I love when they give a like 400 year life sentence, it’s like “yeah the life expectancy is 75 years but just in case all the sacrifices you made really did give you immortality let’s just tack on an extra 325 years”
If I understand the logic behind it correctly, they get X number of years per confirmed victim. So, if they ever get exonerated from one murder, there are still all the others keeping the killers in jail, instead of having to let them out and restart the entire several years long court process.
I gotta say, that disclaimer Wendigoon put at the end about getting out of the rabbit hole and recognizing that the world, while it contains terrible people like the ones in the iceberg, is full of even more wonderful people was a fantastic decision. That really does mean a lot and he didn’t need to include it, but he did anyways and it made the experience all the better for it. Fantastic job covering this!
@@dimadmitrov2615 Depends on the context. The kindest of acts are done at a detriment to the person doing it, during a part of their life where things aren't going great. I mean, Schindler's List is a movie about someone just doing something truly kind, elevated by all the evil going on around the event. An ice berg would be uncovering those times people did everything in their power to help everyone else, which IS good, it's the archetypical hero story lol
I really like how Wendi treats the cases with respect, one complaint that I have about other true crime/horror channels is that they try to overdramatize every story by putting eerie music, dramatic pauses and even screaming and crying sound effects while talking about the murders of real people, like, come on man, you're talking about a REAL person who died, at least treat them with respect. Props to you Wendigoon.
What channels are you watching? True crime is my fave genre, maybe try out TH-camrs like Stephanie Harlowe if you want all the facts of a case with no…uh…whatever you’d call the dramatization lol
Man good for you for drawing boundaries with that one child killer. YOU choose what you're comfortable sharing, don't let anyone pressure you into anything otherwise
I have heard about Bevan VE and his horrific crimes. It's been talked about somewhat rarely in Australian crime (at least recently), which is a pity for the victims but a huge win to make sure that this man is never remembered. Not talking about him is absolutely the right choice.
@MrRamrod1337 People have access to the iceberg. They're gonna question why he didn't mention it. "Pathetic moral grand standing" is the flimsiest reach, I'm shocked it survived being ripped through your clenched asshole.
@@MrRamrod1337no it's because he wanted to outline what was on the iceberg and why he wasn't sharing. He's not the only person who looks at the iceberg and much like the disclaimer at the beginning where he explained why he wasn't doing some of the things listed on the iceberg, he does the same there
Ervil LeBaron has the most generically evil sounding names I’ve heard in a minute, like if I was told that someone named Ervil LaBaron was infamous for tying people to train tracks in the old west and that’s why it’s a trope I’d not be surprised
I love how dedicated he is. He doesn’t tease us fans with random bs and always delivers and calls himself out before anyone can even try to. We stan a true TH-cam prodigy.
With the Miyazaki case, I think a big thing that was left out is that his grandfather got him into adult content, and that they had three psychiatrists test him, and 2 of them said he was sane while one said he was insane.
I love how Wendi uses normal pictures of the killers. He doesn't find creepy, or photoshop pictures, to make it creepier. Cuz honestly seeing them looking like everyone else is creepier.
yes he is all into this but can not express any thoughts on human sexuality except his stupid fingers and 'kisk' WTF no, ask him what he thinks about the LGBTQ community.
@@bigjoe1103 the person you're talking to isn't making any sense but human rights aren't 'politics'. Gay and trans people arent political statements theyre people ??
@@impartialghost when was the last time you heard of a trans republican or a traditionalist christian democrat? they most definitely are directly associated with political movements and beliefs.
I really respect wendigoon with stuff like this, he has like a really good sense of not exploiting victims while still being interesting and you never really feel gross after his videos, like some true crime stuff makes me feel wrong especially with kids and i just respect you setting boundaries. so good job ig keep doing what youre doing man
the depravity of the crimes is part of what makes this subject matter so fascinating to me. it's good that he doesn't go farther into it than he wants to, but I won't lie, with my morbid curiosity i wanna know as many gruesome details as possible
@@ruesylvester that’s valid and yeah the interesting parts are the deprived parts. But most true crime discussions involve that kinda details it’s just nice to see someone share the interest without the exploitation of victims. I respect him sticking to his boundaries ya know. You don’t see it alot online
@@mrselfdestruct7605 Agreed and he puts the title of the victim in the title, not the killer. It reminds you who to focus on which is really nice of him
I live in Michigan and while I’m greatly interested by horror I am a huge scaredy-cat. I have been binge watching all of these serial killer iceberg videos in order, and every night I reassured myself that all these people were from times way before I was born and most of them happened nowhere near by where I live. Safe to say I have never before been so scared by the words “Detroit, Michigan”.
