The Murder of Brooke Preston & the Truth About Hulu's "Dead Asleep" 

Will there be any other restocks?

I'm confused about the Nancy Grace thing?

Will they restock these again sometime soon or no?

@Valerie Lynn me too so sad about it!

I remember when u mentioned the bracelets last time . I'll definitely have to check out the site 😊

This is so true. Breaks my heart

thas why im always on hbo

What?? They gave the murderer a documentary !? That’s horrible

@@kelseylandon1224 Ew, not sure if you're young or just a disgusting human being but what a fucking terrible comment. Have some compassion.

@@kelseylandon1224 imagine someone in your family that you’re close to was murdred and someone told you to just get over it

literally like no matter the relationship i would feel very uneasy and uncomfortable and scared

@@sophietucker6249 right! That behavior is beyond dark, and horrific!

Yeah after seeing that, I don't know if i'd ever come back. I'm a super forgiving and patient person too, but that would shake me in a way i've never been before.

Major creep vibes for sure

Swear. I would’ve left. Hell no

All of the information is public knowledge. No one needs permission to make a movie about a topic. You may not like it but that doesn't make it illegal (or should be illegal).

@@coryCuc It’s just sad for the family….

@@KamrynnASMR That it is for sure. My suggestion would be for the family to stay off social media. It's not helping when they are reading all of the comments and making tiktok videos. They can obviously do what they want but it's like trying to dig a hole in the sand with the waves crashing in. They'll never be fast enough.

@@coryCuc Yes that makes since. But personally if that happened to me as well I would probably post about it too just to let the word out. It’s hurtful to them just because in the documentary they focus more on the killer than the girl who lost her life. I would be upset too but i get what you’re saying. Maybe it’s just their way of grieving.

@@KamrynnASMR I get it. Some would post about it. Other's wouldn't. What I don't get is if the family was going to post about it, why didn't they just agree to be a part of the film and their side of the story would have been included in the film and every time someone watched it, viewers would know there was more to the story than what is being told. But instead they declined (I know the reasons, but the reasons just don't make sense) and then make tiktok videos explaining what they could have explained in the film? It just doesn't make sense. For one it's not a documentary. It's not meant to be a factual record of events from both sides. It has an angle. It has a focus (which is the sleep walking defense). This is more of a show/movie etc... But second, they only focused on the defendant because he was using a defense that not many people have used. This film wouldn't have been produced had he used virtually any other defense other than "sleepwalking." That's why the film was made and received the publicity it did. I totally agree with you...I've never lost a loved one, so I have no idea how I'd react if the producers called and wanted to do a show/movie on their murder, that's for sure.

yep! these are my thoughts!

Yes, I think you're right.

I can believe that he did this while very drunk

Yep! 🙌🏻

I think your intuition is dead on. I think he was wasted drunk, got mad she rejected him and killed her. He’s awful.

@@babygrrl042 it’s honestly the anything that even makes sense.. I think what he did was absolutely horrible but I believe that’s the reason.

Where do you get this motive??? She never said a thing about rejecting him. you know that she DEFINITELY would have told her friend that OMG can you believe Randy tried to kiss, touch, whatever with me???? But did not say a word except his weird closet thing, which definitely sounds like sleepwalking…naked and saying shhhhhh?? That’s not seductive. I don’t believe he was sleep walking when he murdered her, but let’s not say there were things that weren’t. Even all of her friends and relatives have said he was never romantically interested in her.

@@virgoqueen76 he was drunk when he was in the closet that happened the night prior to the murder..so he was not sleep walking..

So sorry for your loss

Hulu did asked them to be a part of it and they decided not to do it because they didn't want to revive/relive the trauma, but here they are doing the same but on their terms; but I do understand they not wanting to be part of something that tries to humanize the killer of their daughter/sister. Kendall acknowledge it at the end of this video. My brother was also killed, in June 2016 and even though the police know who did it because the have the killer's electronic monitor device route placing him the day of the murder at the exact place where my brother's body was found -he was found 5 days later- and where my brother's car was found totally incinerated; they deemed it "circumstantial evidence" and he's out on parole for other crimes and never charged with my brother's homicide.. I'm sorry for your loss and Preston's loss because I have felt that incredibly indescribable pain and agony of having part of your soul ripped out of your chest. There's no alleviating or minimizing it, you just learn to breathe and live with the pain.

