I found myself a bit emotional recording the end of this video. If you see this, and you’re genuinely struggling- know that things really get better, plenty of people have had similar thoughts, and there’s so much cool stuff you haven’t done. Love you all. Love yourself too.
Jack, I came here to post about how much I felt your words, "you are not alone." It touched me pretty deep dude. Like I said, I feel ya, I hear ya and one day at the time homie. We really appreciate you and you are not alone either... BTW, my apologies if I'm off base or even out of line. Not my intention
I lost my son 13 years ago. He was a closeted, very shy boy ,and had alot of mental health conditions ,who could never ask for help. He moved away into his own apartment when he was 17 . I dont know why i let him leave , because i could see he wasnt okay. He just wouldnt let me help him. Being by himself , lead him down the wrong path. Like the man in this video, he documented his insanity through long pages of bullet-point notebooks . I remember not understanding the situation and reading through every single page . My son took his life 24th November 2010 , by hanging himself in his apartment . Police found that he had set his left arm on fire in attempt to kill himself, when that didnt work he resorted to being hung. I miss my boy every day and i wish i could just ask him one question: what could i have done to help you? I love you John , you'll forever be in my heart . love, dad xx
Björk is so kind and sympathetic for what happened this late mentality unstable guy and sent her condolences to his family. She is so nice at that time and it touches my heart. Kudos to Björk.
My husband has never liked my true crime so I usually watch them with my headphones, but to my surprise, he ran across one of your stories and now he likes them a lot. And since he showed me, now I look forward to watching your channel with him. You are the best storyteller. Your voice, your expressions and your motions. 💯

Oh, thank you for mentioning this case, Jack. Björk is my absolute favorite artist. I met her in 2000 in a discotheque in Brussels. She had a gig as a dj and afterwards she danced and talked with the audience. Which considering the events you talk about in this case was not so evident. Ricardo Lopez is every artist's nightmare. Pure horror!
Jack, this was a tragic and sad story. It's difficult seeing someone gradually slip away from what the rest of us call, "reality." When I was almost 20, my family watched this happen to one of my older brothers. Sadly, we didn't realize what was happening and our plans to get him help fell short by less than a day. You never expect the unthinkable to happen in your family. My brother ended up committing suicide using a shotgun under his chin. I witnessed it. Dude, if you died, a huge gap would be left in TH-cam. It would be a hole that nobody could possibly fill.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Sometimes mental health issues creep on people too fast for their loved ones to take action. I’ve been in psychosis before, it’s a really scary place to be in your head because you really do believe your delusions are real. I know I put my family through a lot of pain because I was so unwell and I said some awful things while I was unwell but the thing about family is they understand you don’t mean it because they could tell I wasn’t myself at those times. With the right medication and therapy I recovered from psychosis but I understand others aren’t as lucky as me and my heart goes out to everyone who’s lost a loved one to mental illness. ❤

I feel really bad for this guy. I wish someone knew how much pain he was in and had counseled him so that this tragic suicide could have been prevented. No one deserves to suffer alone. We are all worthy of love and respect.
This was a person who didn't believe he was worthy of love himself. That is the problem with these kinds of personalities, they are unable to love themselves and believe they are not worthy of anyone's love. That is why he slipped into insanity.

God Bless! And also, He doesn't want you to go to Hell, but He wants you to go to Heaven with Him but you have to be Saved. How do I get Saved you might ask? Here are the steps below on how to get Saved! 1. Believe that God sent His Son (Jesus) to die on a cross for your sins and that He rose again from the dead 3 days later. 2. Confess to Jesus that you are a sinner and ask forgiveness for your sins and Turn away from your sins. If you sin again after asking forgiveness of that sin, ask forgiveness again and try not to do it ever again. Jesus will forgive you! 3. Ask Jesus to come into your heart and your life and for Him to be your Lord and Savior forever. 4.

