- In small town Oklahoma, two girls were found massacred on the side of the road. An unbelievable tragedy, and what appeared to have been a random shooting would remain unsolved for years. That is, until in the next town over, a young woman disappeared. Her case would be solved quickly, and would lead to the discovery of a vengeful young man.

I think it's safe to say all of your fans including myself appreciate all you do, as we know you're a one-man show ❤️ can't believe you manage to do this all by yourself!
Edit for the stoopid people who never read his pinned post........have a look back at mike's pinned post on the same day this episode came out........ He stated himself as a "one man band" and needed to relax for a couple of days.
lol it's not my fault you guys are too up your own asses to look at his older posts.
Couldn't have said it better my friend! ☮️💟☮️
I know! I was surprised to read that as well! Some of these true crime youtubers have a whole staff doing what he does aand yet creating an inferior presentation to Mike's
@@ninachkah13 The man is just a genius hustla 😎
Yes we love you too Mike your the man🥰🥰💕💕❤️❤️❤️❤️
he’s really goated
Anyone who's capable of harming children is way beyond redemption.
And forgiveness from ANYONE!!!!!🙄
Most likely, they suffered themselves or born as a result of something genetically. I’d rather study them to prevent any further harm Vs the hate I feel stemming from these comments. Do not fear them - try to understand them - you may save your own.
Let's include non-children too, then I am d'accord with you ;-)
Also, if you think children are free of guilt in general, this is false. There are some children that have commited horrible crimes.. That's why I'd include non-children too.
I wholeheartedly agree with your opinion!!!🙏😢
Facts. And i feel that once someone harms a child, they forfeit their right to live anymore.
This guy manages to look like a completely different person in every photo and video clip. I'm surprised it wasn't more difficult to catch him, honestly.
I was thinking the same . Looks like a totally different person each time 😂
Combinations of different hairstyles, glasses, no glasses, facial hair, no facial hair and fluctuating weight makes any man look different.
I noticed that too. In one of the pictures the way he was holding his hand to his face, to me seemed a bit effeminate. So that could be why he was teased in school.
I imagine inmates will notice that and the teasing will be much more severe. We can all hope. ❤️ I'm sorry to the young girls and the young woman who lost their lives. Thoughts and prayers to their family and loved ones.
@@markysumm72 i find women can look remarkably different from photo to photo, where men tend to just look the same
@davidrenton I've noticed it's very dependent on facial structures right? people with lower point features or harsher ones are usually not as successful at disguises or are seen through them, moreso than someone with softer or higher facial features
You can't get much more innocent than two kids walking down a country road on a hot summer's day.
RIP Skyla and Taylor ❤
YOU CAN BE CARELESS
Exactly what I was thinking. :( :(
Calm down, they were 11 and 13 doing normal 11- and 13-year-old things. Unless you meant the murderer being careless lol
Imagine being the grandfather finding their bodies. Truly heartbreaking
Everything about this broke my heart: the grandfather finding them, the grandmother's call to 911, the fathers so absolutely devastated ... god how awful.
It was a particularly difficult situation to learn about 💔
That 911 operator seemed like she was napping, got interupted.
@@robingarrett3171 911 operators are trained to remain calm during calls like this.
@@robingarrett3171 a Bourbon nap
Yeah, that 911 call made me cry a little 😢
That 911 call is horrendous. The devastation, shock and panic in her voice, just gives me the chills. So so sad. RIP. Hope they are free and happy in heaven together.
His...it was her grandfather.
@@Blitzkrieg1976
I believe whomever made the 911 call was a woman. Mike never states in the story that it was the grandfather who called 911, he just said that he was the one who went out looking for and found the girls.
Yes, that broke my heart immediately for them.
@@Blitzkrieg1976 I'm assuming it was the wife, sounds like a woman's voice. The grandfather went out searching and found the girls dead in the ditch. I'm guessing he returned home, told his wife and she phoned 9-1-1.
@@Blitzkrieg1976 No the call was made by the grandmother. Its clear as fucking day.
Hearing their fathers talk to the news cameras broke my heart. I'm not much of a crier, but when Taylor's father said he didn't have a reason to smile anymore and described it as being "hell," that had the tears pouring out of my eyes.
"No reason to smile " is how I felt for 5 years when my dad died. He was in his 80s so I can't imagine how the girls families are coping for the rest of their lives :(
get a hold of yourself woman
That grandmother’s phone call was one of the most heart wrenching things I ever heard
"I can't find a reason to smile anymore."
My heart goes out to these families. I hope they find peace and some semblance of happiness again. I'm so sorry for their loss. Thanks for sharing their stories, Mike. They deserve to be remembered.
That, and the 911 call got me!! But his face said it all... I lost my little brother 5 yrs ago.. I know how hard it can be to lose someone you love!!
@@melissasabie722 I’m so sorry. My condolences ❤️🥺
I know appearances don't matter, but they were beautiful little girls. My heart hurts.
@@melissasabie722 I lost my sister 8 years ago, it's crazy that it hurts so much this long after... I'm so sorry, I'd love to give you a hug.
That shit hits home
He had a grudge with a dealer so he should have confronted him but, of course, it's easier to take revenge on two innocent little girls who posed no threats whatsoever. What a coward bastard.
Unfortunately that happens quite often and it’s sickening
OMG you labeled him sooooo perfect!!!! He’s disgusting!!!! I seriously don’t understand how there are people like this out in the world!! It’s sick!!! And is it me or is it getting A LOT worse!!!????!
@@katz0625 think it’s partly getting worse, but also due to DNA and new technology we are uncovering & solving more crimes in general
@@zslis4348 That someone goes after a dealers kids?
