I’m so jealous of anyone who just found this channel and can go binge every video for the first time I swear it’s saved me the last few years

Anything that started as a salacious love affair can end up horribly.

To have him pay for it himself is just so messed up to me.

John, I watched your entire interview with The Why Files. Never viewed his channel before. I come away with a completely different point of view on you and your circumstances after watching this interview. All of your subscribers/followers should watch the interview. He really drew you out and you did not hesitate to respond with honesty and clarity to anything that he threw at you. Wow! One thing that really stood out for me was the discussion about how we as followers of content on social media platforms do not care about the individuals who post the content that we follow. It is sad to know that you and others in your position feel this way. I am certain that there are individuals out there that are inconsiderate and limited in their attention span that do feel this way. However I feel that you have many loyal and devoted followers here on YouTube, such as myself ,that do appreciate your content and undersfand that you are not a machine but a human being that has ups and downs, as do we. I read many of the comments on the channels that I subscribe to. And certainly more so on my favorite channels, such as your channel. Many of us have been with you on YouTube since 2020. We're still here with you, through the good times and bad. You are a real individual to many of us. Your honesty and sense of humor and respect and kindness for your subscribers are a part of what keeps us coming back, along with the stories. Hopefully this rings true to you and your team and helps you to view us in a different light. Thank you and your family for the time and sacrifices you have made for us all. Take care, knowing that we DO CARE.❤

The thing that always kills me is the entitlement. She thinks she is "owed" his money. Over and over again, the killer always thinks they are owed something. What is wrong with these people?

Moral of the story, turn up the heat when your lady is cold

00:15 nothing about that clothing choice would faze a Canadian. All of us know at least one guy who wears cargo shorts year round.

paying the killer with his money is so messed up

I live an hour from Kapuskasing. I was ten years old when this happened. The trial was in our town, as we have the main courthouse for the district. My mother and aunt and uncle were there as spectators every day. I remember hearing them discuss it daily. Thanks for covering this one John! ❤✌🏻🇨🇦

Okay so she steals her sister's significant other (husband?) then decides she doesn't like how cheap he is, so she kills him? Girl, make up your mind!

Storytelling is becoming a lost art. Thank u Mr. B for keeping it alive ❤

For five years, this has been an inseparable part of my life. Good luck in all your endeavors, MrB Allen

Nothing says 'wholesome afternoon' quite like sitting down with a cup of coffee to listen to MrBallen describe a brutal, cold-blooded crime scene in vivid detail

@Kaprick76 1 month ago (edited)

I'm from the town of Kapuskasing where this happened. It's a town of about 8000 people. My father worked with Agathe

Watching tv with the lights off is an outlandish complaint

Damn John- 11.2 million subscribers!!! You and your team deserve every one of them. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Posting in hopes of you seeing. There’s a channel called “Mr. Hollen” who’s blatantly stealing your content. No idea if you care or not, just want to bring it to your attention. Keep up the great work as always!
