My beautiful son was telling me about a character in a movie that this guy was based on, and I remember you had this video on it, so I scrambled to watch it explained by my most favourite FAVOURITE true crime QUEEN, Emma Kenny 👑👑👑❤️❤️❤️💐💐💐 Thank you so so much for giving me extra information to pass on to my son!!! 🙏🙏🙏
I am so grateful for your channel Emma. Everything you cover feels completely fresh because you have insight that no other content creator includes. You are the 'go to' for intellectual in depth analysis with a personal touch and I'm sure everyone that watches you agrees.....YOU ROCK! x
Ive watched countless documentaries on Ed Kemper and others but your videos on highly covered killers always seem brand new and more in depth….love it!!
I used to love watching crime but I would always come away feeling so uneasy and that I didnt want to know the details but because you explain this with such empathy and sympathy towards the victims I am not uneasy anymore and I could listen to you all day. Great job Emma xxx
Could I just say that what you said about being a schizophrenic is in no way a reason to be a serial killer and that it is more likely they will hurt themselves is so refreshing, it’s the first time someone has showed a true understanding of schizophrenia, I have even been shut down for saying this on another true crime you tubers channel. It really upsets me how people suffering with schizophrenia are portrayed in the media, my partner is schizophrenic, takes his meds and has a wonderful life and is a beautiful human, fan now for life!! Also your videos are so different love how you go deep into different aspects of each case, thank you for such great content, sorry for writing an essay 😂 xx
Thanks Emma, you’re making life bearable with these uploads in a life currently filled with such uncertainty. I look forward to these xx I don’t own a tv so for me it’s the highlight of my week. 😘
Thank you for covering ed, I have always found him so fascinating, hes a legit genius and was so blunt about his crimes but also a very intelligent view of his crimes aswell
OMG, I have been waiting for this since the start. I really feel like we have created a community. I’m so looking forward to this premiere, I had a really good time in the live chats with everyone on Wednesday.
I was surprised to hear you say you weren’t familiar with Kemper. Thanks for looking into this one for us. The fact that he didn’t clue on that police officer that pulled him over on his way back to the apartment with the bodies shows how charismatic and smart he really was. I’ve watched all his interviews. This is strange to say but Ed reminds me of my Dad - without all the killing obviously. So I agree with you how Ed has this “warm” side about him he can really put on. Wild to think that’s the same man who put his mother’s vocal chords in the garbage disposal 🙃 Thanks again Emma! All the best! x
I'm pretty sure it was Ed's father who abandoned him at his Grandparents. Ed was with his Dad and the Dad said 'We're all going to visit the Grandparents.' But without telling Ed that he was going there to live, so when his Dad and step family left, they left Ed behind without any warning to the boy.
I love your channel so much! It's so different from the usual true crime channels, where they simply narrate the story... You do that too, but you also include a unique psychological perspective, and often manage to dig up facts about these cases which most people rarely cover! Thank you!
Emma, how do you mentally prepare for these stories. I have worked in emergency rooms and seen so much abuse in my life. I pray that after doing these episodes, you can go home and cry to someone you LOVE so dearly, to relieve the insanity of these EXPERIENCES. Eight PEOPLE were BRUTALLY MURDERED. I am against the death penalty, who or what purpose does it serve, but can a person be taught remorse for others??? I can only think of cowards, getting caught is not enough. Prison is a place for them to suffer . . . . Be well Ms Emma. Most sincere prayers and PEACE. 👍💗🙏😓🌻✝
I worked in the medical field for 20+ years & seen at least 100+ dead bodies 😪😪 some very bloody, sometimes just old age & sometimes from diseases (stomach cancer, lung cancer, pneumonia, etc) where the poor people suffer A LOT before they die… you have to turn off that part of you that is empathic, or you won’t last long at your job. Then go home & turn it back on again for your family. The hardest part- after the death is seeing the pain of the families ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹🙏🙏🙏
Ed Kemper is the scariest and most intelligent of known serial killers to me. He comes across as rather likable. Which is terrifying. I think because he was so large and very astute that he got really good at coming across as friendly. Very scary individual.
Blimey, a soothing voice narrating stories to the blind. Just shows his utter arrogance. I grew up in 70's and it did seem that it was normal life to hear about seriel killers doing what they do. Thank you Em, for literally the best, most informative, indepth, insightful crime story channel there is. It's not only the incredible research you have done, it's YOU telling it. Amazing so thank you 😊🙏
I love the way you explain it all, you're so well spoken and a brilliant story teller. I would happily watch something I'd already watched tons on, just to hear your perspective x
Great to have found out u have a channel after seeing ur expertise opinions in many documentaries. Great content and your way of delivery is just unique and fantastic … love the humour parts too ! :) Great work 👍
Hi Emma how do you get so much information even the true crime documentaries on there serial killers can't get as much as you do, I've watched everyone of your videos and was just checking your channel to make sure I'd seen them all and I couldn't believe my luck when I saw I'd missed this one its made my Saturday night. Love your work Em
I’m a huge true crime lover. I found you after binge watching Mr. Ballen and That Chapter. I’ve watched every one of their episodes and now I’m binge watching yours! You’re absolutely beautiful, intelligent, and your heart shines through in all your videos. I also adore your sarcasm! 😂
Really loving your videos (I subscribed yesterday). Just one little thing, the 2 pictures that are shown at 1.17 onwards - the left hand side one is Cameron Britton who played Kemper in Mindhunter. Which is how I became obsessed, fascinated and horrified by Kemper.
