  1. 0:00all right good morning everybody and
  2. 0:03welcome back to true crime loser how you
  3. 0:06doing I hope you're doing well
  4. 0:08I really do all right I'm not gonna
  5. 0:11waste any time we're gonna get into this
  6. 0:12so this is part three of my Steven
  7. 0:15McDaniels coverage the troll head
  8. 0:18himself today I wanted to talk about his
  9. 0:23crazy interview that he did and kind of
  10. 0:26just talk about when killers do
  11. 0:28interviews in general TV interviews and
  12. 0:33I was thinking about I think there's two
  13. 0:36types of people that do interviews after
  14. 0:41they commit murder the first type is
  15. 0:44they're just appearing to be they're
  16. 0:46trying to appear to be innocent
  17. 0:48so they commit the murder and then right
  18. 0:50after the murder they're forced to start
  19. 0:54doing the I'm innocent little monkey
  20. 0:56dance so in their head they're
  21. 0:57constantly filtering every decision with
  22. 1:01how would an innocent person look and as
  23. 1:05we know it's real hard to do the I'm
  24. 1:07innocent monkey dance and not look
  25. 1:09stupid and to be doing that dance and
  26. 1:16having a news crew point a giant camera
  27. 1:19and zoom in in your face is just makes
  28. 1:23for unbelievably crazy clips so like I
  29. 1:27said first type of person they just want
  30. 1:30to appear innocent you know that's like
  31. 1:32the Chris Watts up there going like like
  32. 1:36if someone has them and they're not safe
  33. 1:39I just want everybody to come home I
  34. 1:44just want everybody to be safe you know
  35. 1:46he's up there and usually what happens
  36. 1:49to in these interviews is you end up
  37. 1:51doing way to you end up trying to push
  38. 1:55the narrative that you're going with way
  39. 1:57too much so in the McDaniels one he's
  40. 1:59doing a lot of like I mean no one's seen
  41. 2:03her hiyee I haven't seen her since
  42. 2:06Saturday I mean you know he's doing this
  43. 2:08like I mean just acting weird
  44. 2:12and the first type of people that are
  45. 2:16just trying to appear innocent and
  46. 2:17trying to get away with it they probably
  47. 2:20don't want to do the interview but in
  48. 2:22their head they're just thinking this
  49. 2:25you know I'm trying to appear innocent
  50. 2:27an innocent person would do this
  51. 2:29interview so therefore I'm going to do
  52. 2:31it so again I think Chris looks like he
  53. 2:34just does not want to be there just
  54. 2:36going like like I just want everybody to
  55. 2:40be safe and then the second type are the
  56. 2:47people that want to appear innocent but
  57. 2:48also they're trying to insert themselves
  58. 2:51into the narrative as to be a part of
  59. 2:55their creation I think a lot of the
  60. 2:57murderers like serial killers and stuff
  61. 2:59they they look at it is they're like
  62. 3:02painting a picture of this murder you
  63. 3:05know it's their creation and they I
  64. 3:07think almost can't help themselves
  65. 3:09by not wanting to be a part of the
  66. 3:15official story I think anything that
  67. 3:16gets into press like if Steven got away
  68. 3:19with this murder I think he ki would
  69. 3:20have sat there for the rest of his day
  70. 3:23you know looking at that clip of him
  71. 3:25being like oh no one's seen her since
  72. 3:31Saturday and just being like hey I got
  73. 3:35away with it and again he's pushing the
  74. 3:40narrative also he's really pushing the
  75. 3:42narrative that him and Lauren were
  76. 3:44friends a lot of this like yeah we you
  77. 3:47know her friend group work we don't know
  78. 3:50where she is you know we've been looking
  79. 3:52around and he even starts talking about
  80. 3:54her family and how he met her family and
  81. 3:57it's like Jesus Stephen Stephen come on
  82. 4:00Stephen I think Stephen was living out
  83. 4:08this crazy sex murder killer fantasy and
  84. 4:15like I said just couldn't help himself
  85. 4:17seeing a news crew down there and just
  86. 4:19be like I need to be you know a part of
  87. 4:22this official
  88. 4:24huh it's kind of like when killer send
  89. 4:27like a puzzle to the newspaper or
  90. 4:30something or try to get something
  91. 4:31publish like send Clues in or something
