The fact that he had to turn himself and and it was a STRUGGLE to turn himself in. That is BONKERS.
"I killed my mom"
"LOL, Stop kidding Ed."
"No seriously, I'm a serial murderer."
"Classic Ed."
Yes😱, it is so crazy,, they truly did not believe him - and he is, at any measure, a quite convincing...well, serial killer😲😲😲
What an Ed thing to say ! 🤪
"oh Eddie, you and your jokes"
Can you imagine you speak to your friend and say hey what are you doing have you got any suggestions For what I can watch on Netflix ? and he says - hang on I can’t talk right now because I am skull fucking my mother’s head .. yes yes it’s decapitated , and then I’m going to scream at it for an hour and throw darts at it speak soon 👍🏼 (I wrote it as a comment but also wanted to out it where the people in the comments seem light hearted enough to not be pansies about it and could take a joke )
@@Jolenesmart1980 haha. Shit, I don't wanna laugh but damn. Also your name is so similar to mind I thought I wrote this comment while drunk or some shit 😂
Discussing his close relationships with the police was an important piece left out. He learned a lot from them. Went on ride alongs looking for the “coed killer”, which was him, just to learn what tactics they were using.
He drank with the police in their hangout bar ? They liked him.
Yep. And he used to hang out at The Jury Room, which is a great dive bar now, but was a cop bar back then. He'd sit with the cops as they discussed the cases of the missing girls.
I live in the town where this all happened and people still talk about it.

I always find Kemper's intelligence and likability bone chilling. If he hadn't become a killer I could see him being a quirky professor.
Me too! He's actually got a great voice & sounds very knowledgeable. Creepy but cool
@jeff allen Yes Officer, this comment right here
@@shannaprissyleamon1311 About the voice... He actually recorded for audio books for many years of his sentence.
He sounds like Jim Henson.
The guy who plays Kemper in Mindhunter is effin' brilliant!
Mind hunter?
Right?Wth did it get cancelled I was so obsessed with the show, esp after watching the Ed Kimpur episode.Im so pissed!😡
@@angelagonzales813 omg 😱 seriously?It's a show on Netflix
Right down to how he looks.
Totally agree I confused the two
It's a travesty that the guy who played EK on Mindhunters got no recognition for the role. He absolutely nailed the cold lifelessness perfectly.
I was thinking the same and then I read that he actually received an Emmy nomination for his role in the show. He didn't win, but the nod made me feel better LOL
Why do you think he got no recognition? I have seen him recognised.
I was just about to comment this. His vocal inflections and mannerisms were beyond perfect.
Not true.
Everybody loved his role.
Now he has to prove he can do something else
Dude gave an Oscar winning performance on a show that Netflix didn’t even promote. Luckily, the guy is a great actor and he’s getting recognized for other roles.
The scariest killers are the ones that seem the most harmless. In a conversation with Kemper you'd never think he'd hurt a fly. The guy is so intelligent and knows exactly how to manipulate people into sympathizing with him. Even if you feel sorry for him or think he was a victim of his family, he's still a killer that did all of it willingly and would probably kill again if released.
For a moment I forgot what he is untill it was mentioned how he buried a family cat alive just because and killed the second out of Jealousy
It always starts with killing animals. Ian Brady did cruel things to cats, then they want to get bigger, sick satisfaction out of killing people.
He talks in a story telling way, like it was a piece of fiction. Very scary.
what, aside from his gigantic stature and penchant for sexual sadism and murder you mean?
There is far cry from intelligence and cunning cleverness
He says it's scary trying to bury a body. Only a serial killer would say something like that. Most of us are scared at the thought of EVEN seeing a dead body!
Ya I’d probably pass out 😰😥
Yea he’s got some kind of personality disorder. He only found it scary in the sense he was paranoid about being caught, he wasn’t disturbed by the violence or anything. Strange character. Maybe a psychopath, but that was certainly not his only issue.
And what disgusted me the most about this segment is how it referred to disposing of that precious girl's body as "stuff." This thing is a vile, putrid, wretched, disgusting waste of life. I despise it and loathe that I must share this planet, no, this universe with it and anything like it. That thing sucks.
It would be terrifying to bury a body, if you get caught then you have to dig more holes.
