A man that see's so many red flags and doesn't get away from her is not good or compassionate friend, he knew she supposingly said she was taken advantage of and then she goes with that same guy he must be nuts... sorry but after all he knew about her and still stayed, that's an enabler... if anyone lies to me, I'm gone...
@@lorra222So a man that forgives and forgets faults of their partner is not a _good and compassionate friend?_ who are you to say he's a bad person? So a woman that ignores red flags because they love a man isn't compassionate? She's not a good person? He's a national guard medic, he's a good person in my eyes. He was manipulated too, he's a victim too. Get over yourself and stop being *sexist*
If you ever know a girl who falsely accuses someone of rape, run the other way as fast as possible. Someone who will ruin another person's life in order to avoid consequences for their own actions has serious mental issues. This woman is mental and deserves to spend the rest of her life locked away from polite society
I’ve had a crazy girlfriend like this once. She slept with all my friends while I would be away working….. she even told me two of them raped her to cover it up…. So many similarities it’s actually scary. In the situation you think you love that person and you want to believe them. I probably believed her for too long. I had two kids with her and when we finally parted ways she used them against me…. Turned my family against me and kept my kids from me…. Im not saying I’ve never done anything wrong in life but all I ever wanted was a family … wife and kids. and I ended up alone in another province homeless and addicted to drugs because I gave up on life…. That was all when I was 22-26. Now I’m 38 and am six years clean and a carpenters apprentice with a good girlfriend who I love very much and who loves me…. There is a lot to be thankful for now…Life is a crazy ride
I have a friend that dated this kind of crazy. It was almost a good thing that it finally ended by her throwing a brick through his window, it was in full view of more than one witness and ring camera, she got locked up a little and a restraining order after the police ignoring his complaints for months. She wanted him to fight back because then he would go straight to jail, do not pass go, do not collect $200. These women know exactly how the system works.
I don’t think it was just her tho lol. That whole circle is pretty suspect, even the victim was dating her because he was a pedo that liked little boys 😳.
I've watched a lot of content about this case. I think Jason thought she was fragile and he wanted to protect her, but she ended up being the most brutal person he knew. You just never know.
He wanted to be a gross hero to look like a saviour but in reality she was a nut he could manipulate & lock down a *Teen* into marrying. Him. He was old enough to know better. Predator vibes.
Oh my GOSH!!! He is not the bad guy here! He is an empathetic person and always wants to help people. Also, he didn’t know she was bat sh!t crazy in the beginning, and when he finally figured it out he wanted to separate from her. The trouble is, that is very difficult for empathetic people… because they feel guilty if they don’t help. I’m not saying it’s right, but I am saying it’s true.
@claymac7895, sorry but trusting instincts is terrible advice. It is better to think critically, fact check, and learn more about mental illness and personality disorders. Instincts are not reliable sources of truth.
Trusting instincts is great advice, you sound like the type of person who would fodder for anyone wishing to do you harm. Instincts are a life saver and allow you to make the bets decision in the moment. Not every situation allows you to study and fact check. That is something you can do as time passes
@@scottanonymous798, if by instincts, you mean trusting pure feelings to help you accurately evaluate situations and make sound decisions involving people, then sorry you're wrong. That's been studied extensively and people are terrible at judging deception, etc. The best route to accuracy is to gather objective evidence that takes into account that feelings can lead to wrong conclusions because of fallacious thinking. Feelings are worthwhile to investigate, but not to trust as truth. they just as easily can be wrong.
@JessBlake2 I wish that I would of listened to my Instincts about somethings but I told myself that I was being paranoid and turned out that I should of went with my gut feeling on this lying jerk, this was about cats (long story). Some times you don't have time to accurately evaluate the situation and it's now or never and I wish I would of went with somethings not right here and this person seems shady, but your friends like, he's a good person, so you tell yourself that your just being crazy and then after it's done, you were right about the lying jerk and months later still left with no answers and no explanation of what happened, or were they are and this person lied straight to your face, I told my friend good people don't lie!!!! So he's not a good person!!! 😡💔😭😻😻😻😻😻😻
This dude was/is a true collector of broken souls. He definitely seems to have wanted to fix all of these people - to his own detriment. I hope he’s ok though, but also, that he has learned to keep his empathy safely locked away from those that want to take advantage.
Yep. Codependency will kill you. If you’re always collecting sick people and expecting that your care and understanding will fix them, then getting frustrated that they’re still sick……YOU are sick. Get help. Get healing.
The YT channel Dreading has recently done a captivating series on Ezra. This interview with Jason compliments it perfectly. Thank you Stranger Stories... it is very refreshing to hear Jasons side
I am absolutely petrified! I know her! I’ve been sitting here doing research on her. It took me a while to figure out exactly how I know her. I meet her on a online dating site a LONGG time ago. Going on a couple dates. I never would of guessed in a million years she’d become a cold blooded murder. I wonder if she was still had a boyfriend and was cheating around that time? Fml!! I’m blessed nothing came of it
Intuition is a thing, but it can only do so much. Nobody can spot this kind of vile in one meeting IMO. An expert manipulator will always seem more nice first time around than any random socially awkward person. And maybe nothing came about it because of your intuition in the first place.
From what Jason is saying, seems Woodworth was a prick to her. I get the impression he tricked her into anal sex. Or forced her into it. N she was only 20 years old. Just had an abortion. Had a non-relationship w her mom. I'm surprised how cruelly everyone - including this channel narration - is viewing her. But then again, as a woman, I know that's how the world is. Everything everywhere is all our fault. Unless we act like demure, vulnerable lil babies we're all somehow the wicked witches of the west.
yea his alex woodworths journals describe how he thinks cheating and being with a taken person is wrong but ezra told him (ie lied) time and time again that jason is very abusive and emotionally checked out and she needed someone to lean on and depend on to get out of a bad relationship and that ezra felt like the love of his life. so i do fully understand how a decent person would want to step up and make an exception for the sake of an alleged victims cry for help especially someone that he felt true love for. i think alex was probably a wonderful guy. jason seems like a good guy too. big hearts like these are often chosen prey for predators like ezra
That girl was scary and I'm always afraid my son will end up on one of these shows because his last ex was like this. She told us she was kidnapped, held in an attic where she was tied to a chair and injected with meth...then set free to clean. Naturally, I'm like, "Son, something about this story seems really SUS." and he'd get mad at me. Well, it all came full-circle when a story got back to him that I kidnapped her, forced her to stay in a traphouse with me while I sold both drugs and my friends. Mind you, I took that heathen on vacation with us to TN while my son was out of town working and I was trying to be nice. We were in a huge cabin with a hottub and a view with bears and shit, man. Anyway, I was left doubting his ability to make good choices in partners after that. With all that said.... I think I'm gonna sound (even more) weird but I'm picky about the voice and tone of my true crime content giver. This is the first account to get me to actually do my very first Patreon subscription. Now I gotta figure out how it works cause I'm old and do the pot.
