you
0:08
heard wait there's a ladder there loose go back this way a little bit I
0:15
need to my you w't get caught us there's a camera there [ __ ] run he's coming it
0:22
was in the final hour of May the 29th 2021 that a YouTuber named displ was out
0:28
on an adventure with one of his friends you see Lewis was the kind of guy who loved a bit of adrenaline and being in
0:34
the spotlight while doing it however he didn't like to make these sorts of videos alone so when he received a
0:41
request from one of his fans to join him on these Adventures well let's just say it didn't end well for either of them
0:47
quite honestly this story is absolutely wild and has so many twists and turns and is only one of three today and so on
0:54
that note welcome or welcome back to Coffee House crime folks my name is Adrien and today we're looking at three
1:00
stories involving YouTubers Tik tokers and influencers and while some of those are actually victims there are others
1:06
that are guilty before we begin if you like True Crime strange or chilling stories then please do consider
1:12
subscribing and stick around until the end of the video to tell me what we think about this format and now with that said please grab yourself a coffee
1:19
and let's caffeinate while we investigate
CASE 1
1:30
it was shortly after 11:30 p.m. on May the 29th 2021 that 18-year-old YouTuber
1:36
Mark Williams was on his way home from marsfield a small village found deep in the countryside of England now having a
1:43
few friends who actually live near marfield and arfield I can vouch by saying that although it is beautiful
1:48
there is barely anything to do around there it was on this night that Mark agreed to go out drinking with one of
1:53
his friends Lewis and although they hadd only been friends for a short while this had become quite the regular thing after
2:00
agreeing to meet in the nearby Woods for a drink or a few Mark then called his Aunt Emma to let her know that he was
2:05
now on his way back home now Mark did sound quite drunk which was actually out of the ordinary for him but nevertheless
2:12
he was now on his way back home and hopefully would be safe soon being with his friend Lewis told Emma not to worry
2:18
about her nephew and that he would make sure that he would get back home in one piece it had been a long day for Mark
2:23
after all and these drinks were sure to Tire him out so I'm sure that he was looking forward to getting back home and
2:28
into his bed but the problem is Mark would never actually make it back in
2:34
fact neither would Lewis growing up in the neighboring town of arfield Mark was your typical teenage boy he loved gaming
2:41
and Call of Duty tolerated school and had somewhat of a rebellious side too
2:47
now Mark and his brother both loved their parents but with their aunt Emma living nearby they would often stay with
2:53
her on the weekends it is worth saying that uckfield is not one of those places where something new happens every week
2:59
you don't have access to malls and social clubs or anything like that and so many teenagers find themselves bored
3:06
out of their minds of course Mark was no different and in order to replace the mundane evenings and weekends he would
3:12
often lean on inspiration from some of the YouTubers that he used to watch in the herck space for those of you who
3:18
don't know what herex or Urban exploration is it is a term that is often used to describe visiting
3:24
abandoned or prohibited places admittedly dabbling in this hobby myself when I was younger herck is a great way
3:31
of experiencing Lial or decaying spaces adrenaline that you seldom find as a
3:36
teenager it was after learning about herck that Mark and his brother decided to create their first YouTube channel
3:42
together which they initially called rooftop Legends this was where they began uploading their own herck or
3:49
Parkour videos often with a Twist which sadly would involve escaping from security guards and even the police in
3:56
these videos you can see them breaking into construction s sites public buildings and even football stadiums and
4:03
while many of these videos were eventually taken down for quite obvious reasons some of their earlier content
4:09
from as far back as May of 2018 can still be found from an outside perspective what they were doing did
4:16
have apparent risks I mean you don't simply walk all over Rusty barbed wire without potentially catching tetanus and
4:23
that aside what they were doing was not really acceptable and the behavior that they exhibited was leaning on the
4:30
antisocial side of things however the leading concern for officers here was not over theft or damage but simply for
4:38
Mark's well-being by the year 2019 Mark's brother had decided to leave bck behind for good and instead focus on
4:45
more constructive things going on in his life you see he wanted to become a police officer so this was not really
4:51
the best look for it but his older brother Mark was not finished with the idea yet and so instead he took the
4:58
opportunity to brand and then relaunch under a brand new name and so displace
5:04
was born displace or displace 3469 was likely his own way of starting fresh and
5:11
throughout the year of 2020 he continued to upload videos now under the new parkour or free running space but
5:18
throughout this year which of course included Co he would start posting less frequently and although there were
5:24
