Lemme know your thoughts on this kinda of format my friends! As I said I'm always coming across some weird ass stories but there might not be enough there to make an entire video, so maybe combing them into these "stories for the dark" type compilations might be kinda cool from time to time? Whatcha think?
Absolutely . That is the craziest thing I have ever heard. These dogs are not just amazingly well trained but they are selected for their primal abilitys. They would not make that kind of mistake.
My dog is an ex-cadaver dog, there is NO WAY they wouldn’t have been able to smell the body in the bed. Absolutely no way. My baby pups senses have been dulled by time, and she can STILL smell things like you wouldn’t believe.
I was thinking that. Like they've been trained and their sense of smell is not going to be dulled by a blanket. Most likely a hound. Also, I'm sorry, I feel the Nanny would have found her if she was there. I promise she pulled the covers all the way off, looked under the bed. Like she would have found a big lump if it were there. I am not buying this story.
Yeah, he is guilty. And if there’s one thing you need to know about German courts, it’s Lupin walking out of the courtroom as a free man. “Oh, that’s what happened? Well, we’re glad you’re made it, son. Here, don’t forget your money!” .. What a travesty.
@@justinafuchs2619 If it’s true that they had no evidence beyond the circumstantial, what else could they do? Here in the US they’d probably find some other possible crime to keep him locked up & keep investigating while planting an informant in his cellblock 😎
That is absolutely Rediculous! A horrible and horrific way for ANYONE to Murder their own Daughter? Let alone one so tiny? Do you even realize how plausible, how possible this could accidently happen to ANY child in their sleep, let alone one with mobility disabilities? The Child could get around. But think about this? There were many child/ Toddler Deaths in the United States before the 1980's due to single and twin beds that were equipped with child guards! In the 1980's Crib Bumpers were Changed due to new Safety Protocols because of Infants Suffocating. Asphyxiation and Broken Limbs! were complaints Reported by Children's Hospitals and Pediatricians due to the installation of Bed Guards for Toddlers. The Guards were solid and Toddlers were rolling into them in their sleep getting pinned between the bedframe and Guard in their bedding and suffocating! Baby Bumpers for Cribs were also a cause for Suffocation. So, it is possible for a small child to wiggle in their bedding, slide between the mattress and bedframe upsidedown and get stuck. In a matter of minutes they would die from Positional Asphyxiation! Tiny lungs do not take long An adult in a position not able to expand their chest could die from Positional Asphyxiation very quickly. With several blankets slowing the flow of air? Even faster. Let's just say this would be quicker than a child putting a plastic bag over their head! No Parent would even think of such a rediculous way to Murder their child let alone leave their Daughter to Decay for 9 days and let Relatives sleep in the same bed! That is absolutely disgusting and heartless! A Mother's Intuition would have kicked in way, way sooner than this? And she would have never, ever left her two Daughters with him. Let alone sent them away on a Vacation with him?
I suspect that the money might actually have been his. There’s still a pretty lucrative market in unlawfully exported Russian Orthodox religious icons. If he & a couple of the other Russians were involved in the black market and were discovered by the captain, it’s likely that they decided that murder was the best way out of the situation. Then the sole survivor was able to get rid of his partner(s) and hit the open waters, hoping that the fire would have corroborated his story.
The only thing I dislike about this format of telling multiple stories in one video is that the comment section tends to end up being all about one case. 99% of the comments here are about Paulette, 1% about the mass-murdering sailor, and none about the Korean Incel Squad -- which is the case I was really hoping to discuss with others. 😢
It is quite strange that no one has found that story of interest. After seeing that segment, I paused the video to go do some quick internet research on the incidence of mental illness in South Korea (quite high) because, even though plenty of people all over the world are mentally ill, South Korea has a rep in this regard. The video of that one guy talking to the press before his execution was really something else.
I was wondering why they had the female handcuffed with those monsters, during their "perp walk?" Considering they never even charged her, and I'd imagine she was the prosecution's star witness, I don't understand why they would treat her like THAT! As if her experience with THOSE bastards wasn't traumatic enough!!!
That there were so Many in that gang! 😅 Frightening when you hear their horrible actions to other human beings…. Cults are incredible in the amount of sheer atrocities humans are capable of, in the name or “Creed” of the leader. Amazing how many gullible humans fall prey to willingly taking part. Red hat wearers, perfect example. They still see Nothing Wrong with Jan 6 … 😅😢💙
A simple google search shows that cadaver dogs can smell human remains up to at least 10 feet underground, as well as through concrete, debris, refuse, underwater. They can also distinguish human remains from animal remains. There’s no way a few blankets would throw them off the track. That body wasn’t there when they were.
Yeah but at the same time CCTV footage didn't show anyone going in or out of the apartment..... so where would the parents have put the girl so the dogs can't smell her? The whole thing is a bit weird.
I agree but we don't know the pedigree of these doggos and I don't mean breed but training and experience. They may have just not been actual cadaver dogs but drug dogs on loan? Idk just throwing out possibilities.
Absolutely. The D.A. was definitely covering for his friend. Orchestrated the entire reenactment of what “could have happened”, and then magically they suddenly discover a lump that dogs trained for exactly what you described couldn’t find? There’s ZERO chance she was there when they first searched.
The Paulette story is still a big deal in Mexico and pretty much everyone agrees her mom (perhaps dad) killed her, then paid off the investigators. Its infuriating.
but there's actually a recent case in Italy where a woman "disappeared" from her home, her sister checked the whole apartment, then called the police, they checked as well, and after weeks someone came to clean up the house and found a (big) corpse between the wall and the bed, the lady fell out during the night and was never able to get up... to me is more probable that the little girl fell in a space and no one notice it, and those dogs were not so well trained.. plenty of similar cases as well where dogs never found corpses that were there all the time
The mother called Paulette "the girl" during the interview. That's cold that you would call your young disabled 4yr old daughter "the girl". she even sat on the end of the bed during that interview.
It's disgusting that Mexico cops are even more corrupt and criminal than US police. A family friend was kidnapped and held ransom by Mexican cops when he'd chartered a boat to go fishing in Baja. They demanded to be paid off to let him go, and when he couldn't, they held him in deplorable conditions. They thought he was rich cuz he was on a boat, and wanted to extort his family for huge amounts of money. He was there for two whole months before getting him back, he was never the same after that.
I just watched the video of them "finding" Paulette in the bed. She was wedge, completely lengthwise, between the foot of the bed-frame and the mattress itself. She was too big to be "wedged" down very far. There is ABSOLUTELY... no way, anyone who walked in that room looking for Paulette would have missed her, let alone someone sleeping in the room, nevertheless sniffing hounds. Absolutely, No Way.
I wish Paulette would have had her own episode. There is so much darkness behind this case. Poor little Paulette didn't deserve this. Lisette is a monster
It was the mom, the dad called his DA friend. IDK where they hid her, but they put her back in the bed. Why? Mom was frustrated and she ruled her husband. He was scared of her.
@@cristinamfsatt I have Asia name Lisette. She is a b:4?h, always v even when she is tryin to be nice not wicked per say just another unpleasant Lisette l
About Pollette... There is no way a cadaver dog could not find her in the bed. NO WAY! She was hidden somewhere else and was placed there days later, after the dog was there.
i think theres no way dat one can do a childs bed n not feel or see her once de mattress is lifted or de fact she went missing on March 22 n found 9 days later on de 31st
What are kangaroo court that dealt with the first story. Everyone’s dead, one survivor and you reward him with money. Disgusting what a travesty. And they didn’t even charge him with dumping the bodies. Pathetic.
Right? Like there’s a 99% chance he did it or at least was a part of it, then to not attend the funeral… like come on dude, at least PRETEND that you care 🙄 Such an infuriating case. The parents definitely did it (I think)
Yeah, but if he was smart enough to know how sus that would be..to not show to the funeral. Im giving the benefit of doubt and assuming he was grieving ttoo much to want to go through with attsnding.
