 What's going on you guys feels like it's been a while Haven't done a stream in a very very long time. I Think it's probably been a couple years or so So I've already got several you guys tuning in good to see all of you give YouTube a minute to To catch up here Turn down my monitor over here Yeah, good to see all you guys glad All of you could make it so far. There we go now now. We're starting to connect. There we go It's weird doing these streams because like if you're just uploading to YouTube or something you just upload people watch it When they want to watch it But with YouTube you got to be careful with like the latency and everything because like I'm talking to you right now in real Time, but this chat is like 15 20 seconds behind and so far like the views that are coming in so I can't tell when we're actually connected, but Looks like we're going good. So that's that's great. I see all you guys showing up And by the way, um, I'm sure I'm sure most of you guys probably already knew this but I was in the hospital last week I am back home now So if you guys hear some some crazy Some crazy noises coming from the background. I promise no one is like kicking puppies or anything We we have several goats And the goats all hours of the day just constant screaming especially the little baby ones We started off with these goats that sounded like typical like bad goats But my wife got some from uh, I guess you'd say a neighbor several miles down the road And I don't know if you knew this about goats, but depending on the herd that they're from They have different accents and so these new ones we brought in they have like They all have like this little girl voice And they will scream into the night just the the loudest most blood-curdling little girl screams you've ever heard But it's just baby goats. So I promise if you hear some weirdness going on It's not as weird as it may seem. It's it's just goats Looks like bad kitty just became a member of the channel. Nice to have you on And if you guys also want to become members of the channel, uh, all you have to do is I believe it's on Let me look here. I think you can do it on the live stream, too You can Join the channel and what that gets you is that you are able to See new videos several days before they're posted and hopefully in the future Maybe even up to a week or two before they're posted But right now with kind of the working time with everything going on right now It's usually just a few days before videos go live So yeah, if you guys are interested in seeing stuff early, be sure to check out the membership page There's some other perks on there, too, but that's the main thing is just early content Yeah, nice nice to have you on bad kitty. That's cool So yeah, it looks like uh, I'm seeing a whole bunch of comments here people asking like so what's what's going on You know looking better feeling better all that kind of stuff Yeah, so so basically what happened is I've I've got some underlying health issues always have since I was a little kid. I was born with some of them and So about three weeks ago I don't really know specifically what happened what led to this the doctors this state They still haven't figured it out either But basically about three weeks ago I started having just kind of some gut troubles And it didn't take too long before that turned into I'm gonna I'm gonna try to keep this PG and not just totally gross you guys out But it basically turned into like severe internal bleeding and I'm not just talking like Stuff that everybody deals with from time to time I'm talking like a concerning amount and it was just not letting up and it continued on for about three weeks or so I talked to a couple doctors about it Um, I'm not gonna say they blew me off, but they did kind of seem largely uninterested They thought it was normal based on you know, the other health issues I have Just to put it into perspective, I have Crohn's disease. It's a type of uh gastrointestinal illness that causes inflammation from time to time And along with that can come you know bleeding and stuff, but this this was not that This was significant and this was like very worrisome And so I talked with my GI doctor on and off about that, but like I said, he just didn't seem too interested And so I just blew it off because I figured, you know, maybe I'm just blowing it out of proportion too So a week goes by another week goes by and finally a third week goes by and it just keeps getting worse and worse And I believe it was a friday when I finally decided like I got I got to go get seen But I was really trying to hold over through that weekend where I could go to a doctor on a monday where they would have Kind of they're more of their Not gonna say typical doctors, but like you know, like your weekday doctors and stuff. So I could go get seen then So that friday hits I can't get off the couch I barely got a video out for the top five unknowns channel, which is just a narration barely got that out I could not get off the couch after that Friday saturday sunday, I was able to get up a little bit but by that night I would I mean you may as well just beat me over the head with a stick dude Like I was I was I felt straight up dead like a literal walking zombie And so I make it to the hospital that next morning come to find out The reason for that is because of all the aforementioned blood loss and everything So they ran all these tests and everything. I mean test. I've never even heard of all kinds of stuff But the crazy thing is even though I'm back home now They still never figured out what actually caused it. They were able to rule out It wasn't you know, like a crone's disease thing or anything like that. It was just Inflammation that's all they could come up with they obviously they did like scopes and stuff to try to see what they could find They couldn't find anything So at the moment I hesitate to say that I'm actually better. I certainly feel better. I'm sure you guys can tell that too But at the moment, they've basically just kind of got me propped up on like Like like prednisone like steroids and stuff just to try to keep the inflammation at bay, but We still really don't know What the issue was and there is a good chance