I’ve somewhat known a few JWs and I have to admit that one scared me. Obviously, it’s difficult to really know one unless you’re one of them. However, one that I knew was my hairdresser and she was nice and I wish I could find her to do my hair again. Her spouse wouldn’t acknowledge me, but maybe that was just him.
His parents were right - he was immature as you don't buy pool tables, jet skis or have 3 kids with an unstable income. I would have died of stress if I had done a fraction of his actions
As someone who had 3 kids when we had an unstable income... yeah, immature. Do not do. Am not completely sure that I didn't die of stress and you all aren't just constructs in my personal hell.
Yeah but he was most likely too immature due to his parent's, I've known quite a few jehova's witness and one thing I had been told is they were never really taught morality and ethics, they were told what was allowed and not allowed by the church and even if they were moral agendas they weren't taught why they were rules just that they were the rules
Chris Longo could have been a successful politician: ☑️No skills except personality ☑️Lying is 2nd nature ☑️Absent of Conscience ☑️Self satisfaction and aggrandizement is above all else ☑️Soul-less ☑️Heart-less ☑️Narcissistic ☑️Socio-path Yep, that about covers it!!
I was too I don’t think of it as one, I just think they are too strict, only thing I can say is growing up in it made me uncontrollably sad to the point we’re I wanted to hurt myself, no one said anything they just pushed me down, once in a while I try to go back because I miss my childhood friends and the older people, but it’s like I don’t fit in anymore, like I lost something once I left, my family that is still apart of it doesn’t really call me to check up on me like they use to, they would only call me to “study” or come with them.
@@katielove8874 I'm sorry to read your comment and I hope that you are doing ok. I have never been a JW but read up about the group a few years ago out of curiosity - I lived opposite a Kingdom Hall. I also watched some presentations by ex JWs here on UA-cam. There appears to be a growing community of ex JWs trying to help each other out/support each other - I would imagine that you already know this. Anyway, I just wanted acknowledge your comment. All the best, regards from the UK.
Denise you should read what Jesus said it Matt. 10: 34-38. That will tell you the reason your family is divided. The ones who decide to follow Jesus will be treated terribly by those who don't. We don't turn against our families, they turn against us.
@@katielove8874 Katie that is showing that they care and love you. They know that the best way to help you is through the study of the bible so you can become reconciled to your creator thereby having a happy life. Give them a chance please and you will be glad you did. I am praying for you.
@@huskigirl123 please go away. You have no idea. I grew up JW. My family has been ripped apart. I have uncles that have committed suicide. I have women in my family who have refused blood during labor when having child birth that died because of that religion. Go away!
If you want to get rid of a Jehovah's Witness at your door, don't bother hiding. They'll keep coming back. What you do is tell them that you were a JW, but are now ex-communicated or disfellowshiped. They won't want anything to do with you. You're welcome.
I was just about to give this exact response 😂... just answer the door and tell them you were excommunicated and they’ll leave without question and never bother you again as they feel you’re a lost cause
@@krupag8149 yeah its funny they won't ask why. They just leave quietly. My old roommate was an ex jw, his whole family bailed on it. He told me about it, pretty wild.
Such truly despicable acts. And how can you expect your sons to be a man when they aren’t educated or don’t have any skills right? Really stupid decision in not believing in higher education.
Hi, I just want to say as someone who was raised a JW and lived this life for the first 24 years of my life - thank you for shining a light on this destructive cult. So many families have been ruined because of this group. There have also been a few family annihilator cases involving members of my former faith (another case that comes to mind is Lauren Stewart). Thank you😢
How is this cretin a pall on the JW when they cut him off earlier for far less than the murder he eventually committed? He was evil independent of his upbringing.
I was raised as a jw as well. I'm glad you're out. We that have been raised in this are twice as likely to kill ourselves. It's something I struggle with. Living life with no family after having a really big close family is hard. I wish all the luck and love. There is life after this cult❤️
Just listening to how this guy dug a deeper and deeper hole is anxiety-enducing. This should make anybody who is having a bad day feel better about themselves.
I was walking my dog after listening to most of this, and was just thinking, I have maybe 2 grand in debts from a best buy card and a small loan and I'm worrying. Imagine literally 200 times this, and not ever desiring to pay it back. What a life.
Like, his cleaning business was actually successful! If he'd kept his spending in check and been patient, rather than forging, he could have made that work beautifully! Typical narc though, nothing was ever enough for him.
As a father of a 3 year old and twins on the way, I cannot fathom how someone can harm their children. They are a blessing. I'd die without hesitation for them.
I’ll never understand it either. I’m still shocked over the Susan Smith and Chris Watts cases, among many others. It’s such a primal and instinctive bond... just straight up psychopathy. Poor babies. 💔
That lil home video at the end with the three on the couch made me tear up. I have three lil ones and i dont fucking understand how you could do something like that. He doesn't deserve jail or flat out death. He deserves torture to the highest degree
Same here. I don’t have kids yet and my parents and I have our differences but I’ll literally die for either of them. I don’t understand how the answer to just leaving a relationship becomes murder!
I find I can't watch the episodes that have child murder in them. I've got a 17 month old and another on the way and when I see the innocence in my son's eyes, I can't understand how anyone could ever hurt a child. It's so fucking evil.
the Chris Coleman story makes me the most angry! Chris Coleman is such a backstabbing, selfish, hypocrite. And a giant baby momma’s boy! After murdering his family he ran her name through the mud. He didn’t have stress of money issues…he just wanted to date her best friend from high school and not look bad to his family and religious group. What a piece of sh-!
@@skatiesadiemator5948 they are the same crime, yes, but imo when you factor in the way this man drug his kids across the country, making them sleep in a tent, all for his selfish gain, just to strangle and then drown them, it becomes worse again that's just my view because you're right, it is the same crime as it relates to the familicide
Chris reminds me of one of those high stake type of people . The kind who will do whatever they want, whenever they want, and they'll worry about the consequences when they get there. A very dangerous way to live.
And a short one, depending on the circumstances. Depending on the neighborhood you come from, your time could run out quite quickly. Guys like this can exploit their privilege and make the cons work for years, though.
My high school boyfriend was an ex-JW and he was incredibly charming and charismatic which I think had a lot to do with his upbringing and how he was trained to proselytize at a young age. He was definitely a good person and didn't use his charm to trick people but I can totally see how that sort of upbringing could make someone an excellent con artist.
You’re right. I was raised as one and they are definitely all about appearances. They want people to think they’re the nicest individuals on the planet but they are the complete opposite! I’ve been out for ten years and still haven’t encountered worse people.
Every time there is the death of a child my heart breaks; not only for them but also for the first responders. The recovery of a dead child has to be something that stays with you forever. 😔
The emergency responders that saw baby Sterling Koehn were traumatized as well. When one of them was testifying at the trial of the parents, you can hear the pain in her voice having discovered that poor baby and the horrible state he was left in
This is honestly the only time a true crime story has left me speechless... Mother of God, what a piece of work he is. unbelievable. You presented that really well T.I.M, wow !!!
Born and raised in Oregon, I also used to be a CO that worked in the State penitentiary w/ Longo. I’ll tell you, that dude is one of the biggest whiners I’ve ever dealt with. Constantly complains about conditions, constantly asks for special treatment, constantly threatens lawsuits. Take comfort knowing he’s universally hated and is a total b****.
Curious to see what inmates would have to say about you, I’m going to go out on a limb and say it probably differs from what you’d tell us here. You know, as someone who’s dealt with CO’s before.
I was living in Oregon at the time, this was so horrific as it unfolded. First just finding the body of the little boy and not knowing who he was, then it just kept getting more and more unbelievable that a father and husband could do this. Well done.
