ngl the first story gave me alot of respect to lacy the way he criticized his friend with the camera over not telling him what happened gave me way more respect then alot of the other irl streamers
Glad it wasn’t just me. His reaction actually caught me by surprise as I’m so used to IRL streamers only caring about themselves. The fact you could tell he was genuinely upset that the camera man just let something like that happen and didn’t say a word restored a bit of faith in humanity. Like someone else said it’s a low bar, but I’ll give credit where credit is due, especially since they attempted to question him later on it.
It’s crazy that the kid from Michigan had a notion to meet celebrities and that’s what made him leave home, and ultimately it actually was true but it was the thing that brought him back home.
I had spent a lot of time around people in similar mental states and usually they can follow objectives they just don't really know what's happening or what they are doing
MilesProwerTailsFoxunless they are in a full on psychotic mode they are functioning and normal intelligence and sometimes higher intelligence.. I've seen schizophrenic teens make very complex and dangerous trips, just for very bizarre reasons and have trouble remembering to eat and sleep and to go home ever.. (met some kids on the street in NYC who came from across the country on freight trains... I came for an annual punk rock concert commemorating the riot in Tompkins square and lingered in the area and got to know some interesting ppl but after few days I left and they were still in the same spot...)
That really was a pretty cool connection to make 🤔 Here I was thinking people were done using their brains like that, and here you are shutting me up!! I commend thee good sir 🙇🏻♂️ lol
Hello sir, we want to say thank you for your kind words on the video of us finding Mr. Couch. We appreciate it very much. We just now found your channel and we have now subscribed. You did a wonderful job.
And that apology to him and his family, despite the nature of his crimes, really was a genuinely kind thing to do. It's easy to dehumanize people based on their crimes, but that's not really the best way of looking at such cases. Especially when they had people who cared about them and undoubtedly experienced a lot of stress and grief over their loved one's mental state and crimes.
Bless you two! Very clever to follow the buzzards, nature has a funny way of leading us. Very sorry you had to smell that though, I know animals stink enough, I can only imagine how horrible a human would... Thank you so much for searching for him, to bring a closure to his crimes.
My cousin is schizophrenic and is having a hard time getting his meds adjusted and covered; this could literally happen to anyone. I can't blame the people who thought he was high or something. How are they supposed to know its a mental condition? Dude really DID sound drunk or under the influence. I don't think we can demonize strangers who think "that guy is kinda weird" to someone they don't know. If a random dude came up to you and acted like that you would feel weird too.
These are my thoughts exactly. My cousin also has schizophrenia and finally is in therapy, but he was honestly very scary when he would have his episodes, and it's confusing how you are supposed to react. We're only human.
people are way too quick to get angry instead of just... educating like a kind person. we cant demonize every "microaggression" a normal person does when they straight up don't know any better. people on the internet expect everyone to know everything or get shunned if they don't and forget you just learn from mistakes. its so annoying
There is a very well known schizophrenic guy in my neighborhood. He sounds very much like this, he's generally very nice and he has family that takes care of him but they just can't seem to find the correct combination of therapy and meds. I wouldn't blame anyone for thinking he was drunk or on hard drugs because that's definitely what he comes across as on some of his worse days. These guys really weren't that unfriendly to him and honestly what else were they supposed to do? You don't call the cops on every slightly strange person you meet.
I'm Schizoaffective myself and I can't blame them either, I'm well medicated and luckily have found ways to help my own symptoms but sometimes words still just *don't come out right* and sounds like...well Word Vomit, it's a symptom called Disorganized Speech and also tends to have Disorganized Thinking as well. I know what I'm TRYING to say but it just WONT Come out like that and it sounds weird to other people ! I can't blame people for thinking it sounds weird cause,,,well it does sdjfks
Not with schizophrenia, I was a weird kid in school bc I minded my own business, aka I was/am a shy introvert. I am sorry for all human-judging-envious-deflecting-... If I were older/smarter then, I'd have spoken up for someone, but did not know how then but did not meet them until adulthood and find them as equal humans. ✌🏻
Super early in the video, but I’m like, GENUINELY glad the streamers got immediately concerned when they learned the kid drank from that cup, and even chastised their cameraman for not saying anything earlier. A lot of IRL streamers wouldn’t be that concerned about something like that, so I’m glad they have morals
Exactly what the reply here said. Also, they only "cared" about the kid getting the cup because it was on THEIR monetized video that they were going to be uploading and wanted to show "concern" to cover their asses. pay attention people.
