Bryce giving away things like his Xbox to his friend, is significant. Often, people who are going to commit suicide give away items to friends and family before doing so. Him taking all that time to go home was likely because he was going back and forth about killing himself.

[@kimberlymandera7672]

Well said

[@bunnyfunny5172]

😮

[@Texaslife98]

100%. I’ve seen and studied people with suicidal ideations and they often seem quiet, conflicted and their behaviors may be a bit erratic (not in an obvious or overt way)

[@iulia.bianca.b]

Ok... But where's his body? It's not like he could've hidden himself after he did it. They dredged the pond. They searched near the car. How does he off himself then hides? Or how did he plan it so meticulously that he would never been found? This case, Maura Murray and every other case where s*icide is suspected, but no body is found never sits well with me.

[@dont-call-me-et-al]

Hannah Upp is the person/case I always reference when explaining the baffling existence of the disorder currently known as Dissociative Fugue. Like, truly nobody knows how or why, but usually they disappear/reappear in/near bodies of water. Fugue sufferers often have "traveled" extremely large distances with zero memory/recollection of whatever they did following their disappearance. Steven Kubacki comes to mind as the other extremely odd case of what was very likely an episode of extreme Dissociative Fugue. For all we know about this disorder - we know basically nothing except for the fact that it exists. This has got to be one of, if not THE strangest mental illnesses/disorders that we currently know of, imo.

[@smalltowngirlbigcityheart3724]

Very interesting!! I didn’t know it existed!

[@patchi6384]

Was thinking of this too!

[@agostinodublino1387]

I'm baffled by the fact that in USA a person showing clear signs of psychic problems is repeatedly nominate to take care of children?! What if she had an episode during the class, or a trip, or if she became dangerous not only for herself like when she was in the bay? ..maybe an office job in the school was better for her?

[@truuvision678]

​@agostinodublino1387 sometimes it comes down to testimonials. If people around and close to them are clueless, ignorant or just plain "simple" it could cause a lot of wrecklesness in their decision making about said person having this mental illness.

[@ScoopDogg]

What triggers a fugue state? Fugue states appear suddenly and spontaneously. They are usually caused by severe trauma, including childhood abuse, rape or sexual assault, severe car accidents or other types of accidents, natural disasters, exposure to military combat, torture, and genocide.

When people start giving away possessions like Bryce did, that's potentially a huge red flag that a person is preparing to kill themselves.

[@iulia.bianca.b]

Where's his body? How does one meticulously plan their end with no body being ever found? They dredged the pond. They searched everywhere. It's almost impossible that a stationary body is never ever uncovered. Unless he had another vehicle to drive and did it miles away. But it's not likely.

[@GoldenBoots77]

When I was little , around 8 years old, my brother (9 at the time, we also shared a room ) used to bully me and make fun of me so bad that I also prepared a little bag with my things and had decided to leave . My parents never thought my brother was a bully , they just saw it as “kids being kids” , but I was determined to walk away if he was mean to me again , and in fact I did but I was found ten minutes later . Had I gone missing , and had my parents been asked if home life was good , they would have said absolutely, without knowing how I really felt on the inside . Perhaps something similar happened to Aisha , except that this time something really bad happened to her after she left . I’m not saying this was the case but she sounds like a very sensitive child , and maybe something minor affected her more than what her parents knew or she let show . Poor baby .

[@alekhidell3644]

Yes. And it needn't have even been something major. To a nine-year-old's mind, what adults would see as trivial might have been crushing to her.

[@cierrakain6844]

As soon as I heard that she shared a room with her older brother in a very religious household, I thought the same thing. Poor baby.

[@thresagraham8181]

[@AletheAce]

Yup, it could even be that she was abused by her brother or father and decided to just get away from it all.

[@aliciaforsey9759]

I instantly thought S abuse from brother as soon as i heard 'shared a bedroom' tbh. I know things to a 9 year old that are major can be trivial to an adult but I still feel it was much worse than just trivial to us for that act of completing running away...🤔

[@haileybalmer9722]

I don’t want to cast any aspersions on Aisha’s family, but a ten year old girl scare of thunder and the dark packing a bag and running off into a thunderstorm at midnight reminds me of a lot of very familiar stories.

