Jesus, just looked a bit more into that Kyle case. A couple of corrections to Ballen's video. 1) it perfectly easy to understand him in the dispatch recordings, especially the second one where he describes the car. And 2) The police had his phones coordinates with an accuracy of 6ft. They just didn't bother to use the feature on the GPS in their car that drops a pin on the calls location.

I had a very strong-minded friend who quit being a 911 operator after only a month or two, because he acknowledged that he couldn't handle it over a longer period of time. People need to recognize when certain jobs aren't for them and take action, because it could easily cost someone their life. 911, nurse, caretaker, etc. Totally senseless. Those guys should be in prison, for real.

[@JSainte17]

I'm a 911 operator. I live in Chicago and used to work for Chicago. One day, despite calling my boss and telling her I wouldn't be in because I was sick, she sent officers to my house in Chicago. Now, I was new. I had only been there about two months, but they still sent officers to check on me because apparently something happened where she didn't get my voicemail. Also, I was incredibly sick, and my husband, who was a detective, was also dead asleep with me because he'd worked the night before, and I was hella sick, so neither of us heard the knocking, but they still checked on me. I do not believe that MI6 just forgot about him. I mean, come on.

[@GreatWhiteNinja21]

Chad is on a good one lately. The last few videos I've seen his energy and enthusiasm have been at a whole other level. I love the good vibes you're both pouring out there. Keep up the great work.

[@LoisoPondohva]

In the second story the fact that it does look like some kind of a bondage game (while arguably being physically impossible to be self-inflicted) doesn't actually give less credence to an intelligence hit. Because if you work for MI6 and have a bondage fetish, they KNOW about it. It's their job. So of course they would make it look like an accident connected to that. The only thing is the situation they put him in (if they did it) looks a bit too convoluted and strange. But that could be because they wanted it to be impossible to legally tie it back to them, while also being obvious it's not "just an accident" to send a message. If they just wanted to stealthily get rid of him, they would presumably go less Houdini.

[@kinjiru731]

I think MI6 offed that guy. The fact they didn't even bother to check on one of their agents given the risk of their job says a lot.

[@christopherking4932]

That third story really pissed me the fuck off, how much training does someone need to hear the panic in his voice, you don't need training for that, it actually requires having a soul. That dispatcher is pure evil in my opinion.

[@mudfishnick9768]

I've overheard quite a few comments from my father (the chief for our local FD) that 911 dispatchers aren't always the most competent or hasty of people

[@Dibious]

Which is backwards as hell considering you need to be the MOST competent and hasty with that kind of job. Someone's life is in your hands, why WOULDN'T you take it seriously?

[@jamesmoyner7499]

The number one story breaks my heart and makes me furious that the cops who went to the parking lot and didn't check the van weren't charged in any way pisses me off. I hope there is an especially warm place reserved for them in the great Hereafter.

[@Savage.Doomer]

This is on the dispatcher, not the officers.

[@bungiecrimes7247]

I'm not a reddit atheist but wishing for people to go to hell is very cringe. 🥶

[@GreatWhiteNinja21]

@@Savage.Doomer yeah I'd say especially after the second call. I was hoping the guy would start flailing to rock the car back and forth and get the attention of any passerbys but we all know that didn't happen now that we've heard the story very unfortunate. It would also be very difficult to move to this degree with a hundred pounds of force being exerted on your chest. Who knows how often something like this occurs it reminds me of the show "a thousand ways to die." This death was preventable but negligence is to blame.

[@MrEsphoenix]

@@Savage.Doomer Not sure why Ballen didn't mention it, but worth noting that it came out in court that the police had access to the coordinates that could locate his phone to within about 6 ft and just never used the feature on the GPS in their car that drops a pin on the map to locate it, so it's on both the police and the dispatch.

[@sam-psonsmith9951]

Self Inflicted makes no sense. If it was a fetish thing that turned into an accident. Why would he wipe his Computer, clean the entire apartment to a point where you can't find any DNA and then lock himself inside a bag. Without any means or ability to get back out again... If you consider the option that his intention was to end his life, why would he chose such a method, most people wouldn't want to be found like that. If he wiped his computer to prevent people from finding out about some kind of weird fetish, or anything else, why would he then chose a method that would reveal that exact fetish. Also, its a strange and unlikely method. Why would he bother cleaning the room, and how did he prevent his fingerprints being all over the bag and the padlock. He wasn't wearing gloves so how could he have done that. If it was the Russian Mafia i believe MI6 would spend more effort on proving that. Why not look into it. The fact that an MI6 agent himself said it was a coverup. The fact that MI6 went into the apartment before the police did. And the fact that they didn't bother looking into it until his sister went to the police. Makes it quite obvious to me. MI6 got rid of him, because he tried to leave them, and probably knew things they didn't want to risk getting out.

