☠︎ Found the secret easter egg in today's video? Be the 1st to comment what it is and where it occurs in the video, and you will get pinned!! ☠︎
Elvis 13:08
Good job!!!! First one to guess correctly!
what is it?
DANGIT
Pinned by Mr Ballen, and he's at like the bottom for me OK CZcams
Impressive
Any stranger inviting me to spend alone time with them after several minutes of talking, no matter how friendly, is a huge red flag.
...and may just catch a punch in the dickhole//kick in the vadge
I experienced this in the Ukraine and picked up on it quickly enough to get to safety.
@@glenmorgan3683 oh wow what happened if you don't mind me asking? Situations like that are horribly scary
ESPECIALLY if they are friendly
Yes for sure! especially at night … so sad for the women
I remember a documentary on this in which Hal gave an interview, and he said that he thought the lethal injection was too quick and if he had his choice he would have wanted the man to be drowned and brought back 3 times so he could feel what his family members went through.
i once heard of a man trying to get it on with a stallion, he died because a horse's pp is way too much for a human's large intestine. Seeing this guy didn't just drowned them, but diddled them first, I say, drown him the 3 times then give him "the horse."
@@marisakennedy4066 excellent
even thats way too good . what should happen to these scumbags can't be written down but the start of it would be trowing him into jailhouse population to be a bitch for enough time to begin to pay for his own assaults on his victims then the serious punishment could begin
@@bobpop_2520 - wow, you’re a total clown
@@bobsaturday4273 the sad thing is we should still be living by Hammurabi's Code if we wanted these to have an impact. Oh you did this? Have it back thrice over. You looked at them with evil eyes? Good thing we have a molten metal rod... And so on. This sickens me. These people have it way, way too easy. And in so many cases, dumb celebrities like Kim Kardashian rush in, no knowledge of the events, believe their all innocent saints, and send their army of idiots to attack and upend their intended meeting with the reaper.
From where I sit, watching these people save vicious monsters, never once uttering the victim's name, they should join them.
Can't believe you missed the most important part of this story that the hand writing was identified by a woman who saw it on a billboard that the police had posted the handwriting from the brochure because they had absolutely no leads and hoped someeone would identify it. and she matched it to handwriting she saw on a receipt from a contractor and she did a side by aide comparison and she knew it was him and called the police this was incredible and was what solved the case and they never would have solved it otherwise
THANK YOU!!! Was going to post the same thing.
Critical evidence! Thank you for that!
Yes !!!
Omg that's amazing!! Thank you for posting this!!
Yup seen this on forensic files
That poor father. Some of the worst things that could happen to his family did, one right after another. I can't imagine his pain. 😞
Yeah, poor guy. When I heard that only the girls will go, I IMMEDIATELY thought that the father should have go with them as well. Different times, back then, you should had at least one (trust-able) adult man with you when you go on trips.
And on top of that they had to rule that poor father out. So you’re grieving and on top of that you have to prove you’re not involved.
Why didn't he go with them on the trip!?!?!?;?
@@EstablishedHeritagethey owned a farm and he had to stay behind to work it since they had no one else to do so after the pos uncle went to prison
@@EstablishedHeritagethe true question is why wld a married WOMAN accept an invite from a total make stranger on his boat while also placing their daughter's in harms way?
I feel terrible for that poor girl that was assaulted by 2 different men in her short life... what an absolute nightmarish tragedy
And also not believed by her own mother. Poor girl.
@@20807shane her grandma not her mom
The mother was the downfall of that family. So sad.
That literally made me cry, and prayed that this guy is getting the very worse punishment in hell! First and only time I cried from a Mr. Ballen story, so far...
She might have been ok if she had a decent Mom.
This is why you don't mess with strangers, especially inviting you the first few minutes of meeting you to get on a boat.
righttt, just reading your comment puts it in perspective bro XD definitly too good to be true but in this context they were women so for a man to be nice to women isnt so rare. even inviting women. if it was a guy to a guy you wouldnt think hes psycho but just gay right that older lady probly just thought he was into her or something i dont knowwwwww
IKR. I wouldn't have even wound down my window for him in the first place.
Exactly. Trust no one unless you’ve known them all your life. Even then, people can surprise you in the worst ways.
Yep can't trust people like that, it's very unsafe.
There are too many naive people in this world, unfortunately.
It's HORRIBLE what happened to them, especially that little girl who already just went through so much, but why on earth would you go onto a boat with your two little girls and a dude you never met? 😕
It's a good point. The mother made a horrible decision. She didn't even know this guy at all.
I teach my kids no matter how nice a stranger is never accept or go with them never risk it..
My goal in life is to never end up in one of MrBallen's stories
Same but the exact opposite
I can't imagine having to wait 3 years to find out what happened to your missing wife and two daughters. That's so horrible.
My goal is to find the Secret 🧐
@@scottcantdance804 hello, am wife. Send help.
What if you're on it but not in one of these types
"What this man did will haunt you"
Me with severe anxiety disorder: I'm listening.
None of the stories before have wrecked me like this one. The way he toured them is literally the worst. OMG..... How do we stop people like this from ever getting their first kill?
