YouTube's Darkest Channels 6 

It’s so sad that Chyenne was clearly covering up for him. She immediately warned him about the camera and told him to be careful. What an absolute monster.

Nick forgot to mention that Austin's mental health issues made him believe he was a horse, and later on a dog. He also believed he was invincible, genuinely thinking he'd survive walking into fast-moving traffic.

The way he planned out Cheyanne’s murder for months is the sickest part. I hope the other inmates find out exactly what he did and give him what he really deserves.

Austin's story is absolutely horrific and heartbreaking, even just thinking he has to live with the knowledge of what he did for the rest of his life. A detail you left out was that he screamed to the officers 'please help, I'm eating people!' as if part of him was aware of what his psychosis was making him do, but he couldn't stop himself. I sincerely hope he finds some peace.

So basically, the reason why Chyenne "disappeared" was because Terry developed an attraction to her and realized that he would eventually be caught, so he took the most extreme route. What a sick bastard, good riddance

It's utterly terrifying that Cheyenne's last video was literally seconds away from turning into CP if she didn't stop him

The way she said "I'm on a live be careful", "be careful"!! She was so used to it that she knew what he was there for and protected him by saying "be careful". Holy mother! How terrible. R.I.P

The fact RU-vid makes you censor such mild words just shows how insane the world has become

I feel like the worst part about Chyenne's story was how she covered for him. It makes me believe she was groomed into thinking her situation with him was okay. No child deserves what she went through

Therapist here. Austin’s case is the quite literally the worst case scenario for schizophrenia: Sudden onset, extreme delusions, and no support network. the overwhelming majority of schizophrenia cases are non-violent, and most violence cases are self-inflicted, but that just makes cases like this all the most horrifying and tragic.

austin’s case is literally insane i’ve never heard a story and kept getting shocked over and over the longer it went on

The call on the Austin segment to 911... "Do you need police, fire or medical?" - "Police and medical" - "Fire and rescue, what's your address?" I feel that was the one thing he didn't ask for.

Poor Chyenne. That webcam video is horrifying with context. The way she flinched, became so uncomfortable, I'm sick.

It’s so frightening how many children are living in a home like that of Cheyenne to some degree and often times there’s nothing done for them until it’s far too late. RIP Cheyenne

Austins case is exactly why its so important to destigmatize mental health, particularly mental health that has to do with psychosis or manic episodes. Theres so much shame pushed onto those dealing with these symptoms by society and media by and large that its no wonder Austin slipped through the cracks. I'm sure his friends and family assumed he had to be healthy due to his bodybuilding but it just goes to show you cant judge how sick someone is by their physical appearance sometimes.

"....a flying lawnmower". That's pretty terrifying. Roman definitely had massive skills... I've never seen an RC helicopter move that way.

Oh, Chyenne. Poor sweet little girl with that baby face, just wanting to have fun. What a heartbreaker.

Cheyenne's case made me sick🤢 i hope that monster rots in prison. Rip little angel.

Why can't people leave kids alone

chyenne has one of the saddest and most disturbing cases. she was old enough to understand her abuser was just that, an abuser, but she was too young to stop it. may she rest in peace for eternity.

I thought when you said Austin ran into a light that what he was seeing was headlights from a car and that he got ran over. But man, what actually happened was 100x worse than I could've imagined. 😬

Poor Cheyenne. Every child deserves a parent but not every parent deserves a child.

That little girl in the first one breaks my heart. The only life she probably ever knew was a hard life but she still managed to smile and laugh. May God rest her sweet soul.

"Today's horrific child murder and sexual assault is brought to you by PDS debt"

that last one honestly terrified me. the fact that the kid unprompted ran and killed someone and ate someone, is one of the most terrifying things I've ever heard

How we can see people struggling so badly, don’t give them ANY help, and then put every ounce of blame onto them for whatever happens… it’s disgusting

I went through a less serve but still violent situation like Austin’s case with my ex husband. We married early.. there were signs but I was young. In less than 2 years he was a complete different man who beat me one night because I wouldn’t say he was smarter than Stephen Hawking in a fight. His family and friends saw what he did to me, our house, himself, our finances.. nobody helped. It took him being arrested and jailed multiple times for him to get help. Took almost a decade to find him and have him be well enough to sign divorce papers. Early 20s for men and schizophrenia especially. It’s easily explained away to some as alcohol and drug dependence but that’s them self medicating usually in an attempt to relieve symptoms. I’m begging people, please pay attention to these huge swings and believe people when they tell you your loved ones are acting out of sorts.