@@Spleenchomper Flirting is fine as long as the women show interest and not say stop or not interested, flirting its self is not wrong. Now I did not see the full video so I could have missed the earlier footage. PS I hope they were of legal age.
The first one about the schizophrenic kid made me tear up. I cant imagine the relief his family felt knowing he was alive. The kid seems like a happy, nice dude. I hope hes doing okay and back in treatment for his condition 💗
I really think there was more to this the guy looked like a pedo and when he handed that kid the cup he walked of with that weird dude I might be judging but if he’s 17 the boy that grab cup looked 12 and there living in a hotel meaning a adult has to be paying for
I can't imagine the type of relief the family in the first story felt after discovering their son/brother is still alive. I hope they're all doing better now.
Last story hit home, buddy went missing on a mountain pass on his motorcycle for 6 days, everyone assumed the worst but he survived a wreck, broke one of is hips multiple ribs and drank creek water till he was found alive. Still in recovery months later
being angry at the streamers in the first clip is actually so petty and insanely hypocritical. they even asked him if he took drugs because they were worried a child may have consumed them without knowing, but somehow people try to make them the villains. if they were in his shoes, they wouldnt have given a damn about the kid i am sure of it. the more someone is a hater online, the worse they are as a person.
Thing is if they hadn’t asked him about the content of his cup, they would’ve never gotten the name of the hotel he was staying at and they wouldn’t have found him. The whole assumption that he was on drugs is the reason why he was found.
@@Ashou145 exactly, they should be thankful that they were suspicious that he was under the influence that's exactly how he was reunited with his family by getting that crucial detail
Maybe they thought they were acting too calm about it? But then again from the cameraman talk it seems more like they just didnt get the full situation immediately.
I hope the couple from the 2nd story are doing well. They risked their lives going after a maniac but they were civil about it the whole time. While I don't think the apology was entirely necessary, I'm glad they did it anyway. They deserve the reward money and all the respect.
I think they got 10k up front and the 25k remaining would be paid out to them over a few years. I’m pretty sure it said so in the video. I could be wrong though.
I appreciate the second couple. The apology was unnecessary but very heartfelt. They seem like a sweet couple, the history behind their family is interesting too!
Yeah Wavy has been Waving👋for awhile now especially using his sponsored commercials regarding his💇hair loss adventure and escapades! True Crime Detective indeed!
If you ever do a sequel to this video, I know that Aiden and Aiden from The Lore Lodge channel solved the Boy In The Box cold case. The Philadelphia Inquirer _still_ only refers to them offhandedly as "internet sleuths", but they were absolutely the reason the case was solved.
Really??? Wow!! I’ve only been watching them for a couple months but didn’t realize. Kind of sucks they never actually got credit and it instead went to detectives
@cristinaestrella It's definitely annoying, especially when they pretty much did *_ALL_* of the investigation for the authorities, but I'm pretty sure that they care much more that Joseph Zarelli's identity has been discovered, and that his tragic story is remembered.
Bless people who still care for people who never got justice. I love the Lore Lodge, I watched that video with my grandma and her jaw dropped when she found out it'd been solved, and we finally knew what happened to the poor dear.
Various diving TH-camrs have collectively found the remains of multiple missing individuals. For instance, in 2021, a group of volunteer divers called "Adventures With Purpose" pulled out a vehicle from an Arkansas lake, believed to contain the bodies of a pregnant woman and her 22-month-old daughter who went missing in 1998.
Adventures with Purpose is also being led by a pdf file who is trying to a-buse his former employees. Don't give his channel views. Apparently he takes advantage of a LOT of those families.
Untill 2024 they have found 39 missing loved one. And other grp that they co oped with has also gone on to return lost ones in other areas. Exploring with Nug, Depth of history, Chaos divers and more. 🎉
@@rocketbilly came to say this, I used to love adventures with purpose until I learned about what jared was really like, a lot of people try to excuse it by saying it was a long time ago and he is now a good person but fuck no, he can rot in hell.
I remember when Mr. Couch was on the run, I’m in PA and remember thinking how scary that must be. Thanks to Fred and Sheila for finding him! They really showed a level of compassion most people wouldn’t have had by apologizing to his family. They truly are great people.
I’m sometimes glad that irl streamers exist for this reason. I’m glad Troy got back to his family considering his condition, it can be dangerous for schizophrenic people to be by themselves.I hope he got the help he needed.
Great video. Maybe you could make a sequel to this video, HeavyDsparks is a TH-camr that does heavy machinery recovery and once found the remains of a missing woman in a mineshaft. I think him and his team have also found other people too.