  92. 4:33I think they just want to be a part of
  93. 4:36their what they call their creation like
  94. 4:41I just want everyone to be safe okay so
  95. 4:45why it's insane to do an interview if
  96. 4:49you committed murder and it's very
  97. 4:52simple because your face and your body
  98. 4:54do strange things when you're pretending
  99. 4:57to do the monkey dance of being innocent
  100. 5:00like if you watch Chris if you watch the
  101. 5:03Chris Watts one there's times where you
  102. 5:05like closes his eyes
  103. 5:07weirdly for a while the point is is if
  104. 5:11you're gonna lie that you didn't if
  105. 5:13you're gonna lie and try to convince
  106. 5:14everyone you didn't commit murder it's
  107. 5:17probably a good idea not to let someone
  108. 5:20with a big camera zoom in and tape your
  109. 5:23face all right I think people like Chris
  110. 5:29that lie all the time
  111. 5:30think they're so good at it but in
  112. 5:33reality people that lie all the time
  113. 5:34they think they're like getting it past
  114. 5:36everyone and most of the time everyone
  115. 5:38just knows you're a liar but they don't
  116. 5:40care enough to call you out on it it's
  117. 5:44just like oh all right yeah whatever you
  118. 5:47say but but and they're not like looking
  119. 5:53usually so say like if chris watts and i
  120. 5:56are friends and he's sitting there lying
  121. 5:58to me you know when i'm not making eye
  122. 5:59contact with him the whole lie you know
  123. 6:02looking at his face I'm just like oh
  124. 6:05he's lying okay I look down I look over
  125. 6:07here okay yeah no problem man Thanks and
  126. 6:10that's the end of it but with a camera
  127. 6:14zooming in on your face it's just your
  128. 6:17face and it's being taped for eternity
  129. 6:19and you're up there like I just want
  130. 6:21them to be safe and you know Stephens up
  131. 6:25there I don't know we'll get into it
  132. 6:27just go hunt who could do something like
  133. 6:31this stay even cried too we'll get to it
  134. 6:36I'm getting there
  135. 6:38I saw singing even the best actors
  136. 6:44probably wouldn't nail a realistic
  137. 6:49interview after they just killed someone
  138. 6:52and you know actors rehearse for hours
  139. 6:56if an if Meryl Streep was doing a scene
  140. 6:58where she was crying about somebody that
  141. 7:03had been taken from her life she would
  142. 7:09rehearse for a long time and also
  143. 7:12probably not nail it on the first take
  144. 7:15and also probably not nail it while in
  145. 7:20their head trying to get away with
  146. 7:22murder I mean it the stakes are never
  147. 7:25hire for this acting you know live on
  148. 7:28camera their life's on the line they're
  149. 7:31playing for keeps and to get up there
  150. 7:34and to think you're just gonna nail a
  151. 7:35perfect take while some news person
  152. 7:38while not having any experience acting
  153. 7:40is just it shows you how delusional
  154. 7:45these killers are that they just think
  155. 7:48they're smart and they think how good of
  156. 7:50Liars they are and really it's just a
  157. 7:52troll head and a monkey boys sitting
  158. 7:54there going no one's seen them doing
  159. 7:57weird face stuff okay then the second
  160. 8:02reason other than just to appear
  161. 8:10innocent or to put themselves into the
  162. 8:12story to do one of these interviews is
  163. 8:16they attempt to get their narrative in
  164. 8:19so Chris Watts was rambling about how
  165. 8:22she could have left or how you know how
  166. 8:24she went on a play day and he doesn't
  167. 8:26know where she is
  168. 8:27and Stephen died even his narrative that
  169. 8:32he was pushing was that over and over
  170. 8:37again that maybe she went running and
  171. 8:39someone snatched her you know she runs a
  172. 8:41lot and no one's seen her so he was
  173. 8:45really pushing the she was running and
  174. 8:49someone snatched her but both Chris
  175. 8:51Stephen push it way too hard you end up
  176. 8:56just saying too much that's really you
  177. 8:58end up saying too much and doing like
  178. 9:00weird stuff with your hand like Stephen
  179. 9:02will kept pointing back every time he
  180. 9:05lied it and it's like what is back there
  181. 9:07no nothing you know he's like yeah we