Just discovered this channel and am hooked. Love the way you narrate. Very entertaining and keeps your attention. So many videos I get bored half way thru, but not yours. Keep it up. Loving it :)
This was such a terrible tragedy!! I feel so very sad for his family. I actually was able to watch almost all 20+ hours of his vhs tapes he made and I can honestly say, he was crying out for help for a long time. It is just a shame his family didn't listen until it was far too late. He was seeing a psychiatrist before this incident, however it was only for a few months. He should have been in counseling as a child. Anywho, thanks Jack for another beautifully made video, keep up the wonderful work you do!!
@@PcProcks stfu, were you there!? No, you weren't!! Yes I most definitely did!! Not on youtube obviously!! 😒 some stranger thinks they know what I've watched.....go troll someone else!!
I was graduating high school when this happened and I remember this story all to well... took me on a trip back to memory lane. His painted face use to haunt me at night.. thanks for covering this story and resurfacing a true nightmare
Sounds like you're roughly about the same age as me. I also commented that I was 22 when this story happened in 96 but Bjork was my favorite singer in the early 90s. She was all over MTV and 180 Minutes at night. This took me right back to that time for sure.
His voice is really one of the thing that keeps me on edge when I hear these stories because you truly have a suspensful tone while talking. Keep up the good work!!
My guy you do a hell of a job holding the attention of the viewer and that's actually a hard feat! I remember when this happened and you making feel like a current event for a school presentation on the news that week. Great work
I remember watching the video of him unaliving himself on a website called Rotten (I don’t think it even exists anymore). I was like 13 or 14 and it was a bit traumatizing to see someone to out like that.
It's good that they're removing websites like these. People can be traumatised or even harm themselves by watching those kinds of videos. Edit: they also have a shock value, so someone could've gotten a link to a website they don't know and see stuff like this without even wanting to
@franky montana also seeing lives wasted that way... I couldn't care less about videogame gore, but real humans that existed dying that way just makes me sad Like... you've got your whole life ahead of you, why do that??
Also to point out, this isn’t the only woman he obsessed about. The first was the girl who acted beetlejuice. He gave up when he found out she was married. And the aftermath from the bjørk, well her and Goldie broke up days before his suicide.
Now imagine if Geena Davis was married to a black man maybe tha would've put him over the edge, for him a black man is inferior to him (in his mind anyway) but a white is superior or on his level (again in his mind) so he was ok with that. Anyway fck this loser
I remember this case very clearly. Beyork is also one of my most favorite singers. I'm 48 years old so she was hitting stardom right when I was 18 and her music was spectacular, blasting all over MTV and the 180 Minutes alternative show on MTV. This case was everywhere on TV, in magazines, on the news....it was insane.
This was honestly one of the only cases that has made me sick to my stomach especially after watching the full tapes and seeing his decent into madness and how he was losing sleep and paranoid and on edge as the tapes go by.
Watching his suicide still makes my skin crawl that urggggg he let out after shooting himself was horrible and the blood hitting the floor with the silence is haunting, how did you feel after it??
I might as well say it now, you and MrBallen should collaborate and make an episode together, that would be so cool seeing 2 very good story tellers collaborate to make one episode together,
This was very helpful. I’ve already started to address my issues and work through them whether it be homeschooling or headphones or ignoring what people say. Do not be hesitant to get help or help yourself, you’ll need it and it will feel much better
I feel kind of conflicted hitting the like button on your stories!, reason being, I absolutely love your story telling, but the content is just so horrific! You tell your stories so well I'm always a tad traumatized and or I'm praying for the victims and their families!!!! Side note, (absolutely nothing to do with your videos or channel!) Does anybody else hate when they put on these true crime stories and say "SOME" viewers may find this disturbing? Omg, "ALL" viewers should be disturbed!! ! LOL thank you so much for bringing the historic and current stories for us! Literally can't get enough!
I’m struggling really bad right now. I lost my wife of 20 years, my kids, my house, my job, and my financial security literally overnight. I don’t know how I’m gonna pick up the pieces. I’m completely broken. Luckily I’m able to stay with my folks. It’s still pretty embarrassing for a man in his 40’s. I’m hurting and I don’t know what to do. Therapy doesn’t work for me because I always pretend I’m someone else, it’s hard to explain. I don’t know what to do
It's going to be alright Jeff....think of it as a glich in the matrix of your life... choose to live again this time knowing you had accomplished and you can do it again...am praying for you
Just start over,maybe u need a new place like Thailand ,veitnam, or any such country where it's cheap living. Get some online work,move there,start over with new traditional woman after a few years. Gotta keep trying.
what scares me the most about this case is that just about anyone could end up like this man. What scares me even more is that, i especially could end up like this. i develop obsessions and hyperfixations easily and if i was pushed far enough i could end up doing something like this, and knowing that scares me even more.
Plz seek help. The sooner the better. Admitting your situation is already a first step. And have no stigmas against taking pills if you have to. They are for sure overused, but they also save lives when it's really necessary. Much love to you
I'm sure many ppl allready said this but u have an incredibly classy voice, great for commentary and storytelling. Good content my guy, have a blessed day.
i sat and watched all the tapes without commentary, alone. It was truly disturbing to see someone slowly lose hope even when they could've turned it around for the better with the right help. I thought to myself many times how someone could ever live and think this way.
Bjork was an established artist by 1993, not an emerging one! She had already sung in The SugarCubes throughout the 80s and had done quite a but of solo work by 93! She just wasn't known by the "mainstream" at the time.
@@Stjurgeon > Not knowing her is on you. Nope, it isn't. Nobody knows everybody. You can always become more popular. That was the point of my original comment.
Do you tend to obsess, sweetie? If so, it's easy enough to combat, if you come to understand why you do. There's probably a vacancy somewhere that we're trying to fill. Or, it could be OCD, which is also very easily remedied. Reach out, okay?
We ALL obsess to some degree or another. But not all of us will acknowledge, or even recognize it. It's good to hear that you do, and are taking steps to keep it from getting to a harmful level. Still, you don't have to go it alone. Onward & Upward, love.
Now, I know this is screwed up but I am honestly impressed by his creative ability. Honestly his sulfuric acid sprayer thing is actually quite fascinating. (I swear I’m not insane)
How have I never stumbled across your channel before? I've been watching true crime for a few years and just found you TODAY! What a handsome fella you are and love the narration voice!! I remember hearing about this guy in the 90's but I hadn't heard all the details.. Just subbed.. I bet your channel is about to skyrocket!!!
