bruh i'm in nj and if i ever came home to smth like that.......bish i could flee to thailand, surgically transition further than i even genuinely want to, and become a freakin monk, and i STILL wouldn't feel safe 😭 like how does one just continue as a conscious being on earth after that???? i couldn't share a planet with that!!!
My dad was one of the lead investigators on this case! He was there when he was arrested, interviewed him after his arrest, and testified heavily at his trial. I was 12 years old when all of this was going on and I still remember it like it was yesterday
Is he by any chance the investigator that rader asked the question why did you tell me you couldn't trace me with the floppy disk, and the investigator answered, "because I wanted to catch you"?
My wife knew your mom and dad she work at west high school when he got caught and took a class where your dad shown some of the information about the case your dad was a great man R.I.P detective L.
That's incredible! I'd have so Many questions for your dad. Lol I assume you're from Wichita area? I used to talk to him so many times. I was 18 and driving to college every morning. I could have so easily been his victim. It's so crazy.
My grandpa and I was talking about you the other day. Even he said “no one does it like she does”. He says you’re great at telling the stories. He’s 74 & loves your videos!❤️
@@kirstinbaucom8108 Sending you & Pa my love! Keep enjoying time together. I miss my grandfather & am enjoying hearing about you spending time with yours. 🙂
not taking his side, however being completely ignored, being rejected by a parent, basically having to parent siblings is a form of abuse. not in a physical way but the most damaging way psycholgically. Children need to be shown love and attention, to be nurtured. to feel wanted. and needed.
the really sad truth as to why so many people turn out this way in the US, specifically, is the fact that we're the only country out of 38 within the OECD that does not entitle its people to ANY minimum paid family leave. almost all of us, here, are separated from our parents before we're old/securely attached enough to be ready. even in attentive parents, it's really easy to miss red flags like these when you have to choose between providing for your child and actually raising them. we as a culture are uniquely situated to export violent offenders - it helps to keep our prisons packed with workers whose fair compensation (like the rest of their humanity) ceases to matter the moment they enter the system. y'know, on top of all the nonviolent substance convictions that serve the same purpose? our social infrastructure isn't designed to make us healthy. we're raised to be capital meant to produce as much revenue as possible with as little cost as possible, to some seriously irrational and counterintuitive ends. no wonder the rest of the world pities us.
i think there really is no way to be born wrong. you can only be born into a setting that can meet your needs or into a setting that won't. regrettably for all of us, dennis rader just happened to be born in the US.
@@asmokeus people are born with non functioning parts of the brain that are integral to empathy, remorse, and control. (orbitofrontal cortex in example) I don’t think there’s a country anywhere where you can function in human society like that. It isn’t their fault, but it’s certainly not right.
Ilive here and I was working at a nightclub called America's Pub during this period of time and so you had to dress pretty risque . I remember having to walk out to my car at 3:04 in the morning by myself because the bouncers wouldn't want us to our car even though it was the most popular Club in Wichita at the time and at that time BTK said he already had his next victim lined up and was currently stalking them and I was absolutely terrified. All of us ladies were buying guns, pepper spray, tasers anything that we could legally buy we bought and carried on us even if our employer didn't allow us to. When I heard that they caught him it was like a hundred pounds lifted off my shoulder because every single woman in Wichita was terrified some of them wouldn't even leave their houses. Thank you for doing a cover on the story.
That’s so scary! I remember how terrified everybody was when Richard Ramirez was active in Los Angeles. I was a kid and I remember being scared enough to make sure my curtains were closed every night in my room so if he came to our house he couldn’t see in. What you experienced was even worse!
Times kind of off, but for sure he was still out there. We definitely had parents warn us about him as he’d not been caught, but during America’s Pub days he wasn’t active. Sorry you were scared during those days!! As a Wichitan, glad he finally was caught!!
Great job covering this POS, Bailey. My husband and I worked at EDCF back then. My husband processed him into state custody. The arrogance was strong in that one! His confession in court was like a performance. He was enjoying the attention. You got it right saying he is a big old baby. He loves being a "celebrity," but now he is just an old man with a number instead of a name. He lost his family and his freedom, and seems perfectly OK with that, because he got the notoriety he craved. He wife even changed her name and left the state. Can you imagine finding out your spouse was such a POS? A lot of officers and inmates at EDCF had connections to his victims, so he is in administrative segregation, where he is alone in a cell except for one hour of outdoor exercise, alone.
