This is happening in my family to my sweet niece in rural Vermont, too as i write this. My nephew-in-law became a jesusfreakbornagain, dragged my niece into it (5 kids....) and he started a church to get money about 2 years ago. He's, of course, "the pastor". I hope she can get out but so far is saying is just nodding along to the pastor. Naturally, the pastor will only speak "jesus". The poor kids...did I mention she's homeschooling them, too?!? My biggest fear is that eventually they'll be a story on this channel. The situation is stereotypically "classic", unfortunately. The pastor has a bunch of guns.
How sickening that Sandra's family knew exactly where their girl was but couldn't get any assistance from the cops. Shit, I don't know how they went about their days without just breaking into this dude's house or sitting outside 24/7.
Sickening but not entirely surprising to anyone who has ever tried to involve the police in anything. I am in the UK and maybe my view is skewed because it is very bad here.
Imagine Sandra's family learning how she was treated before and after her death. I hope they are able to cope. Remember, she was reported as a fighter. RIP Sandra💜
Yes indeed Sheryl R I P Sandra.....Most people on here feel sorry for the one who survived (or was she part of it) but little sympathy for the ones who didn't or the ones who were rescued and I find that quite shocking. It is so sad when lives are counted as nothing and her parents will be beside themselves with thoughts and images.......too too hard to even think about!
I don’t usually think this way, except for these kinds of monsters, damn, why didn’t his attempts work!!!, earth wouldn’t of missed him in the least…✌🏻
As a woman of color who has been beaten, raped, drugged, assaulted, and dehumanized…. This is one of the few “This is Monsters” stories where I actually came close to shedding real tears… women in general being thought of as commodities is disgusting at best… but these countless stories of women of color being brutalized is just so heart wrenching. These women who have to CONVINCE someone else to believe their horrendous stories… thank you for sharing these victims stories… and every victim you honor in all of your videos.
There's always got to be someone in these comments bringing race into this. it doesn't matter what color you are no one deserves to be brutalized in the way Josephina was. It's not worse because a woman of color was beaten. It's just as bad as if a white woman or Asian woman Etc was treated the same way. Like..TF!?!
@@TheRealSmokahontas you weirdos who have never had to live the experience of a POC always seem to take offense to the assertion that our pain is taken less seriously and yet you ALWAYS seem to PROVE it’s true with your responses.
Why does it look as if she's without clothing? It's most likely a tube top, but really, couldn't they find something to provide Josephina with some dignity?! The 70s and 80s were terrible decades for sex workers, especially when they had mental health problems.
Yeah I felt for her that the other woman wanted her prosecuted even though shes the reason they were rescued. She played the game she had to in order to survive and not get beaten and stuff. Everyone is different and you never know how you would act in a situation like that...she did what she had to do. I feel for every single one of them. How horrifying. Things no one thinks will ever happen to them...but it does.
@@sharonjones2775 I'll definitely look into the full footage. But I will say just because she was involved in the crime doesn't mean she was a mastermind. But, I'll definitely keep an open mind when watching full footage. The biggest thing making me believe her kind of "Stockholm syndrome" story is that when she was released, she went straight to authorities.
It is an evil and cruel place. Yet you women keep having these daughters to become food for predators and content for channels like these. Maybe if women bred less and focused on surviving more we would actually evolve and not be victimized so often.
Apparently he did. The guards and inmates at where he was staying psychologically tortured him the way he did to his victims, plus beatings.. look up Nick yarris
shoving him in awhole while chained up seems appropriate. Monster dosent begin to describe this thing that is apparently a man giles your amazing for telling the stories, Ive begun to get away from trucrime, some channels capitialize on these stories but you and that chapter do it in a way that is very respectful to the victims
They used to torture the torturers back in the day. Now we can't because "We can't stoop to their level". Like fvck make them feel some of the pain they caused, and it might give them an idea that it's wrong. The CIA used to torture the 9/11 suspects... Y'know the terrorists who grow up in a country that it's legal to have sex at 12 and to kill your own son if he disobey's, and their "karahn" says it's okay to fvck a goat as long as you kill it afterwards. Guess what? Joe biden let those people in during the evacuation of Afghanistan. Many of them undocumented and free to run the U.S...
