The Strange Case of Jessie Blodgett 

"big guy"? 😂 You mean skinny extremely feeble guy?

It's because he's a weinie baby coward, which is exactly how he's going to stay, in prison!

@@mikimiyazaki ‘big’ as in tall, definitely not muscular. And you don’t need to be big to be threatening if you have a knife.

@@Sophie-bf6zd very true! 🔪 That's a common misconception that could result in someone taking a ride to the hospital.

I’m SO proud of her! He showed his face and would’ve killed her. Gotta do anything to get away or go down fighting.

@T Markart You've never heard of kids being taken from their homes/neighborhood parks/grocery stores, etc.?

@T Markart that’s all you take out of the comment? Unbelievable.

I have 2 children. My boy is 22 years old and my baby girl will be 18 the day after Christmas. The way you described it is spot on.

@@carpediem2445 you can always make more

@@jhtsurvival . . . What?

You would think apt prosecutors would add in that major detail, if not the judge. Massive facepalm that

Did he stab her! If so, where? Threatening with a knife is not attempting murder…

@@yamahajapan5351 the only reason he didn't, was because she stopped him.

@@othellotyrant3152 I seriously doubt it. The Prosecutors would not let that slip by. Clearly, she’s exaggerating her interaction with this dork…

@@yamahajapan5351 did you miss the part where she was cut by the knife??

oh absolutely! I feel the same.

I check it so many times.

Murder can happen ANYWHERE. People need to lock their doors

After the golden state killer I thought would of learned

@@beekydogg Same here. And I always check the doors after my husband, because he forgets to lock them about half the time--or more. Same with the windows. One night, years ago, our back door was wide open all night because he had stepped out on the back porch and just forgot to close it. *insert exasperated look here* I finally just decided that securing the house at night would be my job, especially since I'm always awake later than him anyway.

Thank you for your expert opinion.

@@deathwrenchcustom do you disagree? Or are you saying that it’s obvious? I’m genuinely confused here. Edit: never mind, it’s obvious now. Dude was a budding Ted Bundy.

@@deathwrenchcustom thank you for ur “comment”

I think he already has. Just hasn't been caught for the others.

he would of struggled lol he let that girl take a knife off of him

TrixiLovesYou: I don't think there's a possibly he will be, he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, plus five years. 🤣

yes and you can’t trust their sentences... no matter what they receive.... and those crocodile tears....

@@bobjolly7795 I think the fact that the judge specifically mentioned life without the possibility of parole means that he will only be leaving when the undertakers turn up to collect him.

I agree. I don't think he would have stopped if not caught.

@@uacbpa they will free him soon enough.

Fair enough, but a comment like "I just got home for lunch" makes it sound like she's trying to establish an unsolicited timeline to ensure everyone knows she "wasn't there" because, after all, she "just got home for lunch". I swear I JUST got here!!!! With all the information emergency operators really need straight away, informing them of your itinerary is something you can pocket until the detectives arrive. That said, obviously you're right!, and it's horrible to hear that call through the lens of knowing the outcome. I'm clearly more cynical than you are lol, and as a mother you can feel that pain in a special way. I'm a father so I can imagine it, too, but I believe moms have a special connection resulting from growing and carrying the kid around for 9 months and then feeding it, plus the cerebral connection hardwired into the brain during the first few years of life by all of the physical contact they share with the baby (even if the mom hates the kid, kills it, rapes it, whatevers it; there is a deeper, visceral, primal connection there...imo, of course). Most serial killers emphasize the importance of that bond due to the fact many of them didn't get that contact in the first 3-5 years of their lives.

@@VictorHugo-xr1ng we need to stop acting like we know what folks are doing based upon the things they say. She was in shock and thought her day was going normally. you can’t judge folks on how they react to shock. This sort of talk gets people harassed online these days when they were not involved in the crime.

@@TheQueenOfSheba Nah. Just don't take RU-vid comment sections so seriously and you, me, and everyone else will be just fine.

I had to hold back tears hearing the mom's call to 911. That was just heart wrenching, selfishly I hope I'll never know that pain.

@@VictorHugo-xr1ng you should maybe take your own advice before writing out a paragraph then…

That's exactly what Mike said about it...come on dude

yeah what a fucking hero, without that he might have went on to become a proper serial killer. who knows how many lives she saved

He cried like a baby when the tables were turned

Years ago our 13 year old babysitter was walking home one night had a creep jump out if some bushes and brandish a knife at her. She grabbed the blade, turned it around on him. He was so shocked he froze giving her time to run to a well lit porch and bang on the door!

Loved the interview with the cop standing there all hunched over like he knew he had never done anything half this brave. Amazing.

AWFUL..sad!

That was the part that got me, too. Had to pause for a second to get myself together and prepare for the rest. Heartbreaking. This is one of those instances where I don't even want to try to imagine because that alone would be too painful.

I teared up hearing that.

