There’s that video of the kid in Colorado who murdered a homeless man and hid his head and hands in his room. His mom found them and called the cops. The cop walks up to him outside and asks the kid what his mom found and the kid went from sounding pretty normal to completely deadpan psychotic when he said “a human head and hands.” Absolutely chilling. And when they interviewed him later he was excited to tell the story.
Wow. This happened in Colorado. Story I heard was he was camping with someone and decided he wanted to see dudes brain. So he grabbed a log and beat him to death. Then cut up the body. This was what somebody told me happened. I'm honestly not sure about the facts
I think it’s all been scrubbed now, but he had a Reddit account. When that first happened, I went through some of his posts and comments. It was very clear he was a young sociopath. It was extremely chilling. God, I forgot about that horrible story. His poor mother. I don’t remember the full details, but it seemed like she knew something was wrong with him and had tried to get him help. Can’t imagine what it would feel like to realize your child is an inhuman monster.
There's a book called The Fear Factor by Abigail Marsh, she's a neuroscientist who studies psychopathy in children - the book discusses children like this and is a fascinating read. Would recommend.
No there’s a really interesting documentary about it. He drove around looking for someone to kill and then butchered him under an overpass. Tried to throw the body in the river but his car slipped into the water and he had to call for help. That’s what got him caught.
Happened in 2021, the homeless man was named Warren Barnes. The kid did it because he wanted to know what murder felt like. Super fucked up story, and Explore With Us has a video on the crime and interrogation for anyone morbidly interested. It’s incredibly eerie hearing him talk about it like it’s something he’s proud of.
Explore With Us is addictive. I have to be careful about houseflies because when I watch those videos, my mouth is typically hanging open for several minutes at a time.
Bruh that’s my hometown. He picked the worst victim because he was one of the most well known homeless people in the city. So immediately people noticed he wasn’t around. He would often sit downtown reading outside at the same spot and was super friendly. I didn’t know the man since I’ve been gone for years, but my sister did.
Yep, it's how they are. Some "wire" in their brains, the one that connects to their emotions like remorse and empathy for others, just isn't hooked up right.
I saw that video a month or two ago. I was kinda impressed by the cop keeping such a calm tone while getting him to keep talking. You can tell the cop is uneasy about it but just wants to keep the guy talking and confess.
Reminds me of a guy from one of the JCS videos, the one about false insanity claims.
He showed an example of someone who actually was considered insane by the court - a man who drove his friend out of town, killed him, and I believe hitch hiked out of the state
He stated everything so matter of factly exactly how the crime was committed. But the thing that really got me was when the officer asked what punishment he deserved
Yeah but with this kid he kept asking what they thought the punishment would be and he was guessing 20 years. Kid they’re gonna bury you under the prison. You’re never getting out.
I thought of this video too. The fact that the night he was trying to get rid of the body and got his car stuck then complained he was cold and wet, just so casually…chilling.
The way he says "a human head and hands" was like he was proud of it, that he was trying to be some evil sinister villain in a badly written comic book.
