This is a big failure on our justice system. The man had already fled after killing his wife and gotten in a standoff with the police. Had he not been able to post bail he could have ended up in jail or a mental asylum

The worse part, as always, is for the kids, parentless and having to live with such a horrible trauma.

Update on trent: In the ABC13 article, trent killed himself in a park RV in Ocala. Marion County Sheriff's department in Florida got a tip that he was on a resort. When the police knocked on the Car door, they found trent dead on the van. Savanah's mother doesnt feel sorry for what happened to trent, and criticized the judges who let trent on bail.

I had a $250,000 bail in Baltimore City over being accused/charged with drug trafficking stemming from THC-Infused brownies. This kind of thing makes my brain melt.

He hurt every last person directly connected to him, what a monster. Good video.

I can't feel sorry for his parents. My mum would let me rot in prison if I killed my wife, and rightly so.

Savanah's parents don't have to worry about Trent coming back for them or the kids anymore, but now the kids don't have either of their biological parents. this is just heartbreaking. just a truly awful situation for everybody

"Oh no, my son just killed his wife and took away his kids mom. Oh we better let him out of jail, here let's lose the house!" The parents are no worse

"I put everything into this relationship, I have done nothing to your mom. I never hit her, I never hurt her, I never called her names." One thing I realized in life is if someone tries to make themselves look like a better person by listing off all the bad things they didn't do, they are not a good person. Instead of listing good things he did in their relationship, he lists off bad things he could have done, but chose not to do it. He thought about doing those bad things, but decided not to. People in a healthy relationship don't think about hurting someone they love. And he's unable to list good things he did in the relationship because there were no notable good things.

I cannot imagine the stress Savanah’s parents and children are going through. I’m not sure the age of the kids but I can assume they are stressed out from both of their parents mysteriously disappearing in their eyes and now their grandparents are stressed out. It’s terrible situation.

The judge should be held accountable for his crimes

"I dOn'T kNoW wHy sHe wOuLd cHeAt oN mE" says the man who is the type of guy who would ambush his wife in the bathroom and shoot her dead. Pretty sure he was a walking talking red flag throughout their entire marriage. Oh and I'd bet anything her "cheating" was in reality more than likely that they were separated and she was seeing someone. Narcissists see this as "cheating" when it's simply a person trying to move on before their divorce is finalized.

He destroyed so many people’s lives and likely went out believing he was completely justified and in the right.

The justice system is completely to blame for all this he should have never been released from jail.

The sheer amount of people in this comment section saying she deserved it for cheating it actually scary. Especially considering the killer only ASSUMED she cheated. There's no confirmation if she actually did or not. And even if she did, just divorce her. Cheating is horrible no doubt, but murder is a whole different ball park. If you honestly think murder is a valid response to even assuming someone cheated, you need serious help.

That first clip reminded me of when I had my son. My son is almost 18 now, so this would have been back in 2004. RU-vid was pretty new and we were trying to be cutting edge with our newborn baby videos. Instead of sending them to every family member every time I figured we would just make him his own little RU-vid channel and let everyone know when there was a new video or two. We bought a flip, which was a really small/light camcorder that made making videos really convenient (cell phone cameras weren't really a thing) and it even came with software to make minor edits super easy. So i was posting quite a bit. After the first few months the frequency slowed until we really weren't uploading much and eventually stopped all together and just texted pics or uploaded to Facebook, which proved way easier than RU-vid since everyone would see it without any alert necessary. Anyway, a few years later I remembered that RU-vid channel and went to watch some of the videos of our baby boy and reminisce. After clicking through a few of them I noticed a guy commenting on the videos that we didn't know. So I went back to the start and see when he started and see what he commented in chronological order. Out of 30 videos, he wound up commenting on all of them, but it seemed like his first comment was about midway through the year and he went back to watch all of them. Comments were "what a cute baby" "such a sweet family" and then they start with the guy suggesting we make certain kinds of videos with my son, like we should make a video of him going down a certain slide, or pushing him backwards in a swing. Nothing crazy but just super weird to be making requests. Then he starts commenting that he recognizes the park we are in, and he knows the neighborhood. Then complaints that we haven't posted in so long, and how that's unfortunate. I had to keep reminding myself this was years ago, and those comments I was reading weren't written in one sitting, the way I was reading it, this had happened over time as he probably got more and more "familiar" with us and then how annoyed he got with the lack of uploads. I guess the point of the story is how random and easily stuff like this can happen. We had a tiny channel with random short videos of a brand new baby, just like a million other channels and boom... Immediately we get a psycho viewer. I like to think about how he must have thought at first we were ignoring him, and then creeped out by him, etc. Meanwhile we had no idea it was going on and by the time we noticed it was long long over. He got lucky, if you ask me. People don't seem to understand how protective new parents can get. Especially in the very beginning. If someone threatened my son or wife , I can't even imagine the rage back then.

