@@soulless2962 oh. yes of course. I meant the fact thay prior to this moment of capture these guys had confided in this individual about this which should have and did alarm him. If that makes sense.
Just imagining to secretly record a killer as he confesses to me, and pretend to still be his friend whilst keeping myself together sounds brutally hard. The person who did so is a hero
When Liam left Anthony's car (right after stating he felt nothing about the prior talk of "killing a bunch of people"), then came back and Anthony rolled down the window....I wonder if he momentarily thought "oh sh!t, he's going to shoot me!!"?
I've figured something out like this myself before. Kept it to myself because the last time I tried reporting something i was falsely charged and beaten by pigs. A lot more people would come forward if they weren't so scared of cops. Thankfully they figured it out on their own eventually, but they'd know a lot more if they weren't out to fuck everyone
@Jordan Banks He didn't. I friend like Liam doesn't deserve even a little LOYALTY. How can you consider Liam a Friend and being betrayed? If he could kill Sarah cold-bloodedly, can he not do it to Anthony? If you are more concerned about LIAM being betrayed than thinking of Anthony's welfare and safety, you are of the same kind with LIAM and PRESTON who never deserved LOYALTY and can never be considered a FRIEND.
@@markmike7933 you're right, it was me who said it. He did imply it could have been done better though. Never said I could do a better job but sure, go ahead and take a stab at my character, that's really big of you.

Wild that this guy is there in the process of killing his friend, and he's judging the dog for not doing anything about it. "What kind of dog does that?" Bro, what kind of person does that?
@@bbycherub2420 The poor dog was also in a crate so there wasn't anything it could. It's obvious the poor doggie was traumatized watching that horrific scene.
I’d call it poetic justice that Sarah was betrayed by two of her closest friends, who were then betrayed by someone they thought they could trust. Huge props to Anthony for doing the right thing and standing up for Sarah. RIP Sarah 🙏
I wouldn’t call these two her close friends ever they betrayed her all for $10,000 and then they get busted for it. I’ve seen this kind of crap happened so many times on TH-cam murder.
It's not rare for lonely teenage girls to consider relationships with people around them closer than they in fact are. Around of her age I thought that I had closer bond with friends than it was in reality. Most of teenage "friends" move on and won't even recognize you on street years later
Yeah I remember my cousin is the one that got the confession, we used to babysit Liam when he was a kid and his identical twin brother seamus, and I are all still remember her best friend Courtney worked at the pizzeria I worked at and I was working that night I must have passed that bridge about 50 times and saw Sarah's car and I was like why is Sarah's car parked with the hazards on? I knew her car because she would always come into the pizzeria, but this was just like really bizarre seeing her hazards on and the car just sitting there, I mean all night I was like why is it still sitting there? I figured maybe her battery died or something and I was like thinking maybe I should see if she needs help nobody in the car and I was like wow this is bizarre and we find out what happened to her, so many conspiracy theories about her death like her running to Canada and all of this stuff, because she always loved canada, but my cousin did the right thing by getting that confession I'm so proud of him for that❤ that cop the police chief that was caught drunk and belligerent on camera towards his sergeant? That is my cousin lenny, that's the same town this all happened in and the sergeant major that had the body camera on that was recording my cousin being drunk, is also my cousin, it's a really small town over here so a lot of stuff can happen but Sarah's case was probably the most disturbing especially when I babysit Liam and Sarah I would see every other day😢😢 this is so awkward seeing my town that I live in right now all over the Internet like this, I haven't really watched any of these videos because obviously I am a local and I really just feel terrible about what happened to her, I'm just so proud of my cousin anthony, really really proud of him he's a really good kid and ever since he was really little I remember teaching him guitar and everything and then he became a Content creator, short horror films Etc comma this was a really really really hard thing to process I can never forget it
Man, the friend who recorded the confession had some balls on him. He was as smooth as a skilled interrogator and Liam just spilled the beans and told him everything.
I’m soooo glad Anthony wasn’t actually wearing a wire, I was so stressed out when Liam said he just needed to check him for one. They hid the camera well, thank goodness.
100%. 12 years ago I got that knock at the door from the cops. They were vaguely asking odd questions about my housemate, who I'd last seen the previous afternoon when he left for work. They came to my door three times asking questions without telling me what was going on, and thats literally all I was asking nonstopuntil they told me he'd been found dead.
I have heard several times that trash talking a victim is one of the signs interrogators look for in rape crimes investigations because the perpetrator goes over the top insulting victims where innocent people don't say much.
I mean, he's 100% right with that statement. Most people have useless ''tough'' dogs like Pit Bulls, German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Dobermans... You name it. You get what you buy. If you want REAL protection, buy a REAL dog... You would have to stab or shoot my persian mastiff and my CAO until they stopped moving because they would not stop mauling you until you killed them. If you are getting murdered and your dog is fucking watching you get killed you have wrong dog breed my guy... The killer is 100% right with that one...
Yeah absolutely. But think about it; if someone is evil enough to murder their childhood friend in cold blood, then trashing her to detectives afterwards to save himself is really nothing to the person. This is the kind of person you really have to be careful with, and it's sadly why I tend to not trust in people 100%. You just never know who's a psychopath that will befriend you, make you feel comfortable with them, and when you least expect it, do something terrible to you. It sucks because I'm the kind of person that thinks that people do bad things, but they're good deep down. Not people like this guy. This is evil incarnate right there, and they can hide it so well.
The undercover friend in the car was a brave man. That last second where the murderer walked back to the car because he thought he lost his keys was eerie. The friend must have thought he might be returning to kill him.
I would have made assumptions (i’m usually wrong and would have been again) and made a misstep and wound up dead. I panic at the slightest opportunity it seems. Ugh I’m an embarrassment.
So glad we have people like Anthony here who put himself in complete danger just to do the right thing. A real hero if you ask me. And not to mention how well he acted in that moment. You can tell he’s trying his hardest to not get murdered by these two absolute freak shows
yea but with his foreknowledge of the Liams Joke/Intent/Plan he coulda did better and maybe Sarah wouldnt have to go like this... all hindsight now and at least the right Perps was caught ...
I don’t feel like he did it from goodness of his heart. More like he knew what Liam told him and he and his family was in danger. He wanted Liam locked up for his safety. It’s sad she was surrounded by heartless ‘friends’
I absolutely love when you call out the professionals for their mistakes. It honestly tells how some cases could be unsolved from professionals not doing their job correctly.

Oh my god I wanted to throw up when that moron started in with "that's the thing about a heist bro" like shut up, this isn't Ocean 11, you sneak-attacked your childhood friend who trusted you so you could steal her cash to buy a bunch of drugs 🥴🥴🥴
This girl was a nutcase. The fact she threatened to kill herself over one of her friends girlfriends is the most pathetic thing I’ve ever heard personally. Something was seriously mentally f’d up with this girl…she wasn’t just some innocent sweetheart like all the simps in this comment section want to believe. I used to know girls like this… they’re always crazy. They’re parasocially obsessed with TH-camrs (and her friends gf’s in this case as well), they are usually narcissistic and mentally screwed theater kids that think their sh*t doesn’t stink, but at the same time will threaten to harm themselves for attention. Everyone in this case, from the victim, the officers, to the suspects, all just seem like the worst kinds of people.
That really stood out, and I’d bet was this guys whole angle - trying to portray that he was some slick, seasoned thief, well versed in “big scores” - not a dope who killed his friend for a bag of duff money.
That guy was an AMERICAN NEGRO of course no credit, except when it's a crime he is suspect of.🤔 meanwhile the real culprit doesn't bat an eye while telling his horrific tale of blood Chillin murder....
then the cops had the audacity to say "we've been working really hard to figure it out and we firgured it out" when they just got lucky af because someone who claimed not to be a rat was indeed a rat.
Body cam footage, interrogation footage, scene exploration footage...I don't think TH-cam has seen this level of thoroughness before. You guys really leave no stone unturned. It is a deeply tragic story, but one can't help but marvel at the phenomenal coverage by the EWU Team. Wow!
@jenkinscrowe the footage is in like 34p, the mugsbots are clearly taken. of course they dont look the same, and how could they recreate an entire interrogation?
That last interviewer was very impressive. It's such a difference watching a professional who covers all angles to make sure they have a strong case; he was so thorough.
Think about this. The guy that murdered her said in the very beginning “I made it seem like we were better friends than we actually were so they wouldn’t question my behavior with her” and yet the “friend” recording got the murder to believe they were close enough for him to think “Hey I can tell him I murdered someone and he won’t report me in”.
can't help but think certain people are just the type that murder. They talk with that exact tone Liam used and always use the same tactics of manipulation. And they love to confess things, they just can't keep their true identity hidden all the time, it just wants to leak and that's why Liam told him.
Liam told the guy recording him that he was planning it long before he did it. So the guy knew already. Everyone is so quick to pat the guy who recorded him on the back but he didn't tell the cops until months later that Liam had told him he was going to kill her.
I kinda understand why the detective was so unprofessional. They didn't have any evidence that a homicide was committed and cases like that usually end in finding out that the missing person had committed suicide, had an accident or had run away on his/her own will. But still the officer should have kept an open mind and, as harsh as it sounds, treated everyone as a potential murderer until they're cleared out.
I live in ocean grove, Neptune township I know all of these police, city and township belmar ,wall,abd manasquan as well. Some are tough and some have a bug up their ass but they’re all good people. Plus this doesn’t happen around here, there’s are shootings in Neptune city in the hoody parts but stuff like this doesn’t happen around here. There was a police officer Phil Sidelle ,did some crazy shit in Neptune city, I didn’t know this cop but he deserves to rot in hell for what he did.
This whole thing honestly breaks my heart. Her mom left her money after dying from cancer, she finds it, and is betrayed by her friends. It's just so sad.
All because she didn’t trust banks and hoarded physical cash. How ironic… if she had put it in the bank, CDs, stocks, bonds, etc, her daughter would probably still be alive.
I love it that this channel called out these police officers for their unprofessional and incompetent behavior from the jump. It was almost cringe worthy watching how incompetent they were. Completely in over their head.
Agreed. And the way they spoke to Liam, they way they spoke about Sarah... just really making it hard to find something redeemable here. It's okay to be bad at your job - so long as your job doesn't deal with life or death matters, public safety, etc.
Cops are like it is in every other job. You have some Cops who are incompetent, some are average and some are very good Cops. The good news is that Cops can screw up and screw up, but the Guilty Parties only have to make ONE mistake and they are busted.
The friend that reported it deserves a medal! He was so brave and his acting skills were amazing! Also I’ve seen this story about 5-6 times and u gave way more in this one video than all of them combined!
@@Anonymous-lq2bs so your saying... if you were killed no one would care enough to let others know? youd just decompose in your living room? weird flex but okay
wow, it's amazing how a man who's never been trained in interrogation got a confession out of him just by asking what happened, was able to get all the details without it looking suspicious, and never gave away it was being recorded. meanwhile every cop and detective in this case seemed to be determined to get as little information as possible and fuck everything up for themselves. props to Anthony for doing the job of an entire police department.
honestly liam was ready to talk and tell somebody hes been waiting to tell that dude what actually happened he didnt do much because liam was already willing to talk and tell that dude what actually happened.
His story played right into the stereotypes most people who become cops have. You can even hear it in the things they say in the bodycams and interrogation footage. They filed her away in their heads as "one of these weirdo internet nerds" and all their ridiculous Boomer type ideas like they're asking about livesteram drug parties as if they think that's actually a thing.
Imagine just how much pain the father must be feeling...Losing his wife and then his daughter, I really wish nothing like this will ever happen to anyone anymore.
What if she knew and was covering for her son. She didnt really seem like she knew or the type of person to do something like that though. Young men seem more likely then an older mom, but only God knows everything.
If she was sure he was innocent, she wouldn’t try to get attorney for him and stop investigators from doing their job. I’m not saying she knew or anything but if you gonna feel bad for someone, it should be Sarah💔the father💔,grandmother 💔or the the mother💔who passed from cancer😭
@@freshxan Innocent or not, get a lawyer! Once the police are talking to you about a crime - especially if they’re talking to you as one of the suspects - they’re not your friends. No matter how much they might try and seem like you are, no matter how much you’ve been told to co-operate with them. They aren’t interested in helping you to prove that you’re innocent, they’re not interested in helping you clear up an innocent misunderstanding - that’s not their job, their job is to solve the case and hand it over to the prosecutors and if it’s really easy to just say “hey, we think Bob did it” and not look at other options?They’re going to charge Bob and declare the case closed. Your lawyer’s job is to make sure that you don’t mis-speak or try to answer questions where you don’t remember the answer or aren’t sure what you’re being asked about. They’re there to make sure you’re not trying to clear up “simple misunderstandings”, and they’re there to make sure that the police and the prosecutor are doing their jobs and actually prove that you’re the best suspect for the crime.
This is definitely not Sarah’s fault, but a good reminder to everyone: NEVER brag about getting large chunks of cash, even to friends and family members. It’s on a need-to-know basis only. It can bring out the worst in people, even if it isn’t as extreme as this case.