It's wild how people can see someone come back from a life or death situation like that and immediately start treating them like garbage just because they were happy to have survived.
Wavy you're the only TH-camr i've seen cover anything about the Joseph Couch situation. Being on 75, and barely missing it was a truly terrifying experience. We were all locked down for 2 weeks, and were at home listening to police scanners. Just to find out he offed himself moments after the shooting.
Most would have trouble getting out of bed with the flu, let alone going on a trek through those woods. That journey would be exhausting enough in good health.
Me, my wife and two of our best friends were on our way back from Possum Fest in Cumberland Kentucky when the Kentucky highway sniper incident occurred. We were literally 30 seconds out from the area it happened, while it was happening. So glad no one lost their life during the incident, but knowing we were so close to being involved in it has haunted me ever since.
Another instance of when a TH-camr found a missing person is Exploring With Josh. While exploring a cave, the TH-camr found this missing girl who was separated from her parents but couldn't speak English.
Yeah she was in a part of the cave most people wouldn’t have tried to push in to since it was so small. And it was pitch black, she didn’t have a flashlight. Scary.
I’d like to see the haters go live in the forest for 17 days! Sure, she could have prepared herself better, but how many “experienced” hikers get lost or worst dead. To say she did this for publicity and money just shows how clinical this world can be. Years ago a woman died while hiking the Appalachian Trail. She starved to death yet was something like 200 yards to a road. A forest surveyor found her tent years later. Not everyone has alternative motives, sometimes things just suck.
There were a lot of questions about this case. I remember people saying the timing of the goFundMe and her discovery were suspicious. She also left her phone in the car - NO ONE DOES THAT. It was just weird...
Ah, yes, degrade a woman who has been lost for 17 days, who broke her leg during those 3 weeks, all because she's too positive. The internet at it's finest 👍
I can say with a fair deal of confidence that the people saying those things have just never met a hippie. Like, wandering off into the woods with no phone, gear or supplies, surviving on berries for seventeen days while getting severe sunburn and breaking your leg, and finding it to be a spiritual experience, is about as hippie as you can get 😅
5:20 as someone who has a medical condition that causes me to be unable to care for myself (focal epilepsy), i love to hear that there are still people out there that will help those in a rough situation.
@@Jynxxx5 Exactly. Like she broke her leg, who breaks their leg for content that was even being recorded 😭 Of course she didn't take her stuff with her, it was suppose to just be a hike
Its probably moreso that she is a mainlander who see’s Hawaii as this wispy, spiritual place she can have fun in and in doing so displacing/ making it harder for locals (native Hawaiians) to live on their land. Its a very complicated issue in Hawaii and I recognize that these sentiments shouldnt carry over broadly to every “haole” or scenario (such as this one), but thats is very likely where these sentinments are coming from. In Hawaii locals are often frustrated by transplants of fetishize their culture/ homeland while also making it harder for them to live there.
What I love about your videos is that you keep talking about people and stories that I haven't heard before. You aren't repetitive! You're my number one favorite TH-cam channel!
second couple seem like genuinely sweet folk, gonna go sub to them, thanks Wavy (also you're once again rocking the Sopranos wiseguy fit, I respect it)
So glad Troy was found, I'm not on social media for many reasons but I'm happy that something good came of it as I've seen enough of so called content creators on TH-cam and think most of them are useless.
Adventures With Purpose do a lot of good work in missing person recovery. I can’t watch their videos often, too heavy for me, but they give people who’ve been lost for years the answers. Though, as they say, it’s never truly closure.
The first story about Troy Coleman was something. I figured he was the missing person based on his behavior. I'm glad he's okay and back home with his family.
The last story is just another example of how crazy people online are. She was found alive so now lets twist it into she was just a runaway drug addict and not just a person who got lost and needed help.
There are people in this comment section calling her disappearance suspicious. Like even if she was a runaway addict, does that mean she deserves to die lost in a forest?!
About hiker safety, we can tell people "don't hike there" or block "off the beaten path" or "secret" trails, people will still continue to hike there despite being told "no you can't/shouldn't go there".
Interestingly enough, Joseph Couch’s dad was killed in a hit and run down the street from my sisters house a few weeks ago. His killer also took off into the woods and caused a man hunt.
how about looking into strange or bizarre laws and what events or people inspired them? or maybe since there are so many videos featuring villains you could showcase heroes nobody expected.