that after you know, these steroids have run their course That it could just come right back and I could end up back in the same boat again It's just a matter of just kind of wait and see I'm hopeful that the steroids are going to kick it My doctor did have one theory and this is a theory. I was actually waiting to share with you guys on the stream because I feel like this is I feel like this is something that a lot of us can learn from Especially if you're one of those people that's kind of really into like supplements and stuff So let me let me turn this monitor off here. It's trying to Kind of making things lag a little bit. Let's see if that helps So yeah, basically he has one theory about what might have been happening So Like I said, if you guys are into supplements and stuff, you know that you can buy supplements at say walmart amazon Everywhere's got some kind of supplement. But the problem with a lot of those is that they're not very well Vetted, I guess you would say there's not like There's not like an organization that really tests all these things Especially on websites like amazon, for example, so you can go to amazon and you can search Say migraine supplements, for example There's like a thousand different migraine supplements that you can buy on amazon all from different brands None of none of which are brands you've ever heard of most likely And that was a theory that one of my doctors had is that uh, so my wife and I we take a lot of mushroom supplements There's a whole lot of health benefits that come along with, you know, various, uh, you know, edible mushrooms and stuff And so we take these mushroom supplements all the time But I noticed over the last several weeks our last batch of these supplements Kind of smelled like mold a lot and you would think well, obviously it's a mushroom It smells like mold but no mushrooms and mold smell very different. They smelled like mold But I never struck me as odd for whatever reason. I just I assumed they just smell weird But my doctor had a theory and my wife kind of had this same theory, too That if something was actually wrong with those mushroom supplements and we were continually ingesting those Well, that could be the answer It could have been a simple case of getting a bad batch of supplements on amazon But we really just don't know so That's basically the story of what happened We don't know what caused it We don't know why it stopped so suddenly other than, you know, the uh, the the the the steroids But that that's the doctor's theory. That's my theory. That's my wife's theory on what's going on I obviously have stopped taking those particular supplements. We switched to a much more reputable brand and Hopefully that will get things under control. We just have to wait and see That's pretty much what we're at now is just kind of a wait and see thing But I am feeling a whole lot better. Definitely ready to get back to making videos and stuff I've actually been making videos for top five unknowns for basically What since Friday? So last few days now Definitely getting back into the swing of things feeling feeling a little better. So I do appreciate all you guys reaching out and everything the Amount of support was unlike anything I could have ever imagined I I really didn't want to have to put that video up because like I'd mentioned You know in that video I try to keep this channel for actual videos for you know the victims for their stories and everything And I don't want to make this channel all about me. Now. I don't mind doing streams and stuff That's cool. You guys want to hang out. I love hanging out with you guys and doing this kind of stuff But as far as the main videos I try to keep that kind of stuff You know as videos as stories as cases and whatnot So it really bothered me to put that video up in the first place But I'm I'm super excited that you guys were we're so willing to listen. It was so well received And so so many of you guys reached out to me in the comments and messages Uh through patreon even and the thing that that really struck me is that so many of you guys went out of your way Just even send him like super chats and stuff and that was so so unexpected I never I never would have asked you guys to do that. But I I'm certainly grateful that you did It's certainly not like you guys don't have to do that kind of thing like I'll be I'll be fine My wife will be fine. Everything will be fine. But that that's what really hit me Is I was I was laying there in the hospital bed trying to fall asleep Couldn't because I had that procedure the next day and I'm sitting here just scrolling on my phone And I see this person sent $15 this person sent $20. This person sent $100. It's like what in the world Like I I could have never never imagined That you guys would have cared that much and I'm just I'm so grateful so grateful for all of you guys And especially for all of you guys who who became new members of the channel too Like I mentioned if you guys want to see videos early if you want to see uh Kind of behind the scene stuff occasionally. I'm not I'm not I'm gonna be truthful with you I don't post too much behind the scene stuff on there But if you guys do want to become members of the channel, you will get access to early videos You get priority, uh, something to do with the comments like you get priority Like your comments rank higher than other people is that kind of thing so If that if you guys want to become members that that would that would be amazing There's something in it for both of us that way It doesn't make me feel kind of guilty just taking super chats and stuff I at least give can give you guys something in return such as you know behind the scenes or early content and stuff But yeah guys, I I'm just I'm so appreciative of the love and support that you guys gave me. It's just insane It's insane I do want to look here and see There were so many of you guys that became members And I want I want to call you guys out by name because that was so incredible Let me bring my list up here While I'm bringing this up, uh Darcy, sorry, I'm not I'm not even going to try to pronounce your last name I have no idea how to pronounce that I just offend you, but Darcy's asking