I absolutely agree with you, but I don't think anyone should be working alone on graveyard shift. You know you work for a good company when they have you working in pairs each shift during graveyard to keep the employees safe, irregardless of cost.
That poor girl abducted and murdered by Israel Keyes was working alone late shift in a coffee stand. They should have 2 working on the lates. Preferably male.
I worked at a hotel as a receptionist. they wouldnt allow females to work the graveyard shift and as a female i was really glad about that. it paid better tho :)
@@gordonaliasme1104 Agreed on the last point, I've seen a lot of cases where two (one case I think *three*) women were able to be controlled and subdued by an experienced predator. They always go for the weakest prey they see, and something that simple could reduce how much this happens.
Can we take a minute to appreciate the guard not giving it a choice the whole ride to the prison and making it listen to the victim impact statements. That guy deserves a raise,.a round of beers, and a street named after him
When you were listing the items found in the van, in his home, and at his inherited home, I felt nauseous. There are thousands of guys just like prowling around in this very moment. God bless that brave girl for jumping out of the vehicle.
4 sure and I agree unfortunately there's some disgusting men out there ,always b aware and careful anywhere u go,it's terrifying to think about it for my loved ones or any woman for that matter
This happened near where I live. I remember thinking they were never going to find out what happened to her. Needless to say, it was a real shock when they announced they'd caught someone. Thanks for another great episode.
I live in north muskegon he was the janitor at my school when i was in the elementary. One day my moms car started on fire he helped her. When i showed her who they caught in the murders she didnt believe it. She said he was such a nice guy.
They were probably more concerned they were stealing something more important like property And as soon as the potential thief left, they figured there was nothing else important to check on /s
Madison is so freaking lucky. That POS had every intention of killing her, and much worse I'm sure. Good on that girl. She caught a wanna be serial killer. Jumping out a moving car at 40mph. Total respect for that young lady. I hope she's doing okay 🙏.
@@michaelvan6675 I mean she had no skill in jumping out of vehicles I’m sure - she had good instincts and took action. I’m also not sure I’d call someone lucky who got abducted just because they didn’t get murdered lol
Jessica's store manager to husband: "It's 11pm at night, I just saw a strange man loading something into his minivan parked at the back of the store I manage, where I know Jessica is working alone... Oh well, let's go home and watch Jimmy Kimmel."
Yeah, the store owner/manager was a real piece of garbage. I bet working for her was a nightmare too. You can tell she didn't care about her employees at all. They didn't even stop to check in to see what was happening. I hope she and her husband lived the rest of their lives miserably, knowing they helped a monster commit a crime with their indifference.
R.I.P Beccie and Jessica, my heart goes out to your families. I'm so happy you escaped and identified this creature Madison, I hope you are getting a lot of support.
I lived just down the road from this gas station at the time. This was so frustrating when it happened because the gas station owner couldn’t have been bothered to install a security system, but was content to hire these young women to work late shifts by themselves. At the time, my wife and I had a silver Town and Country minivan and I was pulled over at one point when they knew they were looking for a silver van. So glad they eventually caught this human garbage.
I was so confused how he could abduct her without any cameras seeing him and now I know thank you. That poor girl she had so many guys trying to pick her up and this creep did what he did. So disgusting 😪

It's amazing how that poor lady who'd been jogging still had a pulse despite having been rendered brain dead by three bullets through the skull. It shows hough tough her heart must have been.
The human body can be amazingly resilient sometimes, it’s unfortunate she didn’t live. I worked in a trauma hospital for years and have seen people with exit wounds out their skull live and seen healthy people who slipped and hit their head and die.
.22 shootings are strange like that. The brain stem controls breathing so as long as its intact the other parts of the brain can be damaged and have no consciousness. This whole situation was sad. That 16 year old saved so many lives by jumping and running
My time watching crime only a couple times i have been amazed. One is a man who got attacked with a axe to his head, while dying he got up and did all his normal chores.. and a lady who almost got decapitated and had her inside pulled out.. she picked herself up held her head up picked up her stomach and walked to the road so she could be seen and collapsed there. She survived, the guy with an axe to his head died but his wife who was also attacked survived.