Grief and guilt can be unimaginable. Even if he did it and knows it, seeing the end, final result of his actions can be a very hard decision to make or not make. People runaway from things in insane ways. Only he knows the truth depth of everything that did/didn’t happen.
Finally someone talks about Paulette. I'm Mexican and I think of her often, but outside from the media circus in Mexico when it happened (and MAGAZINES AND NEWSPAPERS printing a photo of her body, ffs) everyone has looked the other way, and the case isn't too known internationally. I hope her mother has a life full of absolute pain. "The girl" and "that girl", that's what she calls her in those interviews, can't even say her name out loud. It makes me so mad.
I remember Paulette's story. It's pretty obvious her parents saw her as a burden and conspired to get rid of her. I wonder how her sister is doing and what she must be thinking of her parents. So sad and heartbreaking.
I caught that too how the mother talked about her child like an object was all? If they were so rich why couldn’t they have found another positive way to give her the life they didn’t want to provide her themselves? I just don’t get that when people just do the absolute worst things possible instead of dealing with it in legal ways? Especially when they had the means to make other arrangements for her when they realized they didn’t want her or the responsibility for her. She had two Nannies and I’m guessing they were also special needs providers? Usually kids like her need help 24/7, so two would make sense. Along with the attorney who could have helped find her the right kind of home. Or even any number of their also rich friends and/or relatives?! All of them could have probably known alternative options or knew other people who did. If they had been told by the parents that they couldn’t do it themselves anymore. It makes no sense period. I wonder if their religion prevented them from having options besides murder? That or society pressures from other people for whatever reasons? Like people would shun them for not wanting her anymore, stuff like that. Because let’s just be honest here it was probably murder no matter how we slice it. I noticed a picture of the “saint” Mother Teresa in the background of one interview with the mom too. She was No angel at all. It’s well documented that Mother Teresa actually loved seeing children suffering and sacrificing. She was a demon who is still exalted and I find that disgusting myself. People should educate themselves about other people nowadays especially! The touch of the finger on Google can lead to tons of information about anything! Even other options besides murder to get rid of someone you don’t want anymore. Just sickening what happened to that child.

Cadaver dogs can smell through several feet of dirt, a few lousy blankets would not have hidden that stench. Had her body been there that long the house would have wreaked of decay.
Man, I remember subscribing years back when your channel was just starting to take off, and you stood at 84k subscribers. And now, not one, but TWO million! My congrats, Mike!
Right?! Here since he had only a few thousand (I think it was the video about that sick Japanese reality show from the 90s) and I remember him starting to tour spooky local attractions (but he never stuck with that idea). Thought to myself, this kid’s got “it”! At some point, I moved away from TC and didn’t watch for a year or more then came back, like 😮 I knew he had a good chance to make it but I was totally blown away at how quickly he skyrocketed. Well done! 👏
I joined when he was either around 11k or 20k (big difference, I know, but it was a while ago and I don't have the best memory 😅). It's amazing watching the channel grow this much, well deserved 😁
I cant even imagine losing a kid straight out of their room and then NOT tearing that room to absolute shreds looking for them. ALL of those blankets wouldve been taken off and the entire bed wouldve been dismantled and taken out of the room if it was me or my family, thats just nuts that she couldve been there the whole time and no one noticed.
Right? When my cat went missing I tore my house apart! Everything pulled out of closets, washer and dryer checked, trash cans, everything! Yes, cats can hide well and are smaller than a child, obviously, but my point is I pulled out all kinds of stuff from places I knew she couldn’t physically be, just out of despair and the hope she’d appear. I can’t even imagine how insane I’d be over a missing child. And yes, I did find her 5 days later outside!
Yeah there ain’t no way, especially because if my sealed up trash can can’t keep day-old raw chicken packaging from stinking up half my house, there’s no way blankets are concealing dead body smell
Hell yeah those blankets and duvets would be my first thing checked considering that she's a small child in a big bed that looks to be over stuffed with blankets, covers and comforters.
She wasn’t there that whole time. There’s no way cadaver dogs would have missed her under those blankets. They can find people buried under ground, land fills, underground under cement, under water, etc. blankets? Nah.
100% the child was killed by her parents because they were frustrated with her and didn't want to raise her anymore. Chances are, if it points to someone and it's obvious, it's probably because it is obvious and it points to them because it was them. Literally everything pointed to them. I know we can all agree they just got away with murder 🤷♂️
It was he early 90s, even today Germany has a bizarre relationship with the old Soviet system and it was far worse in the 90s. They have far too much sympathy for lying, murderous Russians.
In re to the last story, I shared a room with my little sister; I was 14 and she was 2. One night I came in to the bedroom where she was already sleeping and couldn’t see her. Thankfully only took me a few minutes to realise that she had fallen out of bed and had landed upside down in her ‘Teddy chest’ - all I could see were legs sticking out ..she was bawling but otherwise, unharmed. Scariest minutes of my life!
For old captain murder-eye to reapply for his old job on the exact same boat is wild! And a kick in the nuts to the families involved 😮 oh and loving this new format of bite sized stories, not too long and not too short.
He could have filed a grievance against not hiring back if he really wanted too. If I was qualified enough to get hired in the first place why will you not give me a job. It would just like the guy who killed the girl and ate her. Then he wrote a book about it. Everybody knows who he is. He has done interviews for at least 20 years.
@@terriegilley6475I would say that killing two coworkers no matter the reason would ban you from ever working there ever again. In Germany, talking badly to a coworker is a reason for termination, and bodily harm to a coworker a reason for INMEDIATE termination. Stealing too. So idk what you are talking about.
Yeah it's so hard to find something else as good as this creator. I used to sleep to these every night. Hit "play all" and sleep like a baby. Eventually, I covered the entire playlist. Thankfully Mike is a hard worker and uploads new videos so you don't have to wait long to find something new. That's why Mike's the best. Quality plus quantity!
The last one was really sad. This poor little girl didn’t choose to be born in a disabled body. I don’t understand how a rich family can complain over taking care of her when they have two nannys! I know that there are thousands of parents and even single parents that’s taking care of their childrens with disabilities and yes, it may be challenging but they do it anyway out of love for their kids. In these cases I really hope that there is a ”heaven” and that little Polly is taken care of by people that loves her ❤
I’m one of those parents as my daughter is disabled - physically and learning. It is very challenging, yes and hard work too - parenting is - but I could not love my child any more than I do as she’s so beautiful and full of life. She has a strength that many adults don’t have and I admire her for it. I’d never let any harm come to her. It’s so heartbreaking to hear stories like this, but I want to say that there’s many more parents and carers like me who are here in life giving love and care to our disabled kids. Take heart from that.
Heaven does exist. The definition is: Total Absence of the Negative. But, you can't get there without knowing Jesus, and having you're name in the book of life. Make you're reservations today. 50% off if done in the next 24 hrs. 👼 ❤ 😃 Peace, Love, and Rock n Roll
they were actually very much in debt and if I remember correctly couldn't afford to keep living the way they did, there's actually theory that the parents hid paulette somewhere in the building to collect ransom money, and she died bc they did not expect that much attention and could not get to her bc it would uncover their lies, as sadly most kidnappings do not even make it to the news in this country. Just a theory really but I guess I just wanted to add they where not rich anymore and it is known Lizeth did not care much for paulette and saw her as a burden sadly.
Yes, there is a heaven and children go immediately there as they have never reached the age of decision. They are innocent and whoa to those who harm one of them. The unborn, and birthed children immediately go into the arms of God the Father who is LOVE.“Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of My Father who is in heaven."
