Make sure to leave your questions for our Post Mortem episode down below!
BuzzFeed Unsolved Network Can you do an episode on the mysterious disappearance of Anthonette Cayedito?
Does anyone know any tips for killing an elder frost gammoth in mhgu?
Omg Ryan, what's up with your hair?!?!?
I’m scared of my house
#Postmortem Yall need to sign up for the IDA Imperial Detective Achademy, We have spaces after the last guys eh... Yeah... you can sign up now!
Shane: You’re a doctor! Ryan: 😃 Shane: You’ve just murdered someone! Ryan: 😔
Squidward pro wrestler
No see.... It wasn't Ryan.... It was totally Ricky Goldsworth.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Shane: It was your wife! Ryan: 😀
Others in the office: *only heard you just murdered someone* 😧
Squidward kzhead.info/sun/YJqenN57g5GEZZs/bejne.html
Ryan last week: “Does hair grow through the skull??” Ryan this week: *a doctor* #postmortem
Sam Chuter I died a little inside when he said that 💀
Sam Chuter edit it and put it as a #postmortem
He is a man of many talents
He finally passed A+P!
Lmaooo good one
Dude went from being married and being a neurosurgeon to losing a wife to marrying a relative of Goebells to losing his license and then becoming a wrestler All in 46 years
You’ve gotta admit neurosurgeon to wrestler is pretty badass
no disrespectful but he have this main character energy
He also spent like at least 10 of those years in PRISON
Hell of a career change tbh
And then died of alcoholism in a hotel room.
To be fair, if I was knocked out cold twice within, what, an hour? Less? I don't think I'd be able to give a much more detailed description than "white, bushy hair."
Also, having just came out of a deep sleep, full of adrenaline, scared, prolly sweaty, etc
Especially when an adrenaline rush has come and gone,and your wife has been murdered.
Unimportant but I'm the 420th like B-)
He would of been knocked out for like 5 seconds if he was able to catch up to the figure unless the figure was just standing around looking for stuff to take.
@@deez1384 I've never been knocked out but I've fainted plenty of times for just a few seconds before. I believe that
the audacity Ryan has to call Shane’s hair unkept when his looks like that is ASTOUNDING
#postmortem
It's because he's got a receding hairline and he's trying to cover it up.
#postmortem
#roastmortem
As shanes best tik tok says "hair can be this, yes"
I love how our boys are really leaning into that "cool male history teacher" vibe
PaperxPens Ryan gives me the cool male English teacher vibes
I have had three of those
oh my god now i'm imagining my history teacher on the show with them and it would be WILD
I’ve only ever had three male teachers my entire life and they taught world history, American history, and human geography.
Shane is the strange history teacher and Ryan’s is the English teacher. Don’t @ me
I'm just proud of Marilyn for refusing to go down without a fight. Like I know she was fighting for her life, but how many times have you heard of a murder victim who fought so hard she broke her teeth biting her attacker?
I totally agree
How hard was this dudes skin
@@JamaeJi-Hyun nono, she bit him so hard she hit bone, or at the very least some dense muscle. Likely on the arm or leg
@@JamaeJi-Hyun Yeah if you break your teeth biting something you hit bone. Alternatively the murderer is Colossus from X-Men.
or she was being hit so hard repeatedly by the attacker her teeth fell out
"The Devil is here, send God!" is such a raw line to be delivered by Shane making fun of Ryan's fear of everything
* deep sigh * time to add it to the cursed literature collection, boys....
Tbf Shane comes out with a tonne of these, he shows up on the List of Raw Lines like, a Lot
shane: looking more and more like a weathered detective Ryan: looking more like a serial killer
That's because they are slowly becoming CC Tinsley and Ricky Goldsworth
RIGHT I swear Ryan went from looking like a baby to a serial killer
*roast mortem*
Sophia Ellis I feel like Ryan is jealous of Shane as he’s always talking crap on his appearance weather it his height or his nose or his clothes..
Nothing wrong with the way Ryan looks 💋☺️
Me knowing the actor is harrison ford: this doesnt sound like the plot of Indiana Jones
Me also
ohh that's what it was

Petition to name the disposal of a corpse by being randomly shoved out of a plane to land wherever: "The D.B. Cooper Special"

We need a more sophisticated name. The Cooper Aerial Disposal.