@@dickwellington8578 yeah I agree the human body is truly stunning when it comes to survival. That one girl who was disembowled and had her hands chopped off ended up trudging through miles and miles of woods and found a car and ended up surviving to name her killer.

Happened right down the road from my house my mom helped get Jessica's law passed in Michigan which means any gas station has to have cameras now. So sad
Excellent work on the video. Such a horrifying case. It’s the killers who seem so “ normal “ that really scare me. I’m so thankful that Jessica & Becky’s families got answers. I thankful they 16 year old girl was so brave to jump from the moving vehicle. She’s an absolute hero!!! Rest In Peace Jessica & Becky♥️🕊️
It was very well covered for the most part, but he completely skipped over Jeff's early years. He didn't fit the typical serial killer profile at all. He was a star track runner who was very popular with the ladies and seemed to be a well adjusted adult for a long time. Something changed in him though and he went down a seriously depraved rabbit hole in his 30s. This video easily could've spent just 5 more minutes on these details.
I’m not gonna lie, I was pretty angry when you mentioned that the judge didn’t make him listen to the victim impact statements and then I was absolutely fuming when he blew that kiss to the family. Such disgusting, inhuman, oxygen wasting behaviour ! So much ❤ to the corrections officer who made him listen to the victim impact statements on the way to prison (probably PC which is where I bet this waste of space is now sitting.)
@Donnell Okafor I understand that but he could of forced him to at least be present and that would of been better then letting him get his own way IMO.
@missInsane3 Why is it insulting to you if he "got his own way?" It's probably best he wasn't forced to listen in person, since he could've been visibly disrespectful to the victims' families, which would've been worse than his absence.
Great video as always! I don't think I've heard that 911 call after he attempted to abduct Madison Nygard. I hope she's doing better now, that's so much to recover from. All of these victims sound like they were such good people too, and their poor kids have to grow up without their mothers now.
OMG a young woman closing her shift at a gas station on her own, what the he**!!.......there is absolutely something wrong with the owner, NEVER EVER EVER should a young woman be on her own at NIGHT closing her shift and at a gas station of all places..........RIP poor Jessica, and thank you Giles, your videos are always spot on.
I'm glad that one woman on the bicycle just left when she felt uncomfortable. I wish everyone would pay attention and do that. The 911 call with the 2 people who thought the girl was hit by a car was heartbreaking 💔 to hear the entire call. They tried so hard to keep her alive. It sucks when the person is still slightly alive so you have hope. That has to be so much worse than finding a body beyond help. Good for Madison for jumping. Those wounds will heal. I had a silver town & country.... it wasn't me though. Lol.
@@MsBleau Gut instinct often feels weird, but I'd rather have someone get mad at me for being too 'rude' than have to face a worse fate. Unfortunately, men and women are finding out nowadays- that just like in the past, either choice can turn into a bad situation or earn retaliation.
@@rachelgreen4036 Weird fact, gut instinct is just that 95%of serotonin is made in your intestines which is responsible for fight or flight instinct. It def wasn't as scary in the 70-80s only because we didn't have 24/7news fear. Today at least you can know enough to be aware. Decision + choices = consequences
Wow, the nerve of that monstrous psychopath to literally blow a kiss at the family of the beautiful young lady he murdered just stuns me, yet I can honestly expect nothing more or less from something that's more putrid like this scum of the earth. I love how the sheriff forced him to listen to the closing statements, since he so rudely couldn't even stay and listen to the family as they grieve for the loved one he took away from them. This guy had some peanuts! 🤬
im always bewildered how everything up to that point was about defending him and proving he is innocent, and then he goes on to do that. its insane how selfish and sick people like him are. i couldnt work as a defense lawyer because of POS like him.
