You're not by yourself _Phillip_ . Scott is completely original. I came across his videos over a year ago scrolling through all of the Stephanie Lazarus' videos. His content is like no one else. He certainly has a knack for witty narration doesn't he? I subscribed upon watching his Lazarus video. Your comment describes Scott's videos perfectly.
I actually did a similar thing, I lied to my parents, family, friends, about going to college. I had dropped out, and knew my parents wouldn't just accept that, and I just started lying to them. Then I just got caught in a spiral, a web of lies, and didn't see a way out of it. I would spend the day outside or in public libraries just reading. I didn't know how to explain any of this, I ended up thinking the best way out was to find a job - except I didn't have a lot of qualifications (and I'll admit I was lazy). So I would just procrastinate. After some time I got sloppier (I think I might have unconsciously wanted to get caught), and I could tell I was about to be faced with the truth. Not once did I think about killing my parents. One night I thought about maybe just running away, but I knew that would break their hearts even more. So I ended up just being forced to tell the truth. Obviously my parents weren't happy to say the least, but I think what got me the most is when I realized how much I'd hurt them. They felt like they had failed me, like they should have seen signs, they were worried about what I might have done. They didn't even punish me, they were just like "let's move on". I ended up going back to college for a shorter degree (under stricter surveillance from my parents), and have had a relatively successful professional career since. I did however lose most of my friends. Having a secret life and needing to construct lies is hard and stressful, and I found they easiest way around that was to distance myself from people so I didn't have to talk (and lie) to them. During those two and a half years I pretty much pushed away all my friends, and didn't build any new relationships. Apart from the hurt I put on my parent's, that's my biggest regret.
@@thescourge6989 First off, I didn't have a job and was living at their place. I don't think they would have kicked me out, but they would certainly have expressed their disapproval (and would have been right to do so, I didn't have any good reason for not attending classes)
Sameish thing here...tho i crashed and bured second time with corona (without the lies)...at recovery stage now...depends on how ill manage 3 shift job with the studying
I hope you know Scott, that if your chose doing this more often, you could live and profit from it. You're gifted. You've got the thing. You're good at this. You're bringing something new to things that most of people think they really heard enough from. I'm happy to know you. You're a gem. One of a kind. Thank you.
Sadly there's a large amount of research that needs to go into each case that makes it difficult for it to release these quicker. Plus even if he did, it wouldn't be as good of quality as the ones that are more thoroughly researched.
@@borisindigo5593 There are plenty of true crime podcasters and UA-camrs who produce one to two thoughtful and thoroughly-researched episodes per week, many of whom have other full-time jobs. He's clearly not profiting much from this venture and if he put more time and effort into it, he could be.
@@sierraalexandra7630 One: Most of those podcasts don't go as in depth as Scott does. They do more of a brief overview and don't listen and read all the mediums of information available. Two: Those that do generally have a team of multiple people behind them (Jim Can't Swim for example is actually a team of people who split the task of researching, script writing, video editing among themselves). Scott doesn't have that. Scott has a tendency to investigate a case extremely thoroughly. It's one of his highlights and selling points. It's also why he's gotten so much attention from bigger Crime Focused youtube channels. But the downside is that the mediums that give information on cases are often interrogation and trial videos or press releases. And that's where the problem lies: Interrogation and Trial videos can last up to 7 hours on a good day (They're often longer). Press releases often hold a lot of irrelevant information that one has to sift through. That's why I don't think Scott could speed up the videos he makes. I'm not saying Scott couldn't make money doing what he's doing. I'm just saying he can't release videos faster without sacrificing the quality of his work.
@@borisindigo5593 That's just nonsense. I know of multiple podcasts that are 1.5 hours long on average and go very in depth. Some of the people I listen to will read an entire book in a week's time to prepare for a case. Scott does great research but he's definitely not the only one... Lol
So many horror-award nominations with this one. Dude actually borrowed a Swiffer WetJet from his girlfriend's mother to clean up the crime scene and then RETURNED it to her.
Omg you guys have gotten married officially?! Congratulations Scott!!! Hopefully you guys got to have some kind of celebration with friends and family and made good memories! So happy for you guys!
Something interesting my sister told me once -- Your brain gets a very similar dopamine release from telling someone you are going to do something as it does from actually accomplishing that thing. When you describe how you're going to back to college next year, your brain enacts that out in a tiny way as if it happened and hits you with a little bit of the feeling. This can be enough for some people to get the satisfaction they need out of something without actually ever really having a plan to do it, and is a reason why some people think it's not a good idea to talk too much about everything you're going to do, but what you've done instead, if you want to mentally trick yourself into self-motivation because you'll only get that happy feeling by actually achieving a real change you can then discuss. That was basically an offhand comment we talked about years ago, but I feel like it's not only interesting (and something I mostly forgot about over the years until just now), but also kind of applies a bit to this case. I don't know why I type the things I type sometimes, it just is what it is.
I thought about it recently (without knowing the science behind it), very interesting. It may give you relief (like when you lost an argument and then think that “ok, what if I would win it? It’s not really important so it’s better to stop worrying about it”). But it can be actually dangerous regarding something serious for people who tend to fantasize or lie about things, which can probably lead to a real delusion.
Explains why there’s so many bullshitters out there and why drug addict usually talk a lot of nonsense. Brings credence to the “Actions speak louder than words” adage
I’ve been in the hospital the last month and a half, so I watched a lot of this trial. My mom and I gasped out loud during the prosecution’s opening statement when they revealed the lies. They started out presenting them as truth, because that’s what everyone believed. Then they pulled up the list again but started deleting each “fact” one by one. It was shocking. Very impressive opening statement. Watching Chandler’s brother’s testimony and Chandler’s now ex-girlfriend’s testimony were heartbreaking. They still all seem in shock. Ps: home from the hospital now (after 5 open abdominal cavity surgeries) and recovering well. 😁
I’ve only seen the opening statement video you describe thus far, and this report from Scott now. Wasn’t that prosecutor great at how he did his opening!? I felt sick when he described Chandler burning certain body parts! I don’t want to get too graphic in comments but I’m sure you know what I’m referring to. I was imagining him sitting in front of the fireplace with the poker. 😱🤢 Really happy to hear you’re home from hospital and doing well. Yeay!!! 🥳
I managed at a college bookstore for a while, and someone from the registrar's office told me a story about a young man who faked college for four years. His parents were giving him money for housing and school (they did not live locally). But this kid was doing nothing. When it came time for graduation, he signed up at the registrar's office to walk at graduation, and he was called in and told he was only a freshman, because he hadn't attended class for three years and that he would (in no WAY...SHAPE...OR FORM) be walking at graduation. This kid then signed up to get a cap and gown at the bookstore, and his parents and other relatives FLEW from around the country to attend graduation. Things came to a head the morning of graduation, as he was not allowed to practice. His parents immediately tracked down the registrar and said that their son had been told he couldn't graduate because of some crazy story, and how could they fix it. The registrar had to tell them that the son was not graduating and had not been attending class for a few years. She said the look on the mom's face was memorable (a mix of rage and disappointment), and she immediately started hitting her son. They had to call the cops. It sounded like he really thought he might be able to just sign up to graduate and walk at graduation. I can't imagine what transpired when grandma and the other relatives were rounded up.
Then came the famous "chancla" or how is it spelled ? ^^ ( No I am not racist , but I know there are many cultures where Mom or grandma could apply for a professional football career with their ability to hit a target even long distance after throwing so many pieces of light footware at their kids for misbehaving) I have read this from people of Asian and Latino descent as well as ones from the Phillipines all over to Africa - though there might be a different name for said thrown footware.... Please don't hit me , I was only making a lightheharted joke !
@@janedoex1398 definitely a chancla (Spanish for flip-flop), and I've seen them flying towards my direction as a kid😂 Thrown mostly by -but not only- moms. Grandmas also play a role in the chancla game. Why Stayven, why.
My brother had a friend that did something similar, it wasn’t quite as bad, as this guy had attended some college, but he was behind and not going to graduate on time. However, his mom was under the impression he was graduating on time and he literally didn’t tell her until the freaking day of graduation. Also, he got traffic tickets he ignored and they turned into warrants for his arrest around the same time. Just a big mess.
Man I can’t imagine the level of delusion and anxiety he must’ve been under. Like even if he somehow pulled off getting a cap and gown and joining the class at graduation, he had to know in the back of his mind that his name wouldn’t be listed in the graduation program and his name wouldn’t be called to walk and accept a diploma. Not exactly like your parents aren’t going to notice that
@@gethaunted Narcisism makes people believe they could get away with behaviours "normal" people - [and even not "normal" ones- since I have diagnoses myself, but NONE of the antisocial/ histrionic/ narcissistic type. So I am still self aware what is reality and my illness 97 % of the time and that MY perception of someones behaviour is most likely the reason I feel so bad, rather their actions themselves...] But their "I am so much better ( looking) / charming/ stand out , devalue the opinion, traits, position i⁷¹ others up to 99 % of the population is so telling..... They " know" they are better than anyone else and don't need to be cautious, like they can play them like puppets and get away with anything ... This attitude is exactly what is the No 1 factor to get them caught. So in a way narcissistic/ I am god - type of behaviour is a blessing for everyone working in solving these crimes !
After a year of college, I decided it just wasn't for me. I quit half way through the final semester. My parents pushed me to attend college since I was a child but I was never particularly interest in going. I was not truthful with them after quitting because I knew they would be disappointed or say I was making a mistake. So when they would ask how my classes were going or what I was studying I would say all is good and just lie to avoid the difficult conversation. I still lived with them at the time so I would leave the house during the week like I was still going to class as not to raise suspicion and just go shopping or hang out with friends. When it came time for the next semester to start, I came clean to them. My folks were more disappointed that I lied than making the decision to quit. In the end I know I made the right decision for me and I now have a successful career working a job that I enjoy. I said all of this to say that it was very stressful keeping that facade going and that was just for a short time. I can't imagine what it must be like to lie about you entire life to everyone you know.
