How devastatingly heartbreaking! Those girls took her in, showed her unconditional love, acceptance, brought out the beauty in her...& that's how she showed her appreciation?!
I agree 100% - if that's what happened. I was triggered by something in this case and decided I wanted to know more - because it all really upset me! What I learned left me more upset - and confused. Would y'all do me a favour and read my stand alone comment? I'm troubled by some of the facts and really want another opinion. I'm not asking anyone to agree with me - in fact, I expect many will disagree. I'm counting on other opinions to help me sort this out in my head!! But I am asking people to be kind and be rational if/when they disagree. I think that's reasonable. Thanks in advance!!
@@theladyinblack3055 Hello dear. I did read your comment. I agree with you. But (!) never worry about opinions of others. Even if your opinion differs and no one agrees with you, still IT'S YOUR OPINION and it matters. Believe in yourself!
I have two daughters and I literally couldn't watch that. It's like it honestly hit my soul like I was in his shoes. From the second my first daughter was born my life has never been the same (in a good way). I can't even imagine what he was going through dear God.
For the dad to give all his life insurance money to his baby daughter, I thought it was strange until Mike said that her mom started to do drugs right after that happened makes me suspect he knew she had a drug problem and would waste all the life insurance money on it if it was given to her instead of his daughter. Too bad the apple didn't fall far from the tree.
@@immealldayeveryday9425 I can only think that perhaps the son was not actually his biological son. I am not suggesting that is right or wrong, but just that it might have been one reason he did that.
It’s not unusual at all, because a lot of parents and a lot of people in general presume that by the time they are going to be deceased, and have any beneficiaries to their estate that their spouse would be deceased as well, so they leave things to their child or children their estate that their spouse would be deceased as well, so they leave things to their child or children. After all if your beneficiary is dead and you don’t have a contingent it’s still has to go through probate. My kids are the beneficiary on our life. Insurance policy is not my husband he has enough money and vice versa and our children are minors, so if God forbid something happens to one of us before they reach legal age one of us is still going to be the custodian of that money until the children, reach legal age. There’s a lot of different reasons why that might be the case but there’s really nothing unusual about it. I can tell you that from having seen a lot of insurance policies in my day and a husband who is an attorney.
I’ve seen this story before but no matter how many times I see it, I’m brought to uncontrollable tears when I see the father arriving at the house and begging for his daughter. It breaks me
This is just heartbreaking for the family of the murdered. Those girls took her in, helped her when she needed it, but Christine became possessive. How betrayed and shocked the girls must have felt when she started shooting. My thoughts are with their families. The dad's response just shattered my heart.
I have the same kind of Alopecia Christine has. I haven't been bullied about it, so I can't understand her perception completely. But you would've thought she would have been protective over her friends considering how much love they showed her, this is heartbreaking.
You keep forgetting this was the 90's/early 2000's. Things change, things I was bullied for 10+ years ago when I was in high school... kids support and celebrate it now. In 10 years from now, the things gen z was bullied for will also be accepted and viewed with support.
she had been through a lot of loss, and never really got the support she needed to process all she had been through. attachment trauma can lead to unhealthily close bonding...which can explain how any feeling of perceived abandonment by these friends brought back all her worst fears & insecurities. paired with poor impulse control as shown by her struggle with addictions and possible other factors, she acted on her emotional response. it dosent justify what they did. it's truly tragic. i think mike's metaphor of a cornered rescue dog going for the throat is quite apt.
@@yunglynda1326 it's not excusable. A lot of people suffer from health issues, some much worse than hers, and lose just as many people as she did... (she clearly had some support if she was getting beautiful wigs and recieved a diagnosis. And her mother at least tried to make an effort to get better and be in her life). They don't decide to kill the next group of people that abandons them. She was emotionally stunted because she just couldn't accept the way her life was playing out, and innocent young women payed the price for it when they were nothing but kind to her.
@@yunglynda1326 -Since her bf (Chris) was likely insecure about her relationship with these girls, I wouldn't be surprised if he heightened Christine's insecurities thru verbal abuse. Maybe even enough to make her feel like killing them was her idea.
@@shadominx3696 I'm the same age as her. No one in my schools was bullied for issues like that for long. Our most popular girls in high school were actually surprisingly kind (they were popular for a genuine reason, not superficial), and they protected girls like that. We still had bullies and b*tches, but they got shut down pretty quickly (and occasionally violently; my best friend busted a bully's nose and got no formal repercussions because the 00's were great). Maybe my school was an anomaly. I do come from the northern midwest.
That poor father, his crying out for his daughter killed me. Any parent that looses a child has got to be one of the most horrific things to go threw. Hearing the anguish in his voice Lord I can not imagine
Yeah its devastating. Children losing their parents is very sad but thats how nature works. But parents losing children is awful. My mother lost my brother 17 years ago and she stills cries whenever we speak about it. So do I because I am the one who found his stiff body. But her pain is so much worse...
Its a hard situation. We all feel for the father and understand exactly where he's coming from but the police have a job to do and also legally cant allow anyone in an active crime scene unless they tell someone to. Everything in that taped off radius is under investigation.
I remember this case from an old school true crime show. My heart breaks for Rachel's dad when he tried to get to his daughter. And, he made sure they got justice.
It never changes: the lovely couple that plans and executes the crimes together always turn against each other when they get caught. Always. The love is strong enough to commit crimes together but never to go down without blaming each other. It is interesting too see that this kind of people actually don't love. They are just together and the bound between them is evil.
