Murder of Frank Cali by Anthony Comello, 2019.
Gabriel Fernandez please 🙏
She shouldn't of left him in the first place.
@@desensitizedanalyser5624 Are you okay? Did you actually watch the video?
Pro tip: literally just don't kill people.
For these types, they have to do mental gymnastics NOT to kill people compared to normal people that knows it's wrong immediately. They are just born evil, as normal people can't pull this off without guilt.
But before that he was cheating and stalking and abusing so I'm kinda glad he's been taken off the streets. Awful that he took a young girls life away though.
Makes me shudder thinking about how many more people are just like him and just one step away from a remorseless murder.
Pro tip: just don’t get caught
You’ve killed before
suspect: *breathes wrong*
Narrator: "this will be seen as a red flag by the detectives"
"You will see the suspect move his left wrist 12 degrees towards the north pole. The detectives will be certain to notice this behavior. Suggesting that he committed the crime in that general direction. Highly SuSpICIOuS. Innocent people will only gravitate the left of their body towards the South Pole in acute angles if they are telling the truth!"
Got em.
@@loudnoises5372bingo 😂
Lmfaoooooo
yeah they had a bit of hindsight bias
Suspect shifts to the right and a silent squeaker pushes out.
Detective: that's it, your arrested. You're Def the killer.
That kid is one of the worst liars ive seen. They could have probably arrested him right there for that ridiculous kidnapping story.
Agreed! He talked sooo much about the “stray bullet” theory I absolutely agree. It was almost as if he was trying to make himself believe that it didn’t happen. His story was also terrible, driving back from college to “log out” of a laptop. You can usually log in on different devices. Also why would he wait to get back to school? You know.
the corinthians quote made me sick to my stomach. that is pure evil to quote scripture to a girl you just murdered.
Easier to risk the teens lives for ironclad evidence
@@dolphdangles1322you're right, scripture is evil
@@mianekic309 he's literally so stupid
I watched another story where this boy killed his mother, and instead of his friends turning him in they helped him cover it up. Much respect to these teens in this story who did the total opposite and helped law enforcement. Goes to show no matter how young someone is, they know right from wrong.
i think I know exactly what you're talking about, if it's the one with the boy and the fire pit. i agree completely. so glad his friends were nothing like those two boys.
Yeah I saw that one too.
Yep they helped him stage a house burglary@@moxxyi
Same I think it’s on this channel too!
Helping law enforcement catch a killer, even if it happens to be your best buddy, should be a no-brainer.
Respect to those teens for doing the right thing and helping law enforcement. Such a heartbreaking case this promising young woman had to lose life.
@Markeisha Jones he means his friends (ex i should say)
@Markeisha Jones Bro, he's talking about the killer's friends who exposed him
@@flyingmonke Are you serious?
And you are disgusting for thinking that, you’re as dirty and low as the killer.
@@mothermakeup7481 he’s just an incel, a nobody haha. He can’t get fucked by a woman so he blames them instead of himself. Just ignore him
Respect to Noah and Alex for having the moral clarity to turn him in at such a young age.
Completely agree, it’s easy to have friendship cloud your judgment at such a young age. Those boys did the right thing, and went out of their way to do it
@@guitarsolos89 what are you talking about? it's because they knew before they even got him to the apartment that he likely had the gun and committed the crime. the entire thing was predecated on them telling the police how sure they were that it was Riley. there's zero evidence that Noah and Alex did anything wrong. they immediately put themselves in danger the day after Emma's death in order to get the murderer in custody as soon as possible.
@@guitarsolos89 you’re completey wrong.
@@guitarsolos89 Looks like you didn't understand what you watched. During the whole conversation, Riley was making up excuses to his friends about why he needed to dispose of the gun. He said that the police might think it's him who killed her just because he has the gun. He won't make those excuses if they already knew he did it. He was even pretending that he didn't know how she died as he was saying that it was impossible she wouldn't run for help if she was shot watch 24:30. But I do agree not all of the friends are innocent, the third person who was with him when he came surely know what's up. Weirdly enough even though the narrator says the third guy is sus nothing came of it. Another thing to note was the text message with the two who ratted him out about how Riley was angry that they told the police he had a gun. The two replied that if he was innocent he won't be afraid which triggered their meeting later that night.
@@guitarsolos89 you completely misunderstood the video but okay. If they had acted shocked it would have spooked him and then the wouldn’t have revealed as much, which is what they wanted ; for him to incriminate himself
"After preparing a couple of hot pockets"😂 I don't know why that part makes me laugh so much
Maybe you have some sort of empathy deficit?
Just the thought of someone killing others and then having normal human thoughts such as “I’m hungry” or “I’m tired” makes me truly sick
For real. Like how can you be hungry after ending someone's life?
That always strikes me in these videos too. Even the smallest things like my boss making me mad make me lose my appetite
That's all they would ever think: I'm hungry, I'm tired, because they're more animal than human.
Psychopathy is a literal bruise on the brain.
Constant eye contact is a sign of dishonesty. Looking away is a sign of dishonesty. Damn I really hope I’m not ever falsely accused of something. I’m going to be over analyzing everything and seem guilty lol.
Individually those things mean nothing, to rly determine someone’s thoughts like that context matters huge
I was, and still am, a pretty shy person. As a kid, I found making eye contact extremely difficult, so my mom drilled it into me that it’s impolite to not look people in the eye when conversing with them. She also said that I couldn’t get a job and function in the real world if I refused to use eye contact. So I practiced using eye contact because I feared the repercussions were going to be as drastic as my mom told me they would be. As a result, I never break eye contact in a conversation and notice immediately when the other person does. I have, indeed, found an excellent job and function just fine in the real world. However, my mom definitely made it much more drastic to a kid that couldn’t have been more than nine or ten years old at the time, but I don’t begrudge her too much. She was raised in a very strict family, violated many of the societal rules of her generation, then had me and my twin in her 30’s. While she never went to the extremes her parents went when raising her and her three sisters, she did want her own twin daughters to have good moral character. If, in those days, making and maintaining eye contact was a sign of respect, then her girls would do it.
Edit (because I accidentally hit “send” before I finished): In hindsight, I don’t think my mom ever meant that getting a job and functioning in society was defined by one’s ability to maintain eye contact in a given conversation. I think she meant it as a gateway to adulthood. Maintaining eye contact does show engagement. It helps people who work in retail/customer service, some of the first jobs teens and adults get. You can’t perform well in entry level jobs if you can’t converse with your customers on eye level. If you can’t perform well in entry level jobs, then you’re certainly not going to perform well in higher positions.
It makes me wonder what the science was about eye contact back in previous generations. As interrogation videos show, eye contact can be a red flag. Was it considered one by investigators back in the day? If so, why was there a higher emphasis on it by people like my mom, grandparents, and teachers? So much to think about! Since so many people have seen videos like EWU’s where they break down the interrogations down to the minutest details, I wonder how many people look at me and my unbreakable eye contact as a sign of deception…?
@@vixenrevitup I couldn’t have said it better
That’s why you get a lawyer immediately
Lawyer up immediately, cops like to say a lot of bullshit to get a confession even if it's false.
Never in a million years did I think I’d be watching a video on this channel about a girl I knew. Jill Walker, Emma’s mom, was one of my elementary school teachers growing up, and her daughter and I were the same age. They lived just down the street from us. I remember Emma being so incredibly sweet to everyone she spent time with, even if we had only met briefly a few times. When the news came out about her death everyone was devastated. She was such a light to the entire community. Those boys are heroes. Emma, I still remember you sweet girl ❤️❤️❤️
Just because you weren’t best friends doesn’t mean an incident like this doesn’t effect you! I’m so sorry… Just knowing something like this can happen in your town to people you see on a regular basis is enough to mess you up. I hope you’re taking care of yourself!