Today was my lazy day Emma, i slept in much too late and missed the premiere! Damnit! I'm here now! I love your cute high top ponies, see all of that beautiful face! I've watched alot of things on Ed Kemper... I couldn't believe he was allowed out after killing his grandparents! Imagine, had he been put in prison for the rest of his life, all those people would still be alive, or have died some other way, but not by Ed Kemper's hand! Idc how many times I've watched something about a certain killer, I have to hear your way of telling it. I love the detail you give, the real emotion you exhibit. I've done binged almost all your episodes! Just love ya Emma!
emma, just discovered ur channel & its a breath of fresh air. thought i knew everything about these cases but u manage to provide completely new perspectives with such complexity. ur supreme talent for compiling information & going above/beyond in storytelling results in properly informative sourcing, thank u for ur work!
I agree. Most of these are famous cases that I've known a lot about (supposedly) for decades. That bummed me out. But then I did watch them and now I can't stop... Emma really does bring a lot of new details somehow, and I adore her insights and sense of humor and delivery. She reminds me of a fun smart friend. And I relate to her views and admire her bravery during these absurd times, since 2020 when bizarro world began.
I watched many crime/murder series with you in them and I have to say I enjoy watching your videos on here, your personality shines through. It's nice to hear your actual thoughts, feelings and opinions on these murders. I find myself nodding along and agreeing with what you say. Keep doing what you're doing because you're doing a great job.
My “Fav” serial killer… I’ve watched everything I can on this man, read books… by far you do thee best verbally to explain and describe this story! Thank you Emma soooo love your content thee best out of all the True Crime I consume lol 🥰 🇨🇦
Would love your take on the 'toy box killer' David Parker Ray. I've listened to various other people cover it but would really like to hear your perspective. Especially since it involved his girlfriend and daughter at the time, who actively participated 😳
What an amazing breakdown of this killer - the best of all the crime shows that have covered this. I’ve seen all those interviews with him too and he does seem likeable but he is terrifying.
Have you ever seen the Biography interview with Joel Rifkin ? That's another one that makes you think "Well he's really articulate and friendly and funny." Then you need to give yourself a mental slap for thinking it. But he also blames himself and no one else and takes full responsibility for what he did which is almost unheard of with serial killers. Even Richard Ramirez tried to pin his killings on Satan.
Fortunately I’m not a football or have a tv licence so should be here... to talk about a despicable (but charming) serial killer... my life, right now. Thanks Emma ;)
I don't have a TV licence either and would prefer to stick needles in my eyes than watch TV! I live here on TH-cam! Pick my own content, watch when I want and most importantly, nit a slave to a TV schedule!
I know i have a strong stomach and i have watched a lot of your videos and documentaries. I have listened to a whole lot of tragic and disgusting things. But this one actually takes the biscuit!!! Wow. I found it hard to listen to in some places. But also it explains a lot of why and how he did these crimes. This one i think will stay with me for a bit. I am not shocked, i think he took this to a whole other level. Loving your videos Emma. I have followed you from the start 😁
Ok I admit that I wasn't excited about this one, because being in the states I'm really familiar with Kemper, from all of his interviews to the amazing portrayal of him on Mindhunter, but this was excellent, and definitely worth watching. Esp your insight about the overall picture generally painted of his mother. Listening to him talk about her, I've also thought..."ok yeah, but....she let you come BACK!" Anyway, well done as always 🖤
He was supposed to be a gentle giant, instead he was a monster. I can’t wait to hear Emma’s opinion on this. Especially the relationship he had with his mother. Really looking forward to this.
It was all part of his act, basically I don't think he felt any emotion but the only control he had after he was caught was to try and change how people viewed him... Hence all the 'helpful' behaviours he displayed. All fine for the police to be 'friends' with him when they're not a potential target, if they were a female student hitching a ride he'd change within the click of anyones' fingers.
Right, he is such an enigma and the dichotomies within his personality and mental processes are really interesting and bizarre and one of those cases where it's almost unbelievable that he could be such a monster and yet such a kind hearted human being that went so wrong like how did the two how are both of those able to reside within the same mind body and soul in perfect harmony almost that's what has always blown my mind because it really does seem like both parts extreme pirates of the human personality are balanced perfectly within him and the clarity of recognizing both parts of those traits within him is even more bizarre you know most people recognizing the more darker and macob side of their personality would not act on it yet she chooses to without regret or remorse and that makes it even more macabre
@@Quin_79 yes absolutely, I do wonder because of his exceptional intelligence whether the kind side of his personality would have been the dominating influence if he was not abused by his mother. Most of the victims were female, he doesn't seem to harbour as much hatred towards men which could also be a reason he was so compliant in jail, less females around to trigger that vicious side to his personality. Or possibly he simply was given the right medication to help control his emotions better. He's definitely an enigma, but don't all serial killers love to be that, how much is in his control? He's too intelligent , he'd run rings around me for sure and pretty much anyone else I can think of... Apart from Columbo lol 😂
@@marianthomas3677 Have pre-med and abnormal psych as a double major I was always drawn to those REALLY bizarre cases... Having family members that were on that list was a bonus for thesis papers as well as helping me in my own psychotherapy, neuropsychology as well😂🤣😂... And although I declined my entrance to med school to be a stay at home mom because my hubby was an active Army man, I have NEVER given up ony studies in both categories just because I love them sooo much.... Also, the inner NERD IN ME NEEDS TO BE NURISHED😝.... I Have always wondered how Ol' Ed would fare had an equally intelligent FEMALE agent OR psychologist ever sat down with him, I think a lot of his calm and respectable demeanor came from this mutual understanding between the two agents and Ed that really spearheaded understanding the psychology of men like him but they respected his level of intelligence and understood that while he may have not may have while he committed such atrocious crimes they recognized that he came from a place of such horrors and there was a level of compassion and it was not pity or sympathy but understanding that he had survived in the sense that he was a survivor unlike most if that makes sense he he wasn't a thriving in a positive aspect but nonetheless