I don't care for these IRL streamers, but I feel the first guys handled that kid perfectly, my only complaint being the camera guy not reacting quicker, which they themselves pointed out.
I'm from London ky, that was a scary night for sure. I stayed up all night listening to the scanner and watching the police helicopters searching for him online. They were literally flying all around his body for hours, its so crazy those two found him.
Sadly, there's only so many crazy stories in niche circumstances he can talk about. Can't imagine that finding missing people as a streamer/TH-camr is very common
This is a positive side to social media..Great video.. I have only watched the first case,I can't imagine what the family went through I'm just so glad he was found ☮️✨☮️✨
I know you always ask us to say what we might like you to look into in the comments, but I never have because I'm unsure if it would interest you, but I do have one. There's several really odd, enigmatic pictures that have been around a long time, like "Guy in a tuxedo holding a sewing machine in front of an accident", and "Ugly androgynous person with ponytails wearing a butterfly t shirt holding a cigarette" (Not Creepy Ugly Guy). You're pretty good at hunting down information online, I think you would find all the answers, man.
I typed the first one into Google (as is, including quotations) and at the bottom of the first results page, found a CMU School of Computer Science (.edu) link where a dude called called Don Sheehy identifies it as himself. Could just be a dude saying a thing on the net, but him being (at the time at least) a computer science student absolutely makes sense in explaining that image lol.
It's great the things you find just by being a " TH-camr" or an individual recording, in general. I appreciate all that you TH-camrs do and please stay safe out here ! ❤
this is the first time i’ve heard anything about the Couch guy on any social media. he lived in East Bernstadt, and i passed his house every day on my way home from the gas station. i didn’t realize he was even caught this way. this is crazy haha
Same, cause if it was me I wouldn't have engaged with him at all. I've learned to ignore what seems like crazy and that's just because of personal experience. Then again I'm not a streamer so that probably wouldn't make for good content.
@ absolutely right. I’m glad the kid got found and got some help. He just came off as high to me I don’t think I would have caught on that he had mental illness. So good job on these streamers.
@Aerynaldie not too sure but people that knew here said she hung around a bunch of hippies. Apparently a bit after she was found she admitted to people she passed out from taking too much shrooms, woke up got dehydrated started wandering around.
i live SUPER close to the 2nd story and where the body was found. we had school cancelled for a whole week. It was crazy. No one rly knew of the couples account, because the news reported it like it was a fun date night for them. Really crazy (and scary) moment in our small town for real
it started out as a date night our plan was to eat and just to drive around exit 49 What started out as a date night God turned into a six day life changing event, God is Great and answered a lot of prayers
15:20 ... I'm 56 year-old. In US History class back in junior high, we studied the Hatfield and McCoy feud. Yes, folks, it was that big a deal that almost a century later some feud between generations of "backhill" folk were being studied by students in US history class. To me, hearing that yet again the McCoys are making headlines in the news is such a random fluke of how this world turns.
The woman broke her leg! You wouldn’t be able to manage your way out of the forest alone even if you could see a trail! The only people that’d think she staged her disappearance are the very ones who never leave the house and never even stepped foot in a forest! The closest they get to a forest is when it’s flying past their car windows on the way to Walmart!
I wonder how many days her leg was broken before her friend with the helicopter found her. Javier totally seems like the type of guy to have a cache of supplies and an extra phone hidden in the woods.
This is such a wonderful video you posted wavy... different from a lot of your content, this one sent good vibes all around (especially the ones found alive).
The fact my grandparents live just off the road in London Kentucky was scary! They were on their way to our house the same night that shooter was shooting and drove on that road 30 minutes before that happened!😢 We actually know Couch’s mother because she works with my aunt. Anyways yeah I just thought I’d share! 😅
@bkay1102 probably someone paid for it, or maybe he was squatting. most hotels require a credit card, so it probably wasnt him using money from begging
I use to live in London KY (I live in TN now.) but man I still remember the whole Joseph Couch situation since I still have family living there and man it was crazy. Schools were closed for at least a week, there was even kids that were sending threats saying they were going to shoot up the school just to get out of school. I mean people were just out of there minds they was at one point sending hate to a radio station just for sending updates on which counties closed school for "Giving the killer info on which schools to target." It was a crazy few weeks.
