It's a heartbreaking detail that Lisa had gone through trauma in the past and knew how to keep herself safe because of it. It's a good thing, but the way she learned is just absolutely gut wrenching. She's a total badass for doing what she did in order to make sure her killer was caught
Lisa talked about being abused by her grandmother's boyfriend for three years before this happened. Her attitude was basically "This is nothing new to me." She said that the terrible things that had already happened to her almost prepared her to survive when she was kidnapped. Just to be clear, she wasn't saying anything good about the abuse, just that it had galvanized her and she already had developed methods to compartmentalize and still being able to think rationally and figure out how to escape. Also, when she got home, the abusive grand-boyfriend beat her and accused her of lying about what happened for five hours until finally calling the police to report what she had gone through. I hope he got his, in the end.
She did awesome! Then of course the stupid police immediately doubted her story. They doubted that she would be able to handle a situation like that so well, and come out alive. They totally underestimated her like they almost always do in situations like that, to this day! That part really irked me.
The stories of Lisa getting into law enforcement and Amanda Berry getting into journalism are great role models for people who go through so much at the hands of an evil person and to not let them take or ruin their life.
@@bodhiswayze1892 ...and myself, although I was not kidnapped. My own situation lasted about 8 years. I refused to let my circumstances dictate my outcome. I also chose forgiveness. Sing loudly, laugh often, love deeply, pray more.🦋
Exactly. So all the sob-stories about how murderers grew to be murderers because they were abused as children are ridiculous. Lots of people are abused, and not all of them become cruel torturers.
@@bodhiswayze1892 Jaycee Dugard. She was kept in a backyard for 18 years and gave birth to 2 girls while in captivity. Jaycee's captor, Philip Guerrido, was a convicted sex offender being monitored by parole agents. They saw Jaycee several times but never questioned who she was, or why she was there. A neighbor saw Jaycee and her girls in the backyard and called the cops, they spoke to Philip then left. It was 2 cops from Berkley that finally helped rescue her. There are a couple other cases of kidnap victims rescued who I think have immeasurable guts. They beat the odds and came out stronger for it. Never, ever give up, all things are possible.
@@neliaferreira9983 ummmm no. You do know that everyone is different and handles trauma differently right??just because one can do it doesn’t mean everyone can. Also, you can understand the how and why of things without it being an excuse and agreeing with their actions. I don’t know why everyone always uses this logic. It’s stupid for one but it’s also moot. You cannot compare how one persons brain handles extreme trauma to the next. Not to mention, not everyone has the means to get all the help and support that Amanda Barry got as well. With your logic, just because YOU didn’t get split personalities or schizophrenia from extreme sexual, mental, physical abuse while growing up, that means nobody can develop those mental illnesses and disorders. You’re not making any sense. You can’t pick and choose when you believe in mental illnesses or not. I’ll say this again for the people that are gonna reach and say that Im excusing their behavior or crimes or enabling people. YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THE WHY AND STILL BLAME THEM FOR THEIR ACTIONS!!
Lisa crossed paths with the serial killer she would help to convict and put to death only because she was suicidal and was about to end her own life. He even ended up sparing her life knowing she would be the major reason he was caught; and it is insane to me. Almost being murdered gave her the will to live and help others. EWU videos are definitely worth the wait as they are so well done.
I think he lied about realizing that Lisa was around under a blindfold. He thought he was in control, he bought into her playing a different profile from the women he usually killed. He couldn't kill Lisa because he lacked the affect, the rage, but that kind of an emotional state makes your mind play tricks on you.
After she went home when he let her go she then had to get beaten and raped at gun point because her GRANDMAS BOYFRIEND accused her of cheating on him. This young woman went through absolute hell that most will never know in their whole lifetime let alone at such a young age and she STILL vowed to help people and got into law enforcement.
🥰 I survived a SA too n this is exactly what I thought when I was told I was being let go ✨ that life is sweet, and that I shall get revenge. And I did!
Her "experience" that helped Lisa remain calm is just as awful as her abduction by this monster. Poor girl spent years being assaulted by her Grandma's boyfriend and being threatened with a gun. When she arrived back home after escaping from the serial killer she was in fact beaten by her Grandma's boyfriend and accused of "cheating on him" She's an incredibly strong person, I'm happy she is no longer in such a living hell.

Tampa is serial killer central. I moved to Tampa briefly in 1984. I got into a fight with my cousin with whom I was living with. She kicked me out one night and I was alone walking down a road called Del Mabry. I was a young 18 year old woman lost walking down this thoroughfare terrified at night. I'm very lucky I didn't end up like one of these woman...I have goosebumps thinking about it.
This is a new case for me. I totally respect Lisa for stopping this killer through reaching out to the humanity in him. I have read that a lot of potential victims of murderers survive because they use that strategy. The fact that she became a LE officer is also admirable.
