@@AyshaLovesYou girl i dont blame you. everyday i go back and forth bc i dont want to bring a child into the world with it this way! and im already 26 so i dont have all that much longer left to decide... its just so scary out there 😔
I thought the same thing, serial killers can evolve their technique and its not always cookie cutter. Maybe with those 2 other women that were strangled, he decided to do something different the next time, especially when you consider that Arlis (rest in peace) was strangled in addition to the ice pick. Maybe when the case blew up he got sketched and never struck again.
I think it's ridiculous that cops and others act like serial killers can't change anything about the way they do things. Most of them might stick to one pattern but it only takes one killer changing their style to clearly invalidate that assumption in future cases. Like, hit men are serial killers... They don't have to do the same thing every time. People kill for different reasons and it's kind of odd that cops and others so often want to push the narrative of like, psycho genius with mommy issues or whatever, who has to repeat his trauma on someone else. It's caused a lot of issues and people have gotten away with things, and innocent people have gone to prison because they seemed weird
Yeah, that ending really made me sad holy shit. I was definitely expecting a much more “wholesome” resolve for those affected by her case, not some coward ending sided towards the killer. Fucked up
There's no such thing as "closure" for things like murder or rape or child abuse. People could honor the victims and survivors by not ever bringing up "closure" ever. It only causes more pain and sets up ridiculously cruel expectations.
@@tlcmc6451 hear hear! Im tired, really tired of hearing about Closure. Ive spent a fair amount of time at sentencing hearings and It is very sad because in the end, no one wins or feels like they have “closure”. You never get over it, you learn to live with the pain.
her husband is actually a psychiatrist and works in child trauma now. he worked with kids from the columbine massacre, the Oklahoma city bombing, etc. kinda interesting
is the fact that she was murdered in such a brutal way by a random man who didn’t even know her not turning anyone else’s stomach? and sexually assaulted with an alter candle? this is horrific and gut wrenching to think about. also how he was “running late” to lock up and then “found her body along with one of the doors forced open from the inside” the next morning. seems like he had this all planned out and this case honestly insane. i pray this never happens to another woman😭🥺
I really wonder what that man was doing when he was playing the flute, while wearing an afro, in a church at midnight, for a naked lady. I guess we’ll never know 😂
I'd like to think that the memory of assaulting and killing Arlis haunted him every night and affected his sleep for 40+ years. When he was in the middle of having intimate relations with a woman, he saw Arlis' face. He might have been able to live a full, long life, but in terms of the 'quality' of life that he led, I'm willing to bet that it was terrible for him, as it should be. At least, I'd like to think that way.

Dr. Bruce Perry is the leading child psychiatrist in the USA and specializes in childhood trauma. He’s published many books, and was called in to help with the children after the Waco tragedy. I think the drawing he’s holding is made by one of his patients, which are children.
Its infuriating to think that he got to live a long life after taking someone else's. I would like to believe that, in some way or another, he did suffer throughout his life. I kind of need to believe it honestly
Dear Arlis. I'm so sorry for what happened to you, and sorry you and your family had no answers for all those years. Sorry to Arlis' father for not seeing a breakthrough before his passing. Although your killer took the cowards way out and never paid the price for that heinous crime; I'm just glad the police never gave up looking for him and could finally identify who he was. A lot of murder victims don't even get that much. May you rest in peace Arlis', your father will look after you now x X
Please do the missing disappearance case of “the milk carton kids” Patrick and David are the 2 little boys. It happened in England. It’s been 24 years since they went missing and they think they’ve just found the bodies
Evil. You’re telling me this man killed her because he ... hated a school? Make it make sense! I promise you he was rotting from the inside. Even after all those years.
I knew the security guard did it! As a security officer myself, I knew that there was NO WAY he wouldn't of saw Arlis or found her. Number one, you don't just look in the church and call out, you do a round before you lock up. Number two, no way he did a round at two. He WOULDVE SAW HER, especially if she was draped over the benches like that. Also, the fact that it was forced entry from the inside.

