@@ispartacus1337 Well, the Marxists have been trying to destroy the family for over a hundred years. But, no, they have no sincere arguments, only hatred, madness, and lies.
John is far more of a forgiving man than I could ever be.. if I knew someone like Reine had put my family through all of that, I don’t think I could have stopped myself from giving him what he deserved..
It’s truly amazing to witness. Revenge and hatred is heavy to carry around. Happy he and his wife walked away and chose freedom. God always has the last say…in this life or the next. Beautiful family.
I wished that he could have shot Melvin but I'm so glad he didn't. Revenge is never the answer and killing that horrible man wouldn't be worth spending the rest of his life in prison. It would have caused his family even more intense pain.
The thing is, had he done that, no doubt someone would have come after his family in TN. They had found a form of peace there. He made the right decision.
It would make a terrible movie because the dad just rolls over and lets a criminal dominate his whole life. No revenge. No retribution. It would be frustrating and unwatchable.
That niece stood up like a G. She put her life on the line for those kids. A real stand up young lady. She never thought of hiding. She wanted whomever that was at that door to think she was the ONLY one there. GANGSTA!!!
She was no "GANGSTA", that would be an insult. 🙄 And she was also a kid herself. She was just a badass. A brave badass young lady. She was watching over younger ones. Acting like a momma bear, but only few years older than them. 😎Badass.
Disgusting treatment of a man who trained and lived to protect the town. John, if you're still with us, we can understand you perfectly. You brought up your family to be as strong as yourself, as are your brother and niece. You sir are someone everyone dreams to look up to. I'm angry that you didn't get the justice you deserved and hope your later life is peaceful and happy.
This is a remarkable story but so upsetting that he says “he’s hard to understand”. It makes my heart truly break for people who say that, especially when he’s not all that hard to understand. An outstanding man.
Wonderful story! One of the crime story that has a satisfactory ending. Great guy, dad and mom, daughter and cousin. How come the two boys weren’t in the film? :-)
Policajt23 Illegal is what is against the law. Men make law as a collective, man may break the law in person when upholding the law is unbearable to him.
Honestly if I was a cop in that town and John got revenge I'd turn my head and say "nope I don't have any idea as to who would do such a thing to Melvin"
teresa rangel well to be fair that’s what they did to this man. They turned their head and said “nope don’t have any idea who would do such a thing to John” Eye for an eye 👎 you’re no better than Melvin when you do the exact same thing Put him in maximum security prison for life.
The mist messed up part of this story is how their town literally kicked the family out and gave up on them and the investigation into who shot John. That police department should be absolutely ashamed of themselves. Disgusting.
Yes, and it just goes to show you to be kind to people. No matter if they appear to have it all together, you never know what people are going through. Or maybe what people have been through.
This is one of the most amazing stories I've ever heard. This family unit stuck together through it all. The police force and the city did this man and his family wrong but they still moved on with their lives and ketbthe bitterness and resentment go. Give this family all the medals and the medical team that helped John. Wow. Just wow.
With that beard he reminded me of a Paul Bunyan type guy. And with how he looked after his family, and how the police, at least gave them that 24hr guarded protection, even for his kids in school, I would say this is one guy who has his heart in the right place.
Reminds me of my dad, my dad was killed 2 months before my birth, he told my mother to name me Shyanna, he died saving a little girl from a monster who had already raped her, and then tried killing her, my dad jumped in the way and was shot straight in the heart, thankfully other officers were around to rescue the little girl and capture the man. I wish I had gotten to know him.
