Anyone who can abandon their 4 year old child, after they’ve battled cancer and had 150 tumours removed, leaving them without a penny to eat or a father to protect them, is subhuman. I pray his wife and kids prosper without him.
Wife's fault. She slept with him 3clx. She married him. She didn't report his no payment of child support. The government would of taken his passport. Are American women not responsible for their choices, and cant file paperwork to protect their family and children? If so let's go back to 1800 where women are property of father and sons and she is incapable of protecting herself and family. I agree he sucked as a husband and father. But cant simp for weak women.
@@cdquintin3635 I can't see the comment you're replying to, but obviously there are some despicable beliefs out there that I would say it's okay to hate someone for believing in
Colombian people are hands down most of the most strikingly beautiful people I've ever seen and perhaps ever will. Man or woman, Colombian people are absolutely stunning, respectfully. 💯♥️
So, I'm not making excuses fathers that leave because they're not ready to be fathers, but I just can't help but point out the double standard when it comes to abortion. Why is it okay for women to shirk their duties and abort a child because they're not ready, and no one can shame or question their immoral motives, but men get completely lambasted and chastised for deciding to step out of a parenting role? Why do women's choice to abort get praised and men choice to abort financially get demonized?
What an absolute gem of a human being. Left his wife and sick kid and stole all their money and his kid had actual cancer! I feel like when you said Andrew Tate fan, I should have been prepared for the worst but that had me floored regardless.
Andrew Tate should not be spoken about in the same breath, I don’t always like his attitude but one thing folks ! He looks after his kids and family, like him or loth Andrew , the two men can not be compared.
@@Eire68 Andrew Tate is nothing more than an opportunistic grifter..he has used to the insecurities of men to make them believe he speaks "truth" and made money out of it. So yea they can claim he takes care of his own children but that is not the message he gives, because Tate preaches obsession and authority and not compassion..so even the whole "protect women, family, children" is one of hero complex ideology..which is very toxic. And yea the killer is definitely in the red pill manosphere passport bro circle. And unfortunately dude to Columbia class system women will look for anyone that can deal with their struggles, so who better than a race that is above in the class system? a white man..I know It feels like I am disrespectful to the victim but things like this happen even in my country as well.
This is what I thought, too. Valentina was so trusting as she grew up in a loyal family with no experience of such manipulation, narcissism and misogynism. After watching True Crime on a daily basis, I've come across many cases of young, trusting women being killed by narcissistic misogynists lately. Just yesterday, I watched a video about a woman of the same age being killed by a narc monster. Both women had the same thing in common- they grew up in a loving and trusting family and fell into manipulative, controlling, depraved men. Both were ambitious, hard-working, kind, highly sociable and widely loved. With narcissism and misogynism proliferating, it seems there has to be some syllabus at schools on how to spot red flags of your partner being manipulative, controlling and borderline abusive. It could save so many people from abusive relationships that might end up deadly. And it does not only affect women, men can also fall into manipulations.
@@Trammiliin_nr2 Oh dear - you seem worse than me. 🙂 Until now, I've not heard of anyone who watches more crime documentaries than me. Sometimes, for long periods, it's daily for me too. Yes - I would agree with you that no person should leave school without attending a course top recognise coercive abuse in all it forms.
@@Trammiliin_nr2 wow, the word narcissist is super trendy right now. Jesus, I hear it about a dozen times a day. You know most bad people aren't narcissists, right?
I am Colombian and this case really touched our country last year, there were so many mysoginistic comments against her mocking her death 😔 Thank you for talking about it, rest in peace Valentina ❤️🕊️
I know sometimes it seems that there are cameras everywhere, but I can see how important they are in solving crimes. Thankfully the cameras saw his devilish actions. Im so sorry for her loving family.
How you talk about the victims to these cases is the reason I stay. Many other crime channels go “she lit up the room” and left it at that. You humanise these victims and take time and care to tell their story. Thank you for your empathy and love for your work. Please keep up the great work. Very proud of you.
I mean, it’s pretty obvious when security cameras show her entering the apartment but never catch her leaving that he did something to her. That alone would be proof enough, never mind the fact that her body was found in the same luggage bag they recorded him bringing into the apartment.
Wow, that family picture of John and his ex wife Ashley and their kids reminded me of the Watts family. I think they were very fortunate this monster disappeared from their lives. Sadly, this wasn’t the case for Valentina. This fool was hell bent on making others pay for his own inadequacies. RIP Valentina. Condolences and justice for the family, friends and community.
Chris Watts was totally guilty of murdering his wife and their 2 daughters plus little Niko that Shannan was pregnant with!! It’s absolutely disgusting that women are writing letters to Chris while he sits in prison for the murders of his family! 😡😡
Probably he was so obsessed that he didn't see a way out.. So controlling that the thought of leaving for someone made his obsession strong nd the only way what was to k*ll her.. Is stupid nd narrow mind said if I can have no one else can't have her.. He saw he can't stop her from doing he Job nd isn't easy to control her so his evil mind saw a different path.. I don't understand don't you leave a person if it not going the way u want to.. Everyone has a type the are women that find this obsession sexy nd attractive nd adventurous..
I had that exact same feeling! It seemed like he was bound to murder someone, it was just matter of time.. John fixating on Valentina so fast very likely saved them from family annihilation or at least losing their mother. What a father.. and of course he was Tateist, seems perfectly in line for fellow narcissist. People with deep insecurities are dangerous, plain & simple.
He also brought the blue suitcase to the apartment before she even moved in. He had scheduled his s many flights ahead of time. He went to Colombia with the intention of killing her. Maybe he thought that being a developing country they would not find out or investigate her murder. Thank God for that homeless man.
Leaving your family high and dry speaks volumes about the person he is! May he rot in his 6x6 cell. Prayers to the family,and well wishes to the ex-wife that escaped this males ways.
How Poulos thought he could get away with this murder is beyond ridiculous. Likely considers himself the smartest person in the room. May he rot forever in a truly awful prison, with maximum prejudice.
1) It was John not Paolo! 2) If he had left her body in the apartment, he’d likely have made his escape easily enough. He is a very stupid and arrogant man and the world is a worse place with her gone and him still here. I don’t doubt this abuser preplanned this.
Poor Valentina 😭! What an evil monster. He abandoned his child who had cancer and his entire family. He must have had such a huge ego being with Valentina, she was way out of his league. He’s going to suffer in this life and the afterlife, well deserved. Condolences to her family and friends 💜
Be safe to whomever you connect to... There are so many disgusting people outside who are extremely jealous and insecure... even your classmates... And believe me they hunt.... they hunt for successful people... or people with extreme good looks... like trophies I guess...
Former barista here, there’s a rumor that if you want to wake up, opt for a light roast. They claim that the more the beans roast, the more caffeine cooks out as well. If you measure by volume, light roast has more caffeine as they’re denser but the difference is negligible by weight. The more you know.
