It's strange to run across a time when the like button was living a quiet, harass free life.
lol i was thinking of the same thing
Mr. Ballen should do a video on how the like button's treatment devolved, delivered in story format.

I was thinking the same thing
Why MrBallen is so likeable
1. He's a dad
2. He's a veteran
3. Doesn't waste time when telling stories
4. His fashion sense is awesome
5. Smart
6. He looks like my church pastor

Watching baby ballen is so wholesome, his storytelling and the way he captivates viewers in todays videos has reached an insane level
Was thinking the same thing. Just started all the way over, from video one. Crazy to see how much more comfortable he's gotten.
@@IndianaKidd and if you hadn’t watched his videos now you wouldn’t even notice because it’s still the best storytelling ever
@jamiejo2000 Definitely my favorite. Him and Mr Nightmare are the two I have been listening to for the longest.
@@IndianaKiddSaaamme! Two of the best storytelling channels out there imo
@trenchcoatbrigade698 Almost forgot about Let's Read. Another really good channel, in my opinion.
Who else is NOT here because of TikTok? 🙋♀️

I found him before Tik Tok

Evil does not need a reason, it only needs an opportunity.
That's the best way I've ever heard it described
What an awesome statement. Thank you.
And we need weapons.
@@TheOnePlankton we all do, I have a glock 9 and thats all i need. :D
The perp is Godless.
I live in Minnesota. So the story was all over here. One nice thing about the lady who found Jamie. Was I believe there was a $10,000 reward for any information on Jamie. They tried to give it to the lady who was walking her dog and keeping her safe. But she said that Jamie freed herself, so Jamie should be the one who gets the money. And I thought that was such a sweet thing.
I live in Wisconsin and I remember being at work when I was 18 and the story of her escape was all over the news. It was on nearly every channel.
Wow. Solid good person right there.
@Jack Jones they did their was a big debate on weather it should go to a college fund or what cuz there is a valid argument a college fund isn't worth it
@Jack Jones okay so I looked further into it. You can as well just type in Jayme Closs reward money. And a local business raised $25,000 and the FBI matched it with another $25,000. For a total of $50,000 for any information on her case. Obviously I'm way off with lowballing it at $10,000 I must not be remembering things correctly.
The local business gave her the $25,000 that they promised and put up. But I couldn't get it clear answer on whether or not the FBI put up their share it seemed like they were kind of arguing it...
@Jack Jones she seriously does. You are right about the feds not wanting to pay their share they put up but the local business kept their word.
I remember when this happened, a lot of people were initially blaming her, saying she probably killed her parents and ran off with a boyfriend. Horrible. Jamie is a hero.
Yes she is. She undoubtedly saved other kids from being put through this.
How sad. She is a hero
wat
Who could had said that? Bro, some people are smoking hard things...
@@godnyx117 right, how awful to blame the victim
We don’t know if Jake’s done it before to another child in a different State. So many children go missing. Maybe the other times he was able to abduct the child without the parents being in his way . He was too confident and blasé for it to have been his first time imo . And just because a person doesn’t have a criminal record doesn’t mean they haven’t committed a crime or a series of crimes them . It just means that they weren’t caught.
Right… and just LOOK AT HIM. Child snatcher written all over his face
not necessarily, I get high-functioning psychopath vibes from this guy. he went under the radar enough to fit into society, but deep down he had no empathy or remorse.
Nah. He was just an idiot! His plan was stupid anyways! Even if he did it again, and the child didn't run away, you have to be an idiot to bet that every child is the same and will not run away.
Exactly. As the popular saying goes: "it's only illegal if you get caught." Who knows how many ppl we all know that have committed crimes, but they just haven't been caught. These ppl can be, and often are, these "stand-up, pillars of the community" types, so no one suspects anything. Gacy, Dommer, Gein, Bundy, just to name a few and look at what monsters they were and no one knew a thing...until they did.
@@Tarot_Chateau Yeah, this has been said a lot and it is true. And what's worse is that you cannot blame anyone. A good and serious father/mother is the last person anyone would suspect of been a criminal. I mean, they have an organized life and a family, why would they? Of course, those who want to be criminals know that so they "build" their life that way so they have a strong alibi.
