@pandoxvideos the weird thing about all this speculation (regarding the topic of this video), is that the case itself is very likely now closed (as an accidental death) and much of it could be obtained via public record request. Since it’s the feds, I would assume via FOIA, but that might make the task even easier than whatever state law is there. One simple PRR/FOIA request could shed a whole lot of light onto this topic and make for a hell of a ‘part 2’. Juat sayin…
You say that but parents have put kids in oven, microwave, washing machine. There are some messed up people out there so I'd be wanting more info before I assume it's kids also by looking juvenile wouldn't that remove suspicion from adults .. just a thought
I was a MP in the military and I’ll tell you first hand…stuff happens on base all the time and get swept under the rug or disappeared from public knowledge.
We would have “Hammer week”. It was a week where all the units would just play sports, do zero pt/training and most importantly… no talking to reporters.
Yeah if you remember that story of a women who was raped and murdered on base and the military got caught covering it up on every level but the media wouldn’t let it die and it was found they all were covering it up on purpose, never told the family that she was dead or maybe they told her a totally different cause of death
@@thing_under_the_stairs the fact that that's a question that can be asked is pretty fucked up. Like, there should not fucking be multiple cases like that.
@@bigbluegoo6490 Fort Hood is the biggest example, and I can't think of other names, but even before Fort Hood trials, stories were coming out of other bases around the world. This happens everywhere. There's even stories of universities as well. Usually some higher ups child, or someone that is the poster child of the place, like athletes, or the "model" soldier. Covering crimes of "important" people is a tale as old as time. But they're covered up, so it's hard to find anything concrete, like this story.
This is a true story. I lived on Shepard AFB during this time. I overheard my parents talking about this story when it happened. This was a big deal on the base, and almost none of us were allowed to play outside on our own without supervision after this event. I went to Kate Haynes Elementary, and everything changed.. We had a buddy system and a more secure school after this
@@mattg4836 this whole thing smells like a hoax. It's unbelievable there wasent a single local news report from the time somewhere online. Especially it being in a small town. The local news would eat this story up. All someone has to do is call the local PD and ask if the story is real or not. Hell maybe even call and ask the FBI for info.
Update: I spoke to my mom about this. She confirmed it did happen. She worked in the hospital at the time, and the ER techs told mom about what happened. GRAPHIC: They had a hard time getting the child out of the dishwasher because his flesh was falling off of his bones as he was basically cooked. They said they think that he and his brother were playing hide and seek, he got into the dishwasher, and it was accidentally turned on. Also, the dishwasher racks were not on the father's bed. The bottom rack was on top of the counter.
Older kids probably killed him and their parents were probably high ranking officers so they had the power to cover it up. Being shoved in a dishwasher sounds like something a juvenile would do. If it was an adult they would have the forethought of simply putting the body in a bag and getting rid of it off base.
You’d be surprised . There’s a lot of idiot killers out there that keep the bodies in the house until the police show up or their probation officer shows up for a routine check and finds it
I don't know if there's a dishwasher that can be turned on from the inside, also I expect that an 11 year old boy would understand that he can't put himself through a dishwasher cycle safely, an accident seems very unlikely.
They can be. My dishwasher has a button on the inner edge and once closed (this could be done from the inside quite easily if someone wanted to) it will then lock and start a cycle. However I don’t believe this happened, it just seems unlikely and I agree the kid would be old enough to know it would be a bad idea. Just an edit , I’m in the U.K. and from England to wales all the dishwashers I’ve had have been as stated, however I have no idea what US ones are like.
I actually live in wichita falls and was a high schooler when it happened. It was literally a news article and a section on the news for one or two days, then all info dissapeared. Wichita falls police do not get involved in military affairs, so it went quiet. Rumors could be the dad, bullies, he did it himself, tragic accident, etc.
I don't understand you guys. You all think it's just some miraculous coincidence the ONLY case of this happening on the day that a dishwasher repairman happened to be there?!?? No. It isn't a coincidence. There's NEVER been even one other case of this happening (the toddler doesn't count that was a baby). It has SOMETHING to do with why he ended up in the dishwasher. We just don't know what. It's too extremely extremely unlikely for a little boy to be ended inside of a dishwasher the same day the dishwasher repairman is supposed to be there. Has anyone filed a freedom of information request?
What a terrifying and interesting case. The way this was set up with the strange blog comments I was almost sure it was going to end up being some sort of hoax. I believe the military base cover this up in some way, as they often do with murders that take place on a base. No way an 11 year old ends up trapped in a running dishwasher on accident, someone forced him in there. Major props for your research on this, very impressive
When a child dies on base, it's not usually reported in the local newspaper.. most times, the only way it makes it off the base is when someone gossips about it to someone who's not on base. There was a kid in California in the late 80s early 90s that set a neighbors house on fire. He had broken in, then accidently locked himself in and he died, he had developmental disabilities and his parents always left him alone, he was always going around to people's homes and just walking in.. if you look for the story you won't be able to find it unless you can access military base records
I honestly believe that it’s more likely that an older kid or kids on the base did this to Christopher. TH-cam is full of videos of vicious older kids torturing and bullying younger boys and unless the mother or father had a history of psychotic behavior, it’s unlikely that they would have done something so cruel and drawn out in time to their own child. People that know the parents from the base would have seen something.
Must admit, when I heard of bullying, that it sounds like just the kind of thing young kids trying to be dominant would think up. Just an idea, not really based on anything but a thought - just interesting that someone else had the same idea.
Imagine the guilt the stepfather and mother had to live with knowing that if they had just let him come with he'd be alive. Poor Ashley too, no kid should have to go through losing someone they cared about and then be harassed for being connected to the case.
I have two thoughts on this. One, it was probably another person and not just him fooling around. This was on a base, in base housing, in 2000. That dishwasher was probably ten years old already if not 20. Like the one person said in the video, many had latches then. You had a bar you'd have to slide over to lock the door so it'd run. A lot of them still had the buttons you had to push in for each cycle, too. They'd pop back out when the cycle ended. Or dials that ran through like washing machines. It'd be pretty strange to turn an empty dishwasher to run and just have it sit. Not impossible, but not very probable. Let's Occam's razor this. Two, it was probably a kid, imo. An adult would think, "Oh, this isn't a good idea." because the rotating arm isn't gonna spin if a kid's sitting on it, so it's not gonna work. But a kid may not have the aversion to blocking the arm an adult has. A kid could reasonably think that, if it was intentional after the fact, a dishwasher cleans things. Get rid of evidence, take the drawers out so he fits. But an adult is gonna know that isn't gonna work very well. But I, honestly, think it's unlikely that it was intentional after the fact. So, I'm thinking play gone wrong or a malicious peer. Either they were fooling around and didn't realize, or they put him in there to hurt him. Also possibly not realizing it would do damage on that scale. I mean, how many kids have we seen die because they got into appliances just playing? We have a whole host of safety features just because that was happening so often. Either way, RIP, Christopher. It's really a tragic thing to have happened.
They can cover up anything, a dead kid on base is small potatoes (not to sound callous.) I'm certain that a close friend killed another man on a military base years ago. He all but confessed to me without really confessing to me, ya know what I mean? He offered absolutely no motive or means by which he did so and I didn't ask any questions. I didn't want to know. Point is, this happens all the time.
We had a couple but you would have to have something inside to pull on to get the handle to latch shut. The first one was relatively new/nice in 2000, so maybe not what they'd have in military housing, I'm not sure.
I never had a dishwasher with any type of closing mechanism. The door simply "clicks" shut and you can just pull it open again, without pressing any buttons or latches. Which means someone inside the dishwasher can simply push the door open from the inside. Since it's military housing, I guess the dishwasher was pretty old, maybe back in the day they had some type of latch mechanism.