@@Aventon500wheelie Richard, seek help. Seriously man, if that's your idea of humor, you're fucked in the head.
There's an interesting little story Kemper gave regarding one of his first victims. While he was handcuffing Mary Ann Pesche, his hand grazed her breast and he apologized out of embarrassment, before killing her a few moments later and doing horrible things to her corpse.
I always found this backwards sense of priorities to be utterly fascinating. Kemper not only killed Pesche, but he also performed sexual acts with her corpse, and yet accidentally touching her body was something he felt the need to apologize for.
He had no self confidence. He couldn't do all that sexual stuff with a living person. He felt "embarrassed" just by accidentally rubbing her breast. To him, a dead person was still a person but without judgment.
fuckin bananas man, this guy is beyond nuts
My favorite little bit of his story is during his second coed victim Aiko Koo he accidentally locked himself out of his car.
Despite already pulling his gun on her and it still being in the car with her; she unlocked the door for him anyways where he killed her!
I thought that was super hot 😍😍
@@penelopephelange tf
This is one of those cases where I wonder if his mother hadn't have been such an awful parent would he have become a killer? Maybe, maybe not, but she certainly helped mold him into one.
its always the mother
@@anonamoss78 still not their fault , he choose to be a killer and sometimes its the father
@@blitzen5038 I agree that sometimes it can be the father, but serial killers have an unusually high number of mother issues, usually through verbal abuse more-so than physical abuse.
Ultimately EK is solely guilty for choosing to do the awful things he did, but had he been raised by a better mother he may not have. It's a classic nature v nurture argument.
Every time I watch/listen to something on Edmund Kemper and interviews with him, I think/wonder what might have been different if he'd killed his mother first or instead of his grandparents? Might that have been enough to change his course? Like would that action have drawn enough attention to actually get him some much needed care and perhaps learn emotional & social troubleshooting skills (couldn't we all benefit from that?!)? And maybe some psychological treatment to deal with his mother's pervasive negativity and rejection - you can tell he still hears her forever shaming & blaming him for his very existence in his head.
@@blitzen5038 a mother who abuses their child physically or mentally is defo to blame!! yeah sometimes the father
Parents need to be more caring, loving and kind to their children. What is wrong with people. Do not have children if you are going to treat them like garbage. Put them up for adoption or something. This guy became a cold blooded killer and knew exactly what he was doing with each and every murder. RIP to all everyone who was killed by his hand.
agree...western world unlike the older and non-western cultures is short in empathy and warmth. RIP to all the souls.
@@am5790 I have to disagree here. There are MANY to name insofar as non-western cultures that are cold blooded. I do not think that has a lot to do with region. These atrocities are based on mental diseases.
@@elizabethantoine9652 what to do,someone just want to blame white people
There are a lot of adults in this world who are some screwed up individuals all because of how the adults in their childhood used and abused them. This could have all been avoided if he simply had a family who gave him love instead of treating him with contempt and hatred. It's like that all over the world.
YES, thank you. NO killer has good loving parents
He seems charming in interviews. That might be the scariest part
@Christopher Meisner Right. If this guy wasn't a murderous psychopath, he'd be ok to hang out and talk with.
He will be on medication too
@@Fourthson100 he actually seems like a smart and charming person. Aside from the bizarre and creepy murders. 😆 I commented myself that he made all these things sound reasonable even tho you know they’re sooooo not.
But he really doesn’t sound charming. He sounds like an overbearing, bragging child
@@BlankParty all narcissists act the same to get pity from people, the thing with kemper at least I respect is in his interviews he doesn’t call his victims bodies he remembers there names and says he’s a monster for taking there lives, which makes me think now he’s on medication he should have been on from day one, is why he’s helped the police with information on serial killers as a way to say he’s sorry for his monster it’s ways and doesn’t act like bundy and other narcissists who blame others
“She went through three husbands like a hot knife through butter.” I mean… I know he is a serial killer, but that’s funny.
BookishBear ... Has been an oft repeated saying for years.
3am is the perfect time to watch videos about serial killers! Let’s go!
Was that a nod Mike?😂
Can’t sleep so I’m watching lol
Uh, it's only 19:30 (7:30 pm) on this Thursday evening! I'm not sure what crazy place you all are from (somewhere in the Amazon jungle?!?).
