Taylor Van Diest was on her way to go trick or treating in her hometown of Armstrong, British Columbia. Little did she know that while walking along lonely railroad tracks she would encounter a monster far more terrifying than any she could have suspected that dark night.

All of October is Halloween to me….truer word have never been said sir
not bad on the Nord ad, lol 🙂
Cover ynw melly case
I love my Nord VPN! I’m in NI but my devices are in Dallas, TX. It’s fabulous to go about the world while cosy on my sofa! 😂
@@bethaniel841. I’m eager to see those videos as well!
Kudos to the group who found the phone and got her mother by her side and the police on the scene. Tragically she was going to pass, but because of their actions Taylor was able to die surrounded by those that loved her, not alone in the bushes by a railroad track.
This is the best Comment on here, very heartfelt ❤ ❤
You know what you're talking about.
It's pretty much their only chance at closure for them to be there, to see, and to know.
What a lovely thing to say, I hadn't thought of it like that.
You're too nice for this genre lol.
@@luciuscornelius7177 Thanks 💜 I’m a mother and this story really got to me. I can only imagine how absolutely devastating this would be to have experienced as a mother. If it were to I know getting to hold my child in her last moments would have meant everything in the world to me. That group of young people jumped into action. I think they’re all amazing for it.
It's so sad, but not being alone makes it just a teeny bit better. If ever you feel creeped out by someone, start video chatting or recording the person in an obvious way. It could be enough for them to change their mind if they think others can see who they are. I had someone follow me in the woods, so I turned around and held my phone up while saying "if something happens to me, it's this mf who has a slight limp". The man turned around immediately and walked the other way. My heart was racing, but I had nothing to lose.
My heart dropped when I realized this was Taylor's case. This case hit the town so hard and wanted posters were all over the place and everyone was in and hiding away before 8pm. I saw her before her attack and when I got home to light my pumpkins we heard a scream... That Halloween really didn't feel right and at middle school the next day the news was broken to us. When I still lived there I would put candy on her memorial each Halloween after the angel trail was made.
Literally crying while typing this. She was truly loved by her community and this still has a big impact on us to this day...
I'm sorry
I can't watch this one. Too close to home. Taylor worked at the Deep Creek General store and my daughter went to school with her. She was a wonderful person. There is a trail named for her, beside the tracks. She won't be forgotten.
I lived in Armstrong and knew of Taylor, through friends and met her at parties occasionally. She was awesome, such a genuine human. Absolutely horrible what she went through.

@@VishusVenomdo you really think it's absolutely impossible to run into ppl on the internet that have known ppl who have been murdered? You know millions of ppl from all over the world are online right? Chances are, you're going to come across a couple that know someone who's been murdered or assaulted.
@@kristinwojtowich8902 Chances are astronomical. He’s cappin, and you’re just dumb.
Born in Penticton, raised between Vernon and Kamloops. Truly a SMALL world.
@@morepreciousthangold442spent many years in Penticton
Heard it’s been ruined by crime and homelessness
That text is just heart wrenching. She sensed what was coming, she'd have been terrified in those moments. No person should go like that.
I wish she had immediately called her friend after sending that text. But I imagine she was terrified of potentially triggering an attack sooner and was probably hoping she could get to an exit before he got to her. Poor thing, god knows how the twin must feel
@@nondisclosure3920I immediately thought of the twin as well 😢 I'll actually sometimes do that if I'm walking and am worried about someone I walk past or if they give me a bad vibe; I'll occasionally even pretend that I'm on the phone with someone and say like, "oh, I just got off at x street, I'll be there in 5 minutes. Yeah, I'm this far away, by this store or shop, should be there soon, watch for me." If you give a creep a reason to hesitate, they will. Not always, obviously, but it's worth it to put up that front.
That poor, poor girl. She was on the cusp of living a full life. I hurt for her and the other two victims.
Same , this one hurt my heart. So unfair and sad.
What a generic and broad comment, stop fishing for likes and put more thought into what you have to say, that usually starts with watching the video till the end...
WTF at least say “SPOILER ALERT”!!! Now I know somebody died in this story?! jk but there are people who read the comments before watching who literally say that 😂
@@joojoobaw read after watching
What was she really doing though? 17 year old girls don’t trick or treat.
Absolutely terrifying that he can get out after 17 years. This monster has shown time and time again that he should NOT be released to the public and that he's dangerous!
If people TELL you who they are BELIEVE them!!!
Also I think it's an insult to consider 17 years a just sentence after taking a young girl's WHOLE life away from her.