It's hard to remember this sometimes, no matter how many times I've heard it. So, I generally go for a medium roast flavoured coffee. Thanks for sharing!
My heart breaks for his family, especially for the youngest child. Such a tough start in life. You get cancer, an abusive father, abandonned by him and then you find out he is a murderer. All of that before 10.
Not too sure if the kids know yet but they will certainly find out eventually. I'd hope finding out would be good enough closure to be relieved at his abandonment
Dear Adrian I am so happy to see your channel flourishing I found your channel in the early days and I really enjoyed it and even recommended some of my friends who love watching as well. You have an amazing way of story telling and really cover these stories so well.....keep up the fantastic work
@@VioletJoy Definitely a good and awesome thing for her, i've been in a similar position as a dj at that age. Though talking from experience (my "career" lasted 12 years, and also did the track production), being a succesful dj who *isn't* also the producer, honestly, isn't rare to pull off if you have the looks and right connections like she had.
Adrian, A Colombian fan here... been following you for a while now, just wanted to say thanks for the good content and for bringing this story to light.
No matter what you do, after someone tell you it's over, you have to respect that. If buy gift or anything, it's on you, no matter how many service you do after that for the other person, it's your choice, you're not entitled to anything. You can't force another person to be with you or love you. Nobody belong to you. I hope more people would get this. And the fact that he just abandonned his kids without a penny is showing that he was very immature and irresponsible. He'll have the time to think about all this in Colombian prison. I hope so at least.
People are weird. Thanks to people like Andrew Tate, they give men this the mentality that they deserve a woman just because they're a man. Tate has indirectly murdered a lot of women because of his podcasts and easily impressionable audience. Yet, he won't see any jail time for instigating. RIP To this beautiful woman Valentina. She deserved so much better.
Yet another case of a bright, beautiful, ambitious young woman with her whole life ahead of her taken by a no good, coward, loser, pathetic excuse of a "man". As soon as he showed her a glimpse of who he really was, I wish she would have cut all ties with him and never looked back. When people show you their true colors believe them. Rest in peace Valentina Trespalacios 🙏❤🕊
The overwhelming evidence against him including security footage should be more than enough to lock this man behind bars for basically the rest of his life, thoughts and prayers to Valentina along with her family and friends.
I think you are the only youtuber that deserves to thrive in the coffee industry. You are knowledgeable amd actually enjoy coffee. I love how you incorporate the little coffee details from the locations you are speaking of. Wishing you success!
He didn't make the news, he is reporting it. And he has a right to make a living. Most you tube presenters have and promote products. And you have a right not to buy his product or to watch his content.
Jealousy is a relationship killer ( no pun intended). Plain and simple folks, No man/woman will let another man/woman get close to them unless they want them to. And, if they do, there's nothing you can do to stop it. The best thing to do is walk away and find someone that wants only you. Getting jealous or possessive will only hurt the situation. Just walk away.
10:19 The gentleman posing with Polous and his family in that photo is former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan. In the US, the Speaker of the House is considered to be the third most powerful person in the federal government. This doesn't mean they knew each other, but might explain why that criminal thinks he could get away with murder. Other examples: FLOTUS Rosalynn Carter posed with convicted serial killer John Wayne Gacy.
Honestly, appreciate how u describe and tell stories of victims respectfully, in a world where we love to victim blame you remain untouched. keep it up!!!
Thank you for not mentioning drugs in the Colombia introduction! We are tired that it is the only thing foreigners mention! You never disappoint me Adrian!
Because he's scared to say anything about a nation that isn't White. But he'll talk shit about conservatives. He likes to hint that conservatives are RaC1sT. I'm a conservative, I'm also an immigrant in America, a person of color. I believe in hard work and values. I believe that men are men and women are women. I believe children shouldn't be manipulated into puberty blockers or having surgeries to transition, but to people like Adrian, I'm so evil.
@@spicybrown75 Cry about it some more. Don't pretend what your product is doing to people. If you people hate America so much, why are you dying just to get to America? Well guess what, I'm a person of color, I wasn't even born in America, but I won't hesitate how much of a failure your government is and how drugs coming from there ruin many lives.
I'm American and grew up camping in Mexico for weeks every year mostly in the 1970s and have wonderful memories of all the amazing people! My oldest daughter is fluent (reading, writing and speaking) in Spanish and we have no time for anyone who is racist of any culture. Please don't lump everyone in the same boat or you are as bad as the people you're talking about!
How can he say he's innocent when he's literally on camera loading the suitcase she was found in, into his car? ridiculous. He should've been jailed for life as soon as that was seen. Also sick how he left his 3 kids, one of them so sick ,with no money. I don't understand how anyone could do that.
Adrian, I absolutely love little gems of your own personal experiences that you sprinkle in your videos. It gives us a chance to get to know our favourite coffehouse host. Thank you for the video, your hard work is noticed and appreciated.
That poor homeless man, imagine opening a suitcase you find in a dumpster and there being a dead body in it... He will prob have ptsd for life after that 😢
And he was just looking for food or something... he probably has no choice but to get back out there looking in more dumpsters, but I think he has seen a lot already
what a heartbreaking loss. Valentina sounded like an incredible young woman, caring, bubbly, and intelligent. What a loss for the world. Sending prayers and healing to her family. I can only imagine the pain they are living with.
Victim is always made to look "incredible" in these stories. But in reality she seemed to be self-centered, spoiled and greedy... Looks like she had plastic surgeries.
@@azazello1784not only that, but the news here in Colombia kind of hinted that her mother encouraged the relationship for financial benefit, while turning a blind eye to her infidelity that her mother had to have know she was committing. She didn’t deserve murder, but neither the victim Or her mother are quite as innocent as Adrian’s show would have you believe.
If you feel insecure in a relationship or you don't trust someone why not move on and leave them alone. Now an innocent individual's life has been taken an a lost from her family and friends.
@@maryeckel9682 wow Shalamar, you're thr ultimate troll. Still mad bc I dated lm and he was never with you to begin with and I never liked him nor did he me. Y r u so angry at other women Robyn included instead of seeing that lee uses every woman he gets with. If you stop blaming other women and find another guy you wouldn't be spending time trolling me n her and fix your life. Lee didn't like me either n cheated so y r u mad
Can you do a video about Anders Breivik? He’s a man who went on an island in Norway and this case is probably one of the worst massacres I’ve heard of… And how he now lives in prison is insane but he still sues the state for his “bad” living conditions. It is and still are a sick case
Narcissist alert? His behavior (past & present) make a good argument. Making it her fault is a classic narcissist tactic. He probably said to her, “Look what you made me do”. Do they have the death penalty in Columbia? Someone get this clown a Babble app …
Your warm and respectful style on each case towards the victim and their loved ones is truly a gift 💝 I absolutely love how you also touch on the beauty and local life in the region for each of your videos, as well 🤗 Thank you for all your (and Nero's) hard work!
