Serial Killer or Serial Confessor? Gerald Stano | Mystery & Makeup | GRWM | Bailey Sarian

[@hopeiumm]

I think providing backstories reminds us that these “monsters” were once every day people, just like us. It makes us face the reality that people are capable of such terrible acts instead of sensationalizing them and writing them off as different from society. Stay safe out there friends!

[@pennieplatinum2767]

Well said!

[@idaborgelt8751]

Well said, I think the same 👍🏽

[@coffeegirl18]

I like the idea that sometimes it's preventable and some of the older crimes wouldn't happen now. I've been watching a lot of Mindhunter on Netflix.

[@duckieeeortiz3704]

Exactly!!! I think a lot of these crimes could have been prevented had they gotten the help they needed or even just had people that actually cared about them.

[@Coleyclaudette1]

There is a book about the lives of the Jack the Ripper's victims. "Jack" only gets a mention. It is all about the women's backgrounds. I definitely want to read it. A friend of mine read it and loved it.

[@LykaLLaude]

I agree! It is very vital for me because I want to know what kind of person they were before commiting the said crime. You know kinda comprehending and understanding why, what and where his/her upbringing. I want to know what they were thinking before doing the crime. Just being curious

[@Casamigostookmyfriends]

Yes! Who the heck has problems with these back stories?! Everything gives a backstory when it’s crime related. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Having no backstory would be like opening your history book in school and it saying, “World War 2. It happened.” Backstories are necessary.

This is why criminal psychologists exist. This is what I'm studying. Part of it is trying to find out if there's a way to cure it, stop it before it gets to that point, and learning how to better treat children so that we have less killers. And part of it is simply understanding human behaviour.

[@Itsjustrachie]

When Bailey talks about the background of these killers she’s going into their up bringing and what shaped them to be what they became. If you just want gore and drama, there are plenty of movies and shows that provide that. Stop hating on Bailey. Thanks 🙂🙄

[@nurahsplaylists]

"The police were wondering why he had never gotten caught. He was pretty sloppy." Well, after listening to both Bailey and Brittney tell these true crime cases, A LOT of these police seem to be pretty incompetent. Not asking follow up questions, not getting evidence, allowing people in a crime scene and then it gets contaminated, flat out refuse to listen to a witness and say they are making things up for attention (this happened in the kidnapping case of the girl who was walked out of her family home and her sister, who was in bed with her sister pretending to be asleep when her older sister got kidnapped, told the police what she remembered about the kidnapper and they refused to believe her.🙄

Not talking about the back story doesn’t make any sense, especially when it comes to true crime. The back story is EVERYTHING, and it is important to research how/what led to killer’s behavior, motive, and psyche. And just because Bailey does research on the back story and talks about doesn’t mean she is using it to justify what they did. I just find it weird that people are complaining about her discussing the back story, like I can’t think of any true crime/ mystery podcast or shows that doesn’t do that.

If you REALLY get a Lot of comments bothering you about this, maybe give a time stamp to when the description of the crimes happens? Personally, the backstory is extremely important and interesting

Troubling. When you mentioned the broken thigh bone, I thought, would he have really known that in the middle of a frenzied attack? We will never know the truth. And those victims’ families will never be able to know what really happened. It is so unfair. P.S. You nailed it on Schenectady! Please keep doing the back stories!!!

it is extremely hard to break a thigh bone,, but it could probably be easy to tell if she tries to walk because even just bruising your femur (thigh bone) is incredibly painful (I learned this from experience) so I'm sure he probably heard the bone break because it's the like the strongest (or one of the strongest) bones in our body or he could simply see the way the skin & woman reacted

[@janis4292]

The killers backstories are the best part of this kinds of videos! Keep going and stay safe our Bailey♡

[@bunnipop1867]

I personally love when you tell the backstory. I also want to say that empathizing with someones situation doesn't mean you or anyone else are siding with them or saying that their childhood was a legitimate reason for the terror they steam rolled onto the world. You can empathize with someones upbringing and still condemn their actions :/ the world is not black and white, the world is all kinds of shades of gray.

[@ItsJess1799]

Yes! Love the way you put it

[@sadoldnerd]

Bailey, you NEED to talk about Elan School. It’s a cult where people send their kids to go to “school”, but it’s actually a system to brutalize and torture them. I don’t think the parents knew how bad things were, though. I had NO IDEA what this was until today(thank you, Reddit) This cult needs to be talked about more. There’s a comic made by Joe Nobody about this, I recommend reading it :) Also, think this would be a great topic for you, since you don’t really like talking about very popular and mainstream things. (And yes, I did post this on another video, but I want awareness to be spread because this type of stuff still happens today!)

