Was there a JCS video where a woman performs O Holy Night in the true crime investigation video?

I tried looking for it and couldn't find it. At this point it feels like I imagined the whole thing.

I miss you Jim

I would like to think Jim Can’t swim will occasionally view Reddit out of sheer interest of the community created from the content. So I’m writing this in hopes the creator will see this - I miss you so much Jim can’t swim no other YouTube video will ever compare to the sound of the Jim can’t swim voice overs I miss him so much I would do anything to get Jim back I just hope the return happens while I’m alive

I hope you see this Jim and know that someone is holding their breath for your return.

Why do most true crime youtubers no longer include interrogation commentary?

Daves lemonade, Matt Orchard, and I think explore with us have completely dropped it. This is my favorite part of the videos.

what's the craziest interrogation you've ever seen?

I have a 10 hour drive in front of me in a couple of days, would love to listen to some great ones.

Something where the suspect is completely insane or just something where the entire interrogation is extremely entertaining.

Thank you JCS fam

How many interrogations have you watched in your lifetime?

Genuine question, how many have you watched? My friend just told me he watched 800+ interrogations. I thought my 200+ was an impressive number (been a fan since February 2023)

Does anyone have more than that?

No Criminal Psychology Channel Does It Like JCS

Closest one is Explore With Us and honestly I don't feel like they hold a candle to JCS. I think one of the things that makes JCS great is that it isn't constantly interrupting, but instead giving you the tools to help you interpret the footage on your own while discussing things that came out later and also providing context and storyboarding that made sense. Every EWU video is kinda the same. Diagnosis the person with APD and interrupts every 5 seconds with body language analysis that half the time doesn't really mean anything. JCS is always explaining WHY the detectives are doing what they're doing and how they illicit a specific response from the suspects while I feel like a lot of other channels just kind of speculate on what the suspect was thinking in the moment.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's bad if you like EWU's content, if anything, I'm glad if you do, it's pretty objectively good content if I set aside my obvious bias for JCS. Those are the reasons it isn't for me personally.

JCS is also just straight up funny. I'll never forget the clip where a defense attorney says "They never dealt with law enforcement before" and the narrator just cuts in to say "Yeah, you don't say". It never felt like some corporate slop, it mainly felt like people who had actual commentary to give and wanted to genuinely share something they found interesting to the world rather than tap into a budding youtube market,

I just miss JCS. Every few months I binge all of their videos and get sad remembering the ones that aren't up anymore. I was so excited last year when they pushed out a few videos but was heartbroken to see that they stopped as soon as they started. Here's to hoping to getting a few more.

Content and quality similar to JCS

Just wanted to make a post for anyone who, like me, misses the good old days of JCS content. I see posts on here often asking for content that can replace JCS and the answers always seem to be the same bigger channels like EWU or Dreading, which are great, just not the same. A few months ago I found a smaller (but quickly growing) channel on youtube called Abstract (previously Real Horror). The channel is a one woman show, and like JCS, videos come out few and far between due to the insane amount of high quality research, writing, editing, and even 3-D modeling that goes into them. The videos are very captivating, eerie, well researched, and the stories are told in a way that makes it feel like the channel creator really respects and honors the subjects in her videos. It is an insane amount of work for one person, and the result is incredible. Didn’t want to keep this super cool channel all to myself. Happy watching!

Simmilar Channels on Youtube BUT without the crime factor?

Hello everybody and a great day to all of u!

So i am wondering, if there are more Channels on Youtube, that kind of analize peoples behavior, professional (best case from a video). More or less like JCS, but likei said, without (focus on) the crime topic.

Thanks in advance :-)

Joel Guy Jr?

Does anyone have the JCS for Joel Guy? It was one of the best coverages of the case including all of the body camera footage etc. and unfortunately it looks like YouTube took it down.

How do I get interrogation footage

I’m doing a project on huwe burton a man who falsely confessed to the murder of his mother and I thought this might be the best place to ask.