You got that right. Have you ever seen one of your friends talk bad about another mutual friend? It makes you wonder what the guy says about YOU when you're not around. You have to pay close attention to what other people do and say, otherwise you could become a victim.
I feel so bad for Sarah's family, especially her dad. He lost his wife to a disease and now his precious daughter to a psycho murderer. I hope he finds some peace. Rest in peace 🕊️ Sarah 💖
I can't imagine.... He knew Sarah since they were five or six years old. How evil could someone be to do this to anyone, let alone someone you have grown up with? Bless Anthony for having the courage and intuition to record this psychopath.
Because there are a lot of people that are born evil…they are born with the devil inside of their brain, the devil controls their brain, thoughts, and actions. Whoever says that people are not born evil are evil themselves and try to hide make excuses for others who are demons in the flesh.
I can’t even describe the amount of respect I have for the dude who secretly recorded. Just seeing the recordings made me feel anxious. That man has balls…
I know right. What a fuckin hero. He was interviewed by police the first week of December when she went missing and didn't tell cops until January 24th that Liam had told him he was going to kill her during Thanksgiving a few weeks before he killed her.
@@johnv6806 I don’t think so. Sometimes it can take some time until you get your shit together and come out with the truth. Especially when the matter is serious.

Besides the respect it gives, it just makes for a better story. Twin Peaks is as good as it is because Laura Palmer is the main character despite being dead the entire show.
quite honestly: I could really do without. I find it much harder to listen to what they did to somebody who's not only an abstract 'victim' but an actual person in my head. The casual way they describe how she was slowly killed over half an hour and then basically treated like a bag of trash made me literally feel sick to my stomach. And normally I'm someone who can watch the goriest horror movies or something isis decapitation videos without batting an eye. But hearing those details about her reminds me of people i actually know and love. And I cant watch this without imagining them being in this situation, which is simply horrifying.
How can you kill someone you have known since first grade for a few dollars? This is the most terrifying murder case I have ever heard. I am very sorry about what Sarah went through.
@@StevencrowderIsacoward Killing someone because you want the money they have, has nothing to do with capitalism and everything to do with the person viewing their victim as prey. Some people are predators.
Children have murdered their parents for money. Parents have killed their children for insurance. Siblings have killed one another to gain sole possessions of trust funds. The list is endless. Money has motivated more killers than anything else.
I can’t imagine how terrifying it must have been for Anthony when Liam immediately suspected he was being recorded and patted Anthony down only to miss the recorder on the dashboard instead
You are right. Also, I know how ALL of my neighbors park. It is side effect of living in a complex and just seeing them come and go every single day multiple times a day. It is strange the details we know about people but do not realize until we need to call upon the information.
That was funny tbh (patting down his friend, totally ignoring the (I assume) dashcam!) Typical of a dumb psychopath, who thinks they are far smarter than they are.
Sickening, this poor girl just lost her mother and was depressed, then her "friends" decide to brutally murder her for her deceased moms money. What is more frightening is that they would of probably gotten away with such a despicable act if not for Liam being a complete idiot and confessing to someone.
In my mid 20s an older friend of mine told me "quiet money is good money." Fifteen years has past and I see that its the closest thing to the truth after all these years ...in fact you can look like you have money, I see no point in people knowing you have any at all.
@@michellemcbee5168 Same. I guess it just depends on your faith and all. I think it's a nice idea personally but all I can say is optimistically speaking I agree with you. Likewise, when this monster passes I hope either Hell is real or reincarnation is real and he comes back for his next incarnation as a cockroach.
The fact that Liam referred to this as a “heist” to his friend (the one who filmed), just shows how he probably fantasized about this as if it was some kind action movie. He didn’t see it as murdering his innocent friend and stealing everything she had, he saw it as a “heist”. It’s fucking disgusting.
I took it as him downplaying what he did to her. He didn’t see a friend. Even the way he speaks of her to investigators shows his complete lack of empathy. Calling her a lesbian, depressed, suicidal, tomboyish and saying she had no friends other than him and other guys. Almost like he was trying to call her a loser or see her as lesser than. Justifying his murder in some twisted way. He just saw her as a means to get rich quick.
Liam patted him down too! Imagine the stress sweat of being patted down, knowing they are being recorded from a device just as close as if you were wearing a wire.
@@John-Doe-Yo when he first gets into the car & starts talking he says it's not personal he's just gotta check. He pats him down looking for a wire, but thank God it's somehow in the dash instead.
He should be lucky coz it must have crossed both of their minds to carry out the second murder, and they would have done it if there was not so much attention on them by the police
I like how you critique the officers and detectives on what they could’ve done better. I like how you pointed out the mistakes and behaviors, it’s really cool!
I disagree with the assessment. Giving casual report makes people more willing to go in to the station to give a formal interview easier. And if kids are worried that they are talking to a cop when they mention underage alcohol or illegal substance use, they won’t be cooperative unless the cop basically says “I’m cool don’t worry about it.” The analysis is coming from a really removed perspective. Even the leading questions that he said “yeah” yo can be challenged later since passive interaction isn’t something he’s going to remember later, but it does instill a sense of overconfidence in the suspect. Also during a missing persons search, little clues are more important to finding someone that may still be alive than making sure you treat everyone like a murder suspect.
My brother-in-law is an attorney. He taught my kids and then my grand kids that you always ask for an attorney. It doesn’t matter if you are as innocent as a new born babe, no ifs, ands, or buts, you answer no questions without your attorney present especially after getting read your Miranda Rights…requiring an attorney to protect your rights doesn’t indicate guilt, it levels the playing field. If the officers can lie to you, can claim others are pointing you out as a suspect, you need an attorney too safeguard you from the officers.
Absolutely. Preston could have likely been free of any charges or acquitted due to lack of evidence had he not snitched on himself. What good are our constitutional rights if we just voluntarily waive them?
Her dying Mother left her the money so she would be taken care of, then her daughter is killed over having that same money. Sarah told her so called childhood friend about the money in confidence, then he turned into a monster. She knew him since 1st grade... you think you know somebody...you really don't. That's frightening!

@bloxycola3 yea, I think he sees those of us who are showing concern for the pup are somehow "weaker" than the rest. His LACK of SYMPATHY for a living creature just shows us how TRULY INFANTILE HE IS.
It's crazy seeing how openly and in detail both Liam and Preston talk about the murder, considering other interrogations, where the suspects barely let anything out, even when confessing. Tragic.
Liam’s first contact with the police was really telling to me. He didn’t seem the least bit concerned about her and he had an answer for everything. He conveniently lost his phone, “grandmas sick” he was more worried about getting a story out.
Yeah, the missing phone and he said he saw her earlier and she said she wanted to leave for Canada. He's trying to set a narrative, but it all sounds off.
what state is this taking place in? I'm just curious what way she would make her way to Canada and what province she would of come in through. I live near Toronto and there been a few fugitives from USA who came here(Canada) but that was to get away from cops not to begin a new life but it's really hard to come here to stay when she could easily just go to another state,no boarder to cross,or visas to apply for. I mean I love it here in Canada but just didn't buy someone who wanted out of there town to go to a whole new Country instead of just going to a different state.

