Famous Tiktoker to Killer | The Case of "Yandere Freak" Snow The Salt Queen

[@CoffeehouseCrime]

Hi all! On the branch of strange cases this week's video is quite different to my usual, partly to give us a refresher from traditional true crime - We're back to the usual next week! I’m very curious to know what you thought of this week's oddball case... important to try new waters every once in a while. Edit: Just wanted to add to those who were interested and wondering - Helen preferred both ‘she’ and ‘they’ pronouns. I chose the former to better differentiate between Helen and Snow throughout the story. And thank you to Babbel for sponsoring today's video.

[@meligoth]

At the height of my involvement in the goth scene, taking videos or photos in a cemetery has always been a tempting activity. I did not have the vanity to do so, and as I got older the foolishness of such an act grew in my mind. In the end I did not miss out on anything from not doing it.

[@frankmarano1118]

@@meligoth Still even taking pics in a cemetery is very different than dancing on the graves. Permission obviously should be sought, & the cemetery could even come up with some compromise or conditions that theyd find acceptable. This girl didnt even care when she murdered her friend & joked around about loving blood & hiding bodies. They are likely a sociopath with little to no empathy, only caring about themself. I'm sure she probably thought, "Well I wont let this ruin my career" or something along those lines. She was in denial because her career in regards to yandere type stuff was most certainly over after that. Nobody would want anything to do with it & shed just get flamed relentlessly. How can anyone not understand a real gun is never a prop? You never aim a firearm at someone unless you intend to kill.

NOT the killer. Get your facts straight man if you are going to make such a long recap at least lol. & an accident gone wrong IS manslaughter man, she isnt charged for MURDER right? So your "does she plead guilty or is it a accident gone wrong?" makes no sense because if she pleads guilty, shes pleading to an accident gone wrong!

[@TheCatchFilms]

The four fundamentals of handling a firearm should be taught more often. They're very easy to understand: 1. Treat every gun as if it's loaded 2. Never point the muzzle at anything you don't intend to destroy 3. Keep your finger off the trigger until you're ready to fire 4. Be aware of your target and what's behind it And it's an unwritten rule that you never EVER handle a firearm while inebriated in any way. I smoke weed every day, but I won't touch it if I know I'm going to the range.

yes! there are a couple of guns in my house and i do have to handle them sometimes, and even when they're completely unloaded, chamber cleared, i still treat it as if it's loaded, keep my finger off the trigger, and point it strategically to avoid damage or worse, just in case. guns do not care what your intentions are and so you need to remain diligent and aware of what you are doing and what's going on around you when you're handling guns at every second. definitely don't pull them out when you're drunk... beyond snow i think their boyfriend and possibly their parents also bear some responsibility for this happening. the boyfriend is stupid because leaving your gun somewhere like that is already negligent. leaving it with someone known to be reckless and regularly drunk is negligent. leaving it with someone who does not know even the basics of gun safety is negligent. i wish that gun hadn't been in their house that night...

[@jamesmcmillian9890]

@@lionguy4107 Same. I wasn't allowed to get an airsoft gun until I was 13. I was taught to treat that airsoft pistol as if it were a loaded 9mm. Always had it on safety, never pointed it at people, even as a joke. My grandfather taught me how to aim with it. I thought this stuff was taught to everyone until I showed my friends the airsoft pistol and most of them didn't seem to give a shit about safety. Obviously it's not gonna kill anyone, but it can still BLIND people. That's a good enough reason to treat it like the real thing.

⁠@@blackhawk_Enochserpent That has nothing to do with anything, they they were a teenager when Danganronpa was really popular. Also, this behavior is more than likely to have been caused by an unstable home/school life or biological factors. There are many signs that an individual may develop sociopathic/psychopathic tendencies and/or behavior when they grow up. If people chose to ignore these signs then that’s on them. The ex boyfriend shouldn’t have left the gun, if he were a responsible gun owner he’d know that was a stupid decision. If the ex boyfriend knew about Snow’s drinking/smoking habits then he wouldn’t have left a weapon that was still loaded regardless if the magazine was taken out or not. Snow should not have been double dipping because alcohol and drugs should NOT be mixed. Snow is at fault here, NOT a video game.

I guess it is easy to avoid prison if you shoot someone in the head then make tik tok videos making fun of the situation because of all the money you make from the videos you upload.. Basically what message the country is putting out is you can do whatever you want to anyone you want at anytime. You can R@pe them if you feel like it and even murder them if you choose to do so. Go ahead and do whatever you feel like doing to anyone and nobody in this country will try to stop you as long as you have alot of money you can do whatever it is you please. Be our guest.

