Summerfield local here. There's absolutely nothing here. We're a rural agricultural area. Our biggest attraction is the nearby drag racing and antique car museum owned by legendary racer "Big Daddy" Don Garlits. I personally knew this family, as did many of us in the area. To say we were absolutely devastated is a massive understatement. I'm shocked that my insignificant little town is getting any coverage, as we locals feel that this story was all but completely overlooked. Thank you for bringing light to a long-forgotten community and one of our biggest heartbreaking tragedies.
I thought this was a reupload but realized a different channel covered this case fairly recently. Matter of fact I think there are a few channels that have covered this case but only somewhat recently. I guess I just watch a lot of true crime. I can only imagine how much this shook your town. The craziest thing that ever happened in my town was a kid in my class's father, shot his wife dead and then shot himself. He flinched so the bullet went in from the bottom of his chin and out of the side of his jaw. He lived and sits in jail. Sadly, the kid in my grade, the son, just took his own life a month or so ago. Sad sad stuff people can get into.
@@DPSFSU that's awful. I'm glad the father survived to face the consequences of his depravity. Yeah, news of this case hit our town like a nuke. We're one of those map dot towns that you hear about in country music songs. Almost everyone here had interactions them in some manner.
@DPSFSU I thought the same exact thing. I kept looking at when it was uploaded, knowing for sure that I had seen it. But it said 58 minutes ago so I must have seen it recently, very recently on a different channel. I was so confused at first. Lol.
Thank u "lmfao 'skunk ape' but if u can refrain 4rm this type of disparaging text in the future We would all greatly appreciate it because although not related 2 the victim I very much dislike ur attempt to shift any attention on what was truly meant 2 b highlighted... Shame on u
I live in a similarly peaceful place where nothing big ever happens. The murder of four little children and their mother would have been devastating to the whole community. Minus this horrific tragedy, this sounds like a place I would have loved to live!
I'm not sure in FL but in my country, what the landlord did is an obstruction of justice. The penalty is up to 6 years imprisonment, or a fine, or both.
He shouldn't have had a choice. He tried cleaning up a crime scene and that alone should have put him in jail for tampering with evidence. Why did they allow this? It really pissed me off. Could you imagine being so heartless that you try to clean up a death just so you could move people in? If he didn't know someone died there, I would wonder what the fuck he was on.
@@dreaescobar7257because that’s a sane response and outlook? He knowingly aided in a crime by having the scene of a crime cleaned, where the four bodies of children and a mother were slain. Your response is callous and concerning. A crime is a crime, hopefully you or your own family don’t find yourself in a similar situation and some idiot on the internet tell’s your loved one “oh well, go cry about it” 🙄 Moronic as hell.
Summerfield local here. The landlord is a known slumlord. He was more interested in getting another tenant. The dude is definitely not a popular person around here.
Greedy turd trying to protect his rent $$ - once there's been a murder at a property it's very hard to rent or sell. Pretty clear he tried to cover up the murder scene.
@@jokesonyou1373 I've rented from a few really decent people. My last landlord used to call me at least twice a month to ask if everything with the house was okay. He sent my family and I gifts on Christmas and on the kids' birthdays. When I got laid-off he waived three months rent in trade for me doing some yard work at his house. Heck, he even bought us groceries and paid the power bill for me during that time. Good landlords exist, they're just rare.
The amount of time Casey and the children could be missing and no one calls police is truly disturbing. The children absolutely could've been saved if someone had called police when they hadn't heard from Casey. It's so horribly sad.
There are a lot of cases like this. The murderer keeps contacting families like he was the victim and somehow get away with it for a while until somebody suspicious enough to do something.
@@FlamingBasketballClub I'm not sure that fits here. That's more like witnessing an event with others around. His own ex never even asked him where his family was. That seems very odd.
The absolute worst part of this is how long he thought about what he was going to do. He could've just skipped town, but he made a deliberate decision to hurt his children over and over again.
When you are a child, the people you trust the most without second guessing anything are your parents. And once their mother was gone, they only had him. Not only that they were probably confused why their mother suddenly disappeared and probably trusted everything he said, the last image each of them had was the person they love and trust hurting and killing them like this. I’m appalled and heartbroken.
I can't stop thinking about the fact that strangling and drowning means he had to look into their eyes, see the confusion and terror, feel the adrenaline in their bodies while they fought for their lives....and just held on. And just kept doing it. They were sweet innocent babies.
Funny story, I actually met Brandon Call at a shuffleboard tournament years back. I was star-struck. I got my first taste of the Hollywood limelight, and I was in a state of transcendental ecstatic bliss. My chest swayed, my eyes rolled back in my head and I gasped, "Brandon Call, right? From Step by Step." He acknowledged me with a gleeful smirk and a proud nod. "That's me." Sprawled on the concrete, writhing in ecstacy, I managed to garble out a few more words, "they don't make shows like that anymore." He agreed and proceeded down the boardwalk hand in hand with his supple wife. It's impressively gracious that a man of such caliber would ever grace my presence, let alone stoop to the level of the common man for a humble chat. Since then, I've reflected back on that day with great reverence pondering where would we be now if back when even before they made shows like that, we all got to experience a certain level of precision entertainment that people were never able to get when they can't even watch it before they did it now! I'll miss those days. 🫖 ❤️ 🍿
@@NuttinChunkySpunk What the hell has that got to do with this multiple murders case, no one but you cares about how you stanned over a Z list celebrity
Even if the family has a habit of going silent and disappearing you should NEVER wait so long to report them. The lives that couldve been saved and the quicker they couldve caught him is so important. I have a habit of self-isolating and going silent when im overwhelmed and its because of that my mother makes sure to ALWAYS check on me when she thinks im acting odd. I cant believe the family was ok with no seeing their relatives for TWO months and not thinking to call the cops. Thats just strange
I believe it. I haven't seen or spoken to my family in months. Sure I am active on social media but they don't really know if its me. I mean it is, not trying to be dramatic but some families aren't close and going that long without contact can be normal.
It’s sick to know there are so many idiotic monsters out there who don’t see that life in prison or a death sentence is way worse than just leaving or divorcing someone.
when you are a child and you are being abused in someway emotionally , or physically etc. you have to look back on that and realize that you have a choice not to be your parents. I did. My heart goes out to all the people affected by this horrific and unbelievable tragedy.
I dont understand why he couldn't drop the boys with their dad, take the girls to their grandmother & run away. Even then, he'd have caused a lot of pain but this is unimaginable. RIP all the victims of this monster, I pray the family can get the strength to cope with this loss.
