I'm noticing a lot of the murderers featured on this channel had been abused as children. It kind of makes me interested in how human personality develops

[@sharong8511]

I read somewhere that the human conscience is formed in the first 36 months of life. Because babies are like little sponges, absorbing everything that they see and hear, it makes sense to me that a child who has been physically abused and shouted at a lot will come to believe that is "normal," that must be how everyone's home is. The kids start hitting other kids, nobody wants to play with the mean kid, and he is shunned. This subject would make a fascinating study, if one could observe a group of kids at different ages, the same kids I mean, and see how the "bad" kids actually turn out.

[@GuyUWishUWere]

suffering builds character... I mean it's not GOOD character but still... Edit: it's not necessarily good character

[@cyansloth1763]

It's not always the case. I don't know why some people turn out to accept abuse because they were abused, or instead become abusers, or choose to get help and say I don't deserve this and others don't deserve this. I think deep inside we know it's not right but it gets buried by years of experience.

[@emilylambourne4502]

Gabriel Richey Jeffrey dahmer wasn’t abused. Sorry it’s quite judgemental how people assume all abused children ended up being killers and violent people where we shouldn’t be painting everything with the same brush. I know couple friends in my life who were exposed to abuse and not much affection who ended up being the most hardworking and less confronting people I know without a violent streak on them. Yes it affects different people but not all.

[@emilylambourne4502]

Sharon G see your point but not all cases. This is why some people are scared to come forward about abuse cause people assume such the worse.

[@samnotsowell5192]

My dad believes he nearly became a victim of Milat when he was at a rest stop coming back from Melbourne, however he said that there was 2 of them and a lot of people are now believing that one of his brothers was an accomplice. He said the brother came over while Ivan waited behind their car to ask for a cigarette lighter, my dad said he only slightly opened the window and kept the doors locked, and he believed that saved his life. I don't know if what he says is true or not, but it is a scary thought, because if it was, I may have never known my dad.

Great episode, but being an Australian myself, since that you have covered Ivan Milat's case, you must now cover the Port Arthur Massacre now, it's only suitable.

[@kara_the_duck]

You can own semi automatic centre fire rifles for vermin control if you own a pest control business. You can also own semi automatic rim fire rifles and shotguns for vermin control if you are a primary producer. There is also a firearm collectors licence which you can own various semi automatic weapons with.

Milat inspired the movie _Wolf Creek_.

[@Wall_enjoyer]

W. James and wolf creek 2

[@ashyj7511]

Actually, the main influence of Wolf Creek is Bradley Murdoch, he committed similar murder in the Northern Territory. My husband and I know the people who had to hide the survivor, Joanne Lees, the owner of Barrow Creek Roadhouse was the bloke who assisted and housed her while she had to remain in Alice Springs. Here's a link www.outback-australia-travel-secrets.com/wolf_creek_true_story.html - of course Ivan Milat also had influence in the making of Wolf Creek too.

[@unplannedautopsy]

"Murdoch's trial was still under way at the time of the film's initial release in Australia in 2005. As the film was marketed as being "based on true events", the Northern Territory court placed an injunction on the film's release within the territory in the belief that it could influence the outcome of the proceedings. However, many are misled into thinking that the entire movie is based on a true story, when it only had many influences from other murders around Australia, like the Ivan Milat backpacker murders as well as the Falconio murder case." - Wikipedia

The church removed Gods name which was present 7000 times.. Are you aware worlds monachies, leaders are owned controlled educated trained by the Jesuits of Rome? Did you know that every part of the world are Roman provinces?

Catholics have not bothered to reaserch their own religion and the gruesome atrocities of the church past and present.. Did you know that the church Bishops approved of the second world War The rawandian genocides the massacres of the Hugnouts prodestants Christians Jews? The pope thinks he is God You like millions are decieved Do you know that the church goes against the teachings of the scriptures mixes Bible truth with their own teachings and doctrines and traditions...

The girl who changed her story about being raped must have felt so guilty because if she would have just stuck to her story, he would have been put away before he killed all of those other people..

[@zomb33ni]

Carol probably but she was probably victim blamed into changing her story. That's the only way I could think of being why she would even change her story... Most victims don't go after their assaulters because of the issues with the judicial system and afraid of being blamed for the assault. It's easier to just try and forget and court proceedings are exhausting and traumatizing. This gonna sound awful to but if there wasn't previous assaults before her she probably felt she wasn't going to be believed.

Ivan was renowned through the Australian prison system for extreme physical strength. He is, apparently, extremely physically strong indeed. Ivan is also renowned for self-mutilation over the years, in protest against not being able to have his case and his conviction reviewed in an appeal, as he still claims his own innocence. The trial was very much torn between the possibility of it having been one of his brothers who actually committed the murders.

[@hellogeneralkenobi3292]

I like this video(pilot episode? first show?) and how you psychologically pin pointed why Ivan did everything he did with the reasons behind it. This was interesting and I have a feeling that this will become my favorite series as more come.

[@eldergroan]

i disagree with the idea that exposure to guns contributed to the criminal tendencies of the family. even the facts of this case show most attacks were done with a knife. don't jump on the "guns r' bad" bandwagon just because it's pc.

[@RobGavagan]

I own a number of guns. The children were allowed to play with air rifles while they were taught that physical abuse was okay. That is a recipe for disaster. And Ivan often shot victims. Sometimes several times in the head. They'd be dead and he would just keep shooting. I am not at all any part of the "ban guns / guns are bad" bandwagon.

