Wonder how many people of color he’s killed
Race under the microscope at all times eh?
Unlike Bundy at least this one looked creepy
He was gonna make that a slave in his basement…this world is sick..watch your children
Dont paint all us introverted loners in the same light fam.
Not a cop?? Shocking! Not all but I’m betting many, are as crazy as the criminals they are supposed to protect us from.
In contrast to “kept to himself”, we had a local man have a party with friends while the body of his grandmother was covered and in a lawn chair in his back yard.
Everyone is considered weird when they are not understood! Yet in this case it proved true. The deputies thoughts & plans were written all over his face! It doesn’t take much discernment to know to watch him carefully!
They need better screening proves they just let anyone one in.
He looks like a weirdo.
Twiiter censorship files have been released
Neighbour 1 was super trusting, somehow managed to ignore all the signs.
“Hey neighbor! What’s that there? Golf club with a scope on it? Bowling ball with a fuse? Cool Bowie knife?”
Send the Dogs to Search where ever he patroled.
Fake news
Back the blue.
He looks so young. Knowing what we do nice that boyish face and small smile are reminiscent of Mona Lisa…there is a secret in that mind that should never come to light. Creepy…
People always say that they were ‘quiet’ and ‘never bothered anyone.’ Those ARE the very clues that lead to people like this!
99.99% of people that are quiet and never bother anyone are good people.
How could anyone think this guy is a ‘safe’ cop? The home itself seems like one from a Psycho film!!
In Fetal Alcohol Syndrome there is a thin upper lip.
A video of the basement and nothing else?
The police union will protect this guy and slander anyone that criticizes him as “cop haters”. Same thing with the Catholic church and pedophile priests. No one wants to admit they have some bad employees.
Mental health for young men in this country is at an all-time low. Their ability to communicate with women also really bad. This typical Incel personality profile is popping up in all facets of society. Mostly young white men, but it also has happened several times in the lgbtqia+ community and is now being seen in minority communities as well. Incel murderers according to Homeland security make up for 60% of mass shootings in this country and if we don’t do something about this mental health crisis it’s only going to get much worse.
So weird this guy looks familiar??
The guy looks like Norman Bates I wonder why he wanted to keep to himself!
Future serial killer making plans
So much for those psych evaluation you have to go through to be in law enforcement 😒
Who was catfishing him or her?
He used pictures of a good looking boy.
How this whacko ever got hired as a deputy is beyond belief !
It pays to know who or what is residing around you.
That man looks like a creep 🤣😩 ain’t no way ppl thought he was good
That little house looks so sad and lonely.
#ElonMusk #Twitter #HunterBiden #Lamestream #Schmedia #Blackout
The Majority of the Men on Facebook are Catfish with fake Profiles looking for Sugar Mama’s with Money!
Where this crazy pedophile murderous ex State Trooper internet troll get full cash offer to buy a house?🤨
I’d look a little deeper into his past.This time.
Nice little house i work two jobs seven days a week and still cant affrord it with a 14 month old 🙁 daughter any help?
What a dumb headline .. all of my neighbors keep to themselves.
Of course he did, he’s a psycho
It be the quiet ones 😮😮
I don’t know why he had to catfish as California liberal women are easy to take advantage of without even forcing them. Liberal women are fun to abuse and use.
Why don’t you trust the police they say 🤔
THE JUDGES IN SPAIN FEAR THE POLITICIANS.
SO.
THEY DO NOT JUDGE THEM.
I KNOW IT SO END.
These whites and sapas blacks are always taking each other out everytime I watch the news it’s you guys
Parents need to sit down with their daughters and have a serious talk about this story. It is not an isolated incident young women are being found murdered in every state and it’s been going on for years but right now it’s really accelerated for some reason talk to your girls tell them to be very very careful especially online. May the grace of God surround them
It’s not just young girls I feel. Recently my husband went to deposit his paycheck at the atm and a car followed him for almost an hour. He went to a drive thru and kept driving around until he decided to go inside a target store. He stayed there for a good while until the people who followed him parked and saw he was looking at them and making a phone call to pretend he was calling the cops and they left.
There’s so many evil people out there and I am somewhat young still (in my 20s) so I can’t tell you if it has always been this bad or if times have gotten worse but either way take care.
@Meep it’s everyone but an increase of violent crimes against women shot up
Bs label him a domestic terrorist for the violence
Cops are brainwashed gubment employees…nothing more.