I admire Noah and Alex for acting with morals and integrity and turning Riley over instead of covering him up.
Those kids are so lucky. As said, he reached a point of no return and nothing to lose. Sat in a car, holding a gun, next to two people who betrayed him. It's remarkable they are both fine.
crazy of the police to step in at that moment. there must have been better opportunities where he wasnt having the gun anymore in his possession
@@chrisrosch4731 Yeah, they could have just waited until he got out of the car to go ditch it.
I think they picked the exact right time. If they let him get out of the car with it they risk losing their only evidence. Inside the car he isn’t likely to resist and he also had already mentioned the gun, bullets and magazine being separated.
This wasn't a trained criminal or thug gangster, just a random dude with a gun. His life has never been on the line and he's had to fight his way out. His fight or flight instincts where not trained by real life scenarios or intense training. In every opportunity at every corner, he was going to freeze up no matter what
@@Dclawspkerexactly. I think it’s nuts to say his friends were at risk at any point.
I feel so sorry for her. No one thinks they'll be murdered for ending a highschool relationship. May she rest in peace.
So true. Such a beautiful, vibrant young lady. She should still be here. RIP Sweet Emma💔🥀🕊️
Some people are just sick. It's sad to say I've seen a lot of relationships in HS that were like this.
I was already suspicious as soon as the narrator was talking about how "picture perfect" their relationship seemed I am honestly not shocked. I knew the dude must have a lot of issues behind the scenes.

