Have you listen or read the book, Waiting To Exhale? The book is really, really good & has more to it, than the actually movie. If you haven't, watch the movie first, then listen or read the book. I preffer physical book. I'm not a fan of audible books. I love collecting books. Not just anyone tho. I might checkout Audible. Still thinking about it.
The fact that Travis was dragged kicking and screaming from the orphanage, upset that his mom was actually alive and both parents were claiming him speaks volumes!! That poor child
@@andrewsanusi8462 you’d be surprised…it was common to see kids in juvenile hall getting locked up intentionally bc their home life was literally worse than jail
I wish the orphanage had taken that behavior as an excuse to investigate things before they allowed a convicted felon and a man who has already given up his parental rights once to have these 2 kids. Especially considering they've seen their progression while they had them. They were likely solemn kids with barely any sign of healthy attachments, having broken spirits, and hardly known love. As time went by they likely opened up and became more relaxed and enjoyed their time there. Then, when faced with the possibility of going home with their parents (something I'm sure so many of the other kids would have killed to be able to do) they not only refuse to go but become a mess when they're told they don't get to choose; they HAVE to go with them and it doesn't matter how awful their parents treated them or if they continue to treat them so badly. They're the parents, so there's nothing anyone can do. Today, I'd hope social workers would be involved to make sure everything is on the level when they got the kids back and continued to check in until they were satisfied that things were okay. That's why we have those systems, and even though they're flawed af and don't always catch everything, this would've been one of those obvious neglect cases.
I can't stop thinking about that. How come no one started any investigation at this point. You shouldn't be able to drop off your kids at the orphanage and pick them up 2 years later just like that. System failed them at this point. They might have been a different people now
This family is the definition of generational trauma. As an adoptee I know first hand adoption isn't so roses, but I hope that brookeys child ended up with an amazing family and is the one able to break the cycle. Great job as always Danielle.
Thought the same thing . I think it is like that for millions of families but their family story isn't documented like mine. It's horrible tho .I'm 15 and I will do the inverse of the negative I have witnessed growing up . I hope whoever else witness such events will do the same .
@@la23s.a.22 I don't know if my birth mother was worse than the one who raised me, but she had some stiff competition, regardless. When I was 7, I vowed to never be like my family members (the majority of them, anyway). I commend you for not going down that dark path and doing everything in your power to be nothing like them. Don't ever let them take that fight that is in you to strive to be better and to be happy. Good luck, sweetheart. I'm rooting for you.
He is straight white male abuser how dare you say this. Whatever you experienced at 5 years old is irrelevant, he is an adult now and responsible for himself and his actions. Fuck him and may he rot in hell for eternity.
I unfortunately have parents who both had to battle their own demons a very long time ago from the horrific trauma they had to deal with as children…my mom…all the way into her teens. They both pulled through and they are happily still married after 40 years, and I am so ever loving proud of them both.
Being preyed upon at AA/NA meetings is incredibly common for both the recovering addict and their (codependent) family members. They repeatedly encourage you not to date anyone you attend rehab or meetings with. These are seriously some of thee most toxic and dysfunctional people I’ve ever heard about. Heartbreaking, infuriating, beyond evil and disgusting are just some of the ways I’d describe this case.
Side note but I came over here from NOT THE GOOD GIRL’s most recent video on Synanon, and the allegations surrounding AA came up in the comments there as well.
so so true and so so sad, because those places should be a sanctuary for recovering addicts to get better, to help and lift one another up… but like all these stories, the MOST VULNERABLE in our society are always who these sick minded people target.
And the creepy hugging and handholding during prayers! I went to AA with old timers to avoid 13th steppers, and had elderly dudes making crude comments and intrusive hugs and stares
I cannot get over Leroy’s story. That was so heartbreaking. I can’t even begin to imagine the confusion and pain he felt at such a young age. Not giving him an excuse for the way he was as an adult but it’s probably a good example of how lack of a stable home can affect you for life.
I wonder if Brookey’s desperate plight to give up her baby was her one act of love, she likely knew she was only repeating her parent’s cycle and that short time in the orphanage showed her that her child can have a different life - or maybe she just didn’t want to deal with a baby 🤷🏽♀️
I feel horrible for Travis. It's almost like he didn't get a chance. He seems like the most innocent in this entire case. Also wanna know what happened to Leroy.
I love how you end your videos by remembering the victims. Sometimes they get lost in the story and the focus ends up being on the criminal. That's very respectful, great job. Thanks for all your hard work putting these videos out there each week!
During the 20’s & 30’s people that had children and couldn’t care for them, they sometimes mailed these kids to relatives who were better off. If his sisters had no idea of where their own next meal was coming from probably figured a 5 year old would be taken in or taken to a orphanage where he could at least eat. It was a hard time in America where people did what they had to do to survive. My own grandparents raised a few of their their younger siblings. This just wasn’t uncommon back then
@@roserollins9800 my grandma was given to her uncle and had “better” childhood than her 13 siblings but it deeply affected her and she always felt unwanted 😢.
just because it wasn't uncommon doesn't mean it was okay. It's so sad to think about. Especially because that trend seems to carry on into the modern day. :(
@@ItsMadyAgain I agree with you to some extent, back at that time more common for people to care for each other much more than they do now. Now we don’t see the same kind of caring they had. Everyone was in need. Bad things still happened but nothing like in today’s culture.
Re: Leroy’s age in the army - it wasn’t as common for children to be given birth certificates in the depression era, and he wouldn’t have had proof of identification on him after being put on a bus. No SSN either, so age was much easier to fake and non-affluent boys from that era had a lot of reason to see the army as an escape to 3 hot meals per day
My grandfather's step-father was horribly abusive. He joined the Navy at 16 by telling his mother to sign the enlistment paperwork or "something would happen" to his step-father.
@@kitschyd they shouldn't be explaining if they're not sure. Which they clearly can't be as u can be 16 in the UK to enrol. I know someone who did. They dont get deployed until 18. I've always thought it's too young to make such a big decision. Because my mate had to specifically write to the Queen to get out coz u sign like a 10 year contract but he wanted to leave it wasn't for him after only a year and a bit.
The fact that Brookey told her mom's friend that Christine was staying with Travis after murdering Christine . . . And she's cashing both of their checks. I think she told on herself right there.
I wonder if poor Travis is still out there somewhere, stuffed into a plastic container hidden away from the world - the thought makes me devastatingly sad for some reason. I’m sure you’re well aware of this case being as you’re local (I think) but take a look into the case of Arthur Labinjo-Hughes, utterly heartbreaking 💔
Emma kennys channel on here is also brilliant,& she goes into extreme detail. She has covered Arthurs case, & its heart breaking, so much more wrenching than what you seen/read in the news 💔
OMG SAME!! I do the same thing with Bailey Sarian as well. I always thought it was rude to comment something like that because it sounds like their stories put me to sleep but it’s just their voices that are so calming and then I will wake up later on and then actually watch the full videos. Lol
Even if I want to take a nap I will put on Bailey or Daniele, which would be one that I watched in the past and it always puts me to sleep. Thank you for commenting this, now I don’t feel alone and feel like it’s rude.