@@violetxbearbear60 I don't have a clue who you are or if your story is correct,but if it is,I am really sorry.I'm not religious but I wouldn't be surprised if your dad is watching over you.Somehow,somewhere...(And your mum) I've met some real evil ppl.There are far too many of them & they're all over,in North America,Arabia, Asia,North Africa & every corner of Europe too.(Grew up in North West Eu(Basically Scandinavia,the UK,Germany,the Benelux,was in a cult+)But I concider myself somewhat lucky since I've also happened to meet/know quite a few, but very good ppl too.The evil ppl.I talk about are narcissistic, sosiopaths,psychopaths,they're dealing with Munchousen by proxy etc.Some of the so-called good ppl.I happened to come across have just turned up,then next minute or so,well they simply just vanished.I never got to thank those ppl.They made me wanna go on with my life.Your dad must've been one of these so called"angels in disguise"ppl.Not being crazy,but from my own experiences my gut tells me there are more between heaven and earth than what meets the eye.You r dad is with you.He could be your guardian angel,who knows..What you probably do know though is that he will always be in your💗A dear one never walks away. Wherever you go,whatever you do he will be there.Most likely the way you(And the lady he loved)prefer.Because there are ppl. who knows how to care.I strongly believe that's one of the reasons why I'm still down here.The story about John & his family upsets me,it's truly heartbreaking....His family didn't desvere any of it, nor did he.The Marvlin guy lived for 74 yrs,nearly my age x 2,which I concider far too long for being such a horrible person.The police didn't serve the family any justice either.Still believe in Karma though.John & his precious family turns out to be the winning team after all at the end of the day.💞
What a badass!!! And his wife what an amazing women! Can u imagine the amount of stress and sadness she endured as well as her husband and kids. I’m so happy they are still together.
Tia Time yeah. Because the Reine family is still living in Farmouth actively and people are still afraid of them! Somebody needs to let them “Smell the smoke!” 😂😂
This was published in 2013 and I’m in 2020 right now but this really breaks my heart the town failed that man and his whole family it’s so disappointing .
I don't understand why it matter how many years after such a horrendous crime is committed, the person is still guilty and still should stand trial and face punishment. Statute of limitations my ASS. that family still suffered at the hands of that man. That young niece was baby sitting those three kids, was incredibly brave to hide them and risk herself instead. amazing woman, and an amazing family.
We have laws, you know? You can't just point and say, hey that is a bad guy, he needs to be in jail. No matter how true, you need to follow due process. Otherwise INNOCENT people will end up in jail too. If he had been killed, there would be no statute. The truth is, they had a better family life then most people. Certainly better then mine. My parents were bastards. If someone shot them, i probably would have celebrated. So don't make this more then it is.
Marina Doshkevich I dont care how much time passes after a crime, the person should still be accountable for that crime. this "law" lets them get away with it if enough time passes and that's just not right.
This hurts me to watch this. A good man and family.. My husband was a cop for 33 years and put in hospital 3 times..I just lost him.. He too was a good man.
I watch a lot of crime stories, but this one....I'm actually crying over this story. I was is shock when they put John on the screen and I realize he survived. When he came back home and said 'I'm done', I was so happy for him for getting to that place after planning and planning a revenge. Finally he let go of the anger and returned to his life... this family is amazing. And I was so anxious as they kept interviewing his wife alone, I kept wondering the entire time if they had split up at some point, and that last moment where they're together on the beach, that was the happiest part for me. They truly all healed as a family and managed to stay together and live a good life despite what had happened.
I am filled with admiration for this family. It’s horrifying how the father ended up being punished by his community for being brave. I applaud his fearlessness; never compromising and refusing to capitulate to the bullying from the psychopath Reine. His beautiful wife remained loyal to her husband and their children throughout it all! Such a superb family .
God this show is good. I don't think Iv'e ever felt more relieved than the moment John Busby appeared on camera alive and well. My heart ached for his wife. The way she described him. She loves him so much. Ok, well time to binge watch more of this show and chew my nails off!
Accio Cake I so agree! I can't decide which series is better -- this one, forensic files or disappeared. I'm on a long vacation so I'm going to binge on all of them! Cheers!
Ugh me too, I literally welled up. I am so so so gad he lived. I am so sad he had to go through the torment and agony of being betrayed by his city/PD, and fear for his family and himself, but what a will to survive and an amazing man. This was one of the craziest mystery episodes ever!
Can we appreciate the wife for a moment: she stuck with her husband and family through him almost dying, distancing himself during his recovery and constant anxiety if they will live through to the next day. That’s what a great mother and wife should be
Bloxburg tips :3 i mean people are different and some decide to abandon their families when the situation gets sticky or uncomfortable or hurtful for them