I love how 3 of the most famous miyazakis of all time are a genius game developer, a director with a style and sense of joy unmatched to this day, and a serial killer
@@WaitingToBeAGhost Miyazaki kills people with comically large swords, Miyazaki kills people by making them depressed about how they don’t live in a Ghibli movie, and Miyazaki kills people by killing them
Shout out to the surviving victim of Atkins for repeatedly going in to try and ID her attacker. That sounds so time consuming and emotionally exhausting
Respect for sticking to your own morals and talking about what you want to. Also, can't wait for the historical killer one, personally I think I'll find that a lot more fascinating.
I have to say that I used to be the guy that was overly interested in Serial Killers and this series has brought them to me with a new light, thank you for making me realize that Serial Killers don’t deserve cool names, that may seem odd to say but here it is
I love how Wendi not only talks of these cases and victims respectfully, but it’s true crime you can indulge in without having all the spooky music, etc. I love to see this channels growth throughout the past almost year I’ve been watching. I hope success continues to come your way, and I can’t wait to see what becomes of your channel in the future😁
Honestly, Wendi’s videos are so comfy and casual despite the gruesome/weird subject matter. It almost feels like I went over to his house for a cup of coffee and the convo naturally drifted to the worst serial killers in history. It’s great!
dude honestly has such a non threatening voice, i can watch his videos in the middle of the night high af and not bug tf out given the topics of the video. i appreciate how easily digestible and easy to understand they are. keep up the great work!
On the john haigh thing I remember studying this case in forensics in wich he got the sulfuric acid from a fake nail factory that either he owned or knew someone that owned it I can't remember that specific part but the two things that always stuck out about this case to me is that in questioning John famously boasted " how do you have a case for murder when there's no body to be recovered" which is a line repeated in many killer movies and shows but also an investigator who was looking into John was leaving his property and while walking down the gravel driveway noticed a strange looking stone that was different from the rest it was a kidney stone from a wealthy business woman
you fucking ANNIHILATED the internet this year wendi, i'm so happy i got to watch you grow from 30k and you've become such a comforting personality, even with this subject matter - thank you for everything you do :)
Ok, but like, Dad really went "There were three names on this list I didn't want to cover, so I took them off and added FIVE others." This is why he's the best.
@@dangazobiton9774 probably to avoid like any racial discourse in the comments, very easy for racists to take the actions of certain people's and place it on every single person of said race
@@theeeeeerrrk the thing is, whenever a non-black serial killer targets any other specific race and everyone in the comments writes about the "evil huwhities" no one really complains about that and calls them racist.
John Haigh is easily the most infuriating out of all these for me. While absolutely not justifiable, at least the other killers had trauma or mental illness which explained WHY they killed, John Haigh literally just did it for money and then kept gambling it all away. Oh, and OF COURSE he pulled a Nicholas Cruz when he got caught.
It’s so depressing. Luring innocent people to their death and just stealing their shit, selling it for money, and then losing the money because you’re a loser. What a sorry lad.
I dunno, he killed for reason that made sense While others killed prostitues because there were sick, but John is also sick, but I mean money makes sense
i wrote a paper in college on Tsutomu Miyazaki, being Japanese myself i could read the original news from the Japanese sources and just reading the details was awful. it's such a horrible case, it still sticks with me to this day.
How did he kill with those fucked up hands 😭 I'm only making fun of the killer obviously if you have a disability it's not funny and the child miyazaki should've never been bullied and other shouldn't either but that doesn't mean miyazaki is good he deserved everything that came to him and more.
@@DrDark-im9kv that violent “lobster man” circus guy had a similar disability. People who knew him said he had less fingers but massive hand strength. Strangling someone is still possible wearing mittens if you catch my drift
So I swear I heard that his hands were deformed because he was a product of incest (or maybe that was a different Japanese serial killer with fucked hands) what do you know about that?
I almost feel bad for him cause if he had better people in his life maybe they could've helped him when he was a child and prevented his mind from becoming so.. messed up.