Excellent writing, I had no idea if this would turn out to be an actual case or not. Tragically it is, I hope the family is able to find peace in their memories of Christopher.
a little bit ago i stumbled across this case and it infuriated me so much. i have a lot of experience searching for people in these strange cases, so i figured it would be easy. nope. at first, i had to find out if christopher even existed. i struggled so hard to find anything complete. i found a findagrave, but no photo of the actual grave, just photos of christopher. i found so many people claiming to know him, but no photos or yearbook pictures or anything. and then once i found the interview with his sister, i struggled to find anything concrete besides her testimony. no death certificate, no birth records, and nothing about the legal aspects after. so thank you for talking about this case. i've wanted to do the same, but my skills lie in research, i am no where near as talented in editing.
Man this is one of the cons of the internet. It has its pros in terms of archival, and is blessing to be able to research all of this all of these years later to this extent, the cons of not being able to truly trust all of those claims of knowing Chris and being in his neighborhood and the differing news articles make this mystery a little frustrating. Although i guess this is just more of a human problem than it being solely an internet problem lol.
I don't know. Most are saying they were just nearby, and military bases have a lot of people with a lot of connections and a lot of turnover. I worked at a rec center where kids from Kyron Horman's school went after school and in the summer. His disappearance had a huge effect on all of us and truly hundreds of thousands of other people
Also, a childhood friend of mine's biological father is literally a serial killer. A lot of people know my friend because he's beautiful and charming and makes friends everywhere. He had the same name as his dad (he goes by a different name). I look up his dad sometimes to check for updates. I know other people do the same thing. So I'm sure it's like "how did all these people who know this guy end up on this site?" It's because we looked it up, and a lot of us only know his kids It's very difficult to determine how many people is too many to be realistic
I used to wrap my salmon in aluminum foil and pop it in the dishwasher to steam. That poor kid suffered for sure as he was being cooked in the dishwasher. Even my shower doesn’t get that scorching hot!
I want to know was he dead before he was put in there or did he die because of being inside of there? It seems like the pathologist should of been able to tell what killed this boy. Either way i defintely think he was murdered. Maybe not premeditated but definately someone killed this boy. I really do hope some day this family gets the answers they deserve.and to his mom how are u gonna let ur husband tell u your own son can not come on a trip with u and your other children? I have 2 sons and yes it can be challenging but it will be a cold day in hell anyone tells me my kids cant take a vacation with me. Wtf?
This was an issue in the investigation. The dishwasher would provide heated water and would not allow an accurate time of death due to not knowing if they died before it ran or if the dishwasher heated the body up.
@@Christobevii3 wouldn't they find water and/or detergent in the boy's lungs? Proteins and substances might break down during the cycle, but if he was alive there had to be water in his lungs.
Fantastic job Pandox, the sound and editing are superb. Many other horror TH-camrs would talk over stock footage, but you keep it simple and effective. The simple text screenshots over dark colors and industrial noise (?) and nothing else lets the mind run wild which creates a greater sense of dread.
I think it's very likely it was an accident. When I was a kid I was playing hide and seek and decided to hide in the toy bin outside. It couldn't be opened from the inside so I was trapped in there. If no one found me I easily could have died. What I suspect happened is he thought "I wonder if I can take a shower in the washing machine". Took the racks out, brought them to his room, and got in the dishwasher himself. The only thing that puzzles me is how the dishwasher would have turned on with him in it. Very sad.
Dear Friends, this is really crazy, this Lad was murdered. No 11 yr old boy would remove his clothes and then put himself in a washing machine knowing it would burn him seriously. He was 11 yrs old and not stupid. This is clearly murder. As for the day. His cloth were off and the cloth were judt outside next to the dishwasher. He wouldn't do that himself. This is a shame abd because this happened on a military base it is pushed to the side and forgotten. 👵🙏
This is so weird, yet can't help thinking that if it _did_ happen on a military base, it wouldn't be at all surprising that the story was suppressed and no trace of it can be found today. (It's hurting my head that 2000 is 23 years ago.) Either it was a terrible accident (the repairman took out the racks to fix the thing, then Christopher thought it might be a lark to get in it and it started up?) or foul play (other kids? the dishwasher repairman?). Wonder when the dishwasher was repaired, before or after the father came home for lunch...? What a terrible fate for that poor kid. I feel for the family. Edit: To elaborate on above, I wonder if he thought it would be funny to climb in and hide from his dad and scare him when he got home, and somehow it accidentally started... misadventure, indeed. :(
Wow. This channel is a surprising find. It's well put together especially when considering the subscriber count. I am now subbed. This video woke up a memory from a while back that I don't think I've entertained since it's creation. I am from Wichita Falls and still live here, and Christopher Morris's step mom was my high school chemistry teacher. I remember a classmate told me Mrs. Morris had opened up about the incident a little bit to some of the students on a day I had missed class. I half way thought he was kind of full of it because it sounded pretty incredible to me, but he seemed sincere when he was telling me about it. Really, I don't have anything enlightening to offer overall though. Mrs. Morris still lives in town as far as I know. I just kind of wish I could have told her she was an excellent chemistry teacher, and I was really able to punch above my weight when it came to chemistry in college.
Even if it is a different Wichita (Wichita Falls) this immediately makes me think of BTK who was known for disguising himself as repairmen and/or ADT servicemen in order to gain intel and access to people’s homes. This just popped in my head after hearing Wichita so many times during this story.
Given these two places are a distance of roughly 4 hours between each other, it is however basically a straight shot according to GPS. It claims BTK was loose until 2005 and the victims reported seem to only be listed within his immediate area. Whose to say within this time he didn’t visit this area. I haven’t even finished the video yet so let’s hope my theory isn’t too short lived.
I can verify that this case IS real! I worked in the Tricare office (military health insurance) at Sheppard AFB, during that time. Yes this is sad but very true. I remember members of the Judge advocates office coming to the Tricare office trying to obtain all medical records of this military family, during the investigation. I recall my boss informing them we would need a search warrant, and referred to our supervisors. As best I can recall the boy was found naked in the dishwasher with his clothes folded neatly nearby and was ruled an accident.
What if the repair man came and took the shelves out from the dishwasher, and then the kid not realizing how dangerous it was hid inside of the dishwasher to play with in the repair man, closing the door behind him. The repairman, not knowing he was in there started the dishwasher, and upon realizing that the kid was inside, he panicked and left, leaving the kid inside?
This happened down the street from my friends base housing. He was a year younger and remember it being an issue because we would drop off my friend after football practice on the base. You used to just get waived through at the gate as it was across the street from the main base and that day we couldn't drop him off. This was out of the normal until 9/11 happened.
@@SamHain781 yes, my friend lived like a street over and knew the kid and played with him at times. Due to the school geography relative to the base, many of the SAFB kids went to school at the base and then would go to Junior High or High School in Burkburnett. Most of the base families at the time lived in this housing which consisted of Duplexes that shared a wall and driveway. It was a very close community there due to how spousal/family support in the military is and the sporting and rec infrastructure on base. I can think of three different people that lived within two blocks of the house he was murdered in that lived there and I went to highschool with when it happened. I see every now and then someone ask if there is any update on facebook.
I believe this is the first video form you I've watched, but it certainly won't be the last. While having multiple people provide information such as emails is admittedly suspicious, I feel as if there's very likely a group of people who grew up together, who probably send links or talked about whenever they found a post or article that reminded them of this boy. Also- them being potentially bad with technology is worth a mention. I've been told about, and have vague recollections of horrible things happening during preschool until first grade, in the mid 2000s, and failed at finding much of anything about it online. Sometimes stuff goes down, is kept hush-hush enough, and is so poorly documented that it falls through the cracks. My mom and aunt grew up in the same area that a super horrific and violent murder took place, to one of their peers. Lots of the people who went to school with either him or the perpetrator keep in contact to send updates and articles regarding his case.
