Mike, I’m an almost 80-year-old woman, mother of two and grandmother of four, from Texas, USA. I just adore your channel, the unique way you tell these stories, how you handle the subject matterand your lovely wit. I watch several of your videos every evening on my iPad.
I'm 42 and I introduced my mom in her mid 70s to Mike and we watch every episode together (live with each other) always looking forward to giving it a goo!
Life insurance segments kill me every time even though these are serious crimes it's always nice to add a little something in here for being such heavy stories
For real the bitch started off making up an alibi instead of "HELP I NEED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT THERE'S SMOKE IN THE HOUSE AND I DONG KNOW WHERE MY HUSBAND IS"
Thank god for randos on TH-cam that have listened to 20 911 calls that have been edited and posted by other randos on TH-cam, or we would have no way of knowing when someone is being truthful or not on a 911 recording. 🙄 Get real. You have not heard even a fraction of the amount that even a brand new operator hears throughout their training. People watch some TH-cam true crime crap and think they’re an FBI profiler, it’s comical. Homicide detectives have had cases brought against them because they were too inept to properly investigate a case and instead ran with their stupid assumption based on their moronic misconstruing of a 911 call, did no real work, and only gathered “evidence” that would back up their confirmation bias, resulting in wrongful convictions.
@@Tsumami__ and yet that didn't happen here. Armchair investigator or not, what we did hear of the call came across as insincere. People are perfectly allowed to make an assessment with what limited knowledge base they have. If they're not the prosecutor or an investigator it has zero bearing on anything. Still, you make a valid point and it's something I've suggested Mike do in the past: I think a wrongful conviction / false confession series would be excellent.There are SO many of them, and I think he'd do real justice to the topic. Plus there's a lot of people who follow these types of channels who are perpetually under the idea that cops get it right every single time, and it's like not even close.
Never laughed so hard as when Mike was doing the insurance dance 🕺!!!! The Hawaiian shirt was the icing on the cake. 😅 Mike has quite the following out there, at least I now know I'm not the only crazy grandma out there who's a real I like Mike fan.❤😊
When the investigator says "I'm sorry, I can't understand you" he was speaking for everyone😄 love all your content Mike! Thank you for bringing so much joy.
Just before he says "you're lying," doesn't it look like he's looking at sheet music in his folio? I'm sure it's police paperwork, but it looks like a single staff sheet music page.
Fire debris forensic scientist here - although fire investigators call them “accelerants”, the scientists who perform the tests call them “ignitable liquids” because we can’t know for sure the purpose that they were used for. Just a fun point of order! Another great video!
How did you get a job as such a scientist? I'm really interested in a career like this. I'm currently a zoologist and have plenty of lab experience, I miss the lab atmosphere.
Exactly Ellen, what these 'human beings' who kill people in callous and cold-hearted acts forget is this: we now have now have the knowledge to tell whether a scene is innocent or suspicious. Using a fire to cover your tracks is NOT enough to hide what really happened. Plus, acting hysterical as a woman in the 21st Century doesn't work. What angers me is murderers, of any murder case, are more concerned about avoiding consequence for their actions instead of showing humanity to the person(s) they killed. But again, if you're able to kill another human being so freely - you've already proven where your morals are. I save my compassion for the families of murder victims because for them the destruction of life doesn't end with their loved one's death. I hope they all find some peace. All of it Ellen is such waste of life. Disgusting.
I hope her children are OK. I hope many people are helping them through this. They lost an apparently loving stepfather at the hands of their own mother. The confusion they must feel. Of grief, of a clash of loyalties, of the fear of what would happen to them in all of it. It would be terrifying for a child.
@@ninaninapasadena5687To be fair, if they knew the women they were hooking up with were gold-digging garbage, they wouldn’t take them in in the first place.
It angers me that a totally kind man like Chad, who not only takes in a woman but her children as well, is senselessly and needlessly killed and discarded like a used napkin. No thought to his life, just snuffed out for greed. It's so unfair. Good women out there would adore a man like that. How sad. Shame on you Nikki, you never deserved him, but you got exactly what you deserved. Great job as always, Mike!! ❤️
I took a break from true crime stuff as I felt like it was all I ever watched. Came back to it recently and happy to see that Mike's Life insurance dance is not only still here but even better than ever!
Cool format with longer story. It's good to really climb into the minds of these scheitbags. And don't EVER take out that life insurance dance!!!! Talk about genius. It captures the very essence of these peabrains and their monstrous schemes. It's exactly who they are. Party time at the expense of precious lives. Lives they actually did not even deserve to share in most cases. RIP Chad.
This comment SENT me 😂😂 I somehow watched like three videos all about Wisconsin in a row and I was like damn they really be doing some killin out there 🥴
There is nobody in the whole crime story covering world that brings us the info in this particular way. It's just so bold, unique, captivating and real.
@@annebruecks7381 Wow, same for me! Mike's visuals crack me up & I always do a little dance (in my chair) to the music. Within these sad stories it's needed.
Hi Mike. My cousin was murdered in Nashville Tennessee. Her name was Caitlyn Kaufman. I love your show and would love for you to honor her by getting her story out.
Definitely send a email to his business email! He has it listed in the description :) I’d love to hear more about your cousin. Im so sorry for your loss
I'm so very sorry for your loss. I know Mr. Ballen had asked ppl to send personal stories in. I'm not sure about this channel. There is also a girl who does a podcast. I wanna say it's called freaked out podcast. I'm possibly wrong on the name though. But definitely send an email with your cousins story and pictures often help too. I HOPE she's gotten justice and if she hasn't... That you getting her story out helps. Sending hugs.
MIKE. YOU and you alone, will FOREVER be my favorite story teller! Your quirky sense of humor is unmatched and that CANNOT be taught, anywhere!! Thank you for being YOU & PLEASE never change! You are the very reason why we all race to click on your new uploads to see what masterpiece you have produced for this week! 💗
@@avanellehansen4525 he puts on a good show - well scripted - selects the best clips from hundreds and patches them together brilliantly. why do you think on this basis he can hold a decent conversation and make you laugh?
Mike I'm a victim of a very serious violent abduction, I suffer from depression, ptsd and I can rarely leave my home. Your vids get me through the day, remind me I M one of the lucky ones and make me giggle. I even use them as bedtime stories. Thankyou for the unique, fun yet sensitive way you do it. Your wit, charm and a cent are one of a kind.
I'm glad you enjoy mike. but you deserve MORE out of life than an occasional distraction from your PTSD and rarely leaving your house. I know. I'm in the same boat for different reasons. I think we both deserve better and the people that caused the trauma to us would love to know that we don't live our lives to the fullest because of them. Let's try and get more help and prove them wrong in 2023!! Much love..markmike
I watch so many true crime TH-camrs and mike is by far my favorite one. He’s so good at what he does and he’s hilarious. His life insurance bit kills me every time it comes up in a case. When I first came across mikes channel I binge watched every single video he’s ever posted. I loved getting up super early, getting a cup of coffee and kicking back on the couch to watch That Chapter. I get so excited when I get that notification that he’s posted a new video. It’s always something I look forward to.
I agree wholeheartedly. That chapter is the one and ONLY channel I check my notifications for to check his new release, I’ve seen each episode already and am disappointed when I need a Mike fix and there aren’t any new vids that I haven’t watched already. He’s so funny and his Witt is on point given the sensitivity of some of his reports he is never unprofessional or speaks out of turn. Nice one Mike. 👍🐜🇬🇧
Thank you Mike! Just.... thank you! I'm an epileptic single mum with two little ones who both have suspected autism so things are extremely rough. Your videos help me so much that I really can't say thank you enough. So again a massive thankyou and online hug. Thank you Mike! Xx
I'm sorry that you're struggling. This channel helps me escape my problems for a while at a time. Praying for better days 🙏 for you and your kids! I was raised by a single mom, and she's the biggest blessing I've ever had. Keep up the good work, your kids love you I have two brothers, one with downsyndrome. So I kind of understand how hard it may be for a single mom of kids with disorders, just do the best you can. :)
Mike, I have read through many of the comments on your posts, and the praise is well earned. You continue to show us fresh, and interesting content in your trademark idiom. Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication.
Mike is an international treasure. I hope he continues his awesome solo work and never takes a big Netflix contract or similar. Not that he doesn’t deserve the big money, but it would ruin the heart of the show.
That ever popular thingy about life insurance over divorce gets me every time. Nice storytelling, as always Mike. I think I speak for all the subscribers in saying we deeply appreciate all your hard work bringing us these stories.
Yes, we do appreciate his hard work! I also appreciate his wise cracks when the case is getting uncomfortable. They are perfectly placed and respectful of the victim(s). “They met at a racetrack…of course they did” got me!! Poor Chad. Dear God, this woman loved her wrinkled forehead, didn’t she?! Yes, I am being rude, but she’s a killer, and I hope I am not the only one thinking it. I’m not into using filters, but good grief 🤷🏼♀! Why take a selfie of your forehead?? Her voice: is it authentic? My voice can sound a bit fake, but it’s truly not fake (I wish it was a bit deeper in tone.) Hers seems so sugary. I need to stop typing and go back to the video, as she’s about to be interviewed by police!!!
I work in a major broadcast network in my country, whenever I want to see quality content, I watch you, mike. Your hard work is truly appreciated. P.s. love the new thumbnail style.
All the other true crime tellers I’ve gotten bored of but not you Mike! Still here! Telling these are so sad but you manage to keep it humorous in some way with your jokes in between, the most genuine I’ve seen and I’m a big fan ☺️
Have you checked out Murder She Shed? She really finds the unusual lesser publicized cases and shows she really cares. Some find her voice off putting butting but I think she's wonderful and needs way more subs.
Still a massive fan Mike, been here since nearly the beginning. You never fail me, your humor and the way you tell the story is a beautiful combination which really works. Being a true crime lover, I don't always want ALL the gory details so the way you spin these terrible tales is absolutely genius! It's why you are so popular. I think I speak for us all when I say please never leave us! go on.. take care and I love ya!
