Full transcript with timestamps

I got as far as a doorway I didn't. Yeah, don't go in. Oh, this is a murder scene.

It's 12 minutes past 1 minute time. You're under suspicion of murder. I'd like to send a message now to the adolescent males to unbburden himself of this stigma that that society's put on him.

Bodies in bin bags, diabolical mental health, and cops that ignored cries for help. Humans can be extraordinary creatures capable of immense kindness and also unspeakable cruelty. And nowhere is that contrast more recognized than in true crime itself. Because the most terrifying thing about true crime is the realization that these people are not monsters hiding in the shadows, but in fact ordinary people in ordinary places crossing lines that should never be crossed. And nowhere is that contrast more starkly seen than in these five cases.

Welcome or welcome back to Coffee House Crime, folks. My name is Adrian and today we'll be exploring some of the most horrifying stories that I've covered in 2025. Ranging from Argentina to England and Romania to the United States, these stories will leave you feeling cold, angry, and shocked. Oh, and by the way, you're watching another video by Coffee House Crime. So, if you like true crime, strange or dark stories, please do consider subscribing. It really helps the channel out. And now, with that said, please grab yourself a coffee and let's start with the case of Stuart Everett.

In the spring of 2024, Manchester found itself at the center of a nightmare when parts of a human body started turning up all over the city. This including an abandoned bunker, the banks of a quiet reservoir, and multiple parks. However, the only clue they would find was from grainy surveillance footage of a lone man carrying heavy shopping bags through quiet streets. That is when they gave this killer the nickname heavy bagman. But what they didn't know is who he actually was or who he had murdered. The investigation that followed was absolutely relentless. And in the end, their efforts would unmask not just a horrific killer, but a parasite who continued to feed off his victim's life long after taking it. So, who is heavy bagman? Who was he impersonating? And what was their backstory?

Welcome to Manchester, folks. A city that was forged in the heat of the industrial revolution and redefined through music, football, and an attitude as sharp as its winter rain. It's a place where old red brick mills stand guard over buzzing nightclubs, where cobbled alleys hold century old secrets, and where the locals are equal parts frazzled and hilariously unbothered. And uh yes, before she messages me about it, I am including my sister in this population. By the way, a quick shout out to her for recording some of the footage which is used in this video.

Thank you, Katrina. However, for all of its northern warmth and swagger, Manchester certainly does have a darker underbelly, including shadows that cling to abandoned tunnels, forgotten bunkers, and places that the city would rather not remember. And it was one of those places, more specifically the castle bunker, that an explorer stumbled across something truly horrifying. And I'm talking top tier terrifying here, because what they found was a human torso wrapped in cellophane. To paint the picture for you properly, Cursel bunker has been left to rot just as tragically as the poor soul found inside it. Tucked away in the Kursel Dale area, it is so forgotten that it won't even show on Google Maps. And by the way, Kursel Dale may sound familiar to some of you older locals, too. Because, as you might know, it was once home to one of Britain's poorest slums. Back then, life in Kursle was faced with poverty.

Rats, damp, and trash were all merely normal, and every complaint of bronchitis was met with a shrug. Step outside back then, and you would see rows of crumbling backto-back terraces, and alleyways piled so high with rubbish that you would barely be able to see the end. Now, it is true that Kursel really did prop up Britain's dying industrial revolution. But when that finally met its end, well, so did the area. It was in 1974 that the slum was demolished, replaced with patches of green and then quietly forgotten about. Of course, all except for its bunker. The bunker itself was a relic from the Cold War, promising defense in any sort of nuclear attack.

But now, it's just a sealed off shell that hides Manchester's darkest secrets. And of course, that secret was an unidentified human torso.

We're investigating the discovery of human remains that were found by passers by here at Kurszel Wetlands yesterday evening. We do not know the identity of the person or whether they are male or female. From forensic inquiries so far, we believe that these remains are likely to have been here for a matter of days. And it really is a tragic case. We know this will be concerning for people in the local area and we ask anyone with concerns or any information whatsoever to speak to uniformed officers who will be in the area for a number of days.

These are very early stages in what is a murder investigation and is a tragic case. We are keeping an open mind and we do all that we can to establish the circumstances and provide answers as soon as we can. Thank you.

The grizzly discovery was made on April the 4th, 2024. And let's be honest, there wasn't a shred of doubt in any detective's mind. This certainly was a homicide. After all, carving off your own torso and then hiding it separately from your limbs would be quite impressive. The problem is, they had no idea who the victim was and no suspect in sight. And so, naturally, this kicked off a massive investigation that sprawled all across Greater Manchester. And as it turns out, that torso, well, it was only the beginning. As detectives dug deeper, they turned towards surveillance footage and doorbell cameras, hoping to catch a glimpse of whoever was responsible. And sure enough, as more and more body parts began to appear all over the city, they spotted a man who would lead them to one of Manchester's most disturbing cases.

As seen in this surveillance footage, a man appears to be casually hauling a teal covered heavyduty shopping bag, which disturbingly seemed to contain the same cellophane wrapped torso that was later discovered in Kursel bunker. He carried it through a busy commercial street, blending in as if he were just running everyday errands. Dozens of people seemed to pass him by, none the wiser that they were merely meters away from human remains. Moments later, he was then caught on another camera heading towards the park and then again behind the actual park itself. Despite combing through hours and hours of surveillance footage, they still couldn't figure out who this mysterious person was. And so with no name to go on, they simply dubbed him the heavy bag man. In the meantime, Cursel Dale was sealed off from the public as forensic teams scoured every inch of the park.

But despite two painstaking weeks of searching, they came up empty-handed. Although they would eventually find mob body parts, not a single additional one was found in that park. And when they ran the victim's DNA through the National Police Database, well, unfortunately, they were met with nothing. At least that kind of confirmed that whoever the victim was, they had never actually been in any serious trouble with the police before. But of course, with no more remains, no fresh leads, and not a single additional trace of heavy bagman. This put officers and detectives in a very stagnant position.

However, all of that would change when Manchester police found other body parts appearing all over the city. So, before we continue with this story, I think we should park it there for a while and instead focus on the people who are rather important to this one. And so on that note, let me introduce you to Stuart Everett. Although Stuart lived in Manchester and was a Derby local through and through, he actually came from proud Polish roots. Born under the name of Roman Jimaki, he later changed his name to Stuart Everett, a decision that would help him feel more connected to his own British upbringing. To those closest to him, he was simply known as Benny.

However, don't mistake either of those name changes for shame, because it was actually far from it. And as it turns out, Stuart's parents were actually true Polish war heroes. Captured during World War II, they would then endure two brutal years in a Soviet concentration camp before then finally making their escape and starting a new life in the UK. Growing up alongside his brothers and sister, Stuart would learn the importance of community and respect for one another. As an adult, he dedicated himself to public service, working for both the NHS and Department for Work and Pensions. And over those years, he would earn a reputation as a hard-working civil servant who genuinely cared about people's well-being. And although he would never marry or have his own children, it turns out that he was family to his own community instead. By his mid60s, Stuart made the hard decision to step back from full-time

work. Sadly, he began to suffer from several health complications, including a stroke, which would require him to use a walking stick at all times. And so with this setback, it was now finally time for him to kick back and relax. Fast forward to the year of 2013, and Stuart was now more devoted to his Polish community than ever before. He ran several English classes weekly, helping newly arrived Polish immigrants in Manchester not only learn the language, but also feel a sense of belonging. By now, he was living in a rented three-bedroom house on Warsley Road in the Winton area of Salford, Manchester, and not wanting to live alone, the other two bedrooms were also rented out to other Polish migrants. And that is exactly how he crossed paths with two fellow countrymen who were named Michael Pchovski and Marson Makovich. Now, although Stuart lived with both Michael and Marson, we're going to focus on that second name

because he's the main person we should be talking about. By the time Marson moved into Stuart's house, the two had actually already known each other for well over a decade, with Marson moving in around 2017 after breaking up with his partner. Now, it is worth saying here that Marson had two children with this partner. And although the relationship had sadly ended, they did remain on good terms and he would visit his children often. Now, for most of his adult life, Marson worked in fast food restaurants, occasionally working in the Trafford Center whenever work was available. Now, here is where it gets interesting, but it turns out that friends and neighbors would often see Stuart and Marson together where they seemed especially close. In fact, in private emails to a friend, Stuart would even describe Marson as his partner. So, despite the massive age gap of around 25 years, there probably was some level of

romance or at least intimacy going on between the two. However, what was clear is that Stuart deeply cared about Marson. In fact, he treated him with great kindness and he wasn't just some roommate or a friend, but he was also a mentor, a confident, and in many ways, family. Now, for the sake of this story, it's worth saying that they had their own separate bedrooms. But what is also obvious is that the bond they shared went far beyond that of ordinary housemates. However, there was a dark side to Marson, too. A fascination for gore and violence aside, he was capable of doing extraordinarily horrific things. And all of that would come to light in 2024. You see, throughout 2023 and the years prior, Marson had actually dug himself a huge financial grave. He took out multiple loans and racked up more than £60,000 of debt. And every penny was spent just as quickly as he borrowed it. And when that pool of

borrowed money ran dry, well, the repayments he'd promised to make never happened. Oh, and if that wasn't enough already, he had also maxed out all of his credit cards at over £14,000. Seriously, this man must have literally thought that debt was a hobby. But instead of clawing his way back with honest work, Marson would sadly do the opposite and quit altogether. Being out of work since November of 2023. And now he was just drifting about the house with no job, plan, or desire. And sadly, in his twisted mind, a new solution emerged. Why claw his way out of debt when he could simply replace the man who'd helped him the most? And so Marson made a decision that would stain the house forever. He would murder Stuart Everett in cold blood, take over all of his bank accounts, and squeeze every last drop from his identity. He would quite literally become his parasite. And just like that, Heavy Bag Man was born.

It was sometime during the late hours of March the 27th, 2024 that Marson set his plan into motion. Stuart had settled down for the evening, watching the football match from a sofa in his bedroom as he rested in his pajamas. But Marson, he unfortunately had other plans. And with a hammer in his hand, he slowly approached Stuart from behind. It was in that moment that he struck him on the top and the back of his head at least four times, with each swing cracking deeper than the last, and with so much force that Stuart's skull quite literally gave way beneath it. The medical evidence that was left behind on his body painted a very grim picture. It appeared that Stuart clung to life just long enough to draw in only a few ragged breaths, all of which was confirmed by the blood that was found in his lungs.

We believe that moments later, he would sadly pass away. Unfortunately, the worst was still yet to come on the bedroom floor, and while equipped with a knife and a hacksaw, Marson then slowly started to carve Stuart into pieces. Of course, with his aim to reduce him into packages that were then small enough to carry. After the deed was done, various body parts were then meticulously wrapped, some of which were put into cling film, while others were stuffed into black bin bags. And then over the following week, he began the grim process of disposing them all across the city. The police would later learn that he made at least 11 trips from his house, each time lugging a shopping or travel bag with Stuart Slims inside. And while out in the public, he would then walk by hundreds of people who could have never guessed what he was actually carrying beside them. His chosen dumping grounds were the quiet corners of North

Manchester and the Salford area, which of course included secluded parks, forgotten open spaces, bunkers, and the still waters around Black Leachch Reservoir. And by the way, it was that reservoir where he would decide to get rid of the hacksaw, too. But there was a new problem for Marson, that being the Easter weekend, which always brought crowds. With that in mind, he decided to pause his disposal process and instead store what remained of Stuart in a freezer in the home until the coast was clear. And with Marson still worried that he could eventually be caught, he decided to take his cruelty a step further by separating Stuart's face from his skull. Of course, in an effort to prevent his identity from ever being discovered, after hacking Stuart's body into pieces and then scattering him across Manchester, Marson did not stop there.

In fact, he would quite literally become Stuart's parasite in every sense of the word. To begin with, he lied to the landlord and the other housemate, Michael, claiming that Stuart had simply gone back to Derby and was not planning on returning. And it turns out that faking messages to people wouldn't be that hard either because Marson actually already knew the password to Stuart's phone. And so with that said, he then started to text Stuart's own family while pretending to be him. Basically saying that he had now moved out of the property and also was too unwell to take any phone calls. He then commandeered all of Stuart's bank accounts and basically bled him dry for every single penny. And if that wasn't bad enough already, he then impersonated Stuart over the phone and even slurred his voice to make it sound like a man who was recovering from a stroke. After that, he then hired a skip company with

Stuart's money to basically throw all of his stuff away. And then he went after his pension scheme. Now, of course, Stuart's own family would eventually become suspicious. I mean, they hadn't even seen pictures or videos of Stuart's new home. And so to counteract that, Marson went to an open home and then recorded the experience to make it look like Stuart now lived there instead. He would even send birthday cards to Stuart's family, creating this illusion that he was still alive and well. Not only that, but he regularly visited random ATM machines to collect cash from Stuart's bank accounts, where he would then go and spend the money on fast food like KFC. Meanwhile, back at the house, Marson worked hard to get rid of any evidence of the murder. With a skip now at his disposal, he could easily dump Stuart's belongings and anything suspicious. As already mentioned, he disposed of the hammer and the hacksaw

in the local reservoir. And as for all the evidence which couldn't be moved, well, bleach and antibacterial wipes would have to do. He told the landlord that all three of them were moving out. Meanwhile, telling the other housemate, Michael, that the landlord had given notice to leave. He then cleared out all of Stuart's belongings, telling Michael that his family had already collected it all. However, some things are much harder to erase, and the carpet in Marson's bedroom told a very different story. Blood stains were something that not even a rug doctor could fix. So, he cut out the stained patch entirely before then replacing it with a piece from Stuart's own carpet. He then hid this missing patch under his bed and, believe it or not, forgot to throw it out in the trash. His cover up dragged on for almost an entire month, and by the time Marson was finished with his frantic cleaning,

police had already made their first discovery. Of course, that being a human torso and cursel bunker. In addition to this, detectives had also found several surveillance video clips of him carrying suspicious bags around the city. But of course, despite him having the name of heavy bagman, the police still at this stage had no idea who he was. Meanwhile, it turns out that Marson was already planning his next move because, as it turns out, he had started researching rental properties in Alakante in Spain. Of course, that meaning that not only was he ready to vanish abroad, but also abandon his former partner and children.