Counting steps, leaving blood on purpose and remember everything you see on the road in a heated situation like this is INSANELY remarkable and outstanding. She's one of the most clever women I've heard about. I would have been completely useless in a situation like that. I have 0 surviver instinct :(
I once saw a story on American Justice where a young girl named Amy was invited to a bikers party. She made the mistake of getting mouthy and putting down a biker. Saving face is very importaint in their world and the guy told her to shut up, she didn't. He ended up killing her. This was in Florida. Her body was fed to aligataors. The man who finally told what happen on his death bed said," women are such natural victims. They have no sense of danger". Start paying attention to what is going on around you. Look beneath the surface of peoples actions. Look for the motivations and realize anyone, even a nerd or geek, by your standards can be pushed to far. Men are the driving force of humanity, and there pride runs deep. Don't engage in male bashing or disrespedting them to much. There is an old saying. If you humiliate a man too much you have to look over your shoulder the rest of your life. Good Luck
You should take an RAD self defense class. Cops dress in padded suits and teach you the fight tactics they were trained in. You actually try to hit them and knock them over, to practice certain skills. Of course, the goal is to get away, not catch them! I have a cop in my family who said those were same ground tactics (and others) he was taught. You can train your brain and body to respond. They would yell at you, jeer, and surround you, to try to throw you off guard, like an attacker does. I went to other self defense classes that did nothing. But a guy tried to date r*pe me since I took it, and he backed off so fast when I moved quickly into the fight stance. A lot of people want an easy target. (Yes, they reminded us to be sure someone is attacked or threatening you before you fight. He had already stated his intention and gotten violent).
@@robertjohnson6601 Yes! My mom has had a lot of trouble with boyfriends and even strangers. She has ADD and I don’t know if that’s part of it, but she doesn’t notice when someone is angry or agitated. She will argue and get defensive and indignant about minor things. I have ASD, and I’ve seen teachers use emotion “face cards” to teach things like that.
@@robertjohnson6601you sound like a sicko for thinking this is normal behavior and I can only hope that you don't kill anyone over something petty then blame her over it. Hope ur in jail now buddy 🙏
I just rewatched Lisa's segment on I Survived. They left out that detail about the menstrual blood. That's clever as hell! I hate that she was put in that situation at all, but I'm impressed by her wits and composure in a time of crisis.
When I watch that that is the exact same thing I thought oh my gosh how lucky for her she was on her., see how forensics has moved even along so far as to that I had not heard of that one
Yo go Lisa. She was ready to end her own life but then this shit happened and she big brained a serial killer into death row. That is a damn good story, may the others rest in peace.
Hell yeah Lisa! You’re an absolute role model for your unbelievable strength. I’m so sorry you endured such torment at the hands of multiple monsters. I hope you’re living a wonderful life now. You deserve it beautiful❤
I think I've watched a movie based off Lisa's story and I remember thinking how bad ass her story was...every detail here was just as the movie. It was the bathroom scene and counting the stairs that jogged my memory. Lisa is such a bad ass and I'm so proud of her.... Thanks for sharing EWU you never disappoint👍.
These videos are really well done and extremely interesting. Tragic of course. The only problem is I’m driving my wife and daughters crazy. Every time they leave the house I’m asking "Do you have the mace I got you? Is your phone charged. Make sure you answer if I call"
I'm sure they know how much you care about them but it come across that it's driving them crazy. If my little girl was a teenager now I'd be telling her the same things, she is a long way from being a teenager but there will come a time when I will have to protect her from evil people and I'd rather die than watch her go through anything like what those poor women experienced.
The fact she was going to end her existence until this happened is shocking. Lisa deserves to live a very peaceful happy life until she is welcomed home to heaven ❤
Lisa such an incredible clever woman, her strength to not only survive but to go forward into the position of law inforcement to help other victims of these crimes is inspiring RIP to all those young women
Anyone else realizing the words ‘ than anyone could ever imagine ‘ is said in every EWU crime story video lol I truly prefer this channel over others because of how thorough it is and the commentators voice is perfect for such a genre
Always the highest quality videos, EWU! Thank you! That interview was horrifying…his voice so cold and uncaring! And with the previous assaults, it makes you wonder if proper action had been taken earlier if these women would be alive today!😢
Bro when I clicked this video I had no idea that this was about Lisa Mcvey.. I watched her movie and it is byfar my favorite movie. I know everything about it but I had basically forgotten about her abductor being a serial killer. I didn’t know the identity of any of the victims so when I first saw this I was kinda just like oh okay, my favorite crime storyteller posted. After I saw Lisa’s name everything fell into place. I feel so bad for all of the families of the victims and the victims themselves. Im so happy you posted about this case even though it happened so long ago. It says a lot about police today. Btw her movie is called “Believe me: The abduction of Lisa McVey” :)
This isn't a knock against the other girls and women that he abducted, but damn, Lisa managing to keep her wits about her that much while in such a horrible situation is amazing. I wish I had even half of her courage.
@@Gameboy-Unboxings That was partially my point. He didn't kill them immediately, but nobody could expect anyone to keep their cool and think the way that Lisa did under such circumstances. It's unfair and shameful to assume as such. Hence why I said it wasn't a knock on them.
You'll be amazed what you'll do when your life is on the line. Like one case where the women who were raped acted like they enjoyed it so he didn't kill them. But he killed the 8 women that were crying and yelling.
I think that some people are just able to keep their composure and wit about them when in stressful situations and some people are not. That's sadly the difference between living through something like this or not. He was a monstrous psychopath and she just happened to interact with him in just the right way. If not, she would not have survived either. I hope that her life has been fulfilling and happy.