@@arynasabalenka3173 fair play to him. Its nice to be happy for people who can make it in this world. Mike puts in a lot of time into his channel so I have my fingers crossed he can retire early. Jealousy isn't a nice trait to have hun, if you can't be happy for people don't get yourself involved. 🙂
Even the detective asks Nikki to speak up a couple of times during the interrogation, it's that hard to hear her at times and at others virtually impossible. Her story had so many holes, it didn't take them long to unravel it. she was literally hoping her little lost school girl voice would get her through it. What an idiot.
No, when it comes to this decision, she was actually pretty clever. She did what worked best for her in life and stuck to it. You'd be surprised how many women get through life very succesfully and comfortably with this little lost girl routine. It worked so many times for them, they're simply not used to having to deal with somebody who doesn't fall for it. So it was only logical, Nikki chose the exact strategy that helped her in many other situations so far. Especially with men. Greetings from Germany :)
@@moserfugger6363 as a father of a six year old girl and a man who's been around the world a few times, this tactic ANGERS me to no end and will get you yelled at, just like the little girl their pretending to be. Glad to see they're others out there who see right through this BS.
I've been sick in bed with covid feeling absolutely terrible. The only good thing about it is that I've been binge watching that chapter all day! Thanks, Mike! I love ya!!
Hey Mike, I absolutely love the longer videos! Been a huge fan of That Chapter for years and you just keep getting better and better as the vids you post come through!! Thank you so much for all the hard work and content you put out here on That Chapter! I'm poor and don't have a lot of money but for Christmas I've asked my Aunt to help me donate to your Patreon because we both enjoy your channel so much! I'll do my best to support you and your channel. I love you all out there in That Chapter community! take care of each other. Bill out!!!!
@Bradley Mitchell Why the negativity?Mr Bill just humbled himself and said he doesn’t have any money. His comment was so sweet and sincere. Try having some empathy in your heart please. Geez…..
I have .10 cents in my bank account right now so not everyone can afford $2 a month. I'm a pharmacy tech, but my son is autistic so I cant work as much as I'd like. And they denied us s.s.! So yeah I definitely cant afford any extras atm not even $2 a month.
Bill, this comment is so pure I love it. I hope you get your Christmas wish. x Times are tough out there but you sharing your enjoyment of this channel with your Aunt - that's something money can't buy.
I love your style and your sense of humor. Idk how you do it, but you have a great way of sharing these stories. I think your super respectful still informative and very charming. Thanks for a different type of delivery in this genre.
@@mollyk5557 How does someone telling the story of a murder keep the person that was murdered from resting in peace?? You make no sense whatsoever. And I'm sure there are many that would argue that telling their story to others keeps them alive in the hearts and minds of those being told the story. Either way how can you or anyone else make the claim you did?? You have absolutely ZERO clues or idea if the person is resting in peace or not and whether telling the story of their murder keeps them from finding peace or not.
I'm totally happy for evil people like this to mess up in interrogations but... this is why you ask for a lawyer. She knew she was done when the questioning got tough. Another great video - thanks Mike!
same when drunk people talk them own selves into agreeing to road side sobriety tests. people in positions that should know better and half way through theyre like "im fucked, YOURE MAKING ME GUILTY" well you had a choice
@@MrPaxio I mean, you don’t have to take the sobriety test, but I think you do have to take the breathalyzer…and if you don’t then I’m pretty sure that means you basically fail automatically…if I remember right??
The police had a pretty air tight case against her not much a lawyer could do even if she asked for one. Look at the trial itself-They called 40 witnesses against her, and her defense called none. Even her own lawyers didn't try. They had the video placing her at the scene, and the life and home insurance policy was a no brainer.
The cases on this channel are narrated w/ just the right balance of wit & snark without being disrespectful or offensive. Easily the politest, most gentlemanly way of sharing harrowing tales of murderous mayhem. Subbed & settling in...
Not trying to be a pes but it’s normal time maybe a couple mins more I was hoping for a whole episode like 40 minutes. I’m grateful but sucks being only once a week now.
I was out gathering my chickens into the coop, and I was suddenly struck by the realization that I had not heard from Mike in awhile….so glad to see this post☺️💜
Oh, Mike! I am so proud to be witness to your journey for all these years now. To see, how far you already have come, makes me just happy! 🤘 Much ❤️ from Austria 🇦🇹
It's still almost unbelievable to me that people actually plan to kill someone they once loved and then do it? When you could just get divorced and leave and never see them again? I know money is a motivator in some cases, but wouldn't you calm down enough to get your brain back to normal, knowing you'd be the first suspect before stupidly trying your plan? Thanks Mike, for another excellent presentation. Happy New Year!
Lol Jesus not saying I ever would do something like this but I would plan the shit out to the T. These people seem like they didn't even put thought into it
Definitely a sociopath. She never loved him, just what he could do for her until she grew tired and wanted a new Flavor and then she tried to discard him. She's pure evil!!!!
Good luck in all your new endeavors. You have entertained me since 2017 while I’ve been battling cancer and needed your joy and humor to get me through. Thank you sooo much.
Yess another warrior in the fight against cancer!!! I too am batteling a rare aggressive type of cancer. Mike gives me a giggle with his wit to a morbid story. So u are not alone. I write this from my bed in the dark w my phone light on cause my eyes are now sensitive to light. I hope u are doing well. And keep up the fight!!
I have really enjoyed this format. You have such a cheerful, classy way of speaking about some of the worst humans on earth. Without your outlook, I doubt I could stomach some of these crimes. So, let's give it a goo for at least turdy tree more years! Love you, too!
I think it's better way to do videos in such comprehensive way as this video you had done Mike, otherwise it's a waste of a good story when just jumping from one story to another. Great channel btw, great to see it growing, all the best.
Appreciate that! I’m enjoying going into deep dives for now. From time to time in the future there may be two a week at times, but I’m really enjoying taking my time getting stuck in
@@ThatChapter Nick Legas, homicide 8 June 2020, unsolved, I am his son the combat medic from Iraq, I will always remind you; you are my only hope Mike. vr, Matt
I'm not quite used to your new background. I've been so used to seeing just you for years now. I'm sure I will come around. I've never been good with change. I will say this...Nobody deserves those TH-cam awards hanging back there more than you. Mike you are my favorite TH-cam creator.
@@sunshsophprd.0565 me too! Laying on the couch, with the phone propped up in the dark, he always looked like a tiny human sitting there telling me a scary story. 🤣
What a heartless soul. It's also kind of scary to know one can take out a life insurance policy on someone without their knowledge, and then take their life like it doesn't matter. It's messed up, seriously. I do hope they enjoy their stay behind bars where they both belong. The insurance dance helped me not be too sad about only one video, so thanks for that, Mike! Have a great week 😊
I believe there should be some notification sent when someone takes out an insurance policy on someone else and notification of subsequent changes in that policy. It's INSANE the insured may have No Idea and is just wrong.
Secret insurance policies are definitely crazy. There's also tons of cases where police don't find out about the insurance policy for 10 years, or shit like that. Insurance policies should be searchable like criminal records are searchable, for police.
There really are no words special enough to describe how good you are Mike. Thanks for all the amazing effort, hard work and humour you inject into your wonderful videos. May long you continue. 👍
I could listen to you tell stories all day Mike! You have a special gift in delivery of the most disturbing stories in a way that makes a mockery of these evil people at the same time getting us to feel for these unfortunate victims.
The first time you showed her trying to tear up her confession I was like “damn he missed the perfect opportunity to show a clip of mac trying to eat his contract!” But I see now you don’t miss anything 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Mikey O, you were already the best. Somehow you’ve stepped up the game once again! Loving all the prop memories on the shelf as well. Hope you’re enjoying as much as we all are!
Mike .. just gotta drop you a note so you know how effin Awesome you are at explaining these events. The Families of the Victims DESERVE for the truth to be told. Much Appreciated ... Much Love from Northern ALberta. ❤ 🇨🇦
Mike I started to watch your channel 2 years ago and I love the way you tell the story and the humour you use 🤣 I watched lots of channels about crime and your channel is the f***ING best ... Keep up the good work from an Irishman to another !!! You will go places bud 👍👍👍
Watching these vids make me realize I put more time, effort and detail into planning a dinner party than so many of these people do when planning a MURDER. I’m not saying I want them to get away with it, but come on, if you’re *planning* a murder how can you be so sloppy and ignorant about it and then think you’re gonna get away with it??! Bonkers 😂😂😂
Mike, you're on fire. "The defence was like a weak ass fart", I spat out my drink from laughing so hard. You do a awesome job, great video's and all by yourself. Love, love, love that Chapter
Mike, I’m an over 30 year old woman from KS USA with no children and I like your videos, your accent, and especially the way you say “Tursday the Turd of January”. I watch your videos in the evening when I get off work. Thanks for the lovely content.
Thank you for not including all the interrogation! That is so annoying when it's all included. My heart goes out to this man's family, and I hope those involved really pay.
Mike u help me look forward to each week as someone who struggles with several conditions and neuropathy, arthritis, and chronic pain and countless others... u are a friend I've just never met in person! You and the comedian DREW LYNCH make life worth living! You are also respectful toward the victims and only make fun of the killers cuz they deserve it lol Thanks for always being there hugs Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! xoxo
BLESS YOUR HEART KIMMY, I TOO SUFFER WITH YOU 😢 I WATCH TC JUST AS AN ESCAPE. I FEEL FOR THE VICTIMS, THEIR FAMILIES & FRIENDS. ALWAYS GRATEFUL WHEN THEY CATCH THE PERSON(S) WHO KILL THEM 🙏 HAVE TO SAY, LOVE MIKE'S HUMOR, ANYTHING TO HELP KEEP MY MIND OFF OF PAIN. WINTER DOES NOT HELP! HOPE YOU'RE DOING WELL, PLEASE TAKE GOOD CARE. SENDING HUGS 🙏😊 💕