😂 😂
Relatable. Some times I have to stop watching stories like this for a few days because I get anxiety about everyone and every where lol
@@modernNeanderthal800 Right question, that as far as i know we don't have an answer, bar yearly evaluations of literally the entire population, sick puppy's are usually made not born , do with that info what you will
yeah i have mild paranoia but i can't stop
My heart breaks for this family. How could a human be so cruel and disgusting
It's not a human, it's a monster.
They look like human but they are not human.
This is why I was told, "Trust no one" "Don't talk to strangers" I am so heartbroken about this loss
The fact they went on the trip to get away from a evil man,only to run into another evil man,heartbreaking,condolences to hal and the rest of his family and friends
they didnt take a trip to get away from an evil man. The uncle was already in prison when they left.
@@trawlins396 They left to get away from the THOUGHTS of what that evil man did. I can't understand psychopaths that do this to innocent people
Exactly what I was thinking, it’s so awful!
This makes me sick why tf people just can't be regular damn it is it so Hard to be regular and not have alterior motives to try and kill torture or rape someone this world is just sick and things could all be so simple and easy but no you gotta look at people thinking they might want to kill you
I shutter to think how the memories of Michelle's uncle probably came back to haunt her as that "other pig" did the same thing once more to her, her mother and sister only to suffer a horrific death after the fact.😤😡... Just imagine after years of having to go though that it happens AGAIN and then you die. Sad, just sad..at least she's out of her misery now...😔💔.
Note to self: If a stranger invites you onto their boat, say NO. This is the second horrific thing that happened on a boat story :( I'm still sad for the couple that was handcuffed and thrown overboard.
don't forget homemade submarines. never go on someone's homemade submarine. lol.
Ikr :'( both of these were nightmares
Exactly! A Single Men has always an intention inviting a beautiful Woman. Its mostly something Sexual.
Me too that story about the couple on the boat is haunting aswell
These stories are horrifying. I wonder if the woman put up any kind of fight. I would have been kicking and tried to head butt him or something. But I wasn't there so maybe that was impossible. Just makes me so mad...all these stories like this. Wish his death sentence had been the same as what he did to his victims.
This story will never leave you.
Man times were different man...who in their right mind nowadays would go take your children on a boat with a stranger that walked up to you randomly im a place you've never been?
No one anymore with what we know now. So unfortunate. May they rest in peace.
Like you said it was a different time when hitchhiking was normal. We have more stories like this to use as reasons to not go with strangers
So FUCKEN sad
Good peoples don't assume someone may lie and want to hurt them
@@morganablackwater2017 that is so true. They imagine everyone is as nice and trustworthy as they are. So sad
This story has haunted me since I first heard it years ago. That father must be shell shocked having lost his entire family. His kids and wife, his brother and his idiotic mother who thinks her grandbaby was lying. What an absolute nightmare!
Same. He literally said in the beginning that it's the type of story to leave a mark on you. But of course me being a stupid human was curious so I watched it anyways!
@Uncle Creepy don't laugh , you #*%£&@
Nope 🤷🏾♀️ This MF caught an attitude because Florida police wanted him to come to Florida. This was on Forensic Files. He NEVER went saying he was to buy because he had a farm to run!!😲
Man. I didn’t even think k of all that. He must be completely broken.
@Uncle Creepy we got an egdelord!!
You didn't tell the most interesting part of the whole story: How he got caught! They put his handwriting on a billboard. Someone who was a customer of Chandler's had a receipt from work he did on that person's house.
@Randy Orton fax😔
I watched this episode on Forensic Files and im amazed on how they caught him through this handwriting. I miss forensic files on netflix 😔
Wow, great information Tracy. Amazing that he was found from handwriting! Thanks!
@robert punu where are you from? I live in the Philippines and it’s not on Netflix anymore. They removed it last year. (Btw i checked today and still not there)
@@janine4047 prob. The US
This is so sad, the entire story. First the disgusting uncle who hurt the young girl and then to end up in such an awful situation with this murderer. I hope Hal is able to find peace in his life. I feel so heartbroken for him. I cannot even imagine.
Thank you for covering this. The other version of the tale I had seen didn't have the backstory and painted the dad as unfeeling and uncaring about what happened to his family. Sounds like he was overwhelmed my the magnitude of the tragedy that befell him and his family instead.
Yeah, and sometimes something is so overwhelming that you just shut down and do what you gotta do. Box it up and unpack it later
That poor dad not only lost his connection with his mother and found out his brother is a demon he also lost the people most precious to him... can you imagine him working that farm all alone for the rest of his life
i did read that he finally met someone through his friends and neighbors, and she had kids to raise, too, so he's blessed with people to love and take care of.
No. I’d have killed myself if I were him I think. Not that I’m endorsing that, but I know myself and I couldn’t live with that
@@monkeyballs512
Exactly, how do you move on from that?
@@blainwilson7937 you honestly don't.
The pain may disappear from time to time but you bet your ass he has sleepless nights and anxiety attacks missing his previous family.
Also just HOW they died too, so f**ked
@@monkeyballs512 it is so tragic but the human spirit is remarkable with h the proper support, he did nothing wrong .
I can't even express how badly I feel for Hal. How can one even begin to deal with this kind of loss?
