The Deadly Passion of James Fairweather

- In the town of Colchester, UK, a man walking home met a horrific end. Horrific for this small, safe, English town. Then, three months later it happened again, and no evidence or clues were left behind. Almost a year later, a dog walker would spot a creepy boy hiding in the bushes - James Fairweather.

As always everyone, thanks for watching, ‘cause I love ya! If you wanna see two true crime videos every week please subscribe!
Really really love these videos
Thanks Mike. Always a pleasure to listen you talk about these stories. Better than any TV program.
🫶🏼💖❤️🔥💘💕💞☺️
Love you tooooo thanks for ur channel
How do I subscribe multiple times as I don’t want you to stop doing 2 a week! It makes my week so much better and I love hearing and seeing you!♥️
You’re my favorite by far! Much love and respect your sense of humor is my absolute favorite.
The fact that Crime Stoppers didn’t give her the reward money because she called the police instead of them is really kind of disgusting.
Aren’t they on the _same_ side?
Next time I report a Crime, or want to report something suspicious... I'm gonna surf the web looking for any possible rewards first... and well.... you know... if there aren't any on offer.... I might just hold back a little bit. When they finally do offer a reward... I'm not going to jump at it... let me wait a year or two... they may just increase the amount... then maybe I'll surf the net again... and just see if there are any other offers (like any 2 for one specials, or something)... hell, I'm not gonna rush in and fall for this nasty business of reporting a crime to the wrong authorities... (clearly there are there more than one "authorities"). Hard luck lady.... I feel your pain.
All comes down to publicity. They want to be seen as the incentive/reason someone came forward.
Cha-ching. That's what I call human decency
No, one is motivated by clout and offers a reward. The other is (hopefully) motivated by justice and does not.
Right? Because, of course, Crimestoppers is going to come out & get him..
@@Montina_Paullin yeah, crime stoppers will just review the info (who knows when) and at some point pass the info on to police (who knows when) by which time he would be long gone and most likely have found/killed another victim and again be long gone by the time the cops got anywhere near the area,
The fact that Michelle called the police first should not have anything to do with the reward that she is legitimately entitled to.
Absolutely disgusting 'cop out'. I'm pretty sure the police need to be on their way first, when someone is literally lurking in the bushes. It's not quite the same as 'yeah I fink my neighbour dun it, giz the money' 🤑🙄
Exactly, totally disgusting behaviour from crime stoppers 😡🤬
Yeah that pissed me off! She literally took a serial killer off the streets and gets nothing because she called the wrong people wtaf 😳
Yeah, fck crime stoppers. They're creating an incentive not to call police directly in time critical situations. If they've allocated money for the purpose of catching a particular criminal, they should pay out when someone does the thing they claim they want done.
Just goes to show how worthless and fake the BBC really is! Glad I didn't pay a licence fee for many years
"If you see someone being creepy, they are probably creepy." 🤣😂 You're the best Mike 😆
You, looked creepy....????
Actually not true. Women think guys are creepy period when being approached by any man they dont find attractive or that they dont want to approach them.
with a little beard, eyeglasses, and the HIGH "my name is Mike!!" like he used to do!! 💯💯💯
One of the things that irritates me the most is when people defend killers saying "oh they were bullied". They tried that with the Columbine kids, no in reality THEY were bullies. The Parkland shooter, HE was a bully. I got bullied tremendously all through my K-12 years, you know what it did to me? It didn't make me a killer, it made have MORE compassion for people, not less.
If he didn’t like being bullied he’s gonna really hate prison…
People are not defending killers, they're trying to explain why they became killers. An explanation is not an excuse. And understanding why these things happen is important to try and prevent these developments before shit hits the fan. People aren't born as killers, they become killers because of a multitude of different factors interacting with their given personalities.
You're right that not everyone who's bullied becomes a killer. But that doesn't mean much because everyone is different. Everyone's circumstances are different. Some people are more resilient, others are less resilient. You don't need to look at serial killers to see that: some people get over mental issues and survive while others kill themselves. And while people like to generalize, in reality, every case of bullying and every case of childhood trauma is unique in some way.
Personality-wise you have some major factors like a lack of empathy and a lack of impulse control. These can be caused by early childhood trauma but they can also occur naturally as a result of issues in the frontal cortex of the brain. There are famous cases of people becoming cold-hearted assholes after accidents destroying part of that region of the brain.
