Mr. Ballen and the Beesley's as well: I just discovered both your channels around the same time just a couple months ago so it's strange to see your channels crossing paths like this! Love it! Keep the great content coming!
We in the US love our Mr. Ballen. He's an amazing storyteller and a great guy. He nearly died in Afghanistan while serving in the Navy SEALS, one of the most elite and covert spec ops units in the US military. So glad that you enjoy him just as much as we do.
I make my daughters add our secret code word at the end of texts, if they are out late with friends, on a date etc. That way I can be sure it's actually my daughter
He didn't cover the strange upbringing that Keyes had. Keyes's parents were religious fanatics who didn't believe in the govt. and he was born without a birth certificate, home schooled (so no school records), no social security number, etc. He joined the army and that is the only record of his life until he was arrested. He was a phantom who worked odd jobs off the books. If he hadn't been sloppy and killed in his own town he might have killed for years without anybody knowing he existed. This is one scary dude.
'Home schooled'. Some of these people are almost invisible in society. Regular stories about those who get no education whatsoever. Mentally stunted or warped by their surroundings. How many have no chance?
I have lived in Anchorage for over 30 years. This one still bothers me. We have little coffee shops like this one all over town. This incident caused some to close and others to make major changes.
I was in Anchorage as well. Flyers were all over the place. I was about a mile down the road at the time of the abduction. I took a photo of how bad the snow storm was.
Ryan!!!! What's up?! I haven't lived in Anchorage for several years (that's what happens when you marry into the military...) However... I now live in Colorado and remember hearing about this guy and when they caught him... Crazy stuff. My daughter got me hooked on Mr. Ballen... Great storyteller... ~ Olivia (Fickey) Russell
Never let someone take you to a second site. It's always at this second site they do the most harm. If they try to make you leave with them, fight hard, make a lot of noise and try to run. They may try to kill you there, but they absolutely will kill you at the second site
Never let anyone tie your hands, never let anyone blindfold you, and never let anyone take you to a secondary location. It almost always leads to a massive increase of force and likelihood of violence, and greatly diminishes your ability to resist.
@@SonOfMuta Why did u ask? He has enough juice in his coin purse to not only join the military but then went to BUDS, graduated and deployed to fight the enemy. Good enough for me.
@@SonOfMuta Yes, if you don't think so maybe become educated about what the seals do and how dangerous their job is and how much they sacrifice for us and our safety.
Don’t worry Millie, I’m the same way. Even when I know my husband has locked the door and set the alarm I still have to ask him if he’s done it before we go to bed (we’re women, it matters).
I have to always double check and triple check because my fiance is away for 3 weeks at a time and back for a week. I am the same exact way. Sometimes I have to sleep with the lights on and make both my kitties snuggle with me.
@@ElvisRose_ Exactly. In a couple of vids now, Beesley has annoyed me with, imo, clueless comments about the fact that HE would do something while implying Millie wouldn't because she's basically a scaredycat. Umm, there's a reason, B. Girls learn far too young that there are way too many predators targeting particularly them. Sarah Everard's murder, just for one example, must not have made much of an impression on him. My wish is that the good guys in the world would stop being oblivious about the realities of women's existence in the world.
@@DoggieFosters I’m a teenage boy and my mother has always been scared for me and my brother. She’s even told me that as a male if something happened to me most people don’t think young men are “targets” when that’s not true in the slightest. I heard a story awhile ago about a man and his wife going to an African country where he was taken and they r@ped him and others men at least three times a day and how many wives LEAVE there husbands after some of these events. My mom has alway told me and my brother about walking alone, having keys ready to defend yourself, never trust a stranger (whether their male or female) and that you should do whatever you need to do to survive. I HATE when people make it seem that women are more likely to be victims when there are literally hundreds of cases of men not coming forward because they are scared no one would believe them.
But men are victims of male violence in particular ways. Women are prey for for male violence in others. Men commit 98% of sexual assaults and 80% of their victims are women. Most of the rest are minor children. You sound like a budding MRA. I'd work on that before it gets out of hand. (And if I had a kid in trouble, as is universally understood, going to a woman for help would be the way to go. Your mama has left you with....not being able to turn to anyone. I imagine she has been through some rough stuff to pass on such lessons. Without divulging stories that are not my own, I marvel at my parents' ability to raise me to be careful while not stripping me of my sense of safety in the world. It was one of the most astonishing feats of patenting I've ever seen.) Go well.
The whole time I was thinking "wait till they hear the most bone chilling detail of it all", I felt sick after realizing what was in the photo. I don't recommend googling it, seriously. It will haunt you.
