I was angry, embarrassed and upset with her.

To clarify, a LOT of trauma survivors tend to talk about abuse in a very detached, nonchalant way. It's a form of disassociation and/or because it's become so normal for them when it's a chronic issue. I'm a survivor of several traumas and have to work hard to not just casually trauma dump about SAs and emotional abuse because I've disassociated from it and it's just part of my reality. My mother was the one who emotionally abused me and, when it was happening, I talked about it in the same way as Rachelle. And most people didn't believe me because my mom seemed so sweet when other people were around. Not saying that's what happened in this case, but I wanted viewers to be aware that it's actually super common for traumatized people to speak like that about their trauma so they don't automatically write people off by their tone or way they tell the stories of their abuse.

[@jdsteppenzyde]

Thanks. Good point. And I’m sorry you went through such pain and misery.

[@Me-jg7uy]

I was thinking this cause I've had people with genuine trama just mention it casually. When it's in depth it's a lot more emotional but people do often trama dump casually.

[@mar-nyan]

Yeah, I genuinely feel like someone who manipulates an abuse survivor into committing murder so they can have sex with a child in peace is a much more dangerous person to society than the one who killed someone because they thought they’re saving a kid from a terrible abuser. Not that someone being able to murder a human isn’t terrifying on its own, but I feel like considering Brian thought he was doing a good thing and trying to help a fellow abuse survivor, he will be a much better person after rehabilitation than Jason.

I am not excusing Brian at all for what he did but I can, on some level, understand why he murdered Laurie and why he felt that he needed to. Idk if this is a thing or not, but I really wish that this had been taken into account, that he’d been manipulated so much as to murder her. *Still doesn’t excuse what he did* but… idk I feel like if it isn’t a thing already, I think it might be worth looking into and researching if there are new laws or punishments that can be given to people like Brian, who only acted because he had been so manipulated on top of having his past trauma of abuse which would’ve fed into his reasoning.

This is a great case to illustrate a very common parenting mistake. Although most people think that being a teen just comes with arguments, as Eleanor said, but I see it as the way I experienced it, which is that when we are young, we usually believe that our parents & other adults know things, they have the experience, they raise us, etc, but when we reach our teens, we are constantly having our own thoughts & we begin to see the flaws in our families & adults, & then we decide if the adults are fallible, then why should we listen to them? Its a very immature perspective, but that's the core issue. And too many parents think the right action is to come down on their kid's interests, keep them home more, more religions, more rules. But if you just explore their interests with them, it isn't a conflict, you stay connected.

You are a 100% right I wish my family did this when they found out that my sister is Wiccan.

We're not devout we don't have a Bible house we can grow up hearing about stuff like that so I don't understand why everybody freak out. My great aunt on the other hand went out of the way to go to circle pagan stores ask questions get literature so she could learn about what my sister was learning about and I really wish more people would take that approach so your comment is a 100% right people need to to stop Freaking out when their children make a different decision to believe something different and just need to do their own research talk to their children and not demonize them for a belief.

I'd just like to say that as a survivor of abuse the "oh but they're so sweet they're not capable of abusing someone" is how abusers get away with it so often. Abusers typically aren't walking around bragging about hitting their kids, they hide it so they can keep doing it or they think it's a normal thing to do and everyone does it like that in the case of my relatives. People not believing a victim shouldn't be used as evidence that the abuse didn't happen. I grew up in this region of Alaska with abusive relatives and in and out of abusive relationships, this is how everyone talks about it. Everyone pretends it isn't happening and that whoevers being accused could never be capable of that. I grew up thinking abuse was normal because it was such a common thing that everyone my age had stories of "that time my mom locked me out of the house until morning in December" or "that time my parents beat me for being late to curfew" or whatever. It's easier to ignore it especially in these smaller isolated communities. Also I'm just going to say that I have never met an extremely religious person that didn't have some messed up parenting ideals. (by the way I don't think killing your parents or anything is okay at all but I think the abuse thing is a much more nuanced situation than "people didn't believe her and the abusers friends said she was nice so it couldn't have happened probably" that's all. this also isn't meant as hate at all I just feel like it was insufficiently discussed in this situation and I wanted to provide some insight as an ex mormon abuse victim from this area of Alaska yk?)

