Great Video

[@melissadwiggins]

I knew he was talking about Diane Downs as soon as the second story started damn near. What a monster; someone who definitely doesn't deserve the title of "mother".

[@maevependragon]

Yes! What a horrible story! I watched it on one of those ID channel shows.

[@brendastarkey3350]

Yep! I always think of the Farrah Fawcett movie Small Sacrifices when I hear this story.

[@Beena2020]

I remember that happening and the creepy interview she did. She was laughing! What an evil woman.

[@saraertek7806]

Me too! But somehow it is so terrible that it was shocking someone (of course) actually worked in tehe case.

[@Thatspookychick]

1st guy was probably close to being exposed for something really shady (dark web stuff)and decided to end it before then. I honestly feel sorry for the wife because she probably has some salt coming for the wound.

[@maevependragon]

Yeah I definitely thought CP or some sort of extortion. Those "boring" people are the ones you have to watch out for. They're totally sus to me.

[@kawaiieconomics6818]

I don't think he actually did anything wrong. It sounds like he saw something terrible and THOUGHT basically the police were going to come for him and just spiraled into a nervous breakdown. Actual psychopaths paradoxically are very covetous of their family, and would think they were being virtuous by making sure their wife never saw the death because she was blameless in the situation. It sounds like he saw something that caused a paranoid episode that just ended in this.

[@maevependragon]

@@kawaiieconomics6818 Good point. I feel sorry for everyone involved if it was a psychotic break. Psychotic episode doesn't equal psychopath and more people need to learn this!!!

[@IAmTheSkinThief]

That or CP and didn't want to be found out.

[@thelittlestgiant]

Why end your life in such a horrific and painful way though? Extremely weird choice. Maybe felt super guilty and self-loathing.

[@flakes_snowe]

The horrible part is that since Larry's first victim wasn't dead, he received a lighter sentencing. Larry couldn't be put to death until an assault became a literal murder. His first victim didn't die. But they need to really change some things in the judicial system because the victim's state was intended murder and definitely gruesome enough with how she was grossly assaulted and left to die. That to me counts as murder since it was Larry's complete intention. I hope that it some day changes that when there's no doubt of someone's intention, that they won't get released just to wait for an actual murder.

[@efe_aydal]

I agree 100%. You intend to kill someone but you're just sloppy or the victim is lucky. Why should it change the sentence? Because people who make the laws don't care about us. They only care to give a false sense of security.

[@GiordanDiodato]

tbh the death penalty should be abolished, mostly because it's too expensive. Just let the inmates take care of them.

[@HqM143]

Story 1 - maybe he was hacked or black mailed by dark net and had no choice. Maybe he had cp and was being ransomed

[@maevependragon]

My thoughts too! It's sus af.

[@mauricaribon9819]

Good point

[@ScullyPop]

Your graphic designer is a genius.

[@efe_aydal]

30:17 Oooh I think I know this case. Let's see if it's that one. Two criminals tricking a tribe into believing they're prophets or somth. Unbelievable story. Thanks for covering these interesting topics man. This case 100% needs to be a movie.

[@cureforintroversion1262]

Sounds like the Road to El Dorado but a lot more murdery

[@jenflinchum4360]

My guess about the husband who set himself on fire is that he had child porn on the computer. He got rid of the evidence then took himself out. Sad, no matter what though.

[@big3fanboy19]

That what I think so to

[@Nyctonaut]

Maybe he got rid of the computer and decided he was gonna stop finally. When he couldn't he decided to take his own life. As a former addict (drugs) myself I can relate (to the addiction mentality, def not to how someone could do THAT) to the feeling of wanting to quit and changing your life only to have that addiction rear its ugly head again and feeling like nothing is going to change. Just over 4 years clean now. ;) life is good.

[@infinitemidnightghostmourner]

The drain cleaner thing is an actual nightmare. It legitimately terrifies me. The arm loss too (I'm an artist). Lord, I sincerely pray I never have to face that kind of horror ever. Ever ever. Please oh Lord.

