Detectives Realize the Cosplayer is Actually a Serial Killer

Bryan Patrick Miller was a local celebrity cosplayer, often seen around town. However, no one had a clue he had a dark and disturbing history related to two unsolved cases. And perhaps related to many, many more...

In 2000, he attacked and stabbed one of my very good friends. It happened in Everett, Washington. He attacked her on a walking trail when she was heading to her friends, to meet up and walk to school together. She was only 14 or 15... He stabbed her so many times they couldnt count em all. He slit her throat. SHE SURVIVED THO!!! She nearly bled out before she was found and saved... Her police sketch looks JUST like him! He lived in her same apt complex, but he wasnt caught then... He totally got away with it for years more... Around 2015, detectives contacted her from Arizona and said they thought they had the guy, wanted to run it by her and she identified him. He left her for dead and it’s a miracle shes still alive! She is now a mother to 3 children and thriving. ***Edit to add *She now has 4 children* 🫶🏻 To anyone saying this is bullshit, you’re seriously ignorant. And for anyone else talking SHIT… I did talk to her about this BEFORE posting it and she didn’t mind me doing so… it’s never been a big secret or anything… and I don’t care to personally name her, as I’m only sharing this incident because it wasn’t covered and does add more depth to this situation. There were plenty of news articles and such that do name her and ppl have found and mentioned her name on here, as well… thats on them. I simply don’t operate that way… I’m not a name dropper… As for ppl saying that I’m repeating this story for attention, that is absolutely NOT the case either. I’m a very private person… I’m simply saying there is FAR MORE depth to this story/fucked up individual… I often wonder how many others he has harmed and not yet been pinned for.

@@muchtested - Garbage collectors aren't paid enough to open bags that smell even worse than the others... plus it's just what the sicko told his wife, it's not guaranteed that he actually got rid of the body that way. Another point that was left out was that poor Brandy Myers was mentally retarded, she was 13 when she disappeared but by all account had the mental/emotional age of an 8 years old, so it was common for her to wander around and go talk to random neighbors. The family of mennonites who reported the smell coming from the house could have been a lucky break, but sadly no body was found. It at least linked his name to the case, that and his wife's testimony (but she thought he was messing with her to scare her since he didn't give her a name, until she heard of a missing kid and just in case went to talk to the cops & the FBI)

Im sooooo tired of people pulling out the "abused child" card to excuse their crimes. As an abused child in my early years, it does leave scars on your emotions and to some extent, PTSD, but as an adult we all grow up to know the difference between right and wrong. I didnt grow up to harm anyone. I looked at my abusive parents as an axample of what NOT to be. There is NO excuse for what this man did other than he was pure evil.

It's not an excuse, but an explanation as to how someone can end up capable of doing such horrific crimes. Everyone isn't identical, so while your reaction is the best possible one, not everyone is wired that way. It's not a matter of just making choices. There's a damaged part of their brain that can't be controlled. That doesn't mean they should be permanently removed from society because that's exactly what should happen. But until we gain a deeper understanding of human psychology and the effects of abuse, there's no chance of making improvements and possibly preventing some of these crimes.

Is it me or does his voice sound a bit deeper? I know he was sick before and heard his voice those times so maybe it’s just me. And in regards to the beginning of the video where he’s talking with his hands, it’s good to articulate like that. I like it; he seemed to be more relaxed and calm instead of stiff and rigid.. granted the topic is a bit morbid with true crime, some KZbinrs keep it a still serious tone while Mikes videos are more laid back like these are the facts, this person isn’t just someone who messed up by doing this. Infact this was WHY they did this likely or this is the motive or reason or possibly the reasons we can assume or have proof of it. I really enjoy these videos. I’ve probably been watching for about maybe two years or so. I probably seen almost every one of them. Would be nice to have him phase out wearing his glasses since he had LASIK but I know habits are hard to break.. it’s possibly also a comfort thing too by now. I’ve been wearing hats for some time this summer and if I forget to grab one I’m running back for one just cuz it feels odd. But anyway, it’s so neat how Mike took something that was a huge part of life and made it his own channel and podcast. The amount of work he probably did starting off must have been rough but he kept doing it and it’s paying off. God I just had a flashback when he’d have that captain hat he’d wear? 😅 adorable… Halloween he wore a vampire cape and fangs.. I think he did some specials then too, although I can’t seem for the life of me to remember the topic.. maybe one year was a girl who was killed in her poison ivy costume but I could be wrong. I gotta get Spotify now😊❤ love this channel

