This guy is so humble, he's not even gonna act like he just hit a million subs. Lol. Congrats Mike!
Right??? I noticed right away!! Hehehe so happy for him!!!
He hit it the other day
This is why hes my absolute favorite true crime channel! Such an awesome, down to earth, normal guy
Good onya Mike
Yayyyyyyy Mike needs sponsors, and quit hitting all the skip ads so Mike gets hella money.
Someone out there right now is committing a crime that will one day land them a segment on this show.
Liar
It could be you! It could be me! IT COULD BE US. Serial killing spree?
Exactly what I was thinking..what are odds haha, when he mentioned 2010 I remembered where I was then, and then thought maybe in future I'll be like this shit happened that day in January when I was watching this.. Lol
When the judge asks why you did it.....well honestly your honor I'm just hoping my crime spree was good enough to get me an episode on That Chapter. You know of Mike? Go SUB! 🤣
......Whoa.
It is fate that his brother ran into the "new gf" on a random trip. What's that saying.. The World is So SMALL
"It's a small world."
When stuff like that happens.
Right?! One wonders how much longer that piece of sh*t would’ve continued to get away with it, had his brother not ran into her that day. Crazy.. there was definitely some sort of higher powers guiding people’s actions that day. Such a devastatingly sad case. He seemed like such a good soul..
Yet, I’ve never run into Sting. ❤️
More like Divine intervention.
The world is small... and God is great...
I can't imagine how heartbreaking it would be to think your loved one is off experiencing a once in a lifetime trip, when really they've been dead the entire time. That's crushing for me to even think about.
Truly crazy
Agreed 💯 just horrific… plus how do you know this evil excuse for a human is telling lies, his lips are moving !
Imagine emailing your child for that long, being worried sick about their mental health, then finding out you weren't even emailing them, you were emailing their murderer.
I feel so bad for his family and girlfriend.
I completely agree. The fact that he intentionally deceived them and dragged it on for so long just proves the point that this wasn’t just a guy who made a mistake. He’s an evil, heartless manipulator
I was wondering why they didn't ask for a phone call.
@@mrt445 My mom went through a dilemma when I first moved out. I was going through a difficult time and she was terrified of being too pushy. I think they were afraid of him distancing himself.
@@reizak8966 good point, but here we mean further distancing... he was many months and many miles distant
Spoiler!!! 😅😅
I wonder if Mike is ever gonna find his way out of that black void.
He's in the Televoid with Brutalmoose.
Have you seen his earlier shows? Go back a few years! You will get a kick out of the outfits!!
You read my mind. was just thinking the same thing.
Out of the black void...or into a new shirt? :-)
He’s being held hostage by the real owner of That Chapter, he’s forced to record the voice overs in order to save the lives of his family. It will all be revealed in a video, the real owner is learning how to say ‘Let’s give it a goo’ and ‘Tirty Tree’ in the right accent, then Mike will disappear......
I'm dying to know how Shin was able to answer the personal questions the father asked.
“I just sent him a question. I said, ‘Chris-- what lake do we live on? And what type of boat do we have?’ Just trying to confirm what I knew. And it took a while to get the emails back,” Steve Smith told “20/20.” “But he confirmed one of them. He said, ‘Yeah, we live on Kelly Lake.’ It just kind of solidified for me that he was Chris.”
Man, I was wondering how he answered the father’s questions too!
The lake happened to be the password to one of their business accounts, so my guess is that's how he knew. But I don't know how he would know the type of boat. In the 20/20 episodes, they dedicated a great deal of time talking about how Chris loved water sports so my other guess would be, the boat he used in his childhood came up in conversation with Ed Shin.
Shin could find the lake from looking up the addresses on emergency contacts. Chris's brother worked for Shin so Shin could have conned him into giving the info about the boat - "I've been thinking of buying a boat. Do you know anything about them?" or similar
Easy, he was connected with Paul. Paul is Chris's brother, I'm sure he knows more then what ppl think.
I always had to have a secret code word for my mom while texting, emailing, even once when I knocked on her door and she didn’t recognize my voice. If she ever questioned if it was me contacting her, she’d say “Code word?” And I’d say it. I never ever told anyone what the word was. I’d suggest this for everyone 🥺 Most likely you’ll never need it, but it’s there for you to have a peace of mind
What a great idea!
Your mom had a brilliant rule to live by. All moms should follow suit.
I do this with my teenage son. Thankfully we haven't needed to use it
So what's the code word ?
My code word for my mom is hey mom its me. Works every time
it's always so upsetting when the body isn't found and the murderer won't help. really blows that "nice guy, accident gone wrong" bs out the water.