When you do the historical serial killers it would be really interesting to hear you talk about Gilles de Rais. Especially since there have been efforts to exhonerate him recently
I believe people were questioning it because he admitted them under threat of torture. This conflicts his demeanor during his burning/hanging though, because apparently he was so damn calm that they made it a holiday for 100 years after that where they would whip their kids on the day he died. I find it very unlikely that he could be so calm during his execution, but confess out of fear of torture.
@@rosagonzalez9644 Probably because untold numbers of people have been falsely accused and brutally murdered/executed throughout history that if there's any reasonable doubt, it's hard not to investigate the potential innocence of a person
@BlackCheezit According to historians, Hitler had psychopathy, Asperger's, bipolar, schizophrenia, narcissism and PTSD, on top of all that he also did crack, meth and opiates, and also had syphilis and Parkinson's. And he had one testicle, an acorn for a brain, half a lung, three stomachs, no liver and the genes of a gorilla, mountain lion and centipede spliced together. No wonder he shot himself. Very sad.
On all of those stories i keep asking myself the same question... How do all those people get their hands on just barrels of acid? Is there some acid evil villan factory selling it everywhere?
It is easy to get, acids has so many different applications. I have a barrel of undiluted sulphuric acid for cleaning of car rims (of course I dilute it a lot before applying it to rims)
Perhaps they should only sell it diluted then so that it looks sus if they buy a ton. But theyll always find a way to do what they want. I can't imagine what goes thru employees minds when they see a sus person who buys acid and rope and all that....
This tier is over and we’re just around the corner from the conspiracy theory iceberg coming to an end. It’s kind of bittersweet seeing your growth during these series’s and knowing they’re coming to a close but I couldn’t be more excited for what the future holds for you bud, best YT channel in a LOOONG time.
I love the fact that he takes time to leave a good message at the end about how most of the world is actually beautiful and is full of good people. Props to this awesome TH-camr!
I think a good ‘positive’ creepy video would be to talk about people who survived or even brought their attackers to justice. Or like the best take downs of villains
Ok the way John Haigh kept repeatedly convincing people to come with him to the basement so he could kill and melt them was almost comical but still pretty horrible
thank you for covering obscure, less known, and/or depraved murderers without glorifying the heinous acts they committed against humanity. love your videos
I really enjoy iceberg Videos like this because they're long, full of different events with detail, and I don't have to change the video every 10 minutes while doing my cleaning job ! It's hard clicking on another video while having mop water on your hand haha. Thanks for all the quality videos wendigoon!!
Wendigoon’s consistency in both upload time and supreme video quality is incredible and well above the average. Thanks man for so much amazing content!!
Mad respect to Wendigoon for having a stance on not speaking on some things. I survived some horrible stuff and while I'm 10 years later finally able to talk about it without going into a full panic attack, that doesn't mean I want to. Thankful that God is using you for your talents, of sharing stories with the world! Love your videos, dude!
Man your smile and grin when you talk about your subscribers, being able to make these videos and how much it means to have us support you in order to do so is so heartwarming Wendi! You have one of the few channels I’m subscribed to to which I look forward so much uploading new videos. Thanks for creating some of the most interesting, and fascinating content I’ve found on the platform! Also it’d be awesome to see you start to create more SCP content in future, I only recently started getting into that (over the last couple of months or so) and it’s massively intriguing; it’d be great to see your take on some of them too. Thanks for all you do! 😃
The Butcher Baker murders were always a crazy story hearing about growing up, my father even visited the bakery often when he grew up in Anchorage, claiming that police officers were regulars in the shop. The bodies were all found along the Matanuska River out where I grew up outside Palmer, Alaska, specifically in an area known as the Butte. There are further murders that are allegedly attributed to him as he kept a map of the murders and where they were killed, and many bodies that were either suspected or claimed by him have never been found because the river siltbeds change so drastically from year to year as the glacier melt varies.
Oh it was "Butcher Baker", I originally heard "butcher Biker" and for the entirety of the tale I was like "okay but where the biker part comes into play ?" It makes much more sense now (though sadly I still don't have the crazy biker that I hyped myself about :( )
He had two unidentified victims, and one of them was only recently identified in the past few months. She spent nearly 40 years as Horseshoe Harriet, but her name was Robin Pelkey and she was only 19 when she was murdered.
