- Case 280: The Stockton Arsonist
** Content warnings: Animal cruelty **
On a hot summer’s day in 1989, a father and son travelling through Stockton, California, discover a VHS tape left by the side of a road. When they take it home and decide to watch it, they make a disturbing discovery. The tape contains footage of a house burning to the ground and was apparently filmed by the arsonist who lit the fire.
When investigators looking into the tape hit a series of dead ends, they enlist the help of popular television series Unsolved Mysteries, and the case becomes known as that of the infamous Stockton Arsonist.

This tale was also on an old 90s episode of Unsolved Mysteries
Imagine if we would’ve had smartphones back then. That vhs tape may have never been found by the dad and his son, assuming that it wasn’t left there to be found.
Who tf would sit down and watch a non labeled tape they found as a family??? Literally ANYTHING could have been on it...
But what is most likely to be on it? Home video of a barbeque or birthday party, local elementary performance, old episodes recorded off the TV, homemade porn, a husband recording his wife giving birth...
@@FrogsForBreakfast Considering the stuff they found with it, I wouldn´t have a family screening. I wouldn´t have wanted my kid to see homemade porn, or a stranger giving birth. You forgot to add animal torture, CP, human torture, etc. They are lucky it was just a creepy arson...
Even when it was "just" damage to property, a terrifying case!
I grew up watching Unsolved Mysteries. I always loved it when they paused for an update on a case. Listening to you give one was pretty cool. It may be a good series. It's amazing the cases we remember when they're brought up.
I remember this case. The footage of the arson was creepy, the guys laughing voice, it’s obvious he started that fire. Casefile never lets me down, my favorite crime podcast by far!
I love Casefile uploads early Saturday mornings. I remember this episode and I do miss Unsolved Mysteries.
Unsolved Mysteries with Robert Stack was the best. Grew up on that show in the 80s and 90s.
Who besides me hits the like button before you watch?
Excellence guaranteed.
It's the efficiency, for me. 🤷♀️
Me. I hate to see so many views and nowhere near the likes. I know out of all those views someone likes what they watched. I don't know if people forget or just don't hit the like button. But 😮for the channels sake, if you like the channel people should be a little more on top of things and don't forget to give it a like. CZcams is always giving people a hard time so I do everything I can to help the channels I like .
I've heard every file and yep, excellence every time.
I do i know it's going to be great 🎉🎉
Congrats on 100k subs! 🎊I remember seeing the arson video on Unsolved Mysteries as a kid. Creepy as hell.
Great Saturday morning once again. Thanks 🙏 to Casefile.
I remember watching an episode of this as a kid on Unsolved Mysteries. The way the person behind the camera was talking and bragging about the fire with his high voice creeped the hell out of me. Especially when he was saying "this is hell".
This is hell
Time to settle in for a Saturday morning Casefile episode 😊
Thank you CaseFiles! oxox
I remember seeing when this case first aired on Unsolved Mysteries. Over the years my husband and I have used that voice when saying things as a joke. A private joke.
Ever use that voice to creep out telemarketers?
Sucjis
Hahaha!!! I´m glad my husband and I aren´t the only ones!!! We Omar Out on each other all the time!!!
Thankyou!!
Big up CASEFILE family 😎🙏👊👍✌🇬🇧
I grew up in San Carlos /Redwood City lol I don’t remember this I would have been in my teens at the time . Interesting
Congrats on 100k !!!
Listening from the ukwales ❤
If jason has passed away, I hope at least Omar found the help he needed and is doing better
Imagine if Omar had kids and his kids watched the Unsolved Mysteries episode of the Stockton arson.
I thought the speakers on the side were eyes and that they were staring into my soul.
I lived In Stockton in 89. Graduated that year. Never heard this
Very creepy voice, great stuff Casefile. The best true crime 😁🇬🇧.
that kid sound messed up
I’ve seen this footage before. It’s very strange and obvious he set the fire and is watching it
I hit the like button at the beginning so I don’t forget to do so.
Yessss! 😊
Good old Stockton
Arrrggghhh 😮too short. What happened to the long videos??
5 out of the last 6 episodes were over an hour long, shush
Thank you❤
I clicked this so fast😂
I think I heard you....
Well, the sonic boom from your fingers breaking the sound barrier. 😜
@@peterj5106 ❤️😂
G'day
I was on a true crime tour in Austin Texas this week. I (for the first time in my adult life) heard of a new case. The Servant Girl Annihilator would be excellent to cover! It predated Jack the Ripper by 3 years
It's a very famous case. I wanted you to know because you can find a lot of podcasts that cover it. I would like Casefile to do it, too
@DEATH-THE-GOAT I even comment here without looking LoL
❤
Car bonnet? 🤔
Bonnet - Hood of a car in UK
Me I hit the like button as soon as YT alerts me.
Oh very interesting and not 🎉too long. Narrator very good.
Not interesting, not good, as length. Maybe only to you good as length because poor you can't process too much to fast.
Omar McKinley hit a Facebook page and instagram page and he looks normal. Hopefully he’s staying away from matches and lighters.
It’s hard to see how people are on the inside by looking at their outsides ….
Many of the worst serial killers are sadly both handsome and charming …
@@malina1239 they are Chameleons. Look at Bundy
@@malina1239 Not that many. Most are ordinary-looking and blend into crowds.
Damn uh my first podcast is arson cool anyway I'm going to listen to more 😌✌️
CREEPY. 😨👻👻👻👻
Yeah mate I have for many years now >8-D
Blue Bonnet = margarine, for those who may not know.
Bonnet = hood , for those who may not know.
He was serial killer in making
I prefer the longer storys
I thought this was a short video compared to most of the cases.
Don't we all?
I know youtibe isn't case file's main platform, but with Google demonitizing ALL true crime that isn't owned by their buddy buddy corporate broadcasting companies: expect a lot more shirt format and many of the true crime and DNA we hear today to disappear.
It used to be 3 weeks and then an off week. They started doing these shorter ones on the 4th week a while ago. Short is better than nothing :)
Any and all Casefile I am grateful for.
Best AI generated narrator voice in the business.
I do like the shorter run time. I find it easier to consume in a sitt9
Go then and listen idiots that repeat a case in 10 minutes and call it podcast
This sucks
You could have at least showed the tape. It was on a 1990s episode of unsolved mysteries and can be found online easily
This is run as a podcast. He doesn't include visuals. You are free to look for it yourself.
@@freeroamflock I've seen it myself. I have no need to look for it. Just giving some feedback that might make his CZcams video of a podcast more entertaining. The video adds another huge element of creepy and without it, it's just not the same.
@@David-fj5md Creepier? What's wrong with you?
@@Mewsette1 I'm not sure I understand your question.
:how much money does YT pay per 1000 subscribers ?
Stories are good BUT .. Staring at a still screen the whole time is very boring . Why not incorporate some visual,s to enhance your site . Bit YAWN !!
Why not clean your room/bathroom/house/yard while listening to this? Do something useful AND learn at the same time!! Your grandmama would be proud.
I agree 👍
It's a podcast that they also happen to upload to CZcams. CZcams is a very small percentage of their total audience
Bc its a PODCAST
It's a podcast. Made to listen and doing some productive.