He can’t tell them where the body is. He’s still claiming he’s innocent and probably has a appeals pending and if he says where the body is he know it will blow his the line of BS right out of the water
@@neneshubby he said he killed him.
Well as long as you don't call EMS after an accident there is no nice guy claim to begin with.
@@elavke5441 it does help his appeal, but if he helps find the body, they will never give him any chance to appeal.. too bad. The family should never leave him alone till he admits where the body is.
@@elavke5441 he says it was an accident. The body would say otherwise.
So Chris and Ed were close enough that Ed knew the answers to the personal questions Chris's dad asked "Chris" to determine his identity. That adds a layer of sadness to the story. Chris must have trusted Ed a lot.
Ed probably hired a PI to find the information about Chris in advance to the murder
Nah, you guys are overthinking it, the guy knew his brother...in fact if I heard it right he was his boss? If so then he likely casually dig for info from him for any questions he didn’t know.
Omg I just asked that question haha...
I was thinking maybe Chris had a journal somewhere that Ed studied knowing he would be emailing his family idk.
Or he had him at gunpoint or smth
why do they think killing someone is going to make their problems disappear?
Sometimes it does work, i bet
i mean in the cases we don't hear about it kinda does aye ?
They don’t think is the problem just a bunch of punks with no brain
every year over 50 million women kill their own unborn children with the same mindset. Ask them!
It would have worked for him if he'd have put as much effort in to cleaning the office as he did in killing the poor guy and disappearing his body
Honestly, i just wanna know how ed answered the personal questions
He studied and planned it very well. He kept emails going for months.
I was also waiting to hear that answer.
Ed knew the lake answer, but not the other (the boats name), so he just ignored it. He knew the answer because Chris had told him about the lake many times, it was important place for Chris. Not the best security question, but managed to convince the family for a while. Sad story.
@@janemiettinen5176 I mean the family should have contacted the new "girlfriend" as well. Who just goes hopping places without notifying family. When I travel I always call to give updates. It only takes like a minute or two.
@@benj3911 there was no new gf. Ed made that up.
How crazy is it that the playboy playmate was in the same place as the brother. That was a detail that Ed didn't even need to add.
i really feel like it was fate like what are the fucking chances. lol.
Hearing him say those things about Chris while he's on the stand about it being self defense knowing that Chris can't defend himself is making my blood boil..
Yeah me too. What a scumbag
Some places have a law that says you have to be allowed to face your accusers. Watch a recent documentary called "The case died with her" i think it's just about to be released or recently was. Very sad story about what happens when someone can not face their accusers.
If I were his family, I'd be beyond fuming. Omg, he's full of sh*t and even his ownself isn't buying the BS
I feel like Shin beat Chris with the wine bottle he mentioned in the first interview. There’s absolutely no reason for blood to be on the ceiling. Someone has to be swinging something that is bloody. Glad Shin was found guilty, but i really wish they could find Chris’s body.
while Chris was very drunk or sleeping
Shin put zero effort into selling his story. He’s just like “yeah, so like, I grabbed him by the arm I guess and threw him like you know, and then he took a few steps and then he fell. On some bullets. And then his head like popped off. And then Russians walked in”
Yeah I can't believe it only took the jury an hour lol.
So true! I heard that, too…his word usage showed massive deception (you don’t say “I think…” when you are stating facts). Glad the jury saw through it and rendered the correct verdict!
Some people are out here making millions, gambling, and committing murder, and I’m working a 9-5 from home, reading books, and playing the Sims.
I mean, I'd take a bit of column A and column B if you ask me.
I love the Sims! No one I know likes it, everyone always says it's boring
To be fair, neither of those men seem like particularly nice people. Money seems to ruin people.
@@lara_young To be fair, money only ruins those destined to be ruined.
@@lara_young I don't know if it ruins people but I know it sure as hell changes them .
Chris Smith's friends: Know the name of a boat and lake from his childhood.
*My friends: Would probably blank on my birthday and middle name* 😂
idk if i had a friend with a boat i might remember if it was nice enough to be one that's named lmaooo
I'd remember your middle name King
So wait, how did Ed get the answer? I was thinking he kept Chris alive temporarily.
@@vacay_bliss
That is my biggest issue with the story as well… Mike never told us how Ed knew the answers to those personal questions. I totally thought that Chris was being kept hostage because the answers were accurate.
The other issue I have with the story is whatever happened to our right to a fair and speedy trial in this country?? Mike stated that Ed’s trial didn’t begin until _SEVEN YEARS_ after he was initially arrested for the crime. What in the hell?!