  182. 9:09were both lost dude and so we can't find
  183. 9:11her and she went running and you know
  184. 9:15the whole time the people shoot in the
  185. 9:17news are just like yeah so this guy has
  186. 9:23troll hair yeah so they're trying to
  187. 9:31push the narrative that is not them
  188. 9:35murdering the people and usually end up
  189. 9:40looking like an idiot okay so let's get
  190. 9:44into Stephens actual actual interview so
  191. 9:52he starts by saying no one's seen her
  192. 9:55about 45 times okay
  193. 9:58one how do you know that no one's seen
  194. 10:01her Stephen you haven't seen her but
  195. 10:04maybe someone else is sceners diving any
  196. 10:09you know rambles about how good of a
  197. 10:12person she was and how personable she is
  198. 10:15I was funny he's it's like Stephen
  199. 10:21they're gonna talk to her friends
  200. 10:23they're gonna talk to her her real
  201. 10:25friends and they're gonna say that she
  202. 10:28wasn't friends with Stephen they're
  203. 10:31gonna say no one was really friends with
  204. 10:32Stephen but he's up there being like she
  205. 10:35was as nice as can be so lots of
  206. 10:39rambling that no one's seen her and the
  207. 10:47news people are like was there anyone
  208. 10:49does she have any Eman and enemies or
  209. 10:52does anyone want to hurt her and
  210. 10:55Stephens like I mean we don't know where
  211. 11:00she is
  212. 11:00that was his answer to is there someone
  213. 11:03that would want to hurt her and he
  214. 11:05in there just with a troll head going no
  215. 11:10one has seen her I mean I haven't seen
  216. 11:14her I mean she went running and maybe
  217. 11:18someone snatched her
  218. 11:20he uses the word snatched like six times
  219. 11:27okay and then he really hammers home the
  220. 11:33things that he has going for him in the
  221. 11:34case so we really hammers home he's like
  222. 11:37yeah I mean her friends came over and
  223. 11:40had a key so had a key that's where they
  224. 11:45got in they had a key his friends came
  225. 11:48over and had a key so there's no forced
  226. 11:50entry I think he even says that which I
  227. 11:52guess kind of makes sense because he's a
  228. 11:53lawyer so everyone's gonna think he's
  229. 11:55kind of trying to be a lawyer but and
  230. 11:58then he goes out of his way to say the
  231. 12:00door was locked when everyone got here
  232. 12:03being like whoever whatever happens the
  233. 12:06door was locked so there was no struggle
  234. 12:08no forced entry and the door was locked
  235. 12:11and then we get to the infamous part
  236. 12:16where the news lady goes you know did
  237. 12:19you hear up that they found like a body
  238. 12:23and stive in goes body
  239. 12:33I think I need to sit down and he goes
  240. 12:37over and plops down and I think a lot of
  241. 12:40people are gonna disagree with me a lot
  242. 12:42on this a lot of people think that the
  243. 12:44body and that the whole thing of going
  244. 12:48to sit down is genuine I've watched it a
  245. 12:52bunch of times and I don't think that
  246. 12:55it's genuine I think that that's his bad
  247. 12:57acting I can spot bad acting a mile away
  248. 13:02okay I did a I did I did a pilot for MTV
  249. 13:08okay I worked with MTV I know bad acting
  250. 13:12all right and it's almost like you know
  251. 13:18when one of those movies is so bad
  252. 13:22it turns awesome it's like troll two is
  253. 13:25one and then whatever the movie that the
  254. 13:27disaster artist is about that's the type
  255. 13:30of acting as it looks like like in the
  256. 13:31movie where the killer finds the body
  257. 13:34and the body can't you picture just like
  258. 13:37a whole movie theater of like a cult bad
  259. 13:41b-movie and the star goes body and
  260. 13:44everyone cheers favorite part here's why
  261. 13:49I don't think it was real cuz if
  262. 13:50anyone's not surprised that there's a
  263. 13:52body in the trash it's Steven just Ivan
  264. 13:56put the body there and sorry I got a
  265. 14:03text and so I you know he of course he's
  266. 14:09not he's gonna be the least surprised
  267. 14:11that there's a body in the trash because
  268. 14:13he just put a body in the trash and I