They cart him to Larned for breakfast at least some days. I'd imagine they do this because he's a security risk. Like, for some reason, having him at, "home," on Sunday mornings exposes him to a heightened threat level. 🤷🏼♀️
As a lifelong Wichitan…I remember the chaos and fear everyone in town felt when this was happening. My sisters now a corrections officer in his unit in prison and he’s just considered old and feeble. It blows my mind. This guy was a sicko.
@@divinecommerce3912he's basically in solitary confinement. It's been a while since my friend quit working in the prisons, so that may be different now but I kind of doubt it.
@princessarvie6456 i just said the same thing. Those clips are destroying this channel. Before clips, MMM would've had a million or moee views by now but it's at 250k... people not clicking because like us they think it's just another clip. I don't understand the reason for the clips tbh.
You are literally the only channel I can watch without subtitles. Thank you for having great pronunciation, makes the life of this foreigner her a LOT easier
I even need them 90% of the time as an American listening to Americans! It’s definitely nothing to do with you being “this foreigner”! 😂❤ People mumble so much!
“Sparky?! Yea…. So there’s that!” Ma’am, now I’m upset that I even know that! 😂 Bailey’s comic relief is so relatable when she’s telling the stories of these sickos!
not even just A home security company - THE home security company, at least until alternative systems like simplisafe started to get popular 😰 this was THE main option to protect your home, and even that wasn't safe!!!! how scary 😩
I’ve lived in Wichita for 43 years and know two women that were almost his victims. One knew him very well and let him come in when she was 7 months pregnant. He brought in a big “Dr bag” with him but she didn’t think much of it, assumed it was dog catcher related. When Dennis was caught completely off guard by her dad who’d just come out of a back room, he immediately got absolutely irate for no understandable reason and stormed off. He never came by after that. It was 20 years later when he was arrested that it all made sense.
Bailey's closing talk about how mind-boggling it is for these people to exist is exactly how I feel about every true crime documentation I hear where a spouse kills their partner without that partner ever having guessed that anything was even wrong in the first place. Like just imagine going to sleep every night with that one person you know you can trust to SAVE your life, to keep you safe, and that's exactly who you wake up to standing over you with a weapon and zero mercy.
@@reginasreal7015I would honestly say, I’d NEVER give 100% of myself to someone again. That 1% is MINE. We’ve all mostly either been through some sort of abuse/domestic violence or knows someone that lived through it. I could never ever trust someone 100% ever after my past: as that 100% nearly killed me. Not just once either. It’s horrible to have to live knowing you’ll never be able to give 100% to someone but that 1% could save my life. It’s depressing. REAL depressing. Yet vital in my opinion.
He was back in the news late last year with other crimes contributed to him. His daughter is an incredibly interesting woman, she helps others effected by violent crimes. Anyone who doesn't allow their spouse into their "work spaces" like sheds & basements - Big Red Flag
I was born and raised in Park City and a teenager when BTK was caught. One of our dogs was an escape artist and that horrendous man was our dog catcher, and had even been in our house at least once. Thank you so much for covering this story respectfully.
My dad grew up down the road from him! He took me to see the plot where his house formally was; it was less than a block from my dad’s house. He was friends with their family and caught their dogs too! Crazy.
Can we all just take a moment and shout out a cheer for Bailey for not stumbling on the word "rural"! I could never! As always, amazing coverage. Thank you for sharing with us.
@KittyCat260 I've lived in WI my whole life and i didn't know people struggled with rural until all the recent stuff making fun of americans for not being able to say it.
My brother and i were close growing up. He even taught me self defense to keep myself safe. The beginning of this month he tried to take my life. I think when you love someone you don't want to believe that they are capable of such evil. So even if you see the signs you dismiss them. No one wants to believe their loved one is a monster.
I personally LOVE hearing about their upbringing and past life history. You really do a great job on your research on people and their pasts. I agree with you, that knowing the upbringing gives you a sense of why they became who they did. LOVE YOU BAILEY! You do an amazing job!