Wow!! What a story! That's a tough spot to be in as a Mom. Knowing but not being able to "fix it" cause it's your sons life. But on a lighter note.... I too have to like the voice of the person or I'm out. It's truly about the voice. I don't care if it's a super duper well-put-together video that's 3 hrs long.... If I can't stand to listen to them, I'm out. Surprisingly, I do this with the men I've dated too. It's part of the attraction process I guess.
why doubt his ability to choose partners ? a good person would normally hear a traumatic story and believe them because most people don't lie and doubting it can come across as rude. it's not his fault his ex was a weird liar. manipulation is real.
You like this ai voice? I guess it’s better than some. The way the tones change in odd ways still gets to me but they are way better than the ones five plus years ago. Those ones grated liked nails on chalkboard. Like the TikTok voice.
Some people never recover mentally from childhood trauma , that is a fact , Love and understanding can heal a heart and mind , some never find that , but all do not become murderers , some have issues into adulthood , it's really sad , but some murderers had a loving home , no excuse for either
@@violethalsey2876 but regardless, it's our responsibility to control ourselves and not push that trauma onto others. It sucks but we've all been through something. Just really hate to see excuses be made for terrible things like this.
@@brettneygibbs9047 In principle, I would agree, but trauma can prevent people from taking that responsibility. It can even prevent them from seeing and recognizing that responsibility at all. They get lost in their personal narrative, and their perception becomes horribly warped. This then informs their actions. That is why a good, responsive and affordable healthcare system is very important. People like this need help asap.
Ezra was a professional lair, manipulator, and VICTIM! She seemed to thrive on chaos, and watching people who cared about her, struggle to help her. Lunatic!
I was always skeptical of Jason's character until watching this video. Generally, well-adjusted adults in their thirties don't start relationships with teenagers. Now I see him as a little immature and naive, but also a sensitive and forgiving man.
Well yes mean he isn't sensitive but controlling and manipulative and the easiest people to try to control are those you don't think are mentally stable. To bad he met someone just as manipulate as him. You can still be a horrible human and not be a murderer.
From what I've seen teenage women adore significantly older men. They don't adore men their own age. Maybe if women were more kind and accepting this wouldn't happen.
Thank you Stranger Stories! I'm a little embarrassed that it took me this long to embrace your channel as much as I am fascinated by true crime (specifically interrogations lately) and I want to thank you for all you do. I enjoy your content. I was happy to get the alert that there's a new video from you😊 Yay.
@donovan no she didn’t…he said in his testimony he didn’t ask and assumed she was older. He didn’t find out by chance until weeks later. It’s the one thing she didn’t lie about lol
This guy acts like he's squeaky clean. He's 33 going out with a girl who is 19,that has the maturity of a 14 year old. She screws three different guys in 9 months. and has an abortion in that time period.....What did he expect? He knew she was f upped, irresponsible, and real real needy to begin with. He's not responsible for what Ezra did, but he's no gem. His lack of discretion, and the age difference and Ezra's obvious mental illness would drive someone normal away.
So, the girlfriend makes the mistake of cheating, and then thinks she can rectify the mistake, by making an even BIGGER mistake and killing the guy she was cheating on her husband with? What kind of logic goes through these people's minds??
You should look up the case of a woman getting revenge on her cheating husband by pretending to be the mistress and “stalking” him for 2 years. Should would wipe diapers on his car, send threats via mail & email while sitting next to him on the couch. Finally he got the police involved and they said “omg the call is coming from inside the house”.
@@salteadog33 I remember that case and thinking what the actual fuck being in awe at the twist, do you remember the name of those involved? I feel like revisiting the case
Have I already watched the entire trial, seen it covered on countless channels ? Yes , will I watch Stranger Stories cover it ? You betca I will I wouldn't miss it !
I have one thing to share with the anonymous world here. I did lie about it once. I lied to this one guy that such a thing had happened to me in my past and the reason why I did say that to him was manipulation. BUT my reason for doing that was I was feeling uneasy, not so perfectly safe (it was a date, first time alone together) , so, I played a role a little bit. I wanted to give him a nice reason I'm not feeling it. That was my way out. I had a feeling about him that it would turn him off. And it did. Mission accomplished. Am I bad for that? I never talked to him again after. Tell me if I'm wrong but I believe I didn't do something terrible doing it to turn him off. Tell me.
@@Kookabrahit's easy to speak the truth in this world. If you needed to let someone down, you don't have to worry about "fEeLiNg bAd". I hope you learned that trying to go out the easy way isn't gonna save you from the world... I stopped lying myself and pay for it daily. Thankfully I became more independent and lack fear of speaking my mind and heart.... Be safe though. You need to protect yourself and I guess I'll contradict myself... Lie if you have to because not alot of people can understand what the truth holds. As a guy myself, I always make myself as defenseless as possible when speaking to women because I don't ever wanna be feared. I just wanna be loved by anyone regardless... but it's not at the forefront of my mind so I can deflect narcissists and evil people who use my desire for love. 😂
As a survivor of ACTUAL SA & DV, I couldn't agree more! They ruin not only ruin a guy's life, but they also make things tougher for people who have truly been ab*sed and people believing us. I think this needs to be looked into more, and prison time SHOULD be sought (along with restitution). That's the ONLY 2 ways they will learn. Heck, I haven't even thought about some kind of a registry for liars of abuse! Maybe that's too far, but to lie about abuse is freaking disgusting!
@@Kookabrah Yes its pretty bad, but its also not a false accusation. Saying you've been assaulted when you haven't is pretty bad but its not ruining someones life to avoid consequences.
Jason seems exactly the kind of friend I'd love to keep. He reminds me so much of myself. Maybe it's just where I live, but it is so hard to find anyone even half as decent and kind as him. I hope he's doing well these days.
@@RamoArt low self esteem. Some people have issues setting boundaries, they are vulnerable. Narcissists seek them out and manipulate them. This happens to woman A LOT, but when it happens to men, people usually react exactly like you do. Nobody respects a weak man.
@Carl Panzram yes you're 100% right. I've been in abusive relationships as a female. I stand with all victims of abuse. My fiancee was abused by 2 out of 3 exes. Violent and mental abuse. We've both experience it. And it can literally break someone into sticking around or thinking they can't do better. 😞
@@brittx803x2 I've also been abused by my ex. In hindsight, it's so weird how I would put up with her slapping me in public so hard her nails would mark my face, or how I would listen to her trash talk me like it normal. Or how she would suddenly tell me she hated me when I would have to get off the phone because it was late and I had to get up early. Or how she would demand sexual attention from me and berate me if I didn't give it to her immediately. I guess it makes sense because I was abused by my foster parents, but it all just seems so dumb of me when I look back on it.
One the the best trials! When the guy here showed up to testify, Ezra was so made up, hair done, and wearing a green sweater he had bought her… it was so OBVIOUS that she was wanting his attention! 😂
I don’t know how you couldn’t possibly realize this lady is NUTS because she changed her legal name to be that of someone she has no relation to from a book/movie. As if that’s not already a red flag enough. Insane.
Every time a couple gets married they have to legally change their name... I had my last name changed because of a custody battle. It's literally not that crazy. It's something people do every single day.
It's interesting to see a conpletely honest interview occasionally, it helps show just how bad a job some do at acting natural. He comfortably interrupts and talks over without nerves, details are repeatable and instant and he looks about as relaxed as you can be in thst odd scenario. Great interview.
