my theory is that the police officer was in love with Chris's girlfriend and was jealous so he killed him so that they could be together. That would explain why the police officers weren't doing a good job because they knew that he killed Chris and wanted to look out for their fellow police officer. Maybe the police officer put something in the girlfriend's drink so that when Chris got "kicked out" she wouldn't go after him and the police officer would take her home to make sure she didn't go looking for Chris so he could have the opportunity to kill Chris.
@@carolineboyden7580 You want to know what’s even sketchier? It was supposedly in his GF’s purse. Although they did say he walked to a different pub afterwards? Maybe trying to keep warm or find a ride? It’s just super shady that the guy she introduced him too is the one that kicked him out and then she stayed with that guy? And not only that she had his stuff and left him out there knowing he had no ride? Super shady
i wouldn’t even want to stay at the bar without my boyfriend... especially knowing he was alone without his wallet, phone, car, etc. i would be so worried!!
My theory is that Chris found out that his girlfriend was cheating on him with the police officer. This explains why he just walked out and his girlfriend didn’t follow him and why no one saw him getting kicked out. Chris might’ve said something about telling the officer’s wife and that prompted the officer to kill him to take care of that. That also explains why the police force did such a bad job investigating this case, maybe they were all looking out for their fellow officer. Them saying that they didn’t want to “ruin a family” was definitely sketch.
makes perfect sense. and that's why they wanted to make it seem like he was kicked out in the first place, so nobody will start to wonder, why he walked out.
I think that this theory has a good deal of merit but the way Chris was drugged, held captive and then introduced into the river sounds a lot more ritualistic when you see how many other cases match this profile, many of which are on the west coast as well s along the I-94 corridor.
Being a officer must be a blast, knowing your life has no consequences and even If you're an awful human, people will still have the utmost respect and admiration for you.
Not in modern day, being a cop is one of the most miserable positions a person can have, having to put your life on the line on a daily basis just to get spit on by the same people that come crying to you whenever they get in a bad situation. Out of all the jobs in the world a police officer is at the absolute end of the line, I'd rather work as a prison guard.
Listen I’ve been blackout drunk, and still managed to make sure me and my two girl friends got home SAFE. When one of us would get kicked out or would want to leave, we would leave TOGETHER. Something is sketch with the girlfriend and friends.
Tiny .Cloud read the whole comment. I did not say that he got kicked out, I said that when I’ve been black out drunk, and one of my friends have been kicked out OR wanted to leave; we did not leave anyone behind. That’s the part that I am upset about. Not that he may have left on his own but that he was left alone.
@@nightfox907 no i didnt ment to correct you :D i was just hinting that i guess he did not got kicked out, left by himself, therefore no one followed him. The GF/friends probably did not care about him enough.. sad (glad you have friends like this tho)
Tiny .Cloud I didn’t mean to sound rude by the way, I was half asleep when I wrote this! But yes I agree. I’m glad I have friends this way too....but it’s extremely sad that not everyone does
I'm sorry but this comment us just way out of line. We are not here to discuss how beautiful she is but rather become informed citizens and possibly help with these unsolved murders.
The cops are definitely covering this up. There's no way you can mess up a case this badly on accident. They were hiding that the cop and gf were together. I work with men, I would never borrow a shirt from one of the guys at work. I would borrow one from the guy I was sleeping with, who drove me home and flirted with me.
I love Mia. I have a border collie myself they are so funny and clever. Ours is so gentle he has brought in baby birds for me to save and the vets can do anything to him without a muzzle or sedation. Xxx
I feel like the police definitely had something to do with it, and the girlfriend to. The phrasing of ‘splitting up a family’ is so suggestive; if he hadn’t done anything and was presumed innocent then there would be no reason to imply they would split up. Maybe the girlfriend and the off duty police officer were having an affair and other men on the force and/or the bouncers knew this. Perhaps quite far fetched but maybe the girlfriend was sick of hiding it or being with Chris and arranged a hitman situation with the policeman, which would explain the corruption of evidence and basic mishandling of the case as a cover up. I feel like it’s hard justify or get away with that sort of police negligence in such obviously sketchy circumstances. It would also explain the kicking out of the club exchange with no one following him and the club then not allowing the bouncers to talk to anyone without legal advisors.
ooo you totally beat me to this comment. I thought it was the girlfriend right away when they mentioned how they found the body- arms crossed, shirt tucked in, ect. Being posed is a huge sign that the killer has some relation to the victim.