Unfortunately THAT is typical Canadian justice, if you can call it justice. RIP Taylor.
Yay Canada! Once again. They love taking care of their criminals. He'll probably get a new identity and allowed to go off where ever he pleases once he's out. And if you disagree then you're just a horrible person with no compassion.
Canada has "dangerous offender" designation, which means they are never legally required to release you. In a case like this, he'll be declared a dangerous offender, which means he'll be behind bars until he dies.
The rotten apple didn’t fall far from the tree. What a disgusting family. Great work as usual mate. Much appreciated. Rest In Peace Taylor. A fighter right till the end. 🌸
I loved her zombie costume and those zippers under her eyes were awesome. Heartbreaking that this happened to such a great person💔
Always check your weapons before leaving the house, when it happens, cops won't be there, they'll only get there when you're laying on a cold floor with a severe red stuff leak.
I lived there when this happened and it absolutely still shakes the community. I moved away long ago and I often miss that sleepy little town
This tragedy happened in my hometown. I grew up with Taylor. Her death left a mark on our town and it will never be the same. RIP ❤️
That poor baby

I'm sorry for your loss
@@VishusVenomgreat, another troll 🧌 🙄 Do you really not have anything better to do?
RIP Taylor, you were a very kind friend. She was a sweetheart, and this video just hit me hard.
We now have a trail dedicated to her, kids no longer really walk the train tracks.
She was always full of joy.
That was a heartbreaking morning...i still remember that morning.. :(
Sad, really…so sorry for your loss! Makes me feel sick
Wow she has like 12 friends in the comments and he said it was a really small town. My biggest pet peeve is when people pretend to know victims on videos. So effing annoying.
@@notcatherinehall9265 I live in the area...I didn't know her personally, but the number of people in the comments that do doesn't surprise me. All it would take is one person to who knows her or someone in the friend group to see this and let others know.
And yes, it's possible some are making it up, but I very much doubt the ones I've seen are.
@@notcatherinehall9265 Armstrong has 4800 people and many of the people in these comments, I personally recognize and can confirm - they did know her. This video is circulating among all of us as a couple of us are actually subscribers.
I subscribe and love this channel.. and clicked when I saw a new video.. Then quickly realized you were talking about Tay, and now I'm shaking and a mess. I knew Taylor. I had the pleasure of seeing her and her sister graduate alongside my brother. That was the last time I saw her alive, and I'm so glad I hugged her. She was my brother's bestie, and one of the last messages she sent was to my brother as he stood in my kitchen before she left to go to Zoe's that evening. We knew very quickly something was wrong, even from Edmonton. That night is the worst night of our lives and is permanently etched in our brains forever. I attended the entire trial - it was difficult knowing his history and that it wouldn't be discussed at all during the trial. The ordeal around the 2nd trial is beyond infuriating and was because they were lazy and didn't want to spend the money. The judge's instructions to the jury were crystal clear - I was present in the room for them. It was complete BS, they just wanted a chance to try for an intoxication defense again. I personally do not feel that the Crown Prosecution in B.C. did their job to the fullest extent to get the 1st degree conviction that was absolutely deserved. I have since learned that Forrester is in Saskatchewan in a low security facility even getting day trips. That is not justice. This is something that has deeply impacted everyone. There is no person who knew Tay who doesn't miss her incredibly and who wasn't traumatized by this. It's really difficult for me to hear this one. Thanks for being respectful and keeping to facts where others have not. We had one publication run under Ben Shapiro try to say she was scantly clad (she wasn't) and victim blame her. I lost my mind at them. May Tay rest in paradise. She is so loved, and so very missed.
hey you, it's Veronika. I thought of you and Russ instantly. I had a similar initial response to finding this video. I didn't read the name at first and was just about to listen to the audio...and my heart dropped a couple sentences in when I realized it was about Taylor. Her name exists strongly even in my memory...just by association to you guys and how much it affected you. I really hope this video can help with healing and not retraumatize or burst open unhealed wounds 🖤
@@veronikavanquish Hey V! Yeah I was caught off-guard and was a little surprised at how immediately emotional I got. This year is the first year since that I've actually purchased a Halloween costume so it was heavy on my mind in the last week, as it always is this time of year. I'm not surprised you felt this way too when clicking and realizing. You had a front row seat to the aftermath and it's deeply impacted you too. Hugs.