I just want to tell this here A online friend from my sister, So, she Had a boyfriend who got abused from his dad and also had brain cancer. He Beat it and was cancer free. But he has committed suicide due to the abusing and so on. His father got into Jail for abusing him and so on and now to the friend of my sister. She has committed suicide 9 times because her boyfriend died. but she never succeeded in it. she tried to hang herself when her little sister was talking on roblox with my sis bc her friend gave the acc to her little sister and she heard a noise and ran to the noise and saw that she wanted to commit it again They called an ambulance and she is in a hospital and she will go in a mental hospital To get better health Its really sad what happened to her boyfriend hope she will be ok 🙏
The biggest problem with these videos is…..I WISH THEY WERE LONGER!! I for one LOVE deep dive videos that are anywhere from 30-60 mins. I just discovered this channel and I’m sure that’s probably why it was never recommended to me despite the fact I watch A TON of true crime content. Either way this kid has a great voice for narration and he makes good content.
Jack you are a pleasure to watch and listen to. Thanks for your perfectly balanced content. It’s a little bit of everything but never strays from its main essence. Always very well done. Great taste and grace. Fantastic.
Hey Jack, haven't seen you in awhile. Glad you're doing what you do. You're a great story teller, and presenter. I've always liked your content. Keep it real and you will go far.
Jack I have respect for you. You sit through these long ass sad stories just for our entertainment definitely subscribing keep up the amazing good work bro.
I watched this Dateline years ago when It originally aired. LITERALLY this episode has stuck with me ever since. His disturbing decisions and decent in madness were unbelievably shocking.
For a research project in college I watched about 80% of the tapes that you could download… honestly it was more sad and depressing than scary after you get to know this guy. The dude spiraled and over months it kept getting worse.
I’m..young and thought about what you talking about at the end but now I ashamed of thinking about it because it won’t just effect me it will effect the people around me than you jack from the bottom of my heart
There's no need to be ashamed. Please reach out to someone you are close to. There is help out there for any problems you are experiencing. Thank you for your comment and I truly hope the best for you. Any issue can be overcome or dealt with in new light.
@@sharkbait3332 I actually did it once, with one of my close friends, and she was also suffering the same exact thing, and now since I’m Christian, I always think to myself whenever I think those bad thoughts, I always say, “God wouldn’t like it if I ****** myself, he made me, I have so much more to live for, for him, for my family.” Thank you, Jack Neel, for opening my eyes. Thank you
I know that some people have those thoughts of suicide, me included. It’s funny how a little time usually changes that perspective. Get help if you stay in that mindset. Once your dead, your dead. There is a Heaven and a Hell for eternity. God is real.
I am obsessed with your videos! Please, do not take that the wrong way, I just love your contents and your unique story telling technique. After this story, was not sure if I should even use the word "obsessed" lol. Sad and tragic story, mental illness is not something to be ignored. 😞I also binge watch your shorts, and recently been watching the longer videos. ♥️ Unfortunately, MrBallen is still #1 in my book 😏 However, both of you have awesome narrative skills!! 👍🏼👍🏼
@@oktoberina True but at the same time OP is aware of that and clarified with "do not take that the wrong way." Not even sure what you're aiming at by pointing out the obvious there.
I stumbled upon your videos last year or so and I've enjoyed your content and your narration skills are wonderful. Thank you for your hard work. Mr. Ballin would be proud. ☺️
Added this to my binge watch playlist for after my knee surgery tomorrow! I actually have all of your videos in said playlist. Regarding the case covered, I personally believe that people who worship others like Ricardo did Bjork felt so lonely and unloved by their family during childhood. This would lead to them just wanting love and approval from someone they think highly of. Such a sad deal.
Hey man, just wanted to say I love your videos and theres also a fun fact about sulfuric acid: it is called "Jack's Acid" after a famous rhyme about the chemical that goes like this: "Jack loves to cry a lot, But Jack will cry no more, For what he thought was H2O, Was H2SO4." I heard you talking about it and I remembered my chemistry teacher telling me that rhyme anyways have a great day jack :)
Happy new years,I hope you and everyone else in the comments are doing great, remember to relax, take breaks and do what you enjoy.And of course make the best out of your year. Idk if this should be shared but today I moved up a rank in my violin class so now I'll be playing harder songs just something I wanted to share.
Gynecomastia is actually horrible. Kids in school were relentless, I was actually tortured by many of them. Essentially If you are a male and have this, your upper body develops like a female. My surgery was on July 10, 1979 I was 20, and that was badly botched. Honestly the scars are worse than having the overgrown tissue. The surgeon lied and said the scars would be very small and not noticeable. I am now over 60 and have never taken my shirt off in public! Reconstructive surgery to correct the butcher job he did was unattainable, was very expensive and needed to be paid advance. I am very successful and NEVER looked back. I see various posts all the time with guys in the gym complaining about body dysmorphia, I relate so well with them. Thank you so much for sharing. There is a CSI episode "The Case of the Cross Dressing Carp" that shows the condition and the sad results in detail. Please please talk to someone, YOU are a Survivor!
Hey. Just wanted to tell you that ladies dig scars. You could maybe even spin questions about them into cool stories or even pickup lines. "How'd you get those scars?" "I actually saw you a while ago, and my heart leapt outta my chest. They put it back... but on the wrong side! 😖"
I got drug induced gyno, mostly only noticeable on one side. Doctors didn't take me seriously and said the tissue would disappear. It ended up scarring over before I could buy drugs online (SERMs) meant to reduce it. I was saving up for the surgery (couple thousand), but kind of came to get used to it even though it can be uncomfortable sometimes. It's not BAD, but like you said, it's different when you're the one looking at it in the mirror every day or you feel that weird sensation sometimes, you know what I'm talking about. I wish male body dysmorphia was more talked away, but it's unfortunately just becoming worse now with male beauty standards. Hope you're doing well old pal
Bro your videos are amazing I anticipate every upload you're a great content creator and an amazing narrator I love watching your videos while I'm gaming or just doing other random things they're amazing so keep up the good work brother and stay safe
You keep having to remember that he was making these videos in the 90s, long before TH-cam or other video sharing platforms existed, meaning that nobody (other than the police) was seeing them; which makes it all the more eerie when he addresses the camera as 'my friends' or 'everybody' as if he's talking to an audience. It feels eerie watching these on youtube because he sounds like a vlogger, it fits on the platform perfectly. You keep having to remember that he's not making these for an audience. He's alone, often late at night, talking to nobody.
its so tragic. seeing how a normal guy can turn so corrupted in a matter of seconds. never think of the worst for you. always remember you are a important part in somebodies life.
This is one of only a few cases where has genuinely disturbed me. Another factor are these low resolution leaks of the crime scene photos of Ricardo's apartment and his body (which was shown here)--the photos with his body are disturbing because his head is obscured and the leak has a pink hue over it, making it more disturbing to me.
I found myself a bit emotional recording the end of this video.
If you see this, and you’re genuinely struggling- know that things really get better, plenty of people have had similar thoughts, and there’s so much cool stuff you haven’t done.
Love you all. Love yourself too.
I hope you're having a good day