what did I do to my fingers? That's it That's a good story too that ties in with the goat. So I was mentioning a minute ago. So I basically I broke my Let's see. I forget what this bone is called. It's it's been a long time since I was in biology But I broke this bone here While tending to our goats So like I mentioned, we got some new baby goats from a family down the road from us here and The thing with goats is you kind of have to integrate them slowly kind of like like any animal begin to be a dogs Cats even chickens or whatever you have to integrate animals slowly because they're stubborn Well, it was it was our mistake. We kind of didn't and so we had a mama goat Who had just given birth? Uh, I don't know two or three weeks prior and then we brought in this additional baby goat Well, the mama goat was protective of her own baby goat and she didn't like the new baby goat So she started attacking the new baby goat And so I did the only thing I knew to do What happened was the mama goat had jumped and latched on to the baby goat's ear and mind you this baby was I think she was like six weeks old at the time So this mama dove in grabbed on to this baby goat's ear and wasn't letting go So the only thing I knew to do was just dive in myself and try to rip her off of her and in doing so I I got caught in the middle of it and broke like I said, whatever this bone down here is called It gave me what's called a reverse boxers fracture It's kind of like it if you if you punch someone wrong You break kind of this area of your bone up here But what I did is I got I basically got caught like a karate chop pretty much right on her forehead And I broke mine down here And so yeah, that's why my hand was taped up for like what two months or so So hopefully that answers that question Darcy And Phoebe Kate. It's good to see you too. Glad you were able to to make it to the stream You were one of the new members of the channel if I remember right? Let me finish bringing that list up here So we have several several new members of the channel I wish I could put your names up actually on screen, but to be perfectly honest with you I'm I'm pretty new to this streaming software and I don't actually know how to do that yet But I am trying to learn so I'm just going to call you guys out by name Uh Phoebe Kate obviously you were one of the new members another one was scary poppins Then we've got willow wind farms also a new member this week Mail Kwan, I hope I'm saying your name right mail Kwan That's got to be how that is if not if mail if if you're here and that's not how you pronounce your name Just let me know in the chat and I'll correct it We've got Tammy secure John Groton Ellen Turner and Hulk knocks now Hulk knocks.

So feel free to join if you are if you're interested in that kind of thing Deborah Fleming asks. I am I still in the hospital? Rewind a little bit. I told that story pretty much right at the beginning of the stream So if you're interested in the in the hospital stuff Uh, I don't want to bore everybody by just retelling the same story over and over So if you're interested that I mentioned that like first off, so Thank you, Adam. I'm glad I'm doing better too. Happy to happy to be home I'll admit being in the hospital it it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be the actual stay Now the sickness was like I said, I felt like a literal zombie. I felt actually dead because I knew blood left. They almost had to give me a transfusion But uh, yeah, it it wasn't as bad as I thought the hospitals around here actually pretty pretty great So outside of the sickness. It wasn't that big of a deal honestly other than being you know not being able to work and whatnot Mr. Sippy says fellow guitar player here. What kind of music do you play? So I'll listen to a little bit of everything, but I play pretty much exclusively uh punk kind of Maybe some kind of more rock stuff, but I'm pretty much exclusively into you know, like punk and stuff as far as playing I play drums too. I mostly play drums These guitars are actually from I'm not gonna say. Well, I guess I should say years ago. It's been 2017 I was I was in a punk band Uh for about five years up until 2017 Uh, I quit playing in that band to try to focus more on youtube and thankfully so because it's been going great so far But uh, yeah, most of these guitars I've had for several years since way back then Uh, I was in a band called falling awake. Let me see It's on that guitar there. You can see the logo Falling awake there. Obviously a punk band played guitar Did the vocals and uh did bass when we didn't have a bass player And uh, obviously did like uh, you know, like the engineering and stuff like that But yeah, mostly punk music. I got all kind of guitars. This is just these are just the four I could fit in the frame I want to try to get the rest of them put up hung up around the walls and stuff too But that's all I could fit back here In time for the stream So Trixie Bay Bay says I think I'm pretty sure that food's called the fuh, right? It's like a Isn't that like a like a soup kind of thing Says always makes uh makes me feel better. I've yet to have fuh Um, right when I got sick, uh, my family and my wife and I we all went out of town and And went to a ramen restaurant and that was the first time I'd had authentic ramen I got to be honest. I wasn't into it. I'm just wasn't I'm not really into the asian Cuisines too much now. I love like like uh, like chinese food and stuff, but fuh, that's a that's a bit It's a bit too far for me. I think but I may have to try it sometime if we can find an actual like a good Fuh restaurant Uh beta asks did I say punk and yes punk music like uh Say bands like the story so far knuckle puck neck deep Um bands probably most people never even heard of um a day to remember you could kind of consider punk They're more post-hardcore, but he has stuff like that Patrick crimman asks what's the most disturbing video you've made That's interesting because I try not to make my videos too disturbing. I try to keep them fairly family friendly Um, if you're asking what the most disturbing case was That's a really good question. Let me look back here and see there are a few that stick out