The poor Dad, knowing he heard essentially his daughter's murder and went back to bed. He obviously didn't know it at the time, but I bet it's eating him up inside thinking he may have had a chance to save her.
It's like your body even knows. This genuine call gave me that 'choked up' feeling. Ya know, like I could cry for her outta empathy. NEVER got that from a murderer faking a 911 call. No matter how well its acted.
There is no “real sound” to a 911 call. Everyone reacts differently. Yes, you would assume most people would sound this way. But some people are in complete the shock. You can never judge someone by the way they respond to grief
@@kadeelacayo4806 exactly I go numb and lose ability to annunciate words like my tongue is to big and my mouth don’t work right then I get frustrated cuz I know I’m hard to understand and I can’t fix it
We all think horrible shit. We all feel anger that is shameful. The difference is being a decent human being and not being such a narcissistic POS willing to ruin/end someone else’s life.
That's the thing we all think we would never do this but when you get put in hard difficult situations and different environments everyone has that darkness, our job is to always watch over it and admit to ourselves there is a killer inside of us as well and it will never come out. These people that do stuff like this they're human beings some are very broken some aren't at all and I can do that one day too, because I know I can do that too I will never do that. But trust me it can happen to any of us. Everybody has a darkness inside them and it's up to us to shine a light on it and keep it in the hole.
Pretty textbook stuff for a violent partner. He also had to be creative because she didn't live with him. Just over a year ago I was assaulted to my face with a sledgehammer by my ex's flatmate/employee/latest drinking buddy. I was arrested with a concussion and refused medical assistance for 3 hours. The police have literally lied to cover for the white guy that assaulted me. My ex continued to live with him/work with him for more than six months. My ex continues to beg for me back, threaten suicide, etc. He sent me another email from a new account this afternoon 🙄 He just sends songs now. He scares the shit out of me. I don't live alone and we have cameras, lights, alarms. But I fear about seeing him or his flatmate somewhere when I am alone and out somewhere. Luckily we don't have as many guns in my country...
Yes that is so scary!😬 The idea of going to sleep at night and someone shooting through the wall at you is so disturbing. Asleep in your bed at night is the place a person should be able to feel the safest out of anywhere in the world. A crime like this takes that feeling away though a bit.
He had to have known exactly where her head was from the second shot where there was no window. Either he's a great shot or he literally most likely measured up on the wall the exact height :S
The worst is thinking you had done it, you kept your child from killing themselves through sheer stupidity (if you have had a baby you know what I mean) and now you can sit back and enjoy helping them become an actual human being and THAT'S when you lose the game. I'm not sure why but that's so scary to me. My daughter is 6 and I'm starting to feel that "I did it!" relief/elation, so maybe that's why this story hit me so hard. I couldn't sleep last night because I kept coming back to this, I don't understand this world or the people in it and quite frankly, I don't want to :(
@@Your_local_therian_weirdo what you said sums up 50% of what I think about when people ask if I want to have kids or not. I can’t imagine what her parents must be feeling right now. It’s already a miracle to bring a healthy baby to life and to raise them up, survive all the congenital conditions, SIDS, etc , get them through school successfully, only to have a possessive twerp like this end that beautiful life because he can’t get what he wants. 🤯 I’m not a fan of vigilante justice, but sometimes I wish they’d let the loved ones of the victim have a good 5-10mins of alone time with the guilty. It won’t bring her back, but... just 5 mins.
This story pisses me off. I think he was gonna attempt to kill her at least 2 other times before he was successful. During the fake kidnapping, he requested she come outside alone with her keys. I think he was gonna kidnap her then. When he was dressed in black and attempted to get into her house. He already had the gun. He hid his face and tried to get inside. It just happened that she called him to save her.
The only positive here is that Riley was stopped now as a teenager. He had a lifetime of stalking, manipulating and violent coercion ahead of him. This sentence saved his future partners from a lot of grief and fear.
Yeahhh. As someone raised by a mom who escaped from a family full of men like him, I wholeheartedly agree I wish the young woman could have been saved 😞 But at least the cycle of abuse was stopped before it had a chance to start Because it can go on for generations and generations
Considering all the bizarre things he did in this situation, I think he would have been dangerous even if he never met her. Just a total psycho loose cannon, something was bound to trigger him eventually.
Man, his friends were great for going to the police. I know a lot of people wouldn't tell on their friends but when it comes to murder telling the police is obviously the right thing to do.
They would of been charged with accessory after the fact if they did not tell the police what happened. They weren’t brave, they were saving their own asses!
@@morallybankrupt1461 Dude, they went to the police and volunteered to wear a wire and bodycam to help them setup a armed suspect. The cop didn't ask or force them to do anything. They could've been killed if that bastard had figured it out. So yeah, kinda brave!
As the mother of an 18 year old daughter that went thru a relationship with a possessive guy, this story breaks my heart. Her situation never got even a quarter this bad...but it was unnerving nonetheless. I'm so heartbroken for Emma's parents.
My daughter got stalked last year. She was 23 but worked with the guy. She was afraid to tell anyone because she didn’t want to cause drama and he was well liked with this crazy backstory of growing up in a cult and being abused, escaping and working as a prostitute before coming to our city and living in a hostel for LGBTQA youth. He got arrested for trespassing at a church and we found out not only is he not gay, he was older than he told people and had been a working actor in NYC who disappeared from his home 2 years previously. There was a massive search for him. It was still ongoing with posters going around online. The police in our city had been looking for him here and never found him. What a nutcase.
@@debshaw680 holy crap! That’s insane thank God he didn’t hurt, or physically hurt your daughter.. ugh ppl r scary.. you never know a persons past, or what’s truly in their hearts or minds.. that’s what’s scary.
@@debshaw680. I'm glad your daughters safe. I think that the scenario you described is every loving parents worst nightmare. Let's hope that he was caught somewhere else and is in prison.
@@ethanswimmer1287 being possessive certainly has to do with it. There's a HUGE difference between loving someone and wanting a healthy relationship vs. treating them as a possession. That's where the word possessive comes from... It's not possessive to want your partner's loyalty. It IS possessive when you take actions to physically or emotionally manipulate them into behaving how YOU want them to.
I went with a guy like this in the 70's, and it's almost word for word what I went through at the beginning of the video. I got away from him because my parents were heavily involved, and the fact that he was forced to leave the state running from the law. I shudder to think what my time with him would have been like if the technology that exists today had been available to him. I feel very sorry for kids today, living in a Star Trek world where it's almost impossible to get away from someone like this.
To the people who think this is an extreme case then you’ve been lucky. Individuals like Gaul are WAY more common than you think. Be careful out there. Protect your kids.