Cheyenne’s story is so heartbreaking. The way she protects Terry from incriminating himself in that video… she truly deserved so much better.

The most disturbing part about Cheyenne's case is how unaware she seems to be of how he is manipulating and grooming her.

Austin's mental health must've been so bad that he could endure all of those things that people did to stopped him. And people still think mental health isnt important

honestly its really scary to think about. it makes me wonder if the reason Cheyenne filmed so much was to make sure her step father didnt hurt her.

Everytime I see one of these videos on my home page im always like "Oh great, another video to be entertained at for like an hour" but also "Alright, I guess lets get depressed and find out about horrendous thing people have done in the world"

The story of roman was so sad because his friends and father watched his face get cut in half and then almost get decapitated

My dad’s been an aeromodeller since long before I was born. When I was 9 we had gone out to a flying spot with a huge one propeller plane he’d just finished. I was running up ahead following its flight path and all of a sudden he lost power/control. All I heard was “HIT THE DECK COVER YOUR HEAD” bellowed by him from the other end of the field. I threw myself belly down and put my arms/hands over my head. It crashed onto the back of my left knee and the prop cut me. I still have the scar to this day and me and dad thought it was hilarious. My mother did not because yes it could have seriously damaged my head but I listened to him as soon as he said hit the deck thank goodness. I think he had to spend the night on the couch. RIP the lad who was killed.

Cheyenne's case made me so sad, and i relate to her very much. being molested by my stepdad, at times being afraid he could hurt or kill me, the way she flinched in that video and the way she switched to a comedic persona, its all so heartbreaking and so infuriating

Austin was documenting his mental decline and it culminated in a double murder. Nobody intervened until he was beyond No Return, regressed into some sort of wild animal as a result of an episode, and it lead to two lives lost

Schizophernia is such a sad and horrible disease... you could be living a normal, healthy life and then BAM! Your own mind has turned against you.

Aw poor Roman, that's so sad. I can't imagine being one of his familymembers, sitting there, celebrating and sharing a hobby with a loved one, only to witness the most horrific events a parent - or sibling, can imagine. His poor father, I have 2 kids (13&16) and I would be an absolute mess, smh it's almost unfathomable.

Cheyanne was such a pure girl and imagining how she died probably knowing it was her end is so heartbreaking

That last story... That guy was trying to save his wife only to be eaten alive while the police is helpless in stopping the attacker.

Austin tried telling several people, including his negligent parents, about his mental issues; friends and family also witnessed a drastic shift in his behavior. Shame on his family.

Cheyenne's case is so incredibly sad, she seemed like such a sweetheart. Why are all the good people taken too soon?

RIP sweet baby Chy - you deserved so much better

I wish more people knew that schizophrenia and other mental illnesses very often present in the early 20s for people who were otherwise completely sane until that moment. If anyone had recognized the signs in Austin's behavior and gotten him the help he so clearly needed, a tragedy could have been prevented. RIP, that poor couple.

Austin's case is deeply frightening, both for the victims and for Austin himself. I couldn't imagine coming to only to realize you've done something so horrible. Schizophrenia is a truly terrifying experience for many...

Rest In Peace, Cheyanne, you deserved so much better. Cant even begin to describe how my heart broke when watching this.

