Agreed. I am just glad that he got out and was compensated for it. I once heard of a case in which a person spent around 30-35 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit
Not to mention the absurd trial process he was forced to go through. He had already been deemed innocent, but somehow the prosecutors talked the state into believing the judge "hadn't done a great job explaining 'reasonable doubt,'" so they hauled him back in for another trial... just to have some spineless buffoon convict him of murder based on the fact that she felt he "didn't show enough eye contact?" Are you kidding me? What the hell is wrong with these absolute buffoons?
Goes to show that even the justice system is fallible when they're too lazy to do their jobs. Oh we heard ONE offhand comment about this guy? He's our perp! Open and shut case, Johnson.
Agreed. Sometimes I wonder how they even solved crime before DNA and cameras being literally everywhere. So many times I’ve seen the cops just give up if there’s no DNA match or just label all missing persons a “runaway” and go to brunch. Their methods and culture is baffling at best and criminally negligent at worst.
Ya gotta remember that cops are people just like everyone else. Incompetence and corruption is part of the deal unless you want to start using robots...... Sadly.
Kendra was in several of my university chemistry courses.

I happened to be May’s landlord right after she moved out of the pool house where her mother lived as she was arranging witness protection. She lived in a neighborhood and in conditions where she knew her mother would never venture. The argument about Benji’s will was that her jerk of a mother was going to exclude Mays children who Benji doted on. When I met her May was terrified, but also kind and understanding. She held no real malice toward her mother but knew what she was capable of and just wanted to get away from the situation while ensuring that Benjis wishes were respected. To me she described him as sometimes difficult, not perfect and a bit odd, but that he had grown to love and respect her and her children, something her own mother would never do.
Amazing, what a small world! Thanks so much for the added insight. As unwitting victims of her mother's greed & narcissism, I can't begin to imagine the torment May & her children suffered. Having to live with the fact that your own mother & uncle conspired to have you murdered would be devastating on levels that just can't be described. What a horrifying realization that must have been! The emotional/psychological weight of carrying such knowledge would be immense! In spite of the damage inflicted by her mother, I just hope she's been able to recover & move on; lead a productive, enriched & successful life; and provide a proper, nurturing environment in which to raise her children. Wish her all the best.
First, law enforcement frames an innocent man for murder because, once again, they're too damn incompetent to do their jobs correctly... and then, as if that weren't enough, some heartless, brainless, and spineless juror convicts him of killing a young girl because of "a lack of eye contact?" What the hell is wrong with these people?
I didn't want to believe the small town movie stereotypes, but damn it is true. Now that I'm living in one, I can see how and why. Everything spreads like wildfire. It only takes one person with some kind authority or respect to change the entire towns opinion. It's just a matter of days.

The Jessup case was so poorly handled from the jump. Such a travesty for so many. Especially an innocent man that lost a decade of his life, though compensated, that doesn’t change everything he went through. The fact he was deemed a “child killer” in prison & those inmates have it the worst - as they should - IF actually guilty.
Yeah, ever since the police were involved they were very careless, wouldn't let people know of kidnapping and police involvement because that would pose a threat to the child, but they never took it seriously
Yeah, I mean would you trade 10 years of your life for $1.25 million? I know I wouldn’t. Freedom is priceless, or at least it’s worth more than that 😂 Terribly sad that so many innocent people have been put behind bars. 😢
@@dpend not only about freedom, his experience behind the bar, physically, mentally, his r/ship with his family, time, dream... 1.25m is nothing compared to that
18:17 “the police first speculated that the young girl might have just wandered off…” I know this was the 80s but still? If a 9 year old “wanders off” maybe we should still find them????
Omg right! Even if they are a teen or shit even an adult! People don't just disappear! If the people who know them best say something is wrong and their loved one would not just run off and disappear than maybe the police should listen! So many case's may have turned out different had the authorities taken the family and friends seriously.
Must be nice having your first-degree murder charges downgraded to "interstate domestic violence" simply because law enforcement is too woefully incompetent to do their jobs properly on their own. "Let's just completely ignore the fact that we'll be unnecessarily putting the rest of society at risk by releasing cold-blooded murderers back onto the streets long before they should be released (if ever) for committing such heinous crimes."
