😮Most will only watch,a very few will Act. I don't believe he was reckless or crazy, rather He Was Brave and probably making sure it didn't go any further than what had already happened. This is a sad story for sure.

When I was 13, my brother was 16. Long story short -he was the nicest person ever. He developed paranoid schizophrenia. And went from that to chasing my father through the house with a axe, because he thought we were all out to get him. There were many many unexplainable behaviors that ended up in a tortured life. He never killed anyone, but he was in a prison in his mind for his entire life. Thanks for covering this. These people aren’t evil, they are sick.
Sounds like he was at the age when paranoid schizophrenia emerges. I worked in mental health and had a man on my caseload who was absolutely convinced that his mother was working with the CIA against him - at one point he punched out her car window and tried to strangle her. When he was hospitalized and medicated, he was completely horrified about what he had done. If this young man has the same illness, he may very well be devastated now if he's been medicated. Tragic.
💜 SADLY, THIS IS WHAT CAME TO MY MIND AS WELL. HE WAS AT THE AGE WHEN PARANOID SCHIZOPHRENIA STARTS TO DEVELOP. SO TRAGIC! MAY HIS FATHER, MOTHER, SISTER & LITTLE BROTHER REST IN ETERNAL PEACE 🕊🙏💜💜💜
Also religion, too much or brainwashed by the church can cause a person with mental health issues to see things in a distorted way. Maybe he had too much religion in his life. Teens don't have Jesus as a cell phone cover. Going to church on Tues, etc...
100% agreed, and its only getting more extreme with higher populations and more advanced technology. I get we all need our freedoms but I think some laws need some modifications to account for the cases where the freedom of the mentally unwell impede the freedoms of others. Too many want help but dont even know they need it
I think you mean a global *crisis* ; a pandemic is a disease that spreads from person to person and can be carried globally. Mental illness doesn't spread. It's not contagious. It *is* a global crisis though, as people all over the world suffer from different types of mental health issues.
I had two friends who were both perfectly kind, intelligent, generous people before developing severe paranoid schizophrenia in their mid-twenties. One of them passed away while trying to commit a violent crime against someone who he loved, seemingly on a whim. She doesnt hold it against him and is adamant that it wasnt really "him" who hurt her, because she says in his last days he was too sick to be able to control his actions. My other friend is still alive, but its kind of like he's dead. He went from a funny, sarcastic, chill guy to being scary and violent and not safe to be around. His ex told me that she just feels really bad for him because she knows that hes literally scared out of his mind all the time. She says that inside his head, he's just absolutely terrified and cant understand why. He became convinced that his whole family were conspiring against him and had abused him and committed all kinds of sinister crimes, and he would talk about going to go kill them a lot. Shes safe and she left him and his family knows the situation so that's all anybody can do. Its terrifying that your own brain can just turn on you like that and transform you into a violent threat against those you love the most. Obviously most people with schizophrenia aren't violent-- I know plenty of other people with schizophrenia and similar disorders who are absolutely great and are living life the best they can and dealing with their problems as well as they can deal with them. But I've also known people who have been just utterly destroyed by this disorder, to the point where they are no longer themselves. Its incredibly tragic.
@@azazello1784that is a disgusting thing to say. Maybe think twice before speaking nonsense. Caesar was sick, he had a mental illness. Of course that doesn’t excuse his actions. But wishing ill on the dead with the attitude “you deserve it” makes you the sickest one here.
All IMBICILES American will come after me but which Developed countries ypu hear a a 3 old Baby accidentally killing his or her Mother.. 3nd COMMANDMENTS SO FOLISH!
"They made the decision to force their way in" THANK YOU. I am tired of worried friends and family just not doing anything. I always say, a broken window means next to nothing when someone could be potentially dying inside. What if they had a stroke and need medical attention?
Totally ! "Weird, no one's here when they *definitely* should be... Well, I'll call again in 5h !" Even just snooping around and checking inside could let you see if maybe something's wrong.
Same with CPS, DCFS, police welfare checks, and more. So many cases of bad situations going-on and the authorities barely try to get in, or they believe whatever excuses they’re given. If they’re given anything.
I'd say it depends on the situation and how well you know the person and their daily routine. That would suck if you broke something to get access inside the house only to find out the reason why they couldn't answer the front door due to a fierce battle they were having on the toilet seat.
I am so glad Adrian is so respectful of what’s happening; considering the case is so new, openly sharing opinion on the motive of the killer and the believability of his mental state without over exaggerating is something not many true crime UA-camrs do

I couldn't imagine being the remaining sister 😢 To lose your parents and two siblings to murder and to lose your living brother because he's the one that took everyone away from you. It's heartbreaking 💔
True but with time, she will feel better. Plus receiving the house, her parent's retirement savings, and a large chunk of that gofundme money will definitely make her feel better
I can't imagine the absolute fear the dad's friend must have felt walking into that situation. It's pretty amazing what he did, I agree I'd say it's heroic. Heartbreaking all round, definitely staying tuned for updates
Paranoid schizophrenia was my first thought when I heard he believed his family were cannibals who were going to eat him. Also, when he killed his family, he did it as he perceived it, as self-defense. It will be interesting to see how this case turns out.