I went through something similar. Luckily for me the guy moved on to another target. Unfortunately he did end up killing the guy that the new girl left him for.
@Shakur Alladin Successfully killed. And successfully PROVEN as in the partner who murdered was adjudicated and proven guilty. It is WAY more prevalent than statistics show and if you knew more about statistics then you would have known that before stating that. Doesn’t include just how many women and men have almost died by the hands of their partners. Not to mention the ABUSE this girl endured. It happens that this young woman died but the sadistic abuse that he put on her is in of itself is not rare. Individuals like GAUL are not rare at all. Gaul is just dumb enough to think he could get away with it.
@Kobe Bryant this is what happens when men and boys can not deal with complex emotions Male and female children are raised very different from birth. 1) female children are given dolls and plushies from the day they are born, molding them from birth for their position in life, as care giver and mothers. They are taught to own their emotions and are given every opportunity to express them. 2) male children are let to their own devices - given hammers and guns, we nurture their destructive sides, increasing their level of violence....boys are never allowed to own their emotions, they are told "big boys don't cry" called sissy, faggot, queer and many other insults if they show any emotion of any kind.... 3) because female children recieve 18-20 years of structure and direction since birth, taking their position is easier and they have the skills to own their feelings, emotions and the words to express them, which validates their feelings 4) when boys grow into men society expects that they should magically be able to rise to manhood without any help to get their that girls recieve... Please do not misunderstand- what i am saying is this is not the fault of men as much as it is society...if we are ever to deal with the way these men behave towards their partners we need to change the way we raise our sons.
@Kobe Bryant you have it backwards. If the fathers had stuck around or not makes little difference to whether boys will grow into men who can deal with and handle complex emotions when they arise. It is the lack of compassion from the adults who raise them - both men and women are guilty of this, but men can be twice as harsh on their crying sons than women. Not because they are mean or evil but because they were never given the tools themselves to deal with complex emotions and seeing their sons crying or in emotional distress brings up many mixed emotions for the father, and so he too is guilty of doing exactly what was done to him in his youth, belittling his son for crying. I do agree that most children are raised by women 99% of the time even when fathers reside inside the household, and so when I see a man who is unable to deal with his emotions, I do not blame him, but the woman who raised him, for it was her job to teach him how to deal with complex emotions and to own his feelings through words of ownership in order that they may be validated. The reason for society to trains its daughters and not its sons is because long ago the ruling class, which was all men, believed women needed to brainwashed into their role in society, a kind of social conditioning from birth to marry, have kids and stay home, so when the time came to be wed we were less likely to balk at the idea and rebel. We never did this to our sons because men wanted their male children to be free to make their own choices, women were not free and were always property. So you see how the social conditioning of females from birth has backfired onn men? Now that we are out of the dark ages we need to correct this backward way of thinking and give young men the tools they need to deal with emotions in the real world or suffer the consequences
@Kobe Bryant I am speaking of human conditioning that predate the birth of Jesus, you are speaking of slavery not chatle which is very dif...we only recently have won control over our own bodies and decisions about our own futures...and if you need to speak on slavery the jews were slaves for tens of thousands of years, not 160 or so...and you do not hear us bellyaching about it constantly
@@c.a.greene8395 Sorry to come in four months later, but what you described about the difference between raising a son, and a daughter. Struck me... That makes a lot of sense. Thank you.
So proud of his friends! They have a conscience, and with peer pressure being so difficult, they risked everything and did the RIGHT THING FOR EMMA! Scary to think if Riley was smarter and didn't tell anyone anything, he possibly could've gotten away, but he was so obsessed with being in control, that he was out of control which made everything point to him. RIP sweet girl. Bless those sweet, crushed parents, ugh...
Someone said he probably just wanted to scare her again, but I think if that were the case, you would of aimed as high as possible making sure you didn’t hit her. Also, when he was being interrogated, he pulled a Bill Clinton, by referring to her as “the girl”, not using her name.
If I try to put myself in his mind, he’d been failing with his prior fear tactics. It’s logical he might have thought they were too subtle. He could have feared two shots far from where she layed, could have been perceived as random stray Bullets. So could a single shot close to her. If the goal is to have her think someone is trying to kill her, multiple shots tightly grouped, very near her, looks the most intentional. Thus, instilling the desired fear. I’m not sure why you consider his distancing language evidence of intentional guilt. That language makes sense because he did kill her in a terrible way, even if unintentionally.
Check out 'Statement Analysis' unless that's what your referring to. There's a channel called Martin De Coder, he analyses liars Chris Watts and others, really interesting!
@beached whale Theyre saying that distancing isn't unique to liars. It's just commonplace in this type of video. Distancing is exactly what's it's called, distancing yourself from the event. This COULD be a liar trying to get away with murder. But it COULD be a stupid kid who did a terrible thing an wants to push away unintentionally killing someone. This doesn't make it any less his fault and punishable. Shooting a gun near the person you loves head is evil, whether you mean to kill, or just a means to control. It's just this is a discussion on how far his intent went.
I saw her Twitter page and was reading her tweets. What a normal and sweet girl. So sad that she tweeted really nice things about him and posted pictures for him to only murder her. Glad he got LIFE
@@heatheroreily4733 The problem with that is he knew exactly what he was doing, whether he weighed all the possibilities or not with what could go wrong, i.e hurting someone. More than that, if your idea of being a hero is willingly endangering the life of someone you love, that also adds the layer of intent to the crime. Whether or not he meant to hurt her is irrelevant because his willingness to do what he did, regardless of the outcome, shows motive in his very first step. Whether he was trying to scare her OR kill her, she died by something he was willing to do to begin with, which was to shoot a gun at her.
@@ephemeralstardom Ugh, this X 1000. So much better viewing this content without amateur garbage like a spoo0oky/edgy narration, or stereotypical soundtracks. Also grateful for the absence of melodramatic tinkling pianos that commonly accompany emotional scenes, save that mess for Full House.
@@elizabethpraterhughett7287 He got really fat & flabby while he sat at home for a yr, pending his trial. He probably saw the writing on the wall and spent that yr hitting every fast food joint in the county before heading to the big house.
When I was 20 I had a bf just like this guy. Im 46 now and fled town for my own safety some 20 plus years ago. However, because of him, I have ptsd and have frequent nightmares. This story breaks my heart.
I feel like that's what he was trying to do on purpose, so if they threatened to talk to the police or something later, he'd have had that to blackmail them with.
As dark as it sounds this channel is helping me through my depression. Got to the point I was thinking of injecting insulin and falling asleep hopefully permanently so thank you for getting me out of that