I am with you about that one murderer you don't want to talk about. It's very very distasteful when I hear bad things being done to children. This series is very cool in it on itself. However, the main event for me is the conspiracy iceberg. I'm so hyped to hear that it will be out soon!
i came across this channel because of the iceberg series and i really enjoyed this more condensed form of content looking into the psyche of some truly messed up people but i respect that you don't want to cover some of the more exploitative parts of true crime and honestly i think we'd watch anything you put out so take a good rest after this, man, and just make content that makes you happy too
I enjoy that you don’t glorify the killers. Reminds me of how LPOTL makes fun of the murderers and killers. Either way, I enjoy your takes and story telling
@@AriaFromMahabre it’s different with tons of side commentary and dark humor, but if it’s your jam, try some of their heavy hitter episodes first to see if you like it. Black Plague is some of their best work to date.
@@AriaFromMahabre fair warning that very few topics are off the table for them to joke about. Lol I always say “if you’re offended by jokes about...basically anything, it probably won’t be your cup of tea.”
I read the memoir of a girl who was part of the LeBaron sect. She almost ended up as one of Ervils child brides but then married one of his brothers instead. The book is called “Escape from Polygamy” and it’s an interesting read but sad for the poor women trapped in all this.
read about Bevan on my own after wendigoon's refusal to talk about him. It's unfathomable how someone could have the capacity to do that. I don't blame Wendigoon for skipping that one.
honestly this is my favorite tier list youve done so far. sad its ending but looking forward to your future stuff. Thanks for keeping me going bro, fav youtuber fr
I genuinely really love the reminders at the end of these videos that this is just the worst the world has to offer and that we really are capable of love and kindness. There's something about hearing about all these depraved people that leaves me feeling really jaded after my true crime binges, but those reminders do really help to bring me back down. Thank you as always for the wonderful content man, look forward to whatever comes next :)
I had never heard of that Australian serial killer. I’m living in Australia, so thanks for at least mentioning the case so I can look into it. There haven’t been that many Australian serial killers. Pretty sure Ivan Milat is the only really infamous one.
Wendigoon I found your channel randomly about 2 months ago. Now here I am eagerly awaiting each time you drop a new video. Thank you for the rabbit hole I fell into. Love the WendiDude by the way.
I always appreciate that the victims are never really gone into detail in most cases I feel as if that’s focused on to much I greatly appreciate focusing on the killers themselves
Ya know, the fictional stuff never really bothers me. The Mandela catalogue or SCP wiki and anything if that sort just come off as fun scary stories that i find more interesting than terrifying. The real sickos, however, are both terrifying and depressing. Still morbidly curious, but hearing about real life shit like this just hits different.
The Robert Hanson story really hit me. Feels like the plot to a cheesy slash. A crazed huntsman tracking young women thought the wilderness. Really haunts me.
@@CopiousTurtle Is it "The Frozen Ground" by any chance? The story reminded me of the book "The Most Dangerous Game", so I just punched in that plus his name and that’s the movie I saw mentioned
Yay I just rewatched the whole series and the unsolved mysteries iceberg then this video came out perfectly when I went back to my subscriptions, I already know it's going to be amazing
I was raised for half my childhood as a Mormon and was actually bullied a ton for it because of the multiple wife belief. The multiple wives started because Mormons were being killed and run out of where they lived. The church encouraged you to take on another family if you could afford it and had the room for them. Once they had stopped being run off and killed multiple wives was banned and discouraged. Those that wanted to keep doing it separated and are now called the flds which stands for fundamentalist latter day saints which are completely separate from the lds Mormons. Thank you for acknowledging that misspread of information and informing others, even if I'm not Mormon anymore I wish more people knew the actual background it would stop so much hate towards them.
@juicewar3805 ok? Never said it was a good thing? Was simply saying lds isn't polygamy meanwhile flds does that. They don't associate with eachother because they don't agree so your comment is weird bud.