The callousness with which he disposed of Zachary and Sadie, unable to show the least bit of mercy by killing them first, makes the term "monster" too good for him.
Wondered why he strangled the youngest first before he disposed but the older kids drown to death. Wonder if they screamed. Whether the kids Asked questions why are you tying pillowcases with rocks around ankles daddy?! Ugh what a nightmare
I was raised a Jehovah’s Witness so this story always particularly horrified me. Thanks for covering it. It is a particularly difficult way to grow up…very isolating and no encouragement for personal growth and development beyond working towards the religion’s goals. So while I have empathy for Longo in that regard, his upbringing is no excuse for his vile, selfish actions.
This case is where my love of true crime and the cult I used to belong to come together. How terribly sad and horrifying - to throw your children alive into the water with no way to escape. You did a great job of explaining the “organization” and its controlling ideas - very concise and very accurate. Once again - great job!
If this greedy dummy had actually put all this energy into a real job, he could have been a self-made millionaire! It's like people who have a great Kickstarter idea that could potentially earn them millions or, indeed, billions, but they're content with scamming their backers and running off with the bag. ETA: I think him using his own name is a reflection of his narcissism/selfishness. He was THAT important that he couldn't let his identity go even when committing crimes.
He was so intuitive and knowledgeable to be able to keep up with all these schemes. I just wonder what his life may have been like if he had used some of that ingenuity to do good…..
He's not very intuitive, knowledgeable, or ingenious. I mean, the narrator said it correctly, he was just doing shit without thinking of the future. He did nothing to cover up or get away with his crimes. He was just incredibly lucky to have 1) had a wife whose religion unfortunately taught her to support and follow her husband in every nonsense he gets into, and 2) just barely escaped a firm arrest in most cases. I mean, it's not like he wasn't heavily on police radar basically the entire time he was committing crimes. I'm just sad for his children, who unfortunately suffered for their parents' poor decisions.
@@registeredjopper (Sigh) "That as may be," but Mary Jane's indelible "poor decisions" were to keep this creature & stay in that damn cult. We can only wish it was otherwise but she & her babies are together forever, & look forward to the Soon, I Trust day when that miserable mega liar gets kicked onto the 1-way southbound Western Hell Express - cause Going Up it ain't.
i feel like when it comes to these "always stand by your man" religions they REALLY need to add a caveat "unless your man is a complete loser/murderous psycopath"
@@monamiller4383 My gosh that is just awful. You have some very scary people surrounding you. This is criminal and I'm no expert but it sounds like your own brother is gaslighting you or something! But it is against the law for anyone to assault you!!! No one has the right to lay a hand on you in anger. I am very sorry. wish you be safe. Good luck and my heart goes out to you.🌺💓
I grew up Jehovah's Witness, unfortunately. When my mom decided to leave the church, her entire side of the family cut her off, kids included. So I grew up without an entire side of family and have never known them after about age 7 or 8. Good times!!
I knew someone whose JW husband was abusive. She sought help from their church, and was basically told to get on with it! She left with the children and her entire family cut her out of their lives. It's inhumane and really cruel. She had no one to support her. How could your own family do that?? That isn't very Christian is it?
@Chandra Cox It's good to know that your mother escaped that cult & you grew up unsullied by such craziness. My paternal granddaddy was somehow [a black] JW - our mandatory attendance at the KH though was an energy-draining affair that put me & some of the ancient ones to sleep, from which even being just 8 I was happily left out of - but the only thing I unforgettably remember him lashing out about was when me & my 2 sisters got gifted a board game called Ka-Bala; the old man blew his stack & hit the attic ceiling on that, near to foaming at the mouth as he raged about that game - & then, us being under their roof at the time, proceeded to destroy it. I could only hope that this episode didn't hasten the heart attack that took him away when I was only 9, but after that Granny had his entire basement office cleaned out & all JW material got the File 86 treatment, & we all "shunned" them with the quickness. If only Mary Jane had done likewise with this pathetic Lipless [Blu]nder as well as that cult! M.T.A.R.E.I.P. & this utter monstrosity get what it deserves, Real Soon.
Hahaha, in germany as kids we were told to never open the door if Jehovas witnesses are in the area. For Real, those people are very intrusive and they cant shut up about their "religious" sh*t. In germany its a cult. Not a real religion.
@@ginexkasachstan its a cult in USA too dont be fooled. we always had to shut the shades and not answer the door when they came through the neighborhood because if they knew you were home they would beat on the door and not leave. JW is evil racist religion that thinks black people are "stained" cursed and serve them as slaves in the celestial kingdom "their afterlife"
@@ginexkasachstan same in Canada. We hate them here for the most part. My mom would get so mad at how pushy they were. Stupidly my politeness has caused problems for me and now I get letters once a month at least from them. Ugh. Thankfully they don't knock on my door anymore due to covid, at least. The only positive of covid.
@@pinkpugginz I’ve had black JWs come to my door. Also, why would it matter that a cult organization is racist? That makes other races not a target for these weirdos lol. Dumbest fuckin complaint I’ve ever heard. Lol
Idk how Jehovas Witnesses can say they believe in Jesus/God that the Bible talks about. Jesus literally spent a ton of his time with prostitutes, thieves, tax collectors, and murderers. But JW’s say you can’t communicate with people who aren’t JW. That goes against everything Jesus teaches. Idk, just something to think about. JW seems like a completely made up religion.
This guy should have a LinkIn for his crime experience. I never heard of a criminal that dabbled in so many different things and got away with an impressive number of them.
I was a Jehovah Witness for 10 years, I'm disfellowship also. It was the hardest walk I ever had in life and almost destroyed myself. My children suffered also, we weren't good enough and when I got deathly sick there wasn't no one there to help me. I learned some good from it. I refuse to go back cause you can't talk to anyone until the elders say you can. I feel they are imperfect also and they are not Jehovah. I chose to stay away and let God take care of it. Some people go crazy trying to be up to their standards.
Amazing episode! One of my favourite parts of your channel that others don't do is leaving the emergency hotline numbers at the end. I answer helplines for a job, including a domestic violence hotline, and it's so valuable to educate people on where they can get help.
I've listened to a lot of true crime stories over the years and not a lot shocks me anymore... But this may be the most disturbing story I have ever heard. The image of those two kids looking up at their daddy as they fell... Wow... This is a situation where the phrase "there must be a special place in hell for him" truly fits. RIP to the sweet little ones.😔🙏
Thank you for so thoroughly covering this case! I am an ex-jw. There aren’t enough words to express how messed up and abusive that “religion” is. I’m so glad you took the time to understand how that would have factored into this particular case. The word is finally starting to get out. May this beautiful family rest in piece.
I do not see now JW factor in this case it all. Any church, beliefs, school and government system can become abrasive and kill a lot of plp (Hitler, etc). It happens when plp do not stand up for with us right and just follow orders. The Bible clearly tell everyone to make the truth your own and do not follow a crowd to do evil or not right. The government and the Bible says you shouldn’t steal but this man stole. The Bible and the government says you shouldn’t murder. JW don’t tell you to murder or steal and to be honest with you I wouldn’t want to hang out with a person I know is a murder and a know theft that keep on doing it. In our government that lock those people up for a reason and punish them and do not let them take part in society. I am not a JW but it not like Jones Town when it comes to this case. They disowned him when he was doing bad. Like the Bible says it hard to feel sorry for a snake charmer bite by his own snake. In other words it wise not to hang out with bad people. There was a man in Montgomery that was killed by the state bc he had a fiend that was a criminal and he shot and killed a cop, I do not believe he should have got death bc he didn’t shot no one and didn’t know the cops when coming to his house. However, he put himself in a bad spot by hanging out with a criminal. I seen a lot of plp ruin they life by hanging out with the wick many having they lives cut short.
My 1st reaction was disappointed- THIS old story that's been done by everyone? Boy was I wrong. You're take on him, the church, his family & his attitude was , I think, the most honest & informative one I've seen. Thank you for all the hard work. Well done. 🌺