@@paulsmith4118definitely possible not saying she deserved what happened but too often abusive relationships are painted as one sided where one partner is doin all the abusing but often their is a abuse/toxic behavior from both parties
Imagine all that Emma could have been, could have done to help other people... Riley didn't just take away a young girl's life, he made the world a worse place to live for everyone.
Yes. Kind of like the butterfly effect. She was going to be a neonatal nurse. She could have helped to save lives. Makes you wonder if babies lost their lives. this guy technically killed her and the babies she could have helped to save. Every choice you make in life has a consequence. Good or bad, to you or a stranger. So sad
Damn haven't read anything this stupid in a while.
So true
Bad boy kills Becky. Classic.
The two kids that stood up for Emma deserve a medal! Thank you Guys for your bravery. Thank you for loving your friend; she knows that you have made an amazing impact on others. Study hard become cops and save others and talk to schools s and inform teachers, preachers and Cheerleaders. Bless your hearts. Good luck name a daughter Emma.
massive respect to those guys. this is not something any teen should have to experience; hearing how nervous they were broke my heart, but they were absolutely brave. right on them for turning riley in, that was an incredibly difficult thing to do
Fock that.... human beings throughout history dealt with much worse as teens or younger.....

very rare though...especially in usa.
I know this is an older video but I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to put all of these together and sharing them with us! I absolutely love watching them!
36:03 This is the most accurate description of why people don’t leave abusive relationships. Abusers AREN’T abusive all the time and they most certainly weren’t when we fell in love with them.😪 We love them so much we want to see the best in them and believe they will change.
And they DO change… for a little while
Yes so true. My same exact sentence when explaining why I stayed so long. And then the judgement of “I couldn’t do that” when on the other end those same ppl put up with cheating disrespect and more. None is better than the other, it’s all abuse just in diff forms. But babyyy when you finally get free, it’s a beautiful feeling. And even more when you get free mentally because because for some reason you tend to miss them even knowing how awful they were 😫
I can't imagine how sickening the feeling would be finding out your close friend murdered someone you know
Imagine how uneasy they must of been around him after that. It’s sickening and so sad
My ex shot someone in the head and talked the police into thinking it was a suicide. When i tell you shocking is an understatement. Especially since he never let his guns leave his house except for when someone died the 1 time it did leave his house. Sooooo yeah
i know most people today are naive and have no clue what happens in this world Family usually murders their own majority of the time victims know their killers!!! PROBLEM IS SOCIETY IT GIVES RIGHTS TO KILLERS NOT VICTIMS. PUNISH KILLERS WITH THEIR LIVES less will kill if they know they will die as well
@@kukukaka968 That right there is so true...it seems the Justice system barely punishes people for Huge crimes, while people who commit smaller crimes such as drug related, will get almost as many years or even more than someone who murdered someone else. SO sad our government is failing us and people are too comfortable with their lives to do anything to bring change. I think we all know how big the problem is but no one is really speaking up or we're all so divided with the bs Race issue that still seems to persist today, ontop of wokeness and the trans uprising
Recently found out an old HS friend was arrested for attempting to shoot his landlord. Weird that he did that because wtf but tbh I'm not surprised lmao.
Ugh, her mom's panicked call to 911 was rough to hear. Poor lady having to find her child like that, that must be one of the worst human experiences there is.
I hope she finds happiness and healing.
I almost couldn't make it through it, so painful to hear her.
There's no healing from that I suspect since I'm not a mother. But I do have a wonderful loving mother and to think of having a child at any age being murdered their heart is shattered and part of them died with that child. Even when a child dies of natural causes, most mothers will never be the same again.