She sounds like she was definitely mentally ill and something about that time of year spun her into some kind of psychosis or episode of mania possibly. Very bizarre but even I have trouble with the changing of the seasons and fall is always my hardest time of the year- that and when we transition to winter also. I get super depressed and want to stay in bed for days and let the world go on without me for awhile. Nothing as serious as what she went through but it is very hard on me and my family when I go into those depressive episodes and just want the world to be put on pause for me.

[@sarahmarie8853]

That's what I was already thinking when he said she had been seen walking around like normal but then didn't remember anything. And then when he said the disappearances all happened around the same time of year it made me think that's probably it. I wonder if it wasn't necessarily the stress but some traumatic event that her brain dissociated around certain anniversaries of to keep her from remembering it or getting too upset by. I'm sure the stress made it worse though. Like if the stress of starting a new teaching job or the hurricane was too much on top of the stress of the anniversary then the brain would just be like "nope, not this year". Could have also been why she seemed "robotic" the last time; She wasn't giving one-word answers cuz she was already having the problem but because those were her natural sad emotions anyway towards whatever event made her upset every year so her mind was too preoccupied to talk to anyone

[@lilyt18]

[@trelard]

I was about to type pretty much this.

[@mommy2libras]

No, that's not how it happened. I was FB friends with people who knew the family so I started getting posts about it pretty much immediately. My sister went to elementary school with Britney's aunt Wendy, the one who was married to Donnie, and was friends with her on FB though they hadn't spoken in many years and we didn't really know any of them personally. Posts about Britney being missing were started well before Donnie was found and after the rest started coming out, the assumption was that he had killed Britney (how he came to have her gun or that maybe he'd had it awhile. She'd bought it for herself but it wouldn't have been out of the question for her to keep it at their place or in his vehicle) and then later either shot himself (the gunshot was behind his ear, not really on the back of his head) or his wife had shot him. This was because he had an appointment to talk to police just like a half hour later about all the shit they had been doing. As far as I know, not one person ever thought she killed him- not friends or family, not strangers on the internet, not police. It is believed, though, that it's possible she went to police herself about the lifetime of abuse (all the young generation had been a used sexually since childhood by the older ones and they were all late teens/early 20s by then) because he or some of the others might have been trying to get her daughter involved and she finally decided to spill. I'd like to point out that apparently this had started many, many years before, maybe even when Britney's aunts were kids. See, her aunt Wendy and Wendy's twin sister were adopted as kids- by the Holland family. Their son was Donnie and he was a good number of years older than the twins. My sister remembers Wendy as being "odd" but also that she got married as a young teen to Donnie, who she thinks was already at least in his late 20s by then, maybe a bit older. So the abuse started even before those women were adults and just kept going and spreading, dragging other people into it as they'd meet folks, have kids, etc. I know what people think of the part of the country I'm from but in reality, this was something that stood out as horrible to everyone because it's not something that is normal there (or anywhere, obviously but people seem to believe Alabama is incest from border to border. It isn't). And this was no backwoods, 1 stoplight town- this happened in the 3rd largest city in the state. But we're all still hoping to find Britney at some point. She, nor any of the others, deserved this shit.

Very strange about the photo of another girl.

[@susanhughan2198]

Amen 🙏🏼 Me too, I truly hope she’s found 💔 My first thought was that she was sleep walking, that’s why she took her bag & went out into the dark, stormy night.. I was a sleep walker at a very young age, my Mom thought she heard our front door open & close late one night, after hearing it again over an hour later she woke up my Dad & he heard our door close so he gets his hunting rifle, headed to our living room & as he held the rifle up, my Mom turned on the light & they both realized in that moment it was me… I only remember waking up the next morning wondering why I had dirty feet, my Mom explained what had happened the night before, she said she asked me where I’d been & I told her I was going to my friends house across the street to see if she could play~ I had No memory of any part of it, my Dad was completely shaken, even tho my sisters & I thought it was funny my Mom made it clear that my Dad almost shot me !! I was 8 years old! Luckily I outgrew sleep walking & my Mom put a chain on our front door high enough so I couldn’t reach it, the older I got the more I realized how scared it had made my parents (especially after I had my 1st child) I never found out if I’d actually been to my friends house, did I knock on their door?? Asha made me immediately think of sleep walking, especially her being afraid of the dark (plus it was storming) who knows if she thought she was going to a place she’s familiar with & did someone think she was “an intruder breaking in”?? Or like Mike said, an opportunity for someone who took her? I pray her family gets some information of what happened to her 🙏🏼💔