True. I think what they do in most (if not all) cases is tell them that the other one has turned on them and blamed them for the whole thing (even tho they haven’t yet). So they become enraged then actually do turn on them for real. Works like a charm, lol. But ya, if I was told my husband blamed me for a crime, I wouldn’t believe them. Clearly these perpetrators don’t have enough confidence in their relationships to believe the cops when they hear they’re loved one has turned on them. They always believe it right away lol
@@kayleigh3648 that's part of trauma, a lot of people are thinking every second that their significant other is about to leave them, at all times. It's a diagnostic criterion for certain disorders
@@no_peace you say it like it’s an excuse for murdering innocent people and turning on your partner. A lot of us went through trauma and haven’t gone on to kill people or become irrationally paranoid of our partner. Everyone’s different, yes. But there is still a baseline of sh*tty behavior and good behavior
Bonnie and Clyde would tell you different. Plenty of other couples, too. Watching crime stories that just happen to have people who turn on each other doesn't mean it happens frequently.
when I was a teenager I remember I always wanted to befriend and take care of outcasts, and I remember after someone was very cruel to me, my dad had to sit me down and have the discussion that sometimes, people are outcast for a reason. That if there's red flags, to not ignore them because I'm more interested in being kind than protecting myself. It's a hard but important lesson and difficult to balance.
Thats a good dad, thats what we are here for. I had to do the same with my oldest daughter. I love the caring beautiful souls like yall. I wish we could live in a world where yall wouldn't get hurt being yourselves.
I went to Clear lake High school as did my sisters. My little sister went to school with Marcus, Tiffany, Rachel and Christine. She said that Tiffany and Rachel were always together and always happy. To say this crime was shocking is an understatement. I still can't believe how Christine could go to work at Walgreens, after murdering her friends, and carry on as if nothing happened. Clear lake is also where Andrea Yates drowned her children. Rest In Paradise to the victims. Thanks for covering this story Mike! Although this story has been covered so many times by others, you tell it in a grand fashion! 🤌🤌
I've seen this story and what continues to anger me is how these two girls took her under their wings when she had no confidence or many friends. How dare she.
Exactly! And they weren’t phony about it and talking sh*t behind her back or anything like that. They genuinely had a soft spot for her and looked after her. She deserves to rot in prison!
@@robzilla730no excuse! I myself and many others have been through horrific stuff throughout childhood and guess what? We never killed our friends. Do you really need to make excuses for her doing what she did?
Can we all just real quick appreciate how Mike makes these vids so so interesting and always still respectful of those involved. 10/10 in my top 3 true crime channels xo
That’s your opinion and that’s totally fair, it’s nice to discuss other opinions because it helps you see a different mindset. I’m not trying to invalidate your opinion at any point, in case that’s how it comes across. I have very dark, dry humour myself and that can colour my own opinions sometimes
I remember this extremely sad story 💔 I’m glad they had a neighbor that saw Christine & Chris walking up to the house & was able to get a pretty good description of them ~
heehee Yeah, I think that sometimes you have to giggle at stuff like this when you do what he does, or research this kind of stuff like some of us do. If you don’t, you’ll lose your dagum mind. Plus, it’s easy to “wait… WHAT?!” investigators when we have both hindsight and quite a bit of time on them. (Not to mention the solved case is also available to us in this case, so of course it is evident that we can see that the photo is important and not just a random scrap in an otherwise also chaotic crime scene littered with other random scraps of stuff… how many other photos were there? Anyhoozydoozy… yeah… 🤷🏼♀️)
@Erin Gomez-Watters Same! But he's just so mf funny with his subtle sarcasm and little vids and memes lol. He has a fantastic sense of humor but he does it in a respectful manner/way....for instance ripping on the perpetrators, criminals, bad ppl in his vids. Never ever the victims or their friends and family. Never ever with a sensitive subject or issue that could possibly hurt or upset the victim and their loved ones in any way shape or form. They're his number one priority and coal point in his vids and he does such a good job of balancing out fact and fiction and the hard to hear truth and pain that comes w it sometimes with lighthearted commentary and sarcasm and good sense of humor but always being respectful and never coming even close to crossing any lines or making questionable jokes. He's Awesome! And I love how at rhe end of the vids he tells everyone he loves them and to be safe etc etc. So sweet!🥰
Rachel's father is the only parent I've seen speak about their grief as never gotten better over time. He goes on to say that it gets even worse. It's so heartbreaking and a rare honesty in my opinion.
There’s a lot of parents who feel this way. My grandmother said she would be crying for the rest of her life when my dad died. Having your child die is just something you’d never prepare for, because it’s not “supposed” to happen that way.
As a grandpa (... and therefor by extension well you know) gotta be a kick in the heart. If something happened to Molly.. I'd react the sane... I just kant imagine. I hope he had someone to lean on...
The scene with the father is heartbreaking. The police officer yelling at him was just uncalled for. I’m glad he took him to the side when he started crying but to face someone who knows their daughter is dead with the threat of jail is just wrong.
Yeah that was really harsh! I can understand that they wanted the crime scene untouched, but still! Could have just moved him to the side like the other guy did.
It seemed harsh, yes, but sometimes you have to be harsh to get through to people. I imagine once the father looked back on it he 100% understood why the officer was that way. One mistake in a crime scene can screw the entire thing up and they did what they had to to ensure it didn't get screwed up. It just unfortunately goes that way sometimes.
You women... the cop was ensuring the integrity of the crime scene. You can't just let a dude run in and ruin all the evidence. At that time finding out who did it is far more important than a man's feelings. Grow up.
You are the only person who I’ve seen cover this story who is willing and compassionate enough to tell the whole story about this case! Good on you man!
@@65cj55 I find it entertaining, so I watch.....but at the same time these are all stories about people sadly losing they're lives in one way or the other. I feel like he shows no compassion from the videos I've watched, pretty much makes jokes about most of the stories. I am only a minute into this one, so maybe he's different in this one, but this comment stood out to me, because the exact opposite of how I feel he tells the stories, this OP used the word compassionate lol. I've never seen him be like that. It's always told in a comedic way by him. Still I watch!