What a treat! Coffeehouse crime as I get up and start my day. ☕️🍳🥯 I work till 6am, so this is perfect! HNY to all. Praying for Valentina’s mother who now has to work & take care of the other children. Young women need to be careful for these wolves in sheep’s clothing. RIP Valentina 🕊️✝️🕊️
I love how Adrian gets happy whenever the case takes place in a well-known coffee place. ☕️ He's really a huge part of why I love this channel. Those little subtle nods he squeezes in ❤ And congrats on over 1 million! You so deserve it!!! 🎉
Adrian skipped a few details that were in the news here in Colombia. Let’s be clear, she was cheating on him. Not that she deserved what he did, but she took money he sent her and went on vacation with another man to Aruba. He’d hired a private investigator to follow them.
@@denniswatson6622..He should have been smarter. She was way younger and more attractive than he was. He was delusional to think she'd not be attracted to men closer to her own age.
@@The_torero make no mistake, I totally agree with you. I’m a gringo living in Bogota right now, if a guy like John is being approached by a woman like Valentina, he should have been very suspicious. He was naive and stupid and he basically deserved what he got. He also wasn’t smart enough to move on, now he’s going to prison for a woman he obviously didn’t care at all for or he wouldn’t have left her dismembered and in a dumpster. A complete fool all around.
I have been associating the name Bogota with coffee ever since watching the "Gaviota" soap opera in the early 90s. I still remember the packaging of that brand in the show and how it became popular. Sending love to Colombia.
People don't realize the more you try to control someone the more they're gonna go away from you the more they're gonna wanna do that even when a girl does it to a guy no matter how attractive she is the more the guy's going to want to go away and resist it If you fail you can't live without someone or without knowing they every waking movement that means it's time for you to split up because you can't rely on someone else for your every waking moment of happiness
I watched this channel grow since 200k followers, this channel is the first place I go to after winding down. I don’t drink coffee while watching, cause I watch before bed lol.
That horrible guy got everything he couldve dreamed of and still couldn't handle it. Poor girl Beautiful and trusting with a wonderful future ahead. Tragic. RIP ❤Valentina
It was a very famous case here in Mexico. Thanks for making this video you're the best!! Please speak about Ingrid Escamilla, it's a case which shocked the whole country.
Wow, can't believe this story is up!! I'm Colombian and this was all over the news last year. Glad you covered it! I hope you'll be able to cover some more Colombian stories. I'm a tour guide throughout Colombia and I'd love to host you one day!!
Adrian always describes situations in the most polite innocent ways, I respect him for it. But that's kinda obvious, a young girl looking for sugar daddy, meets old rich guy who pays for everything so she could live comfortably. A transactional relationship goes south and ends badly. All girls need to understand risks instead of dreaming of a princess life. Old dudes with money who scout for barely mature air headed girls are definitely not normal, there's always something sus about them. But hey... Money before everything I guess...
Early 30s ain't old. Narcissists can be incredibly charming and incredibly manipulative. She had no idea who he really was. And calling her air headed is uncalled for. Looks like the Potato Heads are here.
@@maryeckel9682 if he wouldn't be rich she wouldn't even look his way, but keep thinking otherwise if it makes you feel better. Also don't project your potato references 👌
Lots of red flags with this guy - abandoned his wife and children including the son who had cancer, chasing younger women when he’s only in his 30s suggests a controlling person as does the sugar baby sites, the private investigator thing, the advice to the soon to be married man, following Andrew Tate - all these things show his views of others and women in particular. Poor Valentina, my heart goes out to her family
So sad. I met someone while on vacations in the US, we had a long distance relationship. My family welcome him and we have been marry for almost 11 years. My heart goes out to her mother.
Adrian, the one thing I’ll always admire about you is how you can manage to find these cases, research and present them week after week for us. It has to be mentally and emotionally exhausting for you. The reason I say this is because this one this week really got to me. This guy is a special kind of monster. The way he treated his first wife and what he did to her plus leaving her and the children (and one special needs child at that!) destitute then moving on? Stomaching all that is too much to handle but then to research Valentina… she sounded like an incredible young woman who had the world at her feet. A loving family, a kind and generous heart, creative nature, energy and remarkable beauty made her a memorable woman. For him to take her away and for you to find the details out is a lot to process too. So thanks Adrian, I really appreciate everything you do because I’m sure these cases affect your life. ❤ Rest in Peace Valentina. The world is a bit darker without your bright light. ❤
in a sad, sick way. perhaps abandoning his kids to their good parent was the kindest thing his animal could do for them, he's clearly not cut out for a Father of the Year award, and at least this way she was spared endless custody and child support [that he was never going to pay anyway] hearings which can be brutal and take a toll on your nerves, time and peace
I have to say; having been to Colombia once and speaking Spanish since I was seven (I’m 37 now, lol), your description in the intro about the country was great. I’ve seen some interviews with Colombian celebrities-like Maluma & Sofia Vergara-and they’ve all mentioned how depressingly predictable it is when interviewers (or just people) mention their country’s history with cocaine, suppression of the people, violence, & the drug wars of the past. As if that’s all the country is known for? How ignorant. There are so many famous musicians, both modern & old school, plus thousands of plant species and varied ecosystems. From the tropical rainforests of Chocó on the Pacific coast to the high Andes mountains, the Caribbean north coast, Barranquilla… it’s beautiful!! Many of our most popular trending houseplants grow wild there as well! But the animals are extremely diverse in Colombia, from tiny poison arrow frogs to mountain lions, jaguars & ocelots. Monkeys, sloths, tapirs, otters, anteaters, deer, snakes… it’s endless. Plus, it’s consistently the #1 country for total species of birds yet it’s hardly the biggest nation on the planet! It’s also #2 for biodiversity, as in total number of plant & animal species-only beaten by Brazil at #1. A wondrous country for sure.. So your description was nice! 🇨🇴 ❤
What was not revealed was that her infidelities drove him to commit that heinous crime. She was also taking trips and seeing a younger local guy while simultaneously seeing John Polous. She definitely didn’t deserve to die as a result of that, but she was playing a dangerous game with an unstable man. It ultimately cost her her life.
I really like how you tell stores. Many terrible stuffs is happening in this world. I am Finnish but live in Sweden and love to listen to your stories.
Yes, finally here on time! 😁 Happy New Year, Adrian! Hope it brings you and Nero lots of purrs, health and prosperity! Thank you for your effort to tell the stories of those who are left voiceless because of some people's cruelty with so much respect and compassion.
