[@Nostalgic_1]

I think that when she told him that she wasn't ready for him to meet her children yet it enraged him. Why? My thoughts are that he felt slighted and thought that it was because he was homeless, jobless, and didn't have a car. He probably had a chip on his shoulder about his situation and it made him feel like he "wasn't good enough" to meet her children and he became enraged and killed her. Just my thoughts about it.

[@nhmooytis7058]

@@Nostalgic_1no matter how ‘nice’ someone is, the fact that he didn’t have a regular job OR home should have been a red flag. Anyone can lose a job, of course, but it doesn’t seem he was even trying to find a good job. Likewise anyone can have a financial crisis and end up temporarily homeless. What I’d ask is what they were doing about it. Is this a responsible guy who’d had a run of bad luck but was putting his life back together? Or chronic drifter who might not be violent but at best just looking for a woman to sponge off?

[@AnneOhn123]

I too was homeless in my mid-50's... we all have our stories, and we are not all druggies or losers... that was what I discovered as I spoke to others in the same circumstance during my short plight.

[@purpleoryx1774]

Thank you both. I had a few friends willing to store some things so I didn't lose everything. And I had my dog. In my city a lot of people don't use shelters because they don't let you bring dogs. I was the same, I would never, ever abandon him the way I was abandoned. I kept working and eventually crawled out of it. I had to lie about my "current address" of course. People don't realize how hard it is to participate in society when you have no address.

I wanna reiterate what you said near the end, in that the Police really did do a good job on this case. It's not uncommon to see a lot of indifference in the early stages of a disappearance when it comes to law enforcement, but the Seattle PD was quick and effective when it came to Ingrid's disappearance. It's always good to point out and praise a good job done instead of just taking it for granted. Also, belated congratulations on your Classified Coffee! I'll have to try it sometime soon.

I've come across this case before but love your take on it. Also love that you used the phrase "stick their own necks out" about the defense team.

On the note of "dangers when meeting people online", naturally I agree and grasp that there are certain dangers to it, and any actions taken that can reduce the risk should absolutely be encouraged. But I also feel that, placing the focus on "strangers are dangerous when you meet them online" takes away from the dangers that any stranger can realistically pose, no matter where you met them. Whether you meet them at a bar, as a classmate, through mutual friends and so on, that doesn't necessarily mean the person is "safe". One should always be prudent and careful around new people, especially if over-time red flags develop. And even then, you may have known someone for years and they can still turn on you at some point. Meanwhile many people you meet online are just other, innocent, safe people who can genuinely make for good friends or partners, so simply dismissing a friendship/relationship because you "did not meet them in real life" can have its negatives all the same.

I totally agree with this, the most dangerous man I ever dated was someone who I met through friends and knew for 7 years, trusted from the jump, and he turned out to be a sociopathic rapist. My now partner is someone I met through an app, and he's a wonderful person who I have grown to trust. Like you said, I now know who what signs to look for, how to work out if I can trust someone and use caution, and now I never lower my guard just because I met someone in real life. We should be teaching what to look for and how to build trust, not just 'online is bad'.

They usually use words like ‘charming’ etc. these guys can take months to reveal their true nature and it’s usually long after you have moved off the app into the real world and have in all probability already let them in your home, they know your schedule etc. they are good at appearing kind gentle normal guys but hide frightening traits. RIP to this lovely lady and mother 😟

I lived in Seattle when this happened and the live reporting on this was surreal. The entire Seattle community was impacted and devastated by this.

[@MeatCatCheesyBlaster]

Me too but I wasn’t really devastated. Just something that happened tbh, no need for dramatics

Never change Adrian! Your videos are brilliant. Just a shame they have to be made in the first place.

This was probably the shortest introduction ever lol I'm glad to see you didn't dehumanizing homeless people though. I'm someone who walks and usually on my way to a job interview nearby and there's always a homeless person by the streetlight. I always feel bad when I walk past them but the only food I have is candy so I can stay awake longer. That's not sustainable for a homeless person. I wish I bring at least some spare change, like the tips I got at my previous job but I always forget 😢

I lived in renton during that time, barely out of high school. My baby brother went to school with one of their daughters, he wasnt close to her but did mention they seemed nice and friendly. Then after all this happened, she became very closed off. I hope they're all doing better and healing. I remember being shocked when it first Surface but I due to having 2 murders at my own school I don't have a high opinion of renton and the men in that area. Definitely opened my eyes to online dating. Because of this case when I started using dating apps I took extra precautions when dating and meeting up with potential friends/relationships.

[@danibearhugs]

POF is awful! I was threatened by a guy on that site. Tried to force my hand to send him images of me. Sent me images of his guns, etc in order to scare me. This is was so long ago I don't even think there was laws in my state for protection against this kind of action. Online dating is scary. My heart hurts for her and her family. I do appreciate that John pled guilty and didn't cause any more pain than he already had.

[@Fogysoks4709]

Thank you for sharing sorry that happened

[@swallowedinthesea11]

I'm 24 and although I live in another city and work in construction, my Mom makes me send her my credit card statements because she doesn't want me to buy useless things and my Internet is monitored, I can't even have Netflix. I'm from a Korean family. She controls a lot of my life, unfortunately, and as the oldest I have to look after her. I have told her she's kind of interfering, but I agree that parents need to really talk to their adult and minor children about the dangers of the Internet, meeting people in person, leaving your drinks alone opening a window for someone to spike them, not honking your car horn, saying thank you when someone hodor for you, etc. Yes, there have been lives taken because the suspects didn't receive a thank you! I have a niece and I couldn't believe I acted like my Mom when I found out she had a lot of social media accounts and 'friends.' No 13 year old has 1200+ followers on Instagram and Facebook.