Are you suuuuuuure? Cz I'm at 4:26am and honestly it's quite lovely 👌.
🙉🙊🙈
😂😂
At 6 ft 9, imaging the horror his poor victims endured seeing this monstrosity of a man looming over them!
Oh my goodness that’s exactly what I was thinking! He’s huge!
@sam Kayy you must have small stick, cuz that's not what she meant. Stop trying to joke! Any 6'9" homicidal person is scary.
@sam Kayy That's immature.
@sam Kayy ha ha ha somebody lied to you ;)
@sam Kayy lol there's always 1 to lower the tone
He says he felt like a scared bunny paranoid everyone was gonna get him. Except for the fact he's a 6'9" 300lb wookie who should fear no one.
Bro im 6 foot 7 and am shit scared of most things somedays im even scared to go to work.
Eh, that's not how delusions work my dude. Plus he very well may be full of shit and trying to appeal to people's pity
I grew up and still live in the same town where Ed Kemper's mother lived...and where he killed her. My cousin lives right across the street from that duplex. I still shiver whenever I drive past it.
I got chills just from reading your post.
@@suzannenichols6900 Right! My stomach just went into knots lol
@@y2kraye no it didn’t 🙄
@@katiec972 Ma’am are you my nerves to know, lmao
It is beyond me how someone gets released after committing murder intentionally
He worked closely with the psych staff and knew all the tests inside and out. His intelligence and calm demeanour fooled many on the staff.
Because, California
because of his IQ
those who released him have a lower IQ than his.
I agree with everyone here. Being 15 at the time of the murders helped too.
After murdering once, nobody should be released.
Jiles, this is one of my favorite episodes you have put together. It is absolutely fascinating how he manipulated everyone around him, to include the psychologists into believing that he was not a danger to society. Even the games he played as a child foreshadowed dark events to come in his life. I love that you included footage of Edmund talking about his crimes and his mindset at the time.
He was a very smart person and it's sad to think that he could have done really great things with his mind. He did really help lay out the groundwork for psych research on serial killers because he was so conversational and also self aware of his motives.
He's so well-spoken like a professor explaining murder cases to students. Hard to tell what a scary evil this guy is!
Kemper is the creepiest to me:
He seem so forthright and honest, but I cant tell if he is full of it and thats... 😨
He's a psychopath. Most will be truthful when backed up in a corner, after all lies fail and they realise "If I'm honest, I might get some kind of pardon." Specially if they are seeking to avoid the death penalty.
But aside from that, they will lie and manipulate the hell of anyone.
he’s just honest. that’s the least they can do when they get caught
@@misseselise3864 yeah, I've always thought he was always pretty candid and honest...Same with Jeff Dahmer.
Being believed no matter how depraved is something psychopaths value because they can't trust anyone else but they know when they are being believed. Its a mode they turn on
@@bruceluiz trueee
I’ve been a true crime addict for a long time. Edmond Kemper is one of the most interesting killers to me , I’ve ever studied. He’s so smart and actually makes sense about a lot .... until he goes right over the edge. There’s so much to his story. Look into him , if you’re interested. There’s so much information from his own mouth.
I feel like if Dwight Schrute were a real evil person, this would be him.
Yes!! 😂
I'm DYING😂
The overkill killer
Omg 🤣💀🤣💀
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂
I've always been fascinated with Kemper. He is so intelligent and very matter of fact about everything. I wonder who he would have been if it wasn't for his mother.
This really brings to mind the perennial argument in psychology of 'nurture versus nature'. I REALLY believe this man could have turned out TOTALLY differently, if his family of origin hadn't treated him like TOTAL garbage.
Same. I do think there’s a lot of pathology there, but it was nurtured by his horrific upbringing.
I would like to think so, but the barbie dismemberment and the killing and decapitation of cats makes me think otherwise.
@@kirstywright5228 by then he was probably already being treated terribly by his family.
@@NotSoSerious69420 Normal children who are being bullied do not slaughter and decapitate cats.
@@kirstywright5228 I agree,also not mentioned in the programme was the quote made by Kemper,when teased by his sister that he fanicied his teacher,his reply was "if i kissed her,i'd have to kill her first".
