I grew up in a small town where everyone knew each other. When I was about 8 years old, I saw a man with a cane who dragged one leg when he walked. I asked my Mother what was wrong with him and she told me that he had tried to kill himself and had not succeeded. Then I asked her why he had tried to kill himself, and she told me that his girlfriend had broken up with him. I remember saying that he must have really loved her to do that. Then she said something that I’ll never forget. She said “No, he was mentally ill. That’s not something you do when you love someone.”
People get back with their exes all the time. If you find a new love interest and then they die...your mind is either gonna travel to the future or the past. So if one still has fond memories of a past relationship, the idea really of reuniting with an ex isn't completely outside the realm of possibility.
It sounds nuts, but it’s not like it hasn’t happened before. At one point in time, it was probably not an uncommon step in courting the girl of your dreams! 👰🏻🌻
Mike, I could watch you all day everyday! Your a the funniest guy I know. Love your channel and your sense of humour. I'm only up the road from you as well, if the ol wife didnt mind I'd love a catch up and a yarn about some of these fascinating cases. I'd settle for a chat digitally if possible🤷♀️ just living for your channel . Make something fun happen and get back to me ya crazy eejit 😂 drinks are on me 🍻 come on chum! Andrea 😁😊
I like how how in some departments the police wasn't born yesterday but in others when they are handling cases it seems like they were literally spawned into existence that day lol
Jesus that guy is terrifying... every time he talks about that night he smiles, smirks and chuckles the whole time! It's not a nervous smile, it's a proud smile.
Seriously freaky. You think he would try and act panicked if he had really accidently killed his friend like he claimed?! Any normal person would feel so guilty?? But instead he just shows how happy and calm he is. Disgusting and terrifying
I've watched so many of these vids that if I'm at Walmart checkout and I see a dude buying a shovel, the possibility that he may just be going home to do some gardening doesn't cross my mind.
"The way people get caught is they kill someone they know" Well Pedro, they also get caught by recording their entire murder plot. . . on paper. . . while in jail
Hey Angie what would you do if you just broke up with a boyfriend and immediately he started a relationship with your best friend? Would she still be a best friend? Is that respectful or rubbing salt 🧂 of someone’s wounds?
For someone who overthinks that fucking much, you think he’d think a little harder about murdering a lady and writing his Creep Queen diary all about it
Three reasons why I now watch That Chapter instead of other true crime channels: 1 Mike is witty and hilarious. 2 Mike speaks at a good pace. Other UA-camrs talk and talk and don't take a breath, leaving me feeling tired after listening to them. 3 Mike's video is concise with relevant images and video clips.
@@SupportMensMentalHealth he does in depth analysis of police interrogation's. Great stuff, but long times between uploads. You should check out his channel.
@@SupportMensMentalHealth, I agree. He’s the complete opposite of Mike, but dives deep into police interrogations. He’s got quite the cult following as well. Definitely worth a view.
His journal is like him writing out how to act like a regular human being. Even his walk to the stand is like "I will walk to the stand, confident but not too confident......"
Pedro Bravo reminds me of Norman Bates (Psycho). At the end of the movie, Norman Bates is sitting in the police station and there's a fly in his hand, and he is saying:" They see, she would not even harm a fly!" Pedro Bravo wants to appear extremely inconspicuous and that makes him very suspicious!
Yeah he was cringey on the stand. And did you see some of the things he wrote in his journal like "get my eyebrowns down at the mall!" when talking about how to get her back. Lol what a weasel.
I know right. Wtf kind of defense is that?! If you're not guilty, why would you sit there and smirk like that while talking about your dead friend? He seemed happy to be able to kill him and hurt her.
Whatever you do, don't try insulting anyone by telling them they're "tick and tree planks". If they're Irish, they'll break your nose, and if not they'll take the mickey out of you for your accent...;-D
God damn, he was so obsessed with her/possessive, he couldn’t even call her Christian’s girlfriend in the police interview. Dude had to change it to, “The girl Christian had a crush on.”
It’s mind boggling to me that Christian was dating Bravos ex. I’ve been alive long enough to know that some people are crazy and that you never mess with certain things if you want to guarantee nothing bad will happen to you. Don’t mess with anyone’s wife, girlfriend, money or livelihood. People will kill you over those things. And dating your friends ex is also on the list of things I personally wouldn’t do.
@@ErolDotCom Especially when people do something like that, that will put those people straight to jail life or the death penalty. This is why people need to start thinking twice before they do something to another person
I was a student at UF during the time that Christian went missing. Still remember seeing all his missing posters on the way to chemistry class or the library. My heart breaks for his family.
I would never understand people who pay for murder instruments with card, or keeps the receipts. Pay with cash, burn the receipt, actually, just don’t kill people.
@@milovarquiel a lot of construction sites have video surveillance that could record your face or license plate. But yes, always pay cash, and destroy the murder weapon.
@@velvetjonez06 Exactly, I was thinking the same thing. They both were snakes for sneaking around his back like that. Didn't deserve to die though and may he RIP but it was still wrong on their part.
"Whenever I murder somebody I keep all my receipts for any and all tools used and make detailed plans and drawings in one of my many journals to make sure I follow the procedure correctly. I always make sure I'm the last person seen with the victim and that I have an obvious and easily discernible motive." - Kind regards, Pedro
I hate the stigma associated with people providing testimony in murder trials. The guy did the right thing testifying and assisted in putting a murderer away. Quit it with that “snitch” nonsense.
@@MrRyan-wu4jx I don't believe J Smalls meant it in that kind of way. In this context it's not quite the same as an informant getting a drug dealer arrested. The witness was a gang member, if he had "snitched" on a dealer, it would be quite different, and chances are that he wouldn't "snitch" on a dealer. But I digress. Some words just mean different things in different contexts.
@@ObnoxiousCamoToe Yea I agree. It's not so black and white sometimes. If it was something that could potentially get him or his family killed he probably would of been hesitant, but I also understand where they were coming from too. Being a snitch is a stigma and it shouldn't be that. I'm glad that guy spoke up.
@@ObnoxiousCamoToe not sure what you’re getting at. Anybody providing relevant information on a dangerous criminal, and drug dealers are VERY dangerous criminals responsible for deaths, in court testimony did the right thing.
What a fool , couldn't handle the psychological pressure of an average looking girl.( come on she wasn't even that pretty or interesting looking) maybe she was his first and now his last...
@@willesco5211 She's a beauty queen compared to inadequate little squirt Pedro! But this story is not about the girl or her looks - it's about some males' huge entitlement and need to control females (I realise there are some obsessive females too, but this kind of crime, like all violent crime, is overwhelmingly committed by male perpetrators). Males like Pedro refuse to accept a woman's rejection. They should grow up learning boundaries and respecting other people's right to reject them. Yes rejection is tough but every human being goes through it sometime and learning to develop a thick skin and move on is a sign of maturity. Erica was free to date whoever she liked, she ended her relationship with Pedro and was not cheating on him. But he was a highly dangerous psychopath, capable of murder. Sadly they often look like him - inadequate and unimpressive. That's what makes them so dangerous, people don't realise what they're capable of. Christian made the mistake of getting into his car and it would cost him his life. Erica is actually very lucky to be alive - in most cases it's the female subject of the crazy's obsession who gets murdered.