My friends came in & asked me to go to the movies right across the street. She let me go & gave me some money. From where she was she could see me through the big glass windows. But our cousin caught me crossing the road & went through his entire thing & took me home. My whole weekend was over. You know what our parents being like this ended up causing? My sister got pregnant her senior year in high school. She was dating the 30 year old DIVORCED son of a friend of our parents. He got fed up quick with my cousin so they never came in town, they went back to his place. That was in '85 & they're still together. But he molested me at 13 & raped me at 17. Nobody believed me. He raped the sister that let me go to the movies too but she never spoke up because they hadn't believed me. He's also cheated on her multiple times & she walked in on him. The way we were raised she doesn't have the self esteem nor courage to leave him. As for me? At 18 I was dating a 30 yr old man, married him at 19, we trapped me with a kid at 20. I didn't know until AFTER we were married that he was a 6 time convicted pedophile who was supposed register where he lived. All I knew was no matter where we moved he never changed his address on his license, it was his parents. That man hung me when I was pregnant & the neighbors saved me when they came running with shotguns. The parents lived on 1 side of us & their adult son was living on the other side of us. When they came at him they came from 2 different directions & he took off into the wood of the State park that butted up to our property. My parents forced me to go back to him so my baby wouldn't be born a bastard embarrassment for them like my sister's was. The abuse didn't stop & I didn't find out he was a convicted pedo until AFTER I had to take my then 15 month old to the ER after he molested her. The cops who came to the ER informed me of that. If you don't want your children to end up with predators don't raise them as easy prey. Barry used to love telling me my parents raised me to be the perfect prey. All he had to do was swoop in like my savior & rescue me from my overbearing parents. And it was so easy, all he had to do was make me feel save & protected. Buy me clothes that not only actually fit but for the 1st time in my life they were brand new & I got to go shopping for them. He didn't HAVE to treat me like a queen, he just had to treat me nice. Make me feel heard & validated for once in my life. My brother-in-law did the same damn thing with my sister. He KNEW how our parents were because he'd seen it for himself for years. The day he left his 1st wife he met my sisters outside of school & drove them home. That was exciting for both of them because they broke the rule of never riding home from school with a friend. Honestly even though he was after my oldest sister he had fun gaining the silence of all of us & it was extremely easy because of the way our overbearing parents had raised us. My ex-husband wasn't just a pedo, he's a diagnosed psychopath. He grew bored of me quickly because I was so submissive. Absolutely no fight in me. I was the perfect Biblical wife just like I was raised to be. He enjoyed being able to order me around but I learned to read him too quickly & anticipated what he was going to want. He grew tired of coming home to everything he liked after work all right there waiting for him at his chair. He made a fun game of shoving my head under water if I checked the crab pots off our deck at high tide. He did this so often that I had time to think about it between & eventually I stopped fighting & just laid still. Remember, he'd told me it was the fight he was after & I was too submissive. And honestly the other abuse was so bad by then that had he not pulled my head up I wouldn't have cared. He'd broken me. By that point I had endured an abusive childhood & and my prince charming who rescued me abused me too. He'd already started using our daughter as a pawn by then so I was well aware if he killed me his rich parents would get custody of her. He'd just drop her off there & move on to hunting his next victim. Oh and my middle sister? She ended up with a predator too but she met hers online playing WOW & he convinced her to move to Canada. She got pregnant & married to him within a year & as soon as the baby was born he refused to sponsor my sister anymore & had her kicked out of the country. He hid her baby at his mother's friends house where she couldn't find her before he started that fight. And when the cops came he used her reaction as proof that she was mental unstable & a danger to herself & their baby. Claimed that's WHY he had taken the baby someplace safe. Our little brother? He's the Golden Child who got to do anything he ever wanted & us girls had to literally pay for it all. His childhood was great, his adult life is military hero & IG perfect. You'd think we had different parents & you'd be right. Privilege & freedom came with a penis in our house & he was lucky enough to have one. As for the mother not seeming abusive & telling everyone how worried she was for her daughter? Yeah, our mother was just like that too. Dad was quiet but he was the enforcer. When mom beat us with whatever she had in her hand or her favorite, the coiled cord for the landlines phone dad would just kick us back into play if we ran to him for help. And DON'T raise your hand to mom to defend yourself. I made that mistake at 15 & before I could even hit her once he had me by the throat & was holding me above his head against the wall. ALL ofbour bruises came from our Bible Thumping mother & yup, some of them came from literally being thumped with the big ass family Bible. But on the few times we tried to tell she played that same damn "I'm just so scared for her" & she even had a favorite prop, 2 of my grandmother's Nitro pills she wore in a vial on a necklace. The whole time she was talking to friends, cops, guidance counselors & even doctors when we reported it at the ER she would play with this prop. Just because you don't SEE someone being abusive doesn't mean they aren't. The person they show YOU isn't who they are when they are home. Even her father admitted she had a lot of bruises, but her father NEVER said where they came from, just that she bruised easy. Where were these bruises? Did they resemble fingers digging into her arm or leg? My abusers avoided hitting in the face, how many bruises did she have on her head under her hair? How many could she hide with her clothes? I'm going to tell you word for word what my doctor told my mother when I had to get my physical & he found bruises all over me. "She bruises easy? How easy? Healthy children DON'T just bruise easy. Even active children who play contact sports don't bruise this easy. If she's bruising this easy I'm going to order blood work including leukemia testing" That was the last time I saw that doctor. I'm 48, 14 years ago I finally went no contact with my abusive toxic family. 10 years ago I was given the best gift ever. My mother was FINALLY diagnosed as a Malignant Narcissist with Histrionic Personality Disorder. I still don't talk to her but I now have the answer to why she abused us & validation for every time someone ever told me "I don't believe you. You're mother is so nice. She loves you & she's worried about you" No, she was only ever worried about absolute control & loved using the system to put us back in our place or as a threat that would put us back in our place. I'm not saying this girl is innocent or that her mother deserved to die. I'm saying we all only understand life based on our own experiences. And based on mine I can't give her controlling mother a free pass. I have questions most people wouldn't even think to ask.