I understand and agree with the sentiment behind why you'd want to, but we have the statute of limitations for a very good reason. It is incredibly difficult, if not impossible, to defend yourself against false allegations after a certain amount of time. Evidence you might have been able to get a hold of that proved you were somewhere else is long gone. The amount of time your bank or cell provider keeps records has passed and they've shredded them. Maybe you were at work at the time of the crime, but that company doesn't exist anymore. Maybe your father had taken you to a baseball game in another city when the crime occurred, but he passed away four years ago. (And with crimes that are not rape, murder, etc., there is a secondary purpose to the statute of limitations. If you robbed a bunch of gas stations as an addict in your 20s, but you get sober and never so much as sped the rest of your life, it's not necessarily justice to put you in jail to live out the last years of your life at age 80, _and_ knowing that you do have the hope of a normal life if you're willing to stop committing crimes gives a person an additional motivation to stop. Why not just keep doing it, if every day for the rest of your life could be the day you go to jail?)
@@jacksyoutubechannel4045 of all the evidence is GONE by the time they charge you with the crime, you won’t get convicted. Charges are only brought years later if damning evidence finally surfaces. Furthermore, these days everything is digitized, it’s not like things get shredded And there’s no statute of limitations for robberies, is there?
@@PutinsMommyNeverHuggedHim 5 years. 6 years if it's a bank robbery. Federally the statute of limitations on average sits at 5 years. Little longer for taxes, immigration and violence. Except for murder, treason, war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity, most crimes have a statute of limitations. Those limitations can varry by state and crime as well.
Lisa is an incredible woman, can’t imagine being that brave, thanks to this amazing person a serial killer is no longer on the streets praying on women.
Lisa's story is inspiring. She went from feeling really bad to being really strong. It shows how tough people can be. Good for her for turning a bad situation into something good
EWU pushing out the constant wonderful content! Keep up the fantastic work and thank you for the countless hours of entertainment you bring to all of us.
My mom always told me if you ever get kidnapped to leave as much dna in the car as I could. She said to leave teeth imprints on any softer material in the car. It's sad to me as an adult that she had to drill that in my head because she was so worried something would happen to me. She was never a great mom but there is somethings she taught me that I will never let go of.
Lisa is my hero. I’ve never looked up to someone or really cared much to idolize someone, but she’s such an amazing woman. She saved so many women. Thank you Lisa ❤️
Lisa is AMAZING! She is a School Resource Officer for the Hillsborough County Sheriff's office & School District. My husband is an SRO for them too. I want to meet her, shake her hand, give her a hug, & tell her how awesome she is. She's been in Law Enforcement for years. She speaks at schools and tells her story. She's a rockstar! The school she ended up at is absolutely lucky to have her. 🤘🏻💯💚💙
explore with us never fails! love how much hard work and research goes into this. easy to hear without needing captions and always bringing in new stories never heard! love love love. what ever happened to the female narrator by the way? just curious!
@@marionfriedenthal7352 i think thats good too, im just saying i usually need captions for everything and the fact i dont need them is worth recognizing
I feel like the reason Lisa was determined to get as much information she can and try to survive even though she was going to kill herself was because it gave her purpose she found something that can occupy her mind and make a change and a mission that she probably hasn’t felt in a while . That tells you people who kill themselves really don’t want to but feel that’s the only option they have . Truly sad.
When i have attempted suicide. I never wanted to do it. I always reached out to people that i hoped cared enough. But i could never be specific i would just say short goodbye or letting them know how much i HAD appreciated them.
Most people who kill or try to kill themselves are broken inside. I do know one person that killed himself because henand his wife had an argument and he told her he was going to kill himself to hurt her. He told her that right before he pulled the trigger. He was a jerk.
The fact that a psychopath serial killer let Lisa go despite fully knowing that he’ll get caught because he “didn’t wanna hurt her” is so contradictory.
Have you ever seen what life on death row is like? Most of these convicts wish for death decades before it is finally granted. I think it should be up to the family of the victim what happens, forgiveness or vengeance because they are the ones who have to grieve in different ways.
EWU, you have the best true crime channel Ive found! Thanks for all your hard work making your content thorough & descriptive, and providing actual case photos / testimonies
@@PutinsMommyNeverHuggedHim I do all the house keeping for our local live music venue -it’s an ancient building it has medieval pavement and arches in cellar and it’s previously been pubs, bordellos etc!! I go in mega early morning so I can get back and homeschool the kids 😊I wander all around the rabbit warren of passages listening to these stories and scaring myself 😂

At times I do find myself laughing because of the things that he says oh well. With that being said thank you again for uploading this little gem I know I will definitely be enjoying my Friday a little bit more now. Thank you so much again your channel is absolutely one of my favorites! Lots of ✌️ n 🖤❤️💙😻❤️🔥
Just saw this story through Netflix and now seeing this here. At first I didn’t know what the whole story is about but when it arrived to the girl riding a bike and gathering evidence as much as she could, I then realized it’s the same real life story I saw in Netflix. Such a brave and courageous woman 💯🤎
@@shabnamafzalkhan1560 Not sure if it's the same show but I saw this on Forensic Files that use to be on Netflix. I think it's on Tubi now, it's on season 2 episode 8.