It’s scary how well he fooled his wife and church. He was super active in his church, too… It’s hard for me to believe that *no one* felt sus about him. I bet a few church members were giving him side eye and once he was caught were like, “I knew something was wrong with him!!!” Oh to be a fly on the wall in those gossip circles after his arrest. 😂
Not really everyone affiliated with the church has something wrong with them so it is no great surprise that he was in with the church crowd I always remember grandma trying to make me go when I was a kid luckily for me Grandpa was the master and ruler of the house and so I didn't have to
You know there had to be one person that was like “I don’t like him, I have a bad feeling” and everyone dismissed them as being a hater or jealous or something when they were right.
Most likely his wife at least sensed something, but was dismissive about red flags. That is way it's important to share these stories - to learn to spot them. Maybe I overthinking now 🤔
So many of these guys are like that!! John Wayne Gacy was the same!! Or at least he was considered a pillar in his community, I don’t think he was married. But ugh it’s so creepy.
We moved to Wichita KS in 1990. A friend of ours grew up here & told me about being terrified during BTK's "rampage" in the 70s. She was a young, single woman at the time, who lived alone - BTK's prime target.
I'm so happy hearing all of this from Bailey.... She just delivers and explains true crime stories in the best, fun and intellectual way possible ❤️❤️❤️ Love you guys from this channel so so oh sxxoxo muxh!
I’m from Wichita, KS! I remember when I was a little girl my mom was so scared that he was back after all those years. She would walk the house every time we came back home with a bat and she had someone come and safety proof our home. I just remember feeling a sense of peace once he was caught because my mom felt such peace. What a scary time to remember. What an awful man. May his victims rest in peace✨🙏🏼
Girl I’m from Hutchinson, KS but played soccer in Wichita, so crazy when one of these stories is so close to home, my mom was down the road when he was arrested💀🥲
This is literally the most chill and relatable I've ever seen you be. Like so much more calm and easier to follow/keep up with. Favorite episode since day 1
This one hits close to home, literally. My great aunt (by marriage) is his cousin! Their whole family was at his wedding and keep in contact with his daughter, who is amazing. My exhusband and I owned a home right around the corner from his and some of the victims homes. They had to tear his house down because creeps kept buying it. I totally agree with you that he’s one of the scariest there was - he didn’t know his victims nor did he do it randomly, he planned and stalked them. It really was a dark period of time for the community, all the older locals can tell you stories and I can’t imagine being around at that time.
I’m from Wichita and I was surprised that you did this story. I was really young, but my mom was always very scared of BTK. Thank you for shedding light on a sad and weird time in Wichita’s history. The family wouldn’t have wanted to be mentioned so thank you for also staying true to a story.
I just realised that I discovered Bailey in May 2021 when I was struggling to finish my Bachelor thesis. Today, May 13, 2024, I am again struggling finishing my Master thesis but still watching Bailey:)) Love youuu
"How do we end it friends...?" Yeah, Bailey. Snoop in the basement. Do an effing background check. Trust next to nobody. Be aware of your surroundings. Walk with purpose. Utilize your community's lawful means to protect yourself. ❤. Love you there and back. ❤ The green eyeshadow *sends* me. Love it.
I’ll never forget when he resurfaced; it was all everyone talked about for months then suddenly I was watching him being caught on the news. We knew his neighbors since they went to our church. She had known him for decades. How they found him was WILD.
idk about makeup, but generally these female true crime channels are awesome. I find it more entertaining just listening to one person talk about a case than all these interviews and stuff
It's awesome that you cover so many Midwestern cases, they're often overlooked and I have no clue why! It's fascinating to hear about, especially being from the area.
I love watching what color eyeshadow you do in each video. Each color you do almost makes your eyes change a color. At the beginning of this video before you started your eyes looked almost grey or light brown, once you started adding the green your eyes look more green now :O is that just me? lol I LOVE IT
just for feedback purposes, i honestly dont like rundowns, i like to hear the story and collect my impressions as it goes along, not knowing what comes already ❤ love your vids, paired with your sense of humor its so unique and relatable
I heard you had a surgery, I totally understand what that’s like and I really hope you got rest and sunshine and peace of mind while you healed. I am so glad you are ok and that you are back!