Amazing how “wall banging” term was used in this case. Gaul being a young dude who of course knows about call of duty was an easy way to discredit his statements of not thinking the bullet would pass through the wall. Genius.
It's silly that it's even a thing. Of course bullets go through walls, through wood. That's not something you need to learn from a video game. Every kid who's ever fired a rifle knows this. Pistols no exception.
But really how did he manage to hit her twice in the head without seeing her? I can't understand this part even if he knew the layout of the room there will be still wild room for error, also I imagine the trajectory of the bullets will be at least slightly affected by the wall!! I can't make sense of it unless he was miraculously lucky (unlucky).
@@guardiansanimalrescuestate7289 - oh yum I love cream of wheat and I haven’t had it in years. I like to dip my toast in it. I don’t care for oatmeal because it’s too chunky. Even though I know it is supposed to be good for you
I understand that sounds like the answer but its a piece of paper to someone who is unstable. It often triggers the person to snap further and go to extremes regardless. Unstable individuals aren't afraid.
Really ? You would like to have those friends ? Refuting to help (absolutely the right thing)and actively go after a " friend " with mic and camera .... No thanks, dont need such "friends". A FRIEND confronts YOU before doing such snitchy things
I am literally binge watching these videos. You do great work. You really do. I wish you the best on your channel. But I thank you the most for giving a voice for those whom could not tell their story as it was ended to shortly. All the best to you and your channel and research for these videos.
Well you don’t necessarily know your friends that well and if it turns out he’s cold-bloodedly murdered a 16 year old girl then he’s not the person you thought he was. I remember reading a very early interview with Himmlers school friends. They said he was a quiet, friendly, good natured boy. One of them said ‘we never knew his brother was like that’. The other said ‘no - that was our Himmler! Heinrich!’
I love that chapter. I think his personality makes it a lot more fun to listen to these stories. Have you found "serial killer documentaries" yet? His profile picture is a Van with SKD on it. I think he puts a lot more work into his videos than that chapter even though he's not as charming :) I'm new to monsters but I'm loving it so far.
@@OutdorsDanny I don’t compare because each creator has their own style and take on things. That chapter and it’s Joshua miles, molly is also good. She’s new but is excellent.
@@guardiansanimalrescuestate7289 I'm not saying one is better than the other. I'm just saying if you like that chapter and monsters you'll probly like serial killer documentaries
Oh yeah, that chapter that’s where I have seen this before. I knew I hadn’t watched it here but the case was familiar so yes that’s it, I really like the channel that chapter with Mike.
I live in Knoxville, about 7 miles from where this murder occurred, and Emma's loss still haunts the area. People continually talk about Emma. Her parents will never be the same. So sad.
My heartfelt sympathies to her family. I lost my only daughter when she was 20 and I think to myself how these young people could have made an impact if they had enjoyed a long life. 🙏🏻
My heartfelt sympathy hug love and prayers to you my dear friend mine are both about to turn the respective ages of 14 and 9. And would just lose it. I don't know how you keep going. Just know you have friends here that would love to hear your stories whether good or bad to help you survive this! Just hit reply. Much love
The gall that this kid had to act like he truly missed her through social media is unbelievable. I don't know how the parents couldn't have heard those shots.
I highly, highly praise those young men for contacting the police and doing the right thing. This is EXACTLY what needs to happen in EVERY murder. To hear Emma's father speak about how he's never going to see her graduate high school, go to college, fall in love, get married to the man she truly loves, have children of her own, never hearing her voice again, and holidays, vacations and what have you will never be the same, made me tear up. He was possessive, obsessive, manipulative, conniving and selfish. The ONLY thing that I disagree with the prosecution is the reference to Call Of Duty. There's a HUGE difference between video games and real life. However, he SHOULD'VE known that a bullet could pierce walls. That's common knowledge, even IF it's in some video game. He KNEW the layout of Emma's home, which includes her bedroom; so, this "defense" tactic of saying that he didn't know that she would be hit by a bullet is a HUGE lie, and a HUGE mistake of TRYING to convince the jury, that some just might be weapon owners themselves, was a HUGE mistake. After what he had done, he's exactly where he needs to be.
@@IloveRio-fp1vg Thank you so very much for taking the time to read and respond to my comment. Please know that I am very grateful and appreciative of you for reading and responding to me. Please take care, my friend, and God bless!
Yeah, if he wanted to scare her, why wouldn’t he just shoot the bottom of the wall or the very top? Just crazy how there were 2 bullets that lined up perfectly
@@Stiasteny You said it perfectly, my friend. This was planned, and I think it was premeditated. God bless, and thank you so very much for taking the time to read and reply to my comment!
I appreciate that in every case you recap what's said in the audio clips! A lot of the time, I have a hard time either hearing or understanding what is said in court testimony.
I know there are people that don’t like that he repeats what’s been said, but since I listen to this at work where we can’t sit around watching videos all day, it makes all the difference!
This is one of those stories where you just can't stopping shaking your head the more you think of it. Two lives and families destroyed over the most silly and finite of reasons. And the near unbelievable way the crime was carried out! It seems like something you couldn't do if you tried. But he did. Terrible. And that 911 call from the mother is one if the worst I've heard.
The absolute worst was hearing her trying to keep it together in the call. She knew the information was vital but there was so much shock and grief. When the testimony was playing you could hear someone sobbing softly in the background and I believe that was her. What a nightmare.
Stating “you’re in a better place now” after killing her, while her parents and friends loved her so much, is just brutal… What a psycho, I hope he stays in jail for life
Seeing how obsessive he was on social media about her after he, himself, murdered her...it's beyond disturbing. Not to mention that he kept calling her "the girl"
JusttheMessenger:What are they,exactly? Something you yourself make,or something you're able to buy pre-made? Please let me know,it sounds super interesting!
@@NunyaNomi Or leave any shades/drapes open at night so that people can see in. Someone probably came up from behind and frightened you as a child...the trauma left an indelible image maybe. But it's not irrational, I think it's human nature.😊
Dad, sharing grief over the future, thrilled the boy. That's why he killed her. So that he himself would not have to endure watching her marry another, have their children etc. The killer's reward is taking that future of happiness away. If it's not me, it's nobody mentality.
I don't think I'd want to do that in front of a defendant and give him the satisfaction. They get off on your grief. I thought that during the Dahmer trial. Talk about falling on deaf ears!
Someone needs to figure out a program to stop jealous, obsessive people before it gets to this point. Teachers & school employees could be trained to recognize certain red flags. But parents are the first defense. This kind of behavior is not ok.
O boy, so teachers, gotta teach: academics, sex, don't take drugs, don't bully, and now..How not to be a jealous Phycopath companion?..Let's hope they get raises, goodness..How about folks teach their kids how not to be entitled, spoilt, jealous menace, instead of expecting poor teachers to do it all 🙄 just saying..