Could be, but a curious fact is that he fired multiple shots at his mom, but the others only once each. The mom was clearly the target of his rage or psychotic issues. The others were merely collateral damage. That taints the cannibal story/insanity argument to me.
@getgroovee6296 I am a mother of child who had paranoia schizophrenia. The therapist told me that whoever is the closest, their the ones who are most likely to be the most hated and the main target of the attack
Unlikely since he was lying to his parents about doing well at university. He didn't want to have to work so he killed everyone thinking he'd have everything to himself without having to work.
One of the reasons I love Coffeehouse Crime is because you cover the high profile cases and stories like this which are so disturbing but I have literally never heard of? I can't believe this happened this year.
Yeah it’s crazy cause he went to my school. He was a good friend of my sister and almost everyone who knew him said he was a really nice guy and wasn’t the type to do such a thing. Crazy how life works huh? It be the people u Least expect
So there is an elder daughter Diana who, along with Cesar, survives this awful tragedy. My thoughts are with all of the victims and also Diana, what a dreadful weight she must be carrying right now, I hope she has good support around her. 💙
Giving credit to a man confronted with a difficult situation for his unselfish and heroic actions, is very cool, many wouldve left out. Great respect you show the victim and suspect, and you brought understanding of our legal "definition" of criminally insane.
I find it interesting that he offered to shoot himself if the officers didn't kill him. Yet, he was afraid that his family might kill and eat him. I feel so sorry for the family and also for Cesar. He must have some horrible demons running through his head. I knew a young woman who seemed normal by quiet but, in her late teens had a break from reality. Thank you, Adrian, for telling this story.
that last "...or else I'll put salt in your coffee" was so random i almost choked on my own coffee 😂 great video as always! love how the main characters of the stories aren't just the perpetrators but mostly the victims, unlike some true crime which highlights more on the perpetrators. I listen to these as a podcast on my way to work so I only catch the videos 9hrs after they're posted every time 😂 sending love and support from Malaysia ✨
To grow up in a relatively normal family and then kill them, I can't imagine anything other than he really lost his shit for a moment. To believe his family would eat him must've been terrifying for him, and he probly hid some mental illness red flags from his parents, or they were neglected. Perhaps they could've been saved if he was counseled earlier on. Look forward to more details about this case and how it unfolds.
I doubt they neglected him. They are the victims here. He most likely was going through something he didn’t think anyone would listen. Plus Oliver was only 5, he couldn’t have neglected anything and I highly doubt his older sister would let her younger brother be sad if she could help. It sounds like this poor kid was suffering from something he didn’t understand and hopefully he gets some sort of help because thinking your family is gonna eat you after having a relatively nice childhood seems more like a mental health crisis than my family neglected my feelings.
@calli5106 he may of developed paranoid schizophrenia or something along those lines. As you said, I doubt the family neglected him. They have of not even know.
@@gl00myb3ars 💜 YES, I ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH YOU. IF HE HAS ANY TYPE OF MENTAL ILLNESS, I'D WOULD AGREE ALONG THE LINES OF PARANOID SCHIZOPHRENIA. ESPECIALLY SINCE HE HAD THOUGHTS OF HIS FAMILY OUT TO "GET HIM" THEN "EAT HIM" PRAYERS FOR HIS SURVIVING OLDER SISTER 😥🙏💜
he wasnt neglected. i live where this happened. it was said he was just very depressed and kinda solo. i didn't know him but i have friends who did and thats what they say. i met his family at the fair and i cant remember if i met him or not but they were wonderful people.
I personally think it is mighty convenient that his mental episode magically ceased immediately after he murdered his family and not himself. I don’t believe him and find that many people now know that mental health can be leveraged in their favor so they add it to their planning process
It’s so sad the older sibling is left with burying her family 💔 my mothers funeral was $30,000 alone I cannot begin to imagine how the older sister feels. My god 🥲💔 R.I.P to the loved ones lost!
WHY??? Thats utterly ridiculous!! It was 1,700 for my moms cremation..its what SHE wanted knowing what a total scam & waste of $ the whole funeral burial bs is!! Its all about social/ religious pressure...plus its just gross!! The headstone was another 1500. The people who took your money laughed all the way to the bank😮
I absolutely love your videos. You talk about the lives and personalities of the victims and the suspects in a way that completely describes them perfectly. We get a good feel for who everyone is in every situation you cover. One of the best true crime channels on this app!