I remember seeing an interview with the police who arrested Christine and he said that her motel room was the most vile, filthy and disgusting mess he’d ever seen. Walls, bed, literally every surface was covered in sprays of blood from her syringes & shooting up.
I remember that too! It was another show, maybe A&E? They really showed the entire space that had blood everywhere, the walls, ceiling from them shooting up. 😵💫
I do feel for Christine’s rough start in life, but it’ll never excuse what she and Chris did. Rachel & Tiffany treated her so well & went out of their way to make Christine love herself and were genuine friends. Seeing the pain in how Rachel’s father spoke of his daughter in the Forensic Files episode about the murders is so heartbreaking
Some people have a different world view that all humans are monsters to them. This can happen if their experiences with people haven't been the best. Even if you try your best to befriend such people, your efforts will be wasted. Once such a person sees everybody as the enemy, you can't befriend them or show them love. They won't ever understand it because it will seem false to them. Are they wrong? Probably not, but still.
I work night shift at a level one trauma center… I see the worst of the worst. When I get home in the morning I always pop on one of your videos when I hop in the shower to decompress. (To the point where my husband is concerned that he hears an Irish man in the bathroom with me constantly 🤣🤣). As bad as it may sound It’s nice to be able to laugh at this kinda stuff and not just tuck it away. So thank you and keep up the posts so I don’t crack
Mike, I really appreciate your differentiated perspective on this case. Humans are complex, life events aren't simply black and white. It takes a great deal of mindfulness for one to balance the heavy baggage we all carry from infancy to adulthood. Loving friendships are just one aspect that carries us part of the way through that journey of life.
As a person with misophonia, I appreciate the lack of clicking sounds, and crunching sounds, and other unnecessary sound effects. This is one of the few YT crime channels I can watch because of the sounds. So, I sincerely appreciate you. 🙏
Also, the soundtrack. So many channels have the worst, cringiest STs...Mike, yours are always impeccably curated (and written?). The music--and the backgrounds--are brilliant.
@RJ B So true! There's another channel that I watch and that guy adds the WORST cracking and crunching and thumping noises - as if we need to hear what a bone breaking sounds like, or a person being hit with some heavy object! I've complained endlessly but to no avail, and it's so annoying. (Mike is the best! His sound effects add something, and often make me laugh!)
@@lillidaisyASMR Nope. I'm referring to every channel ever that uses unnecessary sound effects, eating sounds, and clicking sounds. You are correct that ASMR is a thing, and some people like that. When North of the Border does ASMR, I LOVE it! Or, also, the Hornet King's ASMR!??? YESSSSS!!!
I recently subscribed to your Patreon, I honestly don’t even watch the videos early but I’m just happy to support you! I can’t explain how relaxing these videos are for me, and what it means hearing you say ya love me at the end. Love you Mike, please never stop your videos! 🙏🏼💗
I’m the same. I’ve been a Patreon member for a year and I think I’ve been there once 😂 I just do it to support Mike because he does such an amazing job ❤️
@@Sarspariila $2 per month in English pounds. So it depends on where you are in the world and your exchange rate. The good news is because it’s such a small amount it’s very negligible.
I’m from San Antonio and remember when this case was solved. I can’t believe someone could do this to the people who took her in as a friend in high school. 💔
This story has always haunted me... I am close in age and had a similarly traumatic young life as Christine -but I had bad legs and LOTS of surgeries on them as my source of self esteem (and subsequent addiction) issues, instead of simply having no hair... And similar to her story-shortly after starting at a new high school (from being sent to live closer to where all of my surgeries had to be done), one of the extremely popular, beautiful girls, with a heart of gold just randomly started hunting me down at lunch(I was in a wheelchair, so I wasn’t very hard to find😆), she befriended me, socially protected me and took me under her wing. We’re closing in on our 40’s and are still extremely close friends to this day...and I can’t even begin to imagine ever hurting her!! There’s literally nothing she could do to me, that could EVER make me consider, let alone *DO* something as evil as what Christine did to her “friends”!! That can’t be blamed on drugs, that can’t be blamed on traumatic childhoods, that can’t be blamed on “emotional issues,” or “teen angst” and it can’t even be blamed on having a controlling/abusive partner... Those heinous actions could only be done, because something is fundamentally broken and irreparable inside Christine’s sick little head. She should never be released back into society.
I’ll never forget this case it was horrible what she did to her friends who were kind to her when other ppl wasn’t. Rachel tried to call 911 but she came back in and finished her. Betrayal was real.
Watching that dad breaking down trying to get into the house... I'm in tears now, Mike. I hope you're happy. 🥺 (In all seriousness, great coverage of this terrible case. You made Christine so sympathetic that I actually cringed at the Joker reference, then remembered... she's a fucking murderer.)
You are a remarkable storyteller. Your wit is quick and refreshing. I enjoy your whimsical humor when retelling the story. You have become my favorite UA-cam personality and channel. Keep it up.
I love you Mike! I ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR STORIES!!!! How very sad for all families involved. The Dad begging to see his daughter was heartbreaking! Brought tears to my eyes... being a parent myself. Thanks for a great story Mike!
I love that the black background is back. The additions look great by the way. I feel like the black is part of your brand. Also it's clean so I can focus on the cases you tell so awesomely. Love ya Mike
@@beevie4081 Of course, them too - I suppose I got a bit emotional when the video ended thinking about the clip of the father and how genuinely lovely these girls seem. It’s horrible that this happened to any of them, but also that two other people were caught up in it just for being there. There’s no sense in any of it. I hope all of their families have found some sort of peace.
…. and she shot….”in a rit of fealous jage”: Inspector Jacque Clouseau from the film “A Shot In the Dark”; I’ve always loved that line and simply could not resist. Thank you Mike, for another outstanding case presentation.