[@staciepringle9064]

This is honestly the first I’ve heard of it. My first impression is she was with an older girl. Maybe 10 years older or so. I was only a couple months older than her. I’m very familiar with childhood in the ‘90s. The picture found wasn’t likely from the ‘90s. The style is much more ‘80s. It was found with stuff believed to be Asha’s. Then the NKOTB sleep shirt. If Asha was born in 1990, NKOTB had well faded out of popularity by the time she would have fit that sleep shirt. That belonged to someone else. It could be argued that she was alone because she was the only one the driver saw, BUT she was terrified of the woods AND terrified of strangers. It would be totally plausible that whoever was with her chose to walk in the woods to stay hidden, but Asha didn’t want to walk in the woods because she was scared, so she walked on the side of the road. When she was approached, I don’t believe she just ran into the woods. I believe she ran TO SOMEBODY.

I can’t imagine how difficult that would be- the idea of having days, weeks, or months missing from your life with no idea of how and why is terrifying. That must be disturbing to no end. I have had a few instances of not remembering things - completely due to my own fault, so there’s very little comparison to your story there, but still. It alarmed me to no end to think that I had been walking around, functioning (mostly), making decisions and having conversations and not knowing about any of it afterwards. It was always a period of hours, and still disturbed me profoundly. I cannot imagine going missing for months and not knowing what caused it or where you were sleeping, how you were eating, who you were with, etc. for all that time. And I also can’t imagine how potentially upsetting it might be to then remember it after struggling with that.

@@tannerb1527 hmm.. I don’t know. The suggestion was that she had already packed a bag, since no one heard her do it. And while that’s certainly not definite, there was the person who reported her running off into the woods when they stopped. If true, that wouldn’t fit. I have done some pretty complex tasks while sleepwalking, but they’re mostly automatic type stuff - avoiding obstacles, closing doors, etc. The thing that disturbed me most about that one though was that her family had taught her to be so afraid of strangers. That, to me, fits in very well with an abusive dynamic - if you trust no one, there’s no one to tell. It’s not an uncommon tactic, and is often used on kids who are experiencing abuse specifically. It also creates an “us vs. them” mentality between the family and the world, which is effectively used against victims of abuse as well. I’m not saying there is zero reason to teach your kid stranger danger. I’m just saying it seems like a sketchy extreme. Who knows.

Especially considering that was the last place they were at before she disappeared, it sounds likely the abductor(s) went up to her that night and told her he would take her to the beach, Disneyland, shopping, or some other exciting place; and instructed her to meet him somewhere. The backpack was prolly unplanned (meaning he wasn’t expecting her to bring it), and once he noticed she brought it he knew he had to dispose of it. But he was scared that his DNA was on it, so he tried to make it look like it was someone else’s backpack by putting a different shirt in there with another kids picture so authorities would quickly rule it as being the kid in the photo’s backpack.

[@sv8765]

Bryce's case sounds like it was due to stimulant abuse (the Vyvanse he was taking), likely causing him not to sleep for days on end, which likely brought on delusions and paranoia, eventually possibly leading to psychosis. Could've crashed during the microsleep phases people that have stayed up for so long on stimulants get and possibly experienced drug-induced psychosis, may have wandered off believing he knew where he was or something. Really sad. It does explain his odd behavior leading up to all of this as well. Anyone have any other theories on his case?

Your theory seems likely. I think the only mystery surrounding Bryce, is where did he go/ where is his body?

[@kayleigh3648]

I do believe the drug induced psychosis for sure (also explains why he broke up w his gf and gave his brand new Xbox away). To me all the signs point to suicide and that he was hesitating & scared/nervous during the hours leading up, but eventually went through with it. I think the car crash was staged to make it look like he accidentally crashed & drowned, but he really went somewhere else to kill himself. I actually work in Buttonwillow (the town he was in before he disappeared), and wanted to point out that its barley even a town, its more of a rest stop area consisting of only a few gas stations surrounded by hundreds & thousands of miles of desert terrain and mountains. So if you were to walk away from the main road you would perish into the hot desert within a day or two, and would get eaten by a pack of coyotes or mountain lions. It’s a very odd choice of suicide method, but it is one that would work quickly as it gets well over 100 degrees out here, and no one could survive the heat without water for more than a day or two. He either died from the heat then got eaten by animals, or just straight up got eaten alive. Either way, very sad.