That’s how it is after trauma I know that when I recounting some of the things I experienced, nothing quite like this, but sexual and physical trauma from my childhood, often because it’s your reality and you don’t always speak crying or upset.
If you watch, I survived, that will tell you why, in some peoples judgment, she has no emotion, in the cases on that show, those evil deeds happened 15+ years ago, and the survivors are still haunted, most showing no emotion ,after some lost their faces,burned alive,necks are all cut up and scarred🥲 I imagine they’re on some kind of medication just to get through it, and she is a tortured soul through and through, it’s her body language that tells me….✌🏻
Yes a coping mechanism. You can try to cope of develop multiple personalities to escape the horror. She’s a strong woman. These poor women. And those cops!!!! Sickening
It's so fucked up that his victims were women of colour, no one did shit to help and it hurts my heart. He treated dogs better than these women, shows how evil he truly was.
We never get any help. I was surprised when less than two months ago this black woman who was being held captive escaped and was helped by an elderly white woman. She knocked on several doors naked, bleeding and afraid and no one would help or call the police. So many of us go missing every year.

@@pinkpugginz yes I know that but when that woman was talking she said that's what he fed the "other woman" but I'm sure she also ate them just seemed like she was too embarrassed to say it.

I can't believe they actually can function at all. Bless them
I remember this vividly. As a 12 yr old growing up in Philly, and one of the girls being my mom’s welfare client, I had nightmares for months after mom telling me about what happened to her client when they were found. This happened in a place named Kensington AKA “The Badlands”. It’s ALWAYS been a bad area. Never go there. However, they are trying to gentrify it, building homes upwards of $600000. I would never buy a house for that amount in that area. But people are buying them.
I remember this vividly as a kid on the other side of the state in PGH and the mix of horror from the black community and almost apathy( outside of the horrific nature of it all) by our greater metro city community at large. It's stunning how polarizing this case was.
And yes, they are currently gentrifying the "F" put of Pittsburgh and other cities, post "white flight" to the 'burbs, but even at the expense of universally historical landmarks. Profit is gonna profit!
Jeezus man. I'm pretty sure I've reached my limit with this one. Not hating on you though man. Keep doing the work. These stories need to be told these women had names and lives and purpose and we're deserving of love. So thank you for all that you're doing to share their stories and their experiences and bring light to the awfulness that we inflict upon each other
"Philadelphia, it's not one of those places where people look out for each other" and "police bothering to show up" are the most accurate descriptions of Philly
I find this case so intriguing, I'm so glad your covering this depraved sick monster, the things he put those women through, man the level of evil and torture this inhuman implemented on the woman never ceases to amaze me no matter how many times I hear it told. Thank you for giving these strong brave women the respect and dignity they deserve that he tried to squish for his own selfish sick fantasies and obsessions. Respect.
I feel so bad for Josephine, she was the first prisoner and did what she had to do after he killed the first disobedient woman. She saved everyone and they never thanked her.
@@catiena physically she saved them...mentally I think they were beyond saving. Christ the shit those woman lived through and endured. What an absolute madman.
@@catiena, why did you say that? You know none of them had a chance till he trusted one of them and let his guard down. How did she even think straight enough to concoct a plan and carry it out under all that misery and torture? Few humans have her level of courage.
I just watched this on hulus "I survived a serial k1ller" but she didn't say alot of what she did in the clips of her you showed, I appreciate how you do these videos. I've heard a bit about alot of the cases you post, but I always know you are going to have a way better and with every speck of information possible. Thank you
That one lady shouldn't feel any guilt. She did what she had to do so as to not be brutally murdered. I'd probably do the same thing. She may have been forced to take one lady's life but she saved 3 others by gaining his trust. She's really a hero.