Send me a video of the basment eff the house I need my dungeon right for my 15 year old queen………….THIS GUY WAS A SICK PUPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2023 it’s going to be even crazier can’t trust no one protect yourself in all times and Families members under your belt in all times! and plus a FedEx driver kidnapped seven year girl & end up dead in Texas….. 😔🙏 R.I.P
I no longer want a basement in my future house.
God bless the deputy. RIP
That is so scary…
He could have been that guy who locked up several women for years in his home.
Dude, just look at the guy. You can tell he’s off.
Where are all the racist comments….. oh wait nevermind.
the guy looks like a creep.
He was getting the house ready for many days of torture and “other” stuff until she was no more. Geez! Betcha he didn’t even go through a psych eval. to get the cop job.
He is beyond disgusting he put so much effort into trying to kidnap that baby smh.
Eww… could you not tell us how great of a character this man was. It is seriously disturbing how the media doesnt give that courtesy to certian victims (iykyk) but this creep gets it.
JUICIOS HASTA EL 2040.
UNA LOCURA.
A VER QUIEN LLEGA AL FINAL TODAVIA VIVO.
UN MARATHON JUDICIAL.
FIN.
Scary thing is more of this kind exist but haven’t been caught.
He wanted to see if the basement was suitable to keep little girls locked up in. Sick sick sick
The basement was for a soundproof dungeon
Nobody can move into a small town anywhere and not set off alarm bells.
This is so sickening. To deceive and murder these innocent people. In such cases he would have stalked this young girl and gathered information on the family. He may have thought in his delusional mind that he was in love with her, as a result he had to eliminate her parents and thought she would agree to go with him. Because she rejected him, her life was taken. To many of these cases are happening. Based on what the neighbors said, he was setting a plan in motion, sadly the precious lives of this family were lost. The mental health crisis is great and people need to start reporting issues when they see persons acting out of the ordinary.🙏🏼
What a weird looking hillbilly. Hoped he spent time in jail so inmates can get to him.
oh i bet …..
Let me get this right….
Law enforcement officer catfishes minor, kills her family, and kidnaps her! OH My Goodnesss‼️
They really need to start screening more thoroughly‼️
Brings a whole new perspective to law enforcement psych evaluation it’s not just him….
SUMMER OF 84 go watch it… this is the same thing
He was preparing a House of Horrors. The girl was lucky he didn’t get her there, even as she was unlucky in causing the death of her family through her fantasy.
He looks like a sick, warped individual sorry but it’s the truth
WTF OMG he sold a house to a murderer
HE WASN’T WEIRD TO LAW ENFORCEMENT
PERFECT FIT.
Search the house and that area please
You never know until it’s too late. Stay on top of your kids communications with the outside world. You’ll regret it if you don’t.
People still talk to their neighbors?
The one guy can’t seem to stop saying great things about this odious, despicable murdering monster.
“he was actually really nice…” so he was only theoretically a monster?
Nothing wrong with keeping to yourself. I keep to myself and it keeps me self in Chicago.
This is unbelievable I never know it’s going to work but thanks God I got paid same day I text them here on YouTube acclaimbanking
This is some “Dexter” type shizznit. 😳
Of course the White guy feels safe having an officer nearby.
He just became a State Trooper I wonder how he passed all the psych tests. Black windows & a basement.
This is so horribly sad 🙏🏼 🙏🏼 for the girl and her family.
The first dude seems like a straight up moron.
Rip edward😭
They give people like them all the opportunities to do all of this, when regular people that just wanted to buy a home to give their families proper living accommodations can’t get in anywhere and are homeless…….. Go figure
#ACAB Always forever and without exception.
NOT SATAN.
NO MORE TALES FINISH YOU NAZI KILLER.
END.
He looks like an incel
Did you think he had anything to do with the other 4 murders in Virginia
Suspect prolly got more victims out there
What race is the mass murderer?
Two more houses now on the market
I’m sick of people saying “they were so kind I never expected this”. Expect it. Everyone. Your own family. Your best friend. JFC please pay attention to what is going on around you
A killer´s house if I ever saw one
He looks like a psycho …. How’d they miss that
Why does he look like quinten tarintino?
SI RTVE PARTICIPO GRABADA EN EL FRAUDE DE BIDEN EXACTO.
This story just keeps getting crazier and crazier. It’s wild
Why is it always innocent people dying for no reason. There’s plenty of bad guys to go get out there. You’re going to flip out and go off the deep and have some balls and go after evil. You never hear about a vigilante hunting down child molesters. Always a church full of innocent people or something
This disgusting police department who’s hired this guy after he accused of 3 people most be disgusting as well