I remember hearing the story, before it was solved, but you have definitely gone more in depth than any other report and I was fascinated. At the time, I remember thinking to myself, it “has to be the security guard”! How ironic that that’s exactly who it turned out to be. And how immensely frightening it is to know he passed his polygraph, which just goes to show how worthless they are.
As much as I love Mystery Monday’s sometimes I really prefer these videos where they’ve been solved. I always feel so upset for the families that don’t manage to get the answers or closure they deserve. All of these videos are so well done though!
Something feels weird about the way they closed this case. I do feel like the security guard had something to do with it, but there has to be more to this story. Maybe someone else took part? Also why was her “tombstone” stolen? (Maybe because of media hype who knows) Why doesn’t his handprint match? Who did the semen belong to? Why was that guy who was playing the flute just.. standing there playing the flute? Was he the sandy blonde? Like- whew I don’t know it feels like they scraped the surface. Poor girl didn’t deserve that 😔
Well to each question there’s a good answer. 1. Why didn’t the handprint match? It’s a public church, the candle being handled by the flute player would make sense however let’s discuss the flute player in number 3. 2. Why was her tombstone messed with? Many cases have stories where the tombstones are stolen simply because of the high profile murder. 3. Dude playing flute? Well I mean that doesn’t necessarily mean he had anything to do with the case, he did go to campus and he did play the flute😂some people are kinky. The story ends when they found the dna and that’s what makes cases like these solved. If he had simply assaulted her he most likely wouldn’t have committed suicide. He was a military man after all. He committed suicide because he was guilty of all crimes. Although everything might not be explained perfectly, he was the murderer.
i’m from north dakota! when this case was solved it shocked a lot of us, we are such a quiet state that a lot of people even forget we exist! so thank you for talking about this case!❤
@@AnaHallie Yah you are right. We basically can't feel safe with almost everyone :( Sometimes even our most closest ones can be seen taking our lives! This world is horrible, I hope people who's fate was like Arlis Perry will have peace in the hereafter 😔
@@AnaHallie thats a ridiculous statement. The risk of being murdered by a woman, and sexually assaulted, if you are an adult woman yourself, with no relationship to the attacker, is basically zero. Basically if you are not a child, and not in relationship drama or financial struggles with a woman, you will never be killed by one.
idk :/ just don't go anywhere alone especially at night and make male friends that u can trust to protect u if something were to happen also keep self defense weapons on u at all times
Bella!! PLEASE cover the unsolved case of Brookelyn Farthing case in Kentucky. It is one of the biggest missing person cases my town has ever had! She has been missing for years and no one knows what happened to her. I know her mom and she still tries every year to bring attention to her case. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
I’m so glad this case has been solved. I remember learning about it first as an unsolved case years back. Arlis was such a sweet girl and I know her and her husband would have gone on to live a happy life.
I will never understand how people can become so sick and no one figures out they are mentally ill and does something about it before they grow up and become dangerous. This is such a shocking case. My heart goes out to the family.
My husband is from Bismarck, Nd, and I met him in Los Altos, CA which is where I lived since a child. We met less than 1 month before Arlys' murder. My husband was horrified when her death hit the papers. It was sort of like "what kind of place is this, when you can get murdered in a church??" It was a weird coincidence. I felt so bad for her for she died in a horrible way. Her killer was caught with DNA in 2018 and committed suicide 1 month after my husband died. We didn't meet Arlys but, her life and death haunted myself and my husband.
Hey Bella, I just want to say I love how simple your videos are! A lot of true crime youtubers tend to overdo it with graphics and intros etc and yours is just nice to have on and binge (which I’ve done.. many times) Please do Dingos got my baby? I’d love your insight as an Australian xx
Don't ever talk to cops without a lawyer. Ever. His wife was killed and the cops put him through the wringer. He got mad about the awful questions they asked, and that's exactly the kind of thing they use to show how bad your temper is. They know what they're doing and we don't. Lawyers do.
Very true. That's one thing I've learnt from true crime cases and I tell everyone I know. Its not a sign of guilt to request a lawyer. Get one immediately
That made me so sad when she said she wanted to knock on people's doors to see if they wanted to be friends. I would have loved to be her friend. Poor lonely girl ..
