I feel so bad for that brother, he clearly cared so much about his sister and put himself in such a rough place to get justice for her. The part where he starts defending her and realizes he needs the full confession and goes "sorry I'm just throwing a tantrum, keep going" the level of restraint and mental fortitude to be able to catch yourself in that moment is intense.
@@chaz1848 If you don't care about getting justice for your sister, then yeah, go ahead and lose it on the guy. This brother never stopped fighting for his sister and waited for the full confession before he punched the ahole.
@@chaz1848 ahh, you've never been to jail and it shows. Death is easy. Killing someone is easy. Being alone with your thoughts for 20+ years... not so much.
I was one of Lea’s friends. Thank you for covering this case! She was a beautiful human! She saved my feet from freezing off in a surprise blizzard one day. Such a beautiful soul. I hope she’s at peace, wherever she is.
I went to school with Chris Waide. Everyone thought he was creepy then, and when Maxx's sister went missing, the second we found out Chris was one of the last to see her, we all immediately knew who was responsible. Thanks for giving this story exposure EWU. Love Maxx and his family and still think about this every day.
None of you decided to bully that kid? I had one weird dude in my middle school and he got picked on hard and to this day he hasn't done anything to anyone else. That's been 15 years now since I last seen him
What really disgusted me was his two classmates at the end who were defending him on Facebook. Ur “friend” just murdered and potentially raped a girl. IT COULD HAVE BEEN ONE OF YOU INSTEAD if you trusted him enough to go to his house. Imagine being Lea’s family and seeing someone defend the person who just took away ur precious daughter, sister, cousin, auntie, niece, etc. How horrible.
And then telling him to "shut up". I mean God forbid the man accidentally blurts out the truth. These women are evil, and evil people are attracted to each other.
I wouldn't be surprised they had sex with him. They didn't see his behaviour as unbecoming or truly unvelcome(sexual advances). To Lea on the other hand, he was a monster preying on a downed, she didn't want any part of it, and when things didn't go his way he forced it. After the fight that happened he didn't want any part of the fallout so he killed her. To the ones defending him it's Lea who's too good for her own good, fighting the person they were emotionally conected to she got what she got. Pulling this out my ass though. My sense of self regarding empathy may be overblown and i'm totally wrong on that.
@@donrainesohxactly, they seek this "justified situation" where you can kill someone despite it being completely immoral and illegal, albeit understandable.
It is unreal that Chris was willing to tell her brother and ex-boyfriend that he killed her. And it’s even more unbelievable that her brother and ex-boyfriend didn’t beat him to a pulp afterward. Incredible restraint.
Weird. I don't understand it. I've seen other cases where a father shot his daughters killer and got away completely free and it was justified. So it's certainly very odd
i would've went into a blind rage. she has an amazing brother.. it's better he let the law take care of things, or they both could've wound up going to prison for this nutbag.
@@RagnarokPKXD Laws are different everywhere. If they killed him then they would have to do time when he was the one that deserves to be in jail and suffer all that entails with it. They know he wouldn't get away with it so they let the legal system take care of the scumbag. But if he didn't confess, who knows what would have happened. Either way, I definitely can't imagine having the same self restraint. Her brother and friends are incredible people whose lives have forever been changed because of this deranged individual whose mother most definitely should have gotten him therapy when she still had some control over him.
it's hilarious when chris starts his confession, telling the story about how she threatened him with the knife to buy drugs, Maxx goes "she would not do that you stupid moron stop lying" and then notices he's interrupting the confession and immediately apologizes "sorry of course she attacked you please continue"
I actually laughed at that too. I probably would've done the same. I commend Maxx for sitting through that nonsense in the name of justice for his sister.
That whole story felt so weird and inhuman, it was like he was telling them what happened in a novel or a TV show or something. I tried to imagine what I would say to a guy if I accidentally killed his sister in self-defense, and there's no way I don't just immediately start with "she's dead, I'm so sorry man, it was a terrible accident", instead of going on and on about how exactly we were standing with the knife or whatever.
@@TheTacticalHaggis For real like guys who say they're nice guys and treat women well until they reject them and then it's "Fuck you bitch you're ugly anyway" Worship them until you can't use them anymore type mentality
Most people with one/more Cluster-B personality disorders (more so NPD or BPD, rather than ASPD) revert to DARVO (deny, attack, reverse, victim, oppressor). It's ingrained into their psyche. It's evident that their real persona knows the truth, when they embark on a smear-campaign preemptively. They do DARVO even when the target/victim's life/livelihood isn't in danger ... even when the shenanigans aren't criminal, yet would be consider foul behavior by society. The most sinister form of the preemptive smear-campaign is done by the "vulnerable/covert narcissist". as they are so convincing in re-writing their entire life to present themselves as the self-sacrificing communal pillar or the perpetual victim. It's so insidious many will be fooled for years, some even decades. Checkout any support group for recovering survivors of narcissistic abuse and you'll see repeatedly stated "Coverts are the worse!"
Those girls backing him and giving him advice is insane. Disgusting that you can face someone after they murdered your classmate. Poor Lea was taken too soon
Her brother is the real mvp here. He had such awareness to back off when he started to defend his sister. To put himself in that situation and stil have the mental fortitude to stay the plan after he confessed he knew she was dead and get the whole confession. There's allt of people who wouldn't have let it get that far. He did his sister a solid
I always thought the same thing until it happened to me, my sister was killed by a drunk driver and as much as the desire may be to do something you have to realize what that would mean for your parents - you don't want them to lose both children y'know? But in my case the death was accidental and the drunk driver expressed guilt over it... idk what I would really do in her brother's situation
That guy's a real one indeed he's the man, i think he may have massacred that punk on the spot if there wasn't people in the room to stand between them.
I can't imagine how hard it must be to look your sibling's murderer in the face, hear them pulling a bs story about how the victim attacked first, and have to just sit there and act like you're accepting it just on the hope that you can record a confession.
They did a really good job. The ex starts the Convo about the murder which is probably too much for the brother (I feel like he almost lashed out then remembered they're there for a confession). The brother also stopped the friend from asking "why he didn't call the cops" which isn't really an important question but could potentially shut Chris from talking. He calming stop her and ask Chris about what happened next to continue the confession. I wouldn't be able to think when the killer of my siblings is talking how they killed them or tarnish their personality to suit the killer's story.
Thats from what i hear happened to marvin gaye. Google says he intervened with his parents which as far as im concerned is up in the air he cant defend himself and a good lawyer would mitigate the charge
I'm glad this guy was caught. I found it funny though about how his mom straight up put him in the most negative light possible when describing him to the detectives. She could have said anyyyything. But she went straight to "yeah he was discharged from the military because he hallucinates. Oh, and he had a crazy porn addiction in highschool and tried to kidnap a girl once". Like damn even his mom thought he was a huge creep lmao.
The brother shows incredible self control by not pummelling that guy to death then and there when he confesses to killing his sister, together with the supposed slander about her behaviour and the excuses - I can't imagine how hard that must have been to listen to. Really love your channel, it is so insightful and interesting, despite the dark subject matter.
the brother didn't do anything violent because he was also guilty about the wrong path her sister took (relationship with a 40yo as a teenager, end up as a heroin addict,....). it was guilt for not having done anything as an older brother
@@GurkoKurdo Yeah she was a teenager, but she was 19, an adult by two years. The brother went off to start a life and a career, it wasn't his job to tell her who she could date and I doubt he could have prevented anything had he been there. What was he going to do, beat up the 40 year old dude?
Chris sounds like a textbook example of a 'Nice Guy'. He presents himself as better than all these other guys, and does things for vulnerable girls with the expectation that they then owe him sex etc, and if they don't worship the ground he walks on after he does something for them, it enrages him and he shows his true colors.
Makes me think of those creeps who are members of the group of involuntary celibate men. They claim women owe them sexual access basically because they are male. Thus superior to women!!
Never had proper relationships with women just intimate with a an x box and hours of videos that a large deal of modern population the last ten 15 years back oh well
Listening to this killer is unnerving. You can hear his anti social comments, and you can hear his detachment from emotion. I am glad that you showed so many pictures of the victim. She should be the focus
@@hyeonwoo72 I'd imagine it's disturbing with the added context of his actions. The combo of antisocialism and being detached from emotions can cause someone to be more likely to commit abuse or crimes like these. Obviously not everyone with these traits will be like that, but a high amount are.
@@whatisthis1958 Emotions are more prone to drive someone to commit crimes than being detached from emotions, prison is filled with more neurotypicals (who are actually guilty) than neurodivergent people. Sure, being detached from emotions and being antisocial (it's actually asocial, because antisocial is a personality disorder while asocial is more like isolation by choice, probably.) can drive people to commit crimes and do immoral acts or engage in socially unacceptable behaviour, but I just don't think that there's anything wrong with being detached from emotions and asocial because many individuals do not commit crimes or hurt people in horrible ways.
I normally try to give the benefit of the doubt to parents of killers when they’ve done all they can do… this is NOT one of those cases. Your son tells you about violent fantasies he’s having and even told you he planned on kidnapping and killing someone earlier that night… and you do absolutely nothing. Family love is damning to say the least
Lol right if I told my mom that she would call the cops. I've been depressed before because of drug addiction man it's lonely. If u aren't mentally strong it'll ruin you.
It must be hard to be confronted by something like that from your own son and you'd want to support him. But the best way would be to ensure he doesn't get to act on it. I'm sure the father with his porn had an impact on his development and attitude towards women.
Look at the Gabbie Petito case - after the son murdered Gabbie the parents obstructed justice in every way possible, even writing at the top of the letter from the mother to Brian to ‘destroy after reading’. The numerous cases involving incels murdering innocent people because the guy can’t find a girlfriend or talk to girls - upon investigation we find that the parents ignored many warnings from the school and counselors that their child had dangerous ideas and delusional thinking. They knew the kid /young man had weapons, knew he had emotional problems and actively covered them up to what end? Embarrassment that they have a child with mental health problems? Afraid they’d be blamed for said issues? Like you said, family love and decisions are damning to say the least!
I really admire the way Maxx handled himself during the confession, if my sibling's murderer tried to sell me an obviously fake version of events, trying to make themselves look like the victim, I wouldn't have been able to keep my composure nearly as long as he did
I must be a rare breed. I can keep my cool even longer. I would have had him talk about another 5 min. I want IRREFUTABLE evidence. I want the confession, what you did afterwards & a few more nails for the coffin. But I don’t know no one else like me. That’s why when I do play detective like this for people, I have to LIE to them, to exclude them from the interrogation because they last all of 2 seconds and WASTE WEEKS of hard stalking I’ve done and/or can’t stfu & let the person talk. And people act like being a therapist, investigator, detective or even cop is so simple. I hope people realize investigating requires patience and the intellect to understand verbal cues.
@@childishgambino4845I don’t have the patience you do but I agree , I can’t imagine how hard a detective job is. They literally have to be patient, sympathize with the suspect, be nice and agree with them etc I wish I could be like that but I get so aggravated I’d done blew my cover in no time. But I understand why they do what they do. It’s to get the full story and to find out exactly every detail of everything that happened. I respect that.
@@childishgambino4845Unless you have actually had to sit across and get a confession from a person who murdered your lil sister, how tf would you know?
@childishgambino4845 yes. To interrogate, you have to have calm. You must be stoic. I don't know how old you are and/or how much training/challenges you had to make you so calm, but, kudos. I'm only 37, working on my patience every day. Just yesterday someone tested my patience. I didn't get angry or raise my voice, like I normally would have done. For me, it's a conscience effort, everyday, to not be infuriated by the lack or empathy and the DISRESPECT I see around me, daily. But I'm working on controlling my anger, because people won't take me serious if I'm angry/yelling.
Amazing brother. Even going and confronting him.. i cant imagine how he was feeling in that moment knowing he was face to face with his sisters murderer. They were so close. What a beautiful sibling relationship. I hope he will somehow be able to find peace.
@@TheZigzach Ikr, I can't imagine what I would have done to him. Kudo's to the brother for keeping himself in check, it takes great control to not kill him.
I don't think I would be able to control myself, but at the same time I can't say for sure because the sheer shock of something so terribly heartbreaking might just cause complete shut down as well. One of those, never know till you're in that situation type of things, but God knows you hope you never have to find out. My heart goes out to him.