Mr.Ballen is a formal Navy SEAL and a GREAT storyteller. He does stories about all kinds of subjects. My favorite is the Horror and his Strange Disappearances or his Missing 411 series that he takes out of the book series.
Did you watch his video from this past Sunday? Those three stories were absolutely horrifying. I just found him like a month ago and I've been binge watching ever since.
@@alicesmith7020 I watched it, such crazy stories. His "places you shouldn't go" series is my favorite. I can't believe he's only been releasing videos for about 2 years.
One man can single-handedly tell a frightening but compelling story about the strange, dark and mysterious, while rocking the flannel like a champ. That man, is Mr. Ballen.
Always try to escape. Plus never ever let someone take you away. Always fight even if they shoot you. Also kill your intruder so they never can come after you.
Speaks like someone who hasn't dealt with one of these situations first hand. Good luck "trying to do something" when there's a gun pointed at you 7 feet away with a counter between you. If we're working with hypotheticals you could just kill your would-be intruders parents before they ever conceive him, to put a halt to the robbery before the little bastard ever has the idea.
I was a manager at a store and was robbed at gunpoint. The store is kind of out in the middle of nowhere and the 2 suspects took their time. Most terrifying 10 minutes of my life. I’m so thankful, nothing else happened. I quit the job and now I work from home.
😭 Very very few people get out alive in a Mr. Ballen story. I binge watched all of his videos and was afraid to leave my house for a few days 😆. Idk why I like this stuff but I do. I even bought a Mr. Ballen t- shirt. And just today listened to his new pod cast. He's such an amazing story teller😍
Many people in Alaska carry firearms for protection. 21 years and up. The sad reality as a 18 year old she wasnt permitted to have one. If she had, this would have been a different story. But someone her age can join military. This should have changed legislation in Alaska to under 18 with specialized training. Alaska especially where most people may carry a kodiak bear stopper.
Still don’t see any where in the constitution that puts an age limit on 2A rights. Lift all gun laws because all of them are unconstitutional. Not to mention in Alaska you have a rather large bear that may just see you as dinner. I may not agree with the Swiss on mandatory military rules for men but after their service in the Swiss military you have the option to keep you service arms. I do believe you still have to purchase it but it is an option. I personally would like to see here in America where if you serve in the military, you keep you service arms free of charge including actual assault rifles like the m16a2. It would be a much better way to spend tax payer money, unlike funding free crack pipes. I always laugh when a leftist calls an AR15 an assault rifle. The left in this country are complete morons when it comes to guns.
My fav mr ballen's is exactly what someone else wrote. I love his "3 places you cant go (or shouldnt) and the people that went there anyway". Interesting little places he finds. And some of it even educates.
Not all of the videos are like this one, he does different types of series like Missing 411, Places you can’t go and People Who Went Anyway, Pictures With Disturbing Backstories, etc. but they’re all really interesting!
Mr. B is the G.O.A.T. Of storytelling. He has the ability to calmly tell a story n draw you in. 20-30 minutes seems to rocket by. I'm A huge fan of the STRANGE, DARK N MYSTERIOUS. Ever ask yourself why the upside down trees in the beginning? N why does he hate on the like button?!!! Great react here.
I must say.. I've been watching ballen for over a year and have heard many of his stories. he tells a story as honest and true through real evidence and research and puts his work in lol.. but not all of his videos are about true crime 💁♂️ he's very ambidextrous... aliens, myths.. legends... he tells the story of people who have experienced things that baffle everyone.. yet remain still .. only the facts that are known and well the rest up to you lol but some of his stories peice things together that baffled me qnd even changed My perspective towards "myths/mysteries" like say.. bigfoot?.. I would suggest his (missing 411) series... lots along the realm of aliens and how Bigfoot is more than we think ... historical and military.. even they will freak you out lol.. disappearances.... but most important of them all is the (missing 411) cases he has a Playlist for it but I just thought I wpuld say something since I've been watching him a while those are the ones that will fascinate not give nightmares lol...
This was so tragic and heartbreaking...I saw surveillance video of her being held up in the store she worked at and being taken away.....and that haunting horrific ransom selfie of her...it is traumatizing. My heart aches for her parents, knowing there is photos of her dead floating around. But seeing her alive in the Store, serving him and having her hands held up and taken away was so heart breaking for me...this world makes me so angry.
12:09 To correct Millie as an Anchorage resident. It wouldn't have been the middle of no where. These coffee shops are in parking lots of strip malls and such.