immediately But let me look back here because there is one I did A good while back But I redid it recently once the channel started once some new members came into the channel or new uh viewers came into the channel and everything I redid that video because most people had never Never heard that story never heard of that case Let me look here I'll tell you what My answer's got to be ray revera. That is that's one of my favorite cases that I've ever done it's a case that Depending on how you look at it is a little bit overdone because I feel like people Try to sensationalize it a bit more than it should be And I kind of consider myself one of those people too if we're being honest But that was never my intention, but a couple people did call me out for that in the comments So ray revera is uh, if you want to watch this video on the channel later on The title of the video is mystery on the rooftop and the thumbnail is ray revera the impossible crime That was a weird one. It was basically this guy And I'm probably gonna butcher this story because it's been This has been back in august when I covered this case, but it was basically this guy That was either pushed off of a rooftop or jumped off of a rooftop but the thing is the rooftop That he was uh ejected from There was really no access to that to that roof. It was on top of a hotel if I remember right And the problem was even if you could access that part of the roof The distance that he would have had to have either jumped or been pushed It was something like 45 feet But he only had a running distance of I want to say it was about six to ten feet And there was no logical way that this guy could have either jumped that distance Or been pushed that distance, but basically the guy somehow was ejected off the top of a roof And crashed in to I believe a second story ceiling Below like it was like a multi-level hotel. So like one level was here. The other level was here He was ejected from this level down onto the ceiling of this one through the ceiling and obviously hit the ground and lost his life But that was a weird one because no one was ever able to figure out A how did he get on the roof and b how did he jump such a long distance forward? And collapse through it. I don't know. It was crazy. So if you if you guys haven't seen that video I would definitely recommend checking it out. There was a whole lot of other stuff going on Before that like this guy was involved in some just some shady stuff But it that was that was a great story. That was definitely one of the creepiest ones I've ever covered one of the creepiest stories I've ever heard in general to be perfectly honest Darling nicky says best narrator voice ever. I don't know about the best ever, but I appreciate it. Thank you I'm hoping after all this sickness and stuff's over. I'm going to get my voice back I don't know if you guys can can tell through the through the stream right now or not, but I'm struggling to keep my voice It just comes and goes when it feels like it Melissa Rose says I'm totally blind and can't fully participate in the youtube experience But I enjoy the stories you share and your dedication to detail and respect for the victims. Thank you. Thank you too, Melissa Thank you I'm glad you're able to still get enjoyment out of it even if you can't see the videos firsthand. That's awesome Jill Morton says so glad you're doing better went back and watched a ton of your past videos Thank you guys all so much for doing that that It felt like a big favor to ask and I know a lot of you guys really went just clean out of your way To try to help me keep the channel active and and keep views coming in and everything That meant the world to me that so so many of you guys We're willing to just go back and just watch old videos or even just go back and just Like the videos and I know a lot of you guys also said that you you you turned on the uh true crime stories Playlist and just went to bed and let it play Fine by me. I appreciate that so much um I was so worried when I first went in the hospital because The way youtube works I explained this a little bit in the last video Is that you have to constantly constantly put out content And if you fall off of your schedule even for a little bit YouTube will penal not not youtube won't penalize you but the algorithm will penalize you pretty severely for that And what that means is that your future videos don't get served to your subscribers and then inadvertently They also don't get served to potential new subscribers either You know like on on your main youtube homepage you have like recommended videos Well, if your views just fall off because you didn't upload for a week Well, then your videos won't show up on those recommended pages So I really appreciate you guys going back and actually trying to help keep those views coming in I'm trying to be as transparent with you guys as possible during this whole situation because You've just been so supportive this whole time and I appreciate it so much I was able to actually see Shortly after I posted that video announcing that I was going to be in the hospital There was like an obvious spike in views right after that and that really did help Tied the channel over until I could get back home and get back to Recording and editing and writing and everything. So I do have One video coming up this coming sunday just just like, you know, I always upload on sundays I do have a normal video coming out this sunday and I was able to get another video Drafted and written for today So videos are back kind of, you know, they're coming back slowly but surely so this week We should be back on schedule with normal uploads So I just appreciate you guys so much helping me out during that time There was nothing I could do but just sit back and watch and and and you guys were incredible I'm so grateful for that Mr. Sippy says the the young lady from Ole Miss is my all-time fave that you've done That that was that was a pretty cool story that that really was very interesting Lysha Jacob says is the reason you put bible verses at the end of your videos because you're christian. Yeah. Yeah, pretty much I just I try not to push my religion on anybody But I do want to share it