Yes, to lose his wife and daughters AND be stuck with his despicable mother and brother; my heart breaks for that poor man. 😥
I think if I’m not allowed to seek lawful vengeance, then life won’t be worth living.
@@bartman9400 Even unlawful in this case.
Yeah I think I'd try to figure out a way to get that man killed in prison. Then once confirmed I'd just blow my top off. What's the point in living if your family is dead ya know.
@@Jsmash88808 no never hurt yourself! If someone took away your family, never give them more by hurting yourself. The best revenge is to live well. And the best way to honor your family is to live the best life you can while you hold them in your heart. We all live on when someone holds us dear and remember us with love. NEVER hurt yourself.
You are the only person I binge on. The weird thing is that I found another person who loves your channel. She has a CZcams channel herself. Thank you for your work.
I would never understand how a human could do something so horrible to another human being!!!
I can never do that, not even against an insect.
This is why I say "Trust No One". Especially overly friendly strangers . . .
Excellent advice!
It’s sad. I saw a little girl riding her bike in town late at night with no lights on her bike and she looked like she didn’t know where she was going and I wanted to help but I felt like someone might think I was going to do something to her so I stayed across the street and asked if she needed help
@@adamnorvell 10 years ago it was expected that u look out for kids and vulnerable ppl unfortunately these days u try to help someone ul most likely catch a case its a sad world we live in now...glad there are is others with morals tho tc brother :)
39 clues vibes
Some people are just nice people though. It’s not that deep
You left out how he was discovered. He got away with this crime for many years however the text that was believed to be written by the suspect on that brochure was blown up and put on a bulletin board and happened to be seen by a woman who instantly recognize the handwriting. She remembered having a gentleman come and do electrical work in her home and he had written her a receipt up for the work she still had that receiptAnd turned it over to law-enforcement. It was analyzed and compared to the handwriting found on the brochure and was determined to be a match.
Edit: by some strange coincidence, The episode of forensic files which features this story in an episode called waterlogged is playing right now as I just turned on my TV!
I would have been SO effin freaked out. Such a sadistic person living and working just like everyone else for one... Two, wondering if they had been thinking about doing like that to you/what they might have done to you.
Well cool, thanks for that!
@@SilveniumTheDrifter I’m sure the thought came through her mind in regards to being in such close contact with such a deranged person and what a close call she had
So true that was the story i heard and i recognized the story as he was telling it but this detail was missing… this was the part of story that is so weird aside from tragic of course.
Who remembers hand writing like that from a random one time meeting years later??
Ever since I discovered this channel three nights ago, I've been watching tens and tens of videos.
Most of the time watching the videos, then reading the comments endlessly.
I'm having my finals coming up like in a week and I haven't even started my preparation but I'm super addicted to this channel lol.
It's like I'd watch even at 4:30 am, even when I'm having panic attacks while watched i couldn't stop.
It's just like the stories and the storytelling is that good.
Everything is so easily imaginable, the way he says it makes me wanna watch these all day long but I'm scared of my exams so I'll stop for a while.😬
You don’t trust ANYBODY. Doesn’t matter how nice they seem to be. Damn smh. RIP
I'll never understand why Michelle, the silent victim of abuse, didn't occur to her to warn her mother about the potential danger of trusting a stranger.
I was assaulted once by my cousin when I was like, 5 years old, and I've been having trust issues ever since.
A psychopath once said, "Helping people is the best way to fool them."
That's interesting. Do you remember who said that. I'm genuinely curious.
Ted Bundy I’m sure
That makes sense
This will always stick with me.
It's also how a pedophile will get involved in families
Charming and helpful, just beware
@@truartist5379 but it was the other way around with Ted Bundy. He faked an arm injury with his arm in a sling & would ask these young vulnerable women if they could help him.
Guy lost his brother, mother, two daughters, and wife. My simple divorce doesn't seem bad at all now.
Going threw the same and said the same.
Nope ur divorce is super bad still
@@ryanhillier107 no u
What a heartfelt assessment! You put your feelings aside to reflect on others and put the whole thing into PERSPECTIVE. You sound very intelligent and someone with a kind heart. 🤗
@@ryanhillier107 You missed what was being said. She knows what she is going through but she is putting things into PERSPECTIVE and realizing there are others out there who are going through worse. So if others can survive their ordeal, she thinks hers is pretty MINOR compared to some. Sounds like a wonderful person to me🤗
That poor man, knowing his brother abused his daughter, then to have another man kill your daughter and wife. That's just awful luck.
Everyone says their goal is to not end up in one of Mr. B's stories, but honestly if I go out and shovel extreme or messed-up way I would think it's an honor to have my story told by him. The attention to detail and obvious care and hard work he puts in does every victims story justice
If any one in my family ends up in one of his videos, there’s good odds he will be making another one about me. My wife and kids are my world. Messing with them would be a bad idea.
It's kind of creepy post.
I hope the father has found some kind of peace.
I hope so too. God this is SO horrific
Honestly
@@squatonthecomet1306 The father did believe her. He was distraught over the fact that his own brother betrayed him and his family. It was the mother that didn’t believe her.
@@squatonthecomet1306 let's make this clear. The father did believe his daughter. It was his own mother, the girl's grandmother that did not believe her. Please listen more closely before you make a comment.