Apparently, Chris talked about the lake and the boat. His da shoulda asked tougher questions; ``what was your favorite toy,'' ``what age did you complete potty training . . .''
Glad the jury saw through his bullshit lies. Pisses me off to no end that he won’t just tell them where Chris’s body is. He’s already in prison for life. The least he could do if he had any remorse (like he says he does) is give the family that closure they need. I feel so bad for Chris’s parents. They must be absolutely devastated 😔
So sad for his family and girl friend. He was a handsome young guy with his life ahead of him. Rest In Peace.
That should have been the BIG Red Flag, when he broke up with the love of his life by email... that's when it should have been investigated!!!!
I do know who's emailing me, he's an African Prince and he wants to share his fortune with me.
Lucky you.
When my dad was still fairly new to the internet, he received an email from a longtime client, saying that she was on vacation in Egypt but had lost all her money and passport, and was being hassled by Egyptian authorities. He raced down to Western Union to send her money, and it was there that they had to explain to him that he was being scammed. But such a great heart!
@@rustinstardust2094 Thank goodness for those folks watching out for your dad...👍
As soon as you send him a small payment to gain release of his kidnapped relative....😆
cool me too but my prince is from nigeria and hes filthy rich i just had to send him 10 000 so he could pay his lawyers,im just waiting for him to email me back so i can give him my bank info and he is going to send me 20 000.imagine how lucky i am. he has very slow internet,so i should hear from anyday now!!! i just cant believe my luck he picked me!!!
I cant believe this guy took the stand without having his story straight. At some points, he sounds like he's making it up as he goes along.
someone should report the missing stand
After 7 years to think
@@KadoTheNorm yea, I didnt even think about that lol
I go months without touching this channel then go on days long sprees. I’ve been glad I had lots of unwatched episodes to help me through the winter storm here in Texas. Thanks, Mike! You made my frozen days fly by.
Same, I’m in New Zealand though. Terrible what is happening for you over there 😞
We were without power for over a week. Crazy stuff for Texas lol. I've been binging on his videos the past month. Good stuff.
Hello from Houston, Texas! We had no power to watch anything during that crazy winter storm! Jealous! Glad we made it though and Mike's voice is soothing and he's funny enough to not make this too much. I binge old episodes when I run out!!
I travel for work we sell Chick-fil-A kind like a food truck deal but I do the same thing I'm on a day three spree lol
My mother actually worked with Ed Shin leading up to his capture. Ed and Chris’s company had made some sort of deal with her place of employment at the time. I believe they met with Chris one time initially before he “started traveling”. The head boss that had agreed to the partnership was getting really impatient and wondering when the hell Chris was going to come back to continue on the work that was promised. Ed kept up the whole story at work too. My mom said Shin was very stoic and off putting. He didn’t say much, but he was stuck up and bougie, and also just kind of a fucking weirdo. Obviously things didn’t kick off until he was caught, but apparently he was actually caught when her old company was trying to expand from the US to Canada. According to her it was her boss and Shin trying to fly into Canada when they were both detained (boss had nothing to do with it, but the cops thought shin was trying to pull a legger). Edit: I guess they detained him on some other charges, but once the boss found out about the murder everyone was terrified that they’d been working with this murderer for so long with zero clue.
you've got to be a juess
@@232323C a what?
A legger!!!! Hahahhaha
Was it LG Technologies? I recently read some company was working with him until the very end and only stopped because he got caught on probation violation, not the murder itself.
@@Venvaneless I believe it was a mortgage company
Edit: Might’ve been a debt settlement company, my mother has worked all over the place apparently lol

What a trauma for the girlfriend, to be dumped by text, when you thought your guy was mad about you. I hope she's living a great life now, and has healed from the trauma of the "breakup" and from knowing (I am assuming) what actually happened to her guy.
Gotta give this guy credit. Never in a single video, (I've been here since14k subs) has he ever asked anyone, to like comment and subscribe. Gets to a million subs, doesn't even bring it up 🤣❤️ what a legend Mike is
Well he has occasionally brought up 'like it if you liked it, dislike if you didn't, and comment' but I get what you mean. He is a humble creator, but at the same time, you know he KNOWS that he's good at what he does lol.
Ive been here since 20k and I am so proud of him♥
It is so refreshing! We KNOW, truly we do know and yet all other channels I follow ask at least at the start or the end.
If my parents started grilling me with security questions because they didn't believe it was me...i'd have to find a way to call them... I mean, who answers questions like that nonchalantly and just continues the voyage? They would have taken a collect call from wherever he was on the planet just to hear his voice, i'm sure!