What if the repair man cased the place and returned later after the dad went back to work to rob it, in the process having Christopher get in the washing machine to keep him from stopping him, whether deliberate or not the washer could’ve been started since Chris’ sister did say it couldn’t start unless it was latched. This sounds like a logical conclusion to me based on the information in the video but sadly we may never know
Pretty sure he would have been investigated. I doubt the other fingerprint was his, as his would be all over the machine and counter. The other fingerprint was someone else's.
i love that you make videos on cases i've never heard before! i love the music, and the old video tape aesthetic (for lack of a better word), felt like i was settling down to watch a spooky film or something!! ❤❤
Hey man please keep up these great videos! The Voiceover, the visuals.. this has to be so much work. We realy appreciate it and im just waiting for this channel to blow up. All the best!
I dont know about the rest of you, but tbis is utter bollocks to me. For one, i can open my dishwasher door at any point in the cycle. No buttons, just pull it open. Presumably you could do the same from inside, jus push it. For 2, a dishwasher isn't going to do anything with the weight of body on the arms! a laywr of hot water might come in, beyond that though, sitting on the lower arms and putting a hand on the top ones is going to stop anything happening. More believable if it was a waahing machine, able to drown you, but a dishwasher?? Nope.
No idea if this story is real or not, but my grandparents have a dishwasher from the 80s that locks from the outside and has an internal heating element separate from the hot water that works similar to the coils on a toaster. Kind of a scary machine, lol
This supposedly happened in 2000. You know when appliances would last 20+ years. Base housing is like renting a house or apartment. The dishwasher is supplied.
It all sounds too 'true-crimey'. All the blog posts and Ashley's testimony seems to be written in the same voice too, that insufferable redditor-creepypasta style.
Dishwashers get to 160°f. At that time we had one you didn't need to latch and it had a sanitize setting. You set all the settings, pushed the door shut and it started. Then you could open it again after that. If you closed it again I believe it would restart on its own. I don't think this is what happened but it's an accident that can happen
A case that I have always found interesting and not talked about at all except that one podcast the devil within, the murder suicide of Betty Anne Sullivan by her son Thomas Sullivan Jr, there is like no coverage on this case to the point I thought it was a fiction podcast, but there is one article from like 1988 I found. It has satanic elements a lot of juicy stuff idk why it's not covered
@@pandoxvideosYour channel is so much better than a lot of other channels with a higher production quality and narrator. Great job and keep it up!!! Your work is appreciated.
Fantastic video. Perfectly laid out from start to finish, with great editing, story telling, and visuals. This channel has everything it takes to be massive and I’m getting in on the ground floor. As for the case, I feel like any speculation is useless as there’s no evidence to support any of the narratives. Sure, there’s probability to take into account with the statistics of certain crimes, but they’re not evidence. I *feel* like he had to have been put in there on purpose, but it’s such a strange case, and an even stranger conversation around it. Great job bro. Literally knocked this video out of the park! Look forward to more
Great video. This is the type of stuff that more people need to talk about. I'm touched by the comments from those who were around when it happened and their need to keep his memory alive and perhaps get some justice. It's obvious the military and government covered it up from getting wider publicity, and it's just one of so many other crimes they've covered up.
To me the only way this could’ve been an accident is if this kid thought I’d be fun to see if he could take a “bath” or “shower” in the dishwasher, maybe that’s why he took his clothes off. Just my theory tho since it sounds like something I would’ve done if I was a kid lol
You know considering this happened on a military base and that not much is out there about the case could be because of the father’s ranking and or his role in the military
Since we are on the topic of dishwashers, I would like to share with everyone proper dishwasher use and why they shouldn't use soap pods. Dishwashers use very little water. Much less than hand washed dishes. If you use a dishwasher properly, then there is no need to prewash your dishes before loading them into the dishwasher. Before you start your dishwasher, run the hot water on the faucet attached to the dishwasher and run the water that's lost its heat out of the water line, run it until hot water begins to flow. Next, add soap to the dispensing tray, filling it about halfway. Adding too much soap will leave a residue on your dishes. Be sure to add extra soap directly into the dishwasher, or sometimes the dispensing tray will have a concaved indent next to it. This is where you add the soap for the first cycle. dishwashers run two stages. It is important to have soap in the machine during both phases. First, the pre-wash, which lasts about 15 minutes. Your dishwasher will drain and then start the main wash. The dispensing tray opens during the main wash. Hot water is WAY more effective for cleaning than cold. This is why it's important to run your faucet before you start your washer. If you follow this guide, I guarantee your dishes will be clean, and you will never need to pre-wash again. Using pods only allows soap to be in use during the main wash. This goes against, fundamentally, how a dishwasher functions. Follow these steps and let your dishwasher do all the work!
Wow i was just thinking of this case the other day and when i clicked on the video i was like i hope this is about Christopher Aaron Morris. You should look up Colonel Philip Shue mysterious death which also takes place in Texas it’s an odd one like this one.
One thing here, there's a lot of pretty crazy things that even still happen that might have an initial article or something about it, and poof you never hear about it again. Stuff that happened in those times? Theres so much from the 80s-early 00s that happened that are just wiped. Honestly
I really don't know how to stress this because of the nature of exactly what we're talking about. But I've been somewhat paying attention for a pretty long time and I've known a lot of people and a lot of pretty wild people and personally know of things that happened and you just heard almost nothing or nothing at all about it. And then all the things that you'd hear about without much explanation with the promise of a follow up, that never happens
I don't understand why deaths and incidents that happen on military bases don't get reported on in the media. What is the point of keeping it hush hush. I've heard of several child deaths from incidents only through word of mouth, since it happened on military bases. It's just so bizarre to me.
Death was out for that boy. If only his stepfather allowed him to be with his Mom. If only the repairman didn’t fix the dishwasher. If only… that’s all I got.
This makes total sense to me, even the weird posts which are probably ppl who believe the father is guilty, and there’s no evidence supporting this so it could be a way to push the narrative and make it seem like it’s a natural push to find answers. It could be a natural push as well but ppl are deranged and believe they’re investigators and do weird things to push their opinions on these matters. For instance the person that would “bet their life” that it’s a relative, they use things to make their opinion or view of the case look more likely or like evidence when the statistics can just as easily be used to show it’s not always the case. Idk if that person is deranged or just had a thought they shared but the point remains the same. It’s not evidence and our feelings or opinions are simply that and there are consequences to them, the fact they hurt other ppl shouldn’t make it ok. We don’t know what happened.. if the kid was waiting for a repairman and a person showed up to rob the house, he could’ve thought the robber was there to repair the dishwasher and brought him to it. Multiple things can happen at that point. He could’ve played hide and seek. He could’ve been hiding on the father who accidentally closed it all the way. We don’t know, and it must be awful to have strangers behaving as though they care more than the family as they blame the family. It’s likely the police only had the father as a suspect finding no evidence and nowhere else to investigate. There could be things that were kept quiet in case a suspect is developed who shouldn’t know details. Or bc it occurred on a military base, whether suppressed or happening due to multiple investigative groups not having cohesion. It’s a shame it wasn’t solved, these things destroy countless lives. It’s good to shine a light on cases like this, there’s two sides to TH-cam with this stuff. There’s this channel doing a legitimate episode and shining a light, but there’s also ppl who act as tho they know what happened and blame family and get followings bc of if, which is really terrible
Also it’s not difficult to find the case online. What is difficult to find is anything about it being a murder, because it wasn’t, and that crap just comes from kids on reddit /social media.
My first thought was, was the little sister there? Were they playing? Did something go wrong? Was somebody dared to do this? I swore they said earlier that both kids were left home, so why is one child completely fine?
I dont understand why the only fingerprints that the preliminary forensic results shown are the the ones of the family... where are the ones from the repair guy?