The original hocus pocus will always have a special place in my heart. I loved Binks and always cried at the end when the cat died even though his spirit turns back into the boy he was and goes to heaven with his sister it still broke my heart 💔
With AA I have heard many times about the "13th step" it's obviously not officially part of AA but this is what they call it when people hook up in AA . People with addictions are so vulnerable. It's a small minority that "13th step" others but I have heard it happens . Also I'd like to add I've never been but very close to people that have been also it's not always that anonymous! Anyone struggling with addictions stay strong you got this. And there are also plenty of genuine people that will help and support you not just take advantage.
Definitely no anonymity in AA if you live in a small town. 16 years sober this month. There is help out there but the healing and breaking the addiction must come from inside your very soul. God bless the sufferers of this disease.
This story got my attention really fast. My grandparents were raised during the depression, had my mom in 1955. My maternal grandfather, his name is Leroy, was an immigrant. He served in the army as well. The similarities stop there because I don't know what their early life's were like
@@MarieM-ui4bu Im pretty sure I'm not. My grandparents lived here in Kansas, lived here until they both died, together had 6 kids, it was their only marriage
This is about your ad and the Golden State Killer. When I was a baby, he was committing some of his murders right in the area where we lived. Multiple people in their neighborhood found things like ropes under their beds - he had set things up at numerous homes before he finally did commit his crimes at one of them, just around the corner from my family's home. Now 48 years later I still live in the same general area. When he was arrested I knew the street immediately, and it's quite likely I crossed paths with him at some point - in the grocery store or something. His crimes are horrifying.
Every time there's a killer who had a toxic relationship with their mother, I find myself comparing them to my situation and being thankful that I've not taken things too far because of my trauma. It breaks my heart when things go awry, which is why mental health is so important and so lacking everywhere in the world. Makes you wonder how people would have been had society/government been more helpful than they ever really are.
I live about a mile from where the Golden State killer was living when he got arrested. More than any other serial killer the GSK story absolutely terrifies me because he was RIGHT THERE.
About the whole enrolling in the army at 16 thing, it was actually pretty common back then especially for orphans. My dad's dad, my grandfather, was made an orphan at the age of 16 and he had two choices he could go to the orphanage or he could join the army, so he joined the army. So it wasn't until later on that they changed the age to 18 I believe.
@@spiceyboogerspiceybooger6437 yeah I remember I had a friend when I was 18 and he was 17 he was about to join the navy then so I could be wrong about the age it also might depend on what type of military? Whether it’s marines or navy or army. My nephew just joined the marines last year and had to wait until he was 18. I know my grandpa was born in England but moved here at 14 and joined the us army at 16 after losing both of his parents at the same time in a horrible accident he didn’t want to go to the orphanage so he joined the army.
My grandfather was 14 (but 6’ tall), left an abusive home and joined the Air Force during WWII. He told the recruiter he was 16 & they never checked, as it was wartime and they needed young men. By 15 is was flying on bombing runs in Europe.
I don’t know what the minimum age is in my country, but looking at my level of maturity at 18, I feel like it should be 21 or something. I mean I wasn’t exactly immature back then, but being fresh out of high school I definitely was still a kid in terms of naïveté and innocence. You only just turned 18 and haven’t had much chance to get to know who you are as an adult and how to handle your life and responsibilities on your own. I understand wanting to serve your country or doing something meaningful, but maybe wait and get to know yourself a bit better? Especially considering how high stress and dangerous it can be/is and how it can affect your mental health for the rest of your life.
I had a crappy upbringing, all kinds of abuse, but thank goodness they fed me. Never once have I thought 'Well, I'll just shoot them' meaning anyone. I left home graduation day, at 16 years old from high school as the law in Texas says you are then an adult & can legally leave (I ran away a few times but they always catch you & bring you back home). My step-father threatened to kill my boyfriend, why, I will never know. After many years we were able to have a somewhat civil relationship and when my mother passed I fell apart for a while. Always wished we could have had a good relationship. I feel sorry for children who had to fend for themselves & not be fed. This can also effect brain development. Cheers for the story & have a great week! xx
So sorry you had to go through that! The police have no idea what you are leaving for and had no choice but to take you back. The punishment would be worse when they returned you
The fact that a person obviously dealing with significant housing insecurity was still willing to stop and help young Leroi is insane to me. What a kindness to offer, when the world has offered you so little
After watching the docuseries on the Golden State Killer I literally slept with a knife under my pillow. My family and I are true crime junkies, but that story scared me like no other. that man is evil personified.
@@Old_Cowboy_Magic those guys were terrible too. I think what did it for me was the fact that DeAngelo still hadn't been caught at that point. ugg, still gives me the heebs
Richard Ramirez (edit:plus my crazy ex) had the same effect on me except I kept my gun loaded under my pillow. A lot of cases after that didn't help. It's always better to be safe than sorry because too many people like this exist.
Wow! I have heard this before but because you are so amazing at telling stories, I did not realize I’ve heard of it before until 39 minutes in!!! You’re amazing at story telling!
My daughter just now turned six and I could never imagine how she would feel seeing what happened to that little boy‘s mom and then just getting thrown on a bus!? Like WHAT!? That makes me so angry and so sad at the same time knowing that I have a child that age… I also have a 15-year-old daughter who ask me all the time if I remember things that happened when she was four years old!! For example she asked me the other week if I remembered her and her cousin going outside and playing in the mud after it stopped raining and me having to put both of them in the shower with their clothes on just to get the mud off of them and out of their clothes. Even I myself can remember things from when I was five and six years old better than I can remember what I did a couple weeks ago.
I just can’t imagine going to the lengths Brookie did - I had a very chaotic upbringing, very violent, but I couldn’t inflict physical, mental or emotional pain on others. This woman made a choice and embraced violence. The ones I feel most sorry for are Howard and Travis: they deserved so much better.
Happy Halloween sweetie! 🎃Thank you for being a warrior angel by exposing the evils of the world in detail so we can know/learn the burning red flags 🚩🔥🔥🔥
At 8:32 I literally gasped audibly because I was not expecting that. Oh my god. I cannot, I just cannot imagine the terror that poor child witnessed. Seeing that is traumatic enough, but when it’s your dad doing it to your mom, the most essential people in a child’s life, that is irreversible child trauma. Just wow.
Daniell, tour videos are such an important grounding experience every week for me. I appreciate you so much and all that you do to make light of these horrible situations and how it effects victims of such.
I was surprised at what a good job was done with the 2nd Hocus Pocus. They stayed true to the original while adding a modern twist. Watched it with my teenage daughter after our traditional watching of the original Hocus Pocus. Enjoyed it thoroughly. Great work on this case as always.