Thank you for this! I have so many 'almost' connections to several people in this case, it's crazy. I never dreamed you would cover a case from my hometown. I only met Jeff Willis once in the mid 90s. He was dating a friend of a friend. The meeting was just an introduction and very quick and not memorable in the least. I worked directly with the gas station manager's Mom (who is an absolutely amazing person by the way). However, I didn't realize this until after the trial, and I had moved away. It wasn't anything we ever discussed. Rebekah Bletsch was married to a distant cousin of mine; though we've never met. My parents live right down the road from where he lived when he was committing these crimes. They also didn't know each other. Willis was working with another cousin of mine whilst he was committing these crimes. Not directly though , same shift but different departments. The last 'almost' connection... The husband of my childhood best friend, was one of the amazing prosecuting attorneys for his trial. Also haven't met him. I keep hoping Jessica's remains are found and returned to her family. Thank you for these incredible shows. Love from Canada 🇨🇦
Jeff was my younger brothers best friend since elementary. My brother passed in 2012, before this happened. He helped with his funeral arrangements. Last time I remember seeing Jeff was when we both showed up to take the test to work for the census. I sat next to him because I'd known him since he was 8. I walked out on the test, as I thought it was really hard. He was always pretty smart. I wonder if he ever got the job; going door to door asking how many people lived at their address. I also wore his jersey for senior powder puff. I got really drunk, fell in the fire and melted the back of it. Kind of gives me the chills, when I think that I know someone capable of committing these types if crimes. My mother would tell all my brother's friends to come over any time and use the pool, even after he passed away.
Sigh of relief for all of you. Glad you're all safe. 🌹 My baby sister had a close call with some creep back in the 80's. I lived a thousand miles away, but we'd usually talk once a week on the phone. Her car broke down and she'd just passed a gas station, so she was walking back to call someone to come get her. Some guy in a pickup says "that your car? You broke down? I can take a look at it...." Real nice and polite. She says "nah thanks, just gonna go call somebody." He insists "well, lemme give you a ride!" She says "No thanks, I got it.." keeps walking. He puts the truck in park, jumps out, starts running after her, IN SIGHT OF THE GAS STATION and she said it was like a switch was flipped! He's yelling, cussing, telling her what he's gonna do to her...she said the adrenaline kicked in and she'd never run so fast in her life! She says just then the gas station employee comes out and sees her running and sees the guy chasing her. And thank gosh, the creep SAW THE GAS STATION GUY SEEING THE CREEP CHASING HER. She said he quit chasing HER & ran back to his truck. I thought my heart would stop just hearing her tell that story. I said did you call the cops???!!! She said no, the gas station guy wanted to call the sheriff (they didn't have cops outside the city limits, they had sheriffs) I said, you should've called the cops, someone like that has probably done it before and for sure will do it again. How many folks are living paycheck to paycheck driving crappy cars & taking their chances out here every day? I used to be so happy when my car would die and I'd think "Yay! I broke down on the bus route! At least I can get home! 🤦
I can't say enough how much I love your videos! Especially with your current interrogations season; some channels just play endlessly long interrogation scenes without context, so I really appreciate how you present them
“Clearly, knowing someone is evidence that you murdered them.” Brilliant. Your ability to note the absolutely ridiculous involved in evil is really nice work.
Hey Aussie Monsters Squad...its a lovely 5pm early evening here in Melbourne. Making a hot coffee, grabbing a blankie(as usual), and settling in for Jiles latest offerings. Beware...its getting darker earlier now....better atmosphere for TIM. Cheers fam🙏🌏💙
I just saw this, guess I missed one! Damn dude! Your commentary is so awesome and on point. The way you break down and explain how strange it would be for Jeffrey to keep files relating to very specific crimes that he wasn't involved with...excellent commentary my friend. With a splash of your signature sarcasm, yet delivering high quality explanations of court proceedings and other such matters. YOU ROCK!