At last someone telling these stories in a voice that sounds normal and is easy to listen to.
Vs mr chills 😣
Doesnt hurt that hes pretty either lol. I bet gos wife loves him to bits and hes gonna make an amazing dad.
Yeah unlike chills
😂facts
Chills' lung was damaged (I don't remember how) so he kinda has to speak like that
Edit May 8 2021: It feels like almost every day I get at least one comment explaining how I'm wrong about this. At first it was okay, but now it feels like no one bothers to scroll down a little bit to see that dozens of people have already said it. I guess I have to acknowledge this in this comment so I don't get the exact same comment filling my inbox constantly.
Just the idea of someone you’ve never seen in your life driving to your home multiple times with the intentions of taking your child while you sit blissfully unaware inside is so chilling.
Right, It makes me think how can u put a tracker on ur child. As silly as that sounds it may save a lot of lives!
Imagine the woman that received a letter from the BTK killer that said he was waiting in her house all night.
here's an idea, always supervise your child outside. Also learn to use a firearm and get good with it. Especially if you're a single mom with no man to protect you or the child.
Jayme closs lives in Barron, we play their school in all of our sports. We saw her after she was found and went back to school, and she seems so extremely sweet. The poor thing has been through so much. I thought it was cool to meet her.
@@taasch2505 yes keep close eye on ur children but as ever parent know kids r quick & small easily tucking them selves I to place we can't see. I was in a store my daughter was holding the side of the carrier I bent down to pick up my sons toy my daughter wanted to play hide & seek let go & hid in between the clothes rack. It took less that 30 sec & she had disappeared! I couldn't explain the fear! There now 23 & 21 and 18 yr old twins so the fears are huge now!
Tons of people thought she killed her parents with this guy. I think it's easy for true crime junkies or even just media junkies to fall into that sort of speculation, but that is so sad that not only did this happen but there were people out there calling HER a monster 😭 I hope she is getting the love and support she needs to heal because that is one of the most traumatic things someone could go through, especially at that age.
This is a huge problem with investigations. We take one idea and role with it. It's okay to make theories so that they can guide the case but when you hench your mind on one theory you will never investigate with an open mind. You will be focused on one thing
Kinda like the Elizabeth smart case an innocent man lost his life to that mind set
The alternative is that her parents failed her completely. Imagine your idea of "protecting" your daughter just being to refuse to tie her up.
No guns in the house?
I remember that. When this happened, a Facebook friend of mine shared the Baron county sheriff page news about it, and I began to follow it. And there was one particular picture of Jayme posted, like she looks at camera from below, and because of that angle, people were like, oh she have evil look, she's def psychopath, she effed her parents herself and run off with boyfriend from internet. And it so enraged me. Like, seriously, I truly hope she never got to see those comments of how people were actually blaming her for what happened.
Well usually when things don't add up it's because you don't have all the information. I think the truth is we don't know his motivation because he never gave but it assuredly exists.
As a father of a 13 year old daughter, this stuff scares the shit out of me.
Same here. I have a very beautiful 2 year old, my wife posted a picture of my daughter getting her nails done on a Facebook group and she got too many creeps asking for more pictures and even offer to buy them.
@@edenilson1423 thats why you make your facebook private and add family members and close friends only... hope your family is doing well!
@@XLR0 she posted it on a Facebook group about nails. It's public to anyone who joins the group.
@@edenilson1423 Oh well thats the internet for you lmao
@@edenilson1423 Wow, scary stuff. I used to have on my FB, friends groups, so one group was family and the other group was everyone. When I posted stuff, whether a comment or picture, I could decide if I only wanted family to see it or everyone. But then eventually I de-friended everyone that wasn't a trusted family/friend, so I didn't have to bother with that stuff.
Imagine being at your friend's house unaware that they are hiding a child they abducted after murdering her parents. this why i have trust issues
Hello Clarice