I feel like taking money for murder at any time in your life should mean you’re closely watched forever no matter what, Because that woman is unlikely to end up in a situation where she could murder a millionaire husband again but he will very likely end up in a situation where he could accept money to murder a stranger. I’d say her crime was worse, but if we’re talking about public safety he’s the bigger threat
Unfortunately with police being way underfunded and understaffed and lawyers being the opposite well...... Oh and also the pay and being over worked. Yes I agree, some should be locked up and forgotten and she is one.

Trust me this shit isn’t going to help you in school don’t get me wrong the videos are excellent but please pick up a book and read if you want to get somewhere in your life
@@lamaarporter300 agreed. you cant just watch these videos and be a professional. theres so many variables in forensics you would need to go to school to learn it
I had to look it up. It's short for "Narcisa", the feminine form of "Narcissus", the name of a Greek mythological figure for whom the term "Narcissism" is named. So basically, yeah. Also, he had a nemesis - literally. The Goddess Nemesis cursed him with never being able to be loved by whomever he fell in love with.
Kendra was my good friend’s cousin, they even look a bit alike. Crazy that one of the crimes on your video deeply effected someone close to me! Thank you for covering it. Glad they caught Brenda, I have some words for her but the victim’s mother did a good job laying into her.
One thing I've noticed in all the interrogations I've watched is that hardly anyone ever asks for a lawyer! I've seen a few where guilty people probably could've walked if they would've stfu and asked for a lawyer. Guilty people seem to always talk their selves into cuffs. It makes no sense especially since they tell you "You have a RIGHT to remain silent, ANYTHING you say can and WILL be used against you!!" Guilty or not the police are not your friend or therapist.
It’s actually most often a vanity thing in violent crime cases like these. They like the attention and thrive off feeling smarter. However some r just scared and make a bad choice. And the cops use tht against them. As they warned them. Some r overwhelmed and some r just plain stupid. Just watch cop arrest videos. Theres more stupid ppl than you’d think in the world. I’d wager more stupid ppl exist than evil ppl even.
Both absolutely upsetting and mind-boggling that being "weird" is enough to convince investigators that they've got to be the perpetrator. This isn't even the first time I've heard of that being something that was hounded on to try and convict someone. People like that are just the bullies from high school that never grew out of that mindset. To any current police or police-to-be that could be here in the comments section, I hope you take this story to heart and do what you can to prevent this sort of thing during your time as part of the authorities.
I live in Ontario and remember this well. Guy Paul Morin was released and given a paltry 1 million from the Ontario government after spending years in jail known as a child killer. Really sad. Seems like a solid great guy, even Still.
I'll never understand why people sit in interrogations without an attorney. It's the single stupidest thing a person can do, whether they're innocent or guilty! Although it looks like Brenda did a good job.
1984…when being a young latchkey kid was really not ok. I think we all have near-miss stories and anxiety. Also “dude convicted for lack of eye contact” no. That needs to stop being a thing we judge people on.
@@Angel_1983 yeah I’m an adult with ADHD and find holding eye contact stressful at the best of times. So much ~weird~ stuff people claim makes someone appear guilty are just really common behaviours of neurodivergent and disabled people
I can either look at someone’s eyeballs, worrying if I’m doing it enough but not too much, or not too little, OR I can actually pay attention and hear what someone is saying by finding a focal point and fidgeting with my hands or something. I cannot do both. LOL
I have ASD and eye contact is more than just awkward and uncomfy for me, it’s an outright trauma thanks to a particularly awful teacher I had in my school days who would refuse to let anyone in the classroom and start class until I made eye contact and shook his hand for at least 7 seconds every single day. This did not help the fact I was bullied by every single person in the school (tiny private school, not big public school) and I was often in tears for a couple hours and would spend every waking moment in that day trying to scratch the sensation off my hand til I bled and even then kept going. Now, even as an adult, I go full fight or flight if anyone tries to make eye contact or physical contact with me in any way shape or form for any amount of time, usually flight. That typically takes the form of immediately leaving and locking myself in the nearest bathroom to have a 4 hour panic attack and permanently ghost the person. During the pandemic, I have fully leaned into agoraphobia and have only left the house for therapy and medical appointments for me and my cat for nearly 2 and half years now, and have, quire frankly, done even less than I did before the pandemic. Beyond all that, eye contact in court is actually suspicious behavior. Look at the current case between depp and heard. The abuser is making eye contact with everyone every chance she gets, the victim of her abuse is recalling genuine memories and trying to communicate them effectively. I mean, think of all the times in your life you have been telling a friend or family member about something crazy that happened to you. Where were your eyes? Not making eye contact, I can tell you that much. Now imagine trying to do that in a serious court case, it is suspicious as all get out to be making eye contact in those circumstances. People recalling and communicating memories aren’t going to be making eye contact, it’s not a natural thing for our bodies and brains. People reciting a set of lies and making things up, however, are likely to force eye contact. They will also have a set of lines that will be nearly verbatim every time they say them, and a set of details they cannot keep up with that they keep flip flopping on, as well as mismatched body language. People making eye contact in court, ESPECIALLY TO THE JURY, are displaying highly unnatural and extremely suspicious behavior. TL;DR a judge who bases a guilty verdict off a lack of eye contact should not be a judge, because that is a very basic thing that anybody in a courtroom worth anything knows that MAKING eye contact during a court hearing is the unnatural and suspect behavior.
