She killed a defenseless old man in a chair. This should be a death penalty case. NO mercy.

It broke my heart, the fact that she slaughtered Charlie RIGHT after he gave her money for the children's Easter baskets. Depraved freak!

She knew her husband was sending pictures of their kids to pedos and serial killers and she did nothing…. That right there shows me what kind of person she really is… no remorse, no soul, no emotions no nothing..,, I have watched a lotta interviews but this one really shocked me…. RIP to Charlie the only one in this whole situation that deserves respect after passing away…may she burn in hell for all eternity

Wow she is truly dangerous. She wasn't on drugs or drunk when she did this, she didn't even smoke. She's a true blue psychopathic killer.

She says the hotel was "really disgusting" but killing people is normal and not disgusting? She is talking like she is telling a story to her friend. She is so detached from reality, she may never come back.

She just wants people to feel sorry for her, Everything she did was cowardice! This woman annoys me.

I feel like this is one of the cases where most of the family and friends did everything they could to try and de-escalate Amanda. 1. She talked about harming the kids-the friend told her parents+ the parents went through with keeping the kids with them. 2. Amanda constantly disparaged Sean behind his back, and Sean KNEW about it because their mutual friends told him. 3. The friend wouldn't let Amanda back in her house after being released from psych. Kudos to those people!

“I’ll never tell anyone what Rex did…” 20 minutes later “Let me tell you about what Rex did.”

Paul Runge was an "interesting" choice of serial killer for Rex to befriend and idolize. Runge's wife, Charlene, is thought to have participated in at least two of his murders, and likely helped to lure other victims to her husband. Sadly, Charlene received immunity for her testimony against Paul, even though she was, imo, almost as evil as Paul. It seems like Rex fancied Amanda as his Charlene - a comparison that Amanda must have perversely relished and embraced. I've no doubts that she would've helped Rex kill numerous people, had he not done the world a favor by killing himself.

I’m not buying her ,” I want to go to hell and find my husband now blah , blah , blah. …… like he said in the video if she was done and wanted to die why not use the gun on herself rather than the idiot that was obsessed with her??? I also found it hilarious she acted so pissed that dude lied to her about being a marine when she was a liar. She even apologized to her mom for all the lies she had told !!!! Ridiculous!!!! All of it!

I was in prison with Amanda. She was so self absorbed & never seemed to have remorse for what she had did. It was all about her, what she can get & how to use people. She would stay into trouble with drugs & owe people money. There was no changing within herself. This was such a terrible crime & heart breaking crime.

Amanda- “They’ll never take me alive!” She got taken in alive.

Lisssten, all of this was A LOT… but my jaw literally dropped when she said “Well, if he does survive.. he had a big part in this too”.. I’m dumbfounded. Just lock her up and throw away the key. Holy hell 😮

Imagine being as old as Charlie was, and living through everything he went through only to be murdered in such a brutal way BY A FAMILY MEMBER...it just makes your skin crawl.

For anyone confused on who should be sentenced to death, this is the person. THIS IS THE PERSON. I don’t care if she wants the death penalty, I don’t care if she wants notoriety, it shouldn’t be “well she wants it so don’t give it to her!” this is the kind of monster that should not be allowed to live amongst other human beings. Period.

“They won’t take me alive. I want to go to be with my husband Rex”. Three miles later she’s taken in with no incident. Such a badass 🙄

The way Amanda felt so betrayed bc Sean lied to her about being a marine when she literally shot him multiple times to murder him, is comical to me. Forgive me.

The saddest she looked through this who interview is when she found out Sean was still alive.

Her being in prison with other people that are just small time criminals, like selling pot, scares me. She is dangerous and now has no reason to not kill.

it's actually scary to think that there's people in this world who would kill anyone at anytime for the fun of it and we wouldn't know until the damage has been done

She seems really concerned that she was lied to about Afghanistan/military service by Sean. I kinda like seeing her squirm when realizing she fell for someone else’s lie.