@@brooklynlandrum4429I would suggest you do some reading on history through to current times. You seem to have neglected so much of history and of today's reality that it's a dreadful injustice to hundreds of billions of animals including humans.
And his wife, hands down that woman stuck with him during all this. There is no weight of gold that can amount the wealth of a good woman. No man can not pay for a good woman, no man is that rich.
Incredible woman. Like my mom, who raised and cared for her baby boy, who was severely disabled from birth 1984 thru death 2007. She took _immaculate_ care of him, and went through SO MUCH. My dad wanted to put my brother in a home, he never would've lived and had the love he got if that happened he wasn't supposed to live to be 1 year old and he made it to 22. There should be awards for people like his wife, and my mom.
side note: Melvin’s first wife went missing, and his second wife was shot dead in her home (while he was in prison.) this guy needs every inch and aspect of his life examined.
I read the daughters book. I love this family. My husband was a police officer for 33 years. I lost him last year. I am so happy the family made it together.
I admire John for being so honest about how he felt and the revenge he wanted. I admire him even more for being able to overcome those feelings and move on with his life for his family. I admire his family for their strength, courage and tenacity.
It’s incredible how selfless, unique and courageous each one of these people are and together they are just an awe-inspiring family. The definition of which a family should be. They were failed by so many that should have had their backs but instead of holding on to bitterness due to that fact they continued through life always having each other’s backs. Just the simple fact that John couldn’t even allow himself to go under until he heard his family was safe despite the tremendous amount of pain I’m sure he was enduring speaks volumes.
I saw a longer show about this several years ago, which went more into the back story of who shot him. Apparently, Melvin was a local goon who had a lifelong reputation as a violent psychopath. His whole family are the kind of people you don't want living anywhere near you. So glad the family were survivors, who were able to beat the odds and get on with their lives. True Evil does exist out there and sometimes is passed down genetically.
The fact that they had to give up Tigger for Max and that Max was aggressive towards the some members of the family meant that “training center” didn’t properly train Max before handing him over to that family. This whole story is just heartbreaking.
I know! That's just another heartbreak for the family. They lost so much. And imagine how their dog missed their family and didn't understand why they gave him away. 😢
Thats what I thought too. Very reckless of them to hand over a badly trained dog that could have harmed the children, and very sad they had to give the Beagle away. A good trainer could have trained it to be protective and a loving member of the family and become friends with the other dog.
The fact that both the father and his family survived is a true testament that good can triumph over evil. As long as people are willing to make sacrifices. I do think the legal system and local police department should have done more for the officer and his family. It's scary to know a clan of criminals could control a town with impunity and evade the justice system.
They did such a good job repairing his face, I could understand him completely and he looks great. Seeing him talking made my day after watching the first part of the story.
@Jo Pearson Um, at that point in the story, they had not even revealed that he had not died in the end. However, I agree that it was very obvious he was not a corpse since he was at the hospital having surgery, which they said. But the Vardy may have been thrown off by them all talking about him in the past tense during that part of the story. I suspect the writers did that to throw us all off and make us think he didn't survive until they were ready to reveal that he was still, in fact, alive.
Shame on the town that abandoned the officer after what he and his family went through. Some one could have taken that guy down. The family is amazing.
Sooo creepy . This episode is well done . Suspenseful . This poor family . That niece is a force ! High - five ...she protected them . Bless this family
I have been married to my husband for 47 years and when you marry for life, this is what you do, Stick together through thick and thin, for better or worse.