It’s like a black comedy that he rang the police to confess and they wouldn’t believe him .... 🤭
being a large man, i can empathize with the awkwardness he felt growing up...it has lead me to some awfully dark places...but i always made it safely back to coolville, you know? i could always talk to either of my parents about anything, and their sage wisdom has served me well into my mid-life...
how many of these creatures could have had a different story if only they hadn’t grown up unlovely and unloved?
You are so blessed to have had loving parents! I was an unwanted and unloved 3rd child and, worse, her second daughter. My life could have been so much different if I’d had a non-covert narcissist mother’s love, nurturing and guidance.
Oh yeah try being a little person. Stfu
You don't have to be a giant , when you come up under warped conditions . This was in the 60's , the enviroment and lack of upbringing can make up for the size ! Maybe that and the TBI at a young age as well ??
N.D. I feel for you… I have a friend who is 6ft 10 and when I first met him I thought it must be cool being that size.
What makes him/you (all of us). awesome isn’t our size but the size of our heart / character❗️
My friend can’t sit on most toilets 🚽
He has difficulty in cars and spaces most people take for granted.
I watch THIS GUY and feel horrible for the victims who didn’t do anything to deserve his depravity.
He’s clearly intelligent yet his emotional intelligence stopped growing years ago.
⚠️⚠️ To the commenter who mentioned the trials of being a little person; you’re absolutely right that being _picked on_ for *any reason* _especially for your size_ and other things we have NO CONTROL OVER _IS WRONG_ ❗️⚠️❗️
8:29, ... I'm a retired, due to back injury, male registered psychiatric nurse and I find it interesting to see his emotional lack of growth when talking about dating here. Goes to show that even though he has an intellectual IQ of 140 or 144, but the emotional IQ of a child to mid teen. He's still emotionally no different than the day this date happened as proven by his mannerisms' and affect when speaking of it. He's actually so uncomfortable that he turns away for a split second and say's the words, "It's terrible".
TLDR: Long-term juvenile offenders need to be exposed to normal teen interactions.
You brought back something that I had forgotten about. I started working at the Indiana Boys' School (juvenile prison) in Feb 1988. At that time, and for several years before (never knew how many years beforehand), Boys' School and nearby Indiana Girls' School would hold dances for eligible students.
The idea being to allow these teens to experience normal teen life.
The dances were discontinued a few months later. I believe because of inappropriate behavior of a few of the teens.
While at age 24, no kids, I couldn't understand the rational. Looking back, thanks to your comment, I realize how important this was due to the fact many of these kids were always in the system.
In fact another Correctional Officer mentioned to me one day, how one of the Students was emotionally stunted by his subject of conversation. He'd been at the facility for 3-4 years at the time. Since 13-14. He would not be released until one day before his 21st birthday. Yeah, for murder.
Anyway we had 3 male juveniles who spent their entire teenage life in prison for murder/rape. Ironically one did more time as a juvenile, than his Uncle who planned the crime.
Thank you so much for doing this case. His Mother berated him because of his size???? Why is that his fault? I assume he was a monster, but i also get that his Mother made him what he was, by her disregard for him, When he spoke about her coming home and reading a paperback, saying "I suppose you will want to stay up all night talking", he was still really hurt by that comment. I have no doubt that she said some awful things to him over the years, and the suspicion that he might harm his sister when he was young, had he harmed anyone at that point? There is no doubt he started off with a dangerous personality when he is killing his cats, but I do believe his parents treated him like he was unwanted. As for the police telling students to only take a ride from drivers that have a campus sticker........??? That is insane, no one knows what a person is capable of, was Ted Bundy not a student at one point??? FFS!!! Imagine coming out with that!!
It's very common among serial killers to have been belittled and abused by their mothers. There are numerous studies about this topic
@Sandra Turajlich also your comment is very rude. Don't call people "idiotic"
I also seriously doubt that you knew Ed or his mother, so you don't know either. It's pretty ironic that you call some idiotic for not knowing something that you don't know yourself. Don't be a dick
kenn1936 I agree...His mother was pretty awful to him. And to lock him down in the dark basement at night, just because she was worried about something he "might" do to his sisters...He got a long fine with them. I also love how candid and honest he speaks of everything, as well as taking full responsibility, albeit somewhat blaming his mother. Though she did sound like a complete and utter bitch. To find out more, people should watch his interviews here on UA-cam, they're pretty good...