You never find peace, you just learn to live with it.
The grandmother willing to lie about her granddaughter and spread those lies around town...even though her son was sentenced for the crime...yeah, I wouldn't want a grandmother like that! Can you imagine the girl's dad, Hal, knowing his own mother is bad mouthing his daughter after she went through 3 years of unspeakable abuse! What a pos she is!
Explains the son
@@nettewilson5926 You're right! It does! Funny how there is always one bad seed in the sibling pool.
She was afraid, someone would think, she was a bad mother. So instead her daughter in law is the bad mother to raise a liar like this. I assume a twisted thinking like this
@@afrarunduml1170 I agree!
@@afrarunduml1170 I've never thought of that before, I believe you are correct....there are nasty, narcissistic women out there
I narrated this to my mum and she burst out into tears. She couldn’t believe how some humans could be so wicked.
I saw this story on tv several years ago. And never forgot how horrifying it was! It broke my heart.
Me too, I think it was on one of the old Forensic Files or FBI Files shows many years ago. I also never forgot this, so tragic and scary
I also seen a reconstruction of this years ago and it haunted me.
It's terribly heart breaking
Imagine being assaulted by your uncle, then being accused of making the assault up by your relatives. Then during the vacation, a vacation intended for you to unwind and forget all the drama that occurred in your home, a man you chose to trust, assaults not just you, but your loved ones as well, after which you were forced to witness their grim demise, while awaiting yours. Too cruel. They just wanted a normal life. They didn't deserve any of these.
@Mr Mad Philosopher it’s hard not to dwell on how truly awful humans can be. We can be pretty fking amazing, too. I wish you the best.
Hope is the light behind every dark cloud. We like to believe there's still some humanity left in the world. We are getting stronger every day, to fight the evil. We still come across kindness everyday... Not one person I know, has a spotless life. Everybody's been through some sh*t. Everyone keeps the hope alive...
@@idkkimberlyanne you are depressed in life because random people you don’t know were killed 30-40 years ago
I'm really angry at how irresponsible to mother was, although I don't intend to say she would have had to die.
@@bkurtz85 how to say you're a sociopath without saying you're a sociopath
but it's a youtube comment section. none of us know who you are so we can all avoid ever interacting with you
This is literally why the phrase "stranger danger" exists, you can't trust anybody
Yooo supsup
If you live that way, it will become soul-crushing...
Fearing everyone will leave you living in fear...
Yes you can. You can trust most people.
@@davidhollenshead4892 . . . There's a difference between "not trusting" and "fearing." Don't trust anyone enough to put yourself at their mercy, and it shouldn't come to fear. That's not "soul-crushing." It's just a good practice.
If u ever get married and u used the phrase "Stranger Danger" it might go threw D.N.A
I remember this happening. To this day, it is still the scariest story I ever could imagine.
Those poor women. That is probably the cruelest thing I have ever heard. Not only how he killed them but making the other women watch? What a monster. Glad he isn’t breathing air anymore.
Who else recently discovered MrBallen and has been binge watching his videos like a netflix series?
Because I am.
I found his channel through a youtuber who watches youtubers for "reaction" videos lol . I guess that's a thing?
Meeeee!
no one cares.
@James Harris lmoa feel the same ! I always tell my family if I didn't have children I would dedicate my life as a vigilante assassin killing as many child trafficers as I can. Would need to aquire the skills though.
today
Props for the hotel manager who, of all people in these stories, took suspicious circumstances seriously and immediately reported it to police. No one ever does that. It may have been too late here, but at least he took it seriously. So many tragedies could be avoided if more people acted like him.
That's a really good point. Because of him, they were able to stop a serial killer. Who knows how many lives were saved because of that?
Maybe the manager watched horrer movies
I'm a little disturbed by this comment. Their stuff was in a room untouched for a week the hotel didn't notice that they hadn't come home. I don't really feel like this guy did a great job at all.
Yeah, I'm surprised it was a Tampaon too, we usually just dont like phone calls
@@faeryfeathers He reported it as soon as he knew about it - doesn't mean he's the best manager, but he did a good thing when the opportunity presented itself. Also, who knows why no one noticed; no immediate reason to believe the manager screwed anything up there. Could just be the way the cleaning schedule was set up or something else. Could even be the fault of a different manager - doesn't matter. The point is, something was suspicious, and he reported it as soon as he knew about it. That's something more people need to do, and it's a rarity in these kinds of stories.
I’m just a week in to this channel and, like many, can’t stop watching every single video one after the other. THIS one is the one that I just can’t shake off. 100% accurate title for this post- just one of the most terrifying things I’ve ever heard of. Just wow-
You're right, this does haunt me and has done since I first heard about this case a few years ago. It's simply one of the most horrible things I've ever heard.
I wonder if the girls would of took that holiday if the grandmother hadn’t turned the whole town against that poor girl by claiming that her son was innocent and her granddaughter was making it up.Absolutely tragic.
I thought same thing
My thoughts exactly. They are now incidentally complicit in their murders, most likely. They victim blamed when there were pictures and video of the trauma and the abuse.
Accepting someone you love dearly is a horrible person is tough. But living with the fact you defended a horrible person and unintentionally caused the victim's murder is tougher.