Poor Ruthie. All parties involved should have been charged😢 such a sad story. But you wiping your makeup off then giving up and wearing your hood made me feel so understood😂❤️
Since you asked our opinion a few times- I can do without the TLDR Rundown at the beginning. I love the story time format. LOVE to hear about family, personal, and early life. Thank you, Bailey!!! See you next time 💜
Bailey your videos always make me feel like im listening to my best friend telling me about some crazy thing she read about on the internet and its so comforting. Love your videos, love you!
One of the things i love about Monday videos is Bailey goes from a beautiful bare faced young woman to a beautiful painted faced young woman. The make up just highlights her natural beauty.
Can i just say when I'm in the mood for true crime but don't want it that serious or scary, i always come back to you. It really is like what other people say as in it feels like you're sitting down with your best friend like, "OH GIRL DID YOU HEAR?" It's also really inspiring how when you first started you were fairly awkward and now you seem so confident and i love it. Don't stop being you
It's so weird hearing her talk about my hometown like this! Dang. I remember having nightmares about him dragging me into a basement by my hair. I was 10 years old when he got caught. A lot of these details i didnt know about. My step mother at the time worked at a mobile home park across the street from his church, I remember the relief on my mom when he got caught, not having to worry about it any more.
I'm from Minnesota, and one case that was super big, was the Jacob Wetterling case! The verdict, and the way the crime was put to justice....was honestly crazy...
Hey Bailey, thank you so much for this video, I've heard it a lot of times but I always find something new when you tell the story. I was watching the one about Chris Watts the other day, back then you were only starting this MM&M journey and boy, look how much you have grown! Please keep going, I absolutely love your videos, can't wait for next Monday to come just to see if there is a new upload. Speaking of which, I just came across this very disturbing case the other day, a guy by the name of Andre Thomas did a terrible thing to his own family, and then he kind of, blinded himself... I hope you consider to talk about this sometime, and as you always say, please be safe out there and remember we all love you very much! Greetings from Mexico ❤
ooohhh! hometown sk story by Bailey. i remember being in middle school when they caught him... down the street from where i lived 🥲. also his daughter is such a warrior
I have been waiting for this episode, having lived in Wichita during the BTK years. His capture came as a shock, but there was a palpable sense of relief in the community knowing he was finally off the streets.
Creepy fact (for my family at least), Rader lived 2 houses down from my Aunt and Uncle. Over hearing my family talk about the case at family gathering is the reason I fell into the true crime community at a young age. BTK is also the reason my Aunt/Uncle along with my Great Grandfather moved from Park City to Kansas City. I was a senior in HS when he was arrested and we all found out my Aunt/Uncle knew him as a 'great and helpful neighbor to have'...
I have lived here in Wichita my whole life. My mom actually had a run in with BTK when I was a kid. I will always remember being terrified as he tried to break down the door.
When I was in the psychward at 19, one of the people I shared the ward with. They said that they knew someone that was a cellmate with BTK, they described him as quiet and polite.
What a sicko BTK was. Real lucky he's behind bars locked up, never to see the light of day again Bailey. Love your makeup and the way you present your videos. Keep up with informing us. You go girl!! 😘❤ Aussie Sam OXO
Hi friends
You're actually my favorite person ever I can rewatch all your videos on repeat
Hello beautiful! Here to get my MMM fix! 🥰🥰
Please do some more videos on Australia! ❤
Hi Bailey
I loved your makeup today!!
Supposedly he left a note in the lady's house who was not home, saying, "You're lucky you weren't here, because I was..." That haunts me!
bruh i'm in nj and if i ever came home to smth like that.......bish i could flee to thailand, surgically transition further than i even genuinely want to, and become a freakin monk, and i STILL wouldn't feel safe 😭 like how does one just continue as a conscious being on earth after that???? i couldn't share a planet with that!!!
@@asmokeusI’m with you on that one ! I’d NOPE tf outta there sooooo fast 😵💫
I'd move! Idc what I'd have to do. No way I'd ever go back to my home seeing that note. Nope!
I think her name was Anna , he left a note telling her he stopped by and she wasn't there
His daughter is such a lovely lady ,Total inspiration.The work she does for victims is astounding.
I'm so glad you mentioned her!!
She is absolutely amazing! She opened my eyes to how the families of these murderers are also victims.
Yes, I've seen quite a few interviews and she is so honest. My heart goes out to her.
That warms my heart to read. She went through something most of us can't imagine; she seems like an incredibly strong and kind person.