Ehhhh, I was also raised Mormon, and that is a common justification that's given *today* for polygamy from the Church, but its not really true. Polygamy started with Joseph Smith in Nauvoo when the Mormons were in a relatively secure position. Joseph would use this new "doctrine of plural marriage" to justify marrying the women that he wanted to, this included girls as young as 14 and also other mens' wives. He kept this secret, at the time, and restricted its knowledge to certain church leaders, which included Brigham Young. The newspaper "The Nauvoo Expositor" found out about this and ran the story, which made Joseph *very* mad. He formed a mob and destroyed the printing presses, which eventually led to him being jailed at Carthage Jail. This is where a mob stormed the jail and killed him. The ensuing succession crisis is when the church split into a bunch of different factions, but the pro-polygamy Brigham Young faction is the one that most members followed to Utah. Polygamy flourished in Utah, especially among well-to-do, highly connected men. This wasn't due to a lack of men for all of these women, or a high number of widows, this was done because that's how the mainline church worked then. Frankly, it was done because the leaders of the church wanted more women. After polygamy was banned around the turn of the century, many prominent members of the mainline church *continued* to practice it in secret until the 1920s. There are a lot of justifications that the modern Mormon church for Polygamy. I feel like its a way for modern Mormons to avoid confronting a very uncomfortable fact: The Mormon Church under Brigham Young was *much* more similar to the FLDS or LaBarons than Mormons would like it to be.
Congrats on all of the success you've achieved in such a small amount of time. You present yourself very humbly and I think a lot of people really appreciate that. You seem like one of the most chill, real and down to earth dudes on here which is somewhat ironic considering what you usually cover. I'd kill to have a friend like you to talk to. Keep up the good work.
Joined like 6 months ago, and you were, I think, under 100,000 subs. Which is insane to think about. You've multiplied that in sub count over 8 times in 6 months. I'm a huge fan, and you ABSOLUTELY deserve all the love and support.
one thing about the otaku killer that is a bit funny in a sad sort of way; when he was being featured in newspapers and such, attacks on otakus became quite prevalent, not just in the media but physically as well. imagine going to buy the newest volume of chainsawman and some old fart goes for a right hook to your head.
As an Aussie I've heard a lot about von Einem - was a bit jarring seeing him pop up again on this list and I agree with your choice. Not much more to say about him other than he was a monster and we all hate him
Congrats Wendi on finishing the iceberg! I think what keeps me coming to your channel is the respect you have for the people involved in these horrible events and how you always end on a positive note and remind us that even when there are evil people there will good people who do everything to stop them. I would love to see a video in the future where you discuss people who helped catch certain serial killers and people who fought against them. Thank you again Wendi!
I really love how respectful you are to the victims and their families. You still keep the video interesting and entertaining! Super excited for the historical killers video!
29:27 My dad actually met Adolfo Constanzo a few times before he started his rampage. He grew up in Matamoros around the time Adolfo was there. My grandmother even invited him over to eat a few times, since he was apparently a friend of a friend of my dad’s. She described him as being “very crude and edgy” (in Spanish). My dad personally believes that his worst early crimes were done because his even edgier girlfriend pushed him to do them. He told me all of this unprompted on a long car ride after hearing Adolfo’s story being told in one of the podcasts he listens to. I don’t think I’ve ever been more surprised in my life. The thing that stuck with me the most is that he was mad that the Mexican police was very uninterested in catching him until an American became a victim. Then (and only then) did they decide to do something.
Even after years of watching true crime and horror videos I’m still sensitive to it and it can fuck up my day to listen to stuff like this for more than an hour or two but I really love your content! And I think your outro about this being a blip of darkness in the world was a great way to end the video.
I definitely understand, and appreciate, your stance on preserving the concept of "unspeakable acts", and that's super cool, man. I don't know how many times I've followed Alice into somewhere I wish I hadn't. There are acts of inconceivable barbarism that will never escape the confines of the mind once they're made aware of, and the only outcome of knowing such things, is a confounding sorrow and the humbling realization that some things are impossible to comprehend. Congratulations on 850k subs, my friend, I can't think of a more deserving content creator, and just an all around good human! Cheers!
this. I used to be really deep into learning about crime and human degenecy because it was interesting, but i had to stop when I learned too many details about zoo sadism and the EXACT way they would abuse baby animals. I still sometimes have intrusive thoughts about it and wish I could just go back and never learn about it.
@@littletechn8175 I experience something similar. It’s kind of like when Adam and Eve ate the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The whole point of the story is that once you know both good and evil, you have to constantly make the conscious decision to chose good instead of evil, whereas before you had no concept of evil and can thus never perform it.
@@littletechn8175 Exactly this. One of my biggest “wish I could forget” memories is an audio clip of that sort of thing. It doesn’t loop in my head anymore, but I can never unhear it.