Casey Anthony infamously lied to her folks about why she couldn't walk at graduation, going to school, working . How do these parents never question about some damn proof! If it's over a couple hundred bucks in family even if I trust you I need to see it with my own eyes.
Oh, yeah. I guarantee you that old Chandler had been bullshitting his parents since he was old enough to lie. His older brother, Mitchell, was a normal kid who did graduate from college, worked, married and had a productive life. He’s clearly a narcissist.
@@erinc9391 there's a youtuber that did a more detailed 2-part video of the anthony case, and she implies the trouble about lying started with her parents.
Videogame addiction is similar to gambling addiction….both give the dopamine rush. But to take it to the level of neglecting life responsibilities is pathological.
My favorite part is when he goes into interrogation room and detective asks how he’s doing and chandler says “not good” and the cop is like “ good, good” haha
I saw the top comment so I wanted to share my story. I also did something similar. After my second year of college I started to just not go to class and completely neglected my studies. I became so overwhelmingly behind I just gave up and lied about my progress. Instead of school I was working part time and playing video games with all my free time. I was lying to my family and friends about when I was going to graduate. It basically just came down to the fact that I wasn't even close to graduating and I had to tell my parents because they were expecting my graduation. I never once thought about killing my parents, but I did have suicidal thoughts at the time I will admit. But I decided that I needed to face my problems and push forward in life. I got a therapist to help with my mental problems and I started back at school. That was Spring of 2020 and I am currently in my last semester of college. I just need to pass my classes this semester and I am finally done. If you are ever in this situation, seek help and be truthful as soon as possible. The amount of stress I went through daily is nothing compared to the stresses of going to class and studying. This led to me excessively drinking and eating nearly every day. I would wake up, go to work, come home, drink and play video games until I passed out. I was simultaneously destroying my physical and mental health. Just hearing Chandlers excuses reminds me of how I used to act similarly and I nearly had a panic attack. Watching this video and writing out this comment is simultaneously therapeutic and anxiety inducing. It is never worth the momentary bliss of delusion that everything is going to be alright. It will always come back to you at some point. It's sad because now that I going to my classes I realized that it wouldn't have been that hard to put in even a little bit of effort and pass my classes. Not saying that they are all easy and I have had my fair share of stress. However the relief that I can be truthful every day about my life is something that really eases me when I remember my past self. I am still rebuilding the trust with my family, more specifically my parents. I pretty much felt like a failure(and to an extent I was) and I felt horrible about letting my parents down. They felt like it was their fault when in reality it was all my own doing. I really hurt my parents then and I will never do something like that to them ever again. When I graduate I think that is when everything will finally be smoothed over so I can move to the next phase in my life. Moral of the story, honesty is important :)
The next phase of your life. Either you will work for a wage that is about half of what is needed for a decent life, or maybe you will get lucky and earn $50k a year, maybe from a gov't job. If you get a good job, don't buy a new car. Try to live economically and save 50% of your income. If you get a low paying job, wonder what the hell going to school got for you.
I’m so glad you never ended your life. If you think what you did hurt your parents…you can’t even begin to imagine what that would have done to them. Nothing you could ever do (except maybe what Chandler here did lol) could hurt them more than that. In order to be disappointed in the first place, they need to love you first. They were disappointed because they want the best for you. Their lives are contingent on your happiness. It may feel like a burden sometimes but it’s actually an amazing gift that not all of us are given. In a way it sounds like it wasn’t a waste at all…you learned not only a lesson but a skill. Now, when things seem hard, you just think back to those times and it propels you forward! You’re able to think, heck, if I made it through that I can make it through anything. And you CAN. Good on you for doing the right thing and turning things around. I also very much agree…seeing you walk down that isle and accept your diploma will most likely substantially improve the trust with your parents and it will absolutely restore the pride! Good job!!!
Thanks for sharing your story. I share many of your experiences as I’ve struggled with being honest to those closest to me for a lot of my life. It’s not rational, but once a lie takes hold, it can be hard to avoid a spiral. Thankfully violence has never once entered the equation for me, I always just told the truth when I was cornered. I have a great deal of regret and shame about certain times in my life, but honesty- total honesty- is what got me through my darkest hours.
"Shame" is a dangerous thing. So many of these stories of people being ashamed of the truth coming out end in murder. This moron just needed to man up and take what he had coming and sit in shame.
I agree entirely I think I remember JCS or someone similar saying that shame and embarrassment aren’t the same as guilt. Feeling guilty is an admission of what one has done and the perception is how one has affected others. However, shame comes more from a feeling of admonishment from others, keeping the perception of how one is treated rather than what caused the issue. Without self reflection, the issue doesn’t get resolved.
@@yarayugi7506 That was Dr. Todd Grande that made that explanation. JCS, TCL and Dr. Todd Grande all seem to share a large portion of their fan base. Not surprising since all three deal with analysis of crime and understanding criminal psychology.
Its so stupid they think murder is the solution. Don't they know during a murder investigation you have no privacy. All your secrets are going to become public knowledge.
You tell it so well! I once kept a lie going for 2 years, but in my defence, I was 12 years old. I had been at boarding school, but was so homesick that I left. I was then really school-phobic, and my grandparents (who I lived with) tried so hard to find a school that I could settle in. They bought me a new school uniform for every new school. Anyway, the authorities eventually found out that I hadn't been in education for a year, so I was forced to go to a school unit at a children's home. Only my grandparents knew, I have 3 siblings, and they didn't know. Every morning I'd wear one of the school uniforms, and my Grandpa would drive me to the unit, and I'd change into 'home' clothes in the car. I remember feeling so ashamed that this was happening, and the lying was really horrible. As I've grown I've become very open, and I try very hard not to judge anyone. Having said that, this bloke's a complete bastard! Thanks for your great channel.
Having a fear of school is not a habit. And my grandparents were total heroes, who took 4 little kids in when our Mum died, they were in their 70's, and should have been enjoying retirement. Not their fault, they loved us unconditionally, and also not exactly my fault either!! I was very traumatised. Last thing, school is a miserable time for a lot of kids, especially boarding school. My childhood made me strong, empathic and able to stand up to bullies.
@@lallyjoel2536 lieing is the habit I was talking about fear isn't a habit it's a natural reaction and I never said your grandparents weren't great people but everyone makes mistakes and by having you continue to lie even if only to your younger siblings was just that and lucky it didn't bite them and make it easier for you to continue lieing I think they did an awesome thing giving up their retirement to raise their grandchildren
I misunderstood, sorry. They really were exceptional people, we were blessed. Tbh, I actually think trauma can make people not exactly lie, but hide their true feelings. Being in care was shameful 40 years ago. I trained as a social worker to undo some of the crappy practice experienced. Anyway, the person in this case was at the extremes of deceit, and very amoral.
At least you learned the right lesson in all of it. Some kids would have went the opposite way and made lying their lives. The fact that you saw, even at such a young age, that that wasn’t the person you wanted to be, says a WHOLE lot. I would also say it was more your grandparents fault. I have no doubt that they loved you and were just trying to do their best by you and protect you but most children wouldn’t stand up to them in a situation like that. They basically just told you what was going to happen and you went along with it. You were just a child. No shame should be had in that. EDIT: I just read the other comments lol. Clearly they were just doing their best. Teaching children to lie is never a good thing but in the situation they probably just decided that it was the best of two evils. You were lucky to have them.
Just wanted to say that I love this channel's vibe! I follow some other true crime youtube channels, and all of them are unique in their own way, but this one definitely has something inimitable. (I think it's Scott's sense of humour :D) Lots of love!
Definitely the fact that he’s a comedian. Normal people deal with deviant characters too coldly. We are quick to thrown in our opinions and judgement and our retelling of a crime focuses on the shocking and the angering pieces of facts. Scott still injects his judgement but he elevates the entire story like it’s a sketch, finding humor in the disturbing character flaws and reinforcing those elements. Norm Macdonald must be an influence for him because Norm told the darkest stories yet somehow never left you hating humanity or left in despair. Scott loves people, and even if he despises the criminals and the ugliness in the world, he finds an empathetic approach - hallmarks of true a comedian.
Imagine what went through this fathers mind as his son killed him. His family loved him, supported him in every way, trusted his son, just to have his boy who he raised from a baby break his heart and then take his life. Man, what a shame. Chandler has all the expertise and credentials to be an amazing politician. 5 years of pathological lying, he could’ve been a huge asset to the state.
I am watching this trial, and it's great to see you covering it! I'm glad that I have just owned my failures throughout my life. People may think I'm a loser, but I haven't lived a lie.
In my humble and quite unimportant opinion, you living honestly and owning your failures means you cannot be considered a loser in any sense of the word. I’d much rather be a real/genuine failure (where there’s always a chance to turn things around) than a fake success (where there’s literally no upside, only down)!
I JUST learned, at 48, to think of anything you haven't succeeded at, as merely a learning lesson.. that f-word shouldn't be used to talk about your accomplishments 🙂 And whatever other people think about you, is none of your business!
Omg I just realized that I am a MOTH! Of course I have raised my kids, gone to real college, worked in the field that I went to college for, bought a house when I was 27 and then I became a moth lol. Let’s not forget that not only did he fake absolutely everything, he even got himself another cell phone and used that number on those fake emails so his dad could call him and he would disguise his voice and pretend he was whomever to fool his mom and dad. Can you picture that? His dad is in living room calling the admissions department at some college while he’s in his bedroom in the same house pretending to be that admissions counsellor lol. Mind boggling 🤪
He totally worked harder at not working than if he had a regular job and attended college. The planning and the manipulation that went into his scheme was unbelievable.