@LadyHardcore :((((((( I got emotional reading your response. I heard this saying recently; "Feel it to Heal it". Wishing you a good cry, if you feel it coming. I'm glad you can begin to participate in Halloween again. Take it Easy and take care of yourself. Thanks for ur empathy on my experience btw...and including me in these thoughts. I remember R felt so unreachable during this time of year..and I felt powerless to help him. And things would come up all twisted. It really sucked. I know it was hard on your whole family and I'm really proud of how you dedicated so much of yourself to the legal and public relation process. Much Love, *hugs* and "herro" to your furry babies too 😭
@@LadyHardcore p.s. can you let me know if you would like me to delete or edit any part of my response (or even the entire thing)- if there were too many private details shared? I also don't want to take away from the big messages of your OP
@@veronikavanquish Your messages are just fine love - they can stay. It's good for people to talk about it openly - even to this day many struggle to do so. Fur babies say hi to you too!
This particular story has a LOT of comments from people who live in the area, so interesting reading through them. This really effected a lot of people that watch Mike.
It's disgusting that his own father refused to give up his son knowing what he'd done.
Eh I think that would be a Dilemma for any parent though no matter how heinous the act.
@@milesaheadllcI really don't know why that surprises anyone. Most parents are just gonna have that protective instinct for their children no matter what they've done, because they feel responsible to some degree.
It’s hard to ever think your child could be capable of anything that horrid. Ignorance. Willful ignorance. We all say we would hope we would turn in our kid if they killed some one but you just can’t know what you’ll do until you’re in that situation. And hopefully NO ONE has to be but sadly it’s a daily thing, someone’s kid somewhere is killing someone else’s kid. Every day.
Liberals wanted to let them off with a warning
The apple doesn't fall far in most cases, unfortunately
Her case rocked the whole of the Okanagan. It was terrible and heartbreaking the way he left her. The unbelievable cruelty. I was around the same age as her and out trick or treating that night too.
Mike, I'm so glad you're successful. You deserve it. The research, the scripts- you work so hard for us
Thankyou, Mike
Yes. Because we LUV ya!
Geddit... dat troof, bruh.
The research and script is done by someone else
I thought That Chapter was a one man machine? Is that not true?
@@ScammersGonnaScam it’s not. Most channels of this subscriber base size and post frequency are rarely if ever a one man/woman show. The creator would literally have no life outside of the platform
I'll never understand why people who intentionally go out just to hurt or kill someone else are given plea deals. It's not really fair or just for other people who are wrongly convicted of other crimes. It's so sad and sickening at the same time that it always seems to be young girls who are the victims of such senseless and heinous acts.
Deals are for them to plead guilty avoiding a trial. They do this if not enough evidence or fear they could be found innocent with a trial. They also usually ask the family first before offering deal. A plea guarantees a prison sentence. Also sometimes the family doesn't want to go through months of court dates and the trial. It avoids the family having to hear and relive the events. Causing pain and suffering again.
He had a trial and got 25 to life. Then his lawyer appealed his sentence. I think prosecutor probably talked to family who didn't want to go to trial again dealing with it all so he got offered a plea deal. 17 to life. Hopefully they realize how dangerous he is and never gets parolled.
If I were this girls dad I’d be paying someone a heap of money to feed him his own b@%%s while behind bars
They do it to make it easy for overworked prosecutors.
Both comments on here are correct. They also do it because each time he goes to court and while he is in county not prison he cost tax payers money. This confirms a prison sentence. Gets him there faster, and ends the nightmare from families reliving it all going to all his courts. Which is good he needs to go where he belongs. Btw I’m an ex con (not happy to say that, but am) usually crimes like his don’t get parole the first several times the go seethe parole board. In Texas it use to be crimes like his had tho do 85% of their time, ( now it’s 65% for aggravated crimes and 15% for no agg. Crimes) so if he go life with parole after 17 years. After 17 years he is going to get rejected year after year until he completes 65% of a life sentence (25 years). He will most likely do 25 years before he even gets a maybe lol. But it’s all up to the parole board there. I’m just speaking from what I saw and experienced myself along with multiple homies throughout my years on the other side of the law.
Taylor, you brought him to justice. You left this world too soon you’ll be truly missed. Rest In Paradise Angel 🙏🏽 😇 ❤
Those people that heard her screams and thought it was just normal Halloween scares must've felt so awful, I couldn't even imagine having heard the whole thing happen. Idk what I'd do, cuz who would've actually expected that was what's happening, so sad...
I'm one of those, it genuinely doesn't even cross my mind.
Mike loves me 🥰 I know this because he tells me. He’s also the KING of true crime content. Hope you’re taking care of yourself during spooky season, Mike. We love you!!! Thanks for all your hard work
what?
What?
I get it!❤ he loves me too!
All of us!
