[@kibblesnbits3174]

Yeah that part makes no damn sense. So they know that Jack had strongly mentioned killing and eating people before, beat the fuck out of his family and sexually abused them, but they don’t call the cops. But when he goes missing and Jeremiah says he did it, then they call??? Fuck that man, they should have never said anything.

[@HelloAlRando]

Right? As crazy, violent, murderous and abusive as the guy apparently was, he still somehow got married four times and had so much support from people around him. He seems to have been enabled by a lot of people and they all let the children down terribly.

[@TheBaronessIsAwesome]

Well the fact that they ratted him out to the police, pointing fingers at him, etc. it kind of proves that he never had any support whatsoever. If I had an ex-husband like that, knowing what a godawful man he was, I would have kept my mouth shut, even if I knew my son may have been involved. Fuck it.

[@1ofCornPopsBigBadB_____ez]

U would think but unfortunately there's entire families out there that are fukd up and have no problem sweeping problems under the rug. Most of my family was educated, wealthy, and to anyone one the outside seemed like exemplary ppl. But these ppl ignored the fact that I was being abused in every single way by my mother and my stepfather. Then when I became a problem teenager they acted like I was a horrible person. They did that to justify in their own sick minds that they did nothing wrong by not doing anything about the abuse.

Don't be so naive. Like father like son. I don't believe the kid for a second other than the verifiable facts. He was brainwashed/indoctrinated - this is how killers are made. Had he been out, he would've continued the family legacy. You don't walk away from childhoods like that as a sane person.

[@bellephants]

His younger brother was arrested in 2015 for shooting at multiple neighbors saying he was going to kill and eat them. The trauma all these kids went through is insane. Never stood a chance with that man as a father

[@bapbirb]

Thats the danger of severe mental illness. Born and raised under someone that ill, the childrens get affected heavily by it as well. American society usually seems to always victimize and minimize the crimes of mentally ill. But we really have to rememeber it can often lead to crimes and homicide which is not surprising when you look into psychology. Alot of murderers have personality disorders and mental illness. We shouldn't ostracize them but they definitely need to be on the watch. And their illness/conditions should not take the weight off of their crimes as the consequences of their actions will never change.

[@silverscar4273]

This one is just heartbreaking. Jeremiah never stood a chance. His father abused him physically, mentally, emotionally, sexually, in all sorts of ways. And the only adults he trusted didn't do anything about it the entire time and even essentially sent him to jail. May he rest in peace where there's no more suffering

[@RyanShae-b8t]

His mother and grandmother knew those kids were being abused. They did nothing. But when the abuser is finally gone they go to the police? He was being brutally abused in disgusting ways. He was only 20 years old and he should have had a better life. This is so sad. He finally gets out of jail and is free but then passes away? Lord..

[@claudiaforstner6533]

He killed himself...

[@ZeonGenesis]

It was Jack's brother that went to police. Besides, living with such horribly violent, mentally and sexually abusive husbands would have meant the mother and grandmother endured years of abuse as well. That means they likely suffered from a severe case of Stockholm syndrome/battered woman syndrome. Considering how often police fails victims, leaving an abuser even to protect your children can actually be the more dangerous route. If you contact police and they end up doing nothing or the abuser only gets a small sentence - which is common - the mother and the children could be even worse abused and possibly killed once the father has the chance again. It is not so simple, unfortunately. Implementing better options for victims to leave (which is always an incredibly dangerous time), more safe houses and subsequent security protection are necessary if you want to save children from similar situations.

[@nicj99]

I feel like that was always going to be on the table for his final act. After everything he went through Including actual prison, I don't think there was any coming back from that.

[@andrewwaggoner1831]

@ZeonGenesis if your husband or child is killing and eating people, then completely leaving and reporting it to the police is never going to be the more dangerous option. They knew, their youngest saw body parts in the freezer,their 6 yo helped cut people up. There is no way they dint know something horrific was going on.