7:46 Currently not very far into the video but I am so relieved Troy was found. He seems sweet and schizophrenia isn’t something you can control. Big hug to him and his family! He got me crying at 8 pm on a monday 🫣🥲
Woah, the second segment about the Hatfield McCoy team finding Joe Couch happened in my town, London Ky. I got sent gnarly pictures of the body by someone watching their livestream live when they found the body. The woods of Appalachia really gets rid of a body quick, I'll put it that way. A whole episode of Planet Earth ate on that guy.
the search of the woods had been called off a few days prior had we not found him when we did a couple more days there would have been nothing left. God lead us to Mr. Couch's remains
ngl the first story gave me alot of respect to lacy the way he criticized his friend with the camera over not telling him what happened gave me way more respect then alot of the other irl streamers

Volunteer divers found a missing woman in her car right by me. She was in a retention pond on Disney world property. I drove by it daily
Adventures with Purpose is also being led by a pdf file who is trying to a-buse his former employees. Don't give his channel views. Apparently he takes advantage of a LOT of those families.
Untill 2024 they have found 39 missing loved one. And other grp that they co oped with has also gone on to return lost ones in other areas. Exploring with Nug, Depth of history, Chaos divers and more. 🎉
@@rocketbilly came to say this, I used to love adventures with purpose until I learned about what jared was really like, a lot of people try to excuse it by saying it was a long time ago and he is now a good person but fuck no, he can rot in hell.
I remember when Mr. Couch was on the run, I’m in PA and remember thinking how scary that must be. Thanks to Fred and Sheila for finding him! They really showed a level of compassion most people wouldn’t have had by apologizing to his family. They truly are great people.
too kind thank you,
I’m sometimes glad that irl streamers exist for this reason. I’m glad Troy got back to his family considering his condition, it can be dangerous for schizophrenic people to be by themselves.I hope he got the help he needed.
A middle aged couple hitting the woods with a rifle for a 35000 bounty is the most American thing I’ve ever heard.
Fuck yeah
And responding to finding the corpse of a mass killer with "Oh my lanta!" is just the cherry on top
@@corlettwYEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
I love the focus of the positives these YTers did. IRL streamers are some of the most annoying, so I am glad to see them being of use. Thanks WWS!
Great video. Maybe you could make a sequel to this video, HeavyDsparks is a TH-camr that does heavy machinery recovery and once found the remains of a missing woman in a mineshaft. I think him and his team have also found other people too.
It's wild how people can see someone come back from a life or death situation like that and immediately start treating them like garbage just because they were happy to have survived.
Wavy you're the only TH-camr i've seen cover anything about the Joseph Couch situation. Being on 75, and barely missing it was a truly terrifying experience. We were all locked down for 2 weeks, and were at home listening to police scanners. Just to find out he offed himself moments after the shooting.
**Finds dead body** "Oh mylanta"
Most would have trouble getting out of bed with the flu, let alone going on a trek through those woods. That journey would be exhausting enough in good health.
Yeah I don't know what bubble you love on, but I worked through 3 months of pneumonia, and most I know work through worse. @@thekidfromiowa

Me, my wife and two of our best friends were on our way back from Possum Fest in Cumberland Kentucky when the Kentucky highway sniper incident occurred. We were literally 30 seconds out from the area it happened, while it was happening. So glad no one lost their life during the incident, but knowing we were so close to being involved in it has haunted me ever since.
Another instance of when a TH-camr found a missing person is Exploring With Josh.
While exploring a cave, the TH-camr found this missing girl who was separated from her parents but couldn't speak English.
That one threw me for a loop, if they didn't push on, she would've been part of a cold case or worse
Woah I gotta check this out
That one was wild, no way would she have survived if they hadn't come across her.
Yeah she was in a part of the cave most people wouldn’t have tried to push in to since it was so small. And it was pitch black, she didn’t have a flashlight. Scary.
That’s been debunked
I bet there’s a little part of that McCoy couple’s minds that’s like, “Suck it Hatfield’s, don’t see y’all on the news.” 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂
21:40 "as news of her rescue spread like wildfire" brooo nooo not when you're talking about Hawaii 😭😭
ON THE ISLAND THAT CAUGHT FIRE TOO IS CRAZY
From Hawai'i and this made me gasp and then laugh cause what a choice of words 😂
I’d like to see the haters go live in the forest for 17 days! Sure, she could have prepared herself better, but how many “experienced” hikers get lost or worst dead. To say she did this for publicity and money just shows how clinical this world can be. Years ago a woman died while hiking the Appalachian Trail. She starved to death yet was something like 200 yards to a road. A forest surveyor found her tent years later. Not everyone has alternative motives, sometimes things just suck.
Exactly! I’m just glad she survived
From Hawai'i, there was a rumor of her being on shrooms and that's why she got lost.