  269. 14:16mean I'm sure he's real bummed that they
  270. 14:18didn't find it but I think that I don't
  271. 14:22think that that news wouldn't make him
  272. 14:24actually need to sit down I mean he just
  273. 14:28dismembered a body with a saw in a
  274. 14:32bathtub a few days before so someone
  275. 14:35that can pull that off doesn't need to
  276. 14:37sit down when they hear that there's a
  277. 14:39body I think that he launched into
  278. 14:43pretending I'm innocent that was his
  279. 14:46little monkey dance
  280. 14:47could be
  281. 14:47wrong I'm just a dude on YouTube you
  282. 14:50know but I really think that that's his
  283. 14:53body just his bad acting and then is
  284. 14:59where the this is where the interview
  285. 15:01just goes into crazy land
  286. 15:05it's just crazy after that whole body
  287. 15:09and then having to go sit down and after
  288. 15:11everything that he said already and he's
  289. 15:14already set I mean like 40 times he
  290. 15:17comes back he comes back and he starts a
  291. 15:23lie cry
  292. 15:26we got a lie cry people official lie cry
  293. 15:29I didn't know how long it would take to
  294. 15:32stumble in to another one but if you
  295. 15:34haven't been following the channel what
  296. 15:36a lie cry is it's where you're lying but
  297. 15:39also you're crying the cry lie was it a
  298. 15:42cry lie or a lie crack doesn't matter
  299. 15:44you're crying
  300. 15:46but also you're lying it's not a good
  301. 15:49place to be in it really isn't
  302. 15:51if if you find yourself like crying it's
  303. 15:55probably time to just take a deep breath
  304. 15:58and just start apologizing to everyone
  305. 16:01around you and just face the music it's
  306. 16:04not a good place to be in but we got a
  307. 16:07lie cry and so it's just nuts that he
  308. 16:10comes back and is crying and going who
  309. 16:15do this maybe if I heard something I
  310. 16:19could have a helped it's like Steven why
  311. 16:26are you crying
  312. 16:27that's why I wanted to be the whole
  313. 16:29that's why I wanted to say the whole
  314. 16:31time is diving diving the [ __ ] are you
  315. 16:35crying for listen I've had a look I like
  316. 16:39my neighbours all water their plants all
  317. 16:42pet their cat and feed their dog while
  318. 16:45they're gone I'll check their place you
  319. 16:48know but if my neighbors died I'd just
  320. 16:51be like man that sucks you know dang
  321. 16:56that is rough I hope they went down
  322. 16:58fighting you know I I wouldn't cry
  323. 17:01and he sit there going who it is
  324. 17:05and it's again the cops they're gonna
  325. 17:06talk to her friends and they're gonna be
  326. 17:08like Stephen didn't really ever hang out
  327. 17:12with her well why is he crying maybe I
  328. 17:20could have helped it's just like what
  329. 17:24are you doing Stephen go in your
  330. 17:26apartment and figure out how you're
  331. 17:28gonna get rid of the key to her
  332. 17:30apartment and her underwear sitting
  333. 17:34there cly crying this might be - I heard
  334. 17:37that
  335. 17:38what part of this interview was live so
  336. 17:40people this is big this is a possible
  337. 17:43live cry lie I don't know if that has
  338. 17:49ever been done before just a live cry
  339. 17:51lie anyway bah bah bah yeah he's the
  340. 17:59nicest person that there is and he
  341. 18:04rambles on all the hot the most cringe
  342. 18:06part of the whole interview he starts
  343. 18:07rambling on about her family like how we
  344. 18:13met him once and just what a creep job
  345. 18:19you know why would anyone do this maybe
  346. 18:24if I heard something that could have
  347. 18:25helped said that a bunch of times maybe
  348. 18:30it sounded like yeah he just was trying
  349. 18:32to make it sound like they're best
  350. 18:34friends like you know a lot of we and
  351. 18:36I'm in her friend group and I was
  352. 18:42thinking before I even watch the
  353. 18:45interview last night is I don't know
  354. 18:52after doing Russell Williams and now him
  355. 18:55I think if you're a female and you live
  356. 18:57alone you got to get yourself a dog you
  357. 19:01know get yourself a 50 pound you know 50
  358. 19:0460 pound dog that's gonna bark if it