I trained my kids to never let them take you to a "secondary place". Even if they point a gun at you, better they shoot you there. Maybe someone will find you and call an ambulance. Don't end up somewhere remote with no help. Fight like hell to not be taken to a "secondary place"!
I did the same thing with my niece. I told her not to ever let anybody take her some place else even if they have a gun.....if you go with them your chance for survival is next to none and they will probably do more than shoot you. Just stand your ground, you have better odds of them being thrown off by your defiance and willing to fight them and hopefully panic and take off. If they shot you there then there is a good chance that they will be caught and someone around to get you medical aid. I find it so so sad that we have to tell kids these things. When I was a kid we didn't even lock our front door. It is a shame.
@@paisliesplace3921 The NEWS greatly exacerbates the amount of information related to crime you are exposed to. Statistically things were more dangerous "back in the day" - you just didn't hear about every crime around the world.
Crazy the first time I watch MrBallenz videos, They got me hooked right away! Then he showed a video about brother soldiers not giving up no matter what and the cost to save there own! Only too revel it was him the hole time, Which makes him very humble and proud to call him and his fellow brothers true Patriots!!
Had already seen this MrBallen video, but am slamming through to see Millie’s response…love you guys!! At least you get credit for the view - I wouldn’t take that away. ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️
This is a rough one but this is reality. My friends body after 10 years missing was just found yesterday outside my home town in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Even though stories like this are morbid it gives families some comfort knowing where their loved ones remains lay. My fiancé is a manager at a pharmacy and I stay watching the perimeter well before they close the doors because you just never know.
The scariest thing about looking at the photo is she genuinely looks alive … all things considered the picture looks like any other ransom picture taken with the victim but when you know the story of what happened to that girl it makes you feel sick looking at it
Law Abiding Citizen is an awesome movie. He was so right when it comes to the laws being wrong and ridiculously easy on people who most likely were guilty even though the laws are, you are innocent until proven guilty, they still should have to be careful in case they are guilty. Too many people get off on technicalities and go free when they are guilty. Love that movie.
Millie I'm really good at telling if people are faking about anything and I can say without a doubt that YOU DON'T FAKE ABOUT ANYTHING!!!!! You rock.. a little side note a girl from my hometown went missing and was never found. That's been over 25 years now....
I have always heard to not allow anyone to take you from the meeting site. Once they remove you they have more control over the situation. I much rather scream, hit, try to run than be placed in a vehicle. The odds are you won’t be released anyway. Even if killed they have more chances of making mistakes like in DNA left behind or other factors and caught. Do everything to not be moved. How true this is I don’t know and pray none of us find personally find out. Now I have goosebumps. In lighter news, I love your channel. Thanks for sharing!!
MrBallen has some of the best content on TH-cam for sure. Personally I love his series “3 places you can’t go and people went anyways”. Love your channel too keep it up.
He is a great story teller. He does stories of haunting weird accidents crime mystery. People who just disappear. He makes them very interesting. I would recommend covers.
Never get in the car. Push panic button, throw coffee in his face or run to back of store. Plus she should have been armed and never let them take you anywhere. They have to shoot you. Once taken away you are in worst position.
I've seen too many stories like this. If anyone ever tried to take me they'd have to kill me. No way I'd go anywhere willingly. So sad and tragic. If you want scared, watch his video "this box will kill you," "palmyra wolves," "teen haunted by something in the woods" videos. Kept me up all night. Watched them after midnight in pitch black. 😬
Beesley, this guy, and his stories, aren't fake, but he does stretch the truth like a giant rubber band. I've told Thurston about him, but he still reacts to the videos.
Great Video as always! You two should reacts to "The Search For D.B. Cooper" and "The Vanishing Of Flight 370" by LEMMiNO. I think you'd both really enjoy them! Keep up the great reactions!
While earning my BS in forensics, I asked one of my Pros. (who helped catch Gary Ridgeway, the Green River Killer) how she deals with all the darkness -- she said that she has her husband to ground her. Asked same question of an FBI agent after a presentation he gave, said pretty much the same thing, he has his dog to keep him grounded.
Mr. Ballen does a wide variety of topic's. What interesting about Mr. Ballen is he's an ex Navy Seal , who narration skills are unbelievably good. I mean you hear about Seals being able to over come any situation. And for him to narrate so well and be so entertaining is impressive. I mean your left scratching your head and thinking " What the heck did he go to the Morgan Freeman narration school" or what?