@@acasualcactus5878 Nah, "Disposal of Bodies - Cooper". DB Cooper :D
Dr Sam had several ounces of sand in his pockets when he was unclothed at Bay View hospital. His temperature was so low that 2 thermometers couldn't get a reading. His skin was completely clammy and clothing was soaked. He was shaking so badly that x-rays could not be taken without changing the aperture of the machine. He was incontinent with a swollen face and several loose teeth amongst his other injuries. Some of his reflexes were missing, caused by nerve damage from the blow to the back of the neck. Shame on Dr Samuel Gerber (Cuyahoga County coroner) and Louis Benson Seltzer (Cleveland Press editor) for railroading this man and essentially his family.
Source? I’d love to check this out more for myself!
Good research.
Sam was very cold because he just washed off all the blood in the cold lake. He is guilty, so so guilty.
@@sunfollower5623 why you think so
@@reptile_loki The story is rather fanciful. He was knocked out _twice_ in one attack? When did the burglar have time to hide the jewelry in the bushes, and why? Why would a burglar take time to murder a woman but not the male, who is the greater threat? The victim was pregnant and Sam was having an affair. The murder weapon was never found. But the outline of a scalpel was left on the bed. No forced entry. Sam took a nap after the incident, then called the mayor instead of the police.
The most fifties murder investigation sentence of all time: “Only a woman could have committed this murder, it was a murder of jealousy” #postmortem
There are like 4 other men suspects. Don't they count?
I say that sentence in my mind in a 50s radio voice
*feminine jealous hatred*
@@sengsavunthara7614 no, not in the fifties 😂 it's kind of like the whole toxic masculinity, men don't get jealous, man can't get jealous. Just like they can't cry, they can't talk about feelings you know how men used to be raised. Obviously, now we know men can also kill someone in jealous rages haha
lol
Ryan: looks more and more like a serial killer as the series goes on shane: Looks fresh out of cop school
India-Mae Jones 70s cop school
It's all in the moustache
ricky's taking over...
Lmao with his mustache🤦♀️😂
the love story begins
F. Lee Bailey’s story is basically: ‘Does feminine jealousy lead to murder? We asked a man!’
Had his wife murdered, missed out on his son's childhood, spent a decade in prison, finally got out, lost his job and got divorced, resorted to alcohol, and eventually died a miserable death. Even if he did some highly questionable things like adultery, no one deserves a life like that. I can't help but feel bad
i mean he married a 19 year old so im okay with how he ended up to be honest that’s a whole predator even if he’s not a murderer
@@alecn.3701 that's legal tho? they're not a minor, they both consented, i don't see the problem?
@@plav6067 Doesn't make it ok
@@neo.aenergy they both consented, theyre both above the age of consent, where's the problem?
His story doesn't make any sense. The killer who couldn't possibly know that Sam couldn't identify him would certainly have killed him also, especially given that he managed to knock him out twice. And Marilyn's screams would have likely woken up their young son. That didn't happen. On the other hand, there was some forensic evidence to corroborate elements of his story such as the beach chase and more importantly the blood on the closet wasn't either his or Marilyn's. I wonder if it was something else entirely though. What if Marilyn was actually having an affair with the handyman Richard Eberling? Perhaps as a revenge against Sam for his affair which she knew about? She was with him upstairs when Sam, groggy from his nap, found them and started slashing away at Eberling and his wife even as Eberling tried to use her as a human shield. Eberling managed to break away(but not before Mary bit him reflexively) and fled while Sam took a break to grapple with the shock of what he had done. Then he started chasing after Eberling in the beach to kill him as well until he managed to get knocked out Why did he not name Eberling? Because that would provide the prosecution a motive for him to kill his wife and of course Eberling would testify against him(and also expose him as a cuckold) If he didn't name Eberling, he would not come forward as he had nothing to gain from it except turning himself into a suspect. Later on, with nothing to lose, Eberling took pity on Sam and gave a fake death bed confession to make his acquittal a little easier
They've traded places. Shane's hair is impeccable. Ryan looks like he's just been blown off of Goatman's bridge.