As someone who’s sister is in the navy recently something happened and they chalk it up to suicides and tell different stories from different people on the base. My sister was with him the day prior before he “jumped” out of one of the apartments
Some of the comments on this video are almost as absurd as the posts shown in the video. The kid likely died as the result of an accident. He was probably trying to hide in the dishwasher and didn’t realize he wouldn’t be able to get the door open from the inside after closing it on himself. Many dishwashers will start the cycle when the door locks. Also, while rare, there are cases of kids hiding in washing machines and getting killed by the wash cycle turning on. I think it’s very similar to those cases. A kid that age would be smart enough to know he can’t literally put himself through the wash cycle in the dishwasher, but I highly doubt that was his intent. I think he was just trying to hide either from another child in the house while playing, or to pop out and prank someone else in the house. Unfortunately he got stuck in there.
Seriously don’t see what’s so suspicious about the comments to the post. They make perfect sense to me. Think about it. If when you were a kid there was a kid your age who you went to school with or that lived down the street etc who was found dead in such bizarre circumstances, and also for which you never got any answers you’d always be curious about it. You’d probably go searching for answers about it on the internet. You’d probably end up on a blog post talking about child deaths on military bases, which is obviously what happened for many of these people. If anything this shows the effect such events have on a young person’s psyche. Something like this is a fairly traumatic thing that sticks with a child. Something that sticks with a child even as they grow up. Just listen to the comments about how they could no longer go anywhere and how it was basically a life altering event for them. Now factor that in to it occurring in a somewhat isolated closed off community like a military base. That just amplifies the situation even more. Then factor in how they were never given any answers and it seemed like it was just forgotten about. Stuff like that only amplifies a person’s suspicion and curiosity. It amplifies their desire for answers and resolution.
I have a hard time believing the accident theory for many of the obvious reasons already laid out in the video or mentioned in the comments, but also bc I really don’t think a kid/kids who were just messing around would have gotten naked before climbing in the dishwasher. Seems like the cops really shat the bed on this one….😒 I truly hope Christopher and his family get the justice they deserve someday. RIP Christopher Morris 💔🪦🕊️
The cops wouldn't have handled this. It would have been the military. There is absolutely an interest in covering up something this heinous. It would be disgraceful for the military to admit something this awful had happened on a base.
Theres a lot of varying degrees of child abuse on post. I used to see kids getting "smoked" outside on post housing. Mine were heavily abused while i was deployed. So young that ill never know the full extent of what happened.
I was a teenager during the infancy of the internet and this TH-cam video is the first I ever heard of this case. You can look up the father, Carl Morris, if he served in the military during that time period with the National Archive Records in St. Louis, MO with the Freedom of Information Act. They’ll only give you a basic summary the veterans’ date of service and what branch he or she served in. They won’t give you the veteran’s copy of his DD214 unless if you have their Social Security Number or Serial Number which has more info of their service such as their MOS, military schooling, what duty station they served in, if he was in the first Gulf War, Panama, or Somalia and what medals they earned.
I’m commenting while I’m at the transition point between “online” and “offline,” and so far, it sounds to me like someone misremembered a tragedy and accidentally created a hoax. Kids have definitely died by climbing into a dishwasher to see what it looks like inside while it’s running. I think the simplest explanation is that an unsupervised child got curious about how dishwashers work and accidentally died as a result… if it’s even a real death!
As for the model of dishwasher, my old apartment had a dishwasher was the kind that had a lever latch that needed to be closed to run the dishwasher. However, if you slammed the door, the latch would partially close on its own, and it would be impossible to open the door again until it was fully unlatched. There are so many ways that that basic safety mechanism can fail
This is what I was thinking also. Kids with ADHD can get curious and do things without thinking them through. If someone was coming to fix the dishwasher, I could easily see this triggering a kids curiosity. Him being nude is the only thing that throws me off but idk, kids are weird.
@@emilyritter5590 I don’t even think it’s odd that he was undressed, since the sister said the clothes were found in a pile on the floor beside the dishwasher. I really think the kid just wanted to know HOW the dishwasher functions and climbed inside willingly, not realizing the hot water would scald him and that he’d be suffocated. And I’m speaking as someone with ADHD who has, on many occasions, definitely overridden safety mechanisms for the sole purpose of figuring out how something works
@@n3a7 oh I see. Like he went in knowing he'd get wet, but nothing else. That makes a lot of sense. Tragic for sure. This is a really good example of why sometimes it's safer to have kids be medicated. A lack of impulse control can become very dangerous, very fast.
@NicksReallyBored both you and the OP make really good points. I don't have anything to add, just wanted to say thanks for yall's input. But I'd like to know if any of the rest of the video changed OP's opinion?
Okay the dishwasher being broken/repaired is key here -- a broken dishwasher, and then a child being found dead in said dishwasher...this is too coincidental. So either A) the repairman did it, or B) it was an accidental death. Let's look at option A: absolutely no motive, and surely the police would have immediately investigated him as a prime suspect. Plus, the fact that the newspaper articles seem to insinuate that there's no ongoing threat to the community and that it appeared like an accident. So option A doesn't hold a lot of water to me. So let's look at option B. Let's say Chris and Unknown Teen are playing at Chris's house, up to no good because there are no parents around. Chris: "Yeah our dishwasher was broken but someone came and repaired it." (Hell, maybe repairman was even present at the house when the two boys were playing. Who knows.) Teen: "Oh yeah? Well we should test it out and see if it's really working! I'll take the dish racks out, you get in it, haha!" Chris gets in, Teen latches the dishwasher and starts the cycle. Problem is, once the boys realize this isn't a game any more and it's dangerous, Teen boy (who probably has no idea how to properly use a dishwasher) can't get the cycle to stop, panics, can't open the door, etc. Chris is trapped and dies, probably due to drowning. The police investigate, they come to the devastating conclusion that this was a terrible accident, and the whole thing is swept under the rug to protect the identity of Teen, who is probably traumatized from what happened. Just a little blurb in the newspaper about supervising your children and that's it. This, imho, is the most plausible and also least sinister scenario. Teen probably fled the house in fear, leaving dad to find the dishracks on the counter and no Chris in sight...until he opened it up.

could be connected to watergate.
@pandoxvideos the weird thing about all this speculation (regarding the topic of this video), is that the case itself is very likely now closed (as an accidental death) and much of it could be obtained via public record request. Since it’s the feds, I would assume via FOIA, but that might make the task even easier than whatever state law is there. One simple PRR/FOIA request could shed a whole lot of light onto this topic and make for a hell of a ‘part 2’. Juat sayin…
You say that but parents have put kids in oven, microwave, washing machine. There are some messed up people out there so I'd be wanting more info before I assume it's kids also by looking juvenile wouldn't that remove suspicion from adults .. just a thought
I was a MP in the military and I’ll tell you first hand…stuff happens on base all the time and get swept under the rug or disappeared from public knowledge.
We would have “Hammer week”. It was a week where all the units would just play sports, do zero pt/training and most importantly… no talking to reporters.
Yeah if you remember that story of a women who was raped and murdered on base and the military got caught covering it up on every level but the media wouldn’t let it die and it was found they all were covering it up on purpose, never told the family that she was dead or maybe they told her a totally different cause of death

@@bigbluegoo6490 Fort Hood is the biggest example, and I can't think of other names, but even before Fort Hood trials, stories were coming out of other bases around the world.
This happens everywhere. There's even stories of universities as well.

Covering crimes of "important" people is a tale as old as time.
But they're covered up, so it's hard to find anything concrete, like this story.
@@bigbluegoo6490Happens a lot in places like Japan and the Philippines, Reignbot covered one of those cases last year.
@@juliosilva2301Deep cut military barracks in Britain is another
This is a true story. I lived on Shepard AFB during this time. I overheard my parents talking about this story when it happened. This was a big deal on the base, and almost none of us were allowed to play outside on our own without supervision after this event. I went to Kate Haynes Elementary, and everything changed.. We had a buddy system and a more secure school after this
can't imagine a mysterious death of a kid my age growing up, i would have been absolutely paranoid constantly
Is this one of the odd comments he's referring to?