Interesting story. The points you listed that high lighted his guilt was great. It pulled it all together. Thank you for doing such a good job on this and other stories. These beautiful young women should not be forgotten and if it wasn’t for the young girl bravely escaping he would have continued killing.
Seems crazy that the manager was concerned enough about suspicious activity that they turned around on the bike and went back, seen somebody loading something into the van, but then just left without checking on the employee or anything.
so the manager drove by,saw something suspicious....turned around and went to the store to see someone unloading something into the van from the back of the store....and as manager, she didn't even bother to go into the store, to talk to Jessica about what it was that was being taken out through the back door?....WTF!!
I remember hiking the state park down the road from this Exxon in 2013. As a young female adult, a lot of our parents didn’t want us out alone during this time. So scary
Perfect. As always, you're coverage is not only (for lack of better term) entertaining but more importantly very educational. I have been so distraught over a case i saw recently covered by Crime Watch called "The Cannibal Cop" and this story is exactly what the jury on that case should have to see so they might be able to understand why the F.B.I. knew it was necessary to lock that cop away....and why finding him not guilty was the wrong wrong wrong way to vote. I personally appreciate all of your videos because i love listening to all the intelligence you gift to your listeners. Perfection. Your choice of words and how you use them just everything everything! Fantastic work, thank you for all you put into your channel.
Brilliant QT! I loved the brilliant work of the detectives, and the smooth narration by you; it was an inexorable tour do force. Poor Jessica, may she rest in peace😢❤
Dakota was out of work, so Jessica was working night shift at a gas station, a high risk job. Why would he not be the one working there, I wonder why these girls get caught up with these men that can't support the family.
@@MrAerohank - @sonjasarrimanolis803 wasn't judging Dakota by how much money he did or didn't make. Sonja was pointing out that most unemployed husbands wouldn't want their young, pretty wife working the late shift at a gas station, when it's a job they could easily get themselves.
@@crashburn3292 Unless you had a private conversation with Sonja, how do you know that's what she meant? Wondering why "girls get caught up with these men that can't support the family" is a straightforward judgement on his finances.
I love your channel, your short- films or mini documentaries are very well put together and delivered. ...not to mention that voice of yours is awesome!! So unique, soothing as well. I like the time you post as well...I'm in Florida, and it's early am...4 or 5 ush I think, so I always have a listen when I get off work (I work nights) and we leave at 5 am, so I always get a good something, something from my "This is Monsters " 😊👍💯
Poor Kevin had to go through all those interrogations because of this monster. My heart goes out to all the families that were effected by this monster.
Kevin was told by his cousin that he had committed the murder, helped dispose of the body, and knew where she was buried, but never told the police. Kevin was a piece of s***. I'd invite you to read further down in this comment section where Kevin's niece talks about what sort of man Kevin is. There is no 'poor Kevin'. Kevin is a waste of human DNA.
he looks terrifying. I feel horrible Jessica went from an abusive relationship to being killed by another psychopath. and her poor son. nothing but pain
WOW thanks for the deep dive!! I've never seen so much real footage from this case! ...And I live an hour away from where it happened. So much more attention was paid to her disappearance than the arrests, and it was years in between so we all thought these scumbags got away with it.
I like the way you narrate, and lay it all out for us. I understand you clearly. I also appreciate the fact that you don't speak with that silly upward inflection, that makes every sentence sound like a question. Another thing I appreciate is the fact that you don't curse. Keep up the good work!

It was very well covered for the most part, but he completely skipped over Jeff's early years. He didn't fit the typical serial killer profile at all. He was a star track runner who was very popular with the ladies and seemed to be a well adjusted adult for a long time. Something changed in him though and he went down a seriously depraved rabbit hole in his 30s. This video easily could've spent just 5 more minutes on these details.
I’m not gonna lie, I was pretty angry when you mentioned that the judge didn’t make him listen to the victim impact statements and then I was absolutely fuming when he blew that kiss to the family. Such disgusting, inhuman, oxygen wasting behaviour ! So much ❤ to the corrections officer who made him listen to the victim impact statements on the way to prison (probably PC which is where I bet this waste of space is now sitting.)
