Thanks for watching everyone! Pretty big update on the channel at the 27:26 mark of the video, so stick around for that. Changes coming but exciting times ahead!
Thanks Mike. Dam my notification just came through and already got a lot comments just show we all waiting for your next video you put out. Mega thanks from uk.
I live in Farmington. This was devastating to our community. I didn’t know her but a lot of my friends did and she was a sweet person and completely innocent. She was just minding her own business. Rest In Peace Sasha. You deserved so much better. Gooch was a real gooch.
@@peecee1384 It's a lot less suspicious than the phone on your person following the victim. And one could always come up with reasons they don't have their phone on them from forgetting it, to it being dead or damaged or even misplaced.
I am with u on this one. If i was goin in for a good ol murder,buying a burner would be #1 when I went to Walmart to stock up on duct tape,tarps,and the usual kit.Oh, and make.sure i show my big fat face on the camaras and use my debit card to pay. Wouldn't want to leave any clues.
What I love about That Chapter is that Mike never overdramatizes the stories, or talks in a "creepy" voice etc. It's just entertaining storytelling, while also staying true to the facts.
Yeah there is another channel Mr Ballan and he tends to go way over dramatic in his presentation. I much prefer Mike's down to earth sarcasm and contempt for the perps.
@@Mandrake42 He also takes thirty minutes to tell a ten-minute story because he dumbs it down so much with constant repetition and is so entertained by his own sarcastic "wit".
He does have an exceptional gift. He has a restorative quality for sure. Sad to hear of your tragedy. So young, like many of these tragic cases. GOD Bless
Bless that poor woman who reported it. You can hear how traumatic it was for her. I hope her friend brought her some peace. So glad this man was caught. Bless Sasha’s poor soul. Thanks mike for another great video.
@@salahsshavedeyebrow Um, finding a murder victim when you're by yourself in the middle of nowhere sounds scarier than finding one in the company of other people........
You literally can’t say anything the internet without those kind of responses. 😂 Humans are so odd. I’m sure there is some interesting psychology behind it. All you can really do is laugh.
I don't know Coffee House crime is really good with Adrian, disturbing, ape Honcho, monsters, Truth for reality, Mr Black pasta, dire trip, the crime Atlas, black girl lost, Mr Ballin, that dude Jack with the curly hair he's a really good Storyteller too. those are just a few of some really really good ones. Especially Truth for reality and Mr Black pasta. They make this channel look insignificant. Both of them really really care about the victims. Mike's is not bad the only thing that drives me nuts is he's got a bad habit of taking old cases from like a year ago deleting them reuploading them and making them seem like they're new. That shit drives me crazy cuz it makes me feel like I've lost my mind. It's happened like five or six times now. But other than that yeah he's all right. Before he started doing that I liked him a lot more. His humor is really good but like I said the other ones care a lot more about the victims Adrian from the coffee house crime he's also really caring when it comes to the victims in their stories. You should check some of them out. I have a doorbell compilation on mine. I also do some
They were the same age too. I wonder if she was kindly trying to give him all the info for Sunday services and her love and enthusiasm further fueled his sick mind. Extremely heartbreaking and as the judge stated, senseless murder. May Sasha rest in paradise. Have a great weekend TC followers and as always stay safe, remember Mike luvs ya😉
That actually sounds plausible. He talked in his texts with his brother about how the communities he was spying on weren't like the people they had grown up with. He was clearly looking to victimize the sort of people he hated and felt deserved it. And then he found Sasha, and was furious that she wasn't what he expected.
We have to stop saying “sick” in Lou of “malevolent”. “Sick” implies that what’s wrong with him can be remedied, it cannot. They wish to do harm. They get pleasure from doing harm. They have no remorse. That’s not “sick”, that’s evil.
Besides being a great storyteller, with a great sense of humor and even greater sense of compassion, Mike has no idea how many people never hear the words, "I love you." Thank you. I'LL GIVE IT A GOO!
Mike is the kind of friend everyone needs, and wants. He's a rare and wonderful human like that. I love Mike, and I love you! Thanks for your lovely comment.
@sparkytuttle2 Well said. I bet when Mike checks his watch-time demographics he sees that a lot of people wait until they hear him say “I love you” before clicking off. I’ve noticed a few other channels are saying that now too. 🤔
I'm not surprised Mike is going to one video per week - the amount of research must be exhausting to try to cram it all in to 2 videos per week. I'm excited to find out what's ahead, and will always continue to love That Chapter! ❤️
It's fucking insane to me that he does this 95% himself AND consistently uploads twice a week. I'm a procrastinator and it blows my mind. Like, seriously, it's absolutely insane. Once a week is still more than I could ask for. PLUS they're longer/deeper researched? PLUS a new project? It kinda bugs me when people bounce all over youtuber's dicks sometimes, but this man is a fucking BEAST.
This continues to be the best true crime channel on the platform. Mike's oratory style and unique story telling ability makes this a must view for me twice a week.
He literally just announced he’s only doing videos once a week now because it’s only him running this channel and the vids will be longer and better! I’m excited!
Mike is entertaining, sure, but unprofessional at best. Calling perpetrators cunts and pieces of shit, as warranted as it may be, just isn't professional or helpful.
Breaks my heart when I first see the photo of the victims, especially one where they're smiling/clearly having a good time in it. Makes me think of how terrified they must have been when they knew their fate - what their facial expression must have looked like when they were at the mercy of their killer. So freaking tragic.
Me too!! I always wonder what they were feeling/thinking?! Who were they thinking of?! Were they at peace or were they just absolutely terrified?! Like you said, those beautiful smiles.. Just snuffed out from the world.. And for what?! Makes me so sad.. And so mad.. People that can steal a life like that are the lowest of the low, in my opinion!! Despicable!! And deserve what they get (or worse than they get sometimes).. It's just heartbreaking 💔
@@SandyMeeshell if you haven't already, you should watch the "I Survived" series on UA-cam. It's first person story telling from people that should have died after the awful things that happened to them but somehow survived. They often talk about how they were feeling and what they were thinking in those final terrifying moments. It's really interesting that so many say the same things and some day things I never would have considered running through your mind as someone is trying to kill you. It's a really great insight into understanding how they were feeling. Highly recommend. It's also on Hulu but then you have to watch commercials and UA-cam also has more episodes.
Mike, I deeply appreciate your inquiry about the perpetrator’s childhood trauma. We don’t choose our childhoods, but we’re responsible for what we do with it afterwards - grow and heal (as needed) or perpetuate the trauma by hurting others.
So true. Most of just end up hating ourselves and making decisions that will mostly just hurt us. Others take a different angle and there’s no coming back from that for them or the people they target. Healing is obviously the goal but the older I get, the more I realize that it’s a whole life journey with many hills.
@@supernova11711 I feel you & HUGE HUGS♥️ 3rd option: continue existing; live my best life; work on self‐love despite ptsd; try to do no harm: try to make love ripples in social rivers.
@@muzzer5327 Your view (aka. "Just Grow up & Heal") means that you audaciously believe you can & will succeed at dictating how other's feel. So ok smarty ‐ should I sh¡t or fart? Please, O' wise stranger • who deems to tell others they're "life‐ing" incorrectly • what am I to DO!?! I'm putting all my future choices in your hands as that cocky‐confidence indicates you believe you know "BEST" for any Strangers Online (or you're a clueless arsehole; surely not?)
Once a week or twice it doesn't matter Mike, I will be still watching your videos. You are the best true crime UA-cam channel. You have been doing a great job, well done!!!
This was an amazing trial to watch. The detectives were so brilliant about putting together the technology in this case. It was the modern stuff that led us to the guilty verdict. This woman was the most innocent lamb imaginable.
I watched this trial too Tobi & totally agree with you. Heartbreaking case. The way they put it all together was fascinating & fantastic detective & forensic work. RIP Sasha😞😢
I've really enjoyed how Mike's "I love ya" has evolved from a sheepish little mumble to full clarity and a big smile. We love you too! Really looking forward to your secret project!