Watching this in 2023 and lemme just say, the progression is real. His videos, into and everything, have gotten so much more segmented and “professional”. 3:55 Señor Ballen is a national treasure🫡
Mr Ballen inspires me to work harder
I agree 💯
He moves his hands way too much now. Drives me crazy. Also drags out the story too much. Many details added that the writers now have no idea if true or not to stretch it out. I miss his writing of the stories, but I get why he sold to a fancy company. I would’ve too.
youve come so far in 2 years -- this was amazing but love watching how unsure you were to the brand youve become now - we are so proud of you!
Same. İ m here, un der this video for yhe first time. İ found this channel like a month ago. İ went though so many videos but i nevet saw this one and the very beginning of this video is incredibly sweet
A brand that censors half his words in Facebook :D...
@@momchilandonov Facebook is difficult to put stories on so most people over-censor to play it safe
As a disabled Navy veteran, Mr. Ballen's stories get me through my days. Can't really explain it, but it helps take my mind off of the day to day struggle. Thank you, sir for everything.
Thank you sir for your service protecting our beautiful country, words aren't enough to honour you and your heroism
I'm also a disabled Navy vet(CDN)and the same is true for myself. Mr. Ballen's subject matter and his recount of events without repetition (rare amongst his contemporaries) hold my attention helping me pass nights that sleep proves elusive. Fair winds and following seas brother.
And thank you for service as well sir!
Nate Doyle tyfys sir
Thnk u for your service Sir.. ✌ 🇺🇲
His storytelling has improved SO much in just a year.
I'm was just about to point that same thing. No trying to throw hate, but this video was boring to watch. I can't believe how narrative it's so importantbut this is a good prove of it. He latest videos are in another dimension.
@@Spinlayer absolutely agree. It's crazy how the newer ones have such a smoother flow.. And they're a lot more descriptive. Also notice in the newer videos he does a lot of small physical reenactments (if that makes sense).
@@Spinlayer the newer vids also have music throughout the story.
Motive is evil
Ive always really enjoyed his storytelling. Most of the time I dont get to watch tho, just listen :(
Jamie is from the next country over. We prayed a lot for her, that she would be found alive, and I think a girl from our church even knew her. That she escaped with her life is nothing less than pure bravery and a miracle. I'm so thankful she is alive and being cared for by family, friends and her community.
It isn't a "miracle". This guy was stupid enough to get cocky so to leave her without tie her up and locking the door.
That fact that she escaped was purely because of Jamie's strength and courage to run away! I wish she has a happy life!
It's a miracle he didn't kill her. If he had caught her trying to escape he probably would have done. She never knew, she could meet her death if she crawled out from under the bed, where he made her stay when he had people over or left. He threatened her & she saw him murder her parents. She was so brave & was in a rural area with not a lot of neighbors. The lady she found was just at her cabin not her regular home. He could have come & found her easily if she hadn't found that lady 1st. It was winter snow on the ground, and she was wearing his big tennis shoes, running for her life.
I heard about the Jayme Closs case as it happened, but up until now, I forgot that she was living in Barron when she got kidnapped. This past summer, I spent about 8 total weeks living in a hotel in Barron because of work, and the locals have done a damn fine job of not associating the event with their town. They clearly didn't want what Ed Gein did to Plainfield to happen to them
To be fair, this was just *one* kidnapping. Horrific nonetheless, obviously, but Ed Gein killed multiple people and was a graverobber, along with his crimes being more... unique, I guess. Along with that, Jayme was kept in a different town farther north. Her story involved multiple towns, not just Barron.
It's been a couple years since the incident. Life goes on. They probably talked a lot about it when it happened but it's relatively old news now, no? Every topic about it has probably been exhausted, and it's... not exactly fun to talk about.
That was my Aunt Jeanne and her dog Henry Standing Bear!! This happened near my home town and it was huge. She was a social worker and when Jamie ran up to her she knew exactly how to handle the situatuon. It was actually her cabin up there, and so just by chance she happened to be there at that time. Thank you for covering this story!!
Bless her, she's an unsung hero, for helping the most vulnerable. May she always be blessed! Thank her for us!
She was definitely her guardian angel or sent by hers! Thank God for that! Good woman and she did a great job(: hope you’re all well and having a nice safe day!
Send her my thanks and love for being such a great person with a loving heart.
She is a hero. God bless her😇
I hadn't heard this before as I live in Scotland, you're aunt sounds like an amazing woman and hope she is living a fantastic life, she deserves it ❤
Just because this was his first conviction, don’t just assume it’s his first crime.
True this is just the first time he got caught
Exactly sociopath delusional people could have more crimes than people know!!! He just got caught damit I hate when people make excuses for sociopath narcissistic walnut
Indeed!
It also doesn't mean that its not his first crime.
@@brandonconway4822 You really didn’t need to point that out, it was already obvious.
The way those people embraced her, and surrounded her, and took Jamie in protecting her with their own bodies makes me cry. I have not completely lost hope on humanity.
I remember this story and was happy she lived and seeing her mom killed is so sad. However it sounds like he did not sexually assault her so that is one good thing from a tragic story.
He was already put away for life for two murders and an abduction. Personally I believe Jayme just didn’t want anyone to know the things he did to her in the months she was there- seeing as those charges were already enough to keep him locked up forever. (I’m from Wisconsin, about 20 minutes from Barron (where her house was before they demolished it)
We'll never know. But he did scar her and murder her family. He is a disgusting waste of DNA.
@@sofianikole7295 that makes sense the lawyers may have told her it’s not needed. Because if she was hurt that way she would have to relive all that trauma. Some want their story’s known so they can show the world what kind of monster they are but some find it agonizing to relive it. I’m sure in her mind she wasn’t lucky to have lived because she was left alone and may have survivors guilt. Such a sad tragic event in this young girls life.
Uhhh, actually she was forced to share his bed. He is a registered sex offender directly bc of this case.
@@cdes1776uhhh, how many times are you going to comment this?
Who else has watched all of Mr. Ballens newer videos had has gone and watched some of the older videos? It’s so weird listening without the background music in the newer videos! 😅
😊
Yep. He was a really good channel back then, but you can see how he's grown over time and improved upon what he does. No matter how you think about it, this is still a form of entertainment- gruesome though it may be. And he has evolved over time into a very entertaining story teller with a slick presentation and animated hand movements, factial expressions and gestures that guide you along with what's going on and almost sort of drop you into the middle of the action. It's a great channel, and I came across reference to it in comments at another channel's video. I watched one and have been hooked ever since.