Back in Salford, neighbors began to sense that something was off. Were they once saw Stewart tending to the garden or popping down to the corner shop? Well, now there was only silence and no sign of him at all. Marson thought that he had everyone fault here. But his carefully spun web of lies was all about to fall apart in ways that he never saw coming. And unfortunately for him, it would all be at the very last moment. It was on April the 25th, 2024 that something remarkable happened. By now, Stuart had been dead for almost a month, and for the last 3 weeks, the police had been aware of his remains, but sadly still had no idea who he was. Despite their relentless efforts, the elusive figure that they'd nicknamed heavy bagman remained unidentified. However, that was all about to change with thanks to a stroke of pure luck. Investigation support officer Clare Deli was walking down a quiet residential street when she

happened to glance up and spot a man who looked eerily similar to heavy bagman. Acting fast, Clare and her colleague both alerted nearby unformed officers while she discreetly kept Marson in sight. She tailed him just long enough for backup to arrive. And when they did, the officers then shadowed him onto a bus. And it was there without warning that Marson Mayerovich was in big trouble.

Being signed detained for the purpose of a search identity. Okay. or if you could pass your mobile with a van to collect this potential customer that's coming in.

Have you got anything sharp or anything? Okay, it's fine. Don't worry. We'll just check and then

blaster mistake 100%. I know. I appreciate that. All we've had is information passed to us from officers investigating the a serious matter as to whether just on

not today but it has happened recently. Okay. It's 12 minutes past 1 minute time. You're under arrest suspicion of murder. Do you understand the offense? You're under arrest for the meantime. Okay. Suspicion of murder for an incident which occurred in Sulford. All right. So, you were taken to police station for question regarding that.

Okay. I go with you. Any questions? Do it again if you want. Right. I've seen that. What's your

What's your And just like that, they had him. Marson was now finally in handcuffs. Once they had him, everything began to fall into place because after realizing where he lived, they learned that his housemate Stuart had actually been missing for weeks. And of course, that would end the mysterious identity of their victim. By the way, it is actually a miracle that officer Deli spotted Marson when she did because, as it turns out, Marson was going to move out of that property later that day. And with him searching for places to live in Spain, well, that would have made things a whole lot harder for officers. After a quick sweep of the property and then a couple rounds of DNA testing, officers would learn everything they needed to know. And sadly, Stuart was in fact confirmed to be the victim. When they began to inspect Marson's bedroom, they found a few horrible clues. For example, the carpet that lay beneath would tell its

own story. It turns out that Stuart's blood had soaked right through the underlay and deep into the floorboards. Under a UV light, more blood was found, and in the fridge freezer, DNA matching Stuart was also confirmed. This was only the beginning, by the way, because under a UV light, more blood was discovered. Meanwhile, downstairs and in the fridge freezer, DNA matching Stuart was found. Now, you would think that getting caught red-handed would probably crack someone wide open, but Marson, not at all. In fact, he was actually stone cold and said nothing in the interrogation room.

So, naturally, the search would then fall to the boots on the ground. And over the following days, detectives comb through rivers, woodlands, urban wastelands, and reservoirs, and in the end found 19 separate crime scenes. However, in the end, only onethird of Stuart's body was discovered, which means even to this day, more than twothirds of him are still out there waiting to be discovered. Detectives would eventually learn that Marson had circled Black Leach Reservoir several times. Deep beneath the water, divers dredged up a hacksaw, and on its blade, Stuart's blood was discovered clear as day. But perhaps the most chilling discovery was still yet to come. Because in a stroke of good luck, divers would find all four parts of Stuart's skull.

It had been broken into four separate fragments during the attack before then being scattered into different parts of that large murky reservoir. Anyway, when it came to Marson's trial, things were not looking good. A forensic pathologist reconstructed Stuart's skull before then confirming what investigators had already believed. That he had been murdered by multiple blows to the head with an object that was reminiscent to the hammer that Marson had purchased. And as for his defense, well, that didn't stand a chance. Not only was his DNA all over the murder weapon, but it was also sprinkled over dozens of other articles of evidence.

Detectives poured over more than 2,000 hours of surveillance footage, collected over 3,000 exhibits, and took statements from more than 450 witnesses. And obviously, nearly everything pointed straight back towards him. Oh, and here's a picture of the sofa under UV light. Not only was it drenched in Stuart's blood, but Marson's DNA was all over it, too. I mean, the man even paid to have that blood soaked sofa hidden away in a storage unit, hoping that no one would ever find it. And how about that birthday card that he had sent to Stuart's family pretending to be him still alive and well. Yeah, the handwriting was confirmed to belong to Marson, and the paper itself was covered with his grubby fingerprints. The prosecution would also highlight many additional details, such as purchasing a hacksaw and a hammer in advance, and the messages he had sent on behalf of Stuart in the days following his murder. The

judge would also express his repulsion towards Marson, recognizing that he showed an extremely distasteful willingness and perhaps even enthusiasm to butchering his friend's body. Even throughout his trial, Marson denied having any involvement in Stuart's murder. In fact, he would still call it one giant misunderstanding. But the jury saw right through his lies, and in March of 2025, and following a 3-week trial, they officially found him guilty of murder. They determined that the motive was plain and simple greed. because Martin had racked up an irreoverable amount of debt and so he thought he could simply kill Stuart and then siphon all his money. As a result, Marson was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum term of 34 years behind bars, which thankfully means that at the very earliest he won't be free again until 208. And by then, Marson's going to be 76 years old.

This is a deeply sad story about a man who gave so much to his community only to be betrayed and then exploited by someone he trusted. Although Stuart wasn't in the best of health when he died, he had never lost his zest for life. He was known for being jolly, friendly, and mildmannered, a caring man who remained very close to his family right until the end. Friends describe him as a gentle and sociable soul with an upbeat personality. And one of his friends put it quite simply that he was the kind of man that everyone got on with. Someone who was easy to talk to and always ready with a warm welcome. In a statement, Stuart's family said, "Even though it has been almost 12 months, we are still haunted by Benny's death, which has now been made even more painful knowing the lengths that were taken to planet. It is truly difficult to put into words how much he meant to us and how much we will all miss him.

Stuart was a true historian and collector and unfortunately with him holding all of his family's old paperwork, well, all of that was lost when Marson threw all of it into the skip. He threw away decades of wedding photos, birth certificates, memories, and memoirs. And so it turns out that not only is Marson a horrible killer, but also a vile parasite who denied an entire family of their heritage. I mean, the man quite literally went to a KFC after dumping a body part in the park. Who even does that? It remains eerily unclear if other parts of Stuart will ever be found because even to this day, Marson remains uncooperative. But perhaps through time, the monster will eventually change his mind. After all, he has a very long time to think about it. I don't think there is much to debate in this story because the evidence available is very cut and dry.

But saying that, I would love to know what you think about this one because the story is absolutely wild. So, with that said, please share your thoughts in the comments section down below cuz I genuinely like to read them. You know, the reason that this case stuck so deeply with me is the sheer and almost casual heartlessness behind it. Because Marson wasn't a stranger of some passing mate, but he had known Stuart for years. He was quite literally welcomed into his home and given stability, support, and a deep friendship. And yet somehow all of that kindness was returned in the most horrifying and betraying way possible.

It is moments like this that remind you that some people are capable of extreme cruelty, even to those who have done nothing but show love, care, and support back to them. So our next case takes us from England all the way down to Argentina. And although most of the details are very different, this theme of betrayal by a close one remains hauntingly similar. And so on that note, please grab yourself another coffee because this is the case of Catalina Gutierrez. This is Catalina Gutierrez, an influencer and budding architect who lived in the heart of Argentina. But on a random evening in July of 2024, she would suddenly vanish, leaving her family, friends, and more than 100,000 followers in fear. While the police slowly clocked in to investigate, Catalina's parents were hard at work listening to rumors growing around town.

And after following reports of an ominous vehicle, they were left with a very chilling discovery. But sadly, that would only be the beginning of horrible shocks to this terrible story. Welcome, or welcome back to Coffee House Crime, folks. My name is Adrian, and today we're diving into the horrible world of betrayal, suppression, and rejection. Oh, and we're heading to Argentina for this one. staying loyal to our international true crime series. By the way, if you'd like to see more true crime and coffee, then please do consider subscribing. And now, with that out the way, please grab yourself a coffee and let's caffeinate while we investigate. This is the case of Catalina Guuter.

Buenos dios folks, and welcome to the enchanting land of Argentina. Nestled between the towering Andes of Chile and the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean, Argentina proudly holds the title of the eighth largest country in the world. Now, this should come as no surprise to you, but it has an extraordinarily diverse and expansive landscape that bursts with life at every single turn. However, beneath this picturesque surface lies a darker reality. The beauty of Argentina's natural wonders is marred by the shadows of deforestation and pollution, which of course is driven by the relentless march of expansive farming and grazing for the food industry, all in the name of profit. And unfortunately, that is not the only thing falling prey here. The very fabric of Argentine society is threatened, much like its environment. That's because corruption runs deep within the economic veins of this country as Argentina

grapples with the crime rate much higher than the global average which includes the distinction of having the ninth highest murder rate in the entire world. So sadly, I guess you could say it is no wonder why we're drawn to explore this nation today. Our journey takes us back to the year 2023 and to the vibrant city of Cordoba. You can find Cordoba roughly 500 miles northwest of the bustling capital Buenoseres. I suppose you could describe Cordoba as a key economic, political, and educational center, making it one of the wealthiest cities in the country. However, much like the rest of the nation, it does also face extremely high crime rates, ranging from small things like pickpocketing and scams, right the way through to murders and drug trafficking, which of course keeps the police busy. It was on the warm evening of July the 18th, 2023 that a heavy air of unease settled over a small family from the Analdi

neighborhood. And that's because their daughter, Catalina Gutierrez, was missing. And as the moon set and the sun began to rise, there was still no sign of her whatsoever. The Guteras family tried to stay hopeful, but as the hours ticked by, that concern would slowly turn into dread. And so together and making the right decision, they walked through the doors of their local police station to report her as missing. The group was a somber mix of Catalina's closest circle, including her mother Elanora, her father Marcelo, her sister Lucia, her boyfriend Lazaro Alvea, and her friend Neestor Sto. The group reported that the last time anyone saw Catalina was around 9:00 p.m. the evening before. It is noted that she was in good spirits and left her family to meet friends for a casual night of bowling at the patio shopping center which is a popular spot in the heart of the city. Before heading out, she sent a

cheerful voice message to her boyfriend Lazaro, assuring him that she was on her way and that she was looking forward to seeing him soon. Sadly, that promise was never fulfilled because Catalina would never arrive at the shopping center. In fact, that voice message that she had sent to him would be the last one that anyone would ever receive from her. As the hours crept into the night, her loved ones grew increasingly alarmed. Not only would calls to her phone go unanswered, but her texts remained unread, which really was an anomaly for Catalina, who was never without her phone and would always respond when in need. It was in that moment that her friends, who were confused and worried, reached out to her family, only to discover that they too had heard nothing since she left the home. As the night dragged on, so did their restless pacing and their silent prayers. And by morning, well, that brought no relief

either because there was no sign of Catalina and no reassuring message to explain her absence. And as we know, by midday, they decided to head down to the police station. Lazaro and Neesa would join the family shortly after with their presence a clear testament not only to the love but also the concern that Catalina inspired in those around her. And with no confidence in the situation, it is no surprise that they all demanded support immediately. Now, unfortunately, the news of Catalina's disappearance came at the same time as a few other unsettling rumors. Residents from another neighborhood in the city called the authorities to report of an unfamiliar face lurking in the shadows. And by sunrise, they noticed an unknown vehicle on the side of the road. With smoked out windows, bystanders could not get a proper view inside the vehicle. Not that they wanted to, because not only was it damaged, but it rire of ash. And as you

may or may not be guessing, a horrible surprise lay within. But before we continue, who precisely was Catalina Guuter? And how did this horrible mystery unfold? Catalina Guuter was born in the year 2003 to her devoted parents Elanora Volenvider and Marcelo Guuterz. It was shortly after her birth that the family of four which was completed by her older sister Lucia decided to settle on the outskirts of Cordoba city where they would then go on to build a warm and nurturing home. Her father, Marcelo, was a renowned architect, which of course brought creativity and ambition into the household, while her mother, Elanora, devoted herself to raising their two daughters, ensuring that they all had a very happy and balanced lifestyle.

Catalina and Lucia shared an unshakable sisterly bond. They were well known to grow up not only as siblings, but also as best friends. It was no one other than their father who sincerely appreciated this closeness, proudly saying that his daughters had a divine connection and would rarely quarrel as they grew up. Catalina was very close to her father, too, and she leaned into his passions. This mostly included music and travel, and from a young age, he would even teach her to play the guitar, which is a skill that she would enjoy throughout her teenage years. Inspired by her father's passion in his career, Catalina dreamed of following him in his footsteps. And so after graduating from high school, she made that dream become a reality by enrolling in the University of Cordoba to study architecture.

Catalina was more than just a bright student. She was so radiant to be around as described by her friends. Her friendly, bubbly, and confident personality made her absolutely magnetic. and her beauty and her charm extended well beyond her immediate circle. We know this because she was actually very popular through social media. Through her Instagram and her Tik Tok accounts, Catalina shared many snapshots of her life. This included her stylish outfits, her adventures around Cordoba, her travels with friends and family, and the cherished moments she spent with her sister Lucia and of course her dog. Her content resonated widely amongst people as in total she would amass over 100,000 followers on Instagram and 35,000 followers on Tik Tok. It was through this online popularity that she would also find sponsorship opportunities from local brands which not only provided her a sense of business ownership but also

financial support for her studies. moving into university. This would also bring many new connections and opportunities which in her case included love. And it was around this time that she would cross paths with a man named Lazaro Lvida. Both studying architecture and sharing a deep Christian faith, Catalina and Lazaro quickly found common ground. Their connection grew naturally and not before long their bond blossomed into a loving relationship. They soon became official and it was clear to everyone around them just how smitten they were with each other. Their love was undeniable and they were very open about their relationship too. Often sharing many pictures of their life together on social media, a move that for many female influencers is often considered to be detrimental to their image. The couple stayed in constant contact with each other. So much so that on the night she disappeared, we know

that her final message was sent to him. Her voice message was short but sweet and unfortunately was sure to leave a chilling impression on him in the hours after. All she said was, "I'm on my way, my love. See you soon." With Lazaro not only being her partner, but also the last one to hear from her. He was destined to be a key person of interest. However, his alibi was rock solid because not only was he with friends in the middle of a shopping center, but this center was littered with surveillance cameras. So officers deemed him to be innocent very quickly.

Now it is worth noting here that with Catalina being an adult and also an adult who hadn't been missing for more than 24 hours, the police were quite reluctant to get involved at this stage. And so as you can imagine, especially in a city that is quite rife in crime, her case was not treated with immediate haste. However, this did not sit well with her family because they knew at the bottom of their hearts that she would never leave them in the dark like that. And so they decided to do their own investigating, retracing Catalina's movements on the night of July the 16th, her family pieced together the final moments leading up to her disappearance.