I was graduating high school when this happened and I remember this story all to well... took me on a trip back to memory lane. His painted face use to haunt me at night.. thanks for covering this story and resurfacing a true nightmare
Sounds like you're roughly about the same age as me. I also commented that I was 22 when this story happened in 96 but Bjork was my favorite singer in the early 90s. She was all over MTV and 180 Minutes at night. This took me right back to that time for sure.
I was only 8 years old, I'm shocked too.

His voice is really one of the thing that keeps me on edge when I hear these stories because you truly have a suspensful tone while talking. Keep up the good work!!
First video I’ve seen from this guy’s channel. I like the serious and respectful tone of this video.
My guy you do a hell of a job holding the attention of the viewer and that's actually a hard feat! I remember when this happened and you making feel like a current event for a school presentation on the news that week. Great work
I just have to say Jacks voice is so soothing, it’s a mood.
I remember watching the video of him unaliving himself on a website called Rotten (I don’t think it even exists anymore). I was like 13 or 14 and it was a bit traumatizing to see someone to out like that.
It's good that they're removing websites like these. People can be traumatised or even harm themselves by watching those kinds of videos.
Edit: they also have a shock value, so someone could've gotten a link to a website they don't know and see stuff like this without even wanting to
I would want to watch this
That noise he made at the end still haunts me.
Better himself than other people
@franky montana also seeing lives wasted that way... I couldn't care less about videogame gore, but real humans that existed dying that way just makes me sad
Like... you've got your whole life ahead of you, why do that??
Also to point out, this isn’t the only woman he obsessed about. The first was the girl who acted beetlejuice. He gave up when he found out she was married.
And the aftermath from the bjørk, well her and Goldie broke up days before his suicide.
Which girl?
Now imagine if Geena Davis was married to a black man maybe tha would've put him over the edge, for him a black man is inferior to him (in his mind anyway) but a white is superior or on his level (again in his mind) so he was ok with that. Anyway fck this loser
Winona Ryder? She's the one that was in Beetlejuice
@@noname-jh3bd His first obsession was Geena Davis.
“ if I die who’s gonna make the video about it.” It had me on the floor. 😂
I remember this case very clearly. Beyork is also one of my most favorite singers. I'm 48 years old so she was hitting stardom right when I was 18 and her music was spectacular, blasting all over MTV and the 180 Minutes alternative show on MTV. This case was everywhere on TV, in magazines, on the news....it was insane.