I recently discovered him and while binge watching I started with the most recent ones. When you get to the older ones you appreciate the growth he has made. Even in his story delivery... he has really grown into this and he is doing g this so perfectly. Clearly shows what happens when you commit to something
I pretty much stumbled across this channel accidentally and I haven't stopped watching since. I am a 37 year old man sitting listening to another grown man tell me scary stories 🙃. I dig it
32 year old man here, same exact story. No shame in listening to a dude that knows how to tell a story. 🤘
30 here lol
Man ,I started listening when there were 138 000 views. Love it . Down Under.
I'm 58 Aussie
Lol same
“They were shocked they finally found her”
They didn’t really find her.. she was brave and escaped to her safety.
Brave girl.
Lol anything to make themselves feel like the heros at the end of the day .
@Joshua Hammond you wouldnt be either. As a grown man, nevermind that shes a child...
@Joshua Hammond You say this, punching into your iPhone in the comfort of your home on a nice sofa in a thermo-regulated heated ventilated electricity-powered building.
@Joshua Hammond No, I don't and liking your own comment does not prove that.
It's weird. When men escape they are cowards. Usual expectation is that the women run and the men fight, and now it's even more twisted.
She wasn't brave though, she had average intelligence at the least... that's all you need to know you have to escape. don't know what standards you guys have lady, but I'm guessing holding a door etc is considered a good gesture and not common courtesy?
I can't believe I never saw this episode! It is so cool to see how much MrBallen's grown on all levels; story writing, production, etc 💛
If there's one positive in this horrible story, it's that he didn't sexually abuse her.
I never heard of this story before. I hope she has been able to process what happened to her and start healing. Very brave young girl.
Uhhh, actually she was forced to share his bed. He is a registered sex offender directly bc of this case.
@@cdes1776 no, she was underneath his bed, not in it. and he didn’t do anything sexual, at least that we know of...
They would sleep together I read. She's been through such horror perhaps those details were kept confidential somehow.
I believe that.
I remember when she was found . . . I'm not ashamed to admit that I cried.
No one would blame you.
It's a human emotion like any other and emotions exist to be felt. You're not made of stone, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. You're a human being with empathy for others.
Ain't nothing wrong with that. It just shows not all men are like that creep.
Never be ashamed, it's not shameful to show emotion especially for something this tragic.
@@Pumpkin0_0 my personal experience causes me to be cold and numb but I understand human behavior
I can't imagine seeing my parents shot to death in front of me, let alone be abducted and kept for months, not knowing what my fate is. Heartbreaking.
Oh God it’s heartbreaking. I’m sure I’d have died of a heart attack or something. It’s making me anxious just imagining how young me going through that. I wouldn’t have wanted to live.
My parents were also murdered in front of me when I was just 7....and that is why I became Batman
I am so jealous
My parents were child molesters so I could watch repeatedly
I hope heaven is real for people like Jayme and her parents 😪💔
How does it feels 2 years later 🔥 first time seeing and hearing him talking before storytelling.
Love all the shows
I’ve mainly been watching his more recent videos and then jumped to this older video. He has definitely progressed over time, in a good way. Keep it up man
Jayme goes to the same high school I did. We are all glad that shes back home safe, but this was an extremely traumatic event for her. She is getting better but it is going to take a lot more time for her to fully recover. Jayme if you ever read this, know that everyone here loves you, us small town kids need to stick together.
That was very sweet....and authentic. I’m an empath, and when I hear a trauma like Jayme’s, I’m always reminded of that saying, “ God does not give us more than we can handle”.........and I think that whoever made that quote didn’t really get human suffering all that well!
God might not give us more then we can handle but evil will
i will be soon 12 but i am smart
Man keep god out of it you looneys
She may never completely recover. A man with a deep psychosis that had somehow managed to keep it under control until he saw her, killed her parents, one in front of her, and held her prisoner for three months. Hopefully the family she is with now are seeing to it that she has the best therapy they can find because I have no idea how it would mess me up to know that I had been what triggered the surfacing of a mentally ill person's homicidal psychosis.
If you’re reading this, do not ever willingly go anywhere with someone attempting to abduct you. Even with a gun to your head, kick, scream, bite, GO CRAZY!!! It’s better to risk dying right there, because if they get you to a second location, it will be much much worse. They do not want a fighter, they want an easy target, and they wanted you for a specific reason, so them killing you right there is very unlikely, as it would defeat the purpose of your abduction. They’ll also then have to deal with a murder situation that is not what they meticulously planned out, so the odds of leaving evidence and getting caught go up dramatically, and they know this. Fight! Fight HARD! Never go willingly!
(Advice from a detective).
Absolutely agree... They usually have that second location because its safer for them (the killer) they know it and they are familiar... So so scary x
So then we just die there and not wait for some time to escape
@@santicheeks1106 the likelihood of them killing you right then is slim. They wanted you for a purpose. If you put up too big of a fight, they’re probably going to abandon mission. Once you are moved to location 2, the ball is in their court. They’ve likely prepped for this for a while. Don’t bank on escaping. So, yeah, I’d rather die right there instead of be tortured somewhere else. And some victims think that with time they can win sympathy from their abductor, and they’ll eventually release them. Not gonna happen. They’re psychopaths. That’s the type of creature you’re dealing with in these cases. They don’t have the ability to feel empathy.
@@santicheeks1106 if you let the person get you to a second location more than likely you're not going to escape, it really is better to risk your life making a scene that can bring attention to the situation.
Considering the cruel, torturous, acts that a lot of these people commit, I would much rather die at the point of abduction, rather than let them get me somewhere else.
Another thing is always carry something you can defend yourself with. Many everyday items that you can carry on you can be used lethally.
yeah I rather died that let my kidnapper take me scratch his skin to leave DNA. hes either gonna get scare and leave, still kidnapped me but leave enough evidence or worse case kill me
I live in Southern Wisconsin. As a parent this was a horrible case. I'm glad she has family to be with to help her through this trauma . God bless.
I've been watching dozens of your more recent videos lately so it is very interesting for me to see some of your earlier work and how you've evolved. I really enjoy your work. Keep it up.

