That tornado footage is scarier then any horror movie out there, just seeing that barreling down towards you, then the deafening sound and then just pitch blackness, I'm glad I live where tornadoes aren't a thing.
I used to think the same thing living where I live. In the last 5 years I've seen two lol. The world is changing weather we want to accept it or not. Now earthquakes, that's another story.
Meh. Tornadoes are nothing once youve been through a few of them. My dad used to sit on the porch, drinking beer and watch them. It was one of the few times he would give me a beer as a kid and i'd do it too. As long as you have a basement near by, you're good.
Just wait till you see them in person I’ve seen the whole entire sky above my place pitch black and the only time you seen light was when lightning was striking we have huge grain bin ripped apart houses destroyed there very cool but bad
Less than seconds. If its taking your house u have less than 1 second to react after hearing the train noise. We got lucky and a high end EF3 jumped over our house. Completely destroyed a block in front and a block behind. When I heard the noise it was 1 second later as Im running to the basement that I hear the walls shaking.
People: “I really hope someday we figure out an advanced warning system for tornadoes” Morning news: “good morning. There is going to be a tornado tonight and everyone should evacuate” People: “bullshit”
You can't forecast where a tornado is going to hit until it's already forming... All you can say is "there is a 20% chance of a tornado within 50 miles of you" which was the forecast on that day in over 5 states, not just one city. That's insane.
@@tatumsh9 THANK YOU The whole time he’s talking I’m thinking this is not how it works. Tornado watch and tornado warnings exist A pattern can give high probability that a storm will generate in a general area of hundreds of miles It can not pin point hours in advance that a storm will plop down in a specific location So there isn’t some call for an evacuation that far in advance. Everything he was talking about is done in hurricanes I mean.... the video shows the tornado, does it look like it’s a mile wide? I like the guy but why not just be factual and correct? The stories are good enough and don’t need dramatization/embellishment
Update: They CAUGHT the killer of Abby and Libby. After years, finally they caught him. Worse part was he was a regular customer for a pub and would sit near his own sketch which was drawn and would often tell stories of theory’s on who the killer was. So sick…
Either i have seen this very comment earlier already, which is unlikely. Or, I am having the feeling i have seen(read) such story of a criminal already.
I have been following this case for years and there is an update on this case a 42 year old guy by the name of james chadwell is under investigation after being caught kidnapping and locking a 9 year old girl in his basement the police have detained him for further questioning . More details if you look up delphi murders update on inside edition. Hopefully there will be justice for these two girls.This story was truly heartbreaking to me and with all the evidence including video he should of been caught by now.
That guy looks exactly like my creepy neighbor his name is James Doherty, he moved in about 2 yrs ago. The man in this video talks (sounds) just like him, walks just like him, build just like him. It is extremely disturbing to me. Even my son said: hey mom isn't that our neighbor!!! I sure hope they have someone in custody, because this guy next door is getting ready to move again. Just putting the word out.
I really don't understand what she saw in him in first place, I get that women are attracted to men with confidence, but there is a border between confidence and cockiness and this guy spared none of it. I was literally cringing while he was talking.
@@toreadoress have you ever *watched* the *Dating Game* show? If not, go look for a few episodes, watch them and then come back and tell us if you still think his behavior was “out of the ordinary/suspicious” for that show.
@@vallynam2654 i think it the killer isnt from the area, probably passing through, i dont think serial killers stay in one place too long. the police not releasing more into on their deaths could be hurting the case, if they are not sharing the details with other state law enforcement then i dont expect the case to be solved
"I don't have time to go into the basement. I'd better just record this." Tornado: **Takes several minutes to get to him. Leaving plenty of time to get into the basement.**
@@lecouchpotato2882 Yeah, that's what I'm leaning toward, too. I looked up the original video just to make sure it wasn't slowed down by MrBallen and he had just under 2 minutes. Also, he might have thought it was moving faster than it was. If it were me and I first saw it outside the kitchen, leisurely walked up two flights to the attic (possibly one staircase and one attic ladder), dug out the lanterns, then saw it again, the sudden adrenaline rush would probably be distorting my recollection of how much time my route had taken.
