Solve Those Cases. Discussion
Solving Those Stories About Gossip
Problem with the Luka case internet sluths is the previous guy they thought was the cat killer, they harrassed and bullied him until he committed suicide. So yeah, internet sluths can help but sometimes this can turn into mob justice.
The Webcam killer was truly sick. A veteran nurse, married to a nurse, using his medical knowledge to get off on "helping" people. Ugh.
“While on a trip to New York City”
*shows footage of Seattle again*
The virgins hit and run case wasn’t told correctly. After the picture of the metal was posted on Reddit, everyone had different ideas of what it could be, it so happened to be that one of the users was a headlight inspector of some sort and had a very good idea what car it came from. It was basically one guy that had the most random job ever that happened to see the post that solved the case
I love WM.
“Sean got his laptop stolen in new york”
Continues to use the space needle b-roll 😂😂😂
They used Disney sign footage long after talking about the guy that used to work for Disney too xD
Terribly sorry as I generally like your content, but whomever did the video editing should be more attentive. Mistakes and recycling footage (ie showing images of Seattle when discussing NYC or showing an image of Walt Disney that was already shown when discussing something unrelated) really takes me out. And why did Anonymous get its own entry only explaining what they do without including an actual crime they might’ve solved. Because of the implication, I was left anticipating what government cover-up they solved. Instead, we just moved on.
Thank you! I felt like something was off and that was it. Really lazy work on their part
It's shocking
Yeah they need to slow down and put more effort in. But it wouldn't make them as much money..
I've noticed similar issues lately as well. Sloppy stats, some with political slant.
That’s crazy. Imagine if anybody gave a shit though.
Just remember that there's a lot of cases where internet sleuths hindered more than helped. Or false accusations that have led innocent people to commit suicide, like the Luka case (they accused and harassed other people before they finally got the right person).
Omg… not that it’s shocking that an internet mob harassed someone online unfortunately, I just can’t imagine all those people accusing me (or any innocent person) of what HE did 😦😭😭
They literally used Seattle when talking about Seattle lma9
9:34 when did New York City get a space needle?
Gotta love when the first 2 entries aren’t even solving the crimes, just identifying a person. What the hell?
Yeeeah
The B-roll footage used in this video is so random. From the Walt Disney World sign for no reason to featuring a shot of the Space Needle when mentioning New York City. What is going on over there?
Oh thank God I'm super high and thought I was losing my mind.
dont forget a tent on a beach when talking about a curb
@@Lotsoflettersforanamelol
Any unsolved crime which is solved, gives the victim and/or family closure. Call it what it is for the family, a minor miracle.
Amen.
3:44 - 4:02 you reused the same footage from Tent Girl.
9:34 "while visiting New York City." Shows a picture of Seattle.
Why did you show the space needle when you referenced New York City? At about 9:25
Okay I'm so glad I'm not the only one who caught on to that.
I feel so bad for Mr Shakespeare, being taken advantaged of such a horrible person.
You forget about how Billy Jensen has been a terrible disgusting person, including sexual assault and how he takes all the credit for those solves when it wasn't just him
What was that tent around again for at 3:46? And, a few seconds later with the Disney thing... Did they fire the editing department at WatchMojo? If so, re-hire them. This was garbage.
#2 The Lotto winner is such a sad story. Poor guy was better off poor. There's a documentary about it.
So the crime was a photographer who forgot his camera in a public restroom. But who were the villain?
I think we need to be honest here The internet had more misses than hits in solving stuff we have short memories so I don't blame us for forgetting certain things.
I was boutta say for each one of these there is about 200 wrong ones
Okay, any solved unsolved crime gives the victim and/or family closure. Call it what it is for the family, a minor miracle. So one solved out of a thousand attempts, still a good thing.
@@joeo7693 no it's just dumb luck by a random group of idiots so you are giving them to much credit
Wow! Quasimodo calm down
In this day and age, why tf are we still leaving bags of cash in our cars?!! It sucks to get stuff stolen, but be smart! Know your surroundings and take precautions! Don't leave anything valuable in your car!