As a former detective, I'll never understand why police agencies arriving en masse to a crime in progress, don't have one of the responding officers stopping (Code 6) any vehicle leaving the area, just to be sure. We always hear about suspects getting away, being passed by arriving officers. It happened in the Tim McVey case as well.
every car leaving the scene of a crime when the cops themselves don't know all the facts yet?
@@nancyvandenboomen984 It´s complicated, but this seemed to be a pretty evident home invasion with shots fired in a rural area at midnight in winter with a response time of around 5 minutes. It´s not freezing heavy traffic in a highway at peak hour. So if you can spare an agent to at least have a swift check of the car and take the license plate I say do it. Knowing this is standard practice would probably deter some criminals.
My abductor had to pass by the police as he fled. There was only one way out.
@@tresham79 Im really sorry you experienced that. Have a good year and a good life
I've been thinking exactly the same thing after all my recent Ballen bingeing.
These stories are unreal, and you tell them so well. Hope to keep seeing more in the future!🙏🏻
Wow the contrast in storytelling is astounding
He is a serial killer, this was just his first crime. His compulsion/thrill/motive was taking a girl from her family. He had no plan for what came afterwards. Like most serial killers, once the thrill is gone, and they have gotten away with the crime, they become careless. Fortunately he was caught before his compulsion returned.
Uhm that’s not the definition of serial killer but I feel you
That's what I was thinking. Given how much thought he put into the kidnapping process, I have a feeling he did this to Jayme simply for the thrill of the abducting and overpowering her. He didn't have a solid plan for what to do with her afterwards because having her already securely in his clutches wasn't the "fun part" for him.
He killed the Dad and the Mum, that's serial to me.
@Jason Shults who cares
I’m thinking he’s done this before… he killed two ppl and kidnapped a Child…. He has no problem lying … he had friends over with a kidnapped girl under his bed… he could’ve easily been a killer all along and he has no reason to admit it to police
That woman holding her and taking her to the neighbors house and then all of them getting weapons out and standing around her to protect her made my heart so happy to hear. I can imagine all the emotions and the safeness she felt in that moment, as much as she can, since every emotions she’s held in especially about her parents are flooding in.
She must have been scared too and understandably paranoid thinking that might hand her over to her perpetrator
she probably let out the BIGGEST sigh of relief in history. God bless her, all she did was get on the bus one morning.
Right 😭 I can only imagine all the emotions that flooded in.. knowing she’s free from him, hopefully.. but now that she’s from him she doesn’t have her home or parents to go home too.. 😢I hope she stayed in contact with the lady walking her dog that she ran up to. Hopefully she’ll continue to provide some sort of emotional comfort to her. since I would hope that every time Jamie sees the woman it gives her a sense of love/comfort to see her. But definitely a crazy story and I pray she will overcome this and be as okay as possible but that poor girl will never be anywhere near the same. This guy completely destroyed her and her life 😢
This must have been one of if not the first video Mr. Ballen did.
He has become the best storyteller I’ve ever heard.
Its interesting that it seems your comment sections will be active even way later in life. You will never lack an audience. Amazing work.
He did It because he wanted to. Their doesn't need to be a reason. He's just a cold hearted person.
Imagine being in the victims position. A 13 year old girl who witnessed her parents being murdered and held captive. Just because there doesn’t need to be a reason to us, doesn’t mean that victim wouldn’t want a reason as to why she had to lose her family all because someone is “cold hearted.”
@@Stephfleshman17 ... You missed the point of my comment. I'm only stating my opinion. He doesn't need to give a reason for her to feel better about It.
Maybe there is a reason, he just didn't confess, maybe he is schizophrenic and a voice told him, what to do or he is just another crazy person out there.
You know....sometimes you think you know people, until you find out, you don't know them and what are they capable of.
Yeah Jose...idk why people assume there's always a 'reason'... We call them 'reasons' because they make sense if you use reason. Many of these people don't have brains that work like a normal brain, there doesn't have to be anything other than someone having impulses that they choose to act on. It sucks, but it's life.
Yeah there will be a reason, just not one most of us would accept because we like to think we would choose differently. The scary thing is that it's only luck that you're not him. If you were him and went through his life all the way up until that point, you would do the same thing he did. There wouldn't be some tiny part of the you that you are today but in his body, you would literally be exactly him. And it's only luck that you weren't born as him. I still don't feel sorry for his punishment, and think it should be worse, but I'm so grateful that I was born as me, or at least one of us 'normal' people who makes mistakes we can all recover from
Fun fact: This happened very close to where I live and my best friend used to know Jayme... I know a lot about this topic. My parents didn't even want me to go to school because they had no idea what the man was after. The amber alerts we got were terrifying. It was not a fun time and we very much miss James and Denise.
Emma Mrozinsky 2 oh my goodness that’s so scary. I’m sorry for your whole community. What a horrible loss.

