An arrest was made in the #2 story “Down The Hill”! - heavy.com/news/richard-ricky-allen-delphi-murders/
Thank you for the update!
Amazing!
Finally
I just missed ya Mr. Ballen! Our State will be so very relieved having him locked up. Their family definitely deserves peace. Fly high girls 🤍🕊️
Yep just read about it yesterday. They have his mugshot
Update: They CAUGHT the killer of Abby and Libby. After years, finally they caught him. Worse part was he was a regular customer for a pub and would sit near his own sketch which was drawn and would often tell stories of theory’s on who the killer was. So sick…
That's next level misdirection. Smart friggen supercriminals man..
I remember watching him several times
Either i have seen this very comment earlier already, which is unlikely. Or, I am having the feeling i have seen(read) such story of a criminal already.
@@KingJamesIX eh I wouldn’t say smart , it seemed he was bragging ofc throwing a little suspicion away from him but mostly just messing with people .
@@aadil2248 nah it's smart.. arrogant.. but a lot of the most charismatic people operate with a level of arrogance.
People: “I really hope someday we figure out an advanced warning system for tornadoes”
Morning news: “good morning. There is going to be a tornado tonight and everyone should evacuate”
People: “bullshit”
I grew up in tornado alley. This statement is accurate. 😂
You can't forecast where a tornado is going to hit until it's already forming... All you can say is "there is a 20% chance of a tornado within 50 miles of you" which was the forecast on that day in over 5 states, not just one city. That's insane.
Lol me every time I get a tornado notification here in Florida lol
@@tatumsh9 THANK YOU
The whole time he’s talking I’m thinking this is not how it works. Tornado watch and tornado warnings exist
A pattern can give high probability that a storm will generate in a general area of hundreds of miles
It can not pin point hours in advance that a storm will plop down in a specific location
So there isn’t some call for an evacuation that far in advance.
Everything he was talking about is done in hurricanes
I mean.... the video shows the tornado, does it look like it’s a mile wide?
I like the guy but why not just be factual and correct?
The stories are good enough and don’t need dramatization/embellishment
Yeah...forecasters can’t really do much about that. They aren’t psychic and have to wait until the storm form. That’s not how that works lol
No matter how many times I see that footage from The Dating Game, it’s still just as creepy. To think a serial killer was that ballsy to go on that show!
Those poor girls… That must have been terrifying for them. The way that guy spoke to them is eerie
Yeah. I’m so unnerved by him.
I mean bad people are everywhere. It’s only after we find out that we’re creeped out. They seem normal and that’s why so many people die because they never suspect the charming person to be this awful murderer. It is creeping me out just thinking about it. I just say with caution be safe out there and look after yourself you don’t know what demons someone hides from the world.
Especially when they called him a photographer. Knowing exactly what that meant in hindsight.
Life lesson: if a tornado looks like it’s not moving it’s actually coming towards you (true fact btw)
No, if a twister appears to be not moving it may be moving toward you.
@@michaelbronco1023 oh lol my bad bro
So If a tornado looks like it will come towards your house then it's not coming at you?
@[GD] Juxedi
No, it’s still coming towards you. The tornado will come towards you no matter how it looks and nowhere else
Tornados are fake news
That tornado footage is one of the most terrifying things I have ever seen.
I know right. It's like looking in the face of death.
BigBlue5091 that was near my house, there was metal sheets from that town in my backyard
Just wait till you see them in person I’ve seen the whole entire sky above my place pitch black and the only time you seen light was when lightning was striking we have huge grain bin ripped apart houses destroyed there very cool but bad
It’s even scarier when you realize that you only have mere seconds to get to safety.
Less than seconds. If its taking your house u have less than 1 second to react after hearing the train noise. We got lucky and a high end EF3 jumped over our house. Completely destroyed a block in front and a block behind. When I heard the noise it was 1 second later as Im running to the basement that I hear the walls shaking.
The “Down the Hill” story really stuck with me so much so I shared with my wife and teenage daughter at the time. I am happy today they arrested the man allegedly responsible.
It’s so heartbreaking
It's also scary that the girls didn't take any risks, it's not like they were in some sketchy neighborhood in the middle of the night, they were just hiking and happened to meet a murderer. My grandfather used to say you never know which branch the devil sits on. He was right.
@@annarantanen3813 I think there will be more to this story. I don’t think this was a matter of two girl’s stumbling across a serial killer which would be very chilling. It is still early days in the arrest but it sounds from news and UA-cam that the girls could have been lured to that location by the killer(s) using fake social media accounts and posing as young men. It’s all speculation but it hangs together.
@@spartanp2064 You're right there was a catfish. It makes a lot more sense now, somehow I missed the fact.
@@spartanp2064 I haven’t heard about it being a catfish, It makes sense though. So glad they caught the guy. I was surprised it took this long to catch him seeing as there was the videos that the girls took. I kept thinking someone must know this guy.
I don't get that dude in the first clip. His wife was completely oblivious, he didn't warn her, instead he decided to record the tornado. If you have time to pull your phone up and push record then you have time to attempt to warn your loved ones.