Happy New Year! Found your channel a month and a half ago and have been hooked and binge-watching. It's amazing how much content you create with such incredible quality. Thank you for your respect for the victims and such amazing videos :)
I can say that I discovered coffeehouse crime years ago. I've lost many of my old UA-cam and Google accounts, hell even phone's. But Everytime I get a new one he's the first account I follow again lol. I've never lost that need for him to post. He's my favorite crime UA-cam channel
but aren't you a bit too late ?How will you cover all this ?I watch for one year and a half .it's the only way to cope with the sad content .I don't know if this kind of bind watching is good plus you won't have the time to reflect on each story .Two ✌️ times per week it's good max four .Trust me .
I can totally see why! So well spoken and covers the cases with respect and very thoroughly! Before I had only ever been listening to one true crime (Sword and Scale)
Hi Adrian and friends I just wanted to let you know that wondered for a week or two why I wasn’t getting messages that you had videos coming out and I had been unsubscribed. Trust me, I would never unsubscribe to this channel. I love it. So just to let you know, you might want to make another announcement to inform people that for whatever reason, we are being unsubscribed from UA-cam channels. By the way, happy new year and I hope you’re having a great one.
This story made me so sad 😞 Valentina was so selfless and was doing everything to give her family a better life. It’s not fair how this monster took everything away from her and left his previous family with nothing when they needed it most. Such a selfish disgusting creature he is, I hope he suffers in prison. Anyone who follows Tate is a red flag, if you know someone that does run away
I had never heard of him before, thanks for bringing that ray of sunshine into my life, I think the only thing more sickening than what he spews is that he makes five million/month spewing it [per BBC] anyway, I guess it's something for the incels to cling to the world is becoming a very mean, shallow place, sad to see @@itsomethingreat
I’m sorry but I do not agree with Tate but how is that a red flag for murder or physical abuse? And why even push that narrative while giving Tate a mention… stick to the evidence. Don’t try to multitask reporting a case in detail and throwing in a name of someone completely not involved in the case. Sad and cowardice way to get more views and likes
@@mayracamarena412 the anti-women vitriol he speaks and his influence on men is problematic. It’s fine if you don’t agree but it is problematic to me and others. The way he expresses himself screams anger issues
My heart goes out to her family. 💔 John's former family has been through a lot of trauma, too. 😥 He is toxic. Yes, she cheated on him and was probably looking at $$, but little did she know what he was capable of. What a horrible way to go. 💔

It's summer at my part of the world.
Anyone who can abandon their 4 year old child, after they’ve battled cancer and had 150 tumours removed, leaving them without a penny to eat or a father to protect them, is subhuman. I pray his wife and kids prosper without him.
Why don't you pray for this type of thing not to happen ? Because your horrible magical space wizard let this happen ...
@@mericanignoranc3551 imagine hating someone else's beliefs so much you try to convince them not to believe 😂🤣😂 sad life
Wife's fault. She slept with him 3clx. She married him. She didn't report his no payment of child support. The government would of taken his passport.
Are American women not responsible for their choices, and cant file paperwork to protect their family and children?
If so let's go back to 1800 where women are property of father and sons and she is incapable of protecting herself and family. I agree he sucked as a husband and father. But cant simp for weak women.

Thank you for the update! He is a monster!
Thanks for the update ❤
Thanks for the update 👍
That should be a life sentence.
Hey, I'm Colombian, and I've never seen this case treated so respectfully and in-depth as you did. Not even in local news. You do a great job
Colombian people are hands down most of the most strikingly beautiful people I've ever seen and perhaps ever will.
Man or woman, Colombian people are absolutely stunning, respectfully. 💯♥️
What does that have to do with being respectful? Are you trying to hit on her? @@mandananely6860
I was about to write quite the same. I love how he told the story
Is he going to a Colombian prison? Man I hope that’s the worst punishment.
Soooo, why do you go for older men with money?
Leaving your child just because you didn't want to be a father says everything I need to know about this punk .
So, I'm not making excuses fathers that leave because they're not ready to be fathers, but I just can't help but point out the double standard when it comes to abortion. Why is it okay for women to shirk their duties and abort a child because they're not ready, and no one can shame or question their immoral motives, but men get completely lambasted and chastised for deciding to step out of a parenting role? Why do women's choice to abort get praised and men choice to abort financially get demonized?
That's degrading to punks

What an absolute gem of a human being. Left his wife and sick kid and stole all their money and his kid had actual cancer! I feel like when you said Andrew Tate fan, I should have been prepared for the worst but that had me floored regardless.
Right! I didn't think he could get any worse.
You are spot on. What a douche of a guy.
Further proof of how dangerous the manosphere is.
Andrew Tate should not be spoken about in the same breath, I don’t always like his attitude but one thing folks ! He looks after his kids and family, like him or loth Andrew , the two men can not be compared.
@@Eire68 Andrew Tate is nothing more than an opportunistic grifter..he has used to the insecurities of men to make them believe he speaks "truth" and made money out of it. So yea they can claim he takes care of his own children but that is not the message he gives, because Tate preaches obsession and authority and not compassion..so even the whole "protect women, family, children" is one of hero complex ideology..which is very toxic. And yea the killer is definitely in the red pill manosphere passport bro circle. And unfortunately dude to Columbia class system women will look for anyone that can deal with their struggles, so who better than a race that is above in the class system? a white man..I know It feels like I am disrespectful to the victim but things like this happen even in my country as well.
By bringing an empty suitcase before the murder says it all. His ex-wife and children are lucky to still be alive.
The contrast in loyalty to family between Valentina Trespalacios and John Polous could not be wider.
Even Pablo seems like an upstanding dude. He gets dumped and still acts classy.
This is what I thought, too. Valentina was so trusting as she grew up in a loyal family with no experience of such manipulation, narcissism and misogynism. After watching True Crime on a daily basis, I've come across many cases of young, trusting women being killed by narcissistic misogynists lately. Just yesterday, I watched a video about a woman of the same age being killed by a narc monster. Both women had the same thing in common- they grew up in a loving and trusting family and fell into manipulative, controlling, depraved men. Both were ambitious, hard-working, kind, highly sociable and widely loved. With narcissism and misogynism proliferating, it seems there has to be some syllabus at schools on how to spot red flags of your partner being manipulative, controlling and borderline abusive. It could save so many people from abusive relationships that might end up deadly. And it does not only affect women, men can also fall into manipulations.
@@Trammiliin_nr2 Oh dear - you seem worse than me. 🙂 Until now, I've not heard of anyone who watches more crime documentaries than me. Sometimes, for long periods, it's daily for me too.
Yes - I would agree with you that no person should leave school without attending a course top recognise coercive abuse in all it forms.
@@Trammiliin_nr2 wow, the word narcissist is super trendy right now. Jesus, I hear it about a dozen times a day. You know most bad people aren't narcissists, right?
@@denisehagwood4542 well, but that one is.
I am Colombian and this case really touched our country last year, there were so many mysoginistic comments against her mocking her death 😔 Thank you for talking about it, rest in peace Valentina ❤️🕊️
Pathetic young men are the same in every country it seems. I'm from the US and could see the same comments being made here in similar cases
That's truly sick and I'm sorry the women of your country are enduring that. It isn't right.