Yeah. this is all too common for teenagers. he's still at the stage and age where he hasn't caught on to the fact that everyone around him likely has a degree of competence and don't have rocks kicking around in their heads.
Murderer's to do list: Buy a shovel Buy duct tape Find a place to dump the body GET RID OF ACNE Discard the evidence This nut really had a lot on his mind...
Michał he should cut all sugar from his diet while he is in prison, pretty sure that will work for him. Mind you acne might be a benefit for him in prison.
Lol ikr? It’s laughable. I sat and wondered, has that EVER worked??? Idk I mean, maybe there are couples out there who are together because the chain of events was secretly altered by murder of a rival by one of the two partners, and we never hear about those, by definition of them being successful. 😳 But yeah even if there were, I’m pretty sure they’re an extreme minority of cases.
Isn't it funny how Hollywood spends millions,and often times the end result isn't even entertaining. . Here's some guy just talking to the camera and I can't get enough!
I know right, in the last 2 weeks I have seen Black Window and Suicide Squad 2 and both movies weren't nearly as good as one video from Monsters JCS, or That Chapter.
Deadly teenaged "love" stories are so depressing. People, when you're 28, you will barely remember the people you dated in high school! Edited to add: Yes, I know you guys who are replying successfully married your high school sweetheart. That's still on the rare side, and my point is that obsessive teenage love like this isn't actual love- it's just infatuation. See: the plot of Romeo and Juilet, which made fun of it.
Let's be honest, if they plan to murder a person in the first place, why do you think they will want to have a lawyer present? They achieved their end goal, they have won.
Why don't people in jail ever think that their cellmates are informers? You just met someone, like, 2 weeks ago and you're unloading your darkest secrets to them. Weird.
Youre stuck in there, you have a lot on your mind, and you associate the people around you as being in the same circumstance. Everyone going in Im sure swears to tell themselves theyre not going to breath a word of it to anyone, but then...
it's not even the guilty conscience... it's the mental effects of being away and far... the walls the gates all these things of being locked away makes u talk because it's all freedom u do have left
My god, the girlfriend is very brave considering she pretty much knew Pedro was guilty of something bad. The fact she made him go to the police is smart and ballsy. She has my respect, and I hope she's doing OK.
@@DrJ-hx7wvyes she did the right thing about that but probably bad choice In a guy which led to murder but I can’t say anything I guess cause I’ve never been in love before and I’m not that crazy for a girl/boy that would literally murder and stuff
@Matt McEntyre but why would you need one or anything not attached to a phone? I just learned last week that apparently there used to be something called an iron for removing wrinkles from clothes. Who knew? I just use the app all of my life
Here’s a tip: if you want the jury to believe you it’s probably best not to smile and laugh as you describe leaving your “friend” on the side of the road left for dead
Everyone ain't that stupid. Granted, there are those that are easily swayed, you will likely just make yourself look stupid and aggravate individuals that know better.
Its not like you imagine it. But yes, absolutly every input that reaches the phone is getting recorded. Not by some special software or the governtment spying on you, but by the phones system itself. That data isnt just available to the user or the smartphone company but has to be readed out by people who know how to do that.
@@derstoffausdemderjoghurtis Some of this information is available to the user, especially when you are going to submit some feedback in an app, there is a function that can be called to ask the user to choose which system logs they want to send along with the feedback.
Fun Fact, there really was a time in the mid-late 2000's when Siri would actually give you a list of options like that such as dumps, parks, etc when you asked her where to hide a body. But I guess that didn't go over well with police so at some point it changed to her saying, "I used to know how to answer that". I have no idea what she says now-a-days though, I'm way to nervous to try it with all the cyber-spying BS the government does, Siri would probably report you directly to the cops rather than joking about not knowing the answer anymore.
Person: "Siri, how can I dispose of a body" Siri: "I am calling 9-1-1 now. I have taken control of your vehicle. I have locked the doors and windows and I am self driving you to the nearest Police Station. Have a nice day!" 😱
Women need to realize that their exes well being, has nothing to do with them. If they're threatening you with their mental health, and suicide, you need to cut it off. You're not their mom.
If anybody threatens you with suicide, cut all connection immediately and never look back. It will save you from lot of trouble, this is a known tactic of borderline and narcissistic personality. With these people you cant win, trust me. Walk away, while you still can.
@@therealaintain well why not my brothers ex almost killed him by stabbing and she stalked the shit out of him try also have 3 kids so it’s not as easy to just cut it off sometimes thankfully he did leave her eventually and lives with his new fiancé in a different city :)
Shout-out from Gainesville, Florida. I totally forgot about this. Chris is the same age I am. All the time Pedro spent brooding and planning, he could have met someone else. Guys, I know it's hard but break-ups really aren't the end of the world. Murdering someone and going to prison or killing yourself is certainly an end-all.
Exactly he not a bad looking guy but he's totally crazy in the head and obsessive he should have seen a therapist it's crazy people always claim they are mentally ill when they commit a crime but won't go get help until after they do something they can't take back
@@jabellatv3240 I totally agree if he would have sought help beforehand he may not have ended up where he is now. Nope, he is not a bad looking guy at all...just a psychopath. He will now have plenty of boyfriends in prison...
This. My first true love left me about 2 years ago, and I was heartbroken. But instead of dwelling on it, I tried to move on, and found someone else about 8 months later - someone who I'm still currently with. It's a terrible experience but, if its that painful for you the worst you can do is keep chasing them, it's only going to make it worse.
I was in the same pod with both Andjelo and Bravo. Bravo was actually a really cool kid can't say the same for Andjelo but this when story is sad and fucked up
Too many people are this obsessed, but circumstances prevented them from killing. Some pine for their first loves their entire life. Pretty stupid but eh...
Also like.. seriously? Your first high school gf? It's barely even a real relationship, you go onto college and date another 8-10 people before you even have a substantial one And even then like.. if it ends it ends, you move on haha Wish the girl luck and that's it I mean I'm still friends with most of my recent exes, it's not a big deal I lived with one for a year while we both dated other people This guy is just a batshit creeper
He wanted to get out of town, away from the memories and have a fresh start so he moved to where his ex-girlfriend lived that he has memories with which he is trying to escape? Bravo Pedro.
Watching with my 'That Chapter' bingo card. Florida? Check!... Love triangle? Check!.... Caught buying an obvious murder kit on WalMart security cameras? Check!