@@jeangemmel7895 god, I can’t believe you could say that about her. It’s disgusting to essentially blame the women for not just ganging up on him, as if it’s an easy thing to do! Why don’t you try being starved and tortured and then see if you have the strength to do that kind of thing. Try having your ears stabbed with a screw driver and see if you have the confidence to risk it without even being able to hear. I don’t blame the other women for feeling angry towards her for “assisting”. They’ve gone through great trauma and deserve to feel however they feel. But that doesn’t mean it’s actually her fault. That man would have tortured and killed without her help. She just did what she had to do to survive. She is incredibly brave and people like you discounting her story, and the story of the others as well, is abhorrent.
@@jeangemmel7895 I apologize for my rudeness in advance, are you naive? Even if they did "gang up" that wouldn't have fixed anything. I'm not saying she made the right decision, your point about the victim's families still stands. However she also didn't make a wrong decision. When you're in a situation like that things become more complicated then simple black and white thinking.
@@kristinayoung8070 Of course it is............. I wonder what she was thinking about when she was out shopping with him and sitting eating in Mac D's. She went back with him.............don't forget that. All she had to do was create a right to do in the shop and it would have been all over for him and these other woman would have been saved. I can live with myself for having an opinion, enough said!
@@jeangemmel7895 You're welcome to have an opinion, lmao. No one is saying you can't. But people are also allowed to have an opinion on your opinion. Also she was obviously not in her right mind, I've heard about a lot of kidnapping cases where people will be in public with thier abuser and not cause a scene.
Although the Buffalo Bill character in SIlence of the Lambs was largely based on Gary Heidnik, it was also based on elements of 2 other serial killers, Ed Gein and Ted Bundy. The skinning of the females was Gein’s M.O. and the fake arm sling that Buffalo Bill used to lure the main girl into his van was a ruse that Ted Bundy used more than once.
"Gary was left with few employment prospects. So he did what any person would do faced with similar circumstances, he started a church!" I love the comedy timing and value of this line haha! Keep the great work and I love this channel!
Ahhh good evening Jiles....so nice to see your notification....I was getting tired of finding nothing new on Netflix. I wish you posted videos every night. Listening to your voice is worth even more than the video itself. But your videos are always great. And with that I thank you.❤️❤️🇺🇸
There is truly one person to blame, & the department of police to blame, I truly don’t think they cared, my heart soooo goes out to Josephina, she still looks tortured /haunted, we can watch and judge, we would never do those things, hopefully no one, watching this will ever have to find out, it’s do or die in this monster‘s world, sadly, there are more out there, praying for the day this evil stops,… I keep saying this, but I’m gonna say it everytime,Jiles you did it again, 👍🏻👍🏻you really get info that others skirt around, which is fine, that’s why I tune in, different perspectives, great health,/happiness to you and yours✌🏻💕
I swear! I was woke up from a dead sleep by my notification from UA-cam that I had a new video to watch. Noticed it was This is Monsters and had to get up to listen! Love this show! Happy New Year my fellow Monsters!
I woke up to no notification, I don’t know what’s going on, checked all my settings, 👍🏻👍🏻I was scrolling, and there was his upload, it’s always coffee and this is monsters here in Florida✌🏻
Giles nobody tells these horror stories like you. You're most definitely the best. It can't be easy, it's hard enough to listen to them without it affecting you. Thank you for doing this. It just wouldn't be the same without you. Blessings and prayers for you and your family and followers 🙏💓 this monster was absolutely horrible, of course I have heard of him. He was awful, truly awful. Stay safe out there people!
I actually heard this from a Mom of a daughter whom were both kidnapped and managed to survive this Monster 👹 I apologize for not remembering her name. I do but God Bless them all. 🙏
Only two episodes in and this is my favorite season so far. And that’s saying something because all of your content is terrific. Thanks for putting out some kick ass true crime material!
I Remember the story vividly… It stayed with me the very first time I saw it, I saw the documentary but as usual ,This is Monsters has details that I haven’t heard… Thanks Jiles
I wonder if the basement girl subplot in the 2016 movie "Don't Breathe" was inspired by this story. I looked it up, and people seem to think the movie was inspired by the Byron Davis Smith killings. Still, it's unusual that Gary Heidnik kept the girls in his dungeon to produce offspring like that movie. Bullalo Bill only wanted their skin, and Byron Davis Smith only wanted revenge against people who burglarized him. Maybe it's just a coincidence, but this sick crime seems to resemble that movie more. Also, I always thought Buffalo Bill character was based on Ed Gein. Hmmm🤔
If there can be anything worse than what these psychopaths do, it can only be that they involve their victims in their evil activities and get them to do your deeds.