@@mollyk5557 I watch him because I like true crime and his personality. I don't actually laugh at his jokes most of the time. Not because he isn't funny, but because I'm so invested in the story he's telling. I ask again though, why are you here?
@@mollyk5557 I actually didn't. Not until he began describing it and then it came back to me. Even if I did, I cam watch it again just for Mike's perspective. You never answered my question, by the way, so you've pretty much proven my assumption that your an attention starved troll. Senpai isn't going to notice you, hon, no matter how much you try to bash hom and his fans, lol.
It's not that black & white. Everything is different. Around the world, good people do good things to humans all the time, that helps heal deep wounds in broken lives. This was absolutely tragic, devastating murders. It was a gruesome death for the victims, a lifelong loss for their families, regret and loss for people she knew, her younger brother are left more alone in the world. The poor souls loosing their life that day lost their whole future.
@@kiabellie4987 I was a pretty broken person at one point in my life, and at my worst, I hurt a lot of people. Not physically, or criminally, but definitely emotionally. Since I started to heal, I’ve stopped breaking other people. Whole people don’t hurt other people. It really is that simple.
You stated this inarguable truth perfectly. It’s so very sad but always true. That’s why it’s a vicious cycle. It’s tragedy from the start. And as a broken individual also, I speak from too much experience. The damage broken folks inflict doesn’t have to be the same as was visited upon us, but we damage nonetheless. Mainly ourselves but yes indeed others. Real life isn’t a Hallmark movie. But when you can get yourself out of the cycle, it’s a form of sanity & redemption.
@@danabana8121 Thank you. There is redemption. It is sometimes painful, but it is there.forgiving those who have hurt me I’ve found harder than forgiving myself for the pain I’ve caused.forgiving others is one of the things Jesus said we MUST do. It is so difficult. But I’ve caused so much harm. I need to be forgiven too. And only one person can do that. Yeshuah Ha’Meschiach.
Mike you tell the best stories, I wish there was enough court evidence and articles about my cousin Naushay Riley’s death so you could do a video. It was such a tragedy but I know you would tell her story well and true!! I am happy that other families get to have you tell their stories and honor the victims. Love ya!!!
This has long been an intriguing case to me... thank you for covering it! The way you tell the stories of these people, no one can match. I'm addicted to true crime - but even more addicted to the way you narrate! You ROCK, Mike!
Another excellent episode. You just get better and better Mike. I've been following you since 47k subs. Your old episodes from years ago are classic to watch. Great to see your evolution into a major UA-camr with a very loyal fanbase.
Thank you so much for bringing back the original set up with the opening music and the black void. 😊 The skulls and candles are an interesting touch. This feels like home again. 😁
I'm so grateful I don't have any children.. stories like this are a parents worst nightmare on all sides. God rest those angels and that my condolences to their families. Great job Mike. ❤️👍🏼😎💯
Gonna be honest with you here. I'd switched mental gears over to the long format style and was genuinely surprised when this ended so "quickly." I was hooked on your channel from the moment I watched your video on the missing 411...on my way to Redwood National Park... for the better part of a week. Instead of freaking me out, it sparked my sense of curiosity about the area. It was definitely an interesting trip. Keep up the good work.
Looking forward to your video on the University of Idaho murders. I attended U of I from 2007 to 2011, and lived in the community for over 10 years. It's such a beautiful place, but it's had more than its share of tragic shootings -- three I'm thinking of were solved right away, but this one went cold almost immediately. 💔
All she had to do was graduate and get a job and she would have had it made. That type of money can buy you a house and be invested to live a comfortable life. What a waste of a person.
I remember this case from the Snapped episode. One bit I remember from that show is that Christine how disgusting the motel room was and how she was faking her withdrawals from heroin. When a cop was in the room, she was shaking, crying and puking. When she was alone (on camera), she was just fine. A truly manipulative lying lunatic. Oh, and you can write her in prison! She’s on a pen pal prison site looking for love!
Wait, what? I mean they were both DEEP addicts which was obvious looking at that disgusting room.... only people in active addiction can live in those conditions without really seeing how bad it is, and I don't believe one of them could stay clean while the other used to that extent, so how could she NOT be in withdrawal? 😳 I'm not arguing with you, I believe you saw what you saw, but I'm very confused by that! It's pretty impossible to truly fake H withdrawal, the pupils of your eyes are the size of dinner plates, you're visibly sweating bullets (and smell like it too), you are covered in goosebumps from head to toe, your eyes water, your nose runs like crazy, you are writhing uncontrollably because it feels like you're coming out of your own skin, eeeeeeverything hurts like hell, I could go on and on! Did ALL of these things really just.... stop? Or was she just playing it up more while they were in the room? I wonder if it was just easier for her to dissociate a little while she was alone so she didn't feel it as much? I'm just so confused by this now 🤔
They had to transport her to the ER because She was on her period and bleeding everywhere and passing out from her withdrawals. she recieved methadone at the hospital then brought her back for questioning...she wasn't faking, doctors made statements in court that within a few months her body would shut down from the amount of drugs she was consiming.
@@lisaliza7009 I can personally 100 percent guarantee she was in withdrawals, what she was using , and how much..not saying she's innocent or anything but facts are still facts and she was in extreme withdrawals..when you see her smoking and talking in the interrogation she has already been given methadone at the hospital. I remember everything that night very clearly even this many years later.
Those lovely young women tried to help Christine, and it ended tragically for them. This is definitely a perfect example of the saying that "No good deed goes unpunished." RIP to the completely INNOCENT victims of this heinous crime.
@@pete6705 Her friends were older than her and stopped hanging out with her as much after they graduated and she was in school still, and they started partying with other people. This made her feel abandoned due to the abandonment trauma she had endured her entire life. They were at the same time trying to get her to leave "the one person who had always been there for her" and she probably told him that and together they concocted this "revenge plot."
♥️That Chapter! Thanks Mike for always delivering amazing content. You always have me in the edge of my seat with your stories. Much ♥️& all the best. Have a badass day everyone!
I've seen this case before but it never ceases to make me sad, what a horrible waste of life. We all need to have good friends like these girls. R.I.P to all 4 victims in this case 🕊🕊🕊🕊
I really don't get the jealousy; just speculating, they disliked that boyfriend of hers, so Christine and her pet thug weren't invited to any of the parties.
Thank you, Mike. I suggested you do this one years ago and it’s here now! I live in Clear lake and graduated at Clear Lake High school . My dad was a rocket scientist for NASA. These murders were a big deal for years with billboards in Houston. If you want to do an astronaut (almost) murder, look into Lisa Nowak. Lots of jealousy issues in Clear Lake. Something in the water here? Andrea Yates lived in Clear Lake as you recall.
What year did you graduate? I was '03. Yates was a crazy case, and so was the dentist who ran over her cheating dentist husband at the Hilton on Nasa Rd 1.
@@ottballday3460I’m an “old timer” and graduated in 1978 when CLHS was very new. My children graduated 2007, 2010 and 2012. My dad worked on the Apollo missions back in the early days of NASA. I almost mentioned the dentist one but remembered they actually lived in Friendswood although their office was in CLC. Did Mike ever do that dentist one on That Chapter? I know someone who worked with Andrea for years as a nurse. Andrea was messed up but her engineer husband was certainly no help.
Love you, Mike, and thanks for what you do. I use to watch cold case files back in the early 2000s, that's how I've learned about so many cases, you're the cold case files of UA-cam.
Glad to see the black back ground again... Not too much of a fan of the office thing. You are the star & that is all that's needed. Great story as usual. Thanks Mike!

