One night a dude I dated for less than a month left me just one threatening voicemail when I refused to see him and I called 9-1-1. The cops showed up, then told me to go to court and file a temporary restraining order that I did mere hours later. In court, I found out I was the third woman he had either threatened or been violent with. Nine months later he was sent to prison for doing something worse to someone else. The detective wanted to know why I acted so quickly. I had seen things as a kid, so I did not play around.
Sorry that happened to you, good thinking reporting it and getting a restraining order. 👍 Ive never had a stalker but i’ve had an ex that i didn’t know had bi polar and threatened me after breakup till i got a restraining order.
Trust your gut. Who cares if someone thinks your an ass for getting the hell out of a sketchy situation.
@@CamHensley Love this. We are born with an instinct to "feel" when something isn't right & parents train it out of their children "To be polite" to the point we are too afraid of embarrassing ourselves or someone else to act on this instinct. I'm sure I am biased but.... Lol, my daughter is _beautiful_ . I have told her since before she knew what I was really talking about to _always_ act on that instinct & I will _always_ back her up, because I really don't care. The _only_ thing I care about is my daughter. The end.
@@DarlingDaintyfoot cant argue with an approach like that. Its logical, straight forward, and is gounded in lifes realities.
One thing I've noticed consistently for decades is that the way a guy handles rejection is a strong predictor for how dangerous they are. If his response to an early "no" is to call a woman ugly, undesirable, or promiscuous (in far less polite terms), that's not just a red flag, that's a blinking red DEFCON 1 alert with a 100dB civil defense air raid klaxon. The guys who respond in that way are never anything but the worst kind of trouble, and that's when it's time to tell everyone you know what just happened, hunker down, and start taking extra precautions.
I grew up with Stephen from elementary school through high school. He is 100% exactly the way he comes off. Creepy, scary and was known in HS to be “most likely to become a serial killer”….no joke!
😲
I wonder if she was his only victim.🧐
Yikes!
I also went to HS with a killer and his victim. He stalked her, and killed her while free, with an arrest warrant, and he had jumped bail. He had a record a mile long, and was hiding out at his mother’s. The local and state cops never even checked his mother’s house to see if he was there. The victim was one of the nicest, coolest, free spirits who believed in non-violence. A crying shame.
I love anecdotes. They are so much more entertaining in hindsight.
It's amazing how easy you can get out of this interogation by
A)not killing someone or
B) asking for a lawyer.
And if you gotta murk someone don’t self snitch and call Bruce Rivers
Ya but then you dont get to talk to detectives
I find option A is always best 😂
Exactly, we should start teaching criminals to always lawyer up, never ever confess or god forbid own up to your crime.
@jackalvarez7428speak for yourself. I constantly have to defend myself against that dude that tries to mess with me and kill me when i drink, just last week one beer then a vague memory of blood LITERALLY spraying out 1/2 inches from my foot (dove into the harbor to *try and fail* to catch the friends glasses i d thrown in, sorry he'd thrown in, to see if they floated.
Well they don't, and fyi if you're ever on the cote d azur in cavalaire in france dont walk barefoot in the water in the harbor, first of all there's that grey green liquid there that looks entirely different from the sea line 10m away but more importantly they'll be broken glass everywhere and jellyfish. And the first one is annoying as hell and time consuming (of course he didn't think to get an ambulance to stich me up on the spot i patched myself up like a big boy and here i am with a still open (not oozing tho) wound 1-2 weeks later.
I literally stepped of our (parked) boat and made one freaking step, didn't notice anything until 10sec after i climbed back on the boat i turned around and there was literally blood on every single cm2 of the boat, draining from the drainage hole into the sea.
A cop patrolling gave me a "i really couldn't care less of your stupid mistakes" look, and coming back, 10m later me still trying to stop the spray (lost a LOT of blood) my friends were smoking cigs having a good time and the policeman came torwards us, looked at my blood filled ted bundy style boat and said "don't throw these in the water eh?"
Jackass, seriously it could have been well serious i definitely cut some big vessel if it had been a larger one idk maybe further up the leg (yeah i can totally cut my groin artery while drunk and swimming, no question) it could have been an emergency.
I literally 😂 when Bruce mimicked, "Yes." And Stephen said, "Yes," in the same tone when answering, "Do you wear the same pair of underwear more than one day?"
😂😂😂😂
Yes
Her torso was discovered around 9:40 am right after the search was started and the garbage truck arrived moments after that discovery. The garbage truck was running about an hour late so any other day of that week, month, or year her body would have been gone about an hour before the search started. It's chilling how he would have gotten away with it if that truck was even close to being on time.
(Edited to add that they weren't late, the police were blocking the cans because her friends were so on top of things and already had them there investigating. If the cop cars were not there no body or piece of one would have been found.)
if that detail is accurate … so true
The garbage was blocked by a squad car parked in the area
Doubt he would have gotten away with it. There was alot of other physical evidence aside from her body. Namely the hacksaw from the janitors closet with her blood on it, all the other stuff found in his apartment and recordings of her. Pretty sure a jury would have reasonably convicted him.