@@katz0625 : For sure getting worse out there, all these criminals are out on bail within a day or two of violent crimes these days its disgusting what liberal DA's have done to the justice system.
That grandfather aged 20 years in 2. That poor man breaks my heart cuz he lost everything when his granddaughter was killed. I just wanna give him a huge hug cuz I've been there with that pain of losing a child. You never get over it. I hope he's doing ok..... 💔
Him calling those two girls “monsters” makes me sick. They did nothing to him, and he thinks he has the right to take their lives away? Who’s the monster here, Kevin?
He was trying to go for an insanity plead. The reality is even worse, he murdered two children in cold blood for revenge over the father of one of them selling the drugs Kevin's brother ended up ODing on.
He ended the lives of two innocent children who had nothing to do with any of it for revenge.
Even the mob leaves the wives and children alone.
Revenge is always ugly.
@@bast4rdlyreaper revenge doesn’t have to be ugly. If I had to walk the earth with a pathetic name like “Kevin Sweat” though, who knows what kind of crazy shit would happen. I’d probably just kill myself.
Sociopathic or Psychopathic Narcissists ALWAYS put the blame on others. They can never accept culpability.
Poor little kids and their families. That grandmother's call was gutwrenching to hear.
Excruciating to hear, My God. That poor woman and those poor babies!
@Harlo Jgdg *their And I don’t recall hearing that these 11- and 13-year-olds were involved in drugs. Please stop victim-blaming - especially when the victims are just innocent little girls.
@Harlo Jgdg Yeah, you're a fcking problem. You don't victim blame when two kids were murdered.
@Harlo Jgdg did you listen at all? The drug stuff was pure speculation by civilians.
Such an awful thing to see
The grandmother of the victim, the pain in her voice was palpable... So sad man..
The fathers too
That broke me.
not really
I think that was the grandfather?
When Taylor's dad spoke, I welled up. I hope he has found some sort of peace.
That 911 call got me teared up omgosh
Man thats insane to say the least. If that was true about his brother why take it out on innocent children? Thats plain evil
I'd say he abused them and killed them after.
Mike: I most appreciate how you’re able to share these horrible stories in a way that preserves the humanity of the victims. You have a gift.
I also think this is a very good point you point out. Unfortunately crime is a staple of human civilisation in one form or another. There is enough doom & gloom propagation, so it's good to keep a subtle distance and treat it as what it is - sometimes even with an ebon of humour.
And the little levity in these are *never* disrespectful.
He's very good at what he does. ❤
Does he tho?
I agree 🕊🌱🕊
I went on a date with a nice fellow a few months ago. On about the 3rd/4th date we discussed CZcams preferences. I mentioned my favorite CZcamsr posts Tues and Friday. He immediately said - THAT CHAPTER? That’s when I knew. We sat there for like 5 straight minutes talking about how well Mike presents the story, interrogations, evidence, all of it. We’ve both cycled back through old videos to continue enjoying. Mike we appreciate you and your work. You’re truly amazing.
ok i have to have an update??
Please tell me yall are getting married.
Aww
Well, Mike better be invited to the wedding. Even if it's just over zoom😅
That's super cool.
I actually know Kevin. I know his family as well. Kevin was always odd. His brother Brian was my best friend. He died of an overdose in 2007. Kevin lied. He didnt do this as revenge. He wasnt even close with his brother. He did this just because he wanted to. His own family made sure to keep him away from me and my children...his brother warned me of him years before this happened.
I believe you - he had guns on his vehicle - saw 2 girls walking and just did it for the sheer sick pleasure of it
Wrong. I actually know Kevin and he changed drastically after his brother's death. Not only did I see it myself, but others have openly come forward and said it themselves. It pretty much defined him. It took over his life so much he became a monster.
“Kevin went from a quirky young man to starting to become isolated, “said Faith Phillips, author of "Now I Lay Me Down." “He was brokenhearted by his brother’s death.”
I don't know why you want to lie like this on the internet but you are almost worse than what Kevin became
Drabs, circumstances don't make people murders. They either are or they are not. They choose to feed it. Make no mistake it's always a choice.
The grandma’s 911 call just broke me 💔
chills. the horror that must be, unimaginable!
Agreed. The dads “there’s no reason left in my life to smile” was also hard 😢
“I can’t find a reason to smile” omg this is heartbreaking.
He might be the saddest man I've ever seen.
the unexpected chills and the teary eyes that followed almost immediately after the 911 call. it's haunting to hear the sheer terror and heartbreak in the grandmother's voice
I'm from Okmulgee and knew a lot of the families/parties involved. I had only met Kevin once if memory serves correctly. Thought there was something wrong with him.
Everyone around town knew there was something wrong with him. We all expected that he'd do something awful at some point, but none of us knew he was that evil.
Ashley's best friend is a close friend of mine. She'd begged Ashley to get away from him because she really suspected there was something wrong with him and that he'd hurt Ashley. Her fears were warranted.
After the trial, we had a charity benefit for Ashley's family (I helped with set-up and ran the sound system).
It was all a horrible series of events stemming from a really evil individual.
I also doubt that Kevin killed those girls solely because of his brother. I didn't know his family well, but from what I know him and his brother weren't that close. I think he wanted to kill and that was the excuse he picked. I think he feined mental illness to try and get out of his comeuppance.
I think his Charles Manson t-shirt speaks to that.
I don’t think he killed the girls. The motive and confession seem coerced and made up. I definitely think he killed his fiancée, but I think the cops framed him for the other murders bc they were desperate to solve it.
