Wife Found a Missing Girl’s Torture Tape On Her Husband’s VHS Camera 

His mother should have been charged with tampering/destroying evidence

Oh my god hearing the parents say they’re still checking shelters and leaving their door unlocked for her to come home made me cry at work 😢 poor parents

I couldn't imagine falling in love and getting married, only to find out the person I loved was a monster..... absolutely horrible

The way my jaw dropped when she said it was an 8-year-old girl...

Those families desperately waiting for their kids to reappear… It’d almost be less cruel to have a body just so they aren’t left hoping

The son is evil but the mother is a devil, because of her these young children will never get justice

Statue of limitation is such fking bs. I cant believe he got away. And wow what an epic fail on those detectives who forgot to record when he made that confession. And how in the world did he only get 15 years for murder?? That's insane. He should've either been given the death sentence or life in prison.

Only 15 years for murdering the wife's brother??? And then only 3 years for SA again??? Wtf..... what is up with those laws??

The bear and I are hiding😭😭

How can there be a statute of limitations on kidnapping and murder of children…

Barely a minute in and I'm already absolutely disgusted with the depravity of the human species...

It blows my mind that in S. Korea (and other countries) there is a statute of limitations on crimes that result in death (any degree of murder, manslaughter and others).

As a parent there is no statute of limitations when it comes to your child. No justice? That isn't a possibility for my children. I promise that prison would be far more preferable than answering to me.

I was sa'd by my "dad" who adopted me the day I was born so I always had his last name & never knew I wasn't his daughter until my mom yells during an extremely volatile argument "tell her the truth go ahead" vindictively to hurt him not considering how life changing it would affect me. point being-the assault happened at 8 yrs old while she was working & he was incredibly drunk. statute of limitations is 8 years in Arizona. so by the time I had the courage & was in my early 20's it was too late to see him get the justice I deserved. im 40 now & think about it nearly every day w/ anger, sadness & apathy. I believe in karma, but boy it sure takes its sweet time...

That really looks like an international child trafficking ring. Because, if he claims he's making money from this, than it means they are buyers. Also, how is first degree murder not punished by at least 25 years, if not life ?

Snuff films are so horrible. How could anyone do that to anybody? So disgusting. The pain those people go through. I can't even imagine.

The minute she started talking about the cannibal documentary, I recognised Cannibal Holocaust's plot.

South Korea + Japan has some ridiculous laws in which rapists, murderers, etc don't get much of a jail sentence and/or justice is not properly given. These two 1st world countries are backwards in its laws...an example:Junko Furuta, that one case is such a travesty.

This woman is so emotionally invested and insanely well-talented at commentating and distributing the information. The dude is asking the right questions too

My biggest fear when marrying someone is this..

When Stephanie said 8 year old girl my heart dropped to my stomach and I immediately stopped eating my dinner, i wanted to throw up. These kinds of cases really make me wonder just how fucked up your brain has to be to find pleasure in such a thing. And the fact of the law still excusing such things and being lenient, it makes you wonder who are these people making these laws? are they the same type of people as those that are committing these crimes?

Seeing her explain Cannibal Holocaust was fucking crazy LOL

Knowing that the families are still waiting still breaks my heart. Imagine the amount of happiness on their face and in their lives even if any one of the girls would have returned feels so reassuring. Hope the family members soon find peace🙏

Is it just me or does it seem like she’s been blessing us with videos any more frequently than usual?? Thank you to Steph and your team for working so hard to pump these videos out!

There is no other channel team like yours on RU-vid. Your writer is very talented, your acting is super engaging along with the background you set up & your editor is incredible. I’m also impressed that you all are also supporting advocacy groups. This story is so dark, as true crime tends to be, and it can be hard to do it without being invasive. You did that. Can’t say enough, just ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.