That last one was the saddest for me. Like you I think it was a cover-up. If it had been my child I would have looked under the bed. I would have thrown off bedding, mattress & box spring ! This baby didn't seem to have a hx of scooting anywhere on the bed. Her little body doesn't seem to have been strong enough. So yes I believe the parent(s) lnew more but covered it up. Poor baby, what a terrible way to pass on as a adult little lone as a 4 yr. old. 😥😓
As a retired Senior Anatomical Pathology Technician, I will categorically state that there is no way that little girl could have been in that bed for 9 days with no signs that she was there; no smell or leakage? I think she was asphyxiated elsewhere, and then later placed in the bed to be 'found' . RIP.
Agree. I've stayed with a wealthy friend in Mexico City, the servants were stripping my bed every day and putting on fresh sheets. There is no way with two servants and a friend having stayed in that bed that it wasn't changed. Liars.
Okay. You see that many parents leave their rooms just as they were when the child went missing. This mom is letting people sit on what should be a sacred place to her especially at that time. And letting other people sleep in her bed! That would have made me suspicious.
Out of all the things you could pick out to be suspicious of, that's so weird. Having someone sleep in the bed (that isn't "sacred") actually works in the parent's favor of being innocent. Why would they let anyone in there to sit on the bed and even sleep in it if the kid's body was in there. Makes no sense.
@@-xxMelissaxx-there is no way the body was there as even humans can smell decaying flesh pretty well, and they knew the body isn't there that's why they'd allow someone to sleep there. Most parents keep their missing/deceased children's rooms completely untouched
That's the stupidest theory for guilt I think I've ever heard. SOME parents do leave their kid's rooms the way they were, some even not ever letting people in. The vast majority do not and almost none are guilty of any wrongdoing with their child. Please never serve on a jury because believing something you completely made up to decide guilt will definitely get some person in trouble or allow a guilty one to go free.
My cat died 2 months ago & I can't let anyone even sit on his chair as it still has fur on the cushion. Hope you know where I'm coming from with this comment it's not a comparison of grief it's an observation of what they did & what I can't do even now.
@@-xxMelissaxx-I’d want to keep my child’s smell there to stay in those sheets until it was lost…smells are powerful things for memories-so it’s NOT weird to me,at all…but not what I’d use as a sign of guilt tho
Idk if I've ever seen such pure, unadulterated evil looking back at me, as when they showed the Chijong family. That was really disturbing, and omg, that poor girl made to join them and deal w all that 💔 Ofc she still has PTSD! 😢
I like the compilation format as much as I do your regular one. Your research and videos are always very well done - you really deserve your success Mike!❤
Oh man...that last story about the little girl was so tragic... I absolutely believe the parents killed her and hid her. It was all staged at the reconstruction. That poor baby.
To be honest Mike I think we all enjoy watching anything you’ll give us! You are adored! ❤️ and Appreciated! Congratulations on 2 million! I’ve watched you for the last 4 years! Thank you!! 🙏🏻
Yes, what everyone else is saying about Polette, the cadaver dogs would not be thrown off by any number of living people. They are trained to smell decay, not like tracking dogs who focus on one particular humans scent.
Definitely love the compilation videos & would love for you to continue with this format when the mood strikes !!! Thanks for all your hard work Mike , it is GREATLY APPRECIATED 😁❤❤❤❤
the body was not under the bed when the dogs where sniffing. If you understand how powerful their noses are there is no way they would have missed a rotting corpse.
I LOVE THESE!!! Please keep doing them! Sometimes my ADHD makes it really hard to focus for a whole hour no matter how good the story is, so these bite size stories are PERFECT! Plus sometimes they’re just way creepier than the longer ones 👀
2 million subs!!!!!! I got my first smart phone in 2018. I was 32...don't judge. You were one of the first people I ever subscribed to. I'm so glad I've gotten to watch your transformation over the years. So proud of you. Starting all cute and quiet and awkward. Then coming into your own with cofindence and humor and my favorite, the life insurance dance lol. It's been such a pleasure, thank for all your hard work Mike
Wow that is a Big Slap on the Family of the Victims. Not only he got away with the murders and also got to keep the Stollen money that belonged to the captain.
There is no way in hell that the little girl been in that bed for 9 days, cadaver dogs not smelling her, or even that those blankets could contain the smell of decomposition
I almost died at, "This isn’t a Missing 411 video, so a child doesn’t just vanish 😂"…. Mike is able to make me laugh & feel like a horrible person in the same moment 🤦♀️
I've been watching this channel since Mike had 66000 subscribers. It's great to see how far he has come. Thumbs up for this channel. I highly recommend his podcast also.
I love that whenever I watch Mike's videos my boyfriend knows the intro song. He also tells his buds that I shouldnt be reckoned with as I watch all of your videos. Not to mention he responds to your jokes and such as he overhears the videos. ❤
Congrats again on 2M 🎉 you deserve it!! Been here since the beginning haven't missed a single video!! Don't ever change, you and your channel are amazing!!! Much Love from Canada 🇨🇦
No better sign of incompetence than having an probable crime scene as small as one room but not finding the body for nine days😮💨man these people should be ashamed
@@reginagilby1101 thats a possibility too🤔 but nevertheless. Searching there after nine days, after multiple people sat there and probably destroyed evidence. Not very professional.
These are absolutely fantastic. Love this format as being an insomniac probably isn’t the best solution because I want to stay and listen and listen and listen. I really do love your channel. Thank you.❤
I like these small condensed story! Gives variety but I still enjoy deep dives too. First Story: How infuriating that the guy got away with murder and theft. I understand that in criminal court, the proof has to be beyond a reasonable doubt, but this is quite frustrating. Like sure, it's probably not enough evidence to pin the murder on him, but like surely there's crimes against tampering with the crime scene, cause if he's the only survivor, everything like the diesel and the missing bodies would have to be him alone, right? Letting him keep the money was just a slap on the face for the people that died.
I swear you're psychic. I was just thinking I needed something awesome to listen to in order to motivate me to clean my house. And what happens? I get an alert for a new episode of TC. Love you Mike!
I listen to the podcast while I'm working, but watch the videos just to see Mike. Podcast is less visual but more "fun?". It's just friends having a chat.
@@GassersGhost that makes sense. I usually watch stuff when washing dishes or doing something where I'm in the same place for a bit. I haven't been listening to the podcasts lately. I need to catch up on them. So thanks for reminding me!
I very much enjoy the short stories .. and the longer ones it's a nice change of pace to some of the crime shows that just repeat the same things over and over to try and hit a timed schedule. keep up the good work I very much enjoy listening to you at work. or while I am doing my dishes! depending on when I see a new episode available.
Remember Mike With glasses. We're used to him w/o them now. I had corrective surgery, and it took a couple weeks for everyone to get used to seeing my eyes :)
How much was your surgery, if you don't mind me asking. As a lifelong glasses wearer (from 6 years old to now, 42 years old) I'm pretty interested in getting the surgery.
@@supposedhumanmars You should shop around. I got mine in 2008 so I can’t tell you how much it is now, but I do know that now you can use your FSA or HSA to pay for it. So that’s a plus.
I have REALLY enjoyed watching your videos! I love your well timed humor plus the way you tell these stories is very respectful. But I also enjoyed this setup as well! It was something different but still captivating! Keep up the great work!
Thanks Mike for this compilation video. I enjoyed it. I've been needing a good distraction since I'm dealing with my husband of 31years sudden death on the 29th May. Usually my favorite utube podcasters do the trick of distracting me from from the day to day problems but none have filled the order until you presented todays compilation. Thank you again, Mike. With love from a sad Arkansas (USA) granny! Bless you!!
Hello Hello from hot humid Toronto... nothing horrifying in my bed but my cat! Thanks for the collection upload, Mike! I literally just checked for your vid before it popped up. :)
I find it too hard to believe that little girl was stuck in that bed for nine days unnoticed. Not only would there be an odor, but the body becomes oozy gooey with decomposition. Blankets would not have held any of that back.