@@nadagabri5783 it's accurate
That’s not correct, although what happened is still a miracle. A police car blocked access to the garbage and the trash guys couldn’t collect it.
Thanks Michael Rivers for talking your Dad into doing UA-cam!
He teaches me things and has a great sense of humor. And a great heart.
His man is so bad
Michael talked Bruce into having a youtube channel? Wow, good job! Bruce is a natural! Dad and son are a super team. Bruce is so Metal. 😂🤘🏼🖤🤘🏾
Amen!
Yessss.... thanks Michael for basically sharing your dad in a world full of estranged dads 👍
Son likes to watch UA-cam, Father has a perspective others find interesting, being that he's a defense attorney. Father want son to do something with his life, therefore uses his position to turn son's UA-cam habit from degeneracy to "content genius." It's nothing but nepotism and privilege.
This is the first police interview I’ve seen where the detective is the one that wishes he could go home 😊
I think they needed an experienced female interrogator to do this interview. Something tells me he would have been less frozen up with fear and not feel so emasculated by the male detectives. He may have not been comfortable in the presence of males.
@@shannoninalaska i don't think that would have made a difference, he was a law student and knew exactly what the police will try to get out of him, so he put up an armor they could not get trough, masculinity & co. were irrelevant here, he was not out to prove himself or to get famous so his ego was no factor here. He did everything right with the police but clearly neglected to get rid of the evidence like the saw or thumbdrive, if the garbage truck coming to his/her house was not accidentally blocked by the already present police cars there would be no body, the rest of her was sadly already taken by another truck, thatswhy they never found her. Without the body and evidence/trophy he kept, there would be no case or atleast no evidence to get him, but karma got him.
Hi, Scott. Lol

The detective's accent is making it 4x hilarious 🤣 "Steeeiiven! Whaaa mannn?"
He is like a character from a Stephen King novel
Your hay-ur is thay-ur!
@@TheNationalfilmbored lolll "it's thay-ur steeeeiiiven"
Maaaannnn. She looks goouuuuuuoood lmfao
That’s Hawrribul Steven 😮
So one of the details I dont think they mention in the JCS one, is he actually planned the murder with the garbage pick up schedule. The reason the other parts of her body weren't found is because the garbage had already been picked up, the one that hadn't was purely because the cops were so heavy the garbage truck couldn't get in at that moment. It's frightening to think he legitimately almost got away with it if her friends hadn't of been so immediately concerned.
Came here to comment this. It was just Stephen's bad luck that the police cars blocked the driveway, causing the garbage truck to pass by the house. I also read that the garbage truck was running late that day. Had it been on time, the police cars wouldn't have arrived yet and blocked the driveway, and the garbage would have been picked up. It just wasn't Stephen's day.
If her friends had waited just one more day to report her missing, they may have never found her body
@@Terri_MacKayi m not one for believing in karma or whatever, but i think its safe to assume if you ve killed someone and everybody is looking for the killer, its not your day by definition lol.
@@alexisjuillard4816 Everything that could have gone wrong to foil Stephen's plan for getting away with the murder happened. And it couldn't have happened to anyone more deserving. 😂
@eddiesaviarycom-fu9me you could try, but thats a near impossible task. Her body is in pieces, picked up in several trucks in different garbage bins mixed with many more garbage bins before being mixed into a whole ass landfill. It's a needle in a haystack.
I was stalked as a high schooler 20 years ago. The guy came into my place of work and just hung out and waited for me to get off work. We had witnesses and video evidence that he was waiting in the parking lot. The police came and said they couldn't do anything unless he attacked me. The state I lived in did not have stalking charges back then, but they do now. I hope the laws continue to evolve to protect people.
Well since the cops didn't do anything did he keep following you all day or was he just trying to get your number after work and when he found out your weren't interested left you alone?
@@Janellabelle he showed up to my work for weeks after being told I was 1) a minor and 2) not single. I had to be escorted out every single night to my car, and if he was seen in the parking lot he was trespassed first. When he stopped showing up on the cameras even as a drive by, I was escorted out by store security for another week or so and then they stopped because they didn't have the time to keep doing it. Fortunately nothing came of that, but I realize I'm very lucky that it did not go further.
Yeah that's what me and hubby worry about with my step daughter. She's 16 and work nights and has had a few MEN try to make advances at her. We tell her all the time to watch her back , make sure no one is hanging around her car and get her coworkers to make sure she get in her car safely.
@@sweettee051988I remember a few restaurants I worked at only allowed you to leave with a “buddy”. It could be annoying but it helped keep us safe

Love Bruce sm 😂😂😂
Women get gaslighted so much, it's refreshing to hear a man say "listen to your instincts ladies, because they're right". Subscribed.
Women don't get gaslighted. You're crazy.
I think you misunderstood it tbh. Im not mad at you though
This behavior occurred to a 25 yr old friend of mine. One day she noticed clothes were missing from laundry. She put up a Ring camera and it caught the guy trying to get in. He saw it and scurried off. Not sure if he’s been found to this day.
She did not know him. What’s odd is that she and female friends were less concerned than my buddy and I. We had to reiterate, “This is horrifying. Not just a red flag…but like watching a real life horror film. This IS NOT some common fantasy.”