he had survived and came out of his childhood intact for lack of a better term because he was so intelligent and when you listen to him talk about the women he did kill A lot of it had boiled down to just the fact that they were so and this is nothing against the victims but in his mind how can you be so absent-minded and clueless to accept a ride from a stranger and not even question your safety and because of his IQ and what I think are some artistic traits it he felt like letting them live was doing them a disservice because it was sparing them from a life endless choices that they were going to continue to make and to him that seemed like a waste of life. So why not be done with it and save the extra oxygen at least that's how I have come to interpret his take on on the ration some of the rationale behind why he did what he did but at the same time he recognizes that this is not even an appropriate rationale nor is and acceptable thing to be considering doing and ultimately playing out and as I said before the the two dichotomies of you know the extreme ends of the personality and then you have that finite clarity of recognizing that he is capable and and completely devoid of anything when he and while he's capable of doing such atrocious things which is in stark contrast to the gentle brilliant kind compassionate Giant who knows better and that I think what would have been interesting to see is had he had a female that was able to treat him the way that two initial FBI agents and then the subsequent doctors over the years but those two agents mainly had there been two female agents who were able to connect with him like those men did I think it would have been interesting to see how he would have interacted with them under the controlled setting while being medicated and not having the appropriate means to conduct his normal operandus modi or modi operandus so that's the one thing I have always and and I have actually had dreams about it and thought that it would have been a very interesting thing to see how he would do with a female agent that treated him no differently than the male agents that he grew so fond of and you're absolutely right at the end of the day he's going to dance dance circles around the majority of anybody that is placed in the room with him and that's due to the extremely high IQ and then you take on the fact that he has that almost inhumane not inhumane but otherworldly ability to hold within his own mind body and soul the two contrasting aspects of evil and good and the clarity and the rationale and the understanding of both of those and the complex ability to balance those so evenly at least while he was incarcerated clearly when normal everyday people struggle to find just your average baseline to function in life and to be okay so to find someone like Ed Kemper who has gone above and beyond and been able to tap into it in such a dare I say intimate way is terrifying on several levels but at the same time makes you want to sit down and ask how and give him the respect and the sense that he is able to do that and and make you want to know how he's able to do that because if he is able to do that then therein lies the potential for other doctors and an agents and whatnot to potentially help people who struggle with finding that baseline and finding a balance so I babbled long enough
@@Quin_79 yeah! I mean I felt he was displaying a certain pride about little cues he would give such as looking at his watch in order to show the ladies he was in a hurry to get somewhere and that obviously meant that they felt rushed into a decision about getting into the car and if he's in a hurry to get somewhere he's less likely to be dangerous. When I watched that clip I did feel he was proud of thinking about that! I just don't get certain aspects though, like he was feigning being absolutely disgusted with himself as if he didn't have control over the murders when it happened when he clearly was in a sound state of mind to be performing cues like the watch "trick" highly organised. It really does make me think that the compassion is an act as he remembers details very vividly so that discounts any theory of another personality coming forward also. I just don't see the shame that he should have if he's truly compassionate and also he's so compliant?! Where's all that anger gone?!
I am just now starting to watch today’s show. I can’t wait to hear your input. Ed Kemper is truly one of the most interesting serial killers I’ve read about to date!
Watching all your content over the last month , since I have discovered you , really makes me want to go back to school and get a good education and do what you do !! Your very intelligent and inspiring ❤
I am a addict to true crime, I’ve seen most of the stories you cover before but you always add further info and details that I never knew (even if I’ve seen five other peoples videos on that same person!) Ed Kemper reading bed time stories 😩 strangest thing I have ever heard!! Gives me chills! Thank you so much for your videos and thank you so much for doing them mid week too it’s the best 😁 although I’m now struggling to keep my true crime addiction away from my partner and he’s a bit scared haha xx
I researched this case years ago. I appreciate how you presented the information and the psychological aspects thoughout the story as it unfolded. Thank you for sharing your work.
Fan girling out as I have watched you for a long time. My family is very complicated...rape, murder, suicide, mental illness...very sad but your analysis has helped me understand the nature of these people. You are remarkably intelligent and articulate, so hard to measure but thank you for your content. You are a phenomenally well educated woman
Oh I love Ed Kemper - well not him, he's a serial killer - but he fascinates me for some reason. I was so excited to see this notification and can't wait to watch!
Amazingly detailed case study of the infamous Ed Kemper. Thank you Emma for all your hard work. Really enjoyed this episode. I knew a lot about Kemper... but your research is invaluable! We love you, you're awesome! :D
I love the way you explain these cases in such detail and appreciate how much time, research and work you put into each and every one. The way you tell these stories is captivating and sheds a whole new light on every case. I know you must have hundreds of requests however these are my suggestions for future episodes : Sylvia Likens (Gertrude Baniszewski), Kimberly Proctor, Jimmy Prout, Kirra Hart, Mitchelle Blair and the "Ken & Barbie" killers. I look forward to all of your future content and the fact that your adorable cat or dog sometimes make an appearance is a bonus!
New follower and fan, have been watching all your episodes back to back!! Would love for you to cover the “Snowtown murders / bodies in a barrel” that happened in South Australia in the 90s
I went directly after watching your video to watching the Ed keeper documentary on him and the videos of his interviews!! I felt compelled to due this after your m Amazing deep dive on him. OMG 😳 what an eye opener, to say the least! This man is just so out of the realm of normal as we know it! Thank you so very interesting, although it is scary to think how such people can live among us and appear so normal that they are invisible!! 🇬🇧 x
i have watched many stories on Ed Kemper and yours was by far the most informative and interesting. I learnt a few new things which was very interesting. Thank you Emma. Another great episode!