My uncle lived next to Ben Novak in Florida...we would go there every summer to visit and my uncle had him over for dinner one summer during our visit...he showed me and my sister some of his batman stuff after dinner. I was so stoked! It was incredible!
I mean I know the guy in the third story was the one to pull the trigger and understandably he got sentenced to death. What I don’t get is why Brenda didn’t get the same sentence when she orchestrated the whole thing? She may as well had pulled the trigger herself.
Because they couldn’t have gotten her back to the States from Mexico if they gave her the death penalty. The video mentioned that. Avoiding the death sentence was the only way she could be tried for the murder at all.
@@TinaTimeMachinewill mexican authorities just not extradite an individual if they receive a death penalty? having trouble understanding why a death penalty even creates an issue. the cartel hands out death penalties in their streets all the time and they dont care 😭😭
Thanks EWU!! This is a great way to go through the morning routine. I had heard the Jessop case on other channels before, but I enjoyed your presentation and break down of it all. Great work as always!!
I hope you guys know that I appreciate all the hard work you put in to this channel. I can't imagine all of the emotions that you might feel researching all of this. Thank you so very much for all you do!🙏💖😇😍
Please do a story on Britannee Drexel's body finally be found! I'm from Myrtle Beach, SC. This was a huge story when she went missing on spring break back in 2009. Today it was announced that her body and killer have been identified.
I have seen several shows about the Ben and Narcy case but this was the first time I've heard the detail about his dad going bankrupt and him possibly being involved in his father's death! But this is always an example of how a fool with money will find the worse woman possible because he's usually looking at the T&A rather than for true love. I'm glad Mae was able to take her mother down. She was truly evil. Narcy HAD to be short for Narcissist
Been a fan of you guys for a bit. I don't usually watch true crime, but I love your videos because of how well spoken the narrator is. I also love how you don't glorify the events or the killers and instead get to the point and make educational points as well. You guys are doing a great job and I wish the best for this channel! 👍
@Rochelle Tierney Ehh not really. It's an interesting genre but it gets held down by the presentation most of the time, which is why I don't watch it much. These guys are unique in how they detail the cases while also not wasting time and moving on with the timeline of each case. If more true crime docs were like this, I would probably be more interested.
If you want to check out our channel we tell victims stories with respect and kindness. We are a new channel so it would be amazing for any advice even constructive critisism will help us improve 🙂
Jesus christ, imagine deciding someone was a murderer based purely on eye contact. And how on earth did clarifying reasonable doubt make a jury *less* likely to acquit?! I think Guy deserves way more than 1.something million for everything he went through. That's barely more than lost income.
THIS CHANNEL DESERVES TO HAVE A MILLION SUBS. ❤️ Well crafted videos and the tips about crime-prevention / psychos profiling is just the cherry on top. Well done, EWU Team. Oh the voice-over guy is PERFECT for the topics. Amazing job. Well done. 🙏🏻🍿
As a survivor of domestic abuse, I want to say a massive thank you for all your comments on red flags and also the numbers/links for those who need to reach out for help.
Bro imagine you the only Benjy on the planet to have the second largest Batman collection, and after you get clapped, all you have to show for it is a slanderous description about your life and subsequent clapping on UA-cam
The law enforcement knowingly accusing and arresting (innocent man) Guy Paul for murder and having multiple lawyers, forensic analysts and multiple law enforcement officers falsifying evidence and testimonies is absolutely disgusting. They should be sentenced to life in prison or worse. They are supposed to “serve and protect” the community. Absolutely disgusting and a true let down
Thank you for always explaining the red flags of each case covered. They may seem obvious to some, but they're important things everyone should look out for. You never know if that might save someone's life.