@Sandra Turajlich you knew them personally, did you?? Please enlighten me. I'd love to hear more about their relationship...
You obviously haven't done much research about Ed have you. I'm guessing you missed the part about what his own father said about Clarnell, Eds mother, as well as the part where he said he wanted to die by death by torture. Also, there will be no "old sparky" because California doesn't use the electric chair...Smh. I thought you'd have known that, since you say you lived there. I'm not even American, and I know that. Pffft, you don't know too much for someone who goes spouting off about everything you think you know. I suggest just keeping your mouth shut next time aye :)
And no, I'm not making excuses for him, I'm just trying to give you a better understanding of Ed himself as a serial killer...
@Sandra Turajlich Everyone is entitled to their opinion without receiving abuse from others Sandra - try not to judge!!! I never implied his mother was the only influence, but she was a main contributor to his resentment and anger.
The interpretation of him on Mindhunter on Netflix is spookily accurate!
It's crazy to think that he refers to the woods as scary when he, himself, was the boogeyman.
"Monsters is a show about the worst human beings on the planet.'
Me: damn! I thought it was gonna be about monsters
You can't help but be left feeling disgusted, angry, pity, empathy and confusion at this.
On the one hand he has an abusive household; horrible but not so unusual. You have his impulse and lack of empathy for his victims, but remorsefulness for something he clearly believes is out of his control. It just leaves you mixed up because there is the smallest thread of conscience and pain in there working against the horrible person he is.
Super weird.
I love when those monsters can tell what they did like a simple story, you can kind off understand what is broken in their effing mind without be a criminal psychiatrist. But it's also so creepy that you are glad to not be a criminal psychiatrist...
the pay is good.
Everything he says is a product of lonely nights in his cell thinking about what to say and how to say it. The rest, his huge brain just works out along the way, depending on who he's talking to and what is the purpose of the conversation.
This story, however eloquent and engaging, is equally purposedly dressed up to be so. It's like he's telling a really interesting story about some guy (the version of himself from the past that no longer exists) and doing it so in a way that sounds like he's criticising that other person's actions. He knows for a fact that this is what the other side wants to hear... At least it's his best chance. The fact that people can easily find him charming is exactly what is so dangerous about him... It means it works.
Absolutely LOVE your channel. I couldn't hit the play button fast enough!! Thank you.
As I was just on my way up to bed to put on my Scary Stories to go to sleep and low and behold I have a notication Of (This is Monsters) 👹 Yes this Upload first! Then Bed.💋🤗
The moment when he says “it’s scary going out there and trying to bury somebody!” It really showed me the thoughts that really were going on in his head. The actor in Mindhunter was incredible!
My parents always tell me to be aware of people no matter how they look. I didn't get that earlier now at later stages of my life I can understand why ...human are always capable of doing things beyond our imagination. Good or bad...who are we to comprehend , judge and control? We can only be accountable for ourselves.
People have no idea what it feels like to be abused and neglected by your parents and siblings. I never killed any of my pets instead I was the opposite, I loved my Blk Labrador retriever and looked forward to seeing him everyday from school. One particular day I came home looking for him my mother m told me he was in the backyard I didn't see him. I figured somehow he'd gotten out and ran away , he was only a pup. My mom gave me money to go to the store and their he was lying near the sidewalk dead he had been hit by a car. I ran back in the house bawling my mother told me to stop acting stupid cause he was only a dog...no comfort whatsoever.
When our neighbor poisoned her cocker spaniel because she kept messing with her cat's my mom cried like a baby. I didn't know anything back than about karma I was just 7 years old...it came back to her.
My parents are still together and I'm the youngest of 7 and just turned 52 in October. Reasons that I'm mentioning is instead of me becoming a serial killer I searched for love and that was a disaster because I didn't know about Narcs, Sociopaths or anything like that yet I was a magnet for them.
I can tell y'all so many things but it would be a novel . The best thing that my parents taught me was about God nothing else. I had to find out things on my own. The average person would've gone mad by now but I haven't and I have God to thank. Yeah, I can smile because of God.