Another top tier video!!! I have a great suggestion for a suspect that I guarantee your subs/viewers will enjoy. A perk - Not only has this interrogation not been done to death; it’s been discussed by only ONE obscure TC channel. Cant wait to see your breakdown! Interrogation of Eric Ellis re: Kim Allen.
Lisa is an absolute boss. My aunt was abducted by 2 men in the early 70s. I don't know how she kept it but she did. She was SA'd in the vehicle while still moving... She um.. Grabbed downstairs after and proceeded to spread every bit on the seats and lining of the car. She was allowed a cigarette and threw the butt on the floor. When they took her into the woods and did their... thing - she threw her bra behind a tree. I still believe she was lucky as she convinced them to not kill her because she was pregnant. They left her. Both were caught. I'm not sure what happened to them after prison
Okay, I got about 3/4s of the way through the story before posting. But now I've finished, my soul is screaming for Lisa. This is such an effed ship show My heart go out to those women and to Lisa for being the bamf she is!
@ianrichardspangler it actually scares me how aware she was. She did all of that to provide evidence and it turned out, one of my grandparents friend who worked for the county actually pulled up behind the vehicle she was being sa'd in and didn't see her but he still placed the car and that's why they found them so easy. My auntie is a queen!!
@ianrichardspangler She is! I seriously dont know how she managed to keep so cool. It did permanently effect her tho. My family found out later that a police officer had wanted to pull them over at a stop light for a regular check on out of state tags. He was good friends with my grandfather (aunties dad) and decided it wasn't worth it. She was being assaulted in the car during the stop light and this poor man never lived it down. Edit: she wasn't actually pregnant. She lied
I find it interesting that if one looks into pretty much any serial killer, one will find that all of them have had a traumatic brain injury (or at least, medical records of head injury in the older ones) at some point in their lives, usually earlier in life.
I say that all the time! Sometimes I wonder if they can ever truly be born/made that way, or if there was always some type of injury in their lives. Possibly one no one even knew about, or even in utero lack of oxygen etc.
@@deadendqueen5886 At least in ones without some traumatic childhood. I personally think it's more of a, for a lack of a better word, personality quirk. A lot about a feeling of being out of control and finding control.
@@TheDJGrandPa I think it's down to a LOT of variables, abusive childhood, head injury, personality type, untreated mental health issues, etc. Fascinating from a psychological standpoint, yet still always horrendous and uncalled for etc.
I watch these religiously and my bf finally asked why. I told him i was hoping to see something that sounded like my moms case. She was kidnapped as a child and out smarted the man. She cant remember his name but can remember the area he took her and what his house looks like. I hope someday I hear he was caught. I hope he didnt go on to hurt more little girls.
My wife shares the same name as one of the victims and I live in WV. Kenova, where Bobby Long was born, is about 30min from my home and drive through it regularly. Creepy...
just watched this now, and i just wanted to say that Lisa being a cop is so perfect. she is so attentive, courageous and intellegent at such a young age.
At 30:00….he was never prosecuted because the statute of limitations had run out by the time he was caught…how does that work? He did it. He admitted it. But because the cops couldn’t catch him, he just gets away with it?
Pretty much. Certain crimes carry a statute of limitations- a time limit that the DA's office has to bring charges against the accused. It's different from state to state though I think all states have no statute of limitations on murder. But they were referring to him assaulting the women he met through classified ads at that time and for assault, including sexual assault, there is a statute of limitations. Some may have been met because the women didn't report it and they didn't know about those particular ones until Bobby Joe himself told them but I do know that some of those attacks were reported. However they didn't have enough evidence to figure out who he was and couldn't file charges. I assume, because of his record, that these assaults were sexual in nature. I'm not sure what the statute of limitations was in Florida back then but now it's like 4 years, though several laws have been passed to either extend the limit or do away with the limit altogether in certain circumstances (like in the occurrence that the victim is a minor or if a weapon is used or if the victim is abducted and sexually assaulted, as well as some other scenarios- the statute of limitations is lifted). For some things like battery, the statute may be around 3 years, I think.
Same thing happened with the Golden state killer. He was prosecuted for the murders, but the statute of limitations had passed on most of the sexual assaults he committed. Feels like BS for the surviving victims
It takes a certain kind of person to stay calm and play along with this sick person. God Bless this young lady. I hope she had help and can go on with her life as normal as possible. God Bless 🙏
The way his voice sounds is so.. uncaring and cold Hearted.. And once I heared Lisa case I love the strength in her and her confidence!! The others rest in peace
this one was very very interesting! WE NEED more of those kind, like actual voice recordings or videos! still very disturbed about the amount of victims.

(Yes, they reminded us to be sure someone is attacked or threatening you before you fight. He had already stated his intention and gotten violent).
@@robertjohnson6601 Yes! My mom has had a lot of trouble with boyfriends and even strangers. She has ADD and I don’t know if that’s part of it, but she doesn’t notice when someone is angry or agitated. She will argue and get defensive and indignant about minor things. I have ASD, and I’ve seen teachers use emotion “face cards” to teach things like that.
U would be surprised bout yourself
@@robertjohnson6601you sound like a sicko for thinking this is normal behavior and I can only hope that you don't kill anyone over something petty then blame her over it. Hope ur in jail now buddy 🙏
I just rewatched Lisa's segment on I Survived. They left out that detail about the menstrual blood. That's clever as hell! I hate that she was put in that situation at all, but I'm impressed by her wits and composure in a time of crisis.