Oh yeah, like, In what universe would "hey babe, that person i gave a lift to? her BF is missing how wild is that, im going to go tell my coworkers -whos job it is to find him- about how drunk he was and maybe help locate him" be followed by "how dare you see someone who later went missing!? we're done!!" you have to do a lot more to 'split up a family', and if they think asking him more in depth questions about that night would do that, they know he did something that would get revealed.
Police discarding evidence without testing?! & not following up with the dogs picking up his scent in the car of the bouncer?! & they contaminated the hair in his hand?! WTF!!! They def we’re covering up for someone!!! He deserved so much better than this! Makes me so mad...ridiculous!!! I pray for this family!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sounds like his girlfriend was possibly cheating on him and the bouncer/cop guy that threw Chris out of the bar is the killer. Cops stick together regardless, and their refusal to even interview this guy Mike’s family just proves even more that they were covering for him. It’s sad how if you’re a cop and u kill someone, you’ll pretty much probably get away with it. Poor Chris will never get justice😞
Either the girlfriend is just a crappy person or she had something to do with it/knows something. If my husband was kicked out of a bar I wouldn't stay there chatting up the guy that got him kicked out and I damn sure wouldn't let him drive me home. I would have left with my husband even when he was just my boyfriend. You don't leave or spouse when they are "supposedly" so drunk that they get kick out of a bar. His friends also suck! I really feel for his family.
imagine your boyfriend getting wrongfully kicked out while he's drunk and you just not even going after him at all and going about your night like business as usual lmao wtf
my theory is that the police officer was in love with Chris's girlfriend and was jealous so he killed him so that they could be together.

So so weird that friends / gf didn’t see him get kicked out and that no one went out with him?! Doesn’t matter how much I’ve drunk - me and my friends always have an eye on one another! Also - so odd about the gf staying and chatting (flirting?) with the off duty cop...who kicked her bf out 😐 Police not following up on anything is sketchy - but having binge watched The Innocent Man on Netflix, I wouldn’t be surprised if they were in cahoots with the Murderers or serial killers or they have something over people on the police force Criminal justice system can be so shady and downright frustrating
I know right? Who wouldn't leave with their friend if they got kicked out? Even my roudiest most party animal friends keep an eye on each other if we go out in a group
What a shame the parents seem so lovely they must have been crushed 💔 I think it’s great how they got a private investigator it shows they cared the police I am honestly appauled
hi Bella! i'm from Poland and we had a couple of national mysteries as well, I think that some of them are great topics for your videos: Magdalena Żuk, a girl who went to Egypt and died there, I think this case still remains unsolved (she allegdly comitted suicide) Ewa Tylman, a girl who was found dead 6 months after she disappeared and Iwona Wieczorek, a girl who disappeared over 7 years ago and still hasn't been found I think these three were the loudest cases in Poland and I am honestly clueless as to what could've happen. it would be great to hear about them in your videos!
Girl in Egypt was drugged your never gonna act like that and it's been said she didn't have a mental illness and I hate to say this but it's not safe in other countries alone
Hi Bella, just wanted to comment and tell you how great of a job you're doing with your channel. I have watched too many of your videos to count and I am so impressed by the way you vividly describe and lay out and explain each case and mystery. I find all of your videos so intriguing and just wanted to remind you of what a great job you're doing! keep up the great work!
