Thank you so so much for watching! U are a star, love x
*"Go ahead and scream I'll cut your vocal chords I've done it before"* absolutely terrifying sentence
Ikr, it makes me think that he had done this before
honestly when i heard that i felt like it was something he said to make her scared. but as i listened to the story more. i realized he had probably done that.
OMG EWWWWW
@@user-br5gs5bg1t He killed a girl before Colleen because she screamed
@@syd3540 He killed a girl before kidnapping Colleen because she screamed
I think Janice was like Colleen which is why she didn't get jailtime. She was completely brainwashed. That man is a monster
I was so angry with her but I didn't think about that
No I don't think so. I think she was just as much of a monster. Before she found religion, that is.
@@boingoosdrums9254 Religion LOL Why is everything forgiven in the States when someone 'finds' religion?
@@carey579 well, in Religion everything is forgiven in Gods eyes after you find religion. So maybe that's why.
@@boingoosdrums9254 Ugh if only 'God' could keep us out of jail how many of us would love to fuck up every bitch that has been nasty to us...
the way colleen was talking so nonchalant about her kidnapping I thought “oh this kidnapping must have lasted like a week or so” and then when she said how many years I audibly gasped
I’m only about 7 minutes into this video, and saw this comment, and audibly gasped like I was in a telanovela holy heck
SAME
a week is alr traumatising lol...
Same I was like OMGGG REALLY
To us it's unthinkable..but to Colleen it was her life for many years. She's probably disassociated from it or really done a fantastic job at healing from her experience.
Calling her "K" is a reference to a book called The Story Of O, it's about a woman who enters the BDSM lifestyle. Cameron was obsessed with it and wanted the same thing, but with an unwilling woman.
Vegan Vampire Kat omg..
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!🙏
knew this sounded familiar ! thanks !
If one participant is an unwilling victim then it is torture & abuse, not BDSM.
I wonder if the book was his first exposure to BDSM? It clearly sparked his interest in torture, not consensual sexual play.
bdsm is consensual. that aint bdsm 🤪👊😳👋
The scary part is that this could be happening to someone as we speak but we only talk about the ones that are caught
I was thinking abt this!! Like she was in there for 7 years and nobody had a single clue, just living their lives. Just the thought that it could be happening rn is so chilling😣
Jesus that scary fuck
It is, in the sex trade, all over the world. Right at this very second. Children, women, men...everyone. they don't care. They sell their pounds of flesh for pounds of money.
Or live.
@@twistedyogert But even then, some people might be too traumatized to even tell anyone. People that get sexually assaulted sometimes take years to tell someone, I cant imagine going through this kind of stuff. Or the person that held them captive might have threatened them so they wouldn't out of fear. Its scary cause you could know someone that went through this kind of thing but are too scared to speak up.
Imagine being Cameron and Janice’s kids... like imagine finding out that your parents did this to someone, in your house. I feel so terrible for those kids. I hope they’re okay and living well.
There’s a specific case I’m thinking of, which I’m pretty sure eleanor covered, where this young girls dad came in from the garage, made her breakfast, and took her to school. Well when he was in the garage he murdered a woman. His daughter still talks about the trauma from that. I cannot imagine what these kids went through. The shame and guilt when their parent(s) have none.
@@biancham the shoe fetish killer ?
@@biancham that was the case of that girl murdered in Alaska isn’t it? The man kidnapped her from the coffee kiosk she worked at, killed her, and still took his family on vacation right after.. Anchorage Alaska
The sad part is psychopathy can be genetics. Let’s hope it’s not passed to their kid.
Janice moved to Paradise, CA after this.
it’s actually very disgusting that some people are questioning why she didn’t try to get away. she was deprived of sight for 23 hours a day, trapped in a box, and terrified of the fake company. she was absolutely afraid of her family or her being killed. absolutely nobody can question why she didn’t run away - until you have been in that position you don’t know how you would act.
Yeah she manipulated and brain washed, her acting 'normal' is probaly her way of coping, i feel so bad for her
Stockholm syndrome is not a disease - it's a way of our brain of coping with the unbearable, to save at least some of our sanity. You hate someone, but you totally depend on them & you try to make your life at least a little more bearable... The nicer one is to the monster, the least monstruous he becomes. & one needs to make it genuine to work. So the victim brainwashes herself - & out of fear & habit may continue doing it even when out of that situation. At least this reminded me my dynamic with my step dad - who abusive towards me & especially my mum (not in a sexual way but mostly words & fists). Most of the abuse ended when i grew up, learned how to fight & kicked his pitiful butt.