God I remember when he was just doing the conspiracy iceberg. Absolutely insane that he's nearly at 1 million subs, but I totally get it. Man's honest, got a good personality, morals and ethics, and appeals to everybody's morbid curiosity side. As always, it's a pleasure to watch. :)
Wendi, big hugs to you. We know it's interesting to us, but not to you, and we appreciate how much you do for us. Your content is 5 stars, but we totally understand that this isn't the content you want to produce.
i just recently found your channel and i LOVE your content! that idea of a historical serial killer video is a great video idea! keep up the good work i cant wait for more!
This last part has been in the making for around a year now i believe, i couldn’t be more thankful that you made these horrific, interesting, and most of all campy videos for all of us. Thank you Wendigoon! :)
i spent the last few days watching this series and i just wanna say that you did an amazing job. i also really appreciate that you didn't into depth with guys like con einem. amazing videos, i'm gonna jump straight to the conspiracy iceberg now
Thank you for clarifying the polygamy misconception. Many believe that Mormons still practice it, which s not the case. Very few youtubers get that right.
Yeah the break off portions of the church are as different as a Protestant and a catholic from what I’ve learned. It’s great to see wendigoon cover it while dispelling the the misconception.
Nah, I don't blame you for not covering that von Einem guy. I did a little research out of morbid curiosity I guess and... well, I think you made the right decision there hah. Its extremely graphic and I'm not sure if you would be able to tone down those details while also keeping the integrity of the victim.
I was just thinking the same thing. I followed that case in the past, and that guy's the most disgusting scumbag I've ever heard of, I think. Or rather he and his accomplices, because everyone knows that there was more than one person involved in those killings, and it's even pretty well known who one of those people was, but that person is dead now, and the only one they ever had physical evidence against was von Einem. :/ At least he's dead now too.
@@schunschtorm in short he abducted, drugged, raped, and murdered a 15 year old boy named Richard kelvin (he’s believed to have killed/raped 5 others but he’s only convicted of the one death). The boy was found in the fetal position and believed to have been killed 3 days prior to his disappearance. He was said to have died from blood loss from his uh extremities. I won’t go into more detail there :/ it’s gruesome. Either way von Einem was convicted off of the drugs found at his house and hair follicles on the body as well as his story not making any sense at all, among other things.

I love when they give a like 400 year life sentence, it’s like “yeah the life expectancy is 75 years but just in case all the sacrifices you made really did give you immortality let’s just tack on an extra 325 years”
If I understand the logic behind it correctly, they get X number of years per confirmed victim. So, if they ever get exonerated from one murder, there are still all the others keeping the killers in jail, instead of having to let them out and restart the entire several years long court process.
Goof
I think it works that since he had multiple charges, he got charged the years for each conviction
@@ArDeeMee That is actually really smart, never realized the logic behind it

I gotta say, that disclaimer Wendigoon put at the end about getting out of the rabbit hole and recognizing that the world, while it contains terrible people like the ones in the iceberg, is full of even more wonderful people was a fantastic decision.

''The dad, rightfully so, tried to beat him to death'' - I completely agree with you on this one
I really like how Wendi treats the cases with respect, one complaint that I have about other true crime/horror channels is that they try to overdramatize every story by putting eerie music, dramatic pauses and even screaming and crying sound effects while talking about the murders of real people, like, come on man, you're talking about a REAL person who died, at least treat them with respect.

John Haigh is easily the most infuriating out of all these for me. While absolutely not justifiable, at least the other killers had trauma or mental illness which explained WHY they killed, John Haigh literally just did it for money and then kept gambling it all away. Oh, and OF COURSE he pulled a Nicholas Cruz when he got caught.
Or perhaps Nicholas Cruz pulled a John Haigh
It’s so depressing. Luring innocent people to their death and just stealing their shit, selling it for money, and then losing the money because you’re a loser. What a sorry lad.

i wrote a paper in college on Tsutomu Miyazaki, being Japanese myself i could read the original news from the Japanese sources and just reading the details was awful. it's such a horrible case, it still sticks with me to this day.
How did he kill with those fucked up hands 😭
I'm only making fun of the killer obviously if you have a disability it's not funny and the child miyazaki should've never been bullied and other shouldn't either but that doesn't mean miyazaki is good he deserved everything that came to him and more.
@@DrDark-im9kv that violent “lobster man” circus guy had a similar disability. People who knew him said he had less fingers but massive hand strength. Strangling someone is still possible wearing mittens if you catch my drift
The raaaat mannnn
So I swear I heard that his hands were deformed because he was a product of incest (or maybe that was a different Japanese serial killer with fucked hands) what do you know about that?