Several minutes? Absolutely not. You have never been in a tornado that is painfully obvious. Do u not realize after he starts recording it becomes a slow motion video after about 3 seconds? He had no time. You never have time once u hear it.
Fox- lol yes the video is slowed down. Those winds are in excess of 200mph. In the video its slowed to a crawl. U do not have 2 fucking mins to react to a fucking tornado right outside. Ive been in a coupke myself. Its less than 5 seconds u have from the time u hear that roar to the time your walls are shaking to bits.
No matter how many times I see that footage from The Dating Game, it’s still just as creepy. To think a serial killer was that ballsy to go on that show! Those poor girls… That must have been terrifying for them. The way that guy spoke to them is eerie
I mean bad people are everywhere. It’s only after we find out that we’re creeped out. They seem normal and that’s why so many people die because they never suspect the charming person to be this awful murderer. It is creeping me out just thinking about it. I just say with caution be safe out there and look after yourself you don’t know what demons someone hides from the world.
from what i understand, serial killers tend to be psychopaths, of which narcissism is a main trait. i'm not surprised that more of them aren't trying to be seen while being hunted, by authorities, because they usually think they are smarter than anyone else. many of them write letters to the media or police just because it's fun for them. not a new thing ('yours truly, jack the ripper'). i think more of them would be uploading videos and posting their normal lives on instagram, except that these days, it's harder to stay invisible if you behave like a prima donna.
Ya I get what you mean a month ago up hear in Canada a man in Nova Scotia really close to where I live made a home made exact replica of a cop car and dressed like a cop and shot and killed 21 people in under 32-48 hours until he was arrested. Shits goin’ crazy in the world!
@@AngronTheRedAngel. the worlds always been crazy, the only difference between the last 50 odd years and the 3000 before it is there is vast amounts of media and video cameras to cover it
The “Down the Hill” story really stuck with me so much so I shared with my wife and teenage daughter at the time. I am happy today they arrested the man allegedly responsible.
It's also scary that the girls didn't take any risks, it's not like they were in some sketchy neighborhood in the middle of the night, they were just hiking and happened to meet a murderer. My grandfather used to say you never know which branch the devil sits on. He was right.
@@annarantanen3813 I think there will be more to this story. I don’t think this was a matter of two girl’s stumbling across a serial killer which would be very chilling. It is still early days in the arrest but it sounds from news and RU-vid that the girls could have been lured to that location by the killer(s) using fake social media accounts and posing as young men. It’s all speculation but it hangs together.
@@spartanp2064 I haven’t heard about it being a catfish, It makes sense though. So glad they caught the guy. I was surprised it took this long to catch him seeing as there was the videos that the girls took. I kept thinking someone must know this guy.
The "guys down the hill" freaked me tf out. Cant imagine what fear those girls were feeling. Poor things

@@pineapple6442 Lol, I was kidding... For the most part. It's still weird how our subconscious minds refer to people as "things" though, don't you think? If I was a psychiatrist or psychologist I would find that fascinating... Studies have likely already been done in that area though. I'm not saying I'm any different by the way.
I really appreciate that you convert miles into kilometers, etc, so that the story can be understood by both users of imperial units and rational people.
An interesting tidbit about the Dating Game serial killer: the male executive producer who interviewed Alcala for the show wrote ‘NW’ on his written profile, meaning No Way. The producer found him strange and unsettling and did not want him on the show. However, the female casting director pled his case because she thought he was handsome and the audience would like him.
My sister was friends with Libby and Abby, I’ve gone to that bridge, although it was before the girls were killed. Their deaths shook the community, and it feels so weird to see John covering a story that I personally was connected to like that. I never met the girls, but my sister was good friends with them.
@@genesisknight9948 such a small close knit community it really, really feels like "Anne" would've stumbled out the attic by now trying to find out if people where still different shades of white or if they all now had eyes that mimicked the oceans glean, and had hair that had the warm sun reflecting off of an shallow puddles sheen.
@@genesisknight9948 Never heard of Anne Frank? The murderer is hiding under everyone's noses; although Anne Frank wasnt a murderer, she was sadly viewed as an criminal to the society she was also sadly residing in. She was right there the entire time, the murderer is in this small town in this small community; someone know's, but they are probably in deep denial.