😂
yessss that’s what i was thinking
*Shane Madej's Bridge
😂😂
Its Shane and Ryan's bridge now, actually as they've claimed it
I feel really bad for Chip. He lost his mom, his dad, both of his paternal grandparents, and his maternal grandpa in a short amount of time at a young age. That must have been terrible
Just Grace Fr :(
So right
Chip, if you're out there, we're so sorry this happened to you.
At least he still had his uncles
and his unborn baby brother :(
Fun fact: his lawyer was one of OJ’s lawyers
Is he the one that died recently?
Yeah, as soon as he said 'F. Lee Bailey' I was like "Oh, O.J.'s lawyer!"
I had a Psychology of Law class in college and my professor had been an attorney in her younger years and attended a conference where Johnny Cochraine was a panel speaker. They couldn't help but ask him about the OJ trial and whether Cochraine really thought he was innocent. His response was: "A person doesn't have to be necessarily innocent to be found not guilty."
@@Listening_Books12345 … it has been confirmed
I now know that there is a connection between Hitler and OJ Simpson
they look like someones fun uncles who, once you're a teenager, start swearing around you
I would love it if they were my uncles
i would literally pay them to be my uncles
I didnt know I was a certain type of uncle😂
ryan really had the nerve to describe Shane as having 'unkempt hair' when he's looking like that
Emily Steinberg Lmao, honestly.
That bishh
Everyone on the east coast has hair like that or worse :)
im thinking hes starting to bald cuz no one would ever choose that hairstyle. If thats true then we dont care!!!! we still love watching you ryan!

Ryan: “didn’t you say you wanted your body to be left in a field ?” Shane: (defensively, offended) “it’s called a sky burial- and I want the vultures to eat me. 😤😡”
Just to put this out there: The inventor of polygraphs openly said that polygraphs didn’t work, and should NOT be used for criminal cases. The fact that we still use them to obtain “justice” is ridiculous.
They’re not admissible in court
Not in federal courts, but dont public courts allow them along with "bite mark" evidence?
We...we don’t use them.
They're mostly just used now to find baby daddies on Maury. I wonder if the inventor ever imagined where they would wind up...
spiderwes 01 In my state they are very much admissible in court. It’s not universal, some states allow it, some don’t.
Buzzfeed unsolved is literally carrying buzzfeed

@@lasrie9689 try guys left buzzfeed but when they were there yup
@@alyssalouard8549 oh.. true tho :D
I love the idea that they give Ryan the script and then Shane just shows up, no clue what's going to happen, they just tell him "this is the subject we're covering, it's true crime/supernatural, just do what you do best" and he rolls with it 😂
Technically, that is kinda what happened, except Ryan is in charge of the research/script team.

bridget Lee he was good and it was fun.
my mother was watching over my shoulder, looked at Shane and said "what a lovely alien looking man, he looks like a praying mantis"
You better treat her good i know nothing about her and i already love her more than my entire family
vroom vroom lmaooo same
HA! *like a praying mantis!* Man your mother is awesome
From "sexy in a rat kind of way" to "long sloth with penguin nose" to "praying mantis alien man". Upgrades people, upgrades

I love the way Ryan asks Shane questions like he’s Dora and Shane’s the toddler on the other side of the screen
Fans: Petition to move the manequin. Then they moved it to somewhere else creepier.
lmao true that
“I didn’t murder her though.” “Didn’t you?” “I didn’t!” “I Don’t Care.”
he obviously did it
Gottem!
Case closed boys, we gottem
Ladies and gentlemen we got em.
Miles You know that’s a fugitive reference right
Ryan is the only person I know of who actually says "end quote" at the end of a quote.
i think it is to emphasize that the quote is over lol
I had a professor last semester who did that too. Coolest professor I've had so far tbh.
You dont get out much do you?
@@kipechawolfeortiz8791 Lol I personally do, but no one says that in my area during day to day conversation, unless they're angrily trying to prove a point. Most of the time they just read something and leave it at that. It's the same way at my University (which is in another state).
I use it when it's important to make it clear what is and isn't the quote.