I assume she has a tube top on, right? I can’t imagine why they’re interviewing her like that, she looks naked and considering what she’s been through, it doesn’t look right. Horrific story, just vile and heinous. Not just a monster, an evil monster. Remember to take time out for yourself Jiles, these deep dives you do must be hard. God bless
Thank you Jiles for another great video and Happy new year....I was hoping you would cover this case,and I am so glad you did,even though ALL these cases are horrific and heartbreaking,this one stuck with me for many years,especially what he did to Sandra's body😢...RIP to both ladies🙏🏽🕊🙏🏽🕊
OMG, YESSSS! I was LITERALLY just telling my mom that I was craving a new video from you! That's so awesome... Happy New Year! I can't wait to see which Monsters you shine the light on this year! Forever a fan, 💜💖💜
We actually have some VERY interesting family history that would make for a few amazing episodes, at least. I definitely don't want others to see the comments and spoil anything for the true Monster fans simply because I am one myself. Also, I would be very pleased to share some family history with you and the world. This is definitely not the info the police share and put on 48 hrs or Forensic Files. (Just in case you happen to be interested.) Still love all your content no matter what. 😊🙂😊🫠
These poor women! Its shocking that any of them survived this. I can't imagine the hell these poor women went through. Absolutely horrifying & extremely sad😭😭 God bless thier souls. 💔
Happy New Year!! I know u talk about MONSTERS but honestly it’s amazing how u break their lives down from start to finish in a such a short amount of time and I can tell u a lot of people hear about mostly all these stories for the first time on your channel….. You put in a lot of work to put out great material,u stand out and I just want to give u props and thank you
What’s sad is that I’m NOT surprised AT ALL let alone shocked!!! Perhaps it’s the fact that I’m an avowed and PROUD Atheist (as well as a Fully Disabled Combat Veteran) but I’m more surprised when I hear that religious people AREN’T the problem!!!
I tried to contact you to say thank you, I don't know how to do it? But I listen to you every week, you are a brilliant true story teller. Thanx, Barb in Canada
How is this the first time I've heard this story. I swear when I think I've heard all of them, "Monsters" defies the notion and finds one I never knew existed.
This is the first time I've seen a video done on this. I've read books that touch on it lightly but I had not seen a podcast or video about it yet. Great video sir

Jeezus man. I'm pretty sure I've reached my limit with this one. Not hating on you though man. Keep doing the work. These stories need to be told these women had names and lives and purpose and we're deserving of love. So thank you for all that you're doing to share their stories and their experiences and bring light to the awfulness that we inflict upon each other
@djfanboyLIVE well said.
"Philadelphia, it's not one of those places where people look out for each other" and "police bothering to show up" are the most accurate descriptions of Philly
Still till this day
I find this case so intriguing, I'm so glad your covering this depraved sick monster, the things he put those women through, man the level of evil and torture this inhuman implemented on the woman never ceases to amaze me no matter how many times I hear it told. Thank you for giving these strong brave women the respect and dignity they deserve that he tried to squish for his own selfish sick fantasies and obsessions. Respect.
"You're about to hear the story of the real Buffalo Bill. This, is Monsters" *chills* This, is the best true crime channel on UA-cam.
I feel so bad for Josephine, she was the first prisoner and did what she had to do after he killed the first disobedient woman. She saved everyone and they never thanked her.
She didn’t save everyone
@@catiena physically she saved them...mentally I think they were beyond saving. Christ the shit those woman lived through and endured. What an absolute madman.
@@catiena She did what she had to do to survive. You can't judge her for that. She went through absolute hell.
@@catiena, why did you say that? You know none of them had a chance till he trusted one of them and let his guard down. How did she even think straight enough to concoct a plan and carry it out under all that misery and torture? Few humans have her level of courage.
@@JessBlake2 he said it because he’s a childish moron and likely a bigot.