Thanks for finally covering this case, I have been waiting for other crime channel to cover this. Casei and my wife were very close friends growing up and into adult hood. When this occurred - no one saw it coming, nor did anyone know the situation at their residence was that dire or that he was capable of this. Anytime I think about it, I get so angry at the loss of such innocent lives, then to hear he just keep them around in the back of the van, fermenting for weeks, it's just down right degrading. My wife can't even see her name without crying uncontrollably, let alone thinking of the memories they had together.
His justification that the children could now "all be with their mother" is so gross, my mouth actually fell open when I heard it! It made me sick to my stomach.
That had to be the lamest excuse for a family annihilation. Had he spared the kids he would had likely only received a second degree murder charge, but he just couldn't help himself ruining more lives, in two separate occasions no less over weeks. It's beyond comprehension.
@@12thDecember I'd say it's probably a bit of that, along with: • Not wanting/being able to take care of 4 kids on his own (even just 2 if the bio dad took the 2 boys) • Not wanting to be reminded of what he did to their mom, and last, but by no means least: • Simply being an unadulterated POS.
I remember this case... It's truly one of those horrific ones you just can't forget. What he did, regardless of psychotic break, or prolonged abuse.. those kids didn't deserve it. When he dropped them off for that week or two that was his chance, that was his chance to say I'm not going to fetch them the further they are from me the safer they'll be. But he turned around got them and then did the unthinkable. Didn't know about the detail about the property owner not letting the police investigate properly. As always great coverage Adrian. Thank you!!!
Hey Adrian! Heard of the Senzo Meyiwa murder?? He was a South African soccer player/captain for the Orlando Pirates. He was murdered 9 years ago at his mistress's mother's home. There is alot of cover up going on in that case and 5 men stand accused for a murder they probably did not commit as it is quiet evident that the shooter was already in the house when the young, promising star was fatally shot. In the house were his mistress, her mother and sister,the sister's bf and the deceased's so called best friend. I think it might interest you to cover the case.
Did you hear of Sibusiso Mpungose's case? That guy who killed all his children and stepdaughter because the wife was planning on leaving him? Crazy like this guy hey
I blame becoming a father within the last year, but this story angered me more than any other crime story that's been reviewed. That fact he can do that not only to his wife, but to his children as well just leaves me speechless. Whatever his outcome, I hope justice is truly served.
And kids that aren’t even his!!!! He could have let the dad have them!!!! Outrageous. It’s not like there weren’t other people willing to love those babies.
I may be wrong, but she wasn't 5 years older than him. I believe that he was born on 05/01/1981 and she was born 12/23/1986. Making him like 5 years her senior. I dunno I'm probably wrong.🤔 But either way my family and I love love your channel. Thanks for all of this awesome content. You're seriously one of the top channels that make up the majority of my TH-cam in app time.
This story is so terrifying. I just hope the kids weren’t aware of what was happening around them. Especially with the events of the children occurring on different days
When you hear the full details of how he sent the kids away while considering to kill them or not. Then killed a couple. He claims to have almost given the kids to someone instead of killing them. I just keep thinking of how they almost were saved.
Unfortunately those older children would have both seen and hears a lot of things. A lot of people have advised not to read the full details of what they went through....that says it all.
Being abused as a child is not a reason to kill you whole family. I certainly hope he gets the death penalty and not stay on death row for years at tax payer’s expenses. As always Adrian it’s such a pleasure to listen to you telling the story. Your show of respect to the victims is really appreciated. It’s heartbreaking to hear that type of story but at the same time it raises awareness in all of us. I just hope that after this story people will be kinder to their friends, families and neighbors and pay more attention considering that it took 66 days before the alarm was raised of a whole family missing. I wonder why the landlord refused to give a simple answer to a simple question asked by the police.
Wow, this story is devastating on so many levels. You, as always did a fantastic job at telling the story respectfully. I can't begin to imagine the pain the family is left with.
I was watching a 5 month old video of yours right now when I got the notification for this one thank you CC for your uploads. I like that you also have a deep respect for the victims in every story you cover.
Oh Adrian this would have to be one of the saddest case's you've or anyone has ever covered...may those poor children RIP 😥💜 and hopefully that "father" gets what he should get...thankyou again for the respect you always show for the victims and family left behind 😥
I just want to say thank you so much for always taking the time to really highlight the victim/victims in your videos. Not enough true crime content creators really explain in great detail who these people were and how special they were to their loved ones, and I just feel that is extremely important when telling their stories.
I’ve suffered from sexual abuse and assault as a child. Never killed anyone. Never even as much as pushed anyone. If you’ve faced abuse, you wouldn’t want to subject others to it because you know exactly what it feels like.
It depends on your brain wiring and how it's affected you.. Each person is unique.. My best friend was a better choice for me because my ex was abused and was abusive.. My son deserves better..
No not really, this was not a spur of the moment because your mistress agreed to help you out!! This was EVIL, pure EVIL at 4(!) different times that is so low he should be happy and accept his new apartment six feet under 🤬
Hey Adrian--loved the ticker displaying the days missing! I was watching some of your older videos (I'm a new fan) and your video editing has come a long way, really appreciate it, keep up the fantastic work! 🤓
You really never know anyone. You never know. But sometimes you meet people and they give you the chills and you wonder how they got a family who adores them.
I'm a Summerfield local. I personally knew both of them. My oldest daughter was in the same class as one of their girls. Folks in the area knew they had issues, but not to this extent. We honestly didn't think their troubles were anything but the normal family problems. Absolutely nobody here saw this coming.
I don't understand why the landlord was so hesitant to answer the officer's questions. Pleading the fifth and then asking the officer's to leave the property just seems so bizarre to me. What did he have to hide??🤔
I've had too many family members who post how happy they are on social 24/7 but behind closed doors we all know there's a lot of dysfunction and mistreatment. Please don't pretend to your family and friends.
This is all so sad and senseless. I can’t imagine him killing those poor children! It’s so heartbreaking! Why he did not just let them go, I have no idea. My sympathies to everyone impacted. May they all rest in peace. Great work , Adrian, as always 🖤
I still don't understand exactly what happened. It all seems so... without actual motive. Usually in these cases it would be clear cut, this guy doesn't want a family anymore and murdered them. This guy, I don't understand his motive.