If y'all was to see my family all of them are mentally screwed up. See when I turned 11 I stayed running away and I'm glad that I did because I would've turned out like the rest ....thank God 🙏🙏🙏 for taking care of me. Perhaps one day I'll write a book...only thing stopping me is the length of time it would take.
Write your book. I think it would help a lot of people.
Well, at least this monster knew he was a monster and seemed to want to rectify the evil he's done. And he's not out here trying to get out of jail.
I love listening to Kemper talk since he is so articulate. I find this story so interesting because all of the experts agree his mother was a huge reason he became like he did.
It's interesting that the blame is only on the mother. Yes, she was awful and horribly abusive, but no one ever mentions how Kemper was shaped by being abandoned by his father. His father left him with that abusive woman, knowing she was abusive.
@@zarasbazaar Its true.. Come to think of it she was domineering and sought out a man she could bully.
@jeff allen This isnt to sound shotty but that response is bonkers. You decided from my comment that:
I'm racist
By saying someone sounds articulate and that guy happens to be white you assume that not only am I dissing people who aren't and those people must be black?
Even if I did mean to diss on people who aren't articulate you assume that means black people?
And I can think someone's prison interview is intriguing and interesting AND AT THE SAME TIME not hitchhike and take rides with men.
Do you see how crazy that sounds broken down?
huge guy, very high intelligence, reasonable looks, he could have been/done so much with his life if not for his parents..

Thank you to everyone that works third shift! You are appreciated !!
He sounds so friendly, but with friends like that, you wouldn't need enemies!
Apparently he only did this to strangers, til the end.
Have you seen the Netflix show called Manhunter? The actor that plays him did a great job!
Ed could have been a good guy If only he could control himself. He was friends with local cops that he met at the local tavern. They didn't believe he could do what he did and figured he was just lying and bragging about having inside knowledge that he learned from those cops.
I also believe his moms friend didn't need to die. It was brutal the way he invited her over so she'd know what he did to his mother and see the results. Almost like he wanted to brag to someone about what he was capable of doing.

Underrated comment
Shiiiittt...with friends like Kemper, you wouldn't *HAVE* enemies...
He sounds articulate and intelligent I wonder how he would’ve turned out if he had a loving mom. My gut tells me that these type of people are born this way and the right trigger will put them over the edge. The usual person with the same type of upbringing couldn’t be capable of this type of behavior
It's nature vs nurture, I think he was born to kill and maybe with a better parent he could have pushed his darkness away, but he still probably would have killed
Well done! As always. You're fantastic. Please, keep em coming!
Why am I so fascinated by this dude?
I think it's because it seems like he could have been such a normal person and yet he clearly turned into a monster. We wonder why. At least that's part of my fascination. Also his level of self-awareness which a lot of psychopaths totally seem to totally lack makes him interesting.
Hhhhmmmm, I'm not sure!! 🤔 Were you a big baby, by any chance?

he takes no accountability. I am not trying to be harsh, but many of us had nightmare childhoods and try to make the world better.
Thank goodness you are back. Be honest, I have watched ever video thank you.
Should it be concerning that my first thought was "Ed Kemper!! My fav!"....?
* chirp * * chirp *
Yea, I thought so... Thank you Monsters for understanding my strange fascination lol
lol i dunno why but he is also my fav
glad i'm not alone lol. i feel bad having a "favorite" serial killer but nobody will ever terrify and fascinate me as much as this absolute monster of a man
Lol hes my favorite serial killer
Fave.
...somebody fantasizes about rough dominant sex oooo o.O
If you think life is full of rainbows and unicorns I respectfully advise you to go and watch the This is MONSTERS back catalogue. These monsters exist and are in our midst. There's so many out there that there's literally an endless supply of victims and videos showcasing how utterly rotten people are. You can't be too vigilant. Protect yourself and your family and friends.
There are also a lot of wonderful people too
True. Lets hope theres a lot more good people.
I cannot emphasize enough what damage a missing(loving)father does to a young boy combined with a terrible mother.i also lived with my mum but i just wanted my father so much,my mum was a prostitute and used my childhood house as a brothel!