@@ispartacus1337 depends on the extended family....
@@ispartacus1337 Well, the Marxists have been trying to destroy the family for over a hundred years. But, no, they have no sincere arguments, only hatred, madness, and lies.
John is far more of a forgiving man than I could ever be.. if I knew someone like Reine had put my family through all of that, I don’t think I could have stopped myself from giving him what he deserved..
It’s truly amazing to witness. Revenge and hatred is heavy to carry around. Happy he and his wife walked away and chose freedom. God always has the last say…in this life or the next. Beautiful family.
I wished that he could have shot Melvin but I'm so glad he didn't. Revenge is never the answer and killing that horrible man wouldn't be worth spending the rest of his life in prison. It would have caused his family even more intense pain.
Heneeded to be there for his family
I wouldn't have stopped myself.
The thing is, had he done that, no doubt someone would have come after his family in TN. They had found a form of peace there. He made the right decision.
John looks absolutely incredible! Wouldn’t have known he was shot at all!
He does have a big beard though .. and can't speak :(
@@RosalieF1 the beard is most likely hiding the scars left behind from the attack
@@RosalieF1 we heard him speak! And actually I thought the injuries would be much worst visually speaking specially considering the year it happened.
Yeah, except for his speech may be. I keep looking at where?

Anyone else wanted to jump for joy when you found out the dad survived.
Yes I was 😉😊🥰
🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋
John Chan OMIGAWD YES!!😩
Yessss!!!!!
I came to the comments because I HAD to know!!! That just made me extremely happy 😆!!!
You *DID* win John.....you did!
Your first win was from *surviving!*
John is a hero. And Melvin's narcissistic mental illness caught up with him, so poetic justice there. Truth will always prevail. God wins.
Hello, how are you doing?
This story should be made into a movie, with all profits going to John and his family.
True
It would make a terrible movie because the dad just rolls over and lets a criminal dominate his whole life. No revenge. No retribution. It would be frustrating and unwatchable.
@@DavidHarrisActor There are more kind of movies then just action movies. As a drama or thriller it would work well.
That is a capital idea. Maybe the cop(s) on the take might be identified too. In a way they are equally guilty.
They can’t do it to everyone so no
That niece stood up like a G. She put her life on the line for those kids. A real stand up young lady. She never thought of hiding. She wanted whomever that was at that door to think she was the ONLY one there. GANGSTA!!!
Truth.
life of lovely malyah
"For those kids"? She was only one or two years older than them. She was very brave and loving.
You Remind Me of the Babe okay Literal McLiteralstein
Aldo the Apache
I guess you don't know the difference between a child and a young adult. Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a shame.
She was no "GANGSTA", that would be an insult. 🙄
And she was also a kid herself. She was just a badass. A brave badass young lady. She was watching over younger ones. Acting like a momma bear, but only few years older than them. 😎Badass.
Awe "he won't go down" he's fighting to keep his family safe. What a man!!! They don't come like that much anymore.
No they don't! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Tru that girl.
Women who stayed by his side when times get tuff “they don’t come like that much anymore”
Ha,ha
Ha,ha
Disgusting treatment of a man who trained and lived to protect the town. John, if you're still with us, we can understand you perfectly. You brought up your family to be as strong as yourself, as are your brother and niece. You sir are someone everyone dreams to look up to. I'm angry that you didn't get the justice you deserved and hope your later life is peaceful and happy.
This is a remarkable story but so upsetting that he says “he’s hard to understand”. It makes my heart truly break for people who say that, especially when he’s not all that hard to understand. An outstanding man.

Wonderful story! One of the crime story that has a satisfactory ending. Great guy, dad and mom, daughter and cousin. How come the two boys weren’t in the film? :-)
I thought he spoke very well.
ok but can we appreciate his uncle for a minute? he did an absolute chad move, even tho it was illegal, he just wanted revenge for his nephew
Policajt23 - Amen. Took amazing strength to walk away from revenge!
I would have taken it. Who would have prosecuted? Everyone feared the guy. He would be dead, so no more worries.
Policajt23
Illegal is what is against the law.
Men make law as a collective, man may break the law in person when upholding the law is unbearable to him.
I really smiled at that. Like let's go get em nephew.
Honestly if I was a cop in that town and John got revenge I'd turn my head and say "nope I don't have any idea as to who would do such a thing to Melvin"
teresa rangel well to be fair that’s what they did to this man. They turned their head and said “nope don’t have any idea who would do such a thing to John”
Eye for an eye 👎 you’re no better than Melvin when you do the exact same thing
Put him in maximum security prison for life.

The mist messed up part of this story is how their town literally kicked the family out and gave up on them and the investigation into who shot John. That police department should be absolutely ashamed of themselves. Disgusting.
Yeah. That department was either filled with cowards, or corrupt leaders. I'm leaning towards the latter. Sickening stuff.
Strongly agree 💯. Despicable.

