      If yr innocent, you know it and talk to the police they can twist it! If you are innocent, takes everyones advice and lawyer up your guilty, it really is scary, look at the recent case man got convicted, on death row, yet he had atleast 15 alibi' s proving he was in another state, one being a close friend who was a cop, the cop first child had been born that day, he was with the supposed killer that afternoon! Now that scares me!

Surprising they wouldnt have interviewed the gf of the security guard originally about the call length or even check the call time as being only 3 minutes long. Very basic stuff

    I had a weird experience. My friend and I went shopping one afternoon, I wore a knee length dress and grey high heeled booties and she wore shorts and sandals. As we approached the parking garage I felt someone gaining on us, I looked behind me and saw a man with a camera strapped around his neck walking very fast and looking down at the ground. He seemed in a hurry but we didn’t feel threatened. But when we got near our car he came up behind us and blocked us in between cars and the wall so we couldn’t go anywhere, and he started rapidly taking pictures my ankles and feet zooming in and getting closer and closer until he was a couple feet away then moved on to her feet and did the same. I shouted at him to stop and leave us alone and tried to find my phone in my purse but he ran off before I could could see what direction he went. It all happened so fast. It’s creepy he had pictures of our heels and feet somewhere in his possession.

He said people who lie always has a certain pause or something in their voice, and that's what it would check for. He said it's so small most people doesn't hear it. I failed it twice somehow even though I was in bed sleep when the thing happened. So, no I never believe those tests.

    Initially watching this reminded me of my days in grad school being alone in the college building late night on the weekends trying to finish video editing projects. The software is expensive. So I had to use the university computers. We didn't have guards. We would just get to the building during the late afternoon when it was open, sign in, and then stay for hours doing work while the building would get locked from the outside at night. Sometimes I'd finish really late and just walk back to my apartment at 3 a.m., not thinking much of it. I was about to say it would've been nice to have guards in our buildings, until I saw the ending. Such a heartbreaking story.

      Indeed, however it is so easy to do that in an investigation, you have to work your way through the case and at one time or another there are different suspects who end up having nothing to do with the incident. That is just life, one person the one who was injured or killed may have contact with dozens of people over a day, especially in a large campus area, and suspicion follows the clues as they become known. That's just the way it has to be done. It would be great if every criminal would leave their student ID on the body but that doesn't happen all that often.

      There were at least a couple of people who did school shootings that posted about their intentions on social media before hand. People reported the messages to the police or FBI and they didn't take it seriously. It's better to deal with a problem while it is small before it turns into a big problem.

      Yeah that was what bothered me too, i watched the first 15 minutes twice and the 2 main things that bothered me were the printer and the shoes. The backpack was found but the shoes werent? That in my mind meant that the killer moved the shoes far away but left the backpack?? Also what are the odds she lost both shoes AND socks during the struggle without the killer purposely removing them and as pointed above, moving them speficially. Also the security guards were the ones to know what the other was doing at any time and knew the area so i figured it was the security guard who had history and that the blood was from the janitor (nosebleed/cut?) which caused a mixup.

    In the history of CZcams, every other person just says the same “like this video” spiel and like 60% of the people who view it forget or just don’t bother....then here comes MrBallen, with hands down one of the best true crime/strange dark and mysterious content (delivered in story format) channels I’ve ever come across....and has me literally hitting the “like” button before he even starts talking because I’m already so stoked he posted a new video...and in the off chance one of us forgot to actually “like” it, he always manages to remind us in a completely new (and hilarious) way...bravo Sir Ballen...bravo 🙌🏻😍🤓

      I always "like" something that I've watched, that way I know I've already watched it. Especially on channels where I skip around on the videos. Or if I miss a few, I'll know which videos I still need to watch.

      @@Carmen-us1ew I do that too! I wish there was another button or some sort of "already watched" icon because some peoples videos aren't that good but not bad enough to "dislike". My favorite channels, like MrBallen, I don't hesitate, though, and this is one of the few channels I don't mind seeing the videos more than once.

    I'm sorry, this is a terrible situation! I hate that happened, and having the pic of car for motivation and drive, that's even more heartbreaking! May she R.I.P. Deepest condolences to her family. Y'all, if you see two of my comments, disregard my adamant need to binge Ballen over and over again , lol. And, sometimes, when he tells us how to hurt the like button, ( that thing really bares the brunt of it, lol), I just shake my head and laugh, like this one. Or like the one, where he says, " Go into the like buttons house, and take out all of the strings, in it's drawstring pants." It... that one struck me so funny, I cracked up! Btw, I get up at 5, instead of 6/6:30a.m. just to have time for you Mr. Ballen! Worth it. I literally take sleep from myself, lmbo! Talk about someone finding their calling..... AFTER, AND TY AGAIN, SERVING OUR COUNTRY! LOVE IT! Much much love♡♡

      Just think! She would still be alive if the concerned boyfriend hadn’t hadn’t asked a murderous security guard to check on her. Technically Kurt got her killed.

      It's pretty obvious shoes and socks don't fall of from being dragged over smooth tile and concrete and if they has been dragged over a high friction surface there would be indicators on the feet them self