If you want to hurt someone you think you love you do not love them. You are obsessed with them. Big difference. You never wish harm or do harm to someone you truly love.

Thank you for creating this video. Seriously sick dude. he threw away his own life too. Why do people actually believe they will get away with murder?? The prisons are full of them, yet more still believe they will be the one that gets away with it!
People who kill their lovers get caught. Dumb people who text,DM, or call their victims get caught. But, many people do get away with it. After the first 48 hours, you've got a 6 out of 10 chance of beating the case in the US. The number of unsolved murders here is sky high
@@mattm8932 yep. In the hood there are plenty of ppl with body counts above 1 or 2. Cops dont really take time to investigate gang hits when then they happen in poor/minority or high crime areas. This is why serial killers with the highest longevity target the homeless or street prostitutes. Same principle
He was totally obsessed with her!! Respect to his friends who went to the police and he was held accountable for her murder and justice for Emma. That 911 call was heartbreaking 💔. RIP Emma 🙏
This type of personality is always obsessed with people, not because they are so attached to it, but because they absolutely cannot stand to lose anything. They want to control, dispose of, and ultimately destroy. Nothing should survive them. “All good for them, all bad for others”. It is an extreme psychological defence process that is set up as a shield against severe childhood emotional abuse. Not all victims become victimisers, but all victimisers have been victims, says Alice Miller. 😬
Thank you for the subtitles & photos. This is a first rate channel. I haven't heard about a lot if these cases. It's just sad there's so many murders & child abuse cases that we have all of these channels. Keep up the good work. New sub here.
when i encounter a "ill kill myself if you leave me" if they dont cave to being reasonable to them i simply say do it, i wont cry for you they hate when the person they're trying to control won't give
@Lilith Manson the world would probably be a better place if all the crazy, abusive pieces of turd actually killed themselves instead of threatening their victims with it and using it as a tactic to control them 🤷♀️ Not to mention, people like this have too big of an ego to kill themselves. They'll kill their victims before they kill themselves. Literally. The only thing that will push them to commit suicide is successfully killing their victim and then theyll off themselves. They're cowards. And as someone who has personally dealt with a psycho like this.. I have absolutely no sympathy for them.
@@assilemeerpud Yeah, way better if instead of temporarily making someone feel bad, they kill themselves........ Also, pretty sure there’s more suicides by those threatening suicide than murders.
Prayers for Emma's Family.💔💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏🙏How Devastating, in Soo many ways! Young people don't always understand, how Truly Dangerous, an abuser is, at that age!! In their Innocence, they think breaking up will end it. RIP, EMMA. Thank you, for sharing these Very Sad Cases, in an Excellent way.
I'm so over this murdered saying "I didn't over there to harm her, just scare her so ad she had no choice but to talk to me" ie., you went over there to HARM HER.
Seriously! There was a dude responding to another persons comment on this video where they were saying this was clearly not pre-meditated and he was just “unlucky”, and I was flabbergasted they had the gall to take his side. Like dude, if he did that “just to scare her” then why the fuck are the only 2 bullet holes BOTH lined up PERFECTLY with where her head was? Like this is an open and shut case of premeditated murder, no discussion needed
He didn’t need “help” to get rid of a gun. I think he wanted to involve the boys because he wanted to mess with them. They weren’t his friends, they were Emma’s friends. It’s a good thing the boys got him instead. He really has a sick mind. He is seriously messed up there.
I think so too. When the one guy told that he had a gun, I feel he thought he'd get them entangled so they wouldn't talk anymore. I think he was planning to blackmail them.
In most of these cases the friends do help with covering the crime and I'm always left wondering "..who in their right mind would do that?". I would immediately hand my friend or family over to the police in such cases and I'm glad to see like minded people like me! I'm not about to be sent to prison for "Accessory after the fact" and "Tempering with evidence" - no friendship worth that!
Big difference between “getting involved” in the crime, and “turning my friend/family in” for the crime. But you’re actually in the majority. Most people rat on their friends.
Me and my man's we live together and we talk about that like baby if u ever come home and had murdered someone I love u but I ain't covering ur ass. Besides I better be the only bitch he wants to kill anyways.