Now they knew that she had left home in her mother's silver Renault Cleo and then planned to pick up her close friend Neestor Sto before then heading to the patio shopping center. So naturally, this was a good place to start. However, when her mother called Nester to check in, he told her that Catalina never actually arrived and therefore failed to pick him up. Glancing out of his window, he saw nothing unusual in his quiet residential street. And after realizing that something was arai, he decided to reach out to Lazaro in the morning. By now, Lazaro was deeply worried about his girlfriend. And so, the two began to search for Catalina. But sadly, despite their efforts, they would find no trace of her. By midday, they joined her family at the police station. While filing the report, Catalina's sister would reveal that they always shared the locations via their phones for safety.

And so, checking Catalina's iPhone, Lucia found it to be pinging at 3900 Pedo Ch, which is a residential area found in South Cordova. Rather concerningly, this lead would coincide with reports from other neighborhood residents. Residents who called the authorities to report that strange people had been lurking in the area the night prior and that an unfamiliar car had now appeared overnight. The connection between these detailed seemed to be far too coincidential, therefore prompting the police to investigate and find out what was going on with that vehicle. And sadly, what they found would irreparably shatter the lives of the Quera's family.

Upon arriving at the scene, officers would spot the silver Renault Cleo parked along the roadside. Inside the vehicle's back seat, they made a grim discovery. That being the partially burned remains of a young woman. As you can likely guess, the victim was soon identified to be Catalina. It appeared that the fire had been set hastily and rather unsuccessfully, leaving most of her body intact. The area was then sealed off for investigation, while Catalina's remains were sent in for autopsy, and the autopsy's results would reveal a horrifying truth. The fire had not been the cause of her death and merely was an attempt to destroy all evidence. The actual cause was asphixxiation and her body bore multiple physical injuries which suggested that she had been violently attacked. With the discovery of Catalina's remains, the missing person's report was naturally turned into a homicide investigation.

With that said, two key questions emerged here. Who was responsible for her murder and why? From here on out, the authorities were quick to identify several key suspects, which, as we know, included her boyfriend, Lazaro. However, as we know, surveillance cameras and eyewitnesses would rule him out quite early. And so, with that in mind, the authorities diverted their attention to the next person who should have seen her, that being Neesa. And when detectives learned that he had no rocksolid alibi, they decided to dig a little deeper. As I've already said, she was expected to pick him up so the two could then go to the mall together. But as we know, he claims that she never actually made it to his property, which is quite interesting to say the least, because that is not what her mobile phone data was saying. Phone records show that she had spent a total of 38 minutes outside or around his

property. And when they decided to look even closer, they realized that Nester had deleted several text messages, which, if you ask me, are not really the actions of an innocent man. And so with the spotlight now slowly focusing on him, I think it's about time to introduce you to Nester Sto. Netor known by his friends as Nuni was a friend of Catalina. Originally from the Baralosshi region of Argentina, which is a stunning area near the Chilean border, Nester made a significant move to pursue his dream of studying architecture. Of course, it was this ambition that eventually brought him into Catalina's life. Their social circles overlapped and eventually the two became close friends. They got on very well. However, Catalina was already in a committed relationship. Not only that, but she never expressed any romantic interest in Nester either. To Catalina, their bond was purely platonic. Netor was a regular

visitor to the Guerrera's household, and he would even spend plenty of time around her boyfriend and her dog. So, his boundaries should have been very obvious. not only to him but also to others. He joined family barbecues, studied with Catalina, and played with the family dog. And so, by all accounts, he seemed like a harmless and a supportive friend, with Catalina's mother recalling nothing unusual about him. However, beneath the surface, Nester harbored deep feelings far beyond friendship. In fact, he was obsessively in love with Catalina to the point where his admiration bordered on fantasy. He would seize every opportunity to spend time with her, frequently contacted her, and was a constant presence in her online lifestyle, engaging with many posts at every single turn. Although he would outwardly respect her relationship with Lazaro, it did become quite clear that his suppressed emotions were

simmering dangerously close to the surface, rather concerningly. But as soon as Nester fell into detective spotlight, there were several troubling stories about his past which emerged. For example, a former classmate of Catalina's shared a disturbing encounter with him at camp where he had attempted to force himself on her after a night out. Apparently, she had to physically push him away and shout at him after he refused to take no for an answer. Another woman who was a former girlfriend of his would also come forward to describe Neesa as possessive and extremely controlling during the relationship. These two revelations painted a chilling picture of a man who when denied what he wanted could lash out not only in dangerous but also violent ways. So, if he could behave so aggressively towards a classmate in a casual setting, then what might he be capable of when consumed by an obsessive

infatuation with someone that he could never have? Well, despite these dark undercurrents, Catalina never expressed any concerns about Nester. To her, he was simply one of her closest friends and someone she trusted and welcomed into her life. This information along with the mobile phone data was finally enough to obtain a search warrant and also arrest Nester while they searched his property. In the meantime, he was questioned about Catalina's death. And well, let me just say that during that interview, it became quite clear that he was not naturally good at lying. While being questioned, his story would change from, "I never saw her that night." to, "Well, okay, maybe I saw her, but only for a couple minutes." It was quite clear that he did not know how to handle the pressure. And with more questions being asked, he became even more visibly shaken. And that, my friends, is when he finally broke down before bursting into

tears and muttering the words, "She was the love of my life." What came next was a gruesome confession and a confession that left Catalina's family absolutely disgusted at this man who they once considered a good friend. With Nester in custody and under questioning and plenty of evidence mounting against him, detectives created a rough timeline of the night in question, detectives concluded that Catalina had left the family home at around 9:00 p.m. before then sending a message to Netor to say that she was on her way. Nester responded twice before then deleting the entire conversation, which as we now know was an early attempt to cover his tracks. By the time she arrived at his home, Netor was waiting for her. The exact details of what transpired still unfortunately remains unclear. However, investigators believe that while the car was still stationary outside of his home, he revealed his true romantic feelings for

her. And when Catalina rejected him, well, that is when he snapped and the situation escalated into violence. While still seated in her mother's car, she was then subjected to a brutal attack from one of her best friends. The evidence available suggests that Nester strangled her before then inflicting multiple blunt force trauma injuries across her body. Despite the violence, there were no defensive wounds on Netor, which indicated that Catalina may have not had any chance to fight back. Tragically, after taking her life, he then moved Catalina's body to the back seat of the car and then drove away. At roughly 10:20 p.m., a traffic camera captured Elanora's silver Renault Cleo traveling along Valpareo Avenue, a main road between Nester's home and the location where the car and her remains would later be discovered. He then drove to 3900 Pedro Aar Street where he then parked the car and attempted to set it

on fire to destroy all evidence. However, this is where he would make one crucial oversight, and that was leaving Catalina's phone inside the vehicle. the phone, which would later be used to find her location. But then again, the scene was left in such a careless state that it likely wouldn't have taken long for her body to be found. In a calculated effort to appear innocent, Nester then called Catalina's mother only a few minutes after setting her daughter on fire. He called her mother a total of eight times, claiming that he hadn't seen Catalina and pretending to look out of his window for her. He would even join her boyfriend Lazaro in the search efforts the following morning and then would join the family at the police station. When Catalina's body was then found, Neestor comforted her family, hugged Elanora, and would even share in their grief, all while knowing that he was the actual cause. As we know, this

horrible, calculated behavior was a cold attempt to deflect any suspicion and maintain the facade that he was apparently a concerned friend. In hindsight, many of Nester's actions did actually appear suspicious. However, at the time, his deceitful efforts were enough to avoid any sort of immediate detection, and as we know, the full extent of his betrayal would only become apparent as the investigation progressed. To add to the evidence, police officers would later find her ring hidden inside his bedroom, a gruesome trophy to keep after murdering his best friend. With all of this evidence and Neestor's initial confession taken into account, he was then arrested and charged with aggravated homicide. And although his original confession was in fact submitted as evidence once legal proceedings began and he secured legal representation, he then refused to provide any further recorded statements

or confessions. So although he has yet to actually stand trial, I do think it is quite obvious how this will end, considering that his initial confession is more than enough to sink him. As of the time of publishing this video, Nester still remains in preventative detention just outside of Cordoba, where no surprise, he often receives death threats from many other inmates. Given his young age and skinny build, he is considered to be quite vulnerable to violence, coercion, and other things within the prison environment. and on that basis he is usually kept away from the other inmates. After further review by law enforcement, an additional charge of gender violence was added to his case. Combined with the charge of aggravated homicide by treachery, Nester now faces the possibility of a life sentence, which obviously is bad news for him and the rest of his time alive.

From here on out, digital forensics are expected to shed further light on the nature of his relationship with Catalina, which quite understandably could significantly influence the jury's decision. Understanding the dynamics of their relationship is quite crucial here, as it may help clarify Nester's motives and even determine whether the attack was premeditated. But according to the prosecutor's office, this case is considered straightforward. Unless new and unexpected evidence emerges, there is now no indication that this trial will face any delays. However, Neestor's psychological state is also a factor to be considered, which is quite interesting because so far he has refused to cooperate with his defense team regarding any psychiatric or psychological evaluation. Rushing to his defense, his mother has claimed that he was under severe stress when leading up to the crime. though quite honestly it

remains extremely difficult to feel any sympathy for him. Despite his silence on the matter, Nester has reportedly expressed severe remorse through his attorney. He has also offered an apology to Catalina's family, though he has yet to issue any formal statement about her murder. As you may expect, this case sent shock waves across Argentina. Both Catalina and Nester were young, intelligent, and full of potential. And with both of these lives being wasted, it really did surprise the nation. This story is a sobering reminder of the devastating consequences of not only unchecked emotions, but also hidden obsessions.

With this case still unresolved at the time of this video being posted, Catalina's family are still yet to find the closure they need, and they still mourn the loss of their daughter. Her body still remains in police custody, as it may be used as evidence in Nether's trial. Quite naturally, this is a horrible situation for Catalina's family to be in. who desperately wished to cremate her as soon as possible. Catalina's father, who is overwhelmed with grief, has since shared his anguish with reporters. He said, "I am in pain and I don't understand it. The only thing I want is justice and for him to rot in prison for the rest of his life because he does not deserve to live in this society." As the legal proceedings continue, Catalina's friends, family, and peers are all left to grieve without any closure. At the start of the new semester, her classmates honored her memory by placing a sign on an empty

chair which read, "Kata should be here." Meanwhile, and online, fans who were touched by Catalina paid tribute to her and described her as a poor angel. Collectively, they all call for justice through Neestor's trial, all while remembering her and the impact on her community. But for her family, this loss is deeply personal and immeasurable. They remember Catalina as a joyful, generous, and loving individual, a perfect student with a promising future. To them, she was the embodiment of happiness, kindness, and music. And her absence has left an unfillable void in their daily lives. As they navigate this heartbreaking journey, one can only hope that the future brings justice. To me, it is very clear that her tragic passing has touched many people across the country and my heart goes out not only to her family but her friends too.

Now, unfortunately, that is all the information I have at the time of this video being published. But as this case continues to progress through trial, I promise to update you either in the pinned comments or on social media. With that said, if you would like to stay updated, then please do consider subscribing to this channel or checking me out on social media, most notably my Instagram. Now, personally, I think it is extremely obvious that Nester will go down as guilty in this case, but what do you think will happen? As always, please share your thoughts in the comment section down below. So, Nero hasn't had much screen time recently, so um I thought I'd give you a bit of an update.

Um he's really enjoying Australia and uh yeah, he was getting quite skinny. Um weren't you? Yeah, you were getting quite skinny when you um when you flew over. So, he's gained over a kilo and a half now, and he's looking nice and chunky and healthy. And um yeah, don't tell him I said this, but he's quite scared of the Australian birds. Also, he has no idea how many people actually love him, which is crazy. So, our next case today was picked by Coffee House Crimes main editor, Callum, and is said to have affected him more than most.

When officers stepped inside a quiet and small backyard shed in Waller County, Texas, they were not prepared for what they would discover. And let's just say that what began as initial investigation would soon turn into a haunting nightmare. And tragically, all of this was actually captured on a body cam. Despite all of these details, it's actually what happened afterwards that made the story so dark and complex. You're definitely going to need another copy for this one, folks. So, on that note, this is the case of Angie Diaz. I got as far as a doorway. I didn't

Yeah, don't go in. Oh, this is a murder scene. uh decapitation. Uh it was a ugly ugly spot.

Trudging through fallen leaves, officers approached a family's cabin under suspected reports of a headless body. The moment they stepped through the door, officers were hit with a scene so brutal it left even the most seasoned among them stunned into silence. And it became evident to all personnel that whoever she was, this was no accident. The officers attending the property didn't know this yet, but they had just uncovered one of the most horrific crimes that Waller County had ever seen. And after making their way to the main building, well, they would discover several more disturbing details. And then it was up to them to piece together a story filled with rage, jealousy, and unfathomable behavior. Welcome, or welcome back to Coffee House Crime, folks. My name is Adrian, and today we're looking at a horrific story. one that is known as the case of Jared Dykus or Angie Diaz. And so with that said,

please do grab yourself a coffee and let's caffeinate while we investigate. Welcome back to Texas, land of white skies, bigger personalities, and the kind of history that's carved deep into American folklore. You might know it as cowboy country or the Lonear State. And let's be honest, when you hear the word Texas, you know exactly what kind of place we're talking about. Because Texas is not just a state. It's a story and a legend. One that is built on horseback and held together by grit and gunpowder. It was once home to a wild and unruly era. One where cowboys roamed free, where saloons stood as gathering grounds, and where outlaws like Jesse James, Billy the Kid, and Butch Cassidy became icons of lawlessness. They hijacked trains, rustled cattle, and disappeared into the dusty plains, leaving behind many tales which were soaked in gunfire and blood. Fast forward to modern times, and Texas still

hasn't quite shaken off its dark edge. With some of the highest homicide rates in the country, crime here does tend to cluster around its sprawling cities. And today we will be heading near one of them. Not Austin, the capital, but Houston, which is Texas most populated city. A place where steel towers and crime stats are as high as their temperatures. But our story today does not unfold downtown. No, it begins roughly 50 mi northwest of the city in a quiet corner of Waller County and in a neighborhood called Oak Hollow Boulevard. It's a place that people move to when they want to get away from that urban lifestyle. And I mean really away.

For example, there is only one store here and basically not much else. It's peaceful, serene, and tucked far away from the chaos of the city. Which is precisely why when a frantic 911 call came through on the morning of January the 11th, 2023, reporting a scene that would haunt even the most seasoned of officers, absolutely nobody was prepared for what they were about to find.