I was really looking forward to this episode and it was certainly worth it. Great explanation of his story and great analysis of his behaviour. He really is quite the case, so dangerous masked in cloak of odd normality. Thank you Emma. I really enjoy this channel. Great stuff.
I read an article that said that when he briefly lived with his father, his step-mother got out of the shower and was wrapped in a towel, he blocked her way and stared at her, he stayed there and made her feel very uncomfortable, of course, that was the last straw for his father and that's when he was made to move in with his grandparents. That story comes from his father's family and I have only read it once. After I heard that story, I saw him in a different light because it's difficult to see him in another way other than likable because I've seen his interviews and he doesn't relate like he's someone who killed people.
So many things that I had no idea about . I thought I knew the full extent of this story . Human mind is so utterly complex with regards to such things . Brain injuries , development , hormones, mental health so many things can just develop into reasons why people become this way and it is honestly terrifying , confusing yet you want to study it more . Absolutely brilliant, insightful, compassionate video as always - gosh the time you must put in xxx
Thank you for your amazing chanel. Each week I watch. The part thats missing on Ed is that his mother had a sticker on her car for the university/college. He took this and placed it on his own car which made it open to the hichhikers as a safe car to travel in. Its so sad. Thankyou and please keep them coming.
Thank you Emma, for all your True Crime episodes, watched them all and love what you do and how you present them, very engaging. Are you thinking of doing anything on Jack The Ripper, Harold Shipman, Andrei Chikatilo, Albert Fish or Gilles de Rais, would love to hear if any of these are in the works. Thank you once again and please don't stop this series, also quality t-shirts so amazing 80's and 90's rock/heavy metal band ones.
Must say I've been watching your views and professional input for a few years now great to see you on TH-cam....you'll be hitting a million subs soon....great content emma always humorous but insightful....keep them coming x
Well! I thought I knew this one inside out Emma. Yet again you told me something new. Just loving all your stuff, makes me feel so much better knowing someone else is as fascinated by these people as I am 😁 I’d love to hear your take on some of the Scottish serial killers, we’ve had a few of both sexes over the years, All of which escape me but it is 3.30am. Health and happiness to you and all the viewers 😘❤️
Just starting, but my first thought with him is this one wouldn’t have happened if not for his mother. Not only was she the core & equally responsible for what he did, but I think if he’d taken her out first the others would still be alive.
My best mouser is called Big Ed. I am so glad you took him with a grain of salt, and the theory about the cannibalism never stuck with me until you explain why you see the possibility 🤔 I'm never disappointed in the blend of personal opinion from education and thoroughly caring about perspective and research. It's an amazing gift, Ms Em thx again for sharing! 💙💙
Ed killed his grandfather 'cause Ed didn't want to live with the consequences of his grandfather being alive and knowing Ed had killed his wife. That didn't fit/ feel good in Eds' fantasy of living in a world minus his grandmother. That's why he killed his grandfather.
Great Emma! X Oh and the word ‘predilection’ (what a word!) has never been in my vocabulary, but it is now, I’m obsessed with it 😂 I have labelled everyone in my family with a predilection for Something or other, be it chocolate or Shopping etc etc. So thanks for the new word. You need to get a T-shirt with It on and wear it on a show as that word is so you 😘
Emma Emma Emma...you must watch Mindhunter as that series portrays Ed (and others) chillingly accurately. Your diligence and thoroughness is second to none! Cannot wait for the next one! Xx Big Love!
Great take on this case, Emma! I am very glad to finally hear someone question Ed's story about his mother. That particular scene before he killed her, when he says she derided him that he might want to spend the night talking now always struck me as odd. I am glad you pointed that out. It totally means that they used to have long talks - in fact, this guy seems to be extremely loquacious and I doubt he got that only after he was arrested. Plus he loves to self analyze himself to bits and I can easily suppose he did that with his mother.
from what i know he did have a lot of those talks with his mother. it would consist of him trying to understand his mother and himself, he would try desperately to communicate with her and form a relationship but it would always end with her berating him and abusing him which would as he got older escalated into fights, after their fights he would go and kill
Emma I love how deep you dive into the history of the subject, I have heard many stories of serial killers but I love to hear any new twist and your clever analysis is my twist. x
Well done Emma, as always. Theres something so soothing about your voice and accent. Big Ed is so intriguing. So deadly but also very intelligent. Probably too intelligent for the dark thoughts he had and brought to fruition. Same as Bundy.. They both could've done so much more (positive things) than what they are now known for..
A harrowing one, there is a fine line between monster and genius, how sad he wasn't kept in prison how many lives could have been saved.? Excellent analysis.
My beautiful son was telling me about a character in a movie that this guy was based on, and I remember you had this video on it, so I scrambled to watch it explained by my most favourite FAVOURITE true crime QUEEN, Emma Kenny 👑👑👑❤️❤️❤️💐💐💐
Thank you so so much for giving me extra information to pass on to my son!!! 🙏🙏🙏

Perfectly said 👌🏻. Feel exactly the same ❤️
Agreed
Shes amazing at telling them shes one of my number ones I love her
100%
Totally agree
Ohhh I'm looking forward to this one. He's such an interesting character! Did you see how well he was portrayed on Mindhunter?! Outstanding acting.
The actor they got for him was incredible!!
@@Deryn-Emily absolutely
How have i missed this! What season/episode is it?
@@Jennyfer221 if i remember correctly hes basically in all of season one
@@Jennyfer221 he's in both seasons but primarily season one.
The most interesting serial killer just because he's so articulate and self-aware.
I always felt that way, too.
Ive watched countless documentaries on Ed Kemper and others but your videos on highly covered killers always seem brand new and more in depth….love it!!
I agree…Emma doesn’t hold back
Check out the TimeSuck podcast episode on him, that thing is a beast of an overview. It’s called Timesuck for a reason lol. It’s a really good podcast
Who needs football when Emma is on 😁❤️
Brilliant! Thank you Emma for keeping it real when everything else is fake around us.