It's just sad what this world has come to 😢
There were a lot of questions about this case. I remember people saying the timing of the goFundMe and her discovery were suspicious. She also left her phone in the car - NO ONE DOES THAT. It was just weird...
She also didn't follow the water down stream like any one else would. If she had, she would have been out of Makawao forest real quick.
seeing him legitimately pissed at his cameraman makes you think he's a decently good guy when off camera, but the camera man is not.
you have the most simple brain in the world
@@oliviahyerobrineand your brain is smooth and has no ridges whatsoever
I’d love a part 2 to this sort of video. It was really interesting!
Ah, yes, degrade a woman who has been lost for 17 days, who broke her leg during those 3 weeks, all because she's too positive. The internet at it's finest 👍
I can say with a fair deal of confidence that the people saying those things have just never met a hippie. Like, wandering off into the woods with no phone, gear or supplies, surviving on berries for seventeen days while getting severe sunburn and breaking your leg, and finding it to be a spiritual experience, is about as hippie as you can get 😅
@@ericclubb3761 I’m like that as well, you’re not alone! ❤
Because her story is extremely suspicious.
5:20 as someone who has a medical condition that causes me to be unable to care for myself (focal epilepsy), i love to hear that there are still people out there that will help those in a rough situation.
Hide and seek is my dad’s favorite game! We’re still on the same round 35 years later.
What a champ!
You too huh? 😢
Thought I was the only one😅
I been playing freeze tag with mine but my dad won't unfreeze when I touch him and he is taking this game literally he is cold to touch.
Ngl your mum knows more then she’s telling you 😂
Wow, so dark and funny.
13:15 honestly didn’t know people actually said “Oh my Lanta” other than DJ in Full House
its very north country
I live in KY and I’d never heard it in my life until I watched their live stream. I had to google it. Lmao.
If u cuss, the Jesus will take away your birthday. It's true. It's in the Bible.
Lol pretty much every teacher in my school does
My mind went to Full House too lol.
The people critizing the lady who was missing for 17 days because she seemed too happy is actually insane.
Like shut up
Yeah like her saying it was a spirit journey or whatever is weird but who would want to pretend to go missing for 17 days??
@@Jynxxx5 all types of people like this kind of attention
Still she didnt fake it @@FirstLast-dh8ks
@@Jynxxx5 Exactly. Like she broke her leg, who breaks their leg for content that was even being recorded 😭 Of course she didn't take her stuff with her, it was suppose to just be a hike
Its probably moreso that she is a mainlander who see’s Hawaii as this wispy, spiritual place she can have fun in and in doing so displacing/ making it harder for locals (native Hawaiians) to live on their land.
Its a very complicated issue in Hawaii and I recognize that these sentiments shouldnt carry over broadly to every “haole” or scenario (such as this one), but thats is very likely where these sentinments are coming from.
In Hawaii locals are often frustrated by transplants of fetishize their culture/ homeland while also making it harder for them to live there.
Im from East KY and that manhunt was wild to watch unfold in real time.
What I love about your videos is that you keep talking about people and stories that I haven't heard before. You aren't repetitive! You're my number one favorite TH-cam channel!
second couple seem like genuinely sweet folk, gonna go sub to them, thanks Wavy (also you're once again rocking the Sopranos wiseguy fit, I respect it)
Thank you
So glad Troy was found, I'm not on social media for many reasons but I'm happy that something good came of it as I've seen enough of so called content creators on TH-cam and think most of them are useless.
Are you joking, anyone who says they wouldn't also have been a little sketched out by that first kid is a liar
that last story was heartwarming that guy was screaming his head off in celebration after finding her was awesome
Adventures With Purpose do a lot of good work in missing person recovery. I can’t watch their videos often, too heavy for me, but they give people who’ve been lost for years the answers. Though, as they say, it’s never truly closure.
The first story about Troy Coleman was something. I figured he was the missing person based on his behavior. I'm glad he's okay and back home with his family.
The camera man not stopping that kid is infuriating.
It’s impressive how coincidental this world can be sometimes.
Right? it might even lead one to not believe in coincidence at all
The last story is just another example of how crazy people online are. She was found alive so now lets twist it into she was just a runaway drug addict and not just a person who got lost and needed help.
There are people in this comment section calling her disappearance suspicious. Like even if she was a runaway addict, does that mean she deserves to die lost in a forest?!
About hiker safety, we can tell people "don't hike there" or block "off the beaten path" or "secret" trails, people will still continue to hike there despite being told "no you can't/shouldn't go there".