That tornado footage is scarier then any horror movie out there, just seeing that barreling down towards you, then the deafening sound and then just pitch blackness, I'm glad I live where tornadoes aren't a thing.
same jesus that shit is the scariest shit i've ever seen
I used to think the same thing living where I live. In the last 5 years I've seen two lol. The world is changing weather we want to accept it or not. Now earthquakes, that's another story.
Same ...seeing it spinning this fast and getting closer until we know this man is dead...i think this is the scariest thing ive ever seen
Meh.
Tornadoes are nothing once youve been through a few of them. My dad used to sit on the porch, drinking beer and watch them. It was one of the few times he would give me a beer as a kid and i'd do it too. As long as you have a basement near by, you're good.
It was nightmare fuel
I really apreciate that there is no clickbait and hes just the best clean story teller ever he should work for audible
Thank you!
He should!!!!
Yeah but then it would turn UA-cam into a job
Probably is a job already.
Lucid yesss
There was an arrest made in the 'Down the Hill' murders. Hopefully they have the right person and justice can begin being served.
Richard M. Allen...it seems like the dude look wise
The*
Damn I had a broken vertebrae from a car wreck, & that adrenaline Clarence had must’ve been through the roof for him to crawl out of that rubble. Me simply opening my door and trying to get out of the car was the worst pain I’ve ever experienced. RIP to his wife.
Worst pain I ever experienced was a tailbone break.
Tailbone injuries are a form of spinal injuries, and the spine contains the highest concentration of nerves, so these types of injuries are among the most painful.
I went blind for a few minutes after it initially happened. Turns out, with spinal injuries, there is such thing as being "blinded by pain".
My tailbone is the shape of an L now instead of the normal C shape, and 3 of my Lumbar Vertebrae are visibly prodruding a bit from my back.
I still get occasional lower back or tailbone pain but physical therapy cured 90% of it for me. I had to get fit and build muscle, nothing else helped.
All is good now, but I'm terrified of what my back is gonna be like when I'm middle aged - old.
@@haunted5311 how did it happen
@@haunted5311 how’d your break your tail bone? If you don’t mind me asking. I’m glad you’ve since recovered tho. I wouldn’t wish that kinda pain on my worst enemy. I have 2 long rods & 9 screws in my spine basically holding it up, so I completely understand the fear you have of how your back will be when you get older. I’m only 23 now and can’t even bend all the way over anymore because My range of motion is very limited now.
@@hihowareya4004 funny thing is my spinal/tailbone injury was 100% my doing. I tried to "parkour" jump onto the middle railing in front of my friends when I was a 15 year old softmore in the highschool basement. I bit off more than I could chew, and my right foot slipped, went right, so I free fell at least 2-3 feet, and 100% of my momentum went straight into my tailbone ( I wasn't yet tall enough for my feet to have touched the ground when falling on that railing).
I went blind for several minutes from the pain and shock. Now 3 of my lumbar vertebrae are permanently visible when you look at my nude backside, and my coccyx bone is an L shape instead of the usual C shape. I've taken away probably 80 or 85% of the pain through physical therapy/general fitness, but the pain will always severely flare up if I get lazy and don't excercise for an extended period of time.
Could be a lot worse though, sorry to hear you're in chronic pain dude. Wish you the best.
Edit: I just realized how much I repeated myself in this new comment. 😂😂
I feel like Clem had enough time to run his ass downstairs.
An older man, going down three flights of stairs. He might have physical issues. We can't judge that. But I wouldn't stand near a window, though. I'd try to find something sturdy to tie myself too.
And if he did he’d end up like his wife
😭😭😭
Exactly. I don't think it's worded correctly. I think he stayed there to film because he felt oh yeah, another tornado, we've survived the others, this is a breeze (no pun intended). He didn't calculate the risk.
He could've run down easily, sorry but if he had a disability, why climb 3 lots to video a tornado....
I can’t imagine being told “don’t look under you because you dead wife is under you”
One of the most devastating things anyone could hear 😭
Like rip but that’s brutal for the mental health
Or it could be a good thing
@@kledus420smith8 how??
Idk if I would tell them that... you tell people to not look somewhere and what do they immediately do? Look.x
Came back because this was the first time I'd heard of the Delphi case. Glad to know they caught the dude
They haven't convicted him yet, but apparently, the trial is set to start in March
Any update
Does anyone else find it incredibly chilling to see how charming Rodney was? He genuinely seemed like a likeable guy in that clip, and the fact that he’s able to manufacture that so well to make his victims feel safe is just terrifying to me
he's not charming yall just easy
Yeah. Same with Bundy. There is a clip of him been caught for political misconduct before anyone knew the really bad things he did. And he had this boyish charm about him.
Heck according to many accounts Adolf could be very charming when he wanted to... Yes, that Adolf.
I think in all three cases the charm was one of the things that made them so dangerous.
......I personally don't even find him attractive, in fact, I thought contestant number 2 looked better. But then again, everyone has different views on what they find attractive
@@U1s9a9gi5 literally these girls be simping for anything
I didnt find his answers charming or funny. Personally can't see how she found the banana thing funny at all? idk
"I don't have time to go into the basement. I'd better just record this."