Your in depth research of the families in your cases is so appreciated. 99% of the time monsters are made, not born. The history of what horrors and abuse the main aggressor skmehow survived, really ads a humamizing element. As you say so often, this is not an excuse. Sadly...it seems its the system of child welfare fails. Regardlsss of country. So many warning signs ignored. So many lives could have been spared. Thank you for this service to truth!
hey danielle, I've been watching a lot of your content this year and I realized it's been helping me work through trauma because you're so compassionate. I just wanted to say I appreciate the work you do! I want to suggest the luka magnotta case if it hasn't been done since I have a semi personal link to it. Thanks! xoxo
Omg wot a story, I know she had a bad upbringing, but you would think she would of learned from that , so sad 😞 thank you Danielle another great story ♥️♥️♥️👏👏👏👏👏
Seems like you will approaching a million subscribers by the new year! Congratulations on your steady approach there with the much enjoyed content you continuously bring us! Thank for your dedication to each case you research! I love the style in which you retell us each story with your really creative insight and interpretations! Ps. Stay well and be well by remembering you first Danielle!!!
Thanks again Danielle for doing this one about Brookie! I’ve heard this a long time ago, but no one did a deep dive into her past like you did! Always enjoy your true crime stories! Thanks for giving us all one for Halloween 👻 🎃 🧙🏼♀️
I absolutely adore you and your videos I have extreme debilitating panic attacks sometimes they're worser than others but sitting down with a cup of coffee 'decaf' with the Golden girls on in the background on the couch watching your videos calms me down and it just makes my day so much better keep doing what you're doing and happy Halloween 🎃🧡🖤👻
🙋♀️ may I join this tribe? I'm mostly homebound due to autoimmune disorders, anxiety and depression. I like the way she presents the cases, there's such humanity in how she does it, no flashy sensationalism and she keeps the focus on the victims, which is where it should be. ❤
@@jimmyanngladfelter9659 I live with Lupus and all those additional "side effects"... and we all love those Golden OG's and our Super 🌟 Danielle ... I'd say we've got a good club a brewing😉🤗 PS... today is my birthday,(last one of my 40's, how time flies) 🥳
I would love you to do more British crimes. I know nearly everything about Fred and Rose West but would love to hear your side. You are ace and please never stop 🥰🥰🥰
I was anxiously waiting for you to upload a video today. It's the only reason I have to look forward to Sunday 's. I love the way you tell your stories. True story, I tell my husband, it's my time with Danielle, lol! A girl has her priorities 😁. You're amazing.! Stay awesome!!
I never understood why they saw him kicking and screaming and thought, “Yeah we’ll still give them back.” Is really insane to me because they could have had a chance at a better life smh. And it just breaks my heart about Travis😢
I love your take and discussions on true crime. I anticipate them every week! The podcast is awesome too. Please consider doing visual podcasts as well.
YAY, NEW VIDEO!!! Would you ever consider doing videos about the following people: Lavinia Fisher, Aleister Crowley, James Bulger, or H.H. Holmes? The James Bulger one happened, I believe, around the same time as the Suzzanne Capper case. And even though it's a very rough story, it might be worth hearing for those who don't know about it
There definitely needs to be more coverage on Crowley, especially since New Age is a huge trend at the moment. People need to be aware of what they are dabbling with
@@CharlieKling7 Damn right. In1999 or 2000 there was a show on ABCFamily called Scariest Places on Earth. If you click around on youtube you can still find some episodes. And they did one about Aleister Crowley's cult, and how they had set up a house in Cefalu, Italy. The episode is not part of a playlist (I don't think)/ But it was still finable the last time I looked. The house was called Thelema Abbey.
OMG YES CROWLEY! such a crazy weird life that kook had! but he was so much more than "dark magic, the illuminati, thelema, drugs, and sex cults" sure he was progressive, a free thinker, creative and a lover of the arts and led a sexually free fluid and open life during a time when those types of things were frowned upon. people called him "the beast" bc what he was involved in was so new and foreign to them it likely scared them when in actuality he never hurt anyone or sacrificed them to the devil and all that ridiculous gossip. he was bisexual and didn't gaf what anyone thought about his life choices. he wrote stories and poetry and traveled the world with various lovers both male and female and just bc people disagreed w his lifestyle the rumors of black magic and torture and evil started. the drugs and sex were true as he was heavily addicted to coke and heroin (but the addictive dangers of those drugs weren't made clear back then so he found himself stuck and unable to conquer them) and he came up with spells he performed with others that involved what he called "sex magick" so one only can speculate what that entailed lol. but yes his life has always fascinated me i'd love to get a deep dive on him!
@@MsLax45 Amen! While he was hardly a saint, he was a free thinker, and the world has always been scared of people like that. I would love to see an interview with someone who was in his cult, or who was still a follower of his. In the Scariest Places on Earth episode that I saw about him, 2 of Crowley's current followers shower the interviewer where some of the current cult members still go in Italy. Some still use his Thelema Abbey for rituals, spells, etc. There was evidence of fresh candle wax, alcohol bottles, etc. Does this mean they were doing something evil? Hardly. But that's why I would like to see an interview with a cult member, so we can get the real inside story
My brother was 16 when he went in the military back in the 70s, so maybe it was different back then. Great job,Danielle. You’re truly one of the best out there! ❤
I find the makeup sessions are wonderful, however, I would like to see try darkpurple mascara and liner. It is a great color for blue eyes. I also love the stories that you bring to us, great research. Thank You 🟣
I love your voice and how you tell their stories and backgrounds, it makes easier to understand where they came from and went through life. These people are victims themselves after what they all went through in their childhoods and adult life. I don't condone for one second their corruption and crimes.
Is it sad that my day is a lot better because you posted a video today. Thank yooou Danielle♡ also watching hocus pocus 2 and the og, and prolly halloween town 👌🏼😌🦇
My birthday is tomorrow and a video from u is the best present 🎁!! I was having such a bad day today but I started looking for something to watch to escape my bad day and saw u had a new video ❤️ I love the care you take and the respect you have for the victims
Tomorrow is my first wedding anniversary! We’re going to stay in and watch the new hocus pocus and nightmare before Christmas! ❤ love you and your videos.
Thank you for all the incredible stories and commentary. You are an excellent storyteller, and your makeup is beautiful. Your very appreciated. I have a very stressful job and you take me away with these insane stories. Thank you, EM
Here in USA Danielle; I look forward to anything & everything you share. You do a fabulous job of picking unusual cases to throughly research ultimately producing an intriguing True Crime Video around facts, questions to reflect upon and your opinions. I really appreciate your approach from start to finish. You are so smart, kind, humble, clever and beautiful inside and out. Thank You…✌️ps. Pet your precious pup for me🐾🎃
Happy Halloween! Do more female/child killers please? They are so fascinating to me! Also, this is probably weird but I love your English humor sometimes I'm cracking up because you're just so sarcastic! I really love your page cause unlike the other true crime people you actually do interesting and unheard of cases and you seem sincere.
Hocus Pocus 2 is amazing Danielle! Laughed so hard at it. As for a suggestion for a case, look into the Lillelid murders and the Channon Christian and Chris Newsom case. I live where these cases took place but these cases stick with me.