The thought of inflicting the misery I went through onto somebody else, somebody weaker, sickens me. I think I have been a pretty decent parent because I raised a good kid who knows what responsibility is and doesn't try to blame everyone and everything else. Guys like this need to man up and admit they did the things they did because they enjoyed it. Might not get the death penalty if they are actually honest instead of trying to make themselves the victim.

duuuuuuuuude!!! I totally forgot about this. This has to be one of the sicker cases in Az history. People talk about Jodi Arias being twisted which it was and equally terrible. But this was absolutely horrific.

[@sinivainio3642]

The level of thought & preparation going into your videos is mindboggling..! 🙀 A fan for some time now, always looking foward to a"health insuranse" video ( I know I'm bad ) 😹

[@marlasimpson4305]

I love that your hands move to help illustrate the story. One of the things that separated the KZbin channel from an audio only format

[@violettaeve]

I love that the news announcer described his as a “middle aged balding man”

[@RaineeBC]

Watching on the same day they caught the long island serial killer. There's a deep dive for ya. Tons of information out there. It'd be great to see it all put together as chronologically as possible. Love back atchya from Poco BC Canada💛

[@genevabecker8441]

Great video, Mike. I have watched several other true crime videos about these crimes and none of them mentioned the two additional victims that could be linked to him...Thank you so much for doing such good research.

[@georgegarcia8361]

This episode is a prime example of Mike’s unique ability to weave a story together. It began where it ended, and how we got there was pretty compelling.

[@beno1129]

I enjoy Mike's storytelling, but I wouldn't say that what you described is 'unique'. It's actually a common style of narration. What Mike brings to it is his personality

I vividly remember this story. There were people all over the state looking for her and it was such a letdown that she wasn’t found ok and alive. Also I’ll be exclusively referring to Tempe as Tempay from now it. It’s like calling Target “Targéy” because *fancy*

[@brandyrichard6001]

[@bansidheaz]

I don't remember it at all and I can't figure out why! I'm an Arizona native and although I've been living in the Tucson area for ages, I'm from Phoenix and was visiting the area frequently while this scumbag was out and about.

[@EYE_GOTCHA]

I’m cringing, hard, because I always thought that it was pronounced “Tem-pay”. 😬 P.S. My excuse is that I’m from Connecticut. 😃

@@bansidheaz that is kinda weird but it was kind of a turbulent time in AZ so it kinda makes sense 🤷‍♂️😂

[@off_kilter_productions]

[@Sweetpixels01]

He was a friend of mine, I'm surprised it took so long for someone to pick up on this story, I mean he helped us move and we attended community events together in Phx with my children and his daughter. by all appearances he was just a normal single dad.

[@louellacharlton4425]

They said the same of Ted Bundy. First true crime book I had read "The Stranger Beside Me". Wow.Never trust the "pretty ones"!

[@iliketowatch.]

"Normal"? I don't know about that. He sure seemed to send a lot of disturbing hints about what was going on inside his head. Then again, not everyone who is interested in serial killers ARE serial killers, although it does seem like all serial killers ARE interested in (other) serial killers. I guess you can never be sure how much is fantasy and how much is real, or the lengths a person will go to make their fantasies a reality.

[@haydonhinson305]

I lived literally down the street from him and would see the car everyday. Figured he was a slightly weird guy but never expected something like this. A new couple lives in his house now. Wonder if they know the history of the previous owner

[@tillitsdone]

A forty something guy playing zombie hunter in costume is far from normal. It's something you might expect from a 6th grader.

