When a Killer Teen Realizes she was Scammed to Murder

[@readycheddar]

I cannot tell you how much it angers me that people would do this to a developmentally disabled person. She just wanted some friends. That’s all she wanted, and they did this to her. I cannot explain the rage in words.

This channel has shown me that true crime stories don’t need to revel in the heinous actions of a villain, as seems to be the focus in so many entries in the true crime genre. Thank you for creating content which both tells the full story and also honors the true central figures in these situations: the victims. Keep up the great work! I may not be too fond of coffee, but I’ll gladly toast a nice chai latte to the next case! And if you’re reading this, take care and look out for each other! 🖤

Denali's mother showed her daughter the definition of true, unconditional love. She didn't lie or cover up for her daughter, and made sure she'd be held accountable for her actions - the most difficult, but best, thing to do for everyone involved. Too many parents show their "love" by lying and covering for their offspring.

[@It-is-me...Melsie]

Wasn't she a crap mother to begin with though.

[@rainbowunicornnun]

Parents, please be aware of who your children's friends are (even more so if your child is developmentally challenged). Learn who they are, get to know them a bit, ask your children about their friends. Even if your child is a young adult, be aware of those around them. My parents forbade me from hanging out with certain people in my late teens, because they did not like those friends, they did not like the types of activities they were involved in, the type of household they came from, and did not trust them. And I truly believe that kept me safe growing up, even if I was upset with my parents back then, because when I look back at some of my friends (and who they are now), I understand why I wasn't allowed to hang out with them. Also wtf is this "law" that you cannot report someone missing for less than 24 hrs?!?!? It's complete BS! Some people know their relatives' routine and know when something isn't right. For the police to say otherwise is complete bullshit.

I simply love the destination intros in each video. Great landscape views with good commentary. You easily showcase each destination and any tourism board would be highly impressed. Great work! 👍

Cynthia may have had developmental challenges but Denali was emotional challenged. She ‘fell in love’ with someone she never met, and was willing to commit crimes for him. She ‘convinced’ her friends to go along with her for some strange reason. But none of that is an excuse for brutally murdering her best friend. Disgusting

I am addicted to your channel. I really enjoy the way you give the victims their time, something a lot of crime podcasts fail to do. They focus everything on the killer, and the victims get forgotten

2 million subs very soon! Congrats!

Looking sharp, Adrian 👌

[@mattylatty]

I love your self depreciating humour!! Many of us had much worse hair before lockdown was even a thing!! Great story telling in all your videos, I always look forward to all of your content 😊

[@LadyImperatrix]

One of the many things that has always kept me coming back for every single episode of CC is Adrian’s sensitively measured approach to each story. He is always so thoughtful toward the victims, never sensationalizes the crime, and never utilizes inflammatory descriptions of the perpetrators. His approach is always a mix of empathy and zen. So, when he calls someone a “scumbag”…you know that person truly deserves that moniker. - Thank you Adrian for your consistently top-quality work. 🌸

I said this before, you aren't a beardy. You are lucky, some of us have to cover our faces with one

[@RhinoLCS]

I love the self-roast at the start lmao. Been watching your channel for a bit now and just wanna say keep up this pace bro. You're very good at giving background but remaining to the point. All the best to you, Adrian!

[@JuneGillespie-uf3sl]

Keep up your great work! You tell us of these cases with much empathy and care. Thank-You for that! And you look cute no matter your hair cut!

I think that so many young people today lack the emotional and moral framework to deal with these sociopaths that prey upon them.

I didn't like Nero. I like Augustus, Aurelian come close second

[@gypsygirlkelly]

Love you, Adrian!❤

Please cover the Brian Smith case here in Alaska. He moved from South Africa and became a citizen here, then cheated on his wife with two homeless Alaskan native women and killed them.

[@katiefalk7720]

So tragic. This happened in my hometown, absolutely heartbreaking 💔

[@oken6023]

Its always heartbreaking how parents of murderers have to let their children into jail for life even though they still love them. It must be an excruciating pain.

[@BabySquirrel8323]

Do you have plans to come out with a bigger version of your coffee cup?!

[@jennacide27]

One of my favorite channels! Hi Adrian!

[@CoffeehouseCrime]

Hey, thanks!

[@ThePainkiller48]

He had no money, no chiseled jawline or any washboard abs. 💀 💀

[@darkheartt302]

Darin is the pure definition of a neck beard! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@tinaroberts5858]

R.I.P Cynthia.❤

[@katiemaycosplay]

Seriously the fact that there were so many hands involved in this little girl's death baffles me the reason why not one person questioned anything about this mysterious 9 million dollar doner or how even the fact that they were about to murder somebody

[@03stmlax]

"he had no chiseled jawline." He had no jawline at all

[@BigDrewski1000]

I feel so bad for this poor girl's family. R.I.P. Cynthia. Heaven has a new angel.