this reminded me of the series the mentalist (spoilers ahead !!!!) where there is a serial killer called red john who leaves a smiley face at crime scenes and who is later discovered to be a policeman who is part of an organization of corrupt policemen who cover each other for their crimes
Merry Christmas Bella! This series has been so amazing and I love it. Thank you so much for doing this, I appreciate your hardwork. You really put effort in your videos. I hope you have fantastic holidays and also relaxing. So excited to see what next year has to offer. Lots of love from Finland 🇫🇮🥰
I live in Minneapolis and the Hennepin ave bridge is a really busy street, you wouldn’t be able to park a car there let alone throw a body without not being seen
I noticed in alot of missing persons cases that start out as a fun night out they have one thing in common. And that is shitty friends. I will have another talk with my kids ages 12,15,17 & 18 about safety when out & about with friends. So far idk how I'm alive rn because I wasn't very careful in my teens about my where abouts. But I was a teen in the 90's in Hawaii🤷so a little safer times to be growing up. These days the world is just Savage smh. Sadly.
Dang, you have a lot of teenagers!! I'm glad you talk to them about the dangers because I also have noticed the thing with a bunch of these stories is friends not caring and staying behind. It is crazy and blows my mind!!!
Hey Bella, I was wondering if you could look into the case of Rhianna Barreau. She was a teen in SA during the nineties who went missing and still hasn't been found since. not ONE youtuber has done a video on it and it's not getting the recognition that it deserves. Its a weird, sketchy case and seeing as though you're a fellow Aussie youtuber with a large following i thought maybe you would be the best fit for getting information out there to finally come to a conclusion almost 30 years later. Thank you xxx
I think the girlfriend is involved. Maybe she and that police officer had an affair. They wanted to get rid of Chris so they killed him with the help of one of the bouncers.
you should talk about what happened to matthew shepard. his case is so important and tragic and awareness of how often hate crimes against the lgbt+ community needs to be spread !! love you so much bella
Thank you for the best 12 days of Christmas on UA-cam. The amount of effort you put into these videos are amazing and we love them. Merry Christmas to you and all your family xo
I originally followed you for makeup tutorials but I am obsessed with these mystery videos! I’ve enjoyed the 12 days of Christmas videos so much, especially during traveling for the holidays. I’ll miss having a new mystery video to look forward to every day!
man this is one of those cases that makes me feel like we’re so close to the answer - but there’s one thing messing things up, whether it be difficult circumstances or negligent police work ): thanks for the video and have a merry christmas, bella
The bouncer had to have been in on it... whether he was a part of smiley face gang or him and the cop decided on killing him, I found it really odd that chris’ scent was in his car... I don’t know what motive the cop would have besides him disliking Chris or maybe him just being violent.. they should have followed up on this bouncer but searching his house, I feel like they would’ve found a lot more evidence.
@@sophiag612 unfortunately the police officers in this case were very unhelpful so I find it unlikely if an officer helped them. since the basically chose not to
I think bouncer was a part of smiley face gang...because most of the victims were drunk and college students and its easier to find them in bars so maybe bouncer was involved in offering them lifts and then eventually killing them
the off duty police officer may have also known about the smiley face gang cases and Patrick's case so decided to place Chris how Patrick was found so the police will automatically connect his case to the gang and the officer will have no connection to the case
This case could have been solved with all the evidence. But apparently the police really fucked up or they were hiding something. This case is soooo frustrating
Bella, I could listen to you talk about anything all day long. You’re such a breath of fresh air, thanks for bringing these cases to light. You’re gorgeous!
I would love for you to cover the case of Ayla Reynolds. A toddler who went missing and presumed dead in Waterville, Maine. It was the 2nd largest missing childs case in the U.S. behind the Anthony case. I live 30 mins from where she went missing so it hits close to home 💜
The last theory is probably the most believable in my opinion. I think the police officer, the bouncer and some other local psychopaths had a gang of their own maybe it was the evil smiley face gang or not, I think they both had something to do with it. Maybe the police officer was just distracting the girlfriend while the bouncer did the dirty work.
thank you for this video. You're doing such a great job, I always look forward seeing next cases! There is one big case about Magdalna Żuk from Poland. She died in Egypt in very suspicious way. The whole story is heartbreaking and makes me wanna cry. A lot of shady things have been going on. Anyway, just a suggestion for another video.