I’ve seen taken here on RU-vid! So sorry for the loss of your brother!

Bs

@@madisonakers176 what reason would I have to come up on here if it was bs? Stay pressed tho bro.

Really? That’s creeeepy 😳

@@kaycguide she met him through a friend of hers. Her friend knew his father, I think they had went to school together or something at one point. So when my mom and her friend were out at the bar and saw Randy Jr, that's how they were introduced. Whenever they went to the local bars and saw him and a few of his friends, they'd sit and talk and be nice. They went to his farewell party when he was moving to Flordia. He was talking like he was excited for the change and everything, so it was wild when news of this broke. There was a lot of rumors floating around at the time on what his motive would have been and a lot of people said it was because she rejected him. But, you know how small town rumors are.

Random question that doesn’t have anything to do with this case but my 3 year has bad night terrors, like to the point his body gets tense and he shakes and screams and will look at you but will look terrified and you can tell he isn’t aware he’s looking at you..the more you try to calm him down the more scared he gets. Talking to doctors and doing my own research I’ve heard it’s considered a sleeping disorder, since you talked about sleep walking is there anything you can do to wake someone up or help them in that situation considering they aren’t aware of what’s really going on? I know sleep walking is different than night terrors but I would assume people would need to handle someone the same way who is going through that. Does it make is worse to wake someone up or is it best to just keep them from hurting themselves? Sorry for such a random question but I hate it when he has them and I feel helpless like there isn’t anything I can do to help him and the more I try to wake him up the worse it is

@@brittanyreed4377 honestly I don’t now a lot about sleeping walking from a medical stand point, idk what the best option is. I guess as a kid I would sleep walk sometimes and my mom would just guide me back to bed, but it was never a bad dream. With my husband it’s always been a bad dream, and I’m in fight or flight mode. The one where I dropped a ripped a wall hanging off the wall and dropped it on him, then picked my night stand out causing a giant gash and bruise on my leg and then started banging the door and screaming, I was dreaming that a man has broken into our home and was standing over me thinking I was asleep. In my dream, which was very much reality, I thought I had the upper hand, and decided to attack him while he thought I was sleeping. I was right in the middle of jumping on this man, when my husband in reality flipped the lights on. It was a very jarring experience, to be pushed from what you thought was reality into actually reality. It caused me to collapse in a heap on the floor and hyperventilate. But the way I was screaming and destroying the room he thought I was actually being attacked and didn’t know what was going on. As for when I punched his arm, he said I never woke up and just rolled back over. When he asked me about it in the morning, I told him I had a dream ( again ver vivid) that a ground hog was digging under our garage foundation and I went out back to kill it before it ruined our foundation 🤷‍♀️. I’m not sure if that helps or gives any insight…..I think the best opting is to take it on a base by base situation. If he seems to be a danger to him self or others, wake him up. If he’s just incoherent and wondering around, guide him to bed 🤷‍♀️. Hopefully you’ll be able to find a solution. Umm, also, you might ask him ( if he can verbally yell you), if anything has been bothering, stressing, or upsetting him. Little kids can get stressed over what we think are little things, and can easily over look them. Or maybe you know if somthing stressful going on. Personally, if I’m stressed I’m more likely to have a sleep walking episode.

@@CristinSierra thank you for replying, yeah he never sleep walks or even gets out of bed..the most he’s ever done is sit up and try to stand up but he just tosses around..it’s more just screaming and kicking and hitting at nothing. I have noticed if someone has the tv on and something happens that is loud he will have one a little while after or if he hasn’t gotten a good nap that day

@@brittanyreed4377 hey! I suffered from night terrors for awhile when I was younger so maybe I can provide insight. Don’t try to wake them up- it will only cause anxiety and definitely do NOT restrain them because you will get hurt or they will get hurt. Best thing you can do is reassure them, try to keep a consistent bed time schedule especially if they are young, and make sure they aren’t overtired. If the night terrors always happen at the same time each night, my mom would try to wake me up around 20 minutes before and it would prevent them 9/10 times. Talk in a coal voice too. Don’t try to wake them, but their brain somehow still processes that there is a soothing presence and it will calm down the activity. You can also try to turn the lights on to prevent anxiety and confusion from shadows. But what really stopped mine was buying a fan. I know it sounds stupid, but warm temperatures are proven to influence night terrors. Having a colder room and a little buzzing noise helped a lot. Hope this helps a little!