I've played way too much Cities Skylines. Everytime there's an aerial shot of the city, I'm like: "ooh nice, I could do that".
Javier’s joy when they found here is so amazing
Interestingly enough, Joseph Couch’s dad was killed in a hit and run down the street from my sisters house a few weeks ago. His killer also took off into the woods and caused a man hunt.
That's wild.
how about looking into strange or bizarre laws and what events or people inspired them? or maybe since there are so many videos featuring villains you could showcase heroes nobody expected.
uploaded just as i was getting back into watching the channel, life is good
I don't care for these IRL streamers, but I feel the first guys handled that kid perfectly, my only complaint being the camera guy not reacting quicker, which they themselves pointed out.
I'm from London ky, that was a scary night for sure. I stayed up all night listening to the scanner and watching the police helicopters searching for him online. They were literally flying all around his body for hours, its so crazy those two found him.
I was hoping for a longer video. They've been shorter lately. Still happy to have a new one to watch though. Thanks Wavy
Sadly, there's only so many crazy stories in niche circumstances he can talk about. Can't imagine that finding missing people as a streamer/TH-camr is very common
Quality over quantity
These things have a tendency of adding stress to content creation. Quality/content an all that
Leave it to a Buffs fan to complain.
@@Randymarsh402 what a weird thing to comment.
This is a positive side to social media..Great video..
I have only watched the first case,I can't imagine what the family went through I'm just so glad he was found ☮️✨☮️✨
I know you always ask us to say what we might like you to look into in the comments, but I never have because I'm unsure if it would interest you, but I do have one. There's several really odd, enigmatic pictures that have been around a long time, like "Guy in a tuxedo holding a sewing machine in front of an accident", and "Ugly androgynous person with ponytails wearing a butterfly t shirt holding a cigarette" (Not Creepy Ugly Guy). You're pretty good at hunting down information online, I think you would find all the answers, man.
I typed the first one into Google (as is, including quotations) and at the bottom of the first results page, found a CMU School of Computer Science (.edu) link where a dude called called Don Sheehy identifies it as himself. Could just be a dude saying a thing on the net, but him being (at the time at least) a computer science student absolutely makes sense in explaining that image lol.
I love your channel, and I love the variety of topics that you cover. The fact that you include POSITIVE stories makes it even better!
It's great the things you find just by being a " TH-camr" or an individual recording, in general. I appreciate all that you TH-camrs do and please stay safe out here ! ❤
this is the first time i’ve heard anything about the Couch guy on any social media. he lived in East Bernstadt, and i passed his house every day on my way home from the gas station. i didn’t realize he was even caught this way. this is crazy haha
"Oh Mylanta" 😂
Love all the consistent content lately keep it up
7:44 I thought the guys were perfectly nice enough. I wouldn’t sit there and converse with that kid he looked freaky.
Same, cause if it was me I wouldn't have engaged with him at all. I've learned to ignore what seems like crazy and that's just because of personal experience. Then again I'm not a streamer so that probably wouldn't make for good content.
@ absolutely right. I’m glad the kid got found and got some help. He just came off as high to me I don’t think I would have caught on that he had mental illness. So good job on these streamers.
Oh man that last one, how great that her friend was the one to find her 😭 unrelated, your hair is looking great recently, man!
She went into the woods, with no gear, being guided by a voice. My brother in life, she was mentally ill all along. 24:56
the moment she said she was guided by a voice I was like "Mental illness big dog"
@@Aerynaldie Coulda been on some good acid/shrooms too and just wont admit that lmao. Calling the journey "spiritual" is on par
Nah this was stressful here in hawaii, she was high off of shrooms. She wasted a lot of resources.
@ oh real shit? You think that’s why she ended up moving to Minnesota?
@Aerynaldie not too sure but people that knew here said she hung around a bunch of hippies. Apparently a bit after she was found she admitted to people she passed out from taking too much shrooms, woke up got dehydrated started wandering around.
My man wavy had to say "spread like wildfire" when referencing Hawaii 😂 dang bruh too soon
I’ve watched this video twice since I’m all caught up with all your uploads. Love your videos dude
i live SUPER close to the 2nd story and where the body was found. we had school cancelled for a whole week. It was crazy. No one rly knew of the couples account, because the news reported it like it was a fun date night for them. Really crazy (and scary) moment in our small town for real
it started out as a date night our plan was to eat and just to drive around exit 49 What started out as a date night God turned into a six day life changing event, God is Great and answered a lot of prayers
This was a good upload. I can't relate to the ones about gaming and TikTok etc so I enjoyed this one. Just wished it were longer 😉
15:20 ... I'm 56 year-old. In US History class back in junior high, we studied the Hatfield and McCoy feud. Yes, folks, it was that big a deal that almost a century later some feud between generations of "backhill" folk were being studied by students in US history class.
