[@lornaginetteharrison7168]

When my dad was an apprentice at British Leyland, a [now defunct] car manufacturer in the UK, at the beginning of his career many decades ago (he’s currently nearly 81), he was asked to check on something in one of the paint ovens just before it was due to be turned on. There was a fault with the door which prevented it from staying open, so his mate was told to keep his foot in the doorway to stop it from closing shut. My dad went in, did his work, then heard a bang. The door was closed! My dad panicked, as there was no way of opening the door from the inside. He started shouting and banging on the door. He says he can’t remember how long he was stuck in there, but he knew that the oven would start heating up soon. Fortunately the door was opened in the nick of time by his "mate", who was laughing his head off and couldn’t understand why my dad was so upset and angry. He said he’d got bored and went to go do something else, but just couldn’t grasp the seriousness of his negligence, leaving my dad trapped in an oven! One would hope that some sort of health and safety investigation would take place immediately if that happened today, but at the time, way back then, nobody in charge appeared to be at all bothered about my dad’s brush with potential death.

[@paweborkowski6959]

Damn. That's disturbing. When I was 10, I went to my friend's house on Wednesdays to play computer games. One Wednesday, his friend whom I immediately didn't like for some reason, came over. I almost begged my friend not to let the other kid in, but he didn't listen. Twenty minutes passed and I went to the bathroom. When I came out, my friend and his friend jumped at me with a cleaver and a kitchen knife telling me they would cut my throat. They got me against the door, with the cleaver against my throat and the knife next to my stomach. I was scared like never before (and maybe never after) but after a few moments, they started laughing saying it was a prank that I fell for. I screamed at my 'friend' to let me out. He kind of realised he screwed up badly and tried apologising to me but wasn't having it. I screamed louder at him to let me out. He opened the door and rushed outside, realising only after a few moments I left my jacket at his place but I wasn't going back. I ran home. At school, he tried to apologise a few times, saying it was his friend who convinced him to do the prank with him, but for me that was it. I never spoke to him which was weird considering we went to the same class. I never told anyone this until years later when I remembered the event after supressing it for a long time. As for the kid, I only had to ignore him til the end of that year, because surprisingly the whole family moved without telling anyone and I never found out what happened to him.

The story involving the girls is just sick. While the cops were "investigating" the fire scene those girls were being assaulted and tortured. That is one inept PD, failed to do their job when they had the evidence, the insurance card, in their hands. The girls never had justice or a proper funeral.

[@bunkle932]

Feels like maybe they weren't too motivated to look into it properly, maybe because her brother had allegedly tried to shoot one of them.

[@NotWorthTheTime]

Sean literally points out the evidence was there but everyone was TOO COWARDLY to come forward. So is it the cops fault for being inept or everyone around that stood silent? Personally I think the cowards are more to blame.

[@bunkle932]

@@NotWorthTheTime Except cops are *theoretically* supposed to be the ones who are taking those chances when there are violent people involved. It's what they signed up for. Why they wear bulletproof armor and are so protected legally. Even if random civilians were "brave" enough (stupid, really) to get involved, they'd be reporting it to the pissy little pigs who are aggressively ignoring the problem in the first place. If they try to testify, they will face two violent individuals while the police let it happen like they had so far. Or, if they 'take matters into their own hands', they're opening themselves up to being arrested themselves, for harming the perpetrators (ask open carry people about how careful you have to be in a gunfight not to get murder charges for legitimately defending yourself). This is police doing what they're here for: instilling fear and ignoring serious problems as they see fit. Give those same "cowards" guns and legal immunity, and the police wouldn't even be needed.

Theres a book about the second case called Hell in the Heartland.

It's also said that when Danny's body was officially found there was a boot print on him that of a cowboy boot and the only one he wore cowboy boots the crime the previous day was the sheriff, who was still the uncle of the man who shot and killed Shawn. And they never found the gun they said Sean pulled before being gunned down. The whole case was riddled with police incompetence, and overall I wouldn't have been surprised if the police knew about who killed them, or simply didn't care because the family was just days away from filing against the sheriff's department for wrongful death in the case of Shawn.