This guy was in a pathetic relationship from the start . Poor guy was only trying to make a decent living and then to be subjected to a ungrateful, lying, manipulative, murderer of a wife. To bad he fell into the misconception that “your disfunctional childhood caused you to act out , with disregard to the law . She was lethal.
Oh please he was a creepy predator 14 years her senior who locked her down asap. Even said in this video he had absolutely nothing in common with her. Purely a lustful codependent relationship from the start. He wanted to be a saviour who could brag he had a teen wife & she’s a perpetual victim. Bro fucked around & found out.
Jason is too kind for his own good. Ezra took advantage of his kind heart and used him and when she realised what a good person he was she killed her current boyfriend to try get him back. She is a leach. So sorry for Alex who she killed for no reason and I hope she rots in prison. He really dodged the bullet there He wasn’t that silly cause he stopped sleeping with her because of his suspicions and he was right about her promiscuous behaviour. Hope he’s in a better place now and found someone who appreciates him for the kind lovely man he is
She got 50 years to Life and well deserved, cant even apply for parole until 50 years from now....thats about right. Ezra is a complete and total psychopath...what she did to Alex, and the way she had ZERO remorse afterwards, is vile. pure crack rock of evil. Jason here is just a big dummy, hopefully has grown into the man he clearly wants to be.
He was in his 30’s when all this happened, he shouldn’t have been so dumb and naive at this point in his life imo. I feel it’s not likely that he has or will improve much.
@alexb7641 If you think that makes no sense, you need to rethink the situation. The police are not your friends. Sure, he is innocent, and we know this, but you have the right to have legal counsel with you whenever speaking with law enforcement. You always want to use their expertise to make sure you answer all questions without unintentionally incriminating yourself or say something that gives them the impression you might be guilty.
@@alexb7641 are you a lawyer? Do you know all that a criminal defense lawyer knows? I'm not saying that it was super necessary in this exact situation. But it is the safest thing to do and is your right to have a lawyer present whenever speaking to law enforcement. Why do you have such a problem with saying useful and beneficial knowledge? It's just smart to always have a lawyer present in these situations.
@@Jake_The_Snek36 lawyers are scumbags. He would’ve sat there, did absolutely nothing, then charged you $3k. Not to mention it would’ve held up a murder investigation while litigious games are being played.
I just have to say one thing after this - Jason! I hope you meet a kind, wholesome, caring, and empathic girl. Run for the hills if your closest friends smell something fishy. Get some counseling too. I would have had huge trust issues after this madness. Good luck with the rest of your life.
I mean, woman put up with the same crap regularly. It all comes down to your character. When you score high in trait agreeableness, and you have confidence issues, narcissists will seek you out and eat you alive. (woman usually score higher in agreeableness by a pretty large margin) These people are so vulnerable, and narcissists can manipulate and abuse them just how they like to. With men it's often physical abuse, with woman it's usually emotional abuse.
So many men feel a bizarre need to rescue women who actually need to rescue themselves. Unless you are a psychiatrist or similar, stay away from people who present as pathetic, broken victims. I think that both peoples unhealthy needs are at work in relationships like this. Find a more real way to be a hero. Acknowledge your own twists and work on them, instead of believing that you must rescue and fix another person.
At 33 years of age he should not be involved with a 19yr olds drama let alone date. Some people love to play the Hero role and Ezra was the perfect victim that needed saving. Hearing him talk about HAVING to break up a domestic violence situation is 🤦🏻♀️ This man loves drama He welcomes drama so easily. Although his intentions are good It’s very unhealthy Thank goodness Ezra didn’t coax him into aiding her murder but it goes to show how is behavior can get him into dangerous situations.
This guy is about 25 years too old to be using "like" every third word. I am not sure I am going to make it through this video. Now, having said that, I feel so sorry for him - he thought his wife was fragile and needed protection when she was actually a vile dangerous person. I hope he's doing well today.
He’s empathic, mature, generous and handsome. Shame he’s had to experience someone like her in his life. I think he seems like a rare human and an absolute catch. She’s just a psychopath
The title is clickbait. He already knew she killed someone before this interview because she had already been charged and was in jail. This is a follow up interview for him as as he’s a witness that has to testify at her trial.
Idk...she was only 22 when sentenced...she'll spend her 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s into her 70s in prison, and there's no guarantee she gets out in her 70s. But on another level, the fact she's alive is unfair. Wisconsin should reinstate the death penalty. I mean even Dahmer was merely sentenced to life, when he should've certainly been executed (but we all know Scarver took care of that)
@@zacharymarkham5232 What's wrong with that? She was over 18, so she is a adult capable of deciding who to have a relationship with. Not to Mention that he was not out to use her, while she was litteraly a manipulative, murdering, lying and cheating sociopath. This case should really show you how wrong your notion of an age gap and it's Implications can be. The 33 year old here is one of the VICTIMS of the 19 year old.
Ezra doesn't understand herself, her own Identity. She's searching for ways to satisfy her needs, but using random methods and has accepted no good model that guides her. She's lost in preoccupation with herself. She's not thinking about the needs, expectations and rights of others. So far shows no understanding that other beings deserve to get equal consideration and as such has successfuly selected herself out of the gene pool. It would be interesting to know about her parents any siblings? Her relationship with family members. What her upbringing was like. All that information would help to build a better picture of the circumstances that are more likely to result in tragedy. With a genetic predisposition and an absence of wise parenting, such end results become more probable.
One time someone called me from a bathroom and told me my phone number was written on the wall and asked me if I wanted them to scribble it out, I said yes thank you and we had a great laugh 😂
That part had me laughing too 😂 I’ve had one before and you just have a normal period after. The hormone levels aren’t high enough at that point to have postnatal depression. She’s just manipulative clearly lol
@@Chloe__________xx I mean you can be traumatized or get depression after an abortion for sure but that would be because she decided to have this extreme procedure done and couldn't deal with her decision, not because of the trauma giving birth can cause or the hormonal chaos after it.
I'm not even 10 minutes in and the phrase "she a young girl and should not be reading heavy topics" like dude if you think she too young for topic then she too young to be in a relationship with you.
@@AidaShawJ.D. legally he isn't an we should not water that word down for probably every other case in the true crime sphere. But I'm not saying he isn't a manipulate man child who think he can control female, two plsyers met and he met his match in some equally as manipulative. I will only feel bad for the family of everyone in this case they didn't deserve any of this.
@@sadem1045 if that's what you take away from that I really can't help you. And I don't know if you are defensive over your own situation not the one you're should be upset with but your own lack of introspective.
Ezra is the definition of a psychotic, manipulative "crazy girlfriend." He was abused and he didnt know it was happening. He wasnt blind at least. Tbf I was raped at 18 and also didnt report it. My small town wouldnt prosecute this person and I knew it so I didnt try. I didnt want to go through a trial either in this situation. I live in a very small town. If I reported everyone would know and it would be problems for my family too. Its not right but it was the emotionally and physically safest choice for me then. That person has now been on the run for years due to an incident of.severe violence.....they turned out to be a sociopath or psychopath. They would have hurt me then.
I’m so sorry you went through that and couldn’t seek justice, either. I hope you’ve come to some peace over it, and glad you made it out alive from that sorry excuse for a man.
