Someone saw a woman being forced into a vehicle against her will, screaming, and the guy starting screaming threats at the witness, but they didn't think to call the cops for another few days? If you see something, say something, people. Screaming and threats and strange cars merit an immediate call to the police.

[@mariatorres9789]

A guy blocked my exit on a hiking trail with his vehicle, & sat there 6 minutes staring at me, waiting for me to get out & ask him to move. Then, he flipped me off, drove by really slow, sped up & turned around quick & pulled up next to my vehicle as I tried to leave, & was trying to talk to me. I called the cops, & they didn't do anything at all. Nothing, didn't even take his plate that I got. Cops don't do anything, until AFTER something happens.

[@Tracy-hm3yi]

@@mariatorres9789wow that is awful.

[@jar5520]

When I was a teenager my friends and I witnessed the same thing happened. We were parked and eating our food from a popular place thats opened very late. We saw a girl getting snatched by two guys, getting shoved in the car while screaming her lungs out. We immediately called 911 and gave the operator the description of the car, color, license plate and locations. We tailed right behind them speeding heavily until they took a very sharp turn and went down another block. I'm not sure of the outcome of what happened that night, but I hope she's ok.

[@melinda3413]

Dude was rich. He was shaking people down for 100k. 600$ in tips wasn't necessary. He must have been looking for something else or sending a message of some kind. She was his girlfriends best friend. She probably told the girlfriend he was trouble or something, he found out she said that and send a message... funny thats how he ended up getting life in prison though.

Thanks Mike for covering Cindy Song! I lived in State College for 25 years, during the time Cindy disappeared. Her poor Korean family had to come over here and never learned what happened. It’s terrible that they never found her killer definitively. It was Halloween weekend when it happened, she went home and than left according to the paper. There was a Giant supermarket across the street from where she lived, but it was cold that night, sad all around.

Hugo is a very manipulative, scary guy, and to be sure if he ever gets out of jail, he will kill more people.

[@JohnRiversOfficial]

I'm an ER doctor. You might be surprised at how often paramedics or other medical professionals either think someone is dead when they aren't or don't notice that the patient died / stopped breathing while standing right next to them. There are various errors that contribute to this, but the two most common is a phenomena known as "anchoring bias" and "confirmation bias". Anchoring bias is a tendency to rely heavily on the first piece of information you hear. Confirmation bias is the tendency to see new information as consistent with and supportive of what you already believe to be true. It works like this. Someone is severely injured or is near death from a medical condition. A bystander calls 911 and says "I found a dead body" or "there was a motorcycle accident... ughhh... this guy is dead." The information is relayed to emergency services, who then expect to see a dead person. When they arrive, they look at the victim. Maybe he is covered in blood or has grievous injuries or appears not to be breathing. There might be some subtle signs that the victim is not dead, but these are overlooked (if he is dead, why is he still bleeding) or discounted (did I just feel a very weak pulse there? No, I think that was just my own pulse). It is very important to follow your usual procedures and to make your own independent assessments every single time. Have you ever noticed that when at doctor's office or ER, you get asked the same questions 4 times by 4 different people? Many patients see this as a sign of disorganization and get frustrated by it. The fact of the matter is that I do know what the secretary / nurse / referring physician says is going on, but I'm asking you anyway for a specific reason. Oh, and wear a seatbelt / helmet!

[@melissal9844]

I'm not sure why this has any relevance to this story. These ppl were buried....the other ppl who weren't mentioned in this video were either not found at all or part of their skull was found proving their demise. This man is a complete monster who created snuff films for fun.

[@jillijane9793]

​@@melissal9844whatever, it is still good advice and maybe if you are the victim laying on the ground alive, but everyone thinks you aren't but you are aware and can't speak, maybe you will think back and say to yourself wow, I wish I wasn't such a b*tch back then when the Dr was just trying to explain something to prevent a death as everyone walks over you saying how sad for 10 minutes before you take your last breath...

He thinks he's not a monster.... he is a monster

[@lakeshoreshepherds741]

How did he get let go the first time?? Damn DA! How stupid was that.? Now 2 more got murdered. He had the BeIls to say he wants to know why all those bodies are buried on his property~ really? He thinks we are all stoopid

[@Megan-mr8ue]

I'm from that area and when he escaped the Luzerne county prison, I was so scared bc I lived 10 min away from there. The whole thing was crazy

[@katfacekiller8680]

I remember when he broke out, i was stuck in my car for 2 hours while the went from car to car searching for him. It was a crazy time.

[@Sandra.Sandy.Robinson]

Usually, when one of these says "the serial killer you've never heard of". I have heard of them. Not this time, though. What a terrible person. Look at how arrogantly he looks at the cameras. He makes my skin crawl. May he rot in prison for the safety of the rest of us.

Hi MIKE!! Boise girl here!! Thank you always for your hard work!! I really enjoy your videos...although I need more 'Life Insurance'!!! HAHAHAHA!! I started watching you when I found out I had pancreatic cancer. KZbinrs were my best friends!!! You helped me get through the hardest time in my life and now, I am opening up my own formal wear shop!!! I am so excited! So thank you for being here for me. You are my comfort food...or as Jim Gaffigan says: 'McDonald's'...... I am watching your video now so let's 'Give it a goo!'
