But if I hear someone running up behind me and I turn around and there’s a guy right behind me, I definitely would not turn right back around and start walking.

When my sister was killed, my whole family, including myself vowed that we would never forgive the man who took her from us. To hear that there is a person as strong as Buck Blodgett makes my heart cry. My father, my sibling and especially myself, are not as strong as him and I hope he has found true peace. I wish I could be as forgiving. 6 years on and we miss her every day and wish that the man who took her from us faces justice for his actions. As of today he is a free man because the police never investigated her death. A healthy 21 year old does not just die. I don't know

I'm so sorry for you and your family's loss and that no one has been brought to justice yet. I pray that they will not go unpunished and I also pray that you and your family will forgive the one who used their free will to bring evil to God's other innocent children. Forgiveness is not letting anyone off the hook Forgiveness is something Jesus did for us and m 39:14 us to forgive others so then your releasing it to God to handle it and releases you from the anger and rage that evil is robbing and stealing from you every day. Don't let evil steal from your family any more than it has. You are God's child and He doesn't want you captive to the enemy and steal your peace or joy from your life. Most people want to blame God instead of blaming the devil who did this. God gave us everything everything except for 1 tree and along came satan and deceived them so that gave satan legal rights over the world but what he wasn't counting on was God sending Jesus to take back the power that the enemy stole giving us a way to have power over the enemy and on this earth until we get back to paradise. Satan uses any one he can by using their free will to help him destroy God's children because he knows that hurts God the most. God did do something. He sent Jesus and the Holy Spirit to help us and he does and will if we use our free will to fight against evil. Don't let anger and hate take up residence in your life. Your sister wouldn't want you to honor her at the cost of her family loosing their peace and joy. She would want you to forgive and honor her with love and seeing her family and loved ones happy and showing the world and evil the strength of her family against the enemy because trust and believe it takes great strength to forgive and do it while the enemy has to watch you triumph over him and have your sister say see my family their warriors over you and while honoring me and Jesus. God bless you and your family.

Unfortunately, though the parents are doing a noble thing nothing will change evil, my son was murdered and the person (David Mattews) who committed that murder (Daniel E. Rosser, July, 27th 2007) got away with it, then after warning the Mount Pocono school system (where he was a security guard) that he was attempting to "hook up" (his very written words) with young girls on Facebook, around the age of 14, nothing was done. He later (2018) raped a thirteen year old boy, but again served no time, and the charge was reduced to "corruption of a minor". Justice is rarely served by the liberal ideology of today. Someday he will commit another rape or murder, and another family will suffer. God bless and comfort those who are left behind after evil and the people who commit it come together.

Actions have consequences and when you get put in jail those consequences WILL follow you wherever you go and more often than not you will also have a hard time finding work because most companies do not want an ex-convict working for them because that degree of trust you had built up would be shattered all because of you wanting revenge, trust is something that once you lose it, it's near impossible to get back.

Her father lying in her bed holding his breath hits so hard. I find it fascinating, in a very sad way, how after such a close death a lot of us want to know those last moments, we want to feel them and experience them as close as we can. We want to be in our loved ones mind and share that pain or fear. I think for some of us it makes us feel less guilty- even when we shouldn't feel any guilt, just that guilt that we're still alive and that beautiful, wonderful person isn't. I was 12 when my mom hung herself in my bedroom (I didn't live with her). After she died, I taught myself how to tie a noose. Over and over and over, I just wanted my hands to feel what her hands felt. I'd loop it around my neck, I'd tug a little. I just wanted to feel what she felt in those last moments. I just wanted to experience her last breath. The pain, the fear, the relief. I was severely suicidal at the time, but I never did any more than that. But just that little tug, it was horrible how easy it could be to make it all go away. And that's what I wanted to feel because I know that's what she felt. How strange is it that we feel that way?