You are my fav! Best of the best! Seriously when I see u guys post another video I get so excited! Love your voice! Keep up the amazing work! You are appreciated!!!!!!!!
I always get skeptical of certain true crime videos. But I’ve been watching EWU crew for awhile because as someone who is about to graduate a masters in clinical psychology, I love how they use the analysis of other clinical psychologists. I love know what they’re talking about and how accurate the analyses of many of this perps are. I refuse to watch/ any other true crime videos because I feel like this channel is the most reliable.
That 1st story was a simple connect the dots BUT, the way the story was told made it an edge of your seat story with a mind boggling experience!! Well done!!👍🏼 You have a new fan-subscribed!!
There was a lot more to it especially the part about her daughter’s attempted murder but this gave all of the most relevant parts. So Narcy killed her mother in law, her husband, and tried to have her daughter killed. I think Hulu had a documentary about it. It painted Ben as a little eccentric seeing as he grew up in a hotel and he only had the kids of guests to play with every blue moon.
Dammit EWU 😂 currently got a pounding headache, was about to head to bed and you go and put out another awesome video. Just for you I'm staying up a touch longer plus The Raven's voice is a soothing end to the night. You're awesome EWU 😘

For the final case, this is exactly why you need to keep your social media private, so you can approve who follows you or become a friend, to avoid creeper stalkers. Only exception might be if you’re a celebrity with millions of followers and can profit from the platform.

“I have nothing to do with my husband’s death” 💀🤣 5:41 Not even halfway through this case and I have a feeling I know how it’s going to end.. probably my fault for listening/watching 8+ hours of true crime stories Monday-Friday 🙈😂

Serial killers don't only often blend into society, 99% of the cases we have knowledge about have serial killers being someone people would never suspect at first
No matter that I know a lot of these cases already, *EWU* always shines a fresh light on the case with new details I've not heard before. Absolutely *outstanding work as always.* Thanks EWU.
I deeply appreciate and respect the mini PSA about domestic abuse after the first story. Recognizing the signs early on and taking precautions before leaving are crucial. The reminder that both women and men can be responsible for domestic abuse was nice as well.
"Lack of eye contact" that Juror is awful. A lot of antisocial people do not make eye contact because they are just uncomfortable in unfamiliar surroundings.
I positively love how you delve into the psychological and analytical aspects of the crime. Every other channel I've come across so far doesn't do that. You are an absolute GEM.
It’s always such a wonder to me how people can convince others to help them kill someone. I get 2 psychopaths or whatever but seemingly normal people agreeing to go along to help boggles the mind. Do they think it’d be like some Hollywood movie? Where in the end nothing is real? How do you agree to help someone kill another person after only knowing them for 2 weeks!?! 🤔

@@dpend not only about freedom, his experience behind the bar, physically, mentally, his r/ship with his family, time, dream... 1.25m is nothing compared to that
@@dpend Maybe but not under the conditions of being if jail and labelled as a child killer. He must have been through hell.
18:17 “the police first speculated that the young girl might have just wandered off…” I know this was the 80s but still? If a 9 year old “wanders off” maybe we should still find them????
Omg right! Even if they are a teen or shit even an adult! People don't just disappear! If the people who know them best say something is wrong and their loved one would not just run off and disappear than maybe the police should listen! So many case's may have turned out different had the authorities taken the family and friends seriously.
Yeaah 😂 and then framed an innocent person they knew was innocent 😢
I cannot believe your channel is not even a year old! Seriously, you do a PHENOMENAL JOB 👏 🙌 👏
Must be nice having your first-degree murder charges downgraded to "interstate domestic violence" simply because law enforcement is too woefully incompetent to do their jobs properly on their own. "Let's just completely ignore the fact that we'll be unnecessarily putting the rest of society at risk by releasing cold-blooded murderers back onto the streets long before they should be released (if ever) for committing such heinous crimes."
Yh I just commented that's those two assassins are probably out of jail now and free ?????
I feel like taking money for murder at any time in your life should mean you’re closely watched forever no matter what, Because that woman is unlikely to end up in a situation where she could murder a millionaire husband again but he will very likely end up in a situation where he could accept money to murder a stranger. I’d say her crime was worse, but if we’re talking about public safety he’s the bigger threat
@@RubyBlueUwU wtf u talking about bra
Unfortunately with police being way underfunded and understaffed and lawyers being the opposite well...... Oh and also the pay and being over worked.