[@coolblackguy99]

I love hearing Americans trying to pronounce Australian cities :P Great video Rob keep up the good work

[@coolblackguy99]

I find it hilarious how riled up you are over this. Like really, what kind of loner would have anything better to do with their life than to conjure up a fairly racist rant with a bunch of stupid points over a harmless comment that post in good intention (from nearly a year ago) Like I really can't tell if you're that stupid or just a troll. you're doing a good work at it mate lol

[@Ebbsos]

Ninjamammoth hahaha not our fault you're a bloody idiot and can't pronounce shit correctly mate ;) fuck up

[@sydneystardust7361]

U gonna teach me to pronounce my own name

[@kvltizt]

Ninjamammoth lol dumbass.

[@imdreamingagain2518]

Vitaly is a troll, he's all over these comments. Just trying to get a reaction because he has no other form of pleasure or validation in his pathetic, meaningless life.

[@natirawan7944]

old tale of the ivan milat, a friend of mine cousin's dated the crazy nephew of him ( whos always in jail , here Australia for murdering his "mate" at the same area where his uncle killed the backpackers ) . he said the hole side of the milat family are a bit crazy . Australia mate 👍

[@HolyBatgirl]

Milat is infamous in Australia... we all know who he is.

[@dougiemyfh91]

+Cartch His Nephew, Matthew Milat was also convicted of murder. At 17 years old he and a friend who was 18, murdered someone on his 17th birthday. Pretty fucked up. So yeah, a heaps infamous name.

[@mrs.chandler9384]

You are infamous in my wet dreams

[@Erizedd]

My family and I used to go for bushwalks through Belangelo State Forest. We were actually walking in the forest during the time when Ivan Milat was murdering hitchhikers. On one particular day two of my brothers (I'm one of 12 siblings) discovered a backpack laying at the edge of the trail we were walking on, and decided to take it home in order to patch up their own backpacks. About a month or two later, the first reports came on the news about the Belangelo murders, and my brothers, remembering the backpack, decided to hand it in to police as evidence. It still creeps me the hell out thinking of the poor person that backpack belonged to, and moreso, how close we may have been to becoming his victims. We were frequent walkers there and Ivan knew the area back to front, so I'm sure he knew we were there. I think our saving grace was the fact we were in a large group and would have been too hard to handle. Further, one of my brothers works as a guard at the supermax prison where Milat is being kept in solitary confinement. Here are some other interesting (disturbing) facts. Ivan Milat used to hunt wild pigs, but apparently upped it to humans as they proved more of a challenge and thrill. Some of the hitchikers (I'm not sure if all) had been drugged with tea before being taken further into the forest where he released them - giving them a head start before hunting them down.

Here I am again, I can watch these over and over.

[@ricochetdouglas820]

It bothers me when people pronounce Melbourne wrong. It's not Mel bourne It's Mel bn Same rule applies to Brisbane, Brisbn

[@ricochetdouglas820]

avril McKenzie Because no one ever pays attention to Australia :(

[@MrStonedbunny69]

Same goes for Goulburn. Goul-bn. I mean I live here I should know how to pronounce it. Haha

[@MrStonedbunny69]

+Megan Christine anyone and everyone that does not live in Australia always gets city names and names in general wrong. Maybe that's why he killed 7 people, they couldn't say his name right haha

[@MrStonedbunny69]

[@ladybushranger2239]

Ninjamammoth It's not an Australian word. It comes from the name of the prime minister of Great Britian at the time ( 1837 ) & I think it is actually a Scottish surname, so we Aussies had very little say in it

Doesn't this link into the film 'Wolf Creek' and 'Wolf Creek 2'?

[@mustardcat4546]

Ye

[@loyboys]

+Lewis JH it's the case that inspired the movies yes.

[@neuralmute]

+Lewis JH Absolutely. Ivan Milat was the inspiration for the character Mick, and the movie Wolf Creek. I remember watching Wolf Creek with my boyfriend, and commenting halfway through, "This is totally based on Ivan Milat, I'll bet!" A quick check to the film's website confirmed it.

[@jakecamacho1471]

Lewis JH based of this

[@69mrsteveo]

This is Ivan not Mick.

[@Nandysokar]

I am so glad you started talking slower, the older videos I always slow down the playback speed!!! this is some quality content!!

[@jabbersart6218]

i live a 10 minute walk away from a pit stop he made with two victims in his car, its crazy to think that with my neighborhood so close that no one could hear them screaming....

[@cheapangler1365]

Is this the guy the movies Wolf Creek & Wolf Creek 2 are made after?

[@CatWatchesYouTube]

Yes

[@timmyagnew4233]

[@paratenichost348]

Did he mention that this case inspired Wolf Creek?

[@steampunk6318]

I'm so impressed with how high-produced this looks! It really looks like something I would see on my TV 👍

[@kenarslan3977]

Im from Australia and Milat got charged with 7 murders of backpackers who were hitchhiking.He's responsible for more missing people who disappeared from 70's to the 90's.He was a truly evil man who recently died from cancer in prison.

[@darlingjay4809]

Why do all Australians including me say Mel bin instead of Mel boorn

[@darlingjay4809]

or mel burn or even mel bne

[@Ferrychick1]

And that is why, boys and girls, you should never hitchhike or pick up a hitchhiker!

[@RoseIsAsleep]

Hey, would you ever consider narrating people's scary stories if it can be read in under 20min? Maybe as a weekend segment? Lots of creative people write short stories and i think you would even enjoy some of the well written ones?

[@bloodsweatandbeers4684]

You should do a piece on HH Holmes, Jack the ripper, and Charlie Manson

[@valeriecomplex9685]

Is this what Wolf Creek is based on?
