He Lures Men to the Woods to Play his SICK GAME
Вставка

- Men started disappearing in the Ohio woods, and they had been going there following up on an advert on Craigslist to watch over a farm. When one man emerged, barely escaping with his life, the police went in. What they found were many graves, and one psychopath. But he did have help.

I saw another story on this case where Tim Kern’s sons were interviewed. They said that once when they were kids their dad was supposed to come visit them, but his car broke down. They were disappointed that they weren’t going to see him, but several hours later he showed up- on a bicycle! He borrowed one from a friend of his just so he could see his sons. I wanted everyone to know how much he truly loved his kids!
Thank you for that info. It gives me a mixed feeling of, I'm not sure happy/sad are the right words used to describe the feeling but its the best I can come up with. It makes his death a little sadder, but also gives a little depth to the victim.
What a sweet father...
@@janedoe5048 I cried the first time I heard that. It does make it sadder.
🙏😢
Thank you for that
This is such a sad case. These poor men were just looking to get their lives back on track with a new beginning. And to have it end by a couple of psychopaths is horrific.
Exactly… it broke my heart. I wonder how people like this can exist
I know, I'm really affected by this one
Devil lives inside all of us. Unfortunately a few people can not suppress it.
@@cxgsh2321 No, he doesn't. If you find the idea of doing evil in any way appealing, then you need to get help.
By luring them into the woods. 😂
Can we take a moment to appreciate Scott Davis' bravery & cleverness, outwitting a man who had grown confident in his killing abilities & was in a location familiar to him?
Scott had nerves of steel to lay low in an unknown location while losing blood from his wound, & then had the physical & mental strength to find a house amongst that wilderness during nightfall so he could survive & sound the alarm for others. I'm sure some of it was instinctual but it still is impressive & courageous.
Good on you Scott. I wish you peace.
reminds me of Kara Robinson Chamberlain. She was Kidnapped and escaped a serial killer. When I hear her describe how she slipped out of bed while he slept, and how she slowly and carefully made her way until she was able to fling the door open and run with all her might to safety. HOW... I would have frozen in fear.
@@sarabobara8458
Or that other girl who called the police while the monster was asleep.
@Kim Moran that one was wild. Dude was in the room with her
@@idkmybffjill9682
With a taser! It’s unimaginable!
I wonder if his instincts kicked it right before the gun jammed? It’s incredibly quick thinking with balls of steel to slap a gun away as it took aim to fire
Fun fact: I was one of the people who responded to the ad. I lived in nky at the time and was 18 and needed to get out of my parents place. The dude was super chill over the phone but refused to let me live on the property because I was "to young" and he was looking for someone more "trustworthy and older". And I legit begged this dude at one point to let me stay ok the property and work (I have farm hand experience) I didn't know what he had done till last year and had a panic attack at work.
Wow. I don't think you were "too young" as he told you. I think what he really meant was "you're too young because your parents will come looking for you." Scary freaking thought. As my mom always said, there's a silver lining behind every dark cloud. What seemed like a dark cloud to you at the time (not getting the job because you were too young), was actually the silver lining, the God smack that saved your life.
@@BeRightBack131 I'm pretty sure what he really meant was "you're too young to have personal property that I can sell/you're too young for me to assume your identity"
This is why you always carry and are fully aware of your surroundings.
Jesus H Christ. That is beyond insane. Glad you made it out of there. Hope life is treating you great.
You’re making this up. Lying for attention
Seeing all those men's photos really tugged my heart strings. You can tell life had worn on them, I hope they're at peace now. Life can be tough, but I'm grateful we're all still here to fight another day, hang in there everyone
♥️ so well put. thanks a lot.
Nice virtue signaling.
It hurts my heart too
@@millardf452 if you're serious i feel sorry for you

When this killer stated at the end of this video, that he had killed NOBODY, what he was actually saying was that he had killed several nobody`s. What a horrible mean spirited man. All of his victims were loved by their people, and were not nobody`s.
Richard Beasley is just a monster. He didn’t care that he killed 3 innocent men & attempted murder on Scott or ruined Brogan’s life; course Brogan is also evil for taking part in these crimes
Yeah, it’s kind of like “double-speak”…. We should always be paying attention to people’s words and how they are saying it… A lot of sociopathic people talk like that
Nobody's what?
Yeah he was the “nobody “. Just plain wrong to do that to someone.
I absolutely agree. What a horrible individual. May his victims rest in peace.
every murder case is tragic for the victims, but this one broke my heart in a particular way. Maybe because the men were just... so excited for their opportunity and filled with hope for their future, and then shot in the back of the head. Their last thoughts were thinking of the ways their life would get better, for themselves or their loved ones. Maybe that should be comforting... but I'm sad.