@@NaNook490 Psychopaths get bored with life easily, so they start doing insane things just to get a little thrill and escape their boredom unfortunately.
When describing Sarah at the beginning and her art being shown, I recognized her art at 1:47 as being from a screencap from season 2 of Carmilla -- a webseries I absolutely love. Knowing this...my heart sank. I used to be very active in this community and may have come across this art years and years ago, back when the show was on. Knowing she was a Creampuff as well... (the name for the fandom) it truly breaks my heart. Rest in Peace, Sarah. I won't forget you. UPDATE: Oh, God. She's even dressed as Carmilla for vidcon 2016. I owned the same box she's holding and even had the same cosplay for my own halloween, in 2017. I also saw Grace, Mamrie, and Hannah live years ago. This hits so close to home for me. It makes me wonder if I've even met people that knew her, as this is a small community. I may have to finish this one later -- makes me pretty sick to reflect on right now. Thank you all for the work you do and for bringing Sarah's story to light.
I know how you feel. Several years ago in my country, there was this big murder case that's now refered to as the Pokemon Murder. The young woman who was murdered was very active in the geek community in our small country and I had interacted with her on FB groups. However, when the whole thing was still being investigated, I didn't realize it was her, because she was active on FB under the name Bobbi Morse and her profile pic was her in Mockingbird cosplay. This was because Bobbi Morse/Mockingbird and Clint Barton/Hawkeye were her favorite Marvel characters. I only realized the victim was her when a picture of her in her Mockingbird cosplay circulated in the media. This happened 7 years ago and I still have a Mockingbird action figure up on my shelf in honour of her.
This teenager that got this psycho on camera is amazing. The smarts and guts he had to not only record the guy but he came forward. He was cool and calm enough to not act different for his friend to just vomit this terrifying thing he did that he's describing like it was a fun night out is amazing. That kid is just incredible and brave.
Especially when Liam told him that Marcus was conspiring to kill him if he knew anything about the situation. Props on him for being able to keep his cool. I personally wouldn't take that very well and see Liam as an imidiate threat and act as such.

@@destinationunknown4959 No had been home. Her dad was out of town and her grandmother was elsewhere being cared for. What that poor pup had to witness.. 😭
The fact that he said he choked her out and the last thing she said was his name is chilling. For someone to do this to a long-time friend is pure evil. How can you look at your friend and easily stuff a shirt down her throat. This story is so disturbing especially since they both went about their day as if they didn't just kill their long-time friend.
such a vile murder , you can tell how he looked down on her for being dorky and innocent, trash talking her to the feds after strangling her in her own house and throwing her off a bridge for a lousy 10 gs , what the hell goes through someones mind to murder a sweet, loving girl . and to think he was boasting to Anthony, like hes some type of badass, hope his booty hurts in prison
Hearing the scumbag complain to his friend that he didn’t get enough money made me sick. He had ZERO remorse for killing her. He only cared about not getting as much money as he wanted. 😡
If that surprises you, you don't know much about human nature..... That's how you get PTSD..... Listen to professor Jordan Peterson the famous psychologist on the subject of how you get PTSD...... Very interesting.
@Conquest oof, that's a pretty morose, nihilistic world view you got there. Life's not so bad, buddy. Cheer up! And for the record, there's a difference between people being selfish and people murdering people for money.
@Conquest This is the real world sir, and statistically speaking most people don't go around killing people at all. Most people do care for other people. Even if it wasn't the norm to care for people caring is still the right thing and being completely apathetic to others is wrong.
A huge majority of murderes never get caught. Lots of people also just disappear and nobody will ever hear about them again. These movies and shows have led us to believe that this isn't true but it is if you dig up the statistics. Chilling. The guy in this video is clearly a moron who couldn't stop bragging about what he had done.
The fact that the friend with the recording got more information out of Liam than all of those supposed detectives and cops combined is quite shocking. Heart goes out to Sarah's loved ones.
More comfortable to talk to a " homie, buddy " bc it was PLANNED. This kid is not a kid this is a master mind and if he would have been older and wiser I'm afraid there would have been more then one victim. That poor girl had no idea that was her BEST FRIEND I am so sick after watching this
Is it though? . Lol people will obviously always speak in more detail to someone they trust. Police interrogate to convict. There’s no trust there. He just thought he had a friend “to vent to”. Thankfully his friend had better morals.
@@hiaky3663 he was CRATED! Poor thing was probably scared feeling the violence going on around him - there's anger energy and then there is straight up Murder Energy - that would put anyone in a frozen state
@hollandc147, she didn't have a strained relationship with her dad. That was a lie Liam made up. Did you not see the warmth and humor in their frequent texts to each other?
@@monsterautomobile He said he was strangling her 30 minutes before she died. Horrific. And this was a female childhood friend who trusted him. He certainly has a very very evil heart. Let's hope he feels remorse now that he has a lifetime to think about it. Unfortunately he is more likely to be thinking of revenge against the guy who recorded him.
Exactly! If the friend hadn't come forward about Liam's recorded confession, those two criminals would have gotten away with it. I can only imagine the amount of cases that were left cold due to how these investigations were being handled.
I actually dislike that aspect of this one. Prior to the interrogation room the narrator 'critiques' the detectives so many times it is irritating, imo. It isnt subtle at all, its overt. Its done more than half the narration in the first half of the video. It might be because of when this one was made, two years ago is a long time... The more recent videos do more appropriate levels of criticism of the detectives.
@@breezyn I was looking for a comment like this, thank you. Hindsight is 20/20, easy to criticise when you know the truth and the tells. I think he was being unfair, and I'm sure the investigator, who seemed skilled, was doing everything for a reason. Just didn't work out perfectly this time.
Trust me it’s not. People aren’t the same anymore. Literally had friends I called brothers turn on me few days ago all cause I wasn’t down with going to go harm someone. Even tried paying me as if that made a difference. I still stand on morals & no mount of $ would buy me. What’s right is right & what’s wrong is wrong. The universe has a law of karma that never goes unaccounted for. Even if it takes years.
People, never tell anybody you have Cash, even your family, there's a lot pieces of trash that will kill you without remorse. Imagine the horror she felt while the person she trust was strangling her. Rip Sarah.
Yes this is a really good point. Also deposit it at a bank ASAP. Even if the bills are old and beat up the bank can send them to the Treasury Dept and they will replace the bills. Might not have access to that money until after Treasury has assessed and replaced them, but they'll be safe and not accessible to someone trying to steal them. Plus the new bills will have tracible serial numbers.
And u can’t predict who that person will tell and by six degrees u bound to supply a wannabe thief “heist” or wannabe gangster with info that could lead to a tragedy like this. I feel so sorry for this woman and her father
I watched a lot of these interrogations and these were by far the worst detectives I've ever seen. The inability to press on inconsistencies in both Liam and Preston's stories was extremely irritating. Thank God someone did all of the police work by getting a confession or this case may never have been solved.
So true, man. Shockingly bad detectives. I know it's easy to think this is a case of "I learned how to do this job on TH-cam!", but honestly I think someone who has watched a few episodes off this channel would be better at their job than they were.
Thank you EWU for pointing out the failings of these investigators. Very informative and important to note. I appreciate your transparency in this matter. Usually you explain what the investigators are doing so we understand, but this shows your unbiased approach in that you’re not afraid to criticize and point out where things could have been done better. Police officers are human after all. I trust your commentary now more than ever!
See I think it's rather the opposite. There are times the narrator says the detectives should have done this or that and then later on, when the detectives do ask then it was like oh they should have done that sooner. How exactly is that a mistake or error? Seems like a lot of the corrections directed at the police are more like suggestions then actual mistakes.
@@jakeg7033 it all depends on the case. In the case of my brothers kidnapping, robbery, murder, desecrations of a corpse, premeditated robbery including a weapon, possible racism that's when the FBI got involved as my brother was part indigenous American although he was highly educated and was working at a salvation army halfway house for ex-cons the FBI thought maybe these men who kidnapped him possibly thought he had money. He did not. My brother was dying from what they call adult shaken baby syndrome. Even though he had put himself through college earning two bachelor's degrees in pre-med science earning a full scholarship to med school it was all denied him due to the injuries he was dying from. He lived and the basement of a large mansion in a small apartment as a light caretaker. The kidnappers misunderstood when they gave him rides from the shelter and thought he must live in that big house. Instead of listening to the rest of our adoptive family who loved him adored him and swore that he would never walk off into a freezing cold winter night committing suicide. Sadly, the police officers listen to our horrible abusive adopted mother who'd caused his injuries. She said oh! My son was suicidal. My brother was not suicidal a day in his life. If anything he would have waited until after Christmas day as the whole family was planning on this last Christmas with them no matter what they were all trying to make it to see him one last time at Christmas from as far away as Minnesota to the West Coast to see him. Except for her & my father who had not planned on going 2,000 miles to the family get-together . No-one had invited them or informed them of getting together to spend one last Christmas with their beloved adopted grandson nephew uncle cousin etc. He was well liked in the community. Everyone was disturbed at the way our adoptive mother was talking about him. Our father never raised his voice to stop her just like he never raised his hand either to stop the abuse. Sadly the police believed everything she said, instead of what even I his own birth sister raised with him said. Years later I spoke to a police officer who had inherited the case. He stated he knew there were mistakes. The previous officers had relied too much on our mother's interview, instead of the people who knew him closest. Those who'd been around him for the last 15 years of his life. This man still held out hope that my brother was still alive but everyone in the family including members of the family that had cared about him where he died knew he was dead. The killer had even bragged! Unfortunately he bragged in the sheriff's jail. In the same county that my brother lived and many of his close friends & relatives worked for the sheriff's department. Twenty years after his disappearance I wanted to open the case again and my aunt a big me not to. She let me know with fear in her eyes that the man everyone knew responsible for my brother's death wouldn't be found alive on the face of this Earth. I would be opening a painful wound. From that moment on I have accepted sometimes the police just can't do it right because people with big mouths, thinking they're helping, that say oh the person was depressed, the person was this, the person was that, muddy the investigation to the point the police have no way to find a point to start from. Now I try to withhold as far as an opinion until the end of the show has been done and the facts have been presented.
No doubt! I felt like the narrator was inside my head! Every time a leading or closed-ended question was asked, and at several points where they were trying to ‘buddy up’, I thought how horrible a job they were doing…then the narrator said same. Lol
as soon as Liam randomly asked in questioning, “if she had jumped off the bridge, wouldn’t her body be all the way out in the ocean by now?” I knew that’s where he put her. which leads me to say I’m utterly disgusted by the incompetence of the detectives that were on this case. amazing video and narrator, worth the 3 hrs
When he said “she told me she was going to Canada” I knew something was up with him. These people tend to say things like that to sway others into believing that the person had a desire to leave and go far away with hopes it would throw the police off their trail.
I can't commend Anthony enough for not only being willing to film this moron but also for keeping his cool and acting like he was concerned and cared about him.. great job anthony
He knew the guy was planning to kill her and didn't do anything about it! Don't commend that POS. That bullshit about him thinking it was a "movie idea"? Give me a fucking break. He only came forward when he became worried Liam might come after him or his family.
@@Vichedges yeah except you don't know that forsure. I've talked about doing all kinds of wild and sometimes fucked up shit with no intention of ever actually doing it. Especially when I was younger and MUCH more hot headed. Although you might be right and he only did it to serve himself. In that case he's just like pretty much every other human being on the planet. The point is that he did it. Idrc about his motivations.
She told them about the money so they probably figured they’d be the first suspects but if she ded she can’t say “I think I know who stole my money” to the police
@@zatrat5696 I doubt she would have thought that. People do randomly rob houses. Unless they had been acting sketchy which is not unlikely, I guess. But that’s how most people do it…set up a robbery, if they find out someone has cash. It’s hard to make it stick, just because you told them about it. Most robbers don’t want a murder on their hands.
It's spite it goes hand in hand with these people taking isn't enough it all about the spite points with satan I knew loads of cartridges robbers house breakers a .ot of what they did was sheer spite and envy of others
Someone needs to check on the Father. His wife and daughter are gone, and he’s probably questioning his whole existence. I could tell by the text exchange in the beginning he was adamantly in her life every hour of the day. Great breakdown, JCS would be proud.
As soon as Liam was saying Sarah wanted to leave to Canada to get away from her dad. Also stating those two fought frequently. I knew Liam was throwing blame on others, and this clearly shows that he clearly did this.
It's disturbing to think they all knew each other from childhood, and all it took was her mentioning she had an undisclosed amount of cash for this twisted fiend to destroy so many lives. Obviously there's a lesson here for everyone. Keep your financial affairs to yourself, "for the love of money is the root of all evil".
Lessons is don't date murderous individuals, but obviously we don't hold them accountable as normal humans beings would because they are adults who are naïve and easily exploited I guess? Maybe we need to start teaching people how to not be naive, as psychopaths will always exist.
@@maaz322 how do u know If someone is a “murderous individual” if they don’t even display that type of behaviour. Anyone could do it if they’re sick in they’re head enough even without displaying the behaviour of it.
I watched this as if Sarah were my own daughter. God bless her parents with every ounce of my sorrow, sympathy and love. I just can’t imagine that pain. 🙏😪
Ending someone's life over money, just so you can get messed up on drugs and party it up...what a piece of trash. The fact it took over half an hour to kill her is one of the most disturbing things, I can't imagine what was going on in her mind, probably felt like an eternity. Hope he lives a long, long time in prison and drops his soap daily.
@@kodymeyers9126 he mentioned her releiving her bladder and having convultions, he said he choked her from behind. most likely was a rear naked choke, the purpose being cutting off the blood flow to the brain via several major arteries in the neck. when you loose consciousness this way it is common to see things in quick flashes and although you cannot feel or realize it those quick flashes are you body jerking or convulsing. ive seen and experienced this myself. she was unconcious but still breathing he also mentioned he stuffed a rag down her throat probly to stop her from breathing this likely caused her to vomit. pardon the spelling maybe you can make more sence of it other than "I know everything"
"I didn't even get a 1/4 of her money" was the only regret Liam had....no remorse, just disgust. Scarey to know people like this walk the strreet, and there is no way to know who they are.
I guess you never really get to know anyone even a "friend" from childhood. If I were to meet Liam, I'd think that he's a normal guy. Mind boggling case.
@@kwiz3502 Lol no kidding! I used to edit skate and BMX videos, and our general rule of thumb was always that 1 minute of finalized video would take about an hour to edit. So a 10 minute video, was 10 hours of editing. If you use that scale here, that's AT LEAST 187 hours of editing.. and that's not including all the research or voice over work. Anyone who has done an ounce of video editing can really appreciate all the work that's put into these super high quality and professional videos.
@@mintyfresh569 Ay I appreciate you asking!! I still have my old videos somewhere, we used to upload a lot of them on Vimeo.