Thank you!!! I was thinking the exact same thing!

There are no holes...just bullsh-t.

Not to mention, if he's sleep walking and stabbing her, how the hell didn't her screams alone "wake" him up, not to even mention the fact that he cut his own hand in the process.

Not defending him at all, but I have sleep texted someone before. His story has so many holes tho.

@@zoeroux4222 I've answered the phone in my sleep and had conversations I do not recall in the slightest, but stabbing someone to death is a far cry from sending a text or answering a call. Plus like you said his story has too many holes. Main point being that he physically did not have enough time to fall into that deep of a sleep.

I hate that her sister and family have to spend their every waking moment obsessing over her death and the public’s opinion. I really hope they find some peace and are able to move on as much as possible.

Yeah, when he says “someone was murdered “ instead of saying her name, that was him distancing himself from the victim. Because he fully knew what he was doing.

So sorry to hear this…I’ve been through it and it is hell on earth but I promise it does get better with time 💜

Sending love & healing to you

I pray the Angels wrap their arms around you for comfort. I’m so sorry for your loss.

Thank y’all so much. I feel so alone but I know there is beautiful people like happy❤️❤️

I'm so sorry that you're going through that. I've been through it myself three times three years in a row. Sending you love , light , and hugs babe ✨❤️😘🥰.

To be fair, if he truly was sleepwalking, then being sentenced to life in prison is an absolute nightmare on top of the nightmare of knowing you murdered someone. I'm not convinced he was sleepwalking, but also not convinced that he 100 percent wasnt. I would hate to be on that jury.

Tell South Korea that, you can basically get away with murder there if you were just drunk at the time, needs big reforms

Exactly. Alot of ppl get drunk and dont suddenly commit murder. I feel like being drunk just exposes your true intentions.

Thank you for sharing this. It’s so interesting!

He was not on any medication to my knowledge. Unless he was hiding it from me. (Which I don’t see any reason to do that)

@@jordanpreston9000 sending love and healing to you and your family ❤️

There are people who do have sleep disorders. I have some narcolepsy problems where if I'm already tired I can be reading one minute and the next minute I'm dreaming. To look at me while doing this you would think I was still reading. I wonder with him still being intoxicated if he had problems like this or if he just plain old blacked out. No matter what in the end he is still responsible for what happened. God bless her family and friends.

Very interesting!

I had this exact same thought, and wondered if it’s physiologically possible for him to have been in a deep enough sleep to be ‘sleep walking’ only minutes after he was awake enough to say goodbye and point out where the tee shirt was. It kind of seems like he lured her there with the whole tee shirt thing, to make a final attempt at some kind of romantic display, then put on this whole act. Very weird, and SHAME on Hulu. I always have hated that platform.

I was thinking about this the entire time. I was so annoyed that they kept trying to push that narrative, I can imagine how angry her family and friends felt.

exactly, how did he have time to fall asleep into a deep sleep then commit the murder? 20 stab wounds take TIME

I was thinking that too! the whole defence just seems suuuper contrived and as you said, very convenient

i remember doing things in my sleep and going right back into REM sleep after. it's not impossible.

I was thinking this the entire time during the documentary

That's conveniently "forgetting". He knows exactly what he did and why he did it.

No no That’s not repression honey That’s a sociopath LYING Nothing more Nothing less

I thought the same thing.

EXACTLY!!! Disgusts me!!! I’m happy they denied his appeal. He deserves to rot! Prayers, positive energy and light to her family 🙏🏽🕊

He was guilty. I am proud of this jury.

It actually sounded really childish

@@LeneeLenee he is a killer though. he killed someone. how is that childish ?

@@LeneeLenee i agree. I understand she is trying to validate the family’s side by doing that. This video after all, is For the victim and her family to share Their story, not to cover the whole story. So in that context, it fits the purpose. Do I agree w keep keep calling him a killer? No, because the “killer” is human too and deserves to be addressed with a name, at the very least. What I mean is yes, he is her killer, and so it makes sense to be referred to as such. but that label doesn’t have to replace his name and identity. He is still a person.

@@chelseyconner It’s childish sounding to not be mature enough to just use real names vs. “the killer” 🙄

@@LeneeLenee he brutally murdered their sister/friend. i don’t think it has anything to do with being mature. i probably wouldn’t be able to say his name either

Seriously!