Yes I agree, some should be locked up and forgotten and she is one.

as someone who want to get in to forensics, this channel helps to educate me on some of the more interesting bits of criminal psychology. thanks a ton ewu, great video as always!
Trust me this shit isn’t going to help you in school don’t get me wrong the videos are excellent but please pick up a book and read if you want to get somewhere in your life
@@lamaarporter300 ok bud
Same FCSI is what my major is
@@lamaarporter300 agreed. you cant just watch these videos and be a professional. theres so many variables in forensics you would need to go to school to learn it
i do hope you can make it into forensics but be prepared cause its a hard thing to learn
Best narrator, straight to the point commentary. I love this channel!
Lmao, in the first case Benji's wife's name is Narci........short for narcissist?
I had to look it up. It's short for "Narcisa", the feminine form of "Narcissus", the name of a Greek mythological figure for whom the term "Narcissism" is named. So basically, yeah. Also, he had a nemesis - literally. The Goddess Nemesis cursed him with never being able to be loved by whomever he fell in love with.
You would wonder why Bernice's fractures weren't picked up in the original autopsy that's a big thing to miss.
Kendra was my good friend’s cousin, they even look a bit alike. Crazy that one of the crimes on your video deeply effected someone close to me! Thank you for covering it.
Glad they caught Brenda, I have some words for her but the victim’s mother did a good job laying into her.
Florida you never fail to miss an appearance on any crime show
Wow, just wow! Crystal knew Brenda for only 2 weeks and agreed to murder someone for her!? What a weak, pathetic group of people. Poor Kendra.
The work your doing, bringing truth and and reality close to our brains…. Bless you and your team 🙏🏽
3 videos in 3 days??? I feel so spoiled!! Thanks for the great content! You guys just keep getting better and better!!
One thing I've noticed in all the interrogations I've watched is that hardly anyone ever asks for a lawyer! I've seen a few where guilty people probably could've walked if they would've stfu and asked for a lawyer. Guilty people seem to always talk their selves into cuffs. It makes no sense especially since they tell you "You have a RIGHT to remain silent, ANYTHING you say can and WILL be used against you!!" Guilty or not the police are not your friend or therapist.
The interrogation ends if they ask for a lawyer so all the times they ask for a lawyer, there is no interrogation so no video.
Seems like you answered your own question. Guilty people that ask for a lawyer do not talk too much to investigators and walk out.
It’s actually most often a vanity thing in violent crime cases like these. They like the attention and thrive off feeling smarter. However some r just scared and make a bad choice. And the cops use tht against them. As they warned them. Some r overwhelmed and some r just plain stupid. Just watch cop arrest videos. Theres more stupid ppl than you’d think in the world. I’d wager more stupid ppl exist than evil ppl even.
Both absolutely upsetting and mind-boggling that being "weird" is enough to convince investigators that they've got to be the perpetrator. This isn't even the first time I've heard of that being something that was hounded on to try and convict someone. People like that are just the bullies from high school that never grew out of that mindset.
To any current police or police-to-be that could be here in the comments section, I hope you take this story to heart and do what you can to prevent this sort of thing during your time as part of the authorities.
I live in Ontario and remember this well.
Guy Paul Morin was released and given a paltry 1 million from the Ontario government after spending years in jail known as a child killer. Really sad. Seems like a solid great guy, even Still.
I'll never understand why people sit in interrogations without an attorney. It's the single stupidest thing a person can do, whether they're innocent or guilty! Although it looks like Brenda did a good job.
Narcissists can think they can talk their way out of chargers.
1984…when being a young latchkey kid was really not ok. I think we all have near-miss stories and anxiety. Also “dude convicted for lack of eye contact” no. That needs to stop being a thing we judge people on.
@@Angel_1983 yeah I’m an adult with ADHD and find holding eye contact stressful at the best of times. So much ~weird~ stuff people claim makes someone appear guilty are just really common behaviours of neurodivergent and disabled people
I can either look at someone’s eyeballs, worrying if I’m doing it enough but not too much, or not too little, OR I can actually pay attention and hear what someone is saying by finding a focal point and fidgeting with my hands or something. I cannot do both. LOL
I have ASD and eye contact is more than just awkward and uncomfy for me, it’s an outright trauma thanks to a particularly awful teacher I had in my school days who would refuse to let anyone in the classroom and start class until I made eye contact and shook his hand for at least 7 seconds every single day. This did not help the fact I was bullied by every single person in the school (tiny private school, not big public school) and I was often in tears for a couple hours and would spend every waking moment in that day trying to scratch the sensation off my hand til I bled and even then kept going.