Tornado: **Takes several minutes to get to him. Leaving plenty of time to get into the basement.**
WALN Zell I think it’s because of old age- He probably wouldn’t get enough time because of his age
But who knows
@@lecouchpotato2882 Yeah, that's what I'm leaning toward, too. I looked up the original video just to make sure it wasn't slowed down by MrBallen and he had just under 2 minutes. Also, he might have thought it was moving faster than it was. If it were me and I first saw it outside the kitchen, leisurely walked up two flights to the attic (possibly one staircase and one attic ladder), dug out the lanterns, then saw it again, the sudden adrenaline rush would probably be distorting my recollection of how much time my route had taken.
FoxgloveWanderer Yea-
Several minutes? Absolutely not. You have never been in a tornado that is painfully obvious. Do u not realize after he starts recording it becomes a slow motion video after about 3 seconds? He had no time. You never have time once u hear it.
Fox- lol yes the video is slowed down. Those winds are in excess of 200mph. In the video its slowed to a crawl. U do not have 2 fucking mins to react to a fucking tornado right outside. Ive been in a coupke myself. Its less than 5 seconds u have from the time u hear that roar to the time your walls are shaking to bits.
"Couldn’t make it to the basement."
Meanwhile, *records tornado coming towards him for like 5 minutes.*
@bobby seale He was still jump starting his human engine...
If Clem had gone down, he might have died and been crushed by the roof and other debris like his wife. But, in retrospect, who knows what might have happened if he called out to his wife to tell her to go to the basement without him, or, if he tried to get to the basement himself.
If faced with that kind of destruction barreling towards me, I think I would have frozen in fear not realizing I still had minutes, rather than seconds, to live or get away. One can't really know how they're going to react to a situation until they're put in that position. The should've, would've, could've thinking only comes with hindsight. I think Clem was expecting to die and did the only thing he thought he could do at the moment.
@@phoebea Ironic that he lived, and his wife died, then.
It’s like the Austin Powers bull dozer scene. Noooooooooooooooooooooooo! NOooooooooooooooooooooo. ‘Breaths in’…Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Yeah, well, it's true he couldn't make it and catch the film beforehand.. priorities mate
It scary how quick a tornado hits but equally how long it feels. It does sound like a freight train barreling towards you.
If a tornado is barrelling toward you, head into the basement immediately. The guy recording this would have had enough time to escape if he tried to.
Unless he was in bad shape so he'd move slow. I was thinking the same thing though.
@@nikketasnowden i think he said he was 84 years old. So he may not have been able to move fast enough
@@joshuabowen6919 yeah, that makes sense.
wasn’t his wife in the basement though? and somehow she’s the one who didn’t survive :(
@@emiemiemi4769 I think she was just down stairs.
The way he says “down the hill” sent chills through my entire body. I pray those girls get the justice they deserve. Rest In Peace😢❤️🙏🏻
It did to me too. Just so freaky and effed up. 😪
I felt physically sick hearing that
I have been following this case for years and there is an update on this case a 42 year old guy by the name of james chadwell is under investigation after being caught kidnapping and locking a 9 year old girl in his basement the police have detained him for further questioning . More details if you look up delphi murders update on inside edition. Hopefully there will be justice for these two girls.This story was truly heartbreaking to me and with all the evidence including video he should of been caught by now.
@@kaylinthomason8390 wow. Thank you so much for sharing. He definitely should have been behind bars already for sure. So sad 😞
That guy looks exactly like my creepy neighbor his name is James Doherty, he moved in about 2 yrs ago. The man in this video talks (sounds) just like him, walks just like him, build just like him. It is extremely disturbing to me. Even my son said: hey mom isn't that our neighbor!!! I sure hope they have someone in custody, because this guy next door is getting ready to move again. Just putting the word out.
I am a HUGE fan of the strange, dark, and mysterious, delivered in story format.
Briston McAtee he just cuts the same video of him saying that in every time it’s annoying me
Jack Mccormick 🧢
Well youve come to the right place and he post 3,4,sometimes 5 times a week
Wish I knew someone
Is it really necessary to comment this on every video kids??
I am from Delphi indiana. Graduated from the high school in the early 2000's. They have made an arrest on Friday and appears they are confident they have the right man. Love your stories. Keep up the great work.
The girls situation is so heartbreaking… I was working in that area at the time and we followed hoping he would be caught….
The story of the girls on the bridge always shakes me to my core. Hearing his voice make me want him brought to justice so badly. Heart breaking.
yeah it´s so disturbing and makes me so angry
I can't believe that someone somewhere doesn't know who this guy is!!
@@vallynam2654 I agree, especially since it is such a small town.
@@vallynam2654 i think it the killer isnt from the area, probably passing through, i dont think serial killers stay in one place too long. the police not releasing more into on their deaths could be hurting the case, if they are not sharing the details with other state law enforcement then i dont expect the case to be solved
@@BarbarellaAlpha yes he said the video was longer , they should share the whole thing maybe something wouyld click with someone
I am surprised the like button hasn't filed for a restraining order for Mr.Ballen and his subscribers
I mean, I would
Lol
The like button is an enabler. Loves to hate him
He likes it.