I'm sure, but as he was dead... 😕
Exactly mayaflynnster! The simple fact that he wasn’t calling was a major red flag!!! Anytime someone text and emails only instead of calling is a major red flag!
Wonder how he knew the answers?
@@ChangGang people write a lot of stuff on facebook. i'm sure it wasn't an instant reply. And possibly in conversation with his partner they talked about their pasts. Just some guesses :)
@@ChangGang Ed Shin is a Chinese mystic specializing in dark magic. He had access to Chris’s blood and could easily perform what they call ‘origami of the black dragon’ to commune with Chris from beyond the dead. Posing as someone else, Shin got the information from Chris who would be happy to hear another voice.
Anytime it’s “the STRANGE case” of anything, I am there ! 😅
😷 👈 👀 👉 😁
you know you have a solid intro and outro when people don't mark them with sponsor block, straight to the point and very much appreciated.
Congrats on 1 million bruv!
Mikes awesome!!!!♥
My man glad to see ya over here
I’ll show u a bruv
Go go Mike!!
Holy cannolli when did he do that????
When the family does more investigating then the police
@N M i typed out quick bruh. Just remember to capitalize when starting a new sentence.
@N M The police did not find blood after the office had been repainted. The Private Investigator who went and searched the office space was the one who found it, at that point the police had never looked there at all. The PI then alerted the local PD so they could collect the blood samples, and have them tested to confirm the blood did belong to Chris Smith. If this case was left to only the police it never would have been solved.
Sometimes, you have to do your own digging, without interfering in the police investigation of course.
@N M damn you don't have ears do you? The cops never investigated the place a private investigator did and THATS when the blood was found. Only dumb one here is you buddy.
@@bluedragon8762 he means the correct word is *than* - not "then."
I wish your videos were never ending! My anxiety is increasing as my un watched ‘give it a gew’ list is getting smaller and smaller….
My thing is, you’re already in jail forever so you may as well tell them where the body is so the family can have some closure. Why not??
I always think its a bit of ego. No one knows where they are except me. They really want me to tell. I'm never telling them. It's power and they'll never give that up.
Power and control
I guess if he tells ,it is admitting he done it..Some people never give any thought to others..I hope this eats him alive. When he is on his own in the dark,when he is sleeping,i hope that face haunts him..
My heart goes out to chris,his family,loved ones & friends,i just hope they have got the right people,love&support around them..
I just hope they get some of the answers they need..
Loosing a child is heart & soul destroying,its hard to accept..i dont think you ever accept it..
RIP fly high.
Because if they found the body theyll know Chris wasnt killed the way Shin said, to him it doesnt matter as much about being innocent or getting free, to him its "if they find the body theyll know how i killed him and i was lying." as well as if he gets a good lawyer to fight for him he could appeal, and if they dont have the body or enough evidence itll help.
if the body was dropped somewhere in the desert, I'm thinking he doesn't even remember where he left it
So sad his family will never know where his body is. That's TRULY heartbreaking. 😢
yeah that's really sad ..
@james Nas i really don't know .. i just think it's very hard for the parents .. knowing that his body will never be able to rest in peace. ⚰️
Has anyone looked in the Lake? Other than that it’s the desert in which case it’s bones.
I know serial killers tend to hold on to that kind of info but it seems somewhat pointless for Dick-Ed to not just tell them. Do you think maybe he tried to bargain with it? I’ve known families who have agreed to lesser sentences in order to get a loved one back.
I lost my Dad two years ago and my mother has his ashes in the house but refuses to tell me where she keeps them. That eats away at me so I can only imagine how his family must feel.
It’s the ultimate cruelty.
It is possible he really did hire a fixer who wouldn't know where the body was either.
@@TeamBTC17 I checked Google Earth and there's an old cemetery **EXACTLY** where his phone pinged. I would bet that Ed felt guilty enough to bury him there, and probably knowing it would be the last place someone would actually look. I can almost guarantee none of the investigators thought to look there and it would probably be hard to establish which of those graves might be new unless they have satellite images to compare.
Dude had 7 years to learn to lie and get his story straight and just didn't lol psychopath
Well what did you expect him to say instead? 2 years, 7 years, 15 years, would have made no difference....
@@KingRockets Where the body was.
makes U sound more like a psychopath
@@heyheytaytay I'm so so sorry for your simple little mind
I wondered why he didn't clean the other guys office with all that time he was alloted
It's so odd his family took so long to realize it wasn't him. Voice is proof of life for most people. Not just information about locations around him growing up. It's ever odder his dad was an ex cop. I suppose denial must be overwhelming. Its just I am 32, and If i don't answer my phone, then don't return the call instantly;y, my parents instantly assume I have died 😅
They knew how he lived and that he liked to travel a lot, so the fact that they we're getting emails from him mentioning spotty or not internet didn't send up any red flags right away.