[@diasy8710]

Yessss

[@Darklink-hv9kn]

Please!!

[@jessiehermit9503]

Bailey is religious. I'm not sure if she'll do too much of the organized religion-type stuff. I mean, I know she's done some, but I don't know... Try Telltale or even Aronra or Jimmy Snow. So of those guys have interests _specifically_ in cults and the problems of organized religion.

Your show! Run it your way. Running it your way is why you are successful. The backstory I believe makes the story.

[@rahima2084]

yes i look forward to this every week

[@prabhag3722]

Me too! 😤☺️

[@alyssaohlrogge1117]

Rahima sameeeee 💕😂😂

[@richamillebuenaventura1990]

rather than editing out the part where she had brocolli on her teeth, she still included it in the video. the queen of being real to her audience!

[@caseyayotte104]

YASSS BE REAL

[@ninabredice4686]

I loved this! Even if she misspoke she doesn’t take it out

[@louisejohnson6767]

That's what I thought. It would have been so easy for to do it. Even if she had edited it out, I can see her breaking down in laughter and telling all of us about it.

[@mickeym247]

I want to like this comment but it’s at 555 ✨

This is why I love her. She's so human and beautifully imperfect and I'm in love with it.

[@katieaf]

I recommend diving into the story of Joe Ball. “The Alligator Man”, “The Butcher of Elmendorf”, he has a few pop culture references as well. I think there was an episode of Bones based off him and a Tobe Hooper movie.

[@_Fizel_]

Season 8, episode 5. The Method and the Madness.

[@rmichelle3889]

Elmendorf? That sounds like a word that belongs in Harry Potter 😆

[@StonerOfGotham]

I think she did?

[@_Fizel_]

@@StonerOfGotham I think she mentioned it in the movie based on crime videos. The movie 'Eaten Alive' was based off it. I forgot to mention that in my original reply.

[@dlisaduncan5650]

Hey Bales! Super appreciative of the fact that you actually take time out for the told/ yet untold stories of the people who are not only damaged but disturbed early on for the rest of us. I absolutely do not think that you condone nor encourage the stories you tell but I am grateful for you telling these stories and giving a voice to the history of the beginnings of the debauchery. Your makeup is always flawless and not easy to duplicate

[@kylabella05]

I NEED the back stories otherwise I just go and search it myself! Bailey don’t listen to people just keep doing what you do, cause you’re phenomenal 🔥❤️

[@itsholiana3957]

Im glad that the top comments really love the backstories that bailey does cause I FEEL THE SAME WAY AND I DONT WANT BAILEY TO CHANGE AND I HOPE THE NEW SUBSCRIBERS UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS THE THING AND IF YOU DONT LIKE IT THEN GO CHECK OTHER OFFICIAL FIVE MINUTE MYSTERY VIDEOS

[@khris_goodman]

HEY BAILEY!!! I JUST READ ABOUT A MAN WHO KILLED HIS WIFE IN HIS SLEEP. HIS NAME IS SCOTT FALATER. THIS IS IN MY PSYCHOLOGY BOOK. PLEASE LOOK INTO IT AS HIS PARENTS SAID HE SUFFERED FROM SLEEPWALKING GROWING UP AND DID NOT HAVE A BAD RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS WIFE. sorry for all caps, I was just super stoked to be able to make a suggestion!

[@theonlytrashcanintrench907]

WOW that sounds really interesting

[@breiversen9187]

Watch crime after crime episode 2. It’s about sleepwalkers and I think they mention him! It’s Danelle Hallen and John Lordan

[@morgantarver1649]

I wanna hear this!

[@alyssar2742]

I work in sleep and this was a case that they discussed at a sleep conference. Pretty interesting stuff!

[@khris_goodman]

Alyssa Ramos I sounded very interesting when I read about it in psychology. I definitely want to hear her take on it

[@diannamendez8193]

The back stories is what has me invested! Its like your reading a book aloud and I love it! Keep it up bailey!!

[@mkaarenn5505]

DAY 1 TRYING TO CONVINCE BAILEYYYYY TO COVER "THE 43 MISSING STUDENTS " IN MEXICO!!!!!!

[@psychedelicyeti6053]

But honestly students are always going missing in mexico. Like the student massacres of 1968 and 1971.