Randy drank to much took drugs a got fat he was a mess then he killed off to jail randy

please submit this to her victim form!! i’d love to see a video about this. I’m so sorry for your loss 💗

Yes this case should be coved

This case should definitely be covered!

with permission from her mother and sister, you should definitely submit her case to this channel

this case should be covered! Please submit her case. I'm from Southern Maine and I have never even heard about this! My thoughts and prayers to you and your family

It's definitely something she shouldn't have done she would have took that sign for what it was it might have saved her

@@kellincakubica277she probably wanted to give him a chance since they had been extremely close for years! 😭😭 but yeah big red flag that your “friend” hides naked in your closet.

I just don't understand how she could still trust someone she found nude lurking in her closet. Women have to learn to see the red flags. It truly shoes how badly she wanted to see the good in people

The N3 stage (when you actually sleep walk) takes AT LEAST 20 minutes to get to. There is no way he was sleep walking!

​@@lalam6320 My best friend is like that... Too forgiving + she sees people as good first, when i meet people i first assume that i cant trust them, but tbh that because i got raped by people i trusted the most and i got almost kidnapped... People who havent seen the dark side belive that for exsample their good friend hidding in their closet nacked couldve been a bad prank, i would never talk to that person ever again. At the end of the day its still not the victims fault, its so sad that we live in a world where as a woman you cant even trust your male friends...

and if he was truly remorseful he would take responsibility for his actions and want to spend his life behind bars for what he has done.

Yup.....being remorseful shouldn't mean that you get to go free. If you do the crime, you gotta do the time. period.

It's not that he's remorseful, they alleged that this aspect of the trial was unfair because it would've substantiated the sleepwalking defense. And it is true technically, if you omit that he is, of course this explanation will seem pretty improbable. It should've been included. I don't buy that he was asleep mind you, but I've heard worse reasons for appeals.

Yes, even if he was remorseful he would accept his sentence. If i murdered someone I cared abut I would try to get as mush jail time as possible and not try to get out of it. Like Danie P said taking responsibility

It would give me a little peace if the killer of my loved one showed remorse than cold heartedly not … it just would.

How was he awake to give her the T-shirt, but then asleep during the murder???? Liar!

@@helianabanes4875 Exactly! Liar!

I agree - i dont believe that nonsense! And even if it were true - do we really want someone who goes around murdering people in his sleep to live freely?! I sure dont … so either way he should be in prison for the rest of his life.

There is no way he was asleep. He was jealous of Brooke's relationship.

@@Lina_al_j Good point.

Sadly, the documentary is proof that things can be spun a certain way and be more one sided than they actually are.

I also saw the doc before. The documentary made me feel so incredibly disgusting. They tried so hard to paint him in a good light.

This is exactly what I was thinking!

like father,like son.

Does sound premeditated. And also yeah stabbing is up close and personal that is a crime of passion

I agree 100%!!! Also considering what he did the night before!

It really reminds me of how actress Dominique Dunne was lured out of her house by her ex and subsequently killed by him.

I feel like it was a bait too

Completely agree! This stuck out to me.

Definitely sounds made up. Why didn't he mention it before that morning? Also- the timeline doesn't make sense. He was awake enough to call her back and have a conversation with her and give her the shirt but then immediately drop off into such a deep sleep that he gets up, finds a knife and kills her? I'm not buying. If her friend had come in with her it might not have happened. And what's up with the man who heard her screaming and shrugged it off? Ugh

Yeah, I honestly think THIS is the most telling of all. Happens when she’s supposed to move to another state and didn’t extend the invite to him this time? Too much of a coincidence.

exactly.....im a sleep walker...i tend to be one that talks or minor movement. i have had some events i walked or stood there like a wierdo staring at nothing. i have a history of it since i was a kid. you dont just suddenly have sleep walking episode and a violent one at that and magically remember everything but the actual murder. that doesnt happen. now i get blanking out due to trauma as some have been proven to have happen, but that too is a very rare thing to happen. hes full of it.

And her sister just happened to not be there as well...he seen that as an opportunity

@@DragonFox84 do you think that someone who wouldn’t kill while awake would kill while sleepwalking? It’s the same person, awake or asleep right?

@@DragonFox84 that's what gets me. It's just so sudden that it doesn't make any sense. I really wonder if it was the alcohol and he repressed the trauma afterwards of seeing what he did it his friend. The crying makes me think that he does have regret.