Didn't she try to sue stephen king

“Floppy disk and his daughters Pap smear” are words I would’ve never even dreamed of being in a cohesive sentence
Do kids even know what a floppy disk is? 😂
@@brownmonkey86 yes?
His daughter just recently confronted him in prison.
My kids definitely dont. I mentioned it a few months back and got blank stares lol they are 15, 13, 10, 8, and 3. @brownmonkey86
I hate that his daughter’s Pap smear is in any way involved…
BTK is scary to me because there is no known history of trauma/abuse. Him showing signs so young just makes you feel like he was born wrong…
not taking his side, however being completely ignored, being rejected by a parent, basically having to parent siblings is a form of abuse. not in a physical way but the most damaging way psycholgically. Children need to be shown love and attention, to be nurtured. to feel wanted. and needed.
I will agree with the previous commenter what do you mean "no sign of abuse"? like, since when neglect stopped being abuse and causing trauma?

What's the book called?
I wanna know tooo
Google it y’all lol
Same
The part about the cinder block through the sliding glass door in Kerry's book GOT ME. Haunting.

not even just A home security company - THE home security company, at least until alternative systems like simplisafe started to get popular 😰 this was THE main option to protect your home, and even that wasn't safe!!!! how scary 😩
I'm sure a lot of questionable people work for home security companies. We really shouldn't be trusting anyone we don't know very very well.
My mother never trusted security companies. She always said that if you wanted to rob someone that is where you would work

@@reginasreal7015I’d say it’s best to remain cautious and not be completely oblivious, just to be aware but not to the point it comes in between you 😊
@@reginasreal7015I would honestly say, I’d NEVER give 100% of myself to someone again. That 1% is MINE. We’ve all mostly either been through some sort of abuse/domestic violence or knows someone that lived through it. I could never ever trust someone 100% ever after my past: as that 100% nearly killed me. Not just once either.
It’s horrible to have to live knowing you’ll never be able to give 100% to someone but that 1% could save my life. It’s depressing. REAL depressing. Yet vital in my opinion.
They definitely seek out doormats for partners , people who don’t question them or stay quiet out of fear if they even do so.
Can we talk about the fact that Bailey doesn’t stumble over “rural” anymore?! 🎉🎉🎉
He was back in the news late last year with other crimes contributed to him. His daughter is an incredibly interesting woman, she helps others effected by violent crimes. Anyone who doesn't allow their spouse into their "work spaces" like sheds & basements - Big Red Flag
I was born and raised in Park City and a teenager when BTK was caught. One of our dogs was an escape artist and that horrendous man was our dog catcher, and had even been in our house at least once. Thank you so much for covering this story respectfully.
My dad grew up down the road from him! He took me to see the plot where his house formally was; it was less than a block from my dad’s house. He was friends with their family and caught their dogs too! Crazy.
"We wouldn't be mad. We wouldn't mind. - I'm sorry, that's mean - but is it? Not really." 🤣
Read your comment as Bailey said it 😅
No, we wouldn’t mind
Can we all just take a moment and shout out a cheer for Bailey for not stumbling on the word "rural"! I could never! As always, amazing coverage. Thank you for sharing with us.
So is it a standard American thing not to be able to say "rural"? 😂 I had no idea you were all struggling so hard 🤣
@@KittyCat260I'm Canadian and I struggle with it... 🙄
I thought the same thing 🤣❤
@KittyCat260 I've lived in WI my whole life and i didn't know people struggled with rural until all the recent stuff making fun of americans for not being able to say it.
@@KittyCat260for those of us actually from rural areas, no. I've never heard anyone that's not a city-slicker struggle with it.
My brother and i were close growing up. He even taught me self defense to keep myself safe. The beginning of this month he tried to take my life. I think when you love someone you don't want to believe that they are capable of such evil. So even if you see the signs you dismiss them. No one wants to believe their loved one is a monster.
That’s wild!
I'm so sorry. Hope you're doing well
As a detail oriented person I looove hearing about the backstories and why they are the way they are
I personally LOVE hearing about their upbringing and past life history. You really do a great job on your research on people and their pasts. I agree with you, that knowing the upbringing gives you a sense of why they became who they did. LOVE YOU BAILEY! You do an amazing job!
I agree!