I do have a restraining order against him
The last story is some true horror story. Everything on that recording looks so innocent, and the guy looks perfectly normal. Oof, spooky as hell.
That tornado footage was absolutely insane. It is terrifying and exciting to watch.
That lady on the dating game really dodged one heck of a bullet wow
Right?!
I’m so glad she listened to her instincts when they started yelling *”NOPE tf OUT of this date!!”* 😳
I really don't understand what she saw in him in first place, I get that women are attracted to men with confidence, but there is a border between confidence and cockiness and this guy spared none of it. I was literally cringing while he was talking.
@@toreadoress have you ever *watched* the *Dating Game* show?
If not, go look for a few episodes, watch them and then come back and tell us if you still think his behavior was “out of the ordinary/suspicious” for that show.
She dodged a nuclear bomb
Why? He seemed like a good catch
Now I know why my parents where always paranoid of sending me out alone when I was a kid .
@Kashifuddin Ahmed: Yes, it only takes once and you can't undo what happens.
Maybe parents are smarter than we sometimes give them credit for.... Js
@@joshuaearp9494 your right
My parents still get paranoid...I'm 23. 😅😅
You've only just now discovered this? HOW!?!?
I really miss the days when you could upload three, four, even FIVE times per week. I take what I can get though. Huge fan of the work you and your mom put into this. Love the pod cast too. Always listen to it when I go running. Keep it up!
This is why I have panic attacks when I get severe weather warnings. Luckily, where I live, tornados are usually on the milder side and my house is situated in a hilly area. They don't reach us typically. But I always fear them anyway. I remember distinctly trying to drag my dog down to our basement, but she was too afraid. I was afraid for her. It was a false alarm, but tears were still shed
I’m more shocked that an 80 something year old man, in a time of panic, suddenly knew how to use a phone camera.
Edit: some of you really need to learn to control your emotions and what you find offensive. 😂 Or don’t. You’re just making the joke funnier.
yeah lol older people take a while with technology
My grandmother would buy all the new technology when it became available. She and my grandfather would read the instructions. They could do things my mother never even attempted. My grandma would edit videos of hours of footage of tap dancing, all on her editing bay. Life lesson: assumptions may also prove idiocy. Often times older people feign weakness or lack of knowledge to lure in family that never comes to visit.
OR
They can be completely inept and try to make a phone call with a cheese grater! 🤷🏼♀️
Only the dummer ones.
Me and my peers learned to program COBOL and FORTRAN in the 60's. I guess we could be called old.
@@ExecutionerHopkins ouch.
damn. that was cold
If a serial killer can get a date by saying he’s a banana then I don’t have any excuse for not having a girlfriend anymore...
U WOT M8 this is the best thing I’ve read today 😂😂
Fr lmao
It worked for onision
Apparently serial killers never had an issue getting women
They pretend to be the best possible catch ever lie manipulate and covertly emotionally abuses them. Most people in general would run if they actually acted and looked like a killer. Ted bundy is best example. Just keep being yourself man if a woman cant love you for who you are entirely then they are not worth your time man.
Crazy that you did the Delphi murders right when Richard Allen has just been arrested!!! Love watching your videos
I love*
Even though I’ve heard all three of these stories before, I couldn’t help but watch this video from start to finish because the way you tell stories is the best on UA-cam!
Who else is stuck in the never ending loop of Mr Ballen? 👀
Meeeeee
I've been watching his videos for four days straight now and I'm afraid I'm going to run out of videos to watch soon.
honestly its probably unhealthy lmao. i have a stress disorder and i am consuming stressful content constantly now
@@VoidRep Same, dude. Now I'm scared of everything.
@@CedricDylan i hope all works out for you. paranoia is no joke. i was quite overwhelmed the other night
“Night time is when it really gets good” becomes really creepy when you find out what kind of guy he really was
ugh this! It was so freaking chilling. I felt lowkey sick realizing what he meant by those words.
Context .... means everything
He had no soul behind those eyes.
@@spudlee1749 he really didn’t. They almost looked black. Crazy
I'm a nocturnal type but... being a night time person and being a creepy is different types. That asshat was NO night time type.
I really appreciate that you convert miles into kilometers, etc, so that the story can be understood by both users of imperial units and rational people.
Abby and Libbey's case is so upsetting. Libbey knew, she handed them the killer and it's still unsolved. And that quote "guys, down the hill" chills me to the bone. I hope those beautiful baby girls will someday have justice.
In the pic it looks like there are two men walking down the bridge to the girls.
I've followed this case the years has gone on and bothers me so much. So incredibly sad
Apparently they got someone. They’re almost sure is the killer. Nothing confirmed yet though.