Yep, you hit that nail on the head. So true. ❤️💜💚

jus sounded like a bad trip 2 me...

@@deadassdgaf100 no

@@deadassdgaf100 I was wondering if he makes Xanax with alcohol and that’s why he could not remember? I wonder if they drug tested him.

I have seen people do weird stuff when they are drunk so i really don't think it is sexual in nature

Right, an unfortunate awareness of all women and people who actually listen to women. Yet we have so many pod cast d.bags pretending that isn't the reality =/

That sounds more like a night terror, which can definitely be stress induced. Thank God you were able to snap him out of it.

100% one of my son suffers from night terrors and has lashed out (with fists as he doesn't sleep with knives) but the moment we scream his name he snaps out of it, then looks at us like were silly for being in his room.

My ex put me in a leg lock while we were sleeping. As soon as I yelled he woke up and couldn't believe he did it. He was so sorry even though he didn't hurt me. I don't believe he was sleep walking.

@@danielleoldfield5952 you don’t sleep with knives? Why that’s crazy talk 😂😂😂 I got such a kick out of that ☺️

@@kamaropayne5226 Nor my sons ;)

I wouldn't call it love, you don't kill people you love. Infatuation I can definitely see being a motive though, especially given his behaviour the night before. Poor Brooke

That's exactly what Dr. Grande said when he analyzed the case. There were situations where mixed signals could have been interpreted especially by an intoxicated mind.

@@emilyflavell1658 Yes, i 💯 agree with you. It was infatuation, not love. Just couldn’t find the right word since English is not my native language.

Same-I had it on my watch list and i’ve removed it. He still breathes so he doesn’t need a voice and Hulu giving him one is breaking the unwritten rule we as true crime watchers keep-Honor the victim.

It's on Netflix too I stumbled across it

if you havent watched but want to see what they say in it maybe find it free online somewhere so you dont give hulu any money :) and sign the petition of course!

@@caitlinskye131 yes! I signed bright and early this am!

It's really cool that there's a venue for a counterpoint, in the old days there would have been no fighting the big channel narrative

I signed and I don't even have hulu in my country, it's absurd.

Thank you guys for signing it, I know it means a lot to her family ❤

signed hoping it gets taken down hulu is terrible for this

Yes! I remember signing it also x

idk how it's even legal to do that if the victim's family didn't consent to it. There needs to be more laws for things like this.

I’m glad I learned this so I can make sure to not watch it now.

I feel the same way. I litterally watched the documentary last night and then this video came out.

Same! I feel disgusted now that I gave it a view 😞

This happens All the time… we all watch these movies and shows with no problem 🤷🏼‍♀️

I don’t think people are making excuses, but this kind of thing does happen unfortunately. He’s absolutely responsible, but we don’t even know why he would do this and simply discussing the mental stability of a killer isn’t making an excuse

@@NicoleReign yes they are making excuses for this useless murdering blob.

I totally agree!

Right, literally just get rid of them. Normal people don't react that way and I really don't care about what these killers were like before. Throw them all away.

@@ashleytaccone5298 every person is capable of killing someone under the right circumstances. You are and I am. That threshold however is different for every person. “Getting rid” of murderers makes us no better than them.

Hulu doesn't need permission from the family to share public information. Yes it sucks the family has to relive it wmbut what Hulu did wasn't illegal

@@nmm913That’s literally what they said..

They did the same thing with the show “the act”. Hulu doesn’t care and they get away with it because people watch those shows.

Totally agree

I completely agree

Agree 100%.

1000000% this

THIS. Fact.

Exactly what I was thinking. I wouldn’t want a murderer who had no control over whether or not they murder someone just roaming the streets

If it were true, it would give him manslaughter and much less time in jail.

True, but in that case if he was ACTUALLY telling the truth (in which he's not, I don't believe a word) do you really think JAIL is proper? Being punished in a place for criminals because of something you can't handle? I'd say under complete medical and mental surveillance instead and be completely locked down when sleeping to prevent incidents. But he's just a murderer lying about sleepwalking, which is d**kish because people do numerous things whilst actually sleepwalking, and someone could actually end up murdering someone completely unintentionally and actually would want help and to be monitored to protect people, but because of him obviously it ruins sleepwalking credibility because he's plainly lying. Just like r*pe, sleepwalking crimes would be hard to prove already, and people lying about it makes it harder for those actually effected to get the proper help and safety.