Plus they wanted to believe he was just living life 😞
What I love about you’re style of delivery is, it feels loosely scripted but still in your own words and in real time. Love it
“Hey fam, what’s up? Definitely not dead. Peace out.”
✌✌✌✌✌✌✌
Murder bad.
@@absinthemindedJ OMG 😂😂😂😂😂
😭😭😂
"He was single like a Pringle"....
Who in the world runs with a story of "he hit his head and I just freaked out and let a giant russian man take him away" 🤦. He had months to come up with something and that's the best he could do?
😂😂😂
I am also a big Russian man. Just saying... we are big... and ...hm... russian...
True, a smaller Russian man would’ve been a lot more believable 😅
I know a few Russians that would handle that in SoCal np for the right money. It’s a crazy life down there
he actually doesn't sound like a very smart guy...
if he was actually smart he wouldn't have been 1 million in debt
also: who is the debt owed to? ... if its really such a big problem why not just declare bankruptcy and move on with ur life?
unless it's owed to the mafia... which is possible...
Poor Chris.Poor family. But Mike humanizes. even this with his sweet face and kind demeanor .Thanks for telling Chris's story Mike.
Good onya Mate! A MILLION; YOU DESERVE IT!
Dude that’s insane!!!!!!! Literally, what are the chances of The EXACT PlayBoy model is at the EXACT city, block, building, room as the brother!?!?!?! As well as an investigators office next door to 800 exchange 🤣 Holy hell that blows my mind, the Universe trying to help the family for sure. Read the signs when they show up! 😳🤯🤔
Absolutely!!! Incredible!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
That playboy model is contracted by the casino to appear at the venue and considering Shin is a gambler, he would have seen her many times and got pictures of her from websites. Still it's a bizzare idea to ghost someone!
She's working the room, looking for Johns
@@rockyBalboa6699 It was pretty stupid of him to bring the brother to see her, basically. I bet he was doing some pants-shitting if he saw the two talking.
Not even going to mention 1 million subs?! CONGRATULATIONS MIKE!!!
He may not have had 1mil when he edited this though.
Woohoo 🥳 😊
@@TheGauges420 Hate to be "that guy" but on Wednesday (? Maybe my day is incorrect) I was rewatching the last episode and noticed he had literally just reached 1mil. So you may be correct if this video was finished before the last one was posted. But he easily could have added it. My bet is he is just that humble. Most every other content creator on youtube would have brought attention to it, but Mike seems quite modest. Just another day for him.
Proud to say I'm one of the first 5,000 subs. Check out some of his very first videos. It's changed quite a bit, but they're excellent.
@@tillitsdone I think he was at 100K when I found him and I binge watched till I’d watched every video
I still go back and binge watch ones I’ve already seen sometimes
Stop blaming stuff on us. Sincerely yours, All Russians.
That part of his lie was so obvious. A mystery Russian man disposed of the body? Haha right!
@@amazingsupergirl7125 ,,, i watch the russian driving vids a lot... a russian would crash the car on the way to get rid of the body... LOL
Lmao🤣😆 🤣😆
Aww, IKR?! Why a Russian?
I want to visit Russia
As a mother I just cannot imagine! Talking to my son over email when he’s actually been dead for two years?! I hate what Ed did so much, but I wish the prosecutor would’ve knocked some years off just to find the body. I just can’t imagine not knowing where my baby is. My love to Chris’s family and friends 😢💔
I can add - when selling your business shares or partnership in it, everything goes through an attorney.
Exacty! Chris was NOT selling his share of the company...that was Ed's cover story...
"I think he hit me or something" ... "I think he took a couple of steps and that's when he fell".. Wow, highly convincing statements!
Lol I know right?! Like wtf who would believe a fight even went down like that- esp one where the other dude gets killed lol so ridic it’s comical 😂 what a moron.
I feel bad for the whole family but especially the girlfriend. You think the man that you love has just up and left you for someone else, but he was dead the whole time. That leaves deep wounds. 😢
@ HotMess Mom..you took the thought right out of my head.