Her case was featured in the Sons of Sam docu in Netflix. So glad to see this solved after so long. Even watched the video of the cops capturing the culprit.
UGH that is such a coward way out! Like what did he know?? Was he the one who actually killed her or was someone else there??? Who did the hand print belong to??
I am thinking that someone was already there and when he stumbled in on it while he was gonna lock up, he saw an opportunity to also be a part of it? And then pretended that he didn’t see anything if that all makes sense
Kielly Garza wow I didn’t even think of that! I just assumed that it was the person who changed the candles out for the church when the old ones burned down but yeah it could have been two people involved. And maybe that dude passed the poly because maybe he didn’t actually kill her but played a part in it? What a bazaar case
@@alyssavez7047 maybe it was the flute guy. I mean are we gonna dismiss the fact that he was found with a naked lady on the floor surrounded by candles??
Hello sunshine, always happy to see another video from you! Also hair goals omg 😍 Glad to hear this case was solved, it’s a really sad one , especially the part when she found it so hard to find a friend at one point, wanting to knock on doors and see if anyone needed a friend. I would’ve been her friend. she seems like she was a nice girl. RIP Arlis, so sorry someone took advantage of you in a place where everyone should always feel safe. I bet you were such a light in everyone’s lives who knew you.
please do the case of george smith!! he “fell” overboard on a cruise ship in 2005, the scene was super suspicious (including a blood stain in the shape of his body on one of the ship’s lifeboats) but no one has ever been charged and no one really knows what happened
I LITERALLY watch your videos anytime i open youtube!! The way you tell these cases is so interesting and you voice is soo soothing and not monotoned like these other people so I LOVE YOU THANK YOU!!
Hey Bella! You should do a video on the disappearance of Kyron Horman! He was a 7 year old from my hometown Portland, OR who disappeared from school back in 2010 and his case is still a mystery. PS: love your mystery videos
Fathima Zahra Khan I know right 😭 it’s so sad. It was a huge deal here for a long time. And a lot of people suspect the little boy’s stepmother had something to do with it which is so horrible.
Yes! I'm from Hillsboro... I remember when that happened and how crazy and devastating it was to everyone. So many people got involved in trying to search for him. That whole situation was so sketchy with the family! Wonder if we will ever get answers about what happened to him.
I watched a True Crime Daily episode on his case, as well as an update a few years later. I really hope that Kyron and his loved ones receive justice someday! 💕🙏🏼😘
I love seeing staple true crime mysteries get solved during this era (the McStays, Golden State, etc) because I can go back to the old TH-cam videos and remember what we all theorized and see how close people got to the truth.
Omg i didnt even think about that! My mind just kind of swept over the fact that he used an icepick. Unless for some really strange reason the church had an icepick (why would a church need an icepick?) then the killer would have had to bring it with them
Bella, I had to take a second look at you because, you could be my baby sisters twin. I'm so glad that this case is solved a sad case but, comfort that it was solved. Thank you, Bella.
I loveeee your channel so much, it is so authentic, you always speak about cases with respect and nothing you do contradicts that. Usually as soon as a satanic element is even *mentioned* as a possibility let alone someone writing a whole book falsely linking the two, most youtubers would put satanic cult in the title or whatever just as clickbait to get views, you haven't done that out of respect and not wanting to spread false info even in the title. 💛🌞
It saddens me that so many psychopaths got away with murder because of the lack of technological advancement back then, especially in the 1970s. But I'm truly grateful for the discovery and existence of DNA, CCTV, etc today that makes getting away with crime that much harder.

so the flute guy and arlis did engage in something when he was playing the flute and arlis was on the floor naked. but what I don't understand is how did the security guard rape and murder her? did arlis not leave with the flute guy or did the flute guy help the security in raping and killing Arlis?

i’m from north dakota! when this case was solved it shocked a lot of us, we are such a quiet state that a lot of people even forget we exist! so thank you for talking about this case!❤
The case w the students that went missing on the bus has been solved Bella !!!