I agree with your wife. There is no way the lying started 3 years ago. He's had too much practice at deceiving people and getting away with it. This time, the lies got too big.
I can understand the initial lie. I did it. I was an addict and flunked out after my first year of college. What I did though was clean myself up and get a job then find a career path to go back for and actually finish. It really wasn’t too hard and I’m far from the most dedicated person. When I finally came clean I felt so relieved and then I revealed to them I had enrolled and been accepted into my Occupational Therapy course
One of the best opening statements by the DA. I didn't know anything about the case except the murder and dismemberment of the parents. The DA builds him up with his his lies and knocks him down with all the truths. Unbelievable! What a monster!
@Adam Apple 🏴 The info I have is from the JCS Reddit page. From what they said, UA-cam keeps pulling their videos? Something about an ex working for UA-cam? Though that doesn't really explain why they closed out Patreon. This was last week's news, it seems to change a lot
My college roommate, sophomore year 1st semester she took all the tuition money and spent it on all kinds of junk. She spent her days driving around spying on a guy she had a crush on. I remember she got a rabbit and it smelled really bad. I think it was sick. Her parents would call and she would say “tell them I’m not here” (this was in the early 90s). A couple of months went by. One day a knock on the door, I opened up the door to “where’s my daughter!?” My jaw dropped and I pointed to her room. They were in there for a couple of hours. Then they came out. The dad gave me $100 and told me to sell her furniture and they were gone. I didn’t see her for many years after that. I still don’t know why she did what she did. I suspect she had some sort of scholarship that maybe she lost due to grades. Back then school was super hard. No UA-cam etc to give you the answers! I think she didn’t have enough to pay for classes so she tried to hide the truth. ??? Not sure. That was crazy!
@@peggypeggy4137 oh I can’t remember. I know she had to give it away or something. It was so long ago. I just remember that it was very smelly and she always would open the doors to her room to air it out and my other roommate and I would close the door cause it stunk up the rest of the place. Good question though!
She probably was getting financial aid and used her financial aid package on all the BS like you mentioned, then financial aid won’t pay anymore if you don’t meet satisfactory academic practice. It’s almost funny her parents just said sell her stuff here’s $100 but they had to be devastated to have been being lied to as wel.
There's a great Don Knotts movie The Reluctant Astronaut where he moves away from home to take a job with NASA in Florida, ostensibly as an astronaut.. Turns out the job is as a janitor. Hijinks ensue when friends and family decide to visit. No murder though lol
i would honestly love to see a series about this case that starts at the beginning of the initial lie. just watching it get bigger and bigger and bigger until everything explodes would be amazing
He was definitely a great grifter. When I was that age, I had to work to get through college. People who's parents pay for them, just don't realize how lucky they are. Spoilt lazy.
cases like this and Jennifer Pan confound me. i grew up a lot like Jennifer, basically I had the same story except my lies stopped when i flunked out of college by losing my scholarship and had to face the music. my parents were harsh and i genuinely hated them at times growing up, but i never once thought about killing them. i just kept my head down and took my licks until i got the fuck up outta there and now I’ve gone no contact with them and am living my life! it’s that feeling of being stuck in a corner like a wild animal that makes people feel like there’s no way out but there ALWAYS IS.
Every time I see Spazzy Lazarus I always think of your unrivaled coverage 🤣. Hands down the best Stephanie Lazarus coverage in true crime PERIOD. Now I have to go check my pictures. Catch ya later!
How many kids in nightmarish situations would give anything to have parents like his were. Thanks for covering this one, I was in Prairie Du Sac the week before he did this and ate at the diner across the river where Mom turned up. Makes me wonder if it was he and friends we saw swimming on the sandbar!
" Chandler is just in front of the light like a moth " lol you crack me up. Thanks for covering this, I'm watching the trial. This guy must be the most accomplished liar I've ever seen. Thankfully the truth is now known and he will face the consequences of his heinous crimes.
I knew you couldn’t resist doing this one after I watched his interrogation. This dude is on another level. The dismemberment really puts him in a class of his own. He was so zombie like during his trial.
I can’t tell you how excited I was to see this video pop up yesterday. I’ve been glued to this trial as well. As always your coverage/take is fantastic. (As was your coverage of the Rittenhouse trial). I appreciate that you never seem to let emotion overtake fact to provide for some excellent non-biased takes on hot topic issues.
I just finished the video and it now has 1.5k views and 420 likes. The crazy thing is (not to brag!) I was the first to like, watch & comment the video, 15 secs after he posted! I'm so glad people are into this wonderful channel! You're a treasure, Scott Sharp! When you said "that will be all then," it was like you channeled Bart Holderson's sadness.
There are other cases like this where young guys killed their parent so they wouldn't find out they hadn't been attending college and were not graduating. One guy deceived his parents to the point that they took him and his brother out for a celebration dinner and bought him an expensive watch as a graduation gift.......he sitting eating dinner with them knowing a hit man (friend) he had hired was going to shoot them all when they got home from dinner. The father survived but his mother and younger brother were killed......
That is EXACTLY the case this reminded me of! Covered on Forensic Files and a lot of other shows. The dad actually has a relationship and supports his son. I mean, it's his only family he has left, I can't imagine what that would be like and wouldn't judge him for it.
@@pickles3128 I could never forgive it, and I'd be afraid if the son ever got out of [prison. I'd emigrate somewhere he could never find me. He doesn't deserve a family or a father. Some things are just unforgiveable.
I recall He said he was going to law school. I imagine it would be harder to do without the pandemic All online education He could sit and vidiot out all day saying he was studying. I have to wonder how close anyone really is with their kids not to know something was very wrong here. Jennifer Pan did this too Had her parents slain to keep up her lies. By the grace of God her father lived and outed her. So awful. I have two sons Ones not getting on in life as well as the other. We accept him as he is . He is not lying. He admitted that the older he’s gotten the harder it’s gotten to be happy with his life. But also hard to make up for time he has lost. He’s sweet and an artist and musician and he is honest that he has one class holding him back from his degree. It’s not a huge deal as long as you’re honest and admit you are struggling. I feel like Chandler always lied and got away with it and that’s not what helps a person. I am not victim blaming at all His parents had love and hope that one day he would find his niche. The ego is a huge problem in these cases. Instead of taking an entry level job and saying “ this is what I can do right now” These freaks always make out that they are wealthy or sought out by a great employer! It’s laziness, greed and ego all combined that makes them have this common problem of having to kill anyone who recognizes that they are simply unemployed and struggling to find their footing. It’s not a reason to kill And if they were that unhappy and unable to cope I wish they’d merkrd themselves vs the people who actually are trying hard to help them. This guy said he was going to be disabled w a colostomy bag, and his faithful girlfriend stayed right by him. He did not appreciate that people would still love him no matter his status or lack of employment. They loved him and he betrayed everyone. I feel his brother and girlfriend dodged a bullet. Like in grant ammatto case where he also killed his great brother and tried to frame him. Smdh
If you get the chance, watch the body cam footage of cops checking the cabin in the woods with Chandler’s brother. Chandler had told everyone that his parents had gone to their cabin by the lake with two mystery people he didn’t know. The police go up there with Chandler’s brother and his girlfriend, and within about 2 minutes it is glaringly clear that no one has been there for a long time. The grass is long and undisturbed, the cabin is locked up and the power is off, there is no sign that anyone is staying there or has been there recently. It’s really creepy watching the cops search through the empty cabin, dark and full of old family furniture and knick-knacks. And all the time Halderson knows his parents are dead and dismembered and this whole trip is a wild goosechase. His poor brother.
All the crazy details that I hear about this case makes me so wonder why no one backed up and started this story at the beginning. Especially since every update sounds like a Guy Joel Jr sequel. Until now. And thank god, because I don't know what's going on, please. - after catching up, I can't believe the alleged dismembering is the least wild part of this case. Can't wait for pt 2 when we see how a pathological liar tries to cover up an impulsive crime.
I’ve watched every minute of the case. It’s fascinating. As you say I think it was impulsive and a panicked way to cover his fraudulent life. Joel guy jr is a totally different animal.
@@jnnlis oh for sure! I do think it's interesting that Joel Guy seemed to spend a lot more time planning and he still just sort of 'meh'd half way through the cover-up.
Jennifer pan did this too, she lied about going to school, her boyfriend and her job or volunteer (I forget). She hired a hitman to kill her parents and make it look like a robbery. Her father survived.
As embarrassing as it is for me to admit, I feel a lot of similarities to Chandler's story (minus the killing my parents part). I went to college without having any idea of what I was doing, having to switch degrees because I couldn't handle the workload of my decided choice leaving high school. I had difficulty socializing with peers my age the way college students do, and that wasn't helped by the fact that I went to a big party school where everyone was ready to meet other people and hook up so easily while to me it felt very hard to do anything like the average college experience. So I spent a lot of my time in college hiding away in my dorm room playing video games as well. I did go to parties that I could manage to get into, but I was pretty cringe and couldn't handle a lot of my social anxiety and depression I had at the time to be able to gel with the crowd. Now I'm 25, realizing I have generalized anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder, post-college and hating life. I think many young guys are experiencing the exact same thing people like myself and Chandler are facing, I'd go so far as to say it's a modern day phenomenon the young male population of today faces. I have no idea why it is this way, or what factors play into this problem. All I can say is it makes life feel so demeaning and like there's no point to continuing on, no motivation to work or get a career, no ability to socialize or develop relationships, especially considering the past feels like such a failed attempt at life and carries such a heavy burden to move on from.
@@diann3880 Thanks for your reply. I do indeed get therapy twice a week as well as getting psychiatric help soon. I can't rewind the past but that doesn't mean I can't try having a better present and future.