Abby and Libbey's case is so upsetting. Libbey knew, she handed them the killer and it's still unsolved. And that quote "guys, down the hill" chills me to the bone. I hope those beautiful baby girls will someday have justice.
I just commented on this. There's a guy local to there that recently kidnapped and hurt a 9 year old. They're looking into him for these girls too. He definitely resembles the man in the background
@@Buttercup553So no continuation as of yet, it seems the defense lawyers leaked crime scene photos to the press and filed a motion for a change of venue, citing local bias discouraging a fair trial. The judge dismissed them from the case back in October of last year, no other updates since then. That said, the evidence is really overwhelming. He was seen in the area, in his interrogation he says he was wearing the clothes seen on the person in the vide and was in the area, a shell casing was found near the crime scene and analysis was shown that it came from a handgun owned by the suspect, his car was seen in a parking lot nearby and a witness claimed to see him walking away from the trail shortly after they went missing in muddy and bloody clothing. I'm not on the jury but I'd have to say they caught the right man.
@J Paterson how could he have saved his wife? This is a tornado, not a hurricane where you have days in advance to get out of there. With a tornado, you maybe have 15 minutes to get to shelter and you do not know what these things are going to do or how strong they are. Some people dont even get warnings when a tornado is spotted. The meteorologists who were forecasting these things can only advise that tornadoes are possible, not that they are going to happen.
@J Paterson actually, I dont think it would have made a difference with the tornado being rated an EF4. There hasnt been an EF5 in 7 years, but an EF4 can definitely destroy a house no matter if you are in a windowless room. I've been through my fair share of tornadoes, and I can say that you honestly dont have enough time unless you get the warnings prior, even then, it's not enough time.
@J Paterson the guy was also in his 70's btw. It's not easy to get around when you may or may not have arthritis or something like that. Besides, when it's your time to go, it's your time to go.
@@Eponastory If you’d look at the meteorology reports, a super cell was moving in hours before that would bring severe thunderstorms and favorable conditions for a tornado. That was their watch which could turn into a warning. I agree the guy was selfish and ignorant because I’ve been told all my life that if a tornado looks “stuck” or not moving, then it’s coming straight for you. I’ve lived through EF5’s and I don’t play around with tornadoes. When I hear the sirens or happen to see a funnel cloud outside, I’m already in my shelter.
MrBallen honestly your really unique because a lot of other story tellers tell you like your reading fiction but the way you tell these make them feel like it happened to me it feels so real congrats man your amazing 🏅
That tornado was a beast. The 2nd story is why I am extra protective of my twin girls. It's such a sad world full of sexual deviants. Even when we catch them they are given ridiculously low sentences.
Yup and predators are now scoping out parents social media pages who post pics of their kids to find victims. That’s the main reason why I would never upload pics of my son online
Damn I had a broken vertebrae from a car wreck, & that adrenaline Clarence had must’ve been through the roof for him to crawl out of that rubble. Me simply opening my door and trying to get out of the car was the worst pain I’ve ever experienced. RIP to his wife.
Worst pain I ever experienced was a tailbone break. Tailbone injuries are a form of spinal injuries, and the spine contains the highest concentration of nerves, so these types of injuries are among the most painful. I went blind for a few minutes after it initially happened. Turns out, with spinal injuries, there is such thing as being "blinded by pain". My tailbone is the shape of an L now instead of the normal C shape, and 3 of my Lumbar Vertebrae are visibly prodruding a bit from my back. I still get occasional lower back or tailbone pain but physical therapy cured 90% of it for me. I had to get fit and build muscle, nothing else helped. All is good now, but I'm terrified of what my back is gonna be like when I'm middle aged - old.
@@haunted5311 how’d your break your tail bone? If you don’t mind me asking. I’m glad you’ve since recovered tho. I wouldn’t wish that kinda pain on my worst enemy. I have 2 long rods & 9 screws in my spine basically holding it up, so I completely understand the fear you have of how your back will be when you get older. I’m only 23 now and can’t even bend all the way over anymore because My range of motion is very limited now.
