The Most TWISTED Cases You've Ever Heard | Episode 7 | Documentary 

Can we take a moment to appreciate Roelf’s James Bondesque badassery. Shot in the face, burned, and chasing them down on a sled. Absolute legend.

What a brave dad Rolf was. Saved his daughter from death & worse without a doubt💪❤

That is one brave and devoted father. He could have laid there in agonizing pain, feeling like there was nothing he could do. Instead he got up and fought for his daughters, despite how badly injured he was. They’ll forever remember him as their hero and the bravest man alive. It’s because of him that they’re alive today.

My girlfriend is recovering from brain surgery for epilepsy, I’m working 15-hour days and I’m mentally and physically drained. The world outside my door is never short of distressing and horrific events, but your videos never fail to lift my spirits. The attention to detail and thorough writing and editing are incredible, and your channel is my favorite. Thank you for everything you and the team do. You have such a widespread positive effect on others and it is greatly appreciated.

It’s absolutely horrible that two men went to prison for something they never did and that even though they finally got out of prison. Their lives were permanently ruined. And it’s even more horrible to know this happens more than people think. I know no justice system is perfect but this story is a reminder of exactly why we must continue and never stop working towards at least improving our justice system.

Now that's a father! Poor Rolf survived an attempt on his life, only for it to be taken by cancer. Rest in peace, hero! ❤️ ❤️

Oh my gosh, the last story. I couldn’t stop laughing because that’s literally how you solve an Ace Attorney trial, by literally cross examining a parrot to show Edgeworth is innocent.

Just a side note, I read the story about Richard Danziger, the man in the second story who was proven innocent; he's doing great & has a wife, kids, loves to garden & with his millions from the settlement he was able to travel around the world, including Australia where he's always wanted to go. Anyways, he's never told on who beat him so bad that day in prison, the only thing that's known is that he was severely kicked in the head with STEELTOE boots. Now, it doesn't take a genius to know who wears steeltoe boots around the prisons & it's definitely none of the inmates.

In the second case, if Joseph hadn't come forward & confessed then the two innocent men would have died in jail labeled as guilty for the crime they didn't even commit. Had Joseph not already had a life sentence he probably would've not said anything at all. Only reason he did is because he wasn't ever getting out anyways. Just imagine how many times this has happened & is still happening? Lots of innocent men & women paying for a crime they didn't commit, usually because the cops want to get a quick closure to a case. I can't imagine nor would I want to imagine what hell it must be to have no freedom & locked up for the rest of life, especially for someone that's completely innocent. Also, for every person that's innocent within the jail, that equals one that's guilty outside the jail free within our society. THAT part scares the crap outta me!!

What scares me more than any crime or murder case, is someone being wrongly convicted for a murder they didn't commit. There needs to be a law holding corrupt & lazy police accountable. They can literally destroy your life based upon their incompetence & narcissistic egos,

The love that a parent has for their children is absolutely indescribable.. He really showed that he will do whatever it takes and you gotta go through Dad first. Very sweet 💕

The first story ending with the phrase "lightning never strikes twice in the same location" is quite unnerving to me. But I admire Linae and Tricia for their strength and resilience. And what an amazing father they had, a true hero.

First story should be made into a movie with Liam Neeson as Rolf

20:26 shouldn't that detective be fully responsible for whatever happened to Richard in prison? And also for the fact that they wasted 13 years of their most productive years? He should be sued and made to pay for it.

god bless the family, the girls acted so bravely and their father and uncle as well. i hope they found peace and know that their mother and grandmother are watching over them, proud that they survived.

No one gonna talk about how badass the father is?

Those detectives should be prosecuted for extracting a false confession.

Those grey parrots are super smart. I would trust what the bird says.

this is currently my favorite series on youtube. thanks for always putting out great content!

No amount of compensation will make up for lost time spent in prison you can't turn back the clock and relive those lost years.

"There's no way to cross-examine a parrot" Phoenix Wright would like a word with you

The parrot repeating the moments before the gunshots is insane.

Rolf is a damn hero

Hello 👋🏾 EWU fam . !! Here for another Disturbing stories . Showing love to EWU Crew , as Always great 👍🏾 details & the home videos are chilling.

Imagine getting put on death row, taken off of it, then put back on again. Haha. Wow, they rebuilt that cabin and still go back. I dont think i could do that.

The upload couldn't come at a perfect time. Looking for something to listen into while working. 👌🔥

Just in time with the best crew and narrator THE EWU CREW AND THE RAVEN, have a great and safe Friday and weekend everyone 😗😘😍

The way you write these scripts and include actual photos/videos/phone calls make the stories so much more entertaining. Thanks for all the hard work! Addicted to this channel lol

I literally watched a 3 min video about the parrot one!! It’s very interesting

THIS DAD IS AN ABSOLUTE LEGEND

Have you ever done a story on Linda Lou Charbboneau and her daughter . It happened in Delaware between 2002-2004. Linda was due to get the chair, and her daughter and son-in-law are in prison. Killing both jimmy sprouts and his uncle John Charbboneau, one was buried alive!!!