@@younce-davis952 I don't think there was a motive to begin with; at least not in Casei's case. Given that all living parties confirmed the relationship was highly volatile at best, and actually abusive at worst, I believe that Michael was telling the truth (or at least, partially) when he described the sequence of events leading to Casei's death as "an argument that got out of hand"; as it's often the case in turbulent relationships before someone gets hurt. They argued, things turned ugly, and Casei said/did something to anger Michael so much, he grabbed the bat and then proceeded to beat her to death. Now he's a killer, even though it wasn't his intention to take her life, nor he has a rational reason for it; he "just" snapped, letting all of his anger, frustration and instable mind to take control and this was the result. A very tragic event, but again, not an uncommon ending for an abusive relationship. And then things began to spiral; because it wasn't a planned crime, Michael had to scramble to think of how to cover this unfortunate event to the best of his ability, without anyone noticing. That's why I think he didn't surrender the children to their respective relatives - he just didn't want anyone to get suspicious about Casei's sudden disappearence. Days went by, and he still hadn't had no solution how to deal with the whole situation without getting caught. Being older and not his children, the boys might have started to ask for their mom and stopped buying his explanations anymore, and that's likely why they were the next to die; at this point, I believe Michael was in a survival mode and simple stopped caring about anyone but himself, which would culminate in the arguably worst offense for many - the death of his own children, because he had rather taken his little girls' lives (rationalised in his sick mind as it's better for them to die, than to live without their mom) than to turn himself in, facing the justice for what he had done. Now, I'm not saying this is exactly what had happened; just that it all makes sense given the evidence and testimonies of all parties involved. Either way, it's so sad that Michael couldn't have accepted the responsibility for Casei's death, sparing the children's lives and ironically even his own, as he would've been charged with "only" a second degree murder, evading the death penalty.
Those poor babies! My heart truly aches for Casey and her beautiful children. They didn't deserve any of it, and their chances at living was so unfairly ripped away from them! ❤ sending them endless love and prayers on the other side.
This level of raw, monstrous, subhuman violence from a person who is supposed to love his wife and children always leaves me acquiescent to the evil that is possible in human beings. It irritates me to no end when mentally ill people don't seek out help, or when they do, so many with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder or anything with psychotic symptoms end up non-compliant with their medications.
I am staggered that the family went so long without hearing from anyone. I am truly shocked. No matter what abuse we may have endured NOTHING excuses doing what this man has done let alone anything else. Go & get yourself help
Not going to lie, I binge these videos and they’re narrated and produced perfectly but thus far this was the hardest case I’ve listened to. Having children myself it makes me feel sick to my stomach that someone could do this, not just to the mother but to 4 innocent children who couldn’t defend themselves. Especially his two small girls. Honestly makes me so upset inside. Not sure what else to say. Just heartbreaking on all levels.
Thank you sir for all the research, time and effort you put into each case. And I think it is amazing how you always bring such care and love and respect for the victims and their families. You have a beautiful heart and soul. Love from Wyoming USA
Sometimes these human experiences leave me physically wounded. I've lived a long life and have seen us as human beings devolve to the point of this evil. But my heart and soul hurt so bad that sharing these stories and the life pain they cause, it still continues. Sometimes the warm coffee cup in my hand becomes cold as I cry over the loss of such innocence. By hands that should embrace and nurture. Adrian, this is why the coffeehouse kitty is so important for me to see. It helps keep that cup warm. Thank you.
This story makes me so very sad. That poor Mother and Children. One of my biggest fears is weeks going by and none of my "family or friends" even noticing if I've gone missing, that'sjust how much attention they pay to me. It weighs on my heart and brings tears to my eyes sometimes. Check on your people, Folks!
Life in prison. I think it's more of a punishment than death. I would say he has to relive what he did everyday but then again he probably has no conscience.
As a Summerfield local and native Floridian, I am absolutely opposed to keeping him alive. I don't want a single penny of my tax money feeding this slug of a man. I say that as someone who knows him personally. I say we drag Ol' Sparky out for one more go and make his end as terrible as humanly possible. Firing squad would also be an acceptable alternative. He is absolutely undeserving of clemency, compassion, or any other consideration paid to humans.
Agree completely, and what most don't realize is that it's actually cheaper on average than the appeals process the death penalty entails. I don't consider oblivion a good punishment.
@@McCammalot Too many people get the death penalty while innocent, so I am for nationwide legislation against it. I am neutral in this case, to be specific. As long as he does not leave prison alive.
Thank you for this video Adrian the way you narrated this tragedy made the severity and horror of the crimes more bearable to listen to and watch. It's truly horrific what happened to those four little angels. Just imagining what they were thinking during the time their father and stepfather were stealing their lives frightens me. As I have said time and time again, I don't believe in rehabilitation and life imprisonment for this type of criminal. Rapists, pedophiles, sexual offenders, serial killers should be sentenced to death.
Has anybody else noticed how so many of these horrific crimes seem to happen in August? Every one of these I watch seems to occur at this time, quite strange.
Totally devastating case. No matter what this man went through in his childhood, it is not an excuse to try to justify what he did. I would usually say that life in prison is better so that the person can suffer, but I fully think this is not the case here, he comes across as cold and heartless, so the death penalty in my opinion. My sincere condolences to the loved ones 💔
Hello Adrian, I have recently started watching and must say that I ardently follow your every episode. I really like your presentation and narration and at times get so engulfed by what the victims have endured that at times I pause and then again continue. I am from Nepal and hope someday you will be able to cover some from this side as well. Best Wishes.
I also really like him. I also appreciate that he doesn't go into unnecessary, gory detail. We don't need to know every second of what happened, just a basic understanding of what happened.
remember, pals: if you go missing, your landlord is FAR more likely to prep your home for a new resident than to make any effort to support your safe return. chances are decent they'd tell you as much personally if you were to ask them.
their whole livelihood rests on dangling shelter over your head and projecting their own laziness onto you; someone who genuinely cares for you will not do this. they don't provide shelter, they gatekeep it instead of contributing to the community with real work like everyone else.
Such a sad story! I would love to hear how would you describe Bangladesh 🇧🇩 if you ever decide to cover any of criminal cases from our country. Love your presentation of every videos.
@@Josie2013 yeah and why would he technically help this guy get away with murder so messed up. He just wanted to rent and make $ than have his cash cow get closed down as a murder scene.