If some guy i work with kicks my boyfriend out, i'm not spending the rest of the night drinking with the dude. I'm gone with my boyfriend that minute. This girl is just off. She was clearly not that into Chris. Poor young man.
Check Elodia Ghinescu's case from Romania. She disappeared in thin air 11 years ago and nobody heard from her again since. Please please pleaseee do a video about it bcs the whole case is so mysterious and interesting
Luisa Skr I’m from Romania and this case is really simmilar to ‘Gone Girl’. Would love to see someone talk about it, I definitely believe she is still alive somewhere!
I definitely think the bodyguard had something to do with it and the police officer sounds suspicious too. But, and I know this sounds crazy, but maybe the bodyguard/officer was a member of the smiley face gang? Like, instead of the two theories being separate maybe they're connected?? There's not a ton to back this up but the m.o of the smiley face gang supports that one of them (or a copycat?) killed Chris and the officer/bodyguard are really suspicious to me. This probably doesn't make sense but that's my theory (tl;dr- the officer or bodyguard (or both) are actually members of the smiley face gang (or copycats) and they killed Chris)
SO glad you mentioned the Smiley Face Gang. There have been many more deaths exactly like this in Wisconsin and Minnesota, all during the coldest months of the year: Popular college boys get wrongfully kicked out of bars, left alone, go missing for days/weeks, and turn up in bodies of water. The cops have ruled all of them accidental drownings, but the families and friends say the boys would never wander off into a river/lake, and that these deaths were the result of foul play (read: murder). Bouncers/cops are in cahoots over killing college boys, and for what?
Do you tell Kerri ( sorry if misspelled) about these cases? Like do you guys discuss them? Since you know so many details about these cases I just wonder if you guys discuss them.
I live in MN and have never heard of this!!! Edit: whoa!!! Before I got to the smiley face gang part, I was thinking it could be this because things like this have happened on Halloween night! I went to a college in Duluth and this happened near a creek as well on halloween
Please do a video on Junko Furuta, she was a 17 year old Japanese girl who lived back in the 80s. She was murdered & horrendously tortured by a group of teenage boys & honestly her case is the worst I’ve ever read. Not only was there never really justice for her, but it’s just so heartbreaking to read about & I feel more people need to hear her story!!
I have been watching this playlist on repeat hoping that there will be a new video soon! These videos help me fall asleep (don’t judge me). I love you and your videos Bella!!!
Omfg your earrings I NEED THEM. but fr it seems like a trend that people go missing after being kicked out of a bar/club and their friends not leaving too....be a good friend and never let a friend leave alone. ❤️
I want this series to keep goingggg. You always find cases I’ve never heard of (which is hard because I listen to true crime podcasts all day at work).
My theory: His girlfriend was in on the murder. I think that she was having an affair with the police officer. What are the odds that they ended up at the same bar as the police officer whose shirt she was wearing by chance. I think that she told the police officer which bar they were going to, and the time. The officer wanted the boyfriend gone so that he could have the girlfriend for himself. He asked the bouncer to help him execute the plan.
Just throwing it out there that Oxygen is doing a mini series on the Smiley Faced Killers this month! I first learned about them or at least the theory of them through your vids. So I’m pretty stoked to watch ❤️ Love your content you make my long commute to work so much more entertaining. So thanks girl & keep slaying!
There are literally dozens of cases just like this all across America! A college age guy goes missing after a night of drinking under suspicious circumstances and is then found in a body of water days to weeks later. Most of the cases they've ruled accidental drowning as the cause of death, even though there's been no water in their lungs. Edit: I guess I spoke too soon since Bella goes into this. 🤣
I am so beyond proud of you for all the hard work you've put into these murder mysteries video, it doesn't go un noticed and we all appreciate it so much, Merry Christmas Bella, lots of love!💗
Hi From London, UK... Just Subscribed, I'm Addicted To That Game Now Because Of You 😂 The Police Officer Done It I Can Be Sure Of That! Something Went Down And The Police Officer Did Something!