Because sadly a lot of women are used to shit like that
It's what women have been putting up with for years... it's only recently that shit like that is being taken seriously
came here to say exactly what the two prior commenters said...it's just not as unusual as u think . Women deal with this stuff far more than they shld. Remember that if you ever hav daughters.
tbh, that childhood of "tyler punched you at recess because he likes you" gets internalized way more than people realise... esp if they had family like this. and from experience, kids from really f'ed up families tend to scare away 'normal family' kids when those kids realise HOW bad their new friend's life is. meaning that only those of us already used to messed up situations are tolerant... so there is no "not messed up" life... and it's just normal.
God bless Ring cameras.
RIP, Lauren.
Having been a woman for 37 years, I can tell you straight up that being "blunt and strong" with creeps like this, even if it's just a "no, thank you", with no attitude or anything, can escalate to violence. It's amazing how quickly some men will go from hitting on you to threatening you in the spance of a moment when faced with rejection. The mental and emotional arithmetics women have to go through in every encounter like this to placate fragile damaged men's egos is insane, and for many of us it happens on a day to day basis. Ladies, if you feel creeped out consistently by a dude, don't be "firm", call for help. Get your dad, your brother, your male cousin, literally any male you can trust to stay with you or pop by regularly. It's unfortunate, but in my experience it's the only way to deter creeps like this. They do not respect women or even the idea that women are whole ass human beings with agency. They see us as objects/property, and they will back off quickly when they see you are "owned" by someone else (another male) 🙄
I honestly wonder how anyone can defend this guy besides a straight up insanity plea.
Very well put. 🖐️🌹 I concur, we could do a whole thread of stories. I was at a WOMEN'S motorcycle gathering years ago (c 1992) and one of the women's (the event organizers/hosts) HUSBANDS was there as a "helper/volunteer" to answer questions. As I asked directions, he leaned in and draped his arm around my shoulders. I immediately backed away and held up my hands and said "Sorry, but I don't like strangers putting their hands on me" (the "sorry" was probably a mistake in hindsight) first he was apologetic, THEN wanted to be insulted and argue about it. I walked off and got directions from someone else.
@@sharonthompson672 ugh, typical. Guys that claim they "aren't THAT kind of guy" inserting themselves into a safe space for women, then proceeding to be EXACTLY that kind of guy. I hope he didn't ruin your weekend, or anyone else's (cause you know you weren't the first or last woman he pulled that crap on, not to mention the talking to his wife had to be burdened with to inevitably give him). I really wish we lived in a world where a simple "leave me alone" or "don't touch me" would suffice, and we didn't have to feel the need to preface everything with "sorry, but...." Pro tip: I've once deterred a creep like you're describing by just farting. It was a loud one that lasted a solid four seconds. Just looked him in the eye without saying anything, and ripped it. He immediately backed off and didn't bother me again. So, ladies, always keep one in the chamber, so to speak 😅
@@maririnkoit's always the guys who really want you to know they're not that guy. And will not leave you alone. I've had to help complete strangers because of psychos like this dude. So I may not be a woman but I've seen what you guys go through
Just cuz you're a woman don't act like a victim and start hating on all men. If you want to be a lesbian go ahead, but remember, you came from a man too. I love my masculine husband of 37 years!
@@KM-zn3lx whoa, take several seats. I love my husband as well, but my original comment was in regards to general women's safety. Your homophobia is also showing. Please be better 🖤
“Creepy virgin disease” really made me laugh 😂
I was stalked by my ex-husband for 2 years. Even after he remarried he continued to stalk, harass & threaten me. I got a VPO & he continually violated it. He even called me from the backseat of a police car after being arrested. Sgt. Dumbass was in the front seat while my ex was screaming at me on his cell phone. He would fill up my answering machine with threats. It took months to finally go to trial & the ONLY thing that stopped him was prison. Ladies, do EVERYTHING legally in your power to stop stalking behavior. Document EVERYTHING and always press charges. Your life will depend on the actions you take. Only YOU can protect yourself.
Absolutely. I know it’s exhausting, but do it.,
Listen to this ladies. I've had a friend who turned into a stalker and we all abandoned him when it was clear how far gone he was in harassing an ex. I still think about that poor woman and hope she feels safe.
I’m a woman, and I had a female stalker when I was in college. It was the most unnerving experience of my life.
90% of these cases, the male/female does something to lead the suspect on, instead of plainly stating to them "levae me alone, i dont want to see or hear from you "
I understand! I’ve got a Permanent Restraining Order which is a Powerful Piece of Paper, if you can survive that long & get the evidence to have them arrested.
Found Bruce this morning and I've been totally binging! Love his sense of humor yet still a professional. He makes me laugh so much!!!

“How many times you gonna say I don’t know?”
“I don’t know”
Classic response of a monster!

I lost count.
It's been 12 years. Has that guy survived 12 years in prison? Never would have thought.
hes still fighting the charges saying he's innocent, that he never raped her and he didn't do it 😂😂😂 even after the written "confession"
I have been shoved and had a drink thrown in my face because I said "No thank you," to a guy buying me a drink. Most women I know have had a man do something similar when they're rejected. That's why we try to soften the blow, so to speak. The problem is if it's that kind of guy, nothing you do will stop their bad reaction. Firm or gentle, they're going to be an a-hole. You are not responsible for making someone feel good for hitting on you, so answer accordingly.