Wow, that’s awful
This is an absolute tragedy. What a loss to her family and community. RIP.
We must educate our young people about toxic relationships.
Why? I would think they would be infuriated that some foreigner came into the country just to murder a young woman.
John Poulos has been sentenced to 42 years in prison. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Good! Thank you for letting us know 😊
Dying in Colombia then, doubt he will last long
I know sometimes it seems that there are cameras everywhere, but I can see how important they are in solving crimes. Thankfully the cameras saw his devilish actions. Im so sorry for her loving family.
How you talk about the victims to these cases is the reason I stay. Many other crime channels go “she lit up the room” and left it at that. You humanise these victims and take time and care to tell their story. Thank you for your empathy and love for your work. Please keep up the great work. Very proud of you.
If you like that and longer videos i recommend kimberleigh channel she is AMAZING
Except the part where he tells us to *"relax and grab a cup of coffee"* as if this is an entertaining tv show.
@@starlightgirl8863you mean it’s NOT?
@@starlightgirl8863agree. I dont like that either.
@starlightgirl8863 why else would we be here if it isn't entertaining us?
I mean, it’s pretty obvious when security cameras show her entering the apartment but never catch her leaving that he did something to her. That alone would be proof enough, never mind the fact that her body was found in the same luggage bag they recorded him bringing into the apartment.
And the suitcase he brought to the apartment before she even moved in. He planned this ahead of time.
And no evidence of any cartel or suspicious people entering the apartment.
Wow, that family picture of John and his ex wife Ashley and their kids reminded me of the Watts family. I think they were very fortunate this monster disappeared from their lives. Sadly, this wasn’t the case for Valentina. This fool was hell bent on making others pay for his own inadequacies. RIP Valentina. Condolences and justice for the family, friends and community.
Chris Watts was totally guilty of murdering his wife and their 2 daughters plus little Niko that Shannan was pregnant with!! It’s absolutely disgusting that women are writing letters to Chris while he sits in prison for the murders of his family! 😡😡
Probably he was so obsessed that he didn't see a way out.. So controlling that the thought of leaving for someone made his obsession strong nd the only way what was to k*ll her.. Is stupid nd narrow mind said if I can have no one else can't have her.. He saw he can't stop her from doing he Job nd isn't easy to control her so his evil mind saw a different path.. I don't understand don't you leave a person if it not going the way u want to.. Everyone has a type the are women that find this obsession sexy nd attractive nd adventurous..
Yes. They all have the photo and then the monsters always have that half hearted fake smile on their face.
@@gailainsley6939 yep. They also have similar features as well as hair colour/styles as Chris and Shanann Watts.
I had that exact same feeling! It seemed like he was bound to murder someone, it was just matter of time.. John fixating on Valentina so fast very likely saved them from family annihilation or at least losing their mother. What a father.. and of course he was Tateist, seems perfectly in line for fellow narcissist. People with deep insecurities are dangerous, plain & simple.
He also brought the blue suitcase to the apartment before she even moved in. He had scheduled his s many flights ahead of time. He went to Colombia with the intention of killing her. Maybe he thought that being a developing country they would not find out or investigate her murder. Thank God for that homeless man.
Definitely didn't expect her to be found at all probably.
I can’t believe she fell for this guy. His hairline , his demeanor, and the fact he left his family after such a tragic event is disgusting
Money talks.
"His hairline" hahaha!
She just wanted the money . Not hating just stating facts
She didn't know about his past, she just saw a rich white American.
😅 his hairline
Leaving your family high and dry speaks volumes about the person he is! May he rot in his 6x6 cell. Prayers to the family,and well wishes to the ex-wife that escaped this males ways.
Dont think they have cells in Columbian prisons, everyone sleeps in a hall
She clearly didn't care.
You literally have no idea what anybody cares about tf
"This male" .
*hates being called female*
6x6 cm cell
How Poulos thought he could get away with this murder is beyond ridiculous. Likely considers himself the smartest person in the room. May he rot forever in a truly awful prison, with maximum prejudice.
He kind of nearly did though. He was moments away from boarding a flight to another continent and disappearing with his money
You mean John?!!
1) It was John not Paolo! 2) If he had left her body in the apartment, he’d likely have made his escape easily enough. He is a very stupid and arrogant man and the world is a worse place with her gone and him still here. I don’t doubt this abuser preplanned this.
Who cares if he liked Andrew Tate or not? What a moronic point to bring up !
@@smartyjonez5470virtue signaling
Poor Valentina 😭! What an evil monster. He abandoned his child who had cancer and his entire family. He must have had such a huge ego being with Valentina, she was way out of his league. He’s going to suffer in this life and the afterlife, well deserved. Condolences to her family and friends 💜
the moral of this story is to always be very careful with who you connect with in the DMs..
Be safe to whomever you connect to... There are so many disgusting people outside who are extremely jealous and insecure... even your classmates...
And believe me they hunt.... they hunt for successful people... or people with extreme good looks... like trophies I guess...
I have been a subscriber for years. One of the many items I love about this channel is Adrian tackles homicides from outside US and UK. Thank you.
Such a tragic and sad ending for Valentina and her family. John’s first wife and kids, though treated abysmally, are lucky to be rid of him…
It almost parallels Watts. They're lucky to be alive. RIP Valentina.
Former barista here, there’s a rumor that if you want to wake up, opt for a light roast. They claim that the more the beans roast, the more caffeine cooks out as well. If you measure by volume, light roast has more caffeine as they’re denser but the difference is negligible by weight. The more you know.
It's hard to remember this sometimes, no matter how many times I've heard it. So, I generally go for a medium roast flavoured coffee. Thanks for sharing!
What about a machine that has about 90000000000000000 pounds per square inch pressure....😂😅😊..
Yes, the lighter the beans, the more caffeine.
Interesting thank you!
My heart breaks for his family, especially for the youngest child. Such a tough start in life. You get cancer, an abusive father, abandonned by him and then you find out he is a murderer. All of that before 10.
in another documentary I think I read in the comments the kid is healthy now I hope it is true
The first wife must be thinking how it could have happened to her and their kids.
😢 I hope they dont learn about it until they are older
Not too sure if the kids know yet but they will certainly find out eventually. I'd hope finding out would be good enough closure to be relieved at his abandonment
If this man was poor and acted this way, her parents would've warned against him.
Dear Adrian I am so happy to see your channel flourishing I found your channel in the early days and I really enjoyed it and even recommended some of my friends who love watching as well. You have an amazing way of story telling and really cover these stories so well.....keep up the fantastic work
"She is mature for her age" is what I hear every adult say when they justify dating someone young enough to be impressionable and manipulable
To be fair, she did appear to be mature for her age. She already had a successful business, which is extremely rare for 22.