My 5th year high school reunion. It was revealed that a couple since middle school had divorced. The woman had claimed Domestic Abuse. As my classmates talked, we realized that the Abuse had existed even in middle school.
I can't believe what luck evil had that night. It could've gone completely the other way and missed her by a fraction. I applaud his friends for a great job at bringing him down. 👿😡
Being possessive is a classic young dude mistake that most of us go through at least once. It has a 0% success rate. Broken hearts heal themselves. May take a while, but they do. This was beyond senseless.
I know what you are saying and it isn't just men.. I never behaved his way but I remember feeling frantic and thinking ill never get over and years later I struggle to remember what's his name.
Let's get it. So he followed her called all day.then killes her. And then say sorry Wtf.is he series that crazy. Life in jail how about that He is probably saying well at least she is not dating anyone .girls when u see your boyfriend tell u what to wear. It is time to go. Rip.young lady.🙏🙏😢

The fear and pain in the mom's voice on the 911 call is just heartbreaking.
The poor Dad, knowing he heard essentially his daughter's murder and went back to bed. He obviously didn't know it at the time, but I bet it's eating him up inside thinking he may have had a chance to save her.
He couldn't save her because the bullet which entered her head killed her instantly.

Dear murderers, THAT is what a real 911 call sounds like.
Sad, really
It's like your body even knows. This genuine call gave me that 'choked up' feeling. Ya know, like I could cry for her outta empathy.

There is no “real sound” to a 911 call. Everyone reacts differently. Yes, you would assume most people would sound this way. But some people are in complete the shock. You can never judge someone by the way they respond to grief

We all think horrible shit. We all feel anger that is shameful. The difference is being a decent human being and not being such a narcissistic POS willing to ruin/end someone else’s life.
I feel you. I’m a very apathetic being, I have dark musings and find it almost impossible to sympathise, but these shows remind me how to be human.
That's the thing we all think we would never do this but when you get put in hard difficult situations and different environments everyone has that darkness, our job is to always watch over it and admit to ourselves there is a killer inside of us as well and it will never come out. These people that do stuff like this they're human beings some are very broken some aren't at all and I can do that one day too, because I know I can do that too I will never do that. But trust me it can happen to any of us. Everybody has a darkness inside them and it's up to us to shine a light on it and keep it in the hole.
Haha totally...I always think the same thing!
Dude faked being kidnapped to win her back? Christ.
Pretty textbook stuff for a violent partner. He also had to be creative because she didn't live with him.
Just over a year ago I was assaulted to my face with a sledgehammer by my ex's flatmate/employee/latest drinking buddy. I was arrested with a concussion and refused medical assistance for 3 hours. The police have literally lied to cover for the white guy that assaulted me. My ex continued to live with him/work with him for more than six months. My ex continues to beg for me back, threaten suicide, etc. He sent me another email from a new account this afternoon 🙄 He just sends songs now. He scares the shit out of me. I don't live alone and we have cameras, lights, alarms. But I fear about seeing him or his flatmate somewhere when I am alone and out somewhere. Luckily we don't have as many guns in my country...

How terrifying is it that he killed her from outside?!!!
Yes that is so scary!😬 The idea of going to sleep at night and someone shooting through the wall at you is so disturbing. Asleep in your bed at night is the place a person should be able to feel the safest out of anywhere in the world. A crime like this takes that feeling away though a bit.
At least she didnt suffer probably
He had to have known exactly where her head was from the second shot where there was no window. Either he's a great shot or he literally most likely measured up on the wall the exact height :S
The worst is thinking you had done it, you kept your child from killing themselves through sheer stupidity (if you have had a baby you know what I mean) and now you can sit back and enjoy helping them become an actual human being and THAT'S when you lose the game. I'm not sure why but that's so scary to me. My daughter is 6 and I'm starting to feel that "I did it!" relief/elation, so maybe that's why this story hit me so hard. I couldn't sleep last night because I kept coming back to this, I don't understand this world or the people in it and quite frankly, I don't want to :(
@@Your_local_therian_weirdo what you said sums up 50% of what I think about when people ask if I want to have kids or not. I can’t imagine what her parents must be feeling right now. It’s already a miracle to bring a healthy baby to life and to raise them up, survive all the congenital conditions, SIDS, etc , get them through school successfully, only to have a possessive twerp like this end that beautiful life because he can’t get what he wants. 🤯 I’m not a fan of vigilante justice, but sometimes I wish they’d let the loved ones of the victim have a good 5-10mins of alone time with the guilty. It won’t bring her back, but... just 5 mins.
This story pisses me off. I think he was gonna attempt to kill her at least 2 other times before he was successful. During the fake kidnapping, he requested she come outside alone with her keys. I think he was gonna kidnap her then. When he was dressed in black and attempted to get into her house. He already had the gun. He hid his face and tried to get inside. It just happened that she called him to save her.
YES!!!! SO SO TRUE!
The only positive here is that Riley was stopped now as a teenager. He had a lifetime of stalking, manipulating and violent coercion ahead of him. This sentence saved his future partners from a lot of grief and fear.
Preach that!
Yeahhh. As someone raised by a mom who escaped from a family full of men like him, I wholeheartedly agree
I wish the young woman could have been saved 😞
But at least the cycle of abuse was stopped before it had a chance to start
Because it can go on for generations and generations
Considering all the bizarre things he did in this situation, I think he would have been dangerous even if he never met her. Just a total psycho loose cannon, something was bound to trigger him eventually.

As the mother of an 18 year old daughter that went thru a relationship with a possessive guy, this story breaks my heart. Her situation never got even a quarter this bad...but it was unnerving nonetheless. I'm so heartbroken for Emma's parents.
My daughter got stalked last year. She was 23 but worked with the guy. She was afraid to tell anyone because she didn’t want to cause drama and he was well liked with this crazy backstory of growing up in a cult and being abused, escaping and working as a prostitute before coming to our city and living in a hostel for LGBTQA youth. He got arrested for trespassing at a church and we found out not only is he not gay, he was older than he told people and had been a working actor in NYC who disappeared from his home 2 years previously. There was a massive search for him. It was still ongoing with posters going around online. The police in our city had been looking for him here and never found him. What a nutcase.
@@debshaw680 holy crap! That’s insane thank God he didn’t hurt, or physically hurt your daughter.. ugh ppl r scary.. you never know a persons past, or what’s truly in their hearts or minds.. that’s what’s scary.

