The way he's was sitting during the interview - dead give away. You rock Mike!!

Lord Ravage

Your the man mike

Etak Doow

Me too

James Herington

I live about an hour away from where this happened and knew Karen very well through being a student at Shasta College. Horrific and sad. May Karen Duenas rest in peace

Lorna Gemmell-Alston

My April fool “prank” was my youngest giving me a black eye...and it’s my birthday too - I’m done with April fools

Cindy Cox

I listened to what he was actually saying and was stunned 😂- he literally told the 911 operator he killed her..my God!! He couldn't seem to STOP telling on himself.. Wow..

Mike: I supposed I could insert the life insurance dance here... Me: ***yells*** YESSSSSSSSSS! Mike: but nahhh Me: 😔

Amanda Baby-Pie

No one dies in this Mike (although they nearly did) but a fascinating story, I think you'd find it worth a watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXE7PB2d4Ts

Thanks again Mike, I think your rise to fame is the “cheerfully creepy” touch on your videos. Don’t ever lose that humor. We know it’s peoples lives but you make it entertaining to watch and not a bore-fest. So so talented! Have a great week

Sheila Kelley

Thanks for another great video, Mike. I need more life insurance dance scenes! You’re such a tease! ❤️ from Illinois On a sadder note, look up Breasia Terrell. This a local story of a missing little girl and her remains were recently found. 😥

Chanyell Bruner

😂😂 omg I haven’t watched it yet but this comment is hilarious

This World Sucks

No offense, but I personally don't want to watch anything on the Titanic or Columbine. They've both been done to death. It'd be like Mike covering Bundy or Dalmer.

Jack McCauley

cheers Mike! This wasn't really a who dunnit, unless "who" translates to "Mark", cuz Mark dunnit. I mean, he told us, twice! 😂

Andrew Harris

Marky Mark & the Funky Hunch doing a knifey to the wifey huh? 😂 Amazing.

Pink Lion

English isn’t my first language, I had my volume way down and I heard ‘I killed my wife’. I even had to go back and listen it again. It was so clear to me that I thought “why is this a case, he confessed right away?” Maybe says more about me?

Josh Lessner

So did we just get fridays video early? I was really hoping for another one today as well. Oh well, good things take time. I’ll be patiently waiting for the next one. 😁

Rebecca Lyn

HAPPY FRIDAY That Chapter friends and family!! Dia Duit Mike!!

The materials in semen will absorb the UV light and fluoresce if they aren't too old. Answer: Primarily the reaction is between the iron in the bloods hemoglobin and luminol

Jojo

Redding police notoriously lazy hick town. This guy probably didn't do it. I looked at the "blood evidence" images of his shorts and ew no. Luminol may have reacted but not to any blood lol .

Amanda Baby-Pie

I was hoping the wedding ring was a long running prank.... :(

Charles Lyonhart

Your shows are way better than some April Fools joke.

Amanisha Jay

If you want info of the boy in the attic let me know bu by email, amanisha_af@yahoo.com or search online papers. It was in the New Yorker, I think.

Amanisha Jay

Can I offer some ideas for April cases? April has a history of bad people and bad events. I dont know if you're interested in doing Columbine, which happend on Hitlers birthday, April 20th. There was a kid in the area I grew up in and he was held captive for 4 years in his mom and boyfriends attic. No one knew the horror that was going on behind the black tarps covering the windows. No one knew he was there. It's not a crime case but a tragedy. April 14th & 15th, 1912 when the titanic sunk. It is a crime that only 1/3 has a real chance to live, or put your foil hat on and debunk some mysteries around the Titanic. Being Irish, didn't your people build it? I'm sure you can dig up some conspiracies that happend in big events in April.

Juril Ducusin

My day was so crazy I almost forgot about this!! Marky Mark and the Funky Hunch 🤣 Great way to end my night. Thanks Mike!!

Mary Muller Durkin

Do we know if he had any drugs in his system at the time? Perhaps even an observation from an investigator, police, etc that were there that night if they didn’t test him then?

