The reason Coline didn't cry in the stand was because she learned to dissociate. It is one of the most common trauma responses. It shows you how complex the brain is in response to trauma and how adaptive the brain can be.

Right. It's funny how judgdmental people are when it comes to trauma responses that they don't understand

[@MeredithHammett]

@@MsHeather2013 most of those people just speak from a place of ignorance and the ones that understand the aforementioned comment, likely understand due to personal experience with extreme trauma.

As a survivor of Stockholm Syndrome, I am so appreciative of how compassionately you described it. My captor killed himself the week the investigation into him started, so thankfully I never had to face him in court. It’s been several months since I was freed and I still have nightmares about the two years I spent with him nearly every night. The healing process is so complex and difficult.

I once read about a science experiment with flies in a jar. Initially when placed in the jar, the flies tried tirelessly to escape. As time passed, their attempts became increasingly feeble. Eventually, the scientists removed the lid: none of the flies made any attempt to escape. While we are not flies- the brain is everything, and it is incredibly complicated.

[@madison8762]

[@LasPhoenix777]

it’s not always victim blaming when one asks “why didn’t they leave” It can be an attempt to understand. Just as the question “why did this guy do all these horrible things” is also an attempt to understand. Also, it seems everybody was asking both questions .

Aside from all the horrendous torture, to be locked inside of the tiny box without being able to use a bathroom like a regular person, sweating there during Cali hot summers laying in my own sweat and using a bad pan by sliding it underneath me and then probably spilling it all over….for MONTHS AND YEARS….I cannot believe this woman not only survived but also remained sane.

The reason a victim will talk about an experience with no emotions is bc it too is a trauma response and to get the information out of their mouths they have to literally dissociate from the feelings. I do this with my childhood trauma. But believe me I can be a mess about it when I am alone...

[@christinakern776]

I do this with a lot of my trauma. Like with a straight face, I can sit there and talk about my mother's death like I'm talking about the weather, but like you said behind closed doors, I'm a mess.

[@verysmexypancake]

This really hit me. I completely agree. I was abused as a child, and when I talk about it today, my normal reaction is to smile or laugh while I am talking about it. It’s weird. But it gives me the ability to address the issue without feeling too uncomfortable. On another note, thanks Bailey you are amaze. Also, we don’t know what went on with Janice. She seems like a thoroughly conflicted person. All in all, I am glad Colleen is safe. Janice is safe. And a monster is behind bars. And I hope it stays that way. Or better still, I hope he meets his Karma.

[@beautifuldreamer0811]

Also, once you have processed things, it becomes simply information and you no longer have emotions attached to the trauma.

[@StephanieKaminsky-wb9su]

Agreed. When I talk about mine, I can even joke about it. That is the only way I can get through it.

[@jennykonrath6011]

[@mikedrop4421]

I'm a dude who recently found this channel and I just like to say that I've seen other channels that do the makeup and story time bit and I couldn't care less about the makeup itself. I do however find the implications of it fascinating. By her applying makeup it acts as a way to pace the story and more importantly it makes it feel like a friend telling you a story and not a KZbinr reading a script. Bailey seems to be mostly just telling a story adlib from notes and not a script per say. Most importantly she actually starts with a clean face which makes her feel down to earth, honest and less intimidating. Everyone else I've seen do this type of video starts with a completely covered face that looks "natural" and then they apply another look over that. I've always hated that because it feels fake . I see why Bailey is considered the Queen of the genre

I read the book "Perfect Victim: The Girl in the Box" when I was like 17. It's about this whole horrible set of events. It was one of the 1st true crime stories that really stuck with me. The length of time they kept her. The fact it was a couple. The head box. The box under their bed she stayed in. The company. Everything. It is disturbing. The fact this is an actual true story & not an exaggerated B horror movie is terrifying. Cause honestly if someone was telling this you wouldn't believe it. That book messed me up. I am 36 now & still own a copy. I've read it twice It's so insane. It still sticks with me. I respect Colleen. So much. What a strong human being. Also I love you Bailey 🖤🖤🖤

My dad hitchhiked in the 70's. One time he was driving pickup a female hitchhiker and she just started talking about every detail of her life. My dad warned her and scared her about what could happen to her. She didn't know if he was a psychopath. I hope my dad's warning worked.

[@katherinebattle3780]

Men need to be safe, they can't just go hoping Into a woman's car

[@Saffron-sugar]

He could’ve just warned her, instead of trying to scare her. Seems unnecessary. The truth is that men are not safe hitchhiking either. I know there is this myth of the fragile female, and the infallible man, but men are not bulletproof or knife proof. I’m a woman who hitchhiked all over Ireland… (Not all over the US). I was aware there was a risk. And, although I wouldn’t recommend it to a daughter, I’m glad I took it. I don’t wanna live in fear because I’m female. I’ve fought my way out of situations before. We don’t have the same upper-body strength as many men, but a lot of our extreme weakness is psychological. We are told we are weak and we believe it. We don’t learn how to defend ourselves.

[@angiejones7702]

@@Saffron-sugar he handled it how he handled it. It was the 70’s he was young. You don’t know that interaction could have saved her life. But, yeah let’s judge someone’s efforts to try to help someone be more cautious if they were going to be hitchhiking.

[@adaniel0828]

Remember walking back to my grandma's when I was 14 or so, not really realizing she lived in a bad neighborhood & I was dressed for the heat with no shoes or anything, and inwas very attractive then. A nice guy stopped and gave me a ride (I had no real world experience), and he gave me a lecture about who knows what coukd have happened to me and only prostitutes walked like that there.

This story was part of an unsolved mysteries episode on Netflix, volume 3 episode 8 called the ghost in apartment 14. A woman sees her young daughter talking to no one and eventually the daughter sees a picture of Marliz and tells her mom that’s who she talks to. They were living in Marliz and John’s old apartment in Chico in the early 2000s. The mom could tell it was haunted but couldn’t see Marliz. Colleen’s story was mentioned as well.

I was thinking the same thing. Couldn't Janice have also been suffering from Stockholm Syndrome as well? Not to mention Cameron literally "groomed" her from the age of 15. She was a child. Wasn't it possible that her responses were also trauma related and that she was also using what she could to survive as well?