I bet getting kicked in the nuts is worse

I like the stories where friends uncover the truth. Putting morals and their own friendship to the victim above loyalty to the criminal. I’m so glad these teen boys cared enough to instantly go to the police for Emma and to protect anyone else that Riley might have hurt.

I feel sorry for Emma’s parents who couldn’t protect their daughter, even though they tried. Very sad.
I am not too sure why her parents never contacted his parents and showed them some of the wonderful texts their precious son was sending or had her file a restraining order.
@chetyoubetya8565 they probably did. But irregardless it wouldn't have changed anything
@@chetyoubetya8565As far as I know restraining orders never work with these kinds of personalities. They feel above the law.
But yes, his parents coming down like a ton of bricks was in order. Maybe it did happen and we just don't know. Or perhaps he was very spoilt and excuses made for him? Armchair theorists can't assume to know anything.
Go to house no good in America
Go double brick always
💔😢😔
What makes me *so mad* is how he wanted Emma for himself so bad that he literally ended her life so she could be with no one else, yet he claims to have cheated on her before. This is the stuff that infuriates me. You want to claim someone as your property, then show them no respect as your partner. Just narcissism and evil in his heart.
edit: if you want to see some incels in action, just read these comments
Maybe
@Finesse Doctor "maybe?" Really.. 😑 cheating on her would have been the far from the worst thing he did, it's not hard to believe.
There's a good chance he's the girlfriend now, and he's definitely property.

@@Dan55888 so she deserved to die?
Very interesring content, perfectly cut together. Thanks for your work to show us that all. And what an incredible deep and warming voice, if you aloud to ask, who is talking?
I think it’s worth mentioning re: abusive relationships, they’re often only abusive 5-10 percent of the time. That leaves 90-95 percent being blissful, thus making it easy to believe getting the shit beat out of you once in awhile from the most loving partner more acceptable. The ratio of this is too often not pointed out and it makes it harder for people to understand as to why victims stay
No one mentions the death count of women who do leave. An example you should be well aware of is Nicole Brown Simpson.
No, I don’t think the majority of people think or accept that getting verbally or physically abused even 1% of the time is acceptable. There’s a lot more to it but regardless of how nice a person is for a percentage of time, it doesn’t make up for the abuse suffered. There’s a combination of low self-esteem/ not feeling you deserve better, manipulation by the perpetrator, attachment issues etc. if you know what a loving relationship is and have experienced it, even one incident of abusive behaviour or red flags stops you in your tracks. It doesn’t mean you leave straight away, but you start contemplating then planning to leave.

Pretty impressive thing these two boys did. Putting their own life on the line to catch a murderer. They should have been publicly recognized by the police.

It was brave of them bc he still had the guns with rounds and could've shot them too. But I also feel like the knew of his shenanigans but couldn't be okay with the fact that he actually went ahead and kill the girl. He crossed the line
@brattCatt_ Even though they were raised by good parents (who deserve recognition for that) the boys THEMSELVES deserve full recognition. And they deserve it more than their parents, because they made their OWN good decisions.
I’m absolutely shocked at the ineptitude of the police. Instead of intervening at numerous incriminating but safe times, they let the situation become extremely dangerous, and then idiotically put the innocent teens directly in the line of fire when they surrounded the car with the person they knew was armed. These cops should literally be charged with reckless endangerment. Absolutely stunningly inept police work.