Yes!!!! I love Mr. Ballen's videos. The guy is such a brilliant story teller. Some of his videos are really long, but I swear the time flies by because you're so engaged in the story and wondering what happens next. I particularly love his Top 3 Stories that Sound Fake but Are 100% Real videos.
Don’t worry about some random hater who say that ur reaction is fake, there will alway be that one type of person. They prob say that to every reactor. It normal to get these type of comment on a reacting channel. You guys are amazing and awesome to watch. Don’t listen to them
I live in New Hampshire which is next to Vermont. I remember when this elderly couple disappeared from Vermont. Years later we found out that the couple were two of Keyes’ victims. It was mental.
I'm with her on never working a dangerous shift by myself. The closest I'd ever gotten was back when I worked elections I was the first one to report to my shift at 4 am on an Election Day. I was literally the first person in the building and I had my human mace in one hand and my bear mace in the other hand when I got out of the car, unlocked the door to the building, and relocked it again until the rest of the staff showed up.
Mr. Ballen tells a story like no one else. He makes it exciting and very understandable. He is an amazing story teller. He is a little scary, but he sure can tell a story. I love him. ❤️🌹❤️ I am sure you two will enjoy Mr. Ballen. I enjoy you too.
Her picture was extremely sad looking it was her looking like she was still alive when she'd been dead for a few days. That pictured almost made me cry.
Appreciate you both reacting to this! Also thank you to everyone speaking so highly of me in the comments. Very nice thank you!
Mr. Ballen and the Beesley's as well: I just discovered both your channels around the same time just a couple months ago so it's strange to see your channels crossing paths like this! Love it! Keep the great content coming!
Love your story-telling format. Reminds me of creepy campfire stories.
You're a natural born storyteller Mr, cudos!
You the man
Hell yes! That was so well done.
We in the US love our Mr. Ballen. He's an amazing storyteller and a great guy. He nearly died in Afghanistan while serving in the Navy SEALS, one of the most elite and covert spec ops units in the US military. So glad that you enjoy him just as much as we do.
Really? He did?
Mr Ballen knows how to tell a story. Many scary and tough things he talks about.
OMG, I have been to that coffee shop. common grounds is very popular in anchorage. Didn’t know this story before. Interesting to learn it with you.
My family has a rule that after 9:00 pm you have to call and not text. Anyone can text from your phone.
Good idea
Great idea
How come the cops or FBI couldn’t track her phone though if it was being used?
I make my daughters add our secret code word at the end of texts, if they are out late with friends, on a date etc. That way I can be sure it's actually my daughter

true, it would've been nice to see his backstory at the end. it's a staple of a lot of serial killers to have terrible, abused, deprived childhoods.
How can you join the Army with no S.S. card/#?
@@cryptdk2400 pretty judgmental of you
How do you join army with no social security number

Yep! If they pull a gun, you’d much rather risk being shot there rather than die an even more horrific way at a second location.
Mr. Ballen is a former Navy Seal, so a real hero and a great storyteller. Watch others from him, not all are scary. Some are just super strange.

Mr.Ballen is a formal Navy SEAL and a GREAT storyteller. He does stories about all kinds of subjects. My favorite is the Horror and his Strange Disappearances or his Missing 411 series that he takes out of the book series.
The best story teller on the internet. His attention to detail is nuts

@James ok, 99.1%
Always try to escape. Plus never ever let someone take you away. Always fight even if they shoot you. Also kill your intruder so they never can come after you.

Yes, please do more. There is one called The Most F#*&ed Up Police Interrogation; believe me that story is amazing you will not be disappointed.
That one was rough. I was yelling at the cop the whole time it was on. “OPEN YOUR EYES! DETECT, DETECTIVE!” ugh.
Mr. Ballen is the best true story teller on TH-cam..hands down 👍

It flabbergasts me how anyone can do these things! Love Mr Ballen….great story teller!
Love that your reacting to Mr ballen honestly he's a great as I'm sure you know such an amazing story teller and a true American Patriot...
I remember when Mr Allen only had 50,000 followers. He's awesome.
I love that you two nod along to the story. I'm laughing, because I do it too, while watching Mr.Ballen.
You should react to Black Rifle Coffee Company “The Last Cup of Coffee” or their “It’s Who We Are” series
The Last Cup of Coffee, for sure
😭 Very very few people get out alive in a Mr. Ballen story. I binge watched all of his videos and was afraid to leave my house for a few days 😆. Idk why I like this stuff but I do. I even bought a Mr. Ballen t- shirt. And just today listened to his new pod cast. He's such an amazing story teller😍

Never let them take you to a second location.