​​@@Aleyaha699amphetamines affect people with ADHD very differently compared to people without ADHD. It speeds most people up, but it slows ADHD people down. Caffeine does the same as well.

[@amylondon36]

I think he got phycosis or something and couldent cope the whole scent to the truck stop makes me feel he staged his death so he could run away and start a new life because he wasent thinking straight on the medication he was on

[@forgetmenotjem1147]

The little 9yr old girl Asha's story has always intrigued me as it's so weird. Just can't think of any reason what would have compelled a child with no worries to run away

[@mellier7762]

I know, initially I thought is she sleep walking but that theory was blown out of the water pretty quickly. Someone was involved, a 9 year old just doesn't go missing like that.

[@jimpanze5026]

i bet it was here parents. its always the parents... sightings are often wrong (of course just my own little theory)

[@bluejeans5770]

Same!! She comes into my mind from time to time and I'm creeped out by this story. The idea that a small child walks alone in the middle of the night never to be seen again is heart breaking...

[@winterwoodcottage3657]

This one haunts me as well. My daughter is nine and I can't imagine her keeping secret this midnight adventure. The police thought that she might have left to meet someone. What would entice a nine year old to go out into a dark and stormy night, carrying possessions that only a nine year old would give importance to.

[@louiseb3491]

I’d say someone was grooming her unbeknownst to her family, told her to meet him after dark

[@CR7suiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii7]

Love these compilations!!! When you put multiple stories together it’s soooo good

[@sherricabinaw7413]

Hi Mike, I wish you would have included my brother Jacob Cabinaw. Maybe next time. Great video! Thank you

[@charlene9651]

Yes please do part 3!! Love the way you tell these stories…your perspective, humor and respect make you my favorite storyteller 👍🏼👍🏼😎

[@sv8765]

Hey Mike, if you happen to read this, I just wanted to say how much I personally appreciate you and your dedication to creating content for us. You must be working all day and night to put out so much quality content at this rate, and I know that's gotta be tough, so... really appreciate it all, truly, and I know others must feel the same as your channel has grown an incredible amount since I found out about you a few years back.

[@wesleydarling968]

Yes. I totally agree. Well written sentiment..

[@itsjeninMass]

💯

[@chuckdontjudge]

Oooh wee the head on that father in story #2😂😂😂

[@charleswest5935]

Mike your warming even saying cold stories. It's comforting knowing someone else feels shocked by this evil. We love you too man. You make me glad to have Irish blood. Your talented.

[@lindseyhudson1274]

I've been bothered by Asha's disappearance for a long time. I have a theory (well two versions of one theory) on what happened to her. It revolves around the photo of the other little girl found with her stuff. I think Asha was made to think that the other little girl was her pen pal. When I had pen pals we would send each other our school photos. Now this could be a real child or an adult posing as a child. Also, if it was a real child, the child could have a parent who was an abuser or an offender. I think Asha thought she was going to help another child and they had a meeting spot picked out. When Asha got there, it wasn't a child but an adult and they took her and probably killed her.

[@addiegraves3]

Imo. You're on the money! I would like to kindly recommend scearching Det. Ken Mains on TY his take on her case. It's interesting to see how a cold case Det. takes possibilities of what might have happened and eliminates them into Probabilities based off the victim, evidence at hand ect.

[@charliek2077]

Wouldn't her parents know if she had a pen pal? (As she would be receiving letters)?

[@kayleigh3648]

It could be that, or that the killer put the picture there to throw the investigators off (to make them think it was another kids backpack so they wont test it for DNA). Also explains the unknown shirt… Looks like someone was trying to stage the scene to make it look like the backpack wasn’t hers. That, or the backpack wasn’t actually hers. This was back in 2000, they didn’t have a wide selection of backpacks back then. It was extremely common for ppl to have the same backpack, so its very possible it wasn’t even hers at all.