  359. 19:06hears a noise and you're good it's worth
  360. 19:11it you know that's what we that's what
  361. 19:13us humans have used
  362. 19:14for for hundreds and hundreds of years
  363. 19:19of just like alright Fido we're going to
  364. 19:23bed so if you if a bear comes or if
  365. 19:26something scary comes out of the woods
  366. 19:28you bark like hell and let us know and
  367. 19:30we'll come out with you know we'll come
  368. 19:32out with weapons and save the day but
  369. 19:34your job is to let us know and the dogs
  370. 19:36like yeah yeah they love it I can't help
  371. 19:41but think if Steven started coming
  372. 19:44through that door and a in a fifty pound
  373. 19:46dog barked a few times I think the door
  374. 19:48would have just closed and locked and he
  375. 19:50would have been out of there and staying
  376. 19:51with same with Russell you know and then
  377. 19:55so I'm thinking about that just be like
  378. 19:58god I'm getting my daughter if I ever
  379. 20:00had one a dog and get it get it like if
  380. 20:02you don't feel like raising a puppy get
  381. 20:04a seventy five to seven-year-old dog
  382. 20:06they'll be totally trained all they want
  383. 20:09to do is sit there and just guard you
  384. 20:11basically so I was thinking about that
  385. 20:15and then I started watching the
  386. 20:16interview and he actually tells a story
  387. 20:19about how Lauren had a dog and it got
  388. 20:21hit by a car and I was like damn so he
  389. 20:27even knew that she she even knew that
  390. 20:29she wouldn't have had a dog that was
  391. 20:31gonna bark that's like living next to a
  392. 20:35troll face for that long it's just
  393. 20:39nothing good is gonna happen from that
  394. 20:46okay where am I
  395. 20:48oh yeah he tried to insert her boyfriend
  396. 20:51they were like do they have a boyfriend
  397. 20:52and he's like he's like crying like and
  398. 20:55then he immediately stops crying was
  399. 20:57like yeah she has a boyfriend in Atlanta
  400. 20:59and we're trying to talk see if he's
  401. 21:01seen her she's trying to you know get
  402. 21:04everybody looking everywhere else I
  403. 21:07mentioned she thought oh yeah you know
  404. 21:11just a terrifying part that to me shows
  405. 21:16that this wasn't just to appear to be
  406. 21:18innocent that he wanted he wanted to you
  407. 21:24know get over on all of us and to be
  408. 21:26like I did the interview he
  409. 21:28like rambling and cry lying about how
  410. 21:32somewhat she has she had told her
  411. 21:34friends that she had thought that
  412. 21:35someone had been in her apartment which
  413. 21:37it's obvious least Ivan and he's like
  414. 21:42like I wish I would have lend her a
  415. 21:44handgun that I have for protection it's
  416. 21:48like the only person the only troll hair
  417. 21:50that she needs protection from is you
  418. 21:53so put your gun down and just keep your
  419. 21:57hands to yourself porn boy and then he
  420. 22:03has this line that's like if she's
  421. 22:04scared in her apartment then get her out
  422. 22:06of the apartment and it's like yeah yes
  423. 22:09Steven that's what we all wish would
  424. 22:11have happened and then I had forgotten
  425. 22:15this until I watched the interview but
  426. 22:21this he killed her the lap the day
  427. 22:23before she was gonna move out
  428. 22:25so I think that supports my theory that
  429. 22:31he didn't want to lose her and he didn't
  430. 22:33want anyone else to have her and he
  431. 22:35wanted kind of their stories to be
  432. 22:37married for the rest of time and this
  433. 22:40was the only way to do it and I think he
  434. 22:42freaked out and was living this crazy
  435. 22:43murderer lawyer I'm gonna get away with
  436. 22:49the perfect murder fantasy and it's just
  437. 22:54it's just tough to do that yes that's
  438. 23:00all I got that interview is just crazy
  439. 23:04it's just I can't imagine I can't even
  440. 23:07believe that it exists him crying and
  441. 23:11saying that if he heard something he
  442. 23:13could have held it's just mind-blowing
  443. 23:15that he did it one last thing that I
  444. 23:18wanted to talk about in this video
  445. 23:20someone had left a comment or there's
  446. 23:22been a couple comments saying that the