I mean, that's sad. But I think it might be a lil harder for the parents, then the gf. Especially since, he "broke up" w/her & maintained contact w/parents. By the time the gf found out he was dead, she would have probably gotten over the break up for the most part. While finding out he died tragically would be horrible & shocking, she would have a bit of distance from it emotionally & might even give her a tiny bit of.. validation? Idk if that's the right word, but I mean she could feel like he *did* love her, hadn't tossed her aside w/o a second thought, didnt dump her over txt. The parents had been deceived into believing he was alive & thought on some level they were still in communication with him
Men dying in wars - women most affected.
@@XmarkedSpot No. Obviously the man was most affected. He's dead. The woman is alive.
@@BornIn1500 wooosh
It's so weird. Ed's voice sounds like a doper teenager, but he looks like a hella old man ...
yup lol
That's the perfect description of his physiognomy as a spoiled, rich kid sociopath.

Just picturing the mother scrolling through Rwandan message boards...😢
"Because it was wrong."
Are you... Are you like five years old?
Him explaining the fight sounded like he was 5 too "He uh, hit his head, really hard"
Jesus Christ, clicked this as fast as possible. My name is Chris Smith 😂. Even though it’s a common name just had to make sure it wasn’t about boring old me.
Thank God it’s not about you 😉
Guilty much? 😂
No mate you were killed off in the last one. I thought Mike told ya?
As Long as your not in Business with one of the Clone Stormtroopers from the StarWars films u should be good.

Finally 1mil. About time 😎😁💞 started following in March or April with the first Lockdown.
Woot!
One million gave it a goo
Crazy to imagine there was less than 400k subs on this channel when I found it just last year.
I just realized he actually has 1,000,000 Subscribers. I remember a year ago he was at 300,000. I'm so happy to see his channel grow. I've been watching since the Chris Watts video.
I just love you Mike! You are such a good storyteller! I have permanently added the phrase "give it a gooo" to my vocabulary lol
It is shocking how many people die for another person's greed - whether it be for a million dollars or a coupla hundred bucks.
This dude sucks at being a murderer. This has got to be the least effort from a murderer to cover their tracks. Makes the investigation work run smoothly. He didn’t even believe what he was saying.
I honestly think all the time about how Americans love true crime, cops shows, murder mysteries, crime stories are everywhere & a lot of our shows educate us on how the police process works & you would think people would be better informed but nope, they do dumb stuff all the time, like keep the murder weapon or keep a written list of things to use to process a dead body, its kind of crazy how often people screw it up.
Dumbest to me so far it Chris watts
@@Momsadventure7 joel guy jr was dumber. Dude kept a detailed notebook on the killings and didn't even bother to finish cleaning the crime scene
@@Momsadventure7 I agree with you. And not just dumb, but one of the top pointless murder's. I can never wrap my head around people killing their children and spouses when they could more easily get divorced. Shannon or however you spell her name (bless her soul), wasn't exactly larger than him or very psychically intimidating. Let's say she possibly threatened him financially or publicly, then it's just a matter of Chris being extremely cowardly and to worried about his image or how people view him when having to explain how much of a shitty husband he was to people around him. Those reasons alone make him a disgusting human being that you'd rather kill your wife AND TOTALLY innocent children just so you don't have to face real life.
Edited for a couple missing words and added a few better words to explain
@Sebastian Weagley - it's spelt Shan'nan - and i totally agree with you.👍 Chris Watts boils my piss he's such a dumb tool !
How ironic that he saw the playboy girl in Vegas? Its crazy there was something somewhere trying to help Chris.
It sounded like she was a part of Ed's entourage and that's how he ran into her.
@@rustinstardust2094 oh really? That makes sense. I assumed it was just a coincidence. But what an idiot the guy is to bring her around. He didn't even have to do that.
@@smutjunkies559 Ikr?! This guy was all kinds of messed-up.
Yeah he felt so bad that he didnt help look for the body and made up heaps of BS even in court...poor guy hopefully he gets over it in prison!!!
He won’t reveal where Chris’s body is because he knows his story is bullshit lol.
I'm Chris Smith.
@@mr.ichbins8107 I highly doubt that lol
@Frank Marano EXACTLY! 💯
@@EYExINxTHExLENS So sad.
"If chris fell, why would there be blood on the ceiling?" why do i laugh at such things
Just one reason why we all love Mike so much. He can lighten the mood some, which is nice when these kinds of things start getting too heavy, but he always manages to do it with respect , and usually at the expense of the criminal and his stupidity. Love it.
The Irish lightly deliver macabre information and imo have the darkest sense of humor as a group. Maybe I'm biased tho 💚
@@teeshirtandjeans84 my mother is irish! i definitely agree with you! i never pieced it together and realized mike was irish. but it makes sense! lol
He maybe fell on a knife, slashed his jugular, and it spurted to the ceiling?