She did whatever she could do to SURVIVE and NOBODY can judge her because nobody else was in her shoes. No victim blaming is allowed on queen Eleanor’s page🙅♀️
Agree 💯%! I've seen a documentary about this case and the comments were unbelievable! People forget she was a victim!! We have no idea how we'd react in this horrific situation! Shaming the victim is unacceptable!
For real. I think those who haven't been abused assume the worse it is the more you'd try to leave, but I think it's the opposite; the fear and control just run deeper and deeper. And you adjust to it being normal because it's too horrible to think otherwise
That photo at 16:50 creeps me out so much, mainly because if I were to see that on something like FB it wouldn't stand out to me at all as a victim posing with their abuser. It just seems like a normal couple photo and now it makes me wonder how many I've passed by that weren't at all what they appeared...
SynTax Art agreed
Now I’m going to be paranoid of every other couple. tHaNkS
If you think about how much domestic violence happens when no one is aware it's happening it's crazy. Look at Laci Peterson and other women who were killed by their husbands. People always describe the marriage from the outside as perfect.
Scariest thing is that I would’ve believed her smile in the photo.
scariest thing is that her family did...
@@ed771 They thought she was involved in a cult but they didn't want to push her away further.
@@jayaom4946 you'd think they'd still try to get her out of a cult.. 🤔
I Kindve do believe it I feel like she had Stockholm Syndrome
@@amirrag yeah she kept in contact with him
I think this one is one of the worst 😓 imagine not seeing a THING for 8 months. Like just your thoughts and a blind fold. Insane 😱😢 so glad she got out and is ok
Look up the Fritzel case, the only one sicker than this.
bird box in real life!!!!
Aaliyah Green why i was just about to say ‘ #birdbox’
Omg bird box hahahah
Thats basically Bird Box
am I the only one finding it really weird that the family did not question her disappearance when she came home for one day? I would find that so odd and I would try to find out what happend....But this case was really interesting!
You wouldnt want to scare her pff again
They wanted do but they didn’t want to scare her
idk much about religious cults, but I imagine it's similar to a parent walking on eggshells around their rebellious teenager just to avoid conflict/drive their child away (on a MUCH more extreme level tho)
Ikr I would be REALLY suspicious too because she was apparently so skinny and wasn't giving any information as to what she was doing and running away was so out of character... also Cameron looks creepy asf... I wouldn't have let her go back, or I would contact the police at least.
They thought she was in a religious cult and they didn't want to drive her away
I’m not into bdsm but even I know that it has to be consensual, safe and sane. This wasn’t bdsm. This was torture.
I think she was talking about some of the magazines in the closet. What he was doing to her was dead torture
Who cares? It’s not about some shitty kink, it’s about a women who gets 7 years horrible tortured
Carolin Houndin I 100% agree, I’m just talking about the fact that he tried to feet away with it and portray it as BDSM when it isn’t in any way shape or form.
@@livm8385 “the company” was apparently discussed in a “bdsm magazine”, any company like that is not bdsm, it’s a sex trafficking ring or something
Edit: so those weren’t magazines of bdsm, but something a lot more sinister
The psychology of this case is fascinating. You could spend years studying it.
There were no signs to indicate that he would turn out this way so, I don't know the psychology of case when regarding Cameron* 🤔 but, there's a lot to say about Colleen and why she stayed, even when she had many chances of escaping!
Luwam Alem slightly obvious, they threatened that her family would be hurt and also slight Stockholm syndrome because she didn’t see any alternative for herself
@@luwamalem9537 not everything is shown early on though, many people who have severe chemical imbalances are able to hide their darkness (i.e. Ted Bundy). It's most likely the way his brain was wired, definitely more psychiatry than psychology, but still very interesting
Its insanely easy to brainwash someone (not person experience just read about it) all they have to do is show minimal human decency like letting the person go to the bathroom and the brain basically rewires itself to accept that this is okay
@@SassyCactus86 it’s like being in an abusive relationship, they gaslight u into thinking u deserve bad treatment and convince u that’s the best ur gonna get. Basically falling for the bare minimum
This woman was obviously so strong mentally! To be able to endure all of that and not have a mental breakdown is incredible!