[@melodi996]

Jeremiah Raymond Berry’s disappearance in Cortez, Colorado, has indeed been linked to an unsettling case involving alleged cannibalism. According to reports, after his disappearance, a suspect named Nathaniel E. K. Berry, who was reportedly connected to Jeremiah, faced charges related to the gruesome act. It was reported that evidence linked Nathaniel to a case involving cannibalism and other disturbing acts, although Jeremiah himself was not known to have committed these acts before he went missing. The situation involving alleged cannibalism became widely known due to the shocking nature of the crime, as well as the unusual and disturbing details surrounding it. Law enforcement and media reports explored these connections, though much of the information may still be under investigation or sealed, and it was difficult to find further verified details or outcomes.

If you pause and read through his journal entry at 37:55, Jeremiah implies that he was unable to read or write, until "Beth" (presumably, the owner of the Dog Hotel & Orchard) taught him how. One gets the sense from his very poor spelling but enthusiasm for putting everything down into journal entries that this literacy thing was a new and liberating thing for him - in fact, when he first mentions being taught to read and write, it came after a sentence where he stated that he now loves being alive (implying that he might not have before then). These details only makes what would ultimately be the extreme brevity of his literacy, and the doors that it might have opened up for him, only much more tragic. RIP Jeremiah. 😢

It’s disheartening to witness individuals dismissing the redemptive power of Jesus, the epitome of truth and salvation, while embracing an array of absurd and destructive behaviors.

It’s as though they deliberately immerse themselves in fallacy and delusion, forsaking the clarity and tranquility that faith in Christ provides.

[@tribalismblindsthembutnoty124]

It can always be worse. Theres a 10yr old girl I think of every day. 2003. Her parents were addicted to gambling and she was raising her 3 yr old sister. She would fix her food and even tuck her in at night. Well, two addicts that her parents sold fake meth to broke in and stabbed them both dozens of times and left them for dead. She survived, the sister she took care of didn't. She is now paralyzed from the waist down and blind in one eye. She says she is ok with it because things were much harder when she was taking care of her sister. That is what abuse does. Things were so hard at home, that the death of her sister and her disability are seen as a better alternative to continuing the way they were, and the abuse was simple neglect. She is probably 30 now, and I pray she is doing good.

Yeah me neither bud. If that was all true I wouldn’t know how to answer that. Edit to add: I know this is a common question asked by police, but given the circumstances if I unalived this person for those reasons I wouldn’t know how to answer that either since it was a justifiable unaliving.

[@alanmalcheski8882]

it's not the worst question a cop could ask you. He was asking him what would he sentence himself to if he had to. it's actually a wise question, because even if the cop didn't want to charge him, people need a clear conscience, some people would sentence themselves. Sounds like he didn't care if he was innocent of doing harm, I can't tell.

I don't like how you described this case. What his dad did was a nightmare. What he did was a closure. He stabbed his hands because those hands hurt him and other people so many times. He did what he had too. Obviously his dad got away with horrible things for so many years and no one ever did anything. Adults let him down and that boy did not have any chance and did what no one else would.

@@tetsuoakira8294I believe its their usual dramatization that doesnt suit well with this case. Sentences like ”what he did next was shocking” etc etc, that they always include for storytelling purposes makes the video seem as if its shaming Jeremiah. However I believe this isnt intentional as they did show Jeremiahs guilt and presented the dad just as he was (a horrible person). EWU usually does a good job at presenting cases as they come so personally, just a slight overlooked part of this script

I agree. Everything is presented with the same true crime mystery format when it's barely a mystery and more like a Soft White Underbelly video.

It breaks my heart to see him being interrogated. I lived similar violences myself, even if it’s in a comparatively way less gruesome way, and I understand all too well. His diaries entries… him dissociating at first and suddenly breaking up and trying not to yell and cry before the gates closing yet again… the guilt he feels for participating in abuses of others even if coherced, for having a kind of love for his abuser despite his violence, the inability to live after that, the fact that he never was able to anyway… the knowledge that justice will not do anything for him… I am so sad he had to live this life.

Hell, I never even knew I would ever come across such a gruesome story and I’ve been watching these crime documentaries for years.