Hi 👋 Ewu Crew you should do a documentary on the lenz brothers their case is really twisted and scary. Thanks 😊

glad your the one telling all the stories now, your channel will grow FAST

The best true crime channel out there! I've already binged watched all your videos❤️

That second segment is a blow to the pseudo-science of interpreting a suspect's innocence/guilt when interrogating them.

If you are a true crime fan, EWU is the only channel you'll ever need. Excellent content and narration. Seriously great work guys love your stuff!

Thank you for explaining what aggravated means. I’ve always wondered that in cases!

Man, this is horrific. Clearly, all murder is awful, but attacks on seniors is another level of cowardess. May all those who did not make it home rest in peace. Respects and sympathies to the family and friends of the ones who have passed on. May they rest in peace and be remembered forever 🙏

I saw an African grey parrot and turned the vid on right away Is there a parrot in this?

Amazing as always EWU💙

21:12 The interrogation process itself can provide suspects with such information as can such as polygraph examinations. Add to that how malleable and suggestible memory is (huge issues here as far as testimony consistency is concerned) and you have a recipe for disaster for innocent people. Plus when you isolate someone for hours during the course of the aforementioned interrogation, people often will say just about anything to end it. The many potential errors of homicide investigations should be openly addressed by such a channel. It does a good job of pointing out how there's no nonverbal indicator for deception (of course not because not even brain imaging can do that), and how establishing baseline behaviors, deviations, and other explanatory factors for said nonverbals, are but shys away from how often confirmation bias and the like can compel LEO to pursue some paths over others despite the signs that were accessible at the time.

Hands down this is by far the best crime story channel out there. The Level of research and accurate analysis is outstanding. Fantastic work @EWUCrimeStorytine

African grey in the family household... They can pick up convos that hold EXTREME emotion. The AG must have been emotionally traumatized to remember the conversation esp on both sides. So sad. Ours is a rescue and she's wonderful. She came from a stressed out home previously... "F*^% you, dad!” She would yell that all the time. Not so much anymore.

I really enjoy your explanations about court terminology!

Really appreciate the structure and details in these cases, and they're well presented, though I'm struggling with the "double exposure" style effect - it makes the names hard to read and I'm not sure it enhances the images any. The background audio is good though, unintrusive yet atmospheric.

Your voice reminds me of the narrator from "A Haunting" I honestly love it. ❤

They should’ve had the bird on the stand! No bias, just exactly what he heard

The second story is why the death penalty should not exist. Telling a suspect "either you confess and live your life in prison or you don't and you're dead" is immediately eliminating the possibility that they are innocent, even before trial.

That is really sad about the first story but at the end they said lightning doesn't strike the same place twice yes it does 🙏

Ahh. Once again EWU crew is here to start my day off right 👍. Thank you for explaining about the "aggravated" points. I always thought it sounded a bit redundant as assault/robbery /rape would all aggravate me. Just goes to show you can teach an old dog new tricks 😉. 💙From 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Yas yas yas 🙌 happy to be back♡

The bird story is by far the coolest way to figure out who the murderer was! 🐦

I remember watching the second story on an episode of forensic files. Normally i would ask how in the world would someone confess to such a brutal crime they didnt commite, but after seeing the way police were during interrogations in the 80s and 90s i can understand this kid being coerced and scared to death

Ya know the adage “All great minds think alike”? Well so do evil ones.... most criminals know how they pull off a crimes or handles certain situations.... you’d be surprised at how many are the same

Oh my God. The father in that first story was a fucking miracle. He even chased after the men that took his girls. Never get between a dad and his children!!

I remember seeing the one case with the two girls that were taken hostage years ago. On 48hrs or something. They must have been so scared!

Ohmygod that dad is a badass

Damn Rolph.. dude experienced all humans worst fears .. love murdered.. kids taken and cancer ..? Holy shiiit

Yeo Rolf is the definition of badassery

that last one was something else!!

All of the "investigators" that do that should serve the sentence that the innocent person gets, including but, not limited to... the death penalty. This has to stop.

I lived in sand lake the first 20 years of my life, and I’m only 23 and I’ve 100% heard of this case, why did I not realize until this video that this was in my home town. It’s so small it’s not even a town it’s a village.. wth.

Thank you for the legal annotations and explanations- our Penal Code is taken from American jurisprudence and law so even though I am not American this serves as a great review for my Criminal Law subject.