I literally recommend “that chapter “to all my true crime friends!…
Mike is the best, and I’m obsessed with his channel !
Mike's the only man in my life who tells me he loves me 😅😅😅😅❤
@@kimnederpelt4371 I also suggest this channel to people
Thank you for covering this case, Mike. I'm from the area, and it really shook the whole place.
Thank you for covering this case! I grew up with Taylor in Armstrong and this case really shook the community!
I totally remember when this happened!! I am in Christina Lake (not too far)! Was this in Armstrong? I thought it was Enderby for some reason? I was happy when they found him!!
Same here. It was so devastating and frightening for the community. I don't think it's ever been the same since.
@@itsLindsayJean Armstrong will never be the same. Her murder changed everything forever.
I'm so sorry for her, and your community. A friend of my daughters was murdered when they were in elementary school. It was horrible. We were all affected at the evil done that day.
@taramcgavan7654 That's not what that means, he has the chance of parole after 17 years or later. And the chance that it happens at the earliest is low.
Thank you so much for sharing her story. She was a friend of my brothers and he took it extremely hard when she passed.
I will never understand how someone who murders a person gets parole. How can they say he's getting life when he will be paroled in 17 years. If a person murders someone, they should get life WITHOUT parole!! I love you Mike!!
Bc Canada
Glad to see you cover this case. I lived close to the area where it happened and it was so scary and devastating. RIP Taylor. ❤
I knew that Mike was blowing up but I didn’t realize he had gotten this big at almost 2 million subs. Good for you my man, I have been following along from the very first few”let’s give it a go’s” and I have never been disappointed. It’s nice to see such a genuine and likable person have success doing what they live to do.. keep it up Mike. We all love the content and can’t wait to watch more
I suppose the fact that it was Halloween night those that heard her screams might have thought that it was just a prank which likely would have made them less curious about what was happening than they otherwise might have been if it was any other night
Right!? If i heard screaming on Halloween id also hesitate to call the whole police over just to investigate a scream on a night when people are scaring eachother on purpose but when you're being killed, there might be a certain tone to your screams that we can differentiate from a fun type scream...you would think? But yes, i agree.
Thank you for bringing some light to this terrible case . I live not far from where this happened. The guy who did this and his father are two of the biggest wastes of skin on this planet .
RIP Taylor
In Germany we have this Thing called Heimwegtelefon, means "way home phone" and everyone, regardless of Gender or age can call there and they will stay on line with you, until you're safely home.
Please please everyone, stay safe and don't go somewhere alone this Halloween!
You people have a word for everything 🤣🤣🤣
I’ve heard about this! I think they have something like this in several European countries/other countries. I think it’s so cool and an amazing idea!! I’m in the US and we don’t have anything like this.
That is so awesome! So wonderful a way to keep a person safe ❤
@@Asthmaticapeyou people?
Wtf?🤨
I remember hearing about Taylor and was surprised that they eventually caught this piece of sh*te! Not an easy case considering what night it was. I don't live far from Armstrong and my beautiful granddaughter lives even closer so I am forever grateful that this monster is behind bars. His father got off way too easy IMHO. Rest in peace sweet Taylor.
Canada's sentencing guidelines for murderers is so lenient it's boggles my mind. Interesting way to do a typical "like father, like son" kinda thing. I love the way you work the promotion to the story! You're the only channel that I listen to where I listen to the entire thing, because I love ya!! Great video and see everybody next time!!
Agreed. It's the same in the UK, they treat murderers better than they do their victims.
I was going to say that wobble ours are shockingly lenient
Similar to the UK. Appalling.
@@WobblesandBean 'Monsters' rights'!
Not just there every where.
I don't get parents who cover for kids when they killed someone. But I DO understand how kids become murderers with weak, enabling idiots for parents.
His Mom physically attacked a CBC reporter (Brady Strachan) outside the courthouse of one of her hubby's appearances and drew blood. The whole entire family is absolute trash.
I am pretty sure I wouldn't do it, but I'm more sure that people that say that don't have kids. Some people are shitty but some just really fucking love their kids and are also super broken when shit like this happens :( I haven't even gotten to that point yet in this video so Idk... I just know I have a 2yr old and I can't say FOR SURE that I wouldn't help him in some way.
And we see it time and time again; shitty parents with shitty kids. Not always, of course, but it's a very familiar thread within true crime tales. It always makes me think about the very first scene in the movie Idiocracy, where the well-spoken, educated, intelligent couple never end up having children, and the dinguses across town end up with the outrageously large family tree. Obviously the scenario is exaggerated for comedic effect, but it seems like there's a little nugget of reality hiding in there.