Wer County 911. Yes, ma'am. My name is Rodney Dakis. I need an ambulance and police call.

Okay. What's going on? I don't know everything, but my son's wife is dead. Please.

Oh, I told I had him in the hospital two days ago. He revealed voices. I told the doctor to get through the doctor said it was like

When deputies arrived at the 200th block of Oak Hollow Boulevard, they were met by Rodney Dykus and his wife, an olderlooking couple who at the time were deeply disturbed by what they had just discovered. They told the officers that earlier that day, their son Jared had returned home, but something seemed off about him. He was more quiet than usual and just generally off-kilter. And as he made his way to the back of the property, which is where he lived with his wife, Angie Diaz, he said something extraordinarily strange. Strange enough to make his parents deeply worried. Now, at first, they just tried to shake these comments off because maybe Jared was just having a bad day. But as the day dragged on, well, those feelings started to nag away in their stomach. And so Rodney, as curious as ever, decided to walk down to their cabin to make sure everything was all right. And it was there on that stretch of land that he

found something so horrifying that it would stay with him forever. And well, now you know what that 911 call was all about. When deputies arrived, they were met with a large rural plot of land with weathered fences, scraps of timber scattered about and a few dogs trottting freely around the yard. Found at the edge of the property stood a modest wooden structure which looked more like a hut or a cabin than a home. You can see it quite clearly here in the footage captured from one of the officers body cameras. And let's just say that what lay inside was worse than anyone could have imagined.

I got as far I got as far as the doorway. I didn't go. Yeah, don't go in. Oh, this is a murder scene. Decapitation.

Inside the cabin, the scene that greeted deputies was nothing short of horrifying. The small wooden structure, which was barely held together by makeshift construction, was a cluttered and chaotic living space. The walls were unfinished with exposed timber in some places and no insulation or drywall in sight. An old air conditioning unit jutted out from a sheet of chipboard. And in the corner sat a grubby mattress perched on a crude improvised bed frame. But it wasn't only the fact that the cabin was crudely built. Because on the inside it was an absolute mess, too.

Clothes littered the floor. Discarded food containers and rubbish were strewn everywhere. And piles of junk were stacked haphazardly alongside the walls. It was the kind of place that looked like it had never known comfort. only survival. But still, none of that compared to what really drew the officer's attention because what they found inside was a blood bath. Tiny droplets of blood spattered across the timber walls, suggesting a violent, frenzied attack. In addition to this, the floor was smeared with dark, sticky stains, and found across the boards, bloody footprints tracked through the room. Lying beside the bed and almost swallowed by the shadows of the cabin lay the body of a young woman. And tragically, she seemed to be missing her head. And of course, it wouldn't take long for officers to confirm what they had long feared. It was the body of 21-year-old Angie Diaz. Of course, the

next big question on their minds was who precisely were these two? While one was now quite obviously dead, the other was uncontrollably sobbing only a few steps away in his parents' home. Well, to better understand the violent murder of Angie Diaz and the horrific spiral beforehand, we must first go to the beginning of their story. And so, on that note, you better buckle up, folks, because this one, it is definitely an intense case. We begin our story in early of 2022 when Angie and Jared would first cross paths. The way they met was both casual and unremarkable, at least to begin with.

trying to make ends meet. Angie worked at the local grocery store named Cheap's Meat Market. At the time, Jared was a regular face there. And in a rural town like Oak Hollow, where there's only one store for miles and miles, running into a neighbors is kind of inevitable. Now, Angie was only 20 years old. But even in a town filled with hardworking folk, she stood out quite clearly. She was bright, charismatic, and full of feminine charm. the kind of person whose smile would stick with you after you've left the checkout line. Now, Angie has quite the interesting backstory, and that's because she had only recently arrived in the United States from Nicaragua. In the early days, she was staying with her aunt, who, by coincidence or fate, would happen to live on the very same street as the Dyker's family. Like many immigrants, Angie had come here with a purpose. She would often work two jobs

at the time, not out of ambition, but necessity. instead because her goal was to help send money back home to help pay for her mother's cancer treatment. Now, despite having two jobs, Angie would still find plenty of time for herself, which was especially pertinent in her fitness, a personal passion that she would often share through uplifting workout videos online. She encouraged other people to join her, tracked her journey, and kept a kind of digital diary that was brimming with motivation and positivity. And somewhere along the way, Jared noticed being roughly the same age as Angie, what roughly started as a small talk between a customer and a cashier would slowly grow into something more. The two began to date, and according to those close to them, their romance seemed to move pretty quickly, too. At least faster than anyone else expected. That is likely because Jared was absolutely enamored by her, and

friends and family would say that she seemed to bring sunshine into his life. She was bubbly and joyful, and he was drawn to her optimism, and in turn, she seemed to brighten whenever he was nearby. Their engagement was incredibly fast, though, and by October of that very same year, only several months after they met, the two got married. Their marriage was a simple courthouse wedding, and the vicer mentioned that there was nothing unusual about the couple. He thought that they were young, in love, and just eager to start their simple lives together. It was shortly after the wedding that Angie moved into the small wooden cabin which was found behind the Dykus family home. As you've already seen, it was a small structure nestled at the edge of the property on Oak Hollow Boulevard. It was humble and secluded and now it was home, too.

However, sadly, soon after the move, things began to change. Now, Angie may not have known this at the time, but behind closed doors, Jared had actually been wrestling with substance abuse issues. Both drugs and alcohol were already a large part of his lifestyle. And unfortunately, this would only get worse over time. In fact, only one month after their wedding in November of 2022, he was arrested for driving while intoxicated. And it wasn't just the DWI. According to police records, Jared's behavior while at the jail was volatile.

He apparently threatened officers, punched walls and windows, and became so unmanageable that he even had to be restrained in a safety chair. So, it's safe to say that his anger wasn't only loud, it was dangerous, too. And this is a very important thing to remember when moving forward. Although that particular incident did not involve Angie directly whatsoever, those around her noticed a shift shortly after. The once cheerful woman began to arrive late to work, and her bright energy seemed to be dulled for one reason or another. She would at times share vague, concerning comments about Jared to friends and co-workers, but would always stop short of the full details. Many of those who cared for her were left wondering how deep the trouble really ran. I mean, she was still smiling in public, but it did seem to be more forced and practiced. It was only 2 weeks before her death that Angie posted

a photo on Facebook of her and Jared standing in front of their Christmas tree together. You can see from this photo that they looked like any young couple, happily wishing friends and family a merry Christmas. Jared commented beneath it to say, "Merry Christmas, my beautiful wife." He would even refer to her as his trophy, which some would say is quite the red flag. To many of those scrolling through social media, the two of them looked like a happy couple who were madly in love. However, those who knew her in real life were not so sure anymore. Moving forward, Angie posted several more photos online, not only of her fitness, but also of her and Jared. He would often respond to her posts with heart emojis and affectionate comments, and was very visible online, almost performatively so, kind of like he was maybe trying to prove something to others. And as we know in private, something was not quite right.

In the weeks leading up to Christmas, Angie's manager, Ruth, started to noticed that her performance had started to slip. And unfortunately, that was an understatement. Ruth wasn't quite sure what was going on for her newest employee, and so she decided that the two needed to chat. It was in that moment that Angie finally broke her silence and she admitted to Ruth that things were sadly not going too well at home. Ruth was actually surprised with how much Angie had opened up. She would even confess that ever since getting married, Jared seemed like a totally different person. It wasn't just the enthusiasm or the kindness that had changed either because apparently Jared was becoming increasingly jealous and this deeply worried Angie. And apparently, as it turns out, the police were not strangers to the Dykus property either, and were more than aware of the growing tension between the two. In

fact, deputies had been called out more than several times to the property ever since their marriage. And all of these reports were tied to domestic violence. Now, despite being his victim, Angie deeply loved Jared. And although she was desperately trying to keep the marriage together, he just seemed to spiral further and further out of control. You see, Jared was not seeking help. He was seeking escape instead. And the more that he leaned into drugs and alcohol, the more it seemed to blur the lines between reality, paranoia, and rage. It was only a few days before Angie's death that Jared's mental health seemed to reach some sort of new breaking point.

It was at that stage that an overwhelming amount of anxiety seemed to grip him. So much so that he decided to dial 911. Now, in his own kind of weird and twisted way, this was Jared's desperate attempt for a cry for help. because let's be honest, he quite clearly needed it. However, with so much drama happening between the two, barely anybody took notice. But even still, nobody, and I do mean nobody, by the way, could have ever predicted with just how violently things were about to spiral.

County 911. Yes, this is this is Jared Dyus. Um Hello. Yes, go ahead. I'm just I I did a little bit of drugs and I need help.

Okay. Oh. Yes. Okay. And what's the problem? I just don't feel well. Okay. And you said you took drugs?

No, ma'am. I'm I'm I'm pretty sorry. I don't know why I called. Okay. And um are you there by yourself? Is there somebody with you?

Yeah, my my family's here with me. Oh, your family's with you. Okay. Okay. So, you don't Everybody's here.

Okay. But do you need an ambulance or No. Are you good? I need an ambulance. I got you. Okay. And how old are you?

I'm 21 years old. 21. Okay. Are there any gates or any animals on your property?

There's dogs. Okay. Can y'all put those up? Yes, ma'am. There are dogs. Okay, I got you. Okay, Jared, I'm going to have the ambulance on the way. Okay.

Okay. Thank you. You bet. Yes, sir. Bye-bye. So, Jared, was it only a little hit or no drugs at all? Because that's at least what he would claim later on. And it is quite hard to take someone that seriously when they're calling the emergency services erratically, not once, but twice. It turns out that the ambulance did not turn up fast enough for Jared's liking. And so he would make a second call to them and plead for help yet again.

Who are you calling? Well, 911. What's your emergency? Yes, this is Jared. Hi, Mr. Jared. How can I help you? Um, yes. I'm at Colorado Boulevard.

Yes, sir. We have EMS and route to you. Are you okay? Did something change? Yes, ma'am. No, I'm not okay.

Okay. What's going on? I I just I I I did some drugs yesterday and I don't feel well and I I didn't do any drugs. I don't I don't know. I'm sorry.

That That's okay. I have EMS and route to you. Okay. Thank you. Yes, sir. Bye-bye.

Byebye. The root cause of these emergency calls do seem to boil down to Jared's growing insecurity of his relationship with Angie. Jared felt threatened by her presence online and didn't appreciate her posts, interactions, or the attention that she was receiving. And considering Angie worked in a customer-f facing role where she was expected to be friendly and approachable to everyone regardless of their gender, that friction between her and Jared wasn't occasional. It was constant. As a result of these things, Jared's mood would swing quite violently. He'd become spiteful short-tempered and increasingly aggressive. It was a clear pattern that seemed to be building momentum over time. And unfortunately, as a result, the cracks in their relationship were widening by the day.

And these two phone calls would come only a couple of weeks before another far more chilling one. Because, as we already know, it would then be Jared's own father, Rodney, who would make the horrific emergency call when it was all too late. With the property now sealed off for investigators to look at the crime scene, they began to comb through every single detail available. Unfortunately, it was more than evident that she was already dead on arrival. And now all they could do was turn their attention to the cabin and all evidence left behind. And after taking a closer look, they realized just how brutal this story had become.

All right. So, where's the body? So, in there. Yeah. If you'd step up on the third ladder or third step, you can sneak your head and see.

I didn't get any further than that. up here. Yeah. As we know, the inside of the small cabin was drenched in blood with stains found on the floors, walls, and furniture. In fact, from the sheer volume of blood alone, detectives immediately ruled out the idea of this being an accident or even a calculated murder. The violence and clumsiness told them that it was something else entirely. It was rage. When she was found, Angie's body was beside the bed, covered in multiple stab wounds. And she had been attacked in what they could only describe as a blind and uncontrollable frenzy. And nearby on the cabin floor, officers would find a bloodied kitchen knife, which had been discarded carelessly, and was soon determined to be the murder weapon.

However, there was one crucial thing missing to all of this, and I don't quite know how to put this lightly, but tragically, it was Angie's head, which of course leads me to one other horrific question. Where was it? Now, thankfully, that answer would come soon enough. When officers decided to look through the rest of the cabin, they slowly made their way into the cramped bathroom. And there, at the basin of the shower, they found it. This was a discovery that would stop even the most seasoned of officers in their tracks because quite clearly none of them were prepared to find a human head. In fact, apparently most of them needed counseling after this. I mean, put quite bluntly, the entire crime scene was horrific, and it would tell a horrible story filled with violence, rage, chaos, and absolute terror. So, I'm not surprised.

Blake said her head is somewhere else in the tub. Okay. Okay. Got to wait for the C ID to get here.

Okay. Ah, stay stay right here real. Nobody goes in there. Hello, ma'am. I'm Deputy Lewis.

I think I've talked to you at the door here a while back about maybe some dogs or something. No, your son's truck. Could I get your name, please, ma'am?

Lynn. Terry Lynn. He told me it happened this morning. I told you Jared. Okay. and he has been acting really strange lately. He called an ambulance on himself the other night and um said he was on drugs, but I don't believe that he was. I think something's wrong.

Okay, Mr. Dus, Randy Lewis, you remember me? I know you. Okay. I just need to get a little just uh I'm basically just identifying folks here.

Yes, sir. Uh could I get your you got your ID handy? here. If you don't, you can just tell me first full full name.

Sorry. I don't want fingerprints on her. Yeah. Anyways, uh that's all you know about her.

Yeah. I just know she worked over there. I know she was not here. Where'd she work?

Does she Does she still work at Chepies? Yeah. Yeah. I know she's not really a legal citizen, you know. I don't I'm just saying. No, I don't care either. I mean, she's family, man.

Okay. Okay. Thank you. Yes, sir. Yeah. Uh they said that the deceased lady and old boy that's in the backseat of Dion's car got married last September.

Mhm. And all they know is her name is Angie. A n g y. But she works at Chippies or worked at Chippies.

So if she doesn't have any I'm thinking, you know, we ain't gone in there. Hopefully she's got some there's some ID in there, but they could ID her if if there's nothing in there.

Jared, Randy Lewis, you remember me? Yes, sir. You okay? Yes, sir. Jared, would you mind giving me the passcode to your phone? Supposed to be a six-digit code. any more to it. And that'll open it up. It's not set or nothing like that. Just Okay. Thank you. After carrying out one of the most gruesome acts imaginable, Jared did not run or hide. Instead, he walked a few yards to his parents' home, collapsed on the floor, and cried. It was here that Waller County deputies officially placed Jared under arrest, obviously under suspicion of murdering his wife, Angie.