I woud leave out his reliogion if want to mention them dont drwa religion through the mud. We all grow up in some kind of reliogio or not. That does not make you out too be the uuuggg person you CHOOSE TO VE.
@@cathystrydom8731 - Oh hell no. Their religion is what trapped her till their deaths. Religion has caused horrific abuse & death around the world. And this particular one sends out their people to do "missionary work" in other countries. When will y'all learn it's wrong to force your beliefs on other cultures? I haven't drug them through the mud. Y'all do that just fine yourselves.
@@cathystrydom8731 The religious upbringing and influence played a crucial role in everything that happened though. There's no way to tell the story without talking about it.
I was raised as a witness, my brothers and sisters to this day believe it’s why we never had any kind of good relationship with our mother, none of us believed in the religion.
A good way to make your kids atheists and do the opposite of what you want is to foist a religion on them. Because almost all religious parents are incapable of nuance or patience.
I was raised in a strict Anglican and Kenyan family. You have to keep your grades up.,you have to be perfect, nice,helpful not just at home or in the church but everywhere because anyone can tell your parents you misbehaved and this was always followed by beatings. You are blamed for everything even when you are not involved in whatever is going on. You have to read and learn the bible from Genesis to Revelations because hey you are the pastors kid. Now as an adult I'm thankful for the lessons i learnt because i learnt how NOT to treat my kids
@@florinasimo5098 Agreed. Former close friends of mine - close like family, raising our children together - Their youngest daughter was unknowingly in the filthy hands of a paedophile. He was 'helping out' as her mother was in the early stages of MS., perfect opportunity for him, giving the girls rides to Kindom Hall, school, etc. Thankfully, their daughter told her older sister, but even after the parent's knew, nothing happened to the guy, because JW's have to report everything to the Elders, and they don't report it to the Police.
It's so nice to see MONSTERS getting the attention he so richly deserves 👏!! I've been hooked since season 1, always feeling crappie for not "...buying him a coffee.." 😟at least now they're able to afford to make such awesome content 👏
Both of my grandparents are Jehovah’s Witness and they stopped speaking to me after I told them I was tired of the meeting and going door to door but what my grandmother failed to tell everyone is before she married my grandfather and was forced into it, she was Wiccan. So 🤷🏻♀️ It’s a huge cult.
So? It doesn’t matter what a person was. Were you disfellowshipped? If not they would have no reason to stop speaking to you. You have no understanding of the reason we preach obviously. Who wouldn’t want a real hope for the future?
This was one of those cases that seriously chilled me to the bone. The show Final Witness did an episode on this case. So senseless. Why didn't he just leave. Because he couldn't handle her family knowing he was a loser....
I remember that show! It was told the story in the victims voice. The scene at the end where the actors were holding up the pictures of the real children made me cry.
@@peppermintpetty6766 Yes! Thank you for your comments Nicky & Peppermint. I will never forget that show. It was so powerful & respectfully presented. RIP Mary Jane, Zachery, Sadie & Madison Baker.❤🌹
@@allycat824 Maybe. But prior to Chris Watts implicating Shannan in the murders the detectives planted the idea of Chris killing Shannan after she had killed the kids. As a face saving way to try to get him to admit to murder. Then awhile later after some pressure suddenly Chris admits to killing Shannan after he alleged she killed the kids.
Aaaaaah, whenever I hear that Jehovah's Wickedness is involved, you know you're dealing with good, salt-of-the-earth people. Also, Sarcasm needs a font.
I remember a friend at school who was a JW and she came over after school for food as her parents had an appointment... I vividly remember going to turn on a movie called hocus pocus and had to switch it off as she wasn't allowed to watch it and got incredibly upset about it. 😞
@@thisisMONSTERS you are 100% right. Also women are not allowed any leadership role in the congregations. They can never be an “elder” which is what the male leadership are called. They hated my mother was married to an outsider especially because my father was a philosophical, science loving hippie. Of course my father did not convert and only showed up to the “memorial” (essentially Passover). We were threatened to be “disfellowshipped” because of it. They would use me to knock on doors at 8 years old because people were less likely to slam the door in our face and were more likely to take their watchtower and awake magazines. You’re not allowed to hangout with “worldly people”, but also not allowed to receive blood if you need it. We weren’t allowed to celebrate birthdays or holidays because it’s worldly. My mother began to feel bad for us and eventually left. Those are just the sprinkles on top of the cultish sundae that some people eat up. Hope of everlasting life here on earth when Jehovah and his 144,000 souls from earth wipes out the wicked making earth a paradise for our dead Jehovah Witness relatives to be resurrected. What a crock of crazy. There were some very good people, but they were brainwashed. Anyway I love your channel . You’re a great story teller. Keep up the great work!
I just want to thank you for your consistancy and the tons of research that I’m sure you conduct for your videos. I can’t get enough of this series! Sincerely, thank you for all you do!
Honestly, how does he maintain this level of researched detail AND amazing upload schedule (I dunno if it’s really a schedule, but the rate he puts out content blows me away considering the depth he he goes into.). Like, he doesn’t just read a true crime website summary and turn it into a slideshow. Sometimes it seems a person could only gather so much info by reading multiple books on the case and doing independent research. That would take me so long to do and that’s just his prep for the videos, never mind the time and effort of actually recording/editing them complete with visuals and video clips. He obviously takes his job seriously and takes pride in his work. It’s on par with television series minus the silly reenactments. And he actually speaks un-repetitively at a good clip packing more info into five min of narrative than an entire episode of one of those shows, while keeping it respectful by telling the story without hyping up the drama-for-entertainment. It’s just…outstanding.
I was as well, I left when I was 20. It had a profound effect on my life leaving was not only the best thing I ever did it was necessary to have a decent life. It's an awful cult.
My favorite part of these videos is how respectable you are. You talk about true crime with basic respect and decency for the diseased while not sugarcoating the nature of the killers. It can be hard to find someone who treat the unfortunate dead with the proper respect
Another absolute quality episode of Monsters 🤗 I still find it hard to understand that killing your whole family is any kind of solution to your problems in life 🤔 Keep up the good work fella, I'm sure that in the future you'll be doing an episode on the Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie horror story that is now unfolding as we speak 😪
Thank you so much for always including the domestic abuse hotline at the end of your videos. I wrote True Crime as my first job and have heard horrifying stories from both men and women. The addition of your help lines brings a great gravitas to your videos and grounds your viewers back to some very harsh realities. It shows you care, you make informative as well as instructive and intriguing stories, are an excellent narrator and truly care about your viewers and how they can seek help. I so enjoy your channel and your heartfelt conclusion (you're also a damn fine wise ass, and that's never a bad thing.)
OMG, I have watched his story on several different T.C. shows and NONE of them, even hour long episodes had this depth of information. This is tremendous work. Thank you for helping me understand why that poor woman stayed. I hope that Mary Jane and her children were welcomed into their version of paradise.
Being married and having kids (I have two kids under three) is difficult, but holy cow, I'd never be able to fathom doing that to them. My seven-month-old wakes up with a huge smile on his face because he's just happy to see Daddy, and my oldest asks me to play with him. The thought of doing anything close to what this guy did to my kids... unfathomable.
For any metalheads out there, The Acacia Strain have a song referencing this guy called "Worthless". Fitting title if you ask me. The band tossed in a sample from the film "True Story" starring Jonah Hill and James Franco, which was also based on this case.
Holy shit. I’m from Newport! This ROCKED our small community. He worked at our local Starbucks in Fred Meyer. Seemed like a nice guy, like they do. People still talk about this and it’s been almost 20 years. It’s pronounced Yah-Hots. Lol Thanks for covering!!
@@maggepena4970 The hardest thing for me is that even tho no longer I am affiliated with that group I still struggle with the maybes of what if they believe is real and so on. Constant mind fuck and fear I would not wish on anyone, especially kids.