Yeah.. also sad to say she shouldn't be going on dates and including her girls with strange men while she's married. She was basically on her way to cheating on her husband.
@John Nichols No you’re being a dick.I know my English grammar but on here I type the way I would speak.
I've never felt worse hitting the like button on a video before. The fact that Hal made it 22 years to see the death of the man who destroyed everything good in his life is a testament to his strength to survive for his wife and daughters. I don't know if I could survive such tragedy.
🙏🏼
@Bob Ross 😆
I felt the same way. I didn’t want to like it, but want to support the channel. What a waste of skin and oxygen that man was.
@Bob Ross 😏 that’s funny
Agreed. My heart is broken.
As a husband and father of two daughters this one cut deep. He never would have had the chance to sit on death row if he took away my entire world like he did to that man. I would have put a swift end to his days first chance I got.
I have experienced extreme tragedy and hearing an interview of this man speaking on how he got through his grief gave me so much hope to keep going. ❤
My bestie and I are planning a trip and we discussed how our trip would go.
1. Do not walk away with anyone.
2. Do not allow anyone onto our room.
3. If you do not finish your drink before walking away from it, leave it.
4. Under no means will we separate from one another.
make sure you have at least 3 other trusted friends/family members in a life360 group together so that your locations are always able to be tracked. i do this with my girlfriend and our group chat so if anything happens we can all discuss it together and quickly figure out what to do from there. we’ve actually had a friend that was taken by her significant other and her parents couldn’t find her. once we heard the news, we remembered our life360 group and found her location in this weird apartment complex a long way away. my dad, girlfriend and i drove out there and knocked on the door. significant other answered, we told them the situation and they asked what we were talking about, we showed her location and they went to get her. long story short, she was there against her will and the s/o was arrested and imprisoned for kidnapping.
Smart! And let loved ones know your itinerary! And where you might be on certain days, if possible.
Great tips!!👌
Whenever my daughter works late, is out of town and uses Uber or Lyft, she always sends me a link so I can watch her route and make sure she’s safe.
In short...just use common sense.
Finds his brother sexually assaulting his daughter just to fund out they got murdered on a vacation. Don't know how anyone could live their life knowing this.
I would go insane.
I’m afraid to google the guys dairy thinking he committed suicide.
Right?
You don't have to agree with me, but I believe committing suicide is a sin. But if this happened to me, I don't think I could live.
This is the worst story yet
@@OnceUponReddit I respect your opinion, so don't take this as me criticizing your beliefs.
I myself believe that ending your life should be a human right, we never chose to come into this world. There are many reasons why people's lives are completely miserable, and you should have the choice to humanly end it when they want to.
A few countries have this for elderly people who are very ill, saving them from a painfull and horrible death. But why should a person who is so mentally or physically hurt not have the same choice.
I do believe it should be a thorough process, where you first have to go to seek medical help, including stuff like doctors and therapy sessions, so it's clear all is done to help you.
You should have the right to end your life, and if it's done medically, then you can still gather your friends and family around to say your goodbyes. while you can never do that if the only other option at the moment is the current ways of suicide, where no-one has closure.
@@OnceUponReddit 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️😂
I have watched this video more than once, and as a cold as steel person who has rewatched EVERY case on this channel... This one? Left a mark on me. I could not watch it again. I couldn't fathom watching it again, and that is saying a lot. This case? Breaks me. Tears me to pieces.
Love Mr ballet the fact he brakes every thing down for every one 2 understand he is brilliant 👏👍👌
Take a vacation to escape the nightmare that your home has become only to be preyed upon again by a complete stranger pretending to be a new friend. That poor family. Now he's the only one left. Such a tragedy.
Life Pro Tip: Don’t go on nighttime boat rides with a guy you just met on the side of a highway.
@Nachash If you think killing someone random you met on Tinder or whatever online service you catfish someone into meeting you is a great idea I hope you at least have the decency to off yourself before you’re caught, idk, immediately after.
@@boxinsteadyeddie Maybe he should just do that before he kills the person 😉
That woman was an idiot for accepting a ride, especially when her kids are with her!
Maybe he lied and said for them to join him and his wife or family and they were from a small town.
Tragic as this is, I almost think it's sweet how trusting they were. God bless them !
Some say it's a bad thing to think the worst of your fellow man, it's not. Most of the time it's a life saver, evil is real, never forget that.
I believe that there are more good people in this world than bad people
This crime is probably one of the reasons why people aren't as loose and open around strangers anymore. The 80s were a time where things like hitchhiking and hanging out with strangers were normal. But situations like this are so scary and sad. It's always better to be safe than sorry. The world is full of evil.
This is absolutely heartbreaking. The panic and fear those women went through is absolutely unthinkable.
It's situations like this that make me upset that the murderer gets such an easy death. He gets to relax and just go to sleep.
I'm a firm believer that anyone truly guilty, beyond a shadow of a doubt, of such horrific acts should be put to death in the exact same manner they used to commit murder. Eye for an Eye, not sleep tight!
It's terrifying to think that people, like this man that get a satisfaction out of bringing fear to others are still out there in the world. You might even know one.