@@hihowareya4004 funny thing is my spinal/tailbone injury was 100% my doing. I tried to "parkour" jump onto the middle railing in front of my friends when I was a 15 year old softmore in the highschool basement. I bit off more than I could chew, and my right foot slipped, went right, so I free fell at least 2-3 feet, and 100% of my momentum went straight into my tailbone ( I wasn't yet tall enough for my feet to have touched the ground when falling on that railing). I went blind for several minutes from the pain and shock. Now 3 of my lumbar vertebrae are permanently visible when you look at my nude backside, and my coccyx bone is an L shape instead of the usual C shape. I've taken away probably 80 or 85% of the pain through physical therapy/general fitness, but the pain will always severely flare up if I get lazy and don't excercise for an extended period of time. Could be a lot worse though, sorry to hear you're in chronic pain dude. Wish you the best. Edit: I just realized how much I repeated myself in this new comment. 😂😂
Psychopaths are usually extremely talanted manipulators and posses enough charisma to charm most people (when everybody's looking, of course), so the fact that they've lost to him is not that surprising.
@Mike W he did though because thats how he got all of his victims. if hes alone with his victim hes creepy yes but in the public or when hes trying to convince his victims he is very manipulative and good in social situations
I was imagining what it would’ve been like at the very end of the show where the announcer was stating all of Rodney‘s passions (skydiving, photography, etc.). What if the announcer stuck in there at the very end “and serial killer!” Lol.
I lived in Texas for years and we always had tornado warnings. My neighbors and friends seemed to never take them seriously but I didn’t care. We always packed our bags, made food, got water & headed down to our storage. WAY better safe than sorry.
Does anyone else always have to jump back 10 seconds or so to the start of the second and third stories because you realized your brain was still processing the previous story so you missed the beginning of the next story?
Cheryl from the Dating Game was extremely smart to go with her instincts about Rodney! I’m sure it sent shivers down her spine, when she realized how lucky she was to have not gone through with the date! Thank God 🙏
It was him. They found shell casings at the scene of the crime that matched a firearm owned by the suspect. He was also seen in the area around that time and a witness claims to have seen him around 330 that day with muddy and bloody jeans, and by his own testimony in his interrogation, he was wearing the outfit seen in the video. Trial hasn't concluded as of yet but the evidence is really damning
Those two girls...my heart is so broken I can't believe they have him on video with a voice and don't have him in costudy. Unbelievable! There's a killer among us y'all.
They pretend to be the best possible catch ever lie manipulate and covertly emotionally abuses them. Most people in general would run if they actually acted and looked like a killer. Ted bundy is best example. Just keep being yourself man if a woman cant love you for who you are entirely then they are not worth your time man.
I almost ended up in his story’s because I went down into a blocked of creek, and there was a old tire swing and tent there, and it smelled horrible, then I heard someone running on the rocks behind me and I booked it outta there, too bad I left my bike behind : (
Does anyone else find it incredibly chilling to see how charming Rodney was? He genuinely seemed like a likeable guy in that clip, and the fact that he’s able to manufacture that so well to make his victims feel safe is just terrifying to me
Yeah. Same with Bundy. There is a clip of him been caught for political misconduct before anyone knew the really bad things he did. And he had this boyish charm about him. Heck according to many accounts Adolf could be very charming when he wanted to... Yes, that Adolf. I think in all three cases the charm was one of the things that made them so dangerous.
......I personally don't even find him attractive, in fact, I thought contestant number 2 looked better. But then again, everyone has different views on what they find attractive
Rodney was an absolute monster. Cheryl was lucky , good thing that she caught that vibe and listened to herself. It's incredible that he was able to kill so many people.
Hearing a killer’s voice as he commands his victims to go “down the hill” is one of the most chilling things I’ve ever heard. His tone is so …. What’s the word I’m looking for? It’s like he’s giving them bad news and scolding them at the same time. And he’s being so familiar with them like they already know what’s going to happen like he knows and they need to just get on with it. Jesus.