initially no other clear explanations as to why he stopped posting so often he would use his time in the spotlight to
5:30
talk about his own experiences with rerunning and also why he enjoyed doing it so much it was on November the 1st of
5:37
2020 when Mark finally gave an update posting a video titled displac is
5:43
returning to his YouTube channel it was in this video that he explained that he was trying to follow in his younger
5:49
brother's footsteps and had been attempting to become a police Community Support Officer ever since leaving
5:56
school kidding me lag but you know that's normal anyway um the update is
6:03
I've been doing some talking with Lewis he's seeming like he wants to get back into climbing and stuff I haven't
6:08
actually done it since Christmas I am not sure where my channel is going to go I don't know if I'm going to keep doing
6:13
these videos I don't know if I'm going to be doing different videos or whether I'm going to stop completely at this point in time I don't know I've been
6:20
training to get my Sia license over the past couple of weeks and I can't really risk that but I'm not sure at the moment
6:27
I need to talk with Louis some more work something out you know I can keep doing this I mean Ali law still does it he's
6:32
in his 20s he's doing good for himself you know good good for him but I'm hardly an athlete I'm
6:40
hardly a pro at this kind of thing now although it is unclear why he was
6:45
ultimately rejected I do have the sneaky feeling that maybe it was because the police officers who were ultimately
6:52
responsible for recruiting him decided it wasn't a good idea to hire someone who you know recently broke into several
6:59
places I mean it kind of feels like that's the exact opposite of what they're looking for right either way he
7:05
then goes on to say in this video that he's now ready to come back to YouTube with a new phone a better camera and a
7:10
bigger ambition than ever before it also appears that Mark was weighing up the idea of possibly making a living just
7:16
simply by making videos on YouTube which is great and usually I'd say all the more power to you but is being a mild
7:23
nuisance and breaking into properties really what you'd like to be known for all right guys don't know if you can see
7:29
me or not but I promise you this place is coming back I'm getting a new action
7:34
cam I'm getting a new action cam and uh I'm going to hit some serious videos not
7:40
lot of [ __ ] ones I used to do before I mean proper ones I'm just getting myself back in shape
7:47
again especially during the night as well no one can see me up here only 2 weeks later on November the 14th 2020
7:55
Mark decided to introduce a new teammate to his YouTube channel that being a young man named Lewis Ashdown so what
8:03
can I say about LS well he was a new friend of Mark originally a fan who
8:09
simply watched his videos on his YouTube channel he wanted to get involved with the herck and so Mark who quite clearly
8:16
was quite Lonely at the time jumped at the opportunity to have someone to make content with you see it is quite obvious
8:23
through his live streams that Mark was still upset with his brother for ditching him and the channel and well of
8:30
course he missed the company in fact he missed company in general because Mark was a very lonely person he wanted
8:37
friends and well Lewis he was there to fill that void compatibility aside it
8:43
was quite evident that Mark still had some work to do in establishing boundaries between him and his supposed
8:50
friends you see loneliness caused him to let the wrong kind of people into his life which sadly is something that we
8:57
all need to learn how to filter but Lewis well at least at the time he seemed like a trustworthy person so why
9:04
not things like that take a long time to conclude and although their schools and
9:10
friend groups never seemed to overlap he wasn't an unfamiliar name either much
9:15
like Mark Lewis left school after college to do his own thing and in the same way that Mark intended to be a
9:21
community support police officer LS was also trying to find his own way in life by becoming a chef over the next few
9:28
videos mark would host Lewis as the two of them would explore several areas together including water treatment
9:34
facilities Town rooftops hotels and construction sites throughout this time
9:39
frame you can tell that Mark did actually have doubts about his own channel he seemed to be upset about
9:45
consistently getting caught and he also seemed to have aspirations to move out and live with his girlfriend I've got my
9:52
life to get in order um me and my special someone are um
10:00
going to try and start a life together it's going to be a bit hard you
10:05
know I've I've got all money and really I need to get my hands on 100
10:12
Grand and there's no way I can I can do that very
10:18
easily I'm I'm not certain about this Channel's future I really hope this is not another episode where my channel
10:25
disappears and then maybe I'll start a new one up in a a few months time I really hope it's not like that I'm I'm
10:32
going to do my best I'm really sorry guys I'm a mess this this country is a
10:38
mess it was it was it was a stretch just for me and my brother to get down to respawn Louis was supposed to be coming
10:44
with us but messed up he's got stuff to do of his own no hate on him he's he's busy he's got work Merry Christmas
10:53
guys whether you like his content or not Mark and Lewis did seem to be frustrating a lot of people with their