@@mollyk5557 yes... "everyone DOES have bad days"... but it does not make one person's bad day less important than someone else's. OP is not whining.... just stating a fact. I had a bad day too. It might be better than your day... it might be worse than your day. You don't know... I don't know. Doesn't make it less important. Doesn't mean it should be dismissed.
I'm LMAO at the car blowing up commercial and Mike's insurance dance! Love this channel ❤️ blessings to you all here, and a very happy Thanksgiving too
Mike has a unique gift. He can research extremely well, whilst breaking it down in a palatable way. His personality suggests that he would be a great television presenter. I just hope RTE doesn't steal him from us.
I love how Mike tells the story's and also just don't hold back and says what he's thinking he's such a good story teller I've been watching his videos for such a long time now
Many women would love a Chad in their life. And she has robbed not only another woman the chance to be happy with him, but taken his life, and probably wrecked his mum and dad's life too. Mike ... thank you for the life insurance dance, you made my night, my two nights, my week.
Exactly my thoughts, too! I'd give anything to have a partner who wants to the father my children and give us a home. Some people can have the world and get mad about it.
Men like Chad are so, so rare. And this woman didn't respect or appreciate him for that rarity, and now the world is deprived of such a great guy because of her selfishness.
Exactly! Chad was raising her children in a nice town, beautiful home, he had a great job and supported them financially and he seemed to be a genuinely nice guy….she had what most women would be so thankful for….I can’t understand how anyone can be so heartless and cruel. So sad 😢
Hi Mike, I just want you to remember that you have so much support and love behind you! You make your videos funny but respectful at the same time💗you deserve all the love you get, over 1.7 million subscribers, you deserve them.. at times do take breaks when needed as it can take a toll on your psyche, much love from UK🇬🇧hugs to you x
I think you should do a video in each state alphabetical order and then other places as well. Because not only are you such a great story teller you always give us fun facts about each place.
Thank you for taking the pain for us, as you have to watch the content to spare us that pain, I appreciate your hard work & also your humor...but you're the best of the best, love ya! Be safe, stay you ♡♡♡
What gets me about cases like this is the intersection of cruelty and just... sheer stupidity. It's astounding that people like Nikki can go through their lives being mean, dumb little cretins and not even being subtle about it, and yet the only time anything is done about it is *after* somebody is dead.
once it stops working for one guy they move onto another. there's an endless supply of lonely gullible men willing to be duped by these sociopaths unfortunately
The stupidity of being at a hotel with cameras, and hauling items from the house into the hotel. These are really low IQ people; and they didn't make up for it in the looks dept. either.
I adore you & your channel.. you’re amazing at wrapping up a whole story in less than an hr & hitting all the main juicy points. plus on top of that your tirty trees, tirteens, & let’s give it a GOOOO’s will never get old. xoxo 😉
I've had the pleasure of being friends with some people from North Dakota. They are some of the kindest, most genuine people I've met. There are bad apples even on the best of trees.
Mike, the world loves you!!! I'm Jenny. Im 51 and homeless. Im thankful for my cell phone because I can honestly say that without you and your show, I'd be really unhappy, loney, and probably watching a different program right? I love watching your stories and you are hysterical. So, great job and thank you for always giving it a gooo! Lol We love you too! Xoxo
I love your “let’s give it a go!” catchphrase. Other TH-camrs start their videos like “Join us as we….”, which is just plain terrible. I love your stories and the way you tell them. I have seen them all! Love it!
Hey Mike, I live in Ingersoll, Ontario. I was married in Bellewood , 1982. I love your videos! I have watched most of them. Your take and insight is very refreshing. ❤
Started watching TC back when there were just 500 subscribers. Now I see there's millions now. Well deserved because, although the subject matter is often quite gruesome, it's also very interesting. I love the humour which is lacking in many crime channels.
I am unceasingly intrigued by good defense attorneys. They take their purpose seriously, which is to show any reasonable doubt, and they will stop at nothing to provide that doubt. Though I understand the logic, I do not think I could put it into practice and feel peace in my life.