I'd like Andre to explain how he knew where the captain kept his money. That's not information that a captain of a ship would disclose to anyone unless they were about to be murdered
@@laurenrobinson9072then where did he took the money from? Did he just took 16000 DM from his russian home and decided to take it for a nice boat trip?
I just want to say thank you for being so consistent, factual, detailed and funny! Your videos have gotten me through the last few years of hell, being something I could binge on when I needed to escape from my own reality. I will watch anything you post, you do an amazing job in all of your videos, and this format is just as engaging as your others!!! Thank you again, and please never lose who you are, because you are awesome!!!
In 1990, 8.7% of all divorces in the United States occurred among adults 50 and older. By 2023, that percentage had grown to 47% (Brown, S. L., & Lin, I., Journals of Gerontology: Social Sciences
"There's something horrible in THIS bed!" I said the same thing the other night, when I saw one of those hairy centipedes running along the end of my bed. I swear, right when I looked at it, it turned and started trucking directly towards me. I've never jumped out of anything that fast. I feel lucky to be alive. That centipede is still out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.
I’m laughing bc I was terrified of this music video by Rebbie Jackson called Centipede when I was a kid. The song made no sense metaphorically at all to me not even to this day
The Paulette story is infuriating, reminds me of that women who went on holiday to Mexico to be murdered by her friend/s and nothing was done about it. They got away with it even tho there is clear video evidence. Whats going on in Mexico? Can you buy the cops? I don't understand how they can let people get away with murder thats so obvious.
These are some messed up cases. Really enjoyed it. Thanks Mike. I like this format for a change. Also, I religiously wait and look forward to Tuesday evenings here in UA-cam. Especially after taking care of my elderly parents every Tuesday. Your channels and new videos are my favourite thing of my week. Your channel is the only channel I watch religiously like a TV show back in the day on cable TV.
Definitely excited for the next stories in the dark episode! This one was chilling & riveting. Long form content really (especially from my favorite creators) is great, thank you Mike for starting this (potential & great) series
The Genuine highlight of my week is a new episode and a new podcast. Nowt like finishing work and sitting down to the dulcet tones of Mike and Keith for the hour bus home. ❤ I also have that Lovecraft collection displayed that way as well.
The last one, heartbreaking and makes NO sense! Those parents are definitely hiding a big secret. Anyway, love ya Mike and massive congrats on 2 million subs!! Been here since early on. ❤ (Btw, little Pollet died 10 years to the day before my son was born. He is currently 4, same age she was when she died. He's autistic and developmentally delayed.)

Can we go back to the original version of the intro song? This one just doesn't feel right.
man what happened? you think you need those dumbass red arrows pointing to nothing? makes me not want to watch honestly.
Mike please use your original opening music.
@@Royak YEEESS!
Lemme know your thoughts on this kinda of format my friends! As I said I'm always coming across some weird ass stories but there might not be enough there to make an entire video, so maybe combing them into these "stories for the dark" type compilations might be kinda cool from time to time? Whatcha think?
Yes please! 💗
🙄
I left my take on this as you were leaving this post!
I like it!
Love it! Keep em coming
There is 100% no way blankets would block cadaver dogs from smelling her
My initials are BS and I love you too! Lol
Exactly!
Agreed...
Also the footage of the nanies sticking their hands into that exact space. No way it would have been missed
Absolutely . That is the craziest thing I have ever heard. These dogs are not just amazingly well trained but they are selected for their primal abilitys. They would not make that kind of mistake.
My dog is an ex-cadaver dog, there is NO WAY they wouldn’t have been able to smell the body in the bed. Absolutely no way. My baby pups senses have been dulled by time, and she can STILL smell things like you wouldn’t believe.
Dogs are amazing, mine will make a full 180 turn and go 5-10 meters straight to a little dead bug on the road. They have crazy sens of smell
Heck, I can smell a rotten potato in the kitchen. Lol
I was thinking that. Like they've been trained and their sense of smell is not going to be dulled by a blanket. Most likely a hound. Also, I'm sorry, I feel the Nanny would have found her if she was there. I promise she pulled the covers all the way off, looked under the bed. Like she would have found a big lump if it were there. I am not buying this story.
Yes they can. Surprise surprise, dogs can make mistakes. They aren’t machines. Literally, google it and you would have been proven wrong.
The fact he re-applied is WILD. He definitely killed all those people and wanted to rub it in their (families) faces that he was acquitted.
This should have gotten they own Justice.
🤯
Absolutely rotten
Who wants to go back and work where tragedy happened..
@@cordariousluckey8685 The cause of the tragedy. Some murderers love to return to the scenes of their crimes.
André is as guilty as the day is long. He saw an opportunity and he took it.
Rip to his victims
Yeah, he is guilty. And if there’s one thing you need to know about German courts, it’s Lupin walking out of the courtroom as a free man.
“Oh, that’s what happened? Well, we’re glad you’re made it, son. Here, don’t forget your money!” .. What a travesty.
@@justinafuchs2619 If it’s true that they had no evidence beyond the circumstantial, what else could they do? Here in the US they’d probably find some other possible crime to keep him locked up & keep investigating while planting an informant in his cellblock 😎
That is absolutely Rediculous!
A horrible and horrific way for ANYONE to Murder their own Daughter?
Let alone one so tiny?
Do you even realize how plausible, how possible this could accidently happen to ANY child in their sleep, let alone one with mobility disabilities?
The Child could get around.
But think about this?
There were many child/ Toddler Deaths in the United States before the 1980's due to single and twin beds that were equipped with child guards!
In the 1980's Crib Bumpers were Changed due to new Safety Protocols because of Infants Suffocating.
Asphyxiation and Broken Limbs! were complaints Reported by Children's Hospitals and Pediatricians due to the installation of Bed Guards for Toddlers.
The Guards were solid and Toddlers were rolling into them in their sleep getting pinned between the bedframe and Guard in their bedding and suffocating!
Baby Bumpers for Cribs were also a cause for Suffocation.
So, it is possible for a small child to wiggle in their bedding, slide between the mattress and bedframe upsidedown and get stuck. In a matter of minutes they would die from
Positional Asphyxiation!
Tiny lungs do not take long
An adult in a position not able to expand their chest could die from Positional Asphyxiation very quickly. With several blankets slowing the flow of air? Even faster.
Let's just say this would be quicker than a child putting a plastic bag over their head!
No Parent would even think of such a rediculous way to Murder their child let alone leave their Daughter to Decay for 9 days and let Relatives sleep in the same bed!
That is absolutely disgusting and heartless!
A Mother's Intuition would have kicked in way, way sooner than this?
And she would have never, ever left her two Daughters with him. Let alone sent them away on a Vacation with him?
I suspect that the money might actually have been his. There’s still a pretty lucrative market in unlawfully exported Russian Orthodox religious icons. If he & a couple of the other Russians were involved in the black market and were discovered by the captain, it’s likely that they decided that murder was the best way out of the situation. Then the sole survivor was able to get rid of his partner(s) and hit the open waters, hoping that the fire would have corroborated his story.
@@DneilB007then what happened to the captains money?
The only thing I dislike about this format of telling multiple stories in one video is that the comment section tends to end up being all about one case. 99% of the comments here are about Paulette, 1% about the mass-murdering sailor, and none about the Korean Incel Squad -- which is the case I was really hoping to discuss with others. 😢
It is quite strange that no one has found that story of interest. After seeing that segment, I paused the video to go do some quick internet research on the incidence of mental illness in South Korea (quite high) because, even though plenty of people all over the world are mentally ill, South Korea has a rep in this regard. The video of that one guy talking to the press before his execution was really something else.
Yep
I was wondering why they had the female handcuffed with those monsters, during their "perp walk?" Considering they never even charged her, and I'd imagine she was the prosecution's star witness, I don't understand why they would treat her like THAT!
As if her experience with THOSE bastards wasn't traumatic enough!!!