11:00
videos there were security guards chefs conures you name it and sneaking around
11:06
facilities and buildings which posed a threat to their safety was not something that anyone particularly appreciated
11:14
despite seeing awkward moments of conflict between the two including a part where they were talking about
11:19
alcohol it was evident that they both enjoyed each other's company at least for the most part bonding over moments
11:25
of adrenaline and running away from officers
11:32
up down I need to take my life you want get
11:45
cold I'm just I don't know which you where to
11:50
go see we go up
12:00
you you out you out you Hur
12:38
C [ __ ] on he's coming but sadly despite their fun this
12:46
video is one of the last ever made by Mark with the lockdown still looming
12:52
barely any cash and not many friends Mark was understandably in quite a hard part of his life which is probably why
12:59
he agreed to go out and meet Lewis in the woods for a few drinks Lewis promised to help distract him from the
13:04
many things stressing him out and with this being only a half hour walk away Mark really didn't have anything to lose
13:10
so he agreed it was only after Mark arrived with his little brother that LS said he was no longer comfortable with
13:16
the situation and so a short while later and with a bit of persuasion he was dropped and so later that evening Lewis
13:23
and Mark met in faw field with Lewis quite notably filled to the brim with alcohol I'm not just talking about a
13:29
little bit here I'm talking several bottles of beer Jack Daniels whiskey Coca-Cola you name it and what's worse
13:36
leou seemed to be forcing him to drink when Mark told him that he was now beginning to feel quite drunk Lewis said
13:42
okay and promised that he was now only giving him soda when in reality it was still very strong drinks now we've all
13:49
been there before I'm sure but Mark he had a curfew to follow and so at 11:30 he called his aunt to say that he was
13:55
now on his way back home with lwis chiming in to say that he would get back safely however as you know that would
14:01
never happen because shortly after the two boys they disappeared notifying the
14:06
police that their son was now missing police officers got to work on trying to find Mark the following morning and
14:13
their challenge would only seem to amplify when they realized that his good friend Lewis also failed to make it home
14:19
too as a result all officers in the area were informed to be on the lookout for both of these young men but sadly nobody
14:27
had seen them and as Sunday grew long in the tooth the investigators began to worry over the next several hours not
14:35
one single sighting had been made however by Sunset several citizens had come forward to claim that they had
14:42
actually seen Lewis in a nearby pub so were Mark and Lewis running away and
14:47
simply trying to evade the police I mean they were well known for trying to avoid officers so maybe while the police
14:55
continued to look for both Lewis and Mark in the local pubs and restaurants around town search Crews were hard at
15:02
work in the countryside looking at all of the surrounding lakes and Woodlands however unknown to any of them at the
15:08
time one of them was continuing with his life as if nothing had happened it was
15:14
the following Monday while all of this was still going on by the way that LS then decided to meet up with his friend
15:19
Liam to play some football and then go Cinema now Liam who by the way had no idea that his friend was actually
15:25
reported as missing thought nothing of luc's behavior which was noted to be completely normal the two kicked around
15:32
for a while until Lewis eventually asked Liam if maybe he'd like to catch up the following evening and with nothing on he
15:38
said sure but this time a bottle of Jack Daniels would sit neatly between the two the whiskey burning the throats as they
15:44
shared a drink together now I'm sure that many of us understand and know this feeling but the laughter and Haze of
15:49
alcohol just seems to make things a little bit easier to talk about I'd say but even still Liam he was not ready or
15:58
prepared to hear what Lewis was just about to share I killed him he confessed almost
16:05
casually the kid was annoying me Liam froze unsure if he had heard that
16:10
correctly but Lewis he kept talking kept offering more unwanted Secrets his words
16:16
disturbingly clear despite not being desired in the silent dark he continued
16:22
with his confession I took a knife with me I wasn't sure at first but in the moment it just felt right I wanted to do
16:30
it I felt good about it Mark deserved to die I thought about killing him before
16:35
and finally went through with it sadly the worst was still yet to come with a
16:41
twisted grin Lewis pulled out his phone and then one by one he showed Liam
16:46
several gruesome videos with each one being more disturbing than the last Liam
16:52
could hardly breathe as he watched Lewis was laughing as he showed his friend these videos all of which lasted for
16:59
longer than an hour it was in that moment that Liam suddenly realized that he was hanging out and alone with a
17:05
psychotic murderer his body screamed at him to run and tell someone or anyone
17:11
however for those agonizing moments all he could do was just sit there trapped in the horror but no surprise Liam
17:18
