. Very furious about this . Texas laws aren't this way at all.
Idk when people say it's very disturbing when say a parent sounds calm when their child died isn't always a definite sign that they did it. Some could be doctors/ nurses and go straight into okay we need to do this- or it could be just the shock and the inability to know how to process that until much later- obviously this doesn't apply to that woman but idk man you just never know how you're going to react in that situation and you can always believe that you'll act the way you're "supposed to" but that's not always the case. Plus having mental illnesses can impact that too. Like I have bpd. My emotions ect are dependent on my "favourite person" therefore I genuinely don't know how I would react. I was all calm when talking to my dad when he went and put my bunny down but the second I wasn't talking to anyone and was alone I was crying to the point where I was screaming because I don't know how to process information like that
@@anneloving8405 I dunno, I’ve met some unsavoury dudes on tinder, tbh at this point squirrel meat is almost borderline acceptable when you’re 36 on tinder 😂😂😂
Your videos have been addictive to me lately. I really like your voice and the narration is clear and to the point. You also cover cases that I’ve never heard of before! Awesome work dude. Keep it up 👍
A good informative video considering you covered three separate stories really well in the amount of time most people take to tell half of one story. Great job 👏🏻 Subscribed
I have tarps, duck tape, and trash bags at my house. I even have butcher knives and a chain saw. But both of my ex wives are still alive. And I have never killed anyone.
I just have to say Thank you EWU crew for all your hard work on all your channels lately. It doesn't go unnoticed. It's been great to get up almost every morning to a new video, new cases with your excellent style. Keep it up 😉!! ❤️ From 🏴.
We meet again. We meet again Got my kid to bed on time. (730pm) he’s 4. Names Arkham. After Batman if that doesn’t say how awesome he is. I put him to bed. Pack a 🥣. Wash dishes. Shower. Blah blah blah. But for reals. You are always in my daily routine. I have episodes downloaded of you on apple podcast. Just. I’m. Case. Thank you for being you. Thank you fans for being better then any therapy. My long lost family here. Enjoy life my friends.