Samuel Bomorse power of prayer in action
Oh nahhhhh shes probably terribly fucked up.
why you so triggered but she was able to tell her story and stay alive
Emily Rose doesn’t mean that she doesn’t have trauma bro
Arianna M. i was responding to a comment ✨✨that’s now deleted
She is so strong mentally. She speaks so nicely without crying and I can't even talk of a breakup without tears all over my face
I have massive respect for that woman.
It surely took a lot therapy to be able to talk about that in such a calm way ..
It makes sense that she somewhat trusted him. 7 years and he is almost all the attention she can get, humans brains need love or we wither and die, and that was what she could get.

Fr ☺
@@coolboy5026why the smiley face??
"Consentual" my ass. Imagine being scared for your life 24/7 and letting that person do what they want with you out of fear and then in court you get to hear "Well it was apparently consentual"
I agree but I thought about it from the OTHER side. Like, you're a lawyer.. it's your JOB to defend this shit. And EVERYONE gets fair legal representation. Its someone's sworn oath to try to justify why this nightmare happened.. imagine that job.
Stockholm syndrome!!
@@gabyliz2067 i don't think it's really stockholm syndrome. she was legit afraid of anyone she cares about or herself being killed. From what I remember she didn't develop feelings for that bastard
@@karenamyx2205 sadly. can't imagine how hard it is to defend someone like that
I let out a SIGH of relief when i saw colleen talking about it after the fact; i’m really glad she survived this and was able to tell her story.
same
fr
The fact that anyone would defend this guy by saying *at first it was kidnap but it eventually was consensual* is so insane!!!!
Ikr! It doesn't matter if she was "okay" with it, because Stockholm Syndrome as a result of abuse is not consent.
The defense attorney was doing his job of giving the man a fair trial by law.
Mike Hunt IKR
Meera 25 No, the attorney tried to spin a bullshit story to get his client let off. People don’t talk shit about attorneys for no reason. Some of them represent the scum of the earth and they only care about the money.
Jennifer Drake That’s why not everyone can be a lawyer morals get in the way
Whatever happened to the Hooker's children? Did they remember any of this? Are they okay?
SmittenKitten social services probably got involved an removed them from their parents
SmittenKitten I’m pretty sure they are in better care now 😊
Omg I just realized that the oldest was seven...she must be traumatized
i assume they stayed with the mom, janice, but i'm not sure
@@tehDNI Would they though? Yeah, she confessed and was responsible for colleen finally escaping but I'm not sure she's fit to be mother
Bro I'm so claustrophobic I can't even sleep with the sheets over my head...Honestly I dunno how she manged to stay in that box with no human contact or stimulation and not go crazy for so long. I'd probably die of a seizure in there.
I'm so happy she's okay, she's one of the lucky few who got away and I'm glad she's living her life normally now.
Totally same, just the thought of it makes me feel out of breath and panicked ;;
Same
I feel the same way but you would live because you'd have no choice but to keep breathing. I definitely don't think I'd be as strong as she was though
I don’t think describing this women as “lucky” is very appropriate. She was tortured every day for 7 years. She probably prayed for death.
@@KallieMae I think if you asked her if she would rather have died, she'd definitely say no. I'm sure she feels lucky to be alive...not kidnapped, confined or raped/tortured, but alive.
This is weird af.. the fact she didn’t say anything to her family when he left her for a day alone with them AND took a photo smiling, hugging her tormentor is just INSANE
Alyss Raven she’s not fucking In love with her abducter you idiot,she was scared,he threatened her family,she did not love him at all have you even watched the video
@@randomedits1018 Lmao, shes aware- Colleens actions just express the consequences of prolonged abuse.
@@randomedits1018 She wrote him dozens of love letters....
@@Skeksistential-crisis no i think she was just scared
@@randomedits1018 Stockholm syndrome is developed from this sort of abuse. They end up falling in love with their captor because of the mental damage and twisted feelings of trust inflicted by their abductor.
**that moment when you watch so many of Eleanor's videos you convince yourself you have an accent**
Ikr
Lmao
I actually have an accent lol
Everybody has an accent. You have an accent.
i honestly think in her accent now lmao
This woman is about 10 thousand times stronger than I will ever be. I would have cracked after like 10 hours in a blindfold
I would have cracked after 10 minutes
This woman is strong no hesitation telling the story no tears
its not cuz of strength she was stokholmed basically you form a reliance or relationship with youur kidnappers and sort of grow attached to them its kinda fucked up
@@jsjgfdhgfsf9693 u do know stockholm syndrome isn't caused by the victim & its not a relationship either... right? it's the minds way of processing all the events it's experiencing, and can be caused by severe manipulation. basically the mind begins to see the kidnapper as like, its "protector", in a sense. whether colleen kept her life or not was literally up to hooker.. so ofc after years of this her mind will begin to look at hooker as sort of a "savior" for NOT killing her
@@annieh.5049 literally nothing i said conflicts with that im just saying strength is not the same as developing a processing disorder and blurring that line does nothing but romanticize the situation. where tf did i say it was her fault?