How devastatingly heartbreaking! Those girls took her in, showed her unconditional love, acceptance, brought out the beauty in her...& that's how she showed her appreciation?!
Yes , this is the worst kind of evil. Those who repay kindness and care with violent murder. Psychopaths. No regard for others whatsoever, no empathy.

Seeing the dad beg “please” like he’s praying for a miracle while knowing his baby is gone is absolutely shattering my heart. 💔
💔💔
I'm thinking he didn't pray hard enough.
And then tell him he's going to jail if he goes in his own home. Sad.
Utterly heartbreaking 💔😭
the very worst part of the job is telling people their loved ones are no longer with us
Hearing that poor dad crying begging to please let him in to see his daughter hit me hard. That was so heartbreaking 💔
I have two daughters and I literally couldn't watch that. It's like it honestly hit my soul like I was in his shoes. From the second my first daughter was born my life has never been the same (in a good way). I can't even imagine what he was going through dear God.

That is no bad deed
For the dad to give all his life insurance money to his baby daughter, I thought it was strange until Mike said that her mom started to do drugs right after that happened makes me suspect he knew she had a drug problem and would waste all the life insurance money on it if it was given to her instead of his daughter.

They had 2 kids you would think he would leave it for both
@@immealldayeveryday9425 I can only think that perhaps the son was not actually his biological son. I am not suggesting that is right or wrong, but just that it might have been one reason he did that.
@@MissaPalityyoure right, and why would he provide for a son that is not his? Doesn’t make sense at all…
It’s not unusual at all, because a lot of parents and a lot of people in general presume that by the time they are going to be deceased, and have any beneficiaries to their estate that their spouse would be deceased as well, so they leave things to their child or children their estate that their spouse would be deceased as well, so they leave things to their child or children. After all if your beneficiary is dead and you don’t have a contingent it’s still has to go through probate. My kids are the beneficiary on our life. Insurance policy is not my husband he has enough money and vice versa and our children are minors, so if God forbid something happens to one of us before they reach legal age one of us is still going to be the custodian of that money until the children, reach legal age. There’s a lot of different reasons why that might be the case but there’s really nothing unusual about it. I can tell you that from having seen a lot of insurance policies in my day and a husband who is an attorney.
I’ve seen this story before but no matter how many times I see it, I’m brought to uncontrollable tears when I see the father arriving at the house and begging for his daughter. It breaks me

@@ericguidry9726 who's that? 👀 I would like to know 😯
This is just heartbreaking for the family of the murdered. Those girls took her in, helped her when she needed it, but Christine became possessive. How betrayed and shocked the girls must have felt when she started shooting. My thoughts are with their families. The dad's response just shattered my heart.
I have the same kind of Alopecia Christine has. I haven't been bullied about it, so I can't understand her perception completely. But you would've thought she would have been protective over her friends considering how much love they showed her, this is heartbreaking.
You keep forgetting this was the 90's/early 2000's. Things change, things I was bullied for 10+ years ago when I was in high school... kids support and celebrate it now. In 10 years from now, the things gen z was bullied for will also be accepted and viewed with support.
she had been through a lot of loss, and never really got the support she needed to process all she had been through. attachment trauma can lead to unhealthily close bonding...which can explain how any feeling of perceived abandonment by these friends brought back all her worst fears & insecurities. paired with poor impulse control as shown by her struggle with addictions and possible other factors, she acted on her emotional response. it dosent justify what they did. it's truly tragic. i think mike's metaphor of a cornered rescue dog going for the throat is quite apt.
@@yunglynda1326 it's not excusable. A lot of people suffer from health issues, some much worse than hers, and lose just as many people as she did... (she clearly had some support if she was getting beautiful wigs and recieved a diagnosis. And her mother at least tried to make an effort to get better and be in her life). They don't decide to kill the next group of people that abandons them. She was emotionally stunted because she just couldn't accept the way her life was playing out, and innocent young women payed the price for it when they were nothing but kind to her.
@@yunglynda1326 -Since her bf (Chris) was likely insecure about her relationship with these girls, I wouldn't be surprised if he heightened Christine's insecurities thru verbal abuse. Maybe even enough to make her feel like killing them was her idea.
@@shadominx3696 I'm the same age as her. No one in my schools was bullied for issues like that for long. Our most popular girls in high school were actually surprisingly kind (they were popular for a genuine reason, not superficial), and they protected girls like that. We still had bullies and b*tches, but they got shut down pretty quickly (and occasionally violently; my best friend busted a bully's nose and got no formal repercussions because the 00's were great).
Maybe my school was an anomaly. I do come from the northern midwest.
That poor father, his crying out for his daughter killed me. Any parent that looses a child has got to be one of the most horrific things to go threw. Hearing the anguish in his voice Lord I can not imagine
Me too! Although, he didn't *literally* kill me... not like Christina did his daughter.
Yeah its devastating. Children losing their parents is very sad but thats how nature works. But parents losing children is awful. My mother lost my brother 17 years ago and she stills cries whenever we speak about it. So do I because I am the one who found his stiff body. But her pain is so much worse...
Watching Rachel’s dad trying to get in was heartbreaking 💔. I can’t imagine. So senseless
If that were me, I would've been arrested.
Its a hard situation. We all feel for the father and understand exactly where he's coming from but the police have a job to do and also legally cant allow anyone in an active crime scene unless they tell someone to. Everything in that taped off radius is under investigation.
@@monstereng43 I get the logic, but as a father of two daughters, if I think my daughter is dead, there is no logic, only panic.
the first cop stopping him was a real arschole about it too, very uncaring.
@@fernfunk 100% agreed. Needless heartlessness.
I remember this case from an old school true crime show. My heart breaks for Rachel's dad when he tried to get to his daughter. And, he made sure they got justice.
Was it Forensic Files? That's where I know it from. One of my favorite crime shows.
Same ! On my end it aired on Forensic Files and I remember shedding a tear over how the dad was so devastated. So tragic and needless…😢
Love the decor!! And the musical back, yay!
That got me too. Damn.
I was gonna say I saw this on forensic files and never forgot the scene with the father
It never changes: the lovely couple that plans and executes the crimes together always turn against each other when they get caught. Always. The love is strong enough to commit crimes together but never to go down without blaming each other. It is interesting too see that this kind of people actually don't love. They are just together and the bound between them is evil.
True. I think what they do in most (if not all) cases is tell them that the other one has turned on them and blamed them for the whole thing (even tho they haven’t yet). So they become enraged then actually do turn on them for real. Works like a charm, lol.
But ya, if I was told my husband blamed me for a crime, I wouldn’t believe them. Clearly these perpetrators don’t have enough confidence in their relationships to believe the cops when they hear they’re loved one has turned on them. They always believe it right away lol
@@kayleigh3648 that's part of trauma, a lot of people are thinking every second that their significant other is about to leave them, at all times. It's a diagnostic criterion for certain disorders
Forever place for them.
@@no_peace you say it like it’s an excuse for murdering innocent people and turning on your partner. A lot of us went through trauma and haven’t gone on to kill people or become irrationally paranoid of our partner. Everyone’s different, yes. But there is still a baseline of sh*tty behavior and good behavior
Bonnie and Clyde would tell you different. Plenty of other couples, too. Watching crime stories that just happen to have people who turn on each other doesn't mean it happens frequently.
when I was a teenager I remember I always wanted to befriend and take care of outcasts, and I remember after someone was very cruel to me, my dad had to sit me down and have the discussion that sometimes, people are outcast for a reason. That if there's red flags, to not ignore them because I'm more interested in being kind than protecting myself. It's a hard but important lesson and difficult to balance.
Advice i wish i had known
Humans are horrendous creatures, you shouldn't try to be friends with anyone. All humans are horrid.
Thats a good dad, thats what we are here for. I had to do the same with my oldest daughter. I love the caring beautiful souls like yall. I wish we could live in a world where yall wouldn't get hurt being yourselves.

