@YinsDarkNess
@YinsDarkNess 2 роки тому
Iceland is notorious for having a rough and rugged landscape. When I lived there you would hear of tourists dying every week and the reaction was a resounding 'meh'. More than often, and as awful as it sounds, people succumb to the elements quite easily as it's unwelcoming. That includes freezing to death or falling off a cliff; in one horrible case, a guy jumped into a hot spring thinking he could go for a bath but didn't realize how hot the spring would be. So it's not uncommon for people to go missing, some people even retreat back to their remote villages that still do not have internet or any forms of communication. The island is remote and treacherous. People go missing all time sadly.

Yeah, it really does. I don't have in any way an expertise on law, but I live in an area that's notorious for its crime. If you ask me, it seemed their police force just genuinely had no idea what they were doing. Solitary seemed to be the right thing because it produced something out of the nothing they were researching, and crime is so low there no one on the staff was well experienced in hard crime. I think their cruelty, at its source, was dehumanization of their suspects because they had nothing else to work off of. They took six young people and turned their minds to mush for the sake of upholding a legacy still new in society's mind. Salem witch trials indeed.

I just want to thank Unsolved for making this video because I used this video for an English presentation about psychology in conspiracy theories (and the JFK one too because my friend used it as well). I also did my own research, mostly about the psychology of solitary confinement and the whole case is just upsetting, even to this day. My teacher and peers were so shocked on how horrible the suspects were treated, whether they were suspects or not (I believe that they were not). I love your guys' content so much, just want to put it out that you guys inspired a future wannabe detective and psychologist. Also, thanks for carrying Buzzfeed :) Keep it up, looking forward to more videos on True Crime and Supernatural

That was actually a pretty accurate video. I'm impressed. - Also interesting fact, after they had confessed to the murders of Guðmundur and Geirfinnur, the police also ''questioned'' them about at least two other disappearances. I'm guessing that the police didn't try those as hard as the cases of Guðmundur and Geirfinnur. - Another aspect of this story that is worth mentioning is that in the years before they were arrested, there had been an uptick in murders in Iceland and unsolved disappearances were getting more and more common. There was immense pressure from the public and the government on the police to get results. Any results.

Actually, police forcing a confession out of an innocent person happens quite a bit here in the United States. One of the more infamous that I can think of right now was the case against Alvin Latham back in 2000. He was on a ship out at sea fishing for shrimp during a bad storm where the ship sank. There was only him and the captain on board, and when Latham was rescued he told authorities that the captain's leg had gotten tangled in ropes and he had been dragged under the water by the boat. The captain's body was later recovered after it had floated back up to the surface, and the coroner mistook injuries that had occurred AFTER the death as having been the cause of death. So police took Latham in and bullied a confession for murder out of him. It's actually pretty incredible, because they taped the entire interrogation and you can actually see them telling Latham how he had "committed" the murder and then pressuring him into agree with it. Latham had some mental retardation, so his defense attorney thought something was off with the confession. Then he watched the interrogation tape and was able to use that as evidence to get Latham acquitted.

@@arlyn6310um, yes they just did by saying that he has no problem pronouncing the names. If you can pronounce something it means they're saying it right. if it's wrong he means he does have problems with pronouncing the names and that they're wrong. you can't be wrong in pronunciation and 'have no problem with the names' at the same time

Weeeelll, hate to be a buzzkill but though most of the pronunciations in this video were very good for a non-native speaker occasional ones were really not that good. Especially Hafnarfjördur, that one was... interesting. So good on Ryan for doing his best, I know our language is tricky. Good but not perfect

@aaliyah I didn't mean to be rude... sorry if it came across that way. I was only commenting on what I understood his original comment to be about, I think I may have been misunderstanding this whole thing. I definitely didn't mean to be disrespectful to people with non-english names, I myself am not from an English speaking country, but from Iceland. I was just commenting on Ryans pronunciations as a native speaker of the Icelandic language. I'm sorry about any inconvenience I've caused by not understanding others intentions.

I might as well add in an extra theory i heard years ago about this case. As an icelander it is hard to find anyone here who has not heard about this case. For us this is like the missing Roanoke Colony. I heard a theory that Guðmundur and Geirfinnur were killed and cemented in a basement of a house somewhere near downtown of Hafnarfjörður. not really sure where this theory came from but I have heard it a few times over the years.

@@KexyTime From experience, Solitary confinement is total isolation. As a guard, I escorted many inmates to solitary there is EXTREMELY limited interaction between inmates and staff. There is often one window, a bed, and a toilet. You are not allowed any outgoing or incoming phone calls, no mail, and you get your exercise in a small caged in exercise yard roughly 8 ft by 10 ft with an open roof to allow fresh air. Individuals are held for anywhere from 1 week to 6 months and longer.
@JacintaSeabrook
@JacintaSeabrook 5 років тому
Hayli also inherently solitary confinement is defined as punishment. You might leave someone in an interview room or in their cell for a time like you said, but it wouldn’t be the same thing. Solitary confinement has been proven to literally drive people insane and is pretty much barbaric IMO