So many people believe insanity pleas will make them free from consequences... so many people are wrong. They won't just clap irons on you, you're in the system for life, then. once you're given sentences that pertain to how you are criminally insane, you don't get out of that. you're put in a facility, and treated. It's never fun. It's never sunshine. You are treated as a threat til the day you die incarcerated.
This is hitting me hard. I have granddaughters who we let walk around in the country all the time. I can't imagine. My brain shuts down.
Please dont restrict their freedom to walk around. Cases like this are VERY rare and have been happening for hundreds of years.
600,000 people go missing every year.
My older brother died within 24 hours of birth. Some sixty years later my mom still mourns over his death. I can't imagine what these families are going through even many years after. So very sad.
This one father is breaking 💔 my heart. That is a broken man...I wish so much for that man. Geez
A parent grief never disappears
Definitely, and most little girls are a daddy's girl, there is an absolute special bond there. My little girl is my life, I would probably die of a broken heart.
Bless her, I'm a similar age to your mum, I can't imagine her heartbreak, god love her.
@@outfromtheshadows thank you so much ❤
That grandmother's screams on the 911 call is so heartbreaking.
💯💔
Did the grandmom know her grandson killed his brother?
Truly haunting
For real. It's bone-chilling
@@sammygaudino8906 the little girls did not do anything wrong. The parents and Grandparents did nothing wrong. The brother that sold the drugs did not force the brother to take them. But certainly you cannot kill children for what their brother may or may not have done.
This Aussie gal thought she knew Irish accents… until listening to your awesome videos Mike 😊👌 Absolutely LOVE it!
I recently… like two weeks ago… found this crime channel and I must say that it’s one of the best detailed channels I’ve seen! It’s very well edited and Mike is very funny and entertaining however I can see the genuine sympathy he has for the victims as he’s telling the stories! He’s not afraid to say what we are all thinking about these monsters that he has to tell us about!
Mike….. I am hooked! 👍👍
I found this channel today, binging it since I ran out of MrBallen 😂 love both of these content creators
I watch both these guys and Danielle who does makeup while she tells the stories. All of their voices and compassion is why I have watched for years.
welcome to the club:)
Hey Mike, just want you to know how insane it was to see this notification today. My dad is Kurt Titsworth, he was the head agent on this case for the entirety of it. This whole thing took a huge toll on him emotionally, because of how sensitive it was and how tightly knit all the families in okfuskee county are. You’ve been one of my favorite CZcamsrs for a long time, and I’m grateful you covered this like you do any other case.
Edit: just in case anyone was wondering, my dad was the one interrogating him about the “little monsters”. This whole case is so damn sad and punches me in the gut every time I think about it.
Great comment Ryan. Does your dad still work in law enforcement?
I can't imagine how terrified the police and the entire town must have been, not knowing the killer of those 2 lovely girls. People must have been so afraid to even leave their kids out. Although he must have been under a tremendous amount of pressure, your dad did a great job . I hope he realizes that. This killer is the worst pile of s..t that I have seen on this channel.
I have seen how hard it's on the police, it years off my father 30 years a great guy end good cop💔🙏
@@stephenalex4345 yes he does, he is still an OSBI Agent, but is now with the Cold Case Unit.
@@peggypeggy4137 thank you for your kind words, what affected him the most was definitely becoming close to the families of the children. They absolutely adored my dad, and he was the one they always called to ask if they had any leads or anything. For a long time he just had to tell them that he had nothing. He never stopped working on this case though, and after it was solved he received agent of the year for the OSBI.
I cried at the 911 call, and then I laughed hysterically when you described "Big Sweaty".
Your a talented young man that can pull that off.
I like this channel literally because of that. Nobody does true crime as unique as this man
That 911 call 😢
Mike is great. And it seems like all his fans just are just really cool and appreciative of his work. I never see comments complaining or whining about whatever. It’s cool.
@@manwithnoname3024 THAT PART!! 💯
@@manwithnoname3024 hey I'm not coop don't put that on me
That guy is a coward. Killing two helpless, defenseless girls, and not having the guts to end his relationship like an adult. Using excuses to cover his true reasonings. Jumping his attorney. In every way this is a very low cowardly person, it's truly disgusting
It’s hard to imagine anyone harming a child. It’s horrific 🤮 DP all the way.
I don't know why but hearing how Skyla used to walk barefoot with her cats following behind her made me cry. And hearing Taylor's father speak.....just so heartbreaking.
I know bless her she must of loved them and loved her dream of becoming a vet. Truly heart breaking
@@mollyk5557 did you just consumed a lot of cheap drugs? are you alright?
Because it's just such a "little girl thing" to do. Such stark contrast to being shot in the head. Horrendous. And don't we all love cats or dogs?
I saw the absolute despair and heartache in the father’s eyes when he said he had no reason to smile.
That man was destroyed, he was grey his eyes were lifeless.
Yup. This is why parents are dangerous to people who harm children.
Utter despair. I can only imagine the pain and agony of experiencing every parent's worst nightmare. 💔💔💔
@@JamesDecker7 oh, I get it completely. I wouldn’t be able to keep myself together if I was in his shoes.
Mike, you are PHENOMENAL. My only regret is not finding your channel sooner. Your wit and delivery is amazing. ❤
Omg, I was feeling so nostalgic about walking country roads as a kiddlet until, BOOM... I remembered what I was watching. Thanks for the quality work.
😄 my husband tells me all the time. I lived near the beach so being able walk and things actually in walking distance. Not like now it's more like living on country road.