Exactly!!

so what?

Would u feel the same if u were the one who was sleepwalking? Since we r referencing the law, it states a person has to be of sound mind to be convicted. That is why they have insanity pleas. Theoretically someone sleeping certainly is not. I honestly don't know whether this guy was or wasn't sleepwalking nd its not for me to judge or figure out. But really? Its so easy to self righteously point ur finger when its not u. Smh.

@@jkd2817 he took someone’s life. and i’m sure he doesn’t feel that he deserves his consequences no matter what, considering he’s a murderer. even if he was sleepwalking, he took a life. would you want someone capable of that to be free to do it again?

@@jkd2817 so in this situation, i tend to care more about how the grieving family feels then the perpetrator.

@@jayceekingrey7578 if u think my comment was about consideration of his feelings then u missed the point entirely. 🤔

@Jaycee Kingrey You're suggesting we put people in prison for crimes that could possibly happen in the future? It's "do the crime, do the time," not "do the time, not the crime."

Exactly what i thought! He knew once she had collected all her remaining stuff and her car she’d not be visiting for a while again and be starting her life in new york with her boyfriend x

Exactly the timing of it being the last time he was gonna see her is not a coincidence

Right! I was thinking the same.

An all too common occurence, I am afraid.

Sadly also agree with this, he got enough liquid in him to act on it.

This is clearly BS

But he IS serving a life sentence? That should be a closure ...

Right? Honestly the shirt thing sounds like a ploy to get Brooke to the house. If so it was a premeditated thing, too.

I 100% agree with you, within the time space of things happening I don't think like the specialist said that he had enough time to get into deep enough sleep. There is also the fact that his mother could have made up the whole sleep walking thing to support his story too

Yes. So many women get murdered for saying “no”.

I think you’re right: Probably similar to Brian Laundrie and Gabby Petito.

I used to sleepwalk as a kid and it would happen a few hours into the sleep cycle. If he was up and coherent enough to have a conversation, I don't think it's possible for him to fall back into a deep enough sleep to actually get into that state and not know what was going on.

What’s the whole story with Nancy Grace? I though she does a lot for families of crime victims and was a prosecutor.

why did she block

@@SherriShaverfrom what I can gather is Kendall mentioned how distasteful Nancy is towards victims families and Nancy blocked her 😬😬 that’s just what I’ve read

Definitely could’ve been left out of this video. Mile High gang should take the high road here.

His crying and that baby was so fucking annoying… like I wanted to punch him in the face he was that annoying

@@eden20111 for real! It’s the theatrics for me. Like SPEAK UP, that baby voice and those fake tears aren’t going to save you.

@@babygrrl042 It was so weird that he kept talking like a child and mumbling

ikr!!!

Yes I agree with this, but when he killed her, he wasn’t drunk. He was completely sober, so yeah. Although alcohol does change you, it isn’t an excuse, for taking the life of your longtime friend for straight up rejecting him.

@laveturnee7022 he wasn't sober..she says in the video when he went to leave in his car he blew over and couldn't use his car bc it had a breathalyzer..even though you still gotta be demented to do it drunk or sober

Are you going to petition for youtube to take kendalls channel down? Both hulu and kendall are telling the story. So if you're mad at hulu you'd have to be mad at kendall and the million other channels that share stories of public information

This is the first time I have heard of Nancy Grace, can you get into more detail as to why she is such as horrible person.

me too! i would also like to know

Who is she and what happened? 😕🤔

@@rosalynnization sameee

Nancy Grace is a commentator of true crime on television… not sure what network & I don’t care to look it up. 😂 She’s known for labeling Casey Anthony “tot mom” & gained a lot of popularity doing coverage on Scott Peterson. She definitely sensationalized already sensational cases. She has harsh/bad opinions a lot of the time & isn’t known to be super supportive of victims… but says she does all this for victims because she was one when her fiancé was murdered. She’s a polarizing figure for sure. “Distasteful” is the word I would to describe her. I’m sure I’m leaving a lot out, as I don’t follow her for that very reason.

😲 That's horrible that they didn't care about the actual people affected. You'd think there's some journalism rule against that.

@@katelynbrown98 there should be.