Mary Muller Durkin

Just wanted to say hello from Binghamton 👋

Mary Muller Durkin

We have a person of interest and we are interested in that person 🤦‍♀️😂

Mary Muller Durkin

Marky Mark and the Funky Hunch 😂

Paula Bernardes-Silva

Anyway, I think there's a very reasonable doubt, so I don't agree with the conviction.

Paula Bernardes-Silva

Hi, Mike! I went back and listen six more times to the 911 call, and still can't decide. At first, it seemed to me that he said "found my wife sick", but then it could also be "stabbed my wife". But I definitely think he said "sick", and not "shit", wich doesn't make much sense: "I stabbed my wife sick"???

Kelly Gunz Marshall

Do the damn dance Mike!

s

Hi Mike! I'm curious to know if obtaining 911 calls for these cases is difficult. Thank you.

Zebra

great one again ...

Zebra

Mike! Let’s gooo!

Zebra

Don’t worry about sounding repetitive, we like it. A good combo/recipe can go on forever ... look at the simpsons, South Park, etc. let’s gooo!!!

Lisa

I feel like Mark is guilty. Should have watched his words.

Andrea Giffin

I have so many questions!!! Was the 911 operator ever questioned or did he testify? Were there any tests run to substantiate the detective's initial impression of the stabbing having occurred much earlier? Did Karen's body temperature and estimated time of death correlate with Mark's story? Could they determine if the screen was cut from the inside or outside (or have I watched too much CSI!)? Did the footprints in the grass bear any resemblance to Mark's? My gut says guilty but.....

Soffity

Alice,, thanks for replying,,do you think it’s right/ isn’t that the whole point of the judgment by 12 of your peers type of court..that there shouldn’t be a conviction just because the jury doesn’t like the man or thinks the stats show he should have done it.? They talk about reasonable doubt all the time but it seems to go out the window. I’ve never been on a jury and a murder case where someone whole life is at stake must be so hard but shouldn’t they follow the “rules”. I’m not American and my country doesn’t have the death penalty but then again having the death penalty isn’t a deterrent at all when you look at the stats. It’s interesting to hear what others think/ being put in prison for life for something you didn’t do must be one of the worst things that can ever happen to a person. And I’m not saying this man is innocent. I’m just saying there seems to be a derth of evidence..

Kitkat420_dana

another banger Mike

Nika

When I listened to the call, each time I heard ‘found my wife sick’, and thought to myself “ok so how is that controversial?” :) Was excited to see what others heard!

Sash Johnson

Hey, did you know that next to Mt. Shasta is Black Butte? Black Butte is what’s called a plug dome volcano, meaning that it started out as a large crater at the base of Mount Shasta, and then got formed by thick magma that kept pushing upwards and overflowing during multiple eruptions. So it's a black butte plug. 😂😂😂😂

Sash Johnson

I guess I'm the only one who says there's just not enough there to rule out reasonable doubt. Cops always point to the most available person and build a case. Certainly that's often the best suspect, but it seems they move that way with blinders. I'm not saying he didn't do it. I just have doubt. Mike, you're the best part of my Thursday! 😘

ReSearcher

I had to pause the video. Mike’s comment of “Who owned the foot?” killed me. 🤣😂

Charity Dunning

That's a tough one. Did the cops check the showers or sinks for cleaning? Fingerprints? Anything!? You'd be way more covered if you stabbed someone 26 times. And if he did say "shot" that doesn't make sense of she was stabbed. This all has too many holes to put someone away for life. I hate how easily we convict here. That's just not enough!

Deanna D

Hear, hear! The world may indeed suck, but That Chapter's Patreon comment section never has. :)

Christopher Moore

Man I really wanted him to be innocent of the killing but after that 911 call?... Sure sounded like he fucked up and said he killed her. You brought up several good points. Now I think he did it. And his son! WTF! He’s just a piece of shit on a whole nother level. Thanks for another great video my dude

Deanna D

I'm actually surprised there wasn't life insurance involved for a couple married for 33 years. Maybe there was, but it was just enough to pay for funeral costs and a headstone.

bansidheaz

On the 911 call, I hear Mark say, "I stabbed my wife." Those audio recordings are tough, though. I wonder if they enlisted the services of a forensic audio expert or if a bunch of less qualified people just guessed. Also, the small, wry pause after Mike said the seemingly inevitable "tirty tree" made me snort with laughter.