My jaw dropped when you said that his brother died from drugs given by the girl's family. Truly a revenge killing, holy shit. How fucking awful. RIP Girls, you didn't deserve this
I can't imagine how the brother feels. If you think about it, tho, it means he was stalking the little girl to get his revenge.
@@lyricberlin True. Just creepy and horrible
probably a rumor that his brother overdosed on parents drugs small town rumors.
Difference is his brother was a grown adult making conscious choice to take illegal drugs. These little girls were totally innocent.. this coward deserved nothing short of an instant death penalty.
Revenge is always ugly.
I know this is cliche but man, this is an unbelievably depressing case. Seeing her fathers talk about it was heart-wrenching.
The sheer pain in his voice and his face...so sad man
I'm a father of 2, a 24 year old daughter and a 21 year old son. I've often thought about what it would be like to have one or both of my kids kidnapped, assaulted, and/or murdered. That has to be one of the most soul shattering experiences a human being can experience. I have a recurring dream that started about the time my son started walking (maybe because it was more difficult to watch them both all the time) - I am disabled from a broken back and failed surgery and can no longer run - in the dream someone grabs one of my kids a short distance away from me. I try to run after them but I can't and as I watch them disappear in the distance or get into a car and take off, I wake up in a puddle of sweat and tears. I used to have this or a similar dream every several months until they were both teenagers. Even though they are both adults now I still have a similar nightmare about once a year.
While they were growing up I almost never let them get completely out of my sight unless they were at a friend's house and I knew the parents. I suppose some of this may have been because of my physical disability, but I think most of it probably came from my growing up in the 1970s and 1980s when serial killers became part of the news and Congress, the FBI and others were constantly warning about all of the children being abducted across the US, missing kids pictures on milk cartons, and other things like that. Of course, since then it has been proven that many of those concerns were way overblown in the pursuit of FBI funding and Congressional monies and laws to combat this perceived threat.
It is true that abductions and murders do happen, but not at the numbers claimed at that time - some 5,000 abductions per year, but for me, it was more than enough to make me paranoid about my children's safety.
I can't imagine what it's like for parents of abducted, missing, murdered children - it still just boggles my mind
@@ChopBassMan I grew up in a bad area where gun shots weren't uncommon. When my sister had her son, I dreamt that someone was shooting into my childhood home and I was begging my nephew to run to me. My nephew was always a defiant jerk, so in my dream he refused to move and stayed in front of the patio glass door. He wasn't even my kid and I had bad dreams like that! I knew that I'm not someone who could handle the grief that comes from losing a child, and decided it was best not to have any. I truly don't know how parents go on, after something so horrific steals their babies from them forever. I avoided getting pets, bc I know how painfully it ends. Now I'm stuck w a sick dog and I think I may die from Takotsubo/ broken heart syndrome, when he leaves me. I can't handle loss at all, so it is best to avoid getting too attached to anyone. I could never imagine what these parents go through at night before they fall asleep, and start to let their mind wander.
@@lynnlynn9124 I really hope you don't die from broken heart syndrome. I know how attached we all get to our pets. I had a more difficult time losing my favorite dog than when my parents died. You are obviously a very caring person, even though (and because) you avoid close attachments. I hope you find a positive way to express that concern for loss. I wish you the best.
@@lynnlynn9124 9
It was cool of you to do a mini moment of silence for the poor victims 😔
I worked with this guy at a local Subway during the whole event involving Ashely Taylor. The week after he killed his fiancée he would park behind the store so her family wouldn't know he was at work. Cut his hair and dyed it. Got a tattoo. Terrifying to know I worked with this guy for MONTHS. He always gave a very creepy vibe and was a huge gun nut. On multiple occasions he asked me if I wanted to see his guns or go shooting with him, and who knows what would have happened if I had said yes.
Every time I hear of a little girl wanting to grow up to be a vet, it breaks my heart. My daughter wanted to be a vet since she was about 4 yrs old and is currently in her second year of vet school at Michigan State University. It's so heartbreaking to hear of other little girls who had the same dream, but didn't make it 💔🙏Poor little girls. They were so beautiful.
Wow congratulations to her!! My friend graduated high school last year and she's now studying to become a vet too!
Congratulations to your daughter and yourself for raising her well and helping get into get school
@Jade Ravenwolf very sorry to hear that.
my girlfriend is going to MSU for biology. ✌️
@Jade Ravenwolf so heartbreaking for a little 9 year old to lose her life at a young age, 💔 hell she still a baby at that age. I hope that you are getting though this with the help of family and friends. And I hope your family got the justice your daughter so deserve.. I don't know who all would agree with me?? But when it comes to murdering a, ' child, I fully support the death penalty!!
I lost a child to cancer in 2000, I still suffer today like it was yesterday. I couldn’t possibly imagine losing a child to some POS killing them for no reason whatsoever. God speed to them and prayers to their families and friends. I know first hand how hard it is to lose a precious child and I pray for their families to find peace.
May God give you peace. Please know that death is not the end and I pray one day you will be reunited. Have faith.
Sorry for your loss. I honestly couldn’t imagine..
This is exactly a pos.
Bless you
Big hugs and love to u sweetheart. Lost my mother in 03. Can’t imagine a child. We have our angels. We never get over it we just learn to live with it. I’m so sorry beautiful
Chills from the phone call and the silent rain over the memorials. So sad..
This story hits very close to home as I am from Okmulgee county. My grandfather, myself, and my mother all went to Wilson and I also attended Graham. This case absolutely SHOOK Okfuskee and it’s surrounding counties. It’s a tight knit community and people there were absolutely terrified. Thank you for covering 🙏🏻
I love how Mike can share these stories while still making some jokes to break the tension. While giving life to the people he tells us about. They deserve to have their stories shared, and Mike does so wonderfully.