But how would you write legislation to prevent that without infringing on free press, which is crucial to a representative and fair democracy? I think it has to come down to ethics in journalism. We should vote with our dollars and eyes for ethical journalists and let the unethical journalists like this, create their own downfall.

@@MsJeanneMarie It's impossible. Imagine if the next of kin was the one who did it. They would love for the press to not pick up the case. It definitely does suck but I'm sure it does more good than harm

I'm just curious....is your friends name Ashley? It just sounds a lot like a case that I saw on Dr. Phil.

This.

How can I sign the petition?

Agree... Also, they waited until the very end of the program to put in there that they were asked to participate and declined... I wouldn't have watched it had I seen this video first.

It really sucks because I love watching true crime documentaries and when I watch them I’m trusting the people that filmed it did their research and are portraying the events correctly. This reminds me to do my own research and to be careful about what I watch and not to take everything at face value.

It's not exploitation. They made a documentary about it the same way Kendall made a video about it. What's the difference? Not to be negative, but Hulu isn't going to get rid of a documentary they spent money on because of a petition. Petitions don't work.

@@DavidKen878 I think it because they didn’t want to be involved in the doctumentary in the first place

Him being black out drunk in her closet, albeit naked, isn't a proposition 😬

Is this like that one Simpsons episode when Homer took Napien and drove his car with Millhouse and Bart in it? That’s a good example ngl.

omg girl stay safe! the driving while asleep thing sounds so genuinely terrifying, for you and your family. glad you guys caught onto it right away!!

@@Zoe-tg4dl yeah It was really scary, I'm just glad it didn't end badly.

I agree with most of this statement, but my son has been a sleepwalker since he was 2. And at 4 we caught him in the kitchen knife drawer trying to stab his leg. And he wouldn’t touch knives when he was awake, and he definitely wasn’t a murderer at 4 or now at 24. Yes I agree it’s mostly memory but nightmares play a big factor in it too. He also has driven in his sleep and woke up almost 100 miles from home lost where we had to go get him. It’s scary shit! It’s slowed down the older he’s gotten but he still has moments from time to time. We have a system now that alerts him multiple times before he can leave his house. But Randy was definitely not sleepwalking after 5 min! Impossible!

My brother used to sleepwalk as a very young kid because of stress after we moved across country. We moved to a state & town up by Canada. He was sleepwalking, and opened the front door and left it wide open. Our mom was pregnant and it was -60 outside.. it was so bad

Ya they have been doing some crappy documentaries lately. The Astroworld doc. They took down. They need to do better vetting.

I’m sorry for your loss ❤️

firstly im so sorry for your loss and secondly when i saw brooke’s sisters tiktok about this it broke my heart that hulu STILL continued to make it and then publish it

I'm so sorry for your loss

I am so so sorry for your loss 😔❤️‍🩹

Same I been subscribed for years now my teen loves her and watches

@@Moneygreen428 that’s awesome!! i got my mom hooked on her videos :)

He was found guilty. What more do they want? 🤷🏻‍♀️

@@BookishAlexis Maybe for a mega media corporation to not broadcast overt sympathy for the man who was convicted of murdering their daughter 🤷🏾‍♀️

@@BookishAlexis they probably just want their daughters killer to not be glamorized by millions because it takes away attention from the actual victim of the crime who was so clearly NOT that “man”.

I believe the same thing, he blacked out since he was still drunk.

I was actually thinking the same thing even Brooke could have told him to stop or she would tell someone due to what happened the night before and he didn't want to risk it and did the stupidest thing posible and ended a good human beings life and then go and say he was sleep walking that's insane

I agree. I have dated someone before that blacks out in fits of rage. He is counseling for it. It happened around me once and he acted crazy and I never had seen that side of him before. He fell asleep after I was able to escape and when he woke up he had no memory of it. I wasn't sure what to believe but I heard years later that it is a real thing. Thanks for sharing.

I agree

What's the difference between the "exact same day" (your words) and simply the "same day"?

@@mikegarippo7815 and why do you care about one extra word 💀

I definitely see this as a crime of passion on his end. My theory is that he was upset that she was moving out and leaving the state with her boyfriend.

@@nardinadeleon exactly he was jealous

Well Said

@@TheOriginalHippieChick hey sexybum

Do you think he might have undiagnosed bipolarism? I know it’s a dumb theory. But it’s shown multiple times that men have kill women who said no.