I just watched this on hulus "I survived a serial k1ller" but she didn't say alot of what she did in the clips of her you showed, I appreciate how you do these videos. I've heard a bit about alot of the cases you post, but I always know you are going to have a way better and with every speck of information possible. Thank you
That one lady shouldn't feel any guilt. She did what she had to do so as to not be brutally murdered. I'd probably do the same thing. She may have been forced to take one lady's life but she saved 3 others by gaining his trust. She's really a hero.
@@jeangemmel7895 god, I can’t believe you could say that about her. It’s disgusting to essentially blame the women for not just ganging up on him, as if it’s an easy thing to do! Why don’t you try being starved and tortured and then see if you have the strength to do that kind of thing. Try having your ears stabbed with a screw driver and see if you have the confidence to risk it without even being able to hear. I don’t blame the other women for feeling angry towards her for “assisting”. They’ve gone through great trauma and deserve to feel however they feel. But that doesn’t mean it’s actually her fault. That man would have tortured and killed without her help. She just did what she had to do to survive. She is incredibly brave and people like you discounting her story, and the story of the others as well, is abhorrent.
@@jeangemmel7895 I apologize for my rudeness in advance, are you naive? Even if they did "gang up" that wouldn't have fixed anything. I'm not saying she made the right decision, your point about the victim's families still stands. However she also didn't make a wrong decision. When you're in a situation like that things become more complicated then simple black and white thinking.
@@kristinayoung8070 Of course it is............. I wonder what she was thinking about when she was out shopping with him and sitting eating in Mac D's. She went back with him.............don't forget that. All she had to do was create a right to do in the shop and it would have been all over for him and these other woman would have been saved. I can live with myself for having an opinion, enough said!
@@confirmedbachelor4650 I'm not naive I'm speaking as a survivor myself.
@@jeangemmel7895 You're welcome to have an opinion, lmao. No one is saying you can't. But people are also allowed to have an opinion on your opinion. Also she was obviously not in her right mind, I've heard about a lot of kidnapping cases where people will be in public with thier abuser and not cause a scene.
Damn, I just wish nothing but peace and love for the victims. This one was tough
Although the Buffalo Bill character in SIlence of the Lambs was largely based on Gary Heidnik, it was also based on elements of 2 other serial killers, Ed Gein and Ted Bundy. The skinning of the females was Gein’s M.O. and the fake arm sling that Buffalo Bill used to lure the main girl into his van was a ruse that Ted Bundy used more than once.
exactly
Yes , was leather face based on ed gein too?
@@allson1000yeah so was Norman bates because of his relationship with his mum
Dead Skin Mask by Slayer is about Ed Gein as well!
Awesome I can't sleep....you're always right on time 😂🖤❤💯 good morning everybody 🌅🥰
I could not keep a pregnancy through rape, or the knowing of a sick man .. My fear of the child turning out like the father would be too high
"Gary was left with few employment prospects. So he did what any person would do faced with similar circumstances, he started a church!" I love the comedy timing and value of this line haha! Keep the great work and I love this channel!
This is the first true crime video I’ve ever watched that made me truly sick for my stomach. God bless those women.
Thank you Jiles! Happy 2023 🎉❤
I think Heidnik is definitely a step beyond your average monster.
He's in a league apart truly.
Ahhh good evening Jiles....so nice to see your notification....I was getting tired of finding nothing new on Netflix. I wish you posted videos every night. Listening to your voice is worth even more than the video itself. But your videos are always great. And with that I thank you.❤️❤️🇺🇸
Top tier content as always.
There is truly one person to blame, & the department of police to blame, I truly don’t think they cared, my heart soooo goes out to Josephina, she still looks tortured /haunted, we can watch and judge, we would never do those things, hopefully no one, watching this will ever have to find out, it’s do or die in this monster‘s world, sadly, there are more out there, praying for the day this evil stops,… I keep saying this, but I’m gonna say it everytime,Jiles you did it again, 👍🏻👍🏻you really get info that others skirt around, which is fine, that’s why I tune in, different perspectives, great health,/happiness to you and yours✌🏻💕
I swear! I was woke up from a dead sleep by my notification from UA-cam that I had a new video to watch. Noticed it was This is Monsters and had to get up to listen! Love this show! Happy New Year my fellow Monsters!