@@ricocheteraw90sthebestdecade she made her bed she has to lie in it - don’t let her come crawling back to you , would her husband be happy she’s reaching out to you to discuss her marriage problems?

Lived in Oregon my whole life and can confirm this is something everyone remembers (if old enough). It was very disconcerting. Because they'd only been on the coast for a short time, when a young boy was found that no one seemed to be missing it was a huge mystery. There's a mother who threw her two kids from the Sellwood Bridge up here in Portland. That was a nightmare as well.
More importantly, don't name your son Christian! And never trust adult who hasn't changed such a ridiculous name as soon as he was old enough to do so.
@@YaLittleFriend there are loads of cases of women killing their family and or hiring a hitman to kill them. Coffeehouse Crime and That Chapter just did a horrible one about a woman who hired 3 hitmen to kill her husband. Meanwhile he worked 2 jobs to support his family while she did nothing. Humans have to be careful about which humans they marry. It's a 2 way street.
@@ayearinthelifeofanxietyjoe4413 What do you want to say with your statement? That you are o.k.with Longo murdering his entire family??May be that there are some women hiring a hitman for their husbands but much more men abuse, beat or murder their spouses or girlfriends!
As a former member of the Jehovah's witness "religion" I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your research on this one! All their rules sound crazy, but all you've stated is 100% accurate! Great video as usual - I've always been fascinated by this case!
I thought it was accurate as well, though some commenters aren't happy. There used to be a couple of TV programmes on this story available on youtube. It's a heartbreaker.
@@masterbruce556 guarentee you did. But the elders may not have enforced them, or you're unbaptized....since you said former, not current. Please don't speak of things you don't know. I was born and raised in that cult. Yes, it's a cult.
Watch “Fiddler on the roof.” Get some fkn morals… we are imbedded with them: how can you killers face nature and HER DYNAMIC PUNISHMENTS??? Good f’n luck, pasties. Survival is not in favor for you!
The scariest thing is that Chris reminds me very forcefully of my ex. He used to do a lot of things financially to try to get money that he really didn’t have. I could imagine my ex doing this exact thing in this situation.
Literally my grandma took me and my toddler little brother to the Oregon coast and we were literally in a hotel right next to where they found the bodies! I remember watching it on TV and my grandma chain-smoking cigarettes and holding me and telling us it was going to be okay. I just kept getting so creeped out that the bodies were right outside our hotel.. I saw the crime scene tape and as a kid it really impacted me. It made me pay attention more to my surroundings, be more observant and find interest in true crime.
@@aishabush1655 oh it's something I just wanted to share because it was just one of those way too crazy set of circumstances to not share it here kind of things. (I really feel for people who were affected by this atrocity, I just can't believe this lined up with when my grandma took me to the coast. Plus our hotel door looking right out to the water, right where they found the victims bodies.. just a totally crazy thing. Living in Oregon you just don't feel like something like that would happen since it's such a rare occurrence)
This Channel and JCS (THOUGH DIFFERENT) are the BEST true crime channels on UA-cam. I thoroughly enjoy your delivery and find myself re-watching certain content!!! Thank you for all your hard work.
Deadbugsays is another top notch true crime channel. It's a bit more abrasive and less sugar coated,not for everyone. But there's no just liking that channel, can't help but love it! Or hate it, I suppose. No in the middle, at any rate.
@@jenni_noura9170 Is that definitely true? I know JCS has a patreon and posts videos for members, but they have a few videos left on their channel. How are all these "JCS inspired" channels videos still up? But JCS is the only true crime channel targeted. Something seems off to me.
I had a best friend in elementary school that was named Chris Longo and for a second when you said Chris Longo I shit bricks. Phew, I hope no one ever recognizes someone they used to know here.

