Hey Lazy! Love your videos. Big fan. One request though: I don’t normally seek these types of videos out, but a couple years ago I caught a brief glimpse of a video that has stuck with me ever since. I’ve always wondered if it was real or staged somehow. I think it was actually a .gif, but I’m not positive. The video was of a young man on a skyscraper - I think his friend was filming him walk along the ledge - when suddenly the man’s foot slips and he falls hundreds of feet to his demise. Like I said, I don’t like to see these kinds of things so I’ve never tried to find this video, but the circumstances behind it has stuck with me for years. Was this real? It was so quick. Was it staged or edited? Who was he? Surely he didn’t survive, did he? Where did it take place? When? I think you’d be the perfect channel to dig up some info about this event. It would fit nicely into your disturbing videos compilation series. If it’s real, that is. Anyway, I hope you can find out more about this terrible video, and maybe decide to shed some light on the events in an upcoming video. Thanks for all the great content!
I dont undertand why they release these monsters and why their sentences aren’t reflective of how likely they are to reoffend. Like bro if they are gonna do it again why risk public safety for someone who has already proven themselves to destroy lives? Makes no sense 🙄
Yeah, walking is no good. If for whatever stupid reason they had no other choice than to cut him loose, a couple of smashed kneecaps would have at least slowed him down.
@@darius5066well, at least for the ones that are actually guilty. There are some ppl in jail/prison that are innocent of that charge; which just makes it harder to figure out who's who. Like if there's ironclad evidence, throw away the key. But I've known ppl myself that have ended up in that position because a grimy person used it as a revenge tactic.
There was a serial killer who claimed emotional damages because his last(and surviving) victim beat him at his own mind games. I still haven’t been able to understand that defense.
It ain't the first time. Roman Polanski, who at the time was dating Angelica Huston, lured a 13 year old into his ski home under guise of a second photoshoot (the first he'd asked be a topless one) then R-ed her for hours with angelica coming home during. Upon being arrested his parole officer said he wasn't a pedo and that it was the girl and her mother's fault for allowing this to happen. The media agreed that she had seduced HIM and that she was a disgruntled girl that wanted money and is just mad that he didn't give it. That she "got around" because she admitted to having a boyfriend. AND when he was detained petitions were signed by over 160 people working in the industry including Guillermo del Toro 💀
Pretty sure thats just speculation, not like there was anyone else in the house. Its an assumption based on Anna having gone to his house to play with the cats before
You mean to tell me that a 7-year-old, a 2nd grade *child*, had the mental capacity to not only seduce a middle-aged man but also attempt to blackmail him for money? Seriously, these kinds of monsters deserve to rot at the bottom of a well of hot tar. It's such a tragedy that Anne suffered (my mistake-) terribly both in life and death.
I hope Aaliyah is resting peacefully. She truly had the voice of an angel. She survived a predator only to be taken too soon on a flight she was scared to get on. Who knows what art she would have given us had she lived.
Why even release someone from prison if they’re “very likely to reoffend”? If they had kept him locked up like he deserved, Dru would have been alive. I don’t get it.
Because they completed their sentence . You can’t hold people in prison longer than they were sentanced for . Blame the judge or the sentencing guide lines if you think he should have got a life sentance for his first crime . But the government shouldn’t be able to hold someone indefinitely just because they think they might reoffend . That would open up a new can of worms .
@JoeRogansForehead This is an unfortunate fact. I guess the only solution would be to up the sentencing on violent SA-related crimes, as those types seem to reoffend at a higher rate, and escalate the severity with each crime committed. I feel like a ‘two-strikes then life’ rule for violent SA sounds reasonable and would simultaneously give the perpetrator benefit of the doubt in the off-chance that they are innocent, but also potentially save countless lives in the future
@@JoeRogansForeheadI think they should. Sex crimes don’t typically respond to treatment or punishment. For some circumstances, I think it’s way more ethical to hold someone than wait for them to reoffend. Though yes, best course in the long term would be making certain sex crimes an automatic life sentence with no chance at parole.
I read that the odds of being fatally shot running away from your attempted kidnapper is about 6%. Those odds are *WAY* better than getting in the car.
No matter what weapon or what the criminal is saying. You fight and run for your life period. Your chances of survival decreases rapidly if you're obedient.
And if you're being held at gunpoint while you're driving your car, get into a car accident. You're more likely to survive a car crash, while your abductor isn't, or at least you'll call attention to yourself and knock the two of you unconscious.
@@Kaboomboothis. I remember hearing one story about a woman who was being held at knifepoint in her car and she luckily saw a policeman directing traffic or something and drove towards the officer like she was going to hit him, of course didn't, but it got his attention and she was saved without being harmed IIRC
Yes, said it exactly right. I tell all my friends and family this, especially the females. But over something that will likely never happen, once can't kill the fun of the moment, so I have to bring it up cleverly.
@@TheNightmareAngelYT What he's saying is, the person is going to die anyway, almost certainly. Better to take chances in society where murderers can't hide... than to arrive in a room prepared for years by a torturous murderer.
Lmao finally a decent dig at sponsers & ads. I hate the update they did to UA-cam recently making it harder to avoid cramming ads down our throats. Figured out a way but still very annoyed.
@@HappyBeezerStudiosdefinitely, i accidentally sprayed parfum in my eye once and that shit burns like hell lmao, my eye was still irritated after some hours and washing my eye out with water. if it would hit someone in both eyes they definitely wouldn't be able to open their eyes and properly see for at least a minute.
Yeah…my father and his plane disappeared due to “get-there-itis.” He was making his way home on a months-long, multiple leg flight from Georgie to Alaska. Texted me his “see you soon!”s just before taking off from Cordova, what would’ve been his last stop before making it home. It’s been ten years and hundreds of man hours of searching now, yet he still hasn’t been found. Best guess is he attempted emergency landing on a glacier or crashed in the mudflats along the coast. He was warned about adverse conditions and bad weather by another pilot traveling the opposite direction, but…he just wanted to get home finally. Miss you, Dad 💙
I can't even begin to imagine how haunting those last arguments were for Marianne. She avenged her girl, but up until her death, the last talk they'd had together, had been an argument. That her little girl wouldn't even have her mother's kind words as her last comforting thoughts as that beast brutalized and violated her.
@@Eli_James if I had a child and I found out someone did anything even close to what that monster did to Anna they’d be scraping his brain matter off the fucking floor
The courts get the DA to prosecute her for making a mockery out of their justice system. Meanwhile, the courts themselves are a mockery for releasing every rapist/murderer back into civilized society. (Looks at first case in the video) Ohh, what do we have here?!?....
Get-there-itis almost killed me once. I fell asleep driving instead of pulling over to nap because i had an appointment. I woke up in the other lane with a car barelling towards me honking at me. Fortunately i swerved away in time. The adrenaline rush actually gave me enough energy to get back, at that point i wasn't falling asleep...but remember, no appointment is worth your life.
Not me but reminds me of a tragic incident of a friend who fell asleep on the m1, and crashed into the central reservation and the car blew up, he sadly didn't survive definitely don't drive never drive tired
never trust your tired self. my mum almost crashed after falling asleep at the wheel coming home from a 16hr shift. similarly, someone honked at her and it made her wake up to swerve + hit the breaks. she never drove while tired again
Tbh you still should have pulled over and rested. Even if you didn’t still feel tired it still impairs your driving. The best thing to remember about this is driving tired is equally as impaired as driving drunk. In addition both are equally illegal as well.
get-there-itis took the life of a dear friend of mine and one of his friends in 2019. the driver of their car was sober but very tired after the trio’s long day volunteering at church. he fell asleep at the wheel, crashing and killing the two teenage boys in the car. i’m sure he regrets not pulling over to sleep or finding other accommodations for the night, and it’s struck with me since
It sickens me when a predator tells people that the victim was trying to seduce them. What 7 year old knows what that is or means? So so glad the mother did what she did. Who knows, he may have gotten out of jail and did that to another child. Her passing at such a young age was probably due to stress and guilt. I hope both her and her daughter are resting in peace.
My 10 year old niece was Rd and got pregnant by a predator who came to the house to do maintenance work. He told the judge SHE seduced him. It was disgusting. He got 10 years.
Honestly good for Marianne. Glad they didn't give her a long sentence. Should've thanked her for saving them time and money, takin out the trash as quick as she did.
I can count on one hand the amount of people I've read about who were let go after being kidnapped. Being threatened to get inside a vehicle with a weapon is very much just a movie trope, and I wish more people knew this. In reality the criminals don't have the leverage they think they do, so attempting to flee or fight is the most viable option in that situation.
Seriously! Do it here, I'm not going to whatever special room you have in your basement, and I ain't meeting your friends, either! And *forget* digging my own grave! Do your own yard work, I ain't dying sweaty!
Any parent who loses a child to the hands of another person at least thinks of doing what Marianne did. Can't imagine the thoughts running through her head.
@@trash_bender420You do realize all of the claims of her being drugged and a “nervous flier” come from one book that only provides allegations with zero proof.
@@ItsJustCartierExactly, for all we know she could have been a total diva demanding they take all her luggage on the flight. Who knows but I can guess which story is more likely
@@custardgannet4836 agreed. it sounds more likely someone on her team offered her a xanax or pill that'll take the edge off flying she took willingly rather then straight up drugging her and having to drag her body to the plane. Seriously who drugs their boss and main star to be forced on the plane, they'll get in massive trouble and fired
I'm typically not pro-vigilante justice, but as humans we typically have an unbreakable bond with our children and a fierce protectiveness of them that is hard wired into us. Anyone who messes with that is asking for something bad to happen to them. I get why Marianne did what she did. It reminds me of the Gary Plauche case. Again, I'm not necessarily pro-vigilante, but pedophines/child murderers are some of the worst people society has to offer, so I can't exactly say I'm surprised that people like Marianne and Gary are regarded by some as folk heroes.
It's one of those things where I understand the condemnation of vigilante justice, but also the guy that says "It's actually okay that I murdered this kid, she was blackmailing me for being a pedophile" maybe is getting what he deserves too.
@@brad1426The way I often look at is I ask myself what good would realistically come from putting someone in prison for killing their kid's rapist/murderer? If the kid is alive it just means that in addition to the trauma they already have they also lose a parent. It's not like these people are a danger to society at large, they just won't stand for someone hurting their children.
@@danidavis7912 There is a lot wrong with revenge. The first thing is that it's not just those who have good morals who are capable of taking revenge. In fact, it's usually the opposite kind of person doing it. Not to mention that both individuals and mobs are not the best (fairest) judges, which is the whole reason we have courts. While I don't mind the mother avenging her daughter, not in this scenario, I also don't thing vigilantism should be a widespread practice.
I will always miss Aaliyah. She was so much smarter than all those people around her, even at 22. Sometimes being smart around stupid people gets you killed.
That’s only if the speculation covered in this video are true. There has been people who said she was having a diva meltdown and wanted to go home now and wanted all her equipment loaded. So it’s only speculation because everyone who knows the truth is dead. But they did say she was acting like a diva on Queen of the damned set so it’s possible she is at fault for pushing to go immediately. We will never really know
@@RyanSmith6644Except her throwing a so called “diva fit” makes absolutely no sense. She was beyond terrified of flying in a normal plane, much less one that tiny. Why would she have demanded to overcrowd that tiny plane, knowing that it would be unsafe (pilot even said so), if she was deathly afraid of flying? She wouldn’t have gone near that thing with a 200000 yard pole regardless. I fully believe her entourage pressured her into getting on the plane, whether by drugging her or not. Just because she maybe acted in a bratty way before doesn’t mean she acted like it here. I believe the only reason she may have acted “bratty” in this scenario is to try to get everyone else to wait for a safer alternative, and I wouldn’t even call that bratty; I’d call that being smart and righteously frustrated and scared.
A murderer hiding out in a massive zoo while being hunted sounds so insane that it's hard to believe it actually happened. It's like something out of a movie, or a Stephen King book.
I’m from the same area in Australia. The story was crazy, he was all over the place for 7 years, with sighting popping up every few months, living under peoples houses and stuff.
23:56 I had to pause and rewind that part because I was shocked that Anna’s killer had the nerve to claim that an eight year old made advances on him and think that it would somehow be a legit defense …….😮 like what!!??? I think that probably was the trigger that pushed the mom to kill him.
Yep, it absolutely was, she said it was. The man was previously convicted paedophile who had been chemically castrated so he took his frustration on to the little girl.
Yeah... Like, it's more orderly and "fair" to all parties to let the law take its course, but I've got zero blame for a mom not wanting to sit around and let Mr. Murder Rapist blame her daughter for forcing, just forcing! him to murder rape her.
I never knew the full circumstances of Aaliyah's death (I just knew that the plane had been overloaded), but if that story of her being slipped a sedative was true, then that makes the whole thing worse considering what R Kelly did to her.