"You know, he murdered my current boyfriend it means he loves me very much. Now Im gonna go back with him bcs its true love." - said no one (sane enough) ever (apparently I have to edit it bcs some ppl are crazy)
@@hoosierhiver what a load of shit. He followed her to another city. This is on his mental health, not her actions. She probably thought she'd keep herself safe by keeping him happy. She was probably terrified what he'd do if he cut contact. Either to her or himself. She knew he wasn't well. And people who aren't well aren't rational. Until he got help which didn't happen, being pleasant was probably safest thing she could have done. If he's capable of killing a man for dating his ex-girlfriend, then the ex-girlfriend probably had a fair idea of what would happen to her as the main subject of his affections. Cutting contact is the opposite of safe, and we see this all the time in mentally unwell stalkers over and over.
I was watching the Big Hero 6 tv show a few days ago and the character Fred made a similar joke lol I instantly thought of that scene when Mike said it 😂
It's really disappointing that this all happened...Pedro seemed like a talented artist who could have moved on from that breakup and maybe even done great things. Christian also had a whole life ahead of him, he just started college. Really a sad story... :(
💚 IT IS TRULY TRAGIC THAT A YOUNG MAN'S LIFE WAS TAKEN TOO SOON. HIS FORMER FRIEND WAS HIS KILLER, OVER A YOUNG WOMAN THAT NEITHER ONE MAY HAVE ENDED UP WITH. SO MANY LIVES DESTROYED. SO MANY FAMILIES DEVASTATED 😢 💚 REST IN PEACE CHRISTIAN 🕊️🙏💚💚💚
Uhm. Pedro was clearly a calculating sociopath of the mass shooter/school shooter degree. This guy would have gone on to coldly annihilate people his whole life if he was even a fraction as smart as he fancied himself. Thank god he wasn’t.
Considering how many pictures, surveillance videos etc. he adds in on top of getting so detailed it really is impressive. Like where are you getting all this content?
@Sandra Turajlich Nah, who watches television anymore? There's nothing for him to gain from it. He already makes a lot of money from YT without the stress of having a boss and responsibilities.
“He already knew what they are were doing behind his back” “……it didn’t matter what they were doing behind his back! They were broken up etc etc” This is why I keep coming back! Mike doesn’t need the “dramatics” when telling a story. He speaks with awareness and calls out the bs!
I can't imagine how much gore pictures and videos you have on your computer THATS CRAZY HOW YOU PUMP THESE OUT EVERY WEEK! You're the best true crime channel on YT by FARR
"The BRRRILIANCE of this plan!" *writes down literally every detail of every plan he has and leaves it laying around* If he wasn't so egotistical he felt the need to write it all out, he may have lasted a bit longer.
can't lie, loved the way he put the journal together....and i agree, had he went into art and not obsess a chick, he might've went down a different path....
Straight up that cursive at 14:58 is damn near calligraphic. I keep finding myself pausing to look more closely at the pages. I can only think of one guy I've ever met that has such neat handwriting.
When I discovered this channel, I thought I would never run out of That Chapter fixes. BUT I WAS WRONG Now I have to wait for Tuesday and then hang on until Friday ...IT SUCKS, MIKE, IT SUCKS
This case shows how it's NOT your responsibility to make others feel better!!! Trust your gut instinct & cut off bad people from your life. Poor Erica & Christian cared alot about not hurting Pedro's feelings😐
13:05 “will I still be able to go home with my parents tonight? If I....” Naive enough to ask such a question after what he did, but still evil enough to kill. How unbelievably strange...
That takes me back to when a little shit tried to make fun of my baby brother, who's name is Sebastian. So what rhymes with that you say? This three year old cycled around my bro with a three-wheeler chanting Sebastian the Castian x 300. And my brother cried like there was no tomorrow. 🤣🤣🤣
This story is a reminder to all that a relationship is nobody's business but the couples business. We should always protect peoples privacy be it a friend or enemy!!
The way he’s smiling and smirking on the stand. Talking about his friend on the ground and has a smile on his face. Even giggling at some points. Messed up. Messed up dude.
He's completely satisfied with what he's done. The fact that Christian can't be with Erica is more important to him than him spending the rest of his life in prison.
His diary looks really nice though. Should have abandoned this insane behavior and become a artist/designer of some kind. He got the talent and skills. But nah, let's kill a guy for stupid reason and instantly go to jail. Genius.
@@curtiswilson3569 I'm quite glad he ended up in prison for life. Even if he didn't have the urge to murder, a narcissistic person like that would only cause misery to others.
At first I thought: "another loser that threw his life away over a high school girl" But I had to stop cappin...this guy would've gone on to kill someone regardless. Eventually.
Yep, Pedro Brava's conduct on the stand showed he's a psychopath - smiling and enjoying the attention, not an ounce of guilt, remorse or emotion. People should remember the most dangerous males are often the most unimpressive. Christian got into this nut's car, never thinking for a second he was dangerous. It cost him his life. 'The banality of evil'.
I've been in a situation where an ex was stalking me and telling his room mates how he was going to kill my partner to "win me back". I have no idea how that logic works. There was no way I wanted anything to do with that guy already, getting people to help stalk me and threatening to kill someone I love is not attractive. It's not changing my mind. It just cements how screwed up people like that are and how much I do not want to have anything to do with anyone like that. Pro tip: killing people to get someone back is not a good move. Most people aren't into that. Stop it.
Not so much anymore. True Crime has been en vogue for at leat ten years. 25 years ago it may have been odd. (That's when I started 😬) I still want to get rid of half of my library; have an uneasy feeling about it. 😄
I mean oh yeah uhh ya I'm not a doctor... I mean his skull was cracked open I'm pretty sure there was blood everywhere so he could of or possibly coudve of not been hurt, but idk I'm not a doctor.
You know, WalMart has a really good return policy, if you're hiding evidence you should return the shovel to a different store, the cops would never think to look for it inside the store. In a week it's going back to a distribution center and it's gone forever.
Or don't use your iphone during the murder, stash victims belongings at your home,or you could just NOT murder someone etc there's so much this guy did wrong 🤦
In this ol’ comment I’m going to talk about how That Chapter has become one of my favorite UA-cam channels. This comment was posted at tree forty-five on October twenty-turd.
The way he smiles at the trial is actually called, duping delight, he is so happy of what he has done, and at the same time thinking he is smarter than anyone else, convinced that he will get away with murder,that he just cant hide his joy, a true psychopath, who has to be locked up for life.
No. Duping delight is about lying and thinking you're getting away with the lie, but the laugh/smirk/smile is the tell. I think this dude is heavily medicated. Seems like he probably was for a while.
So, Pedro hits Chris in the nose and then Chris is really upset with him FROM THE BACK SEAT. What? What kind of mates drive around 1 in front 1 in back! Great one Mike!!!
He also must have one hell of a long left arm, to be able to punch him in the face while driving. I was sitting here trying to figure that one out. Here in Australia it might be possible to backhand him but don't US cars have the steering wheel on the left hand side?
One time, when I was 19, my room mate and I were ribbing each other and later on we got in his mustang to go get some grub; the ribbing continued and he made me sit in the back seat saying that the front seat was reserved for ladies; I handed him my part of the money for food and said "close your mouth driver and drive".
He did what he intended to do. His motive was to get back at Christian and ruin Erica’s life which is why he’s smiling on the stand. I’ve seen this case before and feel so bad for Christian’s family. His dad was devastated. As for Erica, she looked genuinely happy with Christian and I feel bad for her too. Pedro’s crazy ass ruined more than 1 life.
That dude is so naive... "if I tell you will I still get to go home with my parents tonight". Why yes son, you may go home if you tell us about the murder.....
That’s what most of those psychopaths say. the Dahlia girl who tried to get her husband killed, said the same thing. And quite a few others I’ve watched, all seem to think they’re just going to get to go home after they’ve spun thee most ridiculous of stories. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
My god, he is every defense attorney's worst nightmare. Between talking to the cops and all that forensic evidence, I would not want to be on this case.
I notice the subtitles in the interrogation footage. I never had trouble hearing it, but I see you! Listening to ur followers and obliging them. You’re a proper UA-cam personality. I love ur videos and look forward to them from when I first wake on Fridays. I see u!
Instead of blanket statements how about you we teach people to not to lie to one another in what was framed as sparing his feelings but really it was a shit attempt at insulating themselves. Moral of this story is "if youre too ashamed to admit it, maybe you just shouldnt be doing it..."
just like we need to teach women to stop saying "stop crying and be a man". depending on ones persperctive that does as much or more damage then men not regulating their emotions. and for that matter; it's not like women can't be killers. in fact when they do turn homicidal more oftenly then not it's against their own children. and honustly, what kind of monster kills a child? much less their own?
@Remington Black , well, I’m sorry to hear that. Clearly you understand that Mike can say go, but, “let’s have a goo” is his signature line. It’s fairly common, depending on where you live in the world.
When you date someone who’s obsessive you have to cut all contact. No staying in touch, no “checking in”. Just leave and never look back.
Sadly I feel like most teenagers want the "lets still be friends" ending