"Ah... what else? ... Murder bad. Who knew?" Love it.
Ed Shin.
His Police interview was almost like Chris's emails.
sure give away.
I came here to say Chris Smith is just 'Christmas' with a lisp
That made me LOL and choke on my coffee.
Thanks 😂
@@JenKelly I’m giggling like an idiot over this too lmao.
🤣😂😜
@@JenKelly I'm choking on an orange...🤣
Hahah
So Ed had a ton of time to thoroughly clean the old office and he didn’t. Lol.
Thank goodness he was arrogant, lazy, stupid or some of all 3.
It's v v v v hard to erase all traces of blood invisible traces linger
Ryan Carroll yes but it’s very clear they missed some. The “black” stuff they found was dried blood. It was very visible
@@ryancarroll5488 The video said there were still dark spots visible. I get that it is hard to erase blood so that luminol can’t detect it, but apparently he didn’t even try.
@@ryancarroll5488 Except it wasn't invisible traces, Chris' family saw blood when they went to the office. Then the cops came in and used Luminol to see the full scope of it.
I can't imagine what it felt like when they realized not only Chris was dead, but that he'd been dead for over a year......
Every time he refers the the ocean as the “big drink” I wanna slap him 😂
Lesson: If you find out your partner is sketchy & want out, RUN & let your lawyer handle the whole thing.
applies to business and personal relationships. For reasons why see a dozen episodes of That Chapter
Ed sitting on the stand looking more like a witness instead of a murderer. Messed up a lot of ppl lives because he doesn't want to pay his bills. Damn shame
I watch Mike more than any other channel on TH-cam; the way he lays out the story is what keeps me coming back for more and I hope he continues for years. Mike has actually covered multiple stories I’ve seen on other programs in the past and he has highlighted evidence and specific items that were not even brought in the other programs and this is another reason that I love watching That Chapter. Keep up the great work Mike, for “Tree” hundred more years lol.
Ed was the savvy one, but he didn't disable his phone when disposing of the body in the desert?
It's not like he had expertise in getting away with murder.
the guy needed GPS to get to where he was going perhaps
Business partner’s name: Edward Shin from South Korea.
Me, a South Korean named Ed: *sweats profusely*
Who are you working with? What are your ties to this case? Are there many South Koreans with the name Ed? Is it a common name? I have my eyes on you, sir.
What’s the name of your business partner’s family’s boat?! What lake did he grow up on as a child!?ANSWER MY QUESTIONS, ED!
Plus you know all South Koreans look alike -
He didnt answer...scatchy... He is guilty of something
@@beemo1 racist
Gold TH-cam Play Button coming soon.
i hope he displays it at some point
Heck yeah! Mike deserves it
i see it coming too!
@Chell Belle well deserved
I thought that was for 1 mill, he’s already there
How did the guy know the answers to the father's questions that only Chris would have known?
When you have seen all the chapter videos and you rewatch the ones you already seen. That’s how much you love watching Mike and his crime videos. I know Mike has a life but wish he do a video every day. Lol sorry Mike wanting you to work harder
33 years old?! Edward must have been stressing about this Alibi cuz he looks 50 on the mugshot
The change in his face from the smiling guy in the pics to suddenly this sagging faced expression was incredible- looked like a different man entirely.
I can't figure out his age when he committed the murder. Was he 22 at the time of the murder then 33 when he was arrested? He looks like a different person from his first interview to his mugshot, guess the stress from murder ages you
I was thinking the same exact thing. 😂
@@terriberri87 I was thinking that too! I was also thinking how can someone at 22 can get that deep into debt!!!
No! He was tirty tree! hehe. No one like Mike. He should never change a ting.
I think the lesson to be learned here is: If you know that your bussiness partner is involved in shady activities and you want to get out of the company, never meet up alone. Always meet with people around at a place where you feel safe.
greetings from germany :-)
Or better yet report the bastard quietly and let him rot in jail.
Same goes for breaking up love relations .. lot of girls get in big problems ..so breale up in public places please ...
@@gmy33
Lot of girls get in big problems? So you probably never broke up with a girl/woman then. ;-) Otherwise you'd know that there are many crazy cunts out there who can't deal with rejection and react *very* hostile to it.
greetings from germany
@@moserfugger6363 i agree with you .. my neece 18 got killed by a boy who couldnt handle rejection .. boys in their 20s are known to step easily over lines.. its combination of testosterone ..bad regulation of emotions bad selfcontrol and nobody to teach them .. greetings from holland... the difference is crazy bitches make me laugh crazy dudes kill ..