It’s great and heart warming to see you give the suicide hotline and information about them in the end. Qudos to you!
This was honestly one of the only cases that has made me sick to my stomach especially after watching the full tapes and seeing his decent into madness and how he was losing sleep and paranoid and on edge as the tapes go by.
Watching his suicide still makes my skin crawl that urggggg he let out after shooting himself was horrible and the blood hitting the floor with the silence is haunting, how did you feel after it??
I might as well say it now, you and MrBallen should collaborate and make an episode together, that would be so cool seeing 2 very good story tellers collaborate to make one episode together,

Thankyou for saying 'killing' and not 'unaliving' in your video. Faith restored.
This was very helpful. I’ve already started to address my issues and work through them whether it be homeschooling or headphones or ignoring what people say. Do not be hesitant to get help or help yourself, you’ll need it and it will feel much better
Congratulations! I'm happy you are working though the issues that were concerning you.
I feel kind of conflicted hitting the like button on your stories!, reason being, I absolutely love your story telling, but the content is just so horrific! You tell your stories so well I'm always a tad traumatized and or I'm praying for the victims and their families!!!! Side note, (absolutely nothing to do with your videos or channel!) Does anybody else hate when they put on these true crime stories and say "SOME" viewers may find this disturbing? Omg, "ALL" viewers should be disturbed!! !