The Mexican students?
which one?
This was a government job.
@@Userr608 Yesss, so sad
Have they found their bodies?? Such sad tragedy that deserves more attention.
I'm so mad, I never thought this would happen in a church. Can we women make like a country for women only. I don't feel safe anywhere. :((
I get your point, but there are plenty of women who kill.
@@AnaHallie Yah you are right. We basically can't feel safe with almost everyone :(
Sometimes even our most closest ones can be seen taking our lives! This world is horrible, I hope people who's fate was like Arlis Perry will have peace in the hereafter 😔
@@AnaHallie thats a ridiculous statement. The risk of being murdered by a woman, and sexually assaulted, if you are an adult woman yourself, with no relationship to the attacker, is basically zero. Basically if you are not a child, and not in relationship drama or financial struggles with a woman, you will never be killed by one.
idk :/ just don't go anywhere alone especially at night and make male friends that u can trust to protect u if something were to happen also keep self defense weapons on u at all times
Men are the problem though. I think you need to keep alot of women near
Bella!! PLEASE cover the unsolved case of Brookelyn Farthing case in Kentucky. It is one of the biggest missing person cases my town has ever had! She has been missing for years and no one knows what happened to her. I know her mom and she still tries every year to bring attention to her case. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
Sure, I'll comment to help spread this
I’m so glad this case has been solved. I remember learning about it first as an unsolved case years back. Arlis was such a sweet girl and I know her and her husband would have gone on to live a happy life.
as much as I love the unsolved cases, I literally cannot stop thinking about them, so I love how you do some really interesting solved cases!
What goes through someone’s head to do that to another human being!
This just breaks my heart. The very place she knew to be a safe haven is the very same place she died. My heart goes out to her family.
as soon as you mentioned the security guard i knew it was him
dna can be faked so can suicide
I will never understand how people can become so sick and no one figures out they are mentally ill and does something about it before they grow up and become dangerous. This is such a shocking case. My heart goes out to the family.
throughout summer hen i was tanning in the garden i just listened to all of these videos the WHOLE summer and it was great
me too!!
I listen to these videos while gettinf ready in the morning 🤣
these videos make my week. these solved cases are my favorite bc they give me some resolution instead of them being stuck in my head all week
My husband is from Bismarck, Nd, and I met him in Los Altos, CA which is where I lived since a child. We met less than 1 month before Arlys' murder. My husband was horrified when her death hit the papers. It was sort of like "what kind of place is this, when you can get murdered in a church??" It was a weird coincidence. I felt so bad for her for she died in a horrible way. Her killer was caught with DNA in 2018 and committed suicide 1 month after my husband died. We didn't meet Arlys but, her life and death haunted myself and my husband.
I am so sorry for your loss
nooooo the dad passing away before closure broke my heart :( and may Arlis rest in peace
not me being from the bay area, having been in that church multiple times and not knowing this story....
Hey Bella, I just want to say I love how simple your videos are! A lot of true crime youtubers tend to overdo it with graphics and intros etc and yours is just nice to have on and binge (which I’ve done.. many times)
Please do Dingos got my baby? I’d love your insight as an Australian xx
Arlis' father did get closure because when he died he reunited with Arlis and she told him what happened. They are both at peace.
Don't ever talk to cops without a lawyer. Ever. His wife was killed and the cops put him through the wringer. He got mad about the awful questions they asked, and that's exactly the kind of thing they use to show how bad your temper is. They know what they're doing and we don't. Lawyers do.
Very true. That's one thing I've learnt from true crime cases and I tell everyone I know. Its not a sign of guilt to request a lawyer. Get one immediately
That made me so sad when she said she wanted to knock on people's doors to see if they wanted to be friends. I would have loved to be her friend. Poor lonely girl ..
Her case was featured in the Sons of Sam docu in Netflix. So glad to see this solved after so long. Even watched the video of the cops capturing the culprit.
UGH that is such a coward way out! Like what did he know?? Was he the one who actually killed her or was someone else there??? Who did the hand print belong to??