I had a crush on Aliyah when I was 12. So sad. You should also look into what happend to Left Eye from TLC. The events leading up to her death were outright ominous. She spent time in Honduras to do some soul searching and try and rebalance her life after an allegedly abusive relationship and mental health issues. She filmed this trip which was made into a documentary. About 2 weeks before the car accident which resulted in her death she was a passenger during an accident that took the life of a 10 year old Honduran boy. She claimed to be haunted by an ominous presence for the next couple weeks until the accident that ultimately killed her. Another sad tradgedy and spooky as hell to boot.
Such a sad story. I discovered her music a few months ago. Then I checked why she stopped making music and read about what had happened to her. Thanks for the support!
The Aaliyah one always makes me reconsider how desperately I want to get somewhere on time. It's so sad, she was on the rise bigtime when it happened, she's only a couple of years older than me, and at that time was a big fan of her music, I can't imagine all of the stuff she would have done if this hadn't happened. What makes it worse is what a genuine nice person she was, there was no facade, and that she'd allegedly said she had bad feelings about getting on the plane to go out there to begin with. RIP a legend.
Worst thing is she was forced into going to the plane she wanted to wait for a bigger one and wait one more hour , I blame her team they failed her and themselves 💔
"get-there-itis" also claimed the helicopter pilot that flew the famous Basketball Player Kobe Bryant. The pilot took off in fog and should have canceled. Instead he did the flight and crashed
My family is very close to Dru’s we live very close by to her mother Linda, she is such a nice lady and I absolutely feel terrible for what she went through and still goes through.
I remember watching a documentary about Aaliyah shortly after her death in the early 2000s and the way they depicted her and RKelly's "marriage was "Oh it was young love" and they were "so in love" and now, looking back on that depiction I cannot help but see how the entertainment industry enabled RKelly.
In cases like that of Anna, I 100% believe parents should be able to do as they please with someone who's hurt their child - so long as there is irrefutable evidence that harm was done.
The fact a Level 3 SO was even allowed out in public in the first place, instead of rotting in a fkn cell for the rest of their life, proves how much of a joke & failure our "Justice System" is.
Everytime I see that footage with the fog completely enveloping the helicopter, I just feel that dread and anxiety. It was so avoidable. Same with Aaliyah and her crew. 'get-there-itis' indeed :( Piloting is such an important job, I wish those two pilots had put their foot down and said "No way! Here's your money back."
i know. great right? if your gonna think your so awesome people will want you to show up in a helicopter while being forced to waste a day for you when they could be doing anything else then yea enjoy the flames its has to be relaxing to know your going directly to satan at no more then 25 mph
Parole Board: Level 3, sure to reoffend or escalate. Also Parole Board: Let him go! We need to start jailing parole boards-or better yet eliminate them and replace them with a jury. Thank you Lazy for saying never go with them. It’s 100 % correct. Die where you stand if the other choice is go with them. Most likely they won’t actually go through with the threat if you resist.
@@desensitizedanalyser5624 Except the odds of a level 3 reoffending are much higher than the odds of a terrorist attack occurring... How anyone can consider this to be less bad is beyond me.
@raerohan4241 I'm just sick and tired of people treating pedophiles far FAR worse then a murderer, or an ind Infamous con man. I'm sorry, but it's crimes like that that make me want to do the grousome acts that you guys comment to pedophiles. However, to me, I just don't care about pedophiles or crimes involving them.
I’m from Grand Forks, ND. Dru’s murder is still at the forefront of my hometown. Her murder is still brought up whenever anyone in the community has a similar experience of being followed in parking lots or stocked in local stores. What’s scary is it happens often. I was followed to my car by a group of men in our sister town, East Grand Forks, MN. What seemed to caught one of the men off guard is I turned around and got a good look at him before I got into my vehicle and locked my doors right away. When that monster’s sentencing was reduced to life in prison it made everyone here so angry for Dru and her family. May she rest peacefully.
As a pilot myself, stories like that break my heart. Let’s be safe fellow aviators! Also: there are a lot of videos like that helicopter one. Some older than others, none any easier to watch. Take offs are never mandatory. Landings are.
@@filmtheory783 if you take off in a plane, you HAVE TO land. The plane has to come down and land on the ground eventually. There is NEVER a situation where a plane HAS to take off. Like yea airlines and schedules and stuff, but at the end of the day, the plane does not have to start up and take off. The safest pilots take all the safety precautions and what have you to make sure that once they take off, they can land too. If there are thunderstorms popping up in the area, that could potentially be something that could pose a problem. So I may elect to not take off depending on how stuff goes.
I'm very happy that you are so vocal with your advice to potential kidnapping victims. A kidnap victim is always sure to be a victim of another crime once the abduction is successful! Better to face the danger right up front.
Aaliyah’s story is so sad. She and the pilot were worried about flying in the plane with it so overloaded. If only they had refused her crew’s insistence on continuing the trip. Such a sad ending
8:38 you are a God send for telling people to do whatever they can to not get taken to place B. People need to know this, you are potentially saving lives. Thank you Lazy❤ this is why I love your content.
Speaking as someone who was just a couple years younger than Aaliyah when she died, it's honestly really difficult to put how much that hit my generation for anyone nowadays. It was such a huge "you remember where you were when you heard" moment.
Yup I made a similar comment. Just like 9/11, it's embedded into my brain so vividly. Whenever I hear her name I'm rushed back to that moment and all the feels that day invoked.
Not for me. I hardly knew anything about her and STILL hardly know anything about her. Mostly what I know of her is the crash. Even though I don't know her music I am very regretful that she died so young. As with anyone that happens to
You're my favorite true crime/mystery UA-camr. You're respectful to those effected by the cases and you have a good, creepy style presentation. It reminds me of when I was a kid and loved watching reruns of Unsolved Mysteries.
@@tylertheguy3160 I’ve lived on this planet over half a century. While there’s always more to learn, I’ve been paying attention thus far. I’m not brainwashed- (which requires a lot of effort). I don’t claim to have it all figured out, but I know what this world is. My eyes are open.
My mom was a juror on the dru sjodin case! Alfonso Rodrigues is the only person in North Dakota still on death row to this day. I had to be walked to my car at every job I ever had because of this case.
Poor Dru Sjodin, I remember this case, because I live in Minnesota and have family in Crookston. Never let anyone take you to a second location, this scum bags purpose wasn’t to kill her, but to take advantage of her. Highly likely he wouldn’t have just killed her in the parking lot, but I also understand how scared she must have been.
He’s one of the best. I’ve been subbed to him since late 2016 he’s easily one of the best cuz of his content and voice. Truly he always makes great content.
😂I totally agree, but I always feel bad for thinking it. Like "Sweet! A new Lazy video! I can't wait to see what awful and disturbing things happened to someone".
Thank you for talking about Dru Sjodin. I was born in ND and have lived here most of my life, and that story really affected people in the state. Love your videos.
@@adrielsebastian5216 Well, in this case, maybe not, because I think this latest one was his first murder. If I'm not mistaken. So I could be wrong this time. Fair, fair. 🫱🫲
@@bentonrpyes it was his first kill, however seeing as he was previously jailed for aggravated kidnapping and multiple rape charges his high-risk should have been accounted for. he was so likely to escalate the violence, and he did
How these things get out of prison is sickening! They put people away for life for drugs and other much less violent crimes in the US but yet they let child predators out and even protect them while in prison. I’ve never heard an explanation for this.
I remember watching the video of Marianne getting her revenge, and I honestly appreciate how no one stopped her until she had fired a few targets. & she also should've not been arrested for as long imo, just because it's hard to loose a child who was just 7 years old. I don't even know what the feeling is, but I know it would've hurt Marianne so much.
Your statement regarding the fragility of life is spot on. Cherish, love and honor each other, people, because we are not promised tomorrow and every second could be your last. ❤
I absolutely love what you said about not letting someone force you into their vehicle. Words to live by, as far as I'm concerned. Scream, fight, kick, scratch. If it's a male, kick him in the 🍇! You'll have a high chance to survive then if you go with them.
That mother doing even 2 years pisses me off. I hope her prison time was at least relatively non eventful, and that she was able to find work upon release and live out life as comfortably as possible.
Just the mention of Aaliyah sends shivers down my spine. I loved her and dreamed about dancing with her when I got old enough. However, I don’t believe she could’ve been sedated to the point of unconsciousness because she suffered a heart attack as the plane crashed which most believe resulted in her death not solely the accident.
He's right.. if you're going to die die fighting.. If you go with them anywhere you will die. They will kill you. Sometimes you might have to play their game. You'll have to gauge that for yourself. But do not go anywhere with them. Fight. You still might die but chances are better for you not dying.. not being silenced if you literally fight for your life. Be safe everyone.
If the last photo of Aaliyah was taken from outside the plane, which is what it looks like, she hardly appears sedated to the point of having to be carried onto the plane…not that it makes her any more responsible for the tragedy; it doesn’t. It simply calls BS on the story.
It was taken by a fan on the inbound flight, 2 days prior - but often gets mistakenly circulated as ‘the last photo’ of her - looked it up on Wikipedia.
Someone said she was afraid of flying, so I'd bet she willing took the sedative to keep her from having to be scared while flying. I mean what proof do they have that she was drugged.
Wow, Lazy Masquerade, this video is both chilling and thought-provoking. It's haunting to see how seemingly ordinary moments can turn into tragic and disturbing stories. The segments on Drew Shadin and Aaliyah were particularly unsettling, reminding us of the fragility of life. Your storytelling and research are top-notch, as always. Keep up the great work, and thank you for sharing these intriguing yet sobering tales.
Hearing Dubbo mentioned is so trippy as a local. The Malcolm Naden case was one of the biggest as I was growing up, I remember everyone being so aware about where he might be hiding out. Never did we think it would be at the Zoo. Great video as always Lazy and thank you for being respectful of the victims 🩵
Marianne did nothing wrong, idc. She should have been a better mom to Anna while she was alive but she did well to get back for her after her cruel death.
Seeing people praise her honestly is just insane to me. She failed and neglected her child until death, and she's revered because she took acyion after the fact? Perhaps she stopped that man from harming another kid, but it doesn't bring back the one she had lost, nor does it give her the childhood she deserved that she never had in life.
If you’re classified as “highly likely to reoffend”, your only options should never being able to leave prison, or being led into a soundproof room with a drain on the floor by a guard with a 9mm
Why do they let a convicted offender out of prison when they were certain he will re-offend?! This is so INFURIATING! An innocent woman lost her life in a horrible way because of BS laws like this...
I was a huge Aaliyah fan when she was becoming an icon. It was so sad, to see so much a talented woman taken out far too soon. 11:03 When showing off goes wrong…really? Weddings are highly overrated
A shame that 8th shot missed. No amount of bullets was enough for the monster that took Marianne’s daughter from her. I hope that she and Anne are together again and at peace now.
That guy in the zoo is so nuts??? He lived and hid in a zoo for 5 years?? I wonder why they didn’t do a surprise raid style on the whole zoo, if they knew he was in there. That whole story sounds made up it’s crazy
I absolutely love that you tell people not to give up and let someone take you. If they are willing to do that in public, think about what they have in store for you in private...
So they deemed that first guy highly likely to reoffend again and they let him out anyways? That’s appalling. Whom ever made that shitty decision is just as responsible for Dru’s death. Disgusting. This justice system is a joke.
I’ve been following you for about 6-7 years, and I still watch every single video with excitement! Thank you for the ironic work you do, “Lazy”, I admire your dedication to this genre of entertainment
Another thing in the bachmeier story,the Grabowski was a known sex offender and had already served time. He voluntarily submitted to chemical castration and afterwards found a doctor to give him hormone treatment to reverse it. Marianne is an absolute badass
The Mother daughter case is conflicting to me. If Marianne had actually been a mother to her poor girl, this wouldn’t have happened. At the same time, Marianne clearly experienced abuse/neglect during her childhood. The cycle of abuse is real and we need to better educated parents on how to care for themselves so they can care for their children
The way I see it she totally redeemed herself, almost like it was actually supposed to be an act of redemption for how bad of a mother she was to her. And despite how bad she was, the fact that she did what she did proves to me she cared for her daughter more than most and I'd easily call her a hero
I totally love all your vids! You started as a Scary True Story Narrator when there weren't many narrators for the subject. You helped a tired mom be able to finally sleep. I appreciate all the work you do! Would you ever do true scary stories again? I've rewatched all the true scary stories you have, but I almost have them all memorized. 😅
Never let anyone take you from point A to point B no matter what!! Not even if they have a weapon. Run! Scream! Fight! Because if you go with the perpetrator your chance of survival drops to 0. Great video and great advice in this video. Thank you!
That never go to a 2nd locacataion video really stuck to me. Lazy isn't wrong though. Even if you're at the wrong end of w-pen. Run Run Run. Still gives me chills to think of being in a simple situation
It’s very unfortunate that Anna’s mom couldn’t have been a good mother while her daughter was still alive. Good for her for at the very least avenging her daughter after death.
Can't imagine how the bride's husband must've felt when hearing the news. He was almost certainly in denial as he wasn't aware she was taking a heli, only to later see the wreckage and realize a surprise act from his soon to be wife led to her death.