I'm 31 now, and haven't skated in years, but I def wanna pick it back up one of these days.
I’m from the county where this happened and I remember hearing about this case while it was going on. So sad, such a tragic loss of a young girl who had her whole life ahead of her. RIP Sarah
Imagine then, them dealing with high profile people. It's no surprise money buys their way out. Such as OJ and some could say Johnny Depp (in the sense people absolutely overlooked his role and only blamed Amber even though they abused each other). At the end of the day, detectives are regular people like anyone else meaning some will be exceptional but not all.
@@LuxMeow BS!! Juries decided OJ and Johnny Depp's cases. Depp is also a freaking civil case (not a criminal case). I find the detective's conduct here totally normal. The uploader was literally bull$hiting when he nitpicks and over analyze normal questions and responses of them.
Good on ya Anthony. You saved some really shitty detectives, those two are going to rot in prison because you risked your life to get this info. He's the real hero of this episode.
I agree Anthony is a brave dude for putting himself on the line like that. Idk if I'd be able to contain myself while talking to that stupid ass wannabe thug especially if it was someone that I cared about... with any luck ol Liam and Preston will get them cheeks clapped in prison neither of them look like they'll last long at all.
I hate how these psychopaths make their victims look like dirt … it’s so disgusting how he makes her sound like a obsessed weird person . What a narcissist jerk!
It’s psychological justification when a predator degrades their victim. They tell themselves that they killed, hurt, scammed, whatever a bad person because it justified their actions to themselves, and whoever they can convince. It’s a lot less easy to say to themselves “I did this because I’m a remorseless greedy monster.”
I’m only at 20:07 so far, but I can’t help but laugh at the way the narrator is completely dogging the police officer out about his unprofessional behavior 😂😂 I love when they do this.
Liam's response to 'Was she ever your girlfriend' replying 'No' but then going on to say that he thinks she might be a Lesbian and that that she is 'immature' & 'more interested in playing video games' and that she 'gets grossed out' by sexual matters are red flags to me. Sounds like Liam had feelings and desires for her that she didn't reciprocate and he resents her for it.
For sure. He hated her for rejecting him, it seems. If you recall when he was talking to the detectives in his driveway, he said she got her self in self-destructive sexual situations. I found that very odd to say - calling her a ho basically - and the cops didn't even pick up on it. Then in the interrogation, he basically stopped short of calling her a weirdo virgin, but that would implicate his desire so he called her a lesbian. That's some misogynistic ish He definitely was angry with her for not wanting him sexually and these two clearly believe in bros before hos. Both of them probably talked about her sexually and objectified her before, not out of any real feelings, but out of entitlement. Why they couldn't sleep with her, etc...it just frustrated Liam more because he's a true psychopath. In the car confession, it's like he was trying to do a Chris Moltosanti impersonation from the Sopranos.
@@2006glg Totally agree on the entitlement aspect of it. My guess is that in the past he had felt entitled to her sexually but she denied him. Then he felt entitled to her money and this time he refused to be denied. People with NPD, which I'd be amazed if he doesn't have, have an exaggerated sense of self-importance and exaggerated sense of significance to other people. They very much believe that this is their world and the rest of us are just living in it.
meh. not at all. this video commentator made it obvious that the person was the suspect/murderer but otherwise it was impossible to tell. I dont think the police did so much wrong and they didnt have reason to suspect the boy previously. you are "seeing" these signs now that you know, but 90% of the time youd be wrong. Heck, even happens to professional interrogators
@@user-wq9mw2xz3j Of course they'd suspect him. All the criminal psychology research & statistics show that you are more likely to be murdered by someone you know than a random stranger.
The moment when Liam came back to Anthony's passenger side window and knocked, had to be the most terrifying moment of Anthony's life. He was unbelievably professional at that undercover job.
I always thought that Liam saying that he went back to "see if he left his keys in the car" was just an excuse, he might've realized on his way to the house that something could be up and he went back to the car to check on Anthony one last time just to make sure. Imagine if he caught him Anthony the camera on his hand!!
@@homohotel The situation was completely different. He had the luxury to be calculated with Sarah. Anthony was a liability, and could report to the cops at any time. It's very possible for Liam to act irrationally under those circumstances.
Getting killed slowly by your childhood friend so unexpectedly has to be one of the worst ways to die. F*cking bastard could have made those 7k working his job for 2 - 4 months. For anyone watching this, remember Biggie's first rule in Ten Crack Commandments "Rule Number Uno, never let no one know, how much dough you hold, cause you know, the cheddar breed jealousy". Rip to the poor girl.
@@four-x-trading5606 good point I've seen countless videos about a rich man or woman become friends or marrying a poor individual only to find themselves dead shortly after or a long ways down the trail.
For those saying the neighbor saying the doctors appts she is naming is irrelevant it’s really not. She is letting the cops know exactly how close her and Sarah were and that she would not of went to Canada without her telling her
The most tragic thing is that the mom left that money because she wanted to give her daughter a good life and the money ended up being why she was killed :( That breaks my heart. Not that it's the mom's fault.... the murderer is solely to blame. It's just very sad.
it's sad for the family but they are both together in heaven. i dont wanna sound morbid but this world is a POS, and people are probably better off not being stuck here with murderers like this guy.
I'm sure the dad feels like chit too. Off at Disney land with his new girlfriend while his sick mom is at home and his daughter being murdered... again not exactly his fault but I would feel unimaginable guilt.
@@gristamshackleford2102 no. Mr. Domenic Astolfi is a world renowned philosopher of our time. he has died over 100 times and can confirm that hell and heaven are religious myths created by humans to make death easier to cope with.
These psychos would've probably ended up doing that to someone else eventually. It's crazy to think there are psychos out there plotting things like this daily. I wonder how many of them are out there that are capable of doing this and just never go thru with it.
It shocks me that you can think you know a person (or persons) that you’ve spent your entire childhood with, and never really know them. It’s shocking how some people feel nothing. It’s also shocking that these narcissists and psychopaths walk among us and we don’t even know they’re there, and unbelievable that there would be two such people in a persons close knit friend base.

When Liam left Anthony's car (right after stating he felt nothing about the prior talk of "killing a bunch of people"), then came back and Anthony rolled down the window....I wonder if he momentarily thought "oh sh!t, he's going to shoot me!!"?

@Jordan Banks liam betrayed sarah way worse. its bare minimum payback
@Jordan Banks He didn't. I friend like Liam doesn't deserve even a little LOYALTY. How can you consider Liam a Friend and being betrayed? If he could kill Sarah cold-bloodedly, can he not do it to Anthony? If you are more concerned about LIAM being betrayed than thinking of Anthony's welfare and safety, you are of the same kind with LIAM and PRESTON who never deserved LOYALTY and can never be considered a FRIEND.