I get what you’re saying, I really do. But, the reason they give deals in situations like this, is that a confession and pleading guilty, takes away the need for a trial, and therefore the family of the victim doesn’t have to go through a trial, or any shit talk from a defence lawyer. It also, in many cases, gives the family of the victim the full story, and, hopefully, leads to the body. On the flip side, a guilty verdict at the end of a trial, usually ends with a much longer sentence, because the perpetrator has fought against everything and generally a defence lawyer will shit talk the victim, will help from their client, and come out with all sorts of things to victim-blame and pass-the-buck. So a deal is swifter and easier than a trial, and takes away the chance of a mistrial or a not guilty verdict. Hope that makes sense xxx
I'm rarely so taken aback by the bravery people can summon to get justice in cases like this. Maxx is the kind of sibling anyone would be lucky to have. That group of friends was very clever: their recording is crystal clear, their approach was tactful, and the level of pressure they apply is balanced. You can feel the tension in that meeting. I'm beyond impressed. Wishing all friends and family peace and healing, though I know the full depth of those feelings are near impossible here. Rest easy, Lea.
The self control that they had was superhuman, particularly Maxx, to not lunge at him and strangle him to death when he not only described how he murdered Lea but was clearly trying to paint her as the aggressor. I don't know if I could have had so much self restraint if I was in their shoes.
How embarrassing for those classmates of his after he was found to be one of the most depraved people to ever enter their lives. Before the trial, I guess when they found out Lea was an addict, they assumed the worst, judged her too harshly, and believed that she started the attack. My heart goes out to Lea and her family, she just wanted to fix her life and this monster took advantage of that.
Yeah people completely dehumanize and judge addicts immediately I mean it's a common thing for murderers to be viewed as innocent just because the victim was or even had been an addict at some point, no matter the evidence and even coroner's report saying not overdose etc
I also being an addict know that addicts will do things you would never think of. Its 100% true... robbing grandmothers dying of cancer to murder for hire. So yes it is unfortunate we dehumanize and judge but this girl needed help more than just finding her a place to stay and no one thought to get her this. If her family is this mad at someone else they should also feel the guilt of what they could of done when she did get clean and went back to the drug. She was seeking help and I have a feeling family judge more harshly and this I know first hand. The thing was I was never even on hard drugs or drink like she was.
I applaud this monster’s mother for being honest about her son’s issues. That had to be difficult for her. But WTF is up with these high school friends simping and drooling over him. There are some SICK and deranged women out there.
There are some sick and deranged humans out there. Pretend for a moment that you're creating the most perfect human who is the most caring, righteous, loving, honest, good, trustworthy, and dependable person possible who is nothing but integrity and purity personified in human form. Having done that, I'm telling you right now that there are people out there who are the exact polar opposite of that person and they think THEY are the good one. I'll also tell you that there's a stunningly high number of people who will disagree with your perfect person's thoughts, actions, beliefs, etc. "Giving up your seat to an old person or a pregnant woman or a child on a full bus/train is always the right thing to do." "I will never give up my seat. The old folks don't work. The pregnant woman made that decision to get and stay pregnant so that's not my problem. The kid is young and lightweight and they can handle standing. I on the other hand, have worked a full 8 hour shift at the grocery store and my feet hurt. My legs are tired from walking around, and I have to walk home later. I'M THE ONE who deserves to sit. I'm paying taxes that go to the old guy's retirement, the kid's schooling, and I'm probably paying for the pregnant woman's healthcare and the baby's WIC benefits when it eventually pops out in a couple months. I ain't getting out of this seat." It's remarkable how people are able to live this way in the same time and place. 🤷🏻♂️
Sorry, but if my son told me he had tried to kidnap and murder a woman in a trailer, I would have gone straight to the police. His mother kept this information to herself.
Oh I have a feeling after the trial these local high school friends of his were ostracized by the community for supporting a sadist , child predator & killer . When they get married & have children of their own they will have to live with the embarrassment that their faces & comments are on the internet forever.
Chris' "groupies" are disgusting.....they paid him no mind, UNTIL, he murdered an innocent girl. And, if Max hadn't stepped in, who knows how many more victims, this psycho might've stacked up. God Bless, Max and his family.
Right? Amazing how girls did not pay attention to him until they realized he was akiller. That always worried about why girls are attracted to men like that. Also, I'm sure this guy has some form of autism.
His mom casually mentioning the red flags that she had seen for years, like the fact that he actually attempted something years earlier and that she was well aware what his intentions were at that time. That's something that will stay with me. I've dated a few narcissists with mothers like this. It's astonishing the level of denial they have to evade responsibility for creating a monster like this. Or even acknowledge that their baby might someday really hurt someone. Not hard to see where the monsters got the mental gymnastics from after all.
My grandmother would defend my uncle's lies and accusations in spite of a sickening letter he wrote threatening her and scolded me for providing his parole officer with a copy of the threatening letter.
I'm curious what a mother can actually do about this. If they are an adult and some people are born this way. Not created. I mean what is she supposed to do ? Kill him and go to prison for her life? Not knowing if the child will actually do something bad.
@oicuff1635 The matter of the fact is, if she noticed something these obvious crimson flags. She should have done something about it. Obviously not kill him- Get him help. Get him therapy. People having morbid thoughts like these, especially with proven intent and/or desire to act of them should not be ignored. She as his guardian while he was in high school should have gotten checked out and treated so he wouldn't be a harm to society. Regardless if he was born or became this way. Actually in the scenario that he was created this way, it shows more about his home life as a child and or his mother raising him.
@@oicuff1635 I won't copy what pastelaura8179 said but if you or I were a mother and your son confessed as a child/young teenager to you about his desire to act on hurting people, would you simply sweep it under the rug and carry on as normal or would you seek immediate help for your son before something tragic happens? A choice like this for a parent isn't a simple one not in the slightest and for 2 reasons, 1) the embarrassment you as a parent would feel for seeking the help and just knowing there is something very wrong with your child, worrying about this information being spread without you knowing about it and 2) some parents would think that there is nothing wrong with their kid and allow them to continue with these morbid curiosities/thoughts completely unaware that more often than not their kid will eventually act out on those morbid curiosities/thoughts in the future, therefore basically living in denial about it all or not taking it as serious as they should of done but then it's too late to go back. No.2 sounds like a reach but that is a factual statement or comment. History always repeats itself and we learn about it, not from it.
Those girls who defended and supported him after what he did are absolutely vile and disgusting, they should feel ashamed of themselves. I hope after they educated themselves more on this case they realized how wrong that was.
So strange. A guy I knew growing up ended up killing a girl. I hadn't lived there in over a decade, but was not surprised to find out he was in prison for that. I was surprised to find some other people (all female) we all grew up with talking about he must be innocent. I get the feeling they just cannot allow themselves to believe this guy (who was very popular) would do this. I, being a dude, and knowing his psycho ways when we were teens, was not shocked at all that he ended up working his way to violence against a woman. Some people just do not want to look at the world as it is.
A girl threatened me with a knife once in her apartment. I managed to get the knife off of her & restrained her. Never once crossed my mind to use it on her. That's why I always think these men are lying when they act like they didn't have a choice.
I completely agree I had moments l Iike that with my ex wife. Once the weapon is removed from the situation there absolutely no reason to use it on them unless your life is actually in grave danger. If the other person had no weapon anymore the threat is gone. Even if they are throwing punches its still no reason to use the weapon.
Lea's brother has more self control than I could ever dream of having. I had to take a walk after hearing Chris' secret confession cuz of how angry it made me, and her brother was able to let him keep talking and lie about how he was justified in strangling his sister- imo the worst, most disrespectful way to kill someone. The world is missing a wonderful, bright woman because of that monster. Rest easy, Lea xx
Something that always makes me really frustrated about these interrogations is when they start to disparage the victim’s character, as if to blame their own actions on the victim. Like they think the police will believe they deserved it in some way. Him trying to make her seem violent or a lowly addict when she was just someone who was lonely and needed help was just so disgusting.
This case is one of the saddest I've heard of. Lea was trying so hard to get her life back together but she was struggling and she really needed a friend and someone took advantage of her instead. It's just incredibly sad, her relationship with her brother was so beautiful and I can't believe he has to live the rest of his life without his sister, he loved her so so much. I hope Lea is at peace now and that the people that love her get to be with her again someday 🙏
@blackpepe Don't victim blame, it's not classy. That had nothing to do with her being murdered and just because she made a mistake doesn't mean she deserved to have this happen to her.
@@blackpepewow. It's simple for a lot of us but the stories are never black and white. So you're just being an asshole. And you don't have to do heroin to be killed. Smh
@@blackpepe I mean it’s good advice but not really the most important part of what happened here… She sounded like she stood a good chance of beating her addition before some nut bag killed her.
The fact that her body has never been found haunts and guts me, plus her poor brave brother interviewing him just broke me cuz you could hear the pain in his heart when he interrupted then before he hit him, just so sad. I hope she’s resting peacefully and that she gets found ❤
Yeah once any body is thrown in the dumpster they most likely will never be found because the landfills are so large thats why alot of killers choose that method. Its really upsetting i feel so bad for her family
@@bimobop i'm not sure, maybe he didn't throw her in the trash - you can't believe a word he says and he would have wanted the body to never be found as it would provide evidence
We know he lied about almost everything. Why would he tell the truth about that and then potentially have evidence that overrides his “self defense” claim?
It absolutely sucks to see young people with a potentially bright future ahead of themselves being introduced into drugs by someone older who’s life is already struggling and on a downward spiral.
I agree, it’s sad asf. I was introduced to drugs by myself cause my parents were pretty clueless on pills. They just knew opiates=bad. Sooo, they had saved all of them over years in an open space in the kitchen before they found out I was addicted to them. I had gone thru somethin traumatic & then my mom got cancer, so I was taking anything to cope. I had some older ppl reach out to me when I was 17, 18 and wanting more. I found out later that one of the older ladies was involved in pimping girls out. She admitted A LOT to me over the phone whilst she was very messed up. She basically told me that I was lucky I had an overdose and got sober before I got close to her cause she had some “plans” for me cause she wasn’t a “good person” back then. Crazy. It made sense to me then why she had been messaging me right before I OD’d bout getting a Brazilian wax from her cousin and was promising me things. It was so random….but I was naive as hell.
Its always a bad sign when you see someone barely out of childhood start a relationship with someone late into adulthood, especially one with a criminal or drug record. Bad signs all over but what can be done now.
48 years total with possibility of parole after ONLY 30 years is just unfair and heartbreaking ..... he even refused to tell where he hid the body,how is he not getting life in prison or even a death sentence for this
agreed. death penalty worthy for sure. if this dude ever gets out, whose to say he changes or is rehabilitated and wont try to do this type of shit again???
Theres no way this was a self defense. He fulfilled his fantasies and r**ed and killed that girl. Notice how he never fumbled once over his words when he tells them how he gets rid of the body, but when he tells the self defense story he's CONSTANTLY fumbling. "Uhm, but, well, honestly." But then can tell the story of disposing her without flinching. Props to Max for keeping his composure until the end and I'm glad he got to punch this creep in the face 🎉
Difference between planning something for a long time, and having to come up with something on the spot...jeez. I don't know how the brother kept himself together for the confession to come out, or why there are girls defending him after the news reported what happened
I do not believe for a second that Lea willingly had sex with this guy. As soon as he said they had sex my thought was, "He raped her or had sex with her after she died and is making this story up to cover the fact that if they find her body, his DNA will be in her." As odd as Chris' family is, I'm glad his mother came forward with the horrific information about her son. I'm sure that wasn't easy for her to do. I also am super proud of the brother for being able to compose himself enough to get a confession. Love the bandage on his hand in the interrogation video from where he punched him. Haha. Those girls at the end... Oof. I really hope now that they have seen the WHOLE side of Chris they have wised up and stopped supporting him because that was honestly so disgusting and cringe. It's clear that no story Chris gave was the truth so we may never truly know what happened to her. It's just a shame they cut a deal with him so he wont have to serve as long of time.
i didnt understand those girls at the end. theres a percentage of women that fall in love with killers for some reason. those 2 wouldve loved ted bundy as well. i'll never understand it.
@@doodlebob2023 Oh, yeah. Richard Ramirez also got married in prison. There are a LOT of killers fans and people who crush on them. It's really sick and is actually pretty scary to know these killer worshipers probably walk beside us pretty often in life because they clearly aren't right in some capacity.
