Derek Wood : The Sydney River McDonald's Murders

[@biglwutang84]

Your intended goal of finding stories that haven't been told a million times over and over has been reached. You've gone above and beyond this season. And as impressed as I've been with the other seasons (I've been watching since the 1st season) I have to say I was skeptical at the huge undertaking this was. Thank you for all the hard work, energy and planning these take. It's been a pleasure.

Went to MANY birthday parties (Arlene was shot in or outside the birthday party room), went on tours of the kitchen where Neil died.... Obviously we were kids and didn't know what happened at the time. But I still remember what that place looks like actually. The McDonald's is gone now and is where teenagers drink (atleast it was when I was that age). My mom knew Arlene's family, so I remember seeing and chatting with her a bunch at events, she always went to hockey games. My family was also close with the Muise family. I also went to the same high school as the 3 monsters, and was taught by alot of the same teachers.

Canada is way too lenient on criminals. 25 years is not long enough. I wonder what these monsters are up to now that two of them are out? I'm sure we'll be hearing more from you on them at a later date.

[@sydneyyoung7352]

I live in Canada, and I'm not sure I agree. I think 25 years is a long time, and it may encourage rehabilitation if they have the opportunity to make a case for their release. I don't know if it has ever worked or not, but on principle it seems like a reasonable policy. I think criminals are more than just the crime they commit, they're also human. Some humans have disorders that might make them unfit to be in society, I don't know if things like sociopathy are treated/treatable, but maybe some people make horrendous decisions and yet still have the capacity to grow and change. These guys didn't just rob a McDonald's and brutally murder people, they lived for years before that happened, and they lived 25 years after it happened.

[@sydneyyoung7352]

@@Kevin-cy2dr I see what you're saying, it could be argued "it's not worth the risk", or even that it's a deterrent. What do you think, though, about the principle of "thought crime" or not arresting people for crimes they haven't commit yet? Based on the premise, which I personally don't know to be valid or invalid, that people with personality disorders such as APD are capable of being well-adjusted and well-behaved members of society: should we imprison people who have been rehabilitated because they _might_ commit another crime and we'd rather not risk it? As far as the deterrent thing, I might be wrong but I think it's been widely accepted that individuals deserve not to be made an example of. Beyond that, I would think that a "minimum 25y" sentence is enough of a deterrent, given that the worst criminals probably don't expect to be caught.

I’m always shocked when people set out to murder others, that an act of such grave consequence is often committed with so little planning or attention to detail. Murder is tragic, but the blind stupidity and rashness of some of these perpetrators can be more shocking than the murders themselves.

That's my home , this story still haunts our town to this day. The MacDonald's location is now a memorial park.

It really bothers me that there are so many law enforcement departments that believe bogus finger pointing and/or confessions and arrest people before trying to find out if the facts even somewhat match the supposed confession/blaming. This happens way too often, I believe that (especially in the US, I'm not that familiar with Canadian law enforcement) there needs to be more education for officers investigating crimes and that there needs to be a higher burden of proof before they are allowed to arrest people (especially in horrific cases like this one). I do agree that they should be allowed to "hold" suspects in custody for 24 hours, but certainly no longer than 48 hours - people can lose their jobs and have public opinions turned against them very quickly - for having done nothing wrong.

another amazing upload, thank you for all the time and effort you put into these! 💜

Bless the souls of the victims of this horrible crime.

[@grumpyone3806]

Yay!! You are back. I sure missed you while you were away at Crime con. Hope you had an awesome time. You deserved some time away from entertaining and informing your adoring fans.

[@sassysistar]

Omg this was so traumatizing. I have the near impossible to find book and it is horrific. Thank you for bringing awareness to this tragic, senseless, brutal murder. 💔💔

Good evening! Thanks for the video. Have a great day

Hey, I'm from Cape Breton! I live maybe 30 minutes away from where this happened

[@pretentiousfly]

For sure going to sub love the content. Also on an unrelated note i think the fact that murderers arent IMMEDIATELY killed publicly is just going to encourage more murderers

[@megancurrie4633]

OHMYGOD. THANK YOU!! I worked for mcdonalds cananda for over 10 years, so this hits hard home. I always had to tell this story to my new "kids" when they were hired because it is always brought up in conversation and it definitely is scary but it it's now why we don't have basements.

[@dannyhall3768]

Why in the world would they think a McDonald’s would joke $80k-$200k?? Wow

While watching a movie and Tubi there was a commercial break. It was a advertisement for This is Monsters. Congrats Mr. Monster

Your an amazing youtuber. Great research. Keep doing you!!!

I remember this case when I was younger, remember always driving by the Macdonald after it happened but never eating there, it was eventually torn down years afterwards.

"Because Canada" that made me lol I always look forward to that 🔔... Your videos are fanatic and you add appropriate humor. Sending positive vibes to you from the Windy City 💚 🤍 🧡

Hey, I know you!!! Clearly we have the same tastes, huh? Do you watch Dave’s Lemonade, Matt Orchard, dreading and That Chapter? Love seeing ya here my friend!

I know this story well, I live nearby. You’ve done a great job telling the storey 👏

[@Mydogisbetterthanyou1]

“Because Canada”. Never have truer words been said. If ever you want to commit a crime, travel to Canada, where the justice system is as pathetic as our health care system. 👍👍👍

No believe us, Canada's worse (at the moment), and I have brothers in San Diego and Texas. Trudeau isn't like his pops. Let this be a lesson that nepotism doesn't equal good democracy...

Most Canucks on line tout how so much better their med system is. So much so that it makes me curious about socialized medicine.

[@jessestewart169]

True about the justice system. Not about the medical system.

I remember watching a show about this when I was a real young kid, my dad was in jail and mom worked long hours and I got left home alone to take care of my sisters at a very young age lol I got to watch alot of things a youngin shouldnt.

[@berlyngrey9242]

I let my kids watch things most parents wouldn’t allow. I don’t think it’s good to shelter and censor kids from things however it is very important to talk and discuss certain things so they aren’t confused. Open communication, love and trust go a long way and all 3 of my babies are amazing human beings.

[@CoExist64]

As usual my friend, great work! Love your sarcasm, always spot on!