Hi, Danielle. I just wanted to express how much my husband and I love your videos. You’re my favorite true crime makeup channel. Thank you for all of the hard work you put into these videos. I watch these every day while I play my games. 🥰
I think this is a first for me hearing this case. Well, our front yard is a fog filled graveyard and we're so into Halloween 🎃 here! Happy Halloween 🎃👻 everyone who celebrates!! 💞
This story, like many others, is a sheer example of the effect that environment can have on a person and then back on the society. And if we take a deeper look ot becomes clear that inequality of conditions is the reason for all these horrors
Hi Danielle!!! ❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🙏🙏🙏 I’m so so SO excited for this to have been waiting here for me on Halloween morning here in Oz!!! 🥳🥳🥳🎃🎃🎃🤗🤗🤗 As a psychologist, I truly appreciate all the effort, compassion, and care you put into your video’s, giving them so much much more than “just” entertainment value. You really get into the heart and feeling behind everything you present, and my precious son and I adore you!!! 🥰🥰🥰 Thank you so much for all you do, take care, and know you are an incredible young woman!!! 🤩🤩🤩🧚♀️🧚♀️🧚♀️🌟🌟🌟
*also* thank you for the heads up when you are bringing up certain topics so people can skip through if they need to. You are super conscious of what people might be sensitive to.
Happy Halloween Dani!! 🎃 And Hocus Pocus 2 is really cute and funny!! I recommend it!! Have a great holiday and thanks for the awesome upload/content as always!! 👍🏻👏🏻🙌🏻🤗
My mom caused me to have ptsd, among other mental health stuff, due to severe abuse and neglect...and I just stopped talking to her. I don't talk to anyone who made my life difficult and I'm so much better for it. Suffering abuse just doesn't justify the abuse of others, period.
Happy Halloween Danielle!! Kisses to little Daisy!! 🥰 🎃 We too are staying in, we're gearing up for the Renaissance festival! I introduced this to my love and he has been looking forward to it every year since. 😃🎉🎊 So I ended up pausing it just to clock when I kind of looked up to the side and said, "I am so blessed." 50:32 was that moment. Ya know, I thank God for having given me the wisdom, the patience, the utmost strength, endurance, and protection to get me through my own storm. This is just where I have to repeat, "No matter how bad you think you've had it, there is always someone who's had it much worse, and then someone who's had it much worse than them." It's humbling.
If you liked evil has a name, you should really listen to I’ll be gone in the dark by Michelle McNamara, or Chase darkness with me by Billy Jensen. Michelle’s book adds an entirely new world to that whole case. I would recommend them both though.
Oh my god. I'm only 10 minutes in, but what happens to Leroy in early childhood...I just can't. My eldest daughter is nearly five years old, and I can guarantee that living through that trauma would screw any child up. What he witnessed is unbearable to even picture, let alone go through. What an awful, awful childhood. Not trying to excuse is poor behavior later on (I know, that's an understatement), but he didn't have the best cards, let's just say 😳
Thank you for the video! I was supposed to dress up for my residents at my retirement home I work at, but I’m in the hospital waiting with my husband now & this is the perfect thing to pass the time! Thank you!
Maybe it's because I was adopted that I wonder why Danielle didn't include the baby girl Brookey had with Ron who was put up for adoption as a victim. I assume the adoption went well, but the child still grew up without her parents. I was only three months old when I was adopted and have no memories of my mother or my father. I was lucky that my twin sister, with assistance, found our birth family. Perhaps this child will not be scarred by the adoption as some adopted children but again I assume we will never know.
Adoption is usually considered a selfless gift from the birth parents, realizing they're not prepared to raise a child and placing them in a more stable home. Saying that the child is a victim would give all parents who place their kids for adoption a negative connotation. I'd say she would be a victim if she had stayed with Brookey (assuming the adoption went well, as you said).
I absolutely love your videos. Not only are you an extraordinary story teller, watching you put on your makeup is mesmerizing. I'm so glad I found your channel!
Just in time for me to start cleaning! Perfect! Two true crime books I've read lately that I liked were Slenderman by Kathleen Hale and Small Sacrifices by Ann Rule! Recommend!
I love your show. I grew up in San Antonio, Texas. I also have a case you can look into that very interesting, Alligator Man of Elmendorf. He owned an old Salon and I Know where this building still stands. I have been on the property and the eerie feeling you get inside the building and on the property. The Salon is now a house, still in Elmendorf, Texas south of San Antonio
NEW UPLOAD DURING HALLOWEEN?? OMG THE COINCIDENCE THAT YOU UPLOAD A NEW VIDEO FOR HALLOWEEN 😭♥️ just in time to tune in to the new upload for Halloween ♥️♥️ also just a random question Danielle, do you like horror movies and if so, what's your favorite?
Check out the case of Lacey Ellen Fletcher! It is a recent case, but what those parents did to that poor girl breaks my heart. Love your videos and the merch! My hoodie just came in :)
Happy Halloween everyone! Don't forget to check out Evil Has a Name on Audible by going to audible.com/danielle.
Hope you enjoy the video! 💜💜💜
Have you listen or read the book, Waiting To Exhale? The book is really, really good & has more to it, than the actually movie. If you haven't, watch the movie first, then listen or read the book. I preffer physical book. I'm not a fan of audible books. I love collecting books. Not just anyone tho. I might checkout Audible. Still thinking about it.
Hy Danielle could you talk about Ottis Toole or if you have can i get a link pliz...
Besides that you are doing a great job
We
Danielle, can u PLZ look into the case of Israel Keys from Canada? It would be PERECT for ur channel & would love to hear it told from you! 🥰
Just got it!
The fact that Travis was dragged kicking and screaming from the orphanage, upset that his mom was actually alive and both parents were claiming him speaks volumes!! That poor child
You know it’s bad when someone would rather stay in a orphanage than go back to their parents.
@@andrewsanusi8462 you’d be surprised…it was common to see kids in juvenile hall getting locked up intentionally bc their home life was literally worse than jail
@@h0rriphic That’s honestly really depressing to see no one should ever go through situations like that.
I wish the orphanage had taken that behavior as an excuse to investigate things before they allowed a convicted felon and a man who has already given up his parental rights once to have these 2 kids. Especially considering they've seen their progression while they had them. They were likely solemn kids with barely any sign of healthy attachments, having broken spirits, and hardly known love. As time went by they likely opened up and became more relaxed and enjoyed their time there. Then, when faced with the possibility of going home with their parents (something I'm sure so many of the other kids would have killed to be able to do) they not only refuse to go but become a mess when they're told they don't get to choose; they HAVE to go with them and it doesn't matter how awful their parents treated them or if they continue to treat them so badly. They're the parents, so there's nothing anyone can do. Today, I'd hope social workers would be involved to make sure everything is on the level when they got the kids back and continued to check in until they were satisfied that things were okay. That's why we have those systems, and even though they're flawed af and don't always catch everything, this would've been one of those obvious neglect cases.
I can't stop thinking about that. How come no one started any investigation at this point. You shouldn't be able to drop off your kids at the orphanage and pick them up 2 years later just like that. System failed them at this point. They might have been a different people now
I’m still not over what Leroy witnessed at five years old
Same. My jaw was on the floor.