I almost feel bad for him cause if he had better people in his life maybe they could've helped him when he was a child and prevented his mind from becoming so.. messed up.
When you do the historical serial killers it would be really interesting to hear you talk about Gilles de Rais. Especially since there have been efforts to exhonerate him recently
I believe people were questioning it because he admitted them under threat of torture. This conflicts his demeanor during his burning/hanging though, because apparently he was so damn calm that they made it a holiday for 100 years after that where they would whip their kids on the day he died. I find it very unlikely that he could be so calm during his execution, but confess out of fear of torture.
@@dannyboy5564 Interesting, I didn't know about how calm he was or the holiday
May i ask why they’re trying to exhonerate him?
@@rosagonzalez9644 Probably because untold numbers of people have been falsely accused and brutally murdered/executed throughout history that if there's any reasonable doubt, it's hard not to investigate the potential innocence of a person
Iirc there's evidence to suggest that he was framed and may not have done the killings.
the story about benjamin atkins was especially scary cuz the thought of being killed in a public place and nobody noticed for months is terrifying

The Butcher Baker murders were always a crazy story hearing about growing up, my father even visited the bakery often when he grew up in Anchorage, claiming that police officers were regulars in the shop. The bodies were all found along the Matanuska River out where I grew up outside Palmer, Alaska, specifically in an area known as the Butte. There are further murders that are allegedly attributed to him as he kept a map of the murders and where they were killed, and many bodies that were either suspected or claimed by him have never been found because the river siltbeds change so drastically from year to year as the glacier melt varies.
Oh it was "Butcher Baker", I originally heard "butcher Biker" and for the entirety of the tale I was like "okay but where the biker part comes into play ?"
It makes much more sense now (though sadly I still don't have the crazy biker that I hyped myself about :( )
There was a TV movie made about this case . I saw it on Netflix or somewhere
He had two unidentified victims, and one of them was only recently identified in the past few months. She spent nearly 40 years as Horseshoe Harriet, but her name was Robin Pelkey and she was only 19 when she was murdered.

I was raised for half my childhood as a Mormon and was actually bullied a ton for it because of the multiple wife belief. The multiple wives started because Mormons were being killed and run out of where they lived. The church encouraged you to take on another family if you could afford it and had the room for them. Once they had stopped being run off and killed multiple wives was banned and discouraged. Those that wanted to keep doing it separated and are now called the flds which stands for fundamentalist latter day saints which are completely separate from the lds Mormons. Thank you for acknowledging that misspread of information and informing others, even if I'm not Mormon anymore I wish more people knew the actual background it would stop so much hate towards them.
Eh no polygamy is weird and gross idc
@juicewar3805 ok? Never said it was a good thing? Was simply saying lds isn't polygamy meanwhile flds does that. They don't associate with eachother because they don't agree so your comment is weird bud.
Ehhhh, I was also raised Mormon, and that is a common justification that's given *today* for polygamy from the Church, but its not really true. Polygamy started with Joseph Smith in Nauvoo when the Mormons were in a relatively secure position. Joseph would use this new "doctrine of plural marriage" to justify marrying the women that he wanted to, this included girls as young as 14 and also other mens' wives. He kept this secret, at the time, and restricted its knowledge to certain church leaders, which included Brigham Young. The newspaper "The Nauvoo Expositor" found out about this and ran the story, which made Joseph *very* mad. He formed a mob and destroyed the printing presses, which eventually led to him being jailed at Carthage Jail. This is where a mob stormed the jail and killed him.
The ensuing succession crisis is when the church split into a bunch of different factions, but the pro-polygamy Brigham Young faction is the one that most members followed to Utah. Polygamy flourished in Utah, especially among well-to-do, highly connected men. This wasn't due to a lack of men for all of these women, or a high number of widows, this was done because that's how the mainline church worked then. Frankly, it was done because the leaders of the church wanted more women. After polygamy was banned around the turn of the century, many prominent members of the mainline church *continued* to practice it in secret until the 1920s.
There are a lot of justifications that the modern Mormon church for Polygamy. I feel like its a way for modern Mormons to avoid confronting a very uncomfortable fact: The Mormon Church under Brigham Young was *much* more similar to the FLDS or LaBarons than Mormons would like it to be.