I am thinking that someone was already there and when he stumbled in on it while he was gonna lock up, he saw an opportunity to also be a part of it? And then pretended that he didn’t see anything if that all makes sense
Kielly Garza wow I didn’t even think of that! I just assumed that it was the person who changed the candles out for the church when the old ones burned down but yeah it could have been two people involved. And maybe that dude passed the poly because maybe he didn’t actually kill her but played a part in it? What a bazaar case
@@lynnwilliams8295 he was most likely a psychopath so could probably fool a poly test
Sean Ryan true! And like she said back then technology was not the best.
@@alyssavez7047 maybe it was the flute guy. I mean are we gonna dismiss the fact that he was found with a naked lady on the floor surrounded by candles??
Can I just say that you’re a good story teller tbh
I’m also from North Dakota and have never herd of this case! So sad she was so young
You should call this Solved Sunday. I love your storytelling skills✨🥰
Hello sunshine, always happy to see another video from you! Also hair goals omg 😍
Glad to hear this case was solved, it’s a really sad one , especially the part when she found it so hard to find a friend at one point, wanting to knock on doors and see if anyone needed a friend. I would’ve been her friend. she seems like she was a nice girl.
RIP Arlis, so sorry someone took advantage of you in a place where everyone should always feel safe. I bet you were such a light in everyone’s lives who knew you.
As SOON as I saw the picture of the security guard i was like oh it was def him
me too
I feel it is most true, that when he met God after killing himself, justice was truly served in the highest most powerful way it could possibly be. 🙏
Fr 💘
I'm so happy her case was finally solved!! Have a great day!!
please do the case of george smith!! he “fell” overboard on a cruise ship in 2005, the scene was super suspicious (including a blood stain in the shape of his body on one of the ship’s lifeboats) but no one has ever been charged and no one really knows what happened
Such a beautiful woman with a whole happy life ahead of her 🥺💔
Bella you've really been on it posting every week. I'm proud of you
Your hair is flawless! Gives me Charlie’s Angels vibes!
i love how these videos are quick but so full with information. this is such a sad case.
I LITERALLY watch your videos anytime i open youtube!! The way you tell these cases is so interesting and you voice is soo soothing and not monotoned like these other people so I LOVE YOU THANK YOU!!
watching this and then hearing he’s lived in my hometown for so long doesn’t sit right
its the me binge watching her videos then getting scared to leave my house FOR ME- 😭✋
Holy crap! I’m from ND and have never heard of this case before. Thanks for covering it so well.
Hey Bella! You should do a video on the disappearance of Kyron Horman! He was a 7 year old from my hometown Portland, OR who disappeared from school back in 2010 and his case is still a mystery. PS: love your mystery videos
I second this!!! I’m from Portland too 😂
Same, from pdx😂🤞🏼🤞🏼
Fathima Zahra Khan I know right 😭 it’s so sad. It was a huge deal here for a long time. And a lot of people suspect the little boy’s stepmother had something to do with it which is so horrible.
Yes! I'm from Hillsboro... I remember when that happened and how crazy and devastating it was to everyone. So many people got involved in trying to search for him. That whole situation was so sketchy with the family! Wonder if we will ever get answers about what happened to him.
I watched a True Crime Daily episode on his case, as well as an update a few years later. I really hope that Kyron and his loved ones receive justice someday! 💕🙏🏼😘
I love seeing staple true crime mysteries get solved during this era (the McStays, Golden State, etc) because I can go back to the old TH-cam videos and remember what we all theorized and see how close people got to the truth.
Why would he have an ice pick if it wasn’t premeditated
Omg i didnt even think about that! My mind just kind of swept over the fact that he used an icepick. Unless for some really strange reason the church had an icepick (why would a church need an icepick?) then the killer would have had to bring it with them
Or unless it was part of his work equipment I guess
I have tried to watch this video in bed like 5 different times now and keep falling asleep. Your voice is so soothing 😂😂🤦♀️
So glad it was solved. Such a sad case, may she Rest In Peace.