He was surrounded by sociopaths and they were all just fucking with him because he was the only one who had any heart. This should be a movie, from his perspective. It's like a thriller how it starts unfolding and falling apart.
I remember this case...I think this killer got 50 years and well deserved; she thought her youth and innocent look would get her off...It didnt..Tku Jury
When this interrogation was done.....was she already charged and convicted? Or was the guy she killed, only just found? And they were trying to gather evidence/information to get a case together? Maybe its already been said why hes being questioned etc but I've missed it. I'm half way through, but just not getting where they are in the case, so to speak.
OK, I've gathered she's locked up already, but still unsure why he's being questioned? Unless she's not convicted yet and they're getting a case ready to go against her in court?
They are eliminating Jason as an accomplice while also comparing timelines to get more facts to convict her with. Jason ends up being a witness for the prosecution.
This poor guy having to sit there and break his head about his relationship and dealings with this girl, someone he's trying to forget. That's tough, man. This makes me glad I'm single because dealing with people and their problems are just the worst.
I am 62 and never, ever cheated! I have too much Self- Respect! Breaks are great! Doing what you love and letting your loved one go do what they love to do because it makes them happy, is true love!
I like how the national guard dude answers questions with “roger that” and “negative” as if yes and no aren’t easier answers, just like the national guard. 🤷🏻♂️😂
You dont know how much of a anxiety relief it is as a viewer to not have to watch a liar continually dig a hole. As much as I sympathize; if the bad guy isnt completely bat shit crazy, id rather watch the innocent.
Love your channel, but I wish you'd add subtitles. Not only is it a nice thing to do for people who are hard of hearing or deaf, but the sound in interrogation rooms is awful. I'm five minutes in and I haven't understood a word they've said.
@@phangirlable I actually am well aware of exactly how long it would take because I worked for 2 years as someone who wrote closed captions. They have 600K subs, they can hire someone to do it. A video of this length would cost about $100-$200 and making your videos more accessible means more views and more money, so that $100-$200 would be covered in day. I am very well aware that TH-cam has automated closed captioning. If a human with normal hearing has a problem understanding something, how well do you think a computer is going to do? Automated CC on difficult to hear videos is usually comical. A lot of times, it will just say "music" when it can't figure out what they're saying.
yes and what 'll really blow your mind is when you figure out A LOT of their lies were told to you for ansolutely NO reason other than to keep you so dissoriented & so unable to know what was true and what was not all around you. My late ex huvvy I discovered so many big whopper les later after he was gone and there was no reason for tem, not to manipulate me into doing anything, or to keep me from knowing something....just NO reason at all. SCARY how crazy these types are and theamount of damage they 'll do to your relationships with everyone you care about by just dropping lies all the time, to you AND to everyone in your life.
All too often we hear of this tale of everybody could see the partner that their friend chooses is awful but the one with rose-colored glasses are steadily making it to where she still able to be around no warning signs are red flags are being paid attention to. Hopefully he hasn't lost his ability to love but has grown a backbone and a little bit of discernment when it comes to other's now because he did repeat that he just trust people and even though wonderful traits he carries are very much needed among Us you shouldn't have to suffer to love someone nor you shouldn't have to make excuses or second-guess yourself so let's just hope this man's backbone has formed throughout this trauma that he had to go through.
That guy has GOT to get into therapy and address his low self esteem and codependent nature. I mean...Come ON. Nothing about what he tolerated made any sense. He is going to continue to be a target for malignant narcissists until he addresses what's going on with him.
Right, because being wholesome and kind-hearted is a mental health issue. Everyone should be a paranoid schizo who buys more guns than their neighbors because they have more guns. How about those malignant narcissists you mentioned go into therapy instead? Leave that guy alone.
So sorry you went through all this Jason .You never know people very scary .she was very sick I hope she never gets out and Jason i wish you all the very best .
Somewhere around 10-min.. when he talks about books & depression.. I'm wondering why I'm watching morbid side of TH-cam while also on a low. 🤔 Why do we do that?
@@jolo3118 Ohhh I'm not the only one!!! Here's a big hug for you 🤗 it feels kinda lame tho.. but nothing much keeps my attention anymore. Few hours of this, some psychology. Real life is hard sometimes.. I guess we find escapes. Hug hug hug hug hug hug hug hug hug 🤗 ❤️
I know the Dr Phil show is a joke, but there were a bunch of episodes about women who falsely accuse people (mostly their dads) of SA & others fake whole pregnancies.
This man is a protector and that why she didn’t want to give that up. He says all he wants is to keep the people he lives alive and happy. She used rape claims because she clocked that he would step in to comfort, console and help fix her and her problems. If she told him she was sick and needed him to wipe her ass he would have because thats his nature. She is calculating and if she’s ever out she will continue to do this. I’m interested to see what she does in prison. Someone this manipulative and narcissistic., it should be interesting
@@phangirlable yes but the thing predators like this don’t ever think of is that they aren’t the biggest or baddest where they are going and MOST of the women there can smell that type of manipulation. She’s smart, but she isn’t the smartest and I want to watch her get eaten alive.
I feel sorry for Jason, it seems as if he really cared for her but she was so into herself and didn't care about him at all. Even after he found out about her he was still kind to her and encouraged her to move forward and do well. O hope Jason finds a nice, sincere girl who will appreciate him for what he is. A man with a heart of gold.💛
I feel so bad for the men in her life, she is scary and i hope the victims (families and people impacted ) can heal from all of this and live a peaceful life
Jason seems like a truly good, compassionate friend. He absolutely did not deserve someone like Ezra in his life.
A man that see's so many red flags and doesn't get away from her is not good or compassionate friend, he knew she supposingly said she was taken advantage of and then she goes with that same guy he must be nuts... sorry but after all he knew about her and still stayed, that's an enabler... if anyone lies to me, I'm gone...
I guess Jason liked her selfie.
A 33 year old man has no business dating an 18 year old girl. I don’t feel any empathy for him.
@@lorra222So a man that forgives and forgets faults of their partner is not a _good and compassionate friend?_ who are you to say he's a bad person? So a woman that ignores red flags because they love a man isn't compassionate? She's not a good person? He's a national guard medic, he's a good person in my eyes.

If you ever know a girl who falsely accuses someone of rape, run the other way as fast as possible. Someone who will ruin another person's life in order to avoid consequences for their own actions has serious mental issues. This woman is mental and deserves to spend the rest of her life locked away from polite society

I’ve had a crazy girlfriend like this once. She slept with all my friends while I would be away working….. she even told me two of them raped her to cover it up…. So many similarities it’s actually scary. In the situation you think you love that person and you want to believe them. I probably believed her for too long. I had two kids with her and when we finally parted ways she used them against me…. Turned my family against me and kept my kids from me….
Im not saying I’ve never done anything wrong in life but all I ever wanted was a family … wife and kids. and I ended up alone in another province homeless and addicted to drugs because I gave up on life….
That was all when I was 22-26. Now I’m 38 and am six years clean and a carpenters apprentice with a good girlfriend who I love very much and who loves me…. There is a lot to be thankful for now…Life is a crazy ride
I'm sorry. But to be fair. Your friends suck too for sleeping with her.