Hey Lazy! Love your videos. Big fan. One request though:
I don’t normally seek these types of videos out, but a couple years ago I caught a brief glimpse of a video that has stuck with me ever since. I’ve always wondered if it was real or staged somehow. I think it was actually a .gif, but I’m not positive.
The video was of a young man on a skyscraper - I think his friend was filming him walk along the ledge - when suddenly the man’s foot slips and he falls hundreds of feet to his demise.
Like I said, I don’t like to see these kinds of things so I’ve never tried to find this video, but the circumstances behind it has stuck with me for years. Was this real? It was so quick. Was it staged or edited? Who was he? Surely he didn’t survive, did he? Where did it take place? When?
I think you’d be the perfect channel to dig up some info about this event. It would fit nicely into your disturbing videos compilation series. If it’s real, that is.
Anyway, I hope you can find out more about this terrible video, and maybe decide to shed some light on the events in an upcoming video.
Thanks for all the great content!
Aaliyah........ Ah-lee-ah. .......... Idk what you calm yourself pronouncing 😅
"Highly likely to re-offend" and yet he's walking free..... And obviously did it again. What a shock.
Yeah, the decision to release him made no sense to me.. and I'm not even that smart of a person.
this is the equivalent of the Goofy meme "I'll fucking do it again"
Once you reach lvl 3 of highly likely to re-offend, i dont think being released should even be an option
I dont undertand why they release these monsters and why their sentences aren’t reflective of how likely they are to reoffend. Like bro if they are gonna do it again why risk public safety for someone who has already proven themselves to destroy lives? Makes no sense 🙄
And I mean... Just look at him for Christ's sake. That dead stare would freak me out even if the man was a cashier, let alone knowing he's a criminal!