Bella, I had to take a second look at you because, you could be my baby sisters twin. I'm so glad that this case is solved a sad case but, comfort that it was solved. Thank you, Bella.
I loveeee your channel so much, it is so authentic, you always speak about cases with respect and nothing you do contradicts that.
Usually as soon as a satanic element is even *mentioned* as a possibility let alone someone writing a whole book falsely linking the two, most youtubers would put satanic cult in the title or whatever just as clickbait to get views, you haven't done that out of respect and not wanting to spread false info even in the title. 💛🌞
It saddens me that so many psychopaths got away with murder because of the lack of technological advancement back then, especially in the 1970s. But I'm truly grateful for the discovery and existence of DNA, CCTV, etc today that makes getting away with crime that much harder.
not me watching this right after megan is missing and literally sleeping with my lights on...
@Bartholomew Jr. its a girl who was kidnapped there is a movie about her adnd its called "megan is missing" i wouldnt recommend, i found it scary and slightly traumatizing. but it was a good movie.
I’ve been too scared to watch it, is it as bad as tiktok says it is??
@@Lily-rn1ob i would say some of them are overreacting. i did have to sleep with my lights on tho lol, but its more disturbing than sad. definitely not a cry type movie. but ya some of the parts are super scary for me. im also not a scary movie typa girl
@@Lily-rn1ob I think it’s horrible I wish I never watched it, it’s just too extreme and i watched it with my boyfriend and I couldn’t sleep for hours the same night and still sometimes get scared
that movie scared me to poop. it went from 0-100 real fast
Please do the case of Clayton Miller a teen from Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia it’s so sketchy!!!!
I got chills after the first sentence😶
I listened to this on an unsolved mysteries podcast several years ago. A few mins into this video, it sounded very familiar. I'm so glad they finally found the murderer!
But what about Bruce after he finally found out what happened to his wife how is he doing??🥺
I thought of this too 🥺
He’s a highly respected doctor specialising in childhood trauma. He’s never remarried basically threw himself into his career. He’s a really good guy I follow all of his work
@Jimena Guadalup Flores it’s Bruce D Perry I highly recommend to anyone to check him out. He’s so inspirational!
@@angelie3246 wikipedia says he remarried
@@anushkasomavanshi8883 ok well that’s news to me, but I tend not to believe that unless he got remarried last year. I’ve read his books and you can tell he didn’t have many people close to him in his personal life
The transition from happy ad Bella to serious true crime Bella always gets me.
I literally LOVE watching solved cases
The beauty of the church is amazing, only to be defiled by such depravity. What she went through is incomprehensible.
i went to navy bootcamp & the moment i got my phone back i went straight to your page 😭
all these uploads lately😳 thank u for spoiling us with content bella
You should do the cases of Brandon Lawson, Kenny Veach, Trevor Deely, and Henry McCabe! Just saw a brief watchmojo video that included their disappearances, but I'd love to see you do a more in-depth video on each of these cases!! As always, love your mystery monday videos! Keep em coming :)
I had a hunch it was him from the beginning because his photograph looked so much like a mugshot!
Bella enough! Just as I was about to study, I received a notification that you have uploaded a new video. How am I supposed to study now?! 😄❤
Just want to say thank you for your videos and all the work you put into them! Favourite true crime tuber!!!
WOW PERFECT TIMING I NEEDED SOMETHING TO DISTRACT ME , love binge watching your videos :)
These cases make me not want to go out or even think about going out at night alone or with someone I can't fully trust. This is so sad and so scary.
so the flute guy and arlis did engage in something when he was playing the flute and arlis was on the floor naked. but what I don't understand is how did the security guard rape and murder her? did arlis not leave with the flute guy or did the flute guy help the security in raping and killing Arlis?
im sorry it was A METER LONG?! STILL IN HER?! poor girl
She's like 15 days older than my father and it's so sad, no one deserves to lose their life because of someone else
I KNEW IT! i was suspicious since he locked the doors and went in at 2AM around when she was murdered andhe had access
i haven’t watched you in a few years so it feels good to be seeing your videos again