Clips from the tent girl and former Disney guy are accidentally are used in number 16
Really the murders should be higher up than larceny, shouldn't they?
"while visiting New York city" - gives a closer up of the Space Needle.... 🤔
The Internet is the only place where you can find cat videos and solutions to real world problems
Ok, is NO ONE gonna mention that at the 9:11 mark, the map has Illinois misspelled!? WOW!!! 😲😮
At 3:44 you may want to double check your edit. Recycled previous tent girl and disney graphics as a place holder which makes no sense for this story.
Guess we owe anonymous big time for solving cold cases and exposing suspects. I myself am tryna become a sleuth because I want to be a crime writer when I grow up.
I’m in Ohio and I remember the Steubenville case. I’ll forever be thankful to them. That whole town was willing to look the other way to protect those boys. They didn’t want their lives ruined. I should say, the majority of that town, because there really were good people that were as disgusted as the rest of us. There is a documentary on it. Anonymous did more than threaten to release more videos, if memory serves, they threatened school records being wiped or something. At any rate, the sentences were still a joke, but no charges would have been filed at all if anonymous didn’t basically threaten them, and mean their threat.
This video is literally just 'This happened, this person done something'
That’s genuinely how solving a crime usually goes yes
@@liammccool1517 yeah but to put it into a video it usually is structured to have an interesting background. Like 'this person went through a database of pictures and matched this to this' some context on how they figured it out.
The whole premise of the video is that the internet figured it out and there is barely anything on how they did.
@@easynow1337 ohhh ok I understand what your saying now and yeah your right this was kinda limited in actual info but that’s watchmojo for you anymore
So many video errors in this video. The laptop was stolen in NYC and they show a video of Seattle... They show the same Walt Disney fence twice, and the second scene doesn't even have anything to do with Disney.
You forgot to mention how that first case is what led to Todd Matthews co-founding The Doe Network, which is one of the most prominent organizations that help assist in identifying the unidentified (John/Jane Doe's).
Also they never solved the crime, they just identified the person. Her case is still unsolved.
When the internet is more competent than most modern day detectives
False
Not really. Billions of people and hackers solving a crime vs a 2 dozen detectives. Seems obvious who would solve it faster
I feel there are more than 2 dozen detectives the world over - but I get your point @@zero1188
“Visiting New York City” *shows Seattle*
The editing mistakes today
Love visiting the New York Space Needle! 9:34
Who did the editing for this? The random Disney sign popping in and the tent had me so confused
Im sure other folks found some editing mistakes, the mark is on 3:45. Im glad others caught it too, i thought i was experiencing Déjà Vu
The people in #8 are the worst thieves I've seen yet
"Disseminate" was an interesting word choice there (number 6)
Man so many bots here
That bot problem has been a major issue for a while now. On top of that, you got scammers acting like larger channels as well. Basically they promote a fake giveaway using telegram for example. They then make you pay for a fake item you will never get . On top of that, they spam multiple comments as well.
3:45 the tent 😂😂
Nova Scotia flags at the beginning.
Proud to be Nova Scotian 🙏
The internet is a wonderful thing but there are a lot more misses than hits, I think. A lot of the misses are just from wild speculation that can be dangerous. My channel covers true crime and one of these things we try not to do is speculate on cases. Just think of the whole thing with the Boston Bomber or the crazy speculation that's been going on with the college students that were murdered in Idaho.
The Abraham Shakespeare case was later made a segment on *_Deadly Women_*
This edit was very weird ngl
3:34 dude made a full recovery and is still in Portland and works for BankersLife.
I like these videos with actual narrators. The AI narrators are crap.
9:34 a great shot of the famous NYC landmark...the Space Needle. Whoops.
You have a Broll error around the 3:30 mark
Editing mistakes around 3:30
Kinda glossed over all the allegations against Billy Jensen....