@@greenman360 That’s easy for us to plan, but it gets weird when you get really scared. One time when I was younger a guy motioned for me to pull my car over. There was literally a gas station at the next exit with a mechanic I’d known since I was a little kid. But I just pulled right over on the shoulder. The guy kinda looked like my uncle I hadn’t seen in a while, but mostly it was just an ingrained response of compliance. He parked in front of me and got out. I still remember his stride. The way he walked scared me. It was predatory. At least I didn’t get out of my car. He said, “Hey. Come here.” I drove off. Luckily didn’t put it in park. But I think about that a lot. How it was just so automatic to pull over even though I know better. I did call the cops, but nothing ever came of it because I also forgot to get the license plate number.
Even though I’ve heard all three of these stories before, I couldn’t help but watch this video from start to finish because the way you tell stories is the best on RU-vid!
An older man, going down three flights of stairs. He might have physical issues. We can't judge that. But I wouldn't stand near a window, though. I'd try to find something sturdy to tie myself too.
Exactly. I don't think it's worded correctly. I think he stayed there to film because he felt oh yeah, another tornado, we've survived the others, this is a breeze (no pun intended). He didn't calculate the risk.
If Clem had gone down, he might have died and been crushed by the roof and other debris like his wife. But, in retrospect, who knows what might have happened if he called out to his wife to tell her to go to the basement without him, or, if he tried to get to the basement himself. If faced with that kind of destruction barreling towards me, I think I would have frozen in fear not realizing I still had minutes, rather than seconds, to live or get away. One can't really know how they're going to react to a situation until they're put in that position. The should've, would've, could've thinking only comes with hindsight. I think Clem was expecting to die and did the only thing he thought he could do at the moment.
My grandfather has PTSD from being sucked out of his house (which was demolished) and the first thanksgivings after that we needed an extra chair… so I pushed a computer chair across the tile and he FREAKED OUT!!! The sound of the wheels on tile, sounded like a train… or a tornado
It’s creepy when people go over cases that happened near you and u remember in the news. I grew up and worked 2 towns over from Delphi. Everyone was scared for months. Abigail and Liberty Rest In Peace
What do local say about people choosing to stay? Has that mentality gone now? I find it really weird that in so many similar situations you see a lot of people risk dying to stay at their houses. I’d deffo rather live if the news was pleading for people to leave!
@@gamertwig3909 Well I moved 600 miles away... but some of the people there have been there for generations it’s hard to leave. My grandparents live in same town their ancestors were buried from the 1800s and My mom lives a town over in a town my family helped found 200 plus years earlier. However there has been news that a man recently arrested in the kidnapping of another child near there might be being investigated in their murder because he matches the sketches. It’s been in the news all over recently in the area according to my friends.
This channel has featured two stories from my home country and I have to tell you I was lightly relieved that they were the more mild variety. I could not handle learning something horrifying about my area.
I’ve watched so many of Mr Ballen’s videos of the strange, dark, and mysterious and I’ve never been so terrified as now- after watching that tornado barrel its way toward the camera. My heart is absolutely racing.
I'm glad he lived and he got the video to educate people but I really wish people would gather their emergency gear and put it where they can grab it quickly. Like just imagine if you saw a tornado like that and you knew you had to go upstairs to get safety equipment... My heart rate is going up just thinking about it. Almost all of us can get a little flashlight and some water bottles, granola bars a radio, etc. and put them in a shopping bag, hang it by the front or basement door. Especially now that storms are getting so bad and so frequent
Abby and Libby were a few towns over. We watch this story a lot. I literally used this story to explain to my 11 year old why she can’t leave too far away from me. I knew exactly what it was as soon as I saw down the hill.
I believe I watched that episode. Didn’t know I was watching a serial killer. She must have these certain feelings about people and the they act and talk she sure is lucky. Feel bad for those who wasn’t so lucky.
As soon as I heard "Abby and libby" my heart sank. This is the one case that keeps me up at night. I imagine what must have happened. They never left each others side. Even crazier, they still haven't caught that creep. Being a town as small as it is, someone knows who it is without a doubt. Its someones "weird alcoholic cousin" we all have or something similar & theyre probably just trying to forget about it. But i wish they would say something. What those girls went through...i cant even imagine.