I’m really loving these longer format videos, Mike! I’m a long-time subscriber to your channel from Georgia, USA and I have enjoyed watching you grow and evolve! Keep up the awesome work!
I look forward to these videos more than what comes on TV. Great job as always Mike. The longer content is better to for me at least gives it more room for the story.

Life insurance segments kill me every time even though these are serious crimes it's always nice to add a little something in here for being such heavy stories
I was so waiting for that part when I heard they were married =D
It's just so deliciously sarcastic coming from a witty charming Irish young man in a Cptn's hat, or helmet!
I love how you can see the various hats he wears in the background now.
Classique
SAAAAMMMEEE!!! Lmaoooooo
Anyone who's heard enough of these could immediately tell how sincere that opening emergency call sounded.
Insincere?
For real the bitch started off making up an alibi instead of "HELP I NEED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT THERE'S SMOKE IN THE HOUSE AND I DONG KNOW WHERE MY HUSBAND IS"
Thank god for randos on TH-cam that have listened to 20 911 calls that have been edited and posted by other randos on TH-cam, or we would have no way of knowing when someone is being truthful or not on a 911 recording.
🙄
Get real. You have not heard even a fraction of the amount that even a brand new operator hears throughout their training. People watch some TH-cam true crime crap and think they’re an FBI profiler, it’s comical.
Homicide detectives have had cases brought against them because they were too inept to properly investigate a case and instead ran with their stupid assumption based on their moronic misconstruing of a 911 call, did no real work, and only gathered “evidence” that would back up their confirmation bias, resulting in wrongful convictions.
@@Tsumami__ Jesus christ just because you saw/heard it happens a few times doesn't mean it's even close anywhere near the same summer. You tweskin me
@@Tsumami__ and yet that didn't happen here. Armchair investigator or not, what we did hear of the call came across as insincere. People are perfectly allowed to make an assessment with what limited knowledge base they have. If they're not the prosecutor or an investigator it has zero bearing on anything.
Still, you make a valid point and it's something I've suggested Mike do in the past: I think a wrongful conviction / false confession series would be excellent.There are SO many of them, and I think he'd do real justice to the topic. Plus there's a lot of people who follow these types of channels who are perpetually under the idea that cops get it right every single time, and it's like not even close.
Come for the true crime and stay for the life insurance dance! 🤣
The is the icing to the cake
Never laughed so hard as when Mike was doing the insurance dance 🕺!!!! The Hawaiian shirt was the icing on the cake. 😅
Mike has quite the following out there, at least I now know I'm not the only crazy grandma out there who's a real I like Mike fan.❤😊
...especially the part where the Irish guy wears an American football helmet. You go Mike!