@MrFlutsh ok. Ill delete my response later. So many trolls on youtube, I forget to give the benefit of the doubt. Sorry about that.
I went to Clear lake High school as did my sisters. My little sister went to school with Marcus, Tiffany, Rachel and Christine. She said that Tiffany and Rachel were always together and always happy. To say this crime was shocking is an understatement. I still can't believe how Christine could go to work at Walgreens, after murdering her friends, and carry on as if nothing happened. Clear lake is also where Andrea Yates drowned her children. Rest In Paradise to the victims. Thanks for covering this story Mike! Although this story has been covered so many times by others, you tell it in a grand fashion! 🤌🤌
I grew up in Pearland, hi neighbor!
Married into a League City family, hello fellow Texans
I wonder if anyone's ever told Mike about the Texas killing fields right down the road
Something in the water.
I've seen this story and what continues to anger me is how these two girls took her under their wings when she had no confidence or many friends. How dare she.
Exactly! And they weren’t phony about it and talking sh*t behind her back or anything like that. They genuinely had a soft spot for her and looked after her. She deserves to rot in prison!

I’m not trying to invalidate your opinion at any point, in case that’s how it comes across. I have very dark, dry humour myself and that can colour my own opinions sometimes

I’m not sure exactly why but Mike’s reaction to the yearbook message had me in stitches. His comedic timing was perfect.

That’s why I love him he don’t hold back when it comes to the incompetence or lack of giving a shit with these investigators
heehee Yeah, I think that sometimes you have to giggle at stuff like this when you do what he does, or research this kind of stuff like some of us do. If you don’t, you’ll lose your dagum mind. Plus, it’s easy to “wait… WHAT?!” investigators when we have both hindsight and quite a bit of time on them. (Not to mention the solved case is also available to us in this case, so of course it is evident that we can see that the photo is important and not just a random scrap in an otherwise also chaotic crime scene littered with other random scraps of stuff… how many other photos were there? Anyhoozydoozy… yeah… 🤷🏼♀️)
@Erin Gomez-Watters Same! But he's just so mf funny with his subtle sarcasm and little vids and memes lol. He has a fantastic sense of humor but he does it in a respectful manner/way....for instance ripping on the perpetrators, criminals, bad ppl in his vids. Never ever the victims or their friends and family. Never ever with a sensitive subject or issue that could possibly hurt or upset the victim and their loved ones in any way shape or form. They're his number one priority and coal point in his vids and he does such a good job of balancing out fact and fiction and the hard to hear truth and pain that comes w it sometimes with lighthearted commentary and sarcasm and good sense of humor but always being respectful and never coming even close to crossing any lines or making questionable jokes. He's Awesome! And I love how at rhe end of the vids he tells everyone he loves them and to be safe etc etc. So sweet!🥰
Rachel's father is the only parent I've seen speak about their grief as never gotten better over time. He goes on to say that it gets even worse. It's so heartbreaking and a rare honesty in my opinion.
I've heard the same thing several time, but it's after watching hundreds of these videos. I think most parents just won't speak about it.
There’s a lot of parents who feel this way. My grandmother said she would be crying for the rest of her life when my dad died.
Having your child die is just something you’d never prepare for, because it’s not “supposed” to happen that way.
Same! That's bizzaro to me!!!!
The ones who don't show it are putting on the face for their family. I know
You have to lie to yourself in such situations, nothing you do will bring that person back. Just do things that the person would have appreciated.
Unexpectedly found myself in tears at the dad’s reaction
As a grandpa (... and therefor by extension well you know) gotta be a kick in the heart. If something happened to Molly.. I'd react the sane... I just kant imagine. I hope he had someone to lean on...
Me too 💔
Same! I don't even have kids
Hearing that poor fathers voice begging the officers at the crime scene… made me cry. Absolutely heart breaking. Praying for those families
He was very upset especially because she had run away from her father and during the time he was searching for her this happened.
The scene with the father is heartbreaking. The police officer yelling at him was just uncalled for. I’m glad he took him to the side when he started crying but to face someone who knows their daughter is dead with the threat of jail is just wrong.
Yeah that was really harsh! I can understand that they wanted the crime scene untouched, but still! Could have just moved him to the side like the other guy did.
It seemed harsh, yes, but sometimes you have to be harsh to get through to people. I imagine once the father looked back on it he 100% understood why the officer was that way. One mistake in a crime scene can screw the entire thing up and they did what they had to to ensure it didn't get screwed up. It just unfortunately goes that way sometimes.
You women... the cop was ensuring the integrity of the crime scene. You can't just let a dude run in and ruin all the evidence. At that time finding out who did it is far more important than a man's feelings. Grow up.

@@XxNoMinDxX Just saying, Mike does put a lot of his own perception into these Stories, he does assume a lot, he never used to..
@@65cj55 I find it entertaining, so I watch.....but at the same time these are all stories about people sadly losing they're lives in one way or the other. I feel like he shows no compassion from the videos I've watched, pretty much makes jokes about most of the stories. I am only a minute into this one, so maybe he's different in this one, but this comment stood out to me, because the exact opposite of how I feel he tells the stories, this OP used the word compassionate lol. I've never seen him be like that. It's always told in a comedic way by him. Still I watch!
I remember seeing an interview with the police who arrested Christine and he said that her motel room was the most vile, filthy and disgusting mess he’d ever seen.
Walls, bed, literally every surface was covered in sprays of blood from her syringes & shooting up.
😲😲
Yes. I heard the same. They said the smell was overwhelming.
How? Shooting up shouldn't get blood anywhere. Correctly done it won't even bleed. Blood on walls won't be from shooting up, maybe a sinus infection.
I remember that too! It was another show, maybe A&E? They really showed the entire space that had blood everywhere, the walls, ceiling from them shooting up. 😵💫
Yea I remember seeing that also. Thr was blood n trash everywhere!! So sad
I do feel for Christine’s rough start in life, but it’ll never excuse what she and Chris did. Rachel & Tiffany treated her so well & went out of their way to make Christine love herself and were genuine friends. Seeing the pain in how Rachel’s father spoke of his daughter in the Forensic Files episode about the murders is so heartbreaking
Some people have a different world view that all humans are monsters to them. This can happen if their experiences with people haven't been the best. Even if you try your best to befriend such people, your efforts will be wasted. Once such a person sees everybody as the enemy, you can't befriend them or show them love. They won't ever understand it because it will seem false to them. Are they wrong? Probably not, but still.
I work night shift at a level one trauma center… I see the worst of the worst. When I get home in the morning I always pop on one of your videos when I hop in the shower to decompress.