@@bahmdiggity9577 That’s actually not 100% true. That’s what they used to think & told people. Most tiles, lethal injection isn’t nearly as “humane” as they’ve led people to believe. The one being led to death actually does suffer quite a bit. They feel quite a bit of serious “discomfort” before dying. Some don’t go to sleep, at all. They don’t stop till they die.
@@BrottenGuy I know what you are saying is true. I know adverse effects can happen. I'm sure those waiting for their death go through some agonizing fears of "oh shit".
However, I doubt that it compares to the fear and pain that their victims go through. If their victim were subjected to 10 hours of rape and torture, they should get 10 hours of rape and torture. There are a multitude of demented people in the world who do not act for fear of capture, put them to work. Sounds messed up right? It isn't if their particular proclivities have a way out by punishing someone who raped, tortured and murdered a child. Then rather than being a bane on society they have a purpose and a place. And if you were one of those people who had a thought it might be fun to give in to a twisted desire, you might think twice if you knew the punishment was as sick as the thoughts in your head.
I realize that this is a rant that can go on for hours and a debate that's as pointless as 'gender is a social construct', and the 'we should be better than the best of us and not lower ourselves to the depravity of the worst of us'. You have a valid point, I think I have a valid point, and it will change nothing.
To think.. not only could mom not protect her from “uncle”..she then loaded her on boat with strange man to be assaulted again..then killed. I can’t help but get angry with mom/dad for being so naive. I mean honestly, would you take your two daughters (with no man for safety) anywhere with a strange man? ESP a boat, in an unfamiliar state, with a man you had only a few second talk with prior? Gonna have to be more clever to get at my daughters.
All of Hal's suffering originated with his disgusting monster of a brother, and his terrible mother. I can't imagine how hard daily living must have become for him!
Yeah that would make me question everything
You hit that 100% on the head...
Amen.....hope mommy enjoyed knowing she backed a monster that started all this 😓
I'm sorry but something doesn't add up to me... I find it suspiciously unlikely this just happens on their vacation. " Oh no, you guys go ahead to florida, ill just stay here " Can't quite put my finger on it, but doesnt sound right. I would take a second look at the Father, I could be wrong but js
@@mitchellzastey Nah dude it’s a tragedy. I don’t think this was planned in any way😂 How would that dude just randomly find them if this was set up
This is beyond horrifying, I saw a documentary about this , can’t imagine what they went through when he put them alive in the water
That poor father losing them all is beyond sad
A few years back my mother and sister were on vacation in Dublin. On the flight, there was this charming guy talking to my sister (we're german, my mother is not speaking english, my sister was studying english at the time) about the whole flight, getting in touch with them. So when they were about to land, he offers them to come visit them at his house in the mountains, watching the sunset together. My sister was still REALLY naive at the time and thought this was a good idea. My mother, thank god, wasn't having any of it, but she couldn't understand what they were talking about. My sister even gave him the location of their hotel. Later my sister told my mother and she was shocked. They weren't leaving the hotel that evening but from their room, they could actually see the guy from their window, pulling up with his car, waiting for them. To this day I think, if my sister did this trip alone, without my mother, she'd be dead. Thank god my mother was there to keep her safe.
Traffickers use similar tactics as well. They kidnap people and sell them to the highest bidder. I'm glad your mom is level headed and knew it could be dangerous.
And I for one Commend your mother for having & trusting that all important sense and intuition..
Wow... scary close call
Great mom
Or she just missed out on the love of her life. 50/50 really
That poor dad. There are no words for what he's gone through.
Correction "going through"
I've watched almost all stories on Mr Ballen's channel. And this one, is the most emotional one.
Back in the late 60's I was s***x attacked by a family member, I had told my parents and they didn't believe me so for over 40 years it was swept under the rug so to speak, not to much longer than I did get my justice at my grandmother funeral. I conforted him in public in front of all the family members that were there. I went into details about that day.!!! he didn't realize that it was me until I started shouting at the top of my lungs every detail like it was yesterday..his wife left him so did his kids. My mom and dad slapped him across his face 😐, at that moment then I realized that both of my parents did believe me just didn't know how to help me. Being doing great ever since!! Our voices are loud enough and powerful enough for everyone to hear.
👏🏼💪🏼
What a monster. I think it hurts extra knowing that they were on a vacation because that one daughter had already been severely abused only to fall prey to a worse predator. Poor dad, knowing what happened to his family. So so so sad
The brothers mother thought the granddaughter was lying even though there were pictures?? You gotta love denial.
I think he said that the grandmother thought the pictures were real but that it was the little girl's fault for seducing her son / the little girls uncle
Pictures and recording
@@psykoShr00m Christ all-F’ing mighty. Grandma should be in jail too. I get not wanting to believe that your child could do something like that, but that woman caused a lot of havoc by not believing (being in denial of) her granddaughter.
@@aleewoolley yeah for real, people are messed up. Everyone likes to think that humans are the smartest animal on the planet, but I think we're the dumbest and the worst. After the next meteor hits the dolphin people will do much better than we ever could
@@psykoShr00m Let’s be honest, the Dolphin people are probably just swimming around biding their time and laughing at us at this moment. They know it’s coming.🐬
Even if they had declined the boat party, they were in danger already.
The guy knew were they were staying, and that there was only 1 woman and 2 teens.