Thanks Adrian. What a horrific experience for the family. I suspect Cesar has a mental illness which was not diagnosed. Sadly often families don’t, or don’t want to, recognize symptoms in their own children. On another note, those poor cows. Another reason to ban factory farms.
Congratulations on getting to where you are now! Almost hitting 2 million is quite the achievement. I found your channel late last year and have been following since then, looking forward to new releases every week. Keep up the good work!
Adrian, it makes my heart so happy to hear you joking around. This is just... so sad. I can't imagine how scared the entire family must have been. I'll try to follow the case to its end because I'm split between Cesar being mentally ill and the idea he may be faking it (no evidence was presented but what motive would he have?). I feel sorry for the survivor. She's going to need therapy and help.
I agree with you in that I really don't know what to think about Cesar's reasons for doing this. I don't think we have enough information about what was going on in his head at that time. I will be watching out for updates on this case.
Always great to listen to your channel. There are quite a few South African cases worth venturing into: The Modimole Monster The Griekwastad murders; and The Krugersdorp murders. To mention only a few. Love your channnel
I work as a medical interpreter for the US and I have interpreted several young people believing and not being able to concieve other idea that everyone else around, any other human in a room might want to eat them. I really hope he gets the help he needs not only for himself but for the family who just never thought these things might happen.
This story just utterly breaks my heart. The beautiful smiles on this family... that little boy. What a tragedy. Poor Diana... I hope she has a good support system to help her through this terrible event.
What I really love about Adrian is his soothing voice and sharp digital images that juxtaposes horrific content with an aesthetic calmness. This really sets him apart from other channels that opt to use deep voiced narratives and spooky sound effects.
He’s clearly ill. Unfortunately, often the diagnosis of schizophrenia is resisted under age 18 and families try to hope their way out of the obvious. It’s terrible for everyone.
He fired multiple shots at his mom, but the others only once each. The mom was clearly the target of his anger/issues. The others were merely collateral damage. He won’t get to use the insanity plea.
My theory is that he was a depressed loner who was jealous of his sister and perhaps even thought the parents loved her more of gave her special treatment. I think he knew what he was doing. He didn't kill the visitor because he didn't hate the visitor.
Adrian, thanks for always telling these tragic stories so respectfully! 🙏 Please keep up the good work, as a professional cameraman and video editor for over 18 years now I highly appreciate the high-quality production and the great storytelling! 👏 Best regards from Germany 🇩🇪, Philipp 👋
How terrible for everyone involved. Although schizophrenia is more commonly diagnoised in one's 20s, it can happen in younger people, and is known to develop in some people in their teens. I am not an expert, but this is one of those cases where a medical condition seems likely to be a root cause. I can't image the terror developing the sudden belief my loved ones intended to kill me, nor what steps, in such a state, I might take. Just appallingly sad for all involved.
Wow absolutely sad. I appreciate all the research you do to deliver these horrible cases to us. Sending you and Nero soooo much love from Wyoming USA ❤
We live across a family who's oldest son is apparently suffering from some type of mental issues. Because he's in his twenties, he often refuses to take his meds and will wind up in the street outside his home causing a disturbance. I've seen the cops outside their home a few times and I worry sometimes that the family will wind up dead or seriously injured because of him.
I was a Texas Longhorn cheerleader and just hearing you say home of the Texas Longhorns (not Texas Aggies) feels like such a huge HOME RUN!!! Made my day! I live in Ireland, now but I will always have a huge heart for Austin. Best city in Texas!!! Long your content…❤❤
I know it's going to be a good morning when there's a new coffee house crime video. Thank you for putting these out, these cases need so much more recognition
Hi Adrian. I love how respectful and sympathetic you are when it comes to sharing these cases. I appreciate how much work you put into researching these cases as well. Your fan from the Caribbean Island of Antigua and Barbuda 🇦🇬
Usually a psychiatric break occurs around young adulthood 17-24ish. It sounds like a case of paranoid schizophrenia. For those that don’t understand schizophrenia, it’s when a person loses touch with reality. He may have had it for a longer period of time, but just flew under the radar. So terrible that a tragedy had to occur, before knowing the extent of his mental illness. May the people involved find solace during these trying times. 😢
I have a couple of cases that i learned about a while ago, first one being my boyfriend's uncle, Robert Holliday, who was murdered by a man names Lee John Knoch and his girlfriend Amanda in Oregon. I couldn't find much info on it and would like to know more about it.... And another case i learned about back in highschool through a 3 part HBO documentary series called Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills
Fabulous as usual Adrian, thank you. This reminds me of the case of Sonny Kim, a 16 year old who killed his sister for no apparent reason, it was a happy and loving home. He intended to kill his parents too, but didn’t reload the gun correctly so they survived. It’s an unusual and fascinating case you may enjoy.