I think I really despise it when he does the *life insurance dance* but other than that the humor is acceptable.
@@robertfrost8264 it’s hard to watch sometimes. Credit to him for the grind and effort to make these videos but the jokes are too forced and to often.
Rest in Peace Taylor and Skyla.
Rest in Peace Ashley.
Deepest condolences to their families. 🙏
"Holy shit dude this is deep!" Had me rolling!!!
I am a father of a little girl. Because of how dangerous world we live in now.. I intent to do all in my power to help this girl take care of herself as best as she can. Especially against other human beings. I came up in very bad conditions, so that also contributes to that. This about this for a moment.. Somewhere people are getting murdered, attacked, and other ways harmed at this same moment youre reading this.
Mike, I started watching about a turd of the way into your CZcams career and haven’t stopped. Please keep everything exactly the same. You see what happens if you neglect to say “give it a goo” and “I love you”...the comment section gets lit up! Everything is perfect - the music, the humor, the delivery. You have the best true crime channel on CZcams in my opinion. Keep up the great work!
If he doesn't say "I love you", I absolutely lose my shit. Meanwhile, hanging up the phone with my children "aight then, byeeee" haha
LOL I love the turd thing.
Could not agree more!! Such a genuine "I love you" I always repeat it back. 💗
Totally agree!
Been watching for about tree ears now.
Omg!!!! That one father! He can't even stop his voice from quivering. So heartbreaking. Brought some tears to my eyes listening to him.

Oh, the grandmother’s anguish in that 911 call! Absolutely heart-breaking.
Oh my goodness. Im so happy you covered this. I have family in Weleetka & Henrietta, OKlahoma. I was hoping someone would cover this case. It was so sad and unnecessary. Thank you so much.
Shout out to the OSBI & their amazing spokes woman Jessica for their never ending effort to keep this an active case!
Mike O, the way you did the soft rainy fade from the anguished 911 call, to rain, to silence while panning over the memorials was masterful editing. You truly are the very best. Your character and soul shines through as you gently relate these tragic tales. Thank you.
😭😘 I'm so proud of him too ✨ he's the best
Yes! Despite the humor he always manages to inject, he knows just how to pay homage and bring on the tears.
It was well done. Brings the difference of the sounds into sharp relief
It's a gift/ skill and a reflection of Mike's values and attitude that he can deliver a tragic story with humour, yet sensitivity and respect. His parents must have done a good job in raising him.
Yea ok
Years ago, my gf and I lived in an apartment house in an upstate N.Y. city where a young woman whose husband was incarcerated in a local prison also resided. We became friends, and since she had no car, I drove her to the prison several times to visit her husband, who was in on a non violent felony, burglary or some such charge. She told us a story about what happened one day when her husband had a court date. When the prison van arrived at the courthouse, the woman's husband and another prisoner were handcuffed to a corrections officer who escorted the two into the court building. As they were walking down the hall to the courtroom, the other prisoner (not the woman's husband) somehow managed to pull the CO.'s sidearm out of it's holster with his free hand, and opened fire, I recall that he either killed, or badly wounded the C.O. before he was subdued. When Mike spoke about Sweat attempting to murder his lawyer with a concealed razor blade, it reminded me of the neighbor's story.
Lesson learned. I expect some changes resulted from that incident.
BRO
That's one of the hardest, most heartbreaking, 911 calls I've ever heard, how do we produce people (and I do use that term very loosely) like him, and what can we do as a community to avoid it in the future.
Thats the cue. Community. Most ppl don't care or get involved, too self-absorbed. We can't count on our precious cops, we need to take care of things. 👍
@@violagentsch And I agree!!
Stay away from street drugs that fry your brain.
@@violagentsch Wrong, many people are sick and tired of being treated by police as a criminal when they do try to help. Or, they've heard horror stories from others treated like a POS criminal by the police for merely trying to help. Hence people becoming more and more reluctant to help. Police and criminals(sometimes one and the same) are the problem, not the community.
You must not listen to many of them then. It wasn’t good obviously but as far as bad goes that was tame but obviously heartbreaking whenever you hear someone screaming from shock/horror..
There’s some I’ve heard that are burned into my brain, I can’t ever forget.
Damn Mike, you're seriously the best storyteller anywhere. And we "love ya", too.
He never skips a beat. Love him
This crime is from my neck of the woods. This is just the tip of the iceberg for senseless murders around these parts. People have too much time on their hands and too free of access to illegally manufactured drugs. Smh.
The crime and drugs are bad in Oklahoma. Vote for the right President and people if you want change.
Hearing that first dad choke up when talking about his daughter 💔 I could never imagine loosing either of my children. God be with their parents.
No parent should have to go through the pain of losing a child let alone to a disgusting Crime.
Parents fault for letting they children walk alone in the middle of known were
That is a given Mr Obvious.
@@Schinzo__ there comes a point where you can't keep them in or with you forever. Once they are in senior school, going for a walk in a pair, close by to their house, isn't unreasonable, isn't neglectful by, or the fault of, the parents. What are you supposed to do - spend every single minute of every day with them and thus create adults who are woefully unprepared for the real world or any sort of responsibility? Short of being wary of a lonlier type of road, which is a good idea, if you live in a rural area, that describes pretty much most places in the area you'd live in.