Thats why never left your kids alone in an isolated area because thats where animals that walks on two feet lives
I just commented on this. There's a guy local to there that recently kidnapped and hurt a 9 year old. They're looking into him for these girls too. He definitely resembles the man in the background
Who else is a fan of the strange, dark, and mysterious delivered in story format?
well you’ve come to the right place
Some say that's all he does
Rajas Kothari yeah i think he uploads 3, 4, and maybe even 5 times a week
Question is...who ISN'T a fan of the strange, dark and mysterious delivered in story format???
Idk doesn’t sound too entertaining
Just today, October 29 2022, they have a suspect in custody for the murders of Libby and Abby!!! There will be a press conference Monday, and the world should learn the identity of the monster who took those girls away from their families. Justice!!!
Does anyone else always have to jump back 10 seconds or so to the start of the second and third stories because you realized your brain was still processing the previous story so you missed the beginning of the next story?
Yes!
OMG YESS I DO IT EVER TIME AND MISS THE BEGINNING OF THE SECOND OR THIRD ONE YESSSS
Yes!! I always have to go back
Damn true
After every story I pause it, and think
The "guys down the hill" freaked me tf out. Cant imagine what fear those girls were feeling. Poor things
@Unknown Name It’s sometimes used as a term of endearment ... no need to take it so literally.
That guy, sound like an authority figure, by how he addressed them. Like an ex cop or security guard or something. A real creep.
I hope someone finds their killer and he is brought to justice.
@@sphakamisozondi I think he sounded like a father. Rather than a hero like a cop, or a fireman.
What a shame they didnt run.
That single tornado video is the scariest I've seen on Ballen's channel. Like a cloud of death
Always enjoy your “Story’s and know this an old one since not loading 2,3 or 4 times a week. Delighted for Mr. Ballen successfully gaining so many subscribers, but miss the early days 🤙🏼
stories
My sister was friends with Libby and Abby, I’ve gone to that bridge, although it was before the girls were killed. Their deaths shook the community, and it feels so weird to see John covering a story that I personally was connected to like that. I never met the girls, but my sister was good friends with them.
They ever figure out who the killer is?
@@rickiej59 everything I've heard about the case always mentions that they still haven't figured out who killed them.
@@genesisknight9948 such a small close knit community it really, really feels like "Anne" would've stumbled out the attic by now trying to find out if people where still different shades of white or if they all now had eyes that mimicked the oceans glean, and had hair that had the warm sun reflecting off of an shallow puddles sheen.
@@rickiej59 ?????
@@genesisknight9948 Never heard of Anne Frank? The murderer is hiding under everyone's noses; although Anne Frank wasnt a murderer, she was sadly viewed as an criminal to the society she was also sadly residing in. She was right there the entire time, the murderer is in this small town in this small community; someone know's, but they are probably in deep denial.
Can you imagine how the other two guys on the Dating Game must feel knowing in hindsight they lost to a serial killer????
The type of serial killer he was is extremely good in social situations, its how they get their victims
Psychopaths are usually extremely talanted manipulators and posses enough charisma to charm most people (when everybody's looking, of course), so the fact that they've lost to him is not that surprising.
I have to say I find it very creepy and scary when you know what he did at nighttime and said the best time is nighttime
@Mike W he did though because thats how he got all of his victims. if hes alone with his victim hes creepy yes but in the public or when hes trying to convince his victims he is very manipulative and good in social situations
@@sgxbot just what I was thinking
I am a fan of the strange, dark and mysterious delivered in story format, with a hint of video format.
I’ve watched so many of Mr Ballen’s videos of the strange, dark, and mysterious and I’ve never been so terrified as now- after watching that tornado barrel its way toward the camera. My heart is absolutely racing.
I didn’t realize I’m such a fan of the Strange, Dark and Mysterious in story format. But here I am night after night watching this stuff.
He just does that to people like us
😂😂😂😂 SAME HERE
Literally same
Lol...same here
yup. wife and I too
In my eyes, the 2 scariest things on this planet are people and nature
I'm with you half way on that.
@@salmanuel4053 which half?
@@deverickjones6968 Well just let me say that I am comfortable in nature.
I'm for sure that way with people now lol.
Facts
Just saw on the news they have a person of interest in custody in the murder of the 2 girls and I immediately remembered this video. I pray the families get justice!!
They arrested a suspect last month in the murders of Libby and Abby. Finally. May justice and mercy prevail.
Abby & Libby's murders is a case that is sad, frightening, and frustrating for us here in Indiana. 😢😢
Ya I get what you mean a month ago up hear in Canada a man in Nova Scotia really close to where I live made a home made exact replica of a cop car and dressed like a cop and shot and killed 21 people in under 32-48 hours until he was arrested. Shits goin’ crazy in the world!
@@AngronTheRedAngel. the worlds always been crazy, the only difference between the last 50 odd years and the 3000 before it is there is vast amounts of media and video cameras to cover it
Those poor little girls so innocent just wnted a fun day off at school couldn't imagine the pain of her family
I live about an hour or two from Delphi, it’s a heartbreaking case
Think of all the people who goes to the same school as them, how devastating it must be.
Mr Ballen: exists

Yes your right.
Yes.