I’ve somewhat known a few JWs and I have to admit that one scared me. Obviously, it’s difficult to really know one unless you’re one of them. However, one that I knew was my hairdresser and she was nice and I wish I could find her to do my hair again. Her spouse wouldn’t acknowledge me, but maybe that was just him.

His parents were right - he was immature as you don't buy pool tables, jet skis or have 3 kids with an unstable income. I would have died of stress if I had done a fraction of his actions
I was gonna say holy shit I have 2,000 in debt a stable job and I’m still stressing about that I can’t imagine 100,000 of thousands of debt
As someone who had 3 kids when we had an unstable income... yeah, immature. Do not do. Am not completely sure that I didn't die of stress and you all aren't just constructs in my personal hell.

@Rhonda Bothelio spot on Rhonda
Yeah but he was most likely too immature due to his parent's, I've known quite a few jehova's witness and one thing I had been told is they were never really taught morality and ethics, they were told what was allowed and not allowed by the church and even if they were moral agendas they weren't taught why they were rules just that they were the rules
Chris Longo could have been a successful politician:
☑️No skills except personality
☑️Lying is 2nd nature
☑️Absent of Conscience
☑️Self satisfaction and aggrandizement is above all else
☑️Soul-less
☑️Heart-less
☑️Narcissistic
☑️Socio-path

I was born into this cult. It has torn my family apart. You have no idea how much pain and addiction it has caused.
I was too I don’t think of it as one, I just think they are too strict, only thing I can say is growing up in it made me uncontrollably sad to the point we’re I wanted to hurt myself, no one said anything they just pushed me down, once in a while I try to go back because I miss my childhood friends and the older people, but it’s like I don’t fit in anymore, like I lost something once I left, my family that is still apart of it doesn’t really call me to check up on me like they use to, they would only call me to “study” or come with them.

Hi, I just want to say as someone who was raised a JW and lived this life for the first 24 years of my life - thank you for shining a light on this destructive cult. So many families have been ruined because of this group. There have also been a few family annihilator cases involving members of my former faith (another case that comes to mind is Lauren Stewart). Thank you😢
So glad you got out!! Christian churches are just as bad. All about control and taking your money. Spirituality works for me. Be well❤
i just watched than one its heart-breaking!
How is this cretin a pall on the JW when they cut him off earlier for far less than the murder he eventually committed? He was evil independent of his upbringing.
I was raised as a jw as well. I'm glad you're out. We that have been raised in this are twice as likely to kill ourselves. It's something I struggle with. Living life with no family after having a really big close family is hard. I wish all the luck and love. There is life after this cult❤️

As a father of a 3 year old and twins on the way, I cannot fathom how someone can harm their children. They are a blessing. I'd die without hesitation for them.
I’ll never understand it either. I’m still shocked over the Susan Smith and Chris Watts cases, among many others. It’s such a primal and instinctive bond... just straight up psychopathy. Poor babies. 💔
That lil home video at the end with the three on the couch made me tear up. I have three lil ones and i dont fucking understand how you could do something like that. He doesn't deserve jail or flat out death. He deserves torture to the highest degree
Same here. I don’t have kids yet and my parents and I have our differences but I’ll literally die for either of them. I don’t understand how the answer to just leaving a relationship becomes murder!
I find I can't watch the episodes that have child murder in them. I've got a 17 month old and another on the way and when I see the innocence in my son's eyes, I can't understand how anyone could ever hurt a child. It's so fucking evil.

Josh Powell might be #1.
They're basically the same crime tho
the Chris Coleman story makes me the most angry! Chris Coleman is such a backstabbing, selfish, hypocrite. And a giant baby momma’s boy! After murdering his family he ran her name through the mud. He didn’t have stress of money issues…he just wanted to date her best friend from high school and not look bad to his family and religious group. What a piece of sh-!
@@skatiesadiemator5948 they are the same crime, yes, but imo when you factor in the way this man drug his kids across the country, making them sleep in a tent, all for his selfish gain, just to strangle and then drown them, it becomes worse
again that's just my view because you're right, it is the same crime as it relates to the familicide
All people who murder off their own young children are equally evil.
Chris reminds me of one of those high stake type of people . The kind who will do whatever they want, whenever they want, and they'll worry about the consequences when they get there. A very dangerous way to live.
And a short one, depending on the circumstances. Depending on the neighborhood you come from, your time could run out quite quickly. Guys like this can exploit their privilege and make the cons work for years, though.

He was definitely a good person and didn't use his charm to trick people but I can totally see how that sort of upbringing could make someone an excellent con artist.
Definitely agree with that. We are trained well in our religion. And someone could easily pretend.

Every time there is the death of a child my heart breaks; not only for them but also for the first responders. The recovery of a dead child has to be something that stays with you forever. 😔
Some of the detectives involved in the Chris Watts case and recovery of the little girls' bodies have since retired with PTSD.
The emergency responders that saw baby Sterling Koehn were traumatized as well. When one of them was testifying at the trial of the parents, you can hear the pain in her voice having discovered that poor baby and the horrible state he was left in

I was raised a Jehovah’s Witness so this story always particularly horrified me. Thanks for covering it. It is a particularly difficult way to grow up…very isolating and no encouragement for personal growth and development beyond working towards the religion’s goals. So while I have empathy for Longo in that regard, his upbringing is no excuse for his vile, selfish actions.

This case is where my love of true crime and the cult I used to belong to come together. How terribly sad and horrifying - to throw your children alive into the water with no way to escape. You did a great job of explaining the “organization” and its controlling ideas - very concise and very accurate. Once again - great job!

I grew up Jehovah's Witness, unfortunately. When my mom decided to leave the church, her entire side of the family cut her off, kids included. So I grew up without an entire side of family and have never known them after about age 7 or 8. Good times!!
I knew someone whose JW husband was abusive. She sought help from their church, and was basically told to get on with it! She left with the children and her entire family cut her out of their lives. It's inhumane and really cruel. She had no one to support her. How could your own family do that?? That isn't very Christian is it?
@Chandra Cox It's good to know that your mother escaped that cult & you grew up unsullied by such craziness. My paternal granddaddy was somehow [a black] JW - our mandatory attendance at the KH though was an energy-draining affair that put me & some of the ancient ones to sleep, from which even being just 8 I was happily left out of - but the only thing I unforgettably remember him lashing out about was when me & my 2 sisters got gifted a board game called Ka-Bala; the old man blew his stack & hit the attic ceiling on that, near to foaming at the mouth as he raged about that game - & then, us being under their roof at the time, proceeded to destroy it. I could only hope that this episode didn't hasten the heart attack that took him away when I was only 9, but after that Granny had his entire basement office cleaned out & all JW material got the File 86 treatment, & we all "shunned" them with the quickness. If only Mary Jane had done likewise with this pathetic Lipless [Blu]nder as well as that cult! M.T.A.R.E.I.P. & this utter monstrosity get what it deserves, Real Soon.