Growing up made me realize this. I was 17 he was 33 telling me how "mature i was for my age" so dumb of me 🤦🏽♀️
@@reviewwithphy2105 So you dated a pedo? 🤔
so? then he was 35 if he was 13 years older than her. he was still young as well. 30s are still young!@@VioletJoy
@@VioletJoy Definitely a good and awesome thing for her, i've been in a similar position as a dj at that age. Though talking from experience (my "career" lasted 12 years, and also did the track production), being a succesful dj who *isn't* also the producer, honestly, isn't rare to pull off if you have the looks and right connections like she had.
Adrian, A Colombian fan here... been following you for a while now, just wanted to say thanks for the good content and for bringing this story to light.
Everything we do " will come to light in the end."
No matter what you do, after someone tell you it's over, you have to respect that. If buy gift or anything, it's on you, no matter how many service you do after that for the other person, it's your choice, you're not entitled to anything. You can't force another person to be with you or love you. Nobody belong to you. I hope more people would get this.
And the fact that he just abandonned his kids without a penny is showing that he was very immature and irresponsible. He'll have the time to think about all this in Colombian prison. I hope so at least.
You said it so well. Such good advice.
True! Some people think having trick on them is a good thing. I'll always come with something bad.
So True.
People are weird. Thanks to people like Andrew Tate, they give men this the mentality that they deserve a woman just because they're a man. Tate has indirectly murdered a lot of women because of his podcasts and easily impressionable audience. Yet, he won't see any jail time for instigating. RIP To this beautiful woman Valentina. She deserved so much better.
Yet another case of a bright, beautiful, ambitious young woman with her whole life ahead of her taken by a no good, coward, loser, pathetic excuse of a "man". As soon as he showed her a glimpse of who he really was, I wish she would have cut all ties with him and never looked back. When people show you their true colors believe them. Rest in peace Valentina Trespalacios 🙏❤🕊
The overwhelming evidence against him including security footage should be more than enough to lock this man behind bars for basically the rest of his life, thoughts and prayers to Valentina along with her family and friends.
Sixty years in a Colombian prison sounds about right for this guy.
I bet he learns the language now!
I hope this monster never gets out of prison. No-one deserves to end this way by a psycho.
I’ve heard that the Bogotá prison is one of the worst in the world. Good
And he's likely P*ssed off the cartel too by throwing them under the bus as a red herring
I think you are the only youtuber that deserves to thrive in the coffee industry. You are knowledgeable amd actually enjoy coffee. I love how you incorporate the little coffee details from the locations you are speaking of. Wishing you success!
"she would often describe him as a kind and generous gringo" lmaoooooooooo
Thank you, Adrian for telling us these stories with the utmost respect!
Thank you, and thanks for listening!
yep, I love Adrian, he is a great criminal investigator and presenter!!! love, Maureen
i like how he uses these stories to try and sell his coffee. super respectful
isn’t the first time a creator has uploaded this story this story has been already been on yt long before this channel decided to upload it again
He didn't make the news, he is reporting it.
And he has a right to make a living. Most you tube presenters have and promote products. And you have a right not to buy his product or to watch his content.
Jealousy is a relationship killer ( no pun intended).
Plain and simple folks, No man/woman will let another man/woman get close to them unless they want them to. And, if they do, there's nothing you can do to stop it. The best thing to do is walk away and find someone that wants only you. Getting jealous or possessive will only hurt the situation. Just walk away.
So true ❤
Descansa en paz. Tuve la fortuna de verte como DJ y eras magnético/a. Te extrañamos en la pista de baile. Mis condolencias a la familia.
10:19 The gentleman posing with Polous and his family in that photo is former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan. In the US, the Speaker of the House is considered to be the third most powerful person in the federal government. This doesn't mean they knew each other, but might explain why that criminal thinks he could get away with murder. Other examples: FLOTUS Rosalynn Carter posed with convicted serial killer John Wayne Gacy.
Honestly, appreciate how u describe and tell stories of victims respectfully, in a world where we love to victim blame you remain untouched. keep it up!!!
Thank you for not mentioning drugs in the Colombia introduction! We are tired that it is the only thing foreigners mention! You never disappoint me Adrian!
Yes only Americans from the US introduce brown skinned countries with negative images and negative descriptions.

Because he's scared to say anything about a nation that isn't White. But he'll talk shit about conservatives. He likes to hint that conservatives are RaC1sT. I'm a conservative, I'm also an immigrant in America, a person of color. I believe in hard work and values. I believe that men are men and women are women. I believe children shouldn't be manipulated into puberty blockers or having surgeries to transition, but to people like Adrian, I'm so evil.
@@spicybrown75 Cry about it some more. Don't pretend what your product is doing to people. If you people hate America so much, why are you dying just to get to America? Well guess what, I'm a person of color, I wasn't even born in America, but I won't hesitate how much of a failure your government is and how drugs coming from there ruin many lives.
I'm American and grew up camping in Mexico for weeks every year mostly in the 1970s and have wonderful memories of all the amazing people! My oldest daughter is fluent (reading, writing and speaking) in Spanish and we have no time for anyone who is racist of any culture. Please don't lump everyone in the same boat or you are as bad as the people you're talking about!
I hope his ex wife managed to get access to the offshore accounts after he was arrested!
Waking up to a new Coffeehouse Crime video is the perfect way to start a morning! Thank you for being so respectful to the victims Adrian!
How can he say he's innocent when he's literally on camera loading the suitcase she was found in, into his car? ridiculous. He should've been jailed for life as soon as that was seen. Also sick how he left his 3 kids, one of them so sick ,with no money. I don't understand how anyone could do that.
Adrian, I absolutely love little gems of your own personal experiences that you sprinkle in your videos. It gives us a chance to get to know our favourite coffehouse host. Thank you for the video, your hard work is noticed and appreciated.
That poor homeless man, imagine opening a suitcase you find in a dumpster and there being a dead body in it... He will prob have ptsd for life after that 😢
🙏
Ikr 😢.. damn.
Not if he is a real man. We don’t make ourselves victims for fun just to torture ourselves . like all you woman do
And he was just looking for food or something... he probably has no choice but to get back out there looking in more dumpsters, but I think he has seen a lot already
@@odapunkt just don't look in suitcases
Thank you for all your hard work. I appreciate how respectful you are to the victims while still being thorough with the details.
what a heartbreaking loss. Valentina sounded like an incredible young woman, caring, bubbly, and intelligent. What a loss for the world. Sending prayers and healing to her family. I can only imagine the pain they are living with.
Victim is always made to look "incredible" in these stories. But in reality she seemed to be self-centered, spoiled and greedy... Looks like she had plastic surgeries.