These stories rarely get national attention. At my age, I remember only having the 3 major networks and a few local stations. We only heard about things in our area. Thank you for presenting these cases. It can't be easy, especially the mental strain. Bless your heart, sweet Mike
Man I remember those black and white ,rabbit ears TV days .What was it 1am all 3 channels were sounding off done for the day .Yes you right something like this would have been local news.
Today was my first time hearing that slang term. I actually had to look it up but afterwards Mike’s explanation made more sense. Between my love of true crime and the slang I look up someone from Google or the FBI may come for me one day 👀. Is it an older term or one usually used more in Europe? Perhaps I am getting old?
Dude you've been doing tons of videos for the past like three years every week even during holidays for the most part. One really detailed video a week is more than enough. Content has been getting better and better :)
@@holylandfan3275 if in 2022, cussing offends you, then I'd suggest coming off of social media's. 🤦♀️ he hardly swears in an offensive manner. Its expression nowadays. Don't like it, move along!
@@nikitajade1571 Maybe you are not aware, but the constant use of profanity proves someone is not educated. If they were, they would have a dictionary full of other words to use. Plus, people seem to think it makes their statement more affective, but it doesn’t.
This hits close to home. I lived in Farmington for 8 years so to hear about this broke my heart. I’m looking forward to seeing you do this story justice just like you always do!
@@GrimNephilim uh, have you tried this? It's not easy. It takes hours and hours. Just because they aren't doing physical labor doesn't mean this isn't hard work. Literally have to go to school to do any of the many elements done to make this video, for TV or movie.
The idea of cross-examining cell phone pings that follow a specific route (especially if you have a narrowed time-frame) was quite ingenious. That can really help pinpoint a suspect under the right circumstances. Other police departments should probably take note of this little trick, as it can certainly be quite handy under specific circumstances.
@@rockstarofredondo Well, of course they are. But in regards to this specific method, I'm not sure how often it is being utilized. As one who has watched, read, and/or researched information pertaining to a large number of criminal investigations... this is the first time I've heard about this specific tracking procedure being used. I'm not suggesting that other police departments aren't aware of it -- I would merely presume that if it were being used on a regular basis, it would appear more often in the coverage and/or research I am engaging in. Which is why I was implying that I would like to see it being employed by more police departments under certain conditions that could clearly benefit from its proper utilization.
Mike, I am blown away that you have been doing all this mostly by yourself! I always assumed you had a team behind the camera, each person with a job to do in putting these videos together. I really appreciate your talent at doing what you do and look forward to the new format you'll be putting together for us. ~Cheers from Michigan
This “one horse show” is such a gift to all of your subscribers and patrons, Mike. I’m sure we all look forward to Project X and the Next Chapter of That Chapter. I can’t believe you do almost all of this yourself! You need a staff…and a vacation!
I’ll be the first to volunteer as staff! (Provided I can work remotely from central Florida) Orrr…. Better yet… SCRATCH THAT I want OUTTA HERE! Just cover my moving to Ireland costs as a sort of ‘pay advance’ and I’ll begin working it off as staff of that chapter when I get there lol
Absolutely one of my favorite crime channels. Mike is very good at what he does. As difficult as crime reporting is, being able to inject respectable humor into his stories without minimizing or disrespect to the victims is a gift. Excited to hear more is in store for us, his fans. He deserves success. Has worked hard for it. You go Mike!
Respectable?? Mike is good, but he is constantly disrespectful, esp when he makes fun of how someone looks, feeling its OK because they did something wrong, completely ignoring the fact that plenty of decent ppl who didn't do anything wrong look exactly like the person he's belittling. He also shits on entire towns. It's funny, sure, but ...his whole brand is being cheeky. It didn't really register for me back when he had 12k subscribers but now that he has 2 million, it hits a little different.
@@crieverytim I watched the Cruz case and have a problem with the disrespect shown to the judges looks, whether she had botox, comments she's vain, and court was late because she was I don't know doing her hair. So what if every bit of that is true. Reality is male judges in general not spoken qbout that way. I also watched the Darryl Brooks case and I had friends saying a male judge wouldn't put up with his behavior. So I'm kinda sick of that double standard stuff. But i also recognize I can choose not to watch or engage. Mike does exactly what you pointed so maybe looks should be left out. But he's right these folks are a right piece of shit. Robin Pollard
@@robinpollard6085 dont doubt NOT FOR A SECOND that NEAR ALL seen in court {judge ,prosecuter, and your defense lawbie} have disscussed all we see BEFORE SESSION and at BREAKS ,the jury is BARELY the wild card , unfortunatly my life choices SUKED and i learned more than i ever imagioned i ever would , a GOOD defense lawbie is better to have than a GREAT SURGION ,DOCTOR or most all things folks take for granted ,EVERYTHING and EVERYBODY involved in law has a pricetag on it/them , only diff bettween them all is slightly dependant {slightly} on location , THAT woman trually proves my PT ! all EGO or no GO
Hey, I really thought this channel HAD to be a team of people because of the quality and thoroughness of every single video! I can't believe you even have had time to do 2 a week for so long! Thank you, and I look forward to what you are bringing us next ☺️
Why r u giving this man $10.00? You know how much money he makes?! This man makes tons of money. from UA-cam paying him. Look at his subscribers. plus he has sponsers.
@@kaylor87 because its a waste to give a rich person who makes tons of money a donation in my mind. Give it to someone in need. It's not hating, its a waste.
@@swayjaayy7631 Lol, your logic is flawed. You know nothing about this person who donated, nor the finances or financial needs of Mike. Who are you to say what this man spends HIS $10 on is a waste?? How do you know he's not rich himself, and just donated $10,000 to actual charity? How do you know Mike doesn't give away every penny he makes to charity himself? How about you mind your own business, and quit judging people for how they GIVE AWAY their money. Smh, people these days...
I was shocked! It’s so professionally edited with lots of media of the actual people and places. I thought for sure there was a team and Mike was “just” the presenter. I’m really impressed.
I'm from Farmington and this case was intense! I remember it happening and being afraid to let the kids outside alone, just in case. It was so incredibly sad! Thanks for covering it and doing such a great job.
I think the most heartbreaking part is her not fighting. I am not religious, I have some “grudges” I need to deal with from church in my childhood but that shouldn’t affect anyone’s opinion on someone who has done NOTHING TO ANYONE. Even in her last few minutes she stuck to her beliefs. She accepted her unfair fate with pride and she has all of my respect. Rest In Peace.
Sadly that is the human affliction, no matter what race, religion or creed, no one is restricted from doing the most heinous things and venting our their hatred on the undeserving.
Sadly God, the Bible and Christianity get a bad name when people do evil in His name. God is loving, patient and kind. Merciful. He tells those who follow Him and His word to be the same. Any evil that’s done does NOT come from Him. Evil has a source and unfortunately that source almost always never gets the blame. Devil. All sources of evil are his handy work.
@@TruthHurtsSoGetAHelmet thank you for saying that. To the author of this post- I hope you can forgive whoever may have hurt you in the church and you can find your way back to our heavenly Father.
To answer Mike's question, yes. Yes I do come here for the geography lesson 😂 establishing the setting really helps me visualize the story. I mostly listen to these videos while I work so the more descriptions the better!
I know that about 1.75 million jaws dropped as soon as you said you were going down to one video a week. Mine certainly did. I was very relieved when you said that you were going to make the one video longer, and that there would be some other stuff throughout the week that you have yet to reveal to us. We all enjoy your program so much; even though the subject matter isn’t exactly what one might call “uplifting”, you and the way you present it certainly are. In these harsh and uncertain times, it is wonderful to have something to look forward to. You are that something. Keep up the fantastic work as always, and I for one am very excited to see what new productions you have up your sleeve! Stay healthy and safe! 🇲🇽
I didn't have my glasses on & this is about religion... I thought I read 1.75 million Jews... I don't think theres that many Mennonites in the world but why are Jews dropping again in such huge numbers when this isn't even about them, makes no sense? Then I got my glasses & you were talking about Jaws.. I had context, it made sense etc etc etc... But I do have a kooky religious family which includes atheists, pagans, Mennonites, Moravians and yes even Jews, though they don't really practice anyway. Greetings from North Carolina.