The girlfriend needs to be looked into, I would NEVER leave my boyfriend to fend for himself while he's drunk and alone, that is extremely sketchy.
also why wouldnt he be carrying his ID or wallet if he was going to a pub... bit weird
my theory is that the police officer was in love with Chris's girlfriend and was jealous so he killed him so that they could be together. That would explain why the police officers weren't doing a good job because they knew that he killed Chris and wanted to look out for their fellow police officer. Maybe the police officer put something in the girlfriend's drink so that when Chris got "kicked out" she wouldn't go after him and the police officer would take her home to make sure she didn't go looking for Chris so he could have the opportunity to kill Chris.
Exactly.....

Police cover-up is the only theory that explains everything. Not following up on the scent, not wanting to 'break up a family'. Very incriminating
I kno it's really sad I feel bad for how he died and his family not getting any answers
@Max Dalla Lana his body was put in the river months later
possibly kept his body too and then put it in the river
@ETN Max i think he died recently from when they found him as his body wasnt completely decomposing
yeah, i think it might have been the off duty police officer
His girlfriend and police were honestly so disgusting in this case. Definitely a police cover up
My theory is that Chris found out that his girlfriend was cheating on him with the police officer. This explains why he just walked out and his girlfriend didn’t follow him and why no one saw him getting kicked out.

hi Bella! i'm from Poland and we had a couple of national mysteries as well, I think that some of them are great topics for your videos:
Magdalena Żuk, a girl who went to Egypt and died there, I think this case still remains unsolved (she allegdly comitted suicide)
Ewa Tylman, a girl who was found dead 6 months after she disappeared
and Iwona Wieczorek, a girl who disappeared over 7 years ago and still hasn't been found
I think these three were the loudest cases in Poland and I am honestly clueless as to what could've happen. it would be great to hear about them in your videos!
ayyy im from poland too!
Btw i’ve already commented that under ur previous videos, but i’d really like u to see this ❤️
I've seen this comment before lol
Girl in Egypt was drugged your never gonna act like that and it's been said she didn't have a mental illness and I hate to say this but it's not safe in other countries alone
Omg I know about Magdalena zuk! So tragic. It’s creepy.

No you aren't and they are really cool. But I usually don't notice until I'm sifting the vid for pertinent facts of the case she's selected.
I live in Minnesota. There’s a reason why we call Minneapolis “Murderapolis” ...... so sketch
Maybe it's stupid, but what if the smiley face gang is a group of police officers. And they're just covering up for themselves.

this reminded me of the series the mentalist (spoilers ahead !!!!) where there is a serial killer called red john who leaves a smiley face at crime scenes and who is later discovered to be a policeman who is part of an organization of corrupt policemen who cover each other for their crimes
Oh man, these kind of “unsolved cases”, that are very obvious who’s the killer, and the police does nothing makes me so frustrated
Merry Christmas Bella! This series has been so amazing and I love it. Thank you so much for doing this, I appreciate your hardwork. You really put effort in your videos. I hope you have fantastic holidays and also relaxing. So excited to see what next year has to offer. Lots of love from Finland 🇫🇮🥰
I live in Minneapolis and the Hennepin ave bridge is a really busy street, you wouldn’t be able to park a car there let alone throw a body without not being seen
I noticed in alot of missing persons cases that start out as a fun night out they have one thing in common. And that is shitty friends. I will have another talk with my kids ages 12,15,17 & 18 about safety when out & about with friends. So far idk how I'm alive rn because I wasn't very careful in my teens about my where abouts. But I was a teen in the 90's in Hawaii🤷so a little safer times to be growing up. These days the world is just Savage smh. Sadly.