with people because it's helped me so much over the years So I know some of you guys you get kind of annoyed by the scriptures I put at the end of the videos and that's fine I mean, you don't have to read them, but I put them there for the people that that maybe they'll get something out of it Because I know I get a whole lot out of it Buttercup says I'm well I lost it. Where'd it go? There it is. I'm very glad to have found your channel today I'm glad you found it too. Thank you Jenny Jones a channel member says yes that Ray Rivera case was super spooky. It definitely was that that story was straight up weird Wade Worthington says you should do video on the Pike County Massacre. It's out of Ohio Let me look that up. I don't I don't know if I've heard of that one offhand Pike County Massacre Do some some live action research here. See what this one's about The only problem with with doing cases where it involves a large number of people like that Is that YouTube is real strict with that kind of thing, especially after the whole Las Vegas thing a few years back YouTube has really started to tighten down on I see I even have to be careful about how I say it I shouldn't have said that word a minute ago or they could flag this whole stream But YouTube has really tightened down on these multiple Unaliving cases that are caused by individual people. Hopefully that makes enough sense It looks like that take place back in August. Is that right? How did I miss this? That's like all over the news. How on earth did I miss that? That's crazy. I'll have to read up on that. I don't know how on earth. I missed that huh Well, thank you for The suggestion there Wade Worthington And if you guys have any stories that you want me to cover or stories you want me to just look up while we're sitting around the stream I'm happy to do it Always looking for new cases. I've got a list of cases in my phone here That uh, I'm working on getting you know, just kind of working through them just one by one But yeah, if you guys have any suggestions as far as cases, I'm all ears. I'll happily look them up right now We got all the time in the world Erica Bowen says have you thought about adding in some corporate crimes? Not just interpersonal I have thought about doing that. I've I believe I've done a video or two like that in the past But most of those videos I ended up taking down because I reformatted the show. I even renamed the show um, this was back in I think it was the very beginning of 2022 I tried to rework the channel a bit. I rebranded my channel was called true crime mysteries And I know a lot of you guys have probably been here since those days But I had to rebrand to true crime stories because it was running out of mysteries I kind of boxed myself into a corner with that And also there were people that flat didn't like mysteries. They don't like open-ended stories Me personally, I love open-ended stories because of just the possibilities that you know that just the thought of it But I decided to rebrand to true crime stories But I believe I did do a couple um kind of more. I guess you'd call them corporate crimes back then But yeah, most those videos I've set to private now because the quality just wasn't great The editing wasn't great. And like I said, I rebranded the name of the channel changed and all that stuff. So Yeah, I will you know what I'm going to go ahead and add that to my list of cases to consider here more corporate crimes Because it can get a bit I'm not going to say What's the word? I'm I guess exhausting it can get a bit exhausting To constantly be doing these more personal cases not because the cases don't need to be done Not because they're overdone even But it just it can kind of bum you out, you know, like sometimes Like like heists and stuff bank robberies. Yes, people are still hurt in heists and bank robberies But like who doesn't love a good heist or a good bank robbery as far as the story like that kind of stuff's just interesting Whereas a lot of these cases When when they get really dark and it's just kind of sometimes there's like day after day after day It's just like dark case dark case darker case. It can get exhausting. So I'll definitely entertain The idea of more uh less personal crimes if that's something you guys Uh would be interested in let me let me know in the chat if that's something you guys are interested in Or if you're if you're more interested in just the you know, the more personal stuff Let me know what you think But i'm gonna add that here just in case How did you get here? How did you start covering true crime on youtube? It was actually something I kind of just kind of fell into so i've i've been in a true crime My entire life. I mean literally my entire life I remember watching shows like like like er and csi with my parents when I was like five and six years old And by the time I was eight or nine I was like into it My I I never got into the more documentary kind of you know side of things But I loved stuff like criminal minds the mentalist the mentalist was it was one of my favorites Crossing jordan, you know all those old kind of early to mid 2000s crime shows But as far as how did I get into it? It kind of it was one of those things that just kind of happened because I was actually more interested when I first started youtube back in 2016 2017 I was more interested in I'm not going to say paranormal stuff But I was really interested in like the alien kind of stuff ufo is that kind of stuff And so I started posting videos about aliens ufo's and all that kind of stuff, you know government cover-ups and all that I'm using a lot of trigger words here for the algorithm. I guess I got to be careful But I was into that kind of stuff And as I started researching those cases more and more I found that some of those stories actually had ties to true crime And around that same time. I was also just narrating Creepy stories a few guys have been on the internet long enough. You know what a creepy pasta is It's basically just a fictional story people post online I was narrating those for a while too and that also kind of had some ties into true crime And all of a sudden I get a message or an email one day rather from a guy named will