So so true. Ohh man but ya that's kinda comforting to know
True. Heartbreaking.
True but they might have also been carrying some more powerful, more dominant negative self loathing energy from before which helped them fall prey to, well, a predator. I always get flack for the idea that energy creates situations but it’s science really. It’s still horrific, wrong and sad! Stay positive!
That's exactly how I feel. The child murders normally get me. But these men and their optimism is so sweet and heartbreaking.
I'm struggling with that same feeling rn. They seemed like really good, honest guys, especially that father of 3. So, so tragic 😞
I grew up in Noble Co. And these murders took place on land next to ours!! It is something that I will NEVER forget!! Its beyond heartbreaking.
The attitude of Beasley's Mother sure explains a whole hell of a lot. She's been making excuses for him for his entire life.
Mothers who never cut the umbilical cord are abominable!
.... hey! In fact she might be saying that because she remote controls him via an etheric
umbilical connection, and SHE IS THE TRUE WITNESS...
(I've been watching a few episodes of the "Xfiles " too many last night maybe..... hey! Get that probe out of my cat's ass! Your grey alien abductors manager is going to hear about that!....Sorry but i have to get a chip inserted in case i wander off the planet. My cat's got his....
Oh! How much? I have a medical insur... get off my room you little interdimentional ripoff artists...)

Mmh? Oh god i sleeptexted again!
Dude brought a child into his deeds
Rot!
damn right david
shes a crazy lady
Think you might have that a little backwards, not making excuses but rather the poor upbringing in the first place, was the road to where this all ended. Many people get confused about that, think someone can just turn 18 and unlearn all the crap their parents filled their head with, but more often than not, turning 18 just means an additional threat of homelessness as a means of control, which many can escape by finding employment but cost of living went up more than minimum wage and many areas, pre-covid were short on livable wage paying jobs, especially if you're a fat lazy psycho-fvsk like our killer.
that's a coping mechanism, she just can't accept the truth, there is no alternative for her, other one is unthinkable horror
Nicely done.
His daughter actually talked about him on Evil Lives Here. It’s so strange to see familiar cases (and some unfamiliar ones) from the perspective of people who knew them in their private lives. She feels guilty for teaching him how to use Craig’s List.
REALLY!?!?… Do you know what season and episode?! I’d love to see that one…
That is so incredibly sad.
Do you have the name and/or season number of that Evil Lives there episode? I'd love to watch it.
@@LotsofLisa sorry had the show wrong. Monster in My Family, Season 2, Ep 4, title The Craigslist Killer.
That's heartbreaking. It's so NOT her fault. He would have found some way to find his victims once he decided he wanted to kill, with or without CL. I hope she finds some peace one day... 🌹
It's incredibly disturbing to know how much effort the killers put into researching their victims and the lengths they went to in order to render them helpless. I'm guessing they staged the "job interviews" beforehand to ensure the men they were luring into the woods weren't armed and had no nearby friends or relatives who could have helped save them. Makes me sick.
You can see how easily he was able to use his religious rhetoric to brainwash that clueless shmuck brogan
People can excuse all kinds of heartless brutality if you couch it in your bible thumping nonsense
These poor guys didn't deserve to get their lives cut short like this, a horrible waste
I wonder what was the MAIN motive... getting all the victims stuff and fence it to buy groceries and pills or the kick of blasting some unknown guy in the back of the head ( i fail to find why one can find to pleasure in doing that... but well some get off on getting whipped raw which i also find weird... hell ! If you want to be whipped , do it yourself for free! If you want to put bullets in brains use your own for pete's sake! -sorry again I don't know what came over me. I'm going to drink a pint of laxative , it always brings me such joy...)
@@PIERRECLARY Very little monetary gain there.
They sound like government employees! Render the people powerless - through corrupt actions - then go for the metaphorical kill.
@@PIERRECLARY Satan doesn't need a reason to do what it knows best.....may these brothers RIP.
It just blows me away how people like him can look people in the eye and say ‘I didn’t kill anyone’, when the evidence is clear. Just pathetic. Another episode well done, Mike!
He would make a good Washington elite.
Nobody bc he considered those poor people nobody's
Well, they can't lie to God!
I honestly feel like crying right now. Seeing their words and how excited they were to grab this opportunity and start over.. this world is way too evil. :(
The world is corrupted.
You can say that again.