[@raylady01]

Scary

[@DonnaFallon-si2nc]

It was a man at the church

[@JJmystic]

Edit: I know you’ve covered hundreds even thousands of cases. I love this kind of format of like 5-7 random crazy dissapearance cases. You cover them way better than like any “Top 5 disappearances” From random KZbinrs. That Daniel robinson case is super weird. I do find that a psychotic break is plausible considering proof came out that he was stalking that girl. BUT the fact that forensics proved his car was moved after the initial crash into the ravine to look like that was the spot of the only crash. And that it was tried to be turned over like 30+ times. Just super bizarre

[@bean1998]

Really like this style of video for you. I'd never heard any of these stories and I said "wtf" out loud at least 3 times. Great job Mikey!

[@sarahc6357]

I have a family member who is a 911 dispatcher in Ontario, Canada. There were not only hoops and hurdles to jump through but also extensive training and testing. After seeing this video, I completely understand why it was all necessary.

[@ElSantoLuchador]

Armchair psychiatrist here. If Bryce was bipolar whether diagnosed or undiagnosed, popping adderall would skyrocket him into a manic state. Especially w/o mood stabilizers. As a bipolar myself, if I'm depressed I don't go anywhere. I was nearly catatonic when depressed. It's very physical. His would be mania. If he's suicidal it doesn't necessarily mean he's depressed. He's just in a mixed state which can contain both elements (dysphoric mania).

[@Friendofstfrank]

fellow professional here. Appreciate bringing up the bi-polar issue. Very few understand the disease or understand it is physical/neurological in nature.

[@NorthernGreenEyes]

Bingo. Happened to my ex. He nearly killed me by strangling me one night because I forgot to order him a sandwich. No joke. His idiotic nurse practitioner kept giving him large amounts of Adderall and he was clearly in the middle of one of the worst schizophrenic episodes in 16 years. I tried to help but now he's banned from coming anywhere near me or our kids via CPO and a judges order at sentencing. He only received probation for 2yrs, though. 🙄 Pisses me off but it's time for me to start my life over. Take care, ya'all.

[@martinemartin4779]

I'm from New Zealand and the Thomas Philiips case is one of the weirdest things we've encountered here. Really feel for those kids. It must have been a rough winter.

[@river8760]

I feel for the kids too, what a horrible “Dad.”

[@clairesx_xgoats]

Since the initial disappearance, there's nothing too mysterious about this now - he's just being a dick!

[@user-eh3zv1ex5o]

Yeah, this Philips guy.....nice farm.Nice House.Another case of "you can't fix stupid." Feel for the poor kids, out there, in the rough. Robbing banks ? Stealing a truck ?....may be he saw one Action movie too much.

[@michelledoms8400]

Kiwi here too. That man makes my blood boil, and his supporters too 😡

[@ILuv_soulsbOrne]

Is it common for people from New Zealand to go off into the bush. And just live out there?

[@melissimo.]

I've heard a few times now that remains were found when searching but they were not for the person who they were looking for. I always think.. Well who was that?! It would be interesting to make a video about other people discovered when searching for a missing person. 🤔

[@PlayLists-For-Everyone]

I LOVE the way you end one of the segments, pause for 2 seconds, and then resume the same segment but with a twist lol.... funny AND creepy ;)

[@vickil3256]

When I was 4 I used to sleepwalk & I actually walked right out of our townhouse & ran into kids playing flashlight tag (1971). These kids took me home to their house & I don’t remember anything except waking up & they were trying to give me Cheerios. I just screamed,”I want my mom.” I was right next door.

[@absinthemindedJ]

I want to know who the hell was that in the photo?

[@toonced]

Thank you for covering the disappearance of Daniel Robinson, missing in the Arizona desert. I pray that he is found soon. ❤

[@millster9389]

This was a great episode! Can you do more of these disappearance shows in the future? That would be great! Thank you.

[@alexlightcap3184]

Part 3 please! These are always so fascinating

[@murryme]

Daniel Robinson's case is particularly of interest to me as I live in the Sonoran desert. I am so baffled at what could have happened to him that they haven't found his remains yet. I know the desert is huge, but there's only so far someone can make it without a car out there.

[@absinthemindedJ]

I follow his dad on youtube.

[@deborahmahon5451]

And why did he leave his boots?

[@VioletJoy]

​@@deborahmahon5451He was likely not in his right mind.