Where’s my Saturday EWU crew? 💪🏻

poor little grandpa Charlie.. giving her money to make sure his grandkids have a good Easter, WHICH HE DIDNT HAVE TO DO, he did that out of the kindness of his cute lil grandpa heart and she BUTCHERED HIM IN HIS OWN HOME!

She's a good friend of mine's ex. After rex died she used alot of men to get what she wanted! I'm so glad that my friend got away from her when he did. I remember the day he found out about this because they still talked after the breakup, he turned white as a ghost!! And started crying. She was so toxic! I pray for that family and any damage she did to anyone.

Every week I hear the most twisted case I've ever heard. Thank you

I watched a true crime show where this case was one of the episodes- I have to say your narrative telling and presentation of the facts and backstory is WAY better and a lot more interesting 👍

She grew up in my hometown. I knew her personally for years, even dated briefly. Man, did i dodge a fucking bullet

13:57 the way Sean’s dad said HE made the mistake by not changing the code is so sad! You could hear his voice catch as he said 1-2-3 and so on😢 The ones that have no guilt carry it the heaviest so it seems😔

There was a time when EWU was making content that was met with mixed reactions from the corner of UKposts watching niche true crime/-adjacent channels. And the internet being the internet, I remember seeing both hate comments about the video’s format, content, or script writing and, occasionally, actually helpful suggestions. Rather than be discouraged, which I know I would have been, the EWU team just came back better and better each time. I remember when I would only click on an EWU video if I’d already reached the bottom of whatever true crime rabbit hole I’d fallen down. Now, I’m subscribed to multiple of their channels, get notifications, watch all of their videos, see a new video notification and click IMMEDIATELY. Kudos, EWU team. Thank you for your incredible content, even then, and especially now.

Based on the photo used in the video, I thought Charlie was at least 95 years old, if not just just shy of a 100...but, as it turns out, he was actually only 59 when he died, and probably in his mid-50s at the time the photo used in the video was taken. Dude must have lived VERY ROUGH to have aged that quickly, and so poorly.

I went to high school with Amanda. Rex was the NICEST guy when he was a kid. (Edited to add that for context) Just had alot of at home issues happening. But their kids Damien and Dayla are the sweetest kids ever. Amandas moms Laney, is doing a good job of raising them and protecting them. Really wonderful kids despite the trauma they've experienced.

The girl wasn't "grooming" herself to be liked, she was getting her hair out of her face because it kept inching its way down. When I had bangs, and specially when they were growing out, would do that and I was constantly moving them back. I don't think guys understand that, unless they've had long enough hair.

I feel absolutely no remorse for her…

How could they call that manslaughter. And second degree. It's obviously first degree murder because she planned it and carried it out

Not even a minute in and it starts with a trip to Walmart. Lol. None of these murders begin with a trip to Target. Ironic.

I remember seeing her story on Deadly Women, but this video has much more detail since it includes the interrogation footage. The part that always disturbed me the most was that Amanda was more than okay with Rex sending pictures of her CHILDREN to these murderers/predators.

Everytime you leave the house,you have no idea how close you might come in contact with a murderer!!

She doesn't black out. She knew EXACTLY how many times she stabbed him. She can most definitely control herself when angry. If any of the aforementioned were not true as she failed to convince anyone on the planet her murder spree would have happened quite some time ago. Good ol' US of A! Prescribe, prescribe, prescribe! Reactive, not proactive!

"just don't kill anyone... ALRIGHT?" 😂 That detective doesn't realise how funny that statement sounds

People need to start taking these issues seriously, she said she would harm her children. Amanda doesn’t have a right to freedom if she threatens the lives of children. Put her in a facility, it’s better than prison when something tragic happens.

I feel really bad for her kids. There's no telling what kinda crazy sht those poor kids have seen.

If you gotta think about it for a while when someone asks you if you have ever killed any other people, it probably isn’t because of a bad memory.

Y’all are my favorite to watch on UKposts, y’all are literally the reason I won’t delete the app ❤ thank you for putting in so much time and effort into your videos! 😊

This happened in my hometown... I really feel like she needed to be institutionalized at the mental hospital.