All in all these are highly complex issues that can't be waved away by saying 'I was bullied and I'm not a killer so it can't be because of the bullying'. Life is rarely that simple.
Me too! Or when they say "The poor guy. He needs help!" No, he needs to stop murdering people.
@@hansmahr8627 Lots of people are bullied and abused , and do not become killers.
I too was bullieed for being small and not a tough guy.
I fought back as well,as,I could. I survived without returning to violence upon the bullies in my life and they were taught a real bully lesson as prisoners in Vietcong prison camps at the hands of professional bullies.
Mike being creepy with a butter knife in the middle of a story about a sadistic killer is gold!
Not many people could get away with that type of humour during an upload containing content like this. Dude is a gem

@@CashelOConnolly comment only a minute old and already underrated
I LOVED that!!!
@@amu444 HILARIOUS as a MOFO!!!😁🤘
This man survived a car accident only to be *brutally* murdered. What a f*ckin fighter. Rest In Peace Jim ♥️
Talk about the worst of luck. What are the odds these things could happen to one person. That really sucks.
Murdered by this guy 12:25 🤪
Dude , when they first showed that video of him speaking, after he said he had been stabbed over 100 times. It broke my heart BIG TIME 😞 what a fucking sick coward 💔 tbh I don't shy away from violence, I actually kind of enjoy at times , times like when I come across someone who likes to pick on the weak and vulnerable. Truly a heart breaking story 💔
He had such a will to live .still alive after 102 wounds and a car crash.. just to lose his life shortly after...my heart goes out
@@millardf452 it wasn’t disrespectful?
The woman who called the police when she saw him lurking is really amazing! She likely saved her own life, and definitely saved countless others. It is really disgusting that she got ripped off by a system that incentivizes calling someone other than proper authorities first. I feel like that should be straight up illegal. Imagine if some ambulance chaser offered cash if you called them before calling 911? That's more extreme, but I just think what happened there was totally wrong.
It's so skeevy that crime stoppers have that little loophole; especially considering that that woman was so close to most likely being attacked. They KNOW that almost everyone's first thought is to call the emergency police line, and not Google the crime stoppers number. I guess crime stoppers is only good for strong leads that catch a killer, but i'm sure there are more loopholes they've figured out
Respect what they do in advertising crimes with reward money, but the fact that they dont give the money up unless theyre called shows the reward money isnt because they care, but because they want to become bigger and make more money.
@@turkeyman631
They shouldn’t advertise reward money tbh.
I wouldn’t call it a loophole. If the effect is that the public is vigilant and aware, they are helping reduce police workload by dealing with (real and prank) calls about sightings while a killer is on the loose… they have done their job. Crimetoppers at its peak was watched weekly by every household in the country, and offering that payout was what brought a lot of small criminals to justice. Our side of the bargain as viewers is that…Morality is being OK with doing the right thing over the lucrative thing.
@@msmiami212 Theres a chance your mixing up crimestoppers with the program crime watch (I think it was called). I remember it being on our tv a lot
@@msmiami212 no. People aren't altruistic. We do things for our own gain. If people felt they would be cheated out of that reward they definitely wouldn't be as vigilant. Sure they would report a crime but we would all do that. However they wouldn't go that extra step to protect others and over time they would lose trust and respect in policing authorities.
So they didn’t give this lady the reward money because she made the prudent decision to call the local and immediate law enforcement instead of CRIMESTOPPERS. It’s things like that that cause the populace to lose respect for the “authorities”. That being said I’d still be interested in hearing CRIMESTOPPERS justification for being so petty and risking their loss of faith by potential witnesses next time a serious crime happens and people that may only have come forward for the reward don’t.
Id just like to mention crimestoppers isnt an authority. Theyre an NGO afaik
@@christophernoneya4635 thanks for the clarification. Tbh I wasn't really comfortable with the term authority but couldn't come up with anything else 😕
@@christophernoneya4635 I know one of the guys that started crimes stoppers. I do think the lady should have received the reward money. The CEOs at crimestoppers make money.
I mean thats not authorities thats an organization that just wants to use the case to become more famous and make more money. But yeah, I get the sentiment with things that happen sometimes with police.
@@Raw_Roots Yeah, even if they gave half, $10k
I can't comprehend surviving 102 stab wounds for any length of time. That poor, poor man.
I think you go into shock and don’t feel it completely.
RIP poor Jim.