Mike, you are a genius. From the beginning, you always had this weird sense of humor that captured your audience, And knowing that you do this all by yourself, when so many less successful content creators have an entire team to edit, research and so on, is pure genius (and your editing is as funny and good as you are). You deserve to be among the TOP content creators in your field (true crime) and we love you for all your efforts to be where you are today. We'll be waiting for your next chapter. Hugs from Brazil.
Funny that - I was just thinking when I started watching this video about how insane it is that you're somehow able to cram out 2 videos a week, while doing almost everything yourself. As a chronic procrastinator, it blows my mind. Seriously. Absolutely insane, big dog. Even weekly is still mind-bogglingly frequent, and you ALWAYS remain consistent to your upload schedule. I notice that's something quite a few channels have a hard time with (I completely understand, haha). But DUDE. You continue to blow me away. Weekly upload is still fantastic, ESPECIALLY with the added bonus of longer/more-time-to-research videos. Even if they weren't - your current videos once a week would still meet 110% of my expectations (not that my expectations matter, I'm just a random dude). Looking forward to your new project. Stay golden, bucko. I'll see you next month on the turd. :)
5 years!! I can't believe it's been that long already! You've always done such an amazing job Mike, I'll be here to love and appreciate you and all you do for 5 more years, and then some
I honestly can’t wait to see the videos that come from mike being able to put more time into making each one!! So full support to him for making the change.
Wow! This happened in my home town, the Mennonite facility is only about a mile from my house. I moved to Texas in 2009, but my daughter lives in my house and she never told me about this. So sad this happened to these people, they are so nice and make excellent products to sell. RIP Sasha!
I have been a Patreon support of Mike for some time and it's some of the best money I've ever spent. He's produces interesting, thorough, well researched stories with a touch of macabre humour. Can't wait for the "Next Chapter".
Thank you for talking about this tragic case. I watched this trial and was it was devastating listening to all of the testimony. My heart goes out to her family and community.
Brother I love that chapter. I’m bummed to hear we will only get one episode a week but it’s beyond impressive what you do on your own. I’m grateful for whatever you make for us! 🙏
The comedic micro-moments you throw into your videos are gold, keep 'em coming. Had no idea you are pretty much the solo captain of this ship, darn impressive. So glad I found you just over 2 years ago. Congratulations on your well deserved success. 🥂
Never worry about your editing, you do an amazing job! Bringing these videos every week, the research, the timing! You are very good at your job, my friend!
I’ve been sick with COViD the last few weeks, my parents too.. it’s like a wave, or more like a roller coaster. But I’ve been binging on your videos and they’ve kept me sane this whole time. I am grateful that my family and I are on the mend and am grateful to you for keeping me company. Thank you Mike! ❤
@@bjj9711 I am vaccinated. My family too. I even got my last booster in September, the newest one. But unfortunately still got sick somehow. I’m pretty careful too. But thank you for the well wishes! 🥴🤢🤮🤧😷🤒🤕❤️🩹
My heart goes out to Sasha’s heartbroken family and loved ones. May God cover and heal your pain. This is indeed, as your Honor said, senseless. Just devastating.
The fact that That Chapter is a one man show is absolutely amazing! Your content is some of my favorite true crime content. I am excited to have deeper dive videos to see. Even if it will mean I will miss my weekly scheduled videos.
Ahhh, another evening relaxing to the tune of good ole Give it a GOO! This story is so sad, I love that Mike releases stories that I rarely see covered. Thank you for all your time and the energy you put in to your work🙂
Mike, I love the idea that you’ll be doing one episode a week from now on. It’s a win-win because the episodes will be longer and you can avoid burnout and have time to breathe between episodes. Awesome! 👍😎
You hit the nail on the head when you said there’s more to this story. I also think there was some deep rooted trauma that he endured as a child, possibly at the hands of a woman or his mother. I say that bc he picked Sasha, a woman. (Although he was possibly abused by men and women or just a man and only chose Sasha bc she was a victim of opportunity). But i think you’re right about that. Very sad case 😢
he may have been abused or maybe his psyche just magnified smaller things in his childhood , maybe he picked up ways of thinking from the culture that reinforced the perceived injury . i often wonder how we can kill a million iraqis and call each other heroes without any repercussions , add economic inequality, single shooter games, prestige tv ( sopranos)`a whole host of manichean cultural ideas. surprised it doesn't happen more often. not an excuse just saying america is weird
Or he targeted her because she was a mennonite woman and he had sadistic sexual frustrations he wanted to enact on a perceived virgin woman (same way pedos think)and uses trauma to excuse himself.
I think you do an absolutely phenomenal job with "That Chapter." Take your time doing what you do best, Mike. 🥰 Those who love you will support you, whether it is one video a week or twenty vids a week. You genuinely are a truly fantastic Content Creator. I have always loved the quality of your shows. I am sure they are going to be even more remarkable than they were before your announcement. And... now we have a big surprise coming our way too! 😯😎😊 What a great way to end things on as well! Looking forward to seeing what you have in store for us, Mike. Take care, my friend! 💜☠💜
Mike is excellent but he also knows he needs to post once or twice a week because you can't grow a UA-cam channel without doing that. He's got this down to a science doesn't he
@@manleynelson9419 He sure does, Manley. One cannot successfully last on UA-cam for five years without having a proper game plan. Plus, he has such a perfect sense of humor that pairs perfectly with all of his narration. I love it!
Believe US Mike. We know you do all your work and we appreciate the hell out of you for doing it. You the best homie. Take your time and keep putting out the good s#@t! Peace, Mike out.
We will always be here waiting for the next Chapter to “Give it a Gooo!”. Content such as yours is hard to find, you breath such life into the stories you tell. You get us “invested” in these cases. You are a true artist, and thank you for all of your hard work……..
I am so stoked to see what your next chapter brings!! And man doing this for 5 years all by yourself is unbelievable and absolutely incredible!!! I hope you find days to relax and and take care of yourself and again can't wait to see what comes next!
I don't care how often you upload, just that you are happy with what you do and that I have you occasionally be part of my day, as you bring light to cases that deserve it. In the end, I am looking forward to what you'll do, because I'm confident that whatever it is, as long as you are happy doing it, it'll be fantastic! Keep up the great job!
Another important case that I wouldn't have ever heard about if not for you! Thank you for telling us her story 💔..... I hope that evil S.O.B is currently rotting behind bars & is as miserable as he can possibly be! Another great presentation Mike! Looking forward to more of your upcoming cases! Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦❤️
My gosh… this just totally blows my mind 😮 the fact that he had so much HATE in his heart for this group of people!! And poor Sasha just happened to be in a position where she was vulnerable to fall victim to this crime. If only she had taken a friend with her that night.. we wouldn’t be listening to this horrific story 😢
I had zero idea you were almost entirely a one-man-band. It seemed like you were an entire production based on the quality of your videos! I fully support you pulling back a little. You're a fantastic creator and personality. Keep up the awesome work!
Thanks Mike, you do such an excellent job with these.. you manage to slip in the subtle humor where it’s not inappropriate.. it makes some of these stories a little bit easier to take in.. and.. you give the right amount of derision to the people who deserve it.. You’re appreciated…
Congrats on your incredible journey and your accomplishments in such a short time. You deserve it w/ that witty humor, well researched and presented cases, and of course, the insurance dance.
Although you cover such horrific crimes you are able to insert dark humor with which helps lighten the mood. Thank you And with much respect to those that have passed and to the family that suffers as well. Rip 🙏
The fact that you do all of this alone is unreal. I watch and rewatch your videos all the time, you do such an incredible job on this channel. Well done.
I'm so glad that you are going to be spending more time researching each case and doing longer videos, even if you will only be releasing one video a week from now on. You are one of the few true crime content creators on YT that appears to do what you do with relative ease. I can tell that you enjoy it, but I'm sure a lot of hard work goes into the content you put out every week. I'm happy about this change and I think it's going to be a good one:)
I started watching you at under 10,000 subs and you've developed and evolved in a wonderful way. It's hard to believe you're largely a one-man band. I look forward to what's next.