He was then taken into custody alongside his family, where all of them were then transported to the station for questioning. And as detectives began the grim task of piecing together what precisely happened inside that cabin, they would discover new details which only seemed to deepen the horror. Determining the timeline in this case would become absolutely crucial. They eventually calculated that Angie must have been killed the day before Rodney made that harrowing discovery, which of course begged the question, what did Jared do in the hours that followed?

And I don't know if I told y'all, but uh mama, when I was just visiting with mama, she said, uh, Jared told me this happened this morning.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Well, if he's been in the house since 12:30, then he probably they said he got home at like 4:00 a.m. So from 4:00 a.m. to 12:30 is our window of when this happened.

Well, in a community as small as Oko, it doesn't take long for word or suspicion to spread around. People notice things and people talk. And it didn't take long for investigators to hear from staff at Cheap's Meat Market, which was the very store where Angie had worked, that they had actually seen Jared the following morning at around 11:40 a.m., which would have been hours after her murder. So, you may be wondering what precisely was he doing here? Was he maybe trying to like give himself an alibi or maybe buy some cleaning supplies? Well, the answer was actually neither.

Surveillance footage paints a very different picture. one that's disturbingly casual. Jared, dressed in a t-shirt and jeans is seen strolling into the store, walking up to the fridge, and then pulling out a beer. He then walks right out of the shop without paying. Outside, another camera catches him standing by his car. He then cracks open the can, takes a long drink, and then casually gets back into his vehicle, and drives off. There is no panic or urgency seen here, just a man drinking a beer in the morning sun. Of course, after, you know, committing one of the most gruesome murders that this town has ever seen.

After being arrested, he confessed almost immediately. There was no lengthy interrogation, no drawn out denials, and no hesitation to admitting that he had murdered his wife. Of course, this left very little doubt in the minds of the investigators. But to be honest with you, it wasn't exactly a mystery anyway, was it? Even without his confession, all the evidence available was confined and found in that tiny little cabin. Everything seemed to fit together like one of those easy 10piece puzzles for children. And Jared never tried to cover up his crime, run from the law, or deny his guilt. Now, obviously during the investigation, detectives were hard at work trying to find a motive, but officially we aren't actually sure what that was. There are some people that believe that apparently Angie rejected his sexual advances that evening, which sent Jared into an uncontrollable rage.

But on the other side of the coin, there were people that were actually supporting Jared and said that he was never the violent type. But in a story like this, we must follow the facts. And the facts tell a very clear story. And it's opinions like those that do make you wonder, do any of us really know our neighbors? What we do know is that before Angie's death, officers had already attended the property on numerous occasions, and all of these were centered around domestic violence. And so whether Jared was under the influence of drugs or alcohol or not, it doesn't actually matter. The truth is he had a violent side. Moving to the legal proceedings of this case, Jared's bond was initially set at $500,000, which is a hefty sum by any standard.

But considering the brutality of the crime and his violent history, it wasn't long for prosecutors to push for more. An attorney stepped in, arguing that half a million dollars simply was not enough. Not for a man who had literally decapitated his wife in a fit of rage. And so, given the sheer brutality of the crime scene, it was officially raised to $1 million. Naturally, this all led prosecutors to question Jared's mental state. For example, was this the direct result of a mental breakdown or psychotic snap? Or did his true colors just finally come out after a court-ordered psychiatric evaluation?

Psychologists would unanimously rule that Jared was of sound mind. It is clear through his remorse and reactions that he understood what he had done. He fully understood what was coming next. And so, it was for that reason alone that he was declared fit to stand trial. Tonight, a 21-year-old man has admitted to authorities that he decapitated his wife.

The disturbing murder happening yesterday near Magnolia. The woman's body was found inside a home on Oak Hollow Boulevard. Fox 26's Matthew Sedorf is in Waller County tonight where the community is mourning. Matt,

there's a growing memorial tonight outside of Chepes where this victim worked. Tonight, you can see the flowers, the teddy bears, the candles. This woman loved in this community. By now, the word of Angie's murder had spread well beyond Waller County. And this quiet rural community that once prided itself on peace and privacy was now the center of a gruesome national headline. The local community and people further afar were all shocked, horrified, and paying close attention to every legal update. And that wasn't only your every day-to-day citizen, either.

For example, even the judge who had officiated their marriage only 4 months earlier was in utter disbelief. But while the prosecution was busy building their case, something rather unexpected happened. And that is in a moment of surprise, Jared officially accepted a plea deal. He had chosen not to hire a defense attorney, instead opting to represent himself. And through that plea agreement, he decided to wave everything, including his right to appeal the verdict, his sentence, and even any potential defense that might have been raised on his behalf.

In response, Angie's family would give their blessing for the deal to proceed. And so, without a lawyer, without a defense, and without a single appeal in his back pocket, he officially made his plea of guilty to the murder of his wife. On July the 31st, 2024, the judge delivered the final sentence. Jared was sentenced to 40 years behind bars and furthermore would not be eligible for parole until the year 2043. That means that if he serves his full term, he won't be walking free until he's 63 years old. Now, they say that you only live once. And well, for his crimes, he'll be spending most of it thinking about the irreversible pain he has caused, both to Angie and to everyone who loved her. Now, of course, with tragedies like this, we are left with not only heartbreak, but many questions.

Questions like, how did it get this far? And what could have been done to stop it? And in this case, the spotlight turned towards a deeply rooted issue, not only in the United States alone, but the rest of the world. And of course, I'm talking about domestic violence. In the aftermath of Angie's death, her family were faced with the unfortunate reality of not being able to afford her funeral. Of course, money was already tight to begin with. That was the entire reason Angie was in the US. You know, it's very sad to realize that Angie had been working two jobs to try to pay for her mother's cancer treatment. And now, in some sick twist of fate, all of that hard work had been undone to pay for her own funeral costs.

In response, a GoFundMe campaign was launched by the public, which would in turn raise over $20,000 by friends, family, and strangers all moved by her story. The fundraiser described her as the light to her family and community. A small phrase, but one that perfectly captures exactly who she was. A candlelight vigil was held soon after at a park near her home. People arrived with flowers and handwritten messages, and all lit candles in her memory. Those who knew Angie would say that words could never truly capture the kind of person that she was. She was said to be a very bright young girl who had many goals in life. And a neighbor recalls that no matter what time he walked into the market and no matter how he were feeling on the day, her smile would seem to just light up the room. It is clear that Angie's death not only broke hearts but left a lasting scar on an entire community. And if there is any small

comfort to take from this tragedy, it is that the man responsible for her death did not get away with it. Jared now faces the full weight of the law. And whether it was guilt, remorse, or simply resignation, he chose not to fight it. He claimed a beautiful life from this world. And in return, he gave up the best years of his own. Now maybe that's not enough, and maybe it never will be. But for those who loved Angie, there is some peace in knowing that he will never have the chance to hurt anyone else for a very long time.

This story has left so much pain behind wherever you look. In fact, just listening to Jared's own father on that 911 call is tragic enough. The man was absolutely broken. The twisted thing is, I don't think Jared even fully understands why he murdered his wife. I mean, his response both before and after the fact remains an enigma. So, will we ever fully understand why all of this happened? I'm not so sure anymore. Anyway, I think that pretty much covers all of my thoughts and opinions. But before I go, I'd love to know what you think about this one. To begin with, what do you think about Jared's sentence? Because at the end of the day, he only received 40 years. Do you think this was enough or should he have received life? And how about the motive?

because to me this sounds like a horrible mix of alcohol, jealousy, rage, and unchecked emotions. And of course, a man who was unable to control any of it. But that's just my take. Anyway, what do you think? As always, let me know in the comments down below. Now, this next video is the one that I personally found most terrifying this year. Not only because Alexandra was abducted under horrible circumstances, but also because when she actually managed to call the authorities in the middle of all of this, she could quite literally tell that they didn't care. All of this would happen in a small town in Romania. And when news broke out, it actually disgusted the nation so badly that it sparked nationwide protests. If you haven't heard of this story yet, it's going to be one that will definitely stick with you for a very long time. And so, on that note, this is the case of Alexandra Machanu.

In the quiet town of Caracal, Romania, Alexandra Machanu vanished without a trace. One day later, her desperate calls to the emergency services prompted a dire situation, one in which she desperately needed rescuing. Despite her bravery, both the operator and the authorities failed her, leading to the worst possible outcome. And with that said, their grievous mistakes would cause mass outrage, which led to multiple sackings and dozens of protests. When detectives eventually traced her last known location, what they found was a monster lurking in the shadows, one who seemed willing to expose several terrible secrets and reveal more than just one victim. So, who was Alexandra Machanu? How did Louisa Mealenu become part of her story?

Who is this mysterious man visible on Google Maps? And how did all of their fates intertwine? Welcome, or welcome back to Coffee House Crime, folks. My name is Adrian, and in this video, we're looking at one of Romania's most infamous modern-day cases. Now, we don't usually get to visit Eastern Europe on this channel, and so today, we're looking at a very peculiar story. And now with that said, please grab yourself a coffee and let's investigate. This is the case of Gorg Dinka.

Welcome to Romania, folks. Now, I don't think we've covered this country before, so here is a quick rundown for you. Formerly part of the Iron Curtain, Romania has long struggled with its position between the Communist East and the Democratic West. With 19 million residents, it's one of Europe's largest nations, which at least when compared to other European countries, is also remarkably quiet in the news. And interesting fact, but did you know that Romania is home to one of Europe's largest underground glaciers? Today, we're focusing on a small city named Caracal, which is located near the country's southern border. Derived from the name Black Fortress, Caracal was the regional capital for quite some time with its population peaking at 40,000 in the year 1992. It has since dropped to 27,000 through industrial hardship. The Romanian revolution of 1989 saw revolutionists violently overthrow the

country's communist party, which would eventually lead to Romania's cohesion with the West. And while almost all Romanians see this as a massive win for the country, it did unfortunately see Carakal's predominantly agricultural industry collapse. Nowadays, it's a sleepy city with a whole bunch of nothing going on. I mean, you do have several supermarkets and three or four industrial zones. Oh, and a military base nearby. But otherwise, life here is pretty quiet with nothing but small murmurings being the main talk of the town. However, on July the 25th, 2019, all of that would suddenly change.

It was at 11:05 that morning that a young woman named Alexandra Machanu dialed 112, which by the way is the phone number for Romania's emergency services. What you hear behind my voice is the actual recording, but with this being Romanian, it's better that I translate it for you. Alexandra greeted the operator by saying, "Hello, I want to talk to the police. I am 15 years old. I was kidnapped by a man yesterday." The operator asks, "What's your name?" Where the young girl then responds, "Alexandra Machanu. Please come quickly. I don't know where I am."

Rather confused, the operator then asks, "What do you mean you don't know where you are? Do you know what locality?" To which Alexandra responds, "In Caracal." He took me in Caracal, but I don't know exactly where. In an ironic tone, the responder then replies with, "Well, give me a milestone where you are in Caracal. How do you think we can find you?" "Hello, were you sexually assaulted?" Alexandra then weakly replies, "Yes, wait. Please don't leave me." "Oh no, he's coming back. He's coming back here. Please come quickly. Please." The call is then abruptly disconnected and for half a minute the operator who has asked for support from her team member is frozen with what to do. They had no idea how to track Alexandra who could only confirm the city that she was in but not the house street or even suburb.

Thankfully she would then call back only one minute later and this time they would learn of a few more details. After greeting the caller, Alexandra then responds to the operator by saying, "It's me again. I don't know where I am in Caracal. I was blindfolded." And when I could see something for the first time, I was near a dam. It is at this point that she then incorrectly tells the operator that her abductor is a man named Pescu Gabrielle. It is worth noting here that although she was smart enough to find his business card in the room that she was in, it did not actually belong to the kidnapper.

Alexandra then goes on to say, "I cannot see where I am. I am locked in a room. All I can see is a gate. Yesterday, I hitchhiked to go to town. That is when he took me in his car." He then locked the car and told me that he could take me. I don't remember the license plate, but the car was gray and flated. I passed a dam along the way, but now I don't know. I think I'm in bold, maybe. I don't know. The operator then asks, "Do you have your phone with you?" To which Alexandra responds, "Yes, but he's got it. I'm calling from his phone now.

Please send someone. I am scared." The police would then proceed to take over the phone call at 11:07 a.m. Again, asking Alexandra where precisely she was. Desperately looking around the room for a clue, she then said, "I passed by the dam and I think I'm in bold now. It can't be anywhere else. Hold on. I found an address. It's number 9 Antonius Caracalama Boulevard, DA. Now, unfortunately, this address was not the correct one. When officers highlighted to Alexandra that this address contained a block of flats, she reiterated that she was somewhere more rural and could see a courtyard and a gate. By now, the operator and the officer sounded agitated and even condescending towards Alexandra. And so despite her incredible efforts to locate a phone, call the police twice, and then even find clues and details to her whereabouts, her saviors seemed audibly annoyed. The officer then tells her to stay put, and

that police are coming. But she responded by saying she had no choice anyway because she was locked in the room. She als added that she was extremely scared and that she had been beaten. By now, you could tell that Alexandra was desperately begging for help. But between her cries, the officer, who was quite audibly impatient, told her to hang up the phone and wait to be contacted. Terrible attitude aside, I feel like this advice is the total opposite to what you should say. I mean, I'm pretty sure in any other country, the operator would ask you to stay on the line and not hang up and wait alone. Now, unfortunately, these phone calls will get even worse and will be sure to leave your blood boiling. However, before we get to those phone calls, who precisely was Alexandra Machanu, and how did she end up in this mess?