@@lindaholly4918 Agree, so true.
Hold up…John survived getting shot in the face 😳
@Microwaved Metal --- And with a damn SHOTGUN no less!! It truly boggles the mind to think about it... The man is a beast for sure.
I almost cried when I saw him because I did not think he would survive that.
This is one of the most amazing stories I've ever heard. This family unit stuck together through it all. The police force and the city did this man and his family wrong but they still moved on with their lives and ketbthe bitterness and resentment go. Give this family all the medals and the medical team that helped John. Wow. Just wow.
They did a damn good job putting him back together...he is still a very handsome man!
Same thing I thought the man was shot in the face with a SHOTGUN o.o kudos to the doctors u cant tell at all.
I thought the same thing!! Amazing doctors

The guy who was shot is one of the most badass men I've ever heard of.
Cornflack my dad
With that beard he reminded me of a Paul Bunyan type guy. And with how he looked after his family, and how the police, at least gave them that 24hr guarded protection, even for his kids in school, I would say this is one guy who has his heart in the right place.
Reminds me of my dad, my dad was killed 2 months before my birth, he told my mother to name me Shyanna, he died saving a little girl from a monster who had already raped her, and then tried killing her, my dad jumped in the way and was shot straight in the heart, thankfully other officers were around to rescue the little girl and capture the man. I wish I had gotten to know him.
Cornflack I was shot and I don’t get any recognition😤😤jk my case was open and closed very quickly and not as scary as this haha.

Wherever you go,whatever you do he will be there.Most likely the way you(And the lady he loved)prefer.Because there are ppl. who knows how to care.I strongly believe that's one of the reasons why I'm still down here.The story about John & his family upsets me,it's truly heartbreaking....His family didn't desvere any of it, nor did he.The Marvlin guy lived for 74 yrs,nearly my age x 2,which I concider far too long for being such a horrible person.The police didn't serve the family any justice either.Still believe in Karma though.John & his precious family turns out to be the winning team after all at the end of the day.💞
What a badass!!! And his wife what an amazing women! Can u imagine the amount of stress and sadness she endured as well as her husband and kids. I’m so happy they are still together.
John is a warrior. A man of the old code refused to die for the sake of his family. I hope I can be that strong

I don't understand why it matter how many years after such a horrendous crime is committed, the person is still guilty and still should stand trial and face punishment. Statute of limitations my ASS. that family still suffered at the hands of that man. That young niece was baby sitting those three kids, was incredibly brave to hide them and risk herself instead. amazing woman, and an amazing family.
honestly, I don't understand why they don't sue the hell out of that town.
We have laws, you know? You can't just point and say, hey that is a bad guy, he needs to be in jail. No matter how true, you need to follow due process. Otherwise INNOCENT people will end up in jail too. If he had been killed, there would be no statute. The truth is, they had a better family life then most people. Certainly better then mine. My parents were bastards. If someone shot them, i probably would have celebrated. So don't make this more then it is.
Marina Doshkevich I dont care how much time passes after a crime, the person should still be accountable for that crime. this "law" lets them get away with it if enough time passes and that's just not right.
Marina Doshkevich he's a freaking arsenest 😠 he could set his freaking prison on freaking freaking fire

I watch a lot of crime stories, but this one....I'm actually crying over this story. I was is shock when they put John on the screen and I realize he survived. When he came back home and said 'I'm done', I was so happy for him for getting to that place after planning and planning a revenge. Finally he let go of the anger and returned to his life... this family is amazing. And I was so anxious as they kept interviewing his wife alone, I kept wondering the entire time if they had split up at some point, and that last moment where they're together on the beach, that was the happiest part for me. They truly all healed as a family and managed to stay together and live a good life despite what had happened.
After seeing John, I'm absolutely surprised. What they can do to put people back together again is miraculous. Amazing.
Ruth Elizabeth the beard
I am filled with admiration for this family.
It’s horrifying how the father ended up being punished by his community for being brave.
I applaud his fearlessness; never compromising and refusing to capitulate to the bullying from the psychopath Reine.
His beautiful wife remained loyal to her husband and their children throughout it all! Such a superb family .
Society is very cruel, everyone is ignorant when something like this happens.