[@ninahatendo6827]

Ah this one was a bit hard to listen to. I was in an abusive relationship for about 10 years and I would also talk about it in a similarly detached way. I'm not sure why that was my reaction but I understand now that it is a common way victims of abuse disassociate from the situation. Not many people believed me either because they only ever saw the person who was abusing me be nice and charismatic. It was only when we were alone that she would do anything abusive. Part of the reason it took me so long to leave that relationship was the fact that almost no one believed me and the few who did, insisted I must be exaggerating or misinterpreting her actions. I'm not saying that her mom abused her in this case, only that an abusive situation where everyone around insists abuse is not happening is possible. I'm sure that if my ex ever did murder me and the police asked friends and family about them, they would all say they saw no abuse and only a perfectly normal and happy relationship.

This reminds me a little about this girl I went to middle school with. You could look it up, her name is Jamie silvonek and her boyfriend was named Caleb Barnes. This happened when we were in 8th grade. I didn’t know her really but we were both into alternative music. I wore a ADTR shirt to school and one day in the lunch line she said she liked my shirt and that she’d seen the band in concert. Anyway, later that year my mom asked me after I showered one night if a knew a girl named Jamie Silvonek and I said “yes? Why?” And that’s when she and my older sister explained that Jamie was on the news because she and her much older bf, (21 or 22 and she was 14) had made a plan? She said she wanted her mom gone because her mom didn’t approve of them. (Obviously she wouldn’t. He was a grown man and she was 14.) Jamie told him in text “she needs to go” because her mom threatened to kick her out the house and she was angry. She had her bf stab her mother in the neck repeatedly in the car outside of their house and Jamie was in the car as well as it happened. She didn’t physically do it, but she was convicted of homicide and tampering with evidence. And it was her idea, and she was there… so. Yeah. It really ruined 8th grade for us.

[@sweetpotatofries99]

A big reason why so many kids don't say anything is that you become so disillusioned with adults that you lose all trust for them. I remember deciding that if my parents, their friends, and our church "leaders" weren't going to help me, that no adults could be trusted. Also, even if there were people who could help me, I couldn't tell who they were because my abusers acted like nice people, so there was no way for me to tell when the goodness was real.