Back at ya!
I woke up to no notification, I don’t know what’s going on, checked all my settings, 👍🏻👍🏻I was scrolling, and there was his upload, it’s always coffee and this is monsters here in Florida✌🏻
When you see someone's eyes set the way his eyes are you know there's something wrong upstairs.
I can’t even describe how awful this is. The fact that this really happened and how cops could have prevented so much of it is crazy.
Giles nobody tells these horror stories like you. You're most definitely the best. It can't be easy, it's hard enough to listen to them without it affecting you. Thank you for doing this. It just wouldn't be the same without you. Blessings and prayers for you and your family and followers 🙏💓 this monster was absolutely horrible, of course I have heard of him. He was awful, truly awful. Stay safe out there people!
This one made me madder than every other story I've heard on here. Gary was a bastard for sure & a damn monster.
thank you for being consistent ❤🙏🏽 it DOESN’T GO unappreciated!!!
I live in Philly and I’ve never heard of this extremely disturbing case. These women endured so much.
You must be young , cause I'm from philly and it was huge back in day , he's complete lunatic ! All over the news obviously in philly
I grew up there all my life and this was so huge on news when it happend
@@scottfischer6029I was gonna say same thing. I live in Jersey and it was huge here as well!!
I actually heard this from a Mom of a daughter whom were both kidnapped and managed to survive this Monster 👹 I apologize for not remembering her name. I do but God Bless them all. 🙏
This is one of the eeriest stories. This chapter related to torture is by far the case's that creep me out more than anything else.
Just when I've seen every episode, a new one pops up!! The intro gets me EVERY time. 😊
Only two episodes in and this is my favorite season so far. And that’s saying something because all of your content is terrific. Thanks for putting out some kick ass true crime material!
Your sarcasm in your narration really helps me with this,I love it keep it 💯
Hearing the part about the screwdriver and the ears was stomach churning
I Remember the story vividly… It stayed with me the very first time I saw it, I saw the documentary but as usual ,This is Monsters has details that I haven’t heard… Thanks Jiles
thanks for covering this case! there is surprisingly few videos on youtube about this guy. happy new year's man!
I wonder if the basement girl subplot in the 2016 movie "Don't Breathe" was inspired by this story. I looked it up, and people seem to think the movie was inspired by the Byron Davis Smith killings. Still, it's unusual that Gary Heidnik kept the girls in his dungeon to produce offspring like that movie. Bullalo Bill only wanted their skin, and Byron Davis Smith only wanted revenge against people who burglarized him. Maybe it's just a coincidence, but this sick crime seems to resemble that movie more. Also, I always thought Buffalo Bill character was based on Ed Gein. Hmmm🤔
That was my thought too.
He is
If there can be anything worse than what these psychopaths do, it can only be that they involve their victims in their evil activities and get them to do your deeds.
That's such a crazy story. Out of all these I've listened to, this was truly disgusting. Keep up the good work exposing these monsters to the world
You never fail us, thank you and Happy New Year!
I love your voice, and the way you narrate stories💗🤟🏾 its so soothing, I easily fall asleep😂
His father, the original monster who created his monster of a son.
SooooOoooo happy to see you cover this case!!
I assume she has a tube top on, right? I can’t imagine why they’re interviewing her like that, she looks naked and considering what she’s been through, it doesn’t look right.
Horrific story, just vile and heinous. Not just a monster, an evil monster. Remember to take time out for yourself Jiles, these deep dives you do must be hard. God bless
I went AWOL and missed this channel so much!! Thank you for being here
Hey, I remember you. Welcome back! Hope you took care of yourself during your absence.
I've waited over 10 years for a solid video on GH. Great job . And I'm so happy to see your solid fan base grow. Wish you the best.
Thank you Jiles for another great video and Happy new year....I was hoping you would cover this case,and I am so glad you did,even though ALL these cases are horrific and heartbreaking,this one stuck with me for many years,especially what he did to Sandra's body😢...RIP to both ladies🙏🏽🕊🙏🏽🕊
Thank you, Jiles!