Grant Amato, Joel Guy Jr, and Chandler Halderson

The release of this video seems like a good opportunity to discuss some similarities between the Grant Amato case and two other high profile cases, Joel Guy Jr and Chandler Halderson, which have stuck with me for quite some time. I want to make it clear that I'm not victim blaming in any way, but just trying to understand their motive.

Does anyone feel like coddling/enabling might have played a role? From what I understand, all three cases were committed by young men who had no history of violence and lived entirely off their parents' money. All three murders happened almost immediately after the perpetrators learned they were about to be cut off financially and forced to live on their own. They also had notably doting mothers who struggled to set firm boundaries with them and coddled them well into adulthood. Grant's mom gave in and let him use her phone to continue talking to the cam girl, even after sending him to rehab for the very same addiction and despite his father strictly forbidding it. Joel Guy Jr's mother sent him all her paychecks to live off of, despite him being an awkward, rude prick and having no real direction. Chandler Halderson's own brother, Mitchell, described their mother as a clingy helicopter parent, and it was odd to learn that at age 23, Chandler was still sent to his room as punishment, grounded, and given chores to do around the house. I'm no psychologist so this is just speculation, but in trying to understand why these men would murder their own family- their only source of support, love, and money- I've wondered if there's some resentment and rage built up in them from feeling coddled and possibly emasculated. Joel Guy Jr in particular is disturbing in just how brutally he mutilated and disrespected his mother's corpse. That act goes beyond hate to one of deep resentment and disgust. But why would someone feel this way towards the person who took care of them their life? Of course none of us can ever know what their family dynamic was like so there's a lot we'll never know. Regardless, there's zero justification for what they did and it's completely gut-wrenching that these parents met the gruesome fate they did at the hands of their own children who they loved unconditionally. I'm simply trying to understand what led them to snap. Very curious to hear people's thoughts.

Yeardley's Ex-Boyfriend

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGuEdN-ju2g

I have a quick question for you guys. Do you believe 23 years, serving 18, is a sufficient amount of time? Is it too small?

The reason I ask is because intent matters in a homocide case. There was clear intent to hurt Yeardly but was he meaning to murder her. This seemed rash and not planned out, which could result in a lower sentence but at the same time, you have to consider the victim here. Yeardly was robbed of life, she was young and surely would have had a great future.

What do you guys think?

Watched JCS Ted Bundy video. One of the best analysis’s I have seen. Creeped me out the entire time. I do have a thought though.

So pretty much the premise of the video was that Bundy was not a psychopath or a sociopath because that would mean that he would have no sense of empathy and in order for him to get such pleasure out of his sexual sadism he needed to be able to feel empathy. Jim said that Bundy was “a malignant narcissist” which is defined as, “A psychological syndrome comprising an extreme mix of narcissism, antisocial behavior, aggression, and sadism”

It is actually amazing Bundy was able to be so successful in other aspects of his life while doing what he did. My question is, why did Bundy take such high risks by murdering women and girls around colleges and public places? Why didn’t he just focus on sex workers? I would think that at that time there would have been way less of a risk to get caught and clearly he REALLY didn’t want to be caught. I don’t understand how he could be so calculating in some ways and in other ways make these super impulsive decisions. Bundy scares the shit out of me.

Any update Michael Dunn?

Michael Dunn has the most Intriguing interrogation ever , for the murder of 17 year old Jordan Davis (IMO).

Im not going to get into details why I think this, but I was just wondering is there any update on him?

Him ever getting out of prison is slime to none, but any updated pics of him? Or recent prison transfers or anything??

Do you guys think his girlfriend (at the time) still visits him or call hims in prison? Im pretty sure his son does both.

His case has always been intriguing, so I would love to have any knowledge on what his prison life is like.

I wonder how the Casey Anthony interrogation would have gone if they got a female investigator in there with her.

It would have been interesting to see if she changes how she tries to deceive or if she shuts down like Jodi Aries