I never thought I’d get a video of a case from where I actually live. It was pretty amazing to see the community get so involved with the search and how the tragedy brought the town together. Definitely not the outcome everyone was hoping for and always condolences. One of my favorite crime channels ever! Only one I give my time to, and cannot wait for what you have in store Mike!
I just popped in to add: isn’t it surreal to see your own hometown in a Mike video?? It’s happened to me a couple times (hmm, what does that say about where I live? Lol. Anyways, I’ve been a loyal TC watcher for almost the entire 5 years now & he just keeps getting better. Have a great night. Take care.
Sounds like there is some dysfunctional family dynamics involved that spurred the perp to commit this senseless murder. RIP Sasha; a pity that you were randomly victimized . Looking forward to your new formatting plans, Mike. Whatever works for you works for us! Thanks for posting all your interesting cases.
It is amazing to me, that I have been watching Mike since fairly early days, and I have NO IDEA of any single fact of his personal life. Nothing beyond nationality...absolutely nothing:) Fantastic job, Mike. You deserve to make whatever choices you want. I'll be here for it. TY.
Good timing about the once a week thing. I imagine the Delphi case will eventually need a lot of research once the details come out. Thanks for everything you do, Mike. 🙏🏻
Curious how those who "have a grudge" and want to harm someone almost never choose a "bad person". Wonder why that is. So glad they caught the culprit. RIP Sasha. Sidenote: always thought Mike had a whole team behind TC like most yt channels so i'm amazed and surprised by Mike's efforts and talent! Can't wait for the Next Chapter of That Chapter.
Hey Mike it's sad to hear that we're only going to get to hear from you once a week, but great to hear that the stories will be longer. Can't wait to see what the surprise is that you have in store for us in the, hopefully, not too distant future. As always thank you for all of your hard work making these stories for us. Keep safe and remember we love ya.
No matter what changes you make, I’m a subscriber for life. Loved your stories, you have the smart kooky way of telling them. You are funny and I love you for that…please keep ‘em coming. Something to look forward each week. Makes a stressful busy life worthwhile ….Power on, Mike!🍀
I think some people are just good old fashioned crazy. There isn't always an explanation. Thank you for all that you do and I appreciate your hard work in creating this content.
So thrilled TC took on Sasha's case!!!! It was so unnderreported, it was one the 2 cases I've recommend over the last 2 years & both my recs made the cut here! Sasha's case has given me a new understanding of the Amish, & her poem was beautiful
@༺Joe's-girl༻ It does, it kind of sounds like Catholicism vs. Pentecostals.Pentecostal.. I went to both Catholic School & Pentecostal school & people also think they're the same (Christian) but I assure you each were a very different experience/learning criteria. Thanks 😊
@༺Joe's-girl༻ and to add one more thing.... you'd think that since the Mennonites are the ones who believe in assurance, he'd be on his best behavior. He clearly believes ZIP about the faith, unlike his ridiculous claims about why he visited the area. Very damaged man.
🤔 You two have such a similar writing style it looks like you're talking to yourself. That plus the fact that most people would explain the difference by saying that Mennonites use phones and electricity and stuff but Amish don't. Just makes it seem like one person is using two accounts to spread some Christian propaganda and try to "win souls". The vocabulary and phrases are straight out of one of those tracts that Christians give to waitresses instead of a tip.
Mike, “I hear ya barking big dawg,” but my heart sank when you said only once a week… THEN, I heard the rest from “Future Mike” 🤣 and I am so happy! I cannot hardly wait to dive in to what you’ve been working on! You are such an amazing creator, THE BEST on YT (In my opinion) and you have no idea how you’ve helped me through some hard days!

Dee H I share your sentiments. Mike has helped me heaps also & I’m sure many people around the world. Jami from Boise always comes to my mind. Her story resonated with me too. (Comment on another episode that has stayed with me, now you!😊)True crime, his great sense of humour, positivity,Irish accent & wonderful personality, Mike has it all in spades. I’m in Perth Western Australia 🇦🇺 & really look forward to each new episode. Some super people leave inspiring comments. We need more of this in the world. In Mike’s words….”Let’s give it a g-o-o-o-o!!!”🥰😉😂
@@deew1215 you said it perfectly! So very true! I know he receives lots of comments but, I really hope he knows at least half of those he has truly helped, in many ways! And, we need more uplifting people such as yourself in the world! Thanks for reading my comment and being so kind! P.S. “Let’s give it a g-o-o-o-o,” really made me laugh out loud! 😂 love it!
I always love to see this channel move forward and try new things. Mike has developed a unique style over the years and is organized like a very well oiled machine. It's really impressive what he has achieved so far. So I'm excited to see what's next. :) Greetings from Germany
Honestly congrats for holding down two vids a week primarily on your own for this long. Your quality never faltered and I'd have thought you had an editing team standing behind you with how well the content always comes out! Be well my guy love what you do over here
@@GrimNephilim getting all of that actual news footage, 911 call audio, compiling it into a start to finish story, twice a week? Wouldn't say that is easy. Just the filming himself is probably relatively simple tho agreed
@@GrimNephilim not easy at all dude to keep up this type of content twice a week consistently. Would like to see you be consistent with two videos per *month* of this quality and see if you still say that.
It honestly makes Mike addictive true crime channel all the more impressive , the fact that it's a one man show. There's YTers out there with a full editing team and their videos aren't half the quality, or as unique as That Chapter. I also like Mr Ballen but he isn't different kind true crime/mystery channel. Also very unique we really knows how to tell a story and that's exactly what he does.
I am so glad he was caught. He was a monster and I feel like if he got away with it he could have become a serial killer. He had no connection to this person just that she was apart of something he hated so he took her life. RIP to Sasha and I hope that her family can find peace knowing the monster was locked away. On another note I’m excited to see what changes you have for your channel in the future Mike. I’ll be here rooting for you and anticipating the new video.
Do you think he was just a pure psycho or did something really happen to make him hate this religious group so hard? I kind of agree with mike, it would be strange to harbor so much hate for no reason 🤔
I think his upbringing had something to do with who he became as an individual. however I don't believe it's the only factor. There is plenty of debate on what creates a psychopath. Nature or nurture. Bundy, Gacy and Jeffrey Dahmer. countless books argue what makes a serial killer. I'm thankful that whatever it is that makes an individual act on such atrocious impulses I was spared.
Thought the same! This guy def. seems like a serial killer in mindset. He took out his anger on Mennonites as did his brothers, but I doubt his bros had ideas on killing anyone. Just going to randomly kill someone on your own, driving like 7+ hrs away to do so, seems to be less of a hate crime and more of just a killer looking for a victim to kill. He probably would have killed again if not caught; mind have even killed before and not been caught.
You should be so proud of yourself! For a one man show, your channel if fantastic! Thank you for the great content and I look forward to longer stories! The change is going to be great! ❤
No worries, bro! We appreciate all your hard work bringing these cases to light. Whether it’s once or twice a week. Looking forward to watching more videos with you!
A few years back my brother recommended Mike because he knows I love true crime. I’ve been here ever since. Out of all the true crime channels on UA-cam, Mike is the best. He’s always pushing our content! He never disappears on us!!!! (Damnit Bailey, I was rooting for you.) love you Mike!!!!!
I don’t like only once a week but as long as you stick around all is good. Thanks for all you do, your crime storytelling is riveting and a little humor thrown in! Love ‘ya Mike Out 😉
Thanks for watching everyone! Pretty big update on the channel at the 27:26 mark of the video, so stick around for that. Changes coming but exciting times ahead!
Really excited for you, Mike! Can’t wait to see what’s coming! 🔥
Bark!
Thanks Mike. Dam my notification just came through and already got a lot comments just show we all waiting for your next video you put out. Mega thanks from uk.
Stoked for the longer videos and project X! :)
Love ya Mike!
Let’s not forget that this man is a one man operation. The editing, writing, research, filming, etc. all him. Amazing work as always.
He’s making a lot of money so you should refrain from rubbing his balls with your words
Yes, all of this ^
I think his cat lends a paw
Didn’t he have a girlfriend in his earlier videos?