I think Bailey knows we need the theme song for the real bad ones
This one bothered me more than all the stories you’ve done before. This man is pure evil. Love your makeup today! So pretty!
The shadow is insanely beautiful 😍
I appreciate when Bailey says what we’re all thinking 💭
It’s scary how well he fooled his wife and church. He was super active in his church, too… It’s hard for me to believe that *no one* felt sus about him. I bet a few church members were giving him side eye and once he was caught were like, “I knew something was wrong with him!!!” Oh to be a fly on the wall in those gossip circles after his arrest. 😂
Not really everyone affiliated with the church has something wrong with them so it is no great surprise that he was in with the church crowd I always remember grandma trying to make me go when I was a kid luckily for me Grandpa was the master and ruler of the house and so I didn't have to
You know there had to be one person that was like “I don’t like him, I have a bad feeling” and everyone dismissed them as being a hater or jealous or something when they were right.
I live in Wichita, there were tons of people who said he gave weird vibes. They said he was power hungry when trying to enforce rules about things.
@@kaitlynnmountney8331lol for real. They were probably told to "stop being negative."
Most likely his wife at least sensed something, but was dismissive about red flags. That is way it's important to share these stories - to learn to spot them. Maybe I overthinking now 🤔
BTK/Dennis being a family man and active member of the community whilst doing all of those horrific things for so long is very scary...
Just proves you cannot trust someone just because they're involved in church or their community and have a family.
Makes me look a little harder at the "regular people". 👀🧐
So many of these guys are like that!! John Wayne Gacy was the same!! Or at least he was considered a pillar in his community, I don’t think he was married. But ugh it’s so creepy.
The best part of Mondays…. Love you Bailey ❤
What a monster. This though “He acts all tough but he’s a Fing baby” got me 😂
We moved to Wichita KS in 1990. A friend of ours grew up here & told me about being terrified during BTK's "rampage" in the 70s. She was a young, single woman at the time, who lived alone - BTK's prime target.
I'm so glad you covered him. I live here in Wichita KS. I played in park City as a teen right before he went to the media. Scary
Same! I actually played in his backyard before he was caught
I'm so happy hearing all of this from Bailey.... She just delivers and explains true crime stories in the best, fun and intellectual way possible ❤️❤️❤️ Love you guys from this channel so so oh sxxoxo muxh!
Girl same I played soccer in Wichita my whole childhood and knowing about this story growing up terrified me💀
same born and raised park city and it was terrifying
I love how confident Bailey is. She put her foot down and since then she’s just gotten so confident and comfortable in her videos again ❤
I’m from Wichita, KS! I remember when I was a little girl my mom was so scared that he was back after all those years. She would walk the house every time we came back home with a bat and she had someone come and safety proof our home. I just remember feeling a sense of peace once he was caught because my mom felt such peace. What a scary time to remember. What an awful man. May his victims rest in peace✨🙏🏼
I slept with a crowbar under my pillow for years because of him.
I’m from Wichita tooo!!!
Girl I’m from Hutchinson, KS but played soccer in Wichita, so crazy when one of these stories is so close to home, my mom was down the road when he was arrested💀🥲
This is literally the most chill and relatable I've ever seen you be. Like so much more calm and easier to follow/keep up with. Favorite episode since day 1
Her early video were relaxed like this and then as she got more and more popular things started to feel a little rushed but she’s always Bailey ❤❤❤
This one hits close to home, literally. My great aunt (by marriage) is his cousin! Their whole family was at his wedding and keep in contact with his daughter, who is amazing. My exhusband and I owned a home right around the corner from his and some of the victims homes. They had to tear his house down because creeps kept buying it. I totally agree with you that he’s one of the scariest there was - he didn’t know his victims nor did he do it randomly, he planned and stalked them. It really was a dark period of time for the community, all the older locals can tell you stories and I can’t imagine being around at that time.
I’m from Wichita and I was surprised that you did this story. I was really young, but my mom was always very scared of BTK. Thank you for shedding light on a sad and weird time in Wichita’s history. The family wouldn’t have wanted to be mentioned so thank you for also staying true to a story.
I just realised that I discovered Bailey in May 2021 when I was struggling to finish my Bachelor thesis. Today, May 13, 2024, I am again struggling finishing my Master thesis but still watching Bailey:)) Love youuu
"Fear always works" that's what the final commentary reminded me of. Be afraid of the world and trust nobody
"How do we end it friends...?"