I honestly feel the evil outnumbers the good.🤘🏻
Nothing's changed, there's just shitloads more of us on the planet and we hear about crimes more now. Always have been good and bad, always will be.
lots of folks like that out there. Be kind to people
This is depressing. I just cannot understand this evil. People 'on the margin' are not worthless. My prayers to their families.
Exactly my thoughts and feelings at this moment. Reading the ad for this job must have felt like such a good opportunity. My heart hurts.

@@atmywhitson I don't understand why people are like that (the one giving people shit about virtue signalling). I think they learn these catchy phrases and love to use them whenever they can. It's lazy and lame and no one cares. I love your reply!
These guys were excited about the opportunity and willing to work hard and start fresh. It's so horrible that this happened to them. I only hope that they didn't realise it was coming (from the way Mike described it the only reason the victim that survived knew was because the gun misfired) and died dreaming of a golden opportunity and excitement for the future.
For those looking for jobs, some advice - if they offer to take you in their vehicle somewhere, decline, anything could happen, you could end up stranded, you could be taken advantage of, you could be attacked, point is something could happen to you and you’d have no escape. Ask if you can follow in your own vehicle (if you trust him/her enough to follow with your own vehicle), if he/she acts sketchy, tries to convince you to go in his/her car, gets aggro, then somethings immediately not right. Just don’t get into his/her car if he/she offers to take you somewhere, you dunno what kind of crazies you’ll come across in life.
Oh such an important advice. Would be never skeptical if someone would insist in me driving with him instead of using my own car i got with me. thx.
I was selling a tv on Craigslist a woman answered the ad bought the tv and now 6 years later we are married 🤷🏻♂️ strange world I guess it’s no different than meeting someone at the Grocery store and less sleazy than a bar i guess 🤷🏻♂️
@@TheVioletBunny 6 years ago my wife went to buy a tv she found on craigslist, she never came back
@@TheVioletBunny So she got everything else of yours for the price of a tv, smart woman
great advice, if you have a vehicle.
The second guy wrote a really nice email. I would’ve hired him based on that email. He’s got his own tools and truck and seems like he’s ready to work. I feel really bad because I know what being out of work is like and it can be depressing. I truly feel depressed for the second dude. Honestly, reading that email makes me tear up. Poor fucking guy.
Completely agree. Not a lot of lucky breaks waiting around for guys like him, but he didn't complain. He just seemed happy to be able to put to use what he had to offer. I similarly thought that I'd hire him in a second. Thinking of how he must've felt, going from the relief of finally catching a break to the cruel reality of why he'd been brought out there is one of many reasons I hope he's left this weary world for someplace he can finally rest -- and know that Richard will not be joining him.
@@jacksyoutubechannel4045 Beautifully stated.
Especially when the tools cost an arm and a leg.
yeah this story is so tragic. people who murder people are detrimental to us all
thanks for the video Mike, we gave it a go, sometimes most of the time it's really sad.. but he still covers them. bravo Mike (clap clap)
My husband answered a Craigslist ad for yard work, our oldest was graduating, and we needed the cash. He met a nice man, who is actually a Dr at the local hospital. The two of them were talking about how both their wives were true crime fans, and were scared they both would be murdered. We became friends, but answering those ads is scary.
My brother has used it many times about 70 percent pay lol
I met my wife on Craig’s list lol (true story no it wasn’t a sex ad) she answered an add selling a tv lol
imagine some funny Dialoges like "soooo....Jeff....ever...uhm thought of killing somebody - i mean moving the lawn?" - "what? uhm no yes I mean....did you...ever...got carried away making ground beef i mean keeping the ground clear?" o_o
My coworker sells her parents furniture on criagslist. She got me into it cause my parents were moving anyways so we were trying to sell as much and as fast as we can. There was always family around when we sold and we lived in front of a busy high traffic street. Most people who bought stuff were all normal.
We e we by uhh ft
I watched an ID show about this case not long ago and Scott Davis is interviewed and tells the story of his experience in the woods and it was chilling. They actually came close to finding him at one point, but Scott hid really well. He could see them even. I can’t remember the name but it was a harrowing story. Thanks for the great video and giving those victims a voice.
I believe you are referring to the show "Web of Lies".
Yeah he hid in a hollow log and his phone beeped.
That's terrifying 😭💔
I wonder how many of them almost survive 💔
The guy that survived definitely is a hero.
@@mrcommonsense9074 I wouldn't say he's a hero, but he's certainly one of the most fortunate people I've ever heard of, to the point of possible divine intervention.