She covered for him and he didn't butt an eye to eliminate her and the kids. That was the red flag that she needed to move out for good😢What a Tragic end
I think death penalty is “too easy”, he should get life without parole so he has good time to think about what he has done!! Let the 4 beautiful children haunt him 🖤. Thank you for another horrific but great true crime story. 🤗 from 🇳🇴
That ex-wife would have chills down her spine upon knowing she and her kids were living with a serial killer all this time---and probably he was showing them normal 'father' behavior while they were together. Daaamn!
You might consider covering the murder of Robert Solomine Jr. It's an older case that happened on February 16, 1992, in New Jersey. A 20-year-old man named Frank Castaldo enticed a group of teenagers to murder a classmate they found annoying. Three of the boys backed out at the last minute but didn't do much to stop their friend James Wanger from going through with the murder. The boys who backed out were sentenced to 12 to 15 years. James Wanger was sentenced to life in prison.
😢 I believe killing a child or children should be automatic death sentence with NO exceptions granted for mental illness or pleading guilty. Also, there should be a maximum number of years on death row, perhaps no more than 5 years or less, for appeal. Just saying.
@@s.r.823 I appreciate your view. But for what it costs to incarcerate violent offenders for their lifetime, including food, housing,security, medical care, laundry, and eduction, I’d rather divert funds and resources to children health services, or mental health treatment to prevent such tragedies in the future. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
@@kellyfalletta1949 I appreciate your thoughts too. But I think cruelty doesn´t help. It doesn´t bring back the dead. And I can´t understand how the death of a person can bring someone satisfaction even if it´s a bad person. Gives me goosebumps. Cruelty leads to more cruelty. And the risk is too hight to put an actual innocent person to death freaks me out.
@@s.r.823 I didn’t mention cruelty. And it isn’t about punishment, satisfaction or revenge. As you say, this won’t bring victims back. It’s about resources being allocated not housing those that have already been convicted of grievous crimes, but to helping prevent others from occurring. I think about lack of adequate mental healthcare in our country. I think how badly child welfare support services and staff are overwhelmed. Either might have prevented Jones from his own suffering or killing his family. But maybe, with more resources to those efforts, prevent future tragedies. I would certainly presume innocence until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. Which would require a very very strong burden of proof to convict and sentence a person to death. I would totally respect any fellow juror that says, “I know this person is totally guilty, but I will not ever personally sentence anyone to death”. That is perfectly acceptable. No one should ever make a decision that they might regret. 👍
@@kellyfalletta1949 I am actually glad I don´t have to live in America. I feel realy bad for all over there. But resources are a weak reason. People waiting on death row probably are as long in prison as a life sentenced one would. And bringing them befor court again and again for appealing costs in the end the same. And I still believe we shouldn´t get down to their level.
Hey thank you so much! I’m recording tomorrow morning, but I always go out for a coffee first to wake up and reflect on what I want to say in the upcoming video. Your coffee will fuel me! 🙌
I had a horrible abusive childhood and have never even thought of harming my family, death sentence. I think that the death sentence should be saved for cases exactly like this Edit: I’ve never thought of seriously harming anyone for that matter, last fight I got into was middle school. It’s not hard to not be violent
As a believer in the teachings of Jesus, I often struggle with the concepts of forgiveness and redemption. I'm 63, and most of my life I was in favor of the death penalty when I felt it was "appropriate" but the older I get, the less sure I am of that. I'm glad I wasn't on the jury. I would have had to ask the judge to dismiss me.
Veterinary Nurses exist in the USA, btw! They're a step above a Veterinary Technician and usually have some kind of 4 year degree. My local vet clinic has two on staff.
The videos are great and your coverage and the level of care and detail you provide on everything is beyond compare. However, I'd feel remiss if I didn't also mention how adorably cute you are, too.
Being a sufferer of mental health issues and also being a victim of abuse in my childhood I must say: not every gruesome and vile act can be the result of poor mental health. This guy killed his kids in cold blood. That is evil, simply evil.
So weird and scary that some people's first inclination is murder rather than figuring out how to help themselves and their families. Plead the 5th??? You cannot plead the 5th in this circumstance. He should have just not answered or said he didn't know! OMG. It is the US public education system at its best. 😞
Hi Adrian, I really enjoy your videos but I am wondering how you get all the footage of the locations you talk about. Do you pay people to film certain locations for you or is it drones or something? You always have amazing and clear footage of the places in your stories and I am desperate to know how you get all these shots. Thanks again from a guy from Australia.
Out of all your videos, this is the darkest one I have seen. Michael lacked any regard for human life, most likely rooted in his own history of abuse by father figures. Michael failed to understand how wrong his fathers were for abusing him (which explains why his teachers observed him as "lost and confused") and so Michael, having never processed how traumatic his experience was, repeated the same behavior that his fathers did to him but even worse.
I live in Ocala rn but I use to work for a energy company that covered most of summerfield named Seco Energy I was a meter reader for that company and my area was mostly summerfield and belview area and there is nothing but country and horse properties lol it’s a quiet area usually older folks live there
Wow. This one was extra rough. I had to eventually stop watching and put my phone face down and just listen to the rest of the story because it was tough looking at the pics of those babies hearing about what was done to them. I wish somebody would slowly guide this POS through a wood chipper. 😔

Shame on u
I live in a similarly peaceful place where nothing big ever happens. The murder of four little children and their mother would have been devastating to the whole community. Minus this horrific tragedy, this sounds like a place I would have loved to live!
That landlord, good gracious. Rather than report a crime, he cleans up and tries to rent the murder scene again for $$$. He knew.
He has a nasty reputation here in Summerfield. Before this, he was already known as a piece of work. His image has NOT improved.
I'm not sure in FL but in my country, what the landlord did is an obstruction of justice. The penalty is up to 6 years imprisonment, or a fine, or both.
He shouldn't have had a choice. He tried cleaning up a crime scene and that alone should have put him in jail for tampering with evidence. Why did they allow this?
It really pissed me off. Could you imagine being so heartless that you try to clean up a death just so you could move people in? If he didn't know someone died there, I would wonder what the fuck he was on.
Welcome to Florida
That landlord is shifty as hell. He clearly cleaned up a crime scene and was trying to get away with it.
I'd say
Oh well he got away with it why don’t you cry some more that’ll change things
@@dreaescobar7257 Why even send this to that person?
By your logic you're crying at their observation so what is the point?

@@dreaescobar7257 Make sure you zip up that landlords pants and wipe your mouth once you get off your knees.