When I watch that that is the exact same thing I thought oh my gosh how lucky for her she was on her., see how forensics has moved even along so far as to that I had not heard of that one
And she went into law enforcement. Fucking Warrior, that woman. Amazing. 🦸♀️
Such a smart person.
I don't remember I Survived saying he grew breasts at age 13. That's wild.
They didn't leave it out.... he did say that since she was menstruating she left blood on the car. ......
‘Which one is this again?’ Wow. I can’t believe he killed so many people that he himself is hardly able to keep track…
Yo go Lisa. She was ready to end her own life but then this shit happened and she big brained a serial killer into death row. That is a damn good story, may the others rest in peace.
A serial killer saved her life..
After placing a suicide note and then changing her mind that she wanted to live when faced with death lol
It's crazy that her being taken actually saved multiple lives, including her own.
the story of lisa is a movie it’s called believe me
That's crazy! On another channel, or even maybe this one, I heard Lisa's story just yesterday. She was KEY to breaking this case! What a HERO!
Hell yeah Lisa! You’re an absolute role model for your unbelievable strength. I’m so sorry you endured such torment at the hands of multiple monsters. I hope you’re living a wonderful life now. You deserve it beautiful❤
The update on Lisa at the end gave me goosebumps… what a solid person she is
Wow, Lisa was so smart and brave. What quick thinking in such an awful situation.
Wow. Lisa is an incredible woman. Who knows how many lives she saved with her bravery.
This needs to be a show on Tru TV. The substance, format, editing, and most of all the narration are all absolutely pro level.
Nah I need it to stay on YT, who watches tv anymore 💀
Issue with that is they try to take control of the show and ruin what made it good in the first place.
Lisa was amazing to remain so calm in such a horrifying situation.
Wow, Lisa was incredibly lucky and brave to escape that monster!
No luck involved, she was so emotionally intelligent and calm under pressure, what an inspiration to us all.
Also luck involved @@stephenfoster8047
I think I've watched a movie based off Lisa's story and I remember thinking how bad ass her story was...every detail here was just as the movie. It was the bathroom scene and counting the stairs that jogged my memory. Lisa is such a bad ass and I'm so proud of her.... Thanks for sharing EWU you never disappoint👍.
Yes it was really amazing so touching n believable
Yes
These videos are really well done and extremely interesting. Tragic of course. The only problem is I’m driving my wife and daughters crazy. Every time they leave the house I’m asking "Do you have the mace I got you? Is your phone charged. Make sure you answer if I call"
"make sure you check in" is my favorite ✌️
I can relate. That's when I start and miss watching The Flintstones! Great stress reliever from worrying about loved ones out of site!
I know the feeling, I have 2 teenage daughters!
I'm sure they know how much you care about them but it come across that it's driving them crazy. If my little girl was a teenager now I'd be telling her the same things, she is a long way from being a teenager but there will come a time when I will have to protect her from evil people and I'd rather die than watch her go through anything like what those poor women experienced.
@@johnhenderson131Yep, mine is The Jetsons and Tom and Jerry…but i love Fred too 😊
You are the best and my favorite true crime TH-cam channel!! Thank you for always posting High quality content
The fact she was going to end her existence until this happened is shocking. Lisa deserves to live a very peaceful happy life until she is welcomed home to heaven ❤
Lisa such an incredible clever woman, her strength to not only survive but to go forward into the position of law inforcement to help other victims of these crimes is inspiring
RIP to all those young women
Anyone else realizing the words ‘ than anyone could ever imagine ‘ is said in every EWU crime story video lol I truly prefer this channel over others because of how thorough it is and the commentators voice is perfect for such a genre
Loving the back to back videos. Keep it up!!
Yes can't imagine the work it takes to get these out to us. Salute to EWU
Always the highest quality videos, EWU! Thank you!
That interview was horrifying…his voice so cold and uncaring! And with the previous assaults, it makes you wonder if proper action had been taken earlier if these women would be alive today!😢
Bro when I clicked this video I had no idea that this was about Lisa Mcvey.. I watched her movie and it is byfar my favorite movie. I know everything about it but I had basically forgotten about her abductor being a serial killer. I didn’t know the identity of any of the victims so when I first saw this I was kinda just like oh okay, my favorite crime storyteller posted. After I saw Lisa’s name everything fell into place. I feel so bad for all of the families of the victims and the victims themselves. Im so happy you posted about this case even though it happened so long ago. It says a lot about police today. Btw her movie is called “Believe me: The abduction of Lisa McVey” :)
Is it on TH-cam?
@@jasonbeaudry489 Its on Netflix
It's a great movie, watched it on Netflix a year ago. The ending gave me chills, cause I had no idea it was based on a true story ...
Thats an excellent movie!!! I cried so much while watching it. 😭😭
This isn't a knock against the other girls and women that he abducted, but damn, Lisa managing to keep her wits about her that much while in such a horrible situation is amazing. I wish I had even half of her courage.
He didn't give the others a chance to "keep their wits about them."