My childhood was hell.soon as i left home i cut all ties with my mother that was 30 years ago.i didnt murder anyone like kemper did but unfortunately i can relate to him and people like him.to this day i carry the mental scars.thankfully having children really helps.of course the people i feel sorry for are the killers victims but when you put children in evil environments they become products of that environment.
I also agree the guy who plays kemper in mindhunters does a fantastic job.
Notified, & I'm here,, Thank you for the new upload & all your hard work. One of My favorite Utube channels💜🌹💜🌹💜👏👏👏
Been watching your channel when you had 5k subs... well done on your progress and growth - you deserve the recognition ✅
7 years to life wtf..was this judge high on something illegal
I enjoy hearing Kemper explain his thoughts though. He gives a insight that not many people have.
What I respect about Ed is that he is trying to get his life around and has regrets about what he did, and is trying to help other criminals to not do what he did
Jesus. This guy and Dahmer are the most “fascinating” Monsters I’ve ever seen.
13 lbs...good grief...my insides hurt 😣😩just thinking 🤔 about it.
Yeah, I knew a guy in college who was 13lbs and like 19-inches when he was born - bowling ball! My bf at the time said "my mom would've slapped me every day of my life if I'd been 13lbs when I was born!"
I was 7lbs14oz and 20inches; I can't even imagine!
As a True Crime enthusiast I have to say this is outstanding work. I had never seen video of Kemper
Timing. My guy, keep up the awesome work!
I thought he was taking a 2 week break? Not that I’m complaining. Keep the monsters coming!!
Maybe it's a re-upload... 🤷♀️
I know Ed did inexcusable deeds but after seeing his interviews I do feel sorrow for this man he had demons that he let win . I also feel sorrow for the poor innocent people that he hurt too so I’m conflicted 😐 not denying that he belongs in prison however if he was treated with kindness and someone was there for his iq to flourish with love who knows what man Ed could have been.sad all round! No winners just pain and grief 😔
The only person I don’t feel sorry for in this story is his mother she told him all men were monsters and he was one so he became one
Anyone else notice all these serial killers have a tie to “classified“ America? His dad worked for Los Alamos. others too, I would just start kicking out names but I want to be precise. They are connected to USG.
Ohhhh noooo I feel a rabbit Hole on the move😨😅✌️
It’s scary how calmly he describes his crimes.
So much for those "experts" which we hear in the court and their opinion is someone crazy or not...
The way he spoke of his crimes in these interviews... So calm... Expressing his fear of burying the bodies... Like what the heck 😳😣
Love when Monsters episodes come out during my shift
I'd be so spooked listening while working overnight....I'm spooked now listening to this in bed. This man is especially terrifying.
This was really good 👍. Glad to have you back from your sabbatical with new Content!
8:45 I actually laughed with him because I believe we all been in those situations but then I stopped and realize that this is the same man that murder his grandparents. Truly disturbing that his charisma can make you forget what horrific things he done.
It amazes me how someone who is obviously intelligent and clever not be able to distinguish between right and wrong or at least control these primal urges.
He is big but he is an even bigger coward. He shot at least 5 of his victims so for them his size was immaterial. A fit, healthy aggressive man would scare the poop out of him. He is only good for killing vulnerable people. As for his intellect? He is a good orator of his own fantastical, horrific deeds. He is matter of fact about what he did and that catches people by surprise. Yet why wouldn't he be? He is never getting out. All he has now is his infamy. Whilst he gave himself up, he absolutely would have been caught eventually and he already knew it. He was scared he would die in a hail of bullets and his memory end there like it does for so many others. He should have been put to death like he asked. I don't find him fascinating. Just cold and without empathy.
5pm upload time in Australia. Works well for me
I don't see it. Women always talk about how handsome Ed Kemper is. What's sexy about him?
That’s really cool that you put that suicide hotline and a message at the end of your video
Called a suicide prevention line once. Totally anecdotal. But mother dying, had to care for my younger siblings, work, school, etc. Got a complete jerk. Its a good idea, but i think if you are struggling, speak to a friend or colleague first. Some of these hotlines couldn't care less or even be slightly helpful
Twists my mind knowing Bundy worked as a crisis hotline volunteer & was GOOD at it. Part of me hopes he worked there for the huge sick irony & not because he hoped it would cancel out his own horrific behavior.