I massively relate. Even with built in groups with common interests, I couldn’t help but always feel like I was living outside of the normal college world. My feelings of social inadequacy eventually led to me being unable to show my face in class and especially to a professor to get any additional help, so I failed pretty fast. If you ever figure out how to get over the whole feeling like an alien who’s only able to at best poorly mimic human behavior, let me know, as multiple therapists and drugs have been unable to help me at all. I just want to belong damn it.
@@Hifive91It was more of an effect than a cause for me, at least I think. Pretty sure the alcohol and amphetamine abuse had a more causal relationship with my struggles, although the negative emotions associated with my social anxiety also drove me to use those to cope. It’s a highly multifaceted web that leads to these things.
@@Hifive91 Sounds more like that'S the escape, which makes sense I guess. A lot of games have some kind of progession system with very clear rules, points awarded, etc. In a way, similar to real life but way less complex. The major difference is, empathic people with a problem like this come up with a solution or at least go through with the weird self-distraction from reality, they do not think about solving their own life by taking others' lives, let alone the ones who gave them theirs. This Halderson guy clearly didn't give a damn about anybody but himself. His parents were a utility to him, even his girlfriend seems like she is only in his life for status reasons, he clearly didn't let her in on anything. Obviously, he is next-level self-centered, but a lot of people are at like 30-50% of his level, where all they care about is themselves, and I think everyone needs to learn how to identify people like that and when the red flags start showing, you need to keep testing them and when youre sure, just comletely drop them, cut them out of your life. Insanely important skill to hone.
This sounds a lot like the case where the guy cooked his mom's head in a pot. It also has many parallels with the Grant Amato case. Our society is truly circling the drain.
You have to watch the rest of the trial and listen to his defense, which in my opinion, is comedic gold. The way she says "no thank you" in a sing song way, likes she rejecting a bag of pretzels on a WestJet flight every time the judge asks her if she wants to cross examine, is both a haunting reminder of what a shit job chandler did on his parents murder and yet, surprisingly hilarious
So chipper and cheerful! Definitely mid-west nice, that one. Lawyer you know made fun of it yesterday, he spliced them together. Hilarious! Plus in the middle of the state's closing arguments, when she is called a liar or something, suddenly she shouts: Now I'm going to object!! or something. Oh, now? In the middle of closing? It sounded as if she just woke up.
Your sarcasm is priceless! The crack about them taking all the cash and precious metal into the woods with some people they just met is comedy gold! Just found your channel and am loving it.
I had an issue with lying when I was a child and my mother made sure to put a stop to it right then and there. I learned that in lying to them I was lying to myself and got stuck in this place and time I could not escape. Lying forces you to remain chained to the past unable to move forward. Eventually, you spin your wheels and simply sink further into the lie.
You guys got married?!?! I love that!!!!! Sorry, yeah I know.. weird. But, I’ve always heard about your girlfriend in your videos, so when I just heard wife.. that’s awesome! Congratulations!
The faking of his own life was so extreme I started to think it would've taken equal or less effort to actually live that life. It certainly would've been more fulfilling and less stressful. It just goes to show how out of control lies can get
I’ve been hoping Scott would narrate the crazy chandler murder case. Scott’s humor is such a blessing… but he also remains so respectable to the seriousness of the situation. Love this channel!
I actually did the exact same thing like 20 years ago minus the gruesome murder part. I dropped a summer semester because I partied too much and couldn't pass a stats class. I never told my family. I just told my Dad a couple years ago and paid him back. The joke was on me. He said they knew all along. I still can't shake the guilt and I graduated a long time ago. My family thinks it's hilarious now that they know I didn't turn out a psychopath in the long run. His parents probably knew more than they let on in the first place.
Your WIFE!?! Congratulations!! Did I miss a video where you quickly threw in a reference in regard to getting married? Was it when your BIL was staying at your place and you went upstate? We have a Mrs. Schmeeda!! Woo-hoo!!
The people are never as interesting as Scott describes so I never watch the trials or look up the people as I prefer the image Scott paints…. With all that, I also kept picturing Chandler Bing
I found your channel recently and I am so happy I did. I love listening to your stories. Every video you make truly feels like you’re one of my friends just telling me a story. I get bad panic attacks and since I’ve found you, you have truly helped me. When I start having a panic attack I put your videos on and just close my eyes and listen. Focusing on you and your stories literally makes my panic attacks go away. I grew up in Wyoming and you remind me of my friends back home. Your voice is so comforting and your story telling is so calming and personable. You are hilarious and I absolutely adore you! I’m so happy I found you and I hope you know you make a difference. Thank you so much Mr. Sharp! ♥️✌️
I actually appreciate how you put these peoples lives in a perspective that is helpful to people like me who might have some of same issues a kind of kick in the ass to wake up and change cause this is who you are,how people see you,and consequences that come with these issues if you know what I mean.
Honestly you’re such an amazing storyteller Scott, i get so immersed in every video you upload and I just have to say thanks for all the vids over the years! 🤙
The lies would have started from learned behaviour I would think. Most likely started as a young little boy. He probably started out with little lies that were just passed by or not dealt with. He then grew older and the lies got bigger. I do think the parents had to have some suspicions about what he was doing. The father did start to question his never getting paid from this new job he had.
Hey Scott! New subscriber here letting you know that my husband and I absolutely LOVE your sense of humor!! We will send a donation AFTER we get our carpet cleaned...it wouldn't need cleaning but for your hilarious comments on the spazzy Lazzy episode that found me spewing out a big mouthfuls of coffee everywhere...it's your fault and no one else's!! lol Keep up the great job!! you are a true Crime loser Rockstar!!! Sean's wife
This reminds me so much of the Jennifer Pan story. It feels so much better living in your truth being a failure then having to come up with devious plans and stress all your life to keep up with your lies
Great video, thanks for the breakdown. I have been getting things really piece meal. What a crazy sociopath. The dismembering of his parents is what bothers me the most. Why did he feel that he had to do that? Who knows. Maybe the blue screen told him to do it.
I find Scott’s content comforting because it always feels like a close friend telling me about some shenanigans they witnessed.
Right
Hahaha you really put the words to it.
You're not by yourself _Phillip_ . Scott is completely original. I came across his videos over a year ago scrolling through all of the Stephanie Lazarus' videos. His content is like no one else. He certainly has a knack for witty narration doesn't he? I subscribed upon watching his Lazarus video. Your comment describes Scott's videos perfectly.
Facts man
100% That's his superpower
I actually did a similar thing, I lied to my parents, family, friends, about going to college.
I had dropped out, and knew my parents wouldn't just accept that, and I just started lying to them.
Then I just got caught in a spiral, a web of lies, and didn't see a way out of it. I would spend the day outside or in public libraries just reading.
I didn't know how to explain any of this, I ended up thinking the best way out was to find a job - except I didn't have a lot of qualifications (and I'll admit I was lazy). So I would just procrastinate.
After some time I got sloppier (I think I might have unconsciously wanted to get caught), and I could tell I was about to be faced with the truth.
Not once did I think about killing my parents. One night I thought about maybe just running away, but I knew that would break their hearts even more. So I ended up just being forced to tell the truth. Obviously my parents weren't happy to say the least, but I think what got me the most is when I realized how much I'd hurt them. They felt like they had failed me, like they should have seen signs, they were worried about what I might have done. They didn't even punish me, they were just like "let's move on".
I ended up going back to college for a shorter degree (under stricter surveillance from my parents), and have had a relatively successful professional career since.
I did however lose most of my friends. Having a secret life and needing to construct lies is hard and stressful, and I found they easiest way around that was to distance myself from people so I didn't have to talk (and lie) to them. During those two and a half years I pretty much pushed away all my friends, and didn't build any new relationships. Apart from the hurt I put on my parent's, that's my biggest regret.
What do you mean "They wouldn't accept that"?
If you're of college age, you're an adult. Your parents don't need to "accept it".
You live, you learn. I learned long ago to break news to people right away. Sucks but you take it on the chin, nonetheless.
@@thescourge6989 First off, I didn't have a job and was living at their place. I don't think they would have kicked me out, but they would certainly have expressed their disapproval (and would have been right to do so, I didn't have any good reason for not attending classes)
Welp. Lesson learned. But why, Styven, why????
😉
Sameish thing here...tho i crashed and bured second time with corona (without the lies)...at recovery stage now...depends on how ill manage 3 shift job with the studying
"Grab a drink, SEVER your connection with reality..."
Oh my god I died laughing
Me,too.
Me too!
🤣
Hahaha yes I got a kick out of this as well Scott has a great sense a humor!
This guy saw his brother lying helpless in a hospital, and taught to himself: "This is a pretty sweet gig, i should become an invalid."🤣
I hope you know Scott, that if your chose doing this more often, you could live and profit from it. You're gifted. You've got the thing. You're good at this. You're bringing something new to things that most of people think they really heard enough from. I'm happy to know you. You're a gem. One of a kind. Thank you.
Sadly there's a large amount of research that needs to go into each case that makes it difficult for it to release these quicker. Plus even if he did, it wouldn't be as good of quality as the ones that are more thoroughly researched.
You're overlooking Scott's talent. That is a powerful element.
@@borisindigo5593 There are plenty of true crime podcasters and UA-camrs who produce one to two thoughtful and thoroughly-researched episodes per week, many of whom have other full-time jobs. He's clearly not profiting much from this venture and if he put more time and effort into it, he could be.
@@sierraalexandra7630 One: Most of those podcasts don't go as in depth as Scott does. They do more of a brief overview and don't listen and read all the mediums of information available.
Two: Those that do generally have a team of multiple people behind them (Jim Can't Swim for example is actually a team of people who split the task of researching, script writing, video editing among themselves). Scott doesn't have that.