She was a funeral director for a funeral home I use to work for. Nothing but sweet things were said about her. Such a tragedy.

There's something seriously wrong with that judge if he thought it was appropriate to release this guy on bail THREE times. Wtf. Can't help but wonder if the judge sympathized with this PoS because "Aww poor guy got cheated on. She brought her own murder on herself. Who cares that he left his kids without a mom and also tried to kill several cops?" Pretty disturbing to think about a person like that in a position of power. He needs to be disbarred.

What a horrible thing to live through. Feel terrible for the kids, and it’s bad enough the children go through something so awful.

This is why judges need to have a spotlight on the cases they work. True crime should stop focusing on the killers but of the people in higher positions that allowed them to get away with it.

All my prayers are with the children... to know that they will eventually find out what happened to their biological parents pains me greatly, no child should ever have to deal with this. Even if his accusations of Savannah cheating were true, to resort to taking her life was a punishment far uncalled for. In the end, Trent punished himself and rid the world of his presence for us.

The fact that he virtually got away with doing this alive and somehow survived the police shooting, it's just blood boiling. The man does not deserve to go on bail, the dude is way too dangerous. He basically got away with it by taking his own life smh.

He may have taken his own life but the repercussions of his actions are unchangeable and so horrible. He ruined every one of his family's lives, leaving their kids without parents, making his parents lose their home, he left a path of destruction and he took the coward's way out.

It's so bizarre. I went to Elementary school with Ethan, and while I never directly interacted with him (I'm 2ish years older) I do remember seeing him around since the school wasn't very big. Seeing that video of him during that period that we were peers, the face I remember the most clearly, it took me REALLY off guard. I had to pause the video for a second.

Wow this is incredible Nick. First, the legal system failed big time. How could they let him go after what he did? But the saddest thing is those poor kids are left without parents. I'm a new subscriber to your channel and I've been binge watching your videos. Especially since I'm in quarantine at the moment. You're a great storyteller. Keep up the great work Nick!

it’s hard to feel bad for the parents for paying that much to let a monster out

To take your own life after committing such atrocities is sad. He was nothing but a coward and death like that was way to easy for him. I can't imagine what the children will go through in their lives not having a mother or a father especially in the way they were snatched from their lives. God bless their grandparents and God bless them.

This case once again shows the absolute distinction of our criminal justice system. It almost seems to want criminals to go out and commit more crimes. Under no circumstances should this man ever been given bail. The judge in this case should be removed from his position forever. He gave no care whatsoever to the people left alive in this case, his in laws and his children that had to live in fear every day. What a joke our system has become.

The main takeaway from this (other than the fact that he should’ve been denied bail and imprisoned) is that those ankle monitors can be removed too easily.

I really feel sorry for the children in this story. I can't imagine going through something like this.

Some people don’t deserve to be judges

Update: as of April 2021 Trent was found deceased in a van in Florida

That judge who set this murderer free needs to be removed.

he ruined his kids’ life, his parents’ and savannah’s parents’ lives, he’s truly disgusting.

Trent Paschal died by suicide inside a van at an RV park in Florida by gunshot January 3, 2022. I don't understand why he would kill his wife, not thinking about his children. So sad.