This case is so sad, even with the help of professionals she wasn’t stopped and it goes to prove some people can seem really convincing

How the detectives can sound like it’s an everyday thing is amazing.

I just want to say I really appreciate the edits in this video! Makes it feel a certain way, though I can’t really explain it. Great work! 👍

LOVE the video editing of this clip! Absolutely amazing and so detailed. Flawless EWU! Keep up the good work!!!!

Nope, just put her away forever. "Forget" to feed her, or something. Absolutely zero remorse, offering to comply so SHE can get the death penalty? Murdering Charlie? "I don't want, not like, I mean, in a cell. Will I be alone? I can't --" You can't what? The audacity. Doesn't have the gall to end herself, but no hesitation about others. Makes me sick.

My Deepest Sympathy to Mr. Taylor, and his Family.🥀🥀🥀💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️ He must have been So Terrified, and trying to protect himself! My God, that Poor Man!

Your videos are so so good. Your voice makes them so much better. ❤

This channel is one of the best crime story channels on YT. If not THEE best.

That mental health facility at Saint Albans should have never let her go.

Disgusting dirty girl. You can't fix her. The death penalty was made for her and all the other killers.

EWU and Ravon, you guys will always be my favorite channels. Your content is so well done, so thorough. It really does make my day when I receive an alert for any EWU content. You are similar to a professional news organization like Dateline, 48 hours, any of the biggies. Actually, a lot of your content exceeds their work. Love you guys!

I was pleased that Sean lied to her she hated that as she thought she had total control over him

I can't believe I wasn't subscribed before now! This was an incredible documentary and this channel has taught me personally so much. Thank you for such quality content!

"I want to kill my children" "Ok you're free to go" I hope that facility got sued

Thanks for the upload!

This is the only channel i've been binge watching every night. Didn't even realise it.

It’s weird how all these criminal psychos “black out” when they are doing the most disgusting things imaginable..it’s disgusting hearing these two talk so calmly about their crimes, like they are ordering off a menu…scary!!

It’s phenomenal in cases like this how often the suspects will follow a subconscious pattern. Claim to have blacked out, try to convince detectives the victim wanted to die, recount everything in detail after claiming to have blacked out.

Can we just take a second , to give those parents a medal?? 🎉🎉🎉. As soon as she talked about hurting the kids they didn’t allow her contact and kept the kids with them. We always say someone should have helped and they did!! Thank god for those babies and hopefully they can be helped from this trauma ❤❤

When it comes to the appropriate punishment for murderers I feel like it's actually quite simple. If someone wants to die then they should go to jail until they die. If they want to live then they should get the death penalty.

Never fail to impress, love your content and hard work guys!! ❤

The fact that they couldn’t find the runner means she didn’t kill her which makes me absolutely happy

thanks for another great coverage EWU!! fav true crime channel

We appreciate EWU's hard work and dedication. These cases are worth knowing more about. We hope to see them succeed further no matter what happens.

Someone close to me, Krystal Mitchell, was murdered. Watching videos from this channel, it makes me wonder what kinds of things her killer said during interrogation and if I’ll ever see the footage. The EWU Team does a great job so I’m sure it would be done well. That’s one thing you provide the families of the victims: respectfully-presented information. Some of the news outlets were a bit…salacious in the report, giving me horrible mental images for the sake of…I’m not really sure. Casual readers weren’t bettered for that knowledge, either. I’m so glad you include interviews and updates not found in the interrogation footage. Makes EWU a cut above the rest

It's so telling that she has no self awareness. If I was on the jury for this trial and knew the killer wanted the death penalty, I'd argue against it out of pure spite.

ATTN EWU!! The pics you used of Charlie are not him! They are of his father, Allen???? Please correct that! I knew Charlie Taylor......he was an ok guy, but had a long addiction to painkillers. One positive thing.....the killer's kids are being raised by her mom and mom's husband; good people who love them. PS - The first picture shown of Rex and "Charles" at 03:06 is incorrectly captioned. That is a pic of Charlie's FATHER, Allen. Hence, several comments I saw saying how old Charlie looked......that's his dad; not him. That same pic is referred to as Charlie well.into the video.