“Case that became inspiration for a major blockbuster movie starred by Harrison Ford” me: Star Wars is inspired by a murder?
The place Shane is talking about with the decaying bodies is “The Body Farm”, located in Tennessee. My mom is a prosecutor and got to visit. It’s very difficult to get that chance and only law and medical people are typically allowed. It’s really cool and fascinating I love listening to what all she saw there. But it smells so bad near some of the bodies that she had to throw away a pair of shoes and even after showering multiple times and even swimming, her hair still smelled terrible. Just thought y’all would be interested :)
This episode isnt buzzfeed: unsolved, this is buzzfeed: exposing the frailty of the US justice system.
that's most episodes ngl!
Not much to expose. It's kinda common knowledge.
So basically any justice system In the world
This did NOT age well
Kait Keiscome it aged perfectly?? The US judicial system is still fucked up and seriously unfairx
"Just arrest someone" Shane did you forgot about the Reykjavik confessions
Noxlotl 😂😂😂
what are those? can someone explain?
@@ilovebob241 just search it up and you'll find Shane and Ryan already covered it. Basically, it's just the polices arresting and putting suspect in prison to get evidence to the point the suspects began questioning their memory.
@@ilovebob241 kzhead.info/sun/esWFlKycaXxjq4U/bejne.html It's actually bizarre. Police arrest people who may or may not have been involved in two missing persons cases and forced to confess to the crimes
Don't forget Frank Dolezal from the Cleveland torso murders
Every other episode, Shane: "Cops are crooked! They're dirty!" Shane here: "If I was a cop, I'd just wanna sit around the station all day...." I sense a pattern here....
Shane: You’re a doctor. Ryan: Oh, look at me, a doctor! Shane: You just murdered your wife. Ryan: Oh.
"It's the only case we've covered with a conviction." Me: Immediately thinks about the collar bomb case.
Undead Artist omg i thought i was the only one!!
True
i thought of the reykjavik confessions
Didn’t they convict that random guy in the Cleveland torso murderer case cos he knew a couple of the victims?
The Collar bomb case was also near Lake Erie, but in Philadelphia
Shane’s hair is almost neat here but now Ryan’s hair is a mess lmao
I disagree. This is his best look
it looks nice, the messy hair is pretty cute
I like it the new look
Faith It’s quarantine hair.
Audrée I HOOTED
Ryan: "And became the basis for a famous for a Hollywood blockbuster." Shane: "Jurassic Park?" Me: sounds about right
25:57 "was never proven innocent" i get what you're saying, but in the USA the assumption SHOULD be that they are innocent until proven guilty. There is never a need to be proven innocent.
But in the eyes of the community though... really, when an innocent person is convicted, their reputation is tarnished even if they are later set free.
Fewer things are harsher than the court of public opinion. Also, it’s not just in the USA, the idea of “innocent until proven guilty” is a hallmark of justice systems. That is what a trial is for. It gives the prosecution the chance to prove that the defendant is guilty beyond any reasonable doubt. Still, while the burden of evidence lies with the prosecution, it is sometimes up to the defense to look for new theories because if the authorities are so certain the defendant did it, they neglect evidence that could prove otherwise.
"i don't smell like cottage cheese." sounds like the words of someone who smells like cottage cheese
If you did smell like cottage cheese would you know or would you just be used to the smell?

I love the idea of a guy saying it takes a women to kill in Jelously. Like dude have you ever met a man rejected?

'What are they doing up at 4am and 4:30?' [sweats in insomniac during a pandemic]
i think i legit spent more hours awake at those times then sleeping if i look back at the last 3 yrs.
I think it was the Handyman because unless it was public knowledge that Marilyns teeth were under her corpse how did the handyman know she died biting and fighting so hard she lost her teeth???
Good point, plus that kind of exonorate sam cause how could he have killed her without bite marks
The handyman’s DNA is everywhere at the scene, he had Marilyn’s ring, and- oh yeah- he’s a convicted murderer. So agreed, it was him. Calling this unsolved seems odd, though not technically wrong.
Also, the fact that she was pregnant was interesting. She could have been having an affair with/been assaulted by the handyman, resulting in a pregnancy. The handyman could have found out and, not wanting his actions to be revealed, killed her to get rid of both her and her unborn child.