Again -- and I can't emphasize this enough -- this isn't a blanket statement meant to be taken as an absolute. There are millions of lovely, hard working, blue collar families, just like there are plenty of dirtbags from well-off, educated, privileged backgrounds.
. . . [shifty eyes] but still . . . patterns seem to exist.
I'm just gonna shut the hell up now, haha.
Blood comes first
@@gutwallst6645 Yes, it did. Hers. So, I guess you're part of the problem.
Thank you for sharing this story. I grew up in the town over from where she was killed, and was living there still at the time in high school. It was a terrifying time for our town before he was caught and it has been heartbreaking ever since. i can't not think of her and her family every Halloween.
I lived in Armstrong for a couple years. Its nice that there was a memorial built by the train tracks for Taylor. Eerie hearing about it in detail.
I can’t believe we will get a That Chapter episode actually on Halloween! I‘m already excited for it! 👻🎃👻
Eeeeek I know!!! But I'm in Australia, so it won't be Halloween here the day he releases it 😢 it'll be the day after
Halloween is 7 days away though?
@@-xirx- 6 for me lol it's Wednesday here is Australia, and Halloween is on Tuesday next week
How old are you
Mike’s the best
It breaks my heart that Taylor fought for her life, screamed as loud as she could, her screams were heard and… nobody did anything, they heard her screams and didn’t check what was happening.
Sadly a common occurrence. I was visiting a friend in rural San Diego County years ago before cell phones sitting at a friend’s pool the first day I was there. I heard a scary scream. Sounded like someone being murdered. I ran inside and told him to call the cops. He said “It was just a coyote.” But if it hadn’t been the cops would have been over to check!
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
@@bloodyricho1 then actually they are NOT ‘good’ men.
@@bloodyricho1One of my very favorite quotes. I believe it was wrongfully credited to JFK.
Next Tuesday is Halloween again, you go right ahead and go investigate every time you hear screams in your neighborhood...have fun wasting your time.
Mike, thank you for your video. RIP to Taylor, and my greatest condolences to her family and friends. I can’t even begin to imagine what they’ve gone through.
Also, i mostly listen with my eyes closed but I noticed the ‘no glasses’ look at my few glances up. Lasik is a hell of a thing! Good for ya man.
my heart literally skipped a beat when I recognized her photo in the tumbnail..I am from Armstrong and was attending school there when this happened, I went to school with Taylor..it shook the community to the core, that fake letter saying they were going to harm more women in the community had us all on lockdown. My friend and I were wearing zombie costumes too, we were walking down the road to the Halloween bonfire when we heard screaming coming from the tracks...we didnt think anything of it cause it was Halloween..we think now that it was Taylor..so heartbreaking. My uncle used to be best friends with Matthew's brother, I'd been around Matthew before when I was young and it makes me sick...I hope Taylor finally gets justice after all these years, the family deserves closure!! There is a beautiful, lit trail beside the tracks now in memory of Taylor, a big picture board and many angelic statues commerating her, rot in hell Matthew Forester...RIP Taylor 💔
he also had this fucked up story at some point about how he was high on drugs and thought she was a real zombie..he'd do anything to get out of what he did
My god. Her own mother and twin sister found her still alive and barely conscious.... That is horrific for her family. I mean what happened to her is extremely terrible but normally in these kinds of cases the family doesn't find the victim as they're dying. Terrible. I hope he's never granted parole.
It's like the delphi girls murder. The girl's sister was among the little group who found the bodies.
God
Someone made a comment above saying that the group of teens finding her phone and letting her friends and family know was actually quite comforting. That Taylor was surrounded by her loved ones in her last moments. Absolutely tragic for all of them, but in some way bittersweet. I would hate to find my sister or any loved one like that, but at least she didn't die alone. She definitely didn't deserve what happened and it must have been incredibly traumatic for her family but at least they got to say goodbye. Heartbreaking for all involved.
Appreciate all you do. I’m 68 and get bored with sports, so your stories are awesome, an A for your humor. Amazing Shit!!!!!
