I am an older person living in an area with limited bus service and I often give people a ride. People here don't typically hitchhike. The odd one I don't pick up if they don't look 'local' and now I don't feel so bad, but I probably wouldn't pick up someone who is actually hitching as the local kids don't do that, if that makes sense.

Right? How some people can just let things pass is insane. If one of my friends admitted to any sort of abuse or physical harm on anyone else then I would be on the phone soon after to 911.

Whether it be a physically abusive roid raging asshole who physically and sexually abuses her to the F'd in the head military guy who just loves violence who then just kills someone. The girlfriends "never see it coming" or "he's not really like that" while literally anyone else with 5 braincells to use can see these guys are a problem after learning about them for 5 minutes.... but for her "yeah, I can't think of anyone else I could possibly love/sleep with"

[@miken8876]

Wow, she was so awful in that call. She basically asked him “so hey can you tell me all the details on that murder you committed that you already told me?” Like Jesus any person on earth would be able to tell that she’s got the cops listening

[@mg0020]

That was my first thought too but you'd think they'd go over what and how she'd ask or say before she called. So partially the blame is in the investigator too

[@joshs.5384]

That's interesting though - because he knows she WAS there, at the scene of the murder. So, he automatically knows something is up when she says she doesn't know what happened. I think she was trying to let him know the cops are listening.

[@maycasper2661]

Great point. Guy wasn't smart about it either, questioning her about the cops listening in basically. "They wouldn't leave a voicemail about a body" It actually confuses me that they both would behave that way... Actually... Maybe things weren't fully divulged with them. She probably never said anything. Like at all. Nothing not even a comment on the food being good unless he asked. Listening to her she sounds like she's psychologically abused. This honestly was probably his next step in training her to help him murder people. But he fucked up cause he didn't realize who she was deep down. Maybe so.

[@giltuito1545]

Don't forget that the girl was also hiding something. at that point her story was that she wasn't even there with them when the kid got shot. so she couldn't just ask something like "what happened there?" because he knows that she was there when he committed murder. neither could she say something like "what exactly happened there? I don't remember/that was too traumatic for me to register" because then the cops would have found out that she with them in the desert. she was in a problematic position.

[@bunnyluver2176]

She says he left a vm then says, I told him I'd have to call him back. How do you talk to a vm. Yeah they really should have prepared her for the call cuz she doesn't seem like the sharpest crayon in the box.

[@m998hmmwv7]

I didn't understand what it all meant. Thanks for explaining. Proves killers are never as smart as they think they are.

[@kevinc3344]

@@m998hmmwv7 Miranda is a funny thing. It was intended to protect people, but police often capitalize on people's misunderstanding of it to use it against them. Miranda has a lot of ins and outs and "special circumstances," but the gist of it is this: when in police custody (which Nick was not, as explained in the video), the court assumes that anything you say was coerced until your rights have been read to you. The Miranda warning turns that assumption around. After being read your rights, the court automatically assumes three things: 1.) That you understand your rights, 2.) That anything you say from that point onward is voluntary (and therefore, admissible in court), and 3.) (this is the kicker) That you are waiving the rights they've just told you about. After this point, you can exercise your rights, but unless you explicitly invoke them, the court may also assume that your silence is incriminating. This is why there is only ONE correct thing to say to any officer who wants to interview or question you, whether you're in custody or not: *"I'm not answering any questions, and I'd like to speak with a lawyer."* One other important thing to remember is that even if a confession is ruled inadmissible, it doesn't mean that other evidence can't be used in court to secure a conviction. All other evidence legally procured is still viable. Nick obviously didn't realize this, either.

[@ramjetrth]

In a nutshell you just summarized what sentencing should be about. It should be about protecting society with reform being a nice thing to try for if possible. Sentencing should be based on how much of a future threat that person poses to society. I remember a case where a kid's estranged father had seriously injured his mother on several occasions. His father then threatened to kill his mother on a particular day, the kid was ready for him in case he actually showed, which he did, and shot him to protect his mother. They gave him a life sentence without possibility of parole (the police had been called many times in the past but told them there was nothing they could do). This for a kid who likely would never be a threat to anyone for the rest of his life. Meanwhile they give much lighter sentences to people who have killed someone with little provocation but since it wasn't premeditated they were let off easy. Yet if you can kill without much provocation you will always be a threat.

His parole term should have been longer, certainly. But, its only eligible after 30. His comments in the interview and outside of it depict someone who will kill again, and that would make for a very hard parole case. I imagine it will be denied many times, until he has at least served 50.

Two of them ended up killing people. One guy killed his girlfriend with a hammer when he was 19, and the other was in a fender bender when he was 20, and pulled a base ball bat from this truck, and beat the guy in the other car to death. About 2 years before the second psycho killed the other driver, he was with a few of his friends one night during Christmas break, and started harassing me and a couple of my high school friends while we were bowling. He didn't remember me from school probably because he was two grades behind me. He had to stay back in school for 2 years, but I knew who he was, and asked him: "Hey aren't you so and so." Then he asked one of his buddies: "Is the shotgun still in the trunk?" They left and nothing happened that night, but when I found out what he had done two years later, I considered myself and my friends to be lucky.