I can't comprehend someone being so dedicated to stabbin' they'd do 102 stabs. Hell, I won't take that many strokes at the driving range, and I'm trying to get better. It's a lot of work to do in somebody they didn't even know, right? I'd say "100 stabs and you're not dead? Fine. We'll call it a draw."
In most cases a person would have to carry a massive grudge or hatred for a person to stab them so many times. But someone so mentally unfit simply enjoyed it.
Poor lad deserved better.
And that lass killed in daylight by a 15 year old wing nut is frankly terrifying
I saw a story of a case where the criminal stabbed the man so many times they counted it would have taken him like 4 minutes straight. I forgot how many wounds but 4 minutes of straight stabbing 😳🤯
I feel bad for Nahid's brother. The day he wasn't there to walk her to school is the day she was so brutally butchered. Im sure that he is absolutely racked with guilt knowing that he should have been there to stop it and protect her. I really can't even imagine what that must be like to live with that. Hopefully his family can come to forgive him for this senseless, and horrific tragedy.
I wonder if he will get the hint, or if he’ll stick around?
he didn’t do anything wrong im from saudi arabia and it will never be his fault
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 hint for what
@@MultiTHEJOKER
They should have stayed in SA. I hope you did.
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 weird bigoted comment supporting that young women being murdered. You’re a creep.
I'm just so sorry for the deceased and their families. I'm so glad the dog walker saw him and was safe. His poor parents as well. We homeschooled our kids due to bullying. One of our sons needed extensive counselling because he ended up heading the wrong way. He wanted help though and he was soon back to his loving self. Glad they also pointed out that being autistic has nothing to do with being violent.
Bunnies take small, round cacas
This case pisses me off more than usual. This poor guy overcame so much and struggled with his disability and the judgment of others, just to be stabbed 102 times! And he was STILL ALIVE when he was found!
My heart really goes out... That's just fucked up. He really was a survivor... RIP Man. I hope you enjoy freedom from all the bodily inflictions you had here on Earth...
Also - *Creepy Mike and his Butter Knife* Stop being so adorable, like really. LoL 😂💖
Dude was a champion to have survived that.
Soooo Cruel
Totally & absolutely agree with that sentiment. It's absolutely maddening. Poor fucking guy. Awful.
God for this human response from someone who is connected to what was really going on in the content. Can't believe the former string of comments of people just saying how their day was and then wishing somebody else could have just a little bit of a better day and they were cheered up by this video and WTF? This story was truly sad that people just cannot tolerate any perceived deficiency in another person and have some empathy.
I didn't feel angry, just terribly sad. That poor soul. I had tears even.
I feel sorry for her brother. He must feel so guilty that she walked by herself that day and was murdered. That's so sad.
I was just gonna comment this same thing. I would be devastated, in his place. God help him and all the family members left to suffer in these horrible cases… 😪
I know. 😞 For the rest of his life, he will blame himself for what that monster did.
Why do you think so?
Why didn't she take the long route to school that day she had to walk alone???
@@HeyIwasaValedictorian It’s mentioned that the day of the murder was the only day the brother didn’t walk with her 😞
Well that was effing crazy. Those voices must've really had him scared to make him stab that poor man 100 times! I have no doubt this kid would've gone on to become a sadistic serial killer of that woman wouldn't have called the authorities. It's insane to think about how close she came to being the next. Fantastic and fascinating, as always, Mike! Thank you for your hard work. I love you too!
Mike, “mamma fuckin’ mia” completely took me by surprise and now my sides hurt. You’re a treasure mate
STABBED 102 TIMES AND FOUND ALIVE! Didn’t die for another 45 minutes.
Holy crap what a will to live.
A tough man with a huge will to,live. It’s sad that anyone does for such senseless nonsense like this.
I’m sure he was thinking of his kids and family 💔💔💔
That’s not how it works. I do understand your sentiment though.
Why ask me a question and then delete your question?
If he'd lived for a week, maybe. Not trying to diminish his life or staying alive. But 45 minutes isn't that long. Lots if people take a few hours to stop living after such an attack. Ie, pronounced dead at hospital is a common phrase. Not everyone dies at the scene
Michelle is brave! She knew something was off with the guy and called someone to make sure he doesn’t do anything else. She’s the hero in this story!
Thankfully she didn't just turn around walk away thinking it was none of her business
💯
Especially since the cops couldn't even find him 🙄
fanstatic woman
Yeah she is, she so deserves the reward money that’s crap they didn’t give it to her without her the cops had nothing.