I’m bawling like a baby right now. Their parents sound like amazing people and they didn’t deserve any of this 😞

it’s so disturbing to know that these type of people roam the earth free from what disgusting acts they have done and from the other side of the earth no less

steph, never stop making these and please make subtitles for the language of where the case takes place. there needs to be more awareness for this circus of a justice system in korea and other countries, let them know the world is watching

I really can't imagine thinking I know everything about someone and trusting them completely only to discover horrifying things about them

Hey RM! There has been a sudden surge of kidnappings in the southeastern Indiana and Cincinnati area. There’s a 15 year old girl, a 16 year old boy, and a 17 year old girl from the quick research I’ve done, but my mom’s been telling me about it all week and I believe there may be more. I’m not sure if there’s a solid connection, but it may be worth looking into!

The ending part about the mom who said "lets not meet too late" my heart broke.....may their souls find peace and may he (the "alleged" perpetrator) never know rest, peace or happiness ever.

The parent’s comments at the end broke my heart💔💔💔

There is an old episode of Snapped where a woman shot her husband after she found the VHS tape he filmed himself abusing their oldest daughter and was the bio father of the baby she's carrying. Stuff like this happens everywhere and that's a scary ass realization.

Are there any stories of predators in South Korea that end in justice being served? How are all these horrible criminals allowed to re-enter society???

It genuinely disgusts me that the laws seem to protect these violent criminals instead of the people they’ve caused harm to. Not even revealing his identity to the public even after he’s been jailed twice, one for crimes involving children, it’s insane. He could just be around your child and you’d never know because the government thinks it’s important to reintegrate these type of people into society at the cost of your child’s safety

OMG if I were the wife I’d take that take and vhs player and go straight to the police station and get so far away from that weirdo

Just a quick note in case anybody is interested: Shudder has an original series called Cursed Films, and season 2 included an episode of Canninal Holocaust. They interviewed the people who made it, including the late director, and talked about the outcome of making something so controversial from the actors themselves.

It’s cute how Stephanie describes how a VHS tape looks and works, as I sit here remembering that I was alive before VHS was a thing. 😂

The first thing I noticed in this video was the fact that the duration of this video is 1:11:11 long

Watching videos like this makes me so grateful that l live in the US. I can’t wrap my head around people serving so little time for murder and then they get out and THEIR identity gets protected. That’s insane.

When Steph said "so there was a documentary crew that went to investigate a cannibal cult in the Amazon jungle", I knew EXACTLY what she was talking about (Cannibal Holocaust is the name of the film, bc steph doesn't actually say it from what I'm seeing, everything she says about how gross and unethical is valid tho)

This was told with such professionalism and kindness. Such a difficult thing to report. Very well done, thank you🌸

In India, for the criminal cases the time under the statute of limitation is same as the punishment for the crime. which means if a crime is punishable by death sentence or life imprisonment, the prosecution of that crime is not barred by any time period. simple as that.

"It's 2003, most people have moved onto DVDs by this point" - dude, I was still using VHSs until about 2010. We started the swap over about middle school for me, so somewhere around 2007

2:30 "ganking"😂

Thank you Steph & the RM team for all the time you spend doing research/filming so we can learn about worldwide cases

The description of the parents and how they're coping/what they're doing at the end really choked me up.

The film described is called Cannibal Holocaust, and there's a documentary about the whole thing called Searching for Cannibal Holocaust, they go to the Amazon and talk to locals about its creation, talk to the filmmakers, etc. There have been a couple other movies that have resulted in similar criminal cases or really long investigations because it's suspected that what is in the film is not special effects but real. In the 1970s, horror films were a huge industry in Italy (Cannibal Holocaust is an Italian movie) and they made some quite graphic stuff. After that, Japan held the crown for making extreme horror/gore films for awhile. I always found it interesting that while morons worry about violence in fiction causing violence done by the audience, the absolute most extreme fiction comes from the places with the lowest rates of violent crime.

it's so weird the way this video is 1:11:11 long and this video was posted 11 hours before this comment and the local time here as I am commenting is 1:11pm (Bangladesh). It's a hell of a coincidence

Stephanie taking several minutes to describe the Cannibal Holocaust scandal that every horror girlie knows was wiiiild. I didn’t think I’d see that today! Caught me by surprise!

it's just scary how intelligent some killers are, it's truly horrifying how people choose to use their intelligence for something so horrible

32:39 Im sorry but anyone who says they didnt know what they where gonna do with the girl, she just lured them, bogus. YOU KNOW exactly what men paying you for random girls are gonna do. No adult is that naive. 1k on top of it? its nothing compared to what they made off her, but thats a lot just for any quick job. I dont believe her saying she didnt know. Thats some denial right there. Theres no way she didnt even suspect. I dont believe it.