Scott has a tendency to investigate a case extremely thoroughly. It's one of his highlights and selling points. It's also why he's gotten so much attention from bigger Crime Focused youtube channels. But the downside is that the mediums that give information on cases are often interrogation and trial videos or press releases. And that's where the problem lies: Interrogation and Trial videos can last up to 7 hours on a good day (They're often longer). Press releases often hold a lot of irrelevant information that one has to sift through.
That's why I don't think Scott could speed up the videos he makes. I'm not saying Scott couldn't make money doing what he's doing. I'm just saying he can't release videos faster without sacrificing the quality of his work.
@@borisindigo5593 That's just nonsense. I know of multiple podcasts that are 1.5 hours long on average and go very in depth. Some of the people I listen to will read an entire book in a week's time to prepare for a case. Scott does great research but he's definitely not the only one... Lol
I have never seen someone work so hard at doing nothing. It's actually quite impressive. It looks exhausting.
I was thinking that too. If he had just put HALF of that effort into actually graduating, none of this would have happened in the first place!
Oh my god, I know. Imagine the stress of having to keep up all these lies. I’d much rather just actually go to Madison college and get a job.
That's what's so weird. This seems more tiring than a real job!
Haha "He created more work than a real job would be" 🤣😂🤣
The thing I love most about this show is that when Scott says at the start “I hope you’re doing well” I genuinely believe he hoped we are doing well
or he’s lie-caring!
And we sincerely hope he is doing well in return 😊
Shmeeda
Maybe maybe not but either way he knows we are not here for any reason... :-)

So many horror-award nominations with this one. Dude actually borrowed a Swiffer WetJet from his girlfriend's mother to clean up the crime scene and then RETURNED it to her.

Something interesting my sister told me once --
Your brain gets a very similar dopamine release from telling someone you are going to do something as it does from actually accomplishing that thing. When you describe how you're going to back to college next year, your brain enacts that out in a tiny way as if it happened and hits you with a little bit of the feeling. This can be enough for some people to get the satisfaction they need out of something without actually ever really having a plan to do it, and is a reason why some people think it's not a good idea to talk too much about everything you're going to do, but what you've done instead, if you want to mentally trick yourself into self-motivation because you'll only get that happy feeling by actually achieving a real change you can then discuss.
That was basically an offhand comment we talked about years ago, but I feel like it's not only interesting (and something I mostly forgot about over the years until just now), but also kind of applies a bit to this case. I don't know why I type the things I type sometimes, it just is what it is.
I thought about it recently (without knowing the science behind it), very interesting. It may give you relief (like when you lost an argument and then think that “ok, what if I would win it? It’s not really important so it’s better to stop worrying about it”). But it can be actually dangerous regarding something serious for people who tend to fantasize or lie about things, which can probably lead to a real delusion.
Explains why there’s so many bullshitters out there and why drug addict usually talk a lot of nonsense. Brings credence to the “Actions speak louder than words” adage
Wait… wife? Did you get married? I knew you guys were engaged but I did not know about your wedding! Congratulations Mr & Mrs. True Crime Loser!
I’ve been in the hospital the last month and a half, so I watched a lot of this trial. My mom and I gasped out loud during the prosecution’s opening statement when they revealed the lies. They started out presenting them as truth, because that’s what everyone believed. Then they pulled up the list again but started deleting each “fact” one by one. It was shocking. Very impressive opening statement. Watching Chandler’s brother’s testimony and Chandler’s now ex-girlfriend’s testimony were heartbreaking. They still all seem in shock.
Ps: home from the hospital now (after 5 open abdominal cavity surgeries) and recovering well. 😁
I’ve only seen the opening statement video you describe thus far, and this report from Scott now. Wasn’t that prosecutor great at how he did his opening!? I felt sick when he described Chandler burning certain body parts! I don’t want to get too graphic in comments but I’m sure you know what I’m referring to. I was imagining him sitting in front of the fireplace with the poker. 😱🤢 Really happy to hear you’re home from hospital and doing well. Yeay!!! 🥳
May God bless you with a quick and complete healing. Bendiciones. 💙🙏
Hope you feel better soon!
Oh wow! Sending lots of healing vibes ❤️🩹
Hope you feel better soon ❤️
I hope you get better soon! Good to know your Mom can be with you! 🙏
I managed at a college bookstore for a while, and someone from the registrar's office told me a story about a young man who faked college for four years. His parents were giving him money for housing and school (they did not live locally). But this kid was doing nothing.
When it came time for graduation, he signed up at the registrar's office to walk at graduation, and he was called in and told he was only a freshman, because he hadn't attended class for three years and that he would (in no WAY...SHAPE...OR FORM) be walking at graduation.
This kid then signed up to get a cap and gown at the bookstore, and his parents and other relatives FLEW from around the country to attend graduation. Things came to a head the morning of graduation, as he was not allowed to practice. His parents immediately tracked down the registrar and said that their son had been told he couldn't graduate because of some crazy story, and how could they fix it. The registrar had to tell them that the son was not graduating and had not been attending class for a few years. She said the look on the mom's face was memorable (a mix of rage and disappointment), and she immediately started hitting her son. They had to call the cops.
It sounded like he really thought he might be able to just sign up to graduate and walk at graduation. I can't imagine what transpired when grandma and the other relatives were rounded up.
Then came the famous "chancla" or how is it spelled ? ^^
( No I am not racist , but I know there are many cultures where Mom or grandma could apply for a professional football career with their ability to hit a target even long distance after throwing so many pieces of light footware at their kids for misbehaving)
I have read this from people of Asian and Latino descent as well as ones from the Phillipines all over to Africa - though there might be a different name for said thrown footware....
Please don't hit me , I was only making a lightheharted joke !
@@janedoex1398 definitely a chancla (Spanish for flip-flop), and I've seen them flying towards my direction as a kid😂 Thrown mostly by -but not only- moms. Grandmas also play a role in the chancla game. Why Stayven, why.
My brother had a friend that did something similar, it wasn’t quite as bad, as this guy had attended some college, but he was behind and not going to graduate on time. However, his mom was under the impression he was graduating on time and he literally didn’t tell her until the freaking day of graduation. Also, he got traffic tickets he ignored and they turned into warrants for his arrest around the same time. Just a big mess.
Man I can’t imagine the level of delusion and anxiety he must’ve been under. Like even if he somehow pulled off getting a cap and gown and joining the class at graduation, he had to know in the back of his mind that his name wouldn’t be listed in the graduation program and his name wouldn’t be called to walk and accept a diploma. Not exactly like your parents aren’t going to notice that
@@gethaunted Narcisism makes people believe they could get away with behaviours "normal" people -

After a year of college, I decided it just wasn't for me. I quit half way through the final semester. My parents pushed me to attend college since I was a child but I was never particularly interest in going. I was not truthful with them after quitting because I knew they would be disappointed or say I was making a mistake. So when they would ask how my classes were going or what I was studying I would say all is good and just lie to avoid the difficult conversation. I still lived with them at the time so I would leave the house during the week like I was still going to class as not to raise suspicion and just go shopping or hang out with friends. When it came time for the next semester to start, I came clean to them. My folks were more disappointed that I lied than making the decision to quit. In the end I know I made the right decision for me and I now have a successful career working a job that I enjoy. I said all of this to say that it was very stressful keeping that facade going and that was just for a short time. I can't imagine what it must be like to lie about you entire life to everyone you know.
I agree with your wife. There’s no way this just started with the college lie. Families like this tend to operate from a place of denial.
Casey Anthony infamously lied to her folks about why she couldn't walk at graduation, going to school, working . How do these parents never question about some damn proof! If it's over a couple hundred bucks in family even if I trust you I need to see it with my own eyes.
Oh, yeah. I guarantee you that old Chandler had been bullshitting his parents since he was old enough to lie. His older brother, Mitchell, was a normal kid who did graduate from college, worked, married and had a productive life. He’s clearly a narcissist.
@@erinc9391 there's a youtuber that did a more detailed 2-part video of the anthony case, and she implies the trouble about lying started with her parents.
@@erinc9391 The parents are almost always in denial. They perpetuate the behavior.
My family is like this and I did a similar fake college thing with my parents
Videogame addiction is similar to gambling addiction….both give the dopamine rush. But to take it to the level of neglecting life responsibilities is pathological.
I get my dopamine rush from shopping online. I do get common items I need. And some - not so much. 🙂
@@mariagabrielle6383 perhaps finding other hobbies you like could help?
My favorite part is when he goes into interrogation room and detective asks how he’s doing and chandler says “not good” and the cop is like “ good, good” haha
I saw the top comment so I wanted to share my story.
I also did something similar. After my second year of college I started to just not go to class and completely neglected my studies. I became so overwhelmingly behind I just gave up and lied about my progress. Instead of school I was working part time and playing video games with all my free time. I was lying to my family and friends about when I was going to graduate. It basically just came down to the fact that I wasn't even close to graduating and I had to tell my parents because they were expecting my graduation. I never once thought about killing my parents, but I did have suicidal thoughts at the time I will admit. But I decided that I needed to face my problems and push forward in life. I got a therapist to help with my mental problems and I started back at school. That was Spring of 2020 and I am currently in my last semester of college. I just need to pass my classes this semester and I am finally done.
If you are ever in this situation, seek help and be truthful as soon as possible. The amount of stress I went through daily is nothing compared to the stresses of going to class and studying. This led to me excessively drinking and eating nearly every day. I would wake up, go to work, come home, drink and play video games until I passed out. I was simultaneously destroying my physical and mental health. Just hearing Chandlers excuses reminds me of how I used to act similarly and I nearly had a panic attack. Watching this video and writing out this comment is simultaneously therapeutic and anxiety inducing. It is never worth the momentary bliss of delusion that everything is going to be alright. It will always come back to you at some point.