Yeah I remember my cousin is the one that got the confession, we used to babysit Liam when he was a kid and his identical twin brother seamus, and I are all still remember her best friend Courtney worked at the pizzeria I worked at and I was working that night I must have passed that bridge about 50 times and saw Sarah's car and I was like why is Sarah's car parked with the hazards on? I knew her car because she would always come into the pizzeria, but this was just like really bizarre seeing her hazards on and the car just sitting there, I mean all night I was like why is it still sitting there? I figured maybe her battery died or something and I was like thinking maybe I should see if she needs help nobody in the car and I was like wow this is bizarre and we find out what happened to her, so many conspiracy theories about her death like her running to Canada and all of this stuff, because she always loved canada, but my cousin did the right thing by getting that confession I'm so proud of him for that❤ that cop the police chief that was caught drunk and belligerent on camera towards his sergeant? That is my cousin lenny, that's the same town this all happened in and the sergeant major that had the body camera on that was recording my cousin being drunk, is also my cousin, it's a really small town over here so a lot of stuff can happen but Sarah's case was probably the most disturbing especially when I babysit Liam and Sarah I would see every other day😢😢 this is so awkward seeing my town that I live in right now all over the Internet like this, I haven't really watched any of these videos because obviously I am a local and I really just feel terrible about what happened to her, I'm just so proud of my cousin anthony, really really proud of him he's a really good kid and ever since he was really little I remember teaching him guitar and everything and then he became a Content creator, short horror films Etc comma this was a really really really hard thing to process I can never forget it
Man, the friend who recorded the confession had some balls on him. He was as smooth as a skilled interrogator and Liam just spilled the beans and told him everything.

When police knocks on your door and asks you about your friend, and you do not even ask what is this all about, whats going on, its telling af.
Yes, he was so unbothered and chill about it all.
He doesn't ask cause he already knows. Anyone else who immediately say why what's going? what happened? That was a very good observation.
100%. 12 years ago I got that knock at the door from the cops. They were vaguely asking odd questions about my housemate, who I'd last seen the previous afternoon when he left for work. They came to my door three times asking questions without telling me what was going on, and thats literally all I was asking nonstopuntil they told me he'd been found dead.
It really is, I agree.
@@IowaContactrip to your friend. Sending condolences to you and his family.. Hope there wasn't foul play involved.
The audacity that he not only killed her but then proceeded to completely trash talk her afterwards is insane
Exactly! And the audacity to throw her dad under the bus as a suspect.
I have heard several times that trash talking a victim is one of the signs interrogators look for in rape crimes investigations because the perpetrator goes over the top insulting victims where innocent people don't say much.
I mean, he's 100% right with that statement. Most people have useless ''tough'' dogs like Pit Bulls, German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Dobermans... You name it. You get what you buy. If you want REAL protection, buy a REAL dog... You would have to stab or shoot my persian mastiff and my CAO until they stopped moving because they would not stop mauling you until you killed them. If you are getting murdered and your dog is fucking watching you get killed you have wrong dog breed my guy... The killer is 100% right with that one...
Yeah absolutely. But think about it; if someone is evil enough to murder their childhood friend in cold blood, then trashing her to detectives afterwards to save himself is really nothing to the person. This is the kind of person you really have to be careful with, and it's sadly why I tend to not trust in people 100%. You just never know who's a psychopath that will befriend you, make you feel comfortable with them, and when you least expect it, do something terrible to you. It sucks because I'm the kind of person that thinks that people do bad things, but they're good deep down. Not people like this guy. This is evil incarnate right there, and they can hide it so well.
You expect different from the guy that killed his 'friend' for money?
The undercover friend in the car was a brave man. That last second where the murderer walked back to the car because he thought he lost his keys was eerie. The friend must have thought he might be returning to kill him.
I know right??? I’m glad he wasn’t reaching for the recording device when he walked up!
I would have made assumptions (i’m usually wrong and would have been again) and made a misstep and wound up dead. I panic at the slightest opportunity it seems. Ugh I’m an embarrassment.
Omfg yeh but he literally had to rat or him and his family ded
The only reason that friend helped out the police is because he thought his life might be in danger, not because it was the right thing to do.
I guess he was better at pretending to be a better friend than Liam was
So glad we have people like Anthony here who put himself in complete danger just to do the right thing. A real hero if you ask me. And not to mention how well he acted in that moment. You can tell he’s trying his hardest to not get murdered by these two absolute freak shows
yea but with his foreknowledge of the Liams Joke/Intent/Plan he coulda did better and maybe Sarah wouldnt have to go like this... all hindsight now and at least the right Perps was caught ...
I don’t feel like he did it from goodness of his heart. More like he knew what Liam told him and he and his family was in danger. He wanted Liam locked up for his safety. It’s sad she was surrounded by heartless ‘friends’

That mom left a box full of money hoping to help her daughter. Not knowing a predator would kill her for it. Makes me wanna cry honestly.
Yeah she thought she'd help her child...
Yes, her mom was kind to help her daughter. And here comes some pieces of sh*t, to kill her over stupid money! Very Sad!
@Aviator Duck Ya but you aint gotta kill someone. I don't condone robbing but, end of the day you play with the cards you are dealt. You can rob someone and not kill them for no reason.

Killing your friend for 7k then proudly calling it a heist is the most pathetic thing i've ever heard.
Oh my god I wanted to throw up when that moron started in with "that's the thing about a heist bro" like shut up, this isn't Ocean 11, you sneak-attacked your childhood friend who trusted you so you could steal her cash to buy a bunch of drugs 🥴🥴🥴

This girl was a nutcase. The fact she threatened to kill herself over one of her friends girlfriends is the most pathetic thing I’ve ever heard personally. Something was seriously mentally f’d up with this girl…she wasn’t just some innocent sweetheart like all the simps in this comment section want to believe. I used to know girls like this… they’re always crazy. They’re parasocially obsessed with TH-camrs (and her friends gf’s in this case as well), they are usually narcissistic and mentally screwed theater kids that think their sh*t doesn’t stink, but at the same time will threaten to harm themselves for attention. Everyone in this case, from the victim, the officers, to the suspects, all just seem like the worst kinds of people.
Bro thought he was playing GTA. Funny thing is this loser couldn’t even use the money he murdered his childhood friend for
That really stood out, and I’d bet was this guys whole angle - trying to portray that he was some slick, seasoned thief, well versed in “big scores” - not a dope who killed his friend for a bag of duff money.
The fact that the literal murderer is being critical of how her dog didn’t try to stop him from killing Sarah shows how contorted his mind is
Amen he was batshit

If not for him they probably would’ve pinned her as a jumper suicide and left it at that.
Yeah and the cops seemed pretty inexperienced and unprofessional and douchey
then the cops had the audacity to say "we've been working really hard to figure it out and we firgured it out" when they just got lucky af because someone who claimed not to be a rat was indeed a rat.
Yeah these detectives seem like total morons so someone had to get the job done.
Body cam footage, interrogation footage, scene exploration footage...I don't think TH-cam has seen this level of thoroughness before. You guys really leave no stone unturned. It is a deeply tragic story, but one can't help but marvel at the phenomenal coverage by the EWU Team. Wow!

I’m so proud of them!
That last interviewer was very impressive. It's such a difference watching a professional who covers all angles to make sure they have a strong case; he was so thorough.
Think about this. The guy that murdered her said in the very beginning “I made it seem like we were better friends than we actually were so they wouldn’t question my behavior with her” and yet the “friend” recording got the murder to believe they were close enough for him to think “Hey I can tell him I murdered someone and he won’t report me in”.
Pretty epic tbh
Killers ain’t exactly the smartest of people tbf..🤨
can't help but think certain people are just the type that murder. They talk with that exact tone Liam used and always use the same tactics of manipulation. And they love to confess things, they just can't keep their true identity hidden all the time, it just wants to leak and that's why Liam told him.
@@crabb9966 ego
Liam told the guy recording him that he was planning it long before he did it. So the guy knew already. Everyone is so quick to pat the guy who recorded him on the back but he didn't tell the cops until months later that Liam had told him he was going to kill her.
This is absolutely tragic. She seemed like a really nice girl, just living her life, doing her hobbies. Glad she got some justice. RIP Sarah.

Good job calling out the bad, unprofessional, and incompetence of the detectives. I had a lot of the exact same thoughts
Yessssssss I said that!!!!
Tweedle dee and tweetle dum
I kinda understand why the detective was so unprofessional. They didn't have any evidence that a homicide was committed and cases like that usually end in finding out that the missing person had committed suicide, had an accident or had run away on his/her own will.
But still the officer should have kept an open mind and, as harsh as it sounds, treated everyone as a potential murderer until they're cleared out.
Well they were treating as a missing persons not a homicide
I live in ocean grove, Neptune township I know all of these police, city and township belmar ,wall,abd manasquan as well. Some are tough and some have a bug up their ass but they’re all good people.
Plus this doesn’t happen around here, there’s are shootings in Neptune city in the hoody parts but stuff like this doesn’t happen around here.
There was a police officer Phil Sidelle ,did some crazy shit in Neptune city, I didn’t know this cop but he deserves to rot in hell for what he did.
I binge these videos so much I forget which ones I’ve already watched or fall asleep watching. Hands down one of my top 5 favorite channels
What are your other 4?
This whole thing honestly breaks my heart. Her mom left her money after dying from cancer, she finds it, and is betrayed by her friends. It's just so sad.
When I saw the worried texts her father was sending her after she died I had to pause the video to collect myself. So sad and tragic
😥
It is very sad.
All because she didn’t trust banks and hoarded physical cash. How ironic… if she had put it in the bank, CDs, stocks, bonds, etc, her daughter would probably still be alive.
i dont wanna sound morbid or whatever for saying this but the mom and daughter are in a better place together now. its sad for the family though
I love it that this channel called out these police officers for their unprofessional and incompetent behavior from the jump. It was almost cringe worthy watching how incompetent they were. Completely in over their head.
Agreed. And the way they spoke to Liam, they way they spoke about Sarah... just really making it hard to find something redeemable here. It's okay to be bad at your job - so long as your job doesn't deal with life or death matters, public safety, etc.

props to Anthony for doing the job of an entire police department.
honestly liam was ready to talk and tell somebody hes been waiting to tell that dude what actually happened he didnt do much because liam was already willing to talk and tell that dude what actually happened.
His story played right into the stereotypes most people who become cops have. You can even hear it in the things they say in the bodycams and interrogation footage.