[@allisonickes8173]

My friend was like this. Her mom was super sweet and nice to everyone even me, but my friend would show up with bruises some times limping even making nonchalant comments ect ect. Then one day my mom and I went over to pick her up for a game as i was walking to the door I herd screaming and what sounded like a slap, I waited for a few moment before knocking and when she answered it her mom opened it with a smile, invited me in and everything being so sweet and everything. So just because someone seems super sweet in front of people doesn't mean they will actually be like that behind closed doors. The only reason why people ended up believing her is cause I said something.

[@Alex-cw3rz]

The difference is, when her boyfriend spoke up and talked of her being hit by a baseball bat it was untrue, it was all true why did they have to make that up? Why is she arm in arm with her father as she leaves prison when he said she suffered zero abuse. And if it happened was complicit in something she thought could only be solved through k illing.

I was 14 when I started seeing a 21 year old. I went against my family hard. I ended up pregnant before I was 16 😥 I wish I had listened (tho I would never change my son he makes me super proud) Sadly I am going through similar with my younger kids dad,in a weird sickening way. He is 36 and he started a college course where he groomed and got with a 16/17 year old who also happens to have my sister's name. My sister past away 3 years ago 😥 I know I will probably get slapped with "So what it is legal at that age" but I am sorry,she is a child until she has lived her life a bit longer without an older man taking control of her life. I am so broken over this and he is no longer involved with his children as a result. I really hope that the poor child wakes up quicker than I did, she seems nice, one of my sons knows her,and she has her whole life ahead of her, she doesn't need to be stuck with an older man who has nothing to offer (lives with mum, can't keep a job and is no longer able to procreate) and is very very controlling and manipulative. I appreciate this may come across as tho I am bitter but I am not. I am in a relationship that is healthy and uplifting and for lack of a better word,normal, it's my boys I feel sorry for not myself 🥺 Don't know why I felt like I was safe enough to share this on a comment thread but this story brought up alot more of the story than I can actually share. I guess it speaks to how at home I feel listening to Eleanor, thanks again beautiful for letting us know the stories of all of the victims you have brought to our attention,keep up the good work lass 😘

As a 24 year old woman I can confirm I WOULD NEVER DATE A 16 YEAR OLD CHILD

[@houdiniyoung8533]

[@viiisworried]

​@houdiniyoung8533 the og comment was probably just to emphasise the gravity of the situation. The og commenter, as a 24 year old (the same as jason in the video) that she never even think of a 16 year old in that way whereas jason went full on relationship with one. they were trying to emphasise how disgusting and creepy this relationship was and how easily brain washed and manipulated teenagers ,or even younger, are.

[@14analuiza0]

In Brazil we have a similar case, it has movies about it. The girl's name is Suzanne Von Richthofen, her boyfriend and his cousin killed her father and mother. There are two movies: The girl who killed her parents and the boy who killed my parents, they show both perspectives of the girl's (who says that she is innocent) and the boyfriend's (who say that she made them kill her parents)

[@jaqsre]

while it’s horrible what Brian did, i can’t help but feel bad for him considering he was abused and wanted to save someone else from that. edit: i completely forgot he also had romantic relations with her. never mind no bad feelings remain 💀

[@allysilman1631]

He dated a child, he was also an abuser

[@alastairthefrog5319]

hes a pedophile. absolutely no amount of abuse will justify that he was in a relationship with a little girl. He deserves the worst for that alone.

[@JessMurgatroyd]

I went through this same thought process. If they weren't in a relationship, then he would seem lovely.