who runs channel you probably heard of top five unknowns and he offered me a job as a narrator for that channel And obviously I was I was over the moon about it. So obviously I accepted And it was kind of one of those things were just like the rest is history Um, I accepted the job. We started narrating videos. We started working together. This was I believe this was about February of 2017 if I remember right when me and will started working together And obviously a lot of the the stories on top five unknowns are true crime related And eventually that just kind of trickled back over into this channel And that's that's pretty much how it happened I started off with the you know the aliens the uh the creepy pasta just creepy stories And then I started taking true crime cases and kind of orchestrating those into stories and Just been doing it ever since it just kind of all fell into place Junebug NC says how long does it take to research a case? That that's a really good question because it's it's what it's kind of all over the place Most of the time The the bulk of the time that it takes to research a case at least for me Is more so just picking the case in the first place. It takes me it can take me I don't know because the thing is I'm always I'm always keeping my eyes out for new cases and always listening for new cases and stuff so I would say anywhere from A couple hours to a couple days to find a good case But usually once I find that good case It doesn't take too terribly long to research I'll get help from from people sometimes to help research cases like I mentioned one when I broke my hand Juan one of the writers for top five unknowns He helped me a great deal in researching and putting together some cases and stuff But it's kind of all over the place. I don't think I can give a definitive answer as to how long it takes Other than a couple hours to a couple days So hopefully that at least gives you an idea of you know, how that works It's like april sent a super chat for dollar 49. Thanks, april good to have you in the in the chat and in the stream Emily walker says I love your shirts. Yeah, I was My wife actually had a really good idea So I'm always trying to find just crazy shirts. I just love crazy shirts with like ridiculous Characters and colors on them. This one here is it's like monstera plants and like Um, I'll shoot. What's that? What's that? Is it a fern? Monstera plants and ferns. I believe but then it's got just like mickey and Minnie Mouse thrown in I just love weird shirts and stuff But anyway, my wife had a good idea that sometime I should hop on a stream And we should go shopping on like amazon or timu or something And we should just find some crazy shirts and I'll let you guys pick what it's What shirts I buy and wear in future videos I really would like to do that sometime. We should we should make a make a night of that sometime. That's that sounds like fun Jeff Rundle says where in the world are you? I am in mississippi in the united states Oh Darcy chimed in with a uh five dollar super chat also asking where do you live? Mississippi Donna barn says csi nyc was great. Yeah, I loved the earlier seasons of that show As it kind of as it kind of got a little bit more mature. I kind of fell out of the csi nyc But the earlier seasons I loved those I was always a big fan of just plain old csi. That was one of my favorites I watched all of them though csi miami 2 In cis that was another good show never get into the off shoots of that one either though I was just stuck straight within cis Sarah thorn brings up a really good point. She says I was just wondering how you stay sane with these cases I can't look at walmart the same way anymore. Everyone is either about to commit unaliving or however Oh, hang on. I lost my spot Oh, yeah, everyone is either about to commit unaliving or however we can say it or just did That's a great point to bring up because that is something that I'm not going to say it gets to me bothers me, you know, so to speak But it's definitely working in this field It definitely makes you hyper aware of that kind of thing I can only imagine the police officers that have to actually deal with this stuff firsthand and actually go out Into these situations. I can only imagine how terrible it must be on them because I know for me I only get maybe One to two percent of what they have to deal with and just doing cases like this it It gets me on edge quite a lot. I'll be honest with you It's one of those things though where you can't You have to stay focused on why you're doing it. I'm not doing this to glorify What happened to these people glorify the crime aspect of it or anything like that My whole point of doing this is to bring awareness to these cases For you guys so that you know what to look out for so you not know what red flags to watch out for And on top of that I also make these documentaries As almost a celebration of life for these victims and something for maybe the families to I'm not going to say look back on because that's obviously the worst part of their loved one's life That tail end of it when you but Something for them to know that their loved ones haven't been forgotten. I guess that that's the reason why I make these so While certain cases definitely get you on edge and can get you down for for quite a while to be honest You just have to remind yourself why you're doing it And remind yourself to stay grounded pretty much just don't let it get to you so much I know that's easier said than done, but it's one of those things you just kind of have to shut it out and just do what you do Let's see the disappearance of crystal rogers In barredstown, kentucky. I haven't heard of that one. Let's see See crystal rogers barredstown kentucky. I don't know she looks kind of familiar I may have covered this case before let's look Crystal rogers details crystal rogers crystal rogers was reported missing by her mother After she'd not been seen or heard from since the evening of july 3rd 2015 The same day rogers was reported missing her car was found abandoned with a flat tire at mile marker 14 bluegrass parkway barredstown kentucky Her keys phone and purse Her still inside her Chevrolet Impala She's a mother of five.

