I actually caught the show within 15 minutes of posting.

I have severe TMJ and wearing most earbuds causes pain to shoot down my face. Raycon earbuds are comfortable, cause no pain and I wear them for hours. They're definitely worth the investment

Want a human cat?

I know you hear this all day everyday but I just want to take a moment to tell you that I look forward to you and your videos bc they help me to get through my day. So thank you so much. And I love your sense of humor

thanks for the 20% on that raycon earbuds bruh🫵🏾💪🏾

Sorry to about your poor meow meow.

😢so sorry. ❤

So Sorry about your Mango. It hurts to lose furry family and most people don’t get it.

Awe my heart goes out to you. Glad your precious cat was able to have a great home and parent❤

The lose of a true friend is sad.sHe will always be with you in spirit.

He’s parroting lines he’s heard. He’s mimicking his former boss a lot of the time, who himself was being selfconsciously retro, playing some sort of Dashiell Hammet politician of the 1940s.

And took away the freedom and lives of 3 innocent strangers for no reason.

I thought the same thing when he said that!!

i was going to comment this. he just threw away his freedom for no reason

He's mentally unstable. Crazy doesn't make sense.

Absolutely

As different as one's bowel movements 😮.

To be fair this was peak twilight’s saga era .

@@victorpena3129 that’s the vibe 🤣

@@victorpena3129 🤣🤣

He did, maybe that's why he lived in such a quiet area, so that he achieved such a high %

High score!

😮😢

​@@chastitylockridge4008😂😂lmfaao this made me laugh

Adjusting for comparison That's an equivalent murder rate of 1376 per 100,000 for the town The rate for the whole US is 6.3 per 100,000

Exactly!!!

He IS locked up for the rest of his life.

How did he stop by the house and not leave a vehicle there? He had to be dropped off or was with someone else… father in law perhaps

wow you don't say??😂😂

@@Dawna-gp1zk no parole?

No Human is Innocent. Neither has there's Life lost to a Psycho.

​@@dennishorror142you can't possibly believe little humans aka children aren't innocent? Especially when comparing them to adults .... either way. Victims are all innocent to the point that they don't deserve to be murdered. Except pedophiles.....

I would think the optimistic just infer the "coverage of the content." You are considerate to glare at the faux pas of the compliment structure. ❤

I hear where you're coming from, but i think for me, it's his personality that makes the difference. The topic is horrible but people engage with true crime content sometimes for very personal reasons, and that personality goes a long way. There are more than a handful of good true crime presenters, but different people enjoy a different kind of presentation. To be honest I think i would listen to Mike talk about any topic. I couldn't say the same thing about the guy who hosted the americas most wanted shows i watched with my grandma growing up.

Wtf with replies?

I've always thought this too. Like the type of guy that posts those Joker images with 'deep' quotes with it... like 'The joker tells my story' type of sh!t, can't stand it lol.

Or when they fake insanity by portaging tv crazy. It’s so cringe

I love your brutal, honesty and self self-awareness.Keeping that way and don't follow the crowd who has turned to apathy

The best way to remind yourself that you are in fact a good person is to do good acts. Continue to be kind, considerate and give people the benefit of the doubt. You really can’t go wrong being kind. However as we are all here on Mike’s channel I’ll add that it is also essential to trust your instincts if someone gives you a bad feeling, and especially if they give you a reason not to trust them.

The fact that you are even questioning the possibility tells me you are not a narcissist. Trust me they never wonder about that. They think they are perfect.

You're definitely not narcissistic. Narcissist don't care if they are narcissistic even when they're aware.

If you wondering if you the narc you most likely not. Who ever makes you wonder if you a narc is probably the narc and they gaslighting you

Just wanted to say thank you for what you do. I’m sure that wasn’t an easy job, and probably emotional at times. It takes special people to be in those roles and change lives. 🤍

I was mistakenly placed in a "troubled teens" program after my brother died. Even if I wasn't supposed to be there, I am forever grateful for the adults who worked with us and gave us a lifeline. know there are kids out there who are just as grateful for the work you put in for them

@@mischr13 A young man in my group home was in a situation where his mother had passed recently, and he (a minor) and his younger sister were being neglected by their father. The father was reported to child services, and the minors taken into care. He was in no way a "troubled teen" and ended up in my house only because we had a bed. Fortunately, he had an older brother (by a year or two) whom he was able to go live with once he reached 18. Thanks.

No question about it- that old man is in it up to his fuzzy eyebrows! This kid was manipulated as sure as Im gonna buy some Raycons!

@@marygonzalez5907 The kid sure didn’t need much of a nudge. Before he followed the first victim out to the shed - knew the child was home, he knew the guy who popped by was a random neighbor, and he decided to do it to them anyway.