Hi Boo, my star-loving friend! Glad to see you have made it thru the pandemic :)
Just before he says "you're lying," doesn't it look like he's looking at sheet music in his folio? I'm sure it's police paperwork, but it looks like a single staff sheet music page.
@@janemiettinen5176 hello there sweet lovely friend🌻✨ so glad to see you here too!

Fire debris forensic scientist here - although fire investigators call them “accelerants”, the scientists who perform the tests call them “ignitable liquids” because we can’t know for sure the purpose that they were used for. Just a fun point of order! Another great video!
Cool! Learn something new everyday! Thanks 😊
I learnt sumptin! Thank you ma'am.
How did you get a job as such a scientist? I'm really interested in a career like this. I'm currently a zoologist and have plenty of lab experience, I miss the lab atmosphere.
Very interesting 🤔
Exactly Ellen, what these 'human beings' who kill people in callous and cold-hearted acts forget is this: we now have now have the knowledge to tell whether a scene is innocent or suspicious. Using a fire to cover your tracks is NOT enough to hide what really happened.
Plus, acting hysterical as a woman in the 21st Century doesn't work.
What angers me is murderers, of any murder case, are more concerned about avoiding consequence for their actions instead of showing humanity to the person(s) they killed. But again, if you're able to kill another human being so freely - you've already proven where your morals are.
I save my compassion for the families of murder victims because for them the destruction of life doesn't end with their loved one's death.
I hope they all find some peace. All of it Ellen is such waste of life. Disgusting.
I hope her children are OK. I hope many people are helping them through this. They lost an apparently loving stepfather at the hands of their own mother. The confusion they must feel. Of grief, of a clash of loyalties, of the fear of what would happen to them in all of it.
It would be terrifying for a child.
It’s crazy how these awful women can find nice men to raise and support their kids.
Men need to stop taking in these garbage women
@@ninaninapasadena5687 ain't that the truth!
Well put.
@@ninaninapasadena5687To be fair, if they knew the women they were hooking up with were gold-digging garbage, they wouldn’t take them in in the first place.
@@miss-nomerthese women find ways to manipulate kind hearted men regardless…….
It angers me that a totally kind man like Chad, who not only takes in a woman but her children as well, is senselessly and needlessly killed and discarded like a used napkin. No thought to his life, just snuffed out for greed. It's so unfair. Good women out there would adore a man like that. How sad.