@@Gary-And-His-Demonsbecause she was one of there girlfriend so a willing member so a prep herself
That there were so Many in that gang! 😅 Frightening when you hear their horrible actions to other human beings…. Cults are incredible in the amount of sheer atrocities humans are capable of, in the name or “Creed” of the leader. Amazing how many gullible humans fall prey to willingly taking part. Red hat wearers, perfect example. They still see Nothing Wrong with Jan 6 … 😅😢💙
A simple google search shows that cadaver dogs can smell human remains up to at least 10 feet underground, as well as through concrete, debris, refuse, underwater. They can also distinguish human remains from animal remains. There’s no way a few blankets would throw them off the track. That body wasn’t there when they were.
Yeah, not buying it at all.
Yeah but at the same time CCTV footage didn't show anyone going in or out of the apartment..... so where would the parents have put the girl so the dogs can't smell her?
The whole thing is a bit weird.
Animals are not robots, and all dogs are not created equal. You are making a lot of assumptions
I agree but we don't know the pedigree of these doggos and I don't mean breed but training and experience. They may have just not been actual cadaver dogs but drug dogs on loan? Idk just throwing out possibilities.
Absolutely. The D.A. was definitely covering for his friend. Orchestrated the entire reenactment of what “could have happened”, and then magically they suddenly discover a lump that dogs trained for exactly what you described couldn’t find? There’s ZERO chance she was there when they first searched.
The Paulette story is still a big deal in Mexico and pretty much everyone agrees her mom (perhaps dad) killed her, then paid off the investigators. Its infuriating.
nooo no corruption in Mexico City!
but there's actually a recent case in Italy where a woman "disappeared" from her home, her sister checked the whole apartment, then called the police, they checked as well, and after weeks someone came to clean up the house and found a (big) corpse between the wall and the bed, the lady fell out during the night and was never able to get up... to me is more probable that the little girl fell in a space and no one notice it, and those dogs were not so well trained.. plenty of similar cases as well where dogs never found corpses that were there all the time
The mother called Paulette "the girl" during the interview. That's cold that you would call your young disabled 4yr old daughter "the girl". she even sat on the end of the bed during that interview.
Not related
It's disgusting that Mexico cops are even more corrupt and criminal than US police. A family friend was kidnapped and held ransom by Mexican cops when he'd chartered a boat to go fishing in Baja. They demanded to be paid off to let him go, and when he couldn't, they held him in deplorable conditions. They thought he was rich cuz he was on a boat, and wanted to extort his family for huge amounts of money. He was there for two whole months before getting him back, he was never the same after that.
I just watched the video of them "finding" Paulette in the bed.
She was wedge, completely lengthwise, between the foot of the bed-frame and the mattress itself. She was too big to be "wedged" down very far. There is ABSOLUTELY... no way, anyone who walked in that room looking for Paulette would have missed her, let alone someone sleeping in the room, nevertheless sniffing hounds.
Absolutely, No Way.
Yep seems like after they were brought in for interrogations they put her back in the bed. Sick.
I wish Paulette would have had her own episode. There is so much darkness behind this case. Poor little Paulette didn't deserve this. Lisette is a monster
Totally, it is a big case in mexico
she does have a show on netflix called the search but in spanish las buscedad
Same
It was the mom, the dad called his DA friend. IDK where they hid her, but they put her back in the bed. Why? Mom was frustrated and she ruled her husband. He was scared of her.
@@cristinamfsatt I have Asia name Lisette. She is a b:4?h, always v even when she is tryin to be nice not wicked per say just another unpleasant Lisette l
About Pollette... There is no way a cadaver dog could not find her in the bed. NO WAY! She was hidden somewhere else and was placed there days later, after the dog was there.
i think theres no way dat one can do a childs bed n not feel or see her once de mattress is lifted or de fact she went missing on March 22 n found 9 days later on de 31st
No one un México believes that Paulette was in the bed. The greatest proof of mexican corrution.
43:40
Blankets couldn't cover up that smell the way they cant cover up the deception and lies of murder obvious to this sad story.
💜➖🌐➖💜
*In 9 days those sheets have been changed, washed, and the bed was made by the staff over & over again.* 😳
That confused me too
What are kangaroo court that dealt with the first story. Everyone’s dead, one survivor and you reward him with money. Disgusting what a travesty. And they didn’t even charge him with dumping the bodies. Pathetic.
Horrifying
Maybe paid off?
What in the world?! Dude didnt attend his daughters funeral?! That is beyond sus.
That story is insane. I can't believe the dogs wouldn't detect the smell, even with covers on top. These types of dogs can sniff through concrete.
Right? Like there’s a 99% chance he did it or at least was a part of it, then to not attend the funeral… like come on dude, at least PRETEND that you care 🙄 Such an infuriating case. The parents definitely did it (I think)
@@mcr1968 maybe cadaver dogs in Mexico are corrupt & taking bribes
Yeah, but if he was smart enough to know how sus that would be..to not show to the funeral. Im giving the benefit of doubt and assuming he was grieving ttoo much to want to go through with attsnding.
Grief and guilt can be unimaginable. Even if he did it and knows it, seeing the end, final result of his actions can be a very hard decision to make or not make.
People runaway from things in insane ways. Only he knows the truth depth of everything that did/didn’t happen.
Finally someone talks about Paulette. I'm Mexican and I think of her often, but outside from the media circus in Mexico when it happened (and MAGAZINES AND NEWSPAPERS printing a photo of her body, ffs) everyone has looked the other way, and the case isn't too known internationally. I hope her mother has a life full of absolute pain. "The girl" and "that girl", that's what she calls her in those interviews, can't even say her name out loud. It makes me so mad.
Yea that's almost always a clear tell, when they can't even say the victims name.
I remember Paulette's story. It's pretty obvious her parents saw her as a burden and conspired to get rid of her. I wonder how her sister is doing and what she must be thinking of her parents. So sad and heartbreaking.
I caught that too how the mother talked about her child like an object was all? If they were so rich why couldn’t they have found another positive way to give her the life they didn’t want to provide her themselves? I just don’t get that when people just do the absolute worst things possible instead of dealing with it in legal ways? Especially when they had the means to make other arrangements for her when they realized they didn’t want her or the responsibility for her. She had two Nannies and I’m guessing they were also special needs providers? Usually kids like her need help 24/7, so two would make sense. Along with the attorney who could have helped find her the right kind of home. Or even any number of their also rich friends and/or relatives?! All of them could have probably known alternative options or knew other people who did. If they had been told by the parents that they couldn’t do it themselves anymore. It makes no sense period. I wonder if their religion prevented them from having options besides murder? That or society pressures from other people for whatever reasons? Like people would shun them for not wanting her anymore, stuff like that. Because let’s just be honest here it was probably murder no matter how we slice it. I noticed a picture of the “saint” Mother Teresa in the background of one interview with the mom too. She was No angel at all. It’s well documented that Mother Teresa actually loved seeing children suffering and sacrificing. She was a demon who is still exalted and I find that disgusting myself. People should educate themselves about other people nowadays especially! The touch of the finger on Google can lead to tons of information about anything! Even other options besides murder to get rid of someone you don’t want anymore. Just sickening what happened to that child.

Tbh, that's probably the 3rd time I've seen it covered. So it seems to be getting covered to some degree, at least.
Cadaver dogs can smell through several feet of dirt, a few lousy blankets would not have hidden that stench. Had her body been there that long the house would have wreaked of decay.
Man, I remember subscribing years back when your channel was just starting to take off, and you stood at 84k subscribers. And now, not one, but TWO million! My congrats, Mike!
Me too 👍
I remember when he hit 100k sub'ers
Right?! Here since he had only a few thousand (I think it was the video about that sick Japanese reality show from the 90s) and I remember him starting to tour spooky local attractions (but he never stuck with that idea).