I lived out there in 1999 and I remember missing flyers everywhere for a little girl names Mikelle Biggs. I wonder if this guy had something to do with it...She was from Mesa, I believe, which is super close. To my knowledge, they have never found her and never had any real suspects. 🧐

[@Fcreceptor]

He was living in Washington state in 1999. He had moved there is 1998.

[@uncertain_zee]

Ah, theres a guy in my apartment complex who's always had a decommissioned cop car with "zombie hunter" decals, all black, full of hazard and toxic signs, hes kind of an asshole and takes up too many parking spots and all that... Im gonna paranoid forever, thanks man! 😂💀

[@lisalynnmarie2448]

Such a very sad and tragic that happened to those girls and their families. I hope the "cancer" makes his life a painful experience until Judgment Day. Mike's videos are always so well done and researched, and I loved the little comments throughout this one 😁 Prayers to all families involved in this tragic case 🙏 This guy truly earned that death sentence!!

[@primesspct2]

Hugs Mike ~~~not to be a drag, but yet still managing to be one! Seizure disorders are something I suffer with ,as do many others.......those flashing lights are triggering to epileptics. A trigger warning at the beginning of the video would really help me out. Love your stuff, sorry to complain!

[@lc3853]

Oh stop. You love complaining.

[@Mr.SnekMeister]

Thanks for another amazingly narrated story Mike, and on a quick side note I feel like this guy could've had an amazing future if he just did the right things. I.E. get his hoarding under control, priorities, and of course NOT MURDER ANYONE (or attempt). But unfortunately, he got whats coming for his poor life choices.

[@adelaidefinch6197]

Finally someone did this story. I actually knew the guy. He bought art from me several times. D: I always had a weird feeling abut him so I never went anywhere alone with him.

[@deathwrenchcustom]

Hey! I also knew him, and one night he came to my house to pick up a couple of zombie knives that I used to make. My son and I were watching TV, and when I heard his car coming down the street (it was that loud), I jumped up and turned off the lights. I told my son that I didn't want to talk to him because he gave me the creeps. It was only a few days later that he was arrested.

Those pictures of him posing with cops next to his "Zombie Hunter" vehicle are so disturbing -- they clearly have no idea with whom they're posing. And I wonder how much of a thrill it must have given him to do so. Sick mfer.

[@TheFlowerchild712]

The fact that the defense tried to argue insanity to get him off seriously pisses me tf off. These poor girls.

[@jimmyzhao2673]

It's their job to try every legal defense, otherwise he could appeal his conviction saying he had inadequate counsel. I sometimes feel bad for state appointed defense lawyers, they get a case dumped in their laps, and have to go with it.

Thanks Mike, always a fascinating watch 👌🏻💕 I have a feeling this guy, right about when he's due for his sentence to be carried out, will all of a sudden make claim to 1 of the 2 remaining unsolveds.

Hi, neighbor! We lived right across the street from you. My girlfriend at the time (now ex-wife) used to roller blade on that path. She was 17. I knew Bryan in 2015, and actually sent him a message saying, "Hey! Some guy with the same name as you was just arrested for murder!" After not getting a reply, I checked his Facebook page.

An aside, early in this video, there's a clip of a news anchor/on air personality from a Phoenix station reporting on the 2015 murder of the Salines woman. His name was Christopher Sign. In 2017 he moved back to his home state of Alabama (he played football at the Univ of Alabama) and was working as an anchor for a local station in Birmingham, ABC 33/40. In the summer of 2021, he committed suicide in his home, leaving a wife and a couple of kids. Just a tangent to Mike's main story.

[@AnyoneCanSee]

The father didn't "lead the charge" he started a campaign of harassment and abuse and constant false accusations that destroyed the cab driver's life. That cab driver went through hell for YEARS! The father kept pushing the cops the harass him. It destroyed his life. He lost his job and couldn't find work as whenever he did the father harrassed his employer. I saw a documentary that was basically blaming the cab driver and it showed his interaction and that the local cops blamed him. The father thought he was some sort of detective solving the crime but he was just a piece of shit who spent years harassing an innocent man.

[@EYE_GOTCHA]

The cabbie could have sued him and I hope that he did.