Heyy! Would you consider doing a video on my friend margarita’s murder. It happened in Toronto. She went missing for a week then found her on the side of a road in uxbridge. They never released her cause of death. The worst part is that they know who did it but can’t find him because he is a “drifter” from Afghanistan.
Family annihilators normally claim insanity, but underneath it all their is usually a selfish reason. The fact that all but his mother were killed with one shot, while she had multiple shots leads one to believe there mat have been an anger issue, buried in the crazy.
You are by far my favorite TC channel of all time. Thanks for all you do and please keep em coming ❤. If at all possible, would you consider doing the case of Kevin Davis from Corpus Christi, TX?
As a 27-year-old Latino man who grew up in Texas, I'm not sure why someone would kill their own family. There were times when I didn't get along with my father because he wanted me to dress a certain way or to live through tradition and his expectations, but none of that had ever given me any idea of wanting to kill him, then again, we all work in different ways. My mother was a great person, very caring, and was always nice to me and my younger brother, she was born in Texas though, as my father was born in Mexico. Maybe this guy was dealing with a mental illness or was under extreme stress and he cracked under pressure? Being Mexican I can tell you that we definitely do not have it easy, if anything our parents expect us to do better than them, as they were forced to work as they couldn't afford school or they had to drop out due to life getting in the way. They expect us to dress a certain way, act a certain way, and overall, follow their orders and be respectful. As a teen growing up, I pretty much disliked my father, as we got into arguments about tons of trivial things that never mattered in the first place. My taste of music for example was much different than his, as he was into corridos and cumbia, but that type of music never caught my eye. I was more into Slayer, Avicii, Chief Keef, Death, Skrillex, Three6Mafia, and sometimes it would go even further than just music. Sometimes my father disliked the things I would wear, as in graphic metal t-shirts that displayed inverted crosses, death, and war topics, and he would even complain about me stretching my earlobes, as he considered them ugly. Basically, in high school, I was your typical metalhead, who wore everything black and was a nerd who enjoyed comics, video games, and anime, it got to the point where I moved out of my parent's house and decided to stay with a friend for 6 months at his place. Yes, my father would call me from time to time wanting to know where I was, but I wouldn't tell him, and I'd just let him know that I didn't want to be near him for the time being. He would even question my career choices; From wanting to be a bassist in a metal band to being a UA-camr and to disliking the idea of me wanting to be a pro gamer. Even now, he thinks I should be a nurse instead of a computer programmer, but being a nurse doesn't really seem all that interesting to me and programmers make more money. I don't know, as I said before me and my father were complete opposites, but I'd never kill my mother or my father. My younger brother is someone I hold dear to me, so ofc I would never kill him either. If this guy killed his family because he assumed they were going to eat him, then he might be under some mental illness or mental stress, cause none of that makes sense to me. I'm a cool and collected person, always overthinking every aspect of life around me, and to kill my own family I'd have to be under some heavy drug usage to do something that crazy and stupid.
I feel bad because I can kind of understand why Caesar felt the way he did. Not justifying his actions, but around that age I developed extreme paranoid delusions. They were episodic but intense and terrifying. Some included my friends and family being replaced by copies that looked identical and wanted to murder me brutally after betraying me. Even when I had lucid moments, it felt real and horrifying but my way of coping with it was by locking myself away until the episode passed. I feel truly awful for his sister who's still surviving but I also hope he gets the help he needs. genuinely sounds delusional and needs treatment.
Thanks Adrian, for always presenting these cases with the respect they deserve. Just one thought about this boy's delusion. If it was real to him, it's not surprising that he stopped once the family members were dead, as his delusion was centered around them being cannibals, not everyone. He may have felt he'd taken care of the threat. Just a thought people, something to consider. Not an opinion on guilt or innocence. A conversation starter👋
First time I'm catching a video this early! :D So far absolutely enjoying the story, as per usual. You're definitely my favourite true crime channel, hands down! And since you offered to answer questions within the first hour of the video being up, I've got one: As someone who's absolutely not a fan of coffee, am I allowed in to your coffeehouse too? I'm down for tea, if that helps 🤭
Love your content so much and every time you say "grab yourself a coffee" i gotta pause the video, make a cup of coffee and then come back to watch it 🤣
This is so obviously a case of severe mental illness. Executing the only surviving son does nothing to honour the victims of this tragedy. I hope he gets the help and love he needs and recovers.
Always up for a case from you Adrian! Thanks for all the hard work & respect you put into each case! Much appreciated! Much ♥️& all the best CHC including Nero! All I can say bout this case is it’s truly tragic & I hope the family & friends can find some peace somehow. Wow.