My family appreciates mike so much, the way you construct your videos and don’t beg for likes and subscribers- is the reason I happily subscribed. (That and the content of course) not pretending you have to teach an adult what a like button is is so refreshing mike! We love ya
2 months after this video Mike started asking for subscribers. So disappointing. He got almost 2,000,000 subscribers and over 600 million views without ever once having to ask us to subscribe.
What in the world? She LITERALLY did what the name of their organization is......Crime Stoppers. She stopped a crime and more horrifically that was going to happen to her. WOW!
as a brother, i can't imagine the guilt Nahid's brother must've felt for not accompanying her that fateful day, even though it wasn't his fault whatsoever. very chilling...
I know, I hope it somehow finds some peace…
He
Especially coming from his culture where he is not meant to allow her to leave the house alone. Literally, everyone in his country and probably his parents will blame him as under Saudi law she can not legally leave the house without a male relative. She was probably only there because he promised to continue to chaperone her. Either way, when he gets back to Saudi they will see him as letting his family down and being completely responsible.
This will also convince them that allowing women out alone should never happen in Saudi.
@@AnyoneCanSee that's only true if his family are ultra orthodox, and even then you can go out by yourself, just not supposed to talk to any men unless accompanied by a male relative,
@@AnyoneCanSee All those women, oppressed in the name of various Gods.
I'm sick to death of conditions like Autism being used to justify serious crimes the vast majority of people on the Autistic spectrum don't commit murder he was simply an evil person who got a kick out of killing his victims.
100% in agreement. Not an excuse.
Absolutely agree
Ya that is infuriating. I would dare to say the autism had Jack shit to do with it.
My Daughter was a victim to lad who they said exactly that about, yet he continues to do things and because of that they are wary of ruining is life, what a freaking joke that is, sad things is he is only 15 now, people make mistakes but not these style mistakes, My daughter will be scarred mentally for life because of what he did. The police and social services, and everyone who uses that as an excuse should be ashamed.
Many also use having a bad childhood or being abused when they were young to justify theirs actions. But 99% of us never turned into murdering psycho. We just use our experience with misery and hardship to be better, more adaptive and resilient individuals than the majority. Those how uses such excuses are just evil murderers or abusers and such excuses shouldn't be relevant in court or anywhere else.
I love Mike's contempt and sassy attitude in this episode!!
This story is heartbreaking on all levels. A girl from my home country gone to study never came back 💔 and the weak ill man godness. And the worthless killer might get a life out of prison!
This all happened in my local area and I still remember the disbelief when he was caught and it turned out he was only fifteen, it's horrifying to think what he would have gone on to do if he hadn't been caught so quickly considering he had already escalated to that point when he was still just a child. The lady that reported him saved a lot of lives and absolutely should have been given that reward money.
Same I remember it quite well, my sister was James' tutor at his school. We lived only round the corner on Margaret road. AND I worked part time at the uni at the time lmao. I was not allowed to bike to work until we all found out what happened.
Absolutely terrifying isn't it. Sadistic serial killer
Same here. I used to live 2 doors down from him and I must have walked past him in the street hundreds of times. Ive got a morbid curiosity about this kid. I've heard about violent people from movies and such but I didnt ever think there would be a guy like that about 2 doors down from me. Scary stuff.
The fact that she didn't get the reward money absolutely baffles me! I've never heard of that, thanks for the heads up man!
She'd have qualified for the reward if she called Crime Stoppers, but she'd likely be dead. That's so screwed.
Yeah that is farked up.
Yeah, that stood out for me, shame on Crimewatch
@@onlyme219 Crimewatch Uk is a BBC tv programme, but Crimestoppers is the charity that put up the reward. Without Crimewatch, the witness wouldn't have known about the 'italian jacket'
@@zoranblackie5921 Everything you've told me I knew and agree, I live in the UK, I'm English
By this guy's logic, I should have been an absolute monster. I was mocked for my big ears growing up and my dad was an abusive alcoholic. Shockingly, I'm relatively well adjusted minus a few dead dad jokes. And I have fully embraced my elf ears. What a monster I am.
And the Oscar goes to MIKE for his reenactment of creepy knife killer hiding in the bush 🤣🤣🤣🤣 pleaseeee don’t ever stop. Your videos have helped me keep my sanity. Thank you!!!