@@azazello1784not only that, but the news here in Colombia kind of hinted that her mother encouraged the relationship for financial benefit, while turning a blind eye to her infidelity that her mother had to have know she was committing. She didn’t deserve murder, but neither the victim
Or her mother are quite as innocent as Adrian’s show would have you believe.
@azazello1784 Exactly! Looking for a sugar daddy.
@@denniswatson6622 Stop being weak, desperate pervert's also. The same can happen to you.

I appreciate your respectful handling of this. I'm so sad for her family. May God give them comfort.
May his children forget him.
If you feel insecure in a relationship or you don't trust someone why not move on and leave them alone. Now an innocent individual's life has been taken an a lost from her family and friends.
You're right about successful ppl attracting monsters. He was a pathetic psychopath with no future who preyed upon this nice girl
It was the other way around. We don't know what she did to him as well.

If you stop blaming other women and find another guy you wouldn't be spending time trolling me n her and fix your life. Lee didn't like me either n cheated so y r u mad
Thank you for being so respectful of the victims. Happy New Year
Can you do a video about Anders Breivik? He’s a man who went on an island in Norway and this case is probably one of the worst massacres I’ve heard of… And how he now lives in prison is insane but he still sues the state for his “bad” living conditions. It is and still are a sick case
Narcissist alert? His behavior (past & present) make a good argument. Making it her fault is a classic narcissist tactic. He probably said to her, “Look what you made me do”. Do they have the death penalty in Columbia? Someone get this clown a Babble app …
Your warm and respectful style on each case towards the victim and their loved ones is truly a gift 💝
I absolutely love how you also touch on the beauty and local life in the region for each of your videos, as well 🤗
Thank you for all your (and Nero's) hard work!
RIP Valentina
Such a sweet young woman for helping her mom
🥰
What a treat! Coffeehouse crime as I get up and start my day. ☕️🍳🥯 I work till 6am, so this is perfect! HNY to all. Praying for Valentina’s mother who now has to work & take care of the other children. Young women need to be careful for these wolves in sheep’s clothing. RIP Valentina 🕊️✝️🕊️
The amount of times I went -- "This freaking idiot... THERE WERE CAMERAS EVERYWHERE... This freaking idiot... Oh my GYAD..."
I hope you can do an update whenever the trial happens.
Always look forward to your episodes and how respectful you are to the victims.

I love how Adrian gets happy whenever the case takes place in a well-known coffee place. ☕️
He's really a huge part of why I love this channel. Those little subtle nods he squeezes in ❤
And congrats on over 1 million! You so deserve it!!! 🎉
I love how we get a little travelogue along with the crime story, though it's adding to my bucket list
Clearly Valentina was a beautiful person, inside and out. Many times caring people are victims of narcissists. Very sad.
Adrian skipped a few details that were in the news here in Colombia. Let’s be clear, she was cheating on him. Not that she deserved what he did, but she took money he sent her and went on vacation with another man to Aruba. He’d hired a private investigator to follow them.
@@denniswatson6622..He should have been smarter. She was way younger and more attractive than he was. He was delusional to think she'd not be attracted to men closer to her own age.
@@The_torero make no mistake, I totally agree with you. I’m a gringo living in Bogota right now, if a guy like John is being approached by a woman like Valentina, he should have been very suspicious. He was naive and stupid and he basically deserved what he got. He also wasn’t smart enough to move on, now he’s going to prison for a woman he obviously didn’t care at all for or he wouldn’t have left her dismembered and in a dumpster. A complete fool all around.
@@The_toreroagreed!! ❤
Yes, beautiful INSIDE & OUT ❤
Ooooohhh... I remember when this tweet went viral. Thank you for telling Valentina's story! Fly high sweetie ❤🩹
Hello, I always feel intrigued by your crime investigation series, may Valentina rest in peace. 😢
Coffee Beans arrived today! 🎉 ‘hello and thanks’ from Aussieland 🇦🇺 🤠☀️
I have been associating the name Bogota with coffee ever since watching the "Gaviota" soap opera in the early 90s. I still remember the packaging of that brand in the show and how it became popular. Sending love to Colombia.
People don't realize the more you try to control someone the more they're gonna go away from you the more they're gonna wanna do that even when a girl does it to a guy
no matter how attractive she is the more the guy's going to want to go away and resist it If you fail you can't live without someone or without knowing they every waking movement that means it's time for you to split up because you can't rely on someone else for your every waking moment of happiness
Punctuation?
Godzilla had a stroke trying to read this and fucking died.
Welcome back Adrian! Can't want to see what's in store for the Coffeehouse, thank you for your amazing content
I watched this channel grow since 200k followers, this channel is the first place I go to after winding down. I don’t drink coffee while watching, cause I watch before bed lol.
33:40 I saw his picture and the mark on his face. I said out loud “I hope that hurt” my husband was like ??? Across the room 😂
That horrible guy got everything he couldve dreamed of and still couldn't handle it. Poor girl Beautiful and trusting with a wonderful future ahead. Tragic. RIP ❤Valentina
It was a very famous case here in Mexico. Thanks for making this video you're the best!! Please speak about Ingrid Escamilla, it's a case which shocked the whole country.
Wow, can't believe this story is up!! I'm Colombian and this was all over the news last year. Glad you covered it! I hope you'll be able to cover some more Colombian stories. I'm a tour guide throughout Colombia and I'd love to host you one day!!
"Guys in my country it's not illegal to kill your girlfriend. How was I supposed to know it was illegal here? This kinda seems like it's your fault."
Adrian always describes situations in the most polite innocent ways, I respect him for it. But that's kinda obvious, a young girl looking for sugar daddy, meets old rich guy who pays for everything so she could live comfortably. A transactional relationship goes south and ends badly. All girls need to understand risks instead of dreaming of a princess life. Old dudes with money who scout for barely mature air headed girls are definitely not normal, there's always something sus about them. But hey... Money before everything I guess...
I agree
I disagree. She seemed to be doing well for herself, on her own. I think she was hoping for someone to settle down with.
Early 30s ain't old. Narcissists can be incredibly charming and incredibly manipulative. She had no idea who he really was. And calling her air headed is uncalled for. Looks like the Potato Heads are here.
@@maryeckel9682 if he wouldn't be rich she wouldn't even look his way, but keep thinking otherwise if it makes you feel better. Also don't project your potato references 👌
Lots of red flags with this guy - abandoned his wife and children including the son who had cancer, chasing younger women when he’s only in his 30s suggests a controlling person as does the sugar baby sites, the private investigator thing, the advice to the soon to be married man, following Andrew Tate - all these things show his views of others and women in particular. Poor Valentina, my heart goes out to her family
So sad. I met someone while on vacations in the US, we had a long distance relationship. My family welcome him and we have been marry for almost 11 years. My heart goes out to her mother.