@@mattg4836 this whole thing smells like a hoax. It's unbelievable there wasent a single local news report from the time somewhere online. Especially it being in a small town. The local news would eat this story up. All someone has to do is call the local PD and ask if the story is real or not. Hell maybe even call and ask the FBI for info.
You kaled him
Update: I spoke to my mom about this. She confirmed it did happen. She worked in the hospital at the time, and the ER techs told mom about what happened. GRAPHIC: They had a hard time getting the child out of the dishwasher because his flesh was falling off of his bones as he was basically cooked. They said they think that he and his brother were playing hide and seek, he got into the dishwasher, and it was accidentally turned on. Also, the dishwasher racks were not on the father's bed. The bottom rack was on top of the counter.
Older kids probably killed him and their parents were probably high ranking officers so they had the power to cover it up. Being shoved in a dishwasher sounds like something a juvenile would do. If it was an adult they would have the forethought of simply putting the body in a bag and getting rid of it off base.

I don't know if there's a dishwasher that can be turned on from the inside, also I expect that an 11 year old boy would understand that he can't put himself through a dishwasher cycle safely, an accident seems very unlikely.
Preset on time?
They can be. My dishwasher has a button on the inner edge and once closed (this could be done from the inside quite easily if someone wanted to) it will then lock and start a cycle. However I don’t believe this happened, it just seems unlikely and I agree the kid would be old enough to know it would be a bad idea.
Just an edit , I’m in the U.K. and from England to wales all the dishwashers I’ve had have been as stated, however I have no idea what US ones are like.
One can never know anymore but it sure is a damn shame
@@elonmusket4213grrrr. ur mom sadly just,
@@elonmusket4213LMAO
I actually live in wichita falls and was a high schooler when it happened. It was literally a news article and a section on the news for one or two days, then all info dissapeared. Wichita falls police do not get involved in military affairs, so it went quiet. Rumors could be the dad, bullies, he did it himself, tragic accident, etc.
"police do not get involved in military affairs" in the connection with the murder of a child just sounds like something out of Hollywood..
Local police never get involved in military affairs/justice. That's pretty much the standard.
Correct. They often don’t even have any police authority on military property.
I don't understand you guys. You all think it's just some miraculous coincidence the ONLY case of this happening on the day that a dishwasher repairman happened to be there?!?? No. It isn't a coincidence. There's NEVER been even one other case of this happening (the toddler doesn't count that was a baby). It has SOMETHING to do with why he ended up in the dishwasher. We just don't know what. It's too extremely extremely unlikely for a little boy to be ended inside of a dishwasher the same day the dishwasher repairman is supposed to be there. Has anyone filed a freedom of information request?
What a terrifying and interesting case. The way this was set up with the strange blog comments I was almost sure it was going to end up being some sort of hoax. I believe the military base cover this up in some way, as they often do with murders that take place on a base. No way an 11 year old ends up trapped in a running dishwasher on accident, someone forced him in there. Major props for your research on this, very impressive
Thanks for watching!
When a child dies on base, it's not usually reported in the local newspaper.. most times, the only way it makes it off the base is when someone gossips about it to someone who's not on base.
There was a kid in California in the late 80s early 90s that set a neighbors house on fire. He had broken in, then accidently locked himself in and he died, he had developmental disabilities and his parents always left him alone, he was always going around to people's homes and just walking in.. if you look for the story you won't be able to find it unless you can access military base records
This is the Captain Kutchie's Key Lime Pie of child murders.
Exactly what i was thinking lol
I was also thinking this
I honestly believe that it’s more likely that an older kid or kids on the base did this to Christopher. TH-cam is full of videos of vicious older kids torturing and bullying younger boys and unless the mother or father had a history of psychotic behavior, it’s unlikely that they would have done something so cruel and drawn out in time to their own child. People that know the parents from the base would have seen something.
if true, one of the kids mentioned me was on lockdown and couldn't play with other kids, which ads credence to your theory
Must admit, when I heard of bullying, that it sounds like just the kind of thing young kids trying to be dominant would think up. Just an idea, not really based on anything but a thought - just interesting that someone else had the same idea.
Remember those black kids in Chicago tortured that autistic kid and nothing happened
@@JoeRogansForehead what a normal thing to say!
@@annie420xx I know right ? I’m god tier based
Ashley has my sympathies. The stepfather that had discluded Christopher from the trip with his Mom: just wrong dude.
What’s disclude mean?🤣
@@JakeF92077colloquialism for exclude
That’s what I was thinking. What an ahole
@@JakeF92077opposite of INclude. You're welcome.
Imagine the guilt the stepfather and mother had to live with knowing that if they had just let him come with he'd be alive. Poor Ashley too, no kid should have to go through losing someone they cared about and then be harassed for being connected to the case.
I have two thoughts on this.
One, it was probably another person and not just him fooling around. This was on a base, in base housing, in 2000. That dishwasher was probably ten years old already if not 20. Like the one person said in the video, many had latches then. You had a bar you'd have to slide over to lock the door so it'd run. A lot of them still had the buttons you had to push in for each cycle, too. They'd pop back out when the cycle ended. Or dials that ran through like washing machines. It'd be pretty strange to turn an empty dishwasher to run and just have it sit. Not impossible, but not very probable. Let's Occam's razor this.
Two, it was probably a kid, imo. An adult would think, "Oh, this isn't a good idea." because the rotating arm isn't gonna spin if a kid's sitting on it, so it's not gonna work. But a kid may not have the aversion to blocking the arm an adult has. A kid could reasonably think that, if it was intentional after the fact, a dishwasher cleans things. Get rid of evidence, take the drawers out so he fits. But an adult is gonna know that isn't gonna work very well. But I, honestly, think it's unlikely that it was intentional after the fact.
So, I'm thinking play gone wrong or a malicious peer. Either they were fooling around and didn't realize, or they put him in there to hurt him. Also possibly not realizing it would do damage on that scale. I mean, how many kids have we seen die because they got into appliances just playing? We have a whole host of safety features just because that was happening so often.
Either way, RIP, Christopher. It's really a tragic thing to have happened.
You'd be surprised, I know a grown man in his mid 30s who thought that dishwashers fill up with water like a washing machine
They can cover up anything, a dead kid on base is small potatoes (not to sound callous.) I'm certain that a close friend killed another man on a military base years ago. He all but confessed to me without really confessing to me, ya know what I mean? He offered absolutely no motive or means by which he did so and I didn't ask any questions. I didn't want to know. Point is, this happens all the time.
I've never owned a dishwasher that could run without a latch on the outside being flipped. No one does this to themselves.
We had a couple but you would have to have something inside to pull on to get the handle to latch shut. The first one was relatively new/nice in 2000, so maybe not what they'd have in military housing, I'm not sure.
I don't think any kid did this to himself, to be clear
Houdini maybe. Not a lot of Houdinis around though.
I never had a dishwasher with any type of closing mechanism. The door simply "clicks" shut and you can just pull it open again, without pressing any buttons or latches. Which means someone inside the dishwasher can simply push the door open from the inside.
Since it's military housing, I guess the dishwasher was pretty old, maybe back in the day they had some type of latch mechanism.
Your videos are fantastic. The aesthetic is just great. You clearly put in a lot of work and manage to distinguish yourself from the crowd.
Wow, thank you!
Excellent writing, I had no idea if this would turn out to be an actual case or not. Tragically it is, I hope the family is able to find peace in their memories of Christopher.
That old school introduction screen made me feel warm inside. Not in a disturbing way. Thank you for this video van the man pandox
Thanks!