@@freshxan Innocent or not, get a lawyer!
Once the police are talking to you about a crime - especially if they’re talking to you as one of the suspects - they’re not your friends. No matter how much they might try and seem like you are, no matter how much you’ve been told to co-operate with them. They aren’t interested in helping you to prove that you’re innocent, they’re not interested in helping you clear up an innocent misunderstanding - that’s not their job, their job is to solve the case and hand it over to the prosecutors and if it’s really easy to just say “hey, we think Bob did it” and not look at other options?They’re going to charge Bob and declare the case closed.
Your lawyer’s job is to make sure that you don’t mis-speak or try to answer questions where you don’t remember the answer or aren’t sure what you’re being asked about. They’re there to make sure you’re not trying to clear up “simple misunderstandings”, and they’re there to make sure that the police and the prosecutor are doing their jobs and actually prove that you’re the best suspect for the crime.
This is definitely not Sarah’s fault, but a good reminder to everyone: NEVER brag about getting large chunks of cash, even to friends and family members. It’s on a need-to-know basis only.

Big fan of the channel! Keep up the good work 🤗💗
When they make a documentary about me, they'll list my interests as:
-Sausage rolls
-Smoke detectors
-Miley Cyrus
These victims are more than what happened to them. I'll always respect this channel for keeping that in mind
Besides the respect it gives, it just makes for a better story. Twin Peaks is as good as it is because Laura Palmer is the main character despite being dead the entire show.
quite honestly: I could really do without.
I find it much harder to listen to what they did to somebody who's not only an abstract 'victim' but an actual person in my head. The casual way they describe how she was slowly killed over half an hour and then basically treated like a bag of trash made me literally feel sick to my stomach. And normally I'm someone who can watch the goriest horror movies or something isis decapitation videos without batting an eye. But hearing those details about her reminds me of people i actually know and love. And I cant watch this without imagining them being in this situation, which is simply horrifying.

Calling her a lesbian, depressed, suicidal, tomboyish and saying she had no friends other than him and other guys. Almost like he was trying to call her a loser or see her as lesser than.

@@Tommyblueee In this case, they definitely could have done better
I thought all that about the cops from the very beginning when the one cop chuckled when the cop said i hope its not a jumper.
They were building a friendly relationship because they suspected him of doing something. Regardless of what this channel says
I disagree with the assessment. Giving casual report makes people more willing to go in to the station to give a formal interview easier. And if kids are worried that they are talking to a cop when they mention underage alcohol or illegal substance use, they won’t be cooperative unless the cop basically says “I’m cool don’t worry about it.” The analysis is coming from a really removed perspective. Even the leading questions that he said “yeah” yo can be challenged later since passive interaction isn’t something he’s going to remember later, but it does instill a sense of overconfidence in the suspect. Also during a missing persons search, little clues are more important to finding someone that may still be alive than making sure you treat everyone like a murder suspect.
My brother-in-law is an attorney. He taught my kids and then my grand kids that you always ask for an attorney. It doesn’t matter if you are as innocent as a new born babe, no ifs, ands, or buts, you answer no questions without your attorney present especially after getting read your Miranda Rights…requiring an attorney to protect your rights doesn’t indicate guilt, it levels the playing field. If the officers can lie to you, can claim others are pointing you out as a suspect, you need an attorney too safeguard you from the officers.

It's crazy seeing how openly and in detail both Liam and Preston talk about the murder, considering other interrogations, where the suspects barely let anything out, even when confessing.
Tragic.
Liam’s first contact with the police was really telling to me. He didn’t seem the least bit concerned about her and he had an answer for everything. He conveniently lost his phone, “grandmas sick” he was more worried about getting a story out.
I could actually recognize him immediately from the recording they played in the begining (m now at min. 11:06 into the video...)
Yeah, the missing phone and he said he saw her earlier and she said she wanted to leave for Canada. He's trying to set a narrative, but it all sounds off.
Exactly, “I can’t find my phone”
Me: 🙄 “He did it!”
what state is this taking place in? I'm just curious what way she would make her way to Canada and what province she would of come in through. I live near Toronto and there been a few fugitives from USA who came here(Canada) but that was to get away from cops not to begin a new life but it's really hard to come here to stay when she could easily just go to another state,no boarder to cross,or visas to apply for. I mean I love it here in Canada but just didn't buy someone who wanted out of there town to go to a whole new Country instead of just going to a different state.

I immediately thought that it’s sad that with no one home, Sarah and dad gone, how long did that poor baby stay there alone, hungry, thirsty, needing to do his business and was scared I’m sure. Too sad.

Sad story but great channel. Keep it up!
The fact he thought about this so much and planned it so carefully that he even watched how she backed out of the driveway so he could copy how she did it is absolutely chilling
Why not just steal the safe??
i just watched that part where he said he literally knows how she pulls out. like wtf
@@pietekoo5559 I assume he didn't want to risk having the theft reported to the police. He expected the money to be in good condition so he wanted to be able to spend it and put some of it in the bank. He didn't think her life had any value all he cared about was the money

He's so proud of his plan, he just goes on and on about how he killed her for no reason. Dude just asked what happened. He wanted to show off so bad. That's crazy
What’s the time stamp for his confession?
The way he talked about it like a "heist" really creeped me out, as if this is some sort of exciting video game mission. Completely out of touch with reality. Killing his friend for money, so void of emotion. I'm glad they got caught. May Sarah rest in peace.
That and he'd been bottling it up for long enough that he just wanted to get everything out to someone he trusted.
@@NaNook490 Psychopaths get bored with life easily, so they start doing insane things just to get a little thrill and escape their boredom unfortunately.
i think he was also just getting it off his chest. He was excited to tell someone else... someone he trusted.
When describing Sarah at the beginning and her art being shown, I recognized her art at 1:47 as being from a screencap from season 2 of Carmilla -- a webseries I absolutely love. Knowing this...my heart sank. I used to be very active in this community and may have come across this art years and years ago, back when the show was on. Knowing she was a Creampuff as well... (the name for the fandom) it truly breaks my heart. Rest in Peace, Sarah. I won't forget you.
UPDATE: Oh, God. She's even dressed as Carmilla for vidcon 2016. I owned the same box she's holding and even had the same cosplay for my own halloween, in 2017. I also saw Grace, Mamrie, and Hannah live years ago. This hits so close to home for me. It makes me wonder if I've even met people that knew her, as this is a small community. I may have to finish this one later -- makes me pretty sick to reflect on right now.
Thank you all for the work you do and for bringing Sarah's story to light.
Ya I had the same thought. Haven’t heard/read cream puff in awhile
I know how you feel. Several years ago in my country, there was this big murder case that's now refered to as the Pokemon Murder. The young woman who was murdered was very active in the geek community in our small country and I had interacted with her on FB groups. However, when the whole thing was still being investigated, I didn't realize it was her, because she was active on FB under the name Bobbi Morse and her profile pic was her in Mockingbird cosplay. This was because Bobbi Morse/Mockingbird and Clint Barton/Hawkeye were her favorite Marvel characters. I only realized the victim was her when a picture of her in her Mockingbird cosplay circulated in the media. This happened 7 years ago and I still have a Mockingbird action figure up on my shelf in honour of her.
This teenager that got this psycho on camera is amazing. The smarts and guts he had to not only record the guy but he came forward. He was cool and calm enough to not act different for his friend to just vomit this terrifying thing he did that he's describing like it was a fun night out is amazing. That kid is just incredible and brave.
Especially when Liam told him that Marcus was conspiring to kill him if he knew anything about the situation. Props on him for being able to keep his cool. I personally wouldn't take that very well and see Liam as an imidiate threat and act as such.
its not difficult to outsmart a stick-pander to their ego and the conffesion will come.
It's more difficult when your life is on the line and you're face to face with a cold blooded murderer confessing the entire case to you alone in a dark vehicle.
I agree!
If you're going to do something this disturbing you don't tell ANYONE. If anyone else knows they are a liability and they have to go too. These two little degenerates are completely regarded and I'm not saying I wish they had gotten away with it I'm glad they got caught I just wish they would've gotten the D3@th Penalty instead of us Tax Payers having to pay an insane amount of money to keep them incarcerated for decades. I'm just pointing out that if you're going to commit to this type of behavior there shouldn't be any half measures, you shouldn't take any chances, and leave no witnesses or loose ends. I had an associate that convinced a female he knew to set up two individuals that she knew that sold drugs to her. She set everything up for him and some wild teenage gang members he had hired to rob these two drug dealers (one of which I had known since I was like 11) in order to procure more money for my associates drug business while simultaneously hindering the competition. From what I was told it was just supposed to be a robbery. They showed up at about 3 AM dressed to resemble narcotics agents/swat. They split up in two groups each group went to a door they banged on the doors and announced themselves as police. By the time the two individuals realized it wasn't the police the group were inside the house. One of the wild young boys $h0+ both men, for what reason I've never been told. At that point all 6 members of this squad agreed to $h00+ both men so everyone was equally as guilty. My associate had agreed to pay the girl that set this all up $1000 for her trouble but she had been told no one would be hurt. They went back to her house after they took everything of value from the home; money, drugs, jewelry, guns, etc. My associate handed the girl $500 and told her not to tell a soul anything. He didn't mention anything about the two men being room temperature. This girl had a female friend there at the house with her. The squad leaves not long after the girl is paid. The next morning the double homicide is all over the news (where we live is kind of rural, small mostly quiet towns so this was a BIG story) the girl and her friend find out and freak TF out because this was all pretty much their fault. About a week or two later Homicide Detectives pay the girl a visit seeing as her phone number was the last call the one guy had ever answered, less than an hour before his un-aliving. She tries to lie at first but when the cops applied the slightest bit of pressure she sang like a canary. Instead of immediately arresting my associate they turned it into an 18 month long investigation involving wire taps, surveillance, video recording, and Confidential Informants (snitches). This ended up with them indicting 35 people (myself included) on a wide range of charges all the way from purchasing stolen goods, to dealing narcotics (most of us including myself were charged for dealing) all the way to home invasions and Homicide. They were able to do all this by accusing us of operating a "continuous criminal enterprise". Anyways, I said ALL OF THAT to say, none of us would have been hemmed up like that if they would've just used their fu©k¡πg brains and $m0k€d those two b®0@d$ instead of handing them $500 and saying "don't say nothing to anyone" *ESPECIALLY* since he didn't warn them ahead of time about un-aliving the two dudes she set up. All he had to do was tie up the loose ends/only witnesses and he and his young boys from Philly and New Jersey wouldn't be serving life in prison and the other 29 of us wouldn't have gotten jammed up behind his/their BS!
Sorry for the novel, I highly doubt anyone will read this but if you did Thank You!
TL;DR: If you ever mu®d€® someone don't ever tell anyone and if someone else knows, un-alive them too cuz that is the only way to know for sure you won't be told on. Thank you for attending my 'T@®d Talk!
Wow, kudos to Anthony who played the part of "I'm not a snitch" absolutely perfectly. Liam spilled his guts because of that guys ability to act.
Indeed. It had to be nerve wracking but he was absolutely critical to really nailing this case down. An actual hero in the story.
@@198sambrrs not a hero, he knew about the plan a month before it happened but didn’t tell anyone. And only when to the cops a month later because he thought Liam would kill him.
@@SoMuchMass I didn't say he was perfect. It appeared his taped confession was pretty critical, so whatever he did or didn't do before, he did a very difficult thing when he didn't have to.
@@SoMuchMass Right. His demeanor screams psychopath just like the other two. Once he knew Preston was fucked that if he didn't set him up, he'd be in trouble too. I have bipolar disorder and would get 5150'd for much less than that. So, I agree.