Yeah, Bailey. Snoop in the basement. Do an effing background check. Trust next to nobody. Be aware of your surroundings. Walk with purpose. Utilize your community's lawful means to protect yourself.
❤. Love you there and back. ❤ The green eyeshadow *sends* me. Love it.
The one I've been waiting for!!!! This guy is the reason I was NEVER allowed to be alone til he was caught! He scared all of Kansas!
Thank you mother. I was STARVED 😢
💯🖤
Pourquoi tu te parles ? @@Amélie20159
@@Amélie20159Lo de llamarle “madre” es solamente un chiste/meme 😆
I’ll never forget when he resurfaced; it was all everyone talked about for months then suddenly I was watching him being caught on the news. We knew his neighbors since they went to our church. She had known him for decades. How they found him was WILD.
You should do The Hillside Strangles. Their case is crazy and one of my favorites to learn about and talk about
Totally agree
idk about makeup, but generally these female true crime channels are awesome. I find it more entertaining just listening to one person talk about a case than all these interviews and stuff
Big Sparky Time? Uh, nay-nay!!
It's awesome that you cover so many Midwestern cases, they're often overlooked and I have no clue why! It's fascinating to hear about, especially being from the area.
anyone else hold their breath in anticipation of if she will sing the theme song?? LOL every time she does it's like a small win !
Yes😂
Only Bailey could make green eyeshadow look amazing.
I love watching what color eyeshadow you do in each video. Each color you do almost makes your eyes change a color. At the beginning of this video before you started your eyes looked almost grey or light brown, once you started adding the green your eyes look more green now :O is that just me? lol I LOVE IT
I was having major Mandela Effect thinking you’ve already covered BTK but I was wrong 😂 glad for a new video! Woo Bailey! 🎉
Girllllll meeee tooooo!!!! I was like a rerun but it says it’s new 🫢😂😵💫 I’ve lost it
Me too, but I think I was mixing it up with Gacey!
yes!!! my thought i was like…mmm didn’t she do this already 😅 weird
I thought that too. I was thinking it was a clip. Lol people get so big mad about them. 😂
I thought that too! maybe just because there's so much material about him? I know his story well, unfortunately
just for feedback purposes, i honestly dont like rundowns, i like to hear the story and collect my impressions as it goes along, not knowing what comes already ❤ love your vids, paired with your sense of humor its so unique and relatable
As someone who loves Mindhunter, thank you for covering BTK’σ story !!
So that story was about him!!!! I knew this sounded familiar.
We need a season 3
Yessss mind hunter needs to come back!! Sucha underrated series.
It’s hurts me, HURTS ME that they just abruptly stopped that show!
We need a season 3 😫
The Annette Funicello reference got me 🙈my grandpa says that she was his first love - he watched the show when he was a boy 😂
I love green eye makeup looks, and I love your work. ❤ been listening for years, always waiting for new stories. You rock 🎉
I heard you had a surgery, I totally understand what that’s like and I really hope you got rest and sunshine and peace of mind while you healed. I am so glad you are ok and that you are back!
The green eyeshadow makes your eyes pop so beautifully 😍
Green always looks so beautiful on you, really compliments your eyes, hair and skin tone. Gorgeous ✨
Poor Ruthie. All parties involved should have been charged😢 such a sad story. But you wiping your makeup off then giving up and wearing your hood made me feel so understood😂❤️
No rundown! Love the childhood to adult chronological telling with all the sidetracked and backstories❤❤
I spoke to soon, I see you put chapters in in the vid so I can easily skip 😅😊 thank you!
Since you asked our opinion a few times-
I can do without the TLDR Rundown at the beginning. I love the story time format.
LOVE to hear about family, personal, and early life.
Thank you, Bailey!!! See you next time 💜
yeah i agree
agreed 🫶🏼
Just met you over mothers day weekend! Thank you for being so sweet! Made my day! ❤
How cool! I’d love to meet Bailey. I live in the LA area too but no such luck so far. Bailey- you’re the coolest!
Bailey your videos always make me feel like im listening to my best friend telling me about some crazy thing she read about on the internet and its so comforting. Love your videos, love you!
I think I speak for everyone when I say… we wouldn’t be mad!