@@HeatherAnnDavis I’m still not ok and it’s been over a day
I don’t think Leroy ever was either
@@Iron678Maiden I don’t think anyone could recover
It bothers me a lot too. The fact someone took him in who shouldn't have just baffles me too. Like...what??
This family is the definition of generational trauma. As an adoptee I know first hand adoption isn't so roses, but I hope that brookeys child ended up with an amazing family and is the one able to break the cycle. Great job as always Danielle.
Thought the same thing . I think it is like that for millions of families but their family story isn't documented like mine. It's horrible tho .I'm 15 and I will do the inverse of the negative I have witnessed growing up . I hope whoever else witness such events will do the same .
@@la23s.a.22 amazing if you can turn around the negative and be the best person possible and content good job !
@@la23s.a.22 I don't know if my birth mother was worse than the one who raised me, but she had some stiff competition, regardless. When I was 7, I vowed to never be like my family members (the majority of them, anyway). I commend you for not going down that dark path and doing everything in your power to be nothing like them. Don't ever let them take that fight that is in you to strive to be better and to be happy. Good luck, sweetheart. I'm rooting for you.
I feel so incredibly bad for Travis. He was not given a fair chance at life…
His life was pretty much over the moment he was born it’s honestly so depressing and messed up.
My dads name is Travis 😳
@@caityyy8400 Was his mum murdered, dad part of a cult, and sister in jail for murder?
He is straight white male abuser how dare you say this. Whatever you experienced at 5 years old is irrelevant, he is an adult now and responsible for himself and his actions. Fuck him and may he rot in hell for eternity.
@@chickennugget4979 I’m not talking about the dad lol
I've never heard her parents' and grandparents' back stories. Thank you for going so in depth! It makes the tapestry of events so much richer.
I unfortunately have parents who both had to battle their own demons a very long time ago from the horrific trauma they had to deal with as children…my mom…all the way into her teens. They both pulled through and they are happily still married after 40 years, and I am so ever loving proud of them both.
That's beautiful! God Bless them both! Peace too all
what a nice comment
Being preyed upon at AA/NA meetings is incredibly common for both the recovering addict and their (codependent) family members. They repeatedly encourage you not to date anyone you attend rehab or meetings with. These are seriously some of thee most toxic and dysfunctional people I’ve ever heard about. Heartbreaking, infuriating, beyond evil and disgusting are just some of the ways I’d describe this case.
Side note but I came over here from NOT THE GOOD GIRL’s most recent video on Synanon, and the allegations surrounding AA came up in the comments there as well.
so so true and so so sad, because those places should be a sanctuary for recovering addicts to get better, to help and lift one another up… but like all these stories, the MOST VULNERABLE in our society are always who these sick minded people target.
Ah yes, the good old "13th steppers." So disgusting and the women can be just as bad as the men.
And the creepy hugging and handholding during prayers! I went to AA with old timers to avoid 13th steppers, and had elderly dudes making crude comments and intrusive hugs and stares
Yes they chose to prey on these people because they are at there most vulnerable
It is incredibly how parents can destroy a child's life.
Poor people are the most generous! That lady taking him in, even though she was poor speaks volumes
That's why they are poor financially, but rich in the most important ways
@@christinaconway8036 agreed!
I cannot get over Leroy’s story. That was so heartbreaking. I can’t even begin to imagine the confusion and pain he felt at such a young age. Not giving him an excuse for the way he was as an adult but it’s probably a good example of how lack of a stable home can affect you for life.
I wonder if Brookey’s desperate plight to give up her baby was her one act of love, she likely knew she was only repeating her parent’s cycle and that short time in the orphanage showed her that her child can have a different life - or maybe she just didn’t want to deal with a baby 🤷🏽♀️
based on what she does in the casa, i think she didn't want to deal with the baby
I feel horrible for Travis. It's almost like he didn't get a chance. He seems like the most innocent in this entire case. Also wanna know what happened to Leroy.
I love how you end your videos by remembering the victims. Sometimes they get lost in the story and the focus ends up being on the criminal. That's very respectful, great job. Thanks for all your hard work putting these videos out there each week!
Sad case. I wonder how Brookey and Travis would have turned out like, if they'd stayed at the orphanage.
That’s what I’m saying too
It’s so heart breaking to think about wasted life 😢
During the 20’s & 30’s people that had children and couldn’t care for them, they sometimes mailed these kids to relatives who were better off. If his sisters had no idea of where their own next meal was coming from probably figured a 5 year old would be taken in or taken to a orphanage where he could at least eat. It was a hard time in America where people did what they had to do to survive. My own grandparents raised a few of their their younger siblings. This just wasn’t uncommon back then
My daddy was one of those children that was given to a friend of the family and it affected him all his life
@@roserollins9800 my grandma was given to her uncle and had “better” childhood than her 13 siblings but it deeply affected her and she always felt unwanted 😢.
@@KPbouj It made daddy extremely overprotective of us girls to the point that we couldn't go anywhere but to school and church
just because it wasn't uncommon doesn't mean it was okay. It's so sad to think about. Especially because that trend seems to carry on into the modern day. :(
@@ItsMadyAgain I agree with you to some extent, back at that time more common for people to care for each other much more than they do now. Now we don’t see the same kind of caring they had. Everyone was in need. Bad things still happened but nothing like in today’s culture.
Re: Leroy’s age in the army - it wasn’t as common for children to be given birth certificates in the depression era, and he wouldn’t have had proof of identification on him after being put on a bus. No SSN either, so age was much easier to fake and non-affluent boys from that era had a lot of reason to see the army as an escape to 3 hot meals per day
Thank you for this explanation!
My dad joined the army at 17 with written permission from his mother. He completed his GED with the army.
My grandfather's step-father was horribly abusive. He joined the Navy at 16 by telling his mother to sign the enlistment paperwork or "something would happen" to his step-father.
U can get into the army at 16 in the UK
@@kitschyd they shouldn't be explaining if they're not sure. Which they clearly can't be as u can be 16 in the UK to enrol. I know someone who did. They dont get deployed until 18. I've always thought it's too young to make such a big decision. Because my mate had to specifically write to the Queen to get out coz u sign like a 10 year contract but he wanted to leave it wasn't for him after only a year and a bit.
The fact that Brookey told her mom's friend that Christine was staying with Travis after murdering Christine . . . And she's cashing both of their checks. I think she told on herself right there.
Lol just read this after writing mine haha great minds think alike
I wonder if poor Travis is still out there somewhere, stuffed into a plastic container hidden away from the world - the thought makes me devastatingly sad for some reason.
I’m sure you’re well aware of this case being as you’re local (I think) but take a look into the case of Arthur Labinjo-Hughes, utterly heartbreaking 💔
Emma kennys channel on here is also brilliant,& she goes into extreme detail. She has covered Arthurs case, & its heart breaking, so much more wrenching than what you seen/read in the news 💔
This case is DEVASTATING
I heard about the Arthur Labinjo-Hughes case. It's heartbreaking. 😭💔
I swear without headphones with my phone on full volume you’re voice is so calm I literally fall asleep sometimes 😭
OMG SAME!! I do the same thing with Bailey Sarian as well. I always thought it was rude to comment something like that because it sounds like their stories put me to sleep but it’s just their voices that are so calming and then I will wake up later on and then actually watch the full videos. Lol
Even if I want to take a nap I will put on Bailey or Daniele, which would be one that I watched in the past and it always puts me to sleep. Thank you for commenting this, now I don’t feel alone and feel like it’s rude.