Amen!!!🙏😢
@@Schinzo__ because the parents let them walk alone, it's their fault the girls were murdered? If you truly believe that, you also would have to believe the parents should be charged. Incidents like this Re extremely rare and kids can't be in their parent's sight every second of every day.
I love how he tried to go back and say he didn't kill anyone...AFTER trying to kill his lawyer. Like, dude, really? I hope those young girls and young woman are resting in peace.
He probably realised what kind of life he was going to have in prison as a convicted child killer and decided he would rather have the death penalty
I'm pretty sure he was trying to angle for that insanity plea after all. That's why he tried to change his plea after the attack. He thought he had proved he was insane.
yeah, and why on earth would he attack the one guy obligated to side with him. such a smart guy
"I can't find a reason anymore to smile." That father's shaking voice just hurt down to my soul.
Mike, I just wanted to say thank you! Thank you for making me feel safe and sane. I've always been scared of what I call "murder shows" but when you tell it, I can stomach it and at the end I always tell you thank you and love you too. So, we come back full circle. Thank you.
I live in Ada Oklahoma. I am a citizen of the Muscogee Creek Nation. Okmulgee is pronounced ( oak- mol- ghee). This case is so horrible, and we all felt tremendous pain. My ex husband was a court reporter in Okemah.
Thank you! It's always fun listening to someone who's never lived in Oklahoma try to pronounce the names of towns there.
Do you know Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani?
I'm from Tahlequah, OK. It is funny hearing people pronounce it Tah-Lee-Kwah. Same with a lot of towns are here. Like Miami, OK is pronounced My-Am-UH instead of the Miami in Florida lol
Talihina Choctaw here, Tal-a-hane-a lol
This sounds like our Delphi murders here in Indiana. It has been 5 years, a very interesting story and would love to see it solved.
that case haunts me. i think about it often.
I was thinking the same thing.
That’s what I was thinking
I almost thought that is was for just a second
That's the bridge one, right?
The old railroad trestle bridge?
That one, it seems somebody knows something and that guy is somehow integrated so well in the community no one wants to turn him in...
I pray for justice for those 2 girls, too.
I’ve been locked in a “visitation room,” with clients accused of murder (some legitimately using the insanity defense); uncuffed, with no way to get out until a guard came back to let me out; and I have NEVER turned my back on a single one for an instant; for just this reason.
I was around their age when they were murdered. I just can't imagine someone doing this to such young, innocent children. Absolutely evil. May they rest in peace.
The grandmother’s call to 911 broke my heart.
Me too....
Taylor’s father talking about her broke my heart, I couldn’t imagine…
It was so gut wrenching. How can anybody hurt a child?
@Stephen Alex broken man. I hope something comes his way to save him. That's rough.
@@codybarry8204 it's so hard to watch.
@@mollyk5557 Pardon? We watch true crime because certain elements fascinate us, no matter how dark. However, to say I find it entertaining watching parents cry over their lost children would be a million miles off.
That clip of the 911 call was haunting and excruciating--The pain in her voice, the hysteria, my God 😞
Mike - I watch a lot of crime stories. You are way and above the BEST of them all. Thank you so much ❤️.
Since giving birth I haven't been emotionally able to watch all my usual true crime channels and listen to the horrific stories, except Mike! His tactful handling of the subject matter still keeps it interesting, entertaining and light-hearted so I can still consume my favorite content without getting upset lol
It changes you, having a kid. My oldest is 18, and when he was about 2 months old, an episode of House was coming on that was about a sick baby, and I couldn’t even watch it. And I watch all kinds of rough stuff. But it really does something to, having a baby.
Mike, I’m sorry I couldn’t finish this one. I just burst into tears listening to the grandmothers 911. I can’t do the ones with the kiddos. It hurts my heart too much. Thanks for working so hard to bring us this content. I can’t imagine how hard it must be sometimes, researching all of it.
Totally understandable. I'm similar except I have days where I'm 'up for it' (kid murder stories) and days where I'm not; the key is recognizing that fact and asking myself what kind of day I'm in before I hit play, maybe put it in 'watch later' instead. I also get to where there are only 'so many' murder cases I can watch in a row where the victim was a woman. I'm a devout member of the kind of feminism which is really 'humanism' because I know there are reasons why men commit these horrific acts so much more commonly than women, ways that boys can be raised that make them dangerous, and it certainly doesn't mean all men should automatically be mistrusted. But sometimes ...... sometimes I feel like these insecure, selfish, narcissistic men are EVERYWHERE, that's when I know I've been watching too many videos like this.
Same. He generally doesn’t do stories with kids and when he does, it’s not super violent. Seems like he wrote or said something about it a few years ago. ❤️🤟🏻
@@audreymuzingo933 not so sure I agree with you completely. Yes there are plenty of men who are pathetic wastes of skin, I agree. But there are plenty of insecure, selfish, narcissistic women out there too, and we are finding out about more and more of them each day.
@@audreymuzingo933 " it certainly doesn't mean all men should automatically be mistrusted. But sometimes ... ... sometimes I feel like these insecure, selfish, narcissistic men are EVERYWHERE" They're not, of course, as you know.
In fact, they are a small minority - but when that's all one sees (perusing shows like this), it's understandable why one might start to wonder about it. This is precisely the same mechanism that causes cops to get jaded and suspicious of everyone except other cops... except unlike the rest of us, they can't decide to take a break from it, to put the True Crime shows on hold for a while, and re-establish ties with the "real world".
So, don't let it get you down, and just take a breather every now and again, and recall that there are lots of us - most of us - men out there in the world that are normal, ordinary people who are kind and loving and supportive and have never been in any trouble with anyone at all. 🙂
@@truesnuh4781 Yeah but statistically men are a greater danger. That's just a fact. Just because some of those women you mentioned exist and commit horrible crimes, doesn't make it equivalent whatsoever.