Omg you poor thing. congratulations on earning your victim card
@EXITLlFE Oh sweetie, bless your heart. 😂
That's horrible. I cannot believe how badly some men treat women because their poor fragile egos get hurt.
@@EXITLlFE douche much? Totally uncalled for.
@@EXITLlFE you just totally missed the whole point, didn’t you?
Stephen's body language is haunting and his eyes are wildly disturbing. He, to me, beats every horror villain out there and I truly believe that he would have killed many more people if he had the opportunity.
When he slowly turns his head to face the detective, with those dead, unblinking murder eyes? Damn, i have no idea how the detective didn't lean back. He looked like he was going to lunge and try to eat the cops face
I agree. I think he would have kept killing.
Good thing he is a ideot the smart ones are truly terrorfing
@@bloodyneptuneyou can’t see his eyes or face in the video
All you can see is his head moving back and forth. Nothing else moves that whole time. Beyond creepy.
That moment when he finds out he's busted on live TV is priceless 🤣
Body?
The Behavior Panel covered this guy. That was 1st time I saw this case. RIP Lauren… what a life she had ahead of her were it not for happenstance w apartments & living near this creep. Mike & Bruce are awesome. I even love their intro/exit music. Tune gets caught in your head.😂❤
As a defense lawyer , have you ever turned down a client because you’re disgusted with the crime they’re being charged with ?
Yes. You'rr obligated to advocate for them IF they are your client, but not obligated to make them your client
@@Dizastermaster.Very good point. Sometimes, being a criminal lawyer is just making sure your client's rights aren't trampled on and you put forward the defense they want to use. Look at Chandler Halderson's lawyers. They didn't have much to work with at all.
Bruce actually posted a video answering this & other viewer questions.
@Sulynn707 so what was the answer from him? He's posted lots of videos
@@Dizastermaster.
The ? was posted for Bruce to answer.
That moment he hears they found a body and falls apart in sheer panic and terror, is 100% authentic.. And he has a panic attack! Wow that was a primal reaction. He is a scary weirdo. Pleaae make sure you listen to your gut. It won't fail you.
Ladies, the worst thing you can do is refer to a stalker as “your stalker” or “my stalker”, because that gives ownership to that person. It makes them feel like they have a connection to you.
I found a fellow Bozo! Hello there 👋
They feel that way regardless. That's why they're stalking someone. They already feel like they own you
I’m remember Boze telling us that, I was just about to post that! Thank you!
@@MegNotTheStallion but further validation of that belief isn't going to help
Valid point.
This guy is an absolute freak. Ive seen that interview many times but i love your input on it! As someone who had to go to court for a stalker, its absolutely terrifying and so hard to have something done legally unless you actually get hurt.
Have you ever heard/seen the case of Kristin Pratt/Patrick Macchione? True crime daily did a compilation of his videos about/to her. Heartbreaking. Thank god she survived it
If you have a stalker and you're aware of it, that's when you get a concealed carry permit and stay strapped. Everyone's responsible for their own safety. Criminals ain't gunna just stop.
@@mattb6646 cant do that in a lot of countries unfortunately. here in Australia you are not allowed to carry anything for self defence.
@@mattb6646I 100% agree with CCW but where I worked at the time, I couldn't exercise my CCW while working there (nor could customers). Having it in my car IS the reason I still believe he stopped short of harming me and gave me enough time to get PD there. Twice
Thank you for this. My daughter had/has a stalker. She dated him for 11 days and she broke it off and he threatened to kill her and all of us. He did so much trauma to her mentally that she’s scared of someone jumping out from a room to get her. This is truly scary. She lives with this everyday.
Aikido. Tell her to take classes. Best for up close hand-to-hand combat. I threw a HUGE guy in our class over my shoulder and it was so easy. I quit after 2 months but it is eye-opening. She is not defenseless if she is prepared. And she can take self-defense classes too. Cameras and alarms everywhere with motion detection. Alert neighbors to keep an eye out for strange people or vehicles in the neighborhood.
I hope nothing ever happens to you guys or her. My sister had a stalker. Difference is we're kind of different and she chose to keep it secret for awhile because she was afraid we'd hurt him.
It's best to file a report with police and get a restraining order and tell family and if you're afraid still and of age and it's legal where you live self defense via fire arm is the way to go. God forbid someone is in danger, they call police with guns....better to have someone who already has one there then aint it?
@@shannoninalaskaThis is not realistic. My mom hip tossed my dad too in the house when he was not expecting it and threw his back out when I was a kid. But she could not take him 1 vs 1 and he was a skinny guy.
My father was an abusive crack addicted prick until she kicked him out. She fought back constantly for 14 years but he never tried to hurt her more than bruises and bumps on the head, but he could have easily. She even used a hammer on him, cut him with a screw driver and more before.