The queen is back! Tbh, I feel like BTK could have been a miniseries.
Also: I’m all about the rundown. Give us all the knowledge!
One of the things i love about Monday videos is Bailey goes from a beautiful bare faced young woman to a beautiful painted faced young woman.
The make up just highlights her natural beauty.
So glad you’re back and healed. We love you!!
The theme song is the wing beneath my wings
Can i just say when I'm in the mood for true crime but don't want it that serious or scary, i always come back to you. It really is like what other people say as in it feels like you're sitting down with your best friend like, "OH GIRL DID YOU HEAR?" It's also really inspiring how when you first started you were fairly awkward and now you seem so confident and i love it. Don't stop being you
It's so weird hearing her talk about my hometown like this! Dang.
I remember having nightmares about him dragging me into a basement by my hair. I was 10 years old when he got caught. A lot of these details i didnt know about. My step mother at the time worked at a mobile home park across the street from his church, I remember the relief on my mom when he got caught, not having to worry about it any more.
That's scary. He was an evil man.
Hope you had an amazing Mother's Day. Thank you for mothering us. ❤️
I always love when you do a green eye look! They are my favs!
I'm from Minnesota, and one case that was super big, was the Jacob Wetterling case! The verdict, and the way the crime was put to justice....was honestly crazy...
Hey Bailey, thank you so much for this video, I've heard it a lot of times but I always find something new when you tell the story. I was watching the one about Chris Watts the other day, back then you were only starting this MM&M journey and boy, look how much you have grown! Please keep going, I absolutely love your videos, can't wait for next Monday to come just to see if there is a new upload.
Speaking of which, I just came across this very disturbing case the other day, a guy by the name of Andre Thomas did a terrible thing to his own family, and then he kind of, blinded himself... I hope you consider to talk about this sometime, and as you always say, please be safe out there and remember we all love you very much!
Greetings from Mexico ❤
ooohhh! hometown sk story by Bailey. i remember being in middle school when they caught him... down the street from where i lived 🥲. also his daughter is such a warrior
What’s her name please
I have been waiting for this episode,
having lived in Wichita during the BTK years. His capture came as a shock, but there was a palpable sense of relief in the community knowing he was finally off the streets.
Your beautiful...
Team old format without the rundown. Love you Bailey 💜
Same.... I dont like hearing the end first. BUT SO THANKFUL for the story Bailey
100%
You said rural CORRECTLY!! So proud of you 🤍
Baileyyyyy please do the Junko Furuta case its very heartbreaking but i and maybe some others really want a mmm video about her
Love the consistency lately with MMM uploads and theme songs 🖤
Thank you for being so amazing Bailey!! We love you and MMM💕💕
Creepy fact (for my family at least), Rader lived 2 houses down from my Aunt and Uncle. Over hearing my family talk about the case at family gathering is the reason I fell into the true crime community at a young age. BTK is also the reason my Aunt/Uncle along with my Great Grandfather moved from Park City to Kansas City. I was a senior in HS when he was arrested and we all found out my Aunt/Uncle knew him as a 'great and helpful neighbor to have'...
Thanks for the deep dive Bailey! I hope you're doing well!!!
I have lived here in Wichita my whole life. My mom actually had a run in with BTK when I was a kid. I will always remember being terrified as he tried to break down the door.
We needed Joan’s loving caws to comfort us during this frightening tale... caw caw Joan. caw caw.
When I was in the psychward at 19, one of the people I shared the ward with. They said that they knew someone that was a cellmate with BTK, they described him as quiet and polite.
I’m pretty sure he’s been in solitary confinement his entire prison sentence.
@kathleenyoung9486 yeah, that's probably true. Maybe the guy was bullshitting me.
@@Neku628 you know how that jail talk is lol
I love your backgrounds, Bailey! It helps us realize that “normal” people can be suspect.
What a sicko BTK was. Real lucky he's behind bars locked up, never to see the light of day again Bailey. Love your makeup and the way you present your videos. Keep up with informing us. You go girl!! 😘❤ Aussie Sam OXO
I love that you used a clip of his trial! If possible I'd like to see that more often!!
Eating my salad & trying to get my nourishment w/o puking! This guy was EVIL personified!
Monday? Blah… Bailey on Monday? YAAAAAASSSSSS! Theme song? Day is MADE!!! ❤️
