      It was more logical at the time because he was nowhere to be seen. After time passes and he's still not been located at all, it becomes more likely he's deceased.
      When it comes to serial killers, the only real way to catch them is red handed, forensics, or most likely eye witnesses. Much better for the public to draw a logical conclusion then let the news publish about an unknown serial killer.

      I guess theoretically he could've left the forest, dropped off his daughter, and then driven back and left his truck there. That doesn't make much sense though if he was trying to flee the area surely he wouldn't leave his truck. It was pretty obvious to me that because they didn't find him or his truck immediately he had been killed as well

      Right! I mean even though he had a temper (that doesn’t justify him hurting Diana at all, he should’ve been taken to court over that) why didn’t the police dig up the area around Diana’s body? If he’d killed Diana but spared Crystal that doesn’t make any sense to me.

    • @RelativelyBest
      @RelativelyBest ปีที่แล้ว +9

      A problem is that while we may remember far more than we think we do, memory itself is surprisingly unreliable: It's not like a static video recording that always stays the same. Rather we remember things by, essentially, firing certain neurons in a certain order - making the brain repeat what went through it the first time, if you will. That order can change over time and if it does, we can't tell the difference between false memories and real ones. Because, technically, there isn't one.
      Not only can we badly misremember things, it's actually possible to convince people that they remember events that never happened just by suggesting that they did. Like, if the hypnotist asks: "Did he have brown hair?", that might _cause_ her to remember him as having brown hair even if he really didn't.

      @vexingrabbit1824 3 ปีที่แล้ว +46

      When a Child witness something like that they go through alot of stress on the mind and as a defensive measure the mind blocks those events to protect the girl's mental state. So even when she grows up she won't be able to recall much of what happened as her memory is fragmented of the event and can only recall disturbing visuals and sounds that destroyed her psyche. As a result all those broken disturbing visuals and sounds she witness turns into what her brain can only translate the event of "moMmy Is iN tHe tReEs". When she grows older she would need to see a expert therapist to be able to translate what in the hell happened. and since he was a toddler what ever happened is probably trapped in her in the back of her head unable to wrap her head around it.

      I have a theory. The dad fights off the killer as the mom and kid run away. He is stabbed near the truck and is dying, meanwhile the killer leaves the dad to die and runs off to chase the kid and mom. The dad(hoping that the mom and kid get away safely) knows he is dying and wants to tell his wife that he loves her one last time. So he climbs in the truck and writes it down so she will see it when it's all over.

    • @marklewandowski8474
      @marklewandowski8474 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      He was most likely the killer. Grid searches are notorious for "thoroughly searching" an area sometimes multiple times and finding nothing. Then a random hiker finds the body right in the center of the search area.
      It's a lot easier for the police to claim he was buried than admit maybe they didn't do a thorough enough search. But the previous couple wasn't buried. So breaks from the MO. And connecting 2 other couples that were killed (no tube sock in their cases) across decades and thousands of square miles of PNW forest is a stretch to say the least.
      Maybe he killed the couple because one got stuck in his trap and he panicked. Or who knows. But more probable than not he killed them (much less personal way than stabbing 17x) and at least his wife and himself.

    Another story from the pacific northwest that should deserve a video: the soap lady of Lake Crescent. Her body was found soapified after three years of being underwater. And due to the conditions of the lake, it was the perfect conditions to make her body soapy which eventually floated up to the surface and the questions started popping up. How did she end up on the bottom of the lake? Who murdered her this way and tied her up before throwing her into the lake? What were their motives? Fascinating story and I visited the lake, never would've guessed that there's such a dark mystery tied to it. (Maybe let's get MrBallen to cover this story???)

      I have read that it is very difficult for law enforcement to apprehend murderers who are total strangers to his victims. Unless there is a lot of evidence and/or a witness (es), it's almost impossible for them to find the perpetrator.

  • @cjb2749
    @cjb2749 3 ปีที่แล้ว +417

    #1: I don't necessarily believe that Mike was buried. This stuff happens way too often, where searchers overlook evidence or remains, usually because they searched right around the area, but didn't hit that specific spot. His bones were probably scattered because of animals.
    #2: I think it's pretty clear that Mike was killed in the forest first, then killer came to where mommy and baby were waiting in the truck, killed Diana in the front seat, then dragged her body under the tree where it was found. Crystal saw all of this, and, of course, was in shock and only 2yrs old, so she probably blocked out the murderers face, but she saw her mom left under the tree, then the bad guy grabbed her and took her to the kmart. It's really unfortunate that they didnt have security cameras there.