Sadly, there's a ton of predators in the military. Tragic shit gets swept under the rug on a daily basis. Don't surprises me it go little coverage.
a little bit ago i stumbled across this case and it infuriated me so much.
i have a lot of experience searching for people in these strange cases, so i figured it would be easy. nope.
at first, i had to find out if christopher even existed. i struggled so hard to find anything complete. i found a findagrave, but no photo of the actual grave, just photos of christopher. i found so many people claiming to know him, but no photos or yearbook pictures or anything.
and then once i found the interview with his sister, i struggled to find anything concrete besides her testimony. no death certificate, no birth records, and nothing about the legal aspects after.
so thank you for talking about this case. i've wanted to do the same, but my skills lie in research, i am no where near as talented in editing.
Pulling up the Findagrave page, there is a headstone picture uploaded now. It's in Oak Hill Memorial near McAlester, Oklahoma.
Man this is one of the cons of the internet. It has its pros in terms of archival, and is blessing to be able to research all of this all of these years later to this extent, the cons of not being able to truly trust all of those claims of knowing Chris and being in his neighborhood and the differing news articles make this mystery a little frustrating.
Although i guess this is just more of a human problem than it being solely an internet problem lol.
It's also a reoccurring theme across numerous cases.
There's always people on the internet that want to make themselves part of the story. The number of people claiming to know this kid is suspicious.
I don't know. Most are saying they were just nearby, and military bases have a lot of people with a lot of connections and a lot of turnover. I worked at a rec center where kids from Kyron Horman's school went after school and in the summer. His disappearance had a huge effect on all of us and truly hundreds of thousands of other people
Also, a childhood friend of mine's biological father is literally a serial killer. A lot of people know my friend because he's beautiful and charming and makes friends everywhere. He had the same name as his dad (he goes by a different name). I look up his dad sometimes to check for updates. I know other people do the same thing. So I'm sure it's like "how did all these people who know this guy end up on this site?" It's because we looked it up, and a lot of us only know his kids
It's very difficult to determine how many people is too many to be realistic
I used to wrap my salmon in aluminum foil and pop it in the dishwasher to steam. That poor kid suffered for sure as he was being cooked in the dishwasher. Even my shower doesn’t get that scorching hot!
I want to know was he dead before he was put in there or did he die because of being inside of there? It seems like the pathologist should of been able to tell what killed this boy. Either way i defintely think he was murdered. Maybe not premeditated but definately someone killed this boy. I really do hope some day this family gets the answers they deserve.and to his mom how are u gonna let ur husband tell u your own son can not come on a trip with u and your other children? I have 2 sons and yes it can be challenging but it will be a cold day in hell anyone tells me my kids cant take a vacation with me. Wtf?
This was an issue in the investigation. The dishwasher would provide heated water and would not allow an accurate time of death due to not knowing if they died before it ran or if the dishwasher heated the body up.
@Christobevii3 good point!
@@Christobevii3 wouldn't they find water and/or detergent in the boy's lungs? Proteins and substances might break down during the cycle, but if he was alive there had to be water in his lungs.

The simple text screenshots over dark colors and industrial noise (?) and nothing else lets the mind run wild which creates a greater sense of dread.
Thanks for the kind words!
I think it's very likely it was an accident. When I was a kid I was playing hide and seek and decided to hide in the toy bin outside. It couldn't be opened from the inside so I was trapped in there. If no one found me I easily could have died. What I suspect happened is he thought "I wonder if I can take a shower in the washing machine". Took the racks out, brought them to his room, and got in the dishwasher himself. The only thing that puzzles me is how the dishwasher would have turned on with him in it. Very sad.
Man, you just keep covering very under investigated cases and such production and hard work please make more you're doing a incredible job!
Dear Friends, this is really crazy, this Lad was murdered. No 11 yr old boy would remove his clothes and then put himself in a washing machine knowing it would burn him seriously. He was 11 yrs old and not stupid. This is clearly murder. As for the day. His cloth were off and the cloth were judt outside next to the dishwasher. He wouldn't do that himself. This is a shame abd because this happened on a military base it is pushed to the side and forgotten. 👵🙏
This is so weird, yet can't help thinking that if it _did_ happen on a military base, it wouldn't be at all surprising that the story was suppressed and no trace of it can be found today. (It's hurting my head that 2000 is 23 years ago.)
Either it was a terrible accident (the repairman took out the racks to fix the thing, then Christopher thought it might be a lark to get in it and it started up?) or foul play (other kids? the dishwasher repairman?). Wonder when the dishwasher was repaired, before or after the father came home for lunch...? What a terrible fate for that poor kid. I feel for the family.
Edit: To elaborate on above, I wonder if he thought it would be funny to climb in and hide from his dad and scare him when he got home, and somehow it accidentally started... misadventure, indeed. :(
Your channel deserves way more attention
Wow. This channel is a surprising find. It's well put together especially when considering the subscriber count. I am now subbed.
This video woke up a memory from a while back that I don't think I've entertained since it's creation. I am from Wichita Falls and still live here, and Christopher Morris's step mom was my high school chemistry teacher. I remember a classmate told me Mrs. Morris had opened up about the incident a little bit to some of the students on a day I had missed class. I half way thought he was kind of full of it because it sounded pretty incredible to me, but he seemed sincere when he was telling me about it.
Really, I don't have anything enlightening to offer overall though. Mrs. Morris still lives in town as far as I know. I just kind of wish I could have told her she was an excellent chemistry teacher, and I was really able to punch above my weight when it came to chemistry in college.
The comments are spreading
Even if it is a different Wichita (Wichita Falls) this immediately makes me think of BTK who was known for disguising himself as repairmen and/or ADT servicemen in order to gain intel and access to people’s homes. This just popped in my head after hearing Wichita so many times during this story.
Given these two places are a distance of roughly 4 hours between each other, it is however basically a straight shot according to GPS. It claims BTK was loose until 2005 and the victims reported seem to only be listed within his immediate area. Whose to say within this time he didn’t visit this area. I haven’t even finished the video yet so let’s hope my theory isn’t too short lived.

Once again man your quality and content is incredible the MOST criminally underrated TH-cam channel by far. Great video as always!
I find it hard to believe the dishwasher would work .
I can verify that this case IS real! I worked in the Tricare office (military health insurance) at Sheppard AFB, during that time. Yes this is sad but very true. I remember members of the Judge advocates office coming to the Tricare office trying to obtain all medical records of this military family, during the investigation. I recall my boss informing them we would need a search warrant, and referred to our supervisors. As best I can recall the boy was found naked in the dishwasher with his clothes folded neatly nearby and was ruled an accident.
What if the repair man came and took the shelves out from the dishwasher, and then the kid not realizing how dangerous it was hid inside of the dishwasher to play with in the repair man, closing the door behind him. The repairman, not knowing he was in there started the dishwasher, and upon realizing that the kid was inside, he panicked and left, leaving the kid inside?
Some of the comments on Reddit even claim to be from… his sister, his cousin, and even his mother.
I find those comments dubious at best.
lol they were from us
This happened down the street from my friends base housing. He was a year younger and remember it being an issue because we would drop off my friend after football practice on the base. You used to just get waived through at the gate as it was across the street from the main base and that day we couldn't drop him off. This was out of the normal until 9/11 happened.
So you say it really happened?
@@SamHain781 yes, my friend lived like a street over and knew the kid and played with him at times.
Due to the school geography relative to the base, many of the SAFB kids went to school at the base and then would go to Junior High or High School in Burkburnett. Most of the base families at the time lived in this housing which consisted of Duplexes that shared a wall and driveway. It was a very close community there due to how spousal/family support in the military is and the sporting and rec infrastructure on base.
I can think of three different people that lived within two blocks of the house he was murdered in that lived there and I went to highschool with when it happened. I see every now and then someone ask if there is any update on facebook.

I believe this is the first video form you I've watched, but it certainly won't be the last. While having multiple people provide information such as emails is admittedly suspicious, I feel as if there's very likely a group of people who grew up together, who probably send links or talked about whenever they found a post or article that reminded them of this boy. Also- them being potentially bad with technology is worth a mention.