Let's see nobody's well Yeah kindle ray did it Court tv. Yeah, there's there's been a few people that have done that case I have to keep that one in mind That seems interesting There's definitely a few people that have done it, but I don't see any Well now there's actually quite a few videos on it now that it keeps scrolling That's interesting. Yeah, I've never heard of that case. I have to keep that one in mind Pre-dawn corpse ten dollar super chat. Thank you Boston actress 1999 super chat. Thank you says hope you're feeling better. I'm definitely feeling better I'm hoping that it's gonna Hoping all this is gonna hold out and I'm gonna continue to feel better But for the moment, I'm just enjoying feeling better and not being stuck in a hospital. So thank you for that Definitely appreciated Like I said, this is one of my first times doing a live stream on here and I just realized I can scroll through here and actually Heart you guys's comments you guys that that sends super chats and stuff I just don't realize I didn't go through and heart your comments. I gotta get more used to this This is like so foreign to me. I'm so used to just being behind the scenes and And you know recording and posting this live streaming stuff is it's it's something else entirely Darcy says you don't sound like you're from Mississippi. That's because I'm kind of not I was born here, but we moved to Arkansas when I was seven or eight But the reason I don't sound like I'm from Mississippi is because I put effort into trying to get rid of that southern accent Because I wanted to I wanted to do this I wanted to do narrations and stuff and if you go through and you got that southern accent people I don't know what it is But if you got that southern drawl people just don't want to hear you so you have to just try to Force it out get get past it over time. It becomes second nature But people are weird online if you have like the slightest little thing that's unique about your voice that makes you you People can just be mean Yeah, in my scenario people weren't being mean. It was just a choice thing. I just wanted to I wanted to have a little bit cleaner voice Another oh where'd it go? There it is another day with lori van horn five dollars super chat. Thank you for that Uh-oh, what have I done now? Trying to heart your comment and it won't let me So another day with lori van horn just pretend that I hearted your comment All these other ones. It's letting me. I don't know why but it won't let me uh, won't let me heart yours I don't know what's going on with that Like I said, I've got to get I've got to get some A little bit more training on this. This is my my first real time doing this The def con prime experience and more sent a five dollar super chat. Thank you for that And they say look into the strange disappearance of shannon mary From new york. I think I'll just do that Shannon mary Let's see. Oh, yeah. Yeah I've had a few people recommend her case to me before Let's see The issue with So just to be clear not not clear with you guys but up front with you guys One of the biggest issues I run into with covering certain cases Is that some of these cases can be incredible and I remember I think this is this is like the third or fourth Time someone has sent me uh, shannon mary's case But the problem is the lack of photos because in order to make a compelling video I've got to have enough photos to carry through say a 20 to 30 minute video Maybe 15 minutes, but I try to keep them about 20 to 30 minutes But in shannon mary's case, unfortunately There's only like three photos of her and the three photos that there are Are so low quality because they've been you know, like copy you know Like copy and pasted on facebook and stuff And that's what kills me with a lot of these cases is that There's so many good good cases out there and stories that need to be told people that need their stories to be heard But there's just no Multimedia aspect of it and now more recently We've started using those ai generated photos and stuff, but that's not something i'm comfortable using when it comes to A victim like this their face needs to be seen and if I can't show their face I don't know what we're doing here. So I do check into her case quite often and I think I was just looking her case up maybe like a month ago I remember that name now and certainly remember her face now, but all of the photos i'm seeing It's like they were taken on like a like an iphone 3g or something and I hate that Because her case was so interesting But there's I just there's no way for me to cover it if I don't have media to go with it and I hope that makes sense So if you guys ever have a case recommendation Maybe something that happened to someone you knew closely or more personally Get with me and let me know and if you can share some Some information about that case and better yet photos about that case that would be incredibly helpful And also def con prime experience and more if you happen to have Uh images and whatnot from this case that would be helpful If you check out my channel There is an email link on the about page on my channel And if you happen to have any photos or anything, I'm definitely all yours on that See here, excuse me Another day with lory van horn says callie cooper in mississippi that name sounds familiar Was that a recent one? I think someone maybe sent that to me here a little while back Uh now definitely not I don't I don't recognize her Let's see Callie amanda pauline cooper missing since july Of 2017 vanished from jackson mississippi after