Rodney didn't just assault that little girl. If he wasn't interrupted by the cops, he would have killed her. She was within an inch of death. Poor thing.
to bad they just setteled with stoping him and locking him up for a few years, they should just have emptied their guns in him on the spot, would have save a lot of people. and i know the police is not allowed to do that, but they *SERIOUSLY* need to be allowed to do so, not only police, even armed private citizens should also be allowed to do so. the only evidence you should *EVER* need for permission to kill someone like that is surveilance or recording of your own showing the person you shot attacking someone and you giving him/her 1 single audible warning, if reasonable iminent fear of for the victims life no warning should be required what so ever. anyone who beats up children should be killed on the spot regardless of reason.
@@theldraspneumonoultramicro405 I believe in people's right to a fair trial but I have to agree. If you walk into a scene with a helpless little girl near death like that, then yeah, go ahead and empty yo gun, after you've shoved all the most awkward shaped household appliances up his butt and in his nostrils.
I'm not sure if this is true or not but I heard of a girl that actually met him, had the photoshoot, started to get strangled, and somehow he snapped out of it. I don't remember what video by Let's Read it was
I actually covered the Abby and Libby case when I worked at the Monticello Herald Journal in White County, Indiana. It remains one of the cases I think about once a week. And I still wear a wristband that had the girls’ names on them. I sincerely hope their families and the whole Delphi community get justice.
That Clip of him talking to the girls made me nauseous. I can imagine working so closely with this case you were privy to information not made public. I’m sure it does haunt you to this day. Those poor babies. 🙏🙏
Confused on this, in the video he goes "guys, down the hill" it really sounds like hes talking to some one else and there where two of them. One of them should have had a good chance of getting away from a single person. As for the signatures Im picking it was rape, possible from multiply people.
I’m more shocked that an 80 something year old man, in a time of panic, suddenly knew how to use a phone camera. Edit: some of you really need to learn to control your emotions and what you find offensive. 😂 Or don’t. You’re just making the joke funnier.
My grandmother would buy all the new technology when it became available. She and my grandfather would read the instructions. They could do things my mother never even attempted. My grandma would edit videos of hours of footage of tap dancing, all on her editing bay. Life lesson: assumptions may also prove idiocy. Often times older people feign weakness or lack of knowledge to lure in family that never comes to visit. OR They can be completely inept and try to make a phone call with a cheese grater! 🤷🏼♀️
They have a suspect in the Liberty and Abigail case. He apparently previously kidnapped a 9yr old girl. His own brother called him a monster. He said he was absolutely capable of killing those two girls. If it really is him I hope their families can finally find some sort of comfort knowing he's never going to hurt anybody again.
@@bethlou8162 Exactly. Just the few seconds of him directing them is chilling. And of course i want to know how he got them to cooperate. Did he pull a gun out? Did he pretend to be an authority figure who was ordering them off the bridge because it was off limits and they were in trouble? Because one would think if he pulled out a knife seconds after this clip ended they would have just run. Unless he was able to grab one of them first and the other was afraid to leave her friend behind? Idk. I just really hope they caught this p.o.s. He doesnt deserve life. Really sad that you cant even go on a short hike with your friend to a local area without having to worry about being murdered. (I grew up in the 90s with a small wooded area not far from my house and my friends and i would explore it all the time when the weather was nice. Its crazy to think we could have been that vulnerable. )
@Astolfo Desu It is silly and isn't a "valid observation" at all. Aside from the fact that it's completely irrelevant to this incident and an odd thing to comment on, nobody chooses their own name at birth so it makes no sense to mock a name. Whether or not it's ridiculous or pretentious is your opinion, opinions are subjective.
Mr Ballen you are having such an impact on my daily routine that I am double checking my routine each day!! I can't stop watching and I'm scaring the crap out of myself!! I'm a 51 year old mum of three and a nana to 7!! I brought my three up by myself from being 16. I met their father when I was just 14. I thought he was the love of my life!! 😂 Fat chance!! When he wasn't beating me he was screwing around with whoever was willing to!! My older sister for one. I don't blame her at all. She had just lost her first born son and was incredibly lonely and heartbroken. He on the other hand had been at it with all and sundry!! Don't know why I've just spilled all this!! I apologise and I just want to further more that you sir are truly brilliant!! Your family must be absolutely over the moon with you!! God bless ya buddy!! And ya babba ❤
I don't get that dude in the first clip. His wife was completely oblivious, he didn't warn her, instead he decided to record the tornado. If you have time to pull your phone up and push record then you have time to attempt to warn your loved ones.