Have you ever watched "I survived" (I believe it's on the A&E network)? It's similar to this show, only better...in my opinion anyway.
Sons took after the father. Had his wife killed for the money. Yes, got away with it. A garbage family for sure
Can we appreciate the wife for a moment: she stuck with her husband and family through him almost dying, distancing himself during his recovery and constant anxiety if they will live through to the next day. That’s what a great mother and wife should be
That's not how just a WIFE should be but a significant other PERIOD

Yes, a "good" woman is a very rare find. Very valuable, indeed.
weird not sure if it's the cold or what (it is snowing outside) but your words gave me chills. Beautiful Avalon Park
The truth is that it is hard to find a good man or a good woman.
Both are elusive.
Incredible woman. Like my mom, who raised and cared for her baby boy, who was severely disabled from birth 1984 thru death 2007. She took _immaculate_ care of him, and went through SO MUCH. My dad wanted to put my brother in a home, he never would've lived and had the love he got if that happened he wasn't supposed to live to be 1 year old and he made it to 22.
There should be awards for people like his wife, and my mom.

What a beautiful family . They endured the worst of the worse and came out survivors. You are all true heroes ! Bless you !
It’s incredible how selfless, unique and courageous each one of these people are and together they are just an awe-inspiring family. The definition of which a family should be. They were failed by so many that should have had their backs but instead of holding on to bitterness due to that fact they continued through life always having each other’s backs. Just the simple fact that John couldn’t even allow himself to go under until he heard his family was safe despite the tremendous amount of pain I’m sure he was enduring speaks volumes.
Can you say the same for the police department???
Kellie is a born leader. She and the children were very smart and strong at such a young age.
This was such a touching story, such a loving family. So glad he survived.
Amen 🙏
I saw a longer show about this several years ago, which went more into the back story of who shot him. Apparently, Melvin was a local goon who had a lifelong reputation as a violent psychopath. His whole family are the kind of people you don't want living anywhere near you. So glad the family were survivors, who were able to beat the odds and get on with their lives. True Evil does exist out there and sometimes is passed down genetically.
Giving the damage this man encountered his voice to me was well understandable. Much love and respect this John and his family
I thought so, too. He was very easy to understand.
This was one of the best ones I've seen!!
The fact that they had to give up Tigger for Max and that Max was aggressive towards the some members of the family meant that “training center” didn’t properly train Max before handing him over to that family. This whole story is just heartbreaking.
I know! That's just another heartbreak for the family. They lost so much. And imagine how their dog missed their family and didn't understand why they gave him away. 😢
Thats what I thought too. Very reckless of them to hand over a badly trained dog that could have harmed the children, and very sad they had to give the Beagle away. A good trainer could have trained it to be protective and a loving member of the family and become friends with the other dog.
“They wanted to do a voiceover for me, I am hard to understand. But this is my voice, and this is my story.”
A literal goat 🐐
I thought he spoke very well. I could understand him just fine. He is amazing, and his wife as well. They were just a beautiful family.
The fact that both the father and his family survived is a true testament that good can triumph over evil. As long as people are willing to make sacrifices. I do think the legal system and local police department should have done more for the officer and his family. It's scary to know a clan of criminals could control a town with impunity and evade the justice system.
i just love how even tho he was bleeding out and in pain, his only priority was his family🥺
They did such a good job repairing his face, I could understand him completely and he looks great. Seeing him talking made my day after watching the first part of the story.
When the man said he had a badge I screamed don't believe him coz I thought he took the badge off John's corpse 😳😳
Ik I legit thought it was the stupidest thing to answer cuz it could’ve been someone pretending
@Jo Pearson Um, at that point in the story, they had not even revealed that he had not died in the end. However, I agree that it was very obvious he was not a corpse since he was at the hospital having surgery, which they said. But the Vardy may have been thrown off by them all talking about him in the past tense during that part of the story. I suspect the writers did that to throw us all off and make us think he didn't survive until they were ready to reveal that he was still, in fact, alive.
I thought that too for a minute.
EXACTLY WHAT I SAID. I WENT "DONT DO IT ITS A LIEEEE!!!!!" but then it was true and i wenr "knew it all along"
Vardy Party what do you mean corpse?
Shame on the town that abandoned the officer after what he and his family went through. Some one could have taken that guy down.
The family is amazing.
Sooo creepy . This episode is well done . Suspenseful . This poor family . That niece is a force ! High - five ...she protected them . Bless this family
This is absolutely terrifying. Kelly did a great job with her cousins that night. And what a wonderful protective father. Wow