Understandable & as long as we still get you & your shows, you’re the best & my favourite of all the other true crime out there☘️💜👍😀
I live in Farmington. This was devastating to our community. I didn’t know her but a lot of my friends did and she was a sweet person and completely innocent. She was just minding her own business. Rest In Peace Sasha. You deserved so much better. Gooch was a real gooch.
Gooch is almost as evil as Michelle Lujan Grisham ☠️
I was thinking cooch but gooch will work too. 😁
That was a hate crime for sure, crazy. May she rest in heaven until the next life.🙏🏼❤️🦋
just because a jury found him guilty doesn't mean he's actually the perpetrator. the justice system is a joke in your country lol
@@oglostingaming Gross thing to say in reply to someone whose community was directly impacted by this despicable crime.
I'm amazed at how many people leave their phones on and head out to murder thinking they won't get found out. I'm literally amazed.
I know, right! Don't take your phone to the murder, and don't wear your murderin' boots to a police interview.
It's not complicated.
@@renejean2523 Not taking your phone with you is suspicious in itself. You better have a good reason…
@@peecee1384 It's a lot less suspicious than the phone on your person following the victim. And one could always come up with reasons they don't have their phone on them from forgetting it, to it being dead or damaged or even misplaced.
@@peecee1384 - I don't take my phone everywhere I go because I'm not a slave to it.
I am with u on this one. If i was goin in for a good ol murder,buying a burner would be #1 when I went to Walmart to stock up on duct tape,tarps,and the usual kit.Oh, and make.sure i show my big fat face on the camaras and use my debit card to pay. Wouldn't want to leave any clues.
What I love about That Chapter is that Mike never overdramatizes the stories, or talks in a "creepy" voice etc. It's just entertaining storytelling, while also staying true to the facts.
Yeah there is another channel Mr Ballan and he tends to go way over dramatic in his presentation. I much prefer Mike's down to earth sarcasm and contempt for the perps.
Well said
Simple, yet extremely effective....love him 😊
I as well despise the (over)dramatized voices that are so very common in American "entertainment" and advertisements nowadays.
@@Mandrake42 He also takes thirty minutes to tell a ten-minute story because he dumbs it down so much with constant repetition and is so entertained by his own sarcastic "wit".
I love ya. you've helped us thru the depression of losing our only child in 2015 at 27yr old.
What a great kid you are. Much love.
I'm sorry for your loss 💔 Best wishes to you and your family
So sorry for your loss
I'm so sorry to hear of your devastating loss.
I’m so very sorry for your loss. May you find peace in his memory and continue supporting each other through your pain.
He does have an exceptional gift. He has a restorative quality for sure.
Sad to hear of your tragedy. So young, like many of these tragic cases. GOD Bless
Bless that poor woman who reported it. You can hear how traumatic it was for her. I hope her friend brought her some peace.
So glad this man was caught. Bless Sasha’s poor soul. Thanks mike for another great video.
She was camping alone too.
Yes!

You literally can’t say anything the internet without those kind of responses. 😂 Humans are so odd. I’m sure there is some interesting psychology behind it. All you can really do is laugh.
I live in Farmington. This was huge when it happened, and so many people were looking for her. Such a senseless and tragic murder.
That would be so very upsetting-I agree, so senseless and tragic.
@@kdot8340 I care. Why do you feel the need to post a nasty comment?
This is why I don’t live in Red States. They hate everything and everyone. They are equal opportunity haters.
Mike is one of the best true crime UA-cam channels ever, he’s funny, witty and uses his own personality to tell a story.
Definitely the best and my favorite.
Some have tried, and some try hard (too hard) but nobody does it like him!
I don't know Coffee House crime is really good with Adrian, disturbing, ape Honcho, monsters, Truth for reality, Mr Black pasta, dire trip, the crime Atlas, black girl lost, Mr Ballin, that dude Jack with the curly hair he's a really good Storyteller too. those are just a few of some really really good ones. Especially Truth for reality and Mr Black pasta. They make this channel look insignificant. Both of them really really care about the victims. Mike's is not bad the only thing that drives me nuts is he's got a bad habit of taking old cases from like a year ago deleting them reuploading them and making them seem like they're new. That shit drives me crazy cuz it makes me feel like I've lost my mind. It's happened like five or six times now. But other than that yeah he's all right. Before he started doing that I liked him a lot more. His humor is really good but like I said the other ones care a lot more about the victims Adrian from the coffee house crime he's also really caring when it comes to the victims in their stories. You should check some of them out. I have a doorbell compilation on mine. I also do some
yes!
Absolutely. He is just sooo much better than Ballen
A lot of people don't even know how useful a herd of Golden Retrievers can be on the farm. Thanks for spreading the knowledge Mike!
Maybe you might not know, but pioneers used to ride those babies for miles.
Wouldn't that be a pack?
@@nobodysbaby5048 not when you raise them for milk lol
They were the same age too. I wonder if she was kindly trying to give him all the info for Sunday services and her love and enthusiasm further fueled his sick mind. Extremely heartbreaking and as the judge stated, senseless murder. May Sasha rest in paradise.
Have a great weekend TC followers and as always stay safe, remember Mike luvs ya😉
This case trouble me so much. Sad bro
That actually sounds plausible. He talked in his texts with his brother about how the communities he was spying on weren't like the people they had grown up with. He was clearly looking to victimize the sort of people he hated and felt deserved it. And then he found Sasha, and was furious that she wasn't what he expected.
We love him too! (Or at the very least, I do)
We have to stop saying “sick” in Lou of “malevolent”. “Sick” implies that what’s wrong with him can be remedied, it cannot. They wish to do harm. They get pleasure from doing harm. They have no remorse. That’s not “sick”, that’s evil.
Besides being a great storyteller, with a great sense of humor and even greater sense of compassion, Mike has no idea how many people never hear the words, "I love you." Thank you. I'LL GIVE IT A GOO!
Right! That’s always my favorite part!
Mike is the kind of friend everyone needs, and wants. He's a rare and wonderful human like that.
I love Mike, and I love you! Thanks for your lovely comment.
And we love Mike, too!!
@sparkytuttle2 Well said. I bet when Mike checks his watch-time demographics he sees that a lot of people wait until they hear him say “I love you” before clicking off. I’ve noticed a few other channels are saying that now too. 🤔
Love the channel but I hate that part
I'm not surprised Mike is going to one video per week - the amount of research must be exhausting to try to cram it all in to 2 videos per week. I'm excited to find out what's ahead, and will always continue to love That Chapter! ❤️
For sure I always think the exact same thing!
It definitely would be super time consuming to put out 2 videos a week. Especially given the quality of his content.
Don’t they usually have a team of researchers, editors and so forth. Or is Mike alone?
It's fucking insane to me that he does this 95% himself AND consistently uploads twice a week. I'm a procrastinator and it blows my mind. Like, seriously, it's absolutely insane.
Once a week is still more than I could ask for. PLUS they're longer/deeper researched? PLUS a new project?
It kinda bugs me when people bounce all over youtuber's dicks sometimes, but this man is a fucking BEAST.

@@MrRisingapple I KNEW I was right!! How did I know I would get that answer? I must be psycho, whooopies I mean psychic!
This continues to be the best true crime channel on the platform. Mike's oratory style and unique story telling ability makes this a must view for me twice a week.
I love his silliness!
Not to mention that he says he posts Tuesdays and Fridays and he actually does!! ❤
I would love one video of nothing but Mike's Insurance dance.
He literally just announced he’s only doing videos once a week now because it’s only him running this channel and the vids will be longer and better! I’m excited!
Mike is entertaining, sure, but unprofessional at best. Calling perpetrators cunts and pieces of shit, as warranted as it may be, just isn't professional or helpful.
Breaks my heart when I first see the photo of the victims, especially one where they're smiling/clearly having a good time in it. Makes me think of how terrified they must have been when they knew their fate - what their facial expression must have looked like when they were at the mercy of their killer. So freaking tragic.
Me too CD! It's very very upsetting and makes me so angry, towards the cowardly, scumbag murderers.