The heck was wrong with the landlord?? There was obviously a murder in the house he was renting and he kicked the cops out? Shady, callous behavior.
Summerfield local here. The landlord is a known slumlord. He was more interested in getting another tenant. The dude is definitely not a popular person around here.
Non-Summerfield local here.When have you known a landlord to be anything else?? Pffft
Greedy turd trying to protect his rent $$ - once there's been a murder at a property it's very hard to rent or sell. Pretty clear he tried to cover up the murder scene.
@@SkunkApe407 that's all florida renters, honestly
@@jokesonyou1373 I've rented from a few really decent people. My last landlord used to call me at least twice a month to ask if everything with the house was okay. He sent my family and I gifts on Christmas and on the kids' birthdays. When I got laid-off he waived three months rent in trade for me doing some yard work at his house. Heck, he even bought us groceries and paid the power bill for me during that time. Good landlords exist, they're just rare.
The amount of time Casey and the children could be missing and no one calls police is truly disturbing. The children absolutely could've been saved if someone had called police when they hadn't heard from Casey. It's so horribly sad.
You're the sort of genius who calls police after an hour missing. then wonder why they dont trust us
@@gijane2cantwaittoseeyou203 fgs it was 2 months that's crazy long
There are a lot of cases like this. The murderer keeps contacting families like he was the victim and somehow get away with it for a while until somebody suspicious enough to do something.
Bystander effect possibly?
@@FlamingBasketballClub I'm not sure that fits here. That's more like witnessing an event with others around. His own ex never even asked him where his family was. That seems very odd.
Dude, even if the cases are extremely disturbing, the way you are narrating them is just so peaceful, you have a gift.
It's tht peaceful narrative that makes these gruesome and horrid cases even more jarring ..yea he has a gift truly 🎉
The odd curse word or personal critique is always appropriate...as if voicing the listener's thoughts...at precisely the correct moment...

Same with Brooke mckenna, definitely butchered the spelling on her last name 🤣
I agree that's y I like his Channel
very true, been binging this channel for 1 week and its surprisingly relaxing
The absolute worst part of this is how long he thought about what he was going to do. He could've just skipped town, but he made a deliberate decision to hurt his children over and over again.
When you are a child, the people you trust the most without second guessing anything are your parents. And once their mother was gone, they only had him. Not only that they were probably confused why their mother suddenly disappeared and probably trusted everything he said, the last image each of them had was the person they love and trust hurting and killing them like this. I’m appalled and heartbroken.
I thought about that 😢 the staggering deaths and they’d didn’t know what happened to their mother 😢😢😢😢
I can't stop thinking about the fact that strangling and drowning means he had to look into their eyes, see the confusion and terror, feel the adrenaline in their bodies while they fought for their lives....and just held on. And just kept doing it. They were sweet innocent babies.
Funny story, I actually met Brandon Call at a shuffleboard tournament years back.
I was star-struck.
I got my first taste of the Hollywood limelight, and I was in a state of transcendental ecstatic bliss. My chest swayed, my eyes rolled back in my head and I gasped, "Brandon Call, right? From Step by Step."
He acknowledged me with a gleeful smirk and a proud nod.
"That's me."
Sprawled on the concrete, writhing in ecstacy, I managed to garble out a few more words, "they don't make shows like that anymore."
He agreed and proceeded down the boardwalk hand in hand with his supple wife.
It's impressively gracious that a man of such caliber would ever grace my presence, let alone stoop to the level of the common man for a humble chat.
Since then, I've reflected back on that day with great reverence pondering where would we be now if back when even before they made shows like that, we all got to experience a certain level of precision entertainment that people were never able to get when they can't even watch it before they did it now!
I'll miss those days. 🫖 ❤️ 🍿
@@NuttinChunkySpunk irrelevant and ur a noob for idolising hollweird creeps
@@NuttinChunkySpunk What the hell has that got to do with this multiple murders case, no one but you cares about how you stanned over a Z list celebrity
Even if the family has a habit of going silent and disappearing you should NEVER wait so long to report them. The lives that couldve been saved and the quicker they couldve caught him is so important. I have a habit of self-isolating and going silent when im overwhelmed and its because of that my mother makes sure to ALWAYS check on me when she thinks im acting odd. I cant believe the family was ok with no seeing their relatives for TWO months and not thinking to call the cops. Thats just strange
I believe it. I haven't seen or spoken to my family in months. Sure I am active on social media but they don't really know if its me. I mean it is, not trying to be dramatic but some families aren't close and going that long without contact can be normal.
I do not understand how any of the family members waited so long to report any of them missing, especially the kids.
This is what gets me. That's over two months without them hearing from her. I start worrying when I don't get a response to a text after a few days.
Yes especially the older kids father. No facetime, call or visit????
It's so sad but it shows the state of our culture where everyone just leaves each other alone, it's so sad
Clearly they all had dysfunctional relationships
@@Sophie-jf1nl That's a huge generalization. Speak for yourself.
That landlord was a piece of work himself!
He clearly didn’t want to help and it baffles me why he didn’t want to assist
It’s sick to know there are so many idiotic monsters out there who don’t see that life in prison or a death sentence is way worse than just leaving or divorcing someone.
They don't think they would ever get caught. Pride.
I dont think theyre give that a lot of thought. Theyre letting their feelings overrule.
It's about resentment and vengeance. Violence is the answer for the dull.
when you are a child and you are being abused in someway emotionally , or physically etc. you have to look back on that and realize that you have a choice not to be your parents. I did. My heart goes out to all the people affected by this horrific and unbelievable tragedy.
I dont understand why he couldn't drop the boys with their dad, take the girls to their grandmother & run away. Even then, he'd have caused a lot of pain but this is unimaginable. RIP all the victims of this monster, I pray the family can get the strength to cope with this loss.
You can't understand it because you're not a psychopathic pos.
It wasn't enough for Michael to just fk the guy's wife, but then he also had to kill his kids too. Nice fellow, yeah?
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. The guy is a monster, he didn't have to hurt the children, but he chose to do so anyway.
Thanks for finally covering this case, I have been waiting for other crime channel to cover this. Casei and my wife were very close friends growing up and into adult hood. When this occurred - no one saw it coming, nor did anyone know the situation at their residence was that dire or that he was capable of this.
Anytime I think about it, I get so angry at the loss of such innocent lives, then to hear he just keep them around in the back of the van, fermenting for weeks, it's just down right degrading.
My wife can't even see her name without crying uncontrollably, let alone thinking of the memories they had together.