Michelle should have gotten the reward. If it wasn’t for her they wouldn’t have gotten him or at least would have taken longer to solve the murder.
gotta say that you bringing up the yorkshire ripper made me do a double take. He doesn't crop up often! My mother was a witness to those crimes, and she believes the wrong person was prosecuted. She actually wrote and published a book about it and how the police didn't take her, her stalker, or her questions seriously
He didn't have voices in his head, he was just hearing conversations from a few miles away with those giant ears!
Being from Philadelphia, the Kensington Strangler was a huge case out here. You should take a look at it and maybe “give it a goo”
Yes! Agreed.
Goo
Case closed……..u did it 🤡👍
u mean, "give it a goo..!"
~all in goodness...!
Goo
I really appreciate the respect you show the victims and the total disrespect for the criminals. As it should be.
Should he dick around so much during his shows? Eg. When he's doing an English accent for some dumb reason in this episode. Whilst the material is interesting and he presents it well, mostly, there is a time and a place for being silly. When reporting on cases such as these in this episode, one of which involves someone who was stabbed over a hundred times? Is that being respectful? I'd say it's hardly necessary and more than a little offensive.

'EVEN HAS TWO TESCOS' has become my quote of the month.
It's often the seemingly quiet and unobtrusive people who turn out to be the most dangerous ones.
It also seems that James lived a very reclusive existence, and probably didn't have any really close friends.
One can never read a book by its cover, so be wary, everyone. Knife crime is now at an unprecedented level.
Was having an absolute sh*t day. A new That Chapter helps a little. Thanks for the distraction & great content, Mike.

Yoda ears lmao 🤣🤣
Won't he be 54 at release? Easily still dangerous. Maybe I heard incorrectly.
No he got life with a minimum of 25 years but that’s if he gets parole. He most likely will never get parole because of how heinous the crimes were

Best comment. Also RIP to the victims. 😢
Yes I totally agree! When she had to walk them over to him was enough all in itself to get the reward $$$. Very sad for the victims families.

"His hair was described as two to three inches tall." Never heard hair described in height before. Also "he was quite short; excuse me, he was clean-shaven"... how the hell do you screw those two up?!?

We called a buddy of ares radar in school because of his ears and will called him ears. I had another friend with big ears too.

OMFG Mike I about fell to the floor laughing when you said "Mama F****** Mia" wasnt expecting but as usual your humor is right on!
Ok. Your completely original storytelling skills are actually creating an entirely new art form. The bar just keeps rising for the competition. You're the best Mike.
🙄
What's the new art form?
I have watched several other true crime channels, but none come close to Mike and how he tells the stories. I believe I have watched every episode of That Chapter, but only a few of the other ones. Most are kind of monotone, or they use gimmicks like putting on make-up while relaying the information. The worst are the ones where it takes them an hour or more to tell the story, and they're mostly reading the script with little or no video or other supporting pics. Mike, you're the King of True Crime on CZcams--you rule!
I thought this bordered on disrespect. It's one thing to mock the criminals for getting caught and whining about themselves etc and entirely another to make light of two brutal murders in which a woman had her eyes cut out while she was alive.
Do you think you'd find him standing there with a knife for laughs funny if that was your child? I hope he rethinks that sort of thing as these crimes are not a joke.
@@AnyoneCanSee I understand what you're saying, but you're kind of blowing it out of proportion. We all have a caring heart for the victims but we dont know them personally. Not that much attachment. Hes definitely not being disrespectful, he is just telling a story in PG format, how I see it anyways. It's a very easy listen to truly brutal events. Overall hes just watering it down and its entertaining the way he does it.
Poor James. As a professional who worked in the mental health field for 40+ years, I'm astounded by the lack of support this disabled man had. He should have never been out alone drinking at night.
Unfortunately, we see more and more of this, with less and less care for these people. Hate to mention this, but the Highland Park shooter guy falls into this category. It is absolutely tragic.

I find it very disturbing how most of the comments mention Michelle or James but not Nanid. She isn't even dignified with an actual photo. She was a PHD student who only lived there for 6 months and the one time she is alone she was murdered.
I am not trying to say that one victim is more important than another but the lack of comments grieving her death is genuinely disturbing.
I was just reading through comments and thought exactly the same. Her tragic end seems to have got lost in the story. RIP to her. She also suffered terrible and senseless brutality and my heart goes out to her family.