The sketch of him was spot on with the beady eyes and the nose. When I seen his picture I knew it was him
That Chapter Tuesdays are my favourite! Great to see ya Mike and have a great week That Chapter fam! Now let’s have a goo! 🎉
Wow true crime hits different when its someone you know very well of personally. I lived in this small town and it def felt haunted by this murder. So much of the community struggled with it even a decade later...my boyfriend at the time would go into deep depression in this month surrounding the anniversary of her murder, as Taylor was a close friend. I hope this video and recent coverage/upheaval doesnt cause any more suffering. Maybe even just seeing the interrogation footage would burst open unhealed wounds. Hoping the many many ppl affected are healing 🙏
I even remember hanging a Christmas ornament on her memory tree 💔...would be done each year. Taylor is very very missed😢
A good reminder of how many ppl are affected, to unimaginable extents really...when there are these heinous crimes against humanity
Its obviously still on your mind, I'm so sorry it's effected you/yours to this extent..😢 Prayers my friend. 🙏❤️
@kphoto83 Wow that's really so nice of you! Thank you so much 💘
God Bless , I’m so sorry about your loss . may God protect over you & your family love 🙏🏾🩷
Can we please as a global society start reacting to and calling in screams, gun shots etc. So many of these cases neighbours come forward after the fact saying they heard stuff but did nothing. Even if it's nothing it's always better safe than sorry. If someone had come looking sooner who knows she may have even survived it. Look out for each other and stay safe 💖
I 100% agree. I live in a city, but grew up in all rural areas, and I still sometimes mistake fireworks for gunshots. If i hear loud noises coming from my upstairs neighbor's place, I immediately text or call her to make sure everything is okay. That should be the norm.
@@kristinwojtowich8902yeah I live in an area where it’s very common to hear gunshots (in the woods) but even still every time I hear one I write down the time and amount of shots just in case.
normally yes I agree but this was halloween so hearing screaming probably wasn't that surprising.
so incredibly tragic, a beautiful young woman who had yet to find her place in the world. I love your videos Mike. You report these stories with humor when you can, but show amazing empathy and compassion. I would love to see a video of YOUR story. You have countless fans who love you and wait to get the notifications of a new video. I know I do. There are thousands of crime channels on TH-cam and I think yours is one of the best. I’m so glad I found That Chapter. All your fans know you truly care about us, and we you.
Even when it's your son, when he murdered someone, you should not keep protecting him. He might have done it again.
Right the rotten apple didn’t fall far from the sh** covered tree.
Agree!! Pathetic parents raise shitty kids
The dad probably shouldve gotten more time. His son was probably a serial killer.
You'd be surprised how many men don't even see women as people. His dad didn't care if his son killed again.
I wonder if his dad even told his son he was wrong for taking a life?
Perfect timing to watch some great episode from That Chapter with Mike and the TH-cam fellas, let's give a gooooooo
Breaks my heart. She was so young, full of life and potential. That monster should rott in prison far away from any woman.
RIP, Taylor 💜.
RIP Taylor. She was a warrior and did her part to catch I killer. I promise that if I heard her screams I would have tried to locate her.
I'm very sorry to Taylors family.
My parents ( God rest their souls) always told me that the only monsters on this earth were people. So true!
Hell is empty, all the demons are here.
That’s the saying that always crosses my mind and I believe it 100%.
When we used to hang out in the forest at night as young adults amd heard sounds, people would say oh what if its a mountain lion? Then inevitably someone else would say "what if its another human" and that was way scarier than a mountain lion!
I just came from a walk, I took a shower and made me some herbal tea and Mike uploaded a new video! Talk about perfect timing! Love you mike!
This was less than an hour from me. Absolutely heartbreaking and horrifying. I think of her a lot this time of year.
I live right by the hospital she passed away at and I have lots of family in Cherryville where the POS lived.
Same, except I don't live by the hospital. I grew up mostly in Cherryville.
Not sure whether to be excited or terrified to hear That Chapter mention my local communities. Great recap for a story that was everywhere at the time!
I don't comment often, but just gotta say I thoroughly enjoy your content. Your podcasts have been saving me at work lately.I work alone and having something to listen to definetly makes the time go by! Bravo.
This breaks my heart so much, just knowing that she fought for her life, and still didnt make it. She was so brave, and strong. May this sweet girl rest in paradise. This world is so very wicked :(
You're by far my favorite story teller!
Thank you for bringing awareness to this case. It was hard listening to the news in the 90's knowing victims were living close to my neighborhood.
Thank you and be kind to yourself and others.
Love you too Mike💙
Nothing beats a new That Chapter! Let's give it a goo!Taylor, rest in peace, dearest...
One never knows where true evil lurks. Please, everyone be safe and happy.
I don't like the real monsters your stories showcase, but I do really like your stories. Sadly, you will never run out of monsters to tell us about, it seems there is a new one almost every day.