Dang, you have a lot of teenagers!! I'm glad you talk to them about the dangers because I also have noticed the thing with a bunch of these stories is friends not caring and staying behind. It is crazy and blows my mind!!!
bbyg the times were worse back then than now 😭
Hey Bella, I was wondering if you could look into the case of Rhianna Barreau. She was a teen in SA during the nineties who went missing and still hasn't been found since. not ONE youtuber has done a video on it and it's not getting the recognition that it deserves. Its a weird, sketchy case and seeing as though you're a fellow Aussie youtuber with a large following i thought maybe you would be the best fit for getting information out there to finally come to a conclusion almost 30 years later. Thank you xxx
I think the girlfriend is involved. Maybe she and that police officer had an affair. They wanted to get rid of Chris so they killed him with the help of one of the bouncers.
Yea I think so to it’s like the dalia dippolito case
this is so heartbreaking, 100% a cover up, it’s all soo sketchy.. the family needs justice.. 💔
it’s so frustrating when they aren’t solved and the police do a horrible job 😤 merry xmas bella and family ily❤️
you should talk about what happened to matthew shepard. his case is so important and tragic and awareness of how often hate crimes against the lgbt+ community needs to be spread !! love you so much bella
I liked because your dog asked me to.
He threatened to tell the cops wife so the cop had him killed
I believe so..
has this been confirmed
Thank you for the best 12 days of Christmas on UA-cam. The amount of effort you put into these videos are amazing and we love them. Merry Christmas to you and all your family xo
I originally followed you for makeup tutorials but I am obsessed with these mystery videos! I’ve enjoyed the 12 days of Christmas videos so much, especially during traveling for the holidays. I’ll miss having a new mystery video to look forward to every day!
man this is one of those cases that makes me feel like we’re so close to the answer - but there’s one thing messing things up, whether it be difficult circumstances or negligent police work ): thanks for the video and have a merry christmas, bella
Wait you’re telling me they never searched the river when Chris went missing in the first place??
E X A C T L Y
Was ice covered, a body would have been on top of the ice in plain sight.
@@patriciapasciuto9022 makes sense , but then finding the body and saying „oh he must’ve fallen in the river on accident“ is very sketchy
It was frozen solid
The bouncer had to have been in on it... whether he was a part of smiley face gang or him and the cop decided on killing him, I found it really odd that chris’ scent was in his car... I don’t know what motive the cop would have besides him disliking Chris or maybe him just being violent.. they should have followed up on this bouncer but searching his house, I feel like they would’ve found a lot more evidence.
Fergiiie i agree!!! I feel like this entire case just went so wrong. If they had a police officer helping them I think it would be solved
@@sophiag612 unfortunately the police officers in this case were very unhelpful so I find it unlikely if an officer helped them. since the basically chose not to
I think bouncer was a part of smiley face gang...because most of the victims were drunk and college students and its easier to find them in bars so maybe bouncer was involved in offering them lifts and then eventually killing them
"I'm forgetting English" relatable
the off duty police officer may have also known about the smiley face gang cases and Patrick's case so decided to place Chris how Patrick was found so the police will automatically connect his case to the gang and the officer will have no connection to the case
This case could have been solved with all the evidence. But apparently the police really fucked up or they were hiding something. This case is soooo frustrating
Thank you Bella for keeping these cases alive.It is so important that we never forget how cruel this world can be.
Bella, I could listen to you talk about anything all day long. You’re such a breath of fresh air, thanks for bringing these cases to light. You’re gorgeous!
I would love for you to cover the case of Ayla Reynolds. A toddler who went missing and presumed dead in Waterville, Maine. It was the 2nd largest missing childs case in the U.S. behind the Anthony case. I live 30 mins from where she went missing so it hits close to home 💜
Sara McGowan yes!! I have recommended this to so many people but I still haven’t seen a video about it. It’s so sad.
wtf when did that happen?? i live about
an hour outside of waterville!
ik this isn't the point but imagine people finding ur dead body in a Native American Costume
2002 was a different time 😅
frr the cultural appropriation yikes
@@nawtit7858 stfu
@@sydneylightkick2204 it is so...