You have a voice that is very understandable and clear. And just the way you explain how it happen is amazing. Thank you .
Watching this in 2023. Its amazing to see how much ur channel has grown! You are a legend for that! Love ur channel, love the stories! I never had tik tok I actually found U on youtube and now im a MrBallen Fan For Life!
Your channel isn't the only one on youtube that tells these kinds of stories, but yours IS the only one who tells them realistically, with a normal speaking tone of voice, and with sympathy for the victims. That's why your channel is the only one I like to watch despite it being one among many. Your subscriber count agrees with me.
Right? It doesn't glamorize the whole true crime Story's and shows respect to the victims and I agree it's told realistically without over sensationalism unlike the MSM.

Mr. Ballen, I just want to say I am so grateful for the new catalogue of your episodes. It's a great night to binge watch and get totally creeped out!
There was a 10,000 dollar reward for Jayme for whoever found her and the money was given to her because she basically found herself.
Good!!!
Good for her
Oh that's so awesome! I live in MN so there was no shortage of media coverage about this horrific crime during that time but I hadn't heard about this specifically. Regardless, it goes without saying that Jayme deserves it.
Nowhere near enough money. She needs a gofundme page
Fucking spoiler
I can't imagine what she was going through. She saw her parents DIE in front of her and forced out of HER OWN house by a complete stranger who just killed them. Then she was forced to be under a bed for months still trying to figure out how to escape but grieve over her parents death. God she's so strong and at such a young age too bless her soul.
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
Her father ''didn't believe in guns'' and therefore brought a flashlight to a gun fight, to protect his family.

I got a shiver of relief when you got to the part where the first thing the woman does after finding Jamie is hug her and tell her she's safe.
That moment nearly had me tearing up. I'm so glad she hugged her
As soon as he said she hugged her close I just burst into tears.

@@DeltaModelX because there are a lot of fucked up people in the world, and the idea that the first person jayme ran into could have taken advantage of her vulnerable state is horrifying in itself.
How bizarre. As a past victim, I've seen true evil in someone's eyes. It's like they aren't even all there at the time when they assault you. It's so frightening that those people are out there.

Man, it really gets me teary eyed when you hear/see the contrast of good and evil in humans.

This case was so odd, Jamie only lived 15 minutes away from my house and our community which was your typical rural family town was flipped overnight. Everyone was on edge, my dad bought over $500 in security cameras and made me sleep with my 20 gauge shot gun under my bed. My mom is literally friends with the woman who found Jamie. As I am really into true crime, it was insane to actually fear if "I'm going to be next" like so many other communities fear of. My love and regards goes out to Jamie and her family, the best part about the community was just the overwhelming support we had for her upon her arrival. I was also very happy to see everyone give her space and time to process without intruding on her privacy.
How's she doing now? Poor girl had to go through so much trauma...
I worked with Jamie’s dad at Jennie-O.
So sad to hear people think she was involved when her mom LITERALLY called 911 as it was happening. I hope and pray she has gotten help and is surrounding herself with supportive wonderful people! It sounds like your community was absolutely amazing. Thank God for that!
WTF... Jamie only lived 15 minutes away from your house, yet she was kept hostage 70 miles away. And still your mom is literally friends with the woman who found Jamie in a community 70 miles from your community? What a coincidence... Or a bullsht...
you lived close? what kind a neighborhood was that? I knew where I grew up you hear shots in a neighbours horse everyone is gonna try and help!
You’re such a great storyteller! It’s truly a talent.
wow.. one of the early videos! I just found MrBallen a couple months ago (it's July/2023), and I'm absolutely obsessed with his channel, binge-watching as many videos as I can. I have a feeling I'm not alone! Fun fact, after a couple weeks of watching MrBallen videos, I bought a 1-inch wood dowel rod and cut it to the right length to use as an insert for the track of my sliding glass door to keep it from being opened, you know, like an extra lock in addition to the actual lock on the sliding glass door. :)