@@ethanswimmer1287 being possessive certainly has to do with it. There's a HUGE difference between loving someone and wanting a healthy relationship vs. treating them as a possession. That's where the word possessive comes from...
It's not possessive to want your partner's loyalty. It IS possessive when you take actions to physically or emotionally manipulate them into behaving how YOU want them to.
Tha k goodness she got away ur a great parent 💜💜💜❤️❤️❤️
Hearing the father’s impact statement is heartbreaking. When he said “I will never hear her voice again” that hit me hard.
I went with a guy like this in the 70's, and it's almost word for word what I went through at the beginning of the video. I got away from him because my parents were heavily involved, and the fact that he was forced to leave the state running from the law. I shudder to think what my time with him would have been like if the technology that exists today had been available to him. I feel very sorry for kids today, living in a Star Trek world where it's almost impossible to get away from someone like this.
glad you made it out safe
To the people who think this is an extreme case then you’ve been lucky. Individuals like Gaul are WAY more common than you think. Be careful out there. Protect your kids.
@Shakur Alladin women/girls are killed by their partners all the time
I went through something similar. Luckily for me the guy moved on to another target. Unfortunately he did end up killing the guy that the new girl left him for.
@Shakur Alladin Gaul’s toxic behavior is not rare in relationships. the killing part is but the abusiveness is more common than you think.
Seriously. My wife and I had to leave the state to get away from her psychotic ex.
@Shakur Alladin Successfully killed. And successfully PROVEN as in the partner who murdered was adjudicated and proven guilty. It is WAY more prevalent than statistics show and if you knew more about statistics then you would have known that before stating that. Doesn’t include just how many women and men have almost died by the hands of their partners. Not to mention the ABUSE this girl endured. It happens that this young woman died but the sadistic abuse that he put on her is in of itself is not rare. Individuals like GAUL are not rare at all. Gaul is just dumb enough to think he could get away with it.

@Kobe Bryant this is what happens when men and boys can not deal with complex emotions
Male and female children are raised very different from birth.
1) female children are given dolls and plushies from the day they are born, molding them from birth for their position in life, as care giver and mothers. They are taught to own their emotions and are given every opportunity to express them.
2) male children are let to their own devices - given hammers and guns, we nurture their destructive sides, increasing their level of violence....boys are never allowed to own their emotions, they are told "big boys don't cry" called sissy, faggot, queer and many other insults if they show any emotion of any kind....
3) because female children recieve 18-20 years of structure and direction since birth, taking their position is easier and they have the skills to own their feelings, emotions and the words to express them, which validates their feelings
4) when boys grow into men society expects that they should magically be able to rise to manhood without any help to get their that girls recieve...
Please do not misunderstand- what i am saying is this is not the fault of men as much as it is society...if we are ever to deal with the way these men behave towards their partners we need to change the way we raise our sons.
@Kobe Bryant you have it backwards.
If the fathers had stuck around or not makes little difference to whether boys will grow into men who can deal with and handle complex emotions when they arise.
It is the lack of compassion from the adults who raise them - both men and women are guilty of this, but men can be twice as harsh on their crying sons than women. Not because they are mean or evil but because they were never given the tools themselves to deal with complex emotions and seeing their sons crying or in emotional distress brings up many mixed emotions for the father, and so he too is guilty of doing exactly what was done to him in his youth, belittling his son for crying.
I do agree that most children are raised by women 99% of the time even when fathers reside inside the household, and so when I see a man who is unable to deal with his emotions, I do not blame him, but the woman who raised him, for it was her job to teach him how to deal with complex emotions and to own his feelings through words of ownership in order that they may be validated.
The reason for society to trains its daughters and not its sons is because long ago the ruling class, which was all men, believed women needed to brainwashed into their role in society, a kind of social conditioning from birth to marry, have kids and stay home, so when the time came to be wed we were less likely to balk at the idea and rebel. We never did this to our sons because men wanted their male children to be free to make their own choices, women were not free and were always property.
So you see how the social conditioning of females from birth has backfired onn men? Now that we are out of the dark ages we need to correct this backward way of thinking and give young men the tools they need to deal with emotions in the real world or suffer the consequences
@Kobe Bryant I am speaking of human conditioning that predate the birth of Jesus, you are speaking of slavery not chatle which is very dif...we only recently have won control over our own bodies and decisions about our own futures...and if you need to speak on slavery the jews were slaves for tens of thousands of years, not 160 or so...and you do not hear us bellyaching about it constantly

Preach that!
So proud of his friends! They have a conscience, and with peer pressure being so difficult, they risked everything and did the RIGHT THING FOR EMMA! Scary to think if Riley was smarter and didn't tell anyone anything, he possibly could've gotten away, but he was so obsessed with being in control, that he was out of control which made everything point to him. RIP sweet girl. Bless those sweet, crushed parents, ugh...
Bro peer pressure is not a factor in this situation
Someone said he probably just wanted to scare her again, but I think if that were the case, you would of aimed as high as possible making sure you didn’t hit her. Also, when he was being interrogated, he pulled a Bill Clinton, by referring to her as “the girl”, not using her name.
If I try to put myself in his mind, he’d been failing with his prior fear tactics. It’s logical he might have thought they were too subtle.
He could have feared two shots far from where she layed, could have been perceived as random stray
Bullets. So could a single shot close to her.
If the goal is to have her think someone is trying to kill her, multiple shots tightly grouped, very near her, looks the most intentional. Thus, instilling the desired fear.
I’m not sure why you consider his distancing language evidence of intentional guilt. That language makes sense because he did kill her in a terrible way, even if unintentionally.
@beached whale More accurately, its people who want to distance themselves from a person or event. People tell the truth and distance as well.
Check out 'Statement Analysis' unless that's what your referring to. There's a channel called Martin De Coder, he analyses liars Chris Watts and others, really interesting!
@beached whale
Theyre saying that distancing isn't unique to liars. It's just commonplace in this type of video. Distancing is exactly what's it's called, distancing yourself from the event. This COULD be a liar trying to get away with murder. But it COULD be a stupid kid who did a terrible thing an wants to push away unintentionally killing someone.
This doesn't make it any less his fault and punishable. Shooting a gun near the person you loves head is evil, whether you mean to kill, or just a means to control. It's just this is a discussion on how far his intent went.
What kinda freak wants to scare anyone
The difference in appearance of Riley, from the HS pictures to his trial pictures, is astounding.

Like in the movie Shutter.
He meant what he did 100%. He didn’t mean to get caught.
Exactly
YEP.
I don't think he did, he's obviously a nut job but I really think he was trying to scare her like he did in the past,in the most horrific way
@@heatheroreily4733 The problem with that is he knew exactly what he was doing, whether he weighed all the possibilities or not with what could go wrong, i.e hurting someone.
More than that, if your idea of being a hero is willingly endangering the life of someone you love, that also adds the layer of intent to the crime. Whether or not he meant to hurt her is irrelevant because his willingness to do what he did, regardless of the outcome, shows motive in his very first step.
Whether he was trying to scare her OR kill her, she died by something he was willing to do to begin with, which was to shoot a gun at her.