Same. Danielle has such a soothing voice.
Me too lol
Danielle, Bailey, and Eleanor Neale are my holy trinity for sleepy time true crime
This story is chaotic lol but the craziest part is 3 people being shot and all of them surviving??? Amazing!
The original hocus pocus will always have a special place in my heart. I loved Binks and always cried at the end when the cat died even though his spirit turns back into the boy he was and goes to heaven with his sister it still broke my heart 💔
Me too but part two was really well done. A rare part two that actually works
I remember my sister taking me to watch this at the movies when i was 11. Great movie.
Me too.
Me too!!!
It has become my tradition since i was little to watch Hocus Pocus every halloween I’m so happy for part two
With AA I have heard many times about the "13th step" it's obviously not officially part of AA but this is what they call it when people hook up in AA . People with addictions are so vulnerable. It's a small minority that "13th step" others but I have heard it happens . Also I'd like to add I've never been but very close to people that have been also it's not always that anonymous!
Anyone struggling with addictions stay strong you got this. And there are also plenty of genuine people that will help and support you not just take advantage.
13th stepping is unfortunately common in AA & NA
@@hallievanoutryve3109 yes veryyyy common 😢
Definitely no anonymity in AA if you live in a small town. 16 years sober this month. There is help out there but the healing and breaking the addiction must come from inside your very soul. God bless the sufferers of this disease.
Lynn! Congrats on 16 years, that is amazing. You are strong and you are loved.
@@marajean4930 thank you so much 🥰
This story got my attention really fast. My grandparents were raised during the depression, had my mom in 1955. My maternal grandfather, his name is Leroy, was an immigrant. He served in the army as well. The similarities stop there because I don't know what their early life's were like
Hope you are not related to these chaotic people from video...
@@MarieM-ui4bu Im pretty sure I'm not. My grandparents lived here in Kansas, lived here until they both died, together had 6 kids, it was their only marriage
This is about your ad and the Golden State Killer. When I was a baby, he was committing some of his murders right in the area where we lived. Multiple people in their neighborhood found things like ropes under their beds - he had set things up at numerous homes before he finally did commit his crimes at one of them, just around the corner from my family's home.
Now 48 years later I still live in the same general area. When he was arrested I knew the street immediately, and it's quite likely I crossed paths with him at some point - in the grocery store or something.
His crimes are horrifying.
Every time there's a killer who had a toxic relationship with their mother, I find myself comparing them to my situation and being thankful that I've not taken things too far because of my trauma. It breaks my heart when things go awry, which is why mental health is so important and so lacking everywhere in the world. Makes you wonder how people would have been had society/government been more helpful than they ever really are.
I live about a mile from where the Golden State killer was living when he got arrested. More than any other serial killer the GSK story absolutely terrifies me because he was RIGHT THERE.
About the whole enrolling in the army at 16 thing, it was actually pretty common back then especially for orphans. My dad's dad, my grandfather, was made an orphan at the age of 16 and he had two choices he could go to the orphanage or he could join the army, so he joined the army. So it wasn't until later on that they changed the age to 18 I believe.
I wanted to join at 16 and I went with my best friend to sign up. They didn’t need our parents’ permission, this was in 1996.
My brother joined the Navy at 17. That was in the 90s. He graduated at 17...by the time boot camp was over he was 18. He is retired now.
@@spiceyboogerspiceybooger6437 yeah I remember I had a friend when I was 18 and he was 17 he was about to join the navy then so I could be wrong about the age it also might depend on what type of military? Whether it’s marines or navy or army. My nephew just joined the marines last year and had to wait until he was 18. I know my grandpa was born in England but moved here at 14 and joined the us army at 16 after losing both of his parents at the same time in a horrible accident he didn’t want to go to the orphanage so he joined the army.
My grandfather was 14 (but 6’ tall), left an abusive home and joined the Air Force during WWII. He told the recruiter he was 16 & they never checked, as it was wartime and they needed young men. By 15 is was flying on bombing runs in Europe.
I don’t know what the minimum age is in my country, but looking at my level of maturity at 18, I feel like it should be 21 or something. I mean I wasn’t exactly immature back then, but being fresh out of high school I definitely was still a kid in terms of naïveté and innocence. You only just turned 18 and haven’t had much chance to get to know who you are as an adult and how to handle your life and responsibilities on your own. I understand wanting to serve your country or doing something meaningful, but maybe wait and get to know yourself a bit better? Especially considering how high stress and dangerous it can be/is and how it can affect your mental health for the rest of your life.
I had a crappy upbringing, all kinds of abuse, but thank goodness they fed me. Never once have I thought 'Well, I'll just shoot them' meaning anyone. I left home graduation day, at 16 years old from high school as the law in Texas says you are then an adult & can legally leave (I ran away a few times but they always catch you & bring you back home). My step-father threatened to kill my boyfriend, why, I will never know. After many years we were able to have a somewhat civil relationship and when my mother passed I fell apart for a while. Always wished we could have had a good relationship. I feel sorry for children who had to fend for themselves & not be fed. This can also effect brain development. Cheers for the story & have a great week! xx
So sorry you had to go through that! The police have no idea what you are leaving for and had no choice but to take you back. The punishment would be worse when they returned you
The fact that a person obviously dealing with significant housing insecurity was still willing to stop and help young Leroi is insane to me. What a kindness to offer, when the world has offered you so little
After watching the docuseries on the Golden State Killer I literally slept with a knife under my pillow. My family and I are true crime junkies, but that story scared me like no other. that man is evil personified.
The story that gave me that effect was the toy box killer and the transcript of the tape he would have women listen to when he kidnapped them.
@@Old_Cowboy_Magic those guys were terrible too. I think what did it for me was the fact that DeAngelo still hadn't been caught at that point. ugg, still gives me the heebs
Richard Ramirez (edit:plus my crazy ex) had the same effect on me except I kept my gun loaded under my pillow. A lot of cases after that didn't help. It's always better to be safe than sorry because too many people like this exist.
@@Old_Cowboy_Magic That case was absolutely HORRIFIC.
@@prettyininkexe which is absolutely terrifying. We only know a fraction of what is actually out there.
Wow! I have heard this before but because you are so amazing at telling stories, I did not realize I’ve heard of it before until 39 minutes in!!! You’re amazing at story telling!
My daughter just now turned six and I could never imagine how she would feel seeing what happened to that little boy‘s mom and then just getting thrown on a bus!? Like WHAT!? That makes me so angry and so sad at the same time knowing that I have a child that age… I also have a 15-year-old daughter who ask me all the time if I remember things that happened when she was four years old!! For example she asked me the other week if I remembered her and her cousin going outside and playing in the mud after it stopped raining and me having to put both of them in the shower with their clothes on just to get the mud off of them and out of their clothes. Even I myself can remember things from when I was five and six years old better than I can remember what I did a couple weeks ago.