Congrats on all of the success you've achieved in such a small amount of time. You present yourself very humbly and I think a lot of people really appreciate that.

29:27 My dad actually met Adolfo Constanzo a few times before he started his rampage. He grew up in Matamoros around the time Adolfo was there. My grandmother even invited him over to eat a few times, since he was apparently a friend of a friend of my dad’s. She described him as being “very crude and edgy” (in Spanish). My dad personally believes that his worst early crimes were done because his even edgier girlfriend pushed him to do them.
He told me all of this unprompted on a long car ride after hearing Adolfo’s story being told in one of the podcasts he listens to. I don’t think I’ve ever been more surprised in my life.
The thing that stuck with me the most is that he was mad that the Mexican police was very uninterested in catching him until an American became a victim. Then (and only then) did they decide to do something.

I still sometimes have intrusive thoughts about it and wish I could just go back and never learn about it.

I experience something similar. It’s kind of like when Adam and Eve ate the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The whole point of the story is that once you know both good and evil, you have to constantly make the conscious decision to chose good instead of evil, whereas before you had no concept of evil and can thus never perform it.
@@littletechn8175 Exactly this. One of my biggest “wish I could forget” memories is an audio clip of that sort of thing. It doesn’t loop in my head anymore, but I can never unhear it.
Wendi's little speech about how the world is not as shitty as it seems was really nice.
God I remember when he was just doing the conspiracy iceberg. Absolutely insane that he's nearly at 1 million subs, but I totally get it. Man's honest, got a good personality, morals and ethics, and appeals to everybody's morbid curiosity side.
As always, it's a pleasure to watch. :)
Wendi, big hugs to you. We know it's interesting to us, but not to you, and we appreciate how much you do for us. Your content is 5 stars, but we totally understand that this isn't the content you want to produce.
I’m pretty sure that Wendi is cool with making this content :) as he said he finds it interesting to talk about
@@pidzeyz yet claim and promotes his christianity
no one who can not even think about sex should ever consider doing a disturbing iceberg, wendi GOON is a fraud
@@ragevsraid7703 Yo calm down its not that serious
@@ragevsraid7703 Are you okay? Cause you don't seem okay.
i just recently found your channel and i LOVE your content! that idea of a historical serial killer video is a great video idea! keep up the good work i cant wait for more!
Detective accidentally meeting Nikolai again:
_You're as [REDACTED] as the day I lost you_
This last part has been in the making for around a year now i believe, i couldn’t be more thankful that you made these horrific, interesting, and most of all campy videos for all of us. Thank you Wendigoon! :)
i spent the last few days watching this series and i just wanna say that you did an amazing job. i also really appreciate that you didn't into depth with guys like con einem. amazing videos, i'm gonna jump straight to the conspiracy iceberg now
Thank you for clarifying the polygamy misconception. Many believe that Mormons still practice it, which s not the case. Very few youtubers get that right.
Its practiced in secret in Utah to this day.
Yeah the break off portions of the church are as different as a Protestant and a catholic from what I’ve learned. It’s great to see wendigoon cover it while dispelling the the misconception.
Nah, I don't blame you for not covering that von Einem guy. I did a little research out of morbid curiosity I guess and... well, I think you made the right decision there hah. Its extremely graphic and I'm not sure if you would be able to tone down those details while also keeping the integrity of the victim.
I was just thinking the same thing. I followed that case in the past, and that guy's the most disgusting scumbag I've ever heard of, I think. Or rather he and his accomplices, because everyone knows that there was more than one person involved in those killings, and it's even pretty well known who one of those people was, but that person is dead now, and the only one they ever had physical evidence against was von Einem. :/
At least he's dead now too.
What'd he do im too scared to look up
@@schunschtorm in short he abducted, drugged, raped, and murdered a 15 year old boy named Richard kelvin (he’s believed to have killed/raped 5 others but he’s only convicted of the one death). The boy was found in the fetal position and believed to have been killed 3 days prior to his disappearance. He was said to have died from blood loss from his uh extremities. I won’t go into more detail there :/ it’s gruesome. Either way von Einem was convicted off of the drugs found at his house and hair follicles on the body as well as his story not making any sense at all, among other things.
@@schunschtorm Honestly its best not to know. I get curiosity and stuff, that's why we watch this channel, but really is a NSFL type of thing. Dude was straight evil.
@@chaennieluv7891 tell me he got life in prison ?