Not me listening to this for a second time ( after Spotify) cause I neeeed to see Stephanie talk, makes it feel like a new story ! 😂😂

It’s really sad to know that there are probably a lot of children who have to go through this and don’t get the justice they deserve :(.

The film makers doing horrendous things for footage wtf??

i love Stephanie Soo for always delivering accurate news in the most respectful way. I always find myself always crying for the victims. its heavy for my heart

“July 3rd 2002 around 10:30 am” my heart dropped THE DAY I WAS BORN😭😭😭

2:01: **almost breaks into tears describing the video** 2:20 "It's definitely gonna be a big fight when he gets home" 😆

This episode, along with 7 y/old girl's case in Pakistani( sorry, I don't remember that well), was such a heavy episode. Crimes against children are the hardest to hear about. Human depravity seems to have no limits to it. I can't believe those monsters live among us, in plain sight. Kidnapping children in broad daylight. I am scared to death for my daughter.

Hey can someone explain how the cannibal movie thing fits into the story? I’m completely lost on it

These types of cases must take such a toll on those covering them.. because it takes such a toll to even listen to them. It destroys me to think of how many people experienced heinous situations like this

This is the absolute best episode I have ever seen. Whoever you have on your team and of course you and your husband are amazing at putting these together and so quickly. The way the story is spliced and told is so captivating! Awful story and I'm only half way thru. I'm afraid to finish but it's amazingly done. I'm a fan for life!

I was balling my eyes out because I was SA ed when I was a child I was the same age as this little girl . I have gone on and became a stronger woman . Unfortunately my sa er only served 2 years in prison and 15 years probation because it was 1 for me and 1 for my sister who was six . So I feel for this little girl and the situation. Thanks steph for bringing cases like this to light and bringing it to the forefront sincerely Heather

This is so sad and disgusting.

At that point you call your most trusted men to beat up your husband within an inch of his life file for divorce and drop him off to the authorities with the tapes

Got me going for a second going no they don't think Cannibal Holocaust is real right lol

For anyone curious (assuming she didn't mention it as I am only halfway through the vid) the movie mentioned is called Cannibal Holocaust and not only is it more brutal than you think but it is banned in a majority of the WORLD.

This law from these places are nasty

You speak with such respect and in such an educated manner always showing these cases such care! Amazing job as always!

She’s in the wall, remember his wife saying in his sleep he was talking and said she’s in the wall.

It upsets me the most how much they protect these perpetrators identities.

“They don’t exist”? Daisy’s Destruction is all I have to say.

I just want to say, a genuine heartfelt thank you for your disclaimer at the start. I listened to the intro and felt feelings I know wasn’t wise for me to encourage - the anger was palpable. I could literally taste the hate in my mouth. Then you said “if you know you can’t deal with this log out, take care of yourself and see you in the next one” and I felt seen. I didn’t watch it to its entirety but thank you so much for audience sensitivity

Lenient sentences infuriate me so much. Unfortunately, criminals getting out of prison to just commit new crimes happens in many countries. In Finland, we have a serial killer called Michael Penttilä who is on and off in prison because of our insane legal system. The first time he went to prison, he got 7 years, for strangling his mother to death, abducting two 12 yo. girls, strangling one of them to death, and SAed the another. Each time he got out, he strangled someone under a year he was released, some of them died, and some didn't. Only his recent murder he got a life sentence because apparently he didn't mean to kill his previous victims. He just liked strangling people. For example, his mother's murder was apparently aggravated assault and negligent homicide. But since in Finland, the life imprisonment is never a lifetime, he'll probably get out once again. The average lifetime sentence is 18 years. The longest ever has been 25 years. Last time he got out, the were articles that warned he was out and told were he lived. Luckily, we don't have anonymity for people who made serious crimes, soat least we know what they look like.

the fact he walks a free man today after all of this is insane he's genuinely evil this sounds like something out of a horror movie

Anyone interested in the disturbing film genre knows about Cannibal Holocaust. It was the inspiration for the movie The Green Inferno made by Eli Roth.