@@Gameboy-Unboxings That was partially my point. He didn't kill them immediately, but nobody could expect anyone to keep their cool and think the way that Lisa did under such circumstances. It's unfair and shameful to assume as such. Hence why I said it wasn't a knock on them.
i think it’s because lisa didn’t fear death, but she damn sure wasn’t going out if not on her terms
You'll be amazed what you'll do when your life is on the line. Like one case where the women who were raped acted like they enjoyed it so he didn't kill them. But he killed the 8 women that were crying and yelling.
I think that some people are just able to keep their composure and wit about them when in stressful situations and some people are not.
That's sadly the difference between living through something like this or not.
He was a monstrous psychopath and she just happened to interact with him in just the right way.
If not, she would not have survived either.
I hope that her life has been fulfilling and happy.
I love the detail and case file pictures we get to see as part of the video. As always your work is top notch.
It’s so sad to hear that most of these girls died just as they made a change/move in their lives for the better
The statute of limitations needs to be abolished no matter how much time has passed a crime had still been committed.
Agreed
I understand and agree with the sentiment behind why you'd want to, but we have the statute of limitations for a very good reason.
It is incredibly difficult, if not impossible, to defend yourself against false allegations after a certain amount of time. Evidence you might have been able to get a hold of that proved you were somewhere else is long gone. The amount of time your bank or cell provider keeps records has passed and they've shredded them. Maybe you were at work at the time of the crime, but that company doesn't exist anymore. Maybe your father had taken you to a baseball game in another city when the crime occurred, but he passed away four years ago.
(And with crimes that are not rape, murder, etc., there is a secondary purpose to the statute of limitations. If you robbed a bunch of gas stations as an addict in your 20s, but you get sober and never so much as sped the rest of your life, it's not necessarily justice to put you in jail to live out the last years of your life at age 80, _and_ knowing that you do have the hope of a normal life if you're willing to stop committing crimes gives a person an additional motivation to stop. Why not just keep doing it, if every day for the rest of your life could be the day you go to jail?)
@@jacksyoutubechannel4045 of all the evidence is GONE by the time they charge you with the crime, you won’t get convicted. Charges are only brought years later if damning evidence finally surfaces. Furthermore, these days everything is digitized, it’s not like things get shredded
And there’s no statute of limitations for robberies, is there?
@@PutinsMommyNeverHuggedHim even if it digitized, there’s still a limit to how long companies keep records. It takes up storage
@@PutinsMommyNeverHuggedHim
5 years.
6 years if it's a bank robbery.
Federally the statute of limitations on average sits at 5 years. Little longer for taxes, immigration and violence. Except for murder, treason, war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity, most crimes have a statute of limitations.
Those limitations can varry by state and crime as well.
Lisa is an incredible woman, can’t imagine being that brave, thanks to this amazing person a serial killer is no longer on the streets praying on women.
Yes!!! So happy u uploaded. Been quite a day. Now going sit back and watch! Thanks again for your dedication 🫶🏻
Lisa's story is inspiring. She went from feeling really bad to being really strong. It shows how tough people can be. Good for her for turning a bad situation into something good
EWU crew with the best crime presentation again 👍🏻👍🏻. I’m hooked.
EWU pushing out the constant wonderful content! Keep up the fantastic work and thank you for the countless hours of entertainment you bring to all of us.
wonderful content?
My mom always told me if you ever get kidnapped to leave as much dna in the car as I could. She said to leave teeth imprints on any softer material in the car. It's sad to me as an adult that she had to drill that in my head because she was so worried something would happen to me. She was never a great mom but there is somethings she taught me that I will never let go of.
Hands down best voice for narration 🥳🏆
Love your voice. Fits in perfectly with this type of content
These are my fav type of content - the detail and actual footage and images is amazing. Lisa is an inspiration to anyone. What a tough tough cookie.
My sister had a red dodge magnum. To this day it’s the only one I’ve ever seen in person. Great job with another great video E.W.U. You all rock!
Lisa is my hero. I’ve never looked up to someone or really cared much to idolize someone, but she’s such an amazing woman. She saved so many women. Thank you Lisa ❤️
Lisa is AMAZING! She is a School Resource Officer for the Hillsborough County Sheriff's office & School District. My husband is an SRO for them too. I want to meet her, shake her hand, give her a hug, & tell her how awesome she is. She's been in Law Enforcement for years. She speaks at schools and tells her story. She's a rockstar! The school she ended up at is absolutely lucky to have her. 🤘🏻💯💚💙
With her skills, I'm so surprised she didn't become a detective, but, yes, it sounds as though the school is very lucky.
I really like your work. Please continue doing nice videos and especially the ones with the crazy twists!
I've got my whole family subbed, collectively we've all decided....
WE NEED MORE EWU!!!!
❤🙌🏻❤🙌🏻❤🙌🏻❤🙌🏻❤🙌🏻
Lisa is so smart ! What foresight to leave clues everywhere with a clear mind.
explore with us never fails! love how much hard work and research goes into this. easy to hear without needing captions and always bringing in new stories never heard! love love love. what ever happened to the female narrator by the way? just curious!
Dont know but I think the best narrator is this older male!
I think the captions are good because they assist the hearing impaired to follow the case too.