Congrats man, hope the best for you
I hope you ditched those friends who slept with her.
those weren't your friends dude lol. glad you turned shit around for yourself man
I have a friend that dated this kind of crazy. It was almost a good thing that it finally ended by her throwing a brick through his window, it was in full view of more than one witness and ring camera, she got locked up a little and a restraining order after the police ignoring his complaints for months. She wanted him to fight back because then he would go straight to jail, do not pass go, do not collect $200. These women know exactly how the system works.
This dude seems so transparent and honest. It sucks that part of his life was entangled in this vile woman’s web of lies.
Took the words out of my mouth 👍
I don’t think it was just her tho lol. That whole circle is pretty suspect, even the victim was dating her because he was a pedo that liked little boys 😳.
He was 33 she was 19… he fucked around and found out
He’s 33 and talks and acts like a 16 year old.
He just rambles too much. He is enjoying himself in the "spotlight" room.
I've watched a lot of content about this case. I think Jason thought she was fragile and he wanted to protect her, but she ended up being the most brutal person he knew. You just never know.
I’ve experienced that myself
No he definitely knew she was a nut. You can tell by how he’s speaking that he enjoyed judging her about it
He wanted to be a gross hero to look like a saviour but in reality she was a nut he could manipulate & lock down a *Teen* into marrying. Him. He was old enough to know better. Predator vibes.
Oh my GOSH!!! He is not the bad guy here! He is an empathetic person and always wants to help people. Also, he didn’t know she was bat sh!t crazy in the beginning, and when he finally figured it out he wanted to separate from her. The trouble is, that is very difficult for empathetic people… because they feel guilty if they don’t help. I’m not saying it’s right, but I am saying it’s true.
These girls hunt down guys like this
I really feel for Jason here. He was *played, used, and lied* to by all the most important people in his life.
He was 33, she was 19. He had to have expected (even invited) a spectacularly high level of drama and low level of reason.
He was damn close to being a pedo.
nonsense...he made his choices..this dude has serious issues of his own
Jason should have stayed in his own lane … she was too young for him
Jason’s greed & lust allowed him to be led down this pathway of unfortunate circumstances. He flew too close to the sun.
Always trust your instinct. Jason knew the day of the murder that something was very wrong and he was right.
@claymac7895, sorry but trusting instincts is terrible advice. It is better to think critically, fact check, and learn more about mental illness and personality disorders. Instincts are not reliable sources of truth.
@@JessBlake2both are good advice
Trusting instincts is great advice, you sound like the type of person who would fodder for anyone wishing to do you harm. Instincts are a life saver and allow you to make the bets decision in the moment. Not every situation allows you to study and fact check. That is something you can do as time passes
@@scottanonymous798, if by instincts, you mean trusting pure feelings to help you accurately evaluate situations and make sound decisions involving people, then sorry you're wrong. That's been studied extensively and people are terrible at judging deception, etc. The best route to accuracy is to gather objective evidence that takes into account that feelings can lead to wrong conclusions because of fallacious thinking. Feelings are worthwhile to investigate, but not to trust as truth. they just as easily can be wrong.
@JessBlake2 I wish that I would of listened to my Instincts about somethings but I told myself that I was being paranoid and turned out that I should of went with my gut feeling on this lying jerk, this was about cats (long story).
Some times you don't have time to accurately evaluate the situation and it's now or never and I wish I would of went with somethings not right here and this person seems shady, but your friends like, he's a good person, so you tell yourself that your just being crazy and then after it's done, you were right about the lying jerk and months later still left with no answers and no explanation of what happened, or were they are and this person lied straight to your face, I told my friend good people don't lie!!!! So he's not a good person!!! 😡💔😭😻😻😻😻😻😻
This dude was/is a true collector of broken souls. He definitely seems to have wanted to fix all of these people - to his own detriment. I hope he’s ok though, but also, that he has learned to keep his empathy safely locked away from those that want to take advantage.
Yeah I felt for him, I had a friend group spiral into drugs and unhealthy habits. It’s hard because often times it’s this huge grey area.
collector of broken souls aka a 33yo creep grooming teens with issues
Yep. Codependency will kill you. If you’re always collecting sick people and expecting that your care and understanding will fix them, then getting frustrated that they’re still sick……YOU are sick. Get help. Get healing.
I hope not lol

I love this guy.
The YT channel Dreading has recently done a captivating series on Ezra. This interview with Jason compliments it perfectly. Thank you Stranger Stories... it is very refreshing to hear Jasons side
I love dreading! Jason on the stand is wild
I am absolutely petrified! I know her! I’ve been sitting here doing research on her. It took me a while to figure out exactly how I know her. I meet her on a online dating site a LONGG time ago. Going on a couple dates. I never would of guessed in a million years she’d become a cold blooded murder. I wonder if she was still had a boyfriend and was cheating around that time? Fml!! I’m blessed nothing came of it
That’s horrifying
Intuition is a thing, but it can only do so much. Nobody can spot this kind of vile in one meeting IMO. An expert manipulator will always seem more nice first time around than any random socially awkward person. And maybe nothing came about it because of your intuition in the first place.
Where are you generally located? I'm curious bcz I know of Stanley. It's a tiny town. Kinda blows my mind something like this happened there.
U dodged an absolute missile
Bless you!! Heavens, that is terrifying!!
Ive been fascinated by this case since it happened. Most coverage doesn't give much info - so stoked you put this interview up !
I honestly feel bad for Woodworth. He was dragged, fed mixed signals and murdered by a woman that was manipulative/evil.
From what Jason is saying, seems Woodworth was a prick to her. I get the impression he tricked her into anal sex. Or forced her into it. N she was only 20 years old. Just had an abortion. Had a non-relationship w her mom. I'm surprised how cruelly everyone - including this channel narration - is viewing her. But then again, as a woman, I know that's how the world is. Everything everywhere is all our fault. Unless we act like demure, vulnerable lil babies we're all somehow the wicked witches of the west.
yea his alex woodworths journals describe how he thinks cheating and being with a taken person is wrong but ezra told him (ie lied) time and time again that jason is very abusive and emotionally checked out and she needed someone to lean on and depend on to get out of a bad relationship and that ezra felt like the love of his life. so i do fully understand how a decent person would want to step up and make an exception for the sake of an alleged victims cry for help especially someone that he felt true love for. i think alex was probably a wonderful guy. jason seems like a good guy too. big hearts like these are often chosen prey for predators like ezra
Everyone does
That girl was scary and I'm always afraid my son will end up on one of these shows because his last ex was like this. She told us she was kidnapped, held in an attic where she was tied to a chair and injected with meth...then set free to clean. Naturally, I'm like, "Son, something about this story seems really SUS." and he'd get mad at me. Well, it all came full-circle when a story got back to him that I kidnapped her, forced her to stay in a traphouse with me while I sold both drugs and my friends. Mind you, I took that heathen on vacation with us to TN while my son was out of town working and I was trying to be nice. We were in a huge cabin with a hottub and a view with bears and shit, man. Anyway, I was left doubting his ability to make good choices in partners after that. With all that said.... I think I'm gonna sound (even more) weird but I'm picky about the voice and tone of my true crime content giver. This is the first account to get me to actually do my very first Patreon subscription. Now I gotta figure out how it works cause I'm old and do the pot.