Richard’s daughter, Tonya, was 17 when the murders happened and has reached out to survivors / family of the victims of her dad. She has guilt / blames herself for her dads idea/actions because she helped set up his account and taught him how to use it because he said he was gonna use it to sell stuff because I guess at the time he was low on cash. Scott Davis met with her and he told her he doesn’t blame her at all… Like stuff like that eats at me. Because I sometimes forget to think about the family of the offender and what they think and feel. Poor Tonya feeling this way because he dad is a sick f*ck who abused what she was taught him.
I remember hearing about a case in the UK where the late teenage son of the perpetrator, of multiple crimes against girls, was at the trial and was visibly finding all the horrors difficult to take in - and the family of one of the victims approached him and strongly reassured him that he was not responsible for what his father had done, he was his own good person and they comforted and befriended him - they could see how much he was suffering too. The son said how much it had helped him cope.

Hey Mike. I'm Ruwi from Sri Lanka.
There have been a few insane murders (specially children) in our country during the last couple of years that I think are worth covering!
There was a traveling bag murder with an insane plot twist in March 2021 that just shook the entire nation to an extent, parents were extra cautious when sending their daughters out for ANYTHING!
Do take a look into it and cover it with a video if possible!
Love your content! And much love to you. 🖤
Is their a convicted murderer? And is there decent documentation of the victims?
It's not as interesting when it happens daily. 😂 JS.
Up vote. Lol. But seriously. I'd love to see him cover the incidents you are talking about. More people need to talk them.
This one really hit me. All these victims seemed like really good people and hard workers. I found the story of the man living in the homeless shelter to be especially sad. RIP.
Honestly that was the worst murder in this. All were truly horrific, but that one just got me.
These people deserve hell both on earth and the after life.
me too. especially the one coming from the shelter... thinking his luck was getting better.. I feel stabbed in the heart.

This was one of the tough ones to watch… bc of how helpless the victims were. They genuinely thought they were about to turn their lives around for the better. Richard… you can tell he’s hella insecure. Took advantage of the weakness of other men. Ugh. I wish everyone here well. Take good care of yourself even when it feels hard to do. Thats when you should push harder! Remember this is your one shot in life. Make good timing of it ♥️
Edit: I didn’t expect my comment to reach so many ppl. Thank you all for the positive comments ♥️i encourage everyone to continue these positive notions in your daily lives especially during a time as wary as now. Keep pushing!
all these Facebook inspiration posts today
Thank you
I needed to read your words. They're unique to me right now xx
Great comment!
How can you tell he is insecure with like less than 5 minutes of footage?
My dad still uses craigslist and we have to constantly tell him that "if it sounds too good, it probably is." Also if you meet someone through any site ALWAYS bring someone else with you (if you can) & if you can't make sure it's in a public place. If they try to drive you somewhere in their own car that's a huge red flag, say no thanks and get out. This is such a tragic case, I hope those men are finally at peace. Stay safe you guys.
“get out” how about don’t get into a strangers car in the first place?
@@mouthwashlisterine2104 i didn't mean get out of the car lol i just meant get out (away) from the situation altogether.
There are police stations that allow you to make your Craigslist, Facebook marketplace, etc transactions there.
@@cornhole3way694 In our town we have a dollar general right across the street from the police station people use for online selling and Facebook marketplace
@@Elizabeth-qf9hb lol that read both ways to me. I don't know why but your comment being read as though you are saying to just get out of the car is hilarious to me. I feel like a terrible person now.
Richard comes rolling into the court room in a wheel chair complaining about not getting pain meds 🤦 This coming from a man that weeks earlier walked out in the woods to murder, maybe or maybe not helped dig the graves, but definitely helped put the victims in the graves and then covered them up. 🙄 I'm sure Richard really needed that wheel chair, and I hope he is in pain and going through withdrawals. Richard deserves anything and everything he gets.
I thought that too. From one person who has gone through wd's - I usually have a lot of empathy for others - not in this instance. I hope it has been every bit as shakey, pukey, anxious, nauseous, depressed, sweaty, freezing, and miserable as it could be.
...expecting sympathy when none was given. I say suffer.
It is sad to imagine how many millions of lives were taken or ruined by opioids... Directly and indirectly. Pharmaceutical companies have become dens of demons feeding off the pain and suffering of those who put their trust in the meds they provide.
As a ex addict myself I agree I feel bad for people going through withdrawal but not this one😊
I once had to hide in the woods at night to escape my attacker. This one brings back some strong memories. Another great video, Mike. Thank you so much for all your hard work bringing these stories to life.
More details !
Glad to know you got away.