[@maevependragon]

Oh hell yes. I feel the same. That kind of stuff is nightmare fuel!!!

[@alliexmt8660]

If my husband burned himself alive after suspiciously throwing out our computer… all I’m saying is that I wouldn’t rest peacefully until I know what he did or what led to him offing himself, because nobody would choose such an awful manner to go out if he were just unhappy..

[@efe_aydal]

I just finished the first 3. Great stories as always. Far better than anything out there. I'm really glad I found your channel.

[@brockjensen2473]

Theory for the first story; the man was trying to only burn the computer but used gas or something and it managed to get on him igniting him. It’s very possible this could be the reason he was frozen and not answering his wife because he was contemplating if he could wait because it could be discovered by time he has another opportunity to burn it. I think this is what happened. Anyone with fear of being caught with CP would do anything to stop any possibly it’s found

[@saraertek7806]

CP was exactly my thought

[@theveimox4945]

I was listening to that story and thinking he probably deserved to be burned to death cause there's only one thing I can think of that'd cause him to get rid of his computer like that

[@NJTransit1985]

He left his work ID at home. It’s almost as if he wanted her there.

[@mmlw6675]

I really want the ending to story 1

[@dontwakethedeadp.jankey9592]

Some of the interviews with Diane Downs shows the evil in her. She was joking and flirting with the detective. Most mother's would have lost their crap after losing a child. Very disturbing.

[@cureforintroversion1262]

Unfortunately, she's not most.

[@cureforintroversion1262]

dreading crime and psychology goes into depth about how she was trying to get the public on her side in the worst possible way

[@SoulfoodPogo]

Hey, man. Love your readings! I've been listening to you several years on my personal account. You're one of my favorite narrators on KZbin. I love your work! I just started my channel... This channel I'm commenting under. It's more vintage sci-fi and horror, but with music and sound effects. I'd live to know what you think about it, or if you can give me any pointers / constructive criticism... You know, without destroying my self-confidence... 😄 I'd been thinking about starting it for a while. But then I broke my femur. So no work and lots more time! But anyhow, if you get a chance, I'd live to hear your thoughts. And thanks for all your stories!

[@MirrenTheDragonKnight]

Here are some more horrific details about the Mary Vincent case: * Her friends tried to convince her not to get in the man's car, finding it suspicious (obviously) that he would only take one of them. * Before cutting one of her arms off, her would-be-killer asked her if she wanted to be free (Mary was either silent or pleading freedom, I don't recall which), and after cutting off the other and tossing her over the cliff, he apparently said: "Now, you're free." * As she left court, he also whispered to her (it was the only time he was able to get close to her) that he would finish the job.

[@raeleneelizabeth3850]

Mary Vincent’s story will never heave my mind. I have known about her and what happened to her for years. Idfk how anyone could forget her name Or what she went threw! There’s only been two stories that legit haunt me. I’m a true crime fanatic. But two stories hunt me. Mary Vincent’s && Junko Furuta… What they both went threw. But junko went threw so much torture in 44 days. Idk if anyone has ever heard of her. But what those boys and the one kids family (family let their son do it) and all the 100 men who SA her as well as the boys. Both stories fucked me up. And they got barley anything. Those boys should have been sent aced to DEATH!

The story about the woman who's children were attacked in a supposed car jacking is about Diane Downing. it's a horrible case. I'm not surprised that people quit over it. I can't imagine having to meet and talk to someone like that. It was bad enough watching the documentary

The mother in story 2 is called Diane Downs. She’s in prison but could possibly be released on parole in 2025, although her previous parole hearings have been denied.

[@shawnbbunbbbybbb3942]

In the first story all I could think about was this story better not end without telling us what was on that hard drive and of course it did im so pissed. The only thing I can think is that maybe he was hiding conversations of an affair or maybe even worse proof that he was trying to meet a child or CP or something like that cause what could possibly cause a guy that seemingly has a great life to kill himself, and if u r gonna kill yourself u can’t think of anything a little less painful than setting yourself on fire?