Now, even as an adult, I go full fight or flight if anyone tries to make eye contact or physical contact with me in any way shape or form for any amount of time, usually flight. That typically takes the form of immediately leaving and locking myself in the nearest bathroom to have a 4 hour panic attack and permanently ghost the person.
During the pandemic, I have fully leaned into agoraphobia and have only left the house for therapy and medical appointments for me and my cat for nearly 2 and half years now, and have, quire frankly, done even less than I did before the pandemic.
Beyond all that, eye contact in court is actually suspicious behavior. Look at the current case between depp and heard. The abuser is making eye contact with everyone every chance she gets, the victim of her abuse is recalling genuine memories and trying to communicate them effectively.
I mean, think of all the times in your life you have been telling a friend or family member about something crazy that happened to you. Where were your eyes? Not making eye contact, I can tell you that much. Now imagine trying to do that in a serious court case, it is suspicious as all get out to be making eye contact in those circumstances.
People recalling and communicating memories aren’t going to be making eye contact, it’s not a natural thing for our bodies and brains.
People reciting a set of lies and making things up, however, are likely to force eye contact. They will also have a set of lines that will be nearly verbatim every time they say them, and a set of details they cannot keep up with that they keep flip flopping on, as well as mismatched body language.
People making eye contact in court, ESPECIALLY TO THE JURY, are displaying highly unnatural and extremely suspicious behavior.
TL;DR a judge who bases a guilty verdict off a lack of eye contact should not be a judge, because that is a very basic thing that anybody in a courtroom worth anything knows that MAKING eye contact during a court hearing is the unnatural and suspect behavior.
@@rinpaisys That sounds really horrible! I’m so sorry that happened to you. ❤️
innocent till proven guilty 😮💨
My uncle lived next to Ben Novak in Florida...we would go there every summer to visit and my uncle had him over for dinner one summer during our visit...he showed me and my sister some of his batman stuff after dinner. I was so stoked! It was incredible!
Me when I lie👿👿
I mean I know the guy in the third story was the one to pull the trigger and understandably he got sentenced to death. What I don’t get is why Brenda didn’t get the same sentence when she orchestrated the whole thing? She may as well had pulled the trigger herself.
Because they couldn’t have gotten her back to the States from Mexico if they gave her the death penalty. The video mentioned that. Avoiding the death sentence was the only way she could be tried for the murder at all.
Because she’s a woman
@@TinaTimeMachinewill mexican authorities just not extradite an individual if they receive a death penalty? having trouble understanding why a death penalty even creates an issue.
the cartel hands out death penalties in their streets all the time and they dont care 😭😭
@@weakest17yrold this is a legal case, not street violence. Capital punishment is banned in Mexico.
@ the cartel bit was sarcastic but thanks that answers my question
Thanks EWU!! This is a great way to go through the morning routine.
I had heard the Jessop case on other channels before, but I enjoyed your presentation and break down of it all. Great work as always!!
it says your comment was made 13 days ago. UA-cam is tripping again.
@@lefromage1853 right I’m here thinking I was trippin

Its likely because hes a member
@@lefromage1853 he joined the members subs 🙂🙂
I hope you guys know that I appreciate all the hard work you put in to this channel. I can't imagine all of the emotions that you might feel researching all of this. Thank you so very much for all you do!🙏💖😇😍
Please do a story on Britannee Drexel's body finally be found! I'm from Myrtle Beach, SC. This was a huge story when she went missing on spring break back in 2009. Today it was announced that her body and killer have been identified.
Recently discovered this channel outside of your main. Nobody out here doing it like The Raven 👏🏻
I have seen several shows about the Ben and Narcy case but this was the first time I've heard the detail about his dad going bankrupt and him possibly being involved in his father's death! But this is always an example of how a fool with money will find the worse woman possible because he's usually looking at the T&A rather than for true love. I'm glad Mae was able to take her mother down. She was truly evil. Narcy HAD to be short for Narcissist
Been a fan of you guys for a bit. I don't usually watch true crime, but I love your videos because of how well spoken the narrator is. I also love how you don't glorify the events or the killers and instead get to the point and make educational points as well. You guys are doing a great job and I wish the best for this channel! 👍
@Rochelle Tierney Ehh not really. It's an interesting genre but it gets held down by the presentation most of the time, which is why I don't watch it much. These guys are unique in how they detail the cases while also not wasting time and moving on with the timeline of each case. If more true crime docs were like this, I would probably be more interested.