Well said! ❤️
Best comment I’ve seen!!
🎯
Not everything!
But quite alot ☺️
I used to love watching crime but I would always come away feeling so uneasy and that I didnt want to know the details but because you explain this with such empathy and sympathy towards the victims I am not uneasy anymore and I could listen to you all day. Great job Emma xxx

So happy to see you cover Ed! He might give you an interview!😁
Thanks Emma, you’re making life bearable with these uploads in a life currently filled with such uncertainty. I look forward to these xx I don’t own a tv so for me it’s the highlight of my week. 😘
Emma you have the best crime show on TH-cam. I love it thank you. This was a very disturbing case. Keep them coming xx
Thank you for covering ed, I have always found him so fascinating, hes a legit genius and was so blunt about his crimes but also a very intelligent view of his crimes aswell
OMG, I have been waiting for this since the start.
I really feel like we have created a community. I’m so looking forward to this premiere, I had a really good time in the live chats with everyone on Wednesday.
Glad I'm not the only one to feel this! 😊 it's like sitting and having a cuppa with a good friend, with good conversation!
Absolutely
I was surprised to hear you say you weren’t familiar with Kemper. Thanks for looking into this one for us. The fact that he didn’t clue on that police officer that pulled him over on his way back to the apartment with the bodies shows how charismatic and smart he really was.
I’ve watched all his interviews. This is strange to say but Ed reminds me of my Dad - without all the killing obviously. So I agree with you how Ed has this “warm” side about him he can really put on. Wild to think that’s the same man who put his mother’s vocal chords in the garbage disposal 🙃

Love that too 😂
Yes especially when she disagrees with herself or is 'conflicted' either way you're right
Emma, how do you mentally prepare for these stories. I have worked in emergency rooms and seen so much abuse in my life. I pray that after doing these episodes, you can go home and cry to someone you LOVE so dearly, to relieve the insanity of these EXPERIENCES. Eight PEOPLE were BRUTALLY MURDERED. I am against the death penalty, who or what purpose does it serve, but can a person be taught remorse for others??? I can only think of cowards, getting caught is not enough. Prison is a place for them to suffer . . . . Be well Ms Emma. Most sincere prayers and PEACE. 👍💗🙏😓🌻✝

Really loving your videos (I subscribed yesterday). Just one little thing, the 2 pictures that are shown at 1.17 onwards - the left hand side one is Cameron Britton who played Kemper in Mindhunter. Which is how I became obsessed, fascinated and horrified by Kemper.
Today was my lazy day Emma, i slept in much too late and missed the premiere! Damnit! I'm here now! I love your cute high top ponies, see all of that beautiful face!
I've watched alot of things on Ed Kemper... I couldn't believe he was allowed out after killing his grandparents! Imagine, had he been put in prison for the rest of his life, all those people would still be alive, or have died some other way, but not by Ed Kemper's hand!
Idc how many times I've watched something about a certain killer, I have to hear your way of telling it. I love the detail you give, the real emotion you exhibit. I've done binged almost all your episodes! Just love ya Emma!
Only just found you after watching a number of crime TH-camrs for a while.. Safe to say you are now my favourite 👌🏼 Brilliant work Em 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🖤🖤🖤
emma, just discovered ur channel & its a breath of fresh air. thought i knew everything about these cases but u manage to provide completely new perspectives with such complexity. ur supreme talent for compiling information & going above/beyond in storytelling results in properly informative sourcing, thank u for ur work!
Gosh, that’s so heart warming. Thankyou so much. It really matters to me to make content people enjoy. Em xx
I agree. Most of these are famous cases that I've known a lot about (supposedly) for decades. That bummed me out. But then I did watch them and now I can't stop... Emma really does bring a lot of new details somehow, and I adore her insights and sense of humor and delivery. She reminds me of a fun smart friend. And I relate to her views and admire her bravery during these absurd times, since 2020 when bizarro world began.
I watched many crime/murder series with you in them and I have to say I enjoy watching your videos on here, your personality shines through. It's nice to hear your actual thoughts, feelings and opinions on these murders. I find myself nodding along and agreeing with what you say. Keep doing what you're doing because you're doing a great job.
Thank you for another great video Emma. I could listen to you all day!
My “Fav” serial killer… I’ve watched everything I can on this man, read books… by far you do thee best verbally to explain and describe this story! Thank you Emma soooo love your content thee best out of all the True Crime I consume lol 🥰 🇨🇦
Would love your take on the 'toy box killer' David Parker Ray. I've listened to various other people cover it but would really like to hear your perspective. Especially since it involved his girlfriend and daughter at the time, who actively participated 😳
He was sooo twisted!! Id love to see her do him also!😬
The audio tape he played to his victims was absolutely horrific. I wish I could go back and not listen to it. Definitely one of the worlds most evil
@@toniferrier1928 Peter scully is the worst
@@toniferrier1928 gave me nightmares! Just terrifying.
What an amazing breakdown of this killer - the best of all the crime shows that have covered this. I’ve seen all those interviews with him too and he does seem likeable but he is terrifying.
Have you ever seen the Biography interview with Joel Rifkin ? That's another one that makes you think "Well he's really articulate and friendly and funny." Then you need to give yourself a mental slap for thinking it. But he also blames himself and no one else and takes full responsibility for what he did which is almost unheard of with serial killers. Even Richard Ramirez tried to pin his killings on Satan.
Fortunately I’m not a football or have a tv licence so should be here... to talk about a despicable (but charming) serial killer... my life, right now. Thanks Emma ;)
You're not not a football ? Hope not or that would be really weird
I don't have a TV licence either and would prefer to stick needles in my eyes than watch TV! I live here on TH-cam! Pick my own content, watch when I want and most importantly, nit a slave to a TV schedule!