It's sad because now that I going to my classes I realized that it wouldn't have been that hard to put in even a little bit of effort and pass my classes. Not saying that they are all easy and I have had my fair share of stress. However the relief that I can be truthful every day about my life is something that really eases me when I remember my past self. I am still rebuilding the trust with my family, more specifically my parents. I pretty much felt like a failure(and to an extent I was) and I felt horrible about letting my parents down. They felt like it was their fault when in reality it was all my own doing. I really hurt my parents then and I will never do something like that to them ever again. When I graduate I think that is when everything will finally be smoothed over so I can move to the next phase in my life.
Moral of the story, honesty is important :)
Glad to see you're in a better place. Best wishes.
The next phase of your life. Either you will work for a wage that is about half of what is needed for a decent life, or maybe you will get lucky and earn $50k a year, maybe from a gov't job. If you get a good job, don't buy a new car. Try to live economically and save 50% of your income. If you get a low paying job, wonder what the hell going to school got for you.
@@mastermirror1972 I wish you the best. I know that it’s hard to break the habit when it’s already formed, even when you understand the consequences.
I’m so glad you never ended your life. If you think what you did hurt your parents…you can’t even begin to imagine what that would have done to them. Nothing you could ever do (except maybe what Chandler here did lol) could hurt them more than that. In order to be disappointed in the first place, they need to love you first. They were disappointed because they want the best for you. Their lives are contingent on your happiness. It may feel like a burden sometimes but it’s actually an amazing gift that not all of us are given.
In a way it sounds like it wasn’t a waste at all…you learned not only a lesson but a skill. Now, when things seem hard, you just think back to those times and it propels you forward! You’re able to think, heck, if I made it through that I can make it through anything. And you CAN.
Good on you for doing the right thing and turning things around. I also very much agree…seeing you walk down that isle and accept your diploma will most likely substantially improve the trust with your parents and it will absolutely restore the pride! Good job!!!
Thanks for sharing your story. I share many of your experiences as I’ve struggled with being honest to those closest to me for a lot of my life. It’s not rational, but once a lie takes hold, it can be hard to avoid a spiral. Thankfully violence has never once entered the equation for me, I always just told the truth when I was cornered. I have a great deal of regret and shame about certain times in my life, but honesty- total honesty- is what got me through my darkest hours.
Love to see his channel is really starting to blow up Scott is one of the greatest story tellers of all time
"Shame" is a dangerous thing. So many of these stories of people being ashamed of the truth coming out end in murder. This moron just needed to man up and take what he had coming and sit in shame.
I agree entirely
I think I remember JCS or someone similar saying that shame and embarrassment aren’t the same as guilt. Feeling guilty is an admission of what one has done and the perception is how one has affected others. However, shame comes more from a feeling of admonishment from others, keeping the perception of how one is treated rather than what caused the issue. Without self reflection, the issue doesn’t get resolved.
The problem is he can’t man up. He isn’t a man. Mentally or emotionally he’s stunted.
Correct
@@yarayugi7506 That was Dr. Todd Grande that made that explanation. JCS, TCL and Dr. Todd Grande all seem to share a large portion of their fan base. Not surprising since all three deal with analysis of crime and understanding criminal psychology.
Its so stupid they think murder is the solution. Don't they know during a murder investigation you have no privacy. All your secrets are going to become public knowledge.
Sounds like what Chandler really was missing in his life was a Bulgarian Cam girl~
He really needed to talk to Schmeada, THEN check his pictures!
Hahaha😂
I know right? He should have asked Grant DAmato for advice 😂
😂😂😂
You tell it so well! I once kept a lie going for 2 years, but in my defence, I was 12 years old. I had been at boarding school, but was so homesick that I left. I was then really school-phobic, and my grandparents (who I lived with) tried so hard to find a school that I could settle in. They bought me a new school uniform for every new school. Anyway, the authorities eventually found out that I hadn't been in education for a year, so I was forced to go to a school unit at a children's home. Only my grandparents knew, I have 3 siblings, and they didn't know. Every morning I'd wear one of the school uniforms, and my Grandpa would drive me to the unit, and I'd change into 'home' clothes in the car. I remember feeling so ashamed that this was happening, and the lying was really horrible. As I've grown I've become very open, and I try very hard not to judge anyone. Having said that, this bloke's a complete bastard! Thanks for your great channel.
Grandparents didn't do you any favors helping you like lucky the habit didn't stick or get worse
Having a fear of school is not a habit. And my grandparents were total heroes, who took 4 little kids in when our Mum died, they were in their 70's, and should have been enjoying retirement. Not their fault, they loved us unconditionally, and also not exactly my fault either!! I was very traumatised. Last thing, school is a miserable time for a lot of kids, especially boarding school. My childhood made me strong, empathic and able to stand up to bullies.
@@lallyjoel2536 lieing is the habit I was talking about fear isn't a habit it's a natural reaction and I never said your grandparents weren't great people but everyone makes mistakes and by having you continue to lie even if only to your younger siblings was just that and lucky it didn't bite them and make it easier for you to continue lieing I think they did an awesome thing giving up their retirement to raise their grandchildren
I misunderstood, sorry. They really were exceptional people, we were blessed. Tbh, I actually think trauma can make people not exactly lie, but hide their true feelings. Being in care was shameful 40 years ago. I trained as a social worker to undo some of the crappy practice experienced. Anyway, the person in this case was at the extremes of deceit, and very amoral.
At least you learned the right lesson in all of it. Some kids would have went the opposite way and made lying their lives.
The fact that you saw, even at such a young age, that that wasn’t the person you wanted to be, says a WHOLE lot.
I would also say it was more your grandparents fault. I have no doubt that they loved you and were just trying to do their best by you and protect you but most children wouldn’t stand up to them in a situation like that. They basically just told you what was going to happen and you went along with it. You were just a child. No shame should be had in that.
EDIT: I just read the other comments lol. Clearly they were just doing their best. Teaching children to lie is never a good thing but in the situation they probably just decided that it was the best of two evils. You were lucky to have them.
Sounds like we found Casey Anthony a man.
I shouldn't have laughed....
* Honestly, it all reminds me of the movie, "Housesitter".
Just wanted to say that I love this channel's vibe! I follow some other true crime youtube channels, and all of them are unique in their own way, but this one definitely has something inimitable. (I think it's Scott's sense of humour :D) Lots of love!
True crime loser inspired 😂
Definitely the fact that he’s a comedian. Normal people deal with deviant characters too coldly. We are quick to thrown in our opinions and judgement and our retelling of a crime focuses on the shocking and the angering pieces of facts. Scott still injects his judgement but he elevates the entire story like it’s a sketch, finding humor in the disturbing character flaws and reinforcing those elements. Norm Macdonald must be an influence for him because Norm told the darkest stories yet somehow never left you hating humanity or left in despair. Scott loves people, and even if he despises the criminals and the ugliness in the world, he finds an empathetic approach - hallmarks of true a comedian.
Also, speaking of other channels, can we have a moment of silence for JCS?
@@meganjones3427 I’m so so bummed about JCS! They lost millions and millions of followers!!!
@@mollycote1021 what happened? Did he quit his channel? He uploads so rare but I thought he was just too busy or something
Imagine what went through this fathers mind as his son killed him. His family loved him, supported him in every way, trusted his son, just to have his boy who he raised from a baby break his heart and then take his life.
Man, what a shame. Chandler has all the expertise and credentials to be an amazing politician. 5 years of pathological lying, he could’ve been a huge asset to the state.
He should have hooked up with Casey Anthony. They could have composed a fabricated life together. It is so bizarre.
He should have written novels!
Criminals running in politics, why stop at state level? Cant think of any reason not too
I am watching this trial, and it's great to see you covering it! I'm glad that I have just owned my failures throughout my life. People may think I'm a loser, but I haven't lived a lie.
In my humble and quite unimportant opinion, you living honestly and owning your failures means you cannot be considered a loser in any sense of the word. I’d much rather be a real/genuine failure (where there’s always a chance to turn things around) than a fake success (where there’s literally no upside, only down)!
I JUST learned, at 48, to think of anything you haven't succeeded at, as merely a learning lesson.. that f-word shouldn't be used to talk about your accomplishments 🙂
And whatever other people think about you, is none of your business!
Omg I just realized that I am a MOTH! Of course I have raised my kids, gone to real college, worked in the field that I went to college for, bought a house when I was 27 and then I became a moth lol. Let’s not forget that not only did he fake absolutely everything, he even got himself another cell phone and used that number on those fake emails so his dad could call him and he would disguise his voice and pretend he was whomever to fool his mom and dad. Can you picture that? His dad is in living room calling the admissions department at some college while he’s in his bedroom in the same house pretending to be that admissions counsellor lol. Mind boggling 🤪
Lmao this was funny. Underrated comment for sure!
He totally worked harder at not working than if he had a regular job and attended college. The planning and the manipulation that went into his scheme was unbelievable.
Right! I think he really enjoyed f 'ing with his father's head .
I agree with your wife. There is no way the lying started 3 years ago. He's had too much practice at deceiving people and getting away with it. This time, the lies got too big.
i must be lazy because i wouldnt have the energy to make up a crazy story of cluster F*ck BS from The Office.
I can understand the initial lie. I did it. I was an addict and flunked out after my first year of college. What I did though was clean myself up and get a job then find a career path to go back for and actually finish. It really wasn’t too hard and I’m far from the most dedicated person. When I finally came clean I felt so relieved and then I revealed to them I had enrolled and been accepted into my Occupational Therapy course
One of the best opening statements by the DA. I didn't know anything about the case except the murder and dismemberment of the parents. The DA builds him up with his his lies and knocks him down with all the truths. Unbelievable! What a monster!