Also the boy's mother! Sent him on a visit for Father's Day. 😢

Interesting! 😀

Not necessarily true. I lived for years in a legitimate hamlet, complete with a "Hamlet Office" and an Anglican Church. In fact, I worked for the church in those days.

Hamlet....group of houses without church or central meeting place !! I lived in little bousullow,cornwall uk....' a hamlet'....5 houses and a farm....

I would classify it as a Borough

Plfjmbllhfmbjfmbl42lsj😊​@@garykeeping8827

Lol. That doesnt happen to people who haven't had a mug shot does it?

​@@kenw2225I would say that it's not fair to use a *victims* worst moment of their life after *they are murdered*

@@kenw2225 tbh the kind of people I know who make fun of people for stuff like this are the ones most likely to have a mug shot from some selfish a-hole crime like a DUI, so I'd watch how I talk to people lol

Agreed, especially when, as in this case, the crimes are minor and way in the past.

​@@kenw2225this is the USA innocent people get arrested all the time Arrested doesn't equal guilty and often guilty doesn't mean someone did something morally wrong

I know everyone who has had a child that age put their child in that spot and died inside imagining his fear. Imagine his last moments . Bless him.

A "Psycho"is the antithesis of one who is "sane"..I know what you're saying..I couldn't agree more.. but that fact remains.. You don't lack empathy though! 😊

Very contradictory lol

He killed the boy so that the child wouldn't be able to identify him.

Agreed !

In true sociopath/psychopath style, he has decided to relate to the older cop in the suit as if they’re equals - by using the verbal delivery & mannerisms of his former employer, the hokey old politician in the suit. If you watch the stump-speech again, the guy is doing a style of ad from the 1940s/50s, when he himself was a kid.

Yes,he’s definitely a comic fan or a weeb. He thinks he’s Thanos or something.

Like Crime & Punishment ~

It's concerning when individuals exhibit a sense of superiority or detachment from the gravity of their actions, especially in such serious situations. This behavior can be manipulative and harmful, further perpetuating harm rather than acknowledging the pain caused. It's important for justice to be served with empathy and accountability. My thoughts are with the affected families as they navigate through this difficult time.

@@wcrimeusaYou sound like ChatGPT.

xD

it was personal for her, not for him

man strength?

Ummm a teen boy could stop a older woman let alone a man!?!?!

​@daryldixon3685 you have no idea what a mother is capable of.

Bologna!! 😂

He was a horror show.

Lmao

Well, he *_is_* pretty. Just ask him!

Especially with Kraft written on his pin.

Yes! I said the same thing.

It’s clear that he thinks he has some sort of tragic, theatrical prowess and loves to hear himself do several brooding monologues. So cringe.

That’s actually a misconception, mostly due to Hollywood. Bragging and enjoying attention is the hallmark of a narcissist. Many serial killers are narcissists, but not all

I'm curious what do the ppl there think was the real motive?

Do you have internet there? Lol

Lmfao like the courthouse was going to be a completely different one? Obviously it would be the same one

I'm from southern maine... Definitely odd hearing about a triple murder in Maine.

​@@endofquoterepeattheline7516umm obviously

Everyone in an interrogation is the center of attention. The entire world is revolving around them in that moment. Dont be silly. Acting like you can judge someone when their in this situation is naive at best. The detectives are making everything in their whole world about them in that moment

​@@kenw2225would you agree that not everyone enjoys it?

Or Christian Bale

I was thinking he resembled Val Kilmer in the old days.

@@lisamh9037 Exactly.

That's the difference between narrators and storytellers. He's a storyteller. It's something complex that you can't learn.

Psychopath.

I love this man! He does tell a good story even if if a sad story. Ty Mike❤

@Bren Because he has no feelings and has mastered the art of glibness? Maybe that's why he got rid of the psycho glasses?

Mike spends a lot of time identifying with the victim, their family, the investigators, and spends a lot of time making fun of the criminal. He may make light of certain facts but mostly to make them easier to take.

😂

Wow, good spot.

Or, he nodded because he was sure there's indeed no good reason, only the sinister ones...

Like Jodi Arias!

I see your point but they aren't allowed contacts it jail.

That was a pathetic attempt at a rationalization of bad doings.

No, no. Never the same. My daughter will always be a shadow over the way I relate with my son and all of my grandchildren. I can see her in their eyes.

I can attest to that. My brother died in 1968 and I still miss him. It leaves a hole in you.