Wow!! What a story! That's a tough spot to be in as a Mom. Knowing but not being able to "fix it" cause it's your sons life. But on a lighter note.... I too have to like the voice of the person or I'm out. It's truly about the voice. I don't care if it's a super duper well-put-together video that's 3 hrs long.... If I can't stand to listen to them, I'm out. Surprisingly, I do this with the men I've dated too. It's part of the attraction process I guess.
why doubt his ability to choose partners ? a good person would normally hear a traumatic story and believe them because most people don't lie and doubting it can come across as rude. it's not his fault his ex was a weird liar. manipulation is real.
"Now I gotta figure out how it works cause I'm old and do the pot."
😂hahahahahah Thanks for bringing in the levity!
You like this ai voice? I guess it’s better than some. The way the tones change in odd ways still gets to me but they are way better than the ones five plus years ago. Those ones grated liked nails on chalkboard. Like the TikTok voice.
You're lucky she didn't have a kid. I kinda love it that you called her a heathen.
Every time someone does something wrong, its always "childhood trauma." How about we take responsibility for OUR actions and decisions as an ADULT.
Some people never recover mentally from childhood trauma , that is a fact , Love and understanding can heal a heart and mind , some never find that , but all do not become murderers , some have issues into adulthood , it's really sad , but some murderers had a loving home , no excuse for either
@@violethalsey2876 but regardless, it's our responsibility to control ourselves and not push that trauma onto others. It sucks but we've all been through something. Just really hate to see excuses be made for terrible things like this.
@@brettneygibbs9047 In principle, I would agree, but trauma can prevent people from taking that responsibility. It can even prevent them from seeing and recognizing that responsibility at all. They get lost in their personal narrative, and their perception becomes horribly warped. This then informs their actions. That is why a good, responsive and affordable healthcare system is very important. People like this need help asap.
Yeah, come to Canada where health care is 'free' Now because it's not affordable, the government is pushing assisted suicide.

This three hour video was posted six hours ago, and yet you commented five hours ago. How's that possible?
I was always skeptical of Jason's character until watching this video. Generally, well-adjusted adults in their thirties don't start relationships with teenagers. Now I see him as a little immature and naive, but also a sensitive and forgiving man.
Well yes mean he isn't sensitive but controlling and manipulative and the easiest people to try to control are those you don't think are mentally stable. To bad he met someone just as manipulate as him. You can still be a horrible human and not be a murderer.
30 year old men are not well adjusted or mature. 😂😂

33 and 19? We’re already off to a bad start
She lied about her age
Isn’t her mom and him the same age since her mom had her at 14?
@donovan no she didn’t…he said in his testimony he didn’t ask and assumed she was older. He didn’t find out by chance until weeks later. It’s the one thing she didn’t lie about lol
This guy acts like he's squeaky clean. He's 33 going out with a girl who is 19,that has the maturity of a 14 year old. She screws three different guys in 9 months. and has an abortion in that time period.....What did he expect? He knew she was f upped, irresponsible, and real real needy to begin with. He's not responsible for what Ezra did, but he's no gem. His lack of discretion, and the age difference and Ezra's obvious mental illness would drive someone normal away.
It's not a great situation but this man does not give me groomer vibes.
So, the girlfriend makes the mistake of cheating, and then thinks she can rectify the mistake, by making an even BIGGER mistake and killing the guy she was cheating on her husband with? What kind of logic goes through these people's minds??
"I'm the main character."
You should look up the case of a woman getting revenge on her cheating husband by pretending to be the mistress and “stalking” him for 2 years. Should would wipe diapers on his car, send threats via mail & email while sitting next to him on the couch. Finally he got the police involved and they said “omg the call is coming from inside the house”.

I have one thing to share with the anonymous world here. I did lie about it once. I lied to this one guy that such a thing had happened to me in my past and the reason why I did say that to him was manipulation. BUT my reason for doing that was I was feeling uneasy, not so perfectly safe (it was a date, first time alone together) , so, I played a role a little bit. I wanted to give him a nice reason I'm not feeling it. That was my way out. I had a feeling about him that it would turn him off. And it did. Mission accomplished. Am I bad for that? I never talked to him again after. Tell me if I'm wrong but I believe I didn't do something terrible doing it to turn him off. Tell me.
@@Kookabrahit's easy to speak the truth in this world. If you needed to let someone down, you don't have to worry about "fEeLiNg bAd".

Thankfully I became more independent and lack fear of speaking my mind and heart.... Be safe though. You need to protect yourself and I guess I'll contradict myself... Lie if you have to because not alot of people can understand what the truth holds. As a guy myself, I always make myself as defenseless as possible when speaking to women because I don't ever wanna be feared. I just wanna be loved by anyone regardless... but it's not at the forefront of my mind so I can deflect narcissists and evil people who use my desire for love. 😂
As a survivor of ACTUAL SA & DV, I couldn't agree more! They ruin not only ruin a guy's life, but they also make things tougher for people who have truly been ab*sed and people believing us. I think this needs to be looked into more, and prison time SHOULD be sought (along with restitution). That's the ONLY 2 ways they will learn.
Heck, I haven't even thought about some kind of a registry for liars of abuse! Maybe that's too far, but to lie about abuse is freaking disgusting!
definitely
@@Kookabrah Yes its pretty bad, but its also not a false accusation. Saying you've been assaulted when you haven't is pretty bad but its not ruining someones life to avoid consequences.
Jason seems exactly the kind of friend I'd love to keep. He reminds me so much of myself. Maybe it's just where I live, but it is so hard to find anyone even half as decent and kind as him. I hope he's doing well these days.
If they didn’t realize she did it, they def would’ve blamed him

We've both experience it. And it can literally break someone into sticking around or thinking they can't do better. 😞
@@brittx803x2 I've also been abused by my ex. In hindsight, it's so weird how I would put up with her slapping me in public so hard her nails would mark my face, or how I would listen to her trash talk me like it normal.

Or how she would demand sexual attention from me and berate me if I didn't give it to her immediately.
I guess it makes sense because I was abused by my foster parents, but it all just seems so dumb of me when I look back on it.

He really dodged the bullet there He wasn’t that silly cause he stopped sleeping with her because of his suspicions and he was right about her promiscuous behaviour. Hope he’s in a better place now and found someone who appreciates him for the kind lovely man he is
Prison life is not good for your health. If she serves her entire time, at nearly 70, she will probably not be in good shape.

Sure, he is innocent, and we know this, but you have the right to have legal counsel with you whenever speaking with law enforcement.

Well that’s what happens when you date a mentally ill teen at 33 and hangout with her also mentally I’ll friends
Not always the murder part but there’s no way you decide to date a 19 year old and expect it to turn out well

Wow what some guys will put up with - red flags from day 1. Poor guy, hope he finds happiness with someone who loves him as much as he loves her.
I mean, woman put up with the same crap regularly.
It all comes down to your character. When you score high in trait agreeableness, and you have confidence issues, narcissists will seek you out and eat you alive. (woman usually score higher in agreeableness by a pretty large margin)
These people are so vulnerable, and narcissists can manipulate and abuse them just how they like to.