escaped as soon as he had the opportunity to in the meantime police officers were already closing in on
17:24
Lewis they had since searched his home with an active search warrant before then upgrading the missing person's case
17:31
to be a potential homicide due to what they found inside looking around his bedroom they found clothes covered in
17:37
blood which sadly would later be proven to belong to Mark with the reported
17:43
sightings of Lewis and bloody clothes founded his property but no citings of Mark himself detectives then began to
17:50
theorize that maybe he was actually the one responsible and then when Liam reported his Discovery to the officers
17:57
well they knew they needed to find Lewis thankfully it would not take long for
18:02
them to find him because Lewis well he was actually at home waiting for them
18:07
and when asked what had happened he simply replied with I wanted to kill him I've wanted to for a long time shortly
18:15
after his arrest the body of Mark Williams was found in a nearby River search teams located a body in the
18:21
Woodland surrounding the Heron's Gill area which would have only been a short walk from where the two boys drank
18:28
together moving to the legal proceedings of this case the court heard that Lewis would go on to stab mark an
18:34
extraordinary 107 times in the face eyes neck head back genitals chest and right
18:42
leg and after he was done with his violence he then pulled down Mark's trousers and then dumped his body in a
18:48
stream before returning home Lewis claimed that his actions were merely a matter of self-defense and that
18:55
furthermore he had only lashed out at Mark after he had tried to make sexual advances on him however the court did
19:02
not buy his story and ultimately he pleaded guilty to murder and possessing
19:08
an offensive weapon in the end receiving 27 years for his crimes the judge
19:14
declared it to be one of the most Savage sustained and merciless murders that the court had ever dealt with and it's quite
19:20
obvious that she was just as Furious as the rest of the people in the courtroom deeming Mark as a valuable member of
19:27
society who wanted to live live life full of interest and to service others she then went on to recognize the
19:33
immeasurable pain felt by his family following his death they said Mark
19:38
touched the hearts of so many people and made their lives brighter with his loving caring and thoughtful actions we
19:46
are feeling his loss every second and that will never change our hearts are
19:51
broken I think the terrifying thing about this case is that ls's chilling confession made it very obvious that he
19:57
was actually planning to murder Mark for quite some time but with the two knowing each other for only a couple of months
20:02
before he died it does make you wonder if maybe Lewis had been planning this before the two it even met at all now
20:08
what this would mean is that Lewis had actually formed an evil parasocial relationship with this YouTuber and then
20:14
committed to a friendship with him only so he could murder him and what can I say it just goes to show how careful you
20:20
have to be not only with the friendships that you choose but the company too I feel like taking advantage of a friend's
20:26
trust and friendship is one thing but it takes a true psychopath to choose violence murder and then film it all on
20:32
your phone now our next case is slightly different to this one involving both a YouTuber and a Tik tocker and I think
20:38
it's best I just tell you the story instead of create any spoilers and so on that note here's the story of Mr
CASE 2
20:54
Prada the date was September the 29th 2024 when officers received a phone call
21:00
from a concerned citizen driving along Highway 51 while driving along this road
21:06
they noticed a suspicious rolled up top on the side of the highway between the Villages of fluka and Tangipahoa for
21:13
context both of these Villages are around 60 Mi Northeast of Baton Rouge it is an isolated area with most of the
21:20
traffic opting to take Route 55 instead of this small Road a place where others
21:26
were unlikely to see anyone dump a body because hardly anyone would be around
21:31
responding deputies approached the top with caution unwrapping it to find the corps of a white male inside and
21:38
although he was not identifiable at first an autopsy would later help clear up a few of these questions to begin
21:46
with the preliminary cause of death was ruled to be a homicide and that's because the man had appeared to have
21:52
been badly beaten with the manner of death ultimately deemed to be blunt force trauma soon enough the Vic victim
21:58
was identified to be 69-year-old William Nicholas Abraham who lived roughly an hour away in Baton Rouge however the
22:06
more that investigators looked into this case the worse it became for context
22:12
William Nicholas Abraham better known as Nikki was a life coach and a licensed professional counselor he liked to be a
22:18
motivational speaker an author and more and with more than 30 years of experience in treating substance abuse
22:25
depression and anxiety he provided Psychotherapy to all walks of life in
22:31
addition to this he also offered group counseling and presentations to the public he also treated a wide range of
22:38
clients including those suffering from PTSD depression and relational conflicts
22:44
born on December the 28th 1954 in Clarksdale Mississippi Nikki graduated
22:49