I'm enough of a creep to know that despite the 38 year old guy and the heroin use she's way too cute to willingly allow this creep to touch her. The girls at the end would have been working with police or even her family as an alternative way to try and extract more information or manipulate him in to the worst possible position. Their behaviour and words were all non-genuine and just looked like bad acting.
Just look at his pillow in his bedroom lol hd probably felt like she liked him and he tried having sex with her since he wad helping her out and he got mad. I know alot of men do this and expect to be more than friends and the girl wants nothing romantic with them
Lea meant alot to me, When we were in court the governer took all of us in a room and told us they offered him a plea bargain. Said they couldn’t prove that the sex wasn’t consensual and told Chris Waide that if he told us where he put Lea, that he would get second degree murder, Instead of first. He agreed and then referred to his original story. The epitome of a failure within our justice system. She has never been found but will forever be in mine, and so many other people hearts forever. We all love and miss you Lea and will never stop searching. Truly heartbreaking.
I don't understand that. I would think that if Lea is found, then plea deal is fine, if Lea is not found, then 1. degree murder. It's like a contract: both sides have to fulfill their duties.
@@user-gm8ll5hs4xright, that's how I thought it worked as well, also OP did you know Lwa and or Chris then? The way your Comment is worded leads me to believe you was
Why make a deal with a monster with that much blatant evidence against him? They didn't even get the body. He should have earned his deal by combing through the junkyard with his toothbrush until he found her. Absolutely sickening. Kudos to her brother and friends for somehow holding it together during that recording.
The most insane part of this whole story is the ungodly strength Maxx and Jesse had to not jump over that table and beat Chris to death, because I would've. I know for a fact I don't possess an ounce of the strength they both have. I can't even imagine the pain and horror they felt listening to the guy confess to brutally murdering their loved one.
He mentioned a dumpster. Its the only thing he said that I believe. POS was too lazy to do any more than bag her up in trash bags and heave her into the apartment complex's dumpster.
A rumor has gone around that he told someone in jail that he put her “here, there, and about.” But that is JUST A RUMOR! However, they brought cadaver dogs in to the dump site, and all they found was a pillowcase with her wallet and stuff in it, so the evidence leans toward that being at least partially true. However, their family is still accepting tips as to where the body may be. I was a friend of hers and if I lived anywhere NEAR Colorado, I’d be looking out and hunting for her too.
@@lilMALICEundead he wont tell anyone until it's to late to get DNA from her, i think he did a lot more unfortunately, there is some very sick people in this word that will do stuff too an alrdy dead person, and i have studied a lot on human psychology ect ect. i pick up a lot from these recordings, it's truly disturbing.....my daughter is 6, this is something that scares me everyday.
I cant believe he told his mom he was going to kidnap a girl. And she just let that be. At least she was forthright with police early on since she already had her doubts.
Don't blame the mom. Chris did it all himself his mom was niave but not her fault and he better not be getting VA benefits when he barely served after a murder I hope his benefits got taken away
@@erickiyoshiphillips2323 Wrong. The mom is very much to blame. It is so obvious that she does not care about any of his depravity. She uses it as a weapon against him and projects all her insanity onto him. She 100% played the shame game on him over his disgusting fantasies. She is an absolute whackjob.
Ive practiced Cartomancy since I was young, and the idea of doing a "Tarot Reading" while already knowing you've murdered this young woman and pretending that she'll "come back a changed woman" and giving false hope makes me physically feel sick.
Plus his readings and interpretations were entry level for tarot cards. I haven't read in over a decade and still remember how shocked I was at what the Devil card represented. The Tower is far more suggestive of an overtly negative outcome than the Devil, which is an astute warning, after a sort. That's just my very old recollection and I haven't touched a deck in nearly 15 years but that always stuck with me. I found tarot cards intimidatingly complex but appealing.
I also practice and just commented about that. It’s atrocious for that flea to even hold a card in his evil hands. Aside from his less than entry level “readings” it disgusts me that he’s holding such a profound tool after stealing someone else’s life, and gives the wrong impression about cartomancy/divination to boot. Of course what he did to an innocent young lady is most despicable and he’s truly a pathetic, evil individual but it’s just an unfortunate addon that he whips out tarot cards.
@@latetotheparty7551in truth they are far more representative of change, as it is the metaphorical death of a situation which might be uncomfortable. He also does not understand inversion or that the cards change in relation to one another and their positions.
Maxx is a very impressive young man. I can only imagine how difficult it was to see his sister go down such a dark path and then to sit there face to face during her murderer's confession and maintain his composure. He's very perceptive and intelligent. Would make a good investigator himself.
You know, nothing was actually presented to show she actually was on a dark path. No proof she was on drugs, none of it. Only what was told by her killer. And all Max did was whatever he thought would get the guy to confess. I'm willing to bet if the cops didn't do anything and he stayed on the streets, Max would have killed him.
As a brother myself, I can only give respect where respect is due. He likely felt guilty for not having done more during his sister's descent into drugs and depression, and this was the best way he saw that could make up for it. I can't imagine the pain he's been through as a result of all this. I'm not sure I would have had the same composure during that secret recording, as he displayed so himself.
I don't know tons of self-control doesn't seem likely. It wasn't only him but an ex-boyfriend as well. They both had self-control not to f*** this dude up. I don't buy it. Sending him to prison is a coward's way out. I get it be the bigger man and all that b*******. This dude raped and murdered your sister and you don't slap and lose it and beat the f*** out of him? I'm sure I'm about to get slaughtered by comments here but that's some p**** ass s***
@@jessetrapp8949 I'm not going to give you shit for your opinion, but I will say that I doubt his mother would want to lose two children because of that asshole. Justice doesn't always mean retribution, and I certainly wouldn't want to get thrown in jail for life for trying to get some.
@@adventuregames424 i understand, but this detail is quite interesting for me, given time and effort other murderers put into hiding bodies really far away from the crime scene (dismemberment, bleaching, throwing deep in the woods/river/etc and more), but the bodies are discovered later. Some are found right away, some are found when they are decomposing or bones. But he just casually threw her like a garbage near his own goddamn home, and she vanished the next day forever...
It's very interesting to see an interrogation with a lawyer in the room. I love how the lawyer recommends him not to answer specific questions, yet he answers them anyway. What's the point of asking to have legal advice if you're not going to listen to it? He's probably too narcissistic to realise he should obey his lawyer's advice, he thinks he knows better.
The lawyer seems very resigned too. I'd expect him to be more vehemently telling his client not to answer the question. It makes me think the lawyer probably told him not to speak to the police already and dude was doing this all against his attorney's counsel.
@@gen1exe let's be real for a second... even if it was MY job and duty to give *this asshole* good advice, I wouldn't be making a big effort either. Some of these people are exhausting to work with. Grandiose beyond the point of total cringe, completely unable to take any responsibility or to admit to any real wrongdoing, victimising themselves. There's a reason it's called "anti-social", because it's more than difficult for normal people to just accept that these people exist and that these things happen. Look up Sarah Boone. If you're unfamiliar with the case, I'll just say: she's due to be on trial for murder, and she's on her 6th (or 7th by now) lawyer. If she keeps going she might just end up getting murdered by one of them so they're rid of her lmao
The fangirls who video called him were absolutely disgusting but I can’t help but laugh when they yelled at him, “Do we need to teach you the 5th amendment? You have the right to shut the fuck up!” He straight up ignored his lawyer each time he tried to do his job and still thought the police would think he’s a “nice guy” by the end of it. Seriously though. He’s filth and so are his skanks.
if he was arrogant enough to assume he could outsmart the cops, then he probably thought, he could talk his way out of anything, in which case he has no need for the 5th... thankfully, his overinflated opinion of himself, was his downfall, i only wish he got life.
Yes, what is wrong with these girls? The one girl said I think about you a lot, probably more than I should. I wonder if these b****** were close with him before the murder? Or did they just love to love the cowardly Underdog? I'm not sure if they view him as an underdog because people are persecuting him? These are the type of girls that Strike Up penpal situations and Mary convicted murderers. Just goofy, but like you said, skanks. That is the best word to describe those two.
It’s extremely baffling and sickening to watch those people in the video calls stick up for him and show moral support to someone who wouldn’t do the complete opposite for them. He literally admitted to taking advantage of her and throwing her lifeless corpse into a dumpster. 🤦♂️
Yeah, I was quite baffled to see that I’m sitting here like what the fuck is actually going on the things that people will condone never cease to piss me off…
The patience and restraint Maxx showed toward the murderer of his own sister is frankly astounding. I'm really close with my sister and I'm pretty confident that if I were in the same situation, I doubt I'd have the forethought and self control necessary not to beat the ever loving shit out of the perpetrator. The fact he was not only able to pretend to be his friend, but actually get a confession (even if it wasn't the total truth) out of him is testament to Maxxs' character. Incredibly impressive.
Can we just appreciate how much this brother knew his sister and her habits and personality enough to be able to immediately call bullshit on his lies and hit that mf
1:01:05 riiight that's where I just got to... I am so jealous that they had this type of relationship but also it sucks that she got taken so early 😭😭😭
I noticed a small detail about this that brought me at least some joy was seeing the cast on Maxx's hand. It's pretty clear that he delivered one hell of a punch into Chris's disgusting face. GOOD, wear that shit like a badge of honor, Maxx. You were able to do what any good brother in the same situation probably wishes they could do, and I just know that Lea was cheering you on from beyond for bringing her justice. A part of me even hopes it left some type of scar, just because it would be a permanent reminder of your heroism.
Fun Fact: Chris's lawyer is playing 'hangman' on his sketchpad. Each time Chris says something incriminating, lawyer draws another element of the hangman picture.
It's sad that they never recovered the body so she could have a proper burial. The fact that he could plea bargain is ridiculous - did they think a sane jury would find him not guilty? He should get the death penalty
I heard this story in other videos and podcasts and As fucked up as it sounds , I think he dismembered and ate her . Usually killers will eventually just end up telling them where the body is but the way he’s denying it and sounds scared as if he’s embarrassed to admit he probably did what I said . Especially since his search history was filled about cannibalism after Lea went missing .
hearing that secret recording was one of the most painful parts of this story. i cant imagine what Lea went through. Maxx knew he was sitting right next to her killer. Maxx probably wanted to beat Chris within an inch of his life when he yelled at him for lying. neither of those siblings deserved to suffer.

So, he tried to sleep with her, she fought him off, he threatened her with a knife, strangled and raped her. That's what I'm hearing through the lying anyway. Knew right from hearing him say she could "get dressed and go," that she didn't undress herself willingly, and he likely violated her post mortem. Wish we knew more about his development and childhood. Sounds like he needed help a long, long time ago.
We true crime watchers recognize when the perp is giving b. Sht comments. They always give overly kind descriptions toward their victums. Describing how gentlemanly they treated their prey.
He had been fantasizing about rape and murder, so it's possible that he tried to get her impaired and then just s**ually attacked her, not even giving her a chance to turn him down. Most of these low self-esteem control freaks are still somewhat realists. I think he knew he was gonna be shot down, so he didn't even dare ask.
@@mysteryyyy don’t look at me. Look at Siri. ;) also look at me because I don’t feel it necessary to spend my time typing a comment or really reading it much to make sure it’s correct.

@@patrickday9805don’t blame him. I’m an addict. Dealing with something so catastrophic, like losing my sibling, would cause me to relapse or go on a another bender.
@@Aprilmariko I do blame Maxx. I've grieved over the death of family twice, and never resorted to drugs and alcohol. There should be absolutely no reason for anyone to abuse heavy narcotics, like heroin. Grief counseling exists for a reason (it helped me with the second death of my family), and it's a whole lot cheaper and less destructive than resorting to drugs and alcohol.
@@darkwinter8you forget. One important thing , people grieve on different ways. But like the person underneath your comment said never judge a person till you walk in their shoes. Nobody can tell us how we deal with our loss. Some may celebrate the live , some grab to alcohol or drugs and some seek help. So it’s personal and never predictable.
I must commend her brother for staying calm while listening to this twisted psychopath telling this story how he killed his sister. He was the bigger man than most of us in doing all he could to get justice for his sister.