Tbh I have experienced a lot of death and losses in my life and obviously will experience more. I know first hand that everyone has different coping mechanisms when it comes to dealing with tragedy and death. Yes it is an odd way to deal with it but it may just be her way of coping. Don't get me wrong I am not on her side, just saying facts. Also I know this doesn't excuse anything being very young like that and if genuinely thought the gun was empty then, she would obviously think it was safe to pull the trigger. Not at all difficult to understand, let's be honest. But gun should never have been so easily accessible. But from my experience, I lost my best friend of 12 years, it had been 6 years now and for the first 3 years I was horrible to everyone I come across online or in real world. Taken me a while to realise why I was doing it, it was just automatic for me as I was just not happy my friend is gone. People cope with things in different ways..so maybe for her to act like nothing happened and treat it like fiction and make videos about death was probably a coping mechanism.

I had two friends I'll call them Bill and Ben in my last job. Bill grew up on a farm and was big into hunting. One day Bill invited us to his family's farm to try shooting wood pigeons. Before we even got to see the gun Bill went through all the safety rules and really stressed that we were to walk behind the person with the gun, the person with the gun was to keep it pointed at the ground till you're ready to shoot, don't point it at anything you don't want to kill, the safety comes off as you lift the gun and your finger stays off the trigger till you're ready to shoot. Bill then showed us how the gun worked, how to check it was safe and then had us watch him shoot a couple of pigeons. He then let Ben have gun, but reiterated all the safety rules first. Ben took 3 steps in that time he took the safety off put his finger on the trigger, tripped and blew a hole in the ground to my left, I was luck the stupid bastard didn't blow my toes off of spray me with buckshot.

I actually went to highschool with Snow and lived just a few streets down from them. Went to their house, met their parents and sibling. I can't say much about their stepdad, but snow's mom was incredibly enabling of them, always bailing them out of bad situations even when it was undeniably Snow's fault. I was into anime during highschool so Snow and I connected and became friends. Over the course of a month they started bullying me and several others in our group of friends through manipulation and gaslighting. It escalated to the point where they told me to kill myself, something they claim that they would "never do", then tried to backpedal by calling the police to my house even though I wasn't home. This happened back in 2016. Although most of my highschool friendships have drifted apart, we are still united by how much we hate, and fear, Snow.

I was always told that an unloaded gun is more dangerous than a loaded gun, that's probably a little difficult for some people to get but it's absolutely true,as in this story

[@truesoulghost2777]

If it’s perceived as unloaded then yes

[@natalielee35]

One of the first rules of gun safety is it's always loaded. Even if you just took it apart and know it's empty. It's loaded.

[@GrumpyMunkyGameDesign]

No its perfectly sane, because an unloaded gun breeds an air of complicity, you assume the guns unloaded so you treat it like a toy, and THATS what makes it more dangerous, not the gun itself, its the lack of concern by the user when they BELIEVE its unloaded. This is why gun safety teaches to treat an unloaded firearm as tho it were loaded because you NEVER know unless you check wether thats true or not and becoming complacent with firearms to the point you can direct them towards people 'jokingly' is even more dangerous because it betrays a lack of respect for the destructive capability of the weapon in question and anyone caught doing that should have their firearms license revoked immediately because they clearly have no respect for the power they wield.

[@anenfairy4996]

@@natalielee35 absolutely, as someone who handles and builds them, yes. If I took apart a gun, especially in an environment where I am not alone - someone could have just as easily put a loaded mag or a round in for god knows what and now I'm coming back to a loaded gun. its only ever happened once and my paranoid must-check-if-its-loaded tendency found said round. Honestly, I have a very do not touch my guns attitude as it is, but especially not at my house. Best way to avoid mistakes? Check if its loaded, every time, but even better? Don't let people touch your guns to begin with unless you're at the range.

I wanted to add as someone that found my best friend dead when I was 15, and we absolutely LOVED Cosplay and horror, NOTHING was the same for me after that. I could never have made the type of Yandere content Snow did after that incident. While everyone and how they cope with pain and loss is different of course, and I am still an avid lover of horror, I had to stay away from the subject of death for a very long time. I couldn't even handle shows that had funerals in them for awhile, ESPECIALLY torture or anything that had gore. I remember a girl in High School reading a poem about how she thought death was beautiful - when I used to write dark gorey poems about death all of the time before my own incident with my friend - and I was furious to my core listening to her that day. To this day I can't watch dark things the same way like I used to love them when I was a young teenager. Snow and I are different people of course, but I feel as someone who could potentially relate, I do not understand her actions afterwards AT ALL. I was unfortunate enough that my best friend was already gone when I found her, and there was nothing I could do, and how hard the subject of death was for me for many years to come. I can only imagine the added on trauma if I WERE THE ONE that directly caused her death like in Snow's case. So the fact that Snow not only seemed to revel in death after her friend's passing, but boasted about being a "real Yandere" after literally shooting her, I find absolutely revolting. As someone that absolutely loves Horror and even the Yandere stereotype to a degree, I could never have "coped" the way Snow did. I fully believe she is not fully remorseful, and seems to romanticize the event and death still, and 110% deserves to be in prison for her carelessness, accident or not.