Mike, I really appreciate your differentiated perspective on this case. Humans are complex, life events aren't simply black and white. It takes a great deal of mindfulness for one to balance the heavy baggage we all carry from infancy to adulthood. Loving friendships are just one aspect that carries us part of the way through that journey of life.
As a person with misophonia, I appreciate the lack of clicking sounds, and crunching sounds, and other unnecessary sound effects.
This is one of the few YT crime channels I can watch because of the sounds.
So, I sincerely appreciate you. 🙏
Oh god it’s refreshing ing isn’t it. So many podcasts are unbearable with their moth sounds and interruptions etc etc
Also, the soundtrack. So many channels have the worst, cringiest STs...Mike, yours are always impeccably curated (and written?). The music--and the backgrounds--are brilliant.
@RJ B
So true! There's another channel that I watch and that guy adds the WORST cracking and crunching and thumping noises - as if we need to hear what a bone breaking sounds like, or a person being hit with some heavy object! I've complained endlessly but to no avail, and it's so annoying. (Mike is the best! His sound effects add something, and often make me laugh!)
I think you are referring to ASMR type of true crime which is totally different style of delivery than this regular story type telling.
@@lillidaisyASMR Nope. I'm referring to every channel ever that uses unnecessary sound effects, eating sounds, and clicking sounds.

I’m from San Antonio and remember when this case was solved. I can’t believe someone could do this to the people who took her in as a friend in high school. 💔
@John J A great verse for all
Around 8:56 Christine reminds me so much of the late Brittany Murphy for some odd reason. I know Mike sees The Joker...
This story has always haunted me...
I am close in age and had a similarly traumatic young life as Christine -but I had bad legs and LOTS of surgeries on them as my source of self esteem (and subsequent addiction) issues, instead of simply having no hair...
And similar to her story-shortly after starting at a new high school (from being sent to live closer to where all of my surgeries had to be done), one of the extremely popular, beautiful girls, with a heart of gold just randomly started hunting me down at lunch(I was in a wheelchair, so I wasn’t very hard to find😆), she befriended me, socially protected me and took me under her wing.
We’re closing in on our 40’s and are still extremely close friends to this day...and I can’t even begin to imagine ever hurting her!!
There’s literally nothing she could do to me, that could EVER make me consider, let alone *DO* something as evil as what Christine did to her “friends”!!
That can’t be blamed on drugs, that can’t be blamed on traumatic childhoods, that can’t be blamed on “emotional issues,” or “teen angst” and it can’t even be blamed on having a controlling/abusive partner...
Those heinous actions could only be done, because something is fundamentally broken and irreparable inside Christine’s sick little head.
She should never be released back into society.
Based!
Finally a good take on how, why and what should be done for people who do things like this!
That's exactly right, you can't blame that shit on drugs, trauma or anything else but jealous rage.
This absolutely happened because of her abusive relationship with Chris.
She was madly jealous of them and felt she could never have what they had.
What a shame these girls seems so nice.
Doggowar, you are very insightful and it's obvious you have done a lot of work on yourself! Kudos!
I’ll never forget this case it was horrible what she did to her friends who were kind to her when other ppl wasn’t. Rachel tried to call 911 but she came back in and finished her. Betrayal was real.
What good would it have done if she finished dialing? The dead people would have been found 4 hours earlier????So what??

It was a gruesome death for the victims, a lifelong loss for their families, regret and loss for people she knew, her younger brother are left more alone in the world. The poor souls loosing their life that day lost their whole future.
Like it or not this is true. Buyer beware.
@@kiabellie4987 I was a pretty broken person at one point in my life, and at my worst, I hurt a lot of people. Not physically, or criminally, but definitely emotionally. Since I started to heal, I’ve stopped breaking other people. Whole people don’t hurt other people. It really is that simple.
You stated this inarguable truth perfectly. It’s so very sad but always true. That’s why it’s a vicious cycle. It’s tragedy from the start. And as a broken individual also, I speak from too much experience. The damage broken folks inflict doesn’t have to be the same as was visited upon us, but we damage nonetheless. Mainly ourselves but yes indeed others. Real life isn’t a Hallmark movie. But when you can get yourself out of the cycle, it’s a form of sanity & redemption.