Wow, this case hits close to me. Cause I'm from Texarkana,Texas, and a crime of this caliber is rare last time we had a crime of this level of brutality was a serial killer known as The Phantom Killer back in 1946, and the Red River Depot is a part of our daily lives it's not uncommon to see a 18-wheeler hauling tanks or hummers heading down highway 82 ever day

Right all the other channels just cover the same ones
Yeah it’s crazy cause he went to my school. He was a good friend of my sister and almost everyone who knew him said he was a really nice guy and wasn’t the type to do such a thing. Crazy how life works huh? It be the people u Least expect
They have been high cases in other countries, that's why you didn't hear it in the news where you live.
I truly appreciate Adrian’s ability to keep the victims as the focus when covering these stories
So there is an elder daughter Diana who, along with Cesar, survives this awful tragedy. My thoughts are with all of the victims and also Diana, what a dreadful weight she must be carrying right now, I hope she has good support around her. 💙
Giving credit to a man confronted with a difficult situation for his unselfish and heroic actions, is very cool, many wouldve left out. Great respect you show the victim and suspect, and you brought understanding of our legal "definition" of criminally insane.
I can’t imagine how the oldest sibling is feeling. I hope they are ok and find peace one day.
I find it interesting that he offered to shoot himself if the officers didn't kill him. Yet, he was afraid that his family might kill and eat him. I feel so sorry for the family and also for Cesar. He must have some horrible demons running through his head. I knew a young woman who seemed normal by quiet but, in her late teens had a break from reality. Thank you, Adrian, for telling this story.
that last "...or else I'll put salt in your coffee" was so random i almost choked on my own coffee 😂 great video as always! love how the main characters of the stories aren't just the perpetrators but mostly the victims, unlike some true crime which highlights more on the perpetrators. I listen to these as a podcast on my way to work so I only catch the videos 9hrs after they're posted every time 😂 sending love and support from Malaysia ✨
in Viietnam, some places do put a little salt in the coffee and some like it that way
To grow up in a relatively normal family and then kill them, I can't imagine anything other than he really lost his shit for a moment. To believe his family would eat him must've been terrifying for him, and he probly hid some mental illness red flags from his parents, or they were neglected. Perhaps they could've been saved if he was counseled earlier on. Look forward to more details about this case and how it unfolds.
I doubt they neglected him. They are the victims here. He most likely was going through something he didn’t think anyone would listen. Plus Oliver was only 5, he couldn’t have neglected anything and I highly doubt his older sister would let her younger brother be sad if she could help. It sounds like this poor kid was suffering from something he didn’t understand and hopefully he gets some sort of help because thinking your family is gonna eat you after having a relatively nice childhood seems more like a mental health crisis than my family neglected my feelings.
@calli5106 he may of developed paranoid schizophrenia or something along those lines. As you said, I doubt the family neglected him. They have of not even know.
@@gl00myb3ars 💜 YES, I ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH YOU. IF HE HAS ANY TYPE OF MENTAL ILLNESS, I'D WOULD AGREE ALONG THE LINES OF PARANOID SCHIZOPHRENIA. ESPECIALLY SINCE HE HAD THOUGHTS OF HIS FAMILY OUT TO "GET HIM" THEN "EAT HIM" PRAYERS FOR HIS SURVIVING OLDER SISTER 😥🙏💜
he wasnt neglected. i live where this happened. it was said he was just very depressed and kinda solo. i didn't know him but i have friends who did and thats what they say. i met his family at the fair and i cant remember if i met him or not but they were wonderful people.
@@magalym4201 💜 YES, THEY SOUNDED LIKE A LOVELY FAMILY. THIS IS SO TRAGIC 😢
Always a good,well researched story told by a fellow coffee-holic, with sincere empathy and care for the victims.
Stale🥴
I personally think it is mighty convenient that his mental episode magically ceased immediately after he murdered his family and not himself. I don’t believe him and find that many people now know that mental health can be leveraged in their favor so they add it to their planning process
Still, he claimed self defense. Person acting in (what is perceived as) self defense is usually not really suicidal 🤷♀️
Yeah literally everyone nowadays try’s to use this a a justification it’s so hard to believe
It’s so sad the older sibling is left with burying her family 💔 my mothers funeral was $30,000 alone I cannot begin to imagine how the older sister feels. My god 🥲💔 R.I.P to the loved ones lost!
WHY??? Thats utterly ridiculous!! It was 1,700 for my moms cremation..its what SHE wanted knowing what a total scam & waste of $ the whole funeral burial bs is!! Its all about social/ religious pressure...plus its just gross!! The headstone was another 1500. The people who took your money laughed all the way to the bank😮
I absolutely love your videos. You talk about the lives and personalities of the victims and the suspects in a way that completely describes them perfectly. We get a good feel for who everyone is in every situation you cover. One of the best true crime channels on this app!
Adrian, you're so close to the 2M mark! I found your channel when it was still in its infancy. It's been great to see you grow this channel so much!