We lived not far from them and knew them well. My oldest son thought Lea hung the moon. And I need to say having four boys I hoped they would be as amazing as Maxx, just a wonderful young man, Lea was fantastic as well. This mamma did so good raising them, even when mistakes or bad choices were made they were loving good kids.
@@ibispaintfox1055 Its so sick how he tries to convince both men she is still alive somewhere and will be found. Surely they knew deep down she was already gone, and it must've been heart wrenching to let him sit there and jerk them around with false hope. I think their incredible love for Leah made the task near impossible, but also gave them what they needed to complete it. She must've been amazing
@@brendan6747 she was. She graduated from Florence with my oldest and she was always at my house. I use to tell her how much I wanted her as a daughter in law, c'mon Lea just give him a chance, my oldest son was too good of a friend for her to ever picture kissing him. She was amazing and thank you for understanding people mess up, but it doesn't mean we love them less. Maxx showed such restraint, but he was always more mature than his years.
I can only think of my own sister. The fact that brother could hold himself back is unbelievably controlled. But also, my heart shatters for him. The bond between a brother and sister is so insanely deep, strong, and protective. This will haunt him forever.
It’s heartbreaking when you see that Lea wanted to turn her life around and wanted to be sober, and that someone took her life before she could change it… I send my deepest condolences to her friends and family…
The way he confessed to the group of friends, it was so odd like he was getting into theatrics. He was very excited to talk about it, yet trying to play the 'you guys believe me right?' card.
i can't believe he wasn't arrested after the first interrogation, i've never seen someone so obviously guilty before, they caught him lying about literally everything.
I feel so bad for Lea’s brother and family. I can’t imagine how they must of felt/still feeling. I’m also shocked at how chill and humorous his classmates were, calling a murderer and a sick man ‘fantastic.’ Disgusting. I hope Lea’s family are doing okay.
As an addict who has been in the recovery circle for years and years, he was using her addiction as a huge way of controlling her. I cam actually see myself in poor lea when I was young and lost. When you're high, you can have all the motivation in the world. But with those withdrawals wouldve been kicking in, and possibly hoping he would buy her some drugs, she probably did get stressed. And why would she not?!? Completely abused the position and power he was able to have over her.
Her brother said several times in the video he was giving her money. They were communicating about this, so I think this is another one of his little stories, one that is believable sadly.
I’ve listened to so many drug-using guys complain about their guests when they “save” them from the streets 🙄 Well: duh. You’re actually using them for sex and are feeding them drugs. It’s a shit recipe in any situation. My 💜 to all those trying to get their bearings.
Or... she never had an addiction and he lied about absolutely every single detail. She probably went there because she needed a place to go for the night, then he raped and killed her and drugs had nothing whatsoever to do with it.
Maybe they're those types that get attracted towards killers or something. 🤔 So wired because other accounts of him seem like he wasn't really liked well at all...
Some people don’t know how to use empathy accordingly. This man is clearly evil, whoever thinks that every human being, regardless of their actions, is entitled to empathy, is deluded.
I’m so sorry Lea and Maxx. You had the kind of relationship I always wished I had with my siblings and someone evil took that precious gift from you both. It’s absolutely heartbreaking. He deserves to be locked up for life, no exceptions.
This might sting a little, but that extremely close relationship between Maxx and Lea, is probably what got her unalived. By the sound of it, Lea had absolutely no concept of being an individual with her own independent ideas and path. So when she spent some time with somebody other than Maxx, her entire world crumbled, and she fell into all that trouble that was listed in the video. I've seen siblings personally who had such a close relationship, that it was stomach turning. They couldn't do anything without each other. It was disturbing, it was wrong, and it was unhealthy. People should learn to be independent and not crumble under the slightest pressure if they have to face the world alone. You're wishing something on yourself that would've likely ruined your life, and you would've never realized what was the cause. Be thankful you never had an excessively close relationship with your siblings and hopefully you can function as an individual.
Why the hell would Chris go meet up with the ex-boyfriend and brother of the person he was credibly accused of murdering? What did he think was going to happen? Honestly, this was the best-case outcome for him.
This poor young lady was going through so much and all she wanted was a true friend that cared for her and guided her...and this evil monster took advantage of her cry for help..He deserved the death penalty...Rest in peace Lea🙏
Those "people" who supported him afterwards should be locked up with him! That's so insane he should be forgotten and alone the rest of his life just like Lea will be alone but never forgotten! What he did to her and the fact that she's just lost out there with her soul wondering the earth is the worst part it seriously hurts my heart so much!!
Maybe,just maybe,in a bid for final justice,her spirit isn't wandering the earth at all. In my humble opinion, maybe her spirit is allowed to seek out the man who took her life and haunt his life, awake or asleep. Is there even a chance that she is allowed to wander the halls of his mind,creeping through the shadows like an angel of vengeance bent on collecting his debt? We can always hope...
I was a heavy opioid addict with heroine and fentanyl. When I was using for years I was homeless and crashing at peoples houses- even people I didn’t know very well. Now that I’m sober I feel lucky that I didn’t overdose and die but now after watching this I’m glad nobody ever kidnapped me or killed me. I feel so bad for this girl…she seemed so happy to get her life back on track. rip❤
I can totally relate to this! I spent the better part of a decade addicted to morphine and basically any kind of pain pills, then eventually heroin ... Thinking back to some of the people I put myself in contact with it was around, I just thank God that nothing like this happened to me. It's such a sad story, she was so young and so pretty.
Congratulations to you both for getting clean! It takes a immense amount of strength to not only get clean but to get & stay sober is a testament to your strength! Staying sober is probably one of the hardest yet most rewarding things that you’ll ever have to do. Leah will never have the chance to get clean and see how amazing life can be. I commend her brother for the amount of restraint he showed bc I know that if I was in his position I wouldn’t be able to show that same poise or strength. I would have lost my shi on him’
I don't know you but I'm glad you are still with us. We are all brothers and sisters and it makes me happy to hear you came through the other side. I came off buprenorphine 5 months ago and was the hardest thing I have ever done, and you were on stronger drugs. I cannot imagine what a mountain that was to climb. Thanks for sharing your experience, hope you have an awesome day :)
The interview with mum said it all. The look of compleat disappointment in her face while he is rabbiting on and bragging about going to minimum security. And she shuts him down with the reality of impending violence against him from other prisoners
I don't even think he realized the level of disrespect there is in using trash bags and putting her in a dumpster. His voice barely changed while telling Maxx! So sad for her family and friends that she was never recovered.💔
To be in the same room as the person who took the life of your family member who you was close with had to be the hardest thing to experience. I couldn't imagine and hope to never know how that felt
Maxx seems like a great older brother. You can hear how much he loves his sister, and it’s incredible that he was able to sit in the room with the scumbag that he knew killed her for so long and play act to ensure he got to the truth.
@@beekeeper8474 Okay I get that argument… he was probably an enabler but it’s something that happens so very often. She was only 19 and he wasn’t much older. He was going to give her money but in his mind I’m sure it was to make certain she wouldn’t be on the streets and not buying ‘tainted’ drugs. When dealing with a loved one with addiction, there is NEVER a right answer because you can’t control what they are going to do. So your choice is either to enable (which can lead to overdose/death) or to cut them off (which can also lead to tragic results). It wasn’t up to him to save her from her addiction. That doesn’t mean he didn’t love her.
It’s crazy how much someone can tell on themselves while lying, not even 20 minutes in and you can already get a pretty good idea of what actually happened and you can tell it was premeditated
There was no kiss. She got to his apartment, saw it was even worse looking than a trap house, turned around to leave and he killed her. No way in hell she’s staying and sleeping with him on that “bed”. No way she could’ve overpowered him. Plus if she had sex with him willingly, are we to doubt this “Good Guy” wouldn’t have bought heroin for her? The comment earlier about Waides mom not doing anything proactive after finding about this side of her son is conjecture. This could’ve still happened even if he did get counseling.. but damn…. When his Mom got that call she knew that darkness within her own boy finally showed itself to the world… good on her for not backing him and sharing what she did with detectives. Tragic on so many levels..
This is exactly what I was thinking. There is no freaking way she slept with him. And threatening someone with a knife to buy you drugs, even after they overpower you and have a hand around your neck? Suuure.
@@sunnyandthechloExactly. She was a whole 90 pounds. Not to mention the fact that she was probably sick from withdrawal and when someone is going through withdrawals, there is absolutely no physical strength of any kind! He's a liar!

The part where he starts defending her and realizes he needs the full confession and goes "sorry I'm just throwing a tantrum, keep going" the level of restraint and mental fortitude to be able to catch yourself in that moment is intense.

It must be pretty surreal to have something like this happen with someone you knew.

None of you decided to bully that kid? I had one weird dude in my middle school and he got picked on hard and to this day he hasn't done anything to anyone else. That's been 15 years now since I last seen him

What really disgusted me was his two classmates at the end who were defending him on Facebook. Ur “friend” just murdered and potentially raped a girl. IT COULD HAVE BEEN ONE OF YOU INSTEAD if you trusted him enough to go to his house.
Imagine being Lea’s family and seeing someone defend the person who just took away ur precious daughter, sister, cousin, auntie, niece, etc. How horrible.
Thisssss
Literally the comment I've been scrolling to see.
And then telling him to "shut up". I mean God forbid the man accidentally blurts out the truth. These women are evil, and evil people are attracted to each other.
I wouldn't be surprised they had sex with him. They didn't see his behaviour as unbecoming or truly unvelcome(sexual advances). To Lea on the other hand, he was a monster preying on a downed, she didn't want any part of it, and when things didn't go his way he forced it. After the fight that happened he didn't want any part of the fallout so he killed her.
To the ones defending him it's Lea who's too good for her own good, fighting the person they were emotionally conected to she got what she got.
Pulling this out my ass though. My sense of self regarding empathy may be overblown and i'm totally wrong on that.
Ohmigod, that's what I was thinking. Are these two girls missing the single brain cell they might have had?
It's hilarious that Maxx's secret audio recording of Chris Waide is 10x better quality than the police/detective interrogation's audio quality.
It's also hilarious that he only punched him

I kinda feel bad for the lawyer. You know he was wondering why he got this moron as a client!
He’s definitely one of the dumber people I’ve seen on these videos who thinks they’re smart
The arrogance of ignorance.
It kind of seems like the lawyer was like "dude, say some stuff, because there's no way I can completely validate this."
I dunno.
How her brother and ex were able to talk to him about the murder without attacking him is amazing.
Seriously if I was her brother I woulda had to punch him at least 20 times
They should have handled him as a group and without the police
They could have fucked him up and gotten away scott free
@@joshuawayneyorkhe wasn’t worth the jail time
a few broken bones indeed
It is unreal that Chris was willing to tell her brother and ex-boyfriend that he killed her. And it’s even more unbelievable that her brother and ex-boyfriend didn’t beat him to a pulp afterward. Incredible restraint.
Weird. I don't understand it.
I've seen other cases where a father shot his daughters killer and got away completely free and it was justified.
So it's certainly very odd
@@RagnarokPKXDI already know you’re talking about one case in Particular…crime with a passion
i would've went into a blind rage. she has an amazing brother.. it's better he let the law take care of things, or they both could've wound up going to prison for this nutbag.
@@RagnarokPKXD Laws are different everywhere. If they killed him then they would have to do time when he was the one that deserves to be in jail and suffer all that entails with it. They know he wouldn't get away with it so they let the legal system take care of the scumbag. But if he didn't confess, who knows what would have happened. Either way, I definitely can't imagine having the same self restraint. Her brother and friends are incredible people whose lives have forever been changed because of this deranged individual whose mother most definitely should have gotten him therapy when she still had some control over him.
But he did hit him after he confessed and got the wole audio recording.
it's hilarious when chris starts his confession, telling the story about how she threatened him with the knife to buy drugs, Maxx goes "she would not do that you stupid moron stop lying" and then notices he's interrupting the confession and immediately apologizes "sorry of course she attacked you please continue"
His mom said keep going and he immediately broke out of his anger and said sorry keep going . That was strong of him .
I actually laughed at that too. I probably would've done the same. I commend Maxx for sitting through that nonsense in the name of justice for his sister.
Yeah and most of those people are DOCTOR'S
So funny 🙄…
Nothing funny in this story at all.