Recently found this channel and have BINGED it big time. High quality content and I can’t thank you enough for saving my sanity during night shifts at work 🙏🏻

This isn't the first or last time dangerous criminals like this have been let out on bond here in Houston, TX.. Our DA literally sucks. They recently let out a man that evaded police after an attempted car jacking and was eventually caught by a K9 unit, the man then proceeded to stab the dog several times with a concealed knife (and I believe two other people?) Before he was arrested. He was eventually let out on bond and stayed with his father once he was out, after family couldn't get in contact with him. Police searched the home and found the father's truck missing and the him dead in the garage (cause unknown but confirmed foulplay.) His son was then arrested again after fleeing from police during a traffic stop, in the stolen truck.... this literally all could have been prevented if he hadn't been let out on bond..

“i never hurt her 🥺” *literally kills her*

Man this channel just has such solid videos. It's hard to describe in words the specific videos I can watch all day, the ones on this channel are profound to me. Thank you so much for these. These are so well done and richly researched. The research alone is amazing.

Update for anyone who was wondering, Trent killed himself

You can see the rage in his face when he heard the noise. He's not sorry. 🙄 He knew exactly what he was doing.

Seriously, when are we going to start holding judges responsible for allowing people, who are an obvious risk to society, to walk free to inevitably commit more crimes?!? it's this absolutely mind-blowing and disgusting how often this happens. Who the hell is supposed to be protecting the citizens?!?

I read an article about this case, I didn't realize he was a youtuber. The media played it down like he just randomly posted his apology to YT.

Currently binge watching your channel, I found you a couple hours ago randomly on my RU-vid homepage/recommendations. This is a case where all my heart goes to those poor kiddos who have to grow up without their parents, with the trauma their father left behind and knowing that justice was never served for their mother because he took the coward’s way out.

"i havent hit her, i havent hurt her" - moments before he kills her

Yeah I don't feel bad for his parents at all. They paid bail for their 40 year old grown ass son who MURDERED someone.

Just found your channel! So happy right now. Thank you for the great work.

The way you compose your videos makes them so terrifying even during the day, great job! 👍

I feel so awful for the children and parents of Savannah. Im glad to know at least this monster cant hurt them now

On January 3rd of this month, it was reported by Floridan police that Trent Paschal was found dead by a self-inflicted gun wound in Marion County. Good video as always 👍

Title: "RU-vid's Missing Killer". End of video: turns out he's not missing anymore. 😂

For anyone wondering, reports from January 3rd, 2022 say Trent Paschal committed suicide in Marion County, Florida

A coward to the end. Tried to die by police shootout, failed. Fled from his home despite it ruining his parent's lives. Took himself out before he was sent back to prison to serve his rightful sentence. A true narcissist who couldn't take responsibility for his actions and didn't care whose lives he trashed in his wake. What a POS.

Gee I can’t imagine why she’d want to leave a gem like him

love the way you speak about cases and the fact I'm so into true crime and I've never heard most of them before! you're awesome

Fun fact as of today Trent Paschal was actually pronounced dead after vanishing out of existence for a while police got a tip that he was at an RV park in Florida they knocked on the door of his RV when Trent shot himself moments after.

I understand parents unconditional love for their children BUT I question why they don’t set boundaries after they find out about the murder. If my son did something so cold and calculated, I would never ever risk 250k let alone my house over this. His reason for killing her would never be acceptable and I would focus on helping the grandkids recover from such a traumatic incident. Now they have to deal with the stress of taking out 250k loan and the huge strain they placed in any future relationship with their grandkids/family.

He destroyed so much in such a short amount of time... the judge that decided he was eligible for bail should be fired

i’ve been watching your videos all morning and you make some amazing content keep up the good work!!

Cheating never gets you anywhere, but murder won't make life any better .

It's baffling just how incredibly short-sighted our justice system can be, sometimes. How in the world could a judge ever conceive letting this man go on bail!?!