getting off Of a greyhound bus Exact date is unclear looks like it says about july 13th give or take Lack of proof of when she went missing Her sister believes she was last seen in jackson Her ex-boyfriend purchased her a bus ticket and sent her to the station via a taxi Poses the question was the taxi driver question to confirm callie made it to her destination Is an endangered adult who may have met with foul play may have a disoriented mental status Interesting Yeah, I guess I've never heard of her case That's kind of kind of unusual since that would be be so close in the same state anyway Christina cooper says yes, that's my sister. I can't tell who you're responding to though Are you saying callie cooper is your sister? Uh, yes looks like so. Yeah, there was a video of her at the bus depot Interesting so she did make it to the bus depot then this one article seems to cast doubt on that That's interesting says they've used facial recognition software. It didn't lead to any clues Like cooper to you. Oh, here we go. Here's actually an a note that mentions you christ christina cooper This is on if you're interested in looking at this. This is from underground mysteries.com It says how you can help callie sister christina is worried sick over her disappearance She's on a fixed income lacks the funds to properly search for callie Hoping to raise about $200 to continue to search Every time she has to go look for callie has a stay at a motel due to the distance Uh, it's got a paypal email address listed here So senator email to facilitate shipping states that she would greatly appreciate anyone willing to volunteer to hang up flyers in texas or in mississippi I'll tell you what let me see here I think I can share my screen if I can Let me share my screen and we can actually take a look at that some images of her together and you never know Who may be watching that could could lead to something. Let's see. Is that what there we go. Yeah So this here This is who we're talking about here callie amanda pauline cooper missing since july of 2017 Although most likely vanished from the jackson mississippi area getting off the greyhound bus like we mentioned a minute ago But could also still be in texas Exact date is unclear But as christina said we there there was footage of her at the bus depot So if any of you guys happen to recognize her There's a couple different phone numbers. It won't let me highlight it This website doesn't let me highlight for some reason, but if you look right here above her photos There's there's phone numbers here You can contact crime stoppers 601-355-8477 And then it's also got christina's paypal here if you would like to help contribute to her searching for callie Raven lunatic says have you heard about the giant mine in yellow knife north west territories? I don't know. Let me look it up and see Giant oh that looks like a rabbit hole right there I'll have to read about that one later See the giant mine is a gold mine. I assume this is yeah, that's where yeah That's gotta be when you're talking about the giant mine was a gold mine located on the ingraham trail north of yellow knife Was discovered on the property mineral claims state the true extent of a gold deposit. So it's basically a gold mine But there's a lot of other information here about it too. That's interesting That's definitely one of those rabbit holes. You could go down uh christina cooper chimed in Again, we're talking about uh callie cooper here. She says she doesn't have that paypal anymore So if you guys are interested in contributing to that or helping out in any way The best thing to do would probably just be to contact the The crime stoppers phone number I listed here 601-355-8477 That way they could keep you know all the all the ongoing information and everything in one place and all that So there there's that number if you guys are interested in trying to help out or if you happen to to know anything pertaining to that case Danielle says is your name actually tie knots my husband wants to know I'd like to know too.

It's been four months since he was last seen Well, this is quite a write-up. This is from NBC news. This is a very lengthy write-up about him That's not one I could really get into here on the stream because there's just uh, there's just so much information here Dark brown hair brown eyes That's that's that's extensive So he was supposed to show up on Christmas eve and just flat never showed up I have to let me let me write his case down.

I recognized that guy for sure And nicole looks fairly she looks pretty familiar too Yeah, i'm near about positive we covered this on top five unknowns It basically says he was arrested like immediately Let's see deputies were called at 3 30 and holbrook was arrested at 3 40 I'm not seeing what actually happened in the end though. These are all articles from Basically like right when the you know right when the crime unfolded it doesn't say what happened to the guy though I assume he went to prison. I mean Looks like it's pretty pretty open and shut case Located a short time later less than a quarter mile from the apartment building taken into custody without incident Well, why doesn't nobody say what happened to him? Oh, here we go and maybe he hasn't been sentenced yet because this is from 2024 And it says that he just now had a hearing set Interesting Wow, so that took place in 2019 and he still hasn't even had a trial Interesting I wonder why that is Unless this article is just wrong That's interesting Uh predon corp says he was convicted as well last week.