[@danibearhugs]

thank you@@Fogysoks4709 . I just hope that kids learn to be more cautious with what they post and who they trust online. It is so easy to have things spiral. This woman was an adult and this happened. Children are so susceptible to fear tactics and manipulation. I was lucky I have an older brother who was I could talk to and stepped up to protect me.

[@vickythefist7062]

The first week I was on POV I received a message from a man telling me that he knew where I lived and had just drove past my house and knew what lights were on in my house. Contacted pov and they were really good about it kicking him off the site and assuring me he had no way of knowing where I lived unless I had told him (,which I had not ) completely put me off internet dating and luckily met someone in the real 2orld so don't have to ever do it again. Stay safe out there. And so glad you didn't give into their threats .it must have been so scary

[@anathema2325]

​@@vickythefist7062he could have known you from seeing you around , that's the real problem. I used to never put my pictures on my profile becouse I didn't want to open myself up to creeps in the neighbourhood seeing it as an invitation. I hear these days most apps force you to put your face on there if you want an account.

[@Alex-pw7si]

Love your videos, they make my commute a bit more bearable! As someone who was caught in the middle of a situation you might even cover one day, I enjoy how your focus of the videos towards the end generally includes a sentiment for the victims. It helps keep the focus on tragedy not just spectacle. Alex from PA :)

My heart goes out to her children, Ingrid deserved to find someone who'd love her and her kids. I hope actual justice comes for him, 28 years is a f*cking joke!

[@ThisAlphaWolf]

​@@donlagay8648Of all of the things you _could_ have said, that's what you went with? There are people who knew Ingrid here in the comments section. What a cruel thing to say. Nobody said you have to nice, but the fact that you chose to make such a nasty comment has put your character on full display. Sure, you're entitled to your opinion, but there's a lot to be said for self control when it comes to situations such as this. Take care not to throw your shoulder out while patting yourself on the back.

Online dating can be very dangerous.

[@groofay]

I think it's kind of wild that dating apps *don't* require more verification for their users. It's one thing to go on a regular social media and talk with people on a strictly online basis, but dating sites are there with the specific aim of people establishing relationships that ostensibly will have a real-world element. They need to have better safeguards for their users.

[@nhmooytis7058]

All they care about is money.

[@tinabrooks1858]

What a horrible thing to happen- does anyone know WHY he did what he did? My heart and prayers go out to these 3 little girls who will not grow up to know their Mom and to Ingrid's family as well.

[@oAgL214]

It's so upsetting to see women (men too) who allow strangers into their home and lives so quickly. Yes, many people meet and within a month even, they get married. Their marriage turns out "a success" but that's like playing Russian roulette. Especially nowadays. Be careful, even of the charming men because remember, plenty of serial killers were described as "charming".

Just a quick note for you Adrian, be super careful when using clips from the Dr. Phil show, they're pretty notorious for copyright claiming footage used for videos

[@jamiemiesler322]

Wait. Did I miss something? Why not LIFE in prison? 28 years is not enough for someone so evil imo.

[@kyleisaac7404]

The judge read 2 dozen impact letters to the guy. Good on her. I bet those hit hard, just a steady couple hrs of being told how great the person he killed was and all the pain he caused them. I would imagine that should cause some genuine remorse within anyone who isn't a complete psychopath.

[@amberlin.88]

I hadn't heard of this case. So sad to loose such a productive/beautiful person. Thanks for the great coverage ❤️🧡💛

[@richardclifford003]

As having had a career in investigating homicides, the one answer I always sought, but at times, eluded me was "why". Early on in my career I came to the realization there were times that no answer was the only answer. The motive in such cases was nothing more than an investigative aid.

[@iriscast10]

Bringing casuals home when having kids to care about is never a good idea

[@dayrue4696]

This is so sad! It hits home with me bc I fell for a man in 2019 who made up a fictional life on a dating app. Turned out he couch surfed, was a major drug addict and alcoholic, and multiple DUI’s. He broke into my house and made my life miserable for several months. I wish I was smarter about his lies and love bombing at the beginning- it just felt good and I fell for it. I won’t even try a dating app now.

[@jennlarez4227]

John clearly had some mental health issues! I hope the daughters are able to get some closure knowing he is locked up. So sad. Praying for you all. My mom was murdered when I was a baby and her killer has never been prosecuted.

Very sorry for your moms unsolved murder, hope it will be solved soon. And he clearly had these eyes that tell you something`s wrong with him, he had this very strange glance, eerie....The lady at Dr. Phil detected this fact luckily early enough and turned him lose.

Yay! I finally get to watch in the morning so I can drink my coffee while I watch... Sadly, it is not GREAT coffee, but it's not TERRIBLE coffee. Once again, I love the amount of respect you pay the victims in your cases. It is touching and it is one of the reasons I love your content, as well as your focus on covering crimes all over. And as a single woman on dating apps myself...I am ALL FOR verification being required. This is one of those videos that do make me grateful for being selective with whom I meet from dating sites. But I feel so horrible for her daughters the most. I'm very close with my mom, so I can't imagine how I would feel or manage going through my teenage years or even adulthood without her.