A JCS and TCL colab is what 2022 needs.
JCS is done for good
@Adam Apple 🏴 The info I have is from the JCS Reddit page. From what they said, UA-cam keeps pulling their videos? Something about an ex working for UA-cam? Though that doesn't really explain why they closed out Patreon. This was last week's news, it seems to change a lot
JCS and TCL have already done a colab. Look at the outro of the Jussie Smollett video.
@@Leonicles I'm pretty sure the ex working for UA-cam was a joke lol
My college roommate, sophomore year 1st semester she took all the tuition money and spent it on all kinds of junk. She spent her days driving around spying on a guy she had a crush on. I remember she got a rabbit and it smelled really bad. I think it was sick. Her parents would call and she would say “tell them I’m not here” (this was in the early 90s). A couple of months went by. One day a knock on the door, I opened up the door to “where’s my daughter!?” My jaw dropped and I pointed to her room. They were in there for a couple of hours. Then they came out. The dad gave me $100 and told me to sell her furniture and they were gone. I didn’t see her for many years after that. I still don’t know why she did what she did. I suspect she had some sort of scholarship that maybe she lost due to grades. Back then school was super hard. No UA-cam etc to give you the answers! I think she didn’t have enough to pay for classes so she tried to hide the truth. ??? Not sure. That was crazy!
I wish I had a stalker like her.
What happened to the rabbit?
@@peggypeggy4137 oh I can’t remember. I know she had to give it away or something. It was so long ago. I just remember that it was very smelly and she always would open the doors to her room to air it out and my other roommate and I would close the door cause it stunk up the rest of the place. Good question though!
She probably was getting financial aid and used her financial aid package on all the BS like you mentioned, then financial aid won’t pay anymore if you don’t meet satisfactory academic practice. It’s almost funny her parents just said sell her stuff here’s $100 but they had to be devastated to have been being lied to as wel.
There's a great Don Knotts movie The Reluctant Astronaut where he moves away from home to take a job with NASA in Florida, ostensibly as an astronaut.. Turns out the job is as a janitor. Hijinks ensue when friends and family decide to visit. No murder though lol
i would honestly love to see a series about this case that starts at the beginning of the initial lie. just watching it get bigger and bigger and bigger until everything explodes would be amazing
Oh Scott, thank you for what you do. Long time Schmeda here, hugs to you all. I live near these murders.
Hello Schmeeda!
Madison Schmeeeda!
It's been a million years!
It would have been easier to get an engineering degree, join Elon Musk at Space X, and design the Mars lander.
Imagine if Chandler put the effort into doing something productive as he did into making stories!
He would have been a great novelist!
I know right?! It would have been easier to just get a job.
He was definitely a great grifter. When I was that age, I had to work to get through college. People who's parents pay for them, just don't realize how lucky they are. Spoilt lazy.
I imagine him as 45 years old, still living in his parents house, and chronically playing video games. It may have been what he really wanted.
Nice another upload!
Just in time to check my pictures!!
He actually created his own simulation to live in.
He's a Reality Simulator.
A very dangerous type of human being.
Fake it till you make it. Except murder, you have to do that for real.
He finally found his initiative. 🤦
cases like this and Jennifer Pan confound me. i grew up a lot like Jennifer, basically I had the same story except my lies stopped when i flunked out of college by losing my scholarship and had to face the music. my parents were harsh and i genuinely hated them at times growing up, but i never once thought about killing them. i just kept my head down and took my licks until i got the fuck up outta there and now I’ve gone no contact with them and am living my life! it’s that feeling of being stuck in a corner like a wild animal that makes people feel like there’s no way out but there ALWAYS IS.
Yea this really sounds like way more work than just actually going to college
Every time I see Spazzy Lazarus I always think of your unrivaled coverage 🤣. Hands down the best Stephanie Lazarus coverage in true crime PERIOD. Now I have to go check my pictures. Catch ya later!
How many kids in nightmarish situations would give anything to have parents like his were.
Thanks for covering this one, I was in Prairie Du Sac the week before he did this and ate at the diner across the river where Mom turned up. Makes me wonder if it was he and friends we saw swimming on the sandbar!
" Chandler is just in front of the light like a moth " lol you crack me up. Thanks for covering this, I'm watching the trial. This guy must be the most accomplished liar I've ever seen. Thankfully the truth is now known and he will face the consequences of his heinous crimes.
Dear Scott, thank you for another of your wonderful videos. You are a treasure.
I'm just staring blankly with dark circles under my eyes at the dull blue light of the true crime loser videos
I knew you couldn’t resist doing this one after I watched his interrogation. This dude is on another level. The dismemberment really puts him in a class of his own. He was so zombie like during his trial.
I can’t tell you how excited I was to see this video pop up yesterday. I’ve been glued to this trial as well. As always your coverage/take is fantastic. (As was your coverage of the Rittenhouse trial). I appreciate that you never seem to let emotion overtake fact to provide for some excellent non-biased takes on hot topic issues.
I just finished the video and it now has 1.5k views and 420 likes. The crazy thing is (not to brag!) I was the first to like, watch & comment the video, 15 secs after he posted! I'm so glad people are into this wonderful channel! You're a treasure, Scott Sharp! When you said "that will be all then," it was like you channeled Bart Holderson's sadness.
There are other cases like this where young guys killed their parent so they wouldn't find out they hadn't been attending college and were not graduating. One guy deceived his parents to the point that they took him and his brother out for a celebration dinner and bought him an expensive watch as a graduation gift.......he sitting eating dinner with them knowing a hit man (friend) he had hired was going to shoot them all when they got home from dinner. The father survived but his mother and younger brother were killed......
That is EXACTLY the case this reminded me of! Covered on Forensic Files and a lot of other shows. The dad actually has a relationship and supports his son. I mean, it's his only family he has left, I can't imagine what that would be like and wouldn't judge him for it.
@@pickles3128 I could never forgive it, and I'd be afraid if the son ever got out of [prison. I'd emigrate somewhere he could never find me. He doesn't deserve a family or a father. Some things are just unforgiveable.
HEY Juanita! Yes, I recall the case well!
I recall
He said he was going to law school.
I imagine it would be harder to do without the pandemic
All online education
He could sit and vidiot out all day saying he was studying.
I have to wonder how close anyone really is with their kids not to know something was very wrong here.
Jennifer Pan did this too
Had her parents slain to keep up her lies.
By the grace of God her father lived and outed her.
So awful.
I have two sons
Ones not getting on in life as well as the other.
We accept him as he is .
He is not lying.
He admitted that the older he’s gotten the harder it’s gotten to be happy with his life.
But also hard to make up for time he has lost.
He’s sweet and an artist and musician and he is honest that he has one class holding him back from his degree.
It’s not a huge deal as long as you’re honest and admit you are struggling.
I feel like Chandler always lied and got away with it and that’s not what helps a person.
I am not victim blaming at all
His parents had love and hope that one day he would find his niche.
The ego is a huge problem in these cases.
Instead of taking an entry level job and saying “ this is what I can do right now”
These freaks always make out that they are wealthy or sought out by a great employer!
It’s laziness, greed and ego all combined that makes them have this common problem of having to kill anyone who recognizes that they are simply unemployed and struggling to find their footing.
It’s not a reason to kill
And if they were that unhappy and unable to cope I wish they’d merkrd themselves vs the people who actually are trying hard to help them.
This guy said he was going to be disabled w a colostomy bag, and his faithful girlfriend stayed right by him.
He did not appreciate that people would still love him no matter his status or lack of employment.
They loved him and he betrayed everyone.
I feel his brother and girlfriend dodged a bullet.
Like in grant ammatto case where he also killed his great brother and tried to frame him.
Smdh
Jennifer Pan case was the same thing, except her parents had ALREADY found out
If you get the chance, watch the body cam footage of cops checking the cabin in the woods with Chandler’s brother. Chandler had told everyone that his parents had gone to their cabin by the lake with two mystery people he didn’t know. The police go up there with Chandler’s brother and his girlfriend, and within about 2 minutes it is glaringly clear that no one has been there for a long time. The grass is long and undisturbed, the cabin is locked up and the power is off, there is no sign that anyone is staying there or has been there recently. It’s really creepy watching the cops search through the empty cabin, dark and full of old family furniture and knick-knacks. And all the time Halderson knows his parents are dead and dismembered and this whole trip is a wild goosechase. His poor brother.
All the crazy details that I hear about this case makes me so wonder why no one backed up and started this story at the beginning. Especially since every update sounds like a Guy Joel Jr sequel. Until now. And thank god, because I don't know what's going on, please.
- after catching up, I can't believe the alleged dismembering is the least wild part of this case. Can't wait for pt 2 when we see how a pathological liar tries to cover up an impulsive crime.
I'm..I'm not here for any reason
The prosecutor is showing "like, 10,000" pictures.
I’ve watched every minute of the case. It’s fascinating. As you say I think it was impulsive and a panicked way to cover his fraudulent life. Joel guy jr is a totally different animal.
@@jnnlis oh for sure! I do think it's interesting that Joel Guy seemed to spend a lot more time planning and he still just sort of 'meh'd half way through the cover-up.
Jennifer pan did this too, she lied about going to school, her boyfriend and her job or volunteer (I forget). She hired a hitman to kill her parents and make it look like a robbery. Her father survived.
As embarrassing as it is for me to admit, I feel a lot of similarities to Chandler's story (minus the killing my parents part).
I went to college without having any idea of what I was doing, having to switch degrees because I couldn't handle the workload of my decided choice leaving high school. I had difficulty socializing with peers my age the way college students do, and that wasn't helped by the fact that I went to a big party school where everyone was ready to meet other people and hook up so easily while to me it felt very hard to do anything like the average college experience.