Jesus! Why do I watch these while in bed trying to sleep? Anyone else wanna admit this too?
I do every night.
Thank you for so thoroughly covering this case! I am an ex-jw. There aren’t enough words to express how messed up and abusive that “religion” is. I’m so glad you took the time to understand how that would have factored into this particular case. The word is finally starting to get out. May this beautiful family rest in piece.
I do not see now JW factor in this case it all. Any church, beliefs, school and government system can become abrasive and kill a lot of plp (Hitler, etc). It happens when plp do not stand up for with us right and just follow orders. The Bible clearly tell everyone to make the truth your own and do not follow a crowd to do evil or not right. The government and the Bible says you shouldn’t steal but this man stole. The Bible and the government says you shouldn’t murder. JW don’t tell you to murder or steal and to be honest with you I wouldn’t want to hang out with a person I know is a murder and a know theft that keep on doing it. In our government that lock those people up for a reason and punish them and do not let them take part in society. I am not a JW but it not like Jones Town when it comes to this case. They disowned him when he was doing bad. Like the Bible says it hard to feel sorry for a snake charmer bite by his own snake. In other words it wise not to hang out with bad people. There was a man in Montgomery that was killed by the state bc he had a fiend that was a criminal and he shot and killed a cop, I do not believe he should have got death bc he didn’t shot no one and didn’t know the cops when coming to his house. However, he put himself in a bad spot by hanging out with a criminal. I seen a lot of plp ruin they life by hanging out with the wick many having they lives cut short.
Congrats on being out. Never mind the religious nutters that start lecturing about the bible and god and shit now on UA-cam. Live your life!

@@cathystrydom8731 The religious upbringing and influence played a crucial role in everything that happened though. There's no way to tell the story without talking about it.
Oh, someone I've never heard of. Thanks for bringing us lesser known cases. ✌🏻❤🏴
There is a film about this called true story on Netflix lass
This guy is actually worse than Watts. He's pretty well known in the real true crime community. Chris Longo, Chris Watts & Chris Coleman.
Lesser known?! It was featured in several true crime shows.

If I EVER have doubts about myself as being a good person, I just watch these stories, after that, though I'm not perfect, I feel better about myself
Comparing yourself by looking down on someone else is unwise.
I was raised as a witness, my brothers and sisters to this day believe it’s why we never had any kind of good relationship with our mother, none of us believed in the religion.
Howdy, Dwayne!!!
A good way to make your kids atheists and do the opposite of what you want is to foist a religion on them.
Because almost all religious parents are incapable of nuance or patience.
I am an ex jw.Been one for 25 years.I got out because it's a sect.And because they hide pedofilies.
I was raised in a strict Anglican and Kenyan family. You have to keep your grades up.,you have to be perfect, nice,helpful not just at home or in the church but everywhere because anyone can tell your parents you misbehaved and this was always followed by beatings. You are blamed for everything even when you are not involved in whatever is going on. You have to read and learn the bible from Genesis to Revelations because hey you are the pastors kid. Now as an adult I'm thankful for the lessons i learnt because i learnt how NOT to treat my kids
@@florinasimo5098 Agreed. Former close friends of mine - close like family, raising our children together - Their youngest daughter was unknowingly in the filthy hands of a paedophile. He was 'helping out' as her mother was in the early stages of MS., perfect opportunity for him, giving the girls rides to Kindom Hall, school, etc. Thankfully, their daughter told her older sister, but even after the parent's knew, nothing happened to the guy, because JW's have to report everything to the Elders, and they don't report it to the Police.
You really are blowing up my friend. Such a masterful story teller. I just love the GTFOH front door carpet that pops in every now and then
Yes! I love it too.
Me too!! Gotta get one 😆
Same!
@@colleenlally-ross7105 Me too lololol
It's so nice to see MONSTERS getting the attention he so richly deserves 👏!! I've been hooked since season 1, always feeling crappie for not "...buying him a coffee.." 😟at least now they're able to afford to make such awesome content 👏
Moral of the story: if you don’t want your kid to become a family annihilator, don’t name him Chris 🤘
🤣🤣🤣
@@leah_amy let’s start a timer to see how long it takes for all the Chris’s to come at me 🤔
Ha! TRUE!!!!
Haha it's definitely the name 😂😂
Or any variation, apparently. 😬😬
Both of my grandparents are Jehovah’s Witness and they stopped speaking to me after I told them I was tired of the meeting and going door to door but what my grandmother failed to tell everyone is before she married my grandfather and was forced into it, she was Wiccan. So 🤷🏻♀️
It’s a huge cult.
So? It doesn’t matter what a person was. Were you disfellowshipped? If not they would have no reason to stop speaking to you. You have no understanding of the reason we preach obviously. Who wouldn’t want a real hope for the future?
This was one of those cases that seriously chilled me to the bone. The show Final Witness did an episode on this case. So senseless. Why didn't he just leave. Because he couldn't handle her family knowing he was a loser....
I remember that show! It was told the story in the victims voice. The scene at the end where the actors were holding up the pictures of the real children made me cry.
@@peppermintpetty6766 Yes! Thank you for your comments Nicky & Peppermint. I will never forget that show. It was so powerful & respectfully presented. RIP Mary Jane, Zachery, Sadie & Madison Baker.❤🌹
Oh man, there are no words. Reminds me of Chris W’s story. Very sad and horrendous 😡😢
I was just about to comment about that. I wonder if he knew of this story when he (Chris W) came up with that lie
Right👍
Hi from Austria 🇦🇹
@@allycat824 Maybe. But prior to Chris Watts implicating Shannan in the murders the detectives planted the idea of Chris killing Shannan after she had killed the kids. As a face saving way to try to get him to admit to murder. Then awhile later after some pressure suddenly Chris admits to killing Shannan after he alleged she killed the kids.
@@dspecter1187 fair enough. I don't know a lot about the interrogation part of the story
Ans Chris Coleman
Aaaaaah, whenever I hear that Jehovah's Wickedness is involved, you know you're dealing with good, salt-of-the-earth people.
Also, Sarcasm needs a font.
Great idea. Thank you.
🤣🤣
Its not a font but
"YoU kNow yOuR deAliNg wItH goOd saLt oF tHe EarTh PeOplE."
Is generally now a good way to textually convery sarcasm.
I’ve seen people add a “ /s “ to the end of a statement to mean it’s sarcastic
No matter how many times I’ve heard a crime story be told, I’ll always watch your videos because you add things I’ve never heard.
As an ex (or disfellowshiped) Jehovah’s Witness, all he says is true. It’s wild.
I remember a friend at school who was a JW and she came over after school for food as her parents had an appointment... I vividly remember going to turn on a movie called hocus pocus and had to switch it off as she wasn't allowed to watch it and got incredibly upset about it. 😞
You know it’s not!
Dude. As a former Jehovah's witness, you really described them well. Thank you 😂
It's so crazy to read through these comments and see current Witnesses bitch about how wrong I am and ex-Witnesses say how right I am.
@@thisisMONSTERS ummm current witnesses should know better than to be watching this worldly content 😂 ! Please keep it coming, I love this channel !
@@thisisMONSTERS You were very correct in this. The rank and file members don't know lots that goes on higher up. You were very fair.
@@thisisMONSTERS you are 100% right. Also women are not allowed any leadership role in the congregations. They can never be an “elder” which is what the male leadership are called. They hated my mother was married to an outsider especially because my father was a philosophical, science loving hippie. Of course my father did not convert and only showed up to the “memorial” (essentially Passover). We were threatened to be “disfellowshipped” because of it. They would use me to knock on doors at 8 years old because people were less likely to slam the door in our face and were more likely to take their watchtower and awake magazines. You’re not allowed to hangout with “worldly people”, but also not allowed to receive blood if you need it. We weren’t allowed to celebrate birthdays or holidays because it’s worldly. My mother began to feel bad for us and eventually left. Those are just the sprinkles on top of the cultish sundae that some people eat up. Hope of everlasting life here on earth when Jehovah and his 144,000 souls from earth wipes out the wicked making earth a paradise for our dead Jehovah Witness relatives to be resurrected. What a crock of crazy. There were some very good people, but they were brainwashed. Anyway I love your channel . You’re a great story teller. Keep up the great work!
@@lorenisevil lmao that is exactly what the elders would preach. They just blew their chance for the resurrection.