25:39 “something was bound to snap…” AD: SNAP YOUR W-2 AND GET YOUR TAXES-

As someone that's been abused and has friends that have been abused/SAed by a parent... I knew immediately what Chyanne was going through. The immediate change in behaviour, the warning, the flinching... It's all too familiar. That poor, poor girl.

for anyone confused by what seems like a weird setting, when he says 2003 in the second story, he means 2013. when he says 2006 in the final story, he means 2016. that's why roman had youtube videos and austin was singing fetty wap lol

Austin's case is really bone chilling man, imagine youre just living your life and your brain suddenly turns on you. Horrible man wish him goodluck on his recovery and condolences to the family of the victims

I went to my girlfriends house for lunch. (Mid 80s) Somehow, she put a VHS tape (not sure why that tape) in the player. It was a home-video. A person was filming the family, etc. My girlfriend walked in and the camera zoomed way in on her face, etc. and when she turned around it zoomed in on her rear end. A lot. I asked, "who has the camera?" "Oh, my dad." I'm not sure if she was trying to tell me something (now I think she was), but I told her it was weird that he would do that. I was 15, but I still feel guilty for not helping somehow.

Austin speaking about being healthy and not taking drugs has more to it, he was supposed to be on (prescribed) medication but didn't want to take them. What a horrific ending.

I feel bad for Cheyenne and Roman. Cheyenne just wasn’t allowed to be a child and Roman was partaking in a wholesome hobby. I wish Cheyenne’s mom protected her. She must have known!

I legit did not expect Austin's story to become what it did. It actually caught me off guard

Austins case could happen to anyone with the wrong genetics. Dude suffered a violent psychotic episode, it was escelating for months and no one got him help until it finally snapped and he went full psychotic. He had no control over himself at that point, such a tragedy for everyone involved

I'm glad they handled Austin's case as they did. That kid was suffering agonies beyond comprehension. I'm sorry for his victims, too. Chyenne's story was absolutely heartbreaking. That poor baby never had a chance. She was killed by a man she called Dad. He should be under the prison. At least Roman died doing what he loved. R.I.P. to all the victims. And thank you for bringing us their stories.

I really hope that Roman’s dad and his friends were able to recover from the trauma of watching their son/friend getting accidentally decapitated. R.I.P., Roman.

as someone who has had psychotic episodes before, hearing austin’s story affected me a lot. its a tragedy for everyone involved. RIP to the victims

Bro - the way you ended Chy’s story with her saying “K, bye” was truly disturbing and utterly surreal

The fitness guy was showing a bunch of signs. His sister said that he kept making comments about being immortal and being part horse. He had a mental breakdown and his family just watched. It had been going on for a while.

Cheyennes story is absolutely horrifying, imagining someone you trust so much do this is scary

23:08 "not for everyone, to the point that it's indiscernible from irony" is my new favorite insult

“Mother lives with step father and boyfriend” Of course that situation would deteriorate.

Thanks. You filled in news events I'd heard but never new the back story.

idk if you left out information for dramatic effect, but Austin left the restaurant twice, the first time herded back inside by a friend he was with. He changed his clothes at his mom's after she made him stop drinking the vegetable oil. He swung at his dad after his dad hit the tabletop, demanding to know what was wrong with [him]. And leading up to all of that, he asked his parents to pay for therapy. They said they could love it out.There were several moments to intervene. There were several points to course correct, and all of them were deliberately ignored

That last story is horrifying. The fact he had no idea what was happening and then coming back to a waking nightmare. It’s crazy how someone with such minimal and spontaneous signs of mental distress can just snap like that so suddenly and not even know what they did after the fact. Edit: Thank you for the replies!! It’s interesting discussing with you guys and getting different perspectives on this case.

Chy is one of millions of girls and boys out there experiencing this sexual abuse/assault in their OWN homes from their OWN so called families its scary how much ppl have experienced this thing for the very first time .. at their houses. Please speak up dont be ashamed u might save a life cause a person who do such stuff to their family will do it to innocent random ppl some day save yourself and save another life and speak up💙

I watched all of your vids on this series and let me tell you you’re rlly great at it! I like this series and learn a lot from it!

As someone with Schizophrenia, he needs help badly. I started developing at 13, I've had episodes, hearing and seeing things. Luckily, I was diagnosed 13 years later in jail. After many years and psychiatrists, I'm on the best medication and live a normal life just like everyone else. Mental illness is no joke.