I'm so glad Colleen is okay and she's still alive. She's so lucky to have survived.
I like your username ❤
@@mintyt3392 it's our beautiful little mochi's name 😌✨♥️💜
She DEFINITELY had Stockholm syndrome. I feel so sorry for her. I’m so glad that she’s happy now and out of that situation.
What’s that
@@icecoldos when you fall in love with your abductor
@@sabrina-hk1sg Strange
Not at all lol. She was scared.
@@Lovebug_Castle yeah
I think it's important to get across that this was NOT BDSM. All BDSM must go by the guideline of Safe, Sane and Consensual, otherwise it is not BDSM. I only comment this bc BDSM was mentioned and I just want to make it clear that BDSM is a whole world away from this disgusting abuse. This man is just an abuser. Anyway, love your videos, you do such a great job on them.
@@_bwthybl_ your sex life must be really boring
@@_bwthybl_ Don't kink-shame someone just because you don't find what gets them off appealing. Some people genuinely get turned on by BDSM - those people aren't "gross" just because YOU don't like BDSM. It isn't hard to not be an asshole on the internet, you just gotta try :)
xotbirdox she said the magazines were "bdsm" not her I think sorry if I'm wrong.
Shut up. Omfg. People always quick to defend BDSM on cases like this, way to spit all over the victims fucking hell
Lucas you wrote a whole paragraph like imma read it sis
Disgusting to see people defending this vile man. Abuse does that to people. It scares you into not leaving or pretending you love them so you don't get hurt (emotionally or physically.)
Jessica
Exactly.
Who is defending him? I see people saying she had Stockholm syndrome, then other people getting defensive as if they think it is an insult rather than an explanation for her actions. It is just that her brain went into protection mode & this psychological mechanism probably lessened her emotional & mental suffering at the time.
Jessica TELL ME ABOUT IT! :0
@@NotAnotherKuromi I'm not positive about her intent, but to me seeing the defense attorney's tactics for Hooker are what boiled my blood.
I don't think anyone can really question the trauma of a victim. People do whatever they can to survive. Fear is an uncharted territory, people carry and deal with differently. I can't imagine what she's been through. She is too strong to be true.
this is so beautifully worded
This was unreal, it sounds like a movie. I'm curious to know what became of his wife and kids...like, who did the kids think Colleen was, and how/where are they now?
Victoria Hazeldine-Kaczorowski oh really? Something to look into then, thanks!
It’s called “girl in the box” 2016
they also did a Criminal Minds based on this, the slave is Morgans cousin
It is made into a movie
They’ve made a few movies about this case. Some tv episodes are based off of it too. Janice, Colleen, and the kids all changed their last names. I know Janice still lives near Red Bluff and Colleen lives in California somewhere. Idk where the kids moved to though.
whats the moral of this story NEVER HITCHHIKE
Sage Elizabeth And most importantly, DONT GET IN A STRANGERS CAR!
And FOLLOW WHAT YOUR FUCKING GUTS TELL YA
Also trust your gut.
only hitchhike if you have no other option and you’re with a few people
This was the 80s. Unfortunately, EVERYONE hitchhiked. It was my main form of transport
this was a criminal minds episode, i never knew it was based on true events
A lot of Criminal Minds episodes are based off reality or off popular books or movies
But yeah, I thought this felt familiar, especially when the mentioned the 'company'.
what episode
@@jennaroberts9924 season 7 ep.20!
@@hannahbasford9589 Was this necessary? Was it informative? Was it conversational? Was it enriching to everybody else?
I'm not going to fight with you. You are a stranger on the internet who is probably wanting to fight so I will not encourage that. But I highly recommend that you run everything you say through that list. Otherwise nothing you say has any value.
@Lex Veryan I had the same thought
It's unreal that people like this truly exist.
What's even more unreal is that it's very likely that some people are currently treating someone like this. As we speak. We only hear about those who are caught.
@@NayimKay well they're true psychos
@@NayimKay this shi scary Lowkey and this why I don't hitchhiking
Monsters do exist. This is one of the most horrifying stories I’ve ever heard. Where do these creatures come from?