@YouLubeMe no you don't. You need a TV licence to watch live terrestrial TV. Look it up! The information isn't hard to find!
@@Alessiasbackheal I apologise. I can confirm that I am NOT a football.
Loving your content Emma could u maybe do one on the golden state killer or Airel Castro I’d love to hear your take on these cases .
Me too!
Seen the film on this case shocking 😢
I know i have a strong stomach and i have watched a lot of your videos and documentaries. I have listened to a whole lot of tragic and disgusting things. But this one actually takes the biscuit!!! Wow. I found it hard to listen to in some places. But also it explains a lot of why and how he did these crimes. This one i think will stay with me for a bit. I am not shocked, i think he took this to a whole other level. Loving your videos Emma. I have followed you from the start 😁
Love watching you Emma! Always look forward to Wednesdays and Sundays! You're awesome.
Ok I admit that I wasn't excited about this one, because being in the states I'm really familiar with Kemper, from all of his interviews to the amazing portrayal of him on Mindhunter, but this was excellent, and definitely worth watching. Esp your insight about the overall picture generally painted of his mother. Listening to him talk about her, I've also thought..."ok yeah, but....she let you come BACK!" Anyway, well done as always 🖤
Exactly.
He was supposed to be a gentle giant, instead he was a monster. I can’t wait to hear Emma’s opinion on this. Especially the relationship he had with his mother. Really looking forward to this.
It was all part of his act, basically I don't think he felt any emotion but the only control he had after he was caught was to try and change how people viewed him... Hence all the 'helpful' behaviours he displayed. All fine for the police to be 'friends' with him when they're not a potential target, if they were a female student hitching a ride he'd change within the click of anyones' fingers.
Right, he is such an enigma and the dichotomies within his personality and mental processes are really interesting and bizarre and one of those cases where it's almost unbelievable that he could be such a monster and yet such a kind hearted human being that went so wrong like how did the two how are both of those able to reside within the same mind body and soul in perfect harmony almost that's what has always blown my mind because it really does seem like both parts extreme pirates of the human personality are balanced perfectly within him and the clarity of recognizing both parts of those traits within him is even more bizarre you know most people recognizing the more darker and macob side of their personality would not act on it yet she chooses to without regret or remorse and that makes it even more macabre
@@Quin_79 yes absolutely, I do wonder because of his exceptional intelligence whether the kind side of his personality would have been the dominating influence if he was not abused by his mother. Most of the victims were female, he doesn't seem to harbour as much hatred towards men which could also be a reason he was so compliant in jail, less females around to trigger that vicious side to his personality. Or possibly he simply was given the right medication to help control his emotions better. He's definitely an enigma, but don't all serial killers love to be that, how much is in his control? He's too intelligent , he'd run rings around me for sure and pretty much anyone else I can think of... Apart from Columbo lol 😂
@@marianthomas3677 Have pre-med and abnormal psych as a double major I was always drawn to those REALLY bizarre cases... Having family members that were on that list was a bonus for thesis papers as well as helping me in my own psychotherapy, neuropsychology as well😂🤣😂... And although I declined my entrance to med school to be a stay at home mom because my hubby was an active Army man, I have NEVER given up ony studies in both categories just because I love them sooo much.... Also, the inner NERD IN ME NEEDS TO BE NURISHED😝.... I Have always wondered how Ol' Ed would fare had an equally intelligent FEMALE agent OR psychologist ever sat down with him, I think a lot of his calm and respectable demeanor came from this mutual understanding between the two agents and Ed that really spearheaded understanding the psychology of men like him but they respected his level of intelligence and understood that while he may have not may have while he committed such atrocious crimes they recognized that he came from a place of such horrors and there was a level of compassion and it was not pity or sympathy but understanding that he had survived in the sense that he was a survivor unlike most if that makes sense he he wasn't a thriving in a positive aspect but nonetheless he had survived and came out of his childhood intact for lack of a better term because he was so intelligent and when you listen to him talk about the women he did kill A lot of it had boiled down to just the fact that they were so and this is nothing against the victims but in his mind how can you be so absent-minded and clueless to accept a ride from a stranger and not even question your safety and because of his IQ and what I think are some artistic traits it he felt like letting them live was doing them a disservice because it was sparing them from a life endless choices that they were going to continue to make and to him that seemed like a waste of life. So why not be done with it and save the extra oxygen at least that's how I have come to interpret his take on on the ration some of the rationale behind why he did what he did but at the same time he recognizes that this is not even an appropriate rationale nor is and acceptable thing to be considering doing and ultimately playing out and as I said before the the two dichotomies of you know the extreme ends of the personality and then you have that finite clarity of recognizing that he is capable and and completely devoid of anything when he and while he's capable of doing such atrocious things which is in stark contrast to the gentle brilliant kind compassionate Giant who knows better and that I think what would have been interesting to see is had he had a female that was able to treat him the way that two initial FBI agents and then the subsequent doctors over the years but those two agents mainly had there been two female agents who were able to connect with him like those men did I think it would have been interesting to see how he would have interacted with them under the controlled setting while being medicated and not having the appropriate means to conduct his normal operandus modi or modi operandus so that's the one thing I have always and and I have actually had dreams about it and thought that it would have been a very interesting thing to see how he would do with a female agent that treated him no differently than the male agents that he grew so fond of and you're absolutely right at the end of the day he's going to dance dance circles around the majority of anybody that is placed in the room with him and that's due to the extremely high IQ and then you take on the fact that he has that almost inhumane not inhumane but otherworldly ability to hold within his own mind body and soul the two contrasting aspects of evil and good and the clarity and the rationale and the understanding of both of those and the complex ability to balance those so evenly at least while he was incarcerated clearly when normal everyday people struggle to find just your average baseline to function in life and to be okay so to find someone like Ed Kemper who has gone above and beyond and been able to tap into it in such a dare I say intimate way is terrifying on several levels but at the same time makes you want to sit down and ask how and give him the respect and the sense that he is able to do that and and make you want to know how he's able to do that because if he is able to do that then therein lies the potential for other doctors and an agents and whatnot to potentially help people who struggle with finding that baseline and finding a balance so I babbled long enough
@@Quin_79 yeah! I mean I felt he was displaying a certain pride about little cues he would give such as looking at his watch in order to show the ladies he was in a hurry to get somewhere and that obviously meant that they felt rushed into a decision about getting into the car and if he's in a hurry to get somewhere he's less likely to be dangerous. When I watched that clip I did feel he was proud of thinking about that! I just don't get certain aspects though, like he was feigning being absolutely disgusted with himself as if he didn't have control over the murders when it happened when he clearly was in a sound state of mind to be performing cues like the watch "trick" highly organised. It really does make me think that the compassion is an act as he remembers details very vividly so that discounts any theory of another personality coming forward also. I just don't see the shame that he should have if he's truly compassionate and also he's so compliant?! Where's all that anger gone?!