Born on September the 15th, 2003 to her father and her mother, Alexandra was raised on the outskirts of Caracal in a small village named Dobros Leveni. Described as a friendly and popular girl at school, she had absolutely no trouble in fitting in with her classmates. And after attending primary school, she moved on to become a student at the Mihi Bitaju Theoretical High School. Described as a bright and kind-hearted student, she was very close to her family and had big aspirations for the future. But moving into our case today, she was only 15 years old when this story takes place. Being from the small village of Dobros Leveni, where the population barely scrapes past 3,000 residents, she would often make her way into the city to meet friends and go shopping. However, with public transport being unreliable, if not existent at all, she would often rely on other forms of transportation. And unfortunately,

I'm talking about hitchhiking here. Now, hitchhiking is a very debatable and controversial topic for a very good reason. Although some people argue that statistically speaking the odds of running into trouble are minuscule, there are inherent risks which could lead to a catastrophic outcome. Unpredictable drivers, potential for violence or assault, being stranded, and the risk of exploitation are all things that you need to look out for, especially if you're young, small, or female. I mean, if you're 7 foot, male, and 40 years old, and you like to wrestle, then you can probably defend yourself. However, quite understandably, it is much less advisable if you're a 15year-old girl. But it is worth noting here that hitchhiking is much more common in Romania than other countries like America or the United Kingdom. In fact, it is even illegal in parts of Australia, including the state of Victoria. Anyway, on July the 24th,

2019, and while visiting friends in the city, Alexandra tried to hitch a ride back home to the village of Dos Levveni. And unfortunately, that is when she would meet a driver who had ulterior motives. Parking his vehicle beside her, the man then asked where she was going. And after explaining that she needed a lift to go back to Dob Ross Levveni, which was only a few miles down the road, the older man agreed to help her out. Alexandra thanked the driver, hopped in the car, and then put on a seat belt. But after the vehicle was then put in motion, the driver manually locked all the doors and then told her to remain calm. Within minutes, he stopped the vehicle where Alexandra was then forced to place a blindfold over her head. Of course, this preventing her from knowing where precisely they were going. Her abductor then took her to his home where she was then tragically assaulted several times throughout the

evening. Alexandra's parents were fairly quick to realize that something was wrong, especially after she stopped responding to text messages and phone calls. And so, when that happened, they went down to the local police department and reported her as missing. But it wouldn't be until the following day that Alexandra herself was able to make contact with the police. And this was after her abductor had foolishly left his phone with her while leaving the property. So, I've already described to you the two initial phone calls made by Alexandra to the police. However, there would be a third and final call made only several minutes later. And guess what? But their response was even more infuriating.

Love it. After the phone call was terminated, Alexandra then called emergency services yet again. The operator picked up the phone to say, "Hello, what's the emergency?" Alexandra then asked if they had sent anyone yet. To which the operator then reconnected the police officer. She then asked them, "Please, did you send anyone here? I am terrified. I am scared of the man. He beat me." The officer then responded with, "We did. They cannot fly over to you in 2 minutes, young lady. Stay there. Yes. Who are you scared of? Who is he? Alexandra replied, I think his name is Pescu Lucian Gabriel. I don't know. I found this business card. I thought maybe it's his card, but I don't know if it's him. The officer replied, "Ah, so you don't know that either."

Okay, stay there. A squad will arrive in 2 to 3 minutes. Hold on. While crying, Alexandra once again begged and pleaded for the officers to stay on the phone with her. But that is when he said, "Miss, I cannot stay on the phone with you. We have other calls too. Stay there for a police crew to arrive and calm down a little bit. Will you clear the phone line? If we are stuck on the phone, then the crew will not be able to talk to you." And that is when the phone line was suddenly cut. Somebody.

When officers arrived at the address given by Alexandro via that business card, they did realize that unfortunately it was the wrong address and the wrong name. With that in mind, officers had no idea where she was. And with them forcing her to end the phone call, well, they had no way of communicating with her either. No surprise, but the police finally realized how royally they had screwed up. And so they immediately tasked all personnel to try and locate Alexandra. In situations like this, every single second counts and every minute that passes by feels like an hour. And tragically, they would take 15 hours to trace her calls. The police asked the special telecommunication service to help locate the phone calls. But unfortunately, the coordinates given by the STS covered an area too large to analyze. However, police officers were able to find a car in that area, which did seem to match the description given

by Alexandra, which was further cooperated by finding this surveillance footage. With that said, they would eventually track the vehicle to a property which belonged to a man named Gorg Dinka, who at the time was a 65-year-old mechanic living in the area. And unfortunately, his other job seemed to fit the story, too. You see, on the sideline, Gorg was a taxi driver of sorts. And I say of sorts because actually he was illegally operating as one without a license. So with that in mind, he may have been able to make Alexandra feel safer by claiming that he was one. Found on the western edge of Caracal, Giorg's home was a monster of a property filled with dense bushes and walls that protected the house and its additional three floors. Not only that, but it also had a metal gate that matched the description which was given by Alexandra. Funnily enough, they wouldn't have to look very hard to get a

profile of Kyorg either because by simple dark coincidence, Google Maps had even captured several images of the man standing outside of his property only a few weeks prior. However, here is yet another infuriating fact. Despite learning of her location at 2:00 a.m. on July the 26th, police officers and prosecutors decided to wait an additional 4 hours before executing any sort of police raid with an active search warrant. And by the way, this is despite the law not even requiring them to have one. Now, I do understand that this could perhaps build a more robust case against him in court, but I would argue that Alexandra's life was far more critical at this stage. Anyway, officers finally raided Gorgi's home at sunrise, to which they found themselves entangled in a horrific scene, one that would evidently end up being far more gruesome than they had bargained for. On the other end of the stick, Gorg was shocked

to find dozens of officers barging through his front gate. The move clearly surprised him. So much so that it wouldn't take long for Gorg to reveal his darkest and most depraved secrets, to which some of them would take many investigators by surprise. Tragically, police officers were too late to save Alexandra. By the time they raided his property, she had already been dead for several hours. Gorg admitted to murdering the young woman after kidnapping, beating, and assaulting her before then trying to dispose of her body by burning it.

After conducting a thorough search of the property and all the grounds nearby, they found human remains and jewelry in a barrel to which sadly it all belonged to Alexandra. However, that wouldn't be all that police officers would find. It turns out that this was not Gorg's first rodeo because after admitting that he had murdered Alexandre, he then diverted investigators attention to another missing person's case, which sadly had only taken place 3 months prior in April. It was at this time that an 18-year-old woman named Louisa Meenu had vanished from her hometown of Caracal, never to be seen again. And well, it turns out that he was also responsible for her disappearance, meaning that at the very least, Alexandra was the second woman to be murdered on his property. As you can imagine, the public's response here was strong, emotional, and intense.

Many Romanians were outraged for several reasons, which would lead to a protest of more than 2,500 people in Bucharest. Not only were they devastated by Alexandra's and Louisa's deaths, but they were angry at how the authorities dealt with both of their disappearances. The sluggish response time was already frustrating enough. But what angered the public even more was how the officer and the operator would sound sarcastic and even annoyed during the phone call with Alexandra, who clearly was terrified for her life. While these protests were going on, Alexandra and Louisa's friends and family both held vigils for their daughters. Both who were now faced with the immeasurable pain of grief and loss.

However, as I will explain later on in this video, not everyone was on board with their deaths. Meanwhile, in the interrogation room, Gorg told the investigators that he burned Alexandra's body to dispose of the evidence while simultaneously confessing that he threw Louisa's body into the Danube River found nearby. However, he would later change his statements to claim that he also burned Louisa's body. He then agreed to take the investigators to a forest where they found several cremated bone fragments in an area where he claimed to have disposed her remains.

But forensic experts could not establish an exact DNA profile from these fragments as unfortunately the bones found in the woods were too calcinated. A state in which all the organic carbon has burned away from the bone leaving it pure white and sometimes unidentifiable. Sadly, DNA tests soon confirmed that the bones found at Gorg's home did in fact belong to 15-year-old Alexandra Machosanu. And so with all said and done, they knew that she had been murdered. Moving to the legal proceedings of this case, Gorgi's trial would begin in August of 2022. Now, in the Romanian system, there are no juries, and so both civil and criminal trials have what we know as a bench trial, where a single judge will render the verdict. In addition to this, they also have what they call a finalizing process, where the tribunal can take up to one year to determine if the verdict and sentence is fair. Now, as we know, this man was up

against a slew of charges, including human trafficking, child trafficking, sexual assault, murder, and desecration of a corpse. And so, as expected, this man would give a lot of resistance in court. Although he initially confessed to the murder of both women, he would later change his mind in court and even deny that he had anything to do with their deaths. However, his involvement was almost irrefutable at this stage in the investigation. In addition to the phone call, evidence, and confession, surveillance footage also captured his vehicle close to the area where Alexandra hitched a ride, which was also confirmed by additional surveillance footage of her walking nearby. It was determined that the first of his crimes began on April the 14th, 2019, when at that stage, he kidnapped Louisa Meenu before then taking her to his home.

While there, she was subjected to multiple counts of assault before then tragically being murdered the next day. Alexandra suffered the same fate only a few months later in July. Evidence found suggests she had been chained to the man's bed before then being murdered. Both women would have experienced a horrific reality for the last several hours of their lives before the cruel monster then attempted to burn their existence away forever. To make this case even more disturbing, it turns out that Gorg could not keep his sick and twisted fantasy a secret. While Alexandra was under his captivity, he would then go on to tell one of his friends named Stefan Reipatanu, who then also assaulted her. And despite Gorg being a total pig of a man, he somehow actually had a wife, and she too would also be arrested for potentially carrying knowledge of Louisa's disappearance and then subsequent murder. To add to all of this, Gorg's

trial would be wrapped not only in controversy, but also wild claims. Despite the evidence and his confession, the families of Alexandra and Louisa do not believe that Gorg murdered their daughters by himself. And that's because they believe that he lied to police officers in order to cover up a human trafficking network, which in fairness is known to be a widespread issue in Romania. So, did Gorg act alone or did he have other accompllices? They also believe that the prosecutors who worked on Alexandra's disappearance intentionally delayed the raid on his property in order to give him time to hide evidence. Not only that, but it was also noted that while working on Louis's disappearance only 3 months prior, the prosecutors who obtained surveillance footage of Gorg's car and license plate failed to question him or even conduct a search on his property. Now, at least personally speaking, I think there are

only two options here. There is either gross incompetence in the police force or they are actually trying to hide something. Gorg's neighbors would also provide conflicting testimonies about smelling anything odd coming from the property, and none of them saw any fire or smoke coming from the garden. As you can imagine, the incineration of a human body would provide some rather nasty smells. So, did the wind affect their testimonies, or was there no fire at all? Obviously, the main theory here is that Gorg was merely a scapegoat or a porn to a wider criminal organization and perhaps even in cahoots with the government. It is also noted here that Daikot, which is Romania's homicide agency, made multiple mistakes with the evidence available. And that's because although Alexandra's DNA was confirmed to be identified in some of the dental pieces inside the burn barrel, some of those results were deemed to be

inconclusive. And that's because some of the teeth found in the barrel did seem to exhibit dental work that Alexandra did not have. However, the forensic specialists failed to note this. And furthermore, they examined the teeth as a whole using a destructive method that would render individual analysis of each tooth to be impossible afterwards. Despite the uncertainties of these results, Daikart would issue a death certificate for Alexandra, to which her family refused to recognize. Rumors and controversy aside, the judge who was working on this case was absolutely furious. And of course, he had to act on the evidence available. So, it's no surprise that Gorg Dinka was ultimately found guilty of all charges and was therefore sentenced to 30 years behind bars. Now, according to Romanian law, a 30-year sentence is the maximum that a person over 65 years of age can receive, which is good enough in this case

because considering his age, he will never walk a day free again. In addition to his sentence, the court also ruled that he must pay moral damages of €700,000, which is the equivalent of $722,000, to the two victims families. Although his sentence was not yet final and could theoretically be appealed, the court of appeal would ultimately rule that 30 years was not only valid and justifiable but also final. In addition to this, his accomplice Stefan Reepanu was also sentenced to 12 years in prison. It should have been more in my opinion, but with other inmates knowing why he's there, I am sure his time behind bars will be total carnage. And so we conclude the fate of Gorg Dinka. Not that he matters anyway. His despicable behavior and actions, which were fueled by disgusting lust and assault, would ultimately end the lives of two young women who were forced to experience pure horror in their final hours. Alexandra

Machanu and Louisa Malenu were bright young souls whose lives were lost far too soon. Their dreams, laughter, and love for their families were tragically cut short, leaving behind a nation in mourning. Alexandra's bravery in the face of unimaginable fear stands out very prominently in this case to me. She was abducted, beaten, assaulted, and then kept caged in a room. But despite all of the pain that she experienced, she managed to find a phone, call the emergency services, find clues hidden around the room, and ultimately help solve her murder. It is a terrible shame that the operator and officer were not more helpful during these phone calls.

And the least they could have done was provide support and comfort to Alexandra in her final conversation with a human. And I'm not counting Yorg here because that man is an absolute monster. May the memories of Alexandra and Louisa serve as a reminder that no one should suffer as they did. And this is precisely why Romania continues to fight for better laws and rights to protect not only its women but its younger generations, too. Sadly, Louisa's grandmother does not accept the tragedy. And to this day, she believes that her granddaughter will eventually return home. As a measure of good faith, she continues to look after her pet dog and anticipates giving him back on her arrival. In the aftermath of this case, Gorgi's home has since been abandoned with overgrown weeds covering every fertile corner of the garden.

This case would also highlight the serious problem of public transportation or the lack of it in the Romanian countryside and how essential hitchhiking can be to get around. Again, hitchhiking is much less frowned upon in Romania. And this is in stark contrast to some countries which have even made it illegal. For the record, Lucian Pepescu, who was the man identified in that business card, was completely innocent and not related to this case. It turns out that he met Gorg once when he was a retail estate agent and never even knew the man. By the way, after this case, several officers, including Romania's National Police Chief, were all sacked as a result. Unfortunately, I couldn't confirm if the operator was fired or not, but I certainly hope so.

Another side note, but this is yet another case where I've witnessed strange remnants of the story being hidden behind Google Maps. I have to say there is something deeply odd seeing Gorg on screen, ominously staring at the camera a mere few weeks before Alexandra was murdered. To make matters worse, this was after he had killed Louisa. And by the way, you may see that Google Maps identified the image to be taken in 2012, but this is inaccurate and I think they've messed around with the data. Previous news reports captured citations of the image being snapped in May of 2019 and also street view images taken in 2012 were not up to this level of fidelity. I find those street view images to be deeply unsettling. It's kind of like he's there forever. But yeah, I guess that pretty much wraps up this case today, folks. Before I go though, I'd love to know what you think about this one. And I have several

questions for you. To begin with, do you think that Gorg acted alone or do you think there was a wider criminal organization behind him? And well, yeah, some do believe that the government was involved. So, do you believe that too? As always, please share your thoughts in the comments section down below. I do genuinely like to read them. Alexandra's story is one of absolute terror, and we can only imagine what she was thinking in her final hours. Very different to our next story, where the killer's victims had not even a moment to react.

So, this case was selected by Coffee House Crimes other researcher and editor, Chloe, who found this case both terrifying and intriguing. I mean, let's be honest here. It is quite rare for a killer to leave so much embarrassing footage of himself for the whole world to gawk at. And so on that note, this is our fifth and final case today. That being the case of Scott Bailey.

I'd like to send a message now to the adolescent males to unbburden himself of this stigma that that society's put on him. This this virginity burden.

This is Scott Beerley. On paper, he was a teacher and former soldier. But in reality, he had the dating skills of an old sponge and the social grace of a parking ticket. But instead of reflecting on his shortcomings and improving himself, Scott chose the lonely path of bitterness, anger, and delusion. And along the way produced some of the worst music that humanity has ever endured.