Great job as always, Mike!! ❤️
Totally agree - but just had to add that I love your username!!

I will never, ever tire of your life insurance routine. Thank you for another great story, told as only you can tell 'em.
Me neither, it's absolute GOLD !
The life insurance bit is SO GOOD :)
I took a break from true crime stuff as I felt like it was all I ever watched. Came back to it recently and happy to see that Mike's Life insurance dance is not only still here but even better than ever!
Cool format with longer story. It's good to really climb into the minds of these scheitbags.
And don't EVER take out that life insurance dance!!!! Talk about genius. It captures the very essence of these peabrains and their monstrous schemes. It's exactly who they are. Party time at the expense of precious lives. Lives they actually did not even deserve to share in most cases. RIP Chad.
My favorite thing is the long Life Insurance Dance!!
@@annebruecks7381 Makes me laugh more each time!
Not a fan of the life insurance dance.
@@mickbowling4412 Aahh, bet it’s because you just purchased a life insurance 😂 JK ❣️
True!
Mike couldn’t point to Wisconsin on a map but he darn sure could tell you everyone who was murdered there and how
Can you imagine how he plans his vacation get-aways......
This comment SENT me 😂😂 I somehow watched like three videos all about Wisconsin in a row and I was like damn they really be doing some killin out there 🥴
😂😂😂
Coldest comment commodity. !
Murder is becoming a tourist attraction in Wisconsin
There is nobody in the whole crime story covering world that brings us the info in this particular way. It's just so bold, unique, captivating and real.

The Life Insurance Dance is my favorite lol
I would recommend you watch Ape Huncho or The Mob Reporter. They both produce high quality content about worldwide crime.

Hi Mike. My cousin was murdered in Nashville Tennessee. Her name was Caitlyn Kaufman. I love your show and would love for you to honor her by getting her story out.
Definitely send a email to his business email! He has it listed in the description :)
I’d love to hear more about your cousin. Im so sorry for your loss
I'm sorry about your loss. I hope Mike See's this. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family
I'm so very sorry for your loss. I know Mr. Ballen had asked ppl to send personal stories in.
I'm not sure about this channel. There is also a girl who does a podcast. I wanna say it's called freaked out podcast.
I'm possibly wrong on the name though.
But definitely send an email with your cousins story and pictures often help too.
I HOPE she's gotten justice and if she hasn't... That you getting her story out helps.
Sending hugs.
Was her last name that of her Jewish husband?
@@BikingVikingHH surely. I lived in Tennessee for a long time and I NEVER once saw a Jew. If there were any they were super secretive about it.

I know. I'm in the same boat for different reasons.
I think we both deserve better and the people that caused the trauma to us would love to know that we don't live our lives to the fullest because of them.
Let's try and get more help and prove them wrong in 2023!!
Much love..markmike
💖 That's horrible! Mike is sooooo helpful in ways he doesn't even know.
Birth pangs and it will get worse.
The life insurance bit never gets old. Please keep expanding upon it! Love you Mike!
He needs to keep gradually adding new random characters like the football guy. It’s so funny & makes no sense but that’s the beauty of it.

I watch so many true crime TH-camrs and mike is by far my favorite one. He’s so good at what he does and he’s hilarious. His life insurance bit kills me every time it comes up in a case. When I first came across mikes channel I binge watched every single video he’s ever posted. I loved getting up super early, getting a cup of coffee and kicking back on the couch to watch That Chapter. I get so excited when I get that notification that he’s posted a new video. It’s always something I look forward to.
🐊🐊🐊 so that's how you spell Oh0?
I agree wholeheartedly.
That chapter is the one and ONLY channel I check my notifications for to check his new release, I’ve seen each episode already and am disappointed when I need a Mike fix and there aren’t any new vids that I haven’t watched already.
He’s so funny and his Witt is on point given the sensitivity of some of his reports he is never unprofessional or speaks out of turn.
Nice one Mike. 👍🐜🇬🇧
Agree! Me too. He's my favorite! :)
I prefer making love to black chicks, and Mexicans ❤️
i will argue mrballen is wayyyy better. this guy just talks normally its not story telling type of talk
Love the new format with longer stories! You are literally the only creator that I never miss an episode from.
me too.
His outfit changes are delicious 🤣
Thank you Mike! Just.... thank you! I'm an epileptic single mum with two little ones who both have suspected autism so things are extremely rough. Your videos help me so much that I really can't say thank you enough. So again a massive thankyou and online hug. Thank you Mike! Xx
Thank you so much!! That means so much to me to read that, it really makes this so meaningful to me
Hi I just wanted you to know that I am sending love and prayers your way! You are strong and even when things get tough you will be ok. ❤️ 🙏
I'm sorry that you're struggling. This channel helps me escape my problems for a while at a time. Praying for better days 🙏 for you and your kids! I was raised by a single mom, and she's the biggest blessing I've ever had. Keep up the good work, your kids love you
I have two brothers, one with downsyndrome. So I kind of understand how hard it may be for a single mom of kids with disorders, just do the best you can. :)