The strength difference between men and women is beyond what you think it is. Men hold back significantly especially in training doing martial arts. There is no amount of martial arts that will close this gap if a man wants to harm you. A 16 year old male is already stronger than or just as strong as an adult female.
You should be way more cautious of bad men that exist than you currently are. I'm telling you this for your own safety. As men we know this, hence why men run to help women in conflict with men.
Idk what's wrong with some women and the fear of thinking to learn to use a fire arm but you're totally cool trying to physically fight off a person 90% stronger than you. The logic is insane. The average man is stronger than 97.5% of women.
Many blessings for her and your family.
@@shannoninalaska
Aikido?
Sigh.
95/100 times a man is gonna overpower a woman, we cannot deny biological facts, dear. And you threw a guy while you were training, not in a real life, HIGH STAKES, life or d*ath situation. Completely different.
The security part I agree with tho.
I HIGHLY suggest OP’s daughter gets the ultimate equalizer, buys a pewpew, and takes plenty of courses since you can find them everywhere. Been using them my entire life, I pack everyday, & am always aware of my surroundings. Taken course after course & go to the range constantly.
I’m a mountain of a woman and have been apart of an MMA gym (mainly straight boxing & BJJ classes) for the last 4yrs, but I’m not a _fool._

My fiancé & I have had some close calls at night in sketchy areas, I could tell you stories for days and the *only* thing that saved our lives..?
Guess what it was? You got it.
Four separate incidents and each time, the hand cannon came out and they scattered like roaches.
As a woman, I take *zero* CHANCES. If I perceive someone as a real threat, my trusty companion is coming out of its holster.
I really have to add that Bruce provides so many funny comments, sarcastic quips and hilarious reactions as well as clear explanations of the before/during/after ramifications of an interrogation. (Without counsel especially) I enjoy the break he brings to the seriousness of the subject matter. Respect for victims; not so much for perps.
I would love to see Rivers react to the interrogation of Russell Williams in Canada. An example of an excellent police interview.

Wonder if he went to prison a virgin
JCS: “He cut her up into five pieces with a hacksaw and dumped the parts into separate trash cans around campus”
Bruce Rivers: “that’s not normal”
Me: “you don’t say”
I think he's saying that from the perspective of someone who regularly works with criminals.
Few people can be so methodical after committing murder.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I ALSO LAUGH AT JOKES
How come everytime I read a comment about the video it's at the exact same time of the narration of the video, the exact same time I'm hearing and reading the comment of the same thing? Lmao. Literally happens constantly
This was probably the most unsettling interrogation I've ever seen. This guy just makes your skin crawl.
Hearing your mention of fingernails reminds me of something I've heard before. If you are a victim of an abduction or attack of any kind, make sure you leave sonething of yourself or your attacker behind for the police to find. It could be your handprint on their vehicle or one of their hairs that you pulled out. Even if you don't survive, it will give your loved ones more chance at getting closure by seeing the attacker held accountable.
I love Bruce reaction & mimicking the suspect. I’m laughing so dang hard. 😂😂😂
I can attest that tech has made stalking easier for creeps. My abusive stalker ex used one of those horrible apps that disguises your phone number to disguise his number as one of my friends’ numbers so he could call me or leave me creepy voicemails because I had blocked his number and all his SM accounts. It got so bad that I asked all my friends to say something that only we would know when they sent me a message so I would know it was them. That was before I got the restraining order
I’ve been waiting for this one! My favorite police interview Steeephen…😂 That cop had the patience of a Saint! Stephen amazed me that he could be so calm for hours. Scary really. What a sick person. This case gave me a new appreciation for law enforcement.
I think we call this perp "Sniveler". Everything about him makes my skin crawl. I hope his new "roommates" are less accommodating in light of the reason for his infamy.
@dormie basne I bet those stolen condoms didn't provide the protection he thought the day might require. To be fair, he was saving himself for marriage, so it's possible he accidentally stuck to the plan as a shotgun bride. Guess his instinct to buy guns was both correct and ineffective.
do you watch dumb criminal? Lol

I'm pretty new to this channel. I've spent my past three evenings enjoying his posts.
"If the lady's not returning your affection, try some grooming." 😂😂😂😂
Love your reactions to JCS episodes the best!
And, yes, everything you’ve said regarding stalkers is on point…they’re entitled, controlling, and seek to exploit others at every turn.
He so evil
Absolutely on point, as one that knows from personal experience! 💜
THANK YOU, Mr. Rivers, for reviewing and reacting to this case!
I remember watching the entirety of the raw footage of McDaniels’ police “interrogation”, and ever since, I’ve been craving to know how a professional defense attorney would possibly handle with someone like THIS as a client.
Your insight, information, and natural comedic ability to provide off-the-cuff sarcastic comments sprinkled throughout your reactions is what brings me back to your channel time and time again.
Keep up the great work 👏💯👍🏼👍🏼
I love this channel and you're usually spot on. But there is no "women should do this or that". Women get cowards like this who pretend to be nice guys or you could get someone who gets even more angry about you being firm. Her response to him wouldn't stopped him. Even if she was "stronger" in her rejection and appearance, he snuck in her room! How could she have been stronger with him while sleeping. The only thing that can stop these crimes are the criminals
Thank you! My thought exactly when he said that.