The gall that this kid had to act like he truly missed her through social media is unbelievable. I don't know how the parents couldn't have heard those shots.

I highly, highly praise those young men for contacting the police and doing the right thing. This is EXACTLY what needs to happen in EVERY murder.
To hear Emma's father speak about how he's never going to see her graduate high school, go to college, fall in love, get married to the man she truly loves, have children of her own, never hearing her voice again, and holidays, vacations and what have you will never be the same, made me tear up.
He was possessive, obsessive, manipulative, conniving and selfish. The ONLY thing that I disagree with the prosecution is the reference to Call Of Duty. There's a HUGE difference between video games and real life. However, he SHOULD'VE known that a bullet could pierce walls. That's common knowledge, even IF it's in some video game.
He KNEW the layout of Emma's home, which includes her bedroom; so, this "defense" tactic of saying that he didn't know that she would be hit by a bullet is a HUGE lie, and a HUGE mistake of TRYING to convince the jury, that some just might be weapon owners themselves, was a HUGE mistake. After what he had done, he's exactly where he needs to be.

I knew people who knew Emma personally. This story shocked me.
This is one of those stories where you just can't stopping shaking your head the more you think of it. Two lives and families destroyed over the most silly and finite of reasons. And the near unbelievable way the crime was carried out! It seems like something you couldn't do if you tried. But he did. Terrible. And that 911 call from the mother is one if the worst I've heard.
The absolute worst was hearing her trying to keep it together in the call. She knew the information was vital but there was so much shock and grief.
When the testimony was playing you could hear someone sobbing softly in the background and I believe that was her. What a nightmare.
Who the hell cares about his life being ruined?
Stating “you’re in a better place now” after killing her, while her parents and friends loved her so much, is just brutal… What a psycho, I hope he stays in jail for life
Seeing how obsessive he was on social media about her after he, himself, murdered her...it's beyond disturbing. Not to mention that he kept calling her "the girl"
Because she wasn't a person to him but a thing. A possession.