Just when I thought I’ve seen all your videos at least once, I get so excited when i find a new (to me ) video. I’ve only watched the intro so far and I wanted to say Mr. Ballen your one of my favorite 2 you tubers. I absolutely have been hooked since my husband stumbled upon one of your videos. You always Show so much respect for the victims. You speak so clearly and explain things that gives the watcher clarity of the situation, explain certain technical terms that the average person might not understand. In this video I explain where this is it first week of doing two stories in one week and you explain about your 3 kids and working at your job and trying to juggle it all. Whereas some of your newer videos you say you upload 3,4 or 5 times a week. I knew you had kids from your Instagram account and with everything else I was wondering how you juggle it all. However i see more recently you haven’t been uploading to you tube as often.
While I love your videos and get totally excited when I get to see a new video. I totally understand why there’s been a cutback. I still don’t know how u juggle it all. Anyhow I’m wishing a very happy new year to you and your family. Keep the videos coming. I watch them all at least twice and during the week I listen to your podcast everyday, from the time I get there until I get off. You definitely have a loyal watcher/listener in me. Thank you for entertaining me and lifting my spirits up when I’m having a rough day, which unfortunately has been often lately. Happy New Years to you and yours love ya
I live in like 5 minutes down the road from her old house. My cousin was close friends with her. She’s doing really good now considering the circumstances. The community really came together for her. Honestly though if she hadn’t escaped she probably never would have been found. I’m so thankful that she had the bravery to do that. It was really scary though in town for a bit and the fact that there was nothing to lead us to her was terrifying.
Someone’s probably gonna day something like as if but saying that are the people that say that thinking a victim has no friends
nuggety goodness what?
Colegladiator Doesgames read it but without the typo and say instead of day
OH YOUR COUSIN IS EVERYBODY FRIEND. THE DAM HOOKER.
Wow dude that’s crazy. I hope y’all still good.
During the intro, all I could think was, "Your daughter(s) are so lucky!" A retired Navy SEAL and true crime/mystery presenter for a father = No one will mess with them! Go Dad Mr. Ballen!
and if they did, he would also have hundreds of thousands of subscribers and "Team Guys" helping him out.
So silly this remark (your daughters are so lucky because your a navy seal). anything can happen to anyone at anytime . This point was just proven. Evil doesn't need a reason. And when Evil wants to strike and take one of yours it doesn't matter if you're a Navy SEAL, a policeman, or an average Joe. Nobody's one has nothing to do with the other.
I enjoy the stories and I appreciate that no loud music is played. Thanks 👍
Thank you for sharing these various stories. I’ve told some of them to my students and they truly enjoy them. They work just to hear another new story. Also, thank you for your service. God Bless
I feel like stories that lack a motive are much scarier than ones with a motive. Both are respectively scary in their own ways but there is a sense of dreadful mystery that leaves you anxious when someone lacks motive
Totally this 👆🏻
someone said she was his sex slave... theres always a motive even if its just to do something wicked.
Like someone said, evil just needs an opportunity.
I'm pretty sure the motive was sexual obsession but hey what do I know...
The motive was sex, but he felt bad after murdering her parents and never followed through before she escaped
The woman that helped Jayme had guns In the house had them ready as they called the cops made me say "hell yeaaa"
It was her neighbors house not her house but yes thank goodness they saved her
That’s Wisconsin 💛💚
@@RoyalHoneyRopes Yes indeed, this was absolutely gold from these neighbors to be loaded and ready to protect her to the fullest extent.
It meant "You are safe little girl, we are all here for you and we will not let anyone come anywhere near you nor will we let anything else happen to you little Jayme."
I command them all for their immediate response and protection 🥺🙏💙
Exactly and it is a tragedy her parents didn't have them and all family members been educated about gun safety and time at the range (or woods LOL)
Just goes to show how important our 2nd Amendment is in this country. Gun safety should be a basic skill for all Americans.
Good day MrBallen,
I recently got suggestions about your videos; started watching them and I can't stop. It's the first time that I see an older video; I just want to tell you how much you've grown!
You were already a good storyteller, but the latest video's really look pro to me. Thank you for sharing the stories and telling them as respectful and 'normal' as you do. I hope you keep going for a long time!

@@barnabykent6698 gun control will make more cases like Jamie's happen. GET GUNS
@@savagetv6460 wouldn't gun control logically have less of these cases happen though? As there would be less guns in criminal hands as well?
@@hingeslevers that worked so well for making weed illegal
@@hingeslevers No, that’s not what would happen. What would actually happen is the criminals would still get their guns illegally. And then it would turn regular people into criminals if they want to have a firearm to protect themselves and/or their families. Therefore, there would be many more dangerous people armed than regular people, giving the criminals the upper hand. Gun control doesn’t make anything better. Guns don’t kill people, people kill people. Guns DO however save many innocent people/victims of violent crimes from situations that could’ve cost them their lives had they not been armed. Making things illegal does NOT stop anyone who really wants the illegal item from obtaining it. Also, think about this.. the more regular/non-violent people that are carrying (a firearm, legally of course).. the more likely a mass shooter could be stopped much sooner than if most people are not armed, etc.