I appreciate the sentiment from Bruce but being firm and strong in saying no can trigger people just the same way being too soft can be taken advantage of.
Yee poor woman
2nd amendment is an equalizer if she had a firearm and defended herself thus creep would be dead and she would be alive unfortunately people have some sort of hatred towards firearms
@@johnathancampbell1056dude not the time or place man wtf. and considering she basically woke up to being strangled i doubt she would’ve been able to access a firearm
Yeah. I think in some cases firmness isn't a bad idea, and certain people (hopefully most people honestly), would take that rejection. But Stephen here would've likely just been embroiled by that.
Yes, he is an INCEL. I am 75 and only learned how dangerous and VIOLENT they can actually be. Amazing. No matter how old , there is always something else to learn.
The internet is a drug. The incels are on deep corners of the internet propagating fear and self-loathing. The natural outcome of that is blaming external circumstances which tends to be hating a certain group, whatever scapegoat they come up with. Eventually the scapegoat is dehumanized by these internet groups and that's when violence ensues.
An Incel is a movement. Not every person who can't get laid is a part of that community, and there's nothing to suggest that he was besides a profiling of him. He's enough of a monster already, and it's really bad faith to try and attribute a murderer to a movement you don't like, even if the movement is sad.
@@Rex-qf7enbad bot, do you see yourself in this video? Did you watch it? Let's play I Spy with your local authorities. 🎉
@@autumn9729what exactly are you implying here? Dude just made a statement and you making it out like he’s a monster as well.
@@autumn9729 lmao
I just don't like seeing people take shots at low hanging fruit. I'm not an incel, not a virgin, sex doesn't really mean much to me,
but my problem with this broad generalization is that there are a ton of people who aren't able to get laid for whatever reason. what makes someone an 'incel' vs someone who just can't get laid?
I have a friend who has a speech impediment that's really bad. He's not an incel by any means, but it's effected his ability to develop meaningful relationships and he's really struggled with it. he suffers a genetic disorder, and through high school he constantly got made fun of because people thought he was handicapped, even though he was an honor student
and watching that happen to someone made me realize that generalizations also fall on people who are absent of whatever mentality or condition that gets put on other people. in a way, when you decide this dude is an 'incel' , you're make a blanket statement that every young white adult who can't find a relationship is an incel. you're also kinda saying that incels are mass shooters.
and this guy doesn't need to be called an incel to make him look like a bad person. the things he's done have already ensure that he will be remembered as a monster.
"just do some grooming" 😂😂😂😂
"Maybe wash your face", 😂😂😂😂 lmao
The interrogation was one of the worst I’ve ever seen done. They tried EVERYTHING lmao.
I was gonna say! The getting up close and putting a HAND around the shoulder of the dismembering "suspect" (who they knew did it) was gross. The badgering clearly didn't work. Talking about his feelings? (He has none.) The interview was a failure; sounds like they gave MOM 5 minutes with him and he ponied up everything, and wasted taxpayer money by NOT starting with mom. I'd be so embarrassed to be those "detectives".
@@MelanCholy2001 doesn't even sound like he ever broke, he just stopped being catatonic. Only reason it was solved was the popo finding his stalker flash drive and the hacksaw package, the detectives literally accomplished nothing legally from what I heard. Hopefully he was at least completely terrified but you can't even tell that for sure
Went looking in the comments for someone else who thought this!! That cookie speech 🙄
@@MelanCholy2001 okay expert. He’s a catatonic psychopath, they’re getting nothing. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see where detectives are leading you.
They’re trying to get him to make statements. Even passing ones to check against evidence. And hey, it worked 👍🏻
He wasn't giving them anything. They had to keep trying something else.
During McDaniel's interrogation, when he decided to act like a comatose robot, you can tell the police detectives just wanted to beat him to death..
And the fact they couldn’t contain themselves fully is frustrating to watch, it’s the true test of all of their work up until that moment and they just start flaming the guy calling him a piece of shit. Like yeah obviously the guy needs to be put to death but… calling him that isn’t helping them in that room at that moment. Lol
What a tragedy. Thanks for covering this case Bruce.
It really is. Some say Steven's room might never get cleaned at this rate.
@@danielm4114 That's kind of heartless considering the nature of his victims. Imagine being his poor underwear.
The part that has laughing is when the detective says "I'm going to take this away you don't deserve to look at it" and a second layer " we appreciate you talking to us tonight" LMAO wtf is that? " You disgust me but thanks for your participation"😂😂😂
Hi Bruce... Please do more of these longer episodes i find it extremely interesting your take on these crazy case's. Plus you're a comedy genius ❤✌️
I would love to see a collaboration with Bruce and the Behavior Panel! I think your areas of expertise and senses of humor would be perfect together
Brilliant
Yessss! That would be awesome!
Bruce strikes me as a man that couldn't be doing with the good ole boys club of the behavior panel.besides,he isn't big on body language.just hard facts. He probably thinks it's junk science.he strikes me as a no nonsense sort of guy,I myself believe in body language analysis.
Can you IMAGINE having this guy as your lawyer?!?