That whole story felt so weird and inhuman, it was like he was telling them what happened in a novel or a TV show or something. I tried to imagine what I would say to a guy if I accidentally killed his sister in self-defense, and there's no way I don't just immediately start with "she's dead, I'm so sorry man, it was a terrible accident", instead of going on and on about how exactly we were standing with the knife or whatever.
Makes my skin crawl when the killers try to make their victims seem like terrible people in their interrogations.
Typical Redditor niceguy.
Surprised he didn't bring his fedora into the interview
@@TheTacticalHaggis For real like guys who say they're nice guys and treat women well until they reject them and then it's "Fuck you bitch you're ugly anyway" Worship them until you can't use them anymore type mentality
Most people with one/more Cluster-B personality disorders (more so NPD or BPD, rather than ASPD) revert to DARVO (deny, attack, reverse, victim, oppressor). It's ingrained into their psyche.
It's evident that their real persona knows the truth, when they embark on a smear-campaign preemptively. They do DARVO even when the target/victim's life/livelihood isn't in danger ... even when the shenanigans aren't criminal, yet would be consider foul behavior by society.
The most sinister form of the preemptive smear-campaign is done by the "vulnerable/covert narcissist". as they are so convincing in re-writing their entire life to present themselves as the self-sacrificing communal pillar or the perpetual victim. It's so insidious many will be fooled for years, some even decades. Checkout any support group for recovering survivors of narcissistic abuse and you'll see repeatedly stated "Coverts are the worse!"
Those girls backing him and giving him advice is insane. Disgusting that you can face someone after they murdered your classmate. Poor Lea was taken too soon
Right?! I had to skip through that part. It was nauseating
Same type of girls who think dahmer and all the other serial killers are sexy or handsome. Fkn 🤮
That was so shocking! Insane!!! They should go to jail as accomplices
Exactly, they absolutely disgusted me.
Fr like y defend him?! What he did was cruel!
Her brother is the real mvp here. He had such awareness to back off when he started to defend his sister. To put himself in that situation and stil have the mental fortitude to stay the plan after he confessed he knew she was dead and get the whole confession. There's allt of people who wouldn't have let it get that far. He did his sister a solid
I dont know how Matt and his mother could listen to that without attacking him.
I would have killed him with my bare hands when he said she went limp.
I always thought the same thing until it happened to me, my sister was killed by a drunk driver and as much as the desire may be to do something you have to realize what that would mean for your parents - you don't want them to lose both children y'know? But in my case the death was accidental and the drunk driver expressed guilt over it... idk what I would really do in her brother's situation
I take my hat off to Max, I can't believe he put himself through that and did such an amazing job - better than some detectives 😂
That guy's a real one indeed he's the man, i think he may have massacred that punk on the spot if there wasn't people in the room to stand between them.
there are no mvps, unless the mvp is a meat grinder and he is put in toes first
I can't imagine how hard it must be to look your sibling's murderer in the face, hear them pulling a bs story about how the victim attacked first, and have to just sit there and act like you're accepting it just on the hope that you can record a confession.
Especially when u know your siblings wouldn't do that
They did a really good job. The ex starts the Convo about the murder which is probably too much for the brother (I feel like he almost lashed out then remembered they're there for a confession). The brother also stopped the friend from asking "why he didn't call the cops" which isn't really an important question but could potentially shut Chris from talking. He calming stop her and ask Chris about what happened next to continue the confession.
I wouldn't be able to think when the killer of my siblings is talking how they killed them or tarnish their personality to suit the killer's story.
He's lucky all he got was a punch. If it was my sister, he wouldn't be walking away after that.
Thats from what i hear happened to marvin gaye. Google says he intervened with his parents which as far as im concerned is up in the air he cant defend himself and a good lawyer would mitigate the charge
The brother is a 😼y nothing less. period point blank there's nothing anyone can say.
The amount of restraint the brother has to keep his fury at bay for the right moment is incredible.
I just can only imagine the out of body experience Maxx was having during his confession 😔
hahhahahahahahaahhahahahahhahahahhahahahahaahahh
I'm glad this guy was caught. I found it funny though about how his mom straight up put him in the most negative light possible when describing him to the detectives. She could have said anyyyything. But she went straight to "yeah he was discharged from the military because he hallucinates. Oh, and he had a crazy porn addiction in highschool and tried to kidnap a girl once". Like damn even his mom thought he was a huge creep lmao.
Yeah, i think she knew deep down that he had something to do with it
Such a pity he wasn't as honest as his mother
it's a credit to her that she didn't try to cover for him
It could be tho that his problems with females started with his mother.
imagine what she didnt say
The brother shows incredible self control by not pummelling that guy to death then and there when he confesses to killing his sister, together with the supposed slander about her behaviour and the excuses - I can't imagine how hard that must have been to listen to.
Really love your channel, it is so insightful and interesting, despite the dark subject matter.
If this were my sister, I would be the one in jail for what I would have done to Chris. I definitely would not have had the same control.
That guy has incredible integrity as a human being. Respect.
the brother didn't do anything violent because he was also guilty about the wrong path her sister took (relationship with a 40yo as a teenager, end up as a heroin addict,....). it was guilt for not having done anything as an older brother
i wonder if he still has that same control in 48 years from then.
@@GurkoKurdo Yeah she was a teenager, but she was 19, an adult by two years. The brother went off to start a life and a career, it wasn't his job to tell her who she could date and I doubt he could have prevented anything had he been there. What was he going to do, beat up the 40 year old dude?
Chris sounds like a textbook example of a 'Nice Guy'. He presents himself as better than all these other guys, and does things for vulnerable girls with the expectation that they then owe him sex etc, and if they don't worship the ground he walks on after he does something for them, it enrages him and he shows his true colors.
alarm bells going crazy as soon as he said he was 'as courteous with her as possible' sheesh
Makes me think of those creeps who are members of the group of involuntary celibate men. They claim women owe them sexual access basically because they are male. Thus superior to women!!
Yeah textbook fucked in the head. Can't comprehend anything.
Another creep oh boy we need help on earth creeps every where
Never had proper relationships with women just intimate with a an x box and hours of videos that a large deal of modern population the last ten 15 years back oh well
Listening to this killer is unnerving. You can hear his anti social comments, and you can hear his detachment from emotion. I am glad that you showed so many pictures of the victim. She should be the focus
I can see right through this sick fuck from the second they started questioning him.
What's wrong with antisocialism and detachment from emotions? I know you never said something's wrong with it, just asking out of curiosity.
@@hyeonwoo72 Asking for a friend right? 😂😂😂
@@hyeonwoo72 I'd imagine it's disturbing with the added context of his actions. The combo of antisocialism and being detached from emotions can cause someone to be more likely to commit abuse or crimes like these. Obviously not everyone with these traits will be like that, but a high amount are.
@@whatisthis1958 Emotions are more prone to drive someone to commit crimes than being detached from emotions, prison is filled with more neurotypicals (who are actually guilty) than neurodivergent people. Sure, being detached from emotions and being antisocial (it's actually asocial, because antisocial is a personality disorder while asocial is more like isolation by choice, probably.) can drive people to commit crimes and do immoral acts or engage in socially unacceptable behaviour, but I just don't think that there's anything wrong with being detached from emotions and asocial because many individuals do not commit crimes or hurt people in horrible ways.
I normally try to give the benefit of the doubt to parents of killers when they’ve done all they can do… this is NOT one of those cases. Your son tells you about violent fantasies he’s having and even told you he planned on kidnapping and killing someone earlier that night… and you do absolutely nothing. Family love is damning to say the least
Killer Outsmarts Detectives, Victim's Brother Gets Revenge
Lol right if I told my mom that she would call the cops. I've been depressed before because of drug addiction man it's lonely. If u aren't mentally strong it'll ruin you.
yeah that part absolutely baffled me.
It must be hard to be confronted by something like that from your own son and you'd want to support him. But the best way would be to ensure he doesn't get to act on it. I'm sure the father with his porn had an impact on his development and attitude towards women.
Look at the Gabbie Petito case - after the son murdered Gabbie the parents obstructed justice in every way possible, even writing at the top of the letter from the mother to Brian to ‘destroy after reading’. The numerous cases involving incels murdering innocent people because the guy can’t find a girlfriend or talk to girls - upon investigation we find that the parents ignored many warnings from the school and counselors that their child had dangerous ideas and delusional thinking. They knew the kid /young man had weapons, knew he had emotional problems and actively covered them up to what end? Embarrassment that they have a child with mental health problems? Afraid they’d be blamed for said issues? Like you said, family love and decisions are damning to say the least!
I really admire the way Maxx handled himself during the confession, if my sibling's murderer tried to sell me an obviously fake version of events, trying to make themselves look like the victim, I wouldn't have been able to keep my composure nearly as long as he did
I must be a rare breed. I can keep my cool even longer. I would have had him talk about another 5 min. I want IRREFUTABLE evidence. I want the confession, what you did afterwards & a few more nails for the coffin. But I don’t know no one else like me. That’s why when I do play detective like this for people, I have to LIE to them, to exclude them from the interrogation because they last all of 2 seconds and WASTE WEEKS of hard stalking I’ve done and/or can’t stfu & let the person talk.
And people act like being a therapist, investigator, detective or even cop is so simple. I hope people realize investigating requires patience and the intellect to understand verbal cues.
@@childishgambino4845I don’t have the patience you do but I agree , I can’t imagine how hard a detective job is. They literally have to be patient, sympathize with the suspect, be nice and agree with them etc I wish I could be like that but I get so aggravated I’d done blew my cover in no time. But I understand why they do what they do. It’s to get the full story and to find out exactly every detail of everything that happened. I respect that.
@@childishgambino4845 you're saying this because you're not in that position yet. So it's easy for you to flex this lmao
@@childishgambino4845Unless you have actually had to sit across and get a confession from a person who murdered your lil sister, how tf would you know?
@childishgambino4845 yes. To interrogate, you have to have calm. You must be stoic. I don't know how old you are and/or how much training/challenges you had to make you so calm, but, kudos. I'm only 37, working on my patience every day. Just yesterday someone tested my patience. I didn't get angry or raise my voice, like I normally would have done. For me, it's a conscience effort, everyday, to not be infuriated by the lack or empathy and the DISRESPECT I see around me, daily. But I'm working on controlling my anger, because people won't take me serious if I'm angry/yelling.
Amazing brother. Even going and confronting him.. i cant imagine how he was feeling in that moment knowing he was face to face with his sisters murderer. They were so close. What a beautiful sibling relationship. I hope he will somehow be able to find peace.
When A Killer Criminology Student Outsmarts Detectives
I have no idea how Chris walked out of there with just a punch to the face.
@@TheZigzach Ikr, I can't imagine what I would have done to him. Kudo's to the brother for keeping himself in check, it takes great control to not kill him.
I don't think I would be able to control myself, but at the same time I can't say for sure because the sheer shock of something so terribly heartbreaking might just cause complete shut down as well. One of those, never know till you're in that situation type of things, but God knows you hope you never have to find out. My heart goes out to him.
The strength it had to take to hold off punching him until he had what he needed
Only 48 years!? That is horrible. I can’t believe they even cut him a deal when they had a confession.
I'm surprised he's still allowed to breathe TBH
Another round of applause for the "Justice" system
I get what you’re saying, I really do. But, the reason they give deals in situations like this, is that a confession and pleading guilty, takes away the need for a trial, and therefore the family of the victim doesn’t have to go through a trial, or any shit talk from a defence lawyer. It also, in many cases, gives the family of the victim the full story, and, hopefully, leads to the body.
On the flip side, a guilty verdict at the end of a trial, usually ends with a much longer sentence, because the perpetrator has fought against everything and generally a defence lawyer will shit talk the victim, will help from their client, and come out with all sorts of things to victim-blame and pass-the-buck.
So a deal is swifter and easier than a trial, and takes away the chance of a mistrial or a not guilty verdict.
Hope that makes sense xxx
prison is not kind to men who murder women or children. he may not live to see half of that.
The fact that he confessed is why he didn’t get as long. That’s kinda how that works
I’m surprised he had classmates that still stood behind him while he’s in prison. I can’t imagine defending a murderer
Embarrassing
murderer and pedophile smh
Disgusting.
It’s kinda like women who marry serial killers who are in prison.
Of course it’s two cronch gobbling women….