If you want to check out our channel we tell victims stories with respect and kindness. We are a new channel so it would be amazing for any advice even constructive critisism will help us improve 🙂
Jesus christ, imagine deciding someone was a murderer based purely on eye contact. And how on earth did clarifying reasonable doubt make a jury *less* likely to acquit?! I think Guy deserves way more than 1.something million for everything he went through. That's barely more than lost income.
I have asbergers and eye contact has always been difficult for me. It's insane that that was enough
Someone named Narcy is a narcissist? That name is more apt than my dentist Dr Fill
Your timing is perfect. Nothing beats coming home from work on a rainy day, taking a hot shower, and snuggling in to watch some EWU 🥰
THIS CHANNEL DESERVES TO HAVE A MILLION SUBS. ❤️ Well crafted videos and the tips about crime-prevention / psychos profiling is just the cherry on top. Well done, EWU Team.
Oh the voice-over guy is PERFECT for the topics. Amazing job. Well done. 🙏🏻🍿
As a survivor of domestic abuse, I want to say a massive thank you for all your comments on red flags and also the numbers/links for those who need to reach out for help.
Lol of course you had domestic abuse its cuz u dated a black man I can see the mutt in your profile picture
It is extremely rare that I can suddenly burst into tears, but 20:03 absolutely broke me. I hope you find peace angel. I sincerely do.
Amazing how many of these stories go untold.....
OK but, did anybody else see the microscope clip where the lens hit the slide because they didn't lower the platform?
I’m sitting here waiting for Ben to be the bad guy because of the slanderous description and he ends up getting clapped.
Thanks now I don't need to watch
😂😂😂😂
Bro imagine you the only Benjy on the planet to have the second largest Batman collection, and after you get clapped, all you have to show for it is a slanderous description about your life and subsequent clapping on UA-cam
Thank You EWU for another awesome and twisted video! I absolutely love watching these kind of videos! It's so sad that we have evil all around us!
The Novak family seems like they got a lot of bad luck over the generations
The law enforcement knowingly accusing and arresting (innocent man) Guy Paul for murder and having multiple lawyers, forensic analysts and multiple law enforcement officers falsifying evidence and testimonies is absolutely disgusting. They should be sentenced to life in prison or worse. They are supposed to “serve and protect” the community. Absolutely disgusting and a true let down
These uploads come so quick man, great work from the team. The videos are always a pleasure to watch
Thank you for always explaining the red flags of each case covered. They may seem obvious to some, but they're important things everyone should look out for. You never know if that might save someone's life.
Shout out to Jose for not being bullied into silence.
You are my fav! Best of the best! Seriously when I see u guys post another video I get so excited! Love your voice! Keep up the amazing work! You are appreciated!!!!!!!!
2 videos from EWU in 1 day! Can’t get any better than that. 💜
This is the best channel on UA-cam. You can tell these guys put true effort into these videos.
You guys are amazing!!! I love everything you post! Thanks for the consistent high quality content!
I'm at school having lunch,so happy that I can spend my time watching this 😊💜
Love this. Definitely my favorite true crimer. Thanks for the hard work and attention to every single detail 🤘🏻
If you're getting out of an abusive relationship remember to: Document, Document, & Document. Trust me it'll save a lot of pain.
I always get skeptical of certain true crime videos. But I’ve been watching EWU crew for awhile because as someone who is about to graduate a masters in clinical psychology, I love how they use the analysis of other clinical psychologists. I love know what they’re talking about and how accurate the analyses of many of this perps are. I refuse to watch/ any other true crime videos because I feel like this channel is the most reliable.
I love it how CBS, 60 Minutes Australia, the BBC or whoever can use any words they want without muting, any images they want without demonetisation.
Okay, the second case really feels less like "a killer blending into society" more like police fucking up and not interviewing him.
That 1st story was a simple connect the dots BUT, the way the story was told made it an edge of your seat story with a mind boggling experience!! Well done!!👍🏼 You have a new fan-subscribed!!
There was a lot more to it especially the part about her daughter’s attempted murder but this gave all of the most relevant parts. So Narcy killed her mother in law, her husband, and tried to have her daughter killed. I think Hulu had a documentary about it. It painted Ben as a little eccentric seeing as he grew up in a hotel and he only had the kids of guests to play with every blue moon.