Law school?? Give me a break!
Michael and Bruce - thanks for bringing us this one!! One of the most amazing interrogations ever 🙀🙀🙀
This makes me feel sick. I feel horrible knowing that girl was attempting to be nice to this weirdo, and in response he took her life. I sincerely hope this guy's stay in prison is excruciating
And then he dumps her body parts in a dumpster, disgusting.
It means the world to have you validate the instinct of women because so many times we’re dismissed as over reacting.
I had an Uber driver return to my neighborhood and leave a letter for me with one of my neighbors (my home was, thankfully, hard to find). I felt so scared as I didn’t know if he would come back or had worse intentions for me. I worried that if I reported him to Uber, he would come back to do worse.
Ultimately nothing happened but I had to change a lot of things in my life to ensure I was safe.
I’m just curious what did he say in the letter that made you scared?
@@Artemis-v8iI am curious as well.............
"...what do you suppose he used those toilet rolls for?" 🤔🤭🤣🤣🤣
Thats alot of rolls. Probably has diarrhea from shitting his pants ??? I dont get it…
His ability to maintain that alternate personality and not break down during the questioning is because he's a psychopath. He's closed himself off to all of this and isn't affected.
I remember seeing this case before and someone said that he thought that the trash would have been picked up and gone before they found her missing, so his reaction to them finding her is real. He never thought they would find her
Bruce is so funny! Love that he is covering this case! Stephen is a CREEP‼️‼️‼️ True Crime Loser does a few great videos on his interrogation. The hair was there Styyyyyven ‼️🙏🏼
STAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYVEN!
@@norbeaster784 💯💯💙💙‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
@@usenamenotallowed woot woot‼️‼️always nice to run into my Schmeeda family!❤️💯‼️🌹
Gotta check my pictures
THE HAYRE WAS THAYRE STAYYYYYYVEN
I have a lot of respect for that detective man.
Glad to see this comment. So many other people are so derogatory towards him.
At 12:37 you were looking for the word manifesto. I know its soooo aggravating when you want to express yourself, you know how, but in the moment you lost the word.. no harm, no foul amazing video ❤
@@saram3156 maybe? I was just trying to relate with the struggle to formulate sentences when put in a socially stressful situation.
I’m glad to see the return of MethLab Grandma. Always a treat to see her. And as always I love your JCS reacts. Bruce and JCS are a great combo.
Breaking senility
Thank god he didn’t get away with this, i could only imagine how many more victims he would’ve had, RIP lauren
I’ve seen this many times plus watching Dreading’s psychological long very detailed upload. I found out from watching that version was that Stephan actually planned to act to this way to try to plead insanity or not mentally stable. 🤪😂 I absolutely love the second detective!👍🏼 I’ve also seen him in another interrogation. He’s absolutely brilliant and comical 😂🤣. RIP BEAUTIFUL LAUREN!!!🙏🏼🌸🌷🌸
Happen to know the psychological state he went into? Dissociative Amnesia, Dissociative Fugue, Dissociative Identity Disorder, Depersonalization Disorder??
Never cease to be amazed at these evil doers. Sad and senseless. Bruce keep up these reviews, it’s good to know the despicable behavior of these psychopaths. Keeps me on my toes for sure! ❤
The way Bruce laughs about his predictions of what the suspect says gives me joy
If I was ever stuck inside of an interrogation room, I would be climbing those walls like Gladys did in Legion. No way I could sit in the corner hot seat feeling trapped. I could just never be a criminal.
LMFAO 😂😂 that woman always scared the sheeeyit out of me lol. This made me laugh out loud 🤣🤣🤣
“That’s not in the training manual” perfectly explains Macon, GA lmao. I’m from Middle Georgia and have lived here my whole life. Not many people from here know about this sad case, thank you for bringing attention to it.
I’m always amazed that people participate in these interviews at all.
22:45 you sir, are sooooo freaking cute! 😂 you’re such a great attorney! Your videos make my day! I wish you were neighbor!! 😂 😆
He has been through so much. I'm in awe of him
@@gabehayes1833 really?!
A lot of people assume stalking is just a mildly creepy and inconvenient offense. However, with even some basic research, it quickly becomes obvious that stalking can easily escalate into a deadly situation. I feel bad for anyone, man or woman, that's had to endure stalking.
The reason someone is stalking is because they are fantasizing. After a while fantasy doesn't stimulate them the way they like so they escalate
@@ojjuicemanthey think its like a hallmark movie, after a while they realize its fake and snap
I love your wit! With your Midwestern dialect and your well-timed comments, you are a delight to watch, despite the seriousness of your subject matter. Rock on👊🏼😊!!
I want to see Bruce defend someone in a high profile court case someday
JCS is a great channel! Thank you, Bruce, for covering this.
Yeah we're about due for another video. Eagerly waiting
Bruce, I feel bad laughing at this nightmare, but you're savagely funny.
Was looking for something to watch and the JCS reactions are ur best vid reactions
I like the channel. I appreciate your tone, delivery, and pacing as you speak. Many other lawyers within this space speak at the same speed as they think. Rapid delivery does not serve the defendant, the prosecution, or the jury. Do they not teach courtroom demeanor/delivery in law school? You are engaged in a profession which requires top-level skills in communication.