I imagine not a lot was said publicly because it is against their religious rules for a woman to walk in public without a man. I’m sure his parents really laid into him for this not only for the sin by also for not protecting her. Also, women aren’t allowed to take pictures of themselves because it’s vain. Chances are there aren’t any pictures of her since she was five years old. That’s why the news doesn’t have any pictures because there aren’t any. I can’t imagine how on earth she could find vanity when she’s dead.
Isn't it down to her family to provide pictures? It is easier to find sympathy for someone we know the face of...
@@AM2K2 Really? I don't need to see a face to have sympathy or empathy. I didn't think in any way it was necessary.
@Night Haze I think it might be because there wasn't much information on her case. It might be due to the family not wanting alot released but that's just speculation on my part but I agree with you, she came to this country to better her life and probably thought of it as a safe place and sadly only got to enjoy it for 6 short months and it ended in such a tragic way. He should have had to endure what they went through for his punishment because jails are not punishment or a deterrent in fact alot live better inside jail than out and I'm speaking from experience, it was basically a 6 month holiday I got. Alot of these creeps are living it up while their victims family's suffer, too much emphasis is on the criminals rights and not victims, criminals should loose most rights when sentenced like TV's, game consoles etc they lost those rights when they couldn't live civilly in the community, it's disgusting in my opinion.
This is the first channel I’ve ever checked in with every week like a real tv show for this series. Also the first series I’ve binged watched like it’s Netflix lol I appreciate you Mike!
Man, I was always made fun of for my giant ears too, I’m glad it never drove me to murderous intent.
Can you imagine how Michelle felt when she realised it was actually the killer she saw 😲 she's very brave and lucky
"I guess we're very lucky that only a small fraction of people are bullied in school and have one of their grandparents passaway.....otherwise we'd be up to our necks in serial killing wank bags...." Yup.... you hit a home run every time Mikey!
Wankbags is my new favorite descriptor
that was priceless
That's actually a grave misunderstanding of human psychology. People who commit murders like this didn't end up that way overnight. It's a multitude of factors, so of course not everyone who was bullied and had a death in the family will go onto kill. Until we gain a better understanding of such things, we'll just continue to think these people are just "bad" people. It's much more complex than that.
@@VioletJoy Pretty sure that was just a joke lol.
@@Boodoo4You I'm pretty sure he believes that. It's not funny.
Thank goodness for dog walkers. They've "solved" so many horrific incidents.
Also I recently read about the case of Cherish Perrywinkle! Heartbreaking story. Might be worth looking into. Love your videos :)
"When you see someone being creepy, they are probably creepy"
- Mike, 2022
Added to my book of random advice
people who attack homeless and passed out drunk people are too cowardly to even attack someone that can defend themselves. their level of cowardice is at the same as those who randomly shoot tons of people at a parade. The level of commitment to their act being their final act is all that separates them.
It’s not hard to commit to atrocious activities. Sometimes, it’s the only thing someone can commit to
Dont you even know what will happen if someone tries to attack someone who could defend themselves?
It’s so heartbreaking seeing videos of that poor sweet man talking, then seeing him walking with that little bit of a limp and just trying to hang out and live his life. Ugh. My heart breaks. I wanna cry. Seeing videos of the victims makes it so much more real than just seeing a picture or two. 😢
My love the the families of both victims. Senseless and heartbreaking. And a medal for Michelle thanks x
Mike, you have accompanied me since I was pregnant, after I gave birth, during those sleepless nights of my baby cluster feeding and now my baby is five months old, you’re still here with me. I have mild PPD and your videos help me feel a lot better. Thank you!
Congratulations and I hope you are doing well! Much love to you, Moxxi during this turbulent time ❤💙❤
Congratulations. Yes I was the same way as you. My whole pregnancy till now I still watch him and haven’t missed a video upload.
Omgosh same!! My little one is 1 now, I’ve been watching Mike for much longer than my son has even existed 😆
I wish you the best on your journey, things will calm down and get a bit easier, hang in there, it’s not easy especially when you’re down and soooo exhausted, I know, sending you love ❤️
So strange, I discovered Mike the same way!! Over 2 years later and still so happy to be here! Glad that you are here too ❤️
Can someone share what PPD is please?
I just glanced up and saw your almost 1.67 million subs and I have to say, I feel a little special, seeing I was in the first wave in your beginnings.
It’s good to see you’re so successful as a storyteller. Kudos for you!
He is a great story teller. Just like Mr Ballen.
@@13r12ad Agreed. 👍
I feel the same way! Here since the sci fi and urban legend videos and very very happy for Mike!