Shows he’s a sociopath. A response that he has memorised, seen or heard it somewhere.
I don't find that sentence to be at all interesting. It's throwaway nonsense. TBH, this just makes me think the guys a bit of a fucking idiot.
Trying to sound smart 😂
Three reasons why I now watch That Chapter instead of other true crime channels:
1 Mike is witty and hilarious.
2 Mike speaks at a good pace. Other UA-camrs talk and talk and don't take a breath, leaving me feeling tired after listening to them.
3 Mike's video is concise with relevant images and video clips.
Mike’s got the best video flow out of any youtubers out there.
Agreed
4 He winks at the end of his videos (I always look foreword to that wink)
Wrong!! not number 3! its number TREE!!!
you mean tree reasons.
PEDRO: “I WILL succeed.”
MIKE: “No you won’t.”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Women having terrible taste in men, what else is new.
I laughed hard the way he slid the comment in 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@BalboaBaggins how about men just being terrible , what else is new
I believe Mike was incorrect. Very successful in contrast to his Ex-girlfriend, she hasn't done anything since graduating high school.
So is Siri an "access-Siri" to murder?
...
I'll see myself out.
Don’t worry about it, Pedro Bravo will see you out...

I'm in a love triangle with Jim Can't Swim and That Chapter.
Oooh who's Jim cant swim and what does he do?
@@SupportMensMentalHealth he does in depth analysis of police interrogation's. Great stuff, but long times between uploads. You should check out his channel.
JCS criminal psychology
@@SupportMensMentalHealth, I agree. He’s the complete opposite of Mike, but dives deep into police interrogations. He’s got quite the cult following as well. Definitely worth a view.
Except they don't love you, but they will do a video on you if you ever go off the deep end.
JK, they both love you.
His journal is like him writing out how to act like a regular human being. Even his walk to the stand is like "I will walk to the stand, confident but not too confident......"
Pedro Bravo reminds me of Norman Bates (Psycho). At the end of the movie, Norman Bates is sitting in the police station and there's a fly in his hand, and he is saying:" They see, she would not even harm a fly!" Pedro Bravo wants to appear extremely inconspicuous and that makes him very suspicious!
the fact that’s he’s smirking while speaking
Thank you, don't know why nobody said this. It's just so creepy.
Yeah he was cringey on the stand. And did you see some of the things he wrote in his journal like "get my eyebrowns down at the mall!" when talking about how to get her back. Lol what a weasel.
Its called dupers delight
I know right. Wtf kind of defense is that?! If you're not guilty, why would you sit there and smirk like that while talking about your dead friend? He seemed happy to be able to kill him and hurt her.
The "psychopathic smirk".
Can't thank Mike enough for being THE BEST UA-camr and dragging a lot of us through the lockdown. We love Mike TREE TOUSAND.
No! tirtytree tousand 😂