I'm not trying to defend him, but the media was on everyone's tails, and he could have easily found out little details like that from the media. My theory is that maybe Sam hired the handyman as a hitman in exchange for the cocktail rings since he could have possibly known that the handyman had killed before since they were close. And like @elementsfannfics3859 states, it could have easily been a murder to cover up an affair.
“Bushy haired white-form” Me: Santa Claus.
That's what I thought too, it's either santa or ghost from scoobydo. 🤷♀️🤔👻🤣
Damn, I remember when Santa only gave coal to naughty people
lmao 😭😭😂😂
You better watch out. You better watch out. YOU BETTER WATCH OUT. YOU BETTER WATCH OUT
This puts a whole new meaning to I saw Mommy kissing santa Claus
I love how at the 20 minute mark, they both just start mocking the lawyer because he believes only a woman could kill over jealousy..
He might not believe that himself and while statistics proves him right more times than not, those types of murder motives are more typical in women, he has to sell his story as best as possible to persuade the jury
Kendrick Mott nah if you’re a credible lawyer you go for the actual truth not the “most reliable” he probably did believe it or he wouldn’t have ever taken the case.
@@alexanderpumpkin3423 credible lawyer feels like an oxymoron, their job is to win the case not fight for the truth
Jonathan Williams yeah I mean someone with morals I guess??
Alexander Pumpkin it wasn’t her trial. His job was to create a reasoable doubt in the jury with the evidence and alternate suspects. If it was Houke’s trial then it would matter, but in this context it doesn’t. Also, Jonathan Williams, he was fighting for the truth, in that he was trying to prove that Sheppard wasn’t the killer (if you believe that Sheppard is innocent, which I do, that is). Furthermore, lawyers aren’t scumbags for the most part.
I stumbled on this case through the 'recent deaths' section on the Wikipedia main page. The man who got the conviction overturned, who was also on the O.J. Simpson team, just died at 87.
The underrated line: "Is this 911?" _"The Devil is here... send God!"_
"I wouldn't go on a murder spree" "neither would I" hmmmm... sounds like something a couple of murderers would say
🤔
These boys wouldn’t hurt a fly... but they might do an unsolved episode on a mysteriously deceased one
*Ricky Goldsworth has entered the chat*
🤐
"Hello, is this 911? The devil is here, send God." If laughter could kill me, I'd end up in one of their videos..
It's been a while since I exploded in laughter. I needed that.
Levene Grant what if your ghost only laughed. Any emotion of laughter, but only laughter. That would be kind of terrifying

6:21 Ryan sounds like an exhausted teacher trying to get their student back to the point of the work
I find it weird that Chip didn’t hear the sound of his mom screamin his dad’s name as she was being murdered by the white form
Exactly. That’s why I think Sam did it, and made up the story about the white form. Because how could he wake up to her when he was further away than his son?
@@smartaleks314 So you're just gonna dismiss all the evidence? The fact that he had no bite marks, that there was blood found splattered on the walls that didn't belong to him or his wife, or the fact that he had injuries on the back of his neck? You're gonna dismiss all of that just because her son didn't wake up, or because he was asleep on the couch or the guest room or whatever?
@@smartaleks314 That’s nowhere near enough evidence to get that conclusion but ok.
okay, so how many time have u not woke up to somebody yelling, or some other loud noise? you can't answer that now can you? just because somebody is screaming, doesnt mean everybody in the vicinity of 50ft have to jump out their beds 100%. also, waking up kids can be damn hard. you can pick them up and run around the room with them and they'll be fast asleep
maybe he was just a deep sleeper. i had a rlly loud alarm but my mom still had to physically wake me up
“the devil is here, send god” should be on that list of quotes that sound like they’re from beautiful pieces of literature but,, no its from obscure sonic fanfiction/shane madej
It's very Dril.
krys chwe I need that quote on a T-shirt
krys chwe this has like nothing to do with your comment but I see you have an Alice pfp, nice.
Or the sonic quote is just a reworded form of another quote and you're ignorant as hell..which you think?