Me too!! I always wonder what they were feeling/thinking?! Who were they thinking of?! Were they at peace or were they just absolutely terrified?! Like you said, those beautiful smiles.. Just snuffed out from the world.. And for what?! Makes me so sad.. And so mad.. People that can steal a life like that are the lowest of the low, in my opinion!! Despicable!! And deserve what they get (or worse than they get sometimes).. It's just heartbreaking 💔
@@SandyMeeshell if you haven't already, you should watch the "I Survived" series on UA-cam. It's first person story telling from people that should have died after the awful things that happened to them but somehow survived. They often talk about how they were feeling and what they were thinking in those final terrifying moments. It's really interesting that so many say the same things and some day things I never would have considered running through your mind as someone is trying to kill you. It's a really great insight into understanding how they were feeling. Highly recommend. It's also on Hulu but then you have to watch commercials and UA-cam also has more episodes.
Preparing a video every three days is crazy. I prefer longer, more detailed videos that tell about the victims lives.
Right! 🥺🤟🙏😫🥺
Mike, I deeply appreciate your inquiry about the perpetrator’s childhood trauma. We don’t choose our childhoods, but we’re responsible for what we do with it afterwards - grow and heal (as needed) or perpetuate the trauma by hurting others.
So true. Most of just end up hating ourselves and making decisions that will mostly just hurt us.
Others take a different angle and there’s no coming back from that for them or the people they target.
Healing is obviously the goal but the older I get, the more I realize that it’s a whole life journey with many hills.
Best thing Ive heard pertaining to this is; It's not your fault, but it is your responsibility.

Once a week or twice it doesn't matter Mike, I will be still watching your videos. You are the best true crime UA-cam channel. You have been doing a great job, well done!!!
This was an amazing trial to watch. The detectives were so brilliant about putting together the technology in this case. It was the modern stuff that led us to the guilty verdict. This woman was the most innocent lamb imaginable.
I watched this trial too Tobi & totally agree with you. Heartbreaking case. The way they put it all together was fascinating & fantastic detective & forensic work. RIP Sasha😞😢
I've really enjoyed how Mike's "I love ya" has evolved from a sheepish little mumble to full clarity and a big smile. We love you too! Really looking forward to your secret project!

These stories rarely get national attention. At my age, I remember only having the 3 major networks and a few local stations. We only heard about things in our area. Thank you for presenting these cases. It can't be easy, especially the mental strain. Bless your heart, sweet Mike
Man I remember those black and white ,rabbit ears TV days .What was it 1am all 3 channels were sounding off done for the day .Yes you right something like this would have been local news.
The “gooch” description had me rolling. Thank you for your thorough coverage in a way we enjoy.
Today was my first time hearing that slang term. I actually had to look it up but afterwards Mike’s explanation made more sense. Between my love of true crime and the slang I look up someone from Google or the FBI may come for me one day 👀. Is it an older term or one usually used more in Europe? Perhaps I am getting old?

@@geocalloway9917 your right.
Not to mention the research that goes into these cases!
And he brings out more than one video a week!
The idea of cross-examining cell phone pings that follow a specific route (especially if you have a narrowed time-frame) was quite ingenious. That can really help pinpoint a suspect under the right circumstances. Other police departments should probably take note of this little trick, as it can certainly be quite handy under specific circumstances.
I would be willing to guess every police department in the country have known this longer than most people and abuse this tactic also.
Data dumps are widely used.
@@rockstarofredondo Well, of course they are. But in regards to this specific method, I'm not sure how often it is being utilized. As one who has watched, read, and/or researched information pertaining to a large number of criminal investigations... this is the first time I've heard about this specific tracking procedure being used. I'm not suggesting that other police departments aren't aware of it -- I would merely presume that if it were being used on a regular basis, it would appear more often in the coverage and/or research I am engaging in. Which is why I was implying that I would like to see it being employed by more police departments under certain conditions that could clearly benefit from its proper utilization.
Right! A brilliant idea and excellent piece of detective work… I must say I was pleasantly surprised by the determination of this police department.
Dude. Literally they just followed the highway. I drive that EXACT path from Phoenix to Farmington everytime I have to go see my family there.

Respectable??

Sadly that is the human affliction, no matter what race, religion or creed, no one is restricted from doing the most heinous things and venting our their hatred on the undeserving.
Sadly God, the Bible and Christianity get a bad name when people do evil in His name. God is loving, patient and kind. Merciful. He tells those who follow Him and His word to be the same.

I know that about 1.75 million jaws dropped as soon as you said you were going down to one video a week. Mine certainly did. I was very relieved when you said that you were going to make the one video longer, and that there would be some other stuff throughout the week that you have yet to reveal to us.

Then I got my glasses & you were talking about Jaws.. I had context, it made sense etc etc etc... But I do have a kooky religious family which includes atheists, pagans, Mennonites, Moravians and yes even Jews, though they don't really practice anyway. Greetings from North Carolina.
Anything he does is amazing, and I’m sure what he is producing will be too. Cheers from Canada! 🇨🇦
A white lady in Mexico? Gross. Go back to amerikkka
Mike, you are a genius. From the beginning, you always had this weird sense of humor that captured your audience, And knowing that you do this all by yourself, when so many less successful content creators have an entire team to edit, research and so on, is pure genius (and your editing is as funny and good as you are). You deserve to be among the TOP content creators in your field (true crime) and we love you for all your efforts to be where you are today. We'll be waiting for your next chapter. Hugs from Brazil.
Funny that - I was just thinking when I started watching this video about how insane it is that you're somehow able to cram out 2 videos a week, while doing almost everything yourself. As a chronic procrastinator, it blows my mind. Seriously. Absolutely insane, big dog.
Even weekly is still mind-bogglingly frequent, and you ALWAYS remain consistent to your upload schedule. I notice that's something quite a few channels have a hard time with (I completely understand, haha). But DUDE. You continue to blow me away.
Weekly upload is still fantastic, ESPECIALLY with the added bonus of longer/more-time-to-research videos. Even if they weren't - your current videos once a week would still meet 110% of my expectations (not that my expectations matter, I'm just a random dude).
Looking forward to your new project. Stay golden, bucko. I'll see you next month on the turd. :)
😂
5 years!! I can't believe it's been that long already! You've always done such an amazing job Mike, I'll be here to love and appreciate you and all you do for 5 more years, and then some
I honestly can’t wait to see the videos that come from mike being able to put more time into making each one!!
So full support to him for making the change.
Wow! This happened in my home town, the Mennonite facility is only about a mile from my house. I moved to Texas in 2009, but my daughter lives in my house and she never told me about this. So sad this happened to these people, they are so nice and make excellent products to sell. RIP Sasha!
I have been a Patreon support of Mike for some time and it's some of the best money I've ever spent. He's produces interesting, thorough, well researched stories with a touch of macabre humour. Can't wait for the "Next Chapter".
Thank you for talking about this tragic case. I watched this trial and was it was devastating listening to all of the testimony. My heart goes out to her family and community.
Brother I love that chapter. I’m bummed to hear we will only get one episode a week but it’s beyond impressive what you do on your own. I’m grateful for whatever you make for us! 🙏
The comedic micro-moments you throw into your videos are gold, keep 'em coming.
Had no idea you are pretty much the solo captain of this ship, darn impressive.
So glad I found you just over 2 years ago. Congratulations on your well deserved success. 🥂
This story still makes me so sad down to this very day. She deserved more than this world had to offer.
Rest in peace, Sasha Krause.
Never worry about your editing, you do an amazing job! Bringing these videos every week, the research, the timing! You are very good at your job, my friend!
I’ve been sick with COViD the last few weeks, my parents too.. it’s like a wave, or more like a roller coaster. But I’ve been binging on your videos and they’ve kept me sane this whole time. I am grateful that my family and I are on the mend and am grateful to you for keeping me company. Thank you Mike! ❤
sorry to hear that. did the vaccine and boosters not help?
Feel better!
@@heyitsalannaluv AWE thank you! This is my first time so pretty scary, but glad I’m on the mend ❤️🩹
You need Paxlovid and a nebulizer Machine that dispenses a steroid for lung congestion. That saved me and my wife’s life. We recovered in 4 days.
