Mike!!! 🤩😍😎 This is our neck of the woods! Er… so to speak… we are right on the Rogue in Eagle Point, Oregon! But up near Fish Lake.. this is a Folklore Story, but you’ve given details I’ve never heard You Rock! I’m so sorry for this family. So sorry! But it makes for a spooky “new moon nighttime walk” on the ranch! Love you, Mike! Thank you for being so solid and awesome! 🌻💝😊

2022-09-26 05:32:57 +0000 UTCIf you look into the hundreds of cases every year of folks who disappear in state and national parks, it's often claimed when remains are found how remains were in an area that had been searched. It means nothing. People want to imply it means the remains were placed there but in fact it just means searchers and dogs are not infallible. The case of Geraldine Largay is very instructive because tin foil hat people had ascribed all kinds of supernatural forces at work. But when her remains were found in an area searched by professionals and dogs they also found a diary and her camping equipment that made it quite clear she got lost and died in that place. Dogs and rescue/recover teams are not magic. My point is the fact that claims are made that they were "mysteriously" found in a place that had been searched, in fact it means zilch. It means the searchers missed the remains.

2022-09-22 07:18:33 +0000 UTCI'm not sure what you're suggesting. They find bodies and don't report them straight away??
Paige Turner
2022-09-22 07:15:35 +0000 UTCI feel very sorry for the detective too. One of the good guys who actually cares. No doubt he served the public well only to be haunted by this case at a time when he should be enjoying life. Perhaps if he put pen to paper he could send a msg to those serving now. He has a vital story or is it a warning to share.

2022-09-22 07:02:42 +0000 UTCCampfire story, Mike? Um, haha. This truly is a horror story and as usual you treated the victims with respect and didn't glorify any of the horrific details. My favourite true crime channel. Actually my only true crime channel. Sending love n hugs from Aus! Stay safe everyone.

2022-09-22 06:45:06 +0000 UTCIt just dawned on me, too, that maybe the husband/father was bound to the tree so he had to watch the (who knows what kind of) torture & ultimate killing of his family. Not only that, but what if then he was just left tied to that tree so he'd be forced to relive the horrors he'd witnessed while he starved to death & withered away?

2022-09-18 01:08:43 +0000 UTCExcellent video mike. Your production is glorious. You work so hard to bring us the best of the best every single time. The interview with the last remaining detective alive was heart breaking. So emotional for the poor guy. I bet that killer was the one who did it. He knew how to play the system. He’d rather go to jail then answer to a polygraph. That says everything. Amazing how many head injuries create a killer. It makes sense though. But what this guy did to others too, is beyond evil.

2022-09-16 17:15:10 +0000 UTCCalling bullshit. Many of the state and national parks disappearances claim bodies discovered later in places previously searched.

2022-09-14 00:12:58 +0000 UTCHello, Mike, and thank you. This one felt very special, I'm not sure why... Following Jared Crooks lead, and being even creepier, if, for example, the killer took the baby, he could have the mother to tie the husband to the tree... And when you said that they didn't discover how the man was killed, I immediatly had a truly gruesome thought: he may have left him to die - of thirst, hunger and the consequences of being tied up and standing (was he standing? Because that's how I pictured it)... And also: didn't anybody suspect the man who said he searched the area? He seems a good candidate, too... Have a great week, Mike. Love you.

2022-09-14 00:01:57 +0000 UTCHey Mike, if a tree falls in the forest of your mind, does it make a sound?

2022-09-13 17:39:42 +0000 UTCAlso, not to be super creepy myself--and I don't think I like that this is what my brain is doing right now--but I think one person could control a family of four if you got to one of the kids first. Threaten the kid, the parents will go along. Again, that's awful, but I can see how he could've pulled it off himself.

Tasha Duperron
2022-09-13 00:11:58 +0000 UTCNever heard of this case! That detective should not feel guilty. Whomever let this man get out of prison after only 10 years the first time is who I think needs to feel guilty! The justice system failed this family by letting a monster free after only ten years.

2022-09-13 00:11:00 +0000 UTCI'm so impressed! You said Oregon correctly!!! Creepy case. Thanks Mike!

2022-09-12 19:40:05 +0000 UTCI very much like how you moved the "That Chapter" from the very beginning to the intro/subject title. I.e: That Chapter: The Cowden Family. It really works!

2022-09-12 19:39:35 +0000 UTCGee, the state of Oregon let this guy kill over and over. Wtf?
Evelyn McElroy