I love that the officer took his time to say hi to the dog. "Awh, what a good doggie. What a good doggie. want a treat?"

The fact that he said he choked her out and the last thing she said was his name is chilling. For someone to do this to a long-time friend is pure evil. How can you look at your friend and easily stuff a shirt down her throat. This story is so disturbing especially since they both went about their day as if they didn't just kill their long-time friend.
It’s scary the way those 2 just didn’t seem to have any remorse whatsoever.
Psychopathy is a hell of a thing.
2:12 hr I had to force myself to stop imagining her last moments. So sickening. Disgusting male.
such a vile murder , you can tell how he looked down on her for being dorky and innocent, trash talking her to the feds after strangling her in her own house and throwing her off a bridge for a lousy 10 gs , what the hell goes through someones mind to murder a sweet, loving girl . and to think he was boasting to Anthony, like hes some type of badass, hope his booty hurts in prison
😅
Hearing the scumbag complain to his friend that he didn’t get enough money made me sick. He had ZERO remorse for killing her. He only cared about not getting as much money as he wanted. 😡
If that surprises you, you don't know much about human nature..... That's how you get PTSD..... Listen to professor Jordan Peterson the famous psychologist on the subject of how you get PTSD...... Very interesting.
@Conquest oof, that's a pretty morose, nihilistic world view you got there. Life's not so bad, buddy. Cheer up! And for the record, there's a difference between people being selfish and people murdering people for money.
I hope he gets the broom daily
@Conquest This is the real world sir, and statistically speaking most people don't go around killing people at all. Most people do care for other people. Even if it wasn't the norm to care for people caring is still the right thing and being completely apathetic to others is wrong.
Yeah, that turns my stomach too.🤢🤮 Especially since she was supposed to be his "FRIEND" ...Well who needs enemies!
it's insane to think that they maybe never would have caught him if it wasn't for the friend recording
Because the detectives were total dumbasses.
Makes you think about how many murderers are out there, who will live their lives without ever seeing justice
@@evanbright6105 i think I know a few, but in the hood everybody wants to sound tough or big and bad
A huge majority of murderes never get caught. Lots of people also just disappear and nobody will ever hear about them again. These movies and shows have led us to believe that this isn't true but it is if you dig up the statistics. Chilling. The guy in this video is clearly a moron who couldn't stop bragging about what he had done.
not if he left his phone he would of got caught sooner or later
The fact that the friend with the recording got more information out of Liam than all of those supposed detectives and cops combined is quite shocking. Heart goes out to Sarah's loved ones.
More comfortable to talk to a " homie, buddy " bc it was PLANNED. This kid is not a kid this is a master mind and if he would have been older and wiser I'm afraid there would have been more then one victim.
That poor girl had no idea that was her BEST FRIEND I am so sick after watching this
Is it though? . Lol people will obviously always speak in more detail to someone they trust. Police interrogate to convict. There’s no trust there. He just thought he had a friend “to vent to”. Thankfully his friend had better morals.

@@monsterautomobile He said he was strangling her 30 minutes before she died. Horrific. And this was a female childhood friend who trusted him. He certainly has a very very evil heart. Let's hope he feels remorse now that he has a lifetime to think about it. Unfortunately he is more likely to be thinking of revenge against the guy who recorded him.
This investigation should most certainly be a case study on how you tank a investigation by inadequate questioning and let the guilty almost go free.
I agree it's painful to watch I just want to jump in there and take over lack of experience.
Exactly! If the friend hadn't come forward about Liam's recorded confession, those two criminals would have gotten away with it. I can only imagine the amount of cases that were left cold due to how these investigations were being handled.
@@moonpie999that and they would have killed again, most likely Anthony would have been next.
It's almost like the detectives knew them personally and wanted them to go free smh
AMEN !!!!
I like how every time he narrates what’s happening inside the interrogation room, he subtly insinuates how bad the detective is at his job.
I actually dislike that aspect of this one. Prior to the interrogation room the narrator 'critiques' the detectives so many times it is irritating, imo. It isnt subtle at all, its overt. Its done more than half the narration in the first half of the video. It might be because of when this one was made, two years ago is a long time... The more recent videos do more appropriate levels of criticism of the detectives.
@@breezyn I was looking for a comment like this, thank you. Hindsight is 20/20, easy to criticise when you know the truth and the tells. I think he was being unfair, and I'm sure the investigator, who seemed skilled, was doing everything for a reason. Just didn't work out perfectly this time.
This makes me feel as if not having friends isn't so bad
Trust me it’s not. People aren’t the same anymore. Literally had friends I called brothers turn on me few days ago all cause I wasn’t down with going to go harm someone. Even tried paying me as if that made a difference. I still stand on morals & no mount of $ would buy me. What’s right is right & what’s wrong is wrong. The universe has a law of karma that never goes unaccounted for. Even if it takes years.

Yes this is a really good point. Also deposit it at a bank ASAP. Even if the bills are old and beat up the bank can send them to the Treasury Dept and they will replace the bills. Might not have access to that money until after Treasury has assessed and replaced them, but they'll be safe and not accessible to someone trying to steal them. Plus the new bills will have tracible serial numbers.

@@michilmao1583 1:24:40 around that time it's talked about
Trueeee. I never ever tell anybody how much money I have on me or in the bank. Too many people do crazy things for money.
I watched a lot of these interrogations and these were by far the worst detectives I've ever seen. The inability to press on inconsistencies in both Liam and Preston's stories was extremely irritating. Thank God someone did all of the police work by getting a confession or this case may never have been solved.
If Liam's New York "friend" hadn't come to them to deliver Liam on a platter, this case would likely still be cold.
So true, man. Shockingly bad detectives. I know it's easy to think this is a case of "I learned how to do this job on TH-cam!", but honestly I think someone who has watched a few episodes off this channel would be better at their job than they were.

Great quality and editing. The only channel I can sit and watch a 3 hour video and be captivated every single second. CRAZY. Keep up the great work!
Thank you EWU for pointing out the failings of these investigators. Very informative and important to note. I appreciate your transparency in this matter. Usually you explain what the investigators are doing so we understand, but this shows your unbiased approach in that you’re not afraid to criticize and point out where things could have been done better. Police officers are human after all. I trust your commentary now more than ever!
Well said, excellent comment.
See I think it's rather the opposite. There are times the narrator says the detectives should have done this or that and then later on, when the detectives do ask then it was like oh they should have done that sooner. How exactly is that a mistake or error? Seems like a lot of the corrections directed at the police are more like suggestions then actual mistakes.
@@jakeg7033 it all depends on the case. In the case of my brothers kidnapping, robbery, murder, desecrations of a corpse, premeditated robbery including a weapon, possible racism that's when the FBI got involved as my brother was part indigenous American although he was highly educated and was working at a salvation army halfway house for ex-cons the FBI thought maybe these men who kidnapped him possibly thought he had money. He did not. My brother was dying from what they call adult shaken baby syndrome.
Even though he had put himself through college earning two bachelor's degrees in pre-med science earning a full scholarship to med school it was all denied him due to the injuries he was dying from. He lived and the basement of a large mansion in a small apartment as a light caretaker. The kidnappers misunderstood when they gave him rides from the shelter and thought he must live in that big house. Instead of listening to the rest of our adoptive family who loved him adored him and swore that he would never walk off into a freezing cold winter night committing suicide.
Sadly, the police officers listen to our horrible abusive adopted mother who'd caused his injuries. She said oh! My son was suicidal.
My brother was not suicidal a day in his life. If anything he would have waited until after Christmas day as the whole family was planning on this last Christmas with them no matter what they were all trying to make it to see him one last time at Christmas from as far away as Minnesota to the West Coast to see him. Except for her & my father who had not planned on going 2,000 miles to the family get-together .
No-one had invited them or informed them of getting together to spend one last Christmas with their beloved adopted grandson nephew uncle cousin etc. He was well liked in the community. Everyone was disturbed at the way our adoptive mother was talking about him. Our father never raised his voice to stop her just like he never raised his hand either to stop the abuse.
Sadly the police believed everything she said, instead of what even I his own birth sister raised with him said. Years later I spoke to a police officer who had inherited the case. He stated he knew there were mistakes.
The previous officers had relied too much on our mother's interview, instead of the people who knew him closest. Those who'd been around him for the last 15 years of his life. This man still held out hope that my brother was still alive but everyone in the family including members of the family that had cared about him where he died knew he was dead. The killer had even bragged!
Unfortunately he bragged in the sheriff's jail. In the same county that my brother lived and many of his close friends & relatives worked for the sheriff's department.
Twenty years after his disappearance I wanted to open the case again and my aunt a big me not to. She let me know with fear in her eyes that the man everyone knew responsible for my brother's death wouldn't be found alive on the face of this Earth. I would be opening a painful wound.
From that moment on I have accepted sometimes the police just can't do it right because people with big mouths, thinking they're helping, that say oh the person was depressed, the person was this, the person was that, muddy the investigation to the point the police have no way to find a point to start from. Now I try to withhold as far as an opinion until the end of the show has been done and the facts have been presented.
I think we have to remember sometimes that police are human and they're coming into an investigation knowing nothing of the person's personal life.
No doubt! I felt like the narrator was inside my head! Every time a leading or closed-ended question was asked, and at several points where they were trying to ‘buddy up’, I thought how horrible a job they were doing…then the narrator said same. Lol
as soon as Liam randomly asked in questioning, “if she had jumped off the bridge, wouldn’t her body be all the way out in the ocean by now?” I knew that’s where he put her. which leads me to say I’m utterly disgusted by the incompetence of the detectives that were on this case. amazing video and narrator, worth the 3 hrs
Yes. That was such a weird question/statement but 'Brian' completely missed it, too busy scribbling doodles in his notepad. Thank god for Anthony.
When he said “she told me she was going to Canada” I knew something was up with him. These people tend to say things like that to sway others into believing that the person had a desire to leave and go far away with hopes it would throw the police off their trail.