Well, Danielle, you've told us some pretty crazy stories, but I think this is the wildest, craziest of them all! Thank you for this one!
I just can’t imagine going to the lengths Brookie did - I had a very chaotic upbringing, very violent, but I couldn’t inflict physical, mental or emotional pain on others. This woman made a choice and embraced violence. The ones I feel most sorry for are Howard and Travis: they deserved so much better.
Happy Halloween sweetie! 🎃Thank you for being a warrior angel by exposing the evils of the world in detail so we can know/learn the burning red flags 🚩🔥🔥🔥
The most horrific aspect of this story is that Leroy and Christine made babies 💔
I usually just like to watch crime videos without dialogue like this but I absolutely LOVE the way you tell the stories. You rock!
At 8:32 I literally gasped audibly because I was not expecting that. Oh my god. I cannot, I just cannot imagine the terror that poor child witnessed. Seeing that is traumatic enough, but when it’s your dad doing it to your mom, the most essential people in a child’s life, that is irreversible child trauma. Just wow.
Daniell, tour videos are such an important grounding experience every week for me. I appreciate you so much and all that you do to make light of these horrible situations and how it effects victims of such.
I was surprised at what a good job was done with the 2nd Hocus Pocus. They stayed true to the original while adding a modern twist. Watched it with my teenage daughter after our traditional watching of the original Hocus Pocus. Enjoyed it thoroughly.
Great work on this case as always.
Your in depth research of the families in your cases is so appreciated. 99% of the time monsters are made, not born. The history of what horrors and abuse the main aggressor skmehow survived, really ads a humamizing element.
As you say so often, this is not an excuse. Sadly...it seems its the system of child welfare fails. Regardlsss of country. So many warning signs ignored. So many lives could have been spared.
Thank you for this service to truth!
I actually have a weak stomach but I watch your videos anyway because YOU KNOW HOW TELL A STORY!!!
hey danielle, I've been watching a lot of your content this year and I realized it's been helping me work through trauma because you're so compassionate. I just wanted to say I appreciate the work you do! I want to suggest the luka magnotta case if it hasn't been done since I have a semi personal link to it. Thanks! xoxo
Omg wot a story, I know she had a bad upbringing, but you would think she would of learned from that , so sad 😞 thank you Danielle another great story ♥️♥️♥️👏👏👏👏👏
Seems like you will approaching a million subscribers by the new year! Congratulations on your steady approach there with the much enjoyed content you continuously bring us! Thank for your dedication to each case you research! I love the style in which you retell us each story with your really creative insight and interpretations!
Ps. Stay well and be well by remembering you first Danielle!!!
Thanks again Danielle for doing this one about Brookie! I’ve heard this a long time ago, but no one did a deep dive into her past like you did! Always enjoy your true crime stories! Thanks for giving us all one for Halloween 👻 🎃 🧙🏼♀️
My 31yr old daughter & myself watched Hocus Pocus2. The original came out when she was just a little girl. One of her favorites
I absolutely adore you and your videos I have extreme debilitating panic attacks sometimes they're worser than others but sitting down with a cup of coffee 'decaf' with the Golden girls on in the background on the couch watching your videos calms me down and it just makes my day so much better keep doing what you're doing and happy Halloween 🎃🧡🖤👻
Me too, and I also find she helps ❤️ sending you some peaceful vibes from one panicky human to another.
🙋♀️ may I join this tribe? I'm mostly homebound due to autoimmune disorders, anxiety and depression. I like the way she presents the cases, there's such humanity in how she does it, no flashy sensationalism and she keeps the focus on the victims, which is where it should be. ❤
Golden Girls and Danielle sounds like a chill environment 👌😌✌

I was anxiously waiting for you to upload a video today. It's the only reason I have to look forward to Sunday 's. I love the way you tell your stories. True story, I tell my husband, it's my time with Danielle, lol! A girl has her priorities 😁. You're amazing.! Stay awesome!!
I never understood why they saw him kicking and screaming and thought, “Yeah we’ll still give them back.” Is really insane to me because they could have had a chance at a better life smh. And it just breaks my heart about Travis😢
Hi we really appreciate you so much. Happy Halloween 🎃. You have helped so many of us especially during the pandemic.
I love your take and discussions on true crime. I anticipate them every week! The podcast is awesome too. Please consider doing visual podcasts as well.
YAY, NEW VIDEO!!!
Would you ever consider doing videos about the following people: Lavinia Fisher, Aleister Crowley, James Bulger, or H.H. Holmes? The James Bulger one happened, I believe, around the same time as the Suzzanne Capper case. And even though it's a very rough story, it might be worth hearing for those who don't know about it
There definitely needs to be more coverage on Crowley, especially since New Age is a huge trend at the moment. People need to be aware of what they are dabbling with
@@CharlieKling7 Damn right. In1999 or 2000 there was a show on ABCFamily called Scariest Places on Earth. If you click around on youtube you can still find some episodes. And they did one about Aleister Crowley's cult, and how they had set up a house in Cefalu, Italy. The episode is not part of a playlist (I don't think)/ But it was still finable the last time I looked. The house was called Thelema Abbey.
OMG YES CROWLEY! such a crazy weird life that kook had! but he was so much more than "dark magic, the illuminati, thelema, drugs, and sex cults" sure he was progressive, a free thinker, creative and a lover of the arts and led a sexually free fluid and open life during a time when those types of things were frowned upon. people called him "the beast" bc what he was involved in was so new and foreign to them it likely scared them when in actuality he never hurt anyone or sacrificed them to the devil and all that ridiculous gossip. he was bisexual and didn't gaf what anyone thought about his life choices. he wrote stories and poetry and traveled the world with various lovers both male and female and just bc people disagreed w his lifestyle the rumors of black magic and torture and evil started. the drugs and sex were true as he was heavily
addicted to coke and heroin (but the addictive dangers of those drugs weren't made clear back then so he found himself stuck and unable
to conquer them) and he came up with spells he performed with others that involved what he called "sex magick" so one only can speculate what that entailed lol. but yes his life has always fascinated me i'd love to get a deep
dive on him!
@@MsLax45 Amen! While he was hardly a saint, he was a free thinker, and the world has always been scared of people like that. I would love to see an interview with someone who was in his cult, or who was still a follower of his. In the Scariest Places on Earth episode that I saw about him, 2 of Crowley's current followers shower the interviewer where some of the current cult members still go in Italy. Some still use his Thelema Abbey for rituals, spells, etc. There was evidence of fresh candle wax, alcohol bottles, etc. Does this mean they were doing something evil? Hardly. But that's why I would like to see an interview with a cult member, so we can get the real inside story
I like Crowley. He's funny. "Hello Boys" "Moose. Still with the pork chops. I admire that."