@Donnell Okafor I understand that but he could of forced him to at least be present and that would of been better then letting him get his own way IMO.
@Donnell Okafor hence the IMO. Yeah he may not have that power but i’am allowed my opinion !
@missInsane3
Why is it insulting to you if he "got his own way?"
It's probably best he wasn't forced to listen in person, since he could've been visibly disrespectful to the victims' families, which would've been worse than his absence.
Do you normally lie? Lol
Absolutely love that the transporting officer played a recording of the impact statements while they traveled. Brilliant officer. 👏🏼
I guarantee that there are many many more serial killers than anyone thinks. Too many missing and never found people.
Great video as always! I don't think I've heard that 911 call after he attempted to abduct Madison Nygard. I hope she's doing better now, that's so much to recover from. All of these victims sound like they were such good people too, and their poor kids have to grow up without their mothers now.
OMG a young woman closing her shift at a gas station on her own, what the he**!!.......there is absolutely something wrong with the owner, NEVER EVER EVER should a young woman be on her own at NIGHT closing her shift and at a gas station of all places..........RIP poor Jessica, and thank you Giles, your videos are always spot on.
The police around where I live all go and sit in the parking lots of gas station’s closing late at night.
@@summerdrye4030 Good plan!
Can't sleep, it's 4:30 am, so I hopped on UA-cam hoping to find something interesting to watch. You never fail!
Best content creator on UA-cam. Thanks for your hard work.
Ass kissing for likes
Appreciate that
THANK YOU! for bringing back the intros it makes me appreciate the gravity of each episode.
I'm glad that one woman on the bicycle just left when she felt uncomfortable. I wish everyone would pay attention and do that.
The 911 call with the 2 people who thought the girl was hit by a car was heartbreaking 💔 to hear the entire call. They tried so hard to keep her alive. It sucks when the person is still slightly alive so you have hope. That has to be so much worse than finding a body beyond help.
Good for Madison for jumping. Those wounds will heal.
I had a silver town & country.... it wasn't me though. Lol.
We're taught to disregard those feelings
@@industrialoverIt's called gut instinct for a reason. If someone tells you to ignore it there's a problem.
The voice of the girl he attempted to kidnap made me sad.
@@MsBleau Gut instinct often feels weird, but I'd rather have someone get mad at me for being too 'rude' than have to face a worse fate. Unfortunately, men and women are finding out nowadays- that just like in the past, either choice can turn into a bad situation or earn retaliation.
@@rachelgreen4036 Weird fact, gut instinct is just that 95%of serotonin is made in your intestines which is responsible for fight or flight instinct. It def wasn't as scary in the 70-80s only because we didn't have 24/7news fear. Today at least you can know enough to be aware.
Decision + choices = consequences
I could listen to you tell stories all day!!! You do an amazing job. Keep up the good work!😊
Wow, the nerve of that monstrous psychopath to literally blow a kiss at the family of the beautiful young lady he murdered just stuns me, yet I can honestly expect nothing more or less from something that's more putrid like this scum of the earth. I love how the sheriff forced him to listen to the closing statements, since he so rudely couldn't even stay and listen to the family as they grieve for the loved one he took away from them. This guy had some peanuts! 🤬
im always bewildered how everything up to that point was about defending him and proving he is innocent, and then he goes on to do that. its insane how selfish and sick people like him are. i couldnt work as a defense lawyer because of POS like him.
I would say he is a scumbag but it is so much worse, I am at a loss for words.
He'll be blowing(kisses) in prison.
Way more then he wants too..
Thank you for this!
I have so many 'almost' connections to several people in this case, it's crazy. I never dreamed you would cover a case from my hometown.
I only met Jeff Willis once in the mid 90s. He was dating a friend of a friend. The meeting was just an introduction and very quick and not memorable in the least.