Same! It's been awesome to see the channel and Adrian grow. Seeing him gain confidence and polish his style. It's been a great journey! ✌️
Me too ❤❤ now I’m in the moshpit with millions 😂😂
Thanks for covering all the cases you do, Adrian. This was definitely a crazy one.
I’d love some foreign news. China, Korea,Japan, Uk,Ireland,Australia etc. in that order
I think that young man has some horrible mental health issues. Sounds like he may have bi-polar or skizophnia
22:07
@amberg4131 UK crime really isn't that interesting, thankfully, well unless you want peadophile ring story's 😅
Thanks Adrian. What a horrific experience for the family. I suspect Cesar has a mental illness which was not diagnosed. Sadly often families don’t, or don’t want to, recognize symptoms in their own children. On another note, those poor cows. Another reason to ban factory farms.
How sad. I do appreciate that you always approach these cases with fairness and empathy even for the perpetrator, thank you for that.
Thank you Adrian for all the effort you put in to your videos
My pleasure!
Congratulations on getting to where you are now! Almost hitting 2 million is quite the achievement. I found your channel late last year and have been following since then, looking forward to new releases every week. Keep up the good work!
Adrian is more than a content creator, he's a cultural phenomenon
Aw beautifully said, I hope he reads this 🤍
Adrian, it makes my heart so happy to hear you joking around.
This is just... so sad. I can't imagine how scared the entire family must have been. I'll try to follow the case to its end because I'm split between Cesar being mentally ill and the idea he may be faking it (no evidence was presented but what motive would he have?). I feel sorry for the survivor. She's going to need therapy and help.
I agree with you in that I really don't know what to think about Cesar's reasons for doing this. I don't think we have enough information about what was going on in his head at that time.
I will be watching out for updates on this case.
Always great to listen to your channel.
There are quite a few South African cases worth venturing into:
The Modimole Monster
The Griekwastad murders; and
The Krugersdorp murders.
To mention only a few.
Love your channnel
oh man, the Krugersdorp cult case is slightly insane. definitely deserves a video
I work as a medical interpreter for the US and I have interpreted several young people believing and not being able to concieve other idea that everyone else around, any other human in a room might want to eat them. I really hope he gets the help he needs not only for himself but for the family who just never thought these things might happen.
This story just utterly breaks my heart. The beautiful smiles on this family... that little boy. What a tragedy. Poor Diana... I hope she has a good support system to help her through this terrible event.
Yet another case that is shocking and tragic, presented with a wealth of understanding and balance. Thanks Adrian ❤️
That was a slick sponsor segment! I didn't know it was a commercial until halfway through, lol. Good work.
What I really love about Adrian is his soothing voice and sharp digital images that juxtaposes horrific content with an aesthetic calmness.
This really sets him apart from other channels that opt to use deep voiced narratives and spooky sound effects.
He’s clearly ill. Unfortunately, often the diagnosis of schizophrenia is resisted under age 18 and families try to hope their way out of the obvious. It’s terrible for everyone.
Not defending caesar, but it's possible that he had a psychotic break. Thank you to Adrian for covering this heartbreaking case. RIP to the family. 🙏❤
He fired multiple shots at his mom, but the others only once each. The mom was clearly the target of his anger/issues. The others were merely collateral damage. He won’t get to use the insanity plea.
Horrible event. Great video about what happened, respecting the victims as always. Thank you.
Everyday, this world makes me more and more confident in my decision to be child free.
Me too sister ✌️🥳
Me too🎉
My theory is that he was a depressed loner who was jealous of his sister and perhaps even thought the parents loved her more of gave her special treatment. I think he knew what he was doing. He didn't kill the visitor because he didn't hate the visitor.
Thank you Adrian, I love hearing you cover these sad cases. Love how respectful you do it all. Your so appreciated.
Adrian, thanks for always telling these tragic stories so respectfully! 🙏
Please keep up the good work, as a professional cameraman and video editor for over 18 years now I highly appreciate the high-quality production and the great storytelling! 👏
Best regards from Germany 🇩🇪, Philipp 👋
How terrible for everyone involved. Although schizophrenia is more commonly diagnoised in one's 20s, it can happen in younger people, and is known to develop in some people in their teens. I am not an expert, but this is one of those cases where a medical condition seems likely to be a root cause. I can't image the terror developing the sudden belief my loved ones intended to kill me, nor what steps, in such a state, I might take. Just appallingly sad for all involved.
You rock Adrian! Thanks for making these entertaining and super well-done true crime videos!
As a quiet person myself, it's the quiet ones that are the most dangerous

Wow absolutely sad. I appreciate all the research you do to deliver these horrible cases to us. Sending you and Nero soooo much love from Wyoming USA ❤
Just a bunch of illegal immigrants are taken out. No big loss.