The weirdest coincidence just happened to me. I clicked on this video randomly because I thought I hadn't watched it before. And the second story comes around talking about the Delphi murders and just this morning I watched a video about the arrest of that man.
Thank you thank you Mr. Ballen. I don't go one day without listening to your story content. You're a great narrator as well. I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!❤❤
"Don't look down"
Well obviously he's going to look down because his wife is dead under him
ikr
Those people need to watch more movies! "What ever you do, don't look down" always means people are dying!
Heeey, your back are you still a fan of Houston jones?
Were they even sure she was dead at the time? Or him before he spoke.
yeah, no shite. on the other hand, in a situation like that i would most likely say even more stupid things, so let's not blame.
An interesting tidbit about the Dating Game serial killer: the male executive producer who interviewed Alcala for the show wrote ‘NW’ on his written profile, meaning No Way. The producer found him strange and unsettling and did not want him on the show. However, the female casting director pled his case because she thought he was handsome and the audience would like him.
@UA-cam Is Jihadi slut What award would that’ve been?
Damn
So damn creepy to watch the video with the killer, it’s almost like he wrote the damn questions! God the irony.
The things you end up learning in mrballen's comment sections.... Wild.
@ Gabe 25
The lady that " won" the date actually cried off, she stated she got a" weird vibe" off
Alcala. Well done that lady !
I’ve been through countless hurricanes and that is way more terrifying
I went through a Cat4 Hurricane (Hurricane Wilma), which was a Cat5 before heading to FL- thank God it became a Cat4 when it hit us head on. We didn’t board up cause it was hitting the west side of Florida, and we were on the East (Atlantic) side - just 2 blocks from the ocean in Deerfield Beach). Usually hurricanes slow down once they hit land. Not Wilma. It sat in the Everglades overnight and went from a Cat 2 when it hit west coast to a cat4 by morning when it headed straight for us. We strapped our 2 babies in their car seats and brought them, along with our dog and cat, into the very small walk-in closet. For the next 6 hours, we went through winds nearly as strong as that Tornado, with a 30 minute eerily silent break when the eye came over us. We could hear and see our roof coming off while we hunkered down in that closet. We moved to Oregon 6 months later. No one really hears about Wilma cause it was just weeks after Katrina (which also hit us prior to heading to New Orleans). I must have a bit of PTSD cause that video sent a serious chill down my spine, and my heart began pounding like it was back then. It’s good to be in Oregon 😅
The goal of my life is to not end up the subject of one of Mr. Ballen’s stories...
My is to end up the subject of one of his stories
I almost ended up in his story’s because I went down into a blocked of creek, and there was a old tire swing and tent there, and it smelled horrible, then I heard someone running on the rocks behind me and I booked it outta there, too bad I left my bike behind : (
Except this old guy who took the video of the tornado haha
@@rebeccaboland2754 Lmao wtf
Speak for yourself 👀
85 years old, with a tornado barreling towards him and he had the presence of spirit to start filming, and in landscape mode too. Respect.
@J Paterson how could he have saved his wife? This is a tornado, not a hurricane where you have days in advance to get out of there. With a tornado, you maybe have 15 minutes to get to shelter and you do not know what these things are going to do or how strong they are. Some people dont even get warnings when a tornado is spotted. The meteorologists who were forecasting these things can only advise that tornadoes are possible, not that they are going to happen.
@J Paterson actually, I dont think it would have made a difference with the tornado being rated an EF4. There hasnt been an EF5 in 7 years, but an EF4 can definitely destroy a house no matter if you are in a windowless room. I've been through my fair share of tornadoes, and I can say that you honestly dont have enough time unless you get the warnings prior, even then, it's not enough time.
@J Paterson the guy was also in his 70's btw. It's not easy to get around when you may or may not have arthritis or something like that. Besides, when it's your time to go, it's your time to go.
@J Paterson yes and that wont change, however that does not give you the right to criticize what mistakes were made. Have some respect.
@@Eponastory If you’d look at the meteorology reports, a super cell was moving in hours before that would bring severe thunderstorms and favorable conditions for a tornado. That was their watch which could turn into a warning. I agree the guy was selfish and ignorant because I’ve been told all my life that if a tornado looks “stuck” or not moving, then it’s coming straight for you. I’ve lived through EF5’s and I don’t play around with tornadoes. When I hear the sirens or happen to see a funnel cloud outside, I’m already in my shelter.
I’ve seen the last 2 stories on HLN.
Cheryl asked the show if she had to go out with Ocala and they said no and she didn’t! Saved her life!
I lived in Texas for years and we always had tornado warnings. My neighbors and friends seemed to never take them seriously but I didn’t care. We always packed our bags, made food, got water & headed down to our storage. WAY better safe than sorry.
"Night time is when it really gets good"
holy fuck
That’s what I’m saying
Freak-a-leak serial killer
Yeah that doesn't sound creepy at all
Peel me
“We’re gonna have a good time together, Cheryll.”
The tornado video is literally out of a horror movie.