Thought to myself, this kid’s got “it”! At some point, I moved away from TC and didn’t watch for a year or more then came back, like 😮 I knew he had a good chance to make it but I was totally blown away at how quickly he skyrocketed. Well done! 👏
I joined when he was either around 11k or 20k (big difference, I know, but it was a while ago and I don't have the best memory 😅). It's amazing watching the channel grow this much, well deserved 😁
Thank you for sharing love the videos keep well and stay safe 😊
I cant even imagine losing a kid straight out of their room and then NOT tearing that room to absolute shreds looking for them. ALL of those blankets wouldve been taken off and the entire bed wouldve been dismantled and taken out of the room if it was me or my family, thats just nuts that she couldve been there the whole time and no one noticed.
Right? When my cat went missing I tore my house apart! Everything pulled out of closets, washer and dryer checked, trash cans, everything! Yes, cats can hide well and are smaller than a child, obviously, but my point is I pulled out all kinds of stuff from places I knew she couldn’t physically be, just out of despair and the hope she’d appear. I can’t even imagine how insane I’d be over a missing child. And yes, I did find her 5 days later outside!
Yeah there ain’t no way, especially because if my sealed up trash can can’t keep day-old raw chicken packaging from stinking up half my house, there’s no way blankets are concealing dead body smell
Totally - right out the gate, Id be moving the bed, pulling the mattress off. She wasn't super mobile, so it seems even more obvious.
Hell yeah those blankets and duvets would be my first thing checked considering that she's a small child in a big bed that looks to be over stuffed with blankets, covers and comforters.
She wasn’t there that whole time. There’s no way cadaver dogs would have missed her under those blankets. They can find people buried under ground, land fills, underground under cement, under water, etc. blankets? Nah.
100% the child was killed by her parents because they were frustrated with her and didn't want to raise her anymore. Chances are, if it points to someone and it's obvious, it's probably because it is obvious and it points to them because it was them. Literally everything pointed to them. I know we can all agree they just got away with murder 🤷♂️
McCanns...
That first story is bonkers! How he was acquitted ill never understand! 🤯 those poor sailors and their families! 🕊
It was a big cover up
It was he early 90s, even today Germany has a bizarre relationship with the old Soviet system and it was far worse in the 90s.
They have far too much sympathy for lying, murderous Russians.
It’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard! Freaking idiots!

In re to the last story, I shared a room with my little sister; I was 14 and she was 2. One night I came in to the bedroom where she was already sleeping and couldn’t see her. Thankfully only took me a few minutes to realise that she had fallen out of bed and had landed upside down in her ‘Teddy chest’ - all I could see were legs sticking out ..she was bawling but otherwise, unharmed. Scariest minutes of my life!
What a great sibling you are. I'll bet you still safeguard little sis to this day.
For old captain murder-eye to reapply for his old job on the exact same boat is wild! And a kick in the nuts to the families involved 😮 oh and loving this new format of bite sized stories, not too long and not too short.
Pun intended? (Content including a story about cannibalism) 👀
@@Bettinasisrg 🤐😶🌫️
He could have filed a grievance against not hiring back if he really wanted too. If I was qualified enough to get hired in the first place why will you not give me a job. It would just like the guy who killed the girl and ate her. Then he wrote a book about it. Everybody knows who he is. He has done interviews for at least 20 years.
@@terriegilley6475I would say that killing two coworkers no matter the reason would ban you from ever working there ever again. In Germany, talking badly to a coworker is a reason for termination, and bodily harm to a coworker a reason for INMEDIATE termination. Stealing too. So idk what you are talking about.
I'm sad because I found your channel, and then listened to it 8 hours a day until I had watched them all. Now stuck patiently waiting for new ones lol
I’m that way with Stephanie Soo content
Rotten mango and Miss mango butt those are the names of her three channels, and there’s awesome content
I did the same thing when I found the channel a couple of year ago 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That was me a few years ago. Felt.
Yeah it's so hard to find something else as good as this creator. I used to sleep to these every night. Hit "play all" and sleep like a baby. Eventually, I covered the entire playlist. Thankfully Mike is a hard worker and uploads new videos so you don't have to wait long to find something new. That's why Mike's the best. Quality plus quantity!
One of us! One of us!
YES I LIKE THE SHORT STORY FORMAT because I can just watch one story at a time if needed and not lose my place or forget anything
It’s Tuesday let’s give it a goooooo
Yes, let's!!!
Thank God it’s Tuesdee 😂
The first story in 1990🌲🌲🌲
@traybernbro what
The last one was really sad. This poor little girl didn’t choose to be born in a disabled body. I don’t understand how a rich family can complain over taking care of her when they have two nannys! I know that there are thousands of parents and even single parents that’s taking care of their childrens with disabilities and yes, it may be challenging but they do it anyway out of love for their kids. In these cases I really hope that there is a ”heaven” and that little Polly is taken care of by people that loves her ❤
I’m one of those parents as my daughter is disabled - physically and learning. It is very challenging, yes and hard work too - parenting is - but I could not love my child any more than I do as she’s so beautiful and full of life. She has a strength that many adults don’t have and I admire her for it. I’d never let any harm come to her.
It’s so heartbreaking to hear stories like this, but I want to say that there’s many more parents and carers like me who are here in life giving love and care to our disabled kids. Take heart from that.
I’m also a mom to a disabled boy, and I would give my life 100x over just so he could have a chance to live and be happy🤍
Heaven does exist. The definition is: Total Absence of the Negative. But, you can't get there without knowing Jesus, and having you're name in the book of life. Make you're reservations today. 50% off if done in the next 24 hrs. 👼 ❤ 😃
Peace, Love, and Rock n Roll
they were actually very much in debt and if I remember correctly couldn't afford to keep living the way they did, there's actually theory that the parents hid paulette somewhere in the building to collect ransom money, and she died bc they did not expect that much attention and could not get to her bc it would uncover their lies, as sadly most kidnappings do not even make it to the news in this country. Just a theory really but I guess I just wanted to add they where not rich anymore and it is known Lizeth did not care much for paulette and saw her as a burden sadly.
Yes, there is a heaven and children go immediately there as they have never reached the age of decision. They are innocent and whoa to those who harm one of them. The unborn, and birthed children immediately go into the arms of God the Father who is LOVE.“Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of My Father who is in heaven."
Why would anyone sleep in a missing girls bed!!! That's morbid!
He didn’t feel sorry enough to give the families a cut of the money. Sickening how he went on to live a long, prosperous, fulfilled life.
And is now a rescue diver and has a family of his own.. what a cruel irony.
Nothing says guilty like all the comforts of home - and cash - on a life raft.
All he needed was a wide screen TV and an air fryer 😂.
Those life rafts are totally enclosed, he was kickin' it.
@@linsioux217 takin a private cruise 🙂
Mike is the Stephen King of true crime. We get lots of big videos on a single case. But every now and then, we get a short story compilation. Love it
That last one was the saddest for me. Like you I think it was a cover-up. If it had been my child I would have looked under the bed. I would have thrown off bedding, mattress & box spring ! This baby didn't seem to have a hx of scooting anywhere on the bed. Her little body doesn't seem to have been strong enough. So yes I believe the parent(s) lnew more but covered it up. Poor baby, what a terrible way to pass on as a adult little lone as a 4 yr. old. 😥😓
As a retired Senior Anatomical Pathology Technician, I will categorically state that there is no way that little girl could have been in that bed for 9 days with no signs that she was there; no smell or leakage? I think she was asphyxiated elsewhere, and then later placed in the bed to be 'found' . RIP.
I've heard this before and wondered the same thing. How did they make that bed and not find that child 😮
Let's not forget the initial analysis that she was beaten severely. This was a real shocker. And on top of that, not charrged.
Wow! Cool job description. (Not making light of the situation.)
@@Bettinasisrg I spanned 43 years in the profession. It was a privilege to care for my patients.