I’m struggling really bad right now. I lost my wife of 20 years, my kids, my house, my job, and my financial security literally overnight. I don’t know how I’m gonna pick up the pieces. I’m completely broken. Luckily I’m able to stay with my folks. It’s still pretty embarrassing for a man in his 40’s. I’m hurting and I don’t know what to do. Therapy doesn’t work for me because I always pretend I’m someone else, it’s hard to explain. I don’t know what to do
It's going to be alright Jeff....think of it as a glich in the matrix of your life... choose to live again this time knowing you had accomplished and you can do it again...am praying for you
Just start over,maybe u need a new place like Thailand ,veitnam, or any such country where it's cheap living.
Get some online work,move there,start over with new traditional woman after a few years.
Gotta keep trying.
It's like any other wound. It takes time to heal. It sucks and it hurts but you just have to tend to your wounds
4:19 If only Hitler had known...
what scares me the most about this case is that just about anyone could end up like this man.
What scares me even more is that, i especially could end up like this. i develop obsessions and hyperfixations easily and if i was pushed far enough i could end up doing something like this, and knowing that scares me even more.
😥
Seek help!!!
Get some help. Wtf...
Plz seek help. The sooner the better. Admitting your situation is already a first step.
And have no stigmas against taking pills if you have to. They are for sure overused, but they also save lives when it's really necessary.
Much love to you
Find god seek help bro
I'm sure many ppl allready said this but u have an incredibly classy voice, great for commentary and storytelling. Good content my guy, have a blessed day.
Keep doing great things Jack. You are very much appreciated.
i sat and watched all the tapes without commentary, alone. It was truly disturbing to see someone slowly lose hope even when they could've turned it around for the better with the right help. I thought to myself many times how someone could ever live and think this way.

Bjork was an established artist by 1993, not an emerging one! She had already sung in The SugarCubes throughout the 80s and had done quite a but of solo work by 93! She just wasn't known by the "mainstream" at the time.
Always got to have one person bitching about nothing that matters.

That would make her emerging

This is one of my fears and the reason why I stop liking something before I get extremely obsessive
Do you tend to obsess, sweetie?
If so, it's easy enough to combat, if you come to understand why you do.
There's probably a vacancy somewhere that we're trying to fill. Or, it could be OCD, which is also very easily remedied.
Reach out, okay?
WTF
If you tend to normally get overly obsessed with things I think you need to seek help immediately, hon. Thats not normal.
We ALL obsess to some degree or another.
But not all of us will acknowledge, or even recognize it.
It's good to hear that you do, and are taking steps to keep it from getting to a harmful level. Still, you don't have to go it alone.
Onward & Upward, love.
I’m super crazy and obsessive. I’m not to the point I’ll hurt myself . But not others .
Now, I know this is screwed up but I am honestly impressed by his creative ability. Honestly his sulfuric acid sprayer thing is actually quite fascinating. (I swear I’m not insane)
How have I never stumbled across your channel before? I've been watching true crime for a few years and just found you TODAY! What a handsome fella you are and love the narration voice!!

This was one of the scariest cases I’ve seen. He was so disturbed
very surprised he didn't take a few with him
I just want to tell this here
A online friend from my sister, So, she Had a boyfriend who got abused from his dad and also had brain cancer. He Beat it and was cancer free. But he has committed suicide due to the abusing and so on. His father got into Jail for abusing him and so on and now to the friend of my sister.
She has committed suicide 9 times because her boyfriend died.
but she never succeeded in it.
she tried to hang herself when her little sister was talking on roblox with my sis
bc her friend gave the acc to her little sister
and she heard a noise
and ran to the noise and saw that she wanted to commit it again
They called an ambulance and she is in a hospital and she will go in a mental hospital
To get better health
Its really sad what happened to her boyfriend hope she will be ok 🙏
The biggest problem with these videos is…..I WISH THEY WERE LONGER!! I for one LOVE deep dive videos that are anywhere from 30-60 mins. I just discovered this channel and I’m sure that’s probably why it was never recommended to me despite the fact I watch A TON of true crime content. Either way this kid has a great voice for narration and he makes good content.
Jack neel got the perfect narrating voice, He needs to be on the news/tv or radio
3:34 I'm trying to be serious but after the trend that went with this clip I just started dying laughing 💀💀
Jack you are a pleasure to watch and listen to. Thanks for your perfectly balanced content. It’s a little bit of everything but never strays from its main essence. Always very well done. Great taste and grace. Fantastic.
Hey Jack, haven't seen you in awhile. Glad you're doing what you do. You're a great story teller, and presenter. I've always liked your content. Keep it real and you will go far.