I am glad you are ok and I am sorry you had to go through something so scary
Good Heavens! Glad you’re here to tell it
That sounds terrifying. At night, the woods change. It’s easy to get lost but amazing you outsmarted the a$s- The canopy of trees also make it so dark. I used to practically live on trails, usually hiking alone. My rule was be In my car leaving at 4:00 pm because that next hour gets dark and cold super fast. Were you hiking and have emergency stuff?

Craigslist isn’t the problem…. never tell an online stranger you’re a loner without many friends and family. NEVER meet them alone. If a job or place is secluded and out of town you should also make some calls to public officials in that area to verify the facts. That monster was infuriating. I’m sure he’s buried more than 4 bodies.
trust noone..
In other words, use some common sense.
Most meetings goes well tho..
Its probably less than 1% where stuff like this happens.
Make some calls to public officials in the area to verify the facts of Craigslist. Lol do you even live in america?
300 dollars a week, 1200 a month, with housing, for feeding some cows and overlooking a farm... does sound almost too good to be true :(
Brogan is a family member… and I haven’t seen him since he was about 9/10 years old. Such a respectful intelligent little boy….
He didn’t have the best upbringing or childhood he deserved, but I would have never thought he would have got involved with this psycho and help him do this. I still continue to pray for all of the victims and their families.
It’s tragic. Maybe it’s an unpopular opinion but I question if life without parole was really the right sentence considering all of the circumstances and his age
@@FlashmanVCyeah it’s too much
Thanks Mike. Saddest part of this story is that men (and women) looking to improve their situation were taken advantage of by this predator.

I am from Ohio; I live in Florida. Since your video is 80 percent compromised of murders from these two states, I am an avid subscriber. I have seen EVERY video that you have put out and never left a comment.
That said, I found this case particularly heartbreaking. To kill under the guise of a job, especially in an area that is so economically distressed… This is true evil. My only hope is that this man doesn’t sit on death row forever. Take him out and be done with him!
As a fellow Buckeye, born and raised, I am disgusted by the horrific crimes in this state. We are also #3 in Human Trafficking and in the top three for drugs. My county is OVERRUN by drugs and trafficking. The public has No Idea!

It only cheered you up cause something in your routine is still the same. It is incredibly odd to be cheered up about a video about people being murdered.
That's called the "7 year itch" and some of us make it... others don't! Wish me luck, my fiance and I are coming up on 7yrs in October.
How haunting.....to think how many more men might have met this fate if Scott hadn't managed to escape what was planned for him.
Thank Glob that Scott got away! I'm only 12 minutes in, but David's story really pulled at my heartstrings. Just imagining a hard-working man, down on his luck, just trying to catch a break. Then, when he thinks he found one and is counting his lucky stars, he gets unceremoniously murdered for his efforts. All murders are awful, but f*ck - that one really gets me 😭

I was wondering if people would get the reference or if they'd just think I can't spell, lol.
Killing somebody by luring them with hope is just disgusting.
My heart broke when I saw the profiles of the victims, especially the last one who reluctantly left his beloved sons. Beasley's courtroom face radiated nothing but evil.
So sad, all these men wanted was a fresh start and were so excited thinking they landed a great job. Thank you for another great upload Mike!
Thank you, Mike. All the stories are rough but this one touched me a little extra. Maybe it’s just thinking that those poor men must’ve been so hopeful for what seemed like a good opportunity and then it turned out to be just…darkness. Heartbreaking! Take care! 🤗
Exactly my feelings.
Truly heartbreaking that these individuals responded to a random classifieds/Craigslist ad in hopes of a better future.
That emoji after your comment seems a bit off lol
I felt the same way. I actually paused the video to look at each of the men and thought about what they had to be thinking when they each had responded to the ad, thinking they had found exactly what they were needing at that time in their lives. A job, housing, a little cash and a remote location. They had to be excited and relieved to have been selected. How incredibly terrifying that hundreds had replied to the ad. Knowing this streak only ended due to what could be the most lucky event in the most unlucky situation really can make you question fate.
@@zachtooill the "take care" right before it justifies the emoji I suppose
Scott's a badass, so glad he was able to find help in time.
Thanks Mike! Love this channel and recommend it to everyone! Hilarious and respectful!
Thanks Kimberley!! That's so nice of you to say!
I'm sure someone has already mentioned this but this reminds me of the old Ray and Faye Copeland story. They used to hire farm hands who were actually vagrants, have them commit some fraud, and then they would disappear. Anyway, great video Mike!

Disagree. Being "hilarious" is highly inappropriate in regards to the nature of the story. It comes off as taking it lightly and just being disrespectful. I guess you younger generations have lost touch with your moral center to treat real murder as "hilarious".
