My ex had a family member who was caught in the act of S.A on a 5 yr old girl he got a measly 14 months which was infuriating. Thankfully karma caught up with him. 6 months after he was released He was breaking into a pregnant girls apartment (his family tried to say he thought it was his house....yeah ok) the girls bf just happened to be there and shot his ass and he died Justice served in my eyes. I did not care I would have hugged the guy.

[@sheistru]

Man this is infuriating. I got 3 years probation all because someone said my name. Despite the da and judge admitting that I was innocent and proving they tried to cohorce me into saying something that was untrue just to help their other cases. No record prior, not even a parking ticket. All because they needed someone credible to help them fight a case. And because pride and racism got in the way, instead of admitting they were wrong, they altered evidence and convicted me. While he had a plethora of chances, a slap on the wrist, big ego to continue without fear, many victims just roam freely and be classified as NOT A DANGER TO SOCIETY.

He rambled a bit but didn't seem real crazy or anything and I didn't ask why he was in a mental hospital. However one night I had a very vivid dream in which I could see he was hiding something in a cupboard, and I knew it was something bad. After that I stopped answering his letters. I stumbled across his name somehow while searching for something via Google, a little over 20 years later. There was a short article about him...

I;m getting the impression that some individuals in the legal system are tacitly enabling the behavior of such people with such ridiculously lenient sentences for such heinous crimes. Perfect justification for some vigilante justice.

[@Hezabelle77]

Born and raised in Worcester. As a girl, I was probably safe but it is a very real possibility that I have passed him in my life. My brother would have been in his preferred age range, too. *shiver

[@yourlocaltwink4551]

I lived in great falls my whole young life, my grandma worked at the country Jail and had a few encounters with this monster, he’d always wish her a happy Mother’s Day, my aunty Sibil lived next to this man for years and always scared us with this case. And the house next door remained abandoned

[@paulacullin8900]

Hello guys!! Thank you so much , this was a great story. I can't believe he was able to walk the earth freely and hurt those people. He will meet his end in hell.

[@goddammitalana]

I got more years probation for "driving" while being stopped at a gas pump after taking 2 Norco for my knee pain after 2 double shifts in a row as a dancer. That's absolutely infuriating

[@ZenMonkeyGod]

That's really awful, I'm so sorry to hear that. You did nothing wrong.

[@justhearmeout3959]

It's people like Nathanial that prevent any sort of bail reform or prison reform. Because of people like him, we can't even have the conversation without cases like his being brought up

[@schneedgod]

Yeah it does make the conversation difficult. We do need better rehabilitation programs that is 100% for sure. There are people locked up right now who can be functional, kind and productive free citizens if we were to give them the mental help that they truly need. However guys like this truly cannot be rehabilitated. I'm of the opinion that anyone who commits violent S.A of any kind, commits crimes against children that involve S.A or torture/murder and things of that nature - cannot be rehabilitated.

[@timetravelkitty425]

Love the way you guys get the stories across, it’s a little different to hear it from a man and a woman alternating parts. With so many true crime channels now that it’s getting more people hooked, I feel like I’ve seen it all and know most of the cases so u guys have effectively kept it fresh🎉 thanks for making your content!

[@gemgem7437]

This made me so angry 🤬 I have no words. 🤬 the failures in this case are just unbelievable 🤬 didn't prove that he was a danger to society!! SMH 🤬 sorry what 👀

[@Jkk55]

Well done telling this difficult case he was a monster and the children were failed many times by the authorities and his own family and who buys a child a Ouija board?!!.

[@tinawindham6958]

I was ‘61 baby and we had them as games, pretty sure my parents still don’t know what they are. My kids were ‘80’s babies and wouldn’t know what they were but a game boy??? Yes, had so many and they just get revamped over and over.

[@amberbrady7112]

I'm glad to see I'm starting to get more notifications for your videos! Keep fighting YT! We love you guys!

[@salemspellman227]

I was born in Stoughton right around the time he was released from Bridgewater hospital 😬 creeeepy

[@bittertoothig]

this is horrifying to listen to! this happened literally 20 minutes away from my town, and i used to live in worcester

[@_daughterr]

thank you so much for the content you create, it's so morbid but so important to talk about. love seeing your faces

[@TheMiseryMachine]

Thank you! We're a bit self-conscious on camera, but it's nice to know that it's appreciated ❤️

[@aprilcanipe2614]

This is The misery machine content I live for! Keep it up guys!

[@johnub4]

I live in Massachusetts I never heard of this story. I’m glad it was brought to light.

[@Ceci21711]

So glad I was directed to your site by Kimberly Flower. Appreciate your excellent exporting skills. This case is unbelievable however so many cases go through the system in this manner. At last with social media these huge discrepancies of our legal systems bring awareness and possible scrutiny by proper authorities.

[@kimwalsh]

I like watching your videos with you two being at home and seeing kitty cats. I did like the scenery shots as well. No matter how you guys tell us the story it is always captivating and keeps my attention all the way through. Thank you so much. Have a Great week ahead.😸😽😺

[@SlickRicShow]

I love this channel so much I wish there were hour + long videos to take me away from my monotonous life!

