The sad thing is Samantha’s boyfriend was in touch with her the ENTIRE night including the ride home.

He tried calling then the phone was shut off. He was the one calling her friends. And the one who got the investigation started! So tragic

What I don’t understand is how the Uber driver knew how to get to her home and how Samantha didn’t almost immediately realize she was in the wrong car. First of all, she wouldn’t have seen his gps up, second his photo wouldn’t have matched the apps photo, unless it looked similar…. I would’ve banged on the windows and doors immediately pleading for attention and help. Maybe she was too impaired or tired. I just don’t get this

The "Uber" story hits so close to home because when I was younger I ordered a taxi and someone had tuned into the cab office radio and got my details, when he pulled up and said my name I felt ok but my gut was screaming something isn't right, thankfully I noticed he didn't have the stickers/badges required by cab drivers and declined the ride, saying sorry I've changed my mind, he became aggressive and got out of the car but I was one heck of a runner in my teens so was able to get away and call police. Please be careful about who you're getting into a car with, even if you have booked the Uber, check the license plate, ask him to clarify the details of the pick up and just do all you can to check authenticity of your ride!

[@roseaesthetic7969]

Damn, what did Witty Witty do? lol

[@fate_clotho9596]

One of the other sad things about Samantha's case is that her boyfriend, (might have been her fiancee, even), had been trying to find her when she left the bar, too. So he was actually watching in real time on his Find My Friends app as her murderer drove her further and further away, until the signal dropped. He was completely devastated. This caused Uber to change their security policies, although it took them awhile. That's why you now see lit Uber and Lyft signs in the car windows, driver photos, names, car photos, and license plate numbers on the app itself.

I got spooked by his demeanor and questions and just left. I still wonder to this day if he knew more than he was saying, and if that's why he was wanting to know if I knew her and stuff.

Former part-time Uber driver here. I cannot tell you how many times that I had drunk people accidentally get into my car (or attempt to) that weren’t my pickups. This included drunk college girls and 20-somethings traveling alone or in pairs. Fortunately for them, I wasn’t a complete psychopath. But these girls got into a stranger’s car without even verifying my photo or the make/model of my car. This is mind-bogglingly stupid. PLEASE verify your driver’s identity and that the vehicle matches that of your Uber or Lyft BEFORE you get into their car. Furthermore, don’t get so shitfaced at the bar that you can’t even recognize a potentially dangerous situation. If you want to get that drunk, please do that in the relative safety of your own home or that of a trusted friend.

Yea patients are kept awake during brain surgery to ensure there is no loss of motor skills, sensory perception or movement in extremities.

Christina’s story just made me so sad. she could have been such a big star

[@taurusoushii9916]

Yeah, it's infuriating that someone was selfish enough to carry that mindset, then turn around and be such a coward, and not take any accountability. (by offing himself, let me clarify that.)

[@ericsgabbiadini1256]

So f-ing sad...What a piece of sh**!!

I'm wondering why 'merica isn't trying to improve. Those psychopaths generally never exist outside of the U.S. It's like that side of the world isn't taking mental health seriously and ends up with a lot of people randomly killing others.

[@CS-uc2oh]

If you still think that's worth it after hearing her story, she died in vain. Not every deserved to hear her sing. Singing should not be a career.

Thank you for sharing all their stories, it’s nice to see someone acknowledge the victims. Well done Mr Ballen. Prayers to everyone involved in these horrific cases.

[@psilver063]

Finally Ballen is doing some ads for himself. I’m more than happy to sit through an ad as long as he is speaking about it. You deserve every bit you earn off this channel. Keep up the amazing work my man.

[@MrBallen]

I really appreciate that!!

[@psilver063]

@@MrBallen we really appreciate what you do. You make the days less stressful while driving around checking on my 25 jobs under construction. When one of my assistants call me, or a sub, or my office manager and your in the middle of a story, they go straight to voicemail. If they repeat the call, they get a tongue lashing. How dare they interrupt Ballen’s story time. I started letting my in house employees know that from 9-10 on video drop days I’m out of range and to try me after 10. 🤣 ! Thanks again man, I’m glad you have found your niche being out of the service, so many aren’t that lucky and I’m sure you are an inspiration to many vets.

Poor Samantha. 😔😔 so sad, she had a lot going for her. Can't imagine how painful it was for her to be stabbed 120 times and still lived for 10 minutes afterwards.

[@frosty2785]

Agreed that story broke me heart she had a huge future ahead of her

[@masudkhwaja9458]

I think that she rather got stabbed like 80 ish times in those 10 minutes she stayed alive after the first stab. 40 more while she was dead

[@masudkhwaja9458]

Never mind, just got to watch the video where John explained it himself. The fact that Samantha survived for that long while literally being a human swiss Cheese is mind boggling to me. What a strong human and will to live.

[@lilo4399]

It's like Tristan Bailey's story. The constant flow of these stories, of psychotic predators..... even the second story, the obsessed fan. I think that was the mindset of the guy who took Tristan's life. And the horrifying reality - these are only the extremists. 66.6% of the male population are programmed in their DNA to have this attitude towards women! Justice for Gabby!

As someone who was a fan of Christina before her death, it hit me so hard when she was killed. Her KZbin channel was a constant source for me back then. She was a great singer, musician, and person.

First story with the drill bit in the eye, gosh... I heard a similar story where a guy working on the railroad got a pole stuck in his eye same way only his personality changed to ass and he died not long after, and he held rocks in his pocket after accident and was passionate about it, he didn't explain why

[@charlotteboyett-napper4780]

I listen to these stories and think about some of the reckless, clueless, and downright stupid decisions I have made and wonder how I survived when I could have been any one of these poor, unfortunate souls.

I can't even begin to fathom the pain that man caused Christina's whole family but especially her brother. He will "what if" himself to death if he isn't careful. I hope with all my hope that he was able to find some peace. He does not deserve that pain.

I was just scrolling through social media while listening to this video in the background and when you said Christina Grimmie I had like a visceral reaction. I used to watch all her videos when I was younger and my family were all fans of her.. Such a pure soul taken from all of us too soon