When her ex husband told me about their marriage and her alcoholic drinking I figured she had a screw loose. I knew had to get out, the last time I told her it was over for good I sold my house and moved. Smartest move I made in that relationship and I haven’t dated since, and that was 10 years ago.

@@miketexas4549 Like that's ever gonna happen.
One thing I've realised after watching so many of these is that basically almost everything we do in an interrogation room is seen as suspicious and red flags one way or another lol. There are genuinely nervous people who would show so many of these red flags just because they are nervous or get anxious or afraid etc. Basically no matter what you do you are going to look suspicious. Eye contact, body fidgeting, staying still, picking fingers, touching nose, the list is endless 😅
Yep, that’s why if you are ever in an interrogation room and 100% innocent, you still ask for a lawyer.
Exactly what I’ve always thought watching these videos. If you are being interrogated in connection to a murder investigation I think you’d be extremely nervous regardless of if your guilty or not.
What you have to take into account is that there’s an *environmental baseline* for everyone. A person who’s naturally nervous/anxious whatever, will be that way throughout the interaction because it’s their baseline.
What you want to focus on are “hotspots” which will be *deviations from the baseline behavior* - either an *increase* in behavior or a *decrease* in behavior.
A person who’s naturally fidgety and anxious, in response to certain questions, may actually either *stop fidgeting,* or show *even more fidgeting and then go back to their normal baseline.*
This is how you know when you’re on the right path of questions - you use an hourglass method: you start off very wide, cast a broad net, and ask simple non-intrusive questions, like their simple background info to just gain a feel how they act during routine talking, then you start narrowing down things, and when you hit hotspots, you know those are things, items, places, times, etc you need to focus on. You can widen back out and change the subject, then hit a hotspot area again later and circle back with another question that relates to the subject and see if you get another deviation in behavior to confirm it.
The behaviors themselves aren’t indicative, it’s the *deviation from their normal baseline behavior* that makes it an indicator.

This is my backyard- this coverage of this case was incredible- I thought I knew what happened ~ learned so very much more!!!!
My name is Emma, i was in a relationship similar to this. Abuse is horrifying and i have no doubt my perpetrator has ASPD. I watch a lot of these cases, i think to understand the signs and avoid them so it doesnt happen again, and this one hit too close to home
Those friends are so brave. And true friends to Emma to risk their safety like that to help get her killer behind bars.
They probably already thought of him as odd since they knew he was prone to making things up and lying.
A normal person doesn’t do that. I don’t think they had to think twice before turning him in.

@@guitarsolos89 they were INSTRUCTED to act as normally as possible that day, specifically so they wouldn't spook him into shutting up. They had to hide their feelings from him so he'd continue trusting them. Especially considering that once they knew he was still packing, and capable of MURDER, they were risking their lives if they reacted in a way that he felt was a threat to his secret.