THEY REALLY NEVER FAIL FRFR😭😭😭
@@marionfriedenthal7352 i think thats good too, im just saying i usually need captions for everything and the fact i dont need them is worth recognizing
This is undoubtedly my favorite channel 😩🇿🇦❤️
I feel like the reason Lisa was determined to get as much information she can and try to survive even though she was going to kill herself was because it gave her purpose she found something that can occupy her mind and make a change and a mission that she probably hasn’t felt in a while . That tells you people who kill themselves really don’t want to but feel that’s the only option they have . Truly sad.
Excellent conclusion! Yes, I have only felt suicidal when I thought I was no help to anyone. Being able to help someone else is a true purpose!
When i have attempted suicide. I never wanted to do it. I always reached out to people that i hoped cared enough. But i could never be specific i would just say short goodbye or letting them know how much i HAD appreciated them.
Most people who kill or try to kill themselves are broken inside. I do know one person that killed himself because henand his wife had an argument and he told her he was going to kill himself to hurt her. He told her that right before he pulled the trigger. He was a jerk.
Thanks family , love that you always use real pictures and real documents etc , awesome hardwork !
😱 cor what a shocking story, may the victims rest in peace, 🙏 another interesting video thanks raven 🖤
Hi EWU. Thank you for your content and hard work as always.
The fact that a psychopath serial killer let Lisa go despite fully knowing that he’ll get caught because he “didn’t wanna hurt her” is so contradictory.
Sadly, other potential serial killers will take notes from this.
Psychopath… yeah that’s the thing… you cannot rationalize a thought process known for irrational thinking
Lisa was absolutely fantastic, calm and intelligent under pressure, what an inspiration.
This guy, Bobby Joe Long, was executed about a year agobin Fla. after fighting the death penalty for 35 yrs.
Guys like this who admit it and they clearly are guilty should be executed immediately with no appeals process.
I hope he got tortured in jail
Kudos to Lisa, strong smart woman.
Raven and this channel never disappoint🙏🙏🙏🙏
Why did it take 34 years for them to execute him? That's ridiculous
Have you ever seen what life on death row is like? Most of these convicts wish for death decades before it is finally granted. I think it should be up to the family of the victim what happens, forgiveness or vengeance because they are the ones who have to grieve in different ways.
EWU, you have the best true crime channel Ive found! Thanks for all your hard work making your content thorough & descriptive, and providing actual case photos / testimonies
“ after 34 years on death row..” this is where I see the problem with the judicial system and waste of resources
I'd agree, but I like how long it gives us to be sure- but even more, I like how long he had to dread it coming
RIP Lana, Michelle, Elizabeth, Chanelle, Karen, Kimberly, Vicky, Artiss, Virginia and Kim. 🙏💜🙏
Best thing to listen to when working in a huge empty building on my own!! Keeps me on my toes!! Thanks for the great content 🙂
Oh wow what do you do?
@@PutinsMommyNeverHuggedHim I do all the house keeping for our local live music venue -it’s an ancient building it has medieval pavement and arches in cellar and it’s previously been pubs, bordellos etc!! I go in mega early morning so I can get back and homeschool the kids 😊I wander all around the rabbit warren of passages listening to these stories and scaring myself 😂
@@sarahgooding7785 that’s incredible!!!!
17 year old was smart! Thank God she was safe.
I salute Lisa! I wish we all could use our brain as quickly in any terrible situations of our lives.
Ewu saves the day again...thank you. Keep up the great work
Exclusive content? Dang, y'all are slaying it ☺️
Yes 🙌🏼 what a way to enjoy My Friday early!!! Absolutely adore ur channel. The narrator “ The Raven “ really makes the videos more enjoyable. At times I do find myself laughing because of the things that he says oh well. With that being said thank you again for uploading this little gem I know I will definitely be enjoying my Friday a little bit more now. Thank you so much again your channel is absolutely one of my favorites! Lots of ✌️ n 🖤❤️💙😻❤️🔥
Just saw this story through Netflix and now seeing this here. At first I didn’t know what the whole story is about but when it arrived to the girl riding a bike and gathering evidence as much as she could, I then realized it’s the same real life story I saw in Netflix. Such a brave and courageous woman 💯🤎
What's the name of the Netflix show??
@@shabnamafzalkhan1560 Not sure if it's the same show but I saw this on Forensic Files that use to be on Netflix. I think it's on Tubi now, it's on season 2 episode 8.
Wooooo thanks for the video! Love you guys
Great work EWU!!!! Another great episode ❤❤❤
Another top tier video!!! I have a great suggestion for a suspect that I guarantee your subs/viewers will enjoy. A perk - Not only has this interrogation not been done to death; it’s been discussed by only ONE obscure TC channel. Cant wait to see your breakdown!
Interrogation of Eric Ellis re: Kim Allen.
Thanks for the uploads I love watching this channel while I clean
EWU is cranking them out this week! Love it 👍💙🏴
Thank you Tammie! 🐺💛 We have some more videos on the way that have been in the works for some time!
Very intelligent your lady for 17 years old and for being so awfully brave. I was immersed and amazed
What a p.o.s, so many victims and his voice just seems so calm and unbothered mad world
Total psychopath
Thank you guys for putting these up. Love them. 💘
Lisa is an absolute boss. My aunt was abducted by 2 men in the early 70s. I don't know how she kept it but she did. She was SA'd in the vehicle while still moving... She um.. Grabbed downstairs after and proceeded to spread every bit on the seats and lining of the car. She was allowed a cigarette and threw the butt on the floor. When they took her into the woods and did their... thing - she threw her bra behind a tree. I still believe she was lucky as she convinced them to not kill her because she was pregnant. They left her. Both were caught. I'm not sure what happened to them after prison
Okay, I got about 3/4s of the way through the story before posting. But now I've finished, my soul is screaming for Lisa. This is such an effed ship show
My heart go out to those women and to Lisa for being the bamf she is!