[@briankdey1746]

I really like this new format and style that you're doing where you guys are more engaged and your vocalizations are a bit more interactive and alive so to speak and I'm definitely buying one in your shirts because you guys logo is awesome

[@joshpereira8824]

RIP Zach. We went to school together and he was one of my best friends. We sat right next to each other in 4th grade when he disappeared. I still have very vivid memories of that day and being interviewed by the police. Great Falls, and myself were never same after this.

[@nomiherbst.4506]

Predators do not and cannot change, there is NO rehabilitation of a child predator. There needs to be a one strike rule. Once you've been caught harming kids (beyond reasonable doubt) you're put to death the same way you killed your victim. This is EXACTLY why my parents kept us from sleep overs and hanging out with older kids. I always got mad because of it but as a parent I finally understand that there are creatures out there just waiting to harm our children. RIP to the victims, they were let down by the very institutions put in place to "protect" us.

[@One-Crazy-Cat]

The same way. Hmm. Serve Nathan burgers 🍔 to the inmates. Just got 300 lbs of meat in guys. Eat up.

[@wakondahazel5627]

This guy is sick and should of never been released.... I love how you guys keep your storytelling interesting. So many podcasts are so dry and boring.

[@TheWorldOfMeghan]

If someone saw a distressed boy near a man, who just stands there and watches it??

[@kylegreen5657]

Zach was my best friend. We were supposed to meet at the end of the alley to go to school. He never showed up. I'm 38 now and still suffer ptsd. My kids hate the fact that I am so strict about them running around without me knowing where they are. This sick man got off easy. He died in jail from staff infection. Zach will always be remembered

[@mickideg1837]

They'll have to use the DNA from the bones from the kids and trace family to find out who those kids were. I hope they can and it's in the budget. I'd want to know if it were my child that was missing. It's hard to believe we live with that kind of evil around us.

[@tjm3453]

Love the way you filmed this episode 💗

[@TheMiseryMachine]

Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@sarahweaver8879]

I CANNOT EVEN ABOUT THE BBQ COOKOUTS WITH THE NEIGHBORS. I CANNOT.

[@TheMiseryMachine]

It just blows me away that people even ATTENDED these cookouts. It seemed like this dude was giving off red flags left and right

[@sarahweaver8879]

@@TheMiseryMachine have you ever seen the movie The Burbs with Tom Hanks hahaha!?! It reminds me of the scene where they go over for dinner and the werewolf kid is cooking hahahah

[@HeyGirlHaaay]

I made 3 different routes for my son when he walked. Because having only 1 makes it easier to let weirdos know where you come from, where you're going, and the times.

[@Blitzkrieg1976]

I grew up in Massachusetts...those graveyards are definitely kinda spooky. I mean, being colonized so early, it's definitely an interesting place to see how much the earth shifts. Thank you guys, this individual was definitely a creep.

[@foxfriendzanimaltown9859]

There should never be a statute of limitations on anything done to a child, I would hope that they've changed that by now.

[@SuperLoop7209]

The fact that this channel doesn’t have more subscribers and views is almost criminal. True crime isn’t a new genre, but I respect this channel for keeping it to the facts and not speculation/theory, with some quite frankly, professional tones when speaking.

[@TheMiseryMachine]

Thank you Adam! I truly appreciate the kind words, it made my day

[@reachinghigher4259]

>publicly-known crimes started to make neighborhoods very nervous >criminal holds cook-outs >public goes to cook-outs This math aint mathin

[@utubesbest4me]

Why didn’t the mother went to the police and told them her son is f…….up and need to be put away

[@Pailers]

I have a lot of expletives for this man, but mainly HOW does impersonation of a police officer to kidnap, sa, and attempt to KILL someone not get immediate long term jail time.??

[@jayceechick]

If a judge releases a dangerous criminal against all recommendations and they later reoffend then that judge should also be held accountable.

[@cynthiaschlosser9713]

Also I just found your channel and I LOVE IT!!!! Keep up the great work!!!!

[@chrismctague3498]

I just wanted to say I love your channel and content. Been watching you guys almost since day. Cheers 🍻 👏

[@stupid4867]

Uff da.. this is our justice system. Thanks guys, for your excellent work

[@TheMiseryMachine]

Thank you for the kind words! ❤️❤️

[@MeUrWishGranted]

Wtf?! I can't wrap my head around this story. TGHD!

[@Platinumpuppy]

This story gets me so frustrated . Even the interview of Bar Jonah with the tv show Most Evil had me livid. btw I love her glasses.

[@sadkitty1407]

You two are seriously so cute lol I love it. ❤️

[@hatenayousei]

at the end... the 14 year old had a 19 YEAR OLD boyfriend?! who the hell just lets that happen? her parents should've been charged, clearly they couldn't give less shits about their daughter

[@jasminerussell9732]

love you 😘 guys you are putting some of the best stuff on YT out there like always love it when i see yous pop up so thanks mates

[@SarahLovesBoobahandErEr]

I can’t even finish this shit. I can’t wrap my mind around this monster getting away with all of these offenses! I think about my crime (forgery) and the HARSH punishment I received for it. I’m still on probation for a crime I committed in 2017. Ive been to jail 3 times because my probation is so incredibly strict! At first the judge gave me INDEFINITE probation for my FIRST offense! Now it’s 10 years. A $75 check ruined me and THIS monster got away with so much.