Agree. I've stayed with a wealthy friend in Mexico City, the servants were stripping my bed every day and putting on fresh sheets. There is no way with two servants and a friend having stayed in that bed that it wasn't changed. Liars.
I sometimes have a short attention span, so these short story compilations are perfect as I get excited about what's next.
How do blankets cover up the scent of a decaying body to the point where cadaver dogs can't detect it?? Nope. Calling bs on that one.
The body has to ripen to the putrefaction stage though...
Nope day 2 it starts or earlier.
If you think blankets can't hold in smells you haven't been Dutch ovened before! /s
Okay. You see that many parents leave their rooms just as they were when the child went missing. This mom is letting people sit on what should be a sacred place to her especially at that time. And letting other people sleep in her bed! That would have made me suspicious.
Out of all the things you could pick out to be suspicious of, that's so weird. Having someone sleep in the bed (that isn't "sacred") actually works in the parent's favor of being innocent. Why would they let anyone in there to sit on the bed and even sleep in it if the kid's body was in there. Makes no sense.
@@-xxMelissaxx-there is no way the body was there as even humans can smell decaying flesh pretty well, and they knew the body isn't there that's why they'd allow someone to sleep there. Most parents keep their missing/deceased children's rooms completely untouched
That's the stupidest theory for guilt I think I've ever heard. SOME parents do leave their kid's rooms the way they were, some even not ever letting people in. The vast majority do not and almost none are guilty of any wrongdoing with their child. Please never serve on a jury because believing something you completely made up to decide guilt will definitely get some person in trouble or allow a guilty one to go free.
My cat died 2 months ago & I can't let anyone even sit on his chair as it still has fur on the cushion. Hope you know where I'm coming from with this comment it's not a comparison of grief it's an observation of what they did & what I can't do even now.
@@-xxMelissaxx-I’d want to keep my child’s smell there to stay in those sheets until it was lost…smells are powerful things for memories-so it’s NOT weird to me,at all…but not what I’d use as a sign of guilt tho
Idk if I've ever seen such pure, unadulterated evil looking back at me, as when they showed the Chijong family. That was really disturbing, and omg, that poor girl made to join them and deal w all that 💔 Ofc she still has PTSD! 😢

Same 😂
I feel exactly the same! He is so genuine as well as hilariously adorable with his own turd (3rd) references! 😂😂😂😂😂
I like the compilation format as much as I do your regular one. Your research and videos are always very well done - you really deserve your success Mike!❤
Oh man...that last story about the little girl was so tragic... I absolutely believe the parents killed her and hid her. It was all staged at the reconstruction. That poor baby.
That poor little girl to fight so hard just to be alive, then get murdered by probably her mum, so sad. I hope she may rest in peace now.
She was a beautiful little girl in the picture. Heartbreaking .
Omg that poor child. Looking at her stuffed animals while the mother is being interviewed on her bed tore me up. Poor baby. 😢
And the mother barely shedding a tear in interviews.. her demeanour was very suspicious for a mother with a missing 4 year old.
To be honest Mike I think we all enjoy watching anything you’ll give us! You are adored! ❤️ and Appreciated! Congratulations on 2 million! I’ve watched you for the last 4 years! Thank you!! 🙏🏻
Yes, what everyone else is saying about Polette, the cadaver dogs would not be thrown off by any number of living people. They are trained to smell decay, not like tracking dogs who focus on one particular humans scent.
Definitely love the compilation videos & would love for you to continue with this format when the mood strikes !!! Thanks for all your hard work Mike , it is GREATLY APPRECIATED 😁❤❤❤❤
the body was not under the bed when the dogs where sniffing. If you understand how powerful their noses are there is no way they would have missed a rotting corpse.
i read they were trained to sniffed living bodies
I LOVE THESE!!! Please keep doing them! Sometimes my ADHD makes it really hard to focus for a whole hour no matter how good the story is, so these bite size stories are PERFECT! Plus sometimes they’re just way creepier than the longer ones 👀

Me too.😎
I like both formats, so the dark short stories mixed in with your regular stories would be great!
2 million subs!!!!!! I got my first smart phone in 2018. I was 32...don't judge. You were one of the first people I ever subscribed to. I'm so glad I've gotten to watch your transformation over the years. So proud of you. Starting all cute and quiet and awkward. Then coming into your own with cofindence and humor and my favorite, the life insurance dance lol. It's been such a pleasure, thank for all your hard work Mike
Wow that is a Big Slap on the Family of the Victims. Not only he got away with the murders and also got to keep the Stollen money that belonged to the captain.
Absolutely here for little short stories, I just like how you tell stories in general honestly you’re easy to listen to
There is no way in hell that the little girl been in that bed for 9 days, cadaver dogs not smelling her, or even that those blankets could contain the smell of decomposition
Even the people who came in and out of the apartment would smell it.
The people on other floors would have smelled it.
Maybe parents did it bc wtf
43:40
Blankets couldn't cover up that smell the way they cant cover up the deception and lies of murder obvious to this sad story.
💜➖🌐➖💜
I almost died at, "This isn’t a Missing 411 video, so a child doesn’t just vanish 😂"…. Mike is able to make me laugh & feel like a horrible person in the same moment 🤦♀️
I've been watching this channel since Mike had 66000 subscribers. It's great to see how far he has come. Thumbs up for this channel. I highly recommend his podcast also.
I love that whenever I watch Mike's videos my boyfriend knows the intro song. He also tells his buds that I shouldnt be reckoned with as I watch all of your videos. Not to mention he responds to your jokes and such as he overhears the videos. ❤
Ok, that's adorable
He might as well be watching em, at this point.
Congrats again on 2M 🎉 you deserve it!! Been here since the beginning haven't missed a single video!! Don't ever change, you and your channel are amazing!!! Much Love from Canada 🇨🇦
Definitely well deserved 🎉🎉🎉🎉
LOVE these compilations !!!!! .Then again, I LOVE the longer style videos. Then again I LOVE the podcast ! .... if its Mike's Stuff I'm just winning 🥇
The mother of that child is totally "duping delight" smiling.
The infamous smirk 😠
No better sign of incompetence than having an probable crime scene as small as one room but not finding the body for nine days😮💨man these people should be ashamed
Parents didn’t seem too concerned at all! Vile. Rest in peace, sweet beautiful lass 🙏💔🍀
I think it wasn’t there and was put there later
@@reginagilby1101 thats a possibility too🤔 but nevertheless. Searching there after nine days, after multiple people sat there and probably destroyed evidence. Not very professional.
These are absolutely fantastic. Love this format as being an insomniac probably isn’t the best solution because I want to stay and listen and listen and listen. I really do love your channel. Thank you.❤
I like these small condensed story! Gives variety but I still enjoy deep dives too.
First Story: How infuriating that the guy got away with murder and theft. I understand that in criminal court, the proof has to be beyond a reasonable doubt, but this is quite frustrating. Like sure, it's probably not enough evidence to pin the murder on him, but like surely there's crimes against tampering with the crime scene, cause if he's the only survivor, everything like the diesel and the missing bodies would have to be him alone, right? Letting him keep the money was just a slap on the face for the people that died.
I swear you're psychic. I was just thinking I needed something awesome to listen to in order to motivate me to clean my house.
And what happens? I get an alert for a new episode of TC.
Love you Mike!
Me too, lol. Gotta move out ASAP, so fun
So give it a goooooo!!
I listen to the podcast while I'm working, but watch the videos just to see Mike.
Podcast is less visual but more "fun?". It's just friends having a chat.
@@GassersGhost that makes sense. I usually watch stuff when washing dishes or doing something where I'm in the same place for a bit.
I haven't been listening to the podcasts lately. I need to catch up on them. So thanks for reminding me!
@@allysonboyenton9040lol same! ❤
I very much enjoy the short stories .. and the longer ones it's a nice change of pace to some of the crime shows that just repeat the same things over and over to try and hit a timed schedule. keep up the good work I very much enjoy listening to you at work. or while I am doing my dishes! depending on when I see a new episode available.