Haha Millie you got me rolling over here you saying "My God I wish I could unknow that" 🤣🤣🤣
I cried at the end and regretfully went to look at the picture and it absolutely broke me
This story is the subject of an excellent book, "American Predator."
This guys videos are awesome. Do more of these.
That was intense! I enjoyed sharing the story with you. It feels like it's scary campfire tales as a group. Lol

Yes! Mr. Ballen is a great story teller of true stories. On top of a well respected yet retired U.S. Navy Seal. A very elite team.
"Oh, that guy that killed his family?" Showing my age here but I instantly thought of Ronald DeFeo (the Amityville horror).

But seeing her alive in the Store, serving him and having her hands held up and taken away was so heart breaking for me...this world makes me so angry.
12:09 To correct Millie as an Anchorage resident. It wouldn't have been the middle of no where. These coffee shops are in parking lots of strip malls and such.
Yep. The owner no longer allowed one person shifts either.
The bad news is people like that actually exist. The good news is they are very few of the whole population.
I trained my kids to never let them take you to a "secondary place". Even if they point a gun at you, better they shoot you there. Maybe someone will find you and call an ambulance. Don't end up somewhere remote with no help. Fight like hell to not be taken to a "secondary place"!
I did the same thing with my niece. I told her not to ever let anybody take her some place else even if they have a gun.....if you go with them your chance for survival is next to none and they will probably do more than shoot you. Just stand your ground, you have better odds of them being thrown off by your defiance and willing to fight them and hopefully panic and take off. If they shot you there then there is a good chance that they will be caught and someone around to get you medical aid. I find it so so sad that we have to tell kids these things. When I was a kid we didn't even lock our front door. It is a shame.
@@paisliesplace3921 The NEWS greatly exacerbates the amount of information related to crime you are exposed to. Statistically things were more dangerous "back in the day" - you just didn't hear about every crime around the world.
Crazy the first time I watch MrBallenz videos, They got me hooked right away! Then he showed a video about brother soldiers not giving up no matter what and the cost to save there own! Only too revel it was him the hole time, Which makes him very humble and proud to call him and his fellow brothers true Patriots!!
Props the officers that found the car.
You two are awesome together. Love your channel
Had already seen this MrBallen video, but am slamming through to see Millie’s response…love you guys!! At least you get credit for the view - I wouldn’t take that away. ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️
Oh yeah, definitely do some more Mr. Ballen!
Sad story.This was one of the first I saw from Mr.B.This story will stay with you for a long time.
THANK YOU! I LOVE HIS VIDEOS AND YOU GUYS REACTING MAKES IT SO MUCH BETTER :)
I have been a Mr. Ballen fan a long time. Much respect for him as a former navy seal.
You both seem genuinely sweet and kind
Start watching Mr. Ballen and you're down the rabbit hole. It becomes an addiction. Great storyteller! Great reaction!
Mr. Ballen is a retired U.S.Navy Seal. He’s also a great story teller. I’ve been watching his TH-cam channel from the beginning
This is a rough one but this is reality. My friends body after 10 years missing was just found yesterday outside my home town in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Even though stories like this are morbid it gives families some comfort knowing where their loved ones remains lay. My fiancé is a manager at a pharmacy and I stay watching the perimeter well before they close the doors because you just never know.
The scariest thing about looking at the photo is she genuinely looks alive … all things considered the picture looks like any other ransom picture taken with the victim but when you know the story of what happened to that girl it makes you feel sick looking at it
Law Abiding Citizen is an awesome movie. He was so right when it comes to the laws being wrong and ridiculously easy on people who most likely were guilty even though the laws are, you are innocent until proven guilty, they still should have to be careful in case they are guilty. Too many people get off on technicalities and go free when they are guilty. Love that movie.
He's a great story teller watch him all the time
Turning the lights off does make a difference. I notice the background dimming when the lights are turned off. ;)
Millie I'm really good at telling if people are faking about anything and I can say without a doubt that YOU DON'T FAKE ABOUT ANYTHING!!!!! You rock.. a little side note a girl from my hometown went missing and was never found. That's been over 25 years now....
Omg I didn't know you guys did videos like this I'm so happy!!!
I have always heard to not allow anyone to take you from the meeting site. Once they remove you they have more control over the situation. I much rather scream, hit, try to run than be placed in a vehicle. The odds are you won’t be released anyway. Even if killed they have more chances of making mistakes like in DNA left behind or other factors and caught. Do everything to not be moved. How true this is I don’t know and pray none of us find personally find out. Now I have goosebumps. In lighter news, I love your channel. Thanks for sharing!!