[@BenSS3]

I agree on some points, but the change in content could very easily be due to traumatization, which may cause a person suffering from it to create content relating to it. There are generally two reasons for this behavior, generally speaking, if that is indeed the case: Firstly, it's their mind's way of trying to cope. This may be done by taking the subject lightly, such as making fun of it, recreating similar situations to re-live through the traumatizing situation but ending with no one being hurt, to try to trick oneself into believing that it had happened the way it was recreated, to escape the feelings of guilt (among many others, such as self-hatred). The second situation that commonly may occur would simply be the person being so desperate to cry out for help, that they do similar things that are the cause of their distress, partially subconciously (without the person really realizing why they're doing it themselves, at least not entirely). So in both purely hypothetical situations, it could well be a normal psychological response due to grief and guilt, and so on. Note - I am not a medical professional in any way, shape, or form. I'm merely offering a personal insight based off of speculation. Also - I am not saying that she's not in the wrong by any stretch, nor am I saying that she's 100% at fault, either. My only reason to post this reply is to hopefully spread awareness of how our minds work (in some cases) to cope with what I'd imagine to be unrelenting guilt and basically the whole world being against her. Imagine putting yourself in that person's shoes for a moment. It's absolutely terrifying, just the thought that many people on the internet would try to harrass you and possibly even target you for more nefarious plots... They know your face, your basic info, and could probably piece together where the person lives from past videos, social media, and so forth. Yeah, I'll pass on that, but I'll also try not to do something so foolish. (Yes, she was on drugs, we ALL have that one dumbass moment that we can recall - be honest! ;] ) P.S. - The media attention that this would get will always try to paint someone as the victim, and another group/person as pure evil. Let's keep this in mind, as boring accidental stories don't sell as many copies as a novelty cold blooded killer case. :(

It's an example of your commitment to true reporting and research, so, again, thanks.

[@UndeadEyes]

I once had to point a real .45 at someone for a zombie-photoshoot with the safety off due to the angle. Before we began, I had the girl I'd be pointing it at come over and told her I had to show her it was empty (and verify for myself). Despite her saying it was fine, I explained that this wasn't optional. I took out the magazine and verified it was empty, checked the chamber, cocked and checked the chamber again, double checked the barrel, etc. It was 100% empty and I knew it, but I was still going to triple check and show her as well. Lightest trigger finger on that gun still during the shoot. Everything went fine. Even knowing that gun could not fire a bullet because it was 100% empty, I was still paranoid about it. It's better to be paranoid than for someone to end up dead. Everyone needs to understand that all because a magazine is removed, that doesn't mean squat if there's one in the chamber. It takes one mistake with a gun for someone to be dead. So, like you, I'm happy he explained this and showed the diagram.

As a gun owner, You NEVER point a gun at ANYTHING unless you are willing to destroy it. This means keeping the safety on, finger inoff the trigger, and not pointing it around. I consider my guns no different than my power tools in my workshop. You follow the tools because they didn't RESPECT the tools ability to cause harm under certain situations. That's where I see the problem with this case. these women show ZERO RESPECT FOR ANYTHING (like dancing on graves). These are the kinds of idiots that should be near a gun, knife, or a Tide Pod. Basically anything. It's not lack of education or access to proper gun training that would have prevented this. It's lack of respect for anything and not thinking at all. This is the same attitude you see on TikTok where some idiot goes car surfing or parkouring off a large building that is out of their league...all for views and ego.

I knew both Snow and Helen when I was into cosplay a few years back. Both were always very kind to me and seemed very genuine. Unfortunately, Snow would always display such awful and toxic behavior towards fellow cosplayers, especially smaller ones like me, so I stopped being mutuals with them, but remained friends with Helen. I eventually stopped cosplaying, and lost contact with both Helen and Snow. When the charges surfaced earlier this year, I couldn't believe it. Never did I believe that Snow, despite their awful behavior, was capable of such heinousness.

The characters they portray are girls who aren't mentally stable, who kill and harm others for and because of love. They'll kill the one they love in order to keep them to themselves, but they'll also kill anybody who goes against them or the person they love. Some of them also cut/kill the one they love because they find them more attractive like that, because it's their way of loving, and such. "Yanderes" are a very twisted type... So the fact Snow was all that cheerful talking about death and murders is "normal" regarding the characters they were playing as, and all their videos were probably of the same kind. It still doesn't make it right, but I also felt it could have been Snow's way to grieve or to maybe reject reality.