If you think that, completely avoid Oklahoma. Our tornadoes are just built different. Lol
The first photo was reed timmer
@@gamersfrenzy8522 facts
Indeed! It's horrifying to watch
Eh that tornado was nothing for people who live in tornado alley 😂 lol.
I’m from Indiana, and I can tell you the Abby and Libby case still haunts the area of Delphi to this day. In fact, I actually used to live in Cass County, an area close to where Delphi is located. And I actually have a sister who still lives there, and this case absolutely scared the shit out of her. She has a daughter of her own who was around Abby’s age at the time this occurred. She wouldn’t allow her daughter to go anywhere alone, even if she was still in the neighborhood. It’s a tragic story, that really has struck a cord with northwestern Hoosiers. Their killer has never been caught, despite multiple E-fits being made of what he might look like. It’s scary, and kinda makes your blood boil thinking about how a man got away with murdering two innocent young girls who had their whole lives in front of them. We Hoosiers really do hope that one day this man is brought to justice.
Your sister is an example of a good mother/parent… it’s still fathoms me that these girls parents were OK with them being on this bridge alone.
Looks like they may have finally brought him to justice yesterday!
@@alexbelyayev215 yeah and I’m glad that son of a bitch has been caught, those were two innocent girls with WHOLE lives ahead of them and he snuffed their lives out all sick pleasure!! I hope he rots in prison and then hell!!
Hearing a killer’s voice as he commands his victims to go “down the hill” is one of the most chilling things I’ve ever heard. His tone is so …. What’s the word I’m looking for? It’s like he’s giving them bad news and scolding them at the same time. And he’s being so familiar with them like they already know what’s going to happen like he knows and they need to just get on with it. Jesus.
@Sunny664 YES!
This is why most people say you should never comply. Especially if you're not alone. You might still be caught but having a chance > having no chance.
@@greenman360 That’s easy for us to plan, but it gets weird when you get really scared.
One time when I was younger a guy motioned for me to pull my car over. There was literally a gas station at the next exit with a mechanic I’d known since I was a little kid. But I just pulled right over on the shoulder. The guy kinda looked like my uncle I hadn’t seen in a while, but mostly it was just an ingrained response of compliance. He parked in front of me and got out. I still remember his stride. The way he walked scared me. It was predatory.
At least I didn’t get out of my car. He said, “Hey. Come here.”
I drove off. Luckily didn’t put it in park. But I think about that a lot. How it was just so automatic to pull over even though I know better.
I did call the cops, but nothing ever came of it because I also forgot to get the license plate number.
Condicending?
The way he said it made me think they were in trouble for being on the bridge. Like he’s in the right and they’re doing something bad.
3 years for "assaulting" an 8 year old??
Meanwhile people spending over 10 years for having weed on them?
The american justice system is a joke
Worldwide justice system- joke.
It's the Devil lettuce, it turns the users calm, while letting the demon rule the world, being too busy busting your balls over some drug, rather then stop somebody that had killed 99 people.
Reefer madness devastates family and turns people into serial killers. Weed is no joke, my friend smoked it just once and now he unironically wears Timbalands. Don’t let the same thing happen to you
@@bradleyarnup8340 wait... I wear Timba's... and I used to smoke reefers when I was younger
@@obiwanshinobi87 it’s all linked bro
As a resident of Illinois. I remember that tornado
Glad an arrest was finally made in the Delphi case! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
The look in Rodney's eyes are unsettling. They look... soulless. 😬
I was imagining what it would’ve been like at the very end of the show where the announcer was stating all of Rodney‘s passions (skydiving, photography, etc.). What if the announcer stuck in there at the very end “and serial killer!” Lol.
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 that would have been bad he would’ve went on a rampage 😬
just looks HIGH as F to me
Look at the demeanor of the middle bachelor. He does not look comfortable next to him. Just sayin.
I noticed the eyes right off. Very creepy, to me they had a slight red glow to them. And yes, he looks high as F to me to. "Just saying ".
SHE WAS UNDER HIM?!? THAT BROKE MY HEART COMPLETELY..
No, he went upstairs to get a flashlight. She was in the doorway of the kitchen.
Their fault
@@briaharris183 agree... they should have went to the basement immediately and would have been alive
@@dinarusso3320 the house collapsed.. They may have been buried alive if they'd gone down there
I'm glad he lived and he got the video to educate people but I really wish people would gather their emergency gear and put it where they can grab it quickly. Like just imagine if you saw a tornado like that and you knew you had to go upstairs to get safety equipment... My heart rate is going up just thinking about it. Almost all of us can get a little flashlight and some water bottles, granola bars a radio, etc. and put them in a shopping bag, hang it by the front or basement door. Especially now that storms are getting so bad and so frequent
I wish you'd do more of these my friend. Iv seen everything you've posted from the channel to the podcasts. I truly cannot get enough but yeah seriously John you should catch up on this series! definitely my personal favorite.
I'm glad you did the 2nd story again. Possible break in case with one arrested now. I hope for these families
That guy saying “at night is when it really gets good” in context is absolutely bone chilling
Cheryl from the Dating Game was extremely smart to go with her instincts about Rodney! I’m sure it sent shivers down her spine, when she realized how lucky she was to have not gone through with the date! Thank God 🙏
I wonder if that stayed with her ever since? Everything ,possibly her life, resting on one decision...it's truly terrifying!