Loving the new look/format. Been here since the beginning, recommend you to all my crime friends amd they love you too. Out of all the creators out there, you are definitely up there! Thank you Mike.. now, let's give it a goo
Taylor was probably so excited in her life! It's not till later you realize being a senior was really cool! But I digress, I just think about how the heart break spreads through her family, her friends and her community
I’m wondering if u can find info and do an episode on a guy that worked for my dad. Back in the 80’s-and through the early 90’s, it turned out that my fathers employee was the Oakland county, Michigan serial rapist. His name is Steve Hoyt. During his trial he had stated that beating and raping them wasn’t doing it for him anymore and the judge had said, “We caught this man right before he became a serial killer.” He was handsome, very smart, popular and the last person u would have ever thought would be doing that sort of thing-but isn’t that what we all say when they get caught? He had a girlfriend at the time named Twila. Waterford, Michigan to be exact is where we all lived during this time frame. He would take jewelry from his victims and give it to his girlfriend. Poor Twila had no idea and when it all finally came out, she wound up in a mental hospital for awhile.
Perfect day. Called out sick from work and now a new episode from Mike. Good work Big Dog.
You know it's gonna be a great day when Mike uploads 😊 Love you ❤❤
What a creep. Please don't walk through dark places where people can't see or hear you! Eventually, the criminal slips up and he did! So glad he's off the streets! RIP Taylor❤ Another well put together story Mike!
That's victim blaming, and she also literally was heard and no one helped....
Not funny but for the last year of my marriage I made sure someone was always within earshot or nearby if I had to be alone with my now ex.
@@notcatherinehall9265 They heard but didn't know where it was coming from. It's not victim blaming. Quit being so darn sensitive!
@@notcatherinehall9265How did I KNOW of the two comments one would say that 🙄.
Victim blaming would be saying she deserved it for walking alone at night.
Saying everyone should avoid situations where things like this could happen is called cautioning people and reminding them that things like this can and DO happen.
BIG difference.
@@supernova11711 Thanks! That was my exact point! 👍
Mike you should do one on Ronald Clark O’Bryan. The Candy man. Also known as the man who ruined Halloween. Insane story! One of the reasons we couldn’t eat our candy in the ‘80s until our parents checked it. Wasn’t allowed to have anything homemade like popcorn balls, and any candy that had a small tear in the wrapper or tiny hole, or looked weird, was thrown out! Crazy times! Lol
SICKENING!!! Even worse when these sick bastards think saying cannabis is a logical explanation... Been stoned for the past 24 years and never once have ever had the thought of hurting anyone ever come to my mind... thoughts and prayers go out to both those girls family and friends.
Yes Baby!!,another great Tuesday with our boy Mike🤩,the podcast has truly helped me in many ways,including Keith, digging up bits&bobs with you,the historical cases too👍🏻👍🏻,✌🏻💕😻
My partner and I look forward to your videos all week long! We always check, even though we know it isn't time yet. And when you post, it still feels like a surprise. 😂❤ We love ya Mike! Thank you for the perfect content❣️
Greetings from BC. There's a lot of wild stuff that happens here. -- Grew up in North East BC; across province from Van area and a lot of disappearances and other crimes go unnoticed/unreported/they just don't care.
Mike you never ever disappoint. Every video you're on point with all the research. I'm addicted to That Chapter. Just found your channel and I've been binge watching all your videos. Your narrating keeps me glued to the screen. Love your humor and dabs that you give.
Been binging a ton of That Chapter so I am compelled to put it out there….I love you too, Mike!
The creep just happened to take along a handy bit of cord with him that he could easily access in the midst of violent emotions & actions, just in case things got a bit too tough for him to handle? Clear case of premeditation.
Im too nervous to get LASIK but congrats, Mike! You were so kind to wean us into not seeing you with glasses anymore. 😉😊💜
I had mine done 27 years ago ( the lasers are much better now! ) and I still see 20/20+
@@ScubaFanatic60 That's amazing!! I really should just get over it and get it done. Thanks for the input! I truly do appreciate it! 💜
@@ScubaFanatic60really I heard somewhere you hafta get it done every 10 years or so… I knew a lady that had it done but she’s back to wearing glasses again so idk… I want to get it done but I’m scared to
I had it done back in 2000 before the laser tracks your eyes!
I’m old and still see great, just need over the counter readers for up close.
I had it done when I was 29 to correct short sight. Lasted a good 20 year and enabled me to ditch the contact lenses and live life to the max. I’m now 49 and wearing glasses again (varifocals). I’d have it done again in a heartbeat!
The monster's in real life are definitely far more terrible, than any writer has ever imagined.