Hell. They come straight out of hell.
Check out the junko furuta case
Isn't our existence just a horror story told through the monsters perspective?
Australia. Fucking Australia.
sᴛғᴜ_ ᴀɴᴅʀᴇᴡᴡ_ THE SPIDERS
I read about this case when i was very little. I was staying at my grandmothers house and in her spare room there was a book about it, I was about 8 but I was a huge reader so I started reading. It was totally horrifying.
how do you have that in your username?
@@nadine6485 hmm?
@@ZoeAlleyne i think they're talking about Eleanor's face next to your name (idk what its called lol)
Riley S. You get it if you’re a member of her channel
(hugs you)
God, I can't even imagine. I sometimes wonder what I would do in a situation like this. I'm severely depressed without my medication and, as morbid as this sounds, I almost feel like it would be easier and less horrible to die than endure this kind of mental and physical torture. The women in these abducted cases have such strength of spirit. It amazes me.
I know it's been a year, but I hope you're also strong.
Especially when you know it could of been you , if u were her and you decided to go hiking then it could of been you , it creeps me out.
Ur working so hard, can't believe u do this on ur own. and the quality of these videos are just getting better & better ❤
i dont know how she gets so many videos done she must be up all night
Sorry for ruining the perfect 555 😂
This woman needs a hug and endless respect for her courage to speak
My family wouldn’t just accept that after 4 years being disappeared me being like yeah lolz 🙂..they’d institutionalized me in some way rather than ever let me go again
L B ikr!!! like wtf, it's like her family didn't care
I think cults were an issue in america, especially back then, so I can see why they did what they did
The “yeah lolz 🙂” is so funny to me haha
L B well good for you. Maybe you just have a better family than her or others.
They were completely oblivious to what just happened. They may not have known but no way in hell should they have ever let her go with some man they have never even met in their lives.
That’s not BDSM. BDSM must be sane, safe and consensual. It’s supposed to be enjoyed by both sides. They must both find pleasure. This is horrible.
Don't defend that kind of trash. BDSM is getting aroused from causing someone pain or from receiving pain- from someone you love and trust? That is the definition of a dysfunctional relationship.
@@TheSnyderWeb That is the S & M part, you are missing BD & DS.
Power play is a common theme explored & the point is it is enjoyed by both parties & is 100% consentual... Unlike the torture & abuse the poor woman in this video experienced.
actressbrookesingleton
BDSM is completely different. This woman didn’t consent to ANYTHING. A huge part of bdsm is consent, trust and safety. This why is 99.9% of all people that participate in BDSM have safewords. Even if someone does like being whipped or whatever then that’s their own personal choice and it’s consensual. If you kidnap and whip someone that isn’t BDSM that’s torture, rape, etc.
@@TheSnyderWeb It's a roleplay, it's not how you actually feel about each other. It's more about discipline
actressbrookesingleton lmao dude. its a kink calm down
Two videos in one day?! GET THIS QUEEN TO 100k
Oh my god that rhymed
Madelaine Rowley she is the most loyal TH-camr.. Get her to 1 million 😊
yesssss I stan💗💕💓
when i read it, i read "one hundred thousand" so i was like what it doesn't rhyme at all😂😂
You mean 1 million 👍❤️❤️❤️❤️
Get this queen to 1 million don’t you mean!
This is a living proof of how important our mind is. The manipulation and fear made her stay for much longer than she had to and her strength was what kept her alive.
this is a case i keep coming back to. i can't get it out of my head. it seems so casual... but it's some of the most depraved things a human can experience. colleen is an extremely strong woman
I think I’ve left 3 comments on yt ever. I just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work I enjoy watching your videos so much!

"She never tried to get away...she never once ran away..."
WELL EXCEPT FOR THAT TIME WHEN SHE DID lol
She didn't really "run away" or elope. She was vocal about it. Dont be a smart ass, for 7 years she never tried to escape. Very simple sentence
What a cool girl. Honestly she's an inspiration.
I'm pissed janice got off completely free also I'm assuming they let her keep custody of her kids?
Given that he brainwashed Colleen, I'd say it's highly likely his wife was brainwashed too. Maybe not to the extent Colleen was, but definitely to a point where Janice wouldn't question her husband's actions.
@@bellamee2775 yea his wife was a slave too. He brainwashed her the same way he did Colleen. His wife was a slave for a long time so eventually she became his wife.