Korea is a JOKE for releasing such a monster and not give us his identity

I always look forward to Wednesdays just because I know there will be a new Rotten Mango video. Stephanie is an exceptionally good storyteller. The same basic facts of any given case do not change, but the way something is told makes such a difference. She weaves a story that makes it so compelling, regardless of the case. Even when it's a case I already know well, I will watch her tell it because she does it so well. Having her now husband sit off camera listening makes it even more interesting. We're hearing her tell this for the first time, but we're also experiencing her telling it to her husband, who is also hearing it for the first time. It's sort of a meta experience that's really genuis. It definitely seems like it is his first time hearing it and it would be easier to genuinely listen for the first time than to try and pretend you are. Congratulations if you guys see this! You're a lovely couple and seem perfect for each other. That's a beautiful and rare thing. Cherish it.

"Self pleasuring until he reaches his destination" hahahahahahah I'm stealing that

I hate that it borders on victim-blaming, but god.. if only the wife had taken those tapes to police the moment she found them. And if there's one thing that people take away from this horrendous case, PLEASE let it be to make sure the children in your family know that they can tell you anything, not just if they're being hurt by someone, but even the secretive details of their daily lives, like the "cool guy" who invites kids into a house to play games. Don't make them too afraid of getting into trouble to tell you these things, because the main reason that children are so targeted by abusers is how easy it is to convince them to suffer in silence.

At five minutes and already 2000 views , crazy, you absolutely deserve it

Snuff films do exist, the Daisy film is banned all over the world.... What the guy did to kids there is digusting and he didnt care.

its a hurrible unhuman discusting crime, i cant imagine him going back to socity like a normal person with nobody knowing his crimes absolutely terrfingggg!

i love stephanie but her husband sometimes ask questions the she already explained, and repeat it more than once and it drives me crazy

I’m at the point in this story we’ve just been told the sex-prisoner is an 8yr old little girl😰I know these horrendous things happen but I can’t handle it😓I’ll never understand why ppl do things like this to children😭😭😭😭

My heart always aches when I hear how the parents of the victim waits for their child to come home leaving the door unlocked, never touching their room and personal belongings waiting for them to someday come back

If this happens to me I’d run out of the house crying, putting your love and trust into some this horrible would be terrifying.

I couldn't bring myself to see this entirely... Why are such horrible people still alive. 😢

When you said what year they disappeared it really hit me that these kids could have been my friends. They were around my age. This case makes me so angry, those poor babies

the bear would be more gentle

I feel so sad for the girls, justice will be serve

Honestly, i find this to be one of the saddest cases ive heard, ive always find it unfair how the criminal denies eveyrhting theyve done. in cases like these i just wish the truth could come out.

Stephanie u are a great storyteller. U bring such a high level of enthusiasm & energy. The way you use suspense, humor, and emotion in your storytelling is captivating & why i keep coming back to your channel for more.

I couldn’t sleep and went to YT to look for a crime documentary and I’m early for RM! Yayy!!

It's heartbreaking to see the criminal move on and live while the family's victims are living their lives are locked and frozen in time :(

stephanie is a real professional fr cause i’d be crying sobbing throwing up 10 minutes into the video

Mrmangobutt who never shows his face always asking “is their face in the video” got me dead

the title?? I CHOOSE THE BEAR.

This connection with Cannibal Holocaust is crazy...

Oh jeez, you just remind me about this movie, I was 8 y.o when I caught my older brother watching it on video tape. I couldn't believe how he could watch it. Ive got a trauma and couldnt sleep for a long time.