@@Stichting_NoFa-p bro, you don't know what people are going through. Quit being so cynical.
Mike, I have read through many of the comments on your posts, and the praise is well earned. You continue to show us fresh, and interesting content in your trademark idiom. Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication.
Agreed
Mike is an international treasure. I hope he continues his awesome solo work and never takes a big Netflix contract or similar. Not that he doesn’t deserve the big money, but it would ruin the heart of the show.
How dare u call him an idiot!!! Rude
Well said!
That ever popular thingy about life insurance over divorce gets me every time. Nice storytelling, as always Mike. I think I speak for all the subscribers in saying we deeply appreciate all your hard work bringing us these stories.
Yes, we do appreciate his hard work! I also appreciate his wise cracks when the case is getting uncomfortable. They are perfectly placed and respectful of the victim(s). “They met at a racetrack…of course they did” got me!! Poor Chad. Dear God, this woman loved her wrinkled forehead, didn’t she?! Yes, I am being rude, but she’s a killer, and I hope I am not the only one thinking it. I’m not into using filters, but good grief 🤷🏼♀! Why take a selfie of your forehead?? Her voice: is it authentic? My voice can sound a bit fake, but it’s truly not fake (I wish it was a bit deeper in tone.) Hers seems so sugary. I need to stop typing and go back to the video, as she’s about to be interviewed by police!!!
I work in a major broadcast network in my country, whenever I want to see quality content, I watch you, mike. Your hard work is truly appreciated.
P.s. love the new thumbnail style.
Ps the new thumbnails are hideous
I'm not well right now and lying under my duvet tent listening to this episode comforted by your voice like an old pal. Thanks Mike 🤕
All the other true crime tellers I’ve gotten bored of but not you Mike! Still here! Telling these are so sad but you manage to keep it humorous in some way with your jokes in between, the most genuine I’ve seen and I’m a big fan ☺️
Have to agree watched loads others non compare
Have you checked out Murder She Shed? She really finds the unusual lesser publicized cases and shows she really cares. Some find her voice off putting butting but I think she's wonderful and needs way more subs.

You're beautiful.. wanna talk??
Even the detective asks Nikki to speak up a couple of times during the interrogation, it's that hard to hear her at times and at others virtually impossible. Her story had so many holes, it didn't take them long to unravel it. she was literally hoping her little lost school girl voice would get her through it. What an idiot.
She is a tool! She is where she belongs!
Guilt will do that to ya
No, when it comes to this decision, she was actually pretty clever. She did what worked best for her in life and stuck to it. You'd be surprised how many women get through life very succesfully and comfortably with this little lost girl routine. It worked so many times for them, they're simply not used to having to deal with somebody who doesn't fall for it. So it was only logical, Nikki chose the exact strategy that helped her in many other situations so far. Especially with men.
Greetings from Germany :)

RIP Chad🙏🏽💔🕊.....Mike,thank you for bringing the humor into these otherwise heartbreaking cases
@@mollyk5557 How does someone telling the story of a murder keep the person that was murdered from resting in peace?? You make no sense whatsoever. And I'm sure there are many that would argue that telling their story to others keeps them alive in the hearts and minds of those being told the story. Either way how can you or anyone else make the claim you did?? You have absolutely ZERO clues or idea if the person is resting in peace or not and whether telling the story of their murder keeps them from finding peace or not.
Yes!! With Thanksgiving in 2 days, I will express how grateful I am for Mike dropping us another awesome video! Thanks Mike! Giant hugs to you 🤗 ❤️

I'm totally happy for evil people like this to mess up in interrogations but... this is why you ask for a lawyer. She knew she was done when the questioning got tough. Another great video - thanks Mike!
same when drunk people talk them own selves into agreeing to road side sobriety tests. people in positions that should know better and half way through theyre like "im fucked, YOURE MAKING ME GUILTY" well you had a choice
This gal messed up a lot more than the interrogation smh She has to be one of the dumbest murderers ever...lol
@@MrPaxio I mean, you don’t have to take the sobriety test, but I think you do have to take the breathalyzer…and if you don’t then I’m pretty sure that means you basically fail automatically…if I remember right??
The police had a pretty air tight case against her not much a lawyer could do even if she asked for one. Look at the trial itself-They called 40 witnesses against her, and her defense called none. Even her own lawyers didn't try. They had the video placing her at the scene, and the life and home insurance policy was a no brainer.
The cases on this channel are narrated w/ just the right balance of wit & snark without being disrespectful or offensive. Easily the politest, most gentlemanly way of sharing harrowing tales of murderous mayhem. Subbed & settling in...
Always been a fan but the way you tell the story now, the longer format and the more relaxed background, is amazing. I love it. And you! ✨️❤️
Couldn’t of said it better, totally agree! 💖🫶🏼
Not trying to be a pes but it’s normal time maybe a couple mins more I was hoping for a whole episode like 40 minutes. I’m grateful but sucks being only once a week now.

It's still almost unbelievable to me that people actually plan to kill someone they once loved and then do it? When you could just get divorced and leave and never see them again? I know money is a motivator in some cases, but wouldn't you calm down enough to get your brain back to normal, knowing you'd be the first suspect before stupidly trying your plan? Thanks Mike, for another excellent presentation. Happy New Year!

What a heartless soul. It's also kind of scary to know one can take out a life insurance policy on someone without their knowledge, and then take their life like it doesn't matter. It's messed up, seriously. I do hope they enjoy their stay behind bars where they both belong. The insurance dance helped me not be too sad about only one video, so thanks for that, Mike! Have a great week 😊
I believe there should be some notification sent when someone takes out an insurance policy on someone else and notification of subsequent changes in that policy.
It's INSANE the insured may have No Idea and is just wrong.
I agree but in this case it was Chad who took out the policy
Secret insurance policies are definitely crazy. There's also tons of cases where police don't find out about the insurance policy for 10 years, or shit like that. Insurance policies should be searchable like criminal records are searchable, for police.
I understood that Chad had taken out the policy himself. If so I'm sure it was at her urging, you know, for the children.
There really are no words special enough to describe how good you are Mike. Thanks for all the amazing effort, hard work and humour you inject into your wonderful videos. May long you continue. 👍

