Hey everyone today's case is a little different but some people had requested I cover a few of these cases.
This Video is mainly about one particular case, however, I did change certain names and added parts of an almost identical case that occurred in 2015. The reason for this is it was hard finding information and this was originally meant to be one of Bryan's Bedtime Stories. I realize though this isn't really a good story to fall asleep to so I'll be making a new one of those videos this coming weekend and am still working on several missing hiker cases that will post soon.
In this Video, one of the cases still hasn't been solved which is why I changed certain names.
Although the facts are true they came from 2 separate cases but 85% is from one particular case. Although in each one of the cases, it was literally the same set of circumstances. In my research I was disturbed at how many cases I found where things like this happen after a first date. Not necessarily an innocent person being accused but one person going missing after a first date with a new person. What was even more disturbing was this isn't just a modern day crime/tragedy.. such as with online dating or things like that. I found cases that dated all the way back to the early 1900s where something like this happened. just unbelievable:(
My thoughts and prayers go out to anyone who's ever lost someone like this or been in a situation like this🙏🙏

I was told once by a police detective who was friends with my parents - if you're guilty of a crime, get a lawyer. If you're NOT, DEFINITELY get a lawyer. Don't talk to the police/detectives without a lawyer, regardless of guilt or innocence.
I have multiple times and never gotten in any trouble... guilty or not guilty.... 😮😮😮
I was told by family friend you are better off being rich and guilty than poor and innocent
@@NickyBlue99 l'm 60 this month and have never ever got into any trouble ALL of my life!
Yup! If you have a close connection to a victim the police can fabricate it to make you look semi responsible for whatever
No shit
One of my biggest fears is wrongful prosecution and conviction. It actually happens much more than some might imagine.
Me too. And the harder you would defend yourself the more guilty you might appear. Similar to being deemed insane when you are not. Perhaps I watched too many episodes of The Twilight Zone.... 😕
@@normacook8325 .. exactly. And here's the thing, I would be literally screaming about my innocence and most likely look insane. So now you're guilty and insane. Lol. It isn't funny, but the absurdity of it almost is.
That’s kind of weird in a time of dna ABD science, CCTV, and phone data! I only say this in case you can walk with this and it helps you feel calm lol
It’s really not that common, esp if you are a white woman.
@@velocitygirl8551 ...375 people have been exonerated through The Innocence Project, and 21 of them were on death row. That's 375 too many.
That’s exactly how Innocent people go to prison! I’m so sad for him and I’m so glad he wasn’t found guilty! She called her friend they knew he’d left! If it wasn’t for the cameras put him somewhere else he’d be in prison probably!And I think it so sad he couldn’t go to her funeral! Thank you for sharing this with us! I pray you’re feeling much better! You are in my prayers God Bless you Thank you for Shinning your light! 🙏🤗 Have an Awesome night
Another good take away...never ever allow yourself to be interrogated by law enforcement. Ever. Lawyer up as soon as you can. Especially if you're innocent.
Always get a lawyer present and a court reporter to record every word. Remember what happened to General Flynn.
@@carefulconsumer8682- Exactly!
We hope you are feeling better. So sorry about the lyme disease. We love to watch your channel and send you all good thoughts.
Thank you for your kind Thoughts and support🙏
What an incredibly sad story. Not only losing a wonderful, potential, life partner, but then to be accused of taking that person's life away. One thing that Colin should remember, they both had that wonderful evening and he should hang onto that beautiful memory. I do hope Colin can find some peace in his life, it will just take time.
How horrible and gut wrenching for what he was forced to endure!! Thank you for sharing his story Brian!
It's horrible to be blamed for something you haven't done.
Thank you Bryan ❤
Thank you for this heartbreaking video Bryan - you do a great job on these and I always look forward to each one. Am so sorry to hear you're dealing with lyme disease - praying for your health - never apoologize for taking care of yourself first! Abundant blessings to you!
Poor guy. Finds love then he's on trial for her murder. It is absurd and tragic. Hope they get the scumbag who killed her.
This is so sad, especially since his friends encouraged him to get out, and when he finally did, this happened. I pray he recovers quickly so he can get on with the business of living his life and is blessed with joyous times.
Thank you Brian for always telling the story with sympathy.
Sorry for these people, especially the young victim. Always tell the truth no matter what
We're rooting for you, Bryan ! Hope you're soon feeling better !
