Somehow they managed to make a run for it into the trees. They hid from him for litetally hours as he continued to drive around into the dark with his headlights on searching for them. Finally he drove away, but they stayed hidden for at least another hour or more.

"And no one hitch hikes here as a result... Hitchhiking in Australia is a very very rare thing to see..."

“Hey you!” & “Let’s give it a goo” & your sign off make me so happy Mike! Thanks for all your hard work! Much ♥️& all the best! Have a wonderful day all! ♥️♥️♥️

[@91Fc3sDrifter]

That Chapter & MrBallen always have the best storytelling vids! Keep up the good work brobro👍

[@celavabudalica4541]

Mike is ok but Ballen is better imo.

[@peakydene1943]

Mike (That Chapter) and John (MrBallen) are both such excellent storytellers and I alternate between the two channels constantly. I don’t think it can be said that one is better than the other because their content is very different and their personalities are so very different. What they do have in common is their warmth and wit and ability to tell a story in such an enthralling way that you are drawn into each one time after time after time. As long as these two tell stories, I will be here subscribing to their channels.

[@MrE001]

Thanks for the story. I also remember hearing that after his first kill he sat at home freaking out, sure that the police were going to discover he had murdered someone. But when month after month he had not been arrested, he then started feeling empowered and godly. After well.... The rest is history

[@sinkingfeeeling]

As an Australian this was one of the first big cases I learned about, having seen a doco on TV when I was a kid. The whole stabbing them in the back and paralysing them thing traumatised me. This country has eaten a lot of backpackers and international students…

[@Lolliegoth]

Perspective dude...

[@williamasnip9503]

He's not pushing up flowers he's in hell for eternity.

[@katietaylor8314]

This story was on TV so much when I was a kid growing up in Australia that for a while I actually thought "backpacker" was another word for a scary killer because I kept hearing the phrase "backpacker murderer" and didn't quite understand what it meant. I even remember reading a novel, seeing the line "that's when we met the backpacker" and thinking Oh no this guy's going to kill everyone!

[@Curlygurly81]

I love when you say I love you at the end it makes my day feel special! And I love when you say Mike out. It makes me think of when Bobby Hill said he has gout. No offense I really do love your videos I just also love King of the Hill

[@jainmelbourne]

As someone who lives in Aus, I’d been hoping you’d cover this case, but didn’t think it would actually happen!

[@CammieInOz]

I'm wanting Mike to cover (and have suggested it on a couple of his posts) the story of Katherine Knight, the first Aussie woman to be serving a life sentence without parole.

[@BronteBe]

The way he pronounces MIL-AT is killer 😂

[@CammieInOz]

@@BronteBe I know, right? But Mike is Irish so I guess he isn't familiar with the correct way of pronouncing his name.

[@amblonyxx]

I'm still waiting for a crime channel to cover the Birnies!

[@naomiledger1374]

@@BronteBe lol I was wondering if anyone was going to mention that. Milat, not Millet! LOL

[@ScottyPeabody]

How many times have the police given the old “okey doke” to a report to find out later they could’ve saved lives?

[@jb-nk5pg]

The scarier questions is how many of those okey dokeys are still out there, unnoticed.

[@nodrogstacey7813]

Far, far to many times sadly

Hindsight is 2020

[@chelseagirl278]

i grieve for the victims and their families. they were just starting their lives and had so much to live for. i have to say that i take things for granted, it makes me appreciate every single day.

[@judith3218]

Most people take life for granted...until they don't.

[@Jaxissupergay77]

No matter how low I feel, watching Mike gives me a lift, no matter how gruesome the content.. he's just a phenomenal guy... good on ya, mate!

[@michellebaca1024]

When you said at one crime he use the gun and a knife, sounds like there’s two people. You’re Very, very serious today. Thank you for the video and all the coverage! We can see how much work you put into this!

[@Rach_M]

He also wasn't a smoker but some of the crime scenes had cigarette butts .. it's hard to believe he did this on his own.

[@nicoleanderson9636]

There's a lot of evidence known to the public that leads many to believe there were two or more killers. And one of the jurors on the case has said there's more that isn't even known to the public.

[@danajohnson6273]

I was thinking this morning that I needed to give it a goo and then I said it out loud and laughed. Oh Mike, you’ve been missed! 😉

[@ThunderMaiden]

He makes us all smile, quite awesome ❤️ Have a great week 🎊🤗

[@greatmystery11]

I'm first born Canadian from a Croatian family.Its a double whammy for me. I didn't realize how many crazies we have in Canada until I started watching your show Mike. Please don't hold this against me! (;

[@drdelewded]

We really don't have that many crazies in Canada. We just have a lot of decent media coverage of them to be used as content. Hell Chicago's murder rate alone is higher than all of Canada.

[@carabiner7999]

Murderino here. Mr. Onion is a tragic, but living legend. My hope is that he has been able to move beyond this horrifying part of his journey. Best wishes to him and his.