I've been told about, and have vague recollections of horrible things happening during preschool until first grade, in the mid 2000s, and failed at finding much of anything about it online. Sometimes stuff goes down, is kept hush-hush enough, and is so poorly documented that it falls through the cracks.
My mom and aunt grew up in the same area that a super horrific and violent murder took place, to one of their peers. Lots of the people who went to school with either him or the perpetrator keep in contact to send updates and articles regarding his case.
If this was the first then you'll totally have to watch the rest 😁 Amazing content 👌🏻
What if the repair man cased the place and returned later after the dad went back to work to rob it, in the process having Christopher get in the washing machine to keep him from stopping him, whether deliberate or not the washer could’ve been started since Chris’ sister did say it couldn’t start unless it was latched. This sounds like a logical conclusion to me based on the information in the video but sadly we may never know
Pretty sure he would have been investigated. I doubt the other fingerprint was his, as his would be all over the machine and counter. The other fingerprint was someone else's.

I dont know about the rest of you, but tbis is utter bollocks to me. For one, i can open my dishwasher door at any point in the cycle. No buttons, just pull it open. Presumably you could do the same from inside, jus push it. For 2, a dishwasher isn't going to do anything with the weight of body on the arms! a laywr of hot water might come in, beyond that though, sitting on the lower arms and putting a hand on the top ones is going to stop anything happening. More believable if it was a waahing machine, able to drown you, but a dishwasher?? Nope.
No idea if this story is real or not, but my grandparents have a dishwasher from the 80s that locks from the outside and has an internal heating element separate from the hot water that works similar to the coils on a toaster. Kind of a scary machine, lol
This supposedly happened in 2000. You know when appliances would last 20+ years. Base housing is like renting a house or apartment. The dishwasher is supplied.
It all sounds too 'true-crimey'. All the blog posts and Ashley's testimony seems to be written in the same voice too, that insufferable redditor-creepypasta style.
@@iSupplanter exactly. and no info to be found online.
Dishwashers get to 160°f. At that time we had one you didn't need to latch and it had a sanitize setting. You set all the settings, pushed the door shut and it started. Then you could open it again after that. If you closed it again I believe it would restart on its own.
I don't think this is what happened but it's an accident that can happen
A case that I have always found interesting and not talked about at all except that one podcast the devil within, the murder suicide of Betty Anne Sullivan by her son Thomas Sullivan Jr, there is like no coverage on this case to the point I thought it was a fiction podcast, but there is one article from like 1988 I found.

Great video. This is the type of stuff that more people need to talk about.
I'm touched by the comments from those who were around when it happened and their need to keep his memory alive and perhaps get some justice. It's obvious the military and government covered it up from getting wider publicity, and it's just one of so many other crimes they've covered up.
To me the only way this could’ve been an accident is if this kid thought I’d be fun to see if he could take a “bath” or “shower” in the dishwasher, maybe that’s why he took his clothes off. Just my theory tho since it sounds like something I would’ve done if I was a kid lol
You know considering this happened on a military base and that not much is out there about the case could be because of the father’s ranking and or his role in the military
Since we are on the topic of dishwashers, I would like to share with everyone proper dishwasher use and why they shouldn't use soap pods.
Dishwashers use very little water. Much less than hand washed dishes. If you use a dishwasher properly, then there is no need to prewash your dishes before loading them into the dishwasher. Before you start your dishwasher, run the hot water on the faucet attached to the dishwasher and run the water that's lost its heat out of the water line, run it until hot water begins to flow.
Next, add soap to the dispensing tray, filling it about halfway. Adding too much soap will leave a residue on your dishes. Be sure to add extra soap directly into the dishwasher, or sometimes the dispensing tray will have a concaved indent next to it. This is where you add the soap for the first cycle. dishwashers run two stages. It is important to have soap in the machine during both phases. First, the pre-wash, which lasts about 15 minutes. Your dishwasher will drain and then start the main wash. The dispensing tray opens during the main wash.
Hot water is WAY more effective for cleaning than cold. This is why it's important to run your faucet before you start your washer. If you follow this guide, I guarantee your dishes will be clean, and you will never need to pre-wash again.
Using pods only allows soap to be in use during the main wash. This goes against, fundamentally, how a dishwasher functions. Follow these steps and let your dishwasher do all the work!
Great job of putting all the posts together and the presentation.
Thank you for making videos on this kind of stuff, all my fave TH-camrs have gone awol recently so this is nice
Wow i was just thinking of this case the other day and when i clicked on the video i was like i hope this is about Christopher Aaron Morris.
You should look up Colonel Philip Shue mysterious death which also takes place in Texas it’s an odd one like this one.
One thing here, there's a lot of pretty crazy things that even still happen that might have an initial article or something about it, and poof you never hear about it again. Stuff that happened in those times? Theres so much from the 80s-early 00s that happened that are just wiped. Honestly
I really don't know how to stress this because of the nature of exactly what we're talking about. But I've been somewhat paying attention for a pretty long time and I've known a lot of people and a lot of pretty wild people and personally know of things that happened and you just heard almost nothing or nothing at all about it. And then all the things that you'd hear about without much explanation with the promise of a follow up, that never happens
The af likes to bury shit. An af captain on a dui killed my best friend, who was army lower enlisted, fled the scene, and never saw jail time.
I don't understand why deaths and incidents that happen on military bases don't get reported on in the media.
What is the point of keeping it hush hush.
I've heard of several child deaths from incidents only through word of mouth, since it happened on military bases.
It's just so bizarre to me.
Death was out for that boy. If only his stepfather allowed him to be with his Mom. If only the repairman didn’t fix the dishwasher. If only… that’s all I got.
So creepy. Great mystery.
Now this opens up another rabbit hole. 💯 could we please have a part 2 if possible please! 👍😝✌️ Ty
Excellent production and editing styles! I immediately subscribed!
Thanks for being here!
@@pandoxvideos over here making it this easy and thanking me?? 😂😂 okay. 🙏
This makes total sense to me, even the weird posts which are probably ppl who believe the father is guilty, and there’s no evidence supporting this so it could be a way to push the narrative and make it seem like it’s a natural push to find answers. It could be a natural push as well but ppl are deranged and believe they’re investigators and do weird things to push their opinions on these matters. For instance the person that would “bet their life” that it’s a relative, they use things to make their opinion or view of the case look more likely or like evidence when the statistics can just as easily be used to show it’s not always the case. Idk if that person is deranged or just had a thought they shared but the point remains the same. It’s not evidence and our feelings or opinions are simply that and there are consequences to them, the fact they hurt other ppl shouldn’t make it ok. We don’t know what happened.. if the kid was waiting for a repairman and a person showed up to rob the house, he could’ve thought the robber was there to repair the dishwasher and brought him to it. Multiple things can happen at that point. He could’ve played hide and seek. He could’ve been hiding on the father who accidentally closed it all the way. We don’t know, and it must be awful to have strangers behaving as though they care more than the family as they blame the family. It’s likely the police only had the father as a suspect finding no evidence and nowhere else to investigate. There could be things that were kept quiet in case a suspect is developed who shouldn’t know details. Or bc it occurred on a military base, whether suppressed or happening due to multiple investigative groups not having cohesion. It’s a shame it wasn’t solved, these things destroy countless lives. It’s good to shine a light on cases like this, there’s two sides to TH-cam with this stuff. There’s this channel doing a legitimate episode and shining a light, but there’s also ppl who act as tho they know what happened and blame family and get followings bc of if, which is really terrible
Paragraphs, bro.
Yay your back with another video. Your storytelling is amazing. Keep the videos coming!❤
Thank you so much!!
Also it’s not difficult to find the case online. What is difficult to find is anything about it being a murder, because it wasn’t, and that crap just comes from kids on reddit /social media.