Cheers to Mike 🍻

God damn, he was so obsessed with her/possessive, he couldn’t even call her Christian’s girlfriend in the police interview. Dude had to change it to, “The girl Christian had a crush on.”
Obsession is one hell of a drug.
He was distancing himself
Desire is the most powerful thing in the human mind next to love.
It’s mind boggling to me that Christian was dating Bravos ex. I’ve been alive long enough to know that some people are crazy and that you never mess with certain things if you want to guarantee nothing bad will happen to you. Don’t mess with anyone’s wife, girlfriend, money or livelihood. People will kill you over those things. And dating your friends ex is also on the list of things I personally wouldn’t do.
@@ErolDotCom Especially when people do something like that, that will put those people straight to jail life or the death penalty. This is why people need to start thinking twice before they do something to another person
I was a student at UF during the time that Christian went missing. Still remember seeing all his missing posters on the way to chemistry class or the library. My heart breaks for his family.
Me too. I was finishing up my last semester when all this went down. I felt so bad for the family when I learned what happened to Christian.
What happened with the girl?
@@johnv6806 She dated another friend of Pedro and Christian.
Lies
New kid on the block it's absolutely not her fault, and if he was their friend most likely he would be her friend already
I would never understand people who pay for murder instruments with card, or keeps the receipts. Pay with cash, burn the receipt, actually, just don’t kill people.
Your avatar was my face while reading this comment, until the last bit.. thank god for the last bit lol
Or steal the instruments from a construction site far away from where you're. Use a map, an old map and mark the site where you know it's easy to dig.
Very true and don't do your murders based off TV shows like " Dexter" that guy was a total idiot
@@milovarquiel a lot of construction sites have video surveillance that could record your face or license plate. But yes, always pay cash, and destroy the murder weapon.
Ideally you should acquire your equipment through theft.
imagine killing someone over the girl that doesn't love you at all
How do you know she didn't love him
@George Washington Agreed
How bout not dating your buddies ex?
That’s the reason why he killed Christian. Because she loved Christian and not him
@@velvetjonez06 Exactly, I was thinking the same thing. They both were snakes for sneaking around his back like that. Didn't deserve to die though and may he RIP but it was still wrong on their part.
"Whenever I murder somebody I keep all my receipts for any and all tools used and make detailed plans and drawings in one of my many journals to make sure I follow the procedure correctly. I always make sure I'm the last person seen with the victim and that I have an obvious and easily discernible motive." - Kind regards, Pedro
That was the brilliance of his plan!
I wonder if he gets his traits of OCD from his accountant father or Charty manager mother ?
@@sofiedouglas757 haha, probably a little of both.
"but thats the brilliance"
If you keep the receipts you can get the tax back for a job well done.

Ah, the old “he was breathing when I left” excuse. It says a lot about your character when the jury finds a jailhouse snitch more believable than you.
They really didn't need the snitch in this case, he snitched on himself.
I hate the stigma associated with people providing testimony in murder trials. The guy did the right thing testifying and assisted in putting a murderer away. Quit it with that “snitch” nonsense.
@@MrRyan-wu4jx I don't believe J Smalls meant it in that kind of way. In this context it's not quite the same as an informant getting a drug dealer arrested. The witness was a gang member, if he had "snitched" on a dealer, it would be quite different, and chances are that he wouldn't "snitch" on a dealer. But I digress. Some words just mean different things in different contexts.
@@ObnoxiousCamoToe Yea I agree. It's not so black and white sometimes. If it was something that could potentially get him or his family killed he probably would of been hesitant, but I also understand where they were coming from too. Being a snitch is a stigma and it shouldn't be that. I'm glad that guy spoke up.
@@ObnoxiousCamoToe not sure what you’re getting at. Anybody providing relevant information on a dangerous criminal, and drug dealers are VERY dangerous criminals responsible for deaths, in court testimony did the right thing.
I get the feeling that Pedro thinks he's the smartest person in the room. He had a stupid smile on his face. Talk about duping delight!! 😳
@Frank Marano I totally agree! He's so smug and my $ is on the squirrel lol 😊
What a fool , couldn't handle the psychological pressure of an average looking girl.( come on she wasn't even that pretty or interesting looking) maybe she was his first and now his last...
@@willesco5211 She's a beauty queen compared to inadequate little squirt Pedro! But this story is not about the girl or her looks - it's about some males' huge entitlement and need to control females (I realise there are some obsessive females too, but this kind of crime, like all violent crime, is overwhelmingly committed by male perpetrators).
Males like Pedro refuse to accept a woman's rejection. They should grow up learning boundaries and respecting other people's right to reject them. Yes rejection is tough but every human being goes through it sometime and learning to develop a thick skin and move on is a sign of maturity.
Erica was free to date whoever she liked, she ended her relationship with Pedro and was not cheating on him. But he was a highly dangerous psychopath, capable of murder. Sadly they often look like him - inadequate and unimpressive. That's what makes them so dangerous, people don't realise what they're capable of. Christian made the mistake of getting into his car and it would cost him his life. Erica is actually very lucky to be alive - in most cases it's the female subject of the crazy's obsession who gets murdered.
Yeah. this is all too common for teenagers. he's still at the stage and age where he hasn't caught on to the fact that everyone around him likely has a degree of competence and don't have rocks kicking around in their heads.
@@glamdolly30 She was average at best.