I'm 100% convinced that janice was treated the same way that colleen was and the husband and her emotionally got attached and married and had kids.
Jared Williams but Janice really didn’t do anything, she was a *_SLAVE_*
@@bellamee2775 He didn't "brainwash" her. She constantly states how scared she was and how she was afraid that "the company" or Hooker would kill her. If she was brainwashed, she wouldn't have been scared, or wouldn't have tried to escape. Though, Hooker's wife might've been brainwashed.
The best part about this is that since there were interviews with Colleen you know she survived
Get Eleanor to 100k she deserves it after all the work she puts in for these videos
Elle and Evie she’s now at 282k
She's at 323k now
370k!!!!
506k

This one reminds me a lot of the Elizabeth Smart case. I just can't believe that she lived through all that. And I can't believe the wife was a part of it!!
Lois Zuger Wife & husband Both sick!! 💀💀
Lois.. I completely agree. X
I can kinda believe that the wife was part of it, humans can be sick creatures
Lois Zuger you guys should watch a new video on elizabeth smart! she narrates it so it’s very detailed
same!!
I truly hope this woman doesn’t have any problems and everything is perfect for her for the rest of her life. Because this is so horrible. I can’t even believe it.
She has PTSD and cannot work because of it.
Well done Eleanor. So sad what one human can do to another. An eye for an eye should apply to Cameron's punishment. He should NEVER be released into the public. Makes one wonder how many silent victims are out there...
two videos in one day, eleanor, you're AMAZING!!! XXXX
Jade Honey I’m assuming I where benging her vids cause I’ve seen u comments in all her vids
Why so many camas ,,,,,, you dont need that many just 1 after Eleanor "GRAMMAR ISSUE'S"
@@peterruso5375 actually the first comments is grammatically correct.
Yours however.....
Peter Ruso the first one is correct
This case is by far the one that messed with my head a lot! I have so many questions it’s unreal
I don't think it sounds unreal, it just sounds terribly sad. Some people are just evil!! Hope Colleen continues healing
I wish when he let her go home for a day she told her family and called the police before he came back, she must’ve either been so scared or traumatised to say something.
And he wasn't even nice to her, so I don't see why she didn't take the chance then.
She had stock home syndrome
She was.
@@quarantinequeen9073 no she didn’t, she was just horrifyingly scared and abused
The company threat
Also, in the book he took her to a BDSM dungeon and rented some other slave girls. He told Colleen it was the company. These girls went along with his fantasy roleplay. It made the story more real to her.
Bonnies smile when she said he heart grew was just so heartwarming, I can't imagine what it felt like, not knowing where your sister was for 4 YEARS, then getting a phone call from her!
This was unreadable
I had never heard of this one before! and being claustrophobic this is my literal nightmare this has been one of the most terrifying ones I have heard of wow (love these videos btw I'm a new subbie, you obviously put so much effort into these and defo deserve that 100K! you deserve a million, your videos are so well done xx)
Colleen has the perfect psychological make-up which allowed her to not only survive her ordeal, but to come out on the other side of it still maintaining her calm and collected demeanor. I don't know how she could have done it otherwise. God bless her.
This story gets creepier every time I hear it. So freaking terrifying!😳
You look gorgeous as always!❤
This case is so sad and interesting. I’m so glad she has used her terrible situation and turned it around into positive and helping others. Such an inspiration xxx
What-
How just how-
How can you be stuck in a box 23 hours a day for 6 years and escape, but then just go live a normal life like nothing happened???
Like HOWWWWWW?!!!!
God how many hours is that?
23x365=8,395
8,395x7=58,765
Holy shit
Maybe you can't..... but what else can you do besides try?!
My guess is that soul left that body a long time ago
she became desentised to it. When it goes on for so long and is so frequent its harder to really see how shocking it is
I was so excited for today because of a double upload!
Have so many thing to tell you lol
1) you're amazing! I love your videos and having them everyday for a week is a true blessing haha
2) don't worry about covering popular cases, cause you always have me, I haven't heard any of them so I'm always mega interested and curious
3) just THANK YOU for all the work you put into making these videos!
And I'm so confused by this case, you're right so hard to believe someone would actually act the way Colleen acted. I guess she's just really strong since she could just go back to her normal life straight away
I’m loving your April abductions series so much❤️❤️❤️
moral of the story
DONT HITCHHIKE
IF IT DOESNT WORK WELL IN HORROR MOVIES IT WONT WORK IRL
BIRB - If you’re with a group it’s a lot safer than hitchhiking alone as a young adult woman
REAL moral of the story:
Trust your goddamn gut, hitchhiking is fine.