Sending positive energy and prayers your way ! 💗💗🙏🙏
No matter what- don’t talk to police.
Great report Bryan. Love to listen to your Mysteries. Always well explained.
I've been in the position where nobody believed me after being accused. Not once, but several times. One time in particular altered my view of the entire world for me. I realized just how evil people can be who profess to be trying to find the truth. Truth is about the last thing from their minds, frankly. It's like a junk yard dog, once you're in his sights he's not gonna let you go.
Several times....? Are you sure that you were not lying?
@@NickyBlue99 let my yes be yes. I am certain of the facts. Try offending someone else.
Bryan's video is about being falsely charged with a crime, NOT your little sister snitching on you over 60 years ago. Let it go dude 🙄
@@arikawahime9351 no need to be insensitive. This was no snitch thing. You are rude, but I wouldn't wish it on you
@@jungleperry Sorry, I shouldn't have said that
Great story, the horrible stories I have heard of wrongful convictions because they fit the mold.
Wow! Your voice is so soothing. I hate Colin had to go through all this. Sounds like they were in a hurry to arrest someone and not do their jobs. Prayers for you and sorry you are having to deal with lyme disease. Love all your stories. Keep up the great work.
Meeting your potential soul mate, being super excited to see her for a followup date and then she’s killed. Your heart is broken and then you’re charged with her murder by a prosecutor’s office that doesn’t care if you’re guilty or not.
Do hope Colin finds peace and love. He deserves it. Great story.
Love to hear your voice. Always a pleasure. 💕
He has a very calming voice.
You should do more of these. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
I live close to DC and used to Uber there. Not a place I'd want to wander the streets in. Unless it's broad daylight. 😅
Such a close call. Happy to hear he was cleared.
I tested positive for Lyme and started (weird) treatments recommended by a naturopath, like organic coffee enemas and cod liver oil soaked rag over my liver with a hot water bottle on top of that. ☕🥴
My symptoms worsened and I started seeing a neurologist who ruled out MS and also sent a lyme test to the Mayo Clinic. It was negative. The MS doc referred me to an Infectious Disease doctor to rule out things and to a Rheumatologist.
Turned out I have psoriatic arthritis. I've been able to lessen the pain and stiffness with Cosentyx. Fatigue, however, is worsening, so now I'm being screened for lupus. Hang in there, buddy, and maybe get a second opinion?
Coffee enemas..... those don't do anything
@@NickyBlue99 I only tried it twice. The first time resulted in an accident where the nozzle got away from me and sprayed coffee all over my bathroom walls 🤣
Try carnivore diet. It reduces inflammation. Look up Dr Ken Berry on UA-cam.
I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope you are feeling better🙏 thank you for sharing your experience and again I'm so sorry you've had to go through this. I hope and pray you'll feel better soon🙏 Thank you again for watching and your support!
Another great mystery told by one of the best,,Thanks Bryan for all the hard work and caring nature you assert into each case..D.Shoemake
I always enjoy your videos, Bryan. Praying for a full recovery for you.
Thank you🙏
Glad your steady back at it man u should look up some missing hikers stories from the Adirondacks or nys in general I'm sure you'd stumble on some awesome content.
What a horrific experience to have . I can’t imagine being tried for murder, let alone for a murder i didn’t even commit.. Interesting story. Its sad she died right after they met.
What a terrible emotional rollercoaster for that poor guy
I went to meet a girl I'd been talking to from a dating site and stayed with her for a few days. She had an alcoholic fit and I phoned an ambulance. I was taken to a police station, not the hospital, and she died while I was being held in a cell. I was then immediately arrested "on suspicion of murder". That was the start of a shitload of police involvement I really could have done without.
Oh my I'm so sorry about all... ok sorry about her passing and then all you went through:( I hope it all worked out for you in thy end but yes it's crazy things that happen these days. I'm sorry again you had to go through that and my thoughts and prayers for you🙏🙏
Reminds me of an affair to remember (kinda). I am so sorry for Allison who felt something life changing was happening. What a tragedy.
This case is just another sad example in many of why you should never, ever, ever talk to the police without a lawyer present. Ever. The police will take an easy conviction over the truth 99 out of 100 times. Please, never talk to the police without a lawyer
It's a very simple thinking when someone says the last person who was there is the guilty one. How often is there an unknown person who was the last one to be there and is the guilty one? A criminal isn't going to let it be known what they did and was the last one? To often the police use it as a scapegoat.