Ahh okay. When you said 2023 I was like "wait, hol' up."
There is absolutely no reason the level 3 sex offender should have been allowed to walk out of prison to begin with..
Yeah, walking is no good. If for whatever stupid reason they had no other choice than to cut him loose, a couple of smashed kneecaps would have at least slowed him down.
There is no reason ANY sex offender should be allowed out of prison.
Why are they still alive is my question.
Whoever let him out should be imprisoned for life.
@@darius5066well, at least for the ones that are actually guilty. There are some ppl in jail/prison that are innocent of that charge; which just makes it harder to figure out who's who. Like if there's ironclad evidence, throw away the key. But I've known ppl myself that have ended up in that position because a grimy person used it as a revenge tactic.
I have heard some dumb defences from criminals, but "a 7-year-old seduced me and tried to blackmail me" has to take the gold medal of idiocy.
There was a serial killer who claimed emotional damages because his last(and surviving) victim beat him at his own mind games. I still haven’t been able to understand that defense.
Agreed, a truly terrible defense. However I thought the mother and her Beretta were simply brilliant on the cross examination.
@@faerierain7536This is wild! Do you remember his name?
@@faerierain7536seriously?? Who was that?
It ain't the first time. Roman Polanski, who at the time was dating Angelica Huston, lured a 13 year old into his ski home under guise of a second photoshoot (the first he'd asked be a topless one) then R-ed her for hours with angelica coming home during.
Upon being arrested his parole officer said he wasn't a pedo and that it was the girl and her mother's fault for allowing this to happen. The media agreed that she had seduced HIM and that she was a disgruntled girl that wanted money and is just mad that he didn't give it. That she "got around" because she admitted to having a boyfriend. AND when he was detained petitions were signed by over 160 people working in the industry including Guillermo del Toro 💀
the fact that he lured anna into his apartment by saying “i have cats, do you want to play with them?” actually made my heart sink to my feet
Pretty sure thats just speculation, not like there was anyone else in the house. Its an assumption based on Anna having gone to his house to play with the cats before