Praying for your wife, that, in time, her good memories will return and she will regain peace. 🌷❤️🌷
Ahh I'm so sorry 🙏
I wish your wife peace.

His justification that the children could now "all be with their mother" is so gross, my mouth actually fell open when I heard it! It made me sick to my stomach.
That was pure bullsh*t. He probably killed them because they were reminders of Casei.
Same. Absolutely disgusting.
That had to be the lamest excuse for a family annihilation. Had he spared the kids he would had likely only received a second degree murder charge, but he just couldn't help himself ruining more lives, in two separate occasions no less over weeks. It's beyond comprehension.
@@12thDecember I'd say it's probably a bit of that, along with:
• Not wanting/being able to take care of 4 kids on his own (even just 2 if the bio dad took the 2 boys)
• Not wanting to be reminded of what he did to their mom,
and last, but by no means least:
• Simply being an unadulterated POS.
I agree with you-- He didn’t care about that at all, the only thing he wanted was a “new beginning “ which is what he got
I remember this case... It's truly one of those horrific ones you just can't forget. What he did, regardless of psychotic break, or prolonged abuse.. those kids didn't deserve it. When he dropped them off for that week or two that was his chance, that was his chance to say I'm not going to fetch them the further they are from me the safer they'll be. But he turned around got them and then did the unthinkable. Didn't know about the detail about the property owner not letting the police investigate properly. As always great coverage Adrian. Thank you!!!
Hey Adrian! Heard of the Senzo Meyiwa murder?? He was a South African soccer player/captain for the Orlando Pirates. He was murdered 9 years ago at his mistress's mother's home. There is alot of cover up going on in that case and 5 men stand accused for a murder they probably did not commit as it is quiet evident that the shooter was already in the house when the young, promising star was fatally shot. In the house were his mistress, her mother and sister,the sister's bf and the deceased's so called best friend. I think it might interest you to cover the case.
Wow can't believe it's been so long

@@taiteitirivamwe1548 Nope, but I'll sure look it up. What a sad, cruel world we live in..
I blame becoming a father within the last year, but this story angered me more than any other crime story that's been reviewed. That fact he can do that not only to his wife, but to his children as well just leaves me speechless. Whatever his outcome, I hope justice is truly served.
And kids that aren’t even his!!!! He could have let the dad have them!!!! Outrageous. It’s not like there weren’t other people willing to love those babies.
I may be wrong, but she wasn't 5 years older than him. I believe that he was born on 05/01/1981 and she was born 12/23/1986. Making him like 5 years her senior. I dunno I'm probably wrong.🤔 But either way my family and I love love your channel. Thanks for all of this awesome content. You're seriously one of the top channels that make up the majority of my TH-cam in app time.
You're right. Casei is 5 years his junior, not senior.
I was just coming to comment about this.
I was wondering if anyone else caught that 😆... I was confused for a second.
I heard that to lol 😆 I was like wait a minute here lol
As in the wise words of willy Wonka "stop! Reverse that"
This is the first time I've heard about this case.
It's always heartbreaking when there's a children involved:-(
I am crying while watching😭
😭poor babies😞
You can cry on this D if you want 😏
Yeah fr! Usually I avoid cases with children, it's more than I want from my True Crime content but alas here we are.
if you don't bring kids into the world, nothing happens to them.
This is my family thank you so much for covering their story💜
This story is so terrifying. I just hope the kids weren’t aware of what was happening around them. Especially with the events of the children occurring on different days
When you hear the full details of how he sent the kids away while considering to kill them or not. Then killed a couple. He claims to have almost given the kids to someone instead of killing them. I just keep thinking of how they almost were saved.
I know right 🥺😞that's what I was thinking. I'm sure they sensed something very scary even if they didn't see..🥺
Don't read the details...
Unfortunately those older children would have both seen and hears a lot of things. A lot of people have advised not to read the full details of what they went through....that says it all.
Being abused as a child is not a reason to kill you whole family. I certainly hope he gets the death penalty and not stay on death row for years at tax payer’s expenses. As always Adrian it’s such a pleasure to listen to you telling the story. Your show of respect to the victims is really appreciated. It’s heartbreaking to hear that type of story but at the same time it raises awareness in all of us. I just hope that after this story people will be kinder to their friends, families and neighbors and pay more attention considering that it took 66 days before the alarm was raised of a whole family missing. I wonder why the landlord refused to give a simple answer to a simple question asked by the police.
Wow, this story is devastating on so many levels. You, as always did a fantastic job at telling the story respectfully. I can't begin to imagine the pain the family is left with.
I was watching a 5 month old video of yours right now when I got the notification for this one thank you CC for your uploads. I like that you also have a deep respect for the victims in every story you cover.
Oh Adrian this would have to be one of the saddest case's you've or anyone has ever covered...may those poor children RIP 😥💜 and hopefully that "father" gets what he should get...thankyou again for the respect you always show for the victims and family left behind 😥
I just want to say thank you so much for always taking the time to really highlight the victim/victims in your videos. Not enough true crime content creators really explain in great detail who these people were and how special they were to their loved ones, and I just feel that is extremely important when telling their stories.
I can't imagine what pain the father of the boys is in
I’ve suffered from sexual abuse and assault as a child. Never killed anyone. Never even as much as pushed anyone. If you’ve faced abuse, you wouldn’t want to subject others to it because you know exactly what it feels like.
Sorry for what you went through 💕🙏🫂
It depends on your brain wiring and how it's affected you.. Each person is unique.. My best friend was a better choice for me because my ex was abused and was abusive.. My son deserves better..
Crazy how you could murder them separately over a time period. RIP to Casey and the kids.
Of all the cases on your channel, this one is the most heart rending one. 😢
I must say, this case is Chris Watts version 2.0 or maybe worse than that. Sometimes, people can be terrifyingly monstrous.
Small ed

Hey Adrian--loved the ticker displaying the days missing! I was watching some of your older videos (I'm a new fan) and your video editing has come a long way, really appreciate it, keep up the fantastic work! 🤓
You really never know anyone. You never know. But sometimes you meet people and they give you the chills and you wonder how they got a family who adores them.
I'm a Summerfield local. I personally knew both of them. My oldest daughter was in the same class as one of their girls. Folks in the area knew they had issues, but not to this extent. We honestly didn't think their troubles were anything but the normal family problems. Absolutely nobody here saw this coming.