It’s sad & scary but both of you are absolutely right. The worst people work in healthcare or human resource type jobs for the check

[@DisorientedWanderer]

I remember hearing about that last one around when it happened. Feels awful to say but I forgot about it till now

[@Zach014G]

My biggiest complaint was the dang police officers where being lazy and just drove around the parking lot. THEY didn't say THEY walked around looking at the cars.

[@TheLordTash]

In their defense, it was reported as "low-priority unknown incident in the high school parking lot". From that description, the cops probably assumed it was something dumb like two high schoolers calling 911 over a stupid argument. They probably get three of these a week and the students always go home a few minutes after making the call, so they weren't taking it too seriously. I'd blame this entirely on the dispatcher for not recognizing the urgency of the situation and informing the authorities that it's a high-priority situation.

[@Zach014G]

@@TheLordTash Fair enough thanks for that information.

[@R1L6N]

3rd story still pisses me off no matter how many times i've seen it.

[@R1L6N]

I don't know which one is worse, the 1st dispatcher who labeled the call as unknown incident/trouble or the 2nd dispatcher who just didn't bother relaying the additional information they got to the police that were dispatched at the location from the second call.

[@LoisoPondohva]

​@@R1L6N2nd one in my view. Because there is a possible argument to be made that the first one "didn't know what the trouble was", but they did send help. The second one just went "eh, they'll manage".

[@bigsmoke8539]

​@@LoisoPondohvaThe more you know, the pissest you get. It easily to understand what he said in the recording, especially the second one when he describes his car and location. They just don't take it seriously.

The last one makes me so so so angry. If u can hear him banging, or if u couldnt hear him SEND DISPATCH!!!!!!!! If u dont know then u have to check anyway. Thats ur job. Do ur job.

[@Halicos93]

Yea i believe Russian KGB got that dude and i believe you are right at the same time they sent a message to the inteligence agency that this might happen to them next if they continued to disrupt the Ruskis. This is just my theory btw on what happened dont take it to heart pls.And the van story broke my heart and i wish that those 2 dispatchers go to jail or get fired.

[@christopherking4932]

Great video.

[@KaiserKai16]

I'm surprised the video and the two of them don't really focus on the other big mystery in the second story. Unless I misunderstood the story, the second story is describing a closed room mystery. The padlock locks the duffle bag so that nothing inside can get outside, and nothing outside can get inside. So how did the key to the padlock get inside the bag? Whether it was a hit or a self-afflicted act, the key shouldn't be inside the bag. Edit: Typo fix.

[@GreatWhiteNinja21]

The second story doesn't mention a car and you could unlock a padlock with a key preemptively then throw the key into the bag (or place the key in first and climb in if it was self inflicted) and then lock the padlock after. The story mentions that attempts were made to reenact locking the duffle bag with a padlock on the outside from within the bag 400 times and never successfully achieved this goal. As Chad Nikki pointed out even if you could achieve this it's highly unlikely you do it without getting fingerprints on anything. The only way I could see it being done from the inside is to climb in after putting the key in there, zipping a zipper up as far as you can towards your head with the padlock resting on the surface of the malleable duffle bag by your neck and then somehow manage to hold it and manipulate the lock to guide it into the intersecting holes of the two zippers once you manage to overlap them from inside (maybe with your fingernails) and then twist the lock and press it closed with your hand or forehead. However like stated before they supposedly tried everything they could think of to recreate this effect with no success.

[@KaiserKai16]

@@GreatWhiteNinja21 It's probably because I don't really deal with padlocks often, but are they self-locking? You don't need the key to lock the padlock? Also, not sure what you're referring to about a car.

[@MrEsphoenix]

@@KaiserKai16 depends on the type of lock, but a lot of padlocks can indeed be closed without the key. They generally come with a spare key too.

[@KaiserKai16]

@@MrEsphoenix Gotcha. Aww, was wishing for a closed room mystery, but oh well.

You asked "So how did the key to the padlock get inside the car?" In your first comment the third line up from the bottom, it must have been a typo.

nikki sounded very confused argue it was self inflicted on the 2nd case.