I love how Mike tells the story's and also just don't hold back and says what he's thinking he's such a good story teller I've been watching his videos for such a long time now
Many women would love a Chad in their life. And she has robbed not only another woman the chance to be happy with him, but taken his life, and probably wrecked his mum and dad's life too. Mike ... thank you for the life insurance dance, you made my night, my two nights, my week.
Exactly my thoughts, too! I'd give anything to have a partner who wants to the father my children and give us a home. Some people can have the world and get mad about it.
One less Chad is a good thing
Men like Chad are so, so rare. And this woman didn't respect or appreciate him for that rarity, and now the world is deprived of such a great guy because of her selfishness.
Exactly! Chad was raising her children in a nice town, beautiful home, he had a great job and supported them financially and he seemed to be a genuinely nice guy….she had what most women would be so thankful for….I can’t understand how anyone can be so heartless and cruel. So sad 😢
@@r.m.5548 I read this comment before I knew Chad was a guy in the video. You little devil 😈
Hi Mike, I just want you to remember that you have so much support and love behind you! You make your videos funny but respectful at the same time💗you deserve all the love you get, over 1.7 million subscribers, you deserve them.. at times do take breaks when needed as it can take a toll on your psyche, much love from UK🇬🇧hugs to you x
I think you should do a video in each state alphabetical order and then other places as well. Because not only are you such a great story teller you always give us fun facts about each place.
Thisssssssss!!!!!!
No one else can tell stories like you!! You are hilarious! I'm always thankful when they have life insurance 🎉🎉😂😂
Thank you for taking the pain for us, as you have to watch the content to spare us that pain, I appreciate your hard work & also your humor...but you're the best of the best, love ya! Be safe, stay you ♡♡♡
As sad as this is I can't help but laugh constantly. I love your sense of humor.
What gets me about cases like this is the intersection of cruelty and just... sheer stupidity. It's astounding that people like Nikki can go through their lives being mean, dumb little cretins and not even being subtle about it, and yet the only time anything is done about it is *after* somebody is dead.
once it stops working for one guy they move onto another. there's an endless supply of lonely gullible men willing to be duped by these sociopaths unfortunately
The power of 🐈 I'm afraid.
The stupidity of being at a hotel with cameras, and hauling items from the house into the hotel. These are really low IQ people; and they didn't make up for it in the looks dept. either.
We love ya too Mike!! Thanks for helping me through my work day. Ur voice Is so good. Not boring but not too much. Love it. 😊
RIP, Chad...you deserved so much better.
I adore you & your channel.. you’re amazing at wrapping up a whole story in less than an hr & hitting all the main juicy points. plus on top of that your tirty trees, tirteens, & let’s give it a GOOOO’s will never get old. xoxo 😉
Nailed it. I love his accent. Also, he is quite witty and funny, too. Brilliantly telling horrific tragedies with respect and facts.
It's completely forced and faked though every single time
So you're beautiful.. wanna talk, trade videos or something
What can I say except greed, ignorance, and deceit knows absolutely NO bounds!!!
I love them all. The longer, shorter, whichever you bless us with!
We love ya Mike.
Another brill show Mike. Your heading for the two million at this stage. No doubt about. Keep doing what your doing’cause we love ya’ ❤
I've had the pleasure of being friends with some people from North Dakota. They are some of the kindest, most genuine people I've met. There are bad apples even on the best of trees.
Native ND’s…. The “oil boom” didn’t bring in the “best of the best” to my home state.
Mike, the world loves you!!! I'm Jenny. Im 51 and homeless. Im thankful for my cell phone because I can honestly say that without you and your show, I'd be really unhappy, loney, and probably watching a different program right? I love watching your stories and you are hysterical. So, great job and thank you for always giving it a gooo! Lol
We love you too! Xoxo
I love your “let’s give it a go!” catchphrase. Other TH-camrs start their videos like “Join us as we….”, which is just plain terrible. I love your stories and the way you tell them. I have seen them all! Love it!
Hey Mike, I live in Ingersoll, Ontario. I was married in Bellewood , 1982. I love your videos! I have watched most of them. Your take and insight is very refreshing. ❤
Mike, I'm IN LOVE with these longer videos! Any time I can listen to a long true crime story, I'm THERE. Thanks Mike 😊
I love your humour and sarcasm, even though the cases are very serious. You make me chuckle!!!
Started watching TC back when there were just 500 subscribers. Now I see there's millions now. Well deserved because, although the subject matter is often quite gruesome, it's also very interesting. I love the humour which is lacking in many crime channels.
@@johnsoens5185 I actually laughed out loud when I read your comment! Moose
Lol great timing! I just watched her interrogation last night, this completes this case perfectly. Thanks for all your work.
Me too haha
I feel sorry for these lawyers that have to defend such pieces of junk. Once I would realize that they are guilty I wouldn’t be able to defend anymore
she is a cockroach
Wouldn't defend someone who kept talking instead of shut up and ask for a lawyer
I am unceasingly intrigued by good defense attorneys. They take their purpose seriously, which is to show any reasonable doubt, and they will stop at nothing to provide that doubt. Though I understand the logic, I do not think I could put it into practice and feel peace in my life.
You have to have the belief that everyone is entitled to the best defense available.
I’ve seen this case before but you covered it in so much more depth Mike and that’s why you have such following because you do it best. 🏆
Thanks Mike just got to work doing security at the Gatehouse and this came in a perfect timing you're the man bro
Hope your work goes well my man!
I hope you are still being vigilant
Bro get off ur phone some security hfs

I’m really loving these longer format videos, Mike! I’m a long-time subscriber to your channel from Georgia, USA and I have enjoyed watching you grow and evolve! Keep up the awesome work!
Thank you Mike ! Love your new back ground , your appreciated ! God Bless you and family .❤️🙏🇨🇦
Thanks Heather!! Appreciate that!
The Always Sunny clip of Mac eating the contract at the end killed me 😂 you’re the best Mike!!
I look forward to these videos more than what comes on TV. Great job as always Mike. The longer content is better to for me at least gives it more room for the story.
Tv?TV?? What's that? 🤣😂 dang I can't even remember the last time I sat down to watch tv.... gotta love TC!
We cancelled cable & who needs it when we have Mike?!?