The messed up part is that they could have simply just robbed her house while she wasn’t home, but they decided to murder her instead.
She told them about the money so they probably figured they’d be the first suspects but if she ded she can’t say “I think I know who stole my money” to the police
@@zatrat5696 I doubt she would have thought that. People do randomly rob houses. Unless they had been acting sketchy which is not unlikely, I guess. But that’s how most people do it…set up a robbery, if they find out someone has cash. It’s hard to make it stick, just because you told them about it. Most robbers don’t want a murder on their hands.
@@zatrat5696 There was no way she could prove that without evidence though.

And the fact that Preston didn't discourage him from killing Sarah, is sick in the head,
Someone needs to check on the Father. His wife and daughter are gone, and he’s probably questioning his whole existence. I could tell by the text exchange in the beginning he was adamantly in her life every hour of the day. Great breakdown, JCS would be proud.
Yeah I bet hes riddled with guilt for not being there for his daughter who lost her mother.
He definitely needs support with that much loss for sure.
dad is spending more time in Florida with his gf
As soon as Liam was saying Sarah wanted to leave to Canada to get away from her dad. Also stating those two fought frequently. I knew Liam was throwing blame on others, and this clearly shows that he clearly did this.
speaking of that channel, what happened to JCS? Does anyone know?
It's disturbing to think they all knew each other from childhood, and all it took was her mentioning she had an undisclosed amount of cash for this twisted fiend to destroy so many lives. Obviously there's a lesson here for everyone. Keep your financial affairs to yourself, "for the love of money is the root of all evil".
Lessons is don't date murderous individuals, but obviously we don't hold them accountable as normal humans beings would because they are adults who are naïve and easily exploited I guess? Maybe we need to start teaching people how to not be naive, as psychopaths will always exist.

@@Astrohhh exactly.
@@mintyfresh569 Ay I appreciate you asking!! I still have my old videos somewhere, we used to upload a lot of them on Vimeo. I lived in LA for 3 years and used to skate, and my roommate was a semi-pro BMX street rider.. so we'd go film with all kinds of super talented people. I'm 31 now, and haven't skated in years, but I def wanna pick it back up one of these days.
I’m from the county where this happened and I remember hearing about this case while it was going on. So sad, such a tragic loss of a young girl who had her whole life ahead of her. RIP Sarah
I like that you're calling out the detectives failings, because this is what they're supposed to be trained for, and they just keep dropping the ball
The way they spoke was so annoying and unprofessional
@@hotfriedgriyoandpeeklees1522 those were uniformed officers, not detectives.
Imagine then, them dealing with high profile people. It's no surprise money buys their way out. Such as OJ and some could say Johnny Depp (in the sense people absolutely overlooked his role and only blamed Amber even though they abused each other). At the end of the day, detectives are regular people like anyone else meaning some will be exceptional but not all.
@@LuxMeow BS!! Juries decided OJ and Johnny Depp's cases. Depp is also a freaking civil case (not a criminal case). I find the detective's conduct here totally normal. The uploader was literally bull$hiting when he nitpicks and over analyze normal questions and responses of them.

Good on ya Anthony. You saved some really shitty detectives, those two are going to rot in prison because you risked your life to get this info. He's the real hero of this episode.
I agree Anthony is a brave dude for putting himself on the line like that. Idk if I'd be able to contain myself while talking to that stupid ass wannabe thug especially if it was someone that I cared about... with any luck ol Liam and Preston will get them cheeks clapped in prison neither of them look like they'll last long at all.
New Jersey just promoted those detectives. I was speechless.
@@bookofkatherine well new jersey doesnt exist so i dont think thats true
@bookofkatherine That means they'll no longer be detectives, right?
@@taxcollector9543 can confirm New Jersey does not exist.
I hate how these psychopaths make their victims look like dirt … it’s so disgusting how he makes her sound like a obsessed weird person . What a narcissist jerk!
He sucks on so many levels
she doesnt even sound like a weird person, hes just judgmental
@@heyhey8528 Fr she sounds exactly like me when I was a teen
@@heyhey8528 and even if ur weird that’s not an insult she’s cool at least she’s not a fucking murderer and pyscho
It’s psychological justification when a predator degrades their victim. They tell themselves that they killed, hurt, scammed, whatever a bad person because it justified their actions to themselves, and whoever they can convince. It’s a lot less easy to say to themselves “I did this because I’m a remorseless greedy monster.”
I’m only at 20:07 so far, but I can’t help but laugh at the way the narrator is completely dogging the police officer out about his unprofessional behavior 😂😂 I love when they do this.
Liam's response to 'Was she ever your girlfriend' replying 'No' but then going on to say that he thinks she might be a Lesbian and that that she is 'immature' & 'more interested in playing video games' and that she 'gets grossed out' by sexual matters are red flags to me. Sounds like Liam had feelings and desires for her that she didn't reciprocate and he resents her for it.
For sure. He hated her for rejecting him, it seems.
If you recall when he was talking to the detectives in his driveway, he said she got her self in self-destructive sexual situations. I found that very odd to say - calling her a ho basically - and the cops didn't even pick up on it.
Then in the interrogation, he basically stopped short of calling her a weirdo virgin, but that would implicate his desire so he called her a lesbian. That's some misogynistic ish
He definitely was angry with her for not wanting him sexually and these two clearly believe in bros before hos. Both of them probably talked about her sexually and objectified her before, not out of any real feelings, but out of entitlement. Why they couldn't sleep with her, etc...it just frustrated Liam more because he's a true psychopath.
In the car confession, it's like he was trying to do a Chris Moltosanti impersonation from the Sopranos.
okay ôpiuii
@@2006glg Totally agree on the entitlement aspect of it.
My guess is that in the past he had felt entitled to her sexually but she denied him. Then he felt entitled to her money and this time he refused to be denied.
People with NPD, which I'd be amazed if he doesn't have, have an exaggerated sense of self-importance and exaggerated sense of significance to other people.
They very much believe that this is their world and the rest of us are just living in it.
meh. not at all. this video commentator made it obvious that the person was the suspect/murderer but otherwise it was impossible to tell. I dont think the police did so much wrong and they didnt have reason to suspect the boy previously. you are "seeing" these signs now that you know, but 90% of the time youd be wrong. Heck, even happens to professional interrogators
@@user-wq9mw2xz3j Of course they'd suspect him. All the criminal psychology research & statistics show that you are more likely to be murdered by someone you know than a random stranger.
The moment when Liam came back to Anthony's passenger side window and knocked, had to be the most terrifying moment of Anthony's life. He was unbelievably professional at that undercover job.
I thought Liam was gonna shoot Anthony. That Liam guy looked like he wanted to kill the crackhead lady that wanted a ride
Kudos to Anthony for keeping his cool and getting Liam's confession on tape. That took guts. He got justice for Sarah.
I always thought that Liam saying that he went back to "see if he left his keys in the car" was just an excuse, he might've realized on his way to the house that something could be up and he went back to the car to check on Anthony one last time just to make sure. Imagine if he caught him Anthony the camera on his hand!!
I dont think it was that scary, he was a planner not a loosecannon. Also he couldnt even lift sarahs body.
@@homohotel The situation was completely different. He had the luxury to be calculated with Sarah. Anthony was a liability, and could report to the cops at any time. It's very possible for Liam to act irrationally under those circumstances.
Getting killed slowly by your childhood friend so unexpectedly has to be one of the worst ways to die. F*cking bastard could have made those 7k working his job for 2 - 4 months. For anyone watching this, remember Biggie's first rule in Ten Crack Commandments "Rule Number Uno, never let no one know, how much dough you hold, cause you know, the cheddar breed jealousy". Rip to the poor girl.
That's why rich people hang out with other rich people for that reason
Especially if that man fucked up, get yo ass stuck up :/
they weren't her friends. sadly women always like to hang out with the bad boys and this is what happens
@@four-x-trading5606 good point I've seen countless videos about a rich man or woman become friends or marrying a poor individual only to find themselves dead shortly after or a long ways down the trail.
@@ImXxaXxDreamerXx hoodied and masked up, 4 that fast buck.
I love the dissection of officers and suspects alike. Great channel and commentary.
For those saying the neighbor saying the doctors appts she is naming is irrelevant it’s really not. She is letting the cops know exactly how close her and Sarah were and that she would not of went to Canada without her telling her
literally nobody is saying that schizo andy
@@gillsejusbates6938 there was ppl say DH or I wouldn’t of said it. Weirdo
@@gillsejusbates6938 you read all 3.5k comments to know that “nobody” said that, right?
The vast majority are in agreement with you
Oh. I thought she was drunk because her words were kind of slurring, but that is a good point to point out.
The most tragic thing is that the mom left that money because she wanted to give her daughter a good life and the money ended up being why she was killed :( That breaks my heart. Not that it's the mom's fault.... the murderer is solely to blame. It's just very sad.
it's sad for the family but they are both together in heaven. i dont wanna sound morbid but this world is a POS, and people are probably better off not being stuck here with murderers like this guy.
@@gristamshackleford2102 No, they're dead.
@@doma7956 atheist eh?
I'm sure the dad feels like chit too. Off at Disney land with his new girlfriend while his sick mom is at home and his daughter being murdered... again not exactly his fault but I would feel unimaginable guilt.
@@gristamshackleford2102 no. Mr. Domenic Astolfi is a world renowned philosopher of our time. he has died over 100 times and can confirm that hell and heaven are religious myths created by humans to make death easier to cope with.
It breaks my heart that the money her mom worked for to leave for her daughter was the very reason why she got killed 🥺
Its always the reason. Like the USA Seling Weapons, start wars
These psychos would've probably ended up doing that to someone else eventually. It's crazy to think there are psychos out there plotting things like this daily. I wonder how many of them are out there that are capable of doing this and just never go thru with it.
😭🙏🏻❤️😇
This is why I tell my kids never to tell other people about how much money they or we have.
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
It shocks me that you can think you know a person (or persons) that you’ve spent your entire childhood with, and never really know them. It’s shocking how some people feel nothing. It’s also shocking that these narcissists and psychopaths walk among us and we don’t even know they’re there, and unbelievable that there would be two such people in a persons close knit friend base.