You have to turn on the captions. It’s the little CC button.
He repeats everything that’s said.
@@thisisMONSTERS they're out of sync around the 27 minute
His apology is overwhelmingly hollow. Not one ounce of emotion. He may be sociopathic.
May be? I’d say it’s a given.
@@pommiebears and he narcissist
This guy has a hypnotic way of talking. I am overjoyed when a new video comes out.
Riley Gaul is not a clown, he is the entire circus!🎪
Guys named Riley 🤦♂️
Awful. Scary too. I've always moved my bed around thinking like this could happen. People think I'm nuts. Even drive bus happen. What a POS.
I won’t sit with my back to a door or window in public places and that probably sounds nuts lol
@@NunyaNomi Or leave any shades/drapes open at night so that people can see in. Someone probably came up from behind and frightened you as a child...the trauma left an indelible image maybe. But it's not irrational, I think it's human nature.😊
Dad, sharing grief over the future, thrilled the boy. That's why he killed her. So that he himself would not have to endure watching her marry another, have their children etc. The killer's reward is taking that future of happiness away. If it's not me, it's nobody mentality.
Exactly!! Which is why they don’t mind life in prison.
I don't think I'd want to do that in front of a defendant and give him the satisfaction. They get off on your grief. I thought that during the Dahmer trial. Talk about falling on deaf ears!
This is right on the money 💰
Preach that!
Someone needs to figure out a program to stop jealous, obsessive people before it gets to this point. Teachers & school employees could be trained to recognize certain red flags.
But parents are the first defense.
This kind of behavior is not ok.
5000% And teachers should teach about healthy relationships! Abuse is very common in teenage romances.
@@NunyaNomi yes, that is so true!
O boy, so teachers, gotta teach: academics, sex, don't take drugs, don't bully, and now..How not to be a jealous Phycopath companion?..Let's hope they get raises, goodness..How about folks teach their kids how not to be entitled, spoilt, jealous menace, instead of expecting poor teachers to do it all 🙄 just saying..
@@AutumnBRreeze Seeing as how they’re still not doing much about bullying, teenage pregnancy is up & scores are low....Biden will bring China in to fix it & teachers one job can be spotting the red flags 🚩🤣🤣
Do you want the teachers to warm up baby bottles too?
If you want to hurt someone you think you love you do not love them. You are obsessed with them. Big difference.
You never wish harm or do harm to someone you truly love.
there has never been a southern accent that's understandable on a court mic
The lawyers voices are satisfacory. It's the witness-box mic with the accent. Sheesh, there must have been enough unintelligible statements over the years that someone would have had the sense to replace it.
And _t e s t_ the replacement.
Turn up your hearing aid then, grandpa.
I could understand him just fine.
Yeah, it's why so many southerners who move up north consciously lose their accents. The accent seriously makes them sound like idiots.
Fact. I need subtitles 😫
me:already heard this story
also me:but this is monsters and the popcorn is ready
Perfect timing!! Still LOVING your channel. You’ve truly found your calling!! Your hard work has not gone unnoticed!!💜💜
Thank you for creating this video. Seriously sick dude. he threw away his own life too. Why do people actually believe they will get away with murder?? The prisons are full of them, yet more still believe they will be the one that gets away with it!
Because smart killers often do, and dumb people don’t know whether they’re dumb or not.
People who kill their lovers get caught. Dumb people who text,DM, or call their victims get caught. But, many people do get away with it. After the first 48 hours, you've got a 6 out of 10 chance of beating the case in the US. The number of unsolved murders here is sky high
Happens literally every day in this country. Multiple times. Much of it is socio-economic status of victims and perps.
Lots get away with murder. This loser probably even could have gotten away with it if he would have had a drip of intelligence left.
@@mattm8932 yep. In the hood there are plenty of ppl with body counts above 1 or 2. Cops dont really take time to investigate gang hits when then they happen in poor/minority or high crime areas. This is why serial killers with the highest longevity target the homeless or street prostitutes. Same principle
He was totally obsessed with her!! Respect to his friends who went to the police and he was held accountable for her murder and justice for Emma. That 911 call was heartbreaking 💔.
RIP Emma 🙏
This type of personality is always obsessed with people, not because they are so attached to it, but because they absolutely cannot stand to lose anything. They want to control, dispose of, and ultimately destroy. Nothing should survive them. “All good for them, all bad for others”. It is an extreme psychological defence process that is set up as a shield against severe childhood emotional abuse.
Not all victims become victimisers, but all victimisers have been victims, says Alice Miller. 😬
Thank you for the subtitles & photos. This is a first rate channel. I haven't heard about a lot if these cases. It's just sad there's so many murders & child abuse cases that we have all of these channels. Keep up the good work. New sub here.
Thanks so much!
when i encounter a "ill kill myself if you leave me" if they dont cave to being reasonable to them i simply say do it, i wont cry for you they hate when the person they're trying to control won't give
Exactly!
@Lilith Manson the world would probably be a better place if all the crazy, abusive pieces of turd actually killed themselves instead of threatening their victims with it and using it as a tactic to control them 🤷♀️
Not to mention, people like this have too big of an ego to kill themselves. They'll kill their victims before they kill themselves. Literally. The only thing that will push them to commit suicide is successfully killing their victim and then theyll off themselves. They're cowards. And as someone who has personally dealt with a psycho like this.. I have absolutely no sympathy for them.
@@assilemeerpud Yeah, way better if instead of temporarily making someone feel bad, they kill themselves........
Also, pretty sure there’s more suicides by those threatening suicide than murders.
Simply honestly say, that's your decision.
If someone shows you their unstable, get of there!!
Prayers for Emma's Family.💔💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏🙏How Devastating, in Soo many ways! Young people don't always understand, how Truly Dangerous, an abuser is, at that age!! In their Innocence, they think breaking up will end it. RIP, EMMA. Thank you, for sharing these Very Sad Cases, in an Excellent way.
The picture of Max, Phil and Ian from Eastenders made me piss myself laughing
The grandpa just died a few weeks ago. Riley’s friends grieved him.
I'm so over this murdered saying "I didn't over there to harm her, just scare her so ad she had no choice but to talk to me" ie., you went over there to HARM HER.
Seriously! There was a dude responding to another persons comment on this video where they were saying this was clearly not pre-meditated and he was just “unlucky”, and I was flabbergasted they had the gall to take his side. Like dude, if he did that “just to scare her” then why the fuck are the only 2 bullet holes BOTH lined up PERFECTLY with where her head was? Like this is an open and shut case of premeditated murder, no discussion needed
Terrorizing her IS harming her also. But they never think of that. He'd been mentally abusing her all that time.
Preach that!
Preach that!
I don’t think I could sit through the forensic testimony of it was one of my kids. That’s awful.
So sad but this kind of thing seems to be happening everywhere.... wtf....
It's almost normal....scary
Such a waste of primo snatch.
Folks better start recognizing crazy..early.
Who else watches a case here and then watches the same case on That Chapter and vice versa? 😁
He didn’t need “help” to get rid of a gun. I think he wanted to involve the boys because he wanted to mess with them. They weren’t his friends, they were Emma’s friends. It’s a good thing the boys got him instead. He really has a sick mind. He is seriously messed up there.
I think so too. When the one guy told that he had a gun, I feel he thought he'd get them entangled so they wouldn't talk anymore. I think he was planning to blackmail them.
Probably try to implicate them for sure
Riley’s schemes to get her back sounded like something straight out of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” lol.
Happy to see your follower count keep going up! These are great. Really appreciate your content 😊
Thanks so much! 😊
In most of these cases the friends do help with covering the crime and I'm always left wondering "..who in their right mind would do that?". I would immediately hand my friend or family over to the police in such cases and I'm glad to see like minded people like me! I'm not about to be sent to prison for "Accessory after the fact" and "Tempering with evidence" - no friendship worth that!
Big difference between “getting involved” in the crime, and “turning my friend/family in” for the crime.
But you’re actually in the majority. Most people rat on their friends.
Me and my man's we live together and we talk about that like baby if u ever come home and had murdered someone I love u but I ain't covering ur ass. Besides I better be the only bitch he wants to kill anyways.
My new favorite channel 🥰 my morning is getting better from here. I hope you get to 10 million soon
This is such a sad case. If you go to her Twitter account you can see her posts over the years. She was a lovely girl.
William Riley Gaul, I'm going to go out my back door, play in my pool, then have a big steak and baked potato with a glass of wine. Enjoy your prison food.
Not only did he mess up his life, but he’s trying to mess up someone else’s life by asking individuals to help him dispose the murder weapon !!!!!!
I already know a lot about this case but I sat through the whole episode because I love your videos so much!
I saw Mike's goo at this one, love to Mike but I think you covered in a little more depth. Great job.
My 5th year high school reunion. It was revealed that a couple since middle school had divorced. The woman had claimed Domestic Abuse. As my classmates talked, we realized that the Abuse had existed even in middle school.
I can't believe what luck evil had that night. It could've gone completely the other way and missed her by a fraction. I applaud his friends for a great job at bringing him down. 👿😡
I think you're one of my favorite channels!!! 😍
Wow, thank you!
I literally pray I never have to lose my child like this
The dude that coughed during the enitre courtoom footage started COVID
I'm glad we have a longer video. I like the longer ones better personally.
Glad you like them!
This is now one of my fav shows to listen to while at work.... Great work sir
Being possessive is a classic young dude mistake that most of us go through at least once. It has a 0% success rate. Broken hearts heal themselves. May take a while, but they do. This was beyond senseless.
Never me you speak for yourself
I know what you are saying and it isn't just men.. I never behaved his way but I remember feeling frantic and thinking ill never get over and years later I struggle to remember what's his name.
This is truth
Nah.. just no
True
Let's get it. So he followed her called all day.then killes her. And then say sorry
Wtf.is he series that crazy. Life in jail how about that
He is probably saying well at least she is not dating anyone .girls when u see your boyfriend tell u what to wear. It is time to go. Rip.young lady.🙏🙏😢
Sonia Rosado...We have to stopped this "BLOODY OWNERS"!! of our girls!!
Just one more reasons teen boys shouldn't be allowed in your daughters bedroom.
Considering all the murder stories connected to teenage love, I think a 100yd perimeter around the house seems fair🙄
I'm really liking the human element you add to the narration with little comments and quips. Your editing is really well done!
In this video an elder explains what a "wallbang" is.
Just wild.