Ah man. When I heard "I want you to know, that you mean everything to me" at beginning, I damn near jumped out of my bed. I instantly knew it was that animal and I really feared the worst for his kids when you said it wasn't over. Thankfully he's gone now. Rest in peace, Savannah. And rest in piss, Trent.

I’ve come to realize that the justice system doesn’t truly exist, it’s just a legal system. I’ve also come to realize how stupid people are to say shit like “well then she shouldn’t have cheated” in defense of what he did as if he wasn’t obviously an abusive narcissist who would make up any lie like that.

I'll never understand why some people think that murder is a better choice than divorce.

Nick is one of those youtubers thats WORTH a upload a month schedule :)

Kept coming up on my recommended section, and had me subbed within 2 seconds of your voice over, good voice :)

Imagine how difficult it would be to get a really objective jury with the entire Earth as a witness!

Can't Imagine how terrible his parents must've been to pay for his bail three times. Complete denial of his actions -or maybe even helping him in some way- Edit: His parents did more harm than good by posting his bail.

Wow, perfect timing I just got out of surgery and I'm completely bored!!

Always a good night shift when nick drops a new video

Nick, I noticed that your videos are typically a month apart, but the content is awesome. If it takes a month to see every new video, I don't mind because I get to see what an awesome job you do with your video content.

Gotta love, amidst his “tearful” little confession, how he stops to preen and comment on his appearance. Don’t worry, buddy. You’re vile no matter what.

They released this dude three times. The irony of it happening in Texas

“I’ve never hit her” *proceeds to murder her*

Heard you were recently diagnosed with COVID from SOG. Wishing a quick recovery Nick!

His parents are truly disgusting for getting their monster son out of prison and taking him in. I don't care what their excuse was. I honestly think his parents should go to prison with him especially since Trent's ankle bracelet was found at his parents house. They helped him escape...

That shot at 10:30 sent chills up my spine

Its good to hear the Police caught up to him, and thats that. I hope the remaining family members can finally have peace.

So terrible how people can do this... its scary, I wonder if his wife came back home not knowing of his plan... because she woud have never thought he would take it that far. RIP to his parents, children, and Savannah.

This is truly horrible. I feel so much sympathy for the family members involved. Especially, the children.

What a coincidence that I just watched your "darkest RU-vid channels 3" that I randomly picked where you talked about this family, before even clicking at this video

*update* they released his corpse on bail.

I pray those children seek the help they need to lead healthy lives. And I hope that judge stews in regret for the extended pain they caused. Just because someone is on the older side, it doesn’t mean they’re any less of a threat to themselves or others.

Well done judge, you had one job

At 11:57 i saw what you did there putting my beautifull city Amsterdam in it, The Damsquare. Love the channel and videos by the way. Keep it up!! Greetings from Amsterdam

What are those judges doing in Texas?😒

I understand the fear the families are experiencing since I'm in a similar situation. Why judicial systems grant bail are outrageous at times and only lead to more chaos. Since it's not affecting them it doesn't matter. They're not the ones forced to live in fear. It's extremely ridiculous!!

Yes, I could understand the public outcry of him being let out on bail. Also, you only have to post ten percent bail, so it would have been $25,000, not the full $250,000. What a POS: Not only did he k&ll the kids' mom, he also obviously abandoned them.

Shocking that this can happen to A Normal Family. Disturbing...

Thanks for the flashing lights warning at the beginning. 🥰It really means a lot to me as an epileptic

His parents should be ashamed of themselves for helping him knowing he killed his wife. No sadness felt by me for them losing their home over it!

As harsh as it sounds, I'm so happy the kids and their guardians can now live anxiety-free.

With the name Trent you know it’s already going to be pretty horrific.

Wow... just crazy. Just shows that honestly anything could happen to anyone at anytime.

It's sickening when a person who should get a life sentence gets bail

He died by suicide on 3 Jan 22

bro this story is just sad, bad things happening at every turn. glad her kids are safe tho

for those wondering, he was found at a trailer park where he shot himself as the police attempted to apprehend him.

So many sicko people here justifying murder because she cheated. Cheating is one of the worst things you can do to your partner, but I'd say murder TOPS that.