Adrian, the one thing I’ll always admire about you is how you can manage to find these cases, research and present them week after week for us. It has to be mentally and emotionally exhausting for you. The reason I say this is because this one this week really got to me. This guy is a special kind of monster. The way he treated his first wife and what he did to her plus leaving her and the children (and one special needs child at that!) destitute then moving on? Stomaching all that is too much to handle but then to research Valentina… she sounded like an incredible young woman who had the world at her feet. A loving family, a kind and generous heart, creative nature, energy and remarkable beauty made her a memorable woman. For him to take her away and for you to find the details out is a lot to process too. So thanks Adrian, I really appreciate everything you do because I’m sure these cases affect your life. ❤
Rest in Peace Valentina. The world is a bit darker without your bright light. ❤
Thanks for covering this!
in a sad, sick way. perhaps abandoning his kids to their good parent was the kindest thing his animal could do for them, he's clearly not cut out for a Father of the Year award, and at least this way she was spared endless custody and child support [that he was never going to pay anyway] hearings which can be brutal and take a toll on your nerves, time and peace
I feel so much for Valentina, her family & her loved ones. Such a wonderful person. May she rest in perfect peace.
I have to say; having been to Colombia once and speaking Spanish since I was seven (I’m 37 now, lol), your description in the intro about the country was great. I’ve seen some interviews with Colombian celebrities-like Maluma & Sofia Vergara-and they’ve all mentioned how depressingly predictable it is when interviewers (or just people) mention their country’s history with cocaine, suppression of the people, violence, & the drug wars of the past. As if that’s all the country is known for? How ignorant. There are so many famous musicians, both modern & old school, plus thousands of plant species and varied ecosystems. From the tropical rainforests of Chocó on the Pacific coast to the high Andes mountains, the Caribbean north coast, Barranquilla… it’s beautiful!! Many of our most popular trending houseplants grow wild there as well!
But the animals are extremely diverse in Colombia, from tiny poison arrow frogs to mountain lions, jaguars & ocelots. Monkeys, sloths, tapirs, otters, anteaters, deer, snakes… it’s endless. Plus, it’s consistently the #1 country for total species of birds yet it’s hardly the biggest nation on the planet! It’s also #2 for biodiversity, as in total number of plant & animal species-only beaten by Brazil at #1. A wondrous country for sure.. So your description was nice! 🇨🇴 ❤
I watches this crime on other sites and you are by far the bessssst thank you Adrian
He was sentenced to 42 years - if he serves all of it, he'll be 78 at release.
Tremendous work, Adrian. This one was absolutely crushing, but done so eloquently and respectful. Also, amazing product placing, smooth ❤
Happy New Year! I don't like coffee but I pull up a chair and have a cup of tea.
Thank you for your well delivered and respectful stories
I was also a tea drinker all my life. Then a few months ago I quit all caffeine. Withdrawal was bad but now I don't miss it
@@nikobellic570 I don't drink it every day. I think it's good we don't depend on caffeine!
Colombia jail will serve him nicely, what he did to his wife and kids was unforgivable
What was not revealed was that her infidelities drove him to commit that heinous crime. She was also taking trips and seeing a younger local guy while simultaneously seeing John Polous. She definitely didn’t deserve to die as a result of that, but she was playing a dangerous game with an unstable man. It ultimately cost her her life.
I really like how you tell stores. Many terrible stuffs is happening in this world. I am Finnish but live in Sweden and love to listen to your stories.
I remember this story. I always enjoy your telling of these.
First comment! Coffee on the house!
Yes, finally here on time! 😁 Happy New Year, Adrian! Hope it brings you and Nero lots of purrs, health and prosperity! Thank you for your effort to tell the stories of those who are left voiceless because of some people's cruelty with so much respect and compassion.
Happy New Year! Found your channel a month and a half ago and have been hooked and binge-watching. It's amazing how much content you create with such incredible quality. Thank you for your respect for the victims and such amazing videos :)
I can say that I discovered coffeehouse crime years ago. I've lost many of my old UA-cam and Google accounts, hell even phone's. But Everytime I get a new one he's the first account I follow again lol. I've never lost that need for him to post. He's my favorite crime UA-cam channel
but aren't you a bit too late ?How will you cover all this ?I watch for one year and a half .it's the only way to cope with the sad content .I don't know if this kind of bind watching is good plus you won't have the time to reflect on each story .Two ✌️ times per week it's good max four .Trust me .
I can totally see why! So well spoken and covers the cases with respect and very thoroughly! Before I had only ever been listening to one true crime (Sword and Scale)
Hi Adrian and friends I just wanted to let you know that wondered for a week or two why I wasn’t getting messages that you had videos coming out and I had been unsubscribed. Trust me, I would never unsubscribe to this channel. I love it. So just to let you know, you might want to make another announcement to inform people that for whatever reason, we are being unsubscribed from UA-cam channels. By the way, happy new year and I hope you’re having a great one.
“It’s not up to you who your partner hangs out with?” Fukumean? 😂
I don’t drink coffee much, so I call it “Tea Time with Coffeehouse Crime!” Thank you for your amazing and thoughtful videos!
This story made me so sad 😞 Valentina was so selfless and was doing everything to give her family a better life. It’s not fair how this monster took everything away from her and left his previous family with nothing when they needed it most. Such a selfish disgusting creature he is, I hope he suffers in prison. Anyone who follows Tate is a red flag, if you know someone that does run away
1/8/24....SUCH A SAD STORY OF A VIVACIOUS BEAUTIFUL/TALENTED YOUNG EXOTIC LATINA WHO HAD A LOVING FAMILY + ENJOYED LIFE TO THE FULLEST!
Absolutely agree. Andrew Tate is such a big red flag!
I had never heard of him before, thanks for bringing that ray of sunshine into my life, I think the only thing more sickening than what he spews is that he makes five million/month spewing it [per BBC] anyway, I guess it's something for the incels to cling to the world is becoming a very mean, shallow place, sad to see @@itsomethingreat
I’m sorry but I do not agree with Tate but how is that a red flag for murder or physical abuse? And why even push that narrative while giving Tate a mention… stick to the evidence. Don’t try to multitask reporting a case in detail and throwing in a name of someone completely not involved in the case. Sad and cowardice way to get more views and likes
@@mayracamarena412 the anti-women vitriol he speaks and his influence on men is problematic. It’s fine if you don’t agree but it is problematic to me and others. The way he expresses himself screams anger issues
My heart goes out to her family. 💔 John's former family has been through a lot of trauma, too. 😥 He is toxic.
Yes, she cheated on him and was probably looking at $$, but little did she know what he was capable of. What a horrible way to go. 💔
That's what happens when you choose to sell yourself instead of having standards.
@@HelloKitty-pe4ho You can have any standards you prefer, that won't save you from narcissists and psychopaths. They will make the fact that you're even breathing air seem like your fault entirely.
Bro serving 42 years in a colombian jail. He is definitely paying hard for the crime.
We definitely need an update on this case once he goes to trial. What a sad story.