I'm rarely so taken aback by the bravery people can summon to get justice in cases like this. Maxx is the kind of sibling anyone would be lucky to have. That group of friends was very clever: their recording is crystal clear, their approach was tactful, and the level of pressure they apply is balanced. You can feel the tension in that meeting. I'm beyond impressed.
Wishing all friends and family peace and healing, though I know the full depth of those feelings are near impossible here. Rest easy, Lea.
It must have taken everything in him to not off this POS Chris
The self control that they had was superhuman, particularly Maxx, to not lunge at him and strangle him to death when he not only described how he murdered Lea but was clearly trying to paint her as the aggressor. I don't know if I could have had so much self restraint if I was in their shoes.
How embarrassing for those classmates of his after he was found to be one of the most depraved people to ever enter their lives. Before the trial, I guess when they found out Lea was an addict, they assumed the worst, judged her too harshly, and believed that she started the attack. My heart goes out to Lea and her family, she just wanted to fix her life and this monster took advantage of that.
Yeah people completely dehumanize and judge addicts immediately
I mean it's a common thing for murderers to be viewed as innocent just because the victim was or even had been an addict at some point, no matter the evidence and even coroner's report saying not overdose etc
I also being an addict know that addicts will do things you would never think of. Its 100% true... robbing grandmothers dying of cancer to murder for hire. So yes it is unfortunate we dehumanize and judge but this girl needed help more than just finding her a place to stay and no one thought to get her this. If her family is this mad at someone else they should also feel the guilt of what they could of done when she did get clean and went back to the drug. She was seeking help and I have a feeling family judge more harshly and this I know first hand. The thing was I was never even on hard drugs or drink like she was.
On the contrary. It's wonderful that people still to this day can refuse to judge someone for mere accusations.
Those girls just did it for attention for themselves. Lowlives.
I applaud this monster’s mother for being honest about her son’s issues. That had to be difficult for her.
But WTF is up with these high school friends simping and drooling over him. There are some SICK and deranged women out there.
There are some sick and deranged humans out there. Pretend for a moment that you're creating the most perfect human who is the most caring, righteous, loving, honest, good, trustworthy, and dependable person possible who is nothing but integrity and purity personified in human form. Having done that, I'm telling you right now that there are people out there who are the exact polar opposite of that person and they think THEY are the good one. I'll also tell you that there's a stunningly high number of people who will disagree with your perfect person's thoughts, actions, beliefs, etc.
"Giving up your seat to an old person or a pregnant woman or a child on a full bus/train is always the right thing to do."
"I will never give up my seat. The old folks don't work. The pregnant woman made that decision to get and stay pregnant so that's not my problem. The kid is young and lightweight and they can handle standing. I on the other hand, have worked a full 8 hour shift at the grocery store and my feet hurt. My legs are tired from walking around, and I have to walk home later. I'M THE ONE who deserves to sit. I'm paying taxes that go to the old guy's retirement, the kid's schooling, and I'm probably paying for the pregnant woman's healthcare and the baby's WIC benefits when it eventually pops out in a couple months. I ain't getting out of this seat."
It's remarkable how people are able to live this way in the same time and place. 🤷🏻♂️
Sorry, but if my son told me he had tried to kidnap and murder a woman in a trailer, I would have gone straight to the police. His mother kept this information to herself.
Calling women sick and deranged fits his profile.
@@lesjf8832 they were obviously getting off on him...
Oh I have a feeling after the trial these local high school friends of his were ostracized by the community for supporting a sadist , child predator & killer . When they get married & have children of their own they will have to live with the embarrassment that their faces & comments are on the internet forever.
Chris' "groupies" are disgusting.....they paid him no mind, UNTIL, he murdered an innocent girl. And, if Max hadn't stepped in, who knows how many more victims, this psycho might've stacked up.
God Bless, Max and his family.
He probably manipulated the girls into thinking he was innocent
Right what disgusting cows those two are
He has groupies???? WTH
Someone should send this video to them so they can see how gross they are for defending him 🤢🤮
Right? Amazing how girls did not pay attention to him until they realized he was akiller. That always worried about why girls are attracted to men like that. Also, I'm sure this guy has some form of autism.
His mom casually mentioning the red flags that she had seen for years, like the fact that he actually attempted something years earlier and that she was well aware what his intentions were at that time. That's something that will stay with me. I've dated a few narcissists with mothers like this. It's astonishing the level of denial they have to evade responsibility for creating a monster like this. Or even acknowledge that their baby might someday really hurt someone. Not hard to see where the monsters got the mental gymnastics from after all.
My grandmother would defend my uncle's lies and accusations in spite of a sickening letter he wrote threatening her and scolded me for providing his parole officer with a copy of the threatening letter.
I'm curious what a mother can actually do about this. If they are an adult and some people are born this way. Not created. I mean what is she supposed to do ? Kill him and go to prison for her life? Not knowing if the child will actually do something bad.
@oicuff1635 The matter of the fact is, if she noticed something these obvious crimson flags. She should have done something about it. Obviously not kill him- Get him help. Get him therapy. People having morbid thoughts like these, especially with proven intent and/or desire to act of them should not be ignored. She as his guardian while he was in high school should have gotten checked out and treated so he wouldn't be a harm to society. Regardless if he was born or became this way. Actually in the scenario that he was created this way, it shows more about his home life as a child and or his mother raising him.
Parents aren't always the reason their kids turn out bad. But if you ignore or condone after the obvious signs are there, then you're delusional.
@@oicuff1635 I won't copy what pastelaura8179 said but if you or I were a mother and your son confessed as a child/young teenager to you about his desire to act on hurting people, would you simply sweep it under the rug and carry on as normal or would you seek immediate help for your son before something tragic happens? A choice like this for a parent isn't a simple one not in the slightest and for 2 reasons, 1) the embarrassment you as a parent would feel for seeking the help and just knowing there is something very wrong with your child, worrying about this information being spread without you knowing about it and 2) some parents would think that there is nothing wrong with their kid and allow them to continue with these morbid curiosities/thoughts completely unaware that more often than not their kid will eventually act out on those morbid curiosities/thoughts in the future, therefore basically living in denial about it all or not taking it as serious as they should of done but then it's too late to go back.
No.2 sounds like a reach but that is a factual statement or comment. History always repeats itself and we learn about it, not from it.
Those girls who defended and supported him after what he did are absolutely vile and disgusting, they should feel ashamed of themselves. I hope after they educated themselves more on this case they realized how wrong that was.
Fr like wtf was that
They're both horrible people for defending him, and they're f***** in the head...
They're probably just stupid.
Well, if they were defending him, they clearly weren't educated at all. Even a grade primary student would know better.
So strange. A guy I knew growing up ended up killing a girl. I hadn't lived there in over a decade, but was not surprised to find out he was in prison for that. I was surprised to find some other people (all female) we all grew up with talking about he must be innocent. I get the feeling they just cannot allow themselves to believe this guy (who was very popular) would do this. I, being a dude, and knowing his psycho ways when we were teens, was not shocked at all that he ended up working his way to violence against a woman. Some people just do not want to look at the world as it is.
"I could sure use a hug rn" bro I knew you were the "wheres my hug" creep
LOL the living embodiment of the "nice guy" meme.
A girl threatened me with a knife once in her apartment. I managed to get the knife off of her & restrained her. Never once crossed my mind to use it on her. That's why I always think these men are lying when they act like they didn't have a choice.
So sorry you had to endure that abuse
I completely agree I had moments l Iike that with my ex wife. Once the weapon is removed from the situation there absolutely no reason to use it on them unless your life is actually in grave danger. If the other person had no weapon anymore the threat is gone. Even if they are throwing punches its still no reason to use the weapon.
What a hero you are!
Did you file charges for attempted murder? No? Why not?
It's better to disarm and arm yourself so the person now has threat of harm to them and they will think twice before trying to attack again
Lea's brother has more self control than I could ever dream of having. I had to take a walk after hearing Chris' secret confession cuz of how angry it made me, and her brother was able to let him keep talking and lie about how he was justified in strangling his sister- imo the worst, most disrespectful way to kill someone. The world is missing a wonderful, bright woman because of that monster. Rest easy, Lea xx
Yeah I feel this. I've met this dude's 'type' before, and I promise it would have been more than a single punch after he said all that shit.
Of course hed rather have the guy spit out a confession than cut him off and allow him to rethink what hes saying.
Something that always makes me really frustrated about these interrogations is when they start to disparage the victim’s character, as if to blame their own actions on the victim. Like they think the police will believe they deserved it in some way.
Him trying to make her seem violent or a lowly addict when she was just someone who was lonely and needed help was just so disgusting.
Not that she deserved what happened by any means........but I don't typically describe junkies as wonderful and bright.
I agree, but maybe you need to seek therapy if something like that made u so angry that u have nothing to do with.
This case is one of the saddest I've heard of. Lea was trying so hard to get her life back together but she was struggling and she really needed a friend and someone took advantage of her instead. It's just incredibly sad, her relationship with her brother was so beautiful and I can't believe he has to live the rest of his life without his sister, he loved her so so much. I hope Lea is at peace now and that the people that love her get to be with her again someday 🙏

It absolutely sucks to see young people with a potentially bright future ahead of themselves being introduced into drugs by someone older who’s life is already struggling and on a downward spiral.
I agree, it’s sad asf.
I was introduced to drugs by myself cause my parents were pretty clueless on pills. They just knew opiates=bad. Sooo, they had saved all of them over years in an open space in the kitchen before they found out I was addicted to them. I had gone thru somethin traumatic & then my mom got cancer, so I was taking anything to cope. I had some older ppl reach out to me when I was 17, 18 and wanting more. I found out later that one of the older ladies was involved in pimping girls out. She admitted A LOT to me over the phone whilst she was very messed up. She basically told me that I was lucky I had an overdose and got sober before I got close to her cause she had some “plans” for me cause she wasn’t a “good person” back then. Crazy.
It made sense to me then why she had been messaging me right before I OD’d bout getting a Brazilian wax from her cousin and was promising me things. It was so random….but I was naive as hell.

Notice how he never fumbled once over his words when he tells them how he gets rid of the body, but when he tells the self defense story he's CONSTANTLY fumbling. "Uhm, but, well, honestly." But then can tell the story of disposing her without flinching. Props to Max for keeping his composure until the end and I'm glad he got to punch this creep in the face 🎉
Difference between planning something for a long time, and having to come up with something on the spot...jeez. I don't know how the brother kept himself together for the confession to come out, or why there are girls defending him after the news reported what happened
Right he obviously wasn't paying a lot of attention in his criminal justice classes. Especially when going over the Read technique.
"She was overpowering me" 10 minutes later* "so i carried her out in a duffel bag"
I do not believe for a second that Lea willingly had sex with this guy. As soon as he said they had sex my thought was, "He raped her or had sex with her after she died and is making this story up to cover the fact that if they find her body, his DNA will be in her." As odd as Chris' family is, I'm glad his mother came forward with the horrific information about her son. I'm sure that wasn't easy for her to do. I also am super proud of the brother for being able to compose himself enough to get a confession. Love the bandage on his hand in the interrogation video from where he punched him. Haha. Those girls at the end... Oof. I really hope now that they have seen the WHOLE side of Chris they have wised up and stopped supporting him because that was honestly so disgusting and cringe. It's clear that no story Chris gave was the truth so we may never truly know what happened to her. It's just a shame they cut a deal with him so he wont have to serve as long of time.
i didnt understand those girls at the end. theres a percentage of women that fall in love with killers for some reason. those 2 wouldve loved ted bundy as well. i'll never understand it.
"Those girls at the end... Oof. " ---- trash morons, on TV for a minute, loving it.
@@doodlebob2023 Oh, yeah. Richard Ramirez also got married in prison. There are a LOT of killers fans and people who crush on them. It's really sick and is actually pretty scary to know these killer worshipers probably walk beside us pretty often in life because they clearly aren't right in some capacity.
I'm enough of a creep to know that despite the 38 year old guy and the heroin use she's way too cute to willingly allow this creep to touch her. The girls at the end would have been working with police or even her family as an alternative way to try and extract more information or manipulate him in to the worst possible position. Their behaviour and words were all non-genuine and just looked like bad acting.
I know. This guy should be in for life because after 50 years he will be 70 yo this is still very young and dangerous.