I've read and heard so much about the second story. It's heartbreaking. The fact that guy was never identified I still find odd. Someone knows him. So sad!!! 😢
It is bizarre he hasn't been caught. I mean they've got him on video and his voice plus it said there was a lot more video so probably a helluva lot more clues too.
@@PatchouliPenny I can only assume he was an extreme loner who was not from the area, maybe he moved around a lot and laid low so it makes it harder for people to remember his face. Crazy that in the era of cell phones and video evidence, people still get away with murder.
@@sandydog426 if you been to Indiana you could understand how extremely possible it is to live like how you’re explaining. I live in a town called Columbus and ppl use to tell me before i moved there the town was weird and they weren’t wrong at all. It’s like i never fitted in the whole time there the ppl were so odd
But what kind of parents drop their kids off in a secluded hiking area we live in an extremely dangerous world it's always been a dangerous world when I was a child growing up my parents would have never taken me to any secluded area with a friend not unless we had a man with us just for that reason serial killers love secluded areas the perfect place to find a victim. And it don't matter that they were teenagers they're still women and vulnerable and uncapable of defending themselves against a strong man a serial killer they love secluded areas they know hikers will go up in there it's just the ultimate perfect place to kill someone and get away with it so if you're going to go to a nature hiking area make sure you have a man with you and be armed with a gun both you and the man
Im a truck driver and these stories help me stay up all night and I LOVE them all, the way he tells us to press the like button is hilarious I look forward to what he’s gonna say next!!!
@@lemr88 Yes I have to go to therapy because of it, storms are the most terrifying thing to me, just thinking about one happening shakes me up. I really hate people who self diagnose metal illnesses like that
The Delphi murders is a case that has always stuck with me & to this day I search for updates hoping that their killer is finally caught. I get the police withholding some information but at this point they need to release more because it’s been years & they’re still no closer to solving it. They’ve released the video clip but the description of the suspect is so vague it could literally be any adult white male in that area. So, people could be dismissing their suspicions but presented with more information they would no longer be able to dismiss them.
@KiraiSiren He is already locked up. James Brian Chadwell was arrested for kidnapping a 9 year old girl, who was later rescued by police. He has not yet been charged with these two murders, but evidence suggests he is almost certainly the killer. He even has a tattoo that looks like Libby with tears on her face, gotten after the crime. He has already been found guilty for the kidnapping and even without a conviction for these two killings, he could get up to 160 years for the abduction, rape and torture of the girl police found in his home.
Hopefully the new developments with the Kegan Kline guy lead somewhere. On the other hand I'd keep James Chadwell in sight. Maybe there's an online connection between them
@@wishingwellgraphix4149 So I just looked up the tattoo out of curiosity, genuinely fucking terrifying shit to see. Here's my question: Who the fuck gave that guy the tattoo? And did they not find it odd that a dude took a photo of a missing girl, and said "hey, I want a tattoo of her crying on my arm, and make sure you make here eyes totally white so it looks like she's dead"? Like obviously the first thought is that he would lie and say something like "oh she's my niece" but the crying and white eyes detail..... at some point any SANE tattoo artist would stop and think "something is fucked with this", especially considering she's only like 9 years old in the photo he would have shown for them to go off of. Goddamn that's some creepy ass shit to think about.
There are very recent updates. Now they think its a neighbor or a guy that lives 1400 feet from where bodies were found. Suspect is names Ron Logan if I remember right
I am from Delphi indiana. Graduated from the high school in the early 2000's. They have made an arrest on Friday and appears they are confident they have the right man. Love your stories. Keep up the great work.
In an average year In illinois we get warnings almost weekly. At least a couple per month. Its not like its rare. Most ppl cant just leave home for a night on a weekly basis. Thats illinois weather for u.