We all are here right until the very end and we love that you say the same thing everytime..that's my favourite part..
The amount of true crime I NEVER consumed before subbing to you, Mike, is polarizing..
That 911 call from the grandfather was damned hard to hear without feeling his emotion. That poor man, I cried for him.
Mike never said the grandfather called 911?? He just said the grandfather went looking for and found them.
I don't believe the 911 call was made by the grandfather, because the person speaking to 911 sounds like a woman!! But that's just my opinion.
I believe that was the grandmother my dear
@@donchonealyotheoneal5456 ya, my reply was actually to someone specifically where they thought the grandfather had called 911, but I blv my response got posted under the wrong comment!!?
I also blv it was the grandmother too, bcuz it clearly sounds like a woman's voice, yet she still says "my granddaughter".
You’re seriously the best Mike!
I attempted suicide in October. When I was discharged, I discovered your amazing videos… They keep me goin!! Thanks for everything you do for us! ❤️
I'm glad you are still here! I hope you have help and support. We all need that sometime.
I am so glad you are here. ♥️♥️♥️
Try to remember that survival should be everythings primary biological imperative. When our brains are saying anything else, we gotta get help. Don't let yourself get there again 💙
Thanks for showing up.
Glad your here.
What a relief that you did not succeed, and then you’ve pulled through. Wishing you all the best, especially when times are dark. I’ve been there, too.
Taylors dad speaking..ugghh broke my heart 💔😭 you're a different type of coward to attack animals and/or children.....so helpless and innocent
The twisted irony of the Lil girl wanting to become a forensics scientist is she became a forensics case herself due to a mad man...this breaks my heart to think about this cruel twisted world
I love your wrap up! Even if you think it's repetitive or stupid after so long. It's still perfect and so genuine! You're the only creator who I feel actually means the care and love they purvey. Now don't get me wrong here Mike, I'm married and happy, BUT when you sign off with "take care and I love ya!", I always feel the love. Like bestie or family type love. You're the best there is! Love ya!
He's so adorable at the ends
he’s definitely one of the best ones on here for sure, you should check out kendall rae!
seconded! I never skip his sign off
His is probably the only channel that i allow to run until the end. He really is so sincere-sounding in his sign-offs.
I agree 100%. Mike is a genuine person, not a persona. I'd miss those sign offs for certain. Love 'ya Mike, Digger out ;)
It's always tougher to watch these when innocent kids are murdered by monsters. I had never heard of this case, so thank you for sharing.
And yet here you are being entertained by death.
@@mircat28 Negative. Only a sick **** is entertained by death. Personally, I'm here because of Mike's ability to tell a story.
I'll assume you're here just to be a troll. So many of you on social media. How sad.
I had to stop listening to one of my favorite podcast when they shared the case of a murder of 3 girls in camp in the 70's . I wasn't expecting the horror. I think these cases with children should have a special warning. I hope Mike can read my comment.
@@tinhi1 Some of these cases are so horrific, they stay with you. The recent (and still unsolved) case in Indiana of the two little girls on the train tracks, is one of them.
If Mike didn't bring a scrap of humor (aimed only at the monster(s), not the victims), to these awful stories, they'd be unbearable.
But these stories need to be told. Being aware of just how awful humans can be, and are, helps keep us vigilant.
I was raised in a small town in Missouri, and there was a slightly recent murder in a town that has never had anything like that in 30 years to my knowledge. I strongly believe more eyes could help solve alot of problems that the officers skipped over and allowed to happen.
Deronte Martin was murdered in Fredericktown MO. He was the only
PoC at a party on prom night and they claimed he went up to their basement and shot himself in the head. There are a bunch of things pointing towards the owner of the home who was allowing his daughter to have this party, who is also extremely racist. At first the police determined it as suicide and allowed the home owner to clean the area before they did any search or checking the crime scene or anything. Later the autopsy showed it was not a self inflicted and still nothing has been done. Derontes mom is still searching for answers but nothing has happened. It could really use more attention.
Yes every time a black person commits suicide it's a hate crime 🙄
Danelle hallan covers a lot of cold cases maybe suggest the case to her or Kendall Rae she covers cases without a wealth of information out, cold cases and is very respectful of family.
@@youtubeuser1159 maybe look up the details of the case before commenting.
The op is talking about a very specific case in which a jury overruled the coroners finding of suicide because of the evidence with which they were presented. You’re the only one making generalizations here which, to me, is just really indicative of your inner biases.
Gee, small town Missouri cops refusing to investigate the obvious murder of a black man? I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you.
@10:19 After ten minutes of increasingly tragic and depressing details, I was not expecting Mike's "sweaty" description. I have not laughed that hard in a long time. Thank you, Mike.
No parent should ever bury their child, as a mother that’s one of my biggest fears....can’t imagine how families of such tragic circumstances must feel 🥺
I'm actually not having kids because I'm *that* scared of it. I'd rather not even let it be possible bc I know I'd lose the last leg of my stability.
@@Anonymous-54545 hey anonymous.. you don’t know me and I don’t know you. Do not let fear keep you from having kids. Having kids is the greatest joy in life. It is the greatest happiness and sense is pride you will ever have. Do not let the fear of maybe keep you from experiencing parenthood.
@@Anonymous-54545 100% agreed man, that’s a big part of why I’m getting my tubes tied at 22
It's every parent's worst nightmare.