I don't understand why the landlord was so hesitant to answer the officer's questions. Pleading the fifth and then asking the officer's to leave the property just seems so bizarre to me. What did he have to hide??🤔
I wondered the same thing
@@lisaf1443 It was just so very strange 🤔
This is one of those cases that made me go hug my kids. What a monster.
I've had too many family members who post how happy they are on social 24/7 but behind closed doors we all know there's a lot of dysfunction and mistreatment. Please don't pretend to your family and friends.
This is horrific. I don't know what to say. Thank You for the coverage of this unspeakable case.
I appreciate your empathy towards the victims, kindness is underrated
This is all so sad and senseless. I can’t imagine him killing those poor children! It’s so heartbreaking! Why he did not just let them go, I have no idea. My sympathies to everyone impacted. May they all rest in peace.
Great work , Adrian, as always 🖤
I still don't understand exactly what happened. It all seems so... without actual motive. Usually in these cases it would be clear cut, this guy doesn't want a family anymore and murdered them. This guy, I don't understand his motive.
@@younce-davis952 I don't think there was a motive to begin with; at least not in Casei's case. Given that all living parties confirmed the relationship was highly volatile at best, and actually abusive at worst, I believe that Michael was telling the truth (or at least, partially) when he described the sequence of events leading to Casei's death as "an argument that got out of hand"; as it's often the case in turbulent relationships before someone gets hurt.
They argued, things turned ugly, and Casei said/did something to anger Michael so much, he grabbed the bat and then proceeded to beat her to death. Now he's a killer, even though it wasn't his intention to take her life, nor he has a rational reason for it; he "just" snapped, letting all of his anger, frustration and instable mind to take control and this was the result. A very tragic event, but again, not an uncommon ending for an abusive relationship.
And then things began to spiral; because it wasn't a planned crime, Michael had to scramble to think of how to cover this unfortunate event to the best of his ability, without anyone noticing. That's why I think he didn't surrender the children to their respective relatives - he just didn't want anyone to get suspicious about Casei's sudden disappearence. Days went by, and he still hadn't had no solution how to deal with the whole situation without getting caught.
Being older and not his children, the boys might have started to ask for their mom and stopped buying his explanations anymore, and that's likely why they were the next to die; at this point, I believe Michael was in a survival mode and simple stopped caring about anyone but himself, which would culminate in the arguably worst offense for many - the death of his own children, because he had rather taken his little girls' lives (rationalised in his sick mind as it's better for them to die, than to live without their mom) than to turn himself in, facing the justice for what he had done.
Now, I'm not saying this is exactly what had happened; just that it all makes sense given the evidence and testimonies of all parties involved.
Either way, it's so sad that Michael couldn't have accepted the responsibility for Casei's death, sparing the children's lives and ironically even his own, as he would've been charged with "only" a second degree murder, evading the death penalty.
@@baseliacaliga425 I think you described it perfectly. Thank you for the clarification
Those poor babies! My heart truly aches for Casey and her beautiful children. They didn't deserve any of it, and their chances at living was so unfairly ripped away from them!
❤ sending them endless love and prayers on the other side.
This level of raw, monstrous, subhuman violence from a person who is supposed to love his wife and children always leaves me acquiescent to the evil that is possible in human beings. It irritates me to no end when mentally ill people don't seek out help, or when they do, so many with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder or anything with psychotic symptoms end up non-compliant with their medications.
I am staggered that the family went so long without hearing from anyone. I am truly shocked. No matter what abuse we may have endured NOTHING excuses doing what this man has done let alone anything else. Go & get yourself help
Not going to lie, I binge these videos and they’re narrated and produced perfectly but thus far this was the hardest case I’ve listened to.
Having children myself it makes me feel sick to my stomach that someone could do this, not just to the mother but to 4 innocent children who couldn’t defend themselves.
Especially his two small girls. Honestly makes me so upset inside.
Not sure what else to say. Just heartbreaking on all levels.
Thank you sir for all the research, time and effort you put into each case. And I think it is amazing how you always bring such care and love and respect for the victims and their families. You have a beautiful heart and soul. Love from Wyoming USA
Sometimes these human experiences leave me physically wounded. I've lived a long life and have seen us as human beings devolve to the point of this evil. But my heart and soul hurt so bad that sharing these stories and the life pain they cause, it still continues. Sometimes the warm coffee cup in my hand becomes cold as I cry over the loss of such innocence. By hands that should embrace and nurture. Adrian, this is why the coffeehouse kitty is so important for me to see. It helps keep that cup warm. Thank you.
I’m right there with you. It just gets worse every day.
This story makes me so very sad.
That poor Mother and Children.
One of my
biggest fears is weeks going by and none of my "family or friends" even noticing if I've gone missing, that'sjust how much attention they pay to me.
It weighs on my heart and brings tears to my eyes sometimes.
Check on your people, Folks!
Life in prison. I think it's more of a punishment than death. I would say he has to relive what he did everyday but then again he probably has no conscience.
As a Summerfield local and native Floridian, I am absolutely opposed to keeping him alive. I don't want a single penny of my tax money feeding this slug of a man. I say that as someone who knows him personally. I say we drag Ol' Sparky out for one more go and make his end as terrible as humanly possible. Firing squad would also be an acceptable alternative. He is absolutely undeserving of clemency, compassion, or any other consideration paid to humans.
Agree completely, and what most don't realize is that it's actually cheaper on average than the appeals process the death penalty entails.
I don't consider oblivion a good punishment.
@@McCammalot Too many people get the death penalty while innocent, so I am for nationwide legislation against it. I am neutral in this case, to be specific. As long as he does not leave prison alive.
The Days Missing counter is brilliant and very helpful.
Thank you for this video Adrian the way you narrated this tragedy made the severity and horror of the crimes more bearable to listen to and watch. It's truly horrific what happened to those four little angels. Just imagining what they were thinking during the time their father and stepfather were stealing their lives frightens me.
As I have said time and time again, I don't believe in rehabilitation and life imprisonment for this type of criminal. Rapists, pedophiles, sexual offenders, serial killers should be sentenced to death.
Let’s go! No better way to start the week than a video on true crime!
Yes!!! Happy Monday!!!
u need a job lol
@@shinzagu yeah tell my wife that…
Has anybody else noticed how so many of these horrific crimes seem to happen in August? Every one of these I watch seems to occur at this time, quite strange.