@@bjj9711 I am vaccinated. My family too. I even got my last booster in September, the newest one. But unfortunately still got sick somehow. I’m pretty careful too. But thank you for the well wishes! 🥴🤢🤮🤧😷🤒🤕❤️🩹
My heart goes out to Sasha’s heartbroken family and loved ones. May God cover and heal your pain. This is indeed, as your Honor said, senseless.
Just devastating.
I always love hearing Mike's take on a story I've heard of..thank you Mike for all that you do! Everyone have a great weekend!
🙄
Have a beautiful weekend!🐾💙🌞🎶
Thanks - I hope I have a great weekend as well. ❤🎉🎉
No no, Mike's a smack talkin wee bouchle, and a closet bisexual racist.
Oh thank you sooooooooooooooo much. How thoughtful of you. Where's me bucket
The fact that That Chapter is a one man show is absolutely amazing! Your content is some of my favorite true crime content. I am excited to have deeper dive videos to see. Even if it will mean I will miss my weekly scheduled videos.
Ahhh, another evening relaxing to the tune of good ole Give it a GOO! This story is so sad, I love that Mike releases stories that I rarely see covered. Thank you for all your time and the energy you put in to your work🙂
Thank you sir, I love the longer episodes and I’m happy to share this experience once a week. You’re an amazing person sir.
Mike, I love the idea that you’ll be doing one episode a week from now on. It’s a win-win because the episodes will be longer and you can avoid burnout and have time to breathe between episodes. Awesome! 👍😎
You hit the nail on the head when you said there’s more to this story. I also think there was some deep rooted trauma that he endured as a child, possibly at the hands of a woman or his mother. I say that bc he picked Sasha, a woman. (Although he was possibly abused by men and women or just a man and only chose Sasha bc she was a victim of opportunity). But i think you’re right about that. Very sad case 😢
he may have been abused or maybe his psyche just magnified smaller things in his childhood , maybe he picked up ways of thinking from the culture that reinforced the perceived injury . i often wonder how we can kill a million iraqis and call each other heroes without any repercussions , add economic inequality, single shooter games, prestige tv ( sopranos)`a whole host of manichean cultural ideas. surprised it doesn't happen more often. not an excuse just saying america is weird
Or he targeted her because she was a mennonite woman and he had sadistic sexual frustrations he wanted to enact on a perceived virgin woman (same way pedos think)and uses trauma to excuse himself.
I think you do an absolutely phenomenal job with "That Chapter." Take your time doing what you do best, Mike. 🥰 Those who love you will support you, whether it is one video a week or twenty vids a week. You genuinely are a truly fantastic Content Creator. I have always loved the quality of your shows. I am sure they are going to be even more remarkable than they were before your announcement. And... now we have a big surprise coming our way too! 😯😎😊 What a great way to end things on as well!
Looking forward to seeing what you have in store for us, Mike.
Take care, my friend!
💜☠💜
Mike is excellent but he also knows he needs to post once or twice a week because you can't grow a UA-cam channel without doing that. He's got this down to a science doesn't he
@@manleynelson9419 He sure does, Manley. One cannot successfully last on UA-cam for five years without having a proper game plan. Plus, he has such a perfect sense of humor that pairs perfectly with all of his narration. I love it!
Believe US Mike. We know you do all your work and we appreciate the hell out of you for doing it. You the best homie. Take your time and keep putting out the good s#@t! Peace, Mike out.
We will always be here waiting for the next Chapter to “Give it a Gooo!”. Content such as yours is hard to find, you breath such life into the stories you tell. You get us “invested” in these cases. You are a true artist, and thank you for all of your hard work……..
yeah... what he said.
Big Hugs & Lotsa Love to ya Mike
I couldn't have said it any better!
*breathe ♥️
I am so stoked to see what your next chapter brings!! And man doing this for 5 years all by yourself is unbelievable and absolutely incredible!!! I hope you find days to relax and and take care of yourself and again can't wait to see what comes next!
Same here!✊♥️
I don't care how often you upload, just that you are happy with what you do and that I have you occasionally be part of my day, as you bring light to cases that deserve it.
In the end, I am looking forward to what you'll do, because I'm confident that whatever it is, as long as you are happy doing it, it'll be fantastic!
Keep up the great job!
Another important case that I wouldn't have ever heard about if not for you!
Thank you for telling us her story 💔..... I hope that evil S.O.B is currently rotting behind bars & is as miserable as he can possibly be! Another great presentation Mike! Looking forward to more of your upcoming cases! Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦❤️
My gosh… this just totally blows my mind 😮 the fact that he had so much HATE in his heart for this group of people!! And poor Sasha just happened to be in a position where she was vulnerable to fall victim to this crime. If only she had taken a friend with her that night.. we wouldn’t be listening to this horrific story 😢
If she had taken a friend with her, then her killer would likely have taken her friend with her.
What's sad is that he was a American soldier. What a trash human.
You can just see the pure innocence in her face. That just hurts my heart knowing that light has been extinguished in such a brutal, ugly manner.
I wasn't aware you did all of this yourself. More props, man. Love you!!
Ahhh, yes. I heard of this case from the trial. It’s extremely disappointing how folks take their anger out on innocent people.
I had zero idea you were almost entirely a one-man-band. It seemed like you were an entire production based on the quality of your videos! I fully support you pulling back a little. You're a fantastic creator and personality. Keep up the awesome work!
Agree!
Me too
Thanks Mike, you do such an excellent job with these.. you manage to slip in the subtle humor where it’s not inappropriate.. it makes some of these stories a little bit easier to take in.. and.. you give the right amount of derision to the people who deserve it..
You’re appreciated…
Congrats on your incredible journey and your accomplishments in such a short time. You deserve it w/ that witty humor, well researched and presented cases, and of course, the insurance dance.
Although you cover such horrific crimes you are able to insert dark humor with which helps lighten the mood. Thank you And with much respect to those that have passed and to the family that suffers as well. Rip 🙏
The fact that you do all of this alone is unreal. I watch and rewatch your videos all the time, you do such an incredible job on this channel. Well done.
I'm so glad that you are going to be spending more time researching each case and doing longer videos, even if you will only be releasing one video a week from now on.
You are one of the few true crime content creators on YT that appears to do what you do with relative ease. I can tell that you enjoy it, but I'm sure a lot of hard work goes into the content you put out every week. I'm happy about this change and I think it's going to be a good one:)
Hey, if you’re hiring, I’ve got research skills 😊
You mean spending more time on researching cases that are of non white victims. This channel is literally missing white woman syndrome.
Never thought this was a one-man channel. It's so good which really just shows how talented you are! Keep it up, Mike!
Happy holidays Mike 🎉 Your work has brought me so much shock, joy, and awareness that I’ll die alone without any life insurance. Love you Mike!
LOL this comment !
🤣
I quite literally don't understand why anyone ever has life insurance
Life insurance.... it gets ya killed.. 🕺
Do not let anyone talk you into getting life insurance! Then quickly cut ties with the person that recommended getting life insurance.
I started watching you at under 10,000 subs and you've developed and evolved in a wonderful way. It's hard to believe you're largely a one-man band. I look forward to what's next.
I never thought I’d get a video of a case from where I actually live. It was pretty amazing to see the community get so involved with the search and how the tragedy brought the town together. Definitely not the outcome everyone was hoping for and always condolences.
One of my favorite crime channels ever! Only one I give my time to, and cannot wait for what you have in store Mike!
I just popped in to add: isn’t it surreal to see your own hometown in a Mike video?? It’s happened to me a couple times (hmm, what does that say about where I live? Lol. Anyways, I’ve been a loyal TC watcher for almost the entire 5 years now & he just keeps getting better. Have a great night. Take care.
Sounds like there is some dysfunctional family dynamics involved that spurred the perp to commit this senseless murder. RIP Sasha; a pity that you were randomly victimized . Looking forward to your new formatting plans, Mike. Whatever works for you works for us! Thanks for posting all your interesting cases.
It is amazing to me, that I have been watching Mike since fairly early days, and I have NO IDEA of any single fact of his personal life. Nothing beyond nationality...absolutely nothing:) Fantastic job, Mike. You deserve to make whatever choices you want. I'll be here for it. TY.