Good morning Bryan. I get the feeling that this happened to Colin for a reason. I have no idea why. Only God knows. But I don't think it's about Colin at all. It's for someone else. Somebody is going to listen to this and understand something that Gods been trying to show them. That's why He had you do this video. I'm very glad you did. God bless you always🙏🤗❤️
A lot of people have been accused based on circumstantial evidence. Always consider how things might appear to an impartial person. Always get legal representation to protect you
Horrible and sad but at least this young was found not guilty. Sorry for the loss of this young woman. Condolences to her family and this young man.
Wow! He really seemed guilty, very sad for he and Allison
Crazy scary and sad that there are crazy people out there:(
Yes very sad:(
I'm glad you're back.
Still praying for you Bryan.
Thank you for your prayers and thoughts🙏 Thank you for watching and I hope all is well your way!
Bryan, Prayers for your health and quick recovery. I took a gun safety class given by an active Phoenix PD detective several years ago. We were talking about a recent shooting incident that had happened. A witness misidentified the shooter and an innocent person was arrested and badgered and manipulated by police detectives to admit to the crime. This went on for months until he admitted to a crime he didn't committ. The man retracted under false pretense and was found inncoent. How many innocent people are in jail because of situations like this? The innocent man was poor and didn;t have money for a good attorney. The detective teaching our class said no one should ever go into a police interrogation without an attorney. He said I don't care what you are accused of. Always have an attorney who is knowledgable with criminal law.
The innocence project lists 2000 to 2500 people who are imprisoned yet innocent... so 0.1%
This was a wonderful lovely story. It was really nice to listen to
Brian, you did an awesome job telling this tragic story. You should think about doing true crime stories. You're good at it.
Nice narrative style 👍
That was a very good, albeit, terribly sad story. That poor woman! There are just so many horrible, sick people in this world. Then of course there's the police department, who it feels like, wanted to blame anybody they could to wrap this case up quickly. They did shoddy, sloppy police work, so much for detecting anything. That poor guy, went to hell and back. And she paid with her life. A very happy future ripped apart. I really hope that murderer, fresh from prison, is placed in a rotten cell and NEVER released!
Christopher Tompkins from Ellerslie GA . PLEASE do this case. Some ppl think his coworkers killed him. A animal. Or supernatural.
I have covered this case. I agree it's crazy.. if you look it's in my Playlist but yes I have covered it
@Bryan's Mysteries & Adventures on Trail oh thank u! I will have to find it. I grew up in Ellerslie.
Thanks for another great vedio Bryan. Please take care of yourself, Lyme disease can get serious. You'll be in my prayers.
OMG how horrible, poor guy. All he wanted was to meet someone that he could spend the rest of his life, instead he gets falsely accused and almost went to prison all because of a sloppy job done by law enforcement. Truly horrible what he went through.
Wow. How sad! 🧡 🙏
Hi there hope you are feeling better. This seems a bit different from your normal bush walking hiking getting lost videos. Anyway terrible for this poor man soo stressful and sad for him.
Take care of yourself. Live your videos.
How horrible. I feel terrible for this young man. To fall in love and then be excused of this woman’s life being taken. Never lie to a police officer and always tell the truth no matter what anyone thinks. Meanwhile there is actually a murderer out there who thinks he got away with taking this woman’s life. Unbelievable. 😮
One little quibble Bryan. You said at the beginning that he was 35 years old. The newspaper story about him being acquitted says he was 26. Maybe the story was wrong? Anyway, great job on this story. He finally meets someone and this terrible thing happens. So sad. A lesson to all to get an attorney right away. I was also wondering why the cops were so quick to pin this on him when he went to them first.
No you're right.. like I said I worked on a couple of cases with identical circumstances and cases that are still ongoing, detectives and the like don't like youtubers discussing exact details. But thank you for watching and your feedback. I really appreciate it🙏
This is my greatest fear for my husband and son.
Some cops are just so lazy. Closing a case to get a promotion trumps the lives so many. Disgusting behavior, with circumstances like these it’s no wonder the respect for law enforcement is almost nonexistent.
Unfortunately , this poor man was used as a convenience arrest.
You never talk to the cops without a lawyer. You never lie to the cops. Two rules to follow.
Where was that beach in the last beach image of the video, looked like Praia da Ursa near Lisbon?