Maybe if she’d had a real mother, she would have known better.

I hope Aaliyah is resting peacefully. She truly had the voice of an angel. She survived a predator only to be taken too soon on a flight she was scared to get on. Who knows what art she would have given us had she lived.
Too bad she had shitty people around her. They killed her by forcing themselves onto the plane.

I can't believe courts will list somebody as "very likely to reoffend" and then just be like lol you're released
Why even release someone from prison if they’re “very likely to reoffend”? If they had kept him locked up like he deserved, Dru would have been alive. I don’t get it.
It's part of the American constitution. Change it and you'll start a civil war. go figure
Neither do any of us. And it gets worse all the time. It's like some in charge are brain dead. Or maybe the lizards really HAVE infiltrated us...😢🙄
Because they completed their sentence . You can’t hold people in prison longer than they were sentanced for . Blame the judge or the sentencing guide lines if you think he should have got a life sentance for his first crime . But the government shouldn’t be able to hold someone indefinitely just because they think they might reoffend . That would open up a new can of worms .
@JoeRogansForehead
This is an unfortunate fact. I guess the only solution would be to up the sentencing on violent SA-related crimes, as those types seem to reoffend at a higher rate, and escalate the severity with each crime committed. I feel like a ‘two-strikes then life’ rule for violent SA sounds reasonable and would simultaneously give the perpetrator benefit of the doubt in the off-chance that they are innocent, but also potentially save countless lives in the future
@@JoeRogansForeheadI think they should. Sex crimes don’t typically respond to treatment or punishment. For some circumstances, I think it’s way more ethical to hold someone than wait for them to reoffend. Though yes, best course in the long term would be making certain sex crimes an automatic life sentence with no chance at parole.
I read that the odds of being fatally shot running away from your attempted kidnapper is about 6%. Those odds are *WAY* better than getting in the car.
And every step you take makes you that much more difficult to hit even if they do shoot.
No matter what weapon or what the criminal is saying. You fight and run for your life period. Your chances of survival decreases rapidly if you're obedient.
And if you're being held at gunpoint while you're driving your car, get into a car accident. You're more likely to survive a car crash, while your abductor isn't, or at least you'll call attention to yourself and knock the two of you unconscious.
@@Kaboomboothis. I remember hearing one story about a woman who was being held at knifepoint in her car and she luckily saw a policeman directing traffic or something and drove towards the officer like she was going to hit him, of course didn't, but it got his attention and she was saved without being harmed IIRC

It’s been ten years and hundreds of man hours of searching now, yet he still hasn’t been found. Best guess is he attempted emergency landing on a glacier or crashed in the mudflats along the coast. He was warned about adverse conditions and bad weather by another pilot traveling the opposite direction, but…he just wanted to get home finally. Miss you, Dad 💙

That her little girl wouldn't even have her mother's kind words as her last comforting thoughts as that beast brutalized and violated her.