To me, hearing that yet again the McCoys are making headlines in the news is such a random fluke of how this world turns.
actually Hatfield and McCoy, my G grandmother was Nancy Hatfield, my G grandfather was Asa McCoy
The dopamine that fills my body when there’s a new wavywebsurf video
Great video Wavywebsurf, thanks Fred & Shelia McCoy
Damn good timing to me, I was looking for something to watch! Nice!
Oh my, I hope this isn't a dark ending video :(
13:20 I'm definitely adding "On Mylanta!" to my lexicon. That shit was hilarious.
The woman broke her leg! You wouldn’t be able to manage your way out of the forest alone even if you could see a trail! The only people that’d think she staged her disappearance are the very ones who never leave the house and never even stepped foot in a forest! The closest they get to a forest is when it’s flying past their car windows on the way to Walmart!
"How dare you almost die, random hiker"
People are so cool...
I wonder how many days her leg was broken before her friend with the helicopter found her.
Javier totally seems like the type of guy to have a cache of supplies and an extra phone hidden in the woods.
Perhaps one of my favorite videos to date! Fantastic job my guy!
Posted only nine minutes ago?!
Mmm, freshly baked quality Wavy.
This is such a wonderful video you posted wavy... different from a lot of your content, this one sent good vibes all around (especially the ones found alive).
The fact my grandparents live just off the road in London Kentucky was scary! They were on their way to our house the same night that shooter was shooting and drove on that road 30 minutes before that happened!😢 We actually know Couch’s mother because she works with my aunt. Anyways yeah I just thought I’d share! 😅
I was happy you did follow ups on these folks. Great job!
wavy, you remind me of my old math teacher who would make us dance to 90s music every time class ended😭
Love the videos thanks for keeping me entertained on days I don't feel like doing anything
i loved this video! please do more of this topic, it was super interesting
classic wavy banger, never would have heard about these stories without you
If you do a part 2 I would definitely include Exploring with Nugg
yes! his discovery of erin foster and jeremy bechtel was incredible
Wavy, you are GLOWING man, and this video is another 10/10 let's gooo
better get the popcorn for this
“Oh mylanta” Im going to quote this forever 😭😭
The camera man stated “What did you want me say?” Well, I’ll tell you comatose, YOU SEE SOMETHING, YOU DAY SOMETHING IMMEDIATELY.
I went to high school with Joseph Couch. I moved away from that area 10 years ago but still have lots of family there. That was a crazy week.
How did the first teenager pay for the hotel?
That's my thoughts
Probably begging for change/money
Maybe someone paid? Or money he made begging
@bkay1102 probably someone paid for it, or maybe he was squatting. most hotels require a credit card, so it probably wasnt him using money from begging
I use to live in London KY (I live in TN now.) but man I still remember the whole Joseph Couch situation since I still have family living there and man it was crazy. Schools were closed for at least a week, there was even kids that were sending threats saying they were going to shoot up the school just to get out of school. I mean people were just out of there minds they was at one point sending hate to a radio station just for sending updates on which counties closed school for "Giving the killer info on which schools to target." It was a crazy few weeks.
I'm not at all surprised that the descendents of the McCoys have compassion for the shooter and his family. They are in a unique position.
7:46 Currently not very far into the video but I am so relieved Troy was found. He seems sweet and schizophrenia isn’t something you can control. Big hug to him and his family! He got me crying at 8 pm on a monday 🫣🥲
I always enjoy your content 👍🏼
i got pulled over while watching this video for front windshield tint, just wanted to put that out there 😭
Woah, the second segment about the Hatfield McCoy team finding Joe Couch happened in my town, London Ky.
I got sent gnarly pictures of the body by someone watching their livestream live when they found the body. The woods of Appalachia really gets rid of a body quick, I'll put it that way. A whole episode of Planet Earth ate on that guy.
the search of the woods had been called off a few days prior had we not found him when we did a couple more days there would have been nothing left. God lead us to Mr. Couch's remains
Nice work Mr. and Mrs. McCoy. Good job using nature to find that guy. Semper Fi.
When officials say “improve hikers safety” they mean restricting countless miles of public land to hikers entirely. Hawaii is a joke