Who whips out tarot cards during an interrogation?? I still get shocked even after so much true crime
Who kills somebody?
EDIT: You are all unforgivable murderers 😂
Just look at his pillow in his bedroom lol hd probably felt like she liked him and he tried having sex with her since he wad helping her out and he got mad. I know alot of men do this and expect to be more than friends and the girl wants nothing romantic with them
@@BuckUp33unfortunately lots of people each and every year. Majority in accidents or malpractice.
@neilj8224😂
The interrogators know it’s part of his schtick.
Lea meant alot to me, When we were in court the governer took all of us in a room and told us they offered him a plea bargain. Said they couldn’t prove that the sex wasn’t consensual and told Chris Waide that if he told us where he put Lea, that he would get second degree murder, Instead of first. He agreed and then referred to his original story. The epitome of a failure within our justice system. She has never been found but will forever be in mine, and so many other people hearts forever. We all love and miss you Lea and will never stop searching. Truly heartbreaking.
Such a sad tragedy, a beautiful young woman with her whole life ahead of her.
I don't understand that. I would think that if Lea is found, then plea deal is fine, if Lea is not found, then 1. degree murder.
It's like a contract: both sides have to fulfill their duties.
@@user-gm8ll5hs4xright, that's how I thought it worked as well, also OP did you know Lwa and or Chris then? The way your Comment is worded leads me to believe you was
@@morri5923quite obviously yes
I can’t even imagine how horrible this is for you x. I’m so sorry xx
Why make a deal with a monster with that much blatant evidence against him? They didn't even get the body. He should have earned his deal by combing through the junkyard with his toothbrush until he found her. Absolutely sickening. Kudos to her brother and friends for somehow holding it together during that recording.
The most insane part of this whole story is the ungodly strength Maxx and Jesse had to not jump over that table and beat Chris to death, because I would've. I know for a fact I don't possess an ounce of the strength they both have. I can't even imagine the pain and horror they felt listening to the guy confess to brutally murdering their loved one.
Exactly. It’s insane the composure they had 😅
Yea 100%. I was thinking the same listening to that.
Desensitized unfortunately
Jesus I couldnt do it if it was my brother. Especially my baby brother. It's like I was his protector growing up.
💯
I am very sad that she's never been found. After everything, he couldn't even tell them where he hid her. How awful.
He mentioned a dumpster. Its the only thing he said that I believe. POS was too lazy to do any more than bag her up in trash bags and heave her into the apartment complex's dumpster.
A rumor has gone around that he told someone in jail that he put her “here, there, and about.” But that is JUST A RUMOR! However, they brought cadaver dogs in to the dump site, and all they found was a pillowcase with her wallet and stuff in it, so the evidence leans toward that being at least partially true. However, their family is still accepting tips as to where the body may be. I was a friend of hers and if I lived anywhere NEAR Colorado, I’d be looking out and hunting for her too.
@@lilMALICEundead I truly hope someday he can tell the truth
@@Booze_Rooster I really just wish he’d give up and say where!
@@lilMALICEundead he wont tell anyone until it's to late to get DNA from her, i think he did a lot more unfortunately, there is some very sick people in this word that will do stuff too an alrdy dead person, and i have studied a lot on human psychology ect ect. i pick up a lot from these recordings, it's truly disturbing.....my daughter is 6, this is something that scares me everyday.
I cant believe he told his mom he was going to kidnap a girl. And she just let that be. At least she was forthright with police early on since she already had her doubts.
are blind....did you see her reaction while talking in jail?
@@ir9567 haven't finished yet. I usually cant finish these videos in one sitting.
Don't blame the mom. Chris did it all himself his mom was niave but not her fault and he better not be getting VA benefits when he barely served after a murder I hope his benefits got taken away
@@erickiyoshiphillips2323 Wrong. The mom is very much to blame. It is so obvious that she does not care about any of his depravity. She uses it as a weapon against him and projects all her insanity onto him. She 100% played the shame game on him over his disgusting fantasies. She is an absolute whackjob.
Shows you how he was raised and how it contributed to what he became.
Ive practiced Cartomancy since I was young, and the idea of doing a "Tarot Reading" while already knowing you've murdered this young woman and pretending that she'll "come back a changed woman" and giving false hope makes me physically feel sick.
Plus his readings and interpretations were entry level for tarot cards. I haven't read in over a decade and still remember how shocked I was at what the Devil card represented. The Tower is far more suggestive of an overtly negative outcome than the Devil, which is an astute warning, after a sort. That's just my very old recollection and I haven't touched a deck in nearly 15 years but that always stuck with me. I found tarot cards intimidatingly complex but appealing.
He’s INSANE.
I also practice and just commented about that. It’s atrocious for that flea to even hold a card in his evil hands. Aside from his less than entry level “readings” it disgusts me that he’s holding such a profound tool after stealing someone else’s life, and gives the wrong impression about cartomancy/divination to boot. Of course what he did to an innocent young lady is most despicable and he’s truly a pathetic, evil individual but it’s just an unfortunate addon that he whips out tarot cards.
@@MsNikkieMichelle It makes me hope that rule of 3 got him and that helped lead him to the physical retribution the woman's brother gave him.
@@latetotheparty7551in truth they are far more representative of change, as it is the metaphorical death of a situation which might be uncomfortable. He also does not understand inversion or that the cards change in relation to one another and their positions.
Maxx is a very impressive young man. I can only imagine how difficult it was to see his sister go down such a dark path and then to sit there face to face during her murderer's confession and maintain his composure. He's very perceptive and intelligent. Would make a good investigator himself.
You know, nothing was actually presented to show she actually was on a dark path. No proof she was on drugs, none of it. Only what was told by her killer. And all Max did was whatever he thought would get the guy to confess. I'm willing to bet if the cops didn't do anything and he stayed on the streets, Max would have killed him.
Absolutely! If he kept it together in this situation, then he definitely could be a very good investigator!!!
As a brother myself, I can only give respect where respect is due. He likely felt guilty for not having done more during his sister's descent into drugs and depression, and this was the best way he saw that could make up for it. I can't imagine the pain he's been through as a result of all this. I'm not sure I would have had the same composure during that secret recording, as he displayed so himself.
I don't know tons of self-control doesn't seem likely. It wasn't only him but an ex-boyfriend as well. They both had self-control not to f*** this dude up. I don't buy it. Sending him to prison is a coward's way out. I get it be the bigger man and all that b*******. This dude raped and murdered your sister and you don't slap and lose it and beat the f*** out of him? I'm sure I'm about to get slaughtered by comments here but that's some p**** ass s***
@@jessetrapp8949 I'm not going to give you shit for your opinion, but I will say that I doubt his mother would want to lose two children because of that asshole. Justice doesn't always mean retribution, and I certainly wouldn't want to get thrown in jail for life for trying to get some.
The most bizarre detail of this case for me is that he threw her body in his own dumpster near the crime scene and shes NEVER BEEN FOUND...
He probably threw the body somewhere else i mean he lies about EVERYTHING
The most bizarre detail. Of this case for me that he threw her body in his dumpster own near the crime scene and shes. Never been found
Depending on when the dumpster was emptied. The body could have ended up at a landfill before anyone got a chance to look in it.
@@adventuregames424 i understand, but this detail is quite interesting for me, given time and effort other murderers put into hiding bodies really far away from the crime scene (dismemberment, bleaching, throwing deep in the woods/river/etc and more), but the bodies are discovered later. Some are found right away, some are found when they are decomposing or bones. But he just casually threw her like a garbage near his own goddamn home, and she vanished the next day forever...
@@g.sokolov6437if he failed to see that, he's several layers behind and it's not worth explaining to a simple mind
It's very interesting to see an interrogation with a lawyer in the room. I love how the lawyer recommends him not to answer specific questions, yet he answers them anyway. What's the point of asking to have legal advice if you're not going to listen to it? He's probably too narcissistic to realise he should obey his lawyer's advice, he thinks he knows better.
The lawyer seems very resigned too. I'd expect him to be more vehemently telling his client not to answer the question. It makes me think the lawyer probably told him not to speak to the police already and dude was doing this all against his attorney's counsel.
Very good, his stupid move will help digging his grave faster.
I hope he’s having a terrible time wherever “it” is.
@@gen1exe let's be real for a second... even if it was MY job and duty to give *this asshole* good advice, I wouldn't be making a big effort either. Some of these people are exhausting to work with. Grandiose beyond the point of total cringe, completely unable to take any responsibility or to admit to any real wrongdoing, victimising themselves. There's a reason it's called "anti-social", because it's more than difficult for normal people to just accept that these people exist and that these things happen.
Look up Sarah Boone. If you're unfamiliar with the case, I'll just say: she's due to be on trial for murder, and she's on her 6th (or 7th by now) lawyer. If she keeps going she might just end up getting murdered by one of them so they're rid of her lmao
@@gen1exe Probably a public defender. He will get paid whether they win or not.
@@Caedus696any defense lawyer gets paid whether they win or not. They’re paid for their time, not if they win the case or not.
Bro was smart enough to get an attorney but dumb enough to ignore them 💀💀💀
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing...
The fangirls who video called him were absolutely disgusting but I can’t help but laugh when they yelled at him, “Do we need to teach you the 5th amendment? You have the right to shut the fuck up!” He straight up ignored his lawyer each time he tried to do his job and still thought the police would think he’s a “nice guy” by the end of it.
Seriously though. He’s filth and so are his skanks.
if he was arrogant enough to assume he could outsmart the cops, then he probably thought, he could talk his way out of anything, in which case he has no need for the 5th... thankfully, his overinflated opinion of himself, was his downfall, i only wish he got life.
Yes, what is wrong with these girls? The one girl said I think about you a lot, probably more than I should. I wonder if these b****** were close with him before the murder? Or did they just love to love the cowardly Underdog? I'm not sure if they view him as an underdog because people are persecuting him?
These are the type of girls that Strike Up penpal situations and Mary convicted murderers. Just goofy, but like you said, skanks. That is the best word to describe those two.
@@zafar0132 Maybe part of it was he was honestly afraid of the brother especially after getting punched by him.
😅
It baffles me when people support or egg on killers like this garbage, who only targets those vulnerable or weaker than them.
It’s extremely baffling and sickening to watch those people in the video calls stick up for him and show moral support to someone who wouldn’t do the complete opposite for them.
He literally admitted to taking advantage of her and throwing her lifeless corpse into a dumpster. 🤦♂️
Sickening ☹️ I was so madddd
When he says "Do you realise my case is all over the news", it comes across as a humble brag.
Yeah, I was quite baffled to see that I’m sitting here like what the fuck is actually going on the things that people will condone never cease to piss me off…
The narrator made it sound like the details of the case weren't public yet. So likely all they knew is that he had been charged.
Those girls are pathetic, and make me embarrassed I share a chromosome with them…😳🤬
Wow, the brother really has a an impressive amount of self control. I would do terrible things to the person that had violently killed my sister
Yeah I couldn't have done that that dude would have been toast
He didn't show an impressive amount of self-control. That would have been him getting away from that fucker without yelling and throwing punches.
Same
he should've done the fucking deed.
Too bad he didn’t do anything to keep her off the streets
Let's clear this poor girls memory. She would NEVER SLEEP WITH THIS CREEP. I don't have to even know her to be clear on that.
The patience and restraint Maxx showed toward the murderer of his own sister is frankly astounding. I'm really close with my sister and I'm pretty confident that if I were in the same situation, I doubt I'd have the forethought and self control necessary not to beat the ever loving shit out of the perpetrator. The fact he was not only able to pretend to be his friend, but actually get a confession (even if it wasn't the total truth) out of him is testament to Maxxs' character. Incredibly impressive.
Yup. Have to respect the guy because it wouldn't be one punch. His head would have been mashed pototaoes.
Can we just appreciate how much this brother knew his sister and her habits and personality enough to be able to immediately call bullshit on his lies and hit that mf
1:01:05 riiight that's where I just got to... I am so jealous that they had this type of relationship but also it sucks that she got taken so early 😭😭😭
The self-control that Maxx had not to tear that guy apart on the spot is astounding, I honestly wish that he had.