@@15rissa only in a group with older adults, if your a young teen girl no
@@anya-eh6wv yes,exactly.
I know right
I just stared at your eyebrows for 32:40....they are absolute goals
DaangMel are you absolutely sure you looked at her eyebrows at 32:40?? The video isn’t even that long lol
Madelyn McCoy maybe she replayed the video for ten seconds 😂

if I was in Colleen's shoes, for the whole 7 years that she was mentally trapped, I think that I would of attempted suicide. Because if I was her, I wouldn't of had such an open mind that things would and will get better. I would just think, you know, that that was going tot be my life from now on. this story is so heart breaking, and just shows us how horribly real these types of things are. this story is most definitely something that you would hear about or see inside a horror movie or your nightmares.
The human will to live and survive is unmatched l
Same probably, I would just think, If I'm going to go out and die, I'm not going to give him the satisfaction of doing it. He can't get his rocks off by torturing me if I'm dead.
@@sophiaschrock301 i mean,, necrophiliacs will still get their rocks off even if ur dead, which is utterly disgusting but true. at least colleen is alive, and cameron is in jail. if colleen died he could have buried her body and gotten away with it.. the only reason he is in jail is because of her testimony.
OMG! I remember this one episode of Criminal Minds about "The Company" . I am way more aware of the people around me.
what episode?
@@daniellereed9226 series 7 episode 20 x
this is disgusting. i can't believe people like this exist. she was so strong to survive all of this. 7 whole years in this environment is shocking.
Off topic but we have the same name. Totally agree how disgusting this case is tho. Absolute miracle she survived.
Omg this is one of my favorite cases ever. It’s so interesting to be honest, and it’s sickening to hear what this man did to Coleen. However it is so inspiring that a woman who has been through more than 6 years of torture was able to carry on with her life afterward! Also, wow 2 videos in one day you are on fire!!!!
After Hearing about this my eyes hurt. Is it just me or would it hurt like hell taking off a blind fold that one wore for 8 months and then seeing light. I assume she wasn't exposed to much light but that'd still hurt like hell. I can't imagine how it must feel to have lived through this. It sounds like a horror movie or something... Though this might be the reality for some people. This makes me realise how thankful I should be for not being locked up somewhere, away from my family. I will cherish every moment I have with them. Stay safe! ❤
You know what I've learnt from eleanors videos? Don't friggen hitchhike
Nat Smith hitchhiking is basically suicide at this point
I just don’t understand why she would hitch hike in the first place
Hitchhiking is fine omfg.Trusting your gut is what lots of people have in common,they don’t trust their gut which end up in a horrible situation.
Yooo ur lucky ur a member
Or, never trust people with waterbeds
Girl's makeup is ON POINT, keep slayin!!
I know this is an older video but just wanna say how clear it is that you have so much respect for people who have suffered at the hand of evil people and it's great that you don't sensationalise such dark topics. I've been in a lot of circles of people who declare themselves to know all of the information and not treating victims as humans and you're instead giving something a lot of work and still accepting there are unknowns and that people are people. You're really good at your job and I really love watching your videos
Ellie Ellie Ellie, OI OI OI! 2 videos in a day, you're fab!
This case has always chilled me to the bone 😞
I hope the psychologists that testified that you CAN'T put an invisible bar on the kidnapped, should have had their license revoked IMMEDIATELY. Explain why millions of people stay in abusive relationships for years and years 🤦🏼♀️
My mother is very overprotective of me including my family so if i was missing for 4 years they would go crazy and search for me by themselves along with police
My Mom was too. If I had been missing 4 minutes let alone 4 years she would have moved heaven and hell to find me.
ugh stockholm syndrome
Yeah sadly..
AJ Prince .. the prosecution said she had Stockholm syndrome. she wrote him love letters. did you watch the whole video?
it is so bizarre to me that her mental state was fine after all of this. that she didn’t turn him in even after leaving. that this man had no history of intense enough trauma that would lead to him doing such horrid things to another human being. that when Colleen got a whole day back with her family without her tormentor, that she didn’t say ANYTHING and willingly went back with him. I’d love to hear a psychologist break this down. This case is beyond my comprehension.