@TheCommenterAvenger I thoroughly agree!💜 Although it wasn't murder, my 19 year old son, almost 20, died suddenly in March 2016 while he and his little brother were at their dad's house for the weekend. He was the older of my two sons. He had been diagnosed with Addison's Disease just prior to graduating high school, just before his 18th birthday. He was devastated by the diagnoses since it ripped away his dream of becoming a USAF pilot. But My younger son and I did what we could to support him, learn all we could about Addison's, I even bought him his silver MediAlert bracelet that now has a home on my purse. His death came eight months after my dad lost his fight with kidney failure, (due to type 1 diabetes). Because of that, and my betting his sole caregiver? I had about right or nine months to prepare myself and say my goodbyes. I didn't get that with my son. Plus, NO child should EVER die before their parent. My world absolutely shattered. As did my younger son's. We were a tight knit family. As well as I'd hit that perfect stage with him off adult son/mother relationship. We could just sit on the patio, watch the sun set, and talk about anything or nothing. Just shoot the shit lol He trusted me, too. Told me everything. From dating and falling in love for the first time, smoking pot, even getting his younger brother to pee into an empty water bottle for him since his dad was extremely gung-ho, for some reason, on doing an at home marijuana drug test. I couldn't help but laugh at that! Told him to NEVER do that again, but, it was pretty funny. It happened when he was fifteen lol His dad had met a woman online a couple months after our divorce and moved her and her two kids in just one month after meeting her. My boys and the rest of the family absolutely did NOT approve. Plus, she turned out to be verbally and emotionally abusive towards my sons, 99.9% of the time when my ex wasn't there. Which caused an already close mother/sons relationships to grow even closer. I never spoke badly about their dad or his then girlfriend, now wife. I just let them vent and talk. I mentioned that they'd need to talk to their dad about this our that, etc. But she'd say horrid things about me in front of them, including wishing for my death by getting run over by an 18-wheeler, or other means. Yet it was my fault they grew ever more distant and once my son died? My younger son cut all contact with them. It's been six years, yet it still hurts like it was yesterday. I lost my friends, and my therapist believes is because they don't know what to say to me, or how to handle my grief, or the loss of a child. It is THE worst pain I've ever felt. Right in my chest, like a literal hole has been gouged out.

Teach your girls to defend themselves, carry pepper spray or something. It's likely they will run into someone like that. Not necessarily be murdered, but scarred. I've dealt with it many times, even recently at a grocery store. Some older man came up behind me and rubbed against me and whispered in my ear. Tell your girls to not take that shit unless their life depends on it. Stand up for yourself, and make sure to tell someone about it. Do not feel ashamed. Unfortunately a lot of rape or assault victims don't tell anyone because they think it's their fault in some way or they're just ashamed. I'm in my 30s now and I've dealt with things like this at least 5 times. My friend was almost grabbed off the street once. And I'm from a town that doesn't even have crime like that.

I lost my son seven years ago in a tragic "accident" while he was working logging in the woods. The pain I endured losing my oldest son, he was 28 and would have turned 29 in two day, was the most excruciating pain I have ever lived through. Mentally and actual physical pain. Everytime I envisioned that tree hitting him in the head and breaking his neck and him falling to yhe ground, it felt like I was stabbed in the guts by a 12 inch dagger. Actual real physical pain. And the mental pain was debilitating. I cannot even try to fathom the pain that the parents of Jesse have gone through. It literally brings tears streaming down my face to think of this terrible injustice and how these parents lost this wonderful young person that they had lovingly shaped into a wonderful, rounded, and loving young woman has to be almost unbearable. I pray for them as I pray for my own healing. Wonderfully told!