We live across a family who's oldest son is apparently suffering from some type of mental issues. Because he's in his twenties, he often refuses to take his meds and will wind up in the street outside his home causing a disturbance. I've seen the cops outside their home a few times and I worry sometimes that the family will wind up dead or seriously injured because of him.
I was a Texas Longhorn cheerleader and just hearing you say home of the Texas Longhorns (not Texas Aggies) feels like such a huge HOME RUN!!! Made my day! I live in Ireland, now but I will always have a huge heart for Austin. Best city in Texas!!! Long your content…❤❤
I know it's going to be a good morning when there's a new coffee house crime video. Thank you for putting these out, these cases need so much more recognition
Hi Adrian. I love how respectful and sympathetic you are when it comes to sharing these cases. I appreciate how much work you put into researching these cases as well. Your fan from the Caribbean Island of Antigua and Barbuda 🇦🇬
Usually a psychiatric break occurs around young adulthood 17-24ish. It sounds like a case of paranoid schizophrenia. For those that don’t understand schizophrenia, it’s when a person loses touch with reality. He may have had it for a longer period of time, but just flew under the radar. So terrible that a tragedy had to occur, before knowing the extent of his mental illness. May the people involved find solace during these trying times. 😢
Thank you for the different crime stories you share. I was even pleasantly surprised that you even covered stories from South Africa. Love from 🇿🇦
Last time i came this early I ended up single.
Really? Gross!
Dude, ya gotta work on your skills!😉🤣
Is that a problem or a superpower?
BRO.....
Bruh 😂
I have a couple of cases that i learned about a while ago, first one being my boyfriend's uncle, Robert Holliday, who was murdered by a man names Lee John Knoch and his girlfriend Amanda in Oregon. I couldn't find much info on it and would like to know more about it.... And another case i learned about back in highschool through a 3 part HBO documentary series called Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills
Thank you so much for uploading, feel so sorry for the family for this story
Fabulous as usual Adrian, thank you. This reminds me of the case of Sonny Kim, a 16 year old who killed his sister for no apparent reason, it was a happy and loving home. He intended to kill his parents too, but didn’t reload the gun correctly so they survived. It’s an unusual and fascinating case you may enjoy.
Heyy! Would you consider doing a video on my friend margarita’s murder. It happened in Toronto. She went missing for a week then found her on the side of a road in uxbridge. They never released her cause of death. The worst part is that they know who did it but can’t find him because he is a “drifter” from Afghanistan.
Love your consistency, and not to mention the great content
made coffee as soon as i saw the notification.. love and appreciate your work, RIP to all the lost lives
Thanks for the uploads ❤ its definitely something to look forward to
I find your videos really interesting. I always enjoy watching them. Thank you for taking the time to tell the stories of these victims.
💜💜💜
Big love Adrian ❤ I am a gardener and your videos get me through it h work! Keep it up. Thanks man.
You’re one of few people I watch consistently. Great work!
at work, gonna watch this after, thanks for the uploads
Family annihilators normally claim insanity, but underneath it all their is usually a selfish reason. The fact that all but his mother were killed with one shot, while she had multiple shots leads one to believe there mat have been an anger issue, buried in the crazy.
Thanks for all you do Adrian! Me and my mum watch your videos all the time, it’s like a little tradition now haha. Love from 🏴
Thank you for another great post!
Thank you for always putting great content, Adrian!
I appreciate that!
You are by far my favorite TC channel of all time. Thanks for all you do and please keep em coming ❤. If at all possible, would you consider doing the case of Kevin Davis from Corpus Christi, TX?
Adrian , you are one my favorite storytellers. Keep up the great work!
Thank u 4 being such a genuinely kind and caring human sharing these horrendous stories
As a 27-year-old Latino man who grew up in Texas, I'm not sure why someone would kill their own family. There were times when I didn't get along with my father because he wanted me to dress a certain way or to live through tradition and his expectations, but none of that had ever given me any idea of wanting to kill him, then again, we all work in different ways.
My mother was a great person, very caring, and was always nice to me and my younger brother, she was born in Texas though, as my father was born in Mexico. Maybe this guy was dealing with a mental illness or was under extreme stress and he cracked under pressure?
Being Mexican I can tell you that we definitely do not have it easy, if anything our parents expect us to do better than them, as they were forced to work as they couldn't afford school or they had to drop out due to life getting in the way. They expect us to dress a certain way, act a certain way, and overall, follow their orders and be respectful.
As a teen growing up, I pretty much disliked my father, as we got into arguments about tons of trivial things that never mattered in the first place. My taste of music for example was much different than his, as he was into corridos and cumbia, but that type of music never caught my eye. I was more into Slayer, Avicii, Chief Keef, Death, Skrillex, Three6Mafia, and sometimes it would go even further than just music.