You'd tend to trust a person you've known and worked with for years tho. Where does it end? Trust no one? That's not a happy life.
It's funny how folks will make fun of people for preparing for hard times when things are good and then proceed to cry and beg for assistance when those hard times roll in.
I found your channel about two weeks ago....been binge watching daily. You by FAR , surpass most other crime story tellers!! Do an amazing job putting these videos together!!!!!
This is a terrible story. I'm so sorry for Chris' family.
I've found myself saying "I'll give it a goo" when anyone asks me to look at something at work. Thanks
Idk why this made me laugh hahaha
Hi David, I been doing that for a while now too and nobody gets it 😂
But I love it when I can use the sentence 😁
Congratulations Mike you are exceptionally talented! Your honesty and no room for bullcrap approach is refreshing. Especially in this day and age when nobody can trust the mainstream news. I’m sure the victims families are extremely grateful for your advocacy of their loved ones.
The coincidence of the model, Tiffany being in the right place at the right time.... its just... astronomically unlikely in any other type of situation.
If it weren't for her, the snowball wouldn't start rolling downhill as fast.
Ten minutes into this and I’m screaming “Trace the IP address of the emails!” at my phone...
The cops were definitely slack on this case
Yeah holy shit ... might just have been "View source..." and look at the mail-headers. Usually the client IP is logged there. Then trace it with whois... jesus..
@@blahblahblahblah2837 Like that's something new!
PING! Or would you rather finger?
Oh hey another Lost Boys fan!
This guy was a damn good liar until he had to explain how Chris' blood got all over the office when he supposedly just fell. Glad the jury saw through the jerk and put him away for good.
Hey Mike I did a weekly Tuesday night house music club in Orange County ,California back in the day along with a few friends . One night I took a smoke break outside and a guy came up to me and introduced himself as Chris. He was really down to earth and very nice and warm. We had a good conversation about music and goals. His smile never left his scruffy face including his impeccable eye contact. I found him to be incredibly charming and open. Then an Asian guy joined us profuse with sweat with a slack-jaw jeering at me as if I was an intruder. He didn't introduce himself and condescendingly tried to brush me aside as he was trying to pull Chris back into the club. MY CLUB. Chris introduced me as THE promoter and I gave Chris's "friend" Ed a "Kiss my ass" look and blew second hand smoke into his face. When this story came out.... I cried. My deep condolences to Chris's family and real friends. I truly loved the guy for just that one night and he loved me right back . I hate Ed to this day. Alex.
Love it when people still ridicule conspiracy theorists even when like half the stuff they say came true. 👍 Love it.
I never congratulated anyone for hitting 1M, I don't know what it makes one feel and i don't even care, but this guy.... Congratulations Mike!!!
Hearsay from his Discord says he’s celebrating by splurging on hookers (tree to be exact) and ketamine tonight...well deserved
I honestly can’t wait for these videos. Well done on the 1 million subs 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you!!
He hit a milli? Whoooo!
Saved my evening as well once again
Good grief that arrest picture of Ed Shin! Looked like he sat on a cactus or something.
The question is, how did Ed Shin answer the "security questions" ?
“I just sent him a question. I said, ‘Chris-- what lake do we live on? And what type of boat do we have?’ Just trying to confirm what I knew. And it took a while to get the emails back,” Steve Smith told “20/20.” “But he confirmed one of them. He said, ‘Yeah, we live on Kelly Lake.’ It just kind of solidified for me that he was Chris.”
I love Mike-liners "What did we learn? Murder bad."
Please explain in detail
Of this one: I will see you soon in the next one.
He casually said “single as a Pringle” for a good chuckle.😊
Mike is what’s wrong with modern men.
Lame.
Everything Ed said on the witness stand
100% lies.
RIP Chris
@AetherDivision please respect one of the planet's finest minds
@@hand__banana l mml
Lmk mmmmm
@@snh17 indeed. Wise words.
Tbh I see a few holes in one “Him Bike’s” theory. Just doesn’t have much support backing up his claim. Just an opinion
I too hate the "Moo" but unfortunately for me im broke and worthless so i cant run away...
Fortunately, we do not have money to worry about things so not having anything, keeps us alive. As long as we can work and eat, we are good and we are blessed:))
Congrats on 1 mil!!! I wait for uploads so I can binge watch. Your show is informative, well put together and your my favorite crime commentator.
Mike, thank you for your hard work!
I little surprising that no one said "This is definitely not him" or" Call me now!"
or ask him some better questions to verify who he is.🤔
I really wish that Mike had addressed just how in the world Ed was able to accurately answer the personal questions that Chris’s father had asked him in the email.