We are sinners and can’t be justified before God. Nothing we do can make us worthy in God’s sight. But out of His own love He made it possible for us to be justified and therefore be worthy of Him and His kingdom. 2 Corinthians 5:21 “God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.” Jesus Christ was the perfect sinless Son of God who agreed with the Father and gave Himself as a sacrifice for our sin. He was the righteousness of God but was put to death as if He was a sinner, so sinners like us can benefit from His sacrifice and be made the righteousness of God. By having faith in Jesus Christ, the saviour of sinners, you can be cleaned and forgiven of your sin, being justified before God in the holy blood of His Son. Have a giddy ✝️💟

Of course it is increadbly sad for Buck (the father), but imo his purley ideologically & pain driven approuch is terrible. I think he is totally clueless about what caused his daughter's death. But the facts of the case show that Dan did not hate Jessie. The only reason to come to that conclusion is purely ideological. The facts of the case show that he had developed an addiction to certain types of porn & grew an aspiration to carry that out. If you don't have that experience, then you likey are clueless too. I have had that experience, with the only difference being that mine is almost the opposite to Dan's (towards women that feel superior to men, & want to dominate them - something that can't be forced onto another, but emotionally the same sexual addiction being developed).

The depravity of mankind seems to know no bounds. It's just incredible how messed up this young man was. How any man can do what he did to any woman is sick beyond words. I am a man of 64 and I have never ever harmed any female, in any way. It's just not in me. I am so glad that Mellissa fought back and survived. Why do good people have to suffer at the hands of the evil? Why? We need all the good people we can get.

Don't get me wrong, I like him too but you don't notice the plethora of slick cuts and edits in his videos? That's what makes him a great storyteller. His edits. The storytelling wouldn't be as smooth and good if it was done in one take. It's much easier to make telling a story look good and sound good when you can cut and splice different takes from telling the story over and over. I'm amazed at how many people don't take this into their thought process. Like I said he does a great job editing all those takes together but it wouldn't sound this good if they hit record and let him tell the story in one take. He probably wouldn't have hardly any subs at all if that were the case like most good storytellers on YT. That's what makes them all good. They know how to edit so sometimes you can't even tell it's and edit in the first place.

I was really worried that her father was going to commit suicide after he thought about her last moments, but he had some kind of "revelation" that he had to honour his daughter's ambitions by fighting for others, as she planned to do. What a terrible thing to happen, I really despair sometimes that real violence watched obsessively by this fiend, is seen as "entertainment" and available online. There's a thin line for some broadcasters between story telling and morbid fascination, Mr. Ballen never crosses that line.

When I was only 16 years old (now 63) another 16 year old classmate of mine was murdered by a neighbor of her parents as she delivered the daily newspaper on her bicycle to his home just a bit down the street from her home. He, according to police/news, supposedly would have abducted her as it was the day that she normally collected for the week's payment to the local newspaper so he most likely invited her in to 'receive the payment'. She would have most likely have thought nothing of it as he and his wife were established customers and neighbors. What she didn't know is that a couple of days before, his wife took the children and left him. So now, left alone he and a male friend who was apparently inside the house took her down to the basement where she was repeatedly beaten and raped over the course of nearly a week before her body was discovered next to a nearby lake. One terrible thing is that other neighbors admitted hearing screams coming from his home but didn't care enough to call the police. Anyway, as soon as it had become clear to her parents that she should have been home they alerted the police and neighbors had joined in to look around the neighborhood (but yet didn't do anything after hearing screams) and even protested angrily a few days later when the police had not found the girl! And who do you think was part of that 'search' and 'protest'? Yep, the guy who, even at that moment, had her tied up in his basement! I am 63 and this was so traumatic for me that it is still in my memory as clear as if it happened yesterday.

Mellisa is a badass and incredible!!! I hate these other comments trying to discredit what she did. She really saved her own life and future lives

You're a good storyteller, great stories too. Jennifer Soo is a great storyteller too, some brilliant stories! And this story is so sad, such an amazing girl, so intelligent, loved & adored by everyone...such a huge waste of life. Its bad for any1 but it makes it even worse when it's an only child of parent(s) that love them unconditionally & immeasurably. Same as its a waste of life for any1 buy even more so when it's an amazing person whose really intelligent & lovable, well behaved & ambitious, empathic & kind, loved by all they meet & loves others just as much, wants to help everyone & make a difference in the world....like this girl it sounds! Makes it so much sadder that she didn't get to fill her true potential & had her amazing qualities & abilities robbed from meeting so many that she would have helped & loved.