Get-there-itis almost killed me once. I fell asleep driving instead of pulling over to nap because i had an appointment. I woke up in the other lane with a car barelling towards me honking at me. Fortunately i swerved away in time. The adrenaline rush actually gave me enough energy to get back, at that point i wasn't falling asleep...but remember, no appointment is worth your life.
Not me but reminds me of a tragic incident of a friend who fell asleep on the m1, and crashed into the central reservation and the car blew up, he sadly didn't survive definitely don't drive never drive tired
never trust your tired self. my mum almost crashed after falling asleep at the wheel coming home from a 16hr shift. similarly, someone honked at her and it made her wake up to swerve + hit the breaks. she never drove while tired again
What I always tell my family and friends is that ''it's better to be late than the late"
Tbh you still should have pulled over and rested. Even if you didn’t still feel tired it still impairs your driving. The best thing to remember about this is driving tired is equally as impaired as driving drunk. In addition both are equally illegal as well.
get-there-itis took the life of a dear friend of mine and one of his friends in 2019. the driver of their car was sober but very tired after the trio’s long day volunteering at church. he fell asleep at the wheel, crashing and killing the two teenage boys in the car. i’m sure he regrets not pulling over to sleep or finding other accommodations for the night, and it’s struck with me since
It sickens me when a predator tells people that the victim was trying to seduce them. What 7 year old knows what that is or means? So so glad the mother did what she did. Who knows, he may have gotten out of jail and did that to another child. Her passing at such a young age was probably due to stress and guilt. I hope both her and her daughter are resting in peace.
She died from pancreatic cancer so stress and guilt wasn't the cause
@@adlilzafri2322 Stress and guilty feelings can cause cancer. Seriously, stress is a killer.

Honestly good for Marianne. Glad they didn't give her a long sentence. Should've thanked her for saving them time and money, takin out the trash as quick as she did.
Yep. I won’t condone vigilantism outright in any form. But in that case you won’t hear a peep of judge or protest out of me either.
I can count on one hand the amount of people I've read about who were let go after being kidnapped. Being threatened to get inside a vehicle with a weapon is very much just a movie trope, and I wish more people knew this. In reality the criminals don't have the leverage they think they do, so attempting to flee or fight is the most viable option in that situation.
Seriously! Do it here, I'm not going to whatever special room you have in your basement, and I ain't meeting your friends, either!
And *forget* digging my own grave! Do your own yard work, I ain't dying sweaty!
Any parent who loses a child to the hands of another person at least thinks of doing what Marianne did. Can't imagine the thoughts running through her head.

@@trash_bender420You do realize all of the claims of her being drugged and a “nervous flier” come from one book that only provides allegations with zero proof.
@@ItsJustCartierExactly, for all we know she could have been a total diva demanding they take all her luggage on the flight. Who knows but I can guess which story is more likely
@@custardgannet4836 agreed. it sounds more likely someone on her team offered her a xanax or pill that'll take the edge off flying she took willingly rather then straight up drugging her and having to drag her body to the plane. Seriously who drugs their boss and main star to be forced on the plane, they'll get in massive trouble and fired
She wanted to get home asap too. They shouldn't have overloaded the plane and the pilot had cocaine and expired license
I'm typically not pro-vigilante justice, but as humans we typically have an unbreakable bond with our children and a fierce protectiveness of them that is hard wired into us. Anyone who messes with that is asking for something bad to happen to them. I get why Marianne did what she did. It reminds me of the Gary Plauche case. Again, I'm not necessarily pro-vigilante, but pedophines/child murderers are some of the worst people society has to offer, so I can't exactly say I'm surprised that people like Marianne and Gary are regarded by some as folk heroes.
It's one of those things where I understand the condemnation of vigilante justice, but also the guy that says "It's actually okay that I murdered this kid, she was blackmailing me for being a pedophile" maybe is getting what he deserves too.
@@brad1426The way I often look at is I ask myself what good would realistically come from putting someone in prison for killing their kid's rapist/murderer? If the kid is alive it just means that in addition to the trauma they already have they also lose a parent. It's not like these people are a danger to society at large, they just won't stand for someone hurting their children.
Yeah it's one of those, "I don't like it, but I understand" situations
There's absolutely nothing wrong with revenge. We need more of it.
@@danidavis7912 There is a lot wrong with revenge. The first thing is that it's not just those who have good morals who are capable of taking revenge. In fact, it's usually the opposite kind of person doing it. Not to mention that both individuals and mobs are not the best (fairest) judges, which is the whole reason we have courts. While I don't mind the mother avenging her daughter, not in this scenario, I also don't thing vigilantism should be a widespread practice.
I will always miss Aaliyah. She was so much smarter than all those people around her, even at 22. Sometimes being smart around stupid people gets you killed.
That’s only if the speculation covered in this video are true. There has been people who said she was having a diva meltdown and wanted to go home now and wanted all her equipment loaded. So it’s only speculation because everyone who knows the truth is dead. But they did say she was acting like a diva on Queen of the damned set so it’s possible she is at fault for pushing to go immediately. We will never really know
@@RyanSmith6644Except her throwing a so called “diva fit” makes absolutely no sense. She was beyond terrified of flying in a normal plane, much less one that tiny. Why would she have demanded to overcrowd that tiny plane, knowing that it would be unsafe (pilot even said so), if she was deathly afraid of flying? She wouldn’t have gone near that thing with a 200000 yard pole regardless. I fully believe her entourage pressured her into getting on the plane, whether by drugging her or not.
Just because she maybe acted in a bratty way before doesn’t mean she acted like it here. I believe the only reason she may have acted “bratty” in this scenario is to try to get everyone else to wait for a safer alternative, and I wouldn’t even call that bratty; I’d call that being smart and righteously frustrated and scared.
Stealing bananas from elephants is a bridge too far
And I don’t even want to think about that poor tortoise.
"He's likely to re-offend. Better let him back out to the public and wait for him to hurt someone again!"

Yep, it absolutely was, she said it was. The man was previously convicted paedophile who had been chemically castrated so he took his frustration on to the little girl.
Yeah... Like, it's more orderly and "fair" to all parties to let the law take its course, but I've got zero blame for a mom not wanting to sit around and let Mr. Murder Rapist blame her daughter for forcing, just forcing! him to murder rape her.

If Lazy ever did a coverage on R Kelly's real-life horror show, it would be pretty chilling.

I had a crush on Aliyah when I was 12. So sad. You should also look into what happend to Left Eye from TLC. The events leading up to her death were outright ominous. She spent time in Honduras to do some soul searching and try and rebalance her life after an allegedly abusive relationship and mental health issues. She filmed this trip which was made into a documentary. About 2 weeks before the car accident which resulted in her death she was a passenger during an accident that took the life of a 10 year old Honduran boy. She claimed to be haunted by an ominous presence for the next couple weeks until the accident that ultimately killed her. Another sad tradgedy and spooky as hell to boot.
Her death is on UA-cam, her own recording
Thank you for including Aaliyah here. I didn't realize how much I still miss her. ❤️🔥
Such a sad story. I discovered her music a few months ago. Then I checked why she stopped making music and read about what had happened to her. Thanks for the support!
The Aaliyah one always makes me reconsider how desperately I want to get somewhere on time. It's so sad, she was on the rise bigtime when it happened, she's only a couple of years older than me, and at that time was a big fan of her music, I can't imagine all of the stuff she would have done if this hadn't happened. What makes it worse is what a genuine nice person she was, there was no facade, and that she'd allegedly said she had bad feelings about getting on the plane to go out there to begin with. RIP a legend.