I worked directly with the gas station manager's Mom (who is an absolutely amazing person by the way). However, I didn't realize this until after the trial, and I had moved away. It wasn't anything we ever discussed.
Rebekah Bletsch was married to a distant cousin of mine; though we've never met.
My parents live right down the road from where he lived when he was committing these crimes. They also didn't know each other.
Willis was working with another cousin of mine whilst he was committing these crimes. Not directly though , same shift but different departments.
The last 'almost' connection... The husband of my childhood best friend, was one of the amazing prosecuting attorneys for his trial. Also haven't met him.
I keep hoping Jessica's remains are found and returned to her family.
Thank you for these incredible shows.
Love from Canada 🇨🇦
That is crazy! 😮
Jeff was my younger brothers best friend since elementary. My brother passed in 2012, before this happened. He helped with his funeral arrangements. Last time I remember seeing Jeff was when we both showed up to take the test to work for the census. I sat next to him because I'd known him since he was 8. I walked out on the test, as I thought it was really hard. He was always pretty smart. I wonder if he ever got the job; going door to door asking how many people lived at their address. I also wore his jersey for senior powder puff. I got really drunk, fell in the fire and melted the back of it. Kind of gives me the chills, when I think that I know someone capable of committing these types if crimes. My mother would tell all my brother's friends to come over any time and use the pool, even after he passed away.
Sigh of relief for all of you. Glad you're all safe. 🌹 My baby sister had a close call with some creep back in the 80's. I lived a thousand miles away, but we'd usually talk once a week on the phone.
Her car broke down and she'd just passed a gas station, so she was walking back to call someone to come get her. Some guy in a pickup says "that your car? You broke down? I can take a look at it...." Real nice and polite. She says "nah thanks, just gonna go call somebody." He insists "well, lemme give you a ride!" She says "No thanks, I got it.." keeps walking.
He puts the truck in park, jumps out, starts running after her, IN SIGHT OF THE GAS STATION and she said it was like a switch was flipped! He's yelling, cussing, telling her what he's gonna do to her...she said the adrenaline kicked in and she'd never run so fast in her life!
She says just then the gas station employee comes out and sees her running and sees the guy chasing her. And thank gosh, the creep SAW THE GAS STATION GUY SEEING THE CREEP CHASING HER. She said he quit chasing HER & ran back to his truck. I thought my heart would stop just hearing her tell that story. I said did you call the cops???!!! She said no, the gas station guy wanted to call the sheriff (they didn't have cops outside the city limits, they had sheriffs) I said, you should've called the cops, someone like that has probably done it before and for sure will do it again.
How many folks are living paycheck to paycheck driving crappy cars & taking their chances out here every day?
I used to be so happy when my car would die and I'd think "Yay! I broke down on the bus route! At least I can get home! 🤦
That should be an automatic thing that they HAVE to listen to the victim impact statement
I can't say enough how much I love your videos! Especially with your current interrogations season; some channels just play endlessly long interrogation scenes without context, so I really appreciate how you present them
Holy Moly! Super long one ! Thanks soooooo much 😊
Molly is holy
I have a comeback....but not the most appropiate of places for satire😞
What you stalkin' about, Willis?
Lmfaooooooo I’m drunk rn. Chill out
Top comment. And quick about it too.
Brilliant
Well done Sir 👏👏
😂😂❤😂
Wake up in the middle of the early morning/late night and there's a new Monsters video. Thanks, appreciate all your hard work.
“Clearly, knowing someone is evidence that you murdered them.” Brilliant. Your ability to note the absolutely ridiculous involved in evil is really nice work.
Monday Morning Monsters ❤
You make my Mondays, always have you playing in the car on the way to work! 🎉
yay for the cop who played the impact statements on the drive to the jail.
seriously, what a legend!!
Small win for the victims and their families but any win in these cases is a bonus. Total boss move
He's the GOAT!!!! I love that he took it upon himself to record the impact statements...
