  1. Three boys went missing in my small farm town over 10 years ago. The father was suspected of not only abducting them but murdering them, even though their bodies have never been found. He refuses to admit to anything and his own parents are standing by him despite their grandsons being victimized by his temper and hatred of his ex-wife.

  2. Mom told me her small town (rural and countryside Mexico in the 70’s) story was that two kids went missing when they were leaving Sunday class. They thought coyotes took em since they lived on a ranch. Days later one of them was found and told that men took them and SA’d them. The kid that came back played dead after the deed was done but their sister wasn’t lucky since she kept crying. They never found the kidnappers

  3. Im in the bay area and a person was struck and killed by the Bart train at the Hayward station. This was in October. They shut down the station for hours afterwards.
    Another person was struck and killed by a Bart train in Berkeley.

  4. Probably Yaser Abdel Said, the man who killed his teenage daughters as a “mercy killing”. He ran and no one could fin him for at least a decade and was on the FBI’s most wanted list. Turns out he hadn’t even left the county, his son (the brother of the two victims) and another family member were keeping him hidden like 30 minutes away from where he was originally for years. The whole thing was horrible, and everyone in town still remembers and the years of anger two teenage girls were murdered for no reason and there was very little hope to see any justice.

    The silent hill music is so fitting I used to drive through WV multiple times a year with my father, and we always went into the mountains, and there was a town that was fully covered in fog pretty much every single time, we always called it silent hill. It even had a similar name like town hill or something lol

  6. A lady died at my work today. Im at a restuarant, and while I was making sandwiches i got news form my coworkers that a lady has OD'd in the bathroom. My cousin, hes like an older brother, used to be on oxy, so I panicked, becuase I know that women is someones baby. The coroner, ambulance, cop car came. and no else cared, the world left her behind. I wont say my age, but im young. So this sorta has me fucked up.

  7. Some of the crimes in my old town that come to mind are a home invasion that ended in torture, arson,and a triple murder, a baby and his mother executed in the woods, and a quadruple murder of some teens with machetes.

  8. The ABC daycare center tragedy in july 2009 in Sonora, The fire started in a warehouse next to the daycare center and spread to it, the fire was aggravated by the non-existent security measures and a serious management negligence on the part of those responsible in order to cut costs, it resulted in the death of 49 children and other 106 injured, but thanks to the local citicen that responded inmediatly to save many childrens as they can, they managed to prevent the number of tragedies from getting worse.

  9. It’s hardly unique, but the school I went to was part of a hundreds-long list of schools that had been guilty of covering up and even aiding and abetting sexual harassment and SA by male pupils.

    Other than that, we’ve got the standard drug issues and a few murders here and there that you get from a small to medium rural English town with nothing happening in it

  10. This isn’t my story, but my fiancée lived down the road from Michael Ryan (the Hungerford Massacre). She was rushed indoors by her nan when he stomped past her house. Her dad used to work with him & my future brother in law‘s dad was one of the victims.

  11. The Schobert murders in Ohio. I used to sit with Chelsea(the girl who basically caused it) back in high school during lunch and she would brag about hanging out with gang members on school nights. We had an assembly for the Schoberts because they were really involved with our school.

  12. Not my village but my friends parents.
    One night in there village most of the town was at the recreation center and at some point an avalanche hit them (town surrounded by hills/mountains)
    The parents bestfriends were crushed and killed and they spent days digging themselves out of the building. The town still feels like impact of that night to this day

  14. Back in the 70s, A teen girl got SA'ed in a city park restroom while her friend was out waiting in the car (friend had no idea- went in to find out what was taking so long and there was her friend in a puddle of blood, crying on the floor). Some guy, he turned himself in when he found out the local men were going to find him and lynch him (he was white- just so you know). Guy didn't dress as a women, he was just an out-n-out predator. It doesn't take a dress for any guy to just walk into restrooms.

  15. If you kid kills themselves over bullying then you failed as a parent in dozens of ways. It's really on them and the more people like that scream and cry the more I believe they raised a spinless wimp.

  16. I really appreciate that you edit in relevant news articles and any context needed such as who sent what replies and stuff.
    Most don't bother, but it really makes this channel stand out and has earned my sub at the least.

  17. My family and I are from Southern California. my mom was a teenager while Richard Ramirez was active in our specific area of LA county, it was an extremely hot summer and my grandparents house never had AC, so she had to keep the window of her bedroom at the very front of her house open and she said at one point it scared her so bad she completely rearranged her bedroom so her bed was as far from the window as possible. The uncle of one of her close friends to this day was one of the officers that arrested Ramirez

    Edit for more scary LA county nonsense: murder is normal around where I grew up, but starting when I was about 12-13 the community started suspecting that there was an active serial killer in the general area, LAPD obviously doesn’t give a shit about it and the killer is still active as far as any of us know. There’s suspected to be 2-4 active serial killers in SoCal alone at pretty much all times (and that’s not even considering areas like skid row where the police won’t step foot so most murders there go unnoticed)