Sometimes my father disliked the things I would wear, as in graphic metal t-shirts that displayed inverted crosses, death, and war topics, and he would even complain about me stretching my earlobes, as he considered them ugly. Basically, in high school, I was your typical metalhead, who wore everything black and was a nerd who enjoyed comics, video games, and anime, it got to the point where I moved out of my parent's house and decided to stay with a friend for 6 months at his place.
Yes, my father would call me from time to time wanting to know where I was, but I wouldn't tell him, and I'd just let him know that I didn't want to be near him for the time being. He would even question my career choices; From wanting to be a bassist in a metal band to being a UA-camr and to disliking the idea of me wanting to be a pro gamer. Even now, he thinks I should be a nurse instead of a computer programmer, but being a nurse doesn't really seem all that interesting to me and programmers make more money.
I don't know, as I said before me and my father were complete opposites, but I'd never kill my mother or my father. My younger brother is someone I hold dear to me, so ofc I would never kill him either. If this guy killed his family because he assumed they were going to eat him, then he might be under some mental illness or mental stress, cause none of that makes sense to me. I'm a cool and collected person, always overthinking every aspect of life around me, and to kill my own family I'd have to be under some heavy drug usage to do something that crazy and stupid.
Will you ever cover a French case? We have plenty of interesting ones here that haven't received a lot of coverage in foreign countries I feel
Thank you Adrian for covering stories from all walks of life, more love from Africa, Malawi
I feel bad because I can kind of understand why Caesar felt the way he did. Not justifying his actions, but around that age I developed extreme paranoid delusions. They were episodic but intense and terrifying.
Some included my friends and family being replaced by copies that looked identical and wanted to murder me brutally after betraying me. Even when I had lucid moments, it felt real and horrifying but my way of coping with it was by locking myself away until the episode passed.
I feel truly awful for his sister who's still surviving but I also hope he gets the help he needs. genuinely sounds delusional and needs treatment.
Thanks Adrian, for always presenting these cases with the respect they deserve. Just one thought about this boy's delusion. If it was real to him, it's not surprising that he stopped once the family members were dead, as his delusion was centered around them being cannibals, not everyone. He may have felt he'd taken care of the threat. Just a thought people, something to consider. Not an opinion on guilt or innocence. A conversation starter👋
Yes, i thought the very same thing. Makes sense too
I'd love to see more cameos of your kitty! 😊
Been waiting for your new video!!! Thank you!
Thank you again for an informative story! I love the details about everyone you include!
Thank you for handling these stories with grace and respect for those involved, Adrian. There's a reason I watch every single video you release.
I totally agree with you! Not all true crime channel hosts have the empathy that they really should have.
First time I'm catching a video this early! :D
So far absolutely enjoying the story, as per usual. You're definitely my favourite true crime channel, hands down!
And since you offered to answer questions within the first hour of the video being up, I've got one: As someone who's absolutely not a fan of coffee, am I allowed in to your coffeehouse too? I'm down for tea, if that helps 🤭
Adrian you rock. Thank you for the quality content.
Well done...again Adrian!!
Love your content so much and every time you say "grab yourself a coffee" i gotta pause the video, make a cup of coffee and then come back to watch it 🤣
There's always time to grab a cup and appreciate hearing someone's story
This is so obviously a case of severe mental illness. Executing the only surviving son does nothing to honour the victims of this tragedy.
I hope he gets the help and love he needs and recovers.
If he recovers, he will probably commit unalive because of the horrors he unleashed.
Love your content Adrian and your delivery of these stories. Top tier stuff! 👌🏾🐐
Found your channel a few days ago. Fantastic content! Gonna take a bit to watch all your earlier videos, but I'm on it 😂
Always up for a case from you Adrian! Thanks for all the hard work & respect you put into each case! Much appreciated! Much ♥️& all the best CHC including Nero! All I can say bout this case is it’s truly tragic & I hope the family & friends can find some peace somehow. Wow.
Jo, you are my Favorite. Thank you for your hard endeavours.. Much appreciated and gratirude
Love the channel Adrian. Coffeehouse Crimes is definitely one the best true crime channels on the web. Thx for all ur hard work
Wow, this case hits close to me. Cause I'm from Texarkana,Texas, and a crime of this caliber is rare last time we had a crime of this level of brutality was a serial killer known as The Phantom Killer back in 1946, and the Red River Depot is a part of our daily lives it's not uncommon to see a 18-wheeler hauling tanks or hummers heading down highway 82 ever day
Hey Adrian! My GF and I are huge fans.. does doing this ever start to weigh on you? Like staring into the abyss kind of thing?
Thanks again!
How sad. Thank you Adrian.
So very sad. Hi Adrian. Me and my husband look forward to sitting with a cuppa and watch your series. Thanks for your hard work ❤
Good afternoon adrian! thank you as always for putting so much emphasis on the victims! one of the reasons i love this channel so much.