[@iihabii]

YES

[@prettylittleFAN201]

YESSSS

[@tecumsehcristero]

The police totally did it.

[@ashleighboone3685]

Omgosh yes

[@nicolemarie3645]

He sounds like the kind of guy who would call himself a “nice guy” and would complain that women never like “nice guys like him”

[@kassidie8293]

The amount of guys that do this is staggering.

[@britneyrobles3867]

Ugh those guys are the worst

[@thatobaloyi6194]

They're called incels

[@daisymay6505]

And people wonder why I can’t stand most men lol 😆

[@Ugaduga24]

Honestly I love the backstories for the exact reason you said. It’s easy to judge someone on what they did but it helps me make a little more sense of how they got to that point. I love listening to crime stories, but I love the personality and just an overall twist to your videos, I love the uniqueness of your content! Keep up the great work! I literally look forward to these videos every Monday 😂

[@kimmcneill815]

Same!

[@morgantinker1459]

The back story is such a huge part of the story. I love your channel!

[@binxosaurus]

"My liner wasn't supposed to be this big, but this is what I am now" is heckin relatable.

[@janeseraeromero4276]

Ever since Amy Winehouse I’ve learned that winged eye liner can never be too thick lol

[@defensemechanismm4115]

😆 yup

[@luluslay6798]

That cracked me up

[@naranciaghirga1809]

Who doesn’t like the back story?!?! That’s my favorite part!!!

[@victoriaaaaa9971]

SAME!

[@staceyleenagavard7051]

Mine too!!

[@jocelynknapp8087]

Rightttt

[@lauranunes8519]

Right?!?!? It’s my favourite part too!!

[@lydia5250]

Right!?!?

[@libbymund2455]

The back story is the best part Bailey is basically giving you the whole life from start to end just like a story line 👍

[@jadestender2310]

100% agreed

[@lindyengelbrecht3993]

Please do not stop with the back stories, I love how it makes me aware of what circumstances can have what effect on a growing child. You are awesome Bailey. Love your content❤

[@sarcanumo2613]

friend: why are you checking your notifications like crazy? me: you wouldn't understand.

[@MaddMaddox77]

"It's me I showed up" is how I feel every time I log in to my online classes.

[@rykersmimi]

[@2005teetheater]

[@Karen-id2ho]

Girl mood

[@Jim-gz4wo]

LOL

[@laughingcorrpseholly4136]

I love the backstories! It’s really interesting to me to know the backgrounds and sorta how they ended up the way that they are. I mean, the backstories definitely give the whole case more depth and it helps you get immersed into the story more, imo.

[@Babycoco160]

English is not my native language so I like to use your videos to "train my ear", the way you speak makes it so easy to fully uderstand what your saying even tho my english is not perfect So thank you Bailey ❤

[@pennieplatinum2767]

Your comment made me smile because I was reminded of tutoring a young woman from the Middle East several years ago. Her husband was in college and she wanted to learn English - so she watched soap operas! Lordy, but trying to explain to her that those shows were not about real people was almost too much. LoL

[@loulabellesjungle]

I struggle to get into true crime if there’s not a back story 😂, so I really like that you include it.

[@alleyhope9817]

I love that you give a backstory, I too think it's very important to get the full picture. Thank you for all the hard work and research you do for these videos. I look forward to every Monday to watch you. 🖤

[@spoilednlovingit]

I'm with you Bailey. I love hearing the back stories and trying to find out what's going on in their heads; what makes them do the things they do? Please never stop giving the back stories.

[@isabellajude8865]

I love how she gives details about the backstory

[@Paris16EiffelTower]

i can’t believe she’s almost at 1M 😭 been watching since 100K! also -the backstory is the best part! it makes it “make sense” if you get what i mean!

[@Laura-in5cz]

90% of the viewers: KEEP THE BACKSTORIES 10% of the viewers: actually talking and discussing the case

[@Puhding.]

90% of the viewers: Keep the Backstories! 9% of the viewers: Discussing the case 1% of the viewers: talking about the make up ** 🤣

[@angie1480]

what percentage are you tho :o

[@Laura-in5cz]

Fex you’re completely right 😂 but her makeup did look amazing!!

[@Laura-in5cz]

Angie I definitively believe that he backstories should be kept! I think they add to the storyline of these cases and add may explain what led the killers to do such things. Which one are you? 🤔

[@karenlesieur1692]

Keep doing your show however you want, it is your show, I love this show.