What a truly heartbreaking and senseless case. Was great to find an early story I hadn’t seen and to see how far you’ve come.
She was just going to school, getting on the bus with NO CLUE that the man parked behind the bus has seen her and was like “she’s mine” and started coming up with a plan to get her. That is the most chilling thing to think about…. That day she just went about her day, talking to friends, just living life happy. It makes me nauseous. This poor girl.

You can tell how much better he has gotten at speaking with these. Much more confident and cohesive nowadays.
I wish he kept it simple like this. No music and no weird like rant
I often wonder what possesses people that commit these horrendous crimes. Why do people rape, murder, rob, kidnap....
I used to be a trusting person, but I've grown to realize that you can't trust ANYONE. It doesn't matter how close you get to someone, how long you've known them. People can turn on you in a second. It's truly scary what "normal" people are capable of doing.
Trust is a priceless gift that must be earned. Please don’t make my mistake believing everyone is evil. I encourage you to read “The Gift of Fear” by Gavin de Becker. The fundamental message is if you feel uneasy about an individual, respect that feeling and never allow yourself to be alone with that person. There ARE good and decent people in the world; don’t wall yourself off from them and deny yourself love and true friendship.
I’m always pondering that too. I always say to ppl when they bring up the Holocaust, “this is what human beings are capable of when filled with fear and hatred.” There’s pure evil out there and there’s also the endlessly complicated human psyche. I was sheltered growing up and Lived in a pink and purple cloud world with unicorns and rainbows. 😂 lol. Then, I realized evil and bad people were “out there.” But never thought I would encounter any. But evil could be in your friends, or bf/gf. Or your neighbor who you share pleasantries with. Crazy.
They have no morals, they are lazy and want what they want, they don't care about anyone but themselves. I work with people like this at my work place. They talk a lot. All they care about is themselves. I have made it known to all of them and to all of the small town I live in. I will hunt them like a rabid dog if anything happens to any of my family. I'm a trucker, and I have no problem with violence if need be. I love my guns. They all know. I never look down or away from a predator. I want them to know I will be super trouble. Even if I'm not armed. I have fighting skills. Blind, choke, deafen...it's bad for them for sure.
@@ladonnad.steele2470 i am also like this. Everyone who knows me believes i have killed. I dont dissuade them.
Trust is earned but it can be obtained
I live in Wisconsin, just 30 minutes north of Gordon where Jayme Closs was being held captive. So many of us shared her picture over and over again on social media. I think I checked every girl that passed by me that looked like she might be about her age. We all feared the worst after the amount of time that had passed, and what that psycho did to her parents, but we never stopped sharing her picture. When she was found it felt like a victory for everyone, we got one back. I only pray that the trauma that was caused to Jayme will be healed, and the pain of her loss lessened. This monster (name specifically left out) deserves the death penalty.
Thought America wiped stained smellies like this, for good ¿?

MB - I love watching your videos because you’re such an engaging storyteller. Sometime ago I was married to a sociopath. Didn’t find that out until well into the marriage. He became emotionally abusive and then went after his kids physically. I protected those kids like a tiger. He was huge. 6 foot two about 200 pounds, and he boxed and lifted weights. He was a real athlete. I was very close to my step children and, having been abused myself, I felt like I had the strength of 10 men when I got in between him and his children. And he was never able to strike one of them. His ex-wife called to thank me and we started comparing notes and it turned out he had been telling me unbelievable lies from the very beginning. Eventually he started hitting me and then cheated on me. I was seeing a therapist. In our sessions I kept struggling trying to figure out how this guy was thinking and what his motives were. Eventually my therapist said, “look your brain is different from his. You will never be able to think like him or understand the way he’s thinking. But you need to get away from him because eventually he’s going to kill you.“ And so I left. He put me through a hellish divorce but he’s long been out of my life thank goodness. The point is that when you kept talking about how this didn’t make sense and there needed to be a motive I immediately thought about what my therapist told me. Mr. Ballen, you are such a good guy you will never ever be able to think like this man, or understand his thinking, or ever be able to figure it out. Your brain is just too different structurally. Thanks for your service to our country and for putting out a great channel.

I dont wanna imagine I am a 20 smthn man who listens to him at night and true crime and mystery always gets me
These are my bedtime stories
I came here to post "I wonder what bedtime stories are like at the Ballen household." haha
Lol, dad’s home...RUN!!!
Lol. Given his kids look like they are 5 and under I doubt they’re scary. His youngest was born in September. (Instagram)
Watching old early videos from MrBallen truly shows bar for his grind has got him in life from a humble beginning on tiktok to being a UA-cam and Amazon Icon it’s amazing to see. If there aren’t any major documentary companies trying to make a film about his life than they definitely need to. I would watch/support any MrBallen videos ever 💙👏🏻
Thank you for all the work you do, all the stories. ❤
