    Hi my name is Danielle, welcome to my True Crime and Makeup series! I’ve been interested in true crime for the longest time now, what started with me watching true crime on TV with my Nan from a young age eventually turned into studying for a degree in Law & Criminology.
    When I first watched Bailey Sarian’s Mystery Makeup Monday series I was completely hooked, I loved how she had combined two of the things I’m most passionate about and delivered it so well. She totally inspired me to take the leap and do the same thing on my channel, so all credit for the idea goes 100% to her.
    I’m from the UK and will be covering cases from both the UK and internationally, let me know if there are any cases that you’d like to see from me! More cases will be coming soon so please subscribe if you enjoyed this video!

      Steven’s mother was distancing herself from her reality by calling Katie, his wife. She’s apportioning the blame on Katie. I’m not sure why Katie phoned Steven though, they were clearly already ended.

    So I was adopted at birth and met my birth father two years ago. We have a ton in common, we have similar personalities and interests, and we have really gotten close. HOWEVER the idea of dating him makes me want to gag because, yeah, maybe he isn’t who I consider Dad, but he is still my father?? Like??

      Yeah exactly. I have a cousin that I only met for the first time when I was 18 and he was 20, so pretty similar in age. He's pretty attractive I'd say, and we have a lot in common and get along really well but just the fact that we're blood-related has prevented me from ever seeing him in any sort of romantic way even for 1 second and just thinking about it grosses me out. Like, just no. I just don't get incest, and it's already disgusting between cousins or siblings but between parents and their actual children it's even worse.

    With how Steven's mum referred to Katie as "his wife" - she hesitated. I have a feeling she just didn't want to have to explain the entire situation of that before getting to the actual point of "my son has murdered his baby, his baby mama, along with her father". Technically she was his wife; albeit an abomination... but that aspect was kind of less important in that very moment. People are also very prideful. She already had to tell them her son is a killer, so I'm sure there was a large level of embarrassment and shame with that alone.

      Women always get blamed, especially women who get pregnant outside of marriage or while underage. Because women are forced by nature to carry the baby, I believe that seeing an obviously pregnant woman tends to produce uncomfortable feelings in such bigoted people. Even the court system in this case was bigoted against the woman in this case, and she was literally a teenager who had been a victim of incest by her own father. There was still less sympathy for the victim in this case during her lifetime - as Danielle pointed out, the law actually held Katie in custody longer than Stephen. Its filthy disgusting that nobody - not even the courts - were willing to protect her from him. Its clear to me that Stephen really didn't view Katie as a separate person from him, but only alive for him to use how he saw fit, and when she wanted to leave him he ended her life. Even his child Bennett only existed to him because of Katie, it seems, and when he decided to do away with her Bennett wasn't allowed to live.

    So the theory about potential incestuous relationships is this:
    Its been studied that children who get separated at birth from their sibling (and sometimes parent) will live their lives not knowing about the one they were separated from. Later in life they somehow reconnect and feel a very strong bond to one another, that they’re very similar and have a lot in common and tend to find more comfort in one another then other people. So they will sometimes end up forming a romantic relationship with each other, _not knowing_ that they are blood related, and they sometimes will choose to stay together, but USUALLY make a promise to not have any biological children. The theory relies _heavily_ on the fact that the siblings/parent-child are unaware that they are related in anyway prior to the relationship forming. Basically, it is a real theory that has been studied and it leaves a genuine grey area of morality (again, they usually promise to not have any children, so the relationship is kept purely just with them being romantic/sexual and not having children which is one of the biggest reasons incest is so illegal and morally wrong). This case, however, they _knew_ they were related, Katie sought them out because she wanted to reconnect with her _parents_ so this theory doesnt apply to them, and their relationship was disgusting and wrong and just, so, so gross

      Or... There might be a mix: he liked her cause she looked like her mom when he dated her at 15, she had serious daddy issues. Both haven't seen each other before, so meeting as adults and being each others "types" the chemistry was overwhelming. It was clear that Steven was a "Satan" so incest? Yeah, whatever. But for the Katie to develop such strong feelings and ignore all else, even law, is insane. It feels like something rare but very strong must've played a biological role in this. It's creepy but fascinating at the same time.

    Having been an incest victim of the 1950-1963 era this broadcast just brought me back to my experience. I was so in love with my father that I tried to defend him through every avenue. In the end he got therapy and I got destroyed, both within family and many years after the fact. Society could not rebuke him but could blame and destroy me as a Iolita, even my brothers condemned me. At less than 14yrs old my mother put me on a bus heading for LosAngeles Ca and wished me luck.

    I'm sorry, but Steven's parents and Katie's adoptive parents are a huge part of this problem. 18 years old or not be damned, my parents would have broken my legs if I told them I was essentially running away from home at 18, ditching my plans for a future and pursuing a relationship with my BIOLOGICAL FATHER.