[@TeaCup1940]

About the first tragic story, there are other possible theories that are pretty realistic. One of them says that the man entered the plant over the Labor Day weekend from September 4-8 of 1987, as the plant was unionized and closed for the long weekend, making it an opportune time to wander around without worry of guards. This is very plausible, because thrill-seekers climb into industrial settings all the time, and unfortunately, with the open lid of boiler No. 9, this man unfortunately fell in. The second theory is about an anonymous tip received at one point during the investigation. It declared that a group of thrill-seekers used to climb around GP West's facility. If they feared detection, they would blow a whistle and the group would meet at a set location. The tip stated a man from New York, who recently arrived to the group, failed to meet at the set location once whistles were blown, and they never saw him again. If true, perhaps this is why he had an airline ticket/baggage claim stub still in his wallet.

Possibly, but many people don’t make flights they paid for. My mom was a flight attendant and I used to travel with her “space available” passes, where you could fly for almost free if you waited at the gate, and a seat/seats were left open. Even on flights booked totally full (you can check online), I and usually 6-7 others would get on, because 10 or so paid passengers weren’t there when the plane left.

I think in the case of "Ashley and Laura", the Police were accomplice to the murders because they hated Kathy's family. 1 ) The death of the son might not be what the police reported (the gun might have been planted after the shooting) and they knew it would be believable because of his previous records. 2) Police officers investigating the burnt-down trailer purposefully ignored Danny's body, so that they would pin the murder of Kathy and the disappearance of the two girls on Danny, misleading the investigation. 3) And for the same reason, continued to ignore the auto-insurance card because they knew it could lead to the actual murderers. The Police officers definitely had a grudge against that family, and the other family members knew it so they searched the remains themselves.

[@karenc4544]

I have always thought this. There is simply no way these monsters could’ve been so vocal about this crime and get away with it unless they weren’t worried about police. I think at least some officers were involved with their drug business. And maybe other things too. I believe the file that lead straight to the suspects wasn’t misplaced on accident. And refusing to investigate the insurance card was also because they knew where it would lead. There’s plenty of cases of corrupt cops committing depraved crimes like rape, murder and even serial killing. Those meth dealers had some friends in high places.

[@samuelantille8892]

Been binging ur videos all day, its so refreshijng to see stories like this that arent regurgitated all over these kjinds of channels. These are actually stoires i've never heard of considering how old some of them are

[@chelidonsz]

That first story. I don't know how I ended up learning about this, but I remember it really freaked me out. How does someone end up in a situation like that? Were they fooling around and accidentally fell? Or maybe they thought they could get out easily? I also thought about the "terminal burrowing" thing but the person was fully conscious.

[@a.nobodys.nobody]

Check out the Asian guy in the portapotty. That one was baffling!

[@themaxster7798]

After learning of Ashley and Lauria, all I can do is see those two sweet girls faces with smiles, mourn the hard life and great evil that befell them. They deserved so much better and should be remembered. 😪

[@daliilars3350]

Never change your soundtracks of choice. They are hypnotic and makes us listen to your stories even deeper. One of the soundtracks reminds me of the ending scene in The Terror series. If you've seen The Terror, you'll know what I mean.

[@kanepage7178]

Had to go through the full play list to make sure I like all the videos! Keep up the good work dude!

[@kevina.7234]

The first story is so weird. Its either self deletion, some weird fetish, or the female visitor to the other plant disposed of a body. I dont see any other reason to curl up on the pipes several times during the tour and creep out that plant worker. They wanted to make sure they fit/the body fit and could be in there until the thing turned on. Either to burn the body/thenselves away or thinking that since steam and heat rises, they could be in there and somehow safe. I am leaning towards the self delete, fell in but didnt immediately perish, and the rest was frantic regret until the temp got too high. The dna test is wrong or the man was so effeminate that the plant worker assumed wrong.

[@bondickle]

Yeah the first story kind of reminds me of you female news reporter who asked a police officer (or some sort of official) what the best way to self-delete via gun is and then after he told her the most successful method, she did it live on air. Some people really do do their research before going for it, sadly.

[@lynxrbeam8732]

This is the first time I’ve heard it referred to as “self delete,” and I find the term oddly amusing, which is scary to me lol.