[@JazzHeartsong]

this is so off topic but i watched your older videos and i just love how you switched up your look! beautiful always you murder any look (pun intended) and before anyone assumes another meaning no shade at all to your previous look, just amazes me how you are always stunning with totally different makeup styles

[@mlcxqz]

Ok ok but I used to talk very nonchalantly abt my moms abuse all the time, especially when I was younger, because it was so common for me. My dad didn’t do anything abt it cos my mom was such a good liar. But it all came out eventually, I’m sad for Rochelle if she rlly was abused and was accused of lying 🥺💔

[@akiraor]

honestly, the abuse segment of this story really hits hard for me, the nonchalance of mentioning abuse is due to the detachment of it. I was physically and mentally abused as a teenager by my parents, when I did mention it it was so normal to me it would just be a passing comment. I was never worried about telling the police due to being scared of other consequences, having my home life disrupted even more etc… and the fact no one believes her breaks my heart because i understand so much about how not every trauma survivor is a blubbering mess and how some are so dissociated from the trauma that they can’t emotionally react to it. And the dad excusing all the bruises, ‘she bruises easily’ is exactly what my parents would say when questioned about me, it’s so suspicious and genuinely sad, it doesn’t excuse her actions at all, but i had empathy for the fact claims of abuse were just cast outside due to the mum seemingly being too nice to do anything.

[@ayybibi]

i am so sorry you had to go through something like that, i hope you have atleast found a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. 🤍

If you want another case in Alaska, one that I haven’t seen anyone talk about yet, is the 2019 solved cold case of Sophie Surgie. She was murdered in the bathroom of a dorm at UAF (university of Alaska Fairbanks) in the 90’s and was solved in 2019. ❤

[@mandyb2245]

There are many reasons I've decided to never have kids. Watching this video, I just thought of another one. I have ADD, which comes with something called RSD, which stands for Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria. It means insults hit harder than they would most other people. For example, if I had a kid and in their teen years my kid decided they hated me, it would kill me. If they not only told me, but told the whole world via the internet that they really hated me, it would utterly destroy me.

[@etherealbeauty1422]

My daughter has RSD she can joke around but once a little joke about her is said she takes it straight to heart I wish she'd loosen up a little she needs to know that's how faimly and friends are they joke like I'll be giving her a haircut and dad will be like ohhh is someone getting a bowl cut 😂 and I'll make a chop chop noise we laugh...not her SHE FLIPS SHIT cries says her hair is gonna look bad even though she gets the same cut every time 🤦‍♀️ I have it sometimes it depends on my mood 😂

@@etherealbeauty1422 that's unfortunate. I hope she gets better, the hormones raging probably don't help that. I'm someone who cries easily as well (although there's no diagnosis I'm just sensitive that way) and hoenstly in cases like these I think you have to learn or develop coping mechanisms. Itd be nice if that weren't necessary, but it is. And it sounds an awful lot like "just get over it", but tbh sometimes I think that's good advice 🤷

I just love how you seem more comfortable around the camera, you seem more confident in the way you talk and your appearance, I've watched you for quite a long time now and I've watched you ever since you wore a heck ton of makeup and don't get me wrong you look pretty with makeup, but you're so much prettier without it. You're happier, and I'm glad to see you happier Eleanor. :]

Rachelle claimed in the interview her mother once hit her with a baseball bat, and had pushed her down the stairs once. But she kept insisting the two men had offered to kill Lauri, and she had turned them down. Eventually, though, she finally confessed and admitted the abuse was "pretty much lies," Claus said. "My whole family is going to hate me," she cried in the tape. - found when searching up about her whereabouts

[@RayF6126]

No, the nonchalant thing is a survival mechanism, and most battered women take 7 times of temporary tries to leave before leaving permanently, and most emotional abuse isn't seen. Rachelle might have lied but this behaviors are unfortunately not reasons to doubt Rachelle.

This case reminds me of the Richardson family. It was a similar motive where the the daughter wanted to be with her 22-year-old boyfriend and due to the age gap, of course her parents wouldn't approve. She not only killed her parents but also her younger brother. It's a really sad case. Her boyfriend killed her parents and she was the one who killed her brother. I don't remember if she's still in prison but I think she got out. But I don't know. I think she deserves more time because in a way she was telling her "boyfriend" to kill her mother because of how abusive she was when it's unknown if the allegations were real. I can't believe she only got three years. The justice system is a mess.

[@Mossdropp]

Eleanor has done a video on that case!

[@erinderrick6783]

I agree. I just dont understand if she was abusing you and the police asked about your relationship. Why lie and say it was "normal" mother daughter relationship. So yeah I feel like she lied to her friends and her boyfriend to get her mom out of her business for good.