MrBallen has some of the best content on TH-cam for sure. Personally I love his series “3 places you can’t go and people went anyways”. Love your channel too keep it up.
Finally!!! I been waiting on these Millie’s facial expressions are priceless 😂
He is a great story teller. He does stories of haunting weird accidents crime mystery. People who just disappear. He makes them very interesting. I would recommend covers.
Never get in the car. Push panic button, throw coffee in his face or run to back of store. Plus she should have been armed and never let them take you anywhere. They have to shoot you. Once taken away you are in worst position.
I've seen too many stories like this. If anyone ever tried to take me they'd have to kill me. No way I'd go anywhere willingly. So sad and tragic.
If you want scared, watch his video "this box will kill you," "palmyra wolves," "teen haunted by something in the woods" videos. Kept me up all night. Watched them after midnight in pitch black. 😬
Please react to How Wolves Change Rivers. I think you guys would really like it and its about Yellowstone.
It actually a docuseries about him on the A&E network Oxygen....
oh don't worry about the trolls. internet trolls will troll.
Best storyteller ever. I watch all of his videos!
I had heard this story before. What a disgusting excuse of a human being.
Beesley, this guy, and his stories, aren't fake, but he does stretch the truth like a giant rubber band. I've told Thurston about him, but he still reacts to the videos.
Great Video as always! You two should reacts to "The Search For D.B. Cooper" and "The Vanishing Of Flight 370" by LEMMiNO. I think you'd both really enjoy them! Keep up the great reactions!
Not everything he does is murders. You should check out his playlists for a good feel of his various content.
While earning my BS in forensics, I asked one of my Pros. (who helped catch Gary Ridgeway, the Green River Killer) how she deals with all the darkness -- she said that she has her husband to ground her. Asked same question of an FBI agent after a presentation he gave, said pretty much the same thing, he has his dog to keep him grounded.
Mr. Ballen does a wide variety of topic's. What interesting about Mr. Ballen is he's an ex Navy Seal , who narration skills are unbelievably good. I mean you hear about Seals being able to over come any situation. And for him to narrate so well and be so entertaining is impressive. I mean your left scratching your head and thinking " What the heck did he go to the Morgan Freeman narration school" or what?
Yes!!!! I love Mr. Ballen's videos. The guy is such a brilliant story teller. Some of his videos are really long, but I swear the time flies by because you're so engaged in the story and wondering what happens next. I particularly love his Top 3 Stories that Sound Fake but Are 100% Real videos.
MrBallen is TH-cam's best story teller by far!
Don’t worry about some random hater who say that ur reaction is fake, there will alway be that one type of person. They prob say that to every reactor. It normal to get these type of comment on a reacting channel. You guys are amazing and awesome to watch. Don’t listen to them
I saw this one from Mr.Ballen already, but watched this again. Then investigated even more.
I live in New Hampshire which is next to Vermont. I remember when this elderly couple disappeared from Vermont. Years later we found out that the couple were two of Keyes’ victims. It was mental.
I saw a video of this guy on how he grew up and its explained why he was the way he was.
I'm with her on never working a dangerous shift by myself. The closest I'd ever gotten was back when I worked elections I was the first one to report to my shift at 4 am on an Election Day. I was literally the first person in the building and I had my human mace in one hand and my bear mace in the other hand when I got out of the car, unlocked the door to the building, and relocked it again until the rest of the staff showed up.
Mr. Ballen tells a story like no one else. He makes it exciting and very understandable. He is an amazing story teller. He is a little scary, but he sure can tell a story. I love him. ❤️🌹❤️ I am sure you two will enjoy Mr. Ballen. I enjoy you too.
John Allen is a friggin rock star. I've literally watched every 1 of his videos
When I saw who this was about I wanted to holler" Millie don't watch!"
Mature audiences only??? DRATS, leaves me out!!! 😂😂😜😜
We wasn't sure if we made it into that either ahah!
From the description of the "proof of life photo" I knew she was already dead when the photo was taken.
He turned the heaters on to thaw her body for that.
Her picture was extremely sad looking it was her looking like she was still alive when she'd been dead for a few days. That pictured almost made me cry.
Always love Mr. Ballen's storytelling, love you two, too!
Love Mr. Ballen... and also Slapped Ham..
You two watching true crime was unexpected, but really interesting. I'd definitely enjoy it if you want to do more.