My first thought was, was the little sister there? Were they playing? Did something go wrong? Was somebody dared to do this? I swore they said earlier that both kids were left home, so why is one child completely fine?
And this is why i subbed to your channel.
Thank you good sir😊
Thanks for being here!
great audio mix, although some of the stock video clips could have been selected better. subscribed!
to be honest the bumper made the ad pretty enjoyable
I dont understand why the only fingerprints that the preliminary forensic results shown are the the ones of the family... where are the ones from the repair guy?
McAlester, Ok is 30 min from my home. I wonder what ties they had to the area and why I never heard this story?
Our dads side of the family is from McAlister
Dude you make the only actually creepy videos on TH-cam. Nice man
Thank you for the kind words!
I cant even describe how much i love this video, one of the best documentaries!
Thank you for watching!
I'm flippin starving!! Where r my dang poTato wedgies??
Ya''ll dont care!!!!
GGrrrrrrrr
Great work as always!!
Thank you!
Early 2000s isnt "internet infancy" there would be archives of it
bro did not listen to the context of that statement
As someone who’s sister is in the navy recently something happened and they chalk it up to suicides and tell different stories from different people on the base. My sister was with him the day prior before he “jumped” out of one of the apartments
Some of the comments on this video are almost as absurd as the posts shown in the video. The kid likely died as the result of an accident. He was probably trying to hide in the dishwasher and didn’t realize he wouldn’t be able to get the door open from the inside after closing it on himself. Many dishwashers will start the cycle when the door locks. Also, while rare, there are cases of kids hiding in washing machines and getting killed by the wash cycle turning on. I think it’s very similar to those cases. A kid that age would be smart enough to know he can’t literally put himself through the wash cycle in the dishwasher, but I highly doubt that was his intent. I think he was just trying to hide either from another child in the house while playing, or to pop out and prank someone else in the house. Unfortunately he got stuck in there.
Seriously don’t see what’s so suspicious about the comments to the post. They make perfect sense to me. Think about it. If when you were a kid there was a kid your age who you went to school with or that lived down the street etc who was found dead in such bizarre circumstances, and also for which you never got any answers you’d always be curious about it. You’d probably go searching for answers about it on the internet. You’d probably end up on a blog post talking about child deaths on military bases, which is obviously what happened for many of these people. If anything this shows the effect such events have on a young person’s psyche.
Something like this is a fairly traumatic thing that sticks with a child. Something that sticks with a child even as they grow up. Just listen to the comments about how they could no longer go anywhere and how it was basically a life altering event for them. Now factor that in to it occurring in a somewhat isolated closed off community like a military base. That just amplifies the situation even more. Then factor in how they were never given any answers and it seemed like it was just forgotten about. Stuff like that only amplifies a person’s suspicion and curiosity. It amplifies their desire for answers and resolution.
his stepmom is literally my chemistry teacher 😭
Beautiful thumbnail btw... I know the video is not about aesthetics but still. Good job!
Should've commented by now, but your content is top notchand has a really cool style that has me waiting for each new upload. Keep it up!
I’m his sister this is an interesting take on the case
Going back to the strange blog posts--- who were his sketchy bully friends who got paranoid, went underground, and decided to start babbling?
I have a hard time believing the accident theory for many of the obvious reasons already laid out in the video or mentioned in the comments, but also bc I really don’t think a kid/kids who were just messing around would have gotten naked before climbing in the dishwasher. Seems like the cops really shat the bed on this one….😒 I truly hope Christopher and his family get the justice they deserve someday.
RIP Christopher Morris 💔🪦🕊️
The cops wouldn't have handled this. It would have been the military. There is absolutely an interest in covering up something this heinous. It would be disgraceful for the military to admit something this awful had happened on a base.
Theres a lot of varying degrees of child abuse on post. I used to see kids getting "smoked" outside on post housing. Mine were heavily abused while i was deployed. So young that ill never know the full extent of what happened.
What? Jesus Christ.
I was a teenager during the infancy of the internet and this TH-cam video is the first I ever heard of this case. You can look up the father, Carl Morris, if he served in the military during that time period with the National Archive Records in St. Louis, MO with the Freedom of Information Act. They’ll only give you a basic summary the veterans’ date of service and what branch he or she served in. They won’t give you the veteran’s copy of his DD214 unless if you have their Social Security Number or Serial Number which has more info of their service such as their MOS, military schooling, what duty station they served in, if he was in the first Gulf War, Panama, or Somalia and what medals they earned.
I’m commenting while I’m at the transition point between “online” and “offline,” and so far, it sounds to me like someone misremembered a tragedy and accidentally created a hoax. Kids have definitely died by climbing into a dishwasher to see what it looks like inside while it’s running. I think the simplest explanation is that an unsupervised child got curious about how dishwashers work and accidentally died as a result… if it’s even a real death!
As for the model of dishwasher, my old apartment had a dishwasher was the kind that had a lever latch that needed to be closed to run the dishwasher. However, if you slammed the door, the latch would partially close on its own, and it would be impossible to open the door again until it was fully unlatched. There are so many ways that that basic safety mechanism can fail
This is what I was thinking also. Kids with ADHD can get curious and do things without thinking them through. If someone was coming to fix the dishwasher, I could easily see this triggering a kids curiosity. Him being nude is the only thing that throws me off but idk, kids are weird.
@@emilyritter5590 I don’t even think it’s odd that he was undressed, since the sister said the clothes were found in a pile on the floor beside the dishwasher. I really think the kid just wanted to know HOW the dishwasher functions and climbed inside willingly, not realizing the hot water would scald him and that he’d be suffocated.
And I’m speaking as someone with ADHD who has, on many occasions, definitely overridden safety mechanisms for the sole purpose of figuring out how something works
@@n3a7 oh I see. Like he went in knowing he'd get wet, but nothing else. That makes a lot of sense. Tragic for sure. This is a really good example of why sometimes it's safer to have kids be medicated. A lack of impulse control can become very dangerous, very fast.
@NicksReallyBored both you and the OP make really good points. I don't have anything to add, just wanted to say thanks for yall's input. But I'd like to know if any of the rest of the video changed OP's opinion?
Enjoyed the video. Top tier content.
Very much appreciated!
Okay the dishwasher being broken/repaired is key here -- a broken dishwasher, and then a child being found dead in said dishwasher...this is too coincidental. So either A) the repairman did it, or B) it was an accidental death. Let's look at option A: absolutely no motive, and surely the police would have immediately investigated him as a prime suspect. Plus, the fact that the newspaper articles seem to insinuate that there's no ongoing threat to the community and that it appeared like an accident. So option A doesn't hold a lot of water to me. So let's look at option B. Let's say Chris and Unknown Teen are playing at Chris's house, up to no good because there are no parents around.
Chris: "Yeah our dishwasher was broken but someone came and repaired it." (Hell, maybe repairman was even present at the house when the two boys were playing. Who knows.)
Teen: "Oh yeah? Well we should test it out and see if it's really working! I'll take the dish racks out, you get in it, haha!"
Chris gets in, Teen latches the dishwasher and starts the cycle. Problem is, once the boys realize this isn't a game any more and it's dangerous, Teen boy (who probably has no idea how to properly use a dishwasher) can't get the cycle to stop, panics, can't open the door, etc. Chris is trapped and dies, probably due to drowning.
The police investigate, they come to the devastating conclusion that this was a terrible accident, and the whole thing is swept under the rug to protect the identity of Teen, who is probably traumatized from what happened. Just a little blurb in the newspaper about supervising your children and that's it. This, imho, is the most plausible and also least sinister scenario. Teen probably fled the house in fear, leaving dad to find the dishracks on the counter and no Chris in sight...until he opened it up.
I took a chance and watched a video that the TH-cam algorithm recommended for me. Not disappointed. Your content is really rad.
Glad you found the channel!
Ah yes, nothing proves something real like an imgur screenshot of an archive that can't be traced or proved to have ever existed