Goo!
Gonna be honest with you here. I'd switched mental gears over to the long format style and was genuinely surprised when this ended so "quickly." I was hooked on your channel from the moment I watched your video on the missing 411...on my way to Redwood National Park... for the better part of a week. Instead of freaking me out, it sparked my sense of curiosity about the area. It was definitely an interesting trip. Keep up the good work.
Hah Jesus christ.
I would been too paranoid man.
Imagine if something did happen.
And you weren't able to say so.
Lost and stuck on the otherside
@@dharmabum2838 possibly, but I would've had "an answer." Life gives you unexpected learning opportunities.
The women that murder someone in cold blood and then play the victim afterwards when caught is just despicable.
Mike always exhibits genuine pathos for the victims and tells it like it is. Well researched and deftly rendered.
I can’t get enough of your storytelling style; and your accent! Thank you for sharing! Hope all is well with you and your family ☺️
Love this background WAYYY more then the bookshelf/blue walls! So cool to see you going through the creative process of your channel!
Looking forward to your video on the University of Idaho murders. I attended U of I from 2007 to 2011, and lived in the community for over 10 years. It's such a beautiful place, but it's had more than its share of tragic shootings -- three I'm thinking of were solved right away, but this one went cold almost immediately. 💔
I'm looking forward to that one as well!!!
Thank you. You brought a smile to my day.
Reminds me of the Idaho one happening right now, heartbreaking. R.I.P 🖤
EXACTLY !!
Thank you so much for your hard work 😊
Thank you so much for watching!
You Mike, are an absolute treasure! Love every single episode! Can't believe how many more episodes there are!! Addicted! Well done to you!!
All she had to do was graduate and get a job and she would have had it made. That type of money can buy you a house and be invested to live a comfortable life. What a waste of a person.
I remember this case from the Snapped episode. One bit I remember from that show is that Christine how disgusting the motel room was and how she was faking her withdrawals from heroin. When a cop was in the room, she was shaking, crying and puking. When she was alone (on camera), she was just fine. A truly manipulative lying lunatic.
Oh, and you can write her in prison! She’s on a pen pal prison site looking for love!
Wait, what? I mean they were both DEEP addicts which was obvious looking at that disgusting room.... only people in active addiction can live in those conditions without really seeing how bad it is, and I don't believe one of them could stay clean while the other used to that extent, so how could she NOT be in withdrawal? 😳 I'm not arguing with you, I believe you saw what you saw, but I'm very confused by that! It's pretty impossible to truly fake H withdrawal, the pupils of your eyes are the size of dinner plates, you're visibly sweating bullets (and smell like it too), you are covered in goosebumps from head to toe, your eyes water, your nose runs like crazy, you are writhing uncontrollably because it feels like you're coming out of your own skin, eeeeeeverything hurts like hell, I could go on and on! Did ALL of these things really just.... stop? Or was she just playing it up more while they were in the room? I wonder if it was just easier for her to dissociate a little while she was alone so she didn't feel it as much? I'm just so confused by this now 🤔
They had to transport her to the ER because She was on her period and bleeding everywhere and passing out from her withdrawals. she recieved methadone at the hospital then brought her back for questioning...she wasn't faking, doctors made statements in court that within a few months her body would shut down from the amount of drugs she was consiming.
@@therealprophet7823 you can use drugs AND fake withdrawal
@@lisaliza7009 I can personally 100 percent guarantee she was in withdrawals, what she was using , and how much..not saying she's innocent or anything but facts are still facts and she was in extreme withdrawals..when you see her smoking and talking in the interrogation she has already been given methadone at the hospital. I remember everything that night very clearly even this many years later.
@@therealprophet7823 OK I will believe you :)
Those lovely young women tried to help Christine, and it ended tragically for them. This is definitely a perfect example of the saying that "No good deed goes unpunished." RIP to the completely INNOCENT victims of this heinous crime.
Pretty infuriating
I didn’t even understand the motive
@@pete6705 I didn't understand the motive either. What was she jealous of?
@@pete6705 Her friends were older than her and stopped hanging out with her as much after they graduated and she was in school still, and they started partying with other people. This made her feel abandoned due to the abandonment trauma she had endured her entire life. They were at the same time trying to get her to leave "the one person who had always been there for her" and she probably told him that and together they concocted this "revenge plot."
Never take a loser under ur wing. Ive helped plp like Christine and they just screw up repeatedly and cost you so much.
Thanks for the video, Mike! Amazing as always ❤ RIP to the very innocent victims in this awful case 😞
Yesss!! A new video!! Cannot get enough of your channel Mike!! Best story teller ever!!
I LOVE WATCHING YOU! Always a smile or a chuckle making me enjoy all you say.
♥️That Chapter! Thanks Mike for always delivering amazing content. You always have me in the edge of my seat with your stories. Much ♥️& all the best. Have a badass day everyone!
Thank you so much!
(on) "....the edge of my seat", not "in"
@@treylem3 I wish u could follow me around and highlight all my mistakes lol
@@cowoverthemoo Well, it was a small mistake, just simple English/grammar. You'll learn about stuff like that in high-school
@@treylem3 😆 😂 🤣 school
I first heard of this story in a Forensic Files episode. Its horrifying then, still horrifying now.
Also in Deadly Women
Rachel’s father ❤❤❤❤❤
…and combined with the bottle glasses she wore, she wasn’t swimming in confidence.” I love you
Thank you Mike for comparing Christine's photo to the Joker's, thought it was just me seeing that for some years now.
No good deed remains unpunished.
holy crap man 1.8M subs. congrats.
Hey Mike ! Thanks for another video never miss them .
Thanks!
I've seen this case before but it never ceases to make me sad, what a horrible waste of life.
We all need to have good friends like these girls.
R.I.P to all 4 victims in this case 🕊🕊🕊🕊
I really don't get the jealousy; just speculating, they disliked that boyfriend of hers, so Christine and her pet thug weren't invited to any of the parties.
Wow! I went looking for a new TC video, and I got one!! Thanks, Mike!
Perfect timing!
Thank you, Mike. I suggested you do this one years ago and it’s here now! I live in Clear lake and graduated at Clear Lake High school . My dad was a rocket scientist for NASA. These murders were a big deal for years with billboards in Houston.
If you want to do an astronaut (almost) murder, look into Lisa Nowak. Lots of jealousy issues in Clear Lake.
Something in the water here? Andrea Yates lived in Clear Lake as you recall.
Breathing all those heavy metals and rocket fuel, probably...
What year did you graduate? I was '03. Yates was a crazy case, and so was the dentist who ran over her cheating dentist husband at the Hilton on Nasa Rd 1.
@@cw6621 They don't launch rockets at Johnson Space Center.
@@ottballday3460 🙌🏾
@@ottballday3460I’m an “old timer” and graduated in 1978 when CLHS was very new. My children graduated 2007, 2010 and 2012. My dad worked on the Apollo missions back in the early days of NASA. I almost mentioned the dentist one but remembered they actually lived in Friendswood although their office was in CLC. Did Mike ever do that dentist one on That Chapter? I know someone who worked with Andrea for years as a nurse. Andrea was messed up but her engineer husband was certainly no help.
Stellar reporting, again.. the dad made me cry.. this entire crime was so senseless..
Thanks Mike! 😊 I always anticipate your videos!!!!
Thank you!
Good evening Mike! Hope you're well thank you for uploading this video and all the work you do to keep us occupied. Kind regards and take care!
Right on time! Thank you Mike for all the phenomenal work you put into your videos! You cover cases so beautifully.
Love you, Mike, and thanks for what you do. I use to watch cold case files back in the early 2000s, that's how I've learned about so many cases, you're the cold case files of UA-cam.
Been looking forward to this for the last week. Thanks Mike for giving us our fix 😀
Glad you’re here!
Glad to see the black back ground again... Not too much of a fan of the office thing. You are the star & that is all that's needed. Great story as usual. Thanks Mike!