Re: the first story. Random visitors to a steam plant can get a tour? Can any steam plant workers confirm if this is still likely?

[@a.nobodys.nobody]

Weren't they interested in working there?

[@bertbaker7067]

@@a.nobodys.nobody that makes sense, so I listened to that part again, but he only ever says "visitor" and never mentions anything about a job or application or anything else to hint at a job. Unless I missed it twice, idk

[@TAKAT0NIC]

@@bertbaker7067The plant that the tour happened in seems to be part of a university so I imagine it wasn’t unusual for them to give tours to random visitors who were interested in how the machines work, especially in pre-internet days. The plant the body was found in was a proper commercial plant that could be seen from the University

[@6ubble-gum]

I really feel like in the first story they hit that tiny margin of error. I mean, it's definitely not unheard of to identify bones as one sex, and then have it end up being another. Especially considering some odd little details, like the shoe size being small.

[@UnicornSpoonie]

Thank you for the great content as always! I’d heard the sad second story but I actually hadn’t heard the first and I have seen or read about most American horrible fates. So kudos to you finding a new one for me!! I’m always excited when someone can do that! 😀✌️💛

It's odd but some folk seem to have a desire to climb into chimneys and often die there. Possibly a fetish? This isn't the first story of a corpse found in a chimney

[@NyxOnyx96]

[@bluejediforce]

For the first story, maybe the visitor was a woman trying to get rid of a bad partner via chimney, or maybe she was trans and tried to commit suicide or something in a strange way??? Idk but I DEFINITELY think the visitor and the person who died are linked somehow. Either way that sound like a horrible way to go. You fall and break your lower body, basically, in a cramped space that's very hot but survivable, until one day a blast of boiling air kills you :(

[@poponachtschnecke]

I think it was organized crime.

[@NorthernRealmJackal]

Hey SI. Really appreciate the narration and research, and I'm always looking forward to the next upload. But many uploads have identical titles - have you considered numbering your many reoccurring video formats like you used to? It'd make it much easier to verify whether we've already watched a particularly video.

[@demo2823]

I'm going to suggest that the first person was a trans woman and that the guy giving her the tour was unaware. I know that the pelvis isn't a definite proof, I am actually someone with an unclear pelvic shape based on my xrays. But it would also explain why nobody reported her missing, because a lot of trans people have to deal with being disowned. She may also have been autistic, hence the fascination with the industry and the smokestacks and also the shyness, and autistic people have a higher than average rate of being trans. A lot of autistic people 'wander off' and end up sadly deceased in unusual places because they didn't recognize the danger. Drowning in a random lake after going missing is a common story.

[@amongdae]

Sounds like a reach tbh.

[@ettaetta439]

Does sound like a reach, and being autistic doesn't make you literally kill yourself from sheer lack of awareness about danger unless it's super severe for you, or you're a child. But we'll never know.

I don't understand why the police didn't check all airlines within the last 30 days of passengers who had booked a "to" and "from" destination ticket and never boarded to return.

The first story: the woman was with organized crime and wanted to take a look at the chimneys to make somebody disapear. Doesn't take Sherlock's brain for that one. Police are so bad sometimes lol

[@oskarprotzer3000]

why did you stop with numbering the episodes?

[@General_X]

Plot twist: the female visitor so interested in the chimneys in the first story put the male victim there ☠️

[@Roblyn2020]

I have great sympathy for the Bible family, but I will always question why they allowed their daughter to spend the night at the home of a known drug user who who was also known to be violent. This was in a small town where everyone knows everyone's business, so they knew what Ashley's home life was like. Yet they allowed their daughter to stay overnight in a remote trailer home with a violent drug abuser. Several times a year I drive by the Pizza Hut where Ashley's birthday party was that fateful night and I always say a prayer for the girls.

Immunity, $25k reward, lighter sentence (only 2 years served!!), in exchange for very little. They never even found their bodies. I was convinced that the police were involved. Maybe they set them up? Well, gruesome story!! Poor girls. 😢

[@candyd.4398]

I doubt the police set him up since several victims collaborated his story, but it’s insane how he got a lighter sentence considering he didn’t even help the case and he got out of prison after barely serving any time, smh. No justice for the victims, unfortunately.