They always expect a fairy tale ending after killing the current boyfriend/girlfriend in these types of cases 🤦🏼♀️
Lol ikr? It’s laughable. I sat and wondered, has that EVER worked???
Idk I mean, maybe there are couples out there who are together because the chain of events was secretly altered by murder of a rival by one of the two partners, and we never hear about those, by definition of them being successful. 😳
But yeah even if there were, I’m pretty sure they’re an extreme minority of cases.
I remarried my exwife after she made me a widow.
For real, they act like the person who rejected them is just going to fall into their open arms once they kill the person they loved.

Deadly teenaged "love" stories are so depressing. People, when you're 28, you will barely remember the people you dated in high school! Edited to add: Yes, I know you guys who are replying successfully married your high school sweetheart. That's still on the rare side, and my point is that obsessive teenage love like this isn't actual love- it's just infatuation. See: the plot of Romeo and Juilet, which made fun of it.
Right lol..

Yeah, free. Right.
@@copyorange well it is ? Obviously taxes pay for it but it’s free to people who need the service
Let's be honest, if they plan to murder a person in the first place, why do you think they will want to have a lawyer present? They achieved their end goal, they have won.
Why don't people in jail ever think that their cellmates are informers? You just met someone, like, 2 weeks ago and you're unloading your darkest secrets to them. Weird.
Yep and now that dude is labeled a snitch
Youre stuck in there, you have a lot on your mind, and you associate the people around you as being in the same circumstance. Everyone going in Im sure swears to tell themselves theyre not going to breath a word of it to anyone, but then...
it's not even the guilty conscience... it's the mental effects of being away and far... the walls the gates all these things of being locked away makes u talk because it's all freedom u do have left
Naw cats like that aren't seen as snitches. They see it as taking advantage of a dumb fish to look good for the next parole hearing 😂
No honour among thieves these days

I found out on one of these shows that the police can find messages and stuff that you have deleted as well😳
Here’s a tip: if you want the jury to believe you it’s probably best not to smile and laugh as you describe leaving your “friend” on the side of the road left for dead
Everyone ain't that stupid. Granted, there are those that are easily swayed, you will likely just make yourself look stupid and aggravate individuals that know better.
Not his friend anymore
Today I Learned that my phone apparently tracks literally everything, including flashlight usage?!?!?
Its not like you imagine it. But yes, absolutly every input that reaches the phone is getting recorded. Not by some special software or the governtment spying on you, but by the phones system itself. That data isnt just available to the user or the smartphone company but has to be readed out by people who know how to do that.
You and I both 😂
And im not happy about it
I just learned that 10 minutes ago myself!!
@@derstoffausdemderjoghurtis Some of this information is available to the user, especially when you are going to submit some feedback in an app, there is a function that can be called to ask the user to choose which system logs they want to send along with the feedback.
Fun Fact, there really was a time in the mid-late 2000's when Siri would actually give you a list of options like that such as dumps, parks, etc when you asked her where to hide a body. But I guess that didn't go over well with police so at some point it changed to her saying, "I used to know how to answer that". I have no idea what she says now-a-days though, I'm way to nervous to try it with all the cyber-spying BS the government does, Siri would probably report you directly to the cops rather than joking about not knowing the answer anymore.
It says “funny question” or “what again” “I used to know the answer to this” “very funny” I’ve asked 7 times in a row that’s all I got
My Siri will apologize for giving wrong information
Person: "Siri, how can I dispose of a body" Siri: "I am calling 9-1-1 now. I have taken control of your vehicle. I have locked the doors and windows and I am self driving you to the nearest Police Station. Have a nice day!" 😱

Wait a minute.....that sounds a lot like me!
Women need to realize that their exes well being, has nothing to do with them. If they're threatening you with their mental health, and suicide, you need to cut it off. You're not their mom.
If anybody threatens you with suicide, cut all connection immediately and never look back. It will save you from lot of trouble, this is a known tactic of borderline and narcissistic personality. With these people you cant win, trust me. Walk away, while you still can.

But whining when men leave their girlsfriends without any connection and help^^

@@therealaintain well why not my brothers ex almost killed him by stabbing and she stalked the shit out of him try also have 3 kids so it’s not as easy to just cut it off sometimes thankfully he did leave her eventually and lives with his new fiancé in a different city :)
Shout-out from Gainesville, Florida. I totally forgot about this. Chris is the same age I am.
All the time Pedro spent brooding and planning, he could have met someone else. Guys, I know it's hard but break-ups really aren't the end of the world. Murdering someone and going to prison or killing yourself is certainly an end-all.
Hello fellow floridian
Exactly he not a bad looking guy but he's totally crazy in the head and obsessive he should have seen a therapist it's crazy people always claim they are mentally ill when they commit a crime but won't go get help until after they do something they can't take back
@@jabellatv3240 I totally agree if he would have sought help beforehand he may not have ended up where he is now. Nope, he is not a bad looking guy at all...just a psychopath. He will now have plenty of boyfriends in prison...
This. My first true love left me about 2 years ago, and I was heartbroken. But instead of dwelling on it, I tried to move on, and found someone else about 8 months later - someone who I'm still currently with. It's a terrible experience but, if its that painful for you the worst you can do is keep chasing them, it's only going to make it worse.
I was in the same pod with both Andjelo and Bravo. Bravo was actually a really cool kid can't say the same for Andjelo but this when story is sad and fucked up
Life in prison over a girl , cannot ever get my head around it .
I agree and I am a girl.. Obsession is scary.
If I came home from work and my wife was in bed w a man, I can imagine it.
Too many people are this obsessed, but circumstances prevented them from killing. Some pine for their first loves their entire life. Pretty stupid but eh...
Also like.. seriously? Your first high school gf? It's barely even a real relationship, you go onto college and date another 8-10 people before you even have a substantial one
And even then like.. if it ends it ends, you move on haha
Wish the girl luck and that's it
I mean I'm still friends with most of my recent exes, it's not a big deal
I lived with one for a year while we both dated other people
This guy is just a batshit creeper
I don't think it was just the girl, he was also betrayed by his friend.
He wanted to get out of town, away from the memories and have a fresh start so he moved to where his ex-girlfriend lived that he has memories with which he is trying to escape? Bravo Pedro.