@@13r12ad Mr. Ballen is an excellent story teller, but he embellishes way too much for my tastes.
those voices are called DEMONS. man I feel so sad. his poor victims. this really broke my heart. the first victim was truly heartbreaking, the second too
Nah. They're untreated mental illnesses.
This woman dodge death by a whisker, by being so observant she not only saved her own life but potentially many others from this evil monster. Disgusting that crimestoppers didn''t give her the well deserved reward!
When I was young if someone had big ears, it was commented that “he could fly to Guam with those ears!”
Thanks Mike. I am enthralled by how well you do each episode. And your humour, it is perfect.
Guam seems so specific… lol
It's misandrist to mock big ears. At least it was back in those days. Women and girls could just hide their ears with long hair.
My late girlfriend always said "He looks like a taxicab comin' at ya with both doors open".
@@stormbourbon8379 That's a paraphrased Howard Hughes quote. He said it about Clark Gable and his unfortunate ears.
Here in New Zealand my Dad and people of his generation (baby boomers) called anyone with big ears, "Charlie", after Prince Charles.
I believe that in prison, big ears are known as 'love handles'. The wardens think they're just talking about belly fat....
@@millardf452 😂
I love your song DeShawn! WHeRes my b*%t"%!!! She gone 🚶♀️lol
Omg 😆 Ahahahahaha tooo funny ; i’ll ask my nephew he works in the Edmonton Alberta high security prison 😉
Bwahahaha😂🤣😂
That Millard F person is literally trolling every thread, it's PATHETIC. Don't feed the trolls.
Being bullied is not a good excuse. My sons were bullied about their small size. Their teeth, which were fixed later. Their hair color, red. Children are cruel. I was bullied because I would not talk. I was extremely shy. My hubby was bullied because of his small size. He is only 5ft 6 and very thin. That is never a good excuse. I would think most people are bullied in school.-. She deserved the money for getting that monster off the streets. Crime stoppers shame on you !!
I heard of this story when it first happened, was really surprised when i heard you say my hometown, it really did shake up the whole town, i work at the university and it took everybody a long time to recover and feel safe again. thanks so much for the amazing story telling and showing respect to the victims.
Mad respect for Michelle, she’s a true brave heroine: only Goddess knows how many lives she saved thanks to her courage and her quick action. Because, I mean, she even had to walk the useless policemen to the bushes where this coward piece of trash was hiding: thank you, Michelle!!
Yes, thank God.
@@chuckfrazier2007 No..
@@lilithowl yep
@@SeanTR420 🤦♀️ Ffs, she's praising the poor woman. You're only taking the focus away from her by pulling this nonsense. You're no better than the Jesus freak three comments up.
@@WobblesandBean Sean was obviously addressing the 'Jesus freak' as you call him, and not the original commenter.
I seriously laughed at 12:23 and again at 17:32 🤣🤣🤣
I know this is serious; but, dam*it, Mike, I love your humor!
Love from northern Indiana 🇺🇸
As you always say! Love you Mike! An your content! You are an amazing story teller! Feeling the grief for the victims, an the shame for the damn psycho’s! I will forever be ‘Giving it a Goo’! Thank you my friend! 👏🏻
love watching the community grow. Been here since around 350k; proud & excited to see That Chapter hit 2m subs in the next few months ❤️
I always feel bad for the victims in these, but the first guy, Jim/James, really got me, due to the fact my mother also got brain damage from a car accident when she was in college. A portion of her occipital lobe just died off, with no chance of recovery, so she saw double when she woke up and had to learn to write with her left hand, among other things. And she wasn't even the worst effected. She's learnt to deal with it, of course, but I just wanted to tell everyone to take driving seriously, don't do it if you're drunk or sleepy, and try to always keep your eyes on the road! Also always carry something to defend yourself wherever you're going to, if you're going alone. Be safe.
Don't 'carry' anything to defend yourself because if you're stopped you'll be charged for possession of an offensive weapon. Just be careful, walk in lighted areas and keep tour windows up and doors locked. And don't give strangers lifts etc...but carry something is just going to land you in trouble.

102 stab wounds? That takes a lot of effort. I hope he didn't suffer all 102 of those in a conscious state. That would be horrible. It is horrible regardless of how many he received but...whomever did that...it's just crazy. I get tired just prepping stuff in the kitchen. I couldn't imagine the effort nor the desire to do that to another human being, especially someone who's disabled.