I commented this before I saw your comment. But yes I LOVED hearing that
Hey Aussie Monsters Squad...its a lovely 5pm early evening here in Melbourne. Making a hot coffee, grabbing a blankie(as usual), and settling in for Jiles latest offerings. Beware...its getting darker earlier now....better atmosphere for TIM. Cheers fam🙏🌏💙
Now daylight savings is here, I don’t like it becoming dark so early 😢 Not to mention the cooler weather
@@chickenlittle5095 I did prefer a later upload from TIM, tbh. Though I'll never knock back a new episode. Cheers💙
I just saw this, guess I missed one!
Damn dude! Your commentary is so awesome and on point. The way you break down and explain how strange it would be for Jeffrey to keep files relating to very specific crimes that he wasn't involved with...excellent commentary my friend.
With a splash of your signature sarcasm, yet delivering high quality explanations of court proceedings and other such matters. YOU ROCK!
Interesting story. The points you listed that high lighted his guilt was great. It pulled it all together. Thank you for doing such a good job on this and other stories. These beautiful young women should not be forgotten and if it wasn’t for the young girl bravely escaping he would have continued killing.
Madison did the right thing by jumping out of the car, very brave girl, but she has shitty friends
wow, that girl was so brave to jump out of moving car like that. that saved her life!
Seems crazy that the manager was concerned enough about suspicious activity that they turned around on the bike and went back, seen somebody loading something into the van, but then just left without checking on the employee or anything.
Thank you for adding the CC it means a lot. Great video as always.
so the manager drove by,saw something suspicious....turned around and went to the store to see someone unloading something into the van from the back of the store....and as manager, she didn't even bother to go into the store, to talk to Jessica about what it was that was being taken out through the back door?....WTF!!
Sick mf, my only smile was the 2 hour victim statements he was forced to listen to on his drive.
Jiles as always, thank you for your hard work and great content. You’re the best!
New video at like 3:00 when I can’t sleep. So pumped to have you tell me a story right now.
Can't sleep thank God for this channel
I know, right!🤟
Consistently very good coverage of these cases, yours are some of the best on yt.
I cannot believe the manager and her husband did not check to make sure she was ok🤔 They were right there😶
💯
Absolutely!
They do not care. Or they didn't want Jessica to feel like they were micromanaging her
I remember hiking the state park down the road from this Exxon in 2013. As a young female adult, a lot of our parents didn’t want us out alone during this time. So scary
Thank you--great narration. 😊. Kudos to the officers!
U nailed the way all the evidence stacked up against him! Unbelievable, this guy is sick! Great job covering as always!
Perfect. As always, you're coverage is not only (for lack of better term) entertaining but more importantly very educational. I have been so distraught over a case i saw recently covered by Crime Watch called "The Cannibal Cop" and this story is exactly what the jury on that case should have to see so they might be able to understand why the F.B.I. knew it was necessary to lock that cop away....and why finding him not guilty was the wrong wrong wrong way to vote. I personally appreciate all of your videos because i love listening to all the intelligence you gift to your listeners. Perfection. Your choice of words and how you use them just everything everything! Fantastic work, thank you for all you put into your channel.
Have heard this case before, but really like how you describe detectives weeding out possible suspects. Interesting how they do that.
This is a sad case I lived near this gas station, a lot of my friends were talked to on this case as the vehicles were similar.
Brilliant QT! I loved the brilliant work of the detectives, and the smooth narration by you; it was an inexorable tour do force. Poor Jessica, may she rest in peace😢❤
Pet Smart out of dog treats? That's a sacrilege! That alone is suspicious.
I love love love how you lay it all out,another great video🤪
Dakota was out of work, so Jessica was working night shift at a gas station, a high risk job. Why would he not be the one working there, I wonder why these girls get caught up with these men that can't support the family.
A mans value is not purely defined by how much money he can make.
Life happens and people do what they have to do.