Honestly it's been awhile since I've been here but I love the way you're telling your stories bc you are concentrating more on the victim getting more inside of their hearts and minds. Nicely done Mike... excellent really! Thank you-
This is one of those cases where it's easy to see his father is probably why he turned out how he turned out. It would be very difficult for someone to grow up in an environment with someone like that and not turn out the same. You gotta feel sorry for those who are born into these families but also be firm about them getting the just punishment they deserve for their horrible crimes. Because at the end of the day he still made the choice to do the things that he did and knew they were wrong.
Mike I'm now completely used to the no glasses look stay with it my favourite teller of stories!!
Hey Mike, thanks for making my afternoon 🤗 this is exactly the pick me up I needed!
Iv 100% been awake too long as i though "what is like 8 at night" Im so tired i forgot fucking time zones existed for a second 🤣
@serenity8839 oh no 🥴😭😂 get some sleep buddy! It's only 12:31 in the afternoon for me 😅
That makes alot more sense haha 🤣@@kodiiii
We get his videos in the evening, Irish time. Like clock work…
My favorite part of your videos are how truly grateful you are for us watching. Well, thank YOU so much for making them and I really do appreciate you and enjoy your delivery .
It's INSANE that murderers don't automatically get life sentences or death.
Hi Mike! you know.....while I'm listening to you, me doing crocheting , deciding with your glassses on....and with your glasses off..telling this story, .....one thing for sure, your wit is grand......hummmm! what is it. you sound just as great with them off and with them on...what is it...... me, a few more videos more . .....dang!!! I missed a whole row on my crochet blanket..now, I got to re-do the whole row,,,, keep up the witty ,can't get enough of your live chapter. I'll be back!!!!!!
Thank you for telling her story, we miss her everyday.
Imagine having your zombie costume be your last known photo!
Thanks for your videos they keep my mind occupied when it very much needs to be and since I have ADD that's hard to achieve! I can't make it through an episode of a TV series usually and almost never make it to the end of a movie but 2 days a week I sit and watch your videos! It's the only "me" time I get! I also listen to every episode of the podcast when I'm out walking! Thanks and keep them coming!
As a GirlMom… it terrifies me to think of my little girl being followed by some creep with bad intentions. You want to teach your children to be safe and aware while not also scaring them so badly they don’t want to interact and go out and experience life, meet new people. Common sense comes with life experience and the brain isn’t even fully formed until 25. So to imagine young adults, naive, social, excited to have freedom but unaware of the actual dangers… it’s truly terrifying.
Kinda like how the days of being a kid, roaming the neighborhood with other kids until sunset, no phones, things happened but not seemingly as much as things happen in similar scenarios nowadays. Or maybe we just hear about it more - but with trafficking you just can’t trust anything or anyone and you can’t be everywhere at once.
I hope I do right by my babygirl and my heart goes out to the families and victims or horrible people like this evil man.
I have four daughters. I cannot imagine losing any of them to a psychopath like this. As usual Mike, great job. I feel more aware of my responsibilities taking care of myself and my babes because of you! ❤
This is sad. I have hated Halloween! When I was younger me my sister and my cousin when we got scared by someone. We dropped everything and ran home. I have hated for maybe 50 plus years. Love you mike💕
Best way to spend my day off: watching That Chapter!!! Thanks Mike! Can't wait to give it a goo! 💜💜💜
Is there going to be a Keith reveal on Halloween! Since he is said to be a bit scary looking. You guys remind me of my son and his friends. Love the stories and thank you for putting out such great content.
Cases like this one always break my heart. I have a 20yr old daughter and I worry about things i never had to worry about with my son.
Amen!
For every question I asked my sons about their plans and whereabouts I would ask 5 more about my daughters!
I've been watching your videos during lunch break for years now. You never disappoint. Thank you.
Thank you Mike, looking forward to hearing about this one. Sounds really scary.
I’m Canadian, and I can never hear our accent in my day-to-day, but as soon as I hear it on a video or recording it’s clear as day 🤣
Excellent storytelling, as usual…and Canadian head-wobble ON POINT!!
Regardless of how well you know an area, pease please do self risk assessments and avoid dark secluded places if your alone, your journey may take a bit longer, but its a small price to pay for your life...stay safe everyone ❤❤❤
Or do a better job of preventing crime in the first place. I'm glad to be living in Europe and not $h!thole North America.
@@bakielh229 How is that supposed to work, exactly?
Those expressions Mike has are hilarious. He's the only guy who can make me laugh when I'm hearing about such sad stories.
I lived in the area at the time , that was so sad. We still miss that kid. Thank you, great job on the video. 👍🏻