Mad respect to the friends, that takes so much courage. My heart goes out to the victims
no courage necessary. just common sense decency. no cookies, kudos, or brownie points for doing the right thing.
What they did was certainly respectful :)
@@michaeld4137t 100% does take courage. You clearly have never been through an issue with police involving victims or a serious crime. Within coming forward, they opened themselves up to being investigated, they opened themselves up to having to depositions, possibly go to trial to testify. All that 100% does take courage. It takes a lot of bravery to come forward against your friend and give info on them to police to get them arrested, based on your own words and actions. That can be very scary and intimidating, especially for a child/teen. So you’re completely wrong. Many people with common sense would want to go to police over serious issues, but due to fear they choose not to.
Snitches get stitches. Those friends are need some real life lessons
@@Zzz2x - Listen little baby clownshoes. When I was 17 I was convicted of three 40 year felonies. When I was 19 my girlfriend died in a drunk driving accident. When I was 20 everyone in my household went to jail while I stayed home alone. What occurred between 20-30 I could spend 50 hours explaining. I'm right, you're wrong. You know nothing. Nobody deserves special kudos for narking or entrapping their muderer friend. I don't care how old they are. Doing right doesn't mean you get a fkn trophy little baby.
I was in a relationship for 5 years with a man who was later diagnosed with borderline personaliy disorder. We have 2 kids together. We havent seen or spoken to him in about 8 or 9 years now. I really dont know the difference between borderline personality disorder and antisocial personality disorder.. but honestly I couldn't stop thinking about him while watching this video. This is absolutely something he would have done. No doubt in my mind. In fact, I feel 100% certain that, had I not gotten away from him, I would be dead by now. Probably the kids, too. Luckily for me he can't seem to keep himself out of prison. Thank god.
Edit: just to be clear.. I am only talking about this one specific person. I do not think these disorders are the same, and I don't think that everyone who has them are the same. Sorry for not explaining that better the first time, don't want to offend anyone.
as somebody who has both, they are two entirely different and very complex disorders. they share a lot of symptoms though, but that’s standard for a lot of disorders within the cluster b group.
I'm sorry your ex was abusive, you didn't deserve that and I'm glad you're safe but they're pretty different tbh and it's not nice to demonise people with cluster B disorders and/or lump us all together. I have BPD and I do not have violent tendencies at all, just self harming and self-destructive one, I could never hurt another person though. The hallmark of BPD is extremely intense emotions while the hallmarks of ASP is a lack of empathy. Both disorders manifest in a difficulty maintaining interpersonal relationships but bcos of different reasons
How he went to jail?
@@mbrammy7 I'm sorry I wasn't trying to offend anyone. Like I said I don't know enough about it. I was just talking about this one specific person, not either of those disorders in general.

We need to educate our teenagers on abusive relationships in schools so they can recognize it and get out early
I think parents need to educate their kids on this type of behavior not teachers.
@@kylahren4281 unfortunately many parents are not educated on this themselves or are unwilling, neglectful or otherwise not dispose. However, making basic psychology part of the school curriculum and you have every child aware.
@@scarbaagreed, schools are doing the barest minimum educating as it is, let alone nothing to prepare kids for the world leaving the responsibility to parents to teach them pretty much everything, and most parents are not intelligent at all. The school system needs to change.
@@brattCatt_ there’s a a guy called Jon Atack in the UK who’s written some books about cults and narcissism etc and he goes into schools educating and warning kids how to look out for abuse etc. unfortunately it’s just him doing this alone but he’s trying.
@@scarba That's definitely a topic to learn about! I hope he's heard well because there are a lot of scary cults and you never know you're in one till it's too late.
As someone who was stalked by an abusive ex for over a decade, I just would like to say - that when one of these people is suicidal, beware, they are homicidal too.
Basically “if I’m going down I’m taking you down with me”
If i cant have you 😢
NO 🎉 one can 😮
Yep. My ex kept sending letters and threatened to take his life if I didn't show up on a certain day. I didn't show obviously and what do you know? Another letter came. Narcs don't take their own lives usually
Suicide is the last redoubt of a man/woman without hope. When you have no hope, you stop looking at the world through the lens of "what do I have to lose?" and start evaluating things through the lens of "what wrongs can I right in the time I have left?"
For some people, the wrongs they wish to right are friends or family not receiving as much as they are owed. This is the cause for the common behaviour of suicidal people to give away prized possessions to close friends or family. It's actually a very important warning sign that someone has given up on life and is preparing/planning to end their own life.
For others, especially those that have suffered injustice (or what they believe to be injustice) they will fixate not on ensuring the people they love are 'taken care of' prior to their demise, but instead on people who have wronged them getting what they deserve. When someone has committed to ending their own life, they are at their most dangerous. The only thing (apart from personal ethical codes) that keeps people from striking out against their enemies is fear of consequences. If you're already committed to ending your own life, there are no consequences left for you to fear. You're already going to do to yourself far worse than anyone else could even threaten to do. This is why a lot of suicides express feelings of 'freedom' right before they act. They feel truly free, from all consequence, probably for the first time in a long time. Woe betide crossing their path if you've wronged them (or they believe you've wronged them.)
Ya if their life doesn't mean anything neither does anyone else's. That's why you get the mass murder followed by suicide
It's so chilling watching how people like Riley can just sit there and talk about the person with no emotion. I am glad there are channels like this to explain but it makes it no less chilling to watch. This poor girl deserved so much better than this POS.
I don't know why, but when the mom said "her tongue is hanging out her mouth" i felt shivers down my spine, I mean, imagine trying to wake up your daughter and she doesn't respond to anything you do and when you try to lift her head her jaw just drops her tongue hangs and her eyes are lifeless, truly terrifying.
😛😜🤪😂
Im glad you make it a point to say that non verbal hints arent entirely reliable by themselves. Im an anxious person and wouldve done some of these "hints" just because im in a room with cops/detectives
F*ck i pick skin on my fingers when i'm alone even...
F ck, I’m fidgeting right now in bed watching this video with ice cream on my tummy.