      @@notyourgma Are you forgetting that Alyssa was ALSO a child? When Denise/Katie was born, Alyssa was only 17 herself, and had been under the thumb of an abusive man 5 years her senior for over 2 years. Steven was essentially her guardian at that point (since he was the husband to this underage girl), and I'm sure she was petrified. The best she could do seemed to be to convince Steven to give Denise/Katie up for adoption & I dunno...I mean, in one way, she got to have a decent childhood at least, but if she'd stayed with them, she probably wouldn't have thought she'd fallen in love with her own dad when they met as adults. Then again, if she'd stayed with Alyssa & Steven, she might not have even made it to adulthood.

      Yeah, I graduated w/double major, one was a BS is Psychology, way back in the dark ages where computers didn't exist. So, this is just my opinion but more and more psychologists are reaching the same conclusion, to put it in laymen terms, "FREUD WAS BAD SHIT CRAZY".That doesn't mean that he didn't make huge strides in the field of psychology, but he's not the great shrink some people make him out to be.
      For example, based on what we know about Freud, he probably wouldn't have had that big a problem with the incest. BUT, he would have, in fact, blamed it ALL on Alyssa for putting her and Steven's daughter up for adoption, depriving him of all the fatherly events he missed with his first child. Freud probably would have said that their sexual attraction to one another was a "symptom" due to a result of a delayed "Oedipus Complex" and again would have blamed Alyssa. Freud had serious "Mummy issues" and it's been rumored that he and his daughter, Anna, had a similar relationship as these two. He would have completely ignored the abuse and even the murders. They can say this guy suffered from several mental health issues such as depression and separation anxiety. So what? We all get through the same thing without taking a life or hurting his daughter/wife when she was an infant and killing his own son/grandson. He's a murderer and should be treated accordingly.

It didn't matter that her mother tried to give her a better start to her life, or that she was raised by loving adoptive parents, this monster of a man's reach was too strong.

She might not have left him but at least she did the next best thing and put her baby up for adoption. Had Katie not gone looking for her bio parents she’d most likely be here. But then maybe if that happened and in that timeline Alyssa ended up leaving Stephen he would’ve killed Alyssa and their two daughters instead.

    I was in a very abusive relationship when I was in my early 20s, in that case his mother was a huuuuuge enabler. He especially got violent when he drank, and she knew this and would buy him cases of beer in secret. She got him out of every situation he got into (DUIs, crashing cars, punching holes in walls, even once trying to kill himself because he got caught drinking by his father-who was extremely opposed to alcohol so he would have kicked him out) and never lectured him or made him face any consequences. I remember running to her for help one night when my ex came home at 5am drunk out of his mind, after having stayed up all night waiting for him (he wasn’t answering texts or phone calls) he got in bed and I nudged him and said “where have you been” and he sat up and choked me and told me to shut up. He had a look in his eyes that scared me to my core, so I got up and ran to his mothers room and through tears explained it to her, she looked me dead in the eyes and said “no my son isn’t like that, you must have done something to get him upset”

They BOTH would have gotten arrested, put on the list, & probly lost their kid. Not all sex offenders lose the right to see their own children, but I guarantee u do, when the charge is incest!!

    I feel even worse for the biological mother of Katy because she tried so hard to keep her oldest daughter safe from him. She gave her up to do this and then told the police when she found out about them having sex. Poor baby too. He was innocent in every single way. This is just one of the worst causes.

  • @dannigruesome4920

    The mom referring to Katie as Steven's "wife" is messed up for someone who knows the details of the case, but I also can't really blame her if she's making an emergency 911 call that is time sensitive. Like saying "his daughter broke up with him" and "he killed his daughter and her father" are nonsensical sentences on their own which require a whole insane backstory to give the dispatcher the context which would distract from the immediate emergency of him having just admitted to triple homicide and being free roaming.

  • @m3galodon_22
    @m3galodon_22 2 ปีที่แล้ว +37

    This is my second time watching this video, and I kinda wanna add my two cents. I don't agree that Katie shouldn't be charged as heavily as Stephen. I honestly believe they should be tried the same. Both parties are legal adults, both knew what they were doing was wrong. Quite honestly, I knew insest was wrong from the time I was about 10. Yes, Stephen was a manipulator, but Katie was told the hard facts that he used to abuse her and she still chose to go back to him, so she is also 50% to blame here. I don't want to victim shame, that is never my intention, but when you are made aware of reality and still choose to go back to your deluded one, you become complicit. This is just my biased opinion.

      I completely agree.

Probably because I knew any better, it's true, but still it was my choice. She knew everything, she knew that was my father, that he was abusive towards her when she was still a baby, so...

    I would give stevens mom a pass on calling her his wife instead of daughter on the 911 call. I think she did that in order to get the important information out as quickly as possible. I’m sure she knew she could clarify that part later on. I could be wrong but I just have a feeling that’s why.

      You're assuming Alyssa infoed the adoption agency of the abuse, which is doubtful. Then you're assuming the adoption agency told her parents. THEN you're assuming it was an open adoption & they had access to his information, in order to get a restraining order. Then you're forgetting that a restraining order is only good for a year (in most, if not all states) & that if he had never tried to contact her, the judge would likely not have renewed every year for 18 years. & then of course, she certainly could have chosen to have it lifted herself when she turned 18.