I like to walk around hanging out. I like to serve this sauerkraut. As time marched on, his behavior only grew more outrageous. He was fired from job after job, banned from multiple campuses, and somehow managed to make a nuisance of himself in almost every corner of his life. And yet, despite leaving a trail of warning signs and basically having walking red flag practically stamped across his forehead, Scott somehow managed to slip through all of the cracks. In short, consequences always seemed to skirt around him. Meanwhile, his videos and music grew darker, more violent, and somehow even more unbearable. His obsession with resentment seemed to metastasize into something far uglier than just bad lyrics or tonedeaf guitar riffs. I mean, even the federal authorities were tipped off about him. But even still, his case was dismissed until tragically it was too late.

As a result, multiple lives were lost at the hands of Scott Bealey, a man who is dangerous, delusional, and just as insufferable. And today, we're diving head first into his disturbing world. Welcome, or welcome back to Coffee House Crime, folks. My name is Adrian, and I'm here to share the world's darkest and wildest stories with you and provide anything we can learn along the way. So, who was Scott Bealey? What did all of these red flags look like? And how did this story change from concern to outright tragedy? Well, one thing's for sure, this story will leave you outraged, especially when it comes to his music. And so, on that note, please get comfortable, grab a coffee if you haven't yet, and let's caffeinate while we investigate. This is the case of Scott Bi.

November the 2nd, 2018 began like any other day in Tallahassee, Florida. Now, Tallahassee is a curious place that is filled with quirks and courage. Not only is it the state's capital, but it's also a bustling college town and a cultural hot spot. Streets are lined with oak trees and heavy with Spanish moss, giving it this quiet yet beautiful southern charm. And when it gets dark, the nightife and university culture keep it both alive and unpredictable. For most people, this Friday was nothing unusual. People were busy finishing their work days. Students met up with friends for drinks. And in a quiet shopping plaza just off of Thomasville Road, a handful of locals gathered at Hot Yoga Tallahassee. To those who entered, this studio was their sanctuary after a long week of work. A place to escape the noise outside and to stretch and breathe and finally find peace in the stillness of the evening. However,

peace can be a very fragile thing. And that night, they unknowingly found the total opposite of what they were looking for because that was the night that an insufferable and dangerous man was ready to walk in. The man's name was Scott Beerley. Now, at first, he seemed to just blend into the crowd, just a normalllooking guy with a yoga mat and a black backpack. But our story today isn't only about the horror that unfolded inside the yoga studio that night, but also about Scott Beerley himself alongside his unsufferable ego and the long and bitter path that led him there. And so, on that note, let's talk about Scott and why you should strive to become the total opposite of him. Okay, so who exactly was Scott Bailey? Well, on the surface, he was actually quite unremarkable. He was middle-aged, well educated, and had a resume that ticked all of the boxes for a rather respectful person. He was an

army veteran, a former high school teacher, and even had two M's degrees. So, to the casual observer, he might have even passed as someone that you'd trust or even admire. But, as is the case with many of these monsters, once you peel back that facade, things aren't quite as they seem. And in Scott's case, what you'll find is a lot less Army veteran and much more cringe Reddit user. Now, I'm going to be blunt with you here, but Scott's going to get a lot of heat from me in this video, and I'm not going to feel bad about it either, because he wasn't just opinionated. He was a misogynistic and violent bully. In fact, a lot of his videos, music, and openly public beliefs will quite literally blow you away. So, it turns out that Scott had a long documented history of hating women and it's probably the thing that he is now most known for. But unfortunately, it doesn't stop there because he also spouted many

extremist beliefs and behaved in many ways that ranged from inappropriate to outright criminal. And his prejudice did not stop there either because he was also racist, anti-Semitic, and basically carried a grudge against anyone who didn't look, think, or breathe exactly like him. In fact, if you were to make a ven diagram of groups that Scott Bealey didn't hate, the only thing in the middle would probably be Scott Bealey. And even then, I'm not entirely sure. You see, Scott's bitterness towards the world started young. In one of his many video rants, he recalled being an awkward eighth grader and one that was convinced that girls in his class were always plotting to embarrass and humiliate him. He described those moments of being ignored at the tender age of 13 as if it somehow were some kind of super villain transformation. In fact, he would even moan about what he called quote virginity burden. Of

course, blaming all of the girls for not giving him the romance that he believed he apparently deserved. At the age of 15, Scott even admitted that he could no longer stomach listening to love songs because they apparently reminded him of the life that he wasn't living. In short, while most of us were worried about homework or prom dates, Scott was already perfecting the fine art of self-pity and hatred, things did not seem to improve either. In high school, his behavior was so troubling that he was ordered to undergo psychiatric evaluations on multiple occasions. In a video he said, "I have never gone to a psychiatrist on my own valition, nor would I ever. I have been ordered to visit one on four separate occasions though, dating back to high school, all having to do either with females or my mania." However, behind those mounting concerns, Scott was quite smart, actually. After high school, he went on

to earn a bachelor's degree, followed by not one but two master's degrees in public administration and urban planning. With all of this behind him, on paper, it actually looked like he had quite a solid future. With credentials like that, it's quite clear he was pretty smart. And to be honest with you, all he really needed to do at this stage was maybe have a bit of self-reflection and touch up on his social skills. I think those two things alone would have provided a stable career and a happy home, which then could have led to a future wife. And of course, all he really needed to do was first of all respect himself, but then secondly, and maybe even most importantly, was respect others. But obviously, that didn't happen. Otherwise, I wouldn't be telling you this story today. And as the years went by, he didn't grow kinder or wiser.

He grew stranger, angrier, and far more insufferable. Over time, Scott became obsessive over violent fantasies and infamous killers. In fact, he would even write about doing this sort of pilgrimage to the many sites linked to the serial killer Ted Bundy. This even included the boarding house and the sorority house where Ted murdered two women in 1978, which by the way is the same year that Scott was born. All of this was very concerning because you know what was quite clear to me throughout all of my research is that Scott saw Ted's path as some sort of holy journey, which is really messed up, right? His attitude towards women was outright vile. In his writings, he would routinely demonize women. In one excerpt, he said, "Just beneath a woman's blushing lashes and innocent smiles lies the most rancid and putrid, sickening essences." Real classy there, Scotty. It is clear to see that if there

was one thing as strong as Scott's misogyny, it was probably his unlimited self-entitlement. He believed that the world owed him affection, sex, and admiration, and he was furious when reality did not deliver. Online, he gravitated towards the incel community, which, as many of you will already know, is an echo chamber where men seem to cry to each other about their lack of finding a partner. But the thing is, Scott didn't just seem to sympathize within cells, but he outright saw himself as one, too. In fact, in one of his YouTube videos, he even praised Elliot Roger. If you don't know who that is yet, then just Google him and you'll see what I mean.

To Scott, Elliot wasn't an insufferable toad, but an inspiration instead, which to be honest really tells you all you need to know about him. I'd like to send a message now to the adolescent males, if there are any ultimately watching, that are in the the position or the the the situation, the disposition of of Elliot Roger of like not getting any I mean, I I don't think a female can ever understand the societal pressure that's put on an adolescent male to unbburden himself of this stigma. that that society's put on him. This this virginity virginity um burden.

Now, socially, Scott was no different offline. Those who crossed paths with him described him as awkward, angry, and openly bigoted. I mean, even acquaintances picked up on his toxicity. So, in other words, Scott was just as tolerable as petrol in your morning coffee. His life seemed to be one failure after another and almost always because of his own behavior. We'll go into why precisely in just a minute, but the long story short here is that Scott simply could not exist in normal society without stirring up chaos. After graduating, he took up work as an English teacher at Mid High School, which can be found in an Arendel County in Maryland. However, it wouldn't take long for trouble to follow. It turns out that not even one year into his post, he was investigated by police over a complaint from one of his female students. She claimed that apparently he had touched her arm and even suggested

that she wore more revealing low cut tops. And believe it or not, he also asked her if she could maybe pose for Playboy. Police investigated these claims, but ultimately the case was dropped when they couldn't prove it. As a result, no charges were pursued. However, that is not to say that nothing happened. Scott was lucky not to face any prosecution, but it seems that the damage was already done because shortly after this, he was no longer employed at the school. Whether he was formally dismissed or allowed to resign quietly under his own terms still remains unclear. However, what is clear is the pattern that it foreshadowed. Because moving forward, you will see how many times this adult who is in a position of trust seemed to cross the line with a young woman and then just simply walk away with little consequence. So, you might be thinking, well, maybe the military could straighten out someone

like Scott. But unfortunately, think again. In the year 2008, Scott enlisted into the US Army and would even graduate at the Officer Candidate School with the rank of second lieutenant. On paper, this looked like a promising career, and let's face it, it would keep him away from young women, too. However, in reality, it was just another environment where his true character bled through. Within 2 years of being here, he was under investigation for an appropriate sexual contact with female soldiers who were under his command. So basically, even in one of the most disciplined and structured institutions in the world, he still couldn't help himself from being creepy and crossing boundaries. By 2010, the army had had enough. Scott was dismissed under unacceptable conduct.

And yet somehow he still managed to walk away with an honorable discharge. In other words, his record stayed clean. What should have been a red flag of the highest order was instead quietly swept under the rug. And just like that, he once again slipped through the system. After leaving the army, Scott then moved to Tallahassee where he claimed he was there for graduate school at Florida State University. But true to form, he quickly left behind a trail of complaints. It was in December of 2012 that Scott walked up to a student and then grabbed her butt. And when she spun around, of course, being absolutely shocked, he muttered that it apparently was an accident. However, only a few minutes later, she then saw him do it to two other women nearby, both of them wearing yoga pants, by the way, which is important for later on in this video. It was clear, though, that this was not clumsiness. It was assault in broad

daylight. Scott was arrested and then charged with battery, and the FSU were very quick to ban him from ever returning to that dining hall again. However, when it came to pressing charges, his victims once again dropped them. For Scott, this was nothing more than a close call and also kind of a lesson to teach him that there were no consequences in his actions. In the months that followed, there were two additional reports of Scott apparently groping women. In fact, by 2014, that pattern had become so undeniable that the campus actually banned him altogether. Put bluntly, Scott was a shameful creep that really needed to be stopped. But instead of prison or any sort of real accountability, he always managed to slip away. So despite multiple arrests, not even one of them had led to a conviction. In 2012, and after groping students in the FSU dining hall, he was charged with battery. And later in the year 2016, he was charged

again for another assault. And even then, he still did not accept boundaries, picking up another charge for trespassing when he violated the campus ban. By 2018, Scott had at least three arrests on record. However, when you looked at his official file, it was still actually spotless. In short, with Scott having a technically clean record, he could actually pass background checks with ease. With these background checks being the tool designed to keep predators like him out of classrooms and workplaces, which is just totally staggering. Scott was routinely recognized as a danger. And yet, when it came to acting decisively, all of these institutions seemed to drop their case, quietly fire him, or provide bans only to one specific location. And what makes this even more concerning is that this was not simply a case of Scott just simply slipping through the cracks, but he was quite literally committing

extremely concerning crimes on military and university property. And yet here they were just letting him get away with it, too. Of course, this meant that after being fired at Florida State, Scott simply found another job still as a substitute teacher in the Leyon County School District. Even from the very beginning, staff had their doubts. Apparently, during his interview, he was described as looking rude, frustrated, and angry, and scary throughout. He even asked that his password would be Carnifex, the Latin word for executioner. The staff who noticed this were horrified and recommended that he was not hired. But whether through oversight or simple desperation, that was ignored and instead he started work the following week. It was only a few months into this new job that Scott found himself in trouble once again. But this time it was because he was caught watching porn while covering a class

filled with high school students. It wasn't subtle either because apparently all of the students saw this when he accidentally broadcasted it to the classroom projector. Of course, when staff confronted him about this, Scott tried to make up this excuse that apparently it was a virus. But when staff checked his internet history, well, that told a very different story. And so, it's no surprise to learn that Scott was fired on the spot. However, thanks to his still ever clean criminal record, Scott found another job at another school in Florida. You're probably sick of this by now, but once again, he was fired within 2 weeks of starting that job after a child's parents came forward to say that he had very unsettling behavior. By May of 2018, he was now working as a substitute teacher at Galaxy Middle School, where again, he was caught with inappropriate behavior towards a female student. From

what I was able to find out, Scott basically asked this student if she was ticklish. And before she could even react, he then proceeded to stroke her just below her bra line. School administrators pulled him from the classroom immediately. But instead of cooperating, Scott then tried to flee the campus altogether. In fact, a school officer would even have to chase him down from across the parking lot to prevent him from escaping. And thankfully, for the first time in recorded Scott history, the school actually responded competently. He formally received a termination letter with Valuchia County Schools banning him from working anywhere in the system again, thus theoretically marking an end to his teaching career. By mid 2018, Scott had now been expelled, fired, or banned from five major institutions, including no less than Maryland schools, the US Army, Florida State University, Leyon County Schools, and now Valuchia

County. In every scenario, his misconduct included harassment, assault, or threatening behavior, most often directed towards women. And the crazy thing is, up until now, and in every single case, he somehow managed to walk away scot-free. By the summer of 2018, his life was basically in ruins. At the age of nearly 40, he was unemployed, blacklisted from teaching, essentially living in near total isolation, and of course, still single. His bank account would often dip below zero and he could barely look his neighbors in the eye because basically nobody wanted him there. In one of his songs, which was named My Glamorous Life, he basically sneered at this bleak reality, mocking his own circumstances as if sarcasm could make the misery go away. However, what most people might see as a wake-up call, he only saw this as confirmation of his delusions. And you know what? I'm just going to roll his track here for

you to listen for yourself. Shooting rats in my backyards, my safari, my 70 gremlins, my Ferrari. You'll never see me in a ski vacation. On my days off, I work at a gas station. I don't have time to play croquet. I rob the neighbor's Christmas display.

Instead of pausing to consider that, hey, maybe I'm the problem, Scott doubled down instead. In Scott's eyes, his misfortune wasn't a lesson. It was evidence that he was a victim to all women. Now, once again, I want to stress just how often Scott would actually expose himself as a real danger to women. And this wasn't hidden or cryptic, but in plain sight. And these weren't isolated incidents or minor slip-ups either. They were constant, blatant, and deeply concerning. And the crazy thing is that everything we've talked about so far has pretty much been in the real world only.

But when you look at what he was saying online, that was even more troubling. Over time, Scott would become further detached from society. And in its path, he would also find his own online echo chamber, where, no surprise, he found Reddit and the Incel community. And let's just say all that did was inflame the situation. Using the name Carnifx, just like his work laptop password, Scott then flooded the internet with his vile content. As you already know, this mainly consisted of YouTube video rants and his own music. They became the main stage for him to broadcast his feelings, which basically meant putting toxicity onto anyone unlucky enough to listen.