@@starmatinog3405 approiate these nuts crybaby
The last theory is probably the most believable in my opinion. I think the police officer, the bouncer and some other local psychopaths had a gang of their own maybe it was the evil smiley face gang or not, I think they both had something to do with it. Maybe the police officer was just distracting the girlfriend while the bouncer did the dirty work.
thank you for this video. You're doing such a great job, I always look forward seeing next cases!
There is one big case about Magdalna Żuk from Poland. She died in Egypt in very suspicious way. The whole story is heartbreaking and makes me wanna cry. A lot of shady things have been going on. Anyway, just a suggestion for another video.
PLEASE DO CONSPIRACY VIDEOS SOON!
Yaaaas
Ŷêš
Plot Twist: the cop and bouncer are part of the smiley face gang
OMG
Definitely the cop
please do a video on jodi huisentruit, the news anchor.
seconded! that case is nuts
Please 🙏
Yessss!
PRIMA JO what is the case about? I’m curious
Yesssss I absolutely wish we knew what happened to her. So sad.
so heartbreaking for the family when the police act like this and put such little effort in💔
Ooooh a Minnesota case! That's where I live :) SIDENOTE: what a terrible girlfriend this guy had!
.
Minnesota?... uh terrible 😭
@@petersonmasoryde3163 what's terrible about Minnesota? It's amazing and beautiful here.
Same🙋🏼♀️😇
Sarah Schouveller fr its cold sometimes but i love it here lol
She does the best crime videos. Bella is so interested and cares it’s great. Love your hard work!!
I always get excited to see what earrings she’s wearing lol
If some guy i work with kicks my boyfriend out, i'm not spending the rest of the night drinking with the dude. I'm gone with my boyfriend that minute. This girl is just off. She was clearly not that into Chris. Poor young man.
Check Elodia Ghinescu's case from Romania. She disappeared in thin air 11 years ago and nobody heard from her again since. Please please pleaseee do a video about it bcs the whole case is so mysterious and interesting
Luisa Skr I’m from Romania and this case is really simmilar to ‘Gone Girl’. Would love to see someone talk about it, I definitely believe she is still alive somewhere!
Thought i m the only romanian around:))
Woah, can't believe this :))
Your accent is soooo pretty omg ufff😍😍I wish I was Australian😭
Okay side note: your quality lately is INSANE😍
I love how your dog is in the background listening to the case!😂❤
I definitely think the bodyguard had something to do with it and the police officer sounds suspicious too. But, and I know this sounds crazy, but maybe the bodyguard/officer was a member of the smiley face gang? Like, instead of the two theories being separate maybe they're connected?? There's not a ton to back this up but the m.o of the smiley face gang supports that one of them (or a copycat?) killed Chris and the officer/bodyguard are really suspicious to me. This probably doesn't make sense but that's my theory (tl;dr- the officer or bodyguard (or both) are actually members of the smiley face gang (or copycats) and they killed Chris)
or what If they knew the police or anyone would take it seriously if it was thought to be the smiley face gang so they set it up to look that way
SO glad you mentioned the Smiley Face Gang. There have been many more deaths exactly like this in Wisconsin and Minnesota, all during the coldest months of the year: Popular college boys get wrongfully kicked out of bars, left alone, go missing for days/weeks, and turn up in bodies of water. The cops have ruled all of them accidental drownings, but the families and friends say the boys would never wander off into a river/lake, and that these deaths were the result of foul play (read: murder). Bouncers/cops are in cahoots over killing college boys, and for what?
Really gonna miss all of this videos!! 😭
This is a prime example of why the buddy system is so important. If your friend is "kicked out," you go too.
Do you tell Kerri ( sorry if misspelled) about these cases? Like do you guys discuss them? Since you know so many details about these cases I just wonder if you guys discuss them.
You are so adorable! Your positivity is so contagious, even while discussing murder cases.
Happy holidays to you Bella
Merry Christmas🎄 to all ♡
Merry Christmas 🤶🎅🤶🎅🤶🎅
21:55 image of the maps red lines look like a smile... creepy.