He was parroting truisms and “philosophical” platitudes he’s heard in movies and soaps and stored away. He has no real comprehension of them, or how inappropriate they are in this specific context. And literal lines from old B-movies. “He was young, too young..” Listen at his old boss the politician and you see where he gets these “solemn” pompous mannerisms. But that guy was doing it as a self-consciously “old-fashioned” schtick. Thayne doesn’t realise this. Do you remember Russell “I’m gonna release my bipolar!” The lady who knew him (her son was also autistic) and had taken him under her wing after she found him wandering about in a wifebeater vest in subzero temps, hungry - she said most of his conversation was made up of script lines like these.

He got SCARED 😂😂😂

you watch these videos without locked doors?

I live down in southern Maine in Biddeford! What part of the state are you in? Anything north of Bangor feels like a different country!

​@@cuddlecakes7153 Maine has alot of firearms. Lol

I grew up in town [Bangor] so I lock my car etc. Yes I leave my car running when I stop into the store for my breakfast sandwich. My best friend has lived out here all her life. They don't lock the door. The again the pit greets you.

​@@Qbgarden Yes very true. Oh btw I live alone with my kids beside the woods

I'm sorry ❤

🏆🤣

I was thinking he sounded like Tom over-acting Cruz. 🤔

@lisamac2764 omg yes! I can't stand Tom Cruise and I know Christian Bale has an English accent naturally, so my opinion has changed

more like Anakin Skywalker in the prequels

That's what I said, Tom Cruise!@@lisamac2764

What's the connection to Amityville?

@The.answer.is_42_ the original Amityville was a family slaughtered in a home in amity in another state.

Damnityville

different towns no connection

@Lindsey87754 no crap 😂😂

@lisacanavan5665 Thank you so much! I heard that and wondered what the heck he was saying. Figured it was some young person slang. Turned out to be some Irish man lang.

And what about you - probably watching those cases for exactly as long ...? 😉

⁠@@a.mie.533yeah but I was just talking about this the other day if you think about it this is his job. He does all of the research spends countless hours just on one video while we consume 20 -60 minutes of it one time and forget about it. It has to have some kind of mental effect .

@@FreedArt never underestimate the mind's ability to compartmentalise.

@@a.mie.533I only occasionally watch if there's nothing else to put on the background while I paint, I could handle one or two episodes but if I were to watch more than that it affects me for the rest of the day. I enjoy TC because he doesn't delve into the graphic stuff that most channels do.

It’s a living…

Mikey's approach of sharing stories with respect, facts, knowledge, and compassion, while also incorporating bits of humor to lighten the mood, can indeed be a more relatable and humanizing way to discuss difficult topics. The ability to balance seriousness with levity can make information more digestible without diminishing its significance.

It's not mikey. It's Mike.

My husband was never into true crime, then I came along and he still isn’t but he loves me and will watch That Chapter on Tuesdays and Fridays with me and bought us matching That Chapter shirts that Mike put out.

Same! My partner isn't into true crime like me, but will now ask "can you put true crime Mike on?"

A win. Shell probably be a full on Mike fan pretty soon

I’m in my first long distance relationship of my life. It’s been about two and half years and oddly enough, it’s probably the best relationship so far, no pun intended.

Is saying "my partner" a thing now because somebody claims to be offended by being referred to as someone's husband/wife, boyfriend/girlfriend, my man/my woman or something. No offense intended, I'm genuinely curious cuz I'm old now and I get confused trying to keep up with all the games that get played with language these days... Used to be pretty easy back when "partner" was pretty much reserved for occasional use like if your uncle, the 40+ never married "confirmed bachelor" finally gotten into a relationship with a "significant other" that nobody talks about in front of grandpa...

That's what Pennywise WANTS you to think.

@@Timfishoh2759I needed that laugh today, thank you 😂

Whenever I fantasize about running away from my life here I always dream of Maine. No one will find me.

Fellow Mainer here, and I agree, except the ghost part!! (Amanda)

That politician wannabe was definitely sus. Not a good role model for sure.

My thought exactly.

Yeah, the patterns of this kind of situational experience has shown that to be the case. Predatory help

It's definitely concerning when vulnerable young people are targeted by predators who manipulate their trust under the guise of offering help. It's crucial for communities to be vigilant and supportive of individuals like Thane, providing them with the protection and guidance they need to stay safe. My heart goes out to anyone who has experienced such exploitation, and I hope for justice and healing for all involved.

The way he acts like he had no reason is the reason why I think he was being molested or at the very least physically and mentally groomed.

Are you not originally from here? I think it made National News as he was on the lam for awhile. We all know Justin Killed Ayla. There is alot of evidence. There is not apparently enough to confidently take him to trial beyond a reasonable doubt. His sister was there plus at min a 3rd person. Very easy to point at them.

It was a Tolkien thing. he and the 2nd detective were fans of lord of the rings, and they talked about that saying from Tolkien.