@@jamiebraswell5520 no. When I say HE is hilarious I mean his ability to make you laugh even though the story is dark and disturbing, generally when he is describing the criminal . But you are entitled to your opinion no matter how convoluted and ridiculous it is. Thank you for getting triggered and taking my compliment and turning it into part of your keyboard crusade against positive people 👏🏻
@@jamiebraswell5520 You can sense people's age through the internet? Woah!
This is such an unbelievably sad case. These poor men were just looking to get their lives back on track, and to have it ended by a couple of psychopaths is truly horrific and heartbreaking.
comment thief lol
Mike, Ive been having some rough days lately (like everyone does from time to time) but binging on your videos really helps me escape with a smile. Thank you for the work you put into these, your humor, and providing entertainment for everyone lucky enough not star in your videos.
Hope everything goes smoothly.
Being an ohioan, all these crazy stories you've told being so close to me is pretty scary.. I thought Florida was crazy but I guess we're right up there too
Mike, have you ever heard or done a story on Ray and Faye Copeland from Mooresville, MO? They picked victims who wouldn't be looked for either.
Scary part for us was we were looking for a place to rent with a house, barn and some pasture. We found out that there was absolutely no contact to be made with barn and pasture. Turns out some of the bodies were buried in that barn.
Great story! I wouldn't be surprised if there weren't more victims.
I believe there are definitely more victims. How sick
Some say that they were they oldest serial killers.
Mike, I’m so glad you covered this case. I’m from Marietta, Ohio and this was a fairly huge deal when the news came out. Richard Beasley used to frequent both the Shoney’s and Bob Evan’s restaurants in Marietta and it’s where he met with all of his victims.
I’m from Fostoria and I spend a lot of time alone camping in Vinton County. It can be creepy there at night sometimes.
Oh, Mike…You know the world has gone way crazy when a story like this one is an escape from reality! Thanks for the break, Bud
No kidding!
I only live about 20 minutes from here and I never heard about this! Much appreciation to you for covering the less heard of stories, Mike. That’s what sets your channel apart from the rest.
Whenever someone talks about Mikes channel I scream and run over I’m obsessed with how he presents these cases. Thank you for your hard work! And for shedding lights for these victims families and the victims stories!
It really is so fun when a friend comes across his channel. I love it!
Love him to.
Without doubt the best story teller out there when covering murder we love you mike too.
@@millardf452 lighten up snowflake we know chill!!
@@millardf452 its to make it more light hearted and not soul crushingly depressing, its still respectful as well
@@Skdjefkrkfnfne he’s done nothing but comment 20+ times similar things. Trolling
John 808 apparently you haven't heard of Mr ballen
@@jwissinboot4898 I have not a fan beat's about the bush to long with alot of over the top exaggerated hand movement plus he's forever "emphasising" thing's mike cuts to the chase get's straight to the story yeah not a fan sorry
Hey Mike. Hope you had a great weekend. So happy it’s Tuesday. Only because it’s TC time. Thanks for making the weeks better with your hard work ❤️
Thanks Sharon!
@@ThatChapter it completely amazes me the things on Craigslist. I’d never even heard of it until some of your stories. I haven’t been on it, I wonder why 😆
@@shazcon71 never heard of Craig’s List? Really? I guess I ought to be envious
@@Android-dd7if what?
Wow. Deleted his comment. What a creep. He won’t be missed
Yes autumn is the best, the leaves, the cool weather, the Halloween decorations, it's just perfect.
“With every rejection, comes a blow to your confidence.”
Precisely what I’m going through atm, thanks for posting and distracting me for a few minutes Mike. Love ya. 🤎
Best of luck to you ☺️
@@dianaquintas thank you 🥺🫶🏼
Hi there take care hugs from Australia 🇦🇺🐨🦘
Go rent a 30 foot straight truck from home depot, or wherever. Drive it around for an hour or 2, just until you're comfortable. Take it to a DMV a take your C-Class license test, imagine a regular driving test, just in a big truck. Apply for driving jobs requiring a C-class license, most have a starting wage of 20ish an hour. After that, save a little cash from your new decent job and find your path. It's what I did, if I can, you definitely can too.
@@imthedevilkys536 Very cool man, I quite enjoy that idea. 🤔
I’m in Canada so it’s a little different, but one closed door leads to another open one, thank you. ✌🏼
I lived 5 years in Noble county Ohio. It is very isolated, farms, a lot of woodlands. My graduating class had maybe 60 kids total. Many people think rural living means quiet and peace but quite alot goes on down there from drugs and breaking and entering to murder. Thanks as always Mike I love your work.