"get-there-itis" also claimed the helicopter pilot that flew the famous Basketball Player Kobe Bryant. The pilot took off in fog and should have canceled. Instead he did the flight and crashed
My family is very close to Dru’s we live very close by to her mother Linda, she is such a nice lady and I absolutely feel terrible for what she went through and still goes through.
I remember watching a documentary about Aaliyah shortly after her death in the early 2000s and the way they depicted her and RKelly's "marriage was "Oh it was young love" and they were "so in love" and now, looking back on that depiction I cannot help but see how the entertainment industry enabled RKelly.
Let’s not forget her parents just let their 15 year old child go with a grown man. They pimped her out
In cases like that of Anna, I 100% believe parents should be able to do as they please with someone who's hurt their child - so long as there is irrefutable evidence that harm was done.
You don’t create a just society by using eye for eye punitions
The fact a Level 3 SO was even allowed out in public in the first place, instead of rotting in a fkn cell for the rest of their life, proves how much of a joke & failure our "Justice System" is.
Everytime I see that footage with the fog completely enveloping the helicopter, I just feel that dread and anxiety. It was so avoidable.
Same with Aaliyah and her crew. 'get-there-itis' indeed :(
Piloting is such an important job, I wish those two pilots had put their foot down and said "No way! Here's your money back."

I was followed to my car by a group of men in our sister town, East Grand Forks, MN. What seemed to caught one of the men off guard is I turned around and got a good look at him before I got into my vehicle and locked my doors right away. When that monster’s sentencing was reduced to life in prison it made everyone here so angry for Dru and her family. May she rest peacefully.

As a pilot myself, stories like that break my heart. Let’s be safe fellow aviators! Also: there are a lot of videos like that helicopter one. Some older than others, none any easier to watch. Take offs are never mandatory. Landings are.
explain. for a landing to be mandatory a take off also has to be mandatory by definition you cant land without taking off.
@@filmtheory783 if you take off in a plane, you HAVE TO land. The plane has to come down and land on the ground eventually. There is NEVER a situation where a plane HAS to take off. Like yea airlines and schedules and stuff, but at the end of the day, the plane does not have to start up and take off. The safest pilots take all the safety precautions and what have you to make sure that once they take off, they can land too. If there are thunderstorms popping up in the area, that could potentially be something that could pose a problem. So I may elect to not take off depending on how stuff goes.
I'm very happy that you are so vocal with your advice to potential kidnapping victims. A kidnap victim is always sure to be a victim of another crime once the abduction is successful! Better to face the danger right up front.