God bless your aunt, remarkable woman.
Your aunt sounds awesome as heck!
@ianrichardspangler it actually scares me how aware she was. She did all of that to provide evidence and it turned out, one of my grandparents friend who worked for the county actually pulled up behind the vehicle she was being sa'd in and didn't see her but he still placed the car and that's why they found them so easy. My auntie is a queen!!
@ianrichardspangler She is! I seriously dont know how she managed to keep so cool. It did permanently effect her tho. My family found out later that a police officer had wanted to pull them over at a stop light for a regular check on out of state tags. He was good friends with my grandfather (aunties dad) and decided it wasn't worth it. She was being assaulted in the car during the stop light and this poor man never lived it down.
Edit: she wasn't actually pregnant. She lied
I find it interesting that if one looks into pretty much any serial killer, one will find that all of them have had a traumatic brain injury (or at least, medical records of head injury in the older ones) at some point in their lives, usually earlier in life.
I say that all the time! Sometimes I wonder if they can ever truly be born/made that way, or if there was always some type of injury in their lives. Possibly one no one even knew about, or even in utero lack of oxygen etc.
@@deadendqueen5886 At least in ones without some traumatic childhood. I personally think it's more of a, for a lack of a better word, personality quirk. A lot about a feeling of being out of control and finding control.
@@TheDJGrandPa I think it's down to a LOT of variables, abusive childhood, head injury, personality type, untreated mental health issues, etc.
Fascinating from a psychological standpoint, yet still always horrendous and uncalled for etc.
@@GentleRayneASMR on that we can agree 👌
All of those injuries seem more like child abuse than just an unlucky accident prone child!
I watch these religiously and my bf finally asked why. I told him i was hoping to see something that sounded like my moms case. She was kidnapped as a child and out smarted the man. She cant remember his name but can remember the area he took her and what his house looks like. I hope someday I hear he was caught. I hope he didnt go on to hurt more little girls.
Could you please do more wrongfully convicted episodes? I really loved the one you guys did a few weeks ago.
What episode was that?
Me too! 👍
"I didn't want to hurt her" a man who had killed many many people.
The human mind is a freaking wild place for some.
Always great work. Cheers! xx
My wife shares the same name as one of the victims and I live in WV. Kenova, where Bobby Long was born, is about 30min from my home and drive through it regularly.
Creepy...
just watched this now, and i just wanted to say that Lisa being a cop is so perfect. she is so attentive, courageous and intellegent at such a young age.
At 30:00….he was never prosecuted because the statute of limitations had run out by the time he was caught…how does that work? He did it. He admitted it. But because the cops couldn’t catch him, he just gets away with it?
Pretty much. Certain crimes carry a statute of limitations- a time limit that the DA's office has to bring charges against the accused. It's different from state to state though I think all states have no statute of limitations on murder. But they were referring to him assaulting the women he met through classified ads at that time and for assault, including sexual assault, there is a statute of limitations. Some may have been met because the women didn't report it and they didn't know about those particular ones until Bobby Joe himself told them but I do know that some of those attacks were reported. However they didn't have enough evidence to figure out who he was and couldn't file charges. I assume, because of his record, that these assaults were sexual in nature. I'm not sure what the statute of limitations was in Florida back then but now it's like 4 years, though several laws have been passed to either extend the limit or do away with the limit altogether in certain circumstances (like in the occurrence that the victim is a minor or if a weapon is used or if the victim is abducted and sexually assaulted, as well as some other scenarios- the statute of limitations is lifted). For some things like battery, the statute may be around 3 years, I think.
Same thing happened with the Golden state killer. He was prosecuted for the murders, but the statute of limitations had passed on most of the sexual assaults he committed. Feels like BS for the surviving victims
How did he get away with it? He was put to death.
It takes a certain kind of person to stay calm and play along with this sick person. God Bless this young lady. I hope she had help and can go on with her life as normal as possible. God Bless 🙏
I feel so bad for the little boys who found the body and had to see that 🥺
“Maggots covered her face”
As I take my first bite of a rice krispy treat. Excellent.
I LOVE the ending to this case...that Lisa made it AND helps others to this day. Other takeaway=PRACTICE w/scissors carried for self defense.
Amazing as always 👍
The way his voice sounds is so.. uncaring and cold Hearted..
And once I heared Lisa case I love the strength in her and her confidence!!
The others rest in peace
My mom was in her early 20s in tampa when this happened. She remembers it very well.
fun fact, his cousin was also serial killer: Henry Lee Lucas
Lisa, your bravery is incredible. May all the victim rest in peace. Bobby the evil cold blooded monster.
Dang ! Lol I was thinking to myself when is EWU Crime Storytime going to upload ? And Bam !!! I got the notification 💯☺️😎
Just what i needed thank you..
this one was very very interesting! WE NEED more of those kind, like actual voice recordings or videos! still very disturbed about the amount of victims.