Even the narrator said Nick made them do things to entrench them in the crime so they felt like they could not go to the police. Also that he was the only one with a gun at the time. You would agree that if someone puts a gun to someones back and walks them into a bank and tells them they need to ask for the money or die... that the person being held at gun point is not in fact robbing the bank. This is why intent matters. Though both of them should have plead the fifth and then plead out immunity. Why you never talk to the police even if you are technically innocent.

I actually knew nick and spent a lot of time with him back in 2013. Years before this happened. Still blows my mind..I knew he was a narcissistic and didn't care much for others. He slept around a lot and actually had at the time atleast 1 kid possibly 2 kids he didn't have anything to do with. Shotting guns was a common activity of his. I never expected this though.

And she got parole after just 5 years. That means she's already free after conspiring to murder people with those other psychopaths. Justice system failed.

[@dreadfullguppy19]

@@geigertec5921 Absolutely agree..I'm pretty certain that the other 2 would'nt of ever got involved in something like this without the influence of Vandenberg..however look how skillfully she lied,acted the innocent and feigned ignorance and maneuvered her position..if anyone was being manipulated by Vandenburg it was much more likely be the dull witted jail fodder Rabey..Once Rabey started talking- his version of events was far closer to the established facts and truth than the smoke she kept blowing up everyone's ass.. She ought to of got as long as Rabey minimum..and if anything her lies and deception..(and the fact she was keeping Vandenburg informed and updated of the police investigation..when the interviewing officer clearly asked her not to do it)should of earned her considerably more. She was present at the murder..I believe she probably acted as bait and to put the Victim at ease and was happy to do this knowing full well what Vandenburg had planned for him.. Rabey is a petty criminal..jacking cars and barfights are more his thing he's not the brightest guy and unlike the other two lacks a stable family background or any sort of stability in life.. She had more choices in the situation..and could easily have turned Vandenburg in at any time without any repercussions on herself..unlike Rabey who had nowhere else to go. Vandenburg is a psychopath and a rotten coward he deserves to leave this earth the hard way..but she enabled this murder and made a proactive attempt to cover up for her boyfriend..she deserves a lot longer than the couple of soft years in jail that her pussy pass bought her.

[@Offu-cz9wl]

The local news who covered this originally when it happened had dug into it and his crew he was in in the military never saw any combat according to his military officer that they reached out to. It’s mind boggling how many people try using that as an excuse for things they do when they never even saw combat like they claim 🤯🥴

[@willow_rayne6678]

I know someone who was in the military and he would constantly call me and tell me that the only way that he would be free from his flashbacks and tics is if we were together. We'd never had any romantic interest towards each other before, at least not from my end, but he said that I was the only comfort he had. I was married at the time and I have two children... there's absolutely no way I could have someone unstable around me. I helped him get help and get him into the VA and on medication so he could be relieved of his anxiety and flashbacks, at least to an extent. There are people who seen REAL combat and react accordingly after having been discharged or served their time in the military, and back to being a civilian. This guy was so full of it that he couldn't see reality past the hazy film of bullshit that was over his eyes. Narcissist on every level. It's a good thing they got him. It would have been in Keith and Montanna's best interest to go together right after he'd killed this poor boy, and turned Nick in. No one will ever truly know the full depth of what happened out there, but the good news is that there's justice being served.

I know Montanna supposedly didn't move the body or anything, but I just can't understand why she only gets possibly 5 years while Keith, who told the truth in one singular interview, could and probably will be in jail for this crime for 26 years. I don't want Montanna in my community. Just because she's a woman doesn't mean she had no agency and didn't assist Nick like Keith did. Hell in my opinion she helped Nick more than Keith because she kept lying and tried tipping him off with that horrible phone call.

[@AndrewMOJObook]

I hitchhiked around the East Coast from my teen years until I joined the Army at 23 in the 1980s. Mostly Lancaster, PA to Philly to New Jersey, Maryland and New York. Only had one incredibly scary ride, a depressed, divorced, recently unemployed stockbroker who had 2 BMWs, and a nice house but was using crank and cocaine continuously, who was paranoid about everything, picked me up then said he had to change cars. This made me concerned. We got to his place and he began spray painting his one black BMW with gold and silver spray paint. I was and am convinced that he was close to some kind of edge, feeling like he had lost everything and was also in some kind of manic phase. Doing crank and coke for days without sleeping hadn't helped. When he'd finished his painting by putting a giant arrow on the hood he dropped me off at the interstate restaurant so I could keep hitch hiking. I wouldn't have been the least surprised if he'd killed me.