I just keep thinking of what my brother's natural death at the age of fifty did to my father. The thought of that poor woman finding her child brutally murdered at the age of 19 is just horrible.

As a single mom to a four year old girl, my heart sank. That girl is my absolute world,

@PartialCremation I just wonder if Melissa, who is being lauded a "bad ass" and other names here in the comments, feels any guilt at all. She should've contacted police, but out of some sort of weird laziness that is so prevalent amongst today's youth, she didn't, and now someone is dead. (Melissa, I hope you see this comment. You should be ashamed of yourself, frankly.)

@@lisahinton9682 Her parents sure are feeling guilt. The only reason she got klled is because they didn't lock their doors which is crazy to me and he probably knew that

@@SuperiRix4 Okay, but my comment was not about the parents. My comment was about Melissa. Had Melissa spoken up... oh, god, why do I bother clarifying a perfectly-clear comment that some Internet person has the need to pick apart.

@@lisahinton9682 did you even watch the video? There’s clearly a section in the video stating after she was attacked she went to the hospital, got 15 stitches in her hand from fighting off a the dude trying to literally kill her and then she reported it to the police. I’d sure as hell like to see someone with so much judgement and know all do the same thing she did and turn out alive cause chances are you wouldn’t. Stop bashing some poor girl who was traumatized because you don’t know how to fucking pay attention. And in case you are wondering the time mark stamp on when she INFORMED THE POLICE is 10:38. You’re welcome.

@@lisahinton9682 so how are you feeling about calling a victim 'lazy' and 'responsible' for another victim's death

Ong Mike, you are just adorable 😍

No he deserves the blood eagle

He will not do well in prison, nobody does, the rape, the deadly drugs, the lack of security, the heat, the cold, the work, the unrecognizable food. He's suffering!

I hate liars more than anything.

@@maryallison0509 I couldn't agree with you more. He murders this beautiful young girl, then tries to stab another person? But yeah we are supposed to believe he didn't do it? His dad had the same damn duct tape in the house. They found the ropes with his and her blood on it. I just wanted to go thru my phone and slap this kid around. All murderers to be honest. How in the hell can he address her family by name and say he's innocent? He is a cold hearted schmuck. He's what 23? I hope he has a long life to girl. A miserable long life. No kids, no future, just bars and routines. His parents might not think it's fair but at least they can see him. Her parents have to go to a patch of grass and wonder what their little girls life would've been. I feel no remorse for killers. Victims and their families 💯. Have a wonderful weekend. ❤

Just like OJ did.

I agree. Its absolutely vile

@@tonyabrookes9931 I don’t know if it’s something the lawyers encourage them to say? It just feels so wrong.

Yes. It is adding prejudice to crime. Should be forbidden. Hopefully, where he is now, someone will make him feel sorry for whatever reason.

Right!? He even tells them he loves them

Thanks for participating in the event! I'm glad her parents are keeping her legacy alive.

I have 2 daughters, 7 & 18. I just can't imagine.

@@missiecombs4807 I was thinking the same. I have 3 daughters 8, 13, and 14. I just can’t imagine…

Honestly, that dude was pathetic. Stature doesn't mean anything if you don't know how to maneuver it to your advantage. And it seems like this is his fight time in any violent altercation. The dude had all the vile intentions but not the necessary know-how to follow through. Any woman who was awake could have beaten his ass unlike in MOST cases where the male perpetrators are incredibly difficult to overpower by a mere woman. But in this case, even Jessie would have beaten his ass if she was awake.

Right on!

Nah, those people are probably very good about rationalizing things, eventually saying it happened for a reason. And they’re pulling in some cash from the “non-profit” they started.

@Lude Zooted What a disgusting opinion to have.

@@kingayy9267 People who think others are this self-absorbed are often trying to justify their own way of thinking. The fact that this person is so apathetic toward the family shows how they are.

This story hits so very close to home. I had to make that very same call on August 18, 2008 when my only child, my 20 yr old daughter was taken from me. It's something I wish on NO ONE 😔

@@sumkindawundrful14u25 From one internet stranger to another I hope you're doing ok. I'm sorry for such a tremendous loss. ❤

I HAVE TO AGREE WITH YOU.

He has mentioned subscribing, but it is very rare.

I can't wrap my head around it. It seems every other day some young man from a normal family just murders someone just to know what it feels like... I think it's something to do with all the available violence online and in porn. I really don't think this was happening 20 years ago. Frightening

The interesting thing is that he started with a stranger. Had been lying about having a job that summer and had been haunting parks. His behavior is just… incompetent wannabe serial killer who is too stupid to avoid being caught before he reaches the defined number of kills.

@@CC12398 It's just that 20 years ago there was no Internet Mike telling you about it.

@@CC12398 This has been happening as long as men and women have existed. Back in the time of Jack the Ripper there was no internet, porn, social media etc yet it didn't stop him from doing horrific things to women. The easy access to media just makes it seem like it's happening more now.