You're my favorite true crime/mystery UA-camr. You're respectful to those effected by the cases and you have a good, creepy style presentation. It reminds me of when I was a kid and loved watching reruns of Unsolved Mysteries.
It’s disingenuous ‘respect’. This uploader can’t dress away the reality that he benefits/profits from the tragedy of others.
@@7eyesopenwide168It's almost like it's possible for your job to be making true crime videos while also being respectful about it.
@@tylertheguy3160 that’s what you tell yourselves to be ok with it.
@@7eyesopenwide168Yeah okay edge lord, you just have all of society figured out lol.
@@tylertheguy3160 I’ve lived on this planet over half a century. While there’s always more to learn, I’ve been paying attention thus far. I’m not brainwashed- (which requires a lot of effort). I don’t claim to have it all figured out, but I know what this world is. My eyes are open.
My mom was a juror on the dru sjodin case! Alfonso Rodrigues is the only person in North Dakota still on death row to this day. I had to be walked to my car at every job I ever had because of this case.
Video starts at 2:04. Thanks for the upload!
Poor Dru Sjodin, I remember this case, because I live in Minnesota and have family in Crookston. Never let anyone take you to a second location, this scum bags purpose wasn’t to kill her, but to take advantage of her. Highly likely he wouldn’t have just killed her in the parking lot, but I also understand how scared she must have been.
I remember seeing her case on forensic files years ago
Always makes my day when I see a new Lazy upload, no matter how disturbing it is!
Couldn't agree more man is a legend!!!
He’s one of the best. I’ve been subbed to him since late 2016 he’s easily one of the best cuz of his content and voice. Truly he always makes great content.
Facts
😂I totally agree, but I always feel bad for thinking it. Like "Sweet! A new Lazy video! I can't wait to see what awful and disturbing things happened to someone".
Same
Thank you for talking about Dru Sjodin. I was born in ND and have lived here most of my life, and that story really affected people in the state. Love your videos.
Same here. I was in 7th grade when this happened and it really impacted the community
Courts: "Oh, yeah! We'll just let him out so he can take another one! Why not? Could be you, so good luck everyone! Ahahaha!!!"
@@bentonrpI wouldn't call a 23 year sentence a short one but what do I know?
@@adrielsebastian5216 Well, in this case, maybe not, because I think this latest one was his first murder. If I'm not mistaken. So I could be wrong this time. Fair, fair. 🫱🫲
@@bentonrpyes it was his first kill, however seeing as he was previously jailed for aggravated kidnapping and multiple rape charges his high-risk should have been accounted for. he was so likely to escalate the violence, and he did
How these things get out of prison is sickening! They put people away for life for drugs and other much less violent crimes in the US but yet they let child predators out and even protect them while in prison. I’ve never heard an explanation for this.
I remember watching the video of Marianne getting her revenge,
and I honestly appreciate how no one stopped her until she had fired a few targets.
& she also should've not been arrested for as long imo, just because it's hard to loose a child who was just 7 years old. I don't even know what the feeling is, but I know it would've hurt Marianne so much.
Your statement regarding the fragility of life is spot on.
Cherish, love and honor each other, people, because we are not promised tomorrow and every second could be your last.
❤
I absolutely love what you said about not letting someone force you into their vehicle. Words to live by, as far as I'm concerned. Scream, fight, kick, scratch. If it's a male, kick him in the 🍇! You'll have a high chance to survive then if you go with them.
That mother doing even 2 years pisses me off. I hope her prison time was at least relatively non eventful, and that she was able to find work upon release and live out life as comfortably as possible.
manslaughter and owning a gun without license.
Just the mention of Aaliyah sends shivers down my spine. I loved her and dreamed about dancing with her when I got old enough. However, I don’t believe she could’ve been sedated to the point of unconsciousness because she suffered a heart attack as the plane crashed which most believe resulted in her death not solely the accident.
Great advice "Never go willingly ever."
Good advice Lazy on the never being taken to a 2nd location. That is something that I have taught my kids as well. Stay safe out there everyone!
He's right.. if you're going to die die fighting..
If you go with them anywhere you will die. They will kill you. Sometimes you might have to play their game. You'll have to gauge that for yourself. But do not go anywhere with them. Fight. You still might die but chances are better for you not dying.. not being silenced if you literally fight for your life. Be safe everyone.
If the last photo of Aaliyah was taken from outside the plane, which is what it looks like, she hardly appears sedated to the point of having to be carried onto the plane…not that it makes her any more responsible for the tragedy; it doesn’t. It simply calls BS on the story.
I thought the exact same thing. It doesn't make any sense.
Was that her last photo? I assumed that was from the flight before they landed at the filming site, or a photo from a completely different day
It was taken by a fan on the inbound flight, 2 days prior - but often gets mistakenly circulated as ‘the last photo’ of her - looked it up on Wikipedia.
The reflection in the window seems to show water, so seems like that pic was taken on a boat?
Someone said she was afraid of flying, so I'd bet she willing took the sedative to keep her from having to be scared while flying. I mean what proof do they have that she was drugged.
There is a reason I hate malls and won't go alone.
Wow, Lazy Masquerade, this video is both chilling and thought-provoking. It's haunting to see how seemingly ordinary moments can turn into tragic and disturbing stories. The segments on Drew Shadin and Aaliyah were particularly unsettling, reminding us of the fragility of life. Your storytelling and research are top-notch, as always. Keep up the great work, and thank you for sharing these intriguing yet sobering tales.
Hearing Dubbo mentioned is so trippy as a local. The Malcolm Naden case was one of the biggest as I was growing up, I remember everyone being so aware about where he might be hiding out. Never did we think it would be at the Zoo. Great video as always Lazy and thank you for being respectful of the victims 🩵
Marianne did nothing wrong, idc. She should have been a better mom to Anna while she was alive but she did well to get back for her after her cruel death.
Seeing people praise her honestly is just insane to me. She failed and neglected her child until death, and she's revered because she took acyion after the fact? Perhaps she stopped that man from harming another kid, but it doesn't bring back the one she had lost, nor does it give her the childhood she deserved that she never had in life.
@@Nikkkkkkkkkkkthey're just giving her credit where credit is due. They aren't saying she was mother of the year.
The story about Anna and her mother saddened my soul.
If you’re classified as “highly likely to reoffend”, your only options should never being able to leave prison, or being led into a soundproof room with a drain on the floor by a guard with a 9mm
Why do they let a convicted offender out of prison when they were certain he will re-offend?! This is so INFURIATING! An innocent woman lost her life in a horrible way because of BS laws like this...
I was a huge Aaliyah fan when she was becoming an icon. It was so sad, to see so much a talented woman taken out far too soon. 11:03 When showing off goes wrong…really? Weddings are highly overrated
Just dust yourself off
She was amazing, singing, dancing, and acting. She could do it all. She was definitely taken far too young💔
I thought the same thing. Arriving in a helicopter isn’t showing love has no bound but a simple flex for no reason.
She was fantastic in queen of the damned too, absolute tragedy man.
The aaliyah part made me emotional and of.course her death was planned
A shame that 8th shot missed. No amount of bullets was enough for the monster that took Marianne’s daughter from her. I hope that she and Anne are together again and at peace now.
Glad the mom put that creep out of his misery that story really boiled my blood.
That guy in the zoo is so nuts??? He lived and hid in a zoo for 5 years?? I wonder why they didn’t do a surprise raid style on the whole zoo, if they knew he was in there. That whole story sounds made up it’s crazy
I absolutely love that you tell people not to give up and let someone take you. If they are willing to do that in public, think about what they have in store for you in private...
Always look forward to whenever Lazy drops a video i find the eerie content he covers quite fascinating
So they deemed that first guy highly likely to reoffend again and they let him out anyways? That’s appalling. Whom ever made that shitty decision is just as responsible for Dru’s death. Disgusting. This justice system is a joke.
I’ve been following you for about 6-7 years, and I still watch every single video with excitement! Thank you for the ironic work you do, “Lazy”, I admire your dedication to this genre of entertainment
Poor Rosemary and the others. I can’t even begin to fathom how the groom felt. Aviation accidents are so tragic.
Another thing in the bachmeier story,the Grabowski was a known sex offender and had already served time. He voluntarily submitted to chemical castration and afterwards found a doctor to give him hormone treatment to reverse it. Marianne is an absolute badass
I don’t blame that mother at all! He deserved what he got and she probably saved other children from future r*pe and m*rder
The Mother daughter case is conflicting to me. If Marianne had actually been a mother to her poor girl, this wouldn’t have happened. At the same time, Marianne clearly experienced abuse/neglect during her childhood. The cycle of abuse is real and we need to better educated parents on how to care for themselves so they can care for their children
She probably never got over the guilt. She probably drank herself to death. Not that that makes up for it.
The way I see it she totally redeemed herself, almost like it was actually supposed to be an act of redemption for how bad of a mother she was to her. And despite how bad she was, the fact that she did what she did proves to me she cared for her daughter more than most and I'd easily call her a hero
I totally love all your vids! You started as a Scary True Story Narrator when there weren't many narrators for the subject. You helped a tired mom be able to finally sleep. I appreciate all the work you do!
Would you ever do true scary stories again? I've rewatched all the true scary stories you have, but I almost have them all memorized. 😅
Never let anyone take you from point A to point B no matter what!! Not even if they have a weapon. Run! Scream! Fight! Because if you go with the perpetrator your chance of survival drops to 0. Great video and great advice in this video. Thank you!
The helicopter crash was heartbreaking 💔 😢. All of them, the unborn baby included, had families who loved them. So sad.
If the victim was a child, i don't care if that type of trash has a right to a fair trial.
That never go to a 2nd locacataion video really stuck to me. Lazy isn't wrong though. Even if you're at the wrong end of w-pen. Run Run Run. Still gives me chills to think of being in a simple situation
It’s very unfortunate that Anna’s mom couldn’t have been a good mother while her daughter was still alive. Good for her for at the very least avenging her daughter after death.
Ansolutely agree on that.
regarding get-there-itus, ive heard its bad with kpop groups and their managers that they often end up in car accidents
Can't imagine how the bride's husband must've felt when hearing the news. He was almost certainly in denial as he wasn't aware she was taking a heli, only to later see the wreckage and realize a surprise act from his soon to be wife led to her death.
You're one of my favorite creators. Thank you for all the entertaining videos