I remember when internet thought the guy on Reddit is a guy who plant a bomb on Boston and bully him and harassing him at the point he committed suicide and that's why I hated reddit and the guy who plant a bomb on Boston got arrested so don't worry
You are misremembering. The guy that was wrongly identified had died a month earlier by drowning but was not discovered yet. But I don't think it gave his family any comfort that their son who had been missing for a month was all over Reddit, Buzzfeed and whatever other media picked up the story as a terrorist.
@@desyncer AH... okay ahem..
great piece but distracted by the many editing mistakes
At 9:08, North Carolina, South Carolina and Illinois are all misspelled.
Not me watching this in Green Bay right after a game vs. the Seahawks
178 days in prison for convincing ppl to kill themselves being a literal devil on their shoulders JFC they might as well let him walk in the first place
What's with the editing guys? All cases are pretty dark and then the missing camera one wtf?
You guys should do a top 10 hacker who got caught red handed
Kevin Paulsen would be on that list
the random tent clip ?
That piece of “metal” in the Virginia hit & run case sure looked like plastic to me, especially if it came off the grill of a truck.
Why’s the music so happy
Yep Abraham here in lakeland where i live
Your number #13 on this list would be great in a movie , maybe with one or two other ( examples ) from this subject to add to it's script so the movie plot doesn't seem too thin . ♑️✍️🇸🇯🇦🇺
3:44 - that is a very weird looking curb :) wrong "image" inserted?
Happy 4th of July to each and everyone of you all.
They get wild over a laptop. Meanwhile many kids are missing
"... while visiting New York City." (Shows Seattle, WA)
PLEASE pay attention to the editing of the videos being posted! So many of your videos have shocking editing where they show photos that have nothing to do with the narration and its not difficult to miss
so they stole that shiz, then recorded a video of them "flexing" the money they stole
Billy Jensen is a true hero. Loved his narration of his book Chase Darkness with Me and the podcast he did with Paul Holes.
A true hero....as long as you overlook the sexual harassment and assault stuff...
We did it Reddit!
I feel like I know what number one is, and I am only 7 seconds in. D*** is my guess for number 1... (Don't look it up/Google it if you don't already know it...). If you think you know it, I have posted the acronym well below as to what I think makes number 1.
DFWC is the acronym.
Edit/Addition: I hate that I was correct. If you read this far, you probably already knew. I hate that I got it right.
And once again, they get it wrong with the Magnotta case. That’s not what happened to find him.
Oh yeah sheriff Grady Judd!!!!! 16:37
Taylor Baehl case
What about the man touching the woman in her sleep?
Cats got more attention than the kids. So sad.
Identifying a victim is not solving a crime
...... a missing camera
Really mojo??
I ain't crime shaming nobody but what kind of innocent person has bags of hundred dollar bills in their car?
Subtitles please!
The auto generated subtitles from TH-cam are already pretty accurate
Some of these are not examples of cases that were solved, but rather are examples of who the victim was.
What about the one in the thumbnail???
number 17 solved nothing so why is it on the list and Billy Jensen sexuality assaulted a bunch of women so I don't thin he should be given any credit
I was looking for this comment. I was surprised to see him on this list, especially since it didn’t really explain what he solved.
"Welcome to watch mojo" ❤
Oh yeah editing was bad on this one 😅
Some casesare not really solved by internet, but using internet, that is just another database.
Police solved a lot of cases using internet, too
Who leaves money a laptop and a MacBook in their car ???
Finally We solved Crimes.
I need some Sleep With My Boyfriend Chris Pine. #CuteMoments
No mention of Billy Jensen being a predator? Okay.
wow...i'm really glad those rapists and pedophiles got a max of two years in prison. definitely think they have paid for their crimes
Figuring out someone's identity isn't technically solving a crime.
You out number watch dogs are everywhere.
I got away with it again this time ;)
Why are we killing people over sports teams?
Why do you want to be in reuse footage of Seattle space needle to illustrate New York City in the story of the Canadians stolen laptop?
Is no one gonna talk about #16..? Or am I just high
❤❤❤❤❤
bruh if people can find the perpetrators on this list by using the internet they can surely find who killed biggie and tupac