He said that they can’t be used as evidence of deception all by themselves. Deception has to have a verbal or written component. Also, the CIA uses clusters, three or more, of these behaviors for them to “count”; according to this video. They probably view them as ‘suggestions’ rather than traffic lights.

This was such an immaculate presentation. Brilliant doc, perfect structuring. Thanks!
Those teens definitely can have a future in law enforcement. Their ability to continue conversation with no altercation to their personalities is impressive.
Huge props to the two courageous friends in this case and to the neighbors/friends that have led to the solution of so many other cases. The neighbor with the Ring cam and the friend who immediately called the police in the Chris Watts, the neighbor who saw a woman struggling as she was taken to a van and grabbed a partial license plate, the neighbors who noticed marks on the next-door kids and call the police, etc. Everyday heroes.

"This is a real gun!!" was the code word they had arranged with the cops to verify they had SEEN the weapon, so the police could move in.
Oh, I didn't realize that police needed this confirmation to establish sufficient probable cause. I was wondering why they got in the car with the killer and the gun, thinking it was unnecessary to put themselves in danger there.
That's very brave indeed!
But also very risky by the police. What If he had snapped and exacted revenge on the boys when he realized they gave him away?
coming from a daughter that had a mom who was abused, manipulated, frowned upon, i find it insane that in almost every single story ive been told that has had some sort of abuse in it all sounds the same. and the fact that this girl was SIXTEEN with a full life to live just shows me how far people can really take things/situations.
I was devastated when my highschool sweetheart was killed in a car wreck. That was 32 years ago, I couldn’t speak for weeks and was basically catatonic. Hurts still today….this evil thing doesn’t deserve his air he’s breathing
Im so sorry for your loss
Would you mind coming down to the station? For a conversation? No need to bring a lawyer.
You’re lucky you didn’t go through what I’ve been through like my oldest sister committing suicide one week before my 12th birthday and my oldest brother getting murdered five years after that and three years ago my youngest sister was found on my garage floor dead from an overdose of one small blue painkiller and also having to tell my mother that was 82 years old at the time of my sister‘s death if that’s not enough I had to bury my dad five years ago and my mother last year so yeah consider yourself lucky oh also I don’t wanna leave out my drug and alcohol addiction for many years and if that’s not enough well you get the picture

Poor Emma, her first and only relationship from 14-16 was with this controlling killer. Parents, please tell your kids that they have so many years to find their right person. Keep communicating and protecting them.
Dating that young is just risky for girls.

Riley was later sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 51 years. He said to Emma’s parents during sentencing, “I’m sorry I took Emma away from you, that I robbed you of the experience of watching your daughter grow up. What I can do is tell the truth about that night… I wanted to scare her… I never meant to take Emma’s life. Again I am sorry.” Riley remains incarcerated at the Northwest Correctional Complex in Tiptonville, Tennessee.
wow, he can go to hell
What a foolish boy. I hope he feels horrible about what he did for the rest of his measly life.
I believe he really did shoot at her room thinking she would call him like she had done before. If you think about it that is a crazy shot to get on purpose. He's a dumbass tho. Shooting at any home can cause a death even if you don't mean to.
He never meant to my asshole. That shot was calculated. It's so insane to me how they can fake remorse but it's so incredibly obvious that it's not genuine.