@@Anonymous-54545 It sounds like you are making a sensible, well thought out decision for yourself. Parenting isn't for everyone and it's a LOT of work and heartache. No doubt you will have nieces, nephews, neighbors, and friends' kids that you can enjoy and give love to. 🤍
What says "I'm a piece of shit" more than trying to slash your attorney's neck? Killing two little girls and a woman that probably loved you even though you were, as stated "a piece of shit". Hopefully that isn't the last black eye he's received in prison, because he deserves a whole lot more.
With any luck, he'll be the queen of the Saturday night prom in prison. As a child killer, I'm surprised he didn't ask for the needle. It would have been better than what's going to happen to him.
@@mollyk5557 child killers and abusers and sex offenders are KOS (Kill On Sight) in US prisons from what I've heard from interviews with former cons. There's no escape as the second you enter the prison other cons will demand to see your paperwork and charges. Refuse and they'll know you're hiding something bad and @#$% you up anway.
@@davekennedy6315 I didn't know you had to show your papers in jail. Fascinating fact. I always wondered how other inmates knew what someone was in for. Though, I guess in that kind of "closed community" you've gotta talk at some point.
@@parsleypalace3272 here in the UK it can be prison officers tipping off the prisoners, NO ONE likes child abusers/murderers. So, hopefully, they all get the treatment they deserve.
@@parsleypalace3272
If its a (in)famous case there'll always be someone who remembers. Plus white, middle-aged are always thought to be "cho-mos"
And people are still against the death penalty. Amazing.
It's crazy. DP cases are also expensive to the State because of the automatic appeal process. We have to find a cheaper way.
Made me think of my own children and how blessed I am. These crimes are just unthinkable and sad. Thank you for telling their stories.
Damn. This one was really difficult. Hearing grandma on the 911 call and grandpa with the media broke me. As always Mike, you told this with respect and love for the victims and their families. 💜
I just saw an article saying that the mother of the murdered fiance found her other daughter dead hanging from a rope in her shed. Poor woman loses not one but 2 daughters. God be with that woman..
This is so heart wenching
Omg!!
One hell of a karma.
Holy shit. I don't even know how someone could go on after that...
I never understood why criminals attack their lawyers, who are there to *defend* them. I personally saw it once in court while talking to my own attorney, but thankfully it didn’t end in violence, I think because it was around so many people and was stopped in time. But it was very scary, I can’t even imagine how the lawyer must have felt.
I love how he wanted to be a cop, but is wearing a shirt saying “hiding from the cops” lol 😂😂🤔
I was in Amarillo Texas the day this happened, it was huge news even in Texas.
Everyone was wondering what happened and there was a deep sadness about it that affected everyone that week.
Everyone wanted swift justice to be done for those girls.
If that young boy had been caught within the first week, I'm sure he would've been broken out of the jail and hung.
People were in a rage about finding out who did it, and serving out justice with a rope.
So glad you reported on this case.
Thank you.
Wish that actually happened
I’m close to Austin myself and remember this also, if only they had known who he was at the time ……………………….
And I would hope EVERYONE involved in such a thing would be charged with murder.
Idiots and asses, all of them.
Fake tough guys, likely.
I wonder how many innocent people got hung in the "good old" days by the "good old" boys.
Lynch mobs are never a good idea. In cases like this it's important to go through the justice system. Crazy people make false confessions all the time, so you have to be sure.
However, if there was a capital punishment that involved being torn limb from limb by a crowd of your peers, I would be ok with that in certain cases. I guess being drawn and quartered would also work.
Deserves way worse than a roping
Wait, you're a one man show? Dude. Mad respect! It's OK if you miss a week here and there, you're human! Thanks for the content.
How could you not tell ? 😂😂😂😂
@@Li8eralsarescum69 You a bot?
@@Mimmie. yes
Thank you Mike, once again you can make my lonely depressed heart skip a beat! You're channel has been such a blessing is some very hard times...
Think of how much of a coward one has to be to attack two small girls.
It blows my mind that a grown man could even think about this.
Mike, we sincerely appreciate all the hard work that you put in to every single video. However, please take care of yourself because these types of videos can only wear down someone's mental health, and we definitely don't want you to suffer from being burnt out, or taking a huge toll on your own mental health.
We'll always be here for you, and we all love you, as much as you love us. Please take care of yourself, stay safe, and God bless!
This reminds me of an unsolved double murder of two young teens. Their names were Libby and Abby (I can't remember their last names). They were two friends who went for a walk in a park and were both found murdered in the same park.
I REALLY hope their murders will be solved.
Delphi murders?
I could be wrong but I am pretty sure they have the man they believe did it to those poor girls I hope so bc they need the closure... Hope u enjoying u day 🌞 be safe out there!!
kegan Kline do u believe he is guilty some of the things I watched on it points to saying he is guilty that's for sure... Why do u belive a family memeber was also involved? I do believe Kline lured them saying that he was the hunky sexy cop ( ex cop I believe ) somewhere & was able to do God only knows what to those poor girls... Anyways hope everything comes out soon plz enjoy u day 🌞& u be safe out there!!
Yes the Delphi murders. They were on a railroad, and some man ordered them down off of the tracks into the bushes and trees. One of the girls recorded him. Video and audio. I hope he gets caught very soon.
Hey Mike 🖤 I put this one off for a long time because I grew up right by where this happened so it’s extra close to my heart. We were so fucking scared and confused. Thanks for covering this crazy tragedy! I never expected to hear it anywhere, much less from my favorite CZcamsr. Seeing this notification was CRAZY.
I always watch until the end because sincere gratitude is one of the loveliest things I can think of.