Poor guy. The one time he doesn't walk with his sister.... I couldn't live with that kind of pain...
“He disappeared like a 💨 fart in the wind” … brilliant analysis!
They arrested him for having a small pocketknife?
That kid is the real life Steve Smith from 'American Dad'. Looks just like him.
Steven Anita!!
Been watching the later seasons over the last few days.
Man i honestly never comment on videos . but you definitely did a perfect timing today. Id like to thank you for putting in so much of your time and efforts into your videos. I always look forward to watching
@ Bowens Robert Like you, I rarely comment on any platform, but with Mike's videos I often feel compelled to. I agree with your sentiment "thank you for putting in so much of your time and efforts into your videos" well said.
Sitting watching you as I recover from surgery I love you so much how you tell it like it is! Rock On!!
Mike is the best true crime story teller, epic sense of humour and really interesting cases!
Mike, I’m always thoroughly impressed with how you can be so informative and serious about the criminal, so respectful of the victims, and yet still make me laugh out loud (you being “creepy” with the butter knife and trench coat. Lol). Thanks for being my favorite CZcamsr!
Ikr😆
For the love of Mike 😳🤔🙃🤪
100% agree with you! Mike is in his own lane in originality in that he can be lighthearted but always respectful to the victims and their families.The other channels have some decent content although it's always SUPER SERIOUS..
So excited to listen to a UK case I hadn't heard of before. Thanks Mike!
Hey love your channel. Welcome to the crazed world of us Brits 😳.
It was covered by one of the British TV channels some years ago (I saw it on CZcams in 2020 or '21), but I'd prefer to hear about true crime from Mike.
“if you heed the advice that’s given, then you’ll be alright” is such a twisted and victim blaming statement to make.
I love the way you tell the stories with video and interviews etc. It's just right !!
You're comedic timing is spot on and then you let us know exactly what you think of these pieces of "shite", the up and down of your story telling is fascinating. Thanks Mike, love ya too.
I love it Mike 😀 "It even has two Tesco's" This case is disgusting, the poor Lad he was so defenceless and vulnerable I'm pissed of. Why do good people have to suffer 😞. I want to kick the absolute sh*t out of that thug who did that to him and the poor sweet girl. Mike your the best 👌 Love ya. ❤
What is a Tesco?
@@sassysarina9718 if you know what a supermarket is: one of those…
I'm from Colchester!! I remember seeing this as a kid, it was awful
"If you see someone being creepy, they are probably creepy."
Mike, thank you so much for using James’ real name, not the sensationalist nickname that callous journalists gave him in order to make themselves more money! It’s important to highlight that murderers are humans, not bogeymen or glamorous antiheroes/villains. You’re one of the good ones and your work reflects that
i grew up in colchester and was living there at the time these murders happened. colchester is a nice little town to live in, very old looking (yes we do have 2 MASSIVE tescos lol). i remember the terror when the first murder happened and everyone was terrified. my brother is autistic and we stopped letting him go out on his own as we were worried this was a hate crime. it really shocked everyone.
also worth mentioning that they refused to admit that the 2 murders were linked and were trying to convince people that they were 2 seperate incidents 😬
@@hayleylouise7051 I've been all over the world bc of being in the army and deployments. I still I've hearing a female with your accent! I am just a sucker for it!
Love your crime stories, especially how you tell them. Very unique! Thanks for sharing with us.
"If you heed the advice that's given, then you'll be alright"
Sounds like famous last words to me.
Mike you must work very hard and put allot of time into research and putting together these videos. just wanna let you know I and I'm sure everybody else, deeply appreciate all your hard work. These vids are great. Keep em comin
Yeah especially when it broke their religious rules that women aren’t allowed in public without a man. You know he REALLY got laid into by his family. Also, they can show her pic now. How can she be vain when she’s dead?
Absolutely 💯 agree with you!
You should check out Mr Ballen
Yes, please! Keep them coming!

@@user-qw4ud5cj6j yes! He's great at what he does. Almost no comedy - except for some outtakes - but very compelling narratives about the strange, dark, and mysterious. He's moving across the country right now, so new material will be missing for a couple weeks. Watch any of his videos and put your seat belt on!
"Mommafuckinmia" I laughed so hard I cried at that one Mike!! RIP to the ones whose lives were cut short. Scary people we walk around with everyday.
Mike being creepy...with a butterknife...I'm dying
Your the man mike! Following you since day one !!