Totally devastating case. No matter what this man went through in his childhood, it is not an excuse to try to justify what he did. I would usually say that life in prison is better so that the person can suffer, but I fully think this is not the case here, he comes across as cold and heartless, so the death penalty in my opinion. My sincere condolences to the loved ones 💔
Hello Adrian, I have recently started watching and must say that I ardently follow your every episode. I really like your presentation and narration and at times get so engulfed by what the victims have endured that at times I pause and then again continue. I am from Nepal and hope someday you will be able to cover some from this side as well. Best Wishes.
I also really like him. I also appreciate that he doesn't go into unnecessary, gory detail. We don't need to know every second of what happened, just a basic understanding of what happened.
I can't understand how someone could do something like this to their children. It's beyond me, really.
She is not seen for weeks and nobody got suspicious and looked into it?!
remember, pals: if you go missing, your landlord is FAR more likely to prep your home for a new resident than to make any effort to support your safe return. chances are decent they'd tell you as much personally if you were to ask them.
their whole livelihood rests on dangling shelter over your head and projecting their own laziness onto you; someone who genuinely cares for you will not do this. they don't provide shelter, they gatekeep it instead of contributing to the community with real work like everyone else.
Thank God I know that that's not true where I am living now.
And just imagine how many families are somehow living in "close to this" circumstances without someone being killed yet.

It hits weird when the flier is your own county. Been watching for over a year and this is a first for me.

OMG. I feel so sad for the beautiful children wee angel's. It is horrendous how one evil monster could carry out this wicked crime
Thanks from New Zealand. I really enjoy your style of story telling and your occasional, well deserved to the bad guys, sarcasm.
That ex-wife would have chills down her spine upon knowing she and her kids were living with a serial killer all this time---and probably he was showing them normal 'father' behavior while they were together. Daaamn!
You might consider covering the murder of Robert Solomine Jr. It's an older case that happened on February 16, 1992, in New Jersey. A 20-year-old man named Frank Castaldo enticed a group of teenagers to murder a classmate they found annoying. Three of the boys backed out at the last minute but didn't do much to stop their friend James Wanger from going through with the murder. The boys who backed out were sentenced to 12 to 15 years. James Wanger was sentenced to life in prison.
😢 I believe killing a child or children should be automatic death sentence with NO exceptions granted for mental illness or pleading guilty. Also, there should be a maximum number of years on death row, perhaps no more than 5 years or less, for appeal. Just saying.
I think that´s the wrong thinking. We shouldn´t become the same monsters as they are. Life in prison without parole might be better.
@@s.r.823 I appreciate your view. But for what it costs to incarcerate violent offenders for their lifetime, including food, housing,security, medical care, laundry, and eduction, I’d rather divert funds and resources to children health services, or mental health treatment to prevent such tragedies in the future. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
@@kellyfalletta1949 I appreciate your thoughts too. But I think cruelty doesn´t help. It doesn´t bring back the dead. And I can´t understand how the death of a person can bring someone satisfaction even if it´s a bad person. Gives me goosebumps. Cruelty leads to more cruelty. And the risk is too hight to put an actual innocent person to death freaks me out.
@@s.r.823 I didn’t mention cruelty. And it isn’t about punishment, satisfaction or revenge. As you say, this won’t bring victims back. It’s about resources being allocated not housing those that have already been convicted of grievous crimes, but to helping prevent others from occurring. I think about lack of adequate mental healthcare in our country. I think how badly child welfare support services and staff are overwhelmed. Either might have prevented Jones from his own suffering or killing his family. But maybe, with more resources to those efforts, prevent future tragedies.
I would certainly presume innocence until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. Which would require a very very strong burden of proof to convict and sentence a person to death. I would totally respect any fellow juror that says, “I know this person is totally guilty, but I will not ever personally sentence anyone to death”. That is perfectly acceptable. No one should ever make a decision that they might regret. 👍
@@kellyfalletta1949 I am actually glad I don´t have to live in America. I feel realy bad for all over there.
But resources are a weak reason. People waiting on death row probably are as long in prison as a life sentenced one would. And bringing them befor court again and again for appealing costs in the end the same.
And I still believe we shouldn´t get down to their level.
He deserves time in Gen Pop and the problem of his sentence will sort itself out.

I had a horrible abusive childhood and have never even thought of harming my family, death sentence. I think that the death sentence should be saved for cases exactly like this
Edit: I’ve never thought of seriously harming anyone for that matter, last fight I got into was middle school. It’s not hard to not be violent
As a believer in the teachings of Jesus, I often struggle with the concepts of forgiveness and redemption. I'm 63, and most of my life I was in favor of the death penalty when I felt it was "appropriate" but the older I get, the less sure I am of that. I'm glad I wasn't on the jury. I would have had to ask the judge to dismiss me.

You know that right?
So weird and scary that some people's first inclination is murder rather than figuring out how to help themselves and their families. Plead the 5th??? You cannot plead the 5th in this circumstance. He should have just not answered or said he didn't know! OMG. It is the US public education system at its best. 😞

There isn't punishment harsh enough that can be given to Michael.
Traumatic events to children often result in tragic endings..
Hi Adrian, I really enjoy your videos but I am wondering how you get all the footage of the locations you talk about. Do you pay people to film certain locations for you or is it drones or something? You always have amazing and clear footage of the places in your stories and I am desperate to know how you get all these shots. Thanks again from a guy from Australia.
This this video makes me cry, none of this ever had to happen
Love your work mate 👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you for sharing.
Out of all your videos, this is the darkest one I have seen. Michael lacked any regard for human life, most likely rooted in his own history of abuse by father figures. Michael failed to understand how wrong his fathers were for abusing him (which explains why his teachers observed him as "lost and confused") and so Michael, having never processed how traumatic his experience was, repeated the same behavior that his fathers did to him but even worse.
My sympathy to the family and may they all Rest In Peace as for him may he never know a day of rest for as long as he lives.
A bad childhood does not give anyone the excuse to be an evil adult.
OMG I'm so sorry little one's your safe now beautiful and loved 🙏🏿🌾🌻😓😢 how could you my god!
I live in Ocala rn but I use to work for a energy company that covered most of summerfield named Seco Energy I was a meter reader for that company and my area was mostly summerfield and belview area and there is nothing but country and horse properties lol it’s a quiet area usually older folks live there
Wow. This one was extra rough. I had to eventually stop watching and put my phone face down and just listen to the rest of the story because it was tough looking at the pics of those babies hearing about what was done to them. I wish somebody would slowly guide this POS through a wood chipper. 😔