Mike ❤ your community of viewers really reflect your presence and personality so much - like loving family vibes
We love you!
Right back at ya! ❤
Remember Mike With glasses. We're used to him w/o them now. I had corrective surgery, and it took a couple weeks for everyone to get used to seeing my eyes :)
I miss Mike with glasses, I liked him,, he was a good guy. Mike without glasses is an asshole 😂
Joking obvs, Mike with glasses was an asshole too 😂
How much was your surgery, if you don't mind me asking. As a lifelong glasses wearer (from 6 years old to now, 42 years old) I'm pretty interested in getting the surgery.
@@laurafromliverpool🤣🤣🤣
@@laurafromliverpool😂😂
@@supposedhumanmars You should shop around. I got mine in 2008 so I can’t tell you how much it is now, but I do know that now you can use your FSA or HSA to pay for it. So that’s a plus.
I have REALLY enjoyed watching your videos! I love your well timed humor plus the way you tell these stories is very respectful. But I also enjoyed this setup as well! It was something different but still captivating!
Keep up the great work!
Thanks Mike for this compilation video. I enjoyed it. I've been needing a good distraction since I'm dealing with my husband of 31years sudden death on the 29th May. Usually my favorite utube podcasters do the trick of distracting me from from the day to day problems but none have filled the order until you presented todays compilation. Thank you again, Mike. With love from a sad Arkansas (USA) granny! Bless you!!
I’m from Arkansas too.. sorry for your loss..
I'm very sorry for your loss.
Abby, I'm sorry about the sudden loss of your husband. I hope you're doing okay & taking care of yourself, a neighbor in Oklahoma. 😢
Hello Hello from hot humid Toronto... nothing horrifying in my bed but my cat! Thanks for the collection upload, Mike! I literally just checked for your vid before it popped up. :)
Niagara Region here. Staying indoors and watching my favourite UA-cam people today. Stay cool!
@@nannysfolly 🍁🍁🍁🍁
Hello from hot, humid Louisiana. So far apart yet still suffering the same fate lol ❤ from the US.
@@nannysfolly Likewise! Even my cat wants to stay in!
@@mochimochi7669 It's pretty bad where you are, that's for sure. My sympathies!
THAT LAST ONE WAS CRAZY!!!! SOMEONE KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED.. LOVED THE BONUS 3 STORIES... THANKS
I find it too hard to believe that little girl was stuck in that bed for nine days unnoticed. Not only would there be an odor, but the body becomes oozy gooey with decomposition. Blankets would not have held any of that back.
Exactly what I was going to say
2 million congratulations Mike so well deserved 👋🇮🇪
I enjoy all your formats and co-hosts and podcasts. You're the only one I'll listen to more than once.
I'd like Andre to explain how he knew where the captain kept his money. That's not information that a captain of a ship would disclose to anyone unless they were about to be murdered
While I don't believe Andre's story, I don't think he said he took the money from the Captain.
@@laurenrobinson9072then where did he took the money from? Did he just took 16000 DM from his russian home and decided to take it for a nice boat trip?
Yes I liked this compilation. They are never heard because they are too short for standalone videos. This was good. More please
I'm diggin the multi story episode!
Great work!
Shout out from NORTHERN CALIFORNIA!
I just want to say thank you for being so consistent, factual, detailed and funny! Your videos have gotten me through the last few years of hell, being something I could binge on when I needed to escape from my own reality. I will watch anything you post, you do an amazing job in all of your videos, and this format is just as engaging as your others!!! Thank you again, and please never lose who you are, because you are awesome!!!
Just got married, get to listen to Mike talk about scary things. Hell yeah man
congratulations 🎉
Congratulations!
Congratulations!!!!

In 1990, 8.7% of all divorces in the United States occurred among adults 50 and older. By 2023, that percentage had grown to 47% (Brown, S. L., & Lin, I., Journals of Gerontology: Social Sciences
I enjoyed the compilation as much as the longer ones. As you said, it's a good way to tell those stories too. Thanks for all your hard work!
"There's something horrible in THIS bed!" I said the same thing the other night, when I saw one of those hairy centipedes running along the end of my bed. I swear, right when I looked at it, it turned and started trucking directly towards me. I've never jumped out of anything that fast. I feel lucky to be alive. That centipede is still out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.
🤣🤣🤣
I’m laughing bc I was terrified of this music video by Rebbie Jackson called Centipede when I was a kid. The song made no sense metaphorically at all to me not even to this day
EEWWWW!!! That would have me sleeping on the couch!
😂😅😂
Hairy centipede? You mean a millipede?
The pictures of paulette in the bed are insane considering nobody saiid they saw her. She wasnt there. RIP
I love the 3 part compilation style, it’s interesting and diverse, keeping you intrigued and as it’s too long a watch 👍🏻
The Paulette story is infuriating, reminds me of that women who went on holiday to Mexico to be murdered by her friend/s and nothing was done about it. They got away with it even tho there is clear video evidence. Whats going on in Mexico? Can you buy the cops? I don't understand how they can let people get away with murder thats so obvious.
These are some messed up cases. Really enjoyed it. Thanks Mike.
I like this format for a change.
Also, I religiously wait and look forward to Tuesday evenings here in UA-cam. Especially after taking care of my elderly parents every Tuesday. Your channels and new videos are my favourite thing of my week.
Your channel is the only channel I watch religiously like a TV show back in the day on cable TV.
Definitely excited for the next stories in the dark episode! This one was chilling & riveting. Long form content really (especially from my favorite creators) is great, thank you Mike for starting this (potential & great) series
I'm from Denmark, and I have never heard the story about the cargo ship. Thanks for covering it 🇩🇰🤗
I never heard of it either&I'm from NJ😂😂😂

Mike has come a long way from the tin foil hats dayz!!
Where are my old school Mike fans ??
👽💯
Still here. Perfected the life insurance dance and keep the tin foil hat on its shelf of respect just in case.
Still here and always will be ❤
That was a very epic tinfoil hat. Nice sharp point to channel the vibrations straight into Mike's brain.
Need more life insurance dancing!!
The Genuine highlight of my week is a new episode and a new podcast. Nowt like finishing work and sitting down to the dulcet tones of Mike and Keith for the hour bus home. ❤
I also have that Lovecraft collection displayed that way as well.
The last one, heartbreaking and makes NO sense! Those parents are definitely hiding a big secret. Anyway, love ya Mike and massive congrats on 2 million subs!! Been here since early on. ❤ (Btw, little Pollet died 10 years to the day before my son was born. He is currently 4, same age she was when she died. He's autistic and developmentally delayed.)
Love, loved, loved, this mini trio of stories ❤️. I could listen to you tell stories allllll day. Please do more! Thanks Mike. With love from California 😊
Turdy mins or less is just fine with me !!! Love your voice & all the research you do!! Hard working man, Mike!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Honestly I love watching three short stories over one long one
Mike! I’ve been a longtime subscriber - 4 years now! I’m so happy to see you a 2 million. You deserve it! Love watching your videos even more than I did 4 years ago ❤
Love this format. It breaks up the long vids and can bring in new viewers imo
At "Solid Snaking, Metal Gear Soliding his way around" I spat my lungs-
Ah, Mike, man of colture I see! 🫡
Kept you waiting, huh?
Whenever there is a Mike I'm there And ready to give it a go
I'm so glad to read that!
I really enjoy this kind of format and even though the stories are terrifying I am very interested in learning about them. Thank you for your efforts!
Hi, Mike. I just want to tell you how much my daughter and I enjoy your channel. Also, love the new background; very cozy and inviting. Thank you for making these amazing videos! Love the compilation videos, too!
That last case was heartbreaking.
RIP Pollet. Beautiful little angel