"Lightning never strikes twice in the same place." Everyone in Florida: 👀

What a hardcore pair of brothers. Great job.

Thanks!

The first story is on I Survived. Recently released on youtube if anyone is interested

Man I swear it felt like I was watching a scene from a movie when I heard that Rolf was following behind to save his girls 🦸‍♂️. I've listened to hundreds of hours of your videos of all kinds of tragic cased but the Tiede case made cry. The heroic act and love for his girls, gave Rolf the strength to protectand survive. Cannot forget the brother who instinctively knew something was wrong. Extremely unfortunate and sad, but beautiful ending!

I hate how most justice workers just care about a conviction. They don’t care about the truth or true justice but either just sticking to a gut feeling that might be completely wrong just because they feel like it isn’t. or they just don’t care and convict anyone they can to be done with it.

Yes 🙌🏼 thank u for the upload ! I absolutely 🖤 ur content !! Thank u tremendously for taking time out to shed light on these dark situations. I can’t believe how evil people can be! It’s a shame. Lots of 🖤

Uhm that snowmobile dad is a freaking bad ass.

I have to say that Raven has the perfect voice for this channel! I could listen to this guy read the bible and I'm an atheist. Lol

Richard's case really breaks my heart

Glenna’s case should have been a full episode. That was crazy.

In the first Ace Attorney game, you cross-examine a parrot in a murder trial

Its disgusting that dirty cops that abuse innocent people are rarely punished

Hell is empty. All the devils are here.

There was a case in India where the parrot was the one who identified the murderer. It's on SBS animal farm channel. It's similar to the third case.

Opening the Christmas presents!! 😂

First time I’ve ever seen a parrot bleeped 😂

Jesus God the first case is oh my God just so bad. Opening their gifts, talking about it on camera that they're going to murder the family, knowing that these people were going to come to the cabin just based on the gifts under the tree. Then being ambushed like that. And the dad taking Dad was probably the best thing ever because the girls probably wouldn't have made out alive of whatever they were going to do. Holy mother of God this is so bad. They're poor Mom and Grandma being killed was just so bad

Turns out the parrot was a stool pigeon.

I remember the 3rd story very well, BUSTED BY A BIRD IS FANTASTIC!!!! lol 😂

You are an excellent narrator..👍

King of dads thats for sure 👑

Your own damn bird got you! 😂😂

I feel so bad for that parrot having to relive that it's almost like a parrot has PTSD

Those birds are amazing creatures.

ABSOLUTELY 💯 MY #1 FAVORITE TC STORY TELLERS!!!!!!HAVING ADD YOU ALWAYS KEEP ❤ MY ATTENTION. XOXO 😘

Gosh, that first story is heart breaking! That dad proves just how far someone will go to protect their family. What a stud! And those evil bastards who committed such horrific and senseless crimes, sitting there on camera, opening the families gifts with such arrogance, they stood no chance against a fathers love for his family.

I had an African Gray parrot for 30 years. They're very very smart, but they don't pick up conversations that fast. They must have fought alot and Glena had to be abusive to her husband. That bird pick up words and phrases they had to have said to each other lots of times. So she was obviously threatening him for some time. Very sad.

I would love to know how many killers and rapists are shaking who got away with their crimes back in the day but now realize that DNA is catching up with them. Confession are just flimsy.

As a law student, i love that you take time to explain specific terms and educate listeners about crimes and their consequences. You are more than a story teller and that's why this is my favorite channel ❤️ I love your content

How many years in prison and brain damage did Detective Hector Polanco receive for false arrest, intimidation, unlawful imprisonment against Chris and Richard, and for aggravated bodily harm against Richard? After all, he was, by and large, an accomplice to the attack on Richard, and the justice system also for acting in concert. It is only when the makers, keepers, and enforcers of law are held accountable for actions that impact the lives of others, that there could ever be any real justice.

Oh my god as soon as I saw the thumbnail I knew it would involve the case where that African gray parrot essentially solved a murder. There’s a reason why African grays are considered to be one of the most intelligent animals in nature.

"There's no way to cross examine a parrot." Phoenix Wright would say otherwise.

The Tiede family is tough, even the daughters fixing up the cabin and taking it back for themselves is beyond badass considering what almost happened to them.

Rolf is a LEGENDARY HERO!!! SO HAPPY HE SURVIVED HE SAVED HIS DAUGHTERS LIFES AGAINST ALL ODDS WHAT A DAD!!! 💖

The Danziger and Ochoa one is so frustrating. Railroaded right into life sentences just because someone thought maybe they drank a toast to someone that died. Ridiculous; cops just wanted an easy win on that one.

Never clicked a notification so fast can’t wait to watch the whole episode. Keep up the good work team you make work a little less boring.