I agree, I too lost my son... it never goes away and there is no closure at least for me. We are forever changed...my sincere 🙏 for her family❤️

She was! 😩💔

I honestly wonder though if it was him and his father got blamed.

I agree with Mama Des. The whole way through I was wondering if he had murdered the dads girlfriend also

Yep I didn't believe a roommate when they said they ''slept-ate'' my food multiple times and I don't believe this jerk either.

@@breakfastattiffanys741 I'm not saying your roommate was telling you the truth or lying,but coming from an actual sleepwalker who sleepeats it's very possible to happen. like I said I'm not saying that it was true in your situation though.

@@tracyparker3491 I know it's a true disorder but other items seemed to go missing around the house too and he was straight up crazy haha. I hope there's treatment and that you wear knickers to bed haha.

Um they did. The

Um they did they didn’t want to be in it.

lashunda lovelady they didn’t want it made in the first place since it’s about their deceased daughter/sister. doesn’t matter if they don’t want to be in it, if they don’t give permission for their lives to be shared like that then it shouldn’t be made. but as we know hulu doesn’t care about that and just want money

This happens A LOT …. Think about the dozens, hundreds, thousands of movies based on killers…. And we all have watched some …. This is no different

@@Zoe-tg4dl but what makes it different now they are on this RU-vid video talking about it. If they truly didn’t want it to be made or relived they could simply not participate it any of it. Because in a way they brought more light to the documentary and the entire story by choosing to put out the TikTok that went viral and this RU-vid video that is getting tons of views.

I completely fucking agree. Random times when I would be hanging out I would come across people that would bring up some well known documentaries or cases and I would ask them if they knew the names of any of the actual victims and alot of them would immediately get defensive and the most common phrase I would be told is " well it's not mentioned enough for my mind to remember." 🙄🙄💀 As if we don't have the power to learn for ourselves. I have a curiosity for such things but I've always told myself to learn about the victims first. Because they matter so much and deserve to be remembered.

The victims are typically perfectly normal people, it's the murderers that hold fascination because it goes against our nature. I agree that the victims and their families deserve compassion, support and remembrance, of course. But I also want to know the killers whole story so I know the warning signs when I'm out in the world. This case shocks me because, at least from this telling of the story, it sounds as though there weren't any major red flags. Some heavy drinking after a family trauma, but not too abnormal there. I wish I could wrap my head around how this was possible. Was he really so good at hiding a dark side? Did she suspect anything prior to that night before? What a bizarre and horrible business. My heart truly goes out to this family.

@@tinygreenpea omg so very scary, right!?

It's public info sadly so nothing can be done ! Everything they used is already online and can be used

Permissions only have to be gained if they are filming them now and they want to use their faces. All of this information is found online so they can legally use it, much in the same way that RU-vidrs do. It's annoying but it's sadly Media Law

At the end of the doc they said they reached out for comment or for filming and the family chose not to accept. This is a public case and all the information was public record so they did everything legally they needed to do. Unfortunately i don’t think the Preston family will have a case since this is a public case under the freedom of information act and no minor are involved.

Or AT THE VERY LEAST warn them that they are doing it with or without their input and with out it, it would be primarily about him. I agree, shame on Hulu!

@@MrsElizHardy they did… hulu and the makers of the doc reach out for comment of for the Preston’s to film and they declined.. it says it at the end of the doc.

Exactly what I was thinking. Maybe he actually can't remember though and that's just a traumatic response to what he did. Not sleep walking, just trauma blocking.

People are horribly disgusting

True! And if he was “sleep walking” so he doesn’t remember the incident, how does he remember the moments before? I honestly just don’t buy it.

Exactly what I was thinking!

I’ve been a sleepwalker in my past. It didn’t include texting anyone or driving. It was mostly just me being half dressed embarrassingly in places I wouldn’t have like to been.

I've noticed it's always the BEST people that get murdered. And it's always by some LOSER. It's like they are jealous that everyone likes them. Just move on with your life. You don't gotta be killing people. I feel like she had to have rejected him at some point and boom got his feelings hurt.. instead of being a man and walking away. My opinion though. Glad he is behind bars.

HULU are NOT 'beyond reproach'. How can you say that when they've made such a disgusting and one sided documentary?

@@Poodlemama1234 I agree, my poor choice of words, Hulu is disgusting, they should reproach themselves- feel shame and regret for what they have done to the Preston family.