She shouldn't have kept in contact with him, it was unintentionally or subconsciously leading him on.
@@hoosierhiver what a load of shit. He followed her to another city. This is on his mental health, not her actions. She probably thought she'd keep herself safe by keeping him happy. She was probably terrified what he'd do if he cut contact. Either to her or himself. She knew he wasn't well. And people who aren't well aren't rational. Until he got help which didn't happen, being pleasant was probably safest thing she could have done. If he's capable of killing a man for dating his ex-girlfriend, then the ex-girlfriend probably had a fair idea of what would happen to her as the main subject of his affections. Cutting contact is the opposite of safe, and we see this all the time in mentally unwell stalkers over and over.

Dupers delight! Chris Watts does this a lot too. Really common with narcissists.
He's completely satisfied with what he's done. The fact that Christian can't be with Erica is more important to him than him spending the rest of his life in prison.
Pure flipping evil!
He reminds me of Martin Shkreli, the pharma bro. One of my friends was on the jury. She said his demeanor made her skin crawl.
prick thinks he is charming...
His diary looks really nice though. Should have abandoned this insane behavior and become a artist/designer of some kind. He got the talent and skills. But nah, let's kill a guy for stupid reason and instantly go to jail. Genius.
That's what i thought too it really looked nice
I never imagined a guy keeping a diary like that
Lol i thought the same
He had the potential for other things but he decided killing was what he was best at
The artwork came with the journal, Einstein.
YES THE KING IS BACK
Its hard to picture Pedro as a murderer with his braces and acne. But I'm only halfway thru.
Okayyyy saw the diary. Never mind!
Pedro Bravo In Portuguese means "Angry Peter"
In Spanish it means Piece of Sh!t Peter!
Sounds about right.
Or brave
If the police knew Portuguese, the case would’ve been solved in no time
"Pedro Bravo" sounds like the cop code word for "angry peter".
This guy was not a murder mastermind that is for sure. Sad he threw his life away for what would have been, in any event, a high school fling.
Sad he threw HIS life away?? Nevermind the innocent victim huh
@@SvobodovaEva obviously it’s sad about the victim too. It’s just a sad situation all around given the stupid reasonings
@@curtiswilson3569 I'm quite glad he ended up in prison for life. Even if he didn't have the urge to murder, a narcissistic person like that would only cause misery to others.
@@SvobodovaEva you are probably right about that
@Bryan Pittman Exactly. Guy was not mentally right, or too immature to understand it.
At first I thought: "another loser that threw his life away over a high school girl"
But I had to stop cappin...this guy would've gone on to kill someone regardless. Eventually.
Yep, Pedro Brava's conduct on the stand showed he's a psychopath - smiling and enjoying the attention, not an ounce of guilt, remorse or emotion. People should remember the most dangerous males are often the most unimpressive. Christian got into this nut's car, never thinking for a second he was dangerous. It cost him his life. 'The banality of evil'.
If Erica didn’t even get with Christian, Pedro would’ve probably killed any other guy she got with. The guy’s nuts...
That’s probably true.
He was very young back then. His perspective might change once he's older or channel his energy into something that ground him.
@Salt Salt1975 a murder suicide. They could be together forever
I've been in a situation where an ex was stalking me and telling his room mates how he was going to kill my partner to "win me back". I have no idea how that logic works. There was no way I wanted anything to do with that guy already, getting people to help stalk me and threatening to kill someone I love is not attractive. It's not changing my mind. It just cements how screwed up people like that are and how much I do not want to have anything to do with anyone like that.
Pro tip: killing people to get someone back is not a good move. Most people aren't into that. Stop it.
At this point, I think you're probably on a few government watch lists from all the stuff you’re googling 👀
Me too🤣
What I know! All they would have to do is check all the stuff I watch on UA-cam and I’d be suspect number one lol.
😂🖤