Now that you know about his predatory nature, it is probably time that we talk more about his music. I mean, look, just putting it bluntly to you, this is easily some of the most indigestible slop that I've ever had the displeasure of finding. Some of his tracks names include nobody's type, eff them all, handful of bare ass, I don't fatties for free, and who let the [ __ ] out. The hell with the boss, I won't get off my back. The hell with the girl I can't get in the sack. The hell with the good times. I can't get back. The hell with my life.

I can't get on track. To call these songs terrible would be far too kind. Scott's so-called music was the kind of dril that would clear out a karaoke bar before the first verse was even over. The guy was quite clearly painfully offkey, awkward, and just totally unlistenable. However, the real sickness here wasn't in his lack of talent, but in the lyrics. In one of his songs named Locked in My Basement, he talks about drugging a woman out of lust, locking her in his basement, and then doing unspeakable things to her.

And you know the drill by now. Here's 30 seconds of it. Just enough to sour your mood and make you wish I hadn't pressed play.

Now you're locked in my basement. You'll never say a word. When you scream out in terror, you cannot be heard. Oh, one day I know that you will learn to love me. But even when you do, I cannot set you free. And here's half a minute of another song just to balance the mood out a little bit. Half the lyrics are completely indecipherable. The other half are pretty funny though.

Flapping in the breeze. Flop it all around. Flapping like the sound. Flop it in the air. Flapping in the sky. Better look out. Going to flop it in your eye.

Throughout all of these songs, it was quite clear that one major theme dominated his content. Of course, that being misogynistic extremism. As you've seen through parts of this video already, in 2014, and while still living in Tallahassee, he recorded a bunch of deranged rants before then uploading them to YouTube. Some of these are still available to this day, but by far and wide, most of it has found itself to archives across the internet. In one video which was titled Plight of the Adolescent Male, Beerley talks about how society supposedly forces some young men to endure a sexless existence where he then directly compares himself to Elliot Roger. Of course, that being the notorious King of the Incelss. I'd like to send a message now to the adolescent males if there are any ultimately watching that are in the the position or the the the situation the disposition of of Elliot Roger of like not getting any I mean I I

don't think a female can ever understand the societal pressure that's put on an adolescent male to unbburden himself of this stigma. that that society's put on him this this virginity virginity um burden. I even remember telling a girl that that this I'll call her thunder thighs. I'm not going to refer to her by name and I meant it when I said it when I told her sex is overrated. It's that's not why I'm with you. That's not my primary uh objective in being uh with you. um the the dodo head. That's I I'll get to her in another time.

In another upload, unsuttly titled The Rebirth of My Misogynism, Scott recalls his earlier life experiences, blaming women for everything that ever went wrong for him. He also described about how he felt targeted by the so-called collective treachery of girls and also portrays himself as some kind of persecuted, sexless hero. two females that I was working with. This was one of this was I guess an intermediate rebirth and I was interacting with both of them. I must have asked for the phone number of the one and and she gave it to me and I tried to call her on several occasions. I couldn't get through. I didn't know whether I was but she told me where she worked in boys club.

Said okay I'll go say hi. I left a message. Can you tell so and so I stopped by? Next thing I get a phone call from the police. Oh, the what's going on with these girls? Like, why are you bothering me? Why Why is this a concern of yours? Again, this mentality, let's just run to the authorities when my our feelings are hurt. I've I committed no wrong. I'm just trying to hook up with this girl. Well, they've decided not to press charge. They've decided. Really? Have they? Well, thank them. I I I didn't ask what charges they could have pressed for me being aggressive. Are you can I press charges against them being evasive? Malevolence can idle or it can manifest itself into something I felt such malev I still feel malevolence towards them but have I been able to subjugate it at the very least they deserve to be emphasized and and highlighted for their their treachery. There's a bunch of other videos he posted, too, which I'll

continue to pepper in throughout this video, but for now, here's a few more. I'd like to talk about mongrelization a little bit today. Um, I see a lot of interracial couples in particular in this town, uh, for some reason. And although I guess that shouldn't be too shocking considering the demographics, but when I see an interracial couple, I I think one of two things, and I don't believe I I can't imagine that I'm unique in this. I think one of two things. Either the guy couldn't do any better, or the girl's a [ __ ] or has some variety of mental illness uh or psychological issue. If Scott imagined himself as some kind of dark bard of misogyny, the reality couldn't have been any more pathetic. Would you believe it?

But over the years, he vomited out more than 100 songs laced with violence, hatred, and outright perversion. He would even go as far to rent studios and hire professional musicians to help record dozens of these tracks for him. However, as one sound engineer would later admit, Scott possessed zero musical talent. And one more thing to add here is that Scott's music was not only hateful towards women, but also towards other cultures, immigrants, and gay communities. So, you might be wondering, with so much violence and hatred towards people, why didn't anyone call Scott and his music out, or at least report it to the police? Well, it turns out that someone actually did.

Because in August of 2018, one of Scott's old friends and his wife found his music. And out of morbid curiosity, they took a listen. His friend's wife was absolutely horrified and so she did what all of us would hope a responsible citizen would do. She reported him to an anonymous tip line which eventually would actually make its way to the FBI. However, after reviewing his material, they found that his content fell under protected free speech and therefore concluded that there was no actionable threat. Great job, guys. This warning was a huge chance to capture a killer in the making, but tragically it was ignored and then left to die in an email instead. And although hindsight can be 2020, it is haunting to look back at this situation and realize that they were so close. When you connected the dots in Scott's content, the picture itself was actually painfully clear.

This was a man who was fantasizing about becoming a mass shooter. I mean, he quite literally sang about it in tracks like My Bullets Will Touch You. And if that wasn't enough already, he would even write about it and even talk about it in his videos. For four long years, Scott documented his failures with women, relationships, and work. And eventually, he arrived at one false conclusion, that violence was his solution. The really frustrating thing here is that all of his songs, videos, and essays were not merely harmless venting, but quite literally propaganda for violence. And it's worth highlighting here that he wasn't trying to hide it either. He was quite literally shouting about it. He spent years writing essays, recording songs, posting video rants, and even grabbing women in public. And when he was banned, fired, and expelled over and over again about this behavior, still nothing

happened. The legal system quite literally shrugged it off and called it free speech. And if you really look at the truth behind all of this, the lack of punishment probably normalized it for him, too. By the middle of 2018, Scott had nothing left but hate. Without a job, any prospects or community, and just a head full of absolute baloney, his mental health tanked from insufferable to outright dangerous. It was during this summer that through his fantasies, he began to methodically prepare for one. On July the 23rd, 2018, Scott walked into a porn shop in Orange County and bought a Glock 17. And because his record contained no actual convictions, his background check revealed nothing. Moving forward, over the following weeks, he stockpiled on ammunition. And in one sick display of control, he also chose to target a yoga studio, which, as you can imagine, would be a room filled with mostly women. You

know, I don't think Scott realized this, but instead of shooting up a yoga studio, he could have simply just joined one instead. I mean, it's a great place to relax and get to know people that you could even go on to date. In August and then September of 2018, he meticulously researched Hot Yoga Tallahassee online, calling the studio multiple times to predict their schedules and crowd patterns. Moving into October, he unfortunately finally circled a date, and that would be November the 2nd at 5:30 p.m. And then, probably in what he believed would be his own way of leaving something behind, just like Elliot Roger did, he then uploaded a song named Femal to the internet. Curiously, his entire album was uploaded on the same day that he planned the attack. And I know that it says November the 3rd here, but I think that's because I'm technically a day ahead in Australia. If you listen closely to his song, it basically spells

out his plan to find as many females as possible to die with, which in hindsight is absolutely horrific. When all I hear all the time is no. When all I feel is my frustration grow. [ __ ] them all. [ __ ] them all. On the afternoon of November the 2nd, 2018, Scott drove more than 250 mi north from Deltona to Tallahassee. Inside the car was his Glock, extra magazines, and a yoga mat with him, of course, to blend in for as long as he needed. He would even bring his own earplugs with him, not to drown out his own music while driving in his car, but to muffle the sound of his own gunfire. Scott arrived shortly after 5:30 p.m. with a black bag slung across his chest. Once inside, he paid for a single session, unrolled his mat, and then smiled. And believe it or not, but he even sickenly told staff that he'd hoped the class would be bigger. He then waited both patiently and deliberately until the class was

underway. And unfortunately, you know what happened next. And as you can see from the videos and news reports of the aftermath, it wasn't good. Tonight, the mass shooting inside a Tallahassee yoga studio making national headlines has left people around the country and police asking why. The gunman killed two people and hurt at least four others. Police have identified him as this guy, 40-year-old Scott Beerley of Deltona. Investigators were at the home where he lived in Valuchia County earlier today and so was News 6's Clay Leard.

Throughout the day, detectives were inside this home on Azora Drive looking for clues to try to help them figure out why a man would open fire on a Tallahassee yoga studio. Tallahassee police say 40-year-old Scott Beerley pretended to be a customer before pulling out a handgun at Hot Yoga in Tallahassee Friday evening, killing two people and injuring five others before killing himself. Officers searched the hotel room where Beerley was staying nearby, but they hoped they could get more answers from what was inside this home where Beerley lived in Deltona, nearly 4 hours away from the shooting.

Several neighbors tell News 6 that Beerley was renting a room out of this home, but not for very long.

Quiet. Harley saw him. I think he was a loner, and I can see that he mind his own business. Beerley had been arrested in the past for grabbing women, but those charges were eventually dropped. We've also learned Beerley worked at Valuchia County Schools in 2017, but it's not clear in what capacity.

We really just got a very weird vibe from him. My daughter had an incident with him at her job and um with kind of like watching people and making them feel uncomfortable. And so, we just all got weird vibes from him. Police say they still haven't found a connection between Beerley and the yoga studio or the people that were inside in Deltona. Clay Leard, News 6. Scott Beerley opened fire inside that yoga classroom and as a result, five people were injured with a further two murdered. These numbers are already tragic, but what is also horrifying to learn is that if nobody' intervened to stop him, it would likely be far higher.

In the hours after the shooting, people learned that a man had actually attacked Scott with a broom and a vacuum cleaner, giving people precious time to run away. And I think after realizing that he was easily going to be overpowered, Scott then stopped his attack early and ended his own life instead. The police arrived promptly with innocent civilians and bystanders from nearby restaurants and bars offering to help in any way that they can. And while those injured would go on to make a full recovery, it sadly was all too late for two women.

Mora Binkley was only 21 years old when she passed away. She is remembered as a bright and kind student and was the glue of her friendship group. She had her whole life ahead of her and a future that was full of promise was cut short before it could even begin. Dr. Nancy Van Bessum was 61 years old and was a respected physician and the chief medical director of a major health plan. She was also a faculty member at Florida State University's College of Medicine. She had spent her entire life caring for other people and now close to her retirement. She was gunned down. In the days that followed, Tallahassee grieved.

Vigils caught hundreds of people and the city tried to honor what had been lost. For all who knew them, Nancy Van Vessum and Mora Binkley are remembered by the way they lived with compassion, kindness, and strength. And their absence has left a hole that can never be filled. In the months after the shooting, the US Secret Services National Threat Assessment Center conducted a deep review on Scott's case, where they sought to publish a report to extract lessons from the tragedy. And unfortunately, but also kind of expected, their findings were quite damaging towards public trust. To begin with, they noted that Scott had what they referred to as quote, "A lengthy and publicly open history of misogynistic extremism." They also noted that he had displayed nearly every behavioral red flag on record, which included violent fantasies, a history of bullying and being bullied, financial instability, untreated mental health

struggles, chronic interpersonal aggression, and an anger that only grew sharper with time. That means for the first time ever in his life, Scott could actually offer people the entire package. It's just a shame it was kind of in the most rotten and horrific way possible. Experts would also conclude that not only are these all common markers among perpetrators of misogynistic violence, but in Scott's case, every marker was either missed or ignored. Put quite simply, the report's conclusion was unambiguous. It determined that both communities and law enforcement did not do enough to stop Scott in his tracks, and that included the FBI.

The report's conclusion was both comforting but also bitter because although Scott's rampage was certainly entirely avoidable, it at least forced this conversation into the spotlight. Before stories like Scott Beerley or Elliot Roger, incel violence was rarely acknowledged outside of the internet. But now agencies across the world recognize it. And on the note of recognition, I just want to highlight here that Scott never actually achieved the infamy that he so desperately wanted. Quite the opposite actually because instead he's basically remembered as this insufferable coward who made terrible music. Over time Scott's name will slowly become a distant nightmare. And for now we'll remember the two who really mattered. Of course that being Dr. Nancy Van Bessum and Mora Binkley. Friends and families will remember them for everything good that they had created. Of course that being something that Scott never

achieved. So, to wrap this case up, what precisely can we learn from this story? Well, more than anything, it's a cautionary tale. Not only should we never ignore warning signs like these again, but when someone commits a serious crime, it should be dealt with seriously. I mean, that's kind of obvious when I say it out loud, right? But in this case, that opportunity was missed on multiple occasions. And that's the case of Scott Bealey. And I think what makes this story so infuriating is how predictable this was years prior. Scott wasn't this misunderstood genius or tortured soul, but just some angry man who refused to better himself. Again, what I find fascinating here and in a way ironic is that Scott could have quite literally attended that same class, got to know people, and then even meet the future love of his life. Because yoga is filled with women, so why not just talk to them? The man needed therapy, obviously.

I mean, anybody who refers to women as demons quite clearly needs help. Oh, and there is one other lesson to learn from this story. If you ever come across music this terrible, make sure you contact the FBI. Anyway, those are my thoughts on the case of Scott Bealey. Of course, I'd love to know what you think about this one, too. So, please leave a comment down below. And with that said, folks, so concludes Coffee House Crimes most horrifying cases of 2025. and hope you found this compilation well darkly interesting. But before you go, what case did you personally find most horrifying this year? Not just of the five covered today, but out of all the stories I've covered in 2025. That isn't a random question, by the way. I genuinely want to know because what it will do for me is help me research next year's cases. So, please do share a comment down below. Just one final thing before I finish today. I just want to

say thank you so much for being part of the coffee house crime community. not only today in this video, but throughout the entire year of 2025. And I hope that you have a merry Christmas and a happy new year. So, on that note, folks, I suppose I'll see you in the new year sometime in January. But until the moment arrives, remember to take it easy, look after yourself and your loved ones, and of course, stay safe and stay curious. Thank you and goodbye.