"MUM KEEP IT DOWN ELEANOR POSTED" I was then beaten with a slipper by my Asian mother
Born 2 Pizza omfg😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😭
Born 2 Pizza you know that’s abuse right?
saurus you know it's a joke right?
saurus lmaooo not its not
It’s 3am give me a break 😭 lmao no regrets haha
EDIT: your accent is fascinating to me, I live in Australia and not much people have this accent
Vanessa kooktfup I'd love 2 have a Australian accent oml
People say British accents and Australian accents sound similar. Some at least. I'm English and don't hear it
She's British. Sounds Northern to me
Yorkshire accent
ELdotEM it is northern
I feel so bad for her. I wouldn't last a day in a box, not able to see. I'm so heart broken for her and her situation, I feel so bad that she believed "The Community" was real....God bless her soul.
Omggg why why why take a ride with strangers😱
It's Michaela this was literally decades ago
It's Michaela it was very common back then. Unfortunately a lot of women (and men) and young adults were easy prey for serial killers and rapists because of this.
Heather Foster I know, just terrible how they were unaware of what would happen
It's Michaela no what's terrible is when those evil persons take advantage of them...
the desert mermaid true, its disgusting what they can do
"Obviously it is real, I haven't just sat here and lied to you for the last 30 minutes" Lmao🤣
as a survivor of an abusive relationship, her love letters don’t make me waiver at all about Hooker’s evil intent and culpability. it’s even MORE immoral to torture someone who loves you and who you claim to love, not less.
SO PROUD OF THIS CASE THAT YOU COVERED!!!
you did so good!!
this video reminds me of that episode of criminal minds with derek's cousin being under control of the 'company'
Danika Shaw that episode was based on colleen and what happened to her
Which episode is it?🙈
Things I have learned from this video:
Dont hitchhike
Trust your gut
Fear can be very controlling
Wow, this is bonkers and does in a way sound consensual.......until you realise a 23 hour day laid down in the dark, trapped, every damn day will do to your head... she lost her sense of self, I hope to god she got psychiatric help.
Thankyou for this miss crime missy 😊
Infideltobrocoli Zosia no, there was absolutely nothing consensual about this. She was kidnapped, tortured, raped, held captive, and believed he or other people would kill her if she tried to escape.
h hart that’s why I said “until”. The love letters, pictures, a lot of things COULD convince people that it was, but then you have to see/experience her everyday horrors. Her terrified, twisted, confused mind. I mean, just knowing the power of abusive partners, what they can make you do and think and endure...... and that is a Grain of tiny rice compared to this woman. I think she’s a damn tough survivor of brutality I hope to never know.
Infideltobrocoli Zosia "until" nothing. He kidnapped her, manipulated her, and threatened her. She played along with it to keep herself and her family alive because she thought they would be killed.
h hart you read what I said, it pretty much what you’re saying....
Infideltobrocoli Zosia She never gave her consent for any of this, she was a terrified young lady who was trying to survive.
I'm surprised she didn't end up suffering with Stockholm syndrome after all the physical and mental abuse.
Prisoners go insane in solitary let alone being a young woman blind folded kept in a box etc.
I get what you was trying to say.
It’s quite understandable actually,the way Colleen was acting was similar to how elizebeth smart was acting.
this actually happened in my town, and my mom used to live next to the house all this happened in. she always points out the house when we pass it. it’s a little weird knowing such a huge thing happened in a house i see almost everyday😭
Omgg
Okay I love this series. Also, you have covered these cases so well. and YOUR EYELINER YASSSSS ELEANOR
You're a star Elenore you should get a nominee for the most effort for time
Hear me out, TINY TOWN TUESDAY, you cover stories that happened in tiny towns on Tuesdays
Yes!!!!!
The nude lip looks so stunning on you
So we talking bout a crime & ur talkin bout makeup
Hi Hi this used to be a makeup channel. People are allowed to like someone’s makeup, especially when that’s how she started on TH-cam
A girl got abducted in my town, maybe you could cover it??? Her name is Hania Noelia Aguilar
Was she ever found??
@@CharlieHorse4363 i just googled this case and the first article had the title
" Hania Noelia Aguliar death: rape murder and kidnapping charges"
so yes im pretty sure she was found but the title already made my heart break :....C
@@ed771 oh man that’s not the kind of found I was hoping for AT ALL🤬🤬😭😭😭 I hope the inhuman thing that did it to her is in prison for life if not the death penalty!!!!!!
@@CharlieHorse4363 Same😭, i think arrests and charges have been made in the case but i don't think prison time has been set yet🤬.
No