With men it's often physical abuse, with woman it's usually emotional abuse.
@@carlpanzram7081 Yes I totally agree, he’s a sweetheart but needs to work on his self confidence (I mean that in the nicest way towards him too)
So many men feel a bizarre need to rescue women who actually need to rescue themselves. Unless you are a psychiatrist or similar, stay away from people who present as pathetic, broken victims. I think that both peoples unhealthy needs are at work in relationships like this. Find a more real way to be a hero. Acknowledge your own twists and work on them, instead of believing that you must rescue and fix another person.
At 33 years of age he should not be involved with a 19yr olds drama let alone date. Some people love to play the Hero role and Ezra was the perfect victim that needed saving.
Hearing him talk about HAVING to break up a domestic violence situation is 🤦🏻♀️

RIP Alex. Also this guy has such a big heart. I hope he finds someone that recognizes it, and appreciates him and doesn't use him. ❤
Y'all should put a time stamp for the part where he finds out she killed someone because... GOODNESS GRACIOUS this is long 😂
The title is clickbait. He already knew she killed someone before this interview because she had already been charged and was in jail. This is a follow up interview for him as as he’s a witness that has to testify at her trial.
Yep, complete waste of time. Click bait at its finest 😠
This guy seems like such a wholesome, good guy.
Are you having a brain aneurysm?
This chick was a walking red flag
She probably was a real wildcat in the sack, tho.Some guys get lost in the lust zone and become blind to the red flags.
Bro was 33…. Married a literal *TEEN* he’s quite the red flag himself 🚩
Thanks Stranger Stories for your awesome channel!!!❤❤❤
Just the fact that she can get out of jail is a slap in the face to the person who lost their life.
Idk...she was only 22 when sentenced...she'll spend her 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s into her 70s in prison, and there's no guarantee she gets out in her 70s. But on another level, the fact she's alive is unfair. Wisconsin should reinstate the death penalty. I mean even Dahmer was merely sentenced to life, when he should've certainly been executed (but we all know Scarver took care of that)
this my fav channel to chill out too
A 3 hour stranger story! I'm so ready for this
Love this channel. One of the best and most informative true crime TH-cam channels I've come across.
I know it’s not supposed to be funny, but I laughed when he was so sure she had Mono, but she was pregnant. Love that they are so similar. 😂
I know lol. Shows how bad it can be
He seems like such a great guy. Literally salt of the earth person
If you look past him being 33 and her being 19 and we don't know when they started hooking up but yeah, awesome guy. Lol
@@zacharymarkham5232
What's wrong with that?
She was over 18, so she is a adult capable of deciding who to have a relationship with. Not to Mention that he was not out to use her, while she was litteraly a manipulative, murdering, lying and cheating sociopath.
This case should really show you how wrong your notion of an age gap and it's Implications can be.
The 33 year old here is one of the VICTIMS of the 19 year old.
@@carlpanzram7081 yep, this is just a low intelligence dolt over the moon he has a decent looking chick(in his mind).
How would you know? This three hour video was posted six hours ago, and your comment was made five hours ago.
@sandgrownun66 I've known about this case for quite awhile.
I'm speechless and feel sorry for Jason who seems like a good guy. Just awful.
These cops are floored at how naive this man was
Jason seens so nice, steady and goodlooking too, i hope he ends up with someone really kind and compassionate who really appreciates him.
Ezra doesn't understand herself, her own Identity.
She's searching for ways to satisfy her needs, but using random methods and has accepted no good model that guides her.
She's lost in preoccupation with herself.
She's not thinking about the needs, expectations and rights of others.
So far shows no understanding that other beings deserve to get equal consideration and as such has successfuly selected herself out of the gene pool.
It would be interesting to know about her parents any siblings? Her relationship with family members.
What her upbringing was like.
All that information would help to build a better picture of the circumstances that are more likely to result in tragedy.
With a genetic predisposition and an absence of wise parenting, such end results become more probable.
One time someone called me from a bathroom and told me my phone number was written on the wall and asked me if I wanted them to scribble it out, I said yes thank you and we had a great laugh 😂
These detectives pretending to take notes is hilarious. They put a dot then look up. Then puts 2 more dots then look up again😄
Seems like he wouldn’t realize it if she did it no matter what.
Dude is so naive it’s mind blowing. Psychopath’s usually target people just like him.
Post-Partum Depression from an *Abortion* ?!!! What will they think of next?
That part had me laughing too 😂 I’ve had one before and you just have a normal period after. The hormone levels aren’t high enough at that point to have postnatal depression. She’s just manipulative clearly lol
@@Chloe__________xx I mean you can be traumatized or get depression after an abortion for sure but that would be because she decided to have this extreme procedure done and couldn't deal with her decision, not because of the trauma giving birth can cause or the hormonal chaos after it.
It can’t be post until after the baby is born. Everything else is prenatal 😂
Its a really thing
I'm not even 10 minutes in and the phrase "she a young girl and should not be reading heavy topics" like dude if you think she too young for topic then she too young to be in a relationship with you.
Thank you! He is a Peter File.
@@AidaShawJ.D. legally he isn't an we should not water that word down for probably every other case in the true crime sphere. But I'm not saying he isn't a manipulate man child who think he can control female, two plsyers met and he met his match in some equally as manipulative. I will only feel bad for the family of everyone in this case they didn't deserve any of this.
@@AidaShawJ.D. I guess you don't know what a pedophile is.
@@liebenamor So, you think he's manipulative solely because he was in a relationship with an unusual age gap?
@@sadem1045 if that's what you take away from that I really can't help you. And I don't know if you are defensive over your own situation not the one you're should be upset with but your own lack of introspective.
Ezra is the definition of a psychotic, manipulative "crazy girlfriend." He was abused and he didnt know it was happening. He wasnt blind at least. Tbf I was raped at 18 and also didnt report it. My small town wouldnt prosecute this person and I knew it so I didnt try. I didnt want to go through a trial either in this situation. I live in a very small town. If I reported everyone would know and it would be problems for my family too. Its not right but it was the emotionally and physically safest choice for me then. That person has now been on the run for years due to an incident of.severe violence.....they turned out to be a sociopath or psychopath. They would have hurt me then.
I’m so sorry you went through that and couldn’t seek justice, either. I hope you’ve come to some peace over it, and glad you made it out alive from that sorry excuse for a man.
I'm sorry you had to go through this. I didn't realize how many women are actually raped and never report this crime.
Lying about SA to avoid consequences of poor life choices is very common.
Good video but does it really need to be longer than Gone With The Wind?
He was surrounded by sociopaths and they were all just fucking with him because he was the only one who had any heart.
This should be a movie, from his perspective. It's like a thriller how it starts unfolding and falling apart.
I remember this case...I think this killer got 50 years and well deserved; she thought her youth and innocent look would get her off...It didnt..Tku Jury
When this interrogation was done.....was she already charged and convicted? Or was the guy she killed, only just found? And they were trying to gather evidence/information to get a case together? Maybe its already been said why hes being questioned etc but I've missed it. I'm half way through, but just not getting where they are in the case, so to speak.