My brother was 16 when he went in the military back in the 70s, so maybe it was different back then. Great job,Danielle. You’re truly one of the best out there! ❤
I find the makeup sessions are wonderful, however, I would like to see try darkpurple mascara and liner. It is a great color for blue eyes. I also love the stories that you bring to us, great research. Thank You 🟣
I love your voice and how you tell their stories and backgrounds, it makes easier to understand where they came from and went through life. These people are victims themselves after what they all went through in their childhoods and adult life. I don't condone for one second their corruption and crimes.
Is it sad that my day is a lot better because you posted a video today. Thank yooou Danielle♡ also watching hocus pocus 2 and the og, and prolly halloween town 👌🏼😌🦇

Also, this is probably weird but I love your English humor sometimes I'm cracking up because you're just so sarcastic! I really love your page cause unlike the other true crime people you actually do interesting and unheard of cases and you seem sincere.
omg, the childhoods of the parents 😮😮😮😮
"Someone like Leroy should NEVER be a cop" *describes 80% of American cops* 🤣
Yes!
I got a kick out of this too! 😂
No it does not!
Should meet the cops in Turkey.
Listening to you makes studying easier and bearable hahahshshs. It's more on listening than studying most of the time but yeah. Thank you, Danielle! 🖤
"Sit down kids, we've got a sience lesson on our hands!" I ammediately sat straight and focussed more hahaha. Love your video's Danielle ❤️
Hocus Pocus 2 is amazing Danielle! Laughed so hard at it. As for a suggestion for a case, look into the Lillelid murders and the Channon Christian and Chris Newsom case. I live where these cases took place but these cases stick with me.
Hi, Danielle. I just wanted to express how much my husband and I love your videos. You’re my favorite true crime makeup channel. Thank you for all of the hard work you put into these videos. I watch these every day while I play my games. 🥰
I love how long your videos are 💛 never clicked on a notification so quickly too! 🤩
I think this is a first for me hearing this case. Well, our front yard is a fog filled graveyard and we're so into Halloween 🎃 here! Happy Halloween 🎃👻 everyone who celebrates!! 💞
Hi Danielle I just want to say that I absolutely love watching your channel and I look forward to it every week. 💗
This story, like many others, is a sheer example of the effect that environment can have on a person and then back on the society. And if we take a deeper look ot becomes clear that inequality of conditions is the reason for all these horrors
Perfect timing as usual, Danielle!
Hi Danielle!!! ❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🙏🙏🙏
I’m so so SO excited for this to have been waiting here for me on Halloween morning here in Oz!!! 🥳🥳🥳🎃🎃🎃🤗🤗🤗
As a psychologist, I truly appreciate all the effort, compassion, and care you put into your video’s, giving them so much much more than “just” entertainment value.
You really get into the heart and feeling behind everything you present, and my precious son and I adore you!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much for all you do, take care, and know you are an incredible young woman!!! 🤩🤩🤩🧚♀️🧚♀️🧚♀️🌟🌟🌟
I can’t imagine living the chaos. It was chaotic just listening to their lives.
Especially as a child. 31 year old me would have a difficult time let alone as a child. These poor kids.
*also* thank you for the heads up when you are bringing up certain topics so people can skip through if they need to. You are super conscious of what people might be sensitive to.
Travis and West had the same upbringing and he didn't turn out to be a psycho killer, the woman had evil in her heart.
Still not excusing anyone but things affect ppl differently
we don't know how he turned out though
Two people can be raised in the same environment and have completely different experiences. That has been proven by research.
Your amazing Danielle..I look forward to ALL your new videos...
Happy Halloween Dani!! 🎃 And Hocus Pocus 2 is really cute and funny!! I recommend it!! Have a great holiday and thanks for the awesome upload/content as always!! 👍🏻👏🏻🙌🏻🤗
My mom caused me to have ptsd, among other mental health stuff, due to severe abuse and neglect...and I just stopped talking to her. I don't talk to anyone who made my life difficult and I'm so much better for it. Suffering abuse just doesn't justify the abuse of others, period.
Happy Halloween Danielle!! Kisses to little Daisy!! 🥰 🎃 We too are staying in, we're gearing up for the Renaissance festival! I introduced this to my love and he has been looking forward to it every year since. 😃🎉🎊
So I ended up pausing it just to clock when I kind of looked up to the side and said, "I am so blessed." 50:32 was that moment. Ya know, I thank God for having given me the wisdom, the patience, the utmost strength, endurance, and protection to get me through my own storm. This is just where I have to repeat, "No matter how bad you think you've had it, there is always someone who's had it much worse, and then someone who's had it much worse than them." It's humbling.

Thank you for your channel! I hear so many NEW stories from you!!! Not the same ones that get replayed!! ❤❤❤
The first time I heard about this case was on a show called Snapped. It’s the craziest story and so sad!
Your voice is wonderful.. You narrate slowly & clearly. Make up is always spot on ❤️ Thank you
If you liked evil has a name, you should really listen to I’ll be gone in the dark by Michelle McNamara, or Chase darkness with me by Billy Jensen. Michelle’s book adds an entirely new world to that whole case. I would recommend them both though.
This case really highlights the importance of attachment, and the very real consequences of adverse childhood experiences.
Oh my god. I'm only 10 minutes in, but what happens to Leroy in early childhood...I just can't. My eldest daughter is nearly five years old, and I can guarantee that living through that trauma would screw any child up. What he witnessed is unbearable to even picture, let alone go through. What an awful, awful childhood. Not trying to excuse is poor behavior later on (I know, that's an understatement), but he didn't have the best cards, let's just say 😳
Thank you for the video! I was supposed to dress up for my residents at my retirement home I work at, but I’m in the hospital waiting with my husband now & this is the perfect thing to pass the time! Thank you!
Maybe it's because I was adopted that I wonder why Danielle didn't include the baby girl Brookey had with Ron who was put up for adoption as a victim. I assume the adoption went well, but the child still grew up without her parents. I was only three months old when I was adopted and have no memories of my mother or my father. I was lucky that my twin sister, with assistance, found our birth family. Perhaps this child will not be scarred by the adoption as some adopted children but again I assume we will never know.
Adoption is usually considered a selfless gift from the birth parents, realizing they're not prepared to raise a child and placing them in a more stable home. Saying that the child is a victim would give all parents who place their kids for adoption a negative connotation. I'd say she would be a victim if she had stayed with Brookey (assuming the adoption went well, as you said).
Just downloaded that book on Audible. I can't wait to start it tonight! Thank you for the code!
I saw this story on Snapped but you went into way more detail. Brookey could’ve just signed over her rights and let her ex husband keep her daughter.
I absolutely love your videos. Not only are you an extraordinary story teller, watching you put on your makeup is mesmerizing. I'm so glad I found your channel!
Just in time for me to start cleaning! Perfect! Two true crime books I've read lately that I liked were Slenderman by Kathleen Hale and Small Sacrifices by Ann Rule! Recommend!
I love your show. I grew up in San Antonio, Texas. I also have a case you can look into that very interesting, Alligator Man of Elmendorf. He owned an old Salon and I Know where this building still stands. I have been on the property and the eerie feeling you get inside the building and on the property. The Salon is now a house, still in Elmendorf, Texas south of San Antonio