Who is narrating this? You have an awesome voice!! Hey from London UK ❤️
The loss of this bright, young lady is the one of the most senseless crimes I've ever heard about. That poor mother on the 911 call is just about the most heartbreaking thing I've ever hear. Absolutely no parent should have to shoulder the burden of burying one of their own children.

@@scottcharney1091it's not a normal occurrence for a parent to bury a child it's an abnormal occurrence
These boys are so brave - knowing that their “friend” killed someone he supposedly cared about they had no clue if they could’ve been murdered doing this too - like if he found the camera who knows what he would do - those are heroes right there
You could tell they were nervous too but had each other's backs
I'm a guy of similar age to Riley. acknowledging the fact that someone who was given the gift of a 2year relationship at this age and instead of being thankful, decides to commit such thing is truly infuriating and unbelievably sad. Women and especially girlfriends need to be respected, loved, and protected. Knowing the fact that while I'm unfortunately not successful regarding my desire to have a girlfriend, someone else in my desired position eliminates their partner for absolutely no reason is just a pain to my heart. Rest in peace 💔

Its really wild how people can so easily undervalue the gravity of killing someone and so massively overestimate their capacity to cover it up. Like so confidently and casually say “I sat in my car for two hours” conveniently on the night before your ex was killed. Cmon man.
I like how I now feel prepared to look as innocent as possible in a police interogation where I am most likely innocent anyway. Thank you
The whole staged kidnapping thing and how he explains it to the cops like it was just another day is the craziest thing I've ever heard
The kidnap lie is a HUUUUGEEEE RED FLAG. OMG! Everytime something very weird happened in my life, the first thing I do is to talk with my friends to tell them some different event other than the ordinary life... like a car accident, a fight, a robbery, or a kidnap ... Being kidnaped and not telling anyone doesn't make any sense. The cops knew he was definitely lying when he started talking about this fake kidnap.
The worst thing, he mighthaveto explain in detail what happened. And this several times within our long interrogations. A secure trap for telling the story even once wrong. How can someone have this idea. Just tell a normal day, without mistakes while repeating. Besides this, every cops thinks it is suspicious that two such crazy events are happening at the same time.
Sadly this is our youths excuse today!

Major respect for the guys putting their lives in danger helping law enforcement to get a killer convicted, without their help the case could have ended being a cold case, or not having enough evidence on Riley. They did an awesome job
they def knew his movements, had motive, a history of incidents, and proof that he had the gun, all without the video evidence. definitely wouldn't have gone cold with all of that overt evidence, but it is incredible to have video and audio footage of the criminal along with all of the other evidence
Touches arm : he’s telling us he’s killed someone 😂😂😂

The moms heartbreak on that 911 call hurts my heart. Her poor family. Such a senseless crime. His own parents and grandparents must be devastated too. If my son had been so emotional abusive to a young lady like he would be so upset. I feel so bad she had such a horrible relationship with him then lost her life right as she was getting over him. He was really messed up.
It’s a living hell for any parent to bury there child let alone a murdered child. Yet millions of parents are burying there children!

@@bubrub5564 It seems you may have confused "entertainment" with "comedy." No one here is saying the video was funny or entertaining in that way. If anything, this video has brought attention to a tragedy and helped solidify her name in history. Obviously the creator is going to profit off of it, as they have put in a lot of work on this video. There is nothing but respect, dignity, and empathy being directed towards the victim. If there is anything morally wrong with this video, of all things, then the bar has fallen *very* low.
A better word for Steve to use probably would have been "interesting." People enjoy the true crime genre for the same reason they stop and crowd around to fights in public. Often, these situations offer a lesson to be learned. It's a part of human nature to pay attention to the bad stuff happening around us. It's just interesting... it's really not that deep.