I live in MN and have never heard of this!!!
Edit: whoa!!! Before I got to the smiley face gang part, I was thinking it could be this because things like this have happened on Halloween night! I went to a college in Duluth and this happened near a creek as well on halloween
Same here
sum body you’re right. it’s called the smiley face gang
They happen all over the media just rarely ever talks about it
Please do a video on Junko Furuta, she was a 17 year old Japanese girl who lived back in the 80s. She was murdered & horrendously tortured by a group of teenage boys & honestly her case is the worst I’ve ever read. Not only was there never really justice for her, but it’s just so heartbreaking to read about & I feel more people need to hear her story!!
I love the way she says “assumed”💀🥰
ashhuuuumed
That’s how we say it in Australia 🤣
It drives me crazy! Lol
I have been watching this playlist on repeat hoping that there will be a new video soon! These videos help me fall asleep (don’t judge me). I love you and your videos Bella!!!
why does june from the game look like monica from friends 😂
Meagan Reyes I just commented that and it’s scares me
Was about to say that
Meagan Reyes I've always thought this too!
same thing here 😄
I thought the same thing!
This quarantine got me looking at old videos
If i hear “the police did nothing” again I’m gonna lose my shit. But i love your videos. I binge them every day hehe 🤸🏻♂️
did they even find any water in his lungs? how could they rule this a drowning :(
“Which is another weason why I find that weird” Heheheh I love that so much 💕💕
Jordan Marshall haha, me too, I love that she left it in.
Omfg your earrings I NEED THEM. but fr it seems like a trend that people go missing after being kicked out of a bar/club and their friends not leaving too....be a good friend and never let a friend leave alone. ❤️
I’d be curious to know whether the police officer or the bouncer had blonde hair. Like the blonde hair he was holding onto. 🤔
I want this series to keep goingggg. You always find cases I’ve never heard of (which is hard because I listen to true crime podcasts all day at work).
My theory:
His girlfriend was in on the murder. I think that she was having an affair with the police officer. What are the odds that they ended up at the same bar as the police officer whose shirt she was wearing by chance. I think that she told the police officer which bar they were going to, and the time. The officer wanted the boyfriend gone so that he could have the girlfriend for himself. He asked the bouncer to help him execute the plan.
Just throwing it out there that Oxygen is doing a mini series on the Smiley Faced Killers this month! I first learned about them or at least the theory of them through your vids. So I’m pretty stoked to watch ❤️ Love your content you make my long commute to work so much more entertaining. So thanks girl & keep slaying!
There are literally dozens of cases just like this all across America! A college age guy goes missing after a night of drinking under suspicious circumstances and is then found in a body of water days to weeks later. Most of the cases they've ruled accidental drowning as the cause of death, even though there's been no water in their lungs.
Edit: I guess I spoke too soon since Bella goes into this. 🤣
you look so good!! also i could listen to your voice for hours, it’s so soothing and relaxing
I love these so muchhhh!!! Cant wait for Christmas either 😂🥰, I love to watch your videos and good luck in 2019 ♥️
I am so beyond proud of you for all the hard work you've put into these murder mysteries video, it doesn't go un noticed and we all appreciate it so much, Merry Christmas Bella, lots of love!💗
Hi From London, UK... Just Subscribed, I'm Addicted To That Game Now Because Of You 😂
The Police Officer Done It I Can Be Sure Of That! Something Went Down And The Police Officer Did Something!
I would love to see a conspiracy video on the smiley face gang because now I’m super intrigued. Happy Holidays Bella!
imagine being chris......that’s so scary and sad...who knows what happened and where he was kept or how scared he felt 😭 poor guy.
I'm from Minnesota and live a block away from the U and I have never heard of this case!! (Bella teaches me something new everyday)
Merry Christmas Bella!
This video has gone more into depth of his case than others!!! Lovin' your channel!!!!!!!!
This game is based on a show I watch!! 🙌 Miss Fisher’s Murder Mystery!
Love the show
Love the show
You are seriously glowing in this!