Hey mike! I’ve been having a rough couple days and your videos always cheer me up! Off to give it a Goo! Keep up the great work my friend!!
Hope you feel better soon, Kyle!
@JFQ it's interesting content to take ur mind off life for a while. i don't think anyone feels good hearing about murders, but mike adds his personality to the videos so it isn't *all* negative.
@JFQ it’s a distraction, it can also offer perspective on how much worse things could be. Some people are grateful for what they have or realize things could be worse after watching them. That’s my guess
Take care kyle I hope things improve for u take care 🐨🐨🦘🇦🇺
@JFQ Cause Mike is cute and charming. Duh! Lol
I live only about 20 miles from this area... I think I may have even applied to this ad. I didn't go cause I thought it was a scam. This is why I ALWAYS conceal carry!
I've watched most if not all the cases on this channel, but for some reason found this stuck with me long after. I think it's so sad that all the victims were just looking for a job to get by, some wanted to just be in a better situation- but ended up losing their lives to this sicko. ☹️ On another note we need to get Mike's subs up, come on! ( It's rare he asks!)
Long after he just posted this as u wrote it lol
Hey Mike, How frightening for those everyday men looking for work,well intended people, how devastating for these men and their families.Many blessings on those left behind❤️
What a nightmare running and hiding in the woods from this maniac! That put me on the edge of my seat like a scary movie! Thanks to him surviving it saved other life's. Those guys look creepy as hell! Mikey as I always say I just adore you and love TC so thank you everyone for this awesome podcast and look forward to the next
These poor men just wanted a job to support themselves and their families but the evil monster and his helper just wanted to help themselves by deceit, murder, stealing and lying. RIP
Lol was born and raised in NE Ohio. Near Akron... but been in the south a total of 50+ years.
Love your videos. My youngest son watches you too. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into your videos. We enjoy you... would not be the same without you.
Have a great week young man. And thanks again!
I lived near Cleveland its a busy place
The channel that just keeps on giving. Getting better and more professional every video. Being from Ireland, I do enjoy the Irish humor. Keep it up Mike. We love ye.
Not being from Ireland, but enjoying the humor as well :)
how can you say this channel is "more professional every video" when this man literally makes jokes out of people dying in the most horrifying ways possible.
this guy thinks every murder is hilarious and you guys love him making fun of victims' deaths.
dude looks like he's on estrogen supplements 😂😭
@mVP Thanks brah 😎👍🏼
@@Hello-ig1px he usually makes jokes at the expense of the murderer and is always pretty respectful. You’re just a hater
Man, I feel so bad for Missing Plugin. No one deserves to go out that way.

It's a mistake, the woman's name was Miss Ingplu Gin

“can you think of a time when your opinion of him as ‘someone who wouldn’t harm people’ changed?”
“well, there was that one day when he murdered a man in front of me”
Mike, you're the reason why Tuesday is so awesome.❤
Means a lot, thank you!
👏👏👏👏 Another great episode Mike. Tuesdays and Fridays have been my favorite days of the week for the past two years or longer. Got me through the Pandemic and each day since. Thank you Mike.
Love a loyal fan.
I vaguely remember hearing about this case. Thank you for covering it in depth, the victims deserve to have their stories told.
Also, I love the subtle It's Always Sunny reference. 💖
It was such a relief to hear the police immediately believe the victim and immediately go into overdrive and start an investigation. I’m so tired of the stories where the police are presented with something and they minimize or dismiss the victim. Later it’s learned that they could’ve stopped the murders had they just acted initially.
Hope everyone is having a good week. And for those who aren't. Im wishing the best for you all. Hopefully this week turns around for yah. 💙
Thank you
I appreciate you, Mike. I love watching your older videos, sometimes, just to watch YOUR growth, from a sad or neutral faced MIKE, into such a captivating, informative and fun Podcaster. You are an inspiration in many ways but today, I'd say it's your tenacity! Thanks for being wonderful YOU!