So I spent a lot of my time in college hiding away in my dorm room playing video games as well. I did go to parties that I could manage to get into, but I was pretty cringe and couldn't handle a lot of my social anxiety and depression I had at the time to be able to gel with the crowd.
Now I'm 25, realizing I have generalized anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder, post-college and hating life. I think many young guys are experiencing the exact same thing people like myself and Chandler are facing, I'd go so far as to say it's a modern day phenomenon the young male population of today faces. I have no idea why it is this way, or what factors play into this problem. All I can say is it makes life feel so demeaning and like there's no point to continuing on, no motivation to work or get a career, no ability to socialize or develop relationships, especially considering the past feels like such a failed attempt at life and carries such a heavy burden to move on from.
@@diann3880 Thanks for your reply. I do indeed get therapy twice a week as well as getting psychiatric help soon. I can't rewind the past but that doesn't mean I can't try having a better present and future.
I massively relate. Even with built in groups with common interests, I couldn’t help but always feel like I was living outside of the normal college world. My feelings of social inadequacy eventually led to me being unable to show my face in class and especially to a professor to get any additional help, so I failed pretty fast.
If you ever figure out how to get over the whole feeling like an alien who’s only able to at best poorly mimic human behavior, let me know, as multiple therapists and drugs have been unable to help me at all. I just want to belong damn it.
Video games seems to be the common denominator. Are u sure u werent depressed because u spent ur day in a dark room playing video games all day ?
@@Hifive91It was more of an effect than a cause for me, at least I think. Pretty sure the alcohol and amphetamine abuse had a more causal relationship with my struggles, although the negative emotions associated with my social anxiety also drove me to use those to cope. It’s a highly multifaceted web that leads to these things.
@@Hifive91 Sounds more like that'S the escape, which makes sense I guess. A lot of games have some kind of progession system with very clear rules, points awarded, etc. In a way, similar to real life but way less complex. The major difference is, empathic people with a problem like this come up with a solution or at least go through with the weird self-distraction from reality, they do not think about solving their own life by taking others' lives, let alone the ones who gave them theirs. This Halderson guy clearly didn't give a damn about anybody but himself. His parents were a utility to him, even his girlfriend seems like she is only in his life for status reasons, he clearly didn't let her in on anything.
Obviously, he is next-level self-centered, but a lot of people are at like 30-50% of his level, where all they care about is themselves, and I think everyone needs to learn how to identify people like that and when the red flags start showing, you need to keep testing them and when youre sure, just comletely drop them, cut them out of your life. Insanely important skill to hone.
Woah woah woah, you can't just drop a "wife" on us like that?? Congrats
This sounds a lot like the case where the guy cooked his mom's head in a pot. It also has many parallels with the Grant Amato case. Our society is truly circling the drain.
That guy is a monster, oh my god that was horrific. Joel something Jr. , can’t recall the full name
@@kari8187 You just said it: 'that GUY'. His name was Joel Guy Jr.

Trust nothing, verify everything.
I Love the " Scrambled Effect" On this Vid....just keeps us reminded how Scrambled Chazzledzl z brain really is🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You have to watch the rest of the trial and listen to his defense, which in my opinion, is comedic gold. The way she says "no thank you" in a sing song way, likes she rejecting a bag of pretzels on a WestJet flight every time the judge asks her if she wants to cross examine, is both a haunting reminder of what a shit job chandler did on his parents murder and yet, surprisingly hilarious
So chipper and cheerful! Definitely mid-west nice, that one. Lawyer you know made fun of it yesterday, he spliced them together. Hilarious! Plus in the middle of the state's closing arguments, when she is called a liar or something, suddenly she shouts: Now I'm going to object!! or something. Oh, now? In the middle of closing? It sounded as if she just woke up.
They were made for each other. "What they told me in law school is . . ." REALLY?
"He has to act like a dumbass with weak legs." That's amazing.
not defending the fella in any way, but if my friends asked me to hang w them at a thrift store, i’d also pretend to go to bed
Lol
you can find some cool shit at the thrift stores
Lmfao
You don't post enough! Thank you for this!
Scott I changed my name to SMEEDA LOL. That will ALWAYS BE MY EPISODE OF YOURS 😂
Your sarcasm is priceless! The crack about them taking all the cash and precious metal into the woods with some people they just met is comedy gold! Just found your channel and am loving it.
I had an issue with lying when I was a child and my mother made sure to put a stop to it right then and there. I learned that in lying to them I was lying to myself and got stuck in this place and time I could not escape. Lying forces you to remain chained to the past unable to move forward. Eventually, you spin your wheels and simply sink further into the lie.
i’m watching this trial and was looking forward to hearing Scott’s take on it! I don’t know what’s going on please. Love ya, Schmeedas.
You guys got married?!?! I love that!!!!! Sorry, yeah I know.. weird. But, I’ve always heard about your girlfriend in your videos, so when I just heard wife.. that’s awesome! Congratulations!
The fact that the work to keep up a lie is more work than actually DOING the work. Lmao, like...
This is the only channel I don’t watch at 2x speed
True Crime Loser is the best story teller on UA-cam
The faking of his own life was so extreme I started to think it would've taken equal or less effort to actually live that life. It certainly would've been more fulfilling and less stressful. It just goes to show how out of control lies can get
Watching and following this trial. I’ve been hoping and wishing you would cover this as only you can do!!
You rock, thanks!
I’ve been hoping Scott would narrate the crazy chandler murder case. Scott’s humor is such a blessing… but he also remains so respectable to the seriousness of the situation. Love this channel!
I actually did the exact same thing like 20 years ago minus the gruesome murder part.
I dropped a summer semester because I partied too much and couldn't pass a stats class. I never told my family.
I just told my Dad a couple years ago and paid him back. The joke was on me. He said they knew all along. I still can't shake the guilt and I graduated a long time ago. My family thinks it's hilarious now that they know I didn't turn out a psychopath in the long run. His parents probably knew more than they let on in the first place.
Wife???? Did I miss an episode ?? Congratulations 🤩🤩🤩🤩
THE SCHMEEDA FAM IS BACK FOR A NEW VID WOOO !!!
thanks for the vid as always Scott, I appreciate your content sm :,)
Wow, I'm not here for any reason, but what a story! Thanks Scott.
Your WIFE!?! Congratulations!! Did I miss a video where you quickly threw in a reference in regard to getting married? Was it when your BIL was staying at your place and you went upstate? We have a Mrs. Schmeeda!! Woo-hoo!!
Me and you were equally surprised. We both missed it, I guess. But congrats to the happy couple.
Without any visuals, I'm absolutely picturing Chandler Bing. I think its better this way.
The people are never as interesting as Scott describes so I never watch the trials or look up the people as I prefer the image Scott paints…. With all that, I also kept picturing Chandler Bing
it was a cool trial to watch though, one of the few that i watched the whole trial
Could this breeeee anymore of a double homicide?!?!?!!
You're the first person I think that should've gotten a degree in speech, your way of storytelling is unique and keeps me coming back to watch you.
i think i'm going to reinvent myself starting with weak legs.
We're not here for any reason, I noticed the "wife" reference! Congratulations!!! 💑
I've heard this story before, but now that I've heard it from you, I feel like I finally know the real story. Looking forward to part 2!
So happy youre talking about this! Reminds me of two cases put together.
I found your channel recently and I am so happy I did. I love listening to your stories. Every video you make truly feels like you’re one of my friends just telling me a story. I get bad panic attacks and since I’ve found you, you have truly helped me. When I start having a panic attack I put your videos on and just close my eyes and listen. Focusing on you and your stories literally makes my panic attacks go away. I grew up in Wyoming and you remind me of my friends back home. Your voice is so comforting and your story telling is so calming and personable. You are hilarious and I absolutely adore you! I’m so happy I found you and I hope you know you make a difference. Thank you so much Mr. Sharp! ♥️✌️
I actually appreciate how you put these peoples lives in a perspective that is helpful to people like me who might have some of same issues a kind of kick in the ass to wake up and change cause this is who you are,how people see you,and consequences that come with these issues if you know what I mean.
Honestly you’re such an amazing storyteller Scott, i get so immersed in every video you upload and I just have to say thanks for all the vids over the years! 🤙
The lies would have started from learned behaviour I would think. Most likely started as a young little boy. He probably started out with little lies that were just passed by or not dealt with. He then grew older and the lies got bigger. I do think the parents had to have some suspicions about what he was doing. The father did start to question his never getting paid from this new job he had.
Hey Scott! New subscriber here letting you know that my husband and I absolutely LOVE your sense of humor!! We will send a donation AFTER we get our carpet cleaned...it wouldn't need cleaning but for your hilarious comments on the spazzy Lazzy episode that found me spewing out a big mouthfuls of coffee everywhere...it's your fault and no one else's!! lol Keep up the great job!! you are a true Crime loser Rockstar!!! Sean's wife
Scott, this will probably become my new go to for answering questions I'd rather not respond to. Sorry, can't answer that ; "I now have weak legs". 🤣
My LEGS are weak, people! How can I do anything?? Lol
@@msbrightside181, laughed out loud! Love my Schmeeda fam.
Seems like a million years ago that I’ve seen you. Thank you Scott! 💜💯👍
This reminds me so much of the Jennifer Pan story. It feels so much better living in your truth being a failure then having to come up with devious plans and stress all your life to keep up with your lies
Chandler reminds me a bit of Grant Amato and his giant, bulbous head.
So glad to see your take on this case! Been watching trial anticipating your take!
Great video, thanks for the breakdown. I have been getting things really piece meal. What a crazy sociopath. The dismembering of his parents is what bothers me the most. Why did he feel that he had to do that? Who knows. Maybe the blue screen told him to do it.
Love the long video today, total Grant Amato vibes!! The insanity just kept going and going.
You have been missed