I was just listening to a podcast about the novack murders yesterday! I'd never heard of them before and today you post this.
Ah yes, beekeeping and playing the clarinet, the top two activities of dangerous murderers... 😂
We support you guys... Keep posting regularly... do whatever is necessary to sate the funding.. Just keep making videos
Dammit EWU 😂 currently got a pounding headache, was about to head to bed and you go and put out another awesome video. Just for you I'm staying up a touch longer plus The Raven's voice is a soothing end to the night.
You're awesome EWU 😘
Heck yeah! another 43min video! Thank you for all the hard work put into your content. It really shows. EWU is the gold standard for true crime! Keep Killing it... Umm, well you know what I mean lol
Lmao
For the final case, this is exactly why you need to keep your social media private, so you can approve who follows you or become a friend, to avoid creeper stalkers. Only exception might be if you’re a celebrity with millions of followers and can profit from the platform.
I live for your videos!! Got notified 4 minutes after posted!! Yayyy 😊
Thanks Ewu crew for another video, there are some good cases in this video. looking forward to seeing your next video.
Yes 🙌🏼 EWU!!!!! This definitely made my day!!!! I absolutely 😻 ur channels u guys do such an amazing job covering these difficult cases. Thank u for dropping this 💎 I’m definitely checking it out now! Keep up the great content I definitely get excited when my notifications go off and I see u guys uploaded. Lots of 🫶🏼 u guys are truly awesome!! 👏 👏
I agree they really do a great job and its hard work and they provide amazing vids everytime.
My God I love your channels so much! Thank you guys for all your hard work and top shelf content you truly are the very best channel ever made! ❤️❤️❤️

“I have nothing to do with my husband’s death” 💀🤣 5:41
Not even halfway through this case and I have a feeling I know how it’s going to end.. probably my fault for listening/watching 8+ hours of true crime stories Monday-Friday 🙈😂
Perfect timing! I was looking for something to listen to while working
I am addicted to your channel. Tyvm for sharing ❤.
The Jessop case was in my town. I was a very young child... I still think about it. I cried when it was solved. My sister was her age. Rip CJ
I was 12 living in Newmarket and remember it very well too
What is up!! Dominating!! Love you guys. I am living in Germany, moved to the area during the pandemic, and have to telework off and on due to someone in the office getting COVID. Thanks for keeping me company, it really helps. You guys rock!! Mad love.
Go back to America
Serial killers don't only often blend into society, 99% of the cases we have knowledge about have serial killers being someone people would never suspect at first
No matter that I know a lot of these cases already, *EWU* always shines a fresh light on the case with new details I've not heard before. Absolutely *outstanding work as always.* Thanks EWU.
Anyone else find it funny her name was narcy and was a narcissist
love your videos thank you for taking time out of your days to research and make these ❤️
Just wanting to thank Mr Narrator! So good and your voice is one of the reasons I love these videos so much! Keep up the awesome work!!
Yay! A new episode! This definitely made my night. Best true crime channel out there.
Someone decided he was guilty because he didn't make eye contact?? Imagine being sentenced to prison because someone's personal opinion about you.
I deeply appreciate and respect the mini PSA about domestic abuse after the first story. Recognizing the signs early on and taking precautions before leaving are crucial. The reminder that both women and men can be responsible for domestic abuse was nice as well.
yeahhhh and i just finished part 9 thanks a lot for the great work!!!!!!!!!
"Lack of eye contact" that Juror is awful. A lot of antisocial people do not make eye contact because they are just uncomfortable in unfamiliar surroundings.
I positively love how you delve into the psychological and analytical aspects of the crime. Every other channel I've come across so far doesn't do that. You are an absolute GEM.
This is my favorite UA-cam channel!!! Thanks so much!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Saddest - a good responsible professional classic kind lady lost her life for absolutely nothing. So senseless killing. I feel for her mother.
It’s always such a wonder to me how people can convince others to help them kill someone. I get 2 psychopaths or whatever but seemingly normal people agreeing to go along to help boggles the mind. Do they think it’d be like some Hollywood movie? Where in the end nothing is real? How do you agree to help someone kill another person after only knowing them for 2 weeks!?! 🤔
1.25 million doesn't remotely cover the 10 years in prison
Ewu Crew in the House! You're spoiling us and I love it! Thank you for all your awesome videos and hard work. ❤ you guys rock!