Ryan: "unkempt hair" Looks like Shane is rubbing off on Ryan
He's trying to hide his rapidly receding hairline 👴🏽
Note to self: If I ever see Shane in a court room, I’m probably fucked
16:04 - Shane's impression of Ryan is *FUCKIN' HILARIOUS!!!* ... _"... a phantom has entered my home"_ hahaha
Satan its self could crawl out of hell, look Shane in the eye, and Shane would be like “this is one strong breeze huh”
Somehow, I imagine him saying that with a really snug face, and Satan just looking disappointed 😂😂
I know. Shane has lost his marbles.
No,no,no,no. Here's what would happen. Satan would take a goood look at Shane, think of what Shane has done, and say "Ya know what? You're next in line for my throne...see you when you get there."
He looks at satan everytime he looks in the mirror
I don't mean this as a diss to Shane in the slightest, I just like the fan theory that he's a demon.

textmachine09 or Ryan
I went to a camp about crime stuff,and we spent an entire day going over this case. We watched videos about it,looked at pictures, and filled a few huge pieces of paper with evidence for different suspects. We were never able to get a definitive answer. Every time we thought we had enough to prove someone was the killer, we would get new evidence. It was really interesting to do.
Rewatching... They’re in the “stressed student and his English lit. professor” stage...

So we need Shane and Ryan to start doing stories of crazy history events. Assassinations, celebrities that have gone haywire, donner party, and things of that nature.
Shane did the Donner party in Puppet History, and they did cover the JFK assassination in a previous episode of Unsolved.
Here’s what I don’t get if the murder just murdered this mans wife he simply just knocks out here husband and let him live ? Wouldn’t it be easier to just cut lose ends like that? Seems more like she was targeted
From the medical examiner’s report, the murderer hit Sam so hard that it would be easy to assume that it killed him.
Ryan: the 7 year old Shane: the stoner uncle babysitting
This is Parks so you mean kinda like Rick and Morty
😂😂😂
piaamay I’m only going to be able to see them as that now 😂
@@lalalapiaa it's so perfect
Omg ur right
I’m not related to these Sheppards but I have the same last name and live pretty close to Bay Village. My dad actually was contacted by a couple reporters when The Fugitive came out because they thought he was related to Sam Sheppard. He had just moved here from Ireland so there was literally no connection. We both find this case interesting cause it feels almost personal. It’s what got me interested in true crime too :)
Wow i cant believe they didnt comment on the fact that sam sheppard served time in prison for the murder of his wife, all the while proclaiming his innocence, then chose "killer" as his wrestling name. Thats either a subliminal, Freudian confession or really freakin sad that he was called that for so long while in prison as an innocent man that he relented and just embraced it
“The devil is here! Send god!” is objectively the funniest thing I’ve ever heard.
boop boop boop hello is this 911?
Every time I get really high I find this video and I always realize I've seen it 11 min in
why didn't they just test all the suspects blood with the one found in the door??
sam sheppard, a neurosurgeon: bushy-haired, white form me, an intellectual: cauliflower
Now I'm picturing cauliflower running 🤣
Brilliant 😂
@@TeeTee-gd3dt damn!!😂
I think Sam was the killer. His wrestling name killer substantiates that fact. Why on earth would he choose that name if he wasnt a killer.
Shane: Okay, let's say ryan is a doctor. Ryan: :) Shane: You killed your wife. Ryan: :(
Others in the office: 🤭
Hey how's your friend?
Jordan Sheeder ha
Fun Fact for Wrestling Fans, This man was the man that created the Mandible Claw move, which is now used a lot in Pro Wrestling from legends like Mick Foley to the Fiend nowadays.
I love they do dialog lines while they are explaining the story. Well done guys!! ❤
shane's impression of ryan ringing the police is generally how I would actually expect Ryan to react
"SEND GOD" lmao
“The devil is here, send God” is gonna be a good meme.
Hilarious!
I almost fell out of my chair when I heard that. It caught me so off guard.
@some guy named damian Bless you
I WAS THINKING ABOUT THIS HSHSHHD truly shane gives birth to the best memes
The devil is always there, shane is the lord of demons after all
Can safely say Shane's impression of Harrison Ford was top notch.