They only made his job easier by accepting his invitation.
May Joan (Jo), Michelle, and Christie Rogers all rest in peace.
I remember seeing an interview that was done by a friend of the husband/father. He said that after the murder of his wife/children, he often slept on a family friend's couch. The family friends would leave their door unlocked so the husband/dad could come over whenever needed to sleep over.
That’s so heartbreaking. I can’t imagine how horrible he had to have felt. He lost almost everything, all at once.
Lost my partner about two years ago. I also find sleeping on my friend's couch more comforting than my own bed now... My late spouse and I didnt sleep together at night. Makes me wonder.

The more you fear something, the more it finds you. In this case, Michelle went through something pretty traumatizing, and against all odds, found herself face to face with another evil man. These creeps seem to have a trauma radar somehow. It's no coincidence that once someone experiences something traumatic, there is a high probability that they will go on to experience other traumas that are similar to some degree, if not worse ( in this case, raped again and then brutally murdered). This is actually a verifiable fact and I've come to realize there is a scary amount of truth to these statistics. You can't trust anyone, and it's better that you just don't. I'm wondering if some part of Michelle was actually hesitant about going, but decided to ignore it when her Mother and sister convinced her it would be okay. It's easy to believe that victims of horrible crimes are just overly paranoid, but maybe there is a legitimate reason for it, as the fearful are sniffed out from 100 miles away. How, I do not know. I just know it's a real thing.
As a trauma specialist, revictimization is so heartbreakingly common for so many even more heartbreaking and ruthless reasons.
You are completely right. I became a "magnet" for physically abusive men, despite looking for all the red flags and being so cautious. After the last one I escaped to a DV shelter, went through serious therapy and decided that I'm going to stay single the rest of my life. I've been happily solo for seven years now.
As if this family hadn't been through enough heartbreak, that poor man lost his entire family. My sincerest condolences to him & I'm happy justice was served.
Justice would only be served if the murderer had done to him what he did to them.
@@mjt1517 Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth
yes, this case makes me wish there really was a Dexter out there somewhere
That man got longer on death row than those girls got to live in their whole lives.
GOOD
You are so right! That monster should not have had 22 minutes to live after he was caught!
@DrFreudstein bro I'd be very sad if it was otherwise. We want him to feel the punishment. Most preferably let him rot until very old age like 75+ and then execute him before court replies to another parole wish.
@DrFreudstein you sentence them to death so they will never leave. mercy on execution leads to parole application.
rest is flavor of feeling the scum got what he deserved, at least what humans are capable of providing.
Such a devastating story, really devastating, but what on earth possessed mom to go on a boat with a man they had just met? I just can’t get my head around this 😢 xx
The last picture of the grieving father and husband is just so haunting
Never ever get on a vehicle with a stranger no matter how friendly they seem.

That poor father. Not only is he hating his brither and maybe mother, but his love of life ended by a serial killer for no reason.
Condolences to the dad. This really broke my heart
Yes,oh my......poor man...
😢 me too! Poor guy!
Not for no reason, I am sure he had a reason.
I have listened to a lot of stories of Mr. Ballen and other stories that have just been horrific to listen to but this one so far has shaken me the most. ☹
I remember this 80s story. MrBallen explain it so well with respect for the victims.
Only OG MrBallen fans will remember when he uploaded 3, 4, even 5 times every week
I miss that. RIP sometimes even 5 times a week.
Yup
Even if he didn’t do it it was just more catchy
😂😂
I feel ya....them were the good ole dayz!! Bait a switch! Not trying to come down on Mr.B but WHATS UP!!?
Can’t help but feel extra bad for poor Michelle. All that she went through with her uncle only to be murdered by another creep
What are the odds that she's gonna run into 2 psycho's like that. Just insanity....
Also sad that someone got her in contact with them as well, wasn't her own mistakes. First her dad having a psycho brother that lived with them, then her mom accidently making contact with that last killer.
That poor girl and her family had no luck whatsoever.
And those poor girls chosen this destination themselves, so so sad! they should waterboarded this guy for the rest of his life instead of deathrow
Demons are amongst us. Dont trust anyone! This is why I conceal & carry. I rather be a survivor than a victim. These monsters have the right to kill us..then we should use our right to protect ourselves ♡ stay safe out there
She definitely lost the dice roll with life terrible luck
Omgggggg I remember this from forensic files! This episode ALWAYS gives me the chills. Thank you for covering it and giving some more details the show left out! Yes, I’m a true crime junkie lol
Forensic Files made an episode about this.But hearing you tell it in story format 🤯 Well done Sir
Mrballen would be the best grandpa ever. Just imagine all the scary stories he's gonna tell his grandkids

Oh my gosh right!!!

The sad part is he didn't have to suffer when he died like his victims. He should have been given the same as he dealt!
Yup! The death penalty should be - you die the way you killed or assaulted👌
Problem is, there's nothing that could've been done to him to even come close to the suffering he caused. I just hope the existence those women are in now is absolute happiness.
Yes.. Absolutely...
The thing is, they give them a concoction of different drugs, I've red that some of them are very painful but one does not see any reaction from them because they are also given drugs that stops them from moving but not unable to feel pain. Some, who for some reason survived say its like all their veins are on fire while they also suffecate. Either way, they deserve more pain.