@@MrAerohank - @sonjasarrimanolis803 wasn't judging Dakota by how much money he did or didn't make. Sonja was pointing out that most unemployed husbands wouldn't want their young, pretty wife working the late shift at a gas station, when it's a job they could easily get themselves.
also its mentioned that Dakota was apparently abusive to Jessica, so in my eyes this makes him as much of an accomplice as one can be in that tragedy
@@crashburn3292 Unless you had a private conversation with Sonja, how do you know that's what she meant? Wondering why "girls get caught up with these men that can't support the family" is a straightforward judgement on his finances.
Thank you for your thoroughness. He is a monster indeed.
Absolutely love this channel, keep up the great work man!
Literally love your voice... This is monsters...There is something about that voice.
Monster family!! Jiles thank you for the upload ! Always perfect timing
Hey fam❤
@@Cynthiabecker24 🖤✊🏽
Kudos to the deputy and whoever arranged the recording of the Victim Impact statement. Well played!!!
The driver to the prison did something so genius !! Played the impact statements anyway
Excellent story Jiles!! I love listening to your voice! And good thinking to the deputy for recording the impact statements
I love your channel, your short- films or mini documentaries are very well put together and delivered. ...not to mention that voice of yours is awesome!! So unique, soothing as well. I like the time you post as well...I'm in Florida, and it's early am...4 or 5 ush I think, so I always have a listen when I get off work (I work nights) and we leave at 5 am, so I always get a good something, something from my "This is Monsters " 😊👍💯
Wow, thank you!
Thank you Jiles! This creep is one of the worst, a real demon.
Love your podcasts. Your voice is great for narration. Thank you. I follow both your podcasts.
Its so awesome that cop who transported him made him listen to the impact statements 😂. Rip to all the victims and condolences to their families 😢
So much detail in your videos that some lack. Thank you for your channel.😊
Poor Kevin had to go through all those interrogations because of this monster. My heart goes out to all the families that were effected by this monster.
Kevin was told by his cousin that he had committed the murder, helped dispose of the body, and knew where she was buried, but never told the police. Kevin was a piece of s***. I'd invite you to read further down in this comment section where Kevin's niece talks about what sort of man Kevin is. There is no 'poor Kevin'. Kevin is a waste of human DNA.
Every time I get a notification for Monsters I have to stop everything and listen. Great stuff. Love what you do!
he looks terrifying. I feel horrible Jessica went from an abusive relationship to being killed by another psychopath. and her poor son. nothing but pain
And had thirsty men asking her to move in or marry. Bad luck with men this girl had.
Good one bro...your stories help me get through 12 hour graveyard shifts in the refineries down in tx
Excellent timing!!!
Literally thinking the same thing!
Everytime I hear the outrro on T.I.M., I absolutely adore you Jiles. I don't know how many people you have helped, but it's a huge number!
That lock box found in the van is literal nightmare fuel. 😱
Yeah, there was no possible way to innocently explain away something like that. No wonder the jury only took a cup of coffee to render a verdict.
#1 true crime narrator
On UA-cam This is Monsters always flexn hard on em all!💪💪💪💯💯💯
WOW thanks for the deep dive!! I've never seen so much real footage from this case! ...And I live an hour away from where it happened. So much more attention was paid to her disappearance than the arrests, and it was years in between so we all thought these scumbags got away with it.
thanks for covering this case, another great job.
the struggle of being a single girl literally sucks and I’m glad this dude got caught up
Loving this early 3:30 am Monsters! Thanks!
That you have no camera in there with someone working all alone at nite shows how much you really care. 🤷
Love the content, guys! Thanks so much for your hard work 🎉
The guard getting a recording and playing the impact statements during the 2 hour drive to the prion is epic...mic drop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like the way you narrate, and lay it all out for us. I understand you clearly. I also appreciate the fact that you don't speak with that silly upward inflection, that makes every sentence sound like a question. Another thing I appreciate is the fact that you don't curse. Keep up the good work!
Another banger mate. Love your work