Full Moon Mama

You were the only reason I went to YouTube. Now, I watch you on Patreon and don’t have to go to YouTube anymore! Why didn’t you show Mt Shasta when you were talking about Mt Shasta? It’s an amazing, beautiful, magical mountain and I’m so happy you talked about her.

Si Greg

"that's men for ya" 😂

Josh Lessner

You’re killin it Mike! 😉 Seriously though, great work and we always appreciate the videos you put so much work into. Keep it going. Shout out from Maryland, USA.

This World Sucks

Ah. The Patreon comment section is like iced tea on a hot day, after reading YouTube comments. I'm so happy for all the subscribers and support for Mike, but it came with a lot of morons that can really get under my skin, despite my best efforts to not let it bother me. So thank you to what seems to be a mostly sane audience 😻

Dennis Idzikowsky

Hi Dude.

Gabriella Rigoulot

Love seeing new stuff early 😀. When I heard the call at the beginning I heard “I killed my wife”

AlexPeaks

Freudian slip. My mom was a fingerprint analyst for 20 years and said it was pretty common.

Averi Nobles

"In the wrong slot...that's men for ya!" Hahahahah..I'm wheezing over here

Jane Pohl

Thanks Mike

Eddie Glass

FYI: You have plenty of time remaining to come up with a great April Fool prank. You've got a whole feckin' year starting from now.

Alice

I'm honestly always surprised at how many convictions are made despite heaps and heaps of reasonable doubt, even in cases where I believe someone is guilty.

ScaryPoppins

I love waking up to these! Btw, I just ordered my 4th season of hunt a killer using your "thatChapter" code. 😁

brenda redmond

Well he is not a very good actor. Separate bedrooms a secret phone and the girl that got away. That is the reason. A stupid selfish one but a reason. Did the other woman break it off? Maybe because he had a wife, so he did a little "Benihana on his Honey Bunny" and voila...No more wife.

Soffity

Yes, I blinched at that one too.

Soffity

So much for reasonable doubt, Whether Mark did it of not there doesn’t seem enough evidence to convict him of first degree murder, I haven’t seen the trial so who knows what came out but based on Mikes story I’m wondering why there wasn’t. “Reasonable doubt”. I’ve got reasonable doubt about the reasonable doubt..

Charles Lyonhart

Just watched your latest. As always excellent story and the way you share the tale is clever and makes the stories more interesting. The cat that you threw in with sound effects was a gem. Enjoyed immensely. The only bad point is now I have to wait a few days for your next show. I can go back and watch some of the older shows. Thank You Mike!!

Kathleen Morgan

Damn! Life insurance dance tease! Lol

Lucky Lex Pringle

Man, the 911 call definitely sealed his fate lol. Total slip!

Charles Lyonhart

Have not watched it yet. 6:57 am in Woodstock, New York. You made my day Mike. So glad that you just put out a new That Chapter. Thank You!!!!!

Tim Purdom

Thanks mate!!! From down in New Zealand!

Tanith Gordon

I’m awake for a release for once!! Yay! This guy was begging to tell people he did it! Also his son is a monster. Little disappointed we didn’t get the life insurance dance - maybe next time! Thanks for you awesome storytelling and entertaining skills, Mike!

Didi Cortez

"The person of interest is a person we're interested in." Mkayyyyyy!

Kelly Myring

Tomorrow may be good Friday but today is awesome Thursday. Thanks for the posting

R R

Trying to do house work & you pop up?! How can I possibly do house work when Mike has a video for me euuugh lol 🤣❤

Peri Jetton

Thanks Mike! Happy weekend ☮️

Didi Cortez

"Give it a goo or whatever!" I'm allowing you to exacerbate my insomnia! 😸

Emmett Serazin

I just googled "movies I can fall asleep to." And then this notification popped up. I won't fall asleep to it, but meh, sleep is overrated anyway. You're the best, Mikey :)