OK, I've gathered she's locked up already, but still unsure why he's being questioned? Unless she's not convicted yet and they're getting a case ready to go against her in court?
I think they pieced it together already but had to get more info before conviction
@@Chloe__________xxTX
He’s been called as a witness for the trial and this is a follow up interview. McCandless has been charged and is in jail awaiting her trial.
They are eliminating Jason as an accomplice while also comparing timelines to get more facts to convict her with. Jason ends up being a witness for the prosecution.
This guy is just naturaly nice person need more like him be safe 😊👍💪🙏👀💯
This poor guy having to sit there and break his head about his relationship and dealings with this girl, someone he's trying to forget. That's tough, man. This makes me glad I'm single because dealing with people and their problems are just the worst.
A womans Kryptonite is accountability to deflect blame Gaslight but will not not take accountability
I am 62 and never, ever cheated! I have too much Self- Respect!
Breaks are great! Doing what you love and letting your loved one go do what they love to do because it makes them happy, is true love!
I like how the national guard dude answers questions with “roger that” and “negative” as if yes and no aren’t easier answers, just like the national guard. 🤷🏻♂️😂
I'm trying to figure out why he had scrubs on hand to give to Ezra.? Was he a medic in the NG?
@@sidstovell2177 Yes, he is
You dont know how much of a anxiety relief it is as a viewer to not have to watch a liar continually dig a hole. As much as I sympathize; if the bad guy isnt completely bat shit crazy, id rather watch the innocent.
The blue jean 50:56 vest tells me this guy has made poor choices before…
She was playing with the wrong “ right “ guy! He took notes on everything 🤣. Her killing is documented by time with the one she wants 🤣
Open, clear and upstanding guy. What a refreshing interview. So different than the usual suspect! Well done 👍
Love your channel, but I wish you'd add subtitles. Not only is it a nice thing to do for people who are hard of hearing or deaf, but the sound in interrogation rooms is awful. I'm five minutes in and I haven't understood a word they've said.
Turn on closed captions it’s the little box with CC above the play/pause bar
TH-cam has automated CCs! Do you realize how long it would take for them to manually sub the 2 -3 hours or longer videos?
I had to use CC.
@@phangirlable I actually am well aware of exactly how long it would take because I worked for 2 years as someone who wrote closed captions. They have 600K subs, they can hire someone to do it. A video of this length would cost about $100-$200 and making your videos more accessible means more views and more money, so that $100-$200 would be covered in day.
I am very well aware that TH-cam has automated closed captioning. If a human with normal hearing has a problem understanding something, how well do you think a computer is going to do? Automated CC on difficult to hear videos is usually comical. A lot of times, it will just say "music" when it can't figure out what they're saying.
@@phangirlable I guess it wasn't that big of a deal because they now caption every video.
My heart goes out to this man. This is awful. I have had to try and make Sense of stories from a liar and it will drive you nuts.
yes and what 'll really blow your mind is when you figure out A LOT of their lies were told to you for ansolutely NO reason other than to keep you so dissoriented & so unable to know what was true and what was not all around you. My late ex huvvy I discovered so many big whopper les later after he was gone and there was no reason for tem, not to manipulate me into doing anything, or to keep me from knowing something....just NO reason at all. SCARY how crazy these types are and theamount of damage they 'll do to your relationships with everyone you care about by just dropping lies all the time, to you AND to everyone in your life.
Wow!
Thanks for sharing this story!
I would love to watch the Trial.
So she's a sociopath and he's, at best, is naive af...at 33 years old.
All too often we hear of this tale of everybody could see the partner that their friend chooses is awful but the one with rose-colored glasses are steadily making it to where she still able to be around no warning signs are red flags are being paid attention to. Hopefully he hasn't lost his ability to love but has grown a backbone and a little bit of discernment when it comes to other's now because he did repeat that he just trust people and even though wonderful traits he carries are very much needed among Us you shouldn't have to suffer to love someone nor you shouldn't have to make excuses or second-guess yourself so let's just hope this man's backbone has formed throughout this trauma that he had to go through.
omg! its the "thanks for the gold, kind stranger! i didn't expect this post to blow up" person from reddit! i love your work.
That guy has GOT to get into therapy and address his low self esteem and codependent nature. I mean...Come ON. Nothing about what he tolerated made any sense. He is going to continue to be a target for malignant narcissists until he addresses what's going on with him.
Right.
This girl was fucking the whole town. Poor dude.
Right, because being wholesome and kind-hearted is a mental health issue. Everyone should be a paranoid schizo who buys more guns than their neighbors because they have more guns. How about those malignant narcissists you mentioned go into therapy instead? Leave that guy alone.
Exactly
Married a literal *TEEN* start there…
@@Chloe__________xx she was his girlfriend
So sorry you went through all this Jason .You never know people very scary .she was very sick I hope she never gets out and Jason i wish you all the very best .
Somewhere around 10-min.. when he talks about books & depression.. I'm wondering why I'm watching morbid side of TH-cam while also on a low. 🤔 Why do we do that?
Because misery does indeed love company. I'm right there with you. Hope it gets better for you. It always does, no matter how temporarily.
@@jolo3118
Ohhh I'm not the only one!!! Here's a big hug for you 🤗 it feels kinda lame tho.. but nothing much keeps my attention anymore. Few hours of this, some psychology. Real life is hard sometimes.. I guess we find escapes. Hug hug hug hug hug hug hug hug hug 🤗 ❤️
Amen🙏
@@jolo3118No it doesn't
I know the Dr Phil show is a joke, but there were a bunch of episodes about women who falsely accuse people (mostly their dads) of SA & others fake whole pregnancies.
You're right about Phil.
I’m shocked that anyone would really be that interested in her.
This man is a protector and that why she didn’t want to give that up. He says all he wants is to keep the people he lives alive and happy.
She used rape claims because she clocked that he would step in to comfort, console and help fix her and her problems. If she told him she was sick and needed him to wipe her ass he would have because thats his nature. She is calculating and if she’s ever out she will continue to do this.
I’m interested to see what she does in prison. Someone this manipulative and narcissistic., it should be interesting
She will get herself an empath protector girlfriend within a couple of weeks and will play and manipulate her like a fiddle, guaranteed.
@@phangirlable yes but the thing predators like this don’t ever think of is that they aren’t the biggest or baddest where they are going and MOST of the women there can smell that type of manipulation. She’s smart, but she isn’t the smartest and I want to watch her get eaten alive.
In what world does killing the man you cheated on your bf with make your bf want to get back together with you?
How many times can the word Like be used in a conversation 😂😂😂
I hear it from UK channels, too.👿
I feel sorry for Jason, it seems as if he really cared for her but she was so into herself and didn't care about him at all. Even after he found out about her he was still kind to her and encouraged her to move forward and do well. O hope Jason finds a nice, sincere girl who will appreciate him for what he is. A man with a heart of gold.💛
I feel so bad for the men in her life, she is scary and i hope the victims (families and people impacted ) can heal from all of this and live a peaceful life
Bless his heart. He was lost with a map in his hands… I hope he heals finds peace and a woman that truly loves him.
2:06 it’s so weird when they look directly into the camera.
just echoing the general sentiment of most commenters that this guy is such a sweetheart