I hate how cops laser-focus on a single suspect. Like the Highlander, there can be only one. They don't even care if it's the right guy, the faster any body goes in the slammer for that crime, the sooner they get paid.
You tell the narrative in a very balanced and compassionate way, Bryan. Colin should not have lied to LA, he unfortunately dug himself a rabbit hole, then fell in to it! Keep well and safe, sir!
My daddy always told me "if you play with pigs you get dirty." Stay out of the pig pen; at least dont go in alone.
Those cops and detectives should all be fired if they can't do there damn jobs
Poor guy turns into a nightmare
I’m glad everything worked out in the end but I hope Collin’s team of Pro bono lawyers sued the crap out of that police department/ group of law enforcement officials.
Lol i was gonna say 😛 rain and fog in London, no way?
💎💎
Just last year or the year b4 I think a kid ik mom went missing in my local state land she went down a unmarked trail with her dog hooked a hose up to her exhaust pit it in the window no search teams could find her a hunter n his son that hunter the area frequently ended up stumbling upon her car 🤦♂️
This happened in 1968... So Mr. Pate is an elderly man now he's about 81 if he's still alive
Cops didn't want to do their job
Bad cops.
I still think he did it.
I highly doubt he wasn’t read his Miranda warning.
It's sucks so many people especially ones that have never ever dealt with the law and thinking their doing the right thing cause they have nothing to hide sucks. The police should never ever intimate u if u know u didn't do something u need to stand u ground. Don't b scared always lawyer up no matter what does not mean ur guilty ur being smart u know u didn't do anything just remember that.
Im a 39 year old divorced and happily single guy and i dont get how people get so depressed and put all there self wrth into another person. You gotta learn to live urself and ur own company and until you do that you will never be fulfilled no matter how many relationships you have. Been single for allost 8 years. Before that i was with a women that was kidnapped and murdered and after that i stayed away from relationships fkr that reason but now uts because i enjoy being single. Me and my pit bull savage and my Mane Koon kats that think they're dogs go everywhere with me. Lol i spend all summer out on fmaily property that is 15 acres of woodlands and a lake . That property is connected to miles of fields and woods so it a very rural place, i found my kats out there wen they was only 10 days old and i bottle 🍼 fed em and raised em myself and they're now almost 1 years old and i never thought a cat could or would act alot like a dog ! They follow me and come to me wen i call em and i can drop em off at my lake and tell em stay and come back 10 hours later and they be there waiting on me and they're always within about the same 50 yards of brush hiding and waiting on me. Soon as they hear me whistling they come running, i couldn't stand cats before i found these lil guys and after raising em as i did i fell in love with em like they're my kiddos lmao 🤣
It is the same as Witch hunts.
Rip
The world is ran by criminals.
🤔
Seems like police had tunnel vision and didn’t really do their job
Was the killer ever caught...?
What do you do for your job Bryan? Curious to know what you do for a living!
Alex, I work as the Director of New Business Development for an International Engineering Company. March through May is our busiest time so it can be tough having balance... Thank you for your interest and for watching! I hope you're having a great spring 🙏🙏
@@bawattsyl That's great! I hope you are having a great Spring as well- Love your channel!
@@alexfaye9484 Thank you! You can email me of you ever have case suggestions or questions for me🙏🙏
Just goes to show you. Never meet anybody. Stay single. Stay alone.
Let us know why rhat man killed her.
Bryan, Let me see if I understand. So your'e using sources from different places, changing names, redacting things, using details from many different places in time, even the turn of the century? In that sense, this story is a work of fiction.
“Colin” should’ve gotten a lawyer… because even I think he did it.
Because why was he nervous with the police? Was he black?
Thank you for your feedback however no Colin was not an African American male. Why do you ask?
11:19 [In her bed] Slipped that in there.😄
😮🤣🤣🤣🤣
And that is exactly why u don't LIE!!!!!! Only guilty people lie!!!!! Never lie to police!!!!
So Bryan...this happened 24 years ago in the North Cascade National Park. This is basicly where I live and this dissappearancee has bothered me every since I first heard about it. It isn't your normal hiking experience, however, I thought it might spark your couriousity also. It has never been solved and, living in this area I feel the investigation was bouched, big time. I do not know this family, but it's always bothered me that she was never found. A link with info if you're curious en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Leah_Roberts