Poor Chyenne. She had such a vibrant spirit despite her horrific life. I see myself in her. I'm 43, but looking back on me as a socially awkward teenager. I did not go through anything like she did. How awful for her.

That letter she wrote breaks my heart. CHEY. ❤ All children should be protected and cherished!

I watched this days ago but I cant get that poor little girl Chyenne out of my mind. I mean it is HAUNTING me. Omg how could her evil stepfather organize such an evil premeditated act. Its hard enough to realize how he warped this poor girl's idea if love to the point where she covered for him, but then to have her pen her own runaway letter? This mother needs to rot for eternity. I hate him.

As a personal victim of SA from my father(biological not step in my case) It infuriates me beyond belief that this continues to happen to innocent girls. We don’t deserve this, no one does. Edit: To clarify some responses I will add this reply to the main thread. I am 100% an advocate for male victims and I apologize if I came off insensitive to that. I was just speaking based off of the the story Nick covered. It’s horrible that children are abused sexually, period.

Chyenne probably felt very guilty for what she was doing with him, and that's why she tried protecting him. She was concerned for him, because he made her feel like they were doing something they weren't supposed to. It's one thing to abuse your step daughter, which is awful in its own right, but another to kill her out of fear of being caught. He could've just stopped abusing her. Even if he doesn't come clean, even if he suffers no consequences, he could've just stopped and she would be alive. It's even sadder that she loved him.

Damn, this channel never ceases to deliver! Top-notch editing, excellent stories with verifiable sources.... Thank you so much! Austin's case is absolutely haunting. If you'd tell that to anyone off the loop, they'd think you're kidding them. It seems to come sraight out of a cheap horror movie, but as you said, there has been a lot of similar cases, in real life...

Wow this is some really disturbing stuff. Great work

Austin's case is grim. That he was clearly having issues and no one around him either cared enough or knew enough to see what was going on.

The first story with Chyenne breaks my heart. She looks identical to my best friend and acts a lot like her too. That poor girl deserved so much more. Rest in Peace Chyenne. You deserved so much better in life.

Chyanne was calling out for help asking the viewers at the end of the clip, "what do I do guys? What do I do?" grabbing her head as he sits there waiting for the video to end.

I absolutely love your content nick! You have such an eye and skill for drawing the viewer in, and keeping them riveted 'til the last second. The passion with which you share these stories is just...sublime. I look forward to the future of your work, the sky is the limit, and you have the vision to look beyond it. Thank you for the hours of entertainment and distraction, in a heartbreaking world that is ever harder to understand or bear ❤

As someone who also lived in a crowded hoarder home and was SA’d by my stepfather I feel so much for Cheyanne I wish so much someone could have saved her she deserved to have a happy life she deserved to feel safe:(

I went to Cheyenne's youtube channel as soon as you mentioned it was active, and the first video I saw was the most recent one. As soon as this dude came in and she kinda walked over and touched his arms, and then he began to "play slap" her, I had to stop it and come back. I had an instant bad feeling about whatever I was seeing. Literally, as soon as his legs entered the shot, I got a shiver. I didn't even notice what they were saying. It was really the, "See how abusive he is?" that did it for me. Even in a joking matter, something felt wrong immediately. And all for some sick man's selfish lust. This makes me want to cry. She just seemed like such a sweetheart. A complete loss to the world to not have her in it.

Jeez idk where this channel came from but I'd of been subscribed to this immediately. Algorithm takes too much time to show channels I want like this! Love this!

That Chyenne story got me. 😢 What a lovely, bubbly young girl. Especially when you consider everything she was going through. My heart truly bleeds for her. R.I.P. Chyenne.