I noticed a small detail about this that brought me at least some joy was seeing the cast on Maxx's hand. It's pretty clear that he delivered one hell of a punch into Chris's disgusting face. GOOD, wear that shit like a badge of honor, Maxx. You were able to do what any good brother in the same situation probably wishes they could do, and I just know that Lea was cheering you on from beyond for bringing her justice. A part of me even hopes it left some type of scar, just because it would be a permanent reminder of your heroism.
Fun Fact: Chris's lawyer is playing 'hangman' on his sketchpad. Each time Chris says something incriminating, lawyer draws another element of the hangman picture.
Wow! How do you know?
He must have had about ten hung men at least
Lmao
Lmao
lol 😂
It's sad that they never recovered the body so she could have a proper burial. The fact that he could plea bargain is ridiculous - did they think a sane jury would find him not guilty? He should get the death penalty
I heard this story in other videos and podcasts and As fucked up as it sounds , I think he dismembered and ate her . Usually killers will eventually just end up telling them where the body is but the way he’s denying it and sounds scared as if he’s embarrassed to admit he probably did what I said . Especially since his search history was filled about cannibalism after Lea went missing .
hearing that secret recording was one of the most painful parts of this story. i cant imagine what Lea went through. Maxx knew he was sitting right next to her killer. Maxx probably wanted to beat Chris within an inch of his life when he yelled at him for lying. neither of those siblings deserved to suffer.

So, he tried to sleep with her, she fought him off, he threatened her with a knife, strangled and raped her. That's what I'm hearing through the lying anyway. Knew right from hearing him say she could "get dressed and go," that she didn't undress herself willingly, and he likely violated her post mortem. Wish we knew more about his development and childhood. Sounds like he needed help a long, long time ago.
The gentleman act he was putting on was just gross.
And then the two women still talk to him....that's crazy

@@angelamccrackin5243I don't know what it who you are referring to but that has not been my experience in watching true crime
He had been fantasizing about rape and murder, so it's possible that he tried to get her impaired and then just s**ually attacked her, not even giving her a chance to turn him down. Most of these low self-esteem control freaks are still somewhat realists. I think he knew he was gonna be shot down, so he didn't even dare ask.

We lived not far from them and knew them well. My oldest son thought Lea hung the moon.

@@kristopher5620probably meant 'can be' lmao
It’s heartbreaking when you see that Lea wanted to turn her life around and wanted to be sober, and that someone took her life before she could change it… I send my deepest condolences to her friends and family…
The way he confessed to the group of friends, it was so odd like he was getting into theatrics. He was very excited to talk about it, yet trying to play the 'you guys believe me right?' card.
i can't believe he wasn't arrested after the first interrogation, i've never seen someone so obviously guilty before, they caught him lying about literally everything.
He should have been arrested for the dirty pillow
He's like every redditor
Doesn’t matter what you know. It matters what you can prove.
You can’t arrest someone off a gut feeling, they had to get enough on him to request an arrest warrant for him. Gotta make sure it sticks in court
You need physical evidence or a confession and they seemed to still be gathering evidence
I feel so bad for Lea’s brother and family. I can’t imagine how they must of felt/still feeling. I’m also shocked at how chill and humorous his classmates were, calling a murderer and a sick man ‘fantastic.’ Disgusting. I hope Lea’s family are doing okay.
As an addict who has been in the recovery circle for years and years, he was using her addiction as a huge way of controlling her.
I cam actually see myself in poor lea when I was young and lost.
When you're high, you can have all the motivation in the world. But with those withdrawals wouldve been kicking in, and possibly hoping he would buy her some drugs, she probably did get stressed. And why would she not?!? Completely abused the position and power he was able to have over her.
Every night I would quit and every morning I would be on the hunt again.
Her brother said several times in the video he was giving her money. They were communicating about this, so I think this is another one of his little stories, one that is believable sadly.
I’ve listened to so many drug-using guys complain about their guests when they “save” them from the streets 🙄
Well: duh. You’re actually using them for sex and are feeding them drugs. It’s a shit recipe in any situation.
My 💜 to all those trying to get their bearings.
Or... she never had an addiction and he lied about absolutely every single detail. She probably went there because she needed a place to go for the night, then he raped and killed her and drugs had nothing whatsoever to do with it.

I’m so sorry Lea and Maxx. You had the kind of relationship I always wished I had with my siblings and someone evil took that precious gift from you both. It’s absolutely heartbreaking. He deserves to be locked up for life, no exceptions.
didn’t they have sex?
This might sting a little, but that extremely close relationship between Maxx and Lea, is probably what got her unalived. By the sound of it, Lea had absolutely no concept of being an individual with her own independent ideas and path. So when she spent some time with somebody other than Maxx, her entire world crumbled, and she fell into all that trouble that was listed in the video. I've seen siblings personally who had such a close relationship, that it was stomach turning. They couldn't do anything without each other. It was disturbing, it was wrong, and it was unhealthy. People should learn to be independent and not crumble under the slightest pressure if they have to face the world alone. You're wishing something on yourself that would've likely ruined your life, and you would've never realized what was the cause. Be thankful you never had an excessively close relationship with your siblings and hopefully you can function as an individual.
Maxx you are the best big brother any sister could ask for!!!!! So smart and you showed so much restraint.
I want a lawyer so I can ignore them.
Dude is definitely not a genius.
But then, what do you expect...
Why the hell would Chris go meet up with the ex-boyfriend and brother of the person he was credibly accused of murdering? What did he think was going to happen? Honestly, this was the best-case outcome for him.
It weighed on his dangling thread of a conscience
Which tarot card means you’re about to get your ass whooped?
@@OldJabbaJaws😂😂😂😂😂
A narcissist can't help but think everyone believes and hangs on their every word
This is simple and uber common. He tried to get with her, she rejected him, he raped and killed her. Disgusting 😢
This poor young lady was going through so much and all she wanted was a true friend that cared for her and guided her...and this evil monster took advantage of her cry for help..He deserved the death penalty...Rest in peace Lea🙏
Those "people" who supported him afterwards should be locked up with him! That's so insane he should be forgotten and alone the rest of his life just like Lea will be alone but never forgotten! What he did to her and the fact that she's just lost out there with her soul wondering the earth is the worst part it seriously hurts my heart so much!!
Maybe,just maybe,in a bid for final justice,her spirit isn't wandering the earth at all. In my humble opinion, maybe her spirit is allowed to seek out the man who took her life and haunt his life, awake or asleep. Is there even a chance that she is allowed to wander the halls of his mind,creeping through the shadows like an angel of vengeance bent on collecting his debt?
We can always hope...
Why is she like this? Why not at peace
I was a heavy opioid addict with heroine and fentanyl. When I was using for years I was homeless and crashing at peoples houses- even people I didn’t know very well. Now that I’m sober I feel lucky that I didn’t overdose and die but now after watching this I’m glad nobody ever kidnapped me or killed me. I feel so bad for this girl…she seemed so happy to get her life back on track. rip❤
I can totally relate to this! I spent the better part of a decade addicted to morphine and basically any kind of pain pills, then eventually heroin ... Thinking back to some of the people I put myself in contact with it was around, I just thank God that nothing like this happened to me. It's such a sad story, she was so young and so pretty.
Congratulations to you both for getting clean! It takes a immense amount of strength to not only get clean but to get & stay sober is a testament to your strength! Staying sober is probably one of the hardest yet most rewarding things that you’ll ever have to do. Leah will never have the chance to get clean and see how amazing life can be. I commend her brother for the amount of restraint he showed bc I know that if I was in his position I wouldn’t be able to show that same poise or strength. I would have lost my shi on him’
Crackhead fest
I don't know you but I'm glad you are still with us. We are all brothers and sisters and it makes me happy to hear you came through the other side. I came off buprenorphine 5 months ago and was the hardest thing I have ever done, and you were on stronger drugs. I cannot imagine what a mountain that was to climb.
Thanks for sharing your experience, hope you have an awesome day :)
How did you do it?
The interview with mum said it all. The look of compleat disappointment in her face while he is rabbiting on and bragging about going to minimum security. And she shuts him down with the reality of impending violence against him from other prisoners
I don't even think he realized the level of disrespect there is in using trash bags and putting her in a dumpster. His voice barely changed while telling Maxx! So sad for her family and friends that she was never recovered.💔
It's not about disrespect; he killed her and he was covering his ass.
To be in the same room as the person who took the life of your family member who you was close with had to be the hardest thing to experience. I couldn't imagine and hope to never know how that felt
Maxx seems like a great older brother. You can hear how much he loves his sister, and it’s incredible that he was able to sit in the room with the scumbag that he knew killed her for so long and play act to ensure he got to the truth.
Such a good brother that did nothing for his druggie sister till after something bad happened.
@@beekeeper8474 Okay I get that argument… he was probably an enabler but it’s something that happens so very often. She was only 19 and he wasn’t much older. He was going to give her money but in his mind I’m sure it was to make certain she wouldn’t be on the streets and not buying ‘tainted’ drugs. When dealing with a loved one with addiction, there is NEVER a right answer because you can’t control what they are going to do. So your choice is either to enable (which can lead to overdose/death) or to cut them off (which can also lead to tragic results). It wasn’t up to him to save her from her addiction. That doesn’t mean he didn’t love her.
It’s crazy how much someone can tell on themselves while lying, not even 20 minutes in and you can already get a pretty good idea of what actually happened and you can tell it was premeditated
Because the narrator keeps throwing hints, even when duds does nothing more but drink water.
There was no kiss. She got to his apartment, saw it was even worse looking than a trap house, turned around to leave and he killed her. No way in hell she’s staying and sleeping with him on that “bed”. No way she could’ve overpowered him. Plus if she had sex with him willingly, are we to doubt this “Good Guy” wouldn’t have bought heroin for her?
The comment earlier about Waides mom not doing anything proactive after finding about this side of her son is conjecture. This could’ve still happened even if he did get counseling.. but damn….
When his Mom got that call she knew that darkness within her own boy finally showed itself to the world… good on her for not backing him and sharing what she did with detectives.
Tragic on so many levels..
This is exactly what I was thinking. There is no freaking way she slept with him. And threatening someone with a knife to buy you drugs, even after they overpower you and have a hand around your neck? Suuure.
@@sunnyandthechloExactly. She was a whole 90 pounds. Not to mention the fact that she was probably sick from withdrawal and when someone is going through withdrawals, there is absolutely no physical strength of any kind! He's a liar!
Seems like a cover up incase they discovered the body. So if there’s DNA evidence for rape it has an explanation
I do appreciate his mom’s willingness to discuss her son’s STRANGE BEHAVIORS!
@@lisawhite4698YEP
I’ve personally witnessed a mother lie and cover up for abuses she knew her son committed, groomed me and put me in the line of fire of a predator.
she could have kept covering up for her son and didn’t have to say anything, I’m sure it was painful for her but she did the right thing in that moment.
Can’t fault her for that, she seems like a decent person.
Imagine losing a sibling like this! Very sad
His Attorney must been yelling inside!
Maxx and his friends were outstanding! All of them keeping their cool, with a lot of support for Maxx. They made sure he stayed he kept focused on the task. His strength of keeping in control was amazing, making sure his sister received the justice she deserved.
maxx is a better detective than the actual detectives. glad he was able to help get justice for his sister.
@@sammyblaze4234exactly! People confuse movies with real life. That setup would have took MONTHS for cops because of all the red tape-if they would have been able to pull it off. Also by then, Chris could be anywhere and any unknown evidence is long gone! Police can’t just due stuff like this for SEVERAL reasons, including entrapment.
It’s 2023 so many laws are online for people to easily read and understand. Also there are thousands of resources for people to get answers and learn that the setup done by Max; is NOT something police could have pulled off in the same manner as Maxx 😵💫
@@sammyblaze4234yeah whenever people say Nate cracked the case of Chris Watts and ask why the police couldn't see it I have to tell them that the police did see it but couldn't say it. They have restrictions the rest of us don't.
I don't know much in the court/police business but I think if an attorney says that you should not answer a specific question it's because, depending on the answer, you're fucked
I love that you include all those case photos in your videos. Really sets this channel apart in terms of quality
I've been binge watching this channel for 5 days (uni holidays, new fave channel), and this guy right here is the creepiest person by a mile.
And thats saying something.
Also, in the dozens of shows I've watched, I swear I've seen a total of 3 tidy homes. The rest have been cesspools of filth. What is with everyone throwing their crap around everywhere and never cleaning up their own homes? 🤔