This is probably THE sickest pos killer and the most disturbing video I've ever seen. Those poor women! How gross and evil he was!
I have been a fan of your page for a little while now and I appreciate your narrative way in all of the stories. You make them alot more watchable
Good lord, this was beyond horrific. I knew that SOTL was based on a true story, but had never heard it. This is just beyond words.
These cops are some of the most incompetent I've ever seen. They completely failed these girls in every way.
OMG, YESSSS! I was LITERALLY just telling my mom that I was craving a new video from you! That's so awesome... Happy New Year! I can't wait to see which Monsters you shine the light on this year! Forever a fan, 💜💖💜
We actually have some VERY interesting family history that would make for a few amazing episodes, at least. I definitely don't want others to see the comments and spoil anything for the true Monster fans simply because I am one myself. Also, I would be very pleased to share some family history with you and the world. This is definitely not the info the police share and put on 48 hrs or Forensic Files. (Just in case you happen to be interested.) Still love all your content no matter what. 😊🙂😊🫠
Freak
@@geeksworkshop yeah get a fucking life
You are way too excited about these videos.
Thanks for sharing ❤
How tf Gary's daughter could still support him after all of that is beyond me.
3 a.m. gift of a new Monsters! Just perfect, thanks bud!
These poor women! Its shocking that any of them survived this. I can't imagine the hell these poor women went through. Absolutely horrifying & extremely sad😭😭 God bless thier souls. 💔
I’m a Philadelphian. I remember the city being absolutely horrified by his insane actions.
Crazy he took all those charges and only got 3 years.
Ah another video for us! I can't get enough of this channel
Thanks for another great case. Jiles I have no words for this man.
HE DID WHAT? HE FED THE FIRST DEAD GIRL TO THE OTHER GIRLS? THIS one is truly is MONSTERS. rip.. damn
Happy New Year!! I know u talk about MONSTERS but honestly it’s amazing how u break their lives down from start to finish in a such a short amount of time and I can tell u a lot of people hear about mostly all these stories for the first time on your channel….. You put in a lot of work to put out great material,u stand out and I just want to give u props and thank you
What’s sad is that I’m NOT surprised AT ALL let alone shocked!!! Perhaps it’s the fact that I’m an avowed and PROUD Atheist (as well as a Fully Disabled Combat Veteran) but I’m more surprised when I hear that religious people AREN’T the problem!!!
Me too
My favorite shows on UA-cam. Thanks for all your work ,❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I tried to contact you to say thank you, I don't know how to do it? But I listen to you every week, you are a brilliant true story teller. Thanx, Barb in Canada
Thanks so much for watching!
The 300th. I will take that as a sign of good graces, and in 2023 with, your storytelling will continue to amaze!!!
Wow. Just, wow. I hadn't heard about this case and I wish I knew why. 😕
The torture he inflicted was unimaginable.
This case always gave me nightmares.
Good job covering this story!
How is this the first time I've heard this story. I swear when I think I've heard all of them, "Monsters" defies the notion and finds one I never knew existed.
This channel always has interesting cases I like to watch.
The absolute horror these women went through. Trying to put myself in their situation gives me shakes.
This is the first time I've seen a video done on this. I've read books that touch on it lightly but I had not seen a podcast or video about it yet. Great video sir
You never fail to dissappoint! I was just re watching the Grant Amato episode just to hear your voice and settle in🤣 No Im not a weirdo lol. Thank you! Happy New Year!!
No, you are definitely NOT a weirdo! Lol that’s what we do here!
Yall are both wierd and you should seek help
@@elizahhoward6810 😂😂youre clearly here watching does that mean you need therapy also? Take your negative comments elsewhere. Aint having it in 2023😆✌️💪🙌
Watching it doesn't make you wierd, you aren't about to put that on me it's the other part lol, but to each its own. As a great woman once said..."let your freak flag fly"
We all do that I believe. Love TIM. Have rewatced a lot of the videos.
Thank You
Sandra fought till the very end. That strength is beautiful….