Cheyenne must have sensed something was going to happen. She said, "Someone got my 1st channel." What if it was her step dad? Maybe that was his 1st attempt at stopping her from making videos.

chyenne's story is absolutely heartbreaking. it hits so close to home for me, she reminds me a lot of myself when i was her age. she seemed super bubbly and friendly, very trusting and creative. it's gut wrenching to think of everything that poor baby went through at the hands of that monster. even when he was hurting her, she tried to protect him and trusted him. she trusted him enough to go into the woods with him that day and it cost her her life. chy deserved to live, to grow and learn and embrace herself for who she was and become a beautiful human being. she had so much love and light to give to the world, only for it to be taken by that monster. even though he tried, she never stopped being that loving and caring person. her siblings must miss her terribly. and now that i've seen her, i miss her too. i hope that she's resting, using that bright smile and positive energy on the other side. rest in peace, chy. you deserved so much more than you got. ❤

whoever edits these type of videos ....really have a great future.....what an edit dude.....amazing

It’s important to mention what was left out of this documentary that Austin was a member of a fraternity and was surrounded by friends who also received many texts from him trying to get drugs. He was fixated on procuring drugs at college and He bragged to them about being wasted all the time. While he was acting schizophrenic in many ways he was also abusing drugs and any he could get his hands on. if he used bath salts, which were found at gas stations, they aren’t easy to find in your system because it was a new drug on the scene. It’s also extremely important to mention he also consumed chemicals that he found in the garage nearly killed him. His body almost shut down. If the hospital didn’t have those special test to detect bath salts they were much more concerned about him clinging to life and saving the damage he did during his chugging of chemicals in between eating his mother’s neighbors faces. He also languished in prison for almost 7 years before the state gave up and decided to drop the charges, but not before putting the family through hell preparing for a trial. The state literally gave up the day of trial at trial-and the family of the deceased had impact statements prepared and ready to read in court. They shared them with the press instead. What struck me was how much evidence they had that he WAS abusing drugs but the regular tests came up negative. The face eater in Miami ALSO had a negative drug test but the cops knew he took bath salts. Bath salt tests were NOT accurate nor good in 2016 and even though Austin may have had schizophrenia he was 100% admitting to using drugs to his friends via text. IMO he was on bath salts that day and he just didn’t have them show up on his drug screen because he consumed chemicals and the only way to test for bath salts is urine. The chemicals excreted in his urine could have caused the drug test not to work.

As soon as I saw how Roman was flying the helicopter so closely to his own body, I thought "He's gonna cut his head off." I wish I hadn't been right. His Dad, his friends, the witnesses, they can't unsee what they saw. 😢

Romans story with his RC helicopter 🚁 is the very reason why people always say before attempting any dangerous tricks "FOLKS, PLEASE DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME !" Fair winds to accompany your travels R.I.P Brother🙏

Disappointingly bad retelling of what happened with Austin. Its like you barely did any research. His mother was home, he did not drink the oil, he did not run to the restaurant (his mom drove him) he didnt run straight towards a light (he ran 4 miles and attacked what he thought was a witch) Its like you just made up half the details because you were rushing to get the video out.

anyone can be anything you could be normal, a psychopath, a sociopath, a murderer, a victim, an accomplice, or just an onlooker there's no telling when, where, why, or how it's only a matter of time, and your choices

Chyenne's story makes me feel so sad and disgusted and the saddest part is that there are many such cases. I wish women with kids were more careful about who they bring into their homes.

I feel sorry for both Austin and the couple killed by his episode. The poor guy seemed genuinely really nice, and even was pursuing music as a creative outlet. He just didn't get the help he needed until it was too late to prevent something like this. Heart also goes out to the officers that showed up. That scene probably haunts their dreams to this day.

The first story,well all of them were a tragedy,made my stomach flip seeing the step father come in. I noticed that there was no real comment regarding her mother? At any rate I feel settled that the step father is doing life in a Penitentiary and that sweet girl is at peace. I just subscribed to this channel and will check out other videos, good job presenting!

NICK with the bangers as always!! The last one got me 😨

Cheyenne’s video made my stomach sank when her step father walked in frame, already understanding what may be going on

No wonder stepdad didn't mind his wife's boyfriend moving in... 🤮🤮 RIP, poor Chyenne.

It's interesting that Cheyenne was overly developed for her young age. Poor little girl must have been going through it for years.

i'm so glad that when you censor what you're going to say you put it in the captions i hate when people make the voice really deep and backwards like