She was from my hometown and I have been waiting forever for this!!!! Could you possibly cover Darla Hise from the same area????

It's interesting that Sean said after she shot him n the face he 'just screamed and screamed' in pain, but her account is 'he made some bubbly gurgling noises like Charlie did'....disturbing thought.

They say humans are better and separate from animals because of intelligence, art, speech, etc. Truth is we are worse because we commit acts of evil and violence without cause.

I’m here tonight getting my fix I love this channel and the narrator has a fantastic voice for true crime

Loving all the new releases EWU feels like you have more uploads in recent months ! Super informative an enjoy watching on my big screen I treat each video as if it's a TV show , keep up the great work .

She was just mad cuz he took resta her Klonopins 😂

You know shes insane when she smiled for her prison photo!

“He lied about a lot. He lied to us.” & you shot him in the face- get over yourself.

Wow, Amanda and Rex were a lot creepier than I remember reading/watching about them

Im honestly surprised she didnt kill or maim someone earlier in life given her psychopathy. The fact shes talking like it was a sunday day out with no emotion - horrifying.

When they askd her if the blond woman Rex picked up and severely beat, was, actually dead, her response is absolutely chilling... "I don't know. I didn't care." Beyond creepy.

This country really needs to bring back long term mental institutions. She should of been committed years ago.

Love ❤️ you guy!! My whole family listens to you at night in the truck cleaning and anytime we can thanks!!

I live between christiansburg and radford (neighboring town). I NEVER thought I'd see an EWU on a local case like this (other than Nicole Lovell). Thank you for all you do EWU. ❤

I think we're going to need a completely separate video to address the number of questions that I have regarding that "blond girl" she talked about towards the end....did they ever find out what happened to her?? That's certainly a starting point for my questions 😳

Murderer: *Gives a full, graphically detailed murder confession* Narrator: She talks with her hands, indicating she might have something to hide.

Demented heartless murders, stabb a defendless man 31 times. Rest in peace Charlie.

My fiancé was murdered on May 2nd 2020 and the case was originally handled by dirty detectives working with his murderer. The detectives were caught but evidence had been destroyed and now they’ll never get her for any degree of murder. If she shows up to her court date, she may be charged with telecommunications fraud. Hopefully if she’s convicted of that, they can go for “a death was caused while committing a felony” and she could be charged with manslaughter. EWU creators, if this case is ever solved, I’d be so curious how the murderer and her accomplice would act in an interrogation. I’d be shocked just to see her sober.. But honestly, I have no positive expectations.

Did not expect so much of this story to take place where I live. Pretty terrifying

It blows my mind that people would take a selfie with the body... Great vid as per :)

perfect timing EWU was just looking for a new documentary to watch but good thing my favorite channel for these kinda vids jus posted

A mental health institution releases her even after relatives told them she was homicidal?? Not to mention it was aimed at her own children. What a disgrace. There needs to be some accountability imo.

i did my grade 12 forensics presentation on this woman since her friend mariah gave me access to her facebook back in 2021, i had every photo amanda had ever posted there. i set up a BANGER google slides show and didnt have to look at the board the whole time since i had this whole case memorized.

Her poor poor little kids 😢 My heart hurts for them

You guys have been dropping a lot of video’s recently on all of your channels. Keep up the great work!

Just when I thought I couldn't love your channel any more than I do, you go and pronounce "Appalachian" correctly (app-uh-latch-un instead of app-uh-lay-shun) and confirm this is the best true crime channel on UKposts! I grew up in Christiansburg and know this sick chick (and her sick husband, Rex). She was a ticking time bomb but a crime this horrific was still a shock to our little town. Glad to see this channel cover the story and do it so well

Always listen to EWU while im busting out recipes at work! Narration is so good, i dont even need to watch the videos! I usually just check the mugshots and then let the audio play in my headphones, i recommend this to anyone working and bored for sure!

More stories to teach you how to notice cold hearted people like this in our community or even family🙏🏾 I love being apart of the Ewu Crew