For a research project in college I watched about 80% of the tapes that you could download… honestly it was more sad and depressing than scary after you get to know this guy. The dude spiraled and over months it kept getting worse.

There's no need to be ashamed. Please reach out to someone you are close to. There is help out there for any problems you are experiencing. Thank you for your comment and I truly hope the best for you. Any issue can be overcome or dealt with in new light.
@@sharkbait3332 I actually did it once, with one of my close friends, and she was also suffering the same exact thing, and now since I’m Christian, I always think to myself whenever I think those bad thoughts, I always say, “God wouldn’t like it if I ****** myself, he made me, I have so much more to live for, for him, for my family.” Thank you, Jack Neel, for opening my eyes. Thank you
I hope God leads you to the persons who can help. Please talk with someone you trust, maybe school counselor or nurse. Blessings.
I know that some people have those thoughts of suicide, me included. It’s funny how a little time usually changes that perspective. Get help if you stay in that mindset. Once your dead, your dead. There is a Heaven and a Hell for eternity. God is real.

Added this to my binge watch playlist for after my knee surgery tomorrow! I actually have all of your videos in said playlist. Regarding the case covered, I personally believe that people who worship others like Ricardo did Bjork felt so lonely and unloved by their family during childhood. This would lead to them just wanting love and approval from someone they think highly of. Such a sad deal.
Hey man, just wanted to say I love your videos and theres also a fun fact about sulfuric acid: it is called "Jack's Acid" after a famous rhyme about the chemical that goes like this: "Jack loves to cry a lot,
But Jack will cry no more,
For what he thought was H2O,
Was H2SO4."
I heard you talking about it and I remembered my chemistry teacher telling me that rhyme anyways have a great day jack :)
that rhyme is actually sad.
Damn, jack didn’t even know what hit him. 💀🗿

Gynecomastia is actually horrible. Kids in school were relentless, I was actually tortured by many of them. Essentially If you are a male and have this, your upper body develops like a female. My surgery was on July 10, 1979 I was 20, and that was badly botched. Honestly the scars are worse than having the overgrown tissue. The surgeon lied and said the scars would be very small and not noticeable. I am now over 60 and have never taken my shirt off in public! Reconstructive surgery to correct the butcher job he did was unattainable, was very expensive and needed to be paid advance. I am very successful and NEVER looked back. I see various posts all the time with guys in the gym complaining about body dysmorphia, I relate so well with them. Thank you so much for sharing. There is a CSI episode "The Case of the Cross Dressing Carp" that shows the condition and the sad results in detail. Please please talk to someone, YOU are a Survivor!
Hey.
Just wanted to tell you that ladies dig scars.
You could maybe even spin questions about them into cool stories or even pickup lines.
"How'd you get those scars?"
"I actually saw you a while ago, and my heart leapt outta my chest. They put it back... but on the wrong side! 😖"
I got drug induced gyno, mostly only noticeable on one side. Doctors didn't take me seriously and said the tissue would disappear. It ended up scarring over before I could buy drugs online (SERMs) meant to reduce it. I was saving up for the surgery (couple thousand), but kind of came to get used to it even though it can be uncomfortable sometimes. It's not BAD, but like you said, it's different when you're the one looking at it in the mirror every day or you feel that weird sensation sometimes, you know what I'm talking about.
I wish male body dysmorphia was more talked away, but it's unfortunately just becoming worse now with male beauty standards. Hope you're doing well old pal

You keep having to remember that he was making these videos in the 90s, long before TH-cam or other video sharing platforms existed, meaning that nobody (other than the police) was seeing them; which makes it all the more eerie when he addresses the camera as 'my friends' or 'everybody' as if he's talking to an audience. It feels eerie watching these on youtube because he sounds like a vlogger, it fits on the platform perfectly. You keep having to remember that he's not making these for an audience. He's alone, often late at night, talking to nobody.
Mental health really needs to be taken seriously more in the world we live in

This is one of only a few cases where has genuinely disturbed me. Another factor are these low resolution leaks of the crime scene photos of Ricardo's apartment and his body (which was shown here)--the photos with his body are disturbing because his head is obscured and the leak has a pink hue over it, making it more disturbing to me.
Imagine how horrifying this would be for bjork😳