I am just now starting to watch today’s show. I can’t wait to hear your input. Ed Kemper is truly one of the most interesting serial killers I’ve read about to date!
Watching all your content over the last month , since I have discovered you , really makes me want to go back to school and get a good education and do what you do !! Your very intelligent and inspiring ❤
I've read so many books on him growing up.
But my god, you did such a better job on it. Thank you Emma!
I am a addict to true crime, I’ve seen most of the stories you cover before but you always add further info and details that I never knew (even if I’ve seen five other peoples videos on that same person!) Ed Kemper reading bed time stories 😩 strangest thing I have ever heard!! Gives me chills! Thank you so much for your videos and thank you so much for doing them mid week too it’s the best 😁 although I’m now struggling to keep my true crime addiction away from my partner and he’s a bit scared haha xx
I researched this case years ago. I appreciate how you presented the information and the psychological aspects thoughout the story as it unfolded. Thank you for sharing your work.
Best crime channel ever!
I‘m watching from Germany - luckily I‘ve spent my childhood in Britain, so I understand perfektly.
I found this so hard to listen to.
But you always manage to deliver these cases in an interesting and informal way.
Thank you
You are amazing! Love your story & psychology. Fascinating! All the best!
Wow, thank you so much! Wonderful to know you!
Fan girling out as I have watched you for a long time. My family is very complicated...rape, murder, suicide, mental illness...very sad but your analysis has helped me understand the nature of these people. You are remarkably intelligent and articulate, so hard to measure but thank you for your content. You are a phenomenally well educated woman
Oh I love Ed Kemper - well not him, he's a serial killer - but he fascinates me for some reason. I was so excited to see this notification and can't wait to watch!
Just seen this one and as always covered from every angle. I Learn so much from your TH-cam , your an amazing story teller .
Sunday nights are now my favourite night of the week. Thanks Emma! Xx
Sunday and Wednesdays yehhh 🥰
Amazingly detailed case study of the infamous Ed Kemper. Thank you Emma for all your hard work. Really enjoyed this episode. I knew a lot about Kemper... but your research is invaluable! We love you, you're awesome! :D
I love the way you explain these cases in such detail and appreciate how much time, research and work you put into each and every one. The way you tell these stories is captivating and sheds a whole new light on every case. I know you must have hundreds of requests however these are my suggestions for future episodes : Sylvia Likens (Gertrude Baniszewski), Kimberly Proctor, Jimmy Prout, Kirra Hart, Mitchelle Blair and the "Ken & Barbie" killers. I look forward to all of your future content and the fact that your adorable cat or dog sometimes make an appearance is a bonus!
Emma, you are both very professional and extremely down-to-earth.
So easy to listen to.
Love you and your content. 🤩
New follower and fan, have been watching all your episodes back to back!!
Would love for you to cover the “Snowtown murders / bodies in a barrel” that happened in South Australia in the 90s
Me as well 🙌🏼
I went directly after watching your video to watching the Ed keeper documentary on him and the videos of his interviews!! I felt compelled to due this after your m
Amazing deep dive on him. OMG 😳 what an eye opener, to say the least!
This man is just so out of the realm of normal as we know it!
Thank you so very interesting, although it is scary to think how such people can live among us and appear so normal that they are invisible!! 🇬🇧 x
Thank you Emma can’t wait until Wednesday
i have watched many stories on Ed Kemper and yours was by far the most informative and interesting. I learnt a few new things which was very interesting. Thank you Emma. Another great episode!
Imagine watching the football over a Sunday drop from Emma! Another amazing breakdown always appreciate your great work!!
I was really looking forward to this episode and it was certainly worth it.
Great explanation of his story and great analysis of his behaviour.
He really is quite the case, so dangerous masked in cloak of odd normality.
Thank you Emma. I really enjoy this channel. Great stuff.
I read an article that said that when he briefly lived with his father, his step-mother got out of the shower and was wrapped in a towel, he blocked her way and stared at her, he stayed there and made her feel very uncomfortable, of course, that was the last straw for his father and that's when he was made to move in with his grandparents. That story comes from his father's family and I have only read it once. After I heard that story, I saw him in a different light because it's difficult to see him in another way other than likable because I've seen his interviews and he doesn't relate like he's someone who killed people.
I would love to hear your views on Josef Fritzl and Amanda Knox.
It's Emma time!!!
I live for these!!