Her instincts caused her to choose him in the first place.
He was handsome at the time too. Most would have gone with him.
@@billbauer9795 things change, and instead of going with a doubt, if more kicks in, she was smart to go with it.
@@billbauer9795 You're mistaking attraction for instinct.
Rodney was an absolute monster. Cheryl was lucky , good thing that she caught that vibe and listened to herself. It's incredible that he was able to kill so many people.
Right?! I wish everyone had the awareness and strength she had to follow her intuition. Ay, ay, ay 😱
They both creeped me out
@@Loser_Alter_Ego Same here. She was cringey as heck
I think The Behavioral Panel did a video on him.
Really....
I don't even feel safe in my basement when there's a tornado warning.
That dude Rodney was smooth AF 🤣😭
That tornado was a beast. The 2nd story is why I am extra protective of my twin girls. It's such a sad world full of sexual deviants. Even when we catch them they are given ridiculously low sentences.
Yup and predators are now scoping out parents social media pages who post pics of their kids to find victims. That’s the main reason why I would never upload pics of my son online
Welcome to revelations. This is what you wanted
They deserve nothing better than being tortured.
when i read down the hill i immediately knew. i beg for peace to soon be brought to their souls & families, they must find who hurt them 💔
@Eliahou Felix ... are you the good one of the evil one?
They have a suspect in the Liberty and Abigail case. He apparently previously kidnapped a 9yr old girl. His own brother called him a monster. He said he was absolutely capable of killing those two girls. If it really is him I hope their families can finally find some sort of comfort knowing he's never going to hurt anybody again.
omg so many monsters out there
They better catch that evil bastard. Seeing that video chills me to the bone....
@@bethlou8162 Exactly. Just the few seconds of him directing them is chilling. And of course i want to know how he got them to cooperate. Did he pull a gun out? Did he pretend to be an authority figure who was ordering them off the bridge because it was off limits and they were in trouble? Because one would think if he pulled out a knife seconds after this clip ended they would have just run. Unless he was able to grab one of them first and the other was afraid to leave her friend behind? Idk. I just really hope they caught this p.o.s. He doesnt deserve life. Really sad that you cant even go on a short hike with your friend to a local area without having to worry about being murdered. (I grew up in the 90s with a small wooded area not far from my house and my friends and i would explore it all the time when the weather was nice. Its crazy to think we could have been that vulnerable. )
@Astolfo Desu What a silly comment. Did you choose your name or did your parents?
@Astolfo Desu It is silly and isn't a "valid observation" at all. Aside from the fact that it's completely irrelevant to this incident and an odd thing to comment on, nobody chooses their own name at birth so it makes no sense to mock a name.
Whether or not it's ridiculous or pretentious is your opinion, opinions are subjective.
Tornados look stationary when moving toward our away from you. If you see it "not moving", if you're able to, head to one side or another at a 90° angle. If you're in a house, go to the basement or smallest room in the middle of your house. If you have a blanket, cover yourself with it. If you're in a vehicle and don't have the ability to drive at that 90° angle away, get out and find a ditch and lay in it. Do not get under bridges. While you get protection from precipitation, tornados create a vacuum under them - they're more dangerous than open ground.
That first video was seriously intense. It's crazy what nature is capable of.
Let’s be honest when he said
“We know the girls made it to the bridge” our hearts sunk.
Imagine that when the guys said"am I dead" the mean neighbor said"yes"
@NuttyBuddy OOOHHHH, YOUR WRONG FOR THAT LMFAO
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
We love your channel. Thanks
It looks like an arrest has been made in the Delphi case. Still need to go through trial before we can officially say the mystery has been solved. Crazy!
Those two girls...my heart is so broken I can't believe they have him on video with a voice and don't have him in costudy. Unbelievable! There's a killer among us y'all.
There are many killers among us. Dark thought, but also true.
Killers are everywhere. You have probably passed several in your life. Sorry, but that's the reality. You just weren't the one they latched onto.
Yeah I guess so considering 3 of my friends have killed their girlfriends.

Just this past Halloween, a few days ago, they arrested a person of interest in the two girls murders. I hope justice can finally be served for those two innocent children.
4:11 Perfect example of the saying “If a tornado looks like it’s not moving, it’s coming towards you.”
That tornado escalated really quick
Or away, however it’s better to assume it’s coming at you.
@Sean of the Bread The rotation of the cyclone has nothing to do with the power of direction of a tornado, yes. The only difference between clockwise spinning tornadoes and counter clock wise spinning tornadoes is that counterclockwise tornadoes are usually in the northern hemisphere while clockwise tornadoes usually occur in the Southern Hemisphere. But the direction the tornado itself is moving, not spinning, greatly affects how we perceive it.
There was a series of 3 tornados in my hometown Dallas TX and one of the tornadoes was the strongest tornado in 2017 and it ripped out trailer homes in the sky and I was at school I thought we were going to die.