Seeing the photos and videos of those babies and hearing what happened…… The rage is hard to set aside
I just want to thank you for your consistancy and the tons of research that I’m sure you conduct for your videos. I can’t get enough of this series! Sincerely, thank you for all you do!
Don't trust him, his name is Chris! 🧐
Honestly, how does he maintain this level of researched detail AND amazing upload schedule (I dunno if it’s really a schedule, but the rate he puts out content blows me away considering the depth he he goes into.).
Like, he doesn’t just read a true crime website summary and turn it into a slideshow. Sometimes it seems a person could only gather so much info by reading multiple books on the case and doing independent research. That would take me so long to do and that’s just his prep for the videos, never mind the time and effort of actually recording/editing them complete with visuals and video clips. He obviously takes his job seriously and takes pride in his work.
It’s on par with television series minus the silly reenactments. And he actually speaks un-repetitively at a good clip packing more info into five min of narrative than an entire episode of one of those shows, while keeping it respectful by telling the story without hyping up the drama-for-entertainment. It’s just…outstanding.
*CONSISTENCY
He was wrong about some of the Jehovah’s witnesses facts
He didn't.research, MUCH of what he said was NOT accurate
I was raised as a JW and its a cult for sure!! The disfellowshipping tore my family apart along with other things
I was as well, I left when I was 20. It had a profound effect on my life leaving was not only the best thing I ever did it was necessary to have a decent life. It's an awful cult.
I'm so sorry to hear this happened to your family. I'd heard rumours about JWs but thought it was mainly BS.
My favorite part of these videos is how respectable you are. You talk about true crime with basic respect and decency for the diseased while not sugarcoating the nature of the killers. It can be hard to find someone who treat the unfortunate dead with the proper respect
It sounds like you have intimate knowledge of the "religion"... you're spot on, and I appreciate your candor
Another absolute quality episode of Monsters 🤗
I still find it hard to understand that killing your whole family is any kind of solution to your problems in life 🤔
Keep up the good work fella, I'm sure that in the future you'll be doing an episode on the Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie horror story that is now unfolding as we speak 😪
I do wish they would find his cowardly punk a$$. But I wonder if he’s taken the cowards way out and is rotting somewhere.
Damn him, I hope so to! Rotting in some swampy hole. He killed Gabby, so he doesn't deserve to be living at all. 😡

If you happen to be a sociopath without any real human feelings,it becomes apparent.
Perfect way to spend this gloomy rainy day… cuddled up with my husband, the dogs & cat while binge watching monsters videos!
💯🤟🏻❤️🥰.
Did u guys do the hibbidy dibbidy?
Something oddly disturbing about "enjoying" these horrible stories.
Love the name!
Thank you so much for always including the domestic abuse hotline at the end of your videos. I wrote True Crime as my first job and have heard horrifying stories from both men and women. The addition of your help lines brings a great gravitas to your videos and grounds your viewers back to some very harsh realities. It shows you care, you make informative as well as instructive and intriguing stories, are an excellent narrator and truly care about your viewers and how they can seek help. I so enjoy your channel and your heartfelt conclusion (you're also a damn fine wise ass, and that's never a bad thing.)
The sarcasm in all your videos makes everything so much better. I never thought I would get giggles from true crime videos.