Point being. Too bad you didn't get a good person of help that time you called. I'm pretty sure it's of volunteer basis... So why work or be one if you're just gonna be a crappy jerk? 😒🤔💩
Yes. Unfortunately if it's not volunteer based it's just people that see it as a job. Nothing more. I've had horrible thoughts for years but I find distracting yourself with school or work helps. Hope you're doing alright now.
I called suicide hotline once at my absolute lowest point, with no resources to help. As soon as the operator heard a man's voice they hung up on me.
Fuck the suicide hotline, literally call anyone besides that number.
Also, be careful if you call and are just looking for guidance and not suicidal with a plan. I once called and wasn’t completely suicidal, just depressed going through a break up. I had called before and they tended to have nice people to counsel you and give you options and resources. My phone died while talking to someone, they tracked my cell phone to my apartment and they sent a bunch of police, took me out in handcuffs and brought me to a psych ward. Had to leave my dogs behind. When I got there, I begged the psychiatrist to let me go home. He could tell I was not intending on hurting myself and released me that night thank God. The hospital still charged me $500 for ER copay.
@@GC-pq6vm dude, similar experience. Really sorry to hear
His mother turned him into a monster, there are lots of mothers who mistreat their kids, show them no love, treat them like their not wanted and this is the result, a real life monster.
School bullies do the same thing too.
Man. So eloquent. I wonder what kind of man he could have been with a two parent, loving and stable family life.
If i was the psychiatrist that atested Ed Kemper is not a threat, i'd have quit my job and aplied to McDonald's
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a photo of him & another person...til now. The one in the beginning here...walking w those good ol boys...really shows what a GIANT he was! I knew he was TALL...but HOLY CHIT! He really was a MONSTER!😵
As always...excellent video...this is the best on EK that I have seen...you certainly have an amazing ability to tell these stories...thank you again 💕✌
i love you and your hard work! ::hugggsss::
I'm so excited you did this video! He is my favorite serial killer and nobody hardly ever talks about him!!!
A MONSTER is NEVER born, but nurtured - this poor sole realises his hopelesness by way of his honesty, when interviewed.
Civilisation is grown, and cannot be born!!
Keep safe and well.
That's wrong. Ted Bundy
13:10 Granted I may one to jump n the "cops are incompetent" band-wagon, but my guess was they said that so if the killer struck again *and* they knew most likely the killer in that case had a stiker, it would immediately narrow down the search to someone with access to the sticker; so the list of suspects can be cut down dramatically (assuming they had no one besides the whole city to go on at that point).
So, we just going to disregard the fact that he had to convince them he was the killer? Yeah....I’m on that bandwagon that they were incompetent!!
"She went through three man like a hot knife through butter" that line never get old!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Well no freaking wonder he turned out the way he did! I have never heard him speak or really knew much about him. I hate to admit this but in the interviews, he appears to be likeable. I guess I'd be one of his victims bc I would have read him all wrong!
The guy who played Kemper in the Netflix show ‘Mindhunter’ did a pretty good job.
I kind of like him. Obviously not what he did but I like his honesty. Especially to himself. It's very obvious that he is quite intelligent and perfectly aware of what he did and why and has an interest in analysing his own behaviours. And he's not playing an act of false remorse or excuses, he's trying to give an honest, direct and complete explanation of what happened. It makes him somewhat likeable for me that he's not trying to portray a role of himself, be it a more positive or a more negative one.
OMG. You find the creepiest and most horrific cases. I LOVE it!
He is known for having a savant knack for telling a person precisely what they they wanted to hear, after brief small talk, and a few open ended inquires to the person.
Infuriates me that Kemper 'charms' blokes. Blames his Mom but she was on point. He fundamentally was and is evil. And never justifies the murders of young women and the very young ballet dancer.
And killing his grandparents... did not like Grandmother telling him what to do. Arse
Everyone’s favourite freak
I prefer Jeffrey Dahmer! 😆
Look at his crafty pauses during press interviews. He gauges the reaction/lack of reaction indications or cues.
Edmund Kemper is a very interesting individual. Definitely a psycho & terribly scary person, nevertheless ever so intriguing.
I know what he did was horrible. But he was a very intelligent man. He could’ve done so many great things if he wasn’t so evil and his actions.