@@MarsLonsen came here to say this, they have found that lethal injection can actually be a very painful way to die. Ironic since we thought it was the most humane way once upon a time
I remember this episode of forensic files but you told it so beautifully. Really did justice to the three women’s beautiful but tragic lives
I shudder to imagine having to report my entire family missing, only to be asked for their dental records. What horror.
Knowing someone in your family hurt one of your children is devastating. Right under your nose is worse. But to lose them at the hands of another monster after going through that.... I cannot express how concerned I am for Hal's mental health. That poor man. My god.
The mom is at fault. She should have absolutely seen the potential danger of being out on a boat w some strange man. Worst thing is she had to witness her fatal error
@@EmperorNerox You're literally blaming a victim for being raped and murdered and watching her daughters be raped and murdered. Go sit in th idiot corner.
@@EmperorNerox And she didn't see the danger in uncle's behavior as well but it is unlikely that he didn't show the SIGNS. something in her mind blocked those red flags with abusers. so sad and painful
@@BrennaDraws The mom was at fault. She lacked common sense to say “no” and not show up hours later. She easily walked right into a trap. Yes, the victim is to blame here for lack of poor judgment. And yes, not all victims are to blame either, but she is to blame here for her stupidity.
@@bluetickbeagles116 yeah, of course, blame the victim. First of all, it's the killer's fault.
Secondly, many many many serial killers are extremely good at disguising themselves. Which is why even trained cops can be duped by them.
Thirdly, even if they were being naive, being from the countryside - that's not a fault, that's a human trait. Millions of people are from the countryside, and there is something wrong with a society that deems their behaviour wrong.
Fourth, if you advide girls and women to not trust any man, people also get upset and call you a "feminazi". What now?
What a sad story. Losing your loved ones and not being able to help 🙁 It makes you realize how precious life is. You only live once. Value what you have and just be happy. Don't take it for granted.
Some people rather be evil
"precious" is the word your looking for friend :)

When a stranger asks you if you’re lost, the only correct answer is no. Then you get the heck out of there.
That's a very negative view. Most of the time people are genuine and just want to help.
@@trendkiller6611 That's a very ignorant view.
Statistics show that almost 16.500 people in 'merica were killed in 2019.
damn straight
@@Schmorgus you have to remember the 80’s were different. That’s when children started to go missing more often, but we were still letting kids be kids. The adults, even the cautious ones like me mother, were having to adjust.
It really depends on who it is and where you are, and who you’re with. As a petite blonde woman, I’ve traveled the world and met plenty of good people who helped me find my way.
It’s more about reading people- understanding body language, understanding cultural expressions, and learning what kind of circumstances you were safe in. For example, in most cultures when families are out with their children, you have nothing to fear when a mother asks you if you are lost. That isn’t to say don’t trust your gut. That IS to say, not everyone is out to harm you.
I've told my Daughter that she should never worry about possibly offending someone that offers to help her, take a picture of them, their car and licence plate and send it to a loved one. If the guy is a predator, he won't be stupid enough to do anything to her.
Sadly, this crime took place before the age of cell phones.
I can't imagine too many people wanting to help your daughter.
If she thinks the guy is rich she will skip all that advice. Girls love a rich guy.

Some people watch stuff because it is truly entertaining but I also find it very educational. Just because something very bad has happened to you, doesnt mean it won’t happen again and doesn’t mean that something even worse can happen to you.
Anyway thank you for stories.

This story is like the living embodiment of the quote: *”Expecting life to be fair because you’re a good person-is like expecting a bull not to charge, because you’re a vegetarian...”*
None of them deserved the awful things that happened to them (especially Michelle and her sister😔).
Life can be so awful to the most innocent- and a broken/disfigured mind has the capacity to imagine all kinds of violently depraved cruelty to inflict on others ...it’s so sad and horrifying. 😔😔

@@rolandasmincenka1188 not sure how that quote is complicated. It's just saying "don't live in a fantasy". The "I should be able to X without worry" fantasy. The world has never and will never work that way. Bad people exist and they will do bad things. Don't make yourself a victim. Or rather, don't increase your chances of being a crime of opportunity. That's exactly what their mom did by making an unfathomably idiotic choice. I feel bad for all of them and massive sympathy for the dad but with the mom there's also bewilderment and anger. She holds significant guilt for their brutalization and torturous murders. All she had to do was be a parent and not take herself and young daughter's on a private boat, alone, with a random man in an area they don't know, all without telling anyone 🤦♂️ You'd be safer swimming in shark infested water.
I had only lived in Tampa Bay for a week when that happened. It still horrifies me to this day. That poor woman and her daughters… Oba Chandler rots in hell for eternity and I hope they don’t give him a minute’s rest!
When i was in Aruba we were looking for a boat attraction to go on and we asked 2 local men. They invited us to go on their own boat and they'd take us to the tourist locations for much cheaper price. I looked at my friend and simultaniously we both said no thank you. We paid 3x the price they were offering but we had a worry free excursion and we made it back home. There are risks you just dont take for the money. This story is horrific. I feel so bad for this father. He lost his entire family. Bless him
