I find it funny when people have something negative to say about creators who do true crime content. You're watching these long videos and commenting midway through. You decided to click on the video with the obvious thumbnail and obvious caption, yet you're appalled at what you're hearing and seeing. Poor you. You have issues with "likes and shares" yet act like true crime magically snuck its way into your algorithm and you got tricked into watching. Yeah okay.

You didn't get here by accident. Leaving those emotional comments behind an anonymous profile won't change your world.These people will leave comments on multiple videos and swear they're kickin knowledge too. How many videos you gonna watch? Just admit you wanna start your own channel, lol. Posts like these are always inspired by actual funny events. Not feeding trolls. It's just genuinely goofy to witness.

As this year comes to a close, I have to accept the passing of my cousin Valerie. It's only been a little over two weeks and will forever hit hard. I hadn't seen Val since I was a child, but we kept in contact with the help of social media and became very close over time. Our bond tightened as we learned more about our families past. My uncle (Valeries father) and my father were very close brothers. The streets took my uncle a long time ago and it caused decades of heartache for many in the family. It's a story we always intended on bringing out together. Its still coming. I just never imagined I'd be doing it in her memory. She was a great person. Wouldn't be surprised if supporters of my channel knew her too. Anyone will tell you the same. Rest in peace, Valerie Ortiz. You'll never be forgotten.

Make sure you go into the new appreciating your loved ones. Life changes fast. Have a happy new year everyone. Stay safe tonight. 2026 is going to be a wild one for the channel. Appreciate you all.

A new video hits the channel tomorrow. This story is just as heavy as my last and picks up a few years after Lisa Steinberg. When this story broke it was just as huge in the media as Lisa Steinberg, Elisa Izquierdo, and Nixzmary Brown, but just as quickly as her name was in the papers and news, it was like the childs name just vanished. Tomorrow that changes. Pleass, go in with caution. See you guys soon. Thank you for all your support!

Good afternoon! A new video hits the channel tomorrow. Took a while due to scheduling interviews and gathering a ton of footage off VHS tapes which anyone will tell you is a lonnnggg process. My main interview will be featured in tomorrow's video and its a firsthand account from one of the homicide detectives on the scene the morning tragedy struck. The case gained national coverage and is still spoken about today. This video is my longest yet sitting at just over an hour. See you soon.

Everyone, please join me in wishing Patrick Alford a happy belated birthday. Born on November 28th of 2002, he's just turned 23 years old. This is a picture Patrick's Mother shared with me a few months ago. Patrick went missing while throwing out garbage in the hallway of his foster mothers building out in Brooklyn, New York. This was back in January of 2010. He was 7 years old. Nobody has seen or heard from him since. His story is below for anyone unfamiliar. Happy Birthday, Patrick.