"Do you thi-"
"Yes look at this picture"
"Say less"
@@christophernewton8531 say less? You mean say yes? I’m confused I’m being thick
OMG, I have watched his story on several different T.C. shows and NONE of them, even hour long episodes had this depth of information. This is tremendous work. Thank you for helping me understand why that poor woman stayed. I hope that Mary Jane and her children were welcomed into their version of paradise.
Being married and having kids (I have two kids under three) is difficult, but holy cow, I'd never be able to fathom doing that to them. My seven-month-old wakes up with a huge smile on his face because he's just happy to see Daddy, and my oldest asks me to play with him. The thought of doing anything close to what this guy did to my kids... unfathomable.
For any metalheads out there, The Acacia Strain have a song referencing this guy called "Worthless". Fitting title if you ask me. The band tossed in a sample from the film "True Story" starring Jonah Hill and James Franco, which was also based on this case.
Really good movie!!
Holy shit. I’m from Newport! This ROCKED our small community. He worked at our local Starbucks in Fred Meyer. Seemed like a nice guy, like they do. People still talk about this and it’s been almost 20 years.
It’s pronounced Yah-Hots. Lol
Thanks for covering!!
I came across monster's on accident. Ive been hooked evet since. Great content.
I was raised in this cult and its awful it gave me anxiety all the time
Me too. Still to this day have a nightmares and constant anxiety :(
Exactly it's a cult of delusional abusive crazy ignorants.
@@maggepena4970 The hardest thing for me is that even tho no longer I am affiliated with that group I still struggle with the maybes of what if they believe is real and so on. Constant mind fuck and fear I would not wish on anyone, especially kids.
My ex is a jahova witness we was together for 5 years her mother brainwashed here to their beliefs of JWs..so she left me and married another man ..now she's is in a controlling relationship and says she stuck because jehova wants them to stay together
@@ricocheteraw90sthebestdecade she made her bed she has to lie in it - don’t let her come crawling back to you , would her husband be happy she’s reaching out to you to discuss her marriage problems? I don’t think so - so tell her to go to a marriage counsellor because you aren’t one!! and it will just end up with you always being on the end of the phone at 3am etc - iv been there and you just become someone they can lean on when it’s thought sht she left she knew you were good to be with she still didn’t care :)
Lived in Oregon my whole life and can confirm this is something everyone remembers (if old enough). It was very disconcerting. Because they'd only been on the coast for a short time, when a young boy was found that no one seemed to be missing it was a huge mystery. There's a mother who threw her two kids from the Sellwood Bridge up here in Portland. That was a nightmare as well.
Note to self:
1. Never name your child Chris.
2. Beware of anyone named Chris.
3. Never trust Chris.
Unless you are in some way connected to the MCU.
My father was a child abuser and his name: Chris.
Santa Claus is kinda touchy,creepy.His name, Kris.
Or Travis.
Chris hemsworth?
Chris Pratt?
Chris (captain America)?
More importantly, don't name your son Christian! And never trust adult who hasn't changed such a ridiculous name as soon as he was old enough to do so.
He put his poor family through hell. Public humiliation, losing everything, and then the unthinkable!
Yep he sure did. Ladies gotta be careful with the men they chose to marry whew….😢
@@YaLittleFriend there are loads of cases of women killing their family and or hiring a hitman to kill them. Coffeehouse Crime and That Chapter just did a horrible one about a woman who hired 3 hitmen to kill her husband. Meanwhile he worked 2 jobs to support his family while she did nothing. Humans have to be careful about which humans they marry. It's a 2 way street.
@@ayearinthelifeofanxietyjoe4413 What do you want to say with your statement? That you are o.k.with Longo murdering his entire family??May be that there are some women hiring a hitman for their husbands but much more men abuse, beat or murder their spouses or girlfriends!
As a former member of the Jehovah's witness "religion" I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your research on this one! All their rules sound crazy, but all you've stated is 100% accurate! Great video as usual - I've always been fascinated by this case!
I thought it was accurate as well, though some commenters aren't happy. There used to be a couple of TV programmes on this story available on youtube. It's a heartbreaker.
It wasn't accurate at my hall when I used to go. Mine was in Northern California and we never had those rules
@@masterbruce556 guarentee you did. But the elders may not have enforced them, or you're unbaptized....since you said former, not current.
Please don't speak of things you don't know.
I was born and raised in that cult. Yes, it's a cult.
I completely agree with Mona!
Accurate all the way across the board!
@@masterbruce556 Shunnnnnnnnnnnn!
I love your sharp humor while describing this monsters. You are really great. Loving this channel ❤
When he said, "And in our eyes a Monster!" was a killer ending! Excellent episode 👏
What a monster. The way he killed the two younger kids is beyond cruel. Forcing them to drown.
I audibly gasped when I heard he weighted down those babies in the water STILL ALIVE! It's hard to imagine somebody being so disgustingly callous.
Watch “Fiddler on the roof.” Get some fkn morals… we are imbedded with them: how can you killers face nature and HER DYNAMIC PUNISHMENTS??? Good f’n luck, pasties. Survival is not in favor for you!
This is a story I do not think I have ever heard before. Thank you for sharing this story. I really enjoy your channel❤
The beautiful faces of his wife and children ….heartbreaking 😢
The best way to start my Monday!
Definitely!
HAPPY MONDAY! 💣💣💣
Right? Nothing like Monsters and a cup of coffee to start off the week.
Errr.... Rather than being a Jehovah's Witness; I decided to become a Jehovah's Bystander:
I saw what happened, I just don't want to get involved.....
Ba dum tsssss!🤣🤣🤣🤣Lol!!
The scariest thing is that Chris reminds me very forcefully of my ex. He used to do a lot of things financially to try to get money that he really didn’t have. I could imagine my ex doing this exact thing in this situation.
Literally my grandma took me and my toddler little brother to the Oregon coast and we were literally in a hotel right next to where they found the bodies! I remember watching it on TV and my grandma chain-smoking cigarettes and holding me and telling us it was going to be okay. I just kept getting so creeped out that the bodies were right outside our hotel.. I saw the crime scene tape and as a kid it really impacted me. It made me pay attention more to my surroundings, be more observant and find interest in true crime.
wooow so sorry you experienced that
@@aishabush1655 oh it's something I just wanted to share because it was just one of those way too crazy set of circumstances to not share it here kind of things. (I really feel for people who were affected by this atrocity, I just can't believe this lined up with when my grandma took me to the coast. Plus our hotel door looking right out to the water, right where they found the victims bodies.. just a totally crazy thing. Living in Oregon you just don't feel like something like that would happen since it's such a rare occurrence)
Was just looking for something to watch! Perfect timing 😊

Missed opportunity to say “The Longos were long gone.” When they ran from the cops. But great video as always!
What a wild episode, I can't believe I haven't heard this one before... Thank you and keep up the great work!
I live in Oregon and this case is familiar to me. You have explained it more thoroughly than I have heard before.
This Channel and JCS (THOUGH DIFFERENT) are the BEST true crime channels on UA-cam. I thoroughly enjoy your delivery and find myself re-watching certain content!!! Thank you for all your hard work.
Deadbugsays is another top notch true crime channel. It's a bit more abrasive and less sugar coated,not for everyone. But there's no just liking that channel, can't help but love it! Or hate it, I suppose. No in the middle, at any rate.
JCS rarely posts on his channel. Bummer
Similar voices lol
@@otterpopknott6149 jcs has been targeted by UA-cam and their videos are mostly gone
@@jenni_noura9170 Is that definitely true? I know JCS has a patreon and posts videos for members, but they have a few videos left on their channel. How are all these "JCS inspired" channels videos still up? But JCS is the only true crime channel targeted. Something seems off to me.
I had a best friend in elementary school that was named Chris Longo and for a second when you said Chris Longo I shit bricks. Phew, I hope no one ever recognizes someone they used to know here.
You have the best voice!! I could listen to you explaining the most irritating and boring things. I would enjoy it so much, just because of your voice and the perfect timing you have.
Thank you so much for the hard work! ❤️
I appreciate the way you put the crisis hotlines at the end of your videos. As a survivor of domestic violence, these things are very important.