Not so much anymore. True Crime has been en vogue for at leat ten years. 25 years ago it may have been odd. (That's when I started 😬) I still want to get rid of half of my library; have an uneasy feeling about it. 😄
“i mean i’m not a doctor so i can’t tell you if he was unconscious.”
lol really man?
GlasGow scale was 4 out of 15.
Hahahahahaha! Right?
under-rated comment
@@themindofjonathan3686 man's almost brain-dead at that point. Safe to say, he's unconscious.
I mean oh yeah uhh ya I'm not a doctor... I mean his skull was cracked open I'm pretty sure there was blood everywhere so he could of or possibly coudve of not been hurt, but idk I'm not a doctor.
ah Florida
Yup Rachet Ass Florida
OMG ILLY 😍
Not all of us Floridians are like this lol
Hi illy😍😍😍 i would not expect to find you here lol
No joke...my hometown is Homestead/Key Largo and have I GOT SOME PRETTY BIZARRE TALES TOO!
You know, WalMart has a really good return policy, if you're hiding evidence you should return the shovel to a different store, the cops would never think to look for it inside the store. In a week it's going back to a distribution center and it's gone forever.
The upside to not having a job is that I can be here right at noon.
kenny wheeler same 😂 I’ve been on vacation since April 😁
Sweet sweet unemployment benefits 💲
Neal Kelly oh sorry, you’re just lazy. I’m living on my own money. 😂
@@GiDD504 You don't know a persons situation, but you assume they are lazy?
@@velasericousland2443 going by neal kellys' comment, yea he does come across as lazy.
The moral of the story: never keep a diary
Or, you know, don't murder people.
Hahaha
Is that even a thing in 2020? 😂
Or a receipt
Or don't use your iphone during the murder, stash victims belongings at your home,or you could just NOT murder someone etc
there's so much this guy did wrong 🤦
In this ol’ comment I’m going to talk about how That Chapter has become one of my favorite UA-cam channels. This comment was posted at tree forty-five on October twenty-turd.
This comment though 😂😂😂👍
Where is he from? Why does he have that accent? Its kinda cute 😍
@@Nezsem He's from Canada
@@BariumCobaltNitrog3n
Is that a Canadian accent or something? Serious question lol
@@Nezsem haha no, most of his stories are killers in Canada. A wee joke that. He's Irish, from Ireland.
The way he smiles at the trial is actually called, duping delight, he is so happy of what he has done, and at the same time thinking he is smarter than anyone else, convinced that he will get away with murder,that he just cant hide his joy, a true psychopath, who has to be locked up for life.
No. Duping delight is about lying and thinking you're getting away with the lie, but the laugh/smirk/smile is the tell. I think this dude is heavily medicated. Seems like he probably was for a while.
He even smiled when he surely knew he would get convicted. He enjoyed the revenge he took bcs for him it aaparently was worth it.
Psychos journal: be cool interested but not too cool interested.. Know what i mean?
Mike: uh No we don't know what you mean
😂😂
Yeah right? Terrible writing.
@LSAT Tutor 100% agreed. This guy was disconnected.
So, Pedro hits Chris in the nose and then Chris is really upset with him FROM THE BACK SEAT. What? What kind of mates drive around 1 in front 1 in back!
Great one Mike!!!
He also must have one hell of a long left arm, to be able to punch him in the face while driving. I was sitting here trying to figure that one out. Here in Australia it might be possible to backhand him but don't US cars have the steering wheel on the left hand side?
@Travis it was toward the end, as I was still typing the post when it ended. It was during the police interview.
One time, when I was 19, my room mate and I were ribbing each other and later on we got in his mustang to go get some grub; the ribbing continued and he made me sit in the back seat saying that the front seat was reserved for ladies; I handed him my part of the money for food and said "close your mouth driver and drive".
@@davidmistoffelees8459 wow super cool story man thanks for sharing
With his left hand while he is driving no less. This is the United States, how awkward - could that really happen with enough force to knock him out?
Mike should be hitting a million anytime soon, great content.
He did what he intended to do. His motive was to get back at Christian and ruin Erica’s life which is why he’s smiling on the stand. I’ve seen this case before and feel so bad for Christian’s family. His dad was devastated. As for Erica, she looked genuinely happy with Christian and I feel bad for her too. Pedro’s crazy ass ruined more than 1 life.
That dude is so naive... "if I tell you will I still get to go home with my parents tonight". Why yes son, you may go home if you tell us about the murder.....
LOL RIGHT? wow...people are truly dumb.
That’s what most of those psychopaths say.
the Dahlia girl who tried to get her husband killed, said the same thing. And quite a few others I’ve watched, all seem to think they’re just going to get to go home after they’ve spun thee most ridiculous of stories.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
He could clearly draw, and had beautiful script. He was smart and threw it all away for literally nothing.
My god, he is every defense attorney's worst nightmare. Between talking to the cops and all that forensic evidence, I would not want to be on this case.
Seema, why should you ?
Magnus Forsman She speaking theoretically.
I find these stories very sad and most of the time could have been avoided. R.I.P. to the victims and prayers to the families.
I notice the subtitles in the interrogation footage. I never had trouble hearing it, but I see you! Listening to ur followers and obliging them. You’re a proper UA-cam personality. I love ur videos and look forward to them from when I first wake on Fridays. I see u!
You re right my friend.
Agreed the subtitles are so important thanks Mike!
We need to teach men to handle rejection/ not always getting what they want. They don't learn emotional regulation. You see this time and time again.
Instead of blanket statements how about you we teach people to not to lie to one another in what was framed as sparing his feelings but really it was a shit attempt at insulating themselves. Moral of this story is "if youre too ashamed to admit it, maybe you just shouldnt be doing it..."
I mean, some women can be crazy like this too. Kill their own kids over a man etc.
just like we need to teach women to stop saying "stop crying and be a man". depending on ones persperctive that does as much or more damage then men not regulating their emotions.
and for that matter; it's not like women can't be killers. in fact when they do turn homicidal more oftenly then not it's against their own children. and honustly, what kind of monster kills a child? much less their own?
@Strange Boy eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
@Strange Boy Many of these cases are legitimately spoiled ass kids whose parents never told them no so they never learned how to handle rejection.
Mike I hate you for cutting your own damn “let’s give it a goo” off 💔😂
Jessica Heath i like it. A little funny.
@@aroseinwinter7719 I find it very humorous...I laughed for sure!
@Remington Black , you must be fun at parties, eh?
@@Lisasanti1 yeah in between masked sips hes a hoot
@Remington Black , well, I’m sorry to hear that. Clearly you understand that Mike can say go, but, “let’s have a goo” is his signature line. It’s fairly common, depending on where you live in the world.
23:29 The smile as he talks about the physical altercation, along with the little giggle, would’ve done me in as a Juror..
he draws pretty well. shame he wasted his life with a murder charge....
I was thinking that too.
Yeah, he could have been a quite decent artist, instead ...
clearly yall dont know the monetary value of art created by killers on the open market lol..sick people seek out this stuff and would buy his drawings
@Karen DeGenerous not really..Im just making a different point
Yes, I thought his journals were quite creative. Maybe art will be an outlet for him in prison.