Shane: "I'd love to know the mayor" Me: the mayor in my town is my uncle LMAO
ryan calling shane's hair unkempt when his hair looks like THAT?!?!??!?!!?!?!?!?!!
milixtube please add the hashtag for post mortem 😂
he looks really nice with that hair tho
Yeah but Shane has a track record my guy. And I’m not gonna lie I kinda like Ryan’s hair dude
Ryan's hair looks like every emo boy ever
“The devil is here, call GOD” maybe the best quote from any unsolved episode to date.
Arielle Mitt yeah, but some cannot be beat
He said send god, not call god
"What do you do?" "I'm a doctor/pro-wrestler/murder suspect/Hitler-Buddy Divorcee"
15:33 this entire bit had me in tears what the hell is going on
“A pHaNtOm HaS eNtErEd My HoUsE!” “911? ThE dEvIl iS iN mY hOuSe! SeNd GoD!!!”
Uhh sir, this is a Wendy's.
my favorite moment of this whole episode :D
@@aaronthefrog3625 Fresh never frozen :P
I couldn't stop laughing for 10 minutes
God: OH MY ME! I GOTTA GET THERE *A-Team theme plays*
DO A VIDEO ON “TWO PRINCES IN THE TOWER” It’s been unsolved for over 500 years! Prince Edward and prince Richard, heirs to england. Edward was locked in the tower waiting to get crowned, Richard there for moral support, both vanished and no one really knows what happened
yes, very interesting case!
Brenzz Cupcake their Uncle knows. They were buried in the walls.
Black Butler fan eh?
lmao i think it's pretty obvious what happened to them.
Of them..... Don't worry..... They went on a adventure trip with a Japanese young man, an artificial English woman and their pet monster
I've watched this episode a year ago, and I still feel sorry for Sam. He lost his wife, lost an unborn child, lost his parent and parents in law, got canceled by the society, and been locked up in prison. It's just sad, and I imagine Sam, sighing in relief in his deathbed that at last he'll be at peace.
Fun fact: When Shepard became wrestler, he used his knowledge of anatomy to develop a wrestling submission move called the Mandible Claw, a move that would be eventually popularized by Mick Foley. Also, there is a sequel to The Fugitive, called U.S. Marshals. It has Wesley Snipes and Robert Downey Jr. In it.
God forbid they DNA test one of the handyman’s relatives and cross reference it with the mystery blood from the scene right?
Baby I assume they didn’t collect the blood sample so they didn’t have anything to cross-reference it with
No need. The handyman was known to be type A blood, and there was no Type A blood found at the crime scene. law2.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/sheppard/evidence.html
Who is the handyman
Kendall Bahlke how would they know it wasn’t her blood if they didn’t collect the blood sample?
When Ryan said there was a "white form" I immediately thought this was going to turn into a ghost theory....
i thought there would be an alien theory lmao
But if Sheppard had done it he wouldn’t have given such a vague discreption of the person that murdered his wife as that only drew more attention to himself, and also we kind of skipped over the whole there’s another persons blood on the wall
Right? If they were able to dna test that it wasn’t a match for Sam or Marilyn, why didn’t they compare it to the handyman after he was arrested for the other murder?
Isarrohn Ofrd. Such an amazing actor, his chemistry with Arrice Shrife in Rats Raws was incredible.
Can’t imagine what the son had to go through. His mother was murdered and his father is the main suspect who later became a wrestler. Can’t tell which was worse
Also his latest mother-in-law was around his age wasnt she? God that must've been a mess
@@aishaaofthedays Not to mention that on top of everything his grandparents passed away in the same time frame.
He went on to fight to clear his father's name and is now a founder on several boards for groups dealing with victims families and advocates against the death penalty. He has turned his experience into something positive.
the worst part was definitely his father becoming a wrestler.
@@cissyiniguez I want to read more about this but it's 9 at night and dark outside and I don't think I will be able to sleep if I read up more on it.
Ryan: "Why does this not look good for Sam?" Shane: "Cause all his shit's covered in blood"
Jace Annis I want to like this but you’re at 420 & I just can’t do it!
Read this exactly as they said it. NICE.