Dude you guys rock as a team. Bruce you’re a great dad man. I love these videos. Thanks to you both for putting these together!
You are right Bruce. When someone is far down on the sociopath spectrum they are beyond help.
Therapy is possible in the long term but the person must want to change and such assistance is unlikely to be available in prison.
@@violinistoftaupo Primary Psychopaths have neurological differences that therapy can't do much about. They're just wired in a way that makes them callous and unable to empathize on an emotional level. Basically, they don't have a conscience, which you need for therapy to work.
She did listen to her instincts, report it to her friends, AND she was moving out. No blame at all should be leveled on this victim; she didn't do anything to make herself a victim.
This victim-blaming ("she shoulda listened to her instincts, and this wouldn't have happened") is no different from saying a woman asked to be sexually assaulted because she was wearing a short dress.
I’m glad Bruce stressed the fact to be blunt and strong. I’d rather get my message across and be called masculine or aggressive etc than suffer any further contact, awkwardness or worse.
Dipping your toe in the depravity water - great line
This is so bizarre but I had a stalker and his name was also Stephen 😢. Unfortunately a protection order only lasts for one year. He moved out of state for several years but then he moved back to the small town that I live in. So there's nothing that I can do until he does something again. Fortunately it's been many years and he's left me alone.
Bruce: if she's not interested, try some grooming.
Me: 😱
Bruce: get your hair trimmed
Me: 😅😅😅😅😅
An hour of Bruce!? Never clicked so fast!
I had to get my coffee first! ☕️
Love your channel. Thank you for doing what you do 🤘
I can see how he became so emotionally overwhelmed by how fucked he was in that situation that he experienced a level of dissociation from reality, detaching emotionally. The nervous system can only take so much. From the TV interview it's clear that he's not a psychopath, per se, as he appeared to experience considerable emotional distress when they mentioned finding the body.
He showed emotional distress the worst possible reasons.
Also psychopaths do not have no emotions per se (often quite the opposite), it is the pathology of their emotions that makes them dangerous.
to mee, he seems like watched too many anime and tried to acting like some crazy character😂😂 so cringe
he was faking
"That's one handsome son of a bitch right there" caught me off guard, I laughed so loud!
Or " everyone has a pair of women's panties mask!" 😂😂
It's covered in a different video that he wrote that if he ever murdered someone and got caught he'd go for the insanity defense. His whole demeanor change is affected.
They have him bang to rights, but this interrogation did nothing. They underestimated him, and aren't very good at what they do.
That was my thought too 🖐️👍
Yeah some Reddit post I think. I’m pretty sure it was on dreading’s video.
I remner this guy Bruce. Your coverage is spot on.
"I've hurt people Stephen"
"Yeah no shit you're a cop."
This made me laugh so hard it scared my cats. Way to speak the truth Mr. Rivers.
Same here, I felt so bad for laughing bc this is such a sick situation, but that was hilarious 😂
The thing that struck me when I first saw this buffoon's picture was "And he wants to be a lawyer?" There is no way I would even consider hiring this man as a lawyer. I loved it when you told him to try a little grooming! Amen! And when you see a picture of the young lady he was stalking and compare the way he looks to the way she looked, you will know that she would have been willing to date him when elephants started roosting in pear trees! She was a BEAUTIFUL young woman and he looks like something that was swept up off the street! Unfortunately, even when his lawyer cleaned him up a bit before his court appearance, he still looked like a total creep!
I watched a documentary with the police interrogation. This guy was a creepy creep. Gross and stupid and depraved. Thanks for going over stalking with this guy. He was the perfect subject to talk about stalking. I love your instructional videos. Thanks Bruce!!
They need to bring in the woman who interrogated Yeardly's killer. She would have gotten it out of him. These guys being so aggressive and seemingly unable to control themselves did more harm than good.
To be fair the detective was a great interrogator but he didn't know that he had killed her, he was only talking freely because he thought the worst charge he was facing was battery. I think if he knew it was a homicide investigation things might have gone very differently
I actually used East sign yesterday when I made a contract with a man to fix my refrigerator. Very simple.
BRUCE, you killed me when you smiled at the camera and said “yes 😏”. I laughed so hard my son was concerned 😂
I love your videos! i cant get enough of them! Keep the coming!
As you said, he got a sick kick out of playing the concerned friend and neighbor. He was loving the interviews right up until he was told the torso had been found. Why he didn't stfu and lawyer up afterwards is of course down to speculation, especially after the police asked to search his apartment.
Imagine, when asked about who his friends are, stevie boy turns to the camera and utters "board certified CL Bruce Rivers"
Stephen was a law student and was actually determined to be extremely intelligent, although sick AF. I think his strategy during the interrogation was to not give them ANY body language whatsoever to analyze.
No he wrote in a kinda like diary that if he was to ever b caught he’d act like he don’t remember and had a blackout. He is acting as if he doesn’t know anything. That’s y he’s responding like that.
JCS and Bruce Rivers is a great combo! RIP to the victim of this clown, she seemed like a nice lady.