The part about his mom made me physically sick! How can someone do that?
just starting Video, Cannot wait for your view on Edmund! This is so good. I love your channel Emma. Your are so darn brill. You rock Girl
Another well done analysis of another Cold Blooded Killer Emma. Keep up the excellent work Emma. I look forward to a reply. Lol, Scott from Texas.
I love you always add value, and show a different light then others. Great video, thanks
Absolutely agree about the sliding door moments in these instances,they are haunting somehow.
So many things that I had no idea about . I thought I knew the full extent of this story . Human mind is so utterly complex with regards to such things . Brain injuries , development , hormones, mental health so many things can just develop into reasons why people become this way and it is honestly terrifying , confusing yet you want to study it more . Absolutely brilliant, insightful, compassionate video as always - gosh the time you must put in xxx
The long wait is over! :D this will be gooood!
Love your channel Emma. You are amazing in front of the camera. And the content is always so thorough. There are some sick people out there.
Thank you for your amazing chanel. Each week I watch. The part thats missing on Ed is that his mother had a sticker on her car for the university/college. He took this and placed it on his own car which made it open to the hichhikers as a safe car to travel in. Its so sad. Thankyou and please keep them coming.
This was soo chilling but brilliant. Thank you Emma.
Thank you Emma, for all your True Crime episodes, watched them all and love what you do and how you present them, very engaging. Are you thinking of doing anything on Jack The Ripper, Harold Shipman, Andrei Chikatilo, Albert Fish or Gilles de Rais, would love to hear if any of these are in the works. Thank you once again and please don't stop this series, also quality t-shirts so amazing 80's and 90's rock/heavy metal band ones.
Making my way through your play lists and enjoying them
Must say I've been watching your views and professional input for a few years now great to see you on TH-cam....you'll be hitting a million subs soon....great content emma always humorous but insightful....keep them coming x
Absolutely love you content and insight! Thanks Emma
emma says how it is! and she gives more insight than any of the others i watch..and i watch alot of true crime! high five EM :)
Thank you for this one, Emma. There is some things you talked about that I didn't know. I love your views on these murders. Keep going x
Subbed about 3 weeks away glad I did keep up the great work Emma
Well! I thought I knew this one inside out Emma. Yet again you told me something new. Just loving all your stuff, makes me feel so much better knowing someone else is as fascinated by these people as I am 😁 I’d love to hear your take on some of the Scottish serial killers, we’ve had a few of both sexes over the years, All of which escape me but it is 3.30am. Health and happiness to you and all the viewers 😘❤️
Thanks Emma, I find the way you explained everything very easy to follow and understand! Your voice is very soothing! Thanks again! 🙏🏻🙏🏻💕
Just starting, but my first thought with him is this one wouldn’t have happened if not for his mother. Not only was she the core & equally responsible for what he did, but I think if he’d taken her out first the others would still be alive.
Hadn't heard of this serial killer before. Such a twisted story, he is a monster. Another great episode Emma. Keep them coming!
My favourite and best of best,the king and queen of crimes you tubers,Emmy
Great video as usual! Seeing the real Ed footage the guy who played him in Mindhunter did a great job!
My best mouser is called Big Ed. I am so glad you took him with a grain of salt, and the theory about the cannibalism never stuck with me until you explain why you see the possibility 🤔 I'm never disappointed in the blend of personal opinion from education and thoroughly caring about perspective and research. It's an amazing gift, Ms Em thx again for sharing! 💙💙
Ed killed his grandfather 'cause Ed didn't want to live with the consequences of his grandfather being alive and knowing Ed had killed his wife. That didn't fit/ feel good in Eds' fantasy of living in a world minus his grandmother. That's why he killed his grandfather.
Great Emma! X
Oh and the word ‘predilection’ (what a word!) has never been in my vocabulary, but it is now, I’m obsessed with it 😂 I have labelled everyone
in my family with a predilection for
Something or other, be it chocolate or
Shopping etc etc. So thanks for the new word. You need to get a T-shirt with
It on and wear it on a show as that word is so you 😘
As always great friend. Im always glad to see you here. You add so much and I don't think you see that. Another for the books.
Ohhh catching up, fabbb Emma. Thx xo
Emma Emma Emma...you must watch Mindhunter as that series portrays Ed (and others) chillingly accurately. Your diligence and thoroughness is second to none! Cannot wait for the next one! Xx Big Love!
Great take on this case, Emma! I am very glad to finally hear someone question Ed's story about his mother. That particular scene before he killed her, when he says she derided him that he might want to spend the night talking now always struck me as odd. I am glad you pointed that out. It totally means that they used to have long talks - in fact, this guy seems to be extremely loquacious and I doubt he got that only after he was arrested. Plus he loves to self analyze himself to bits and I can easily suppose he did that with his mother.
from what i know he did have a lot of those talks with his mother. it would consist of him trying to understand his mother and himself, he would try desperately to communicate with her and form a relationship but it would always end with her berating him and abusing him which would as he got older escalated into fights, after their fights he would go and kill
Emma I love how deep you dive into the history of the subject, I have heard many stories of serial killers but I love to hear any new twist and your clever analysis is my twist. x
HI,
Emma, phew this is certainly a bizarre case, he takes things to another level as you said.
You always tell the story sooo well.
Take care x
Well done Emma, as always. Theres something so soothing about your voice and accent. Big Ed is so intriguing. So deadly but also very intelligent. Probably too intelligent for the dark thoughts he had and brought to fruition. Same as Bundy.. They both could've done so much more (positive things) than what they are now known for..
A harrowing one, there is a fine line between monster and genius, how sad he wasn't kept in prison how many lives could have been saved.? Excellent analysis.
As always, AMAZING!! Love your storytelling skills, love your point of view and the eloquence in your explaination! I am in awe!! Thanks Emma!!
Thanks Emma for this, Ed Kemper, I'm gonna enjoy this. ❤️❤️