@@clray123 That's exactly it. Before the internet you read in the newspapers what happened and your awareness was limited to the local/national news in your country. It was rare that cases made international news. The only time I've set foot in America was when I had a connection flight in Chicago airport but I know of so many of American cases due to channels like Mike's and others.

I dunno why he didn't go into how he snuck into the house etc. That's the craziest part of the story & he totally ignored how he got in, avoided her parents & what he did etc.

@@ClickClack_Bam Really good sign the killer had been there enough to be familiar with the house, the inhabitants, their habits, etc.

Yes "sorry for your loss"or sorry for what happened..not sorry for What I did like murder your loved one..bs it's sorry I got caught

@@pamelajordan2890 that’s exactly what it is. They have no remorse for killing someone, but they’re only sorry they didn’t get away with it. You’re completely right.

Psychopath*. Most killers tend to do that. It gives them power over the victim and their family. It gives a slight adrenaline rush and they feel unstoppable.

I think the women in the area got really lucky when Melissa got the upper hand in the attack on her. He would have had a really busy time in the parks had he been successful that time. He obviously learned from that attack that he needed to tie his victims up before they could retaliate. Step by step serial killers grow.

@@Isabella-nh5dm you're right. He most definitely would have attacked & likely killed again. I pray Melissa went on to success & happiness.

One dead person is pretty much the best outcome you can expect from such people. If he was caught in time and got five years, he would have had a lot of time to plan how to become a serial killer.

Should have taken police no more than 2 hours after the attack against Melissa to figure out who it was, considering it's such a small town, she described the guy and his van.

Honestly, that dude was pathetic. Stature doesn't mean anything if you don't know how to maneuver it to your advantage. And it seems like this is his fight time in any violent altercation. The dude had all the vile intentions but not the necessary know-how to follow through.

yes, totally absolutly.

Yea, he was already fucked up, but he was too young to be good at it. I wonder how that happened, how did he get like that at 19? Does he have a brain tumor or some shit? At 19 I was so unsure of myself, the idea of raping and killing someone would have been as realistic as the idea of jumping to Jupiter

I don't know if this was the start, or the end, of his serial career. We'll never know for sure, but he'd been back from college a good long time, and everyone said he was a very different person from the guy they knew. And he wasn't spending his days at work.

@@-danR yeah for all we know there could have been other victims. He could easily have driven to other areas to commit crimes.

bah...baahh...bahhhh... sheeple

Woot woooooot!!

Yeppy doodles...love a bit of Mike and murder on a Friday 😆

That's perfect 🤣

if its ur friend or family member one day where everyone can "have a goo" i hope it keeps being epic

Too bad she couldn’t use that knife in his throat right then and there. Jessie would still be alive.

This video hits too close to home for me. I am one of those mothers that had my only child, my 20yr old daughter taken from me on Aug 18, 2008. My life has never been the same. I was divorced from her dad so it was just her and I. She was my best friend. I wish this pain on NO ONE 😔 Truth is, I don't live anymore, I merely exist. I hear so many ppl saying "It's been so long...try & get out to feel better, etc". They just don't understand how incredibly hard this is unless it happens to them. I pray it doesn't.

She sounded like an absolute angel Musician, actress, working, in school, and tutoring disadvantaged kids

Agree, seemed like a very special young lady with huge potential that the world will never see, sadly not to be used. It doesn’t take away from the loss but must be something special to have videos of her awesome talent. Another needless life lost for no reason.

Now a very special angel. God bless her

What fine gentleman! God bless him for forgiving and dedicating himself to fighting this sort of senseless loss and agony he and his family must be feeling. I wish you strength and help with your grief. RIP dear Jessica.

@@Pitoonya okay I can tell you're one of those kinds of chicks too. Be careful out there.

Agree, he’s unconvincing in every way, but think he killed her because he was jealous of her talent. First girl being a trial run maybe. Sad one. 🕯🌻

So gross. Idk why they let those POS even speak after they’ve been convicted of such messed up crimes. They should have absolutely NO RIGHTS after certain crimes, like this 1.

I think He was shook because she broke up with Him and would be seeing another Dude. Sucks for Him. What a lil beeatch. Dancing around up there like a ferry and then strangling His beautiful X because he knows he wouldn’t ever get another as good as Her.

Sex is a motive too, and a common one for serial killers.

@The Wise Stories like these will always be told. You may not like Mike's style so why watch just to be offended? I think most will agree that he shows total respect for the victims and lets us make up our own minds about the perpetrator. You don't sound very 'wise'.

@The Wise Wise?

Of course he wouldn't admit it. His lawyer probably advised him to not admit it. He still has the chance for appeals at that point.

They never admit fault he is clearly a delusional psychopath. By that dad openly forgiving him he has spit on his Daughters grave.

Maybe it helped the father move on but I don't think I could ever forgive someone who did something like that, was still professing his innocence after being found guilty and had the audacity to tell me he loves me.