Thank you for the hours of content Mike, and making the week that much better. Hope you’re doing well today 🤍 wishing you and everyone else here peace and happiness 🙏
“he became pepperjack” HAHAHHAHA YES. I’m crying we love a good It’s Always Sunny reference
Thanks Mike.... no long winded explanation from me of how great your channel is or how you brighten up my Tuesday's and Friday's...bolloxed after a day on site, had a shed load of Guinness on way home now in the pit listening to your epic story telling...not looking forward to hangover in morning...and will have to watch this again during the week 😀 👍
Toooo relatable
Lol more of a single malt guy myself but every other word of this hits every fiber of my very existence. Cheers sir
I watched “Web of Lies” coverage of this case & it’s truly disturbing how this plan unfolded. They even had Scott tell his story on how he was lured out by Beasley & surviving the attempt on his life. Horrifying for all involved (both alive and deceased)
Thanks Mike! Just in time for me to relax. Spent the morning cleaning my home. Love from NJ as usual❤
May these men all be Resting Peacefully. 💙
I have heard about this case before - heartbreaking ! The way this was presented was so respectful and made those lost men 's stories come to life. May the rest in peace
This day has been rough. Just lost my best friend to gun violence last night. But here you are with a new video! Definitely just made my day a little bit better
I'll pray for you.
im so sorry for ur loss ❤️❤️ glad this video could help u even if it's just a bit
I’m so sorry for your loss, sending healing strength and huge amounts of love to you and there family 😓💕💕
Very sorry for your loss .. you wanna share what happened with your friend? Only if that's alright with you. I can understand what you must be going through right now. Happened to me not once but twice unfortunately.
I’m so very sorry
My man “Tree Turdy” always coming through so much I can set my clock to him! I’ve seen this story on a couple different broadcast channels and until now was kinda boring but Mikey nails it and legit grabs my attention and doesn’t have me wondering if it’s ever going to end! Great job Mike, I along with everyone else loves you too and want great things for you and your family!
There was something about this one that hit me in my heart… I’m from SC and I remember when this happened. I never realized there were so many victims.
Thanks for all you do- you’re the shit… best true crime channel on YT, imho- stay safe and happy ;)
I'm from Marietta and I remember when this whole thing happened. Things like this rarely happen in tiny communities like ours or Noble County so it definitely sent shock waves throughout them.
Craigslist isn't totally useless. There are a lot of items for sale on there, which you can safely purchase if you handle your transactions in a totally public, busy place. I adopted my hairless cat, Kenny, from Craigslist on April 28, 2008. He was the best thing that ever came into my life, and I miss him every day. R.I.P. Kenny Pooh (July 4, 2006 - September 26, 2019).
Aaah so glad Kenny had a god life with you till the end.
@@brendaprice665 Thank you ❤️
Still the only channel that I can be enlightened on the world around me with reliable information....WITHOUT getting clinically depressed or having an existential crisis after the fact. 2022 is pretty fucked right up, but at least we have a vibey murder channel host.
What a sentence.
I enjoy Crime Zone also. I know YT is causing them stress right now but they give their information almost like a news station. Clear and concise without any drama. I love the way Mike tells his stories and Mr. Ballen. So few good ones without a huge amount of cursing.
@@lorawiese5897 Try Coffehouse Crime as well, that's a very chill one and quite similar to this channel.
What is very sad to me is his diminished emotional response. When he said he "killed nobody " because that tells me that they were nobodies to him. But they were somebody to their family! I hope the impacted families and his daughter are healing.
Love That Chapter and being part of the patron. I just ordered another T-shirt can’t wait to get it. Scary thing is I live in Ohio.
Patreon blows.
This was an excellent video, Mike! Had never heard of this case before. Also, just wanted to give you a heads up, there appears to be a rendering error at 16:33
A guy in Ireland just dissed the Cleveland Browns. As a Bengals Fan from Cin City, I love it!
Jack is not only lucky he survived attempted shooting but that he found a house out in the middle of nowhere.
Scott
I remember hearing about this case from one of the Investigation Discovery shows some years ago. It always stuck with me for some reason, so I'm glad to see you cover it. I love all the hard work you put into these, Mike, thank you!
That Chapter!
Highlight of my day.
Thanks Mike for all you do.
Lets give it a GOO
Hi Mike! Much love from Harish (fiance) and I in Colorado, USA 🇺🇸 ♥️
Been with ya since the beginning. So happy to see the channel finally explode!
Let's give it a goo!
His mother worked in the office at my high school. She was one of the meanest humans on the planet and none of us were surprised it was her son out here unaliving folks
Yikes!!!
Another great one Mike. I can't get the image of Sasquatch asking for directions out of my head. This is no laughing matter, but I did laugh at that. Thank you.
I have heard of this one before, but its always that bit better when Mike tells the story! These two were sickos 💯
I remember this well. I live about ten minutes from Marietta, Ohio and have been to Noble County several times. Scary when it hits this close to home...
Kindly old man...From Hell! Mike you make these horrific stories easier to swallow and make me giggle. It's a weird talent. Don't ever stop please. Love ya!