  447. 23:27way that he dismembered the body with
  448. 23:29the saw is gonna leave so much blood
  449. 23:31splatter and so much just material
  450. 23:35that's going to be impossible to clean
  451. 23:37up that that alone is going to be almost
  452. 23:41impossible
  453. 23:42to get you know to get away with the
  454. 23:45murder and that was one of the most you
  455. 23:48know they're looking around her
  456. 23:49apartment that there's no forced entry
  457. 23:50and no anything they haven't found her
  458. 23:52body yet so they're like I don't know is
  459. 23:54this even a crime and then it was
  460. 23:57finally seeing the bathtub where it just
  461. 24:00looks like a blood bath where they are
  462. 24:04like all right you know something grisly
  463. 24:06happened but it reminded me someone was
  464. 24:08like you know how would you dismember a
  465. 24:10body like that and think you're gonna
  466. 24:13get away with it I reminded me of a case
  467. 24:15in 2000 I think my UK people will
  468. 24:19remember this case it's Lucy Blackmon
  469. 24:23who was a pretty blond woman with long
  470. 24:28blonde hair was having money trouble in
  471. 24:32the UK and she learned that you could go
  472. 24:38if you're a pretty blond girl you can go
  473. 24:41to Japan and make a bunch of money being
  474. 24:43a hostess so it's not like a prostitute
  475. 24:46but you work in a hostess club and rich
  476. 24:50Japanese men pay to sort of just hang
  477. 24:54out with you to flirt with you and you
  478. 24:58know I'm not gonna get into it but Lucy
  479. 25:01ends up dead and the same thing is this
  480. 25:03crazy rich Japanese guy cuts her up with
  481. 25:08the same type of saw right dismembers
  482. 25:11are with the same type of saw and in
  483. 25:14Japan they have very little violent
  484. 25:17crime and the crime that they do have
  485. 25:20it's just part of the culture that the
  486. 25:21person admits it immediately there it's
  487. 25:24just no one it's not like America where
  488. 25:29everybody tries to weasel out of it and
  489. 25:32there's a lot of cunning you know it's
  490. 25:34just like everybody admits it so the
  491. 25:36Japanese police were not ready for a
  492. 25:38cunning rich murderer that wasn't going
  493. 25:42to admit to it and so this just turns
  494. 25:44into the whole trial and everything
  495. 25:45turns into this giant fiasco right
  496. 25:49and the defense team he's arguing that
  497. 25:54there's no way that you could dismember
  498. 25:57a body in an apartment and not have any
  499. 26:03blood and splatter or anything because
  500. 26:05they're the prosecution's arguing that
  501. 26:07he cut her up in her in his apartment
  502. 26:09but there's no splatter or anything and
  503. 26:13what's crazy is the prosecution figured
  504. 26:17out that he had bought in a bunch of
  505. 26:19camping supplies like a few days prior
  506. 26:23to when they think that he dismembered
  507. 26:27the body so the prosecution team went
  508. 26:30and bought the same tent that he bought
  509. 26:32and they bought a dead pig just this is
  510. 26:37crazy and they filled the dead pig
  511. 26:39because a dead pig like they take all
  512. 26:40the fluids out they fill the dead pig
  513. 26:43with water with red food coloring or
  514. 26:46something red and they bring it into the
  515. 26:50tent zip up the tent
  516. 26:51dismiss the [ __ ] lawyers dismember
  517. 26:54this pig inside the tent and prove that
  518. 26:57it's possible to cut to dismember a body
  519. 27:00inside a tent and not have the blood get
  520. 27:03out into the apartment isn't that crazy
  521. 27:05there's a whole book about it I'll
  522. 27:07probably do a video on this story
  523. 27:11there's a book about it a really long
  524. 27:13like if you can get past the really dry
  525. 27:15first chunk it's a really good book but
  526. 27:17it's called the people who eat darkness
  527. 27:20and it's just about this insane Lucy
  528. 27:22Blackmon case if you're from UK and you
  529. 27:25actually remember that case let me know
  530. 27:27I would be very interested but anyway
  531. 27:30that wraps up the video for today with
  532. 27:34Stephen thanks for subscribing everybody
  533. 27:36I love you all