Mike, you're always appreciated. I can only imagine the pressures of producing your show. Well done work. Don't forget that we love you, too!
Good timing about the once a week thing. I imagine the Delphi case will eventually need a lot of research once the details come out. Thanks for everything you do, Mike. 🙏🏻
Curious how those who "have a grudge" and want to harm someone almost never choose a "bad person". Wonder why that is. So glad they caught the culprit. RIP Sasha. Sidenote: always thought Mike had a whole team behind TC like most yt channels so i'm amazed and surprised by Mike's efforts and talent! Can't wait for the Next Chapter of That Chapter.
Because they’re cowards
@@feelthejoy Yes exactly! I was just about to write that same thing.
Yes cowards and maybe also jealous of their good hearts and loving attitude
Because a "bad person" probably knows how to fight back and defend themself.
Mike is the best storyteller I have ever listened to... did I say how witty he is? Love this channel.
Hey Mike it's sad to hear that we're only going to get to hear from you once a week, but great to hear that the stories will be longer. Can't wait to see what the surprise is that you have in store for us in the, hopefully, not too distant future. As always thank you for all of your hard work making these stories for us. Keep safe and remember we love ya.
No matter what changes you make, I’m a subscriber for life. Loved your stories, you have the smart kooky way of telling them. You are funny and I love you for that…please keep ‘em coming. Something to look forward each week. Makes a stressful busy life worthwhile ….Power on, Mike!🍀
Honestly, I was flabbergasted as to how you posted twice a week while making such great content. I'm so excited for the future of the channel!
I think some people are just good old fashioned crazy. There isn't always an explanation.
Thank you for all that you do and I appreciate your hard work in creating this content.
So thrilled TC took on Sasha's case!!!! It was so unnderreported, it was one the 2 cases I've recommend over the last 2 years & both my recs made the cut here! Sasha's case has given me a new understanding of the Amish, & her poem was beautiful
@༺Joe's-girl༻ I'm not tol familiar with either, can you tell me a bit about the huge differences?
@༺Joe's-girl༻ Not so much. Does it mean that one group believes they're guaranteed/entitled to go onto greener pastures?
@༺Joe's-girl༻ It does, it kind of sounds like Catholicism vs. Pentecostals.Pentecostal.. I went to both Catholic School & Pentecostal school & people also think they're the same (Christian) but I assure you each were a very different experience/learning criteria.
Thanks 😊
@༺Joe's-girl༻ and to add one more thing.... you'd think that since the Mennonites are the ones who believe in assurance, he'd be on his best behavior. He clearly believes ZIP about the faith, unlike his ridiculous claims about why he visited the area. Very damaged man.
🤔 You two have such a similar writing style it looks like you're talking to yourself. That plus the fact that most people would explain the difference by saying that Mennonites use phones and electricity and stuff but Amish don't. Just makes it seem like one person is using two accounts to spread some Christian propaganda and try to "win souls". The vocabulary and phrases are straight out of one of those tracts that Christians give to waitresses instead of a tip.
Mike, “I hear ya barking big dawg,” but my heart sank when you said only once a week… THEN, I heard the rest from “Future Mike” 🤣 and I am so happy! I cannot hardly wait to dive in to what you’ve been working on!
You are such an amazing creator, THE BEST on YT (In my opinion) and you have no idea how you’ve helped me through some hard days! Your family and friends are so lucky to be able to spend time with you because, your personality is genuine and you truly are one of a kind! Keep shining bright, much love from crazy ole’ Florida 😂
Dee H I share your sentiments. Mike has helped me heaps also & I’m sure many people around the world. Jami from Boise always comes to my mind. Her story resonated with me too. (Comment on another episode that has stayed with me, now you!😊)True crime, his great sense of humour, positivity,Irish accent & wonderful personality, Mike has it all in spades. I’m in Perth Western Australia 🇦🇺 & really look forward to each new episode. Some super people leave inspiring comments. We need more of this in the world. In Mike’s words….”Let’s give it a g-o-o-o-o!!!”🥰😉😂
The likeminded ‘Dee’s’!😉😊All the very best to you,my namesake, over there in Florida.👍🏻
@@deew1215 such a nice comment, it’s the simple things… you just truly made me smile! 😉 I wish you a great weekend!
@@deew1215 you said it perfectly! So very true! I know he receives lots of comments but, I really hope he knows at least half of those he has truly helped, in many ways! And, we need more uplifting people such as yourself in the world! Thanks for reading my comment and being so kind!
P.S. “Let’s give it a g-o-o-o-o,” really made me laugh out loud! 😂 love it!
I'm excited for all the upcoming changes. I have loved to watch the growth of the channel. Thank you, Mike, for all the amazing content.
I always love to see this channel move forward and try new things. Mike has developed a unique style over the years and is organized like a very well oiled machine. It's really impressive what he has achieved so far. So I'm excited to see what's next. :)
Greetings from Germany
Honestly congrats for holding down two vids a week primarily on your own for this long. Your quality never faltered and I'd have thought you had an editing team standing behind you with how well the content always comes out! Be well my guy love what you do over here
I mean this guy gets paid to make UA-cam videos it's not exactly hard at all. Love the channel just saying.
@@GrimNephilim getting all of that actual news footage, 911 call audio, compiling it into a start to finish story, twice a week? Wouldn't say that is easy. Just the filming himself is probably relatively simple tho agreed
@@extendedblundering ok yeah. I'll give it to him.
@@GrimNephilim not easy at all dude to keep up this type of content twice a week consistently. Would like to see you be consistent with two videos per *month* of this quality and see if you still say that.
It honestly makes Mike addictive true crime channel all the more impressive , the fact that it's a one man show. There's YTers out there with a full editing team and their videos aren't half the quality, or as unique as That Chapter. I also like Mr Ballen but he isn't different kind true crime/mystery channel. Also very unique we really knows how to tell a story and that's exactly what he does.
I am so glad he was caught. He was a monster and I feel like if he got away with it he could have become a serial killer. He had no connection to this person just that she was apart of something he hated so he took her life. RIP to Sasha and I hope that her family can find peace knowing the monster was locked away. On another note I’m excited to see what changes you have for your channel in the future Mike. I’ll be here rooting for you and anticipating the new video.
Do you think he was just a pure psycho or did something really happen to make him hate this religious group so hard? I kind of agree with mike, it would be strange to harbor so much hate for no reason 🤔
I think his upbringing had something to do with who he became as an individual. however I don't believe it's the only factor. There is plenty of debate on what creates a psychopath. Nature or nurture. Bundy, Gacy and Jeffrey Dahmer. countless books argue what makes a serial killer. I'm thankful that whatever it is that makes an individual act on such atrocious impulses I was spared.
Thought the same! This guy def. seems like a serial killer in mindset. He took out his anger on Mennonites as did his brothers, but I doubt his bros had ideas on killing anyone. Just going to randomly kill someone on your own, driving like 7+ hrs away to do so, seems to be less of a hate crime and more of just a killer looking for a victim to kill. He probably would have killed again if not caught; mind have even killed before and not been caught.
You should be so proud of yourself! For a one man show, your channel if fantastic! Thank you for the great content and I look forward to longer stories! The change is going to be great! ❤
No worries, bro! We appreciate all your hard work bringing these cases to light. Whether it’s once or twice a week. Looking forward to watching more videos with you!
A few years back my brother recommended Mike because he knows I love true crime. I’ve been here ever since. Out of all the true crime channels on UA-cam, Mike is the best. He’s always pushing our content! He never disappears on us!!!! (Damnit Bailey, I was rooting for you.) love you Mike!!!!!
I don’t like only once a week but as long as you stick around all is good. Thanks for all you do, your crime storytelling is riveting and a little humor thrown in! Love ‘ya Mike Out 😉
Mike , I look forward to longer content and greater indepth videos. Don't worry we'll be here eagerly awaiting your fabulous story telling.
I always listen to the end for the "I love ya." It's something that helps a lot of people. Love ya too Mike and well done.

I'm really happy for how much this channel has grown. Definitely very deserving.