Agree when my kids were little and we would have warnings I’d pack up and leave or bunker down. They always said I overreacted a lot but when it came to my babies I didn’t play.
I grew up and lived in Kansas for a really long time. Lots of tornadoes in the spring and some in the summer. At some point you just kinda accept it and really only worry when you hear the sirens tbh.
It sounded like Illinois residents are used to it so they thought it wouldn’t be bad which is something I probably would’ve did if you’ve been through so many of them
@@chaoticbuilds.-.8778 But the weather men were pleading with them to evacuate or take shelter. Mother nature is nothing to sneeze at. I've been through tornadoes and each one was just as terrifying.
Always enjoy your “Story’s and know this an old one since not loading 2,3 or 4 times a week. Delighted for Mr. Ballen successfully gaining so many subscribers, but miss the early days 🤙🏼
I remember a teacher telling me how her friend during a tornado put herself in her bathtub with a mattress over her body. She looked up at some point and found herself in the middle of a field. I survived a tornado and developed a fear of the dark. I was five and got traumatized. I remember waking up in the hall closet. Sorry to say so much.
My mom used to make my little sister n I sit in the hall or bathtub with a mattress or two over us during tornados. We were always fine but I remember that lol
My parents also would grab us out of bed in the middle of the night and throw my brother and me into the tub, with blankets over us. Nothing ever hit us but I hated that bathtub thing!
I’ve read and watched Abby and Libby case and it brought me to tears on how someone could do that to two young girls. I hope one day the demon that did that to them is caught and justice is served.
Did the case release the "signatures"? I felt terrible enough hearing a summary of the story here.. Idk if I'd like to know further detail though. Those poor girls..
You know the most irritating part? For all the big brother Apple and Google are along with the FBI they should easily be able to locate him off his voice alone. They claim everyone's voice is unique and worse still the FBI can get warrants fairly easily. I mean seriously this guy has a mobile phone you could likely catch him in a few days if you really wanted to. Or you could pull cell phone data it's mind numbing how easily this stuff can be solved anymore. Then you factor in we have literal spy satellites looking at all times meaning you can spot any unusual cars. We essentially let these people go. It's why our government can't seem to keep a truck load of humans out of a state even though they have to cross a checkpoint but somehow someone steals Lady Gaga's dog then they're on it.
@@darthbigred22 it is not that they have to have some clue to run that kind of voice search program and it would still be in the 100 of millions that amount of data would take massive warehouse server rooms stretching far as the eye can see. not that it would be the worst thing to try cause it would lead to catching horrible people like this. but like........also kinda how you become a syfi dystopia future
@@darthbigred22 you're just upset at nothing. Trying to find that person based off voice and a fairly blurry photo rarely works out. You might as well just line up everyone in the town and have some random person from out of town draw a number.
I live 2 hours away from the town where those two girls went missing, it's still one of the most disturbing and gut wrenching things to of happend in this area. I stopped fishing by myself because of this story along with having weird encounters with people along the river banks.
I really miss the days when you could upload three, four, even FIVE times per week. I take what I can get though. Huge fan of the work you and your mom put into this. Love the pod cast too. Always listen to it when I go running. Keep it up!
Every year they have a motorcycle run in Indiana to keep reminding everyone that Abby & Libby’s killer is still on the loose. I pray they catch this sick bastard and bring Justice to the families. I just cannot come close to imagining their pain. As a parent the greatest love I have is for my children and my family. 🙏🌹
@@ERIC-bt1qn AMEN! I heard the news they believe they caught him but I haven’t seen or heard if it was confirmed...as in they have charged the monster. Please God let it be true! Thank you Eric. 🙏🌹🇨🇦
This case has stuck with me since it happened. I have a daughter and 2 granddaughters and I can't imagine the parents grief. Mugshot looks alot like the creep in question.
Picture him sitting in a comfortable leather chair, and after a brief intermission, perhaps him perched on a tall stool, with a small mic on his ear, flannel shirt and backwards cap. I'd buy a ticket if he came near Richmond or Charlottesville Virginia.
@@chrisrivera3961 lol, I do live in that type of area & I don't mess around with them. Especially when you're looking right at it through your own window. Senseless