from Clarksdale High School in 1972 before then receiving a masters of divinity in theology at the Sacred Heart
22:57
School of Theology moving forward he obtained a PhD in counseling from Marquette University and then also a
23:03
business administration and management degree from Concordia International University so it goes without saying
23:10
that no surprise this man was quite the Smart Cookie Nikki was also practical
23:15
for his age and would try to Branch out of the typical Paths of counseling through emerging Technologies like
23:21
YouTube creating YouTube videos as far back as 2009 where by all counts even
23:27
back then he seems to be a happy and friendly man hello everybody and hello Oprah I have been waiting for years to
23:34
get to you I am sitting here thinking about when I sent you this CD and I don't know if you've seen it yet but I
23:40
did this CD several years ago and I sent it to you my name is Nikki Abraham William Nicholas Abraham but I go by
23:47
Nikki PhD but who cares several years down the road Nikki would goone on to
23:52
attend a few interviews used in several episodes of weekends with Whitney where the host Whitney van described as one of
23:59
her close friends in these episodes he discussed many things such as being in the Here and Now time perspective and
24:06
defense mechanisms for the most part okay sees sees an adversity or an
24:11
obstacle as specific it's the my computer is the problem not life yeah or
24:18
me because I'm an idiot or right or me because I'm an idiot right it's the computer the the specific that it's
24:24
temporary that it's going to pass you know the whole 12ep this to shall pass I
24:29
mean this is really simple thinking but it's powerful thinking because we know it's going to pass and so quite
24:36
naturally when his friends and family found out that he had been murdered they were absolutely devastated to hear the
24:42
news I mean it when I say it but Nikki was a genuinely loved man with one of
24:47
his friends describing him as a wonderful therapist who went that extra step for his clients and truly cared
24:54
about his religion however before they could grieve or ask any further question new evidence caused the internet to
25:00
suddenly erupt with speculation it all began when police officers traveled to his home and his office to see if there
25:07
were any clues or evidence as to who killed him or why and that is when they noticed that his vehicle a black Lincoln
25:13
MKZ was missing the investigators did what any good officer would do in this situation and ran his license plates
25:20
through the system they then told all local police departments to be on the lookout for that vehicle and that would
25:26
prove to be extremely crucial because because only one day later a police officer would recognize that black MKZ
25:32
in the Baton Rouge area the officer tried to initiate a traffic stop but whoever was driving that vehicle was not
25:38
wanting to play ball instead they rammed the vehicle behind them before then driving off and unfortunately
25:45
successfully getting away however that would only be for a short while because later that day the driver accidentally
25:51
crashed the vehicle now thankfully a public surveillance camera would capture several images of the driver and with no
25:57
idea who this driver was the cops released these images to the public investigators are now looking for this
26:04
man in connection to the murder that Baton Rouge therapist the tville Paris Sheriff's Office just released these surveillance videos just tonight they
26:11
believe he was spotted driving the doctor's car this afternoon Riley Kramer's been following these latest developments Riley here's another look
26:18
at this person of interest investigators believe he was driving Dr Nick Abraham's car in Baton Rouge were told he sped
26:25
away from a traffic stop and crashed before running away Dr Nick Abraham was found dead wrapped in a tarp along
26:30
Highway 51 in tangoa Parish investigators say they believe he was killed Saturday evening and his body was
26:36
dumped on the roadway overnight now investigators say they're looking for this man they believe he was spotted
26:42
driving the doctor's car before crashing it near this business off Sherwood Forest in Baton Rouge and running off
26:48
and let me tell you investigators were not prepared for what would happen next because only several minutes later the
26:54
internet exploded with information because as it turns out out that driver was actually a Tik tocker with more than
27:01
4 million followers and so enter 20-year-old terion ishmail Thomas now
27:07
although his real name is terion most people know him by the name of Mr Prada
27:13
an Ecentric content creator who found himself with quite the negative reputation with over 4 million followers
27:20
on his main account Mr Prada became Infamous for his comedic and relatable videos many of which he was accused of
27:28
copying from other creators he began gaining traction on Tik Tok in late 2022
27:34
making numerous accounts over the years due to several copyright violations however his current main account Mr
27:41
Prada 4556 at one point reached 4.1 million followers which since then has
27:47
declined to 3.9 like I said Mr Prada became notorious on the platform for
27:52
copying other creators videos but when I say copying I mean literally shot for
27:58
shot many of these creators who had their content copied by Mr Prada would call him out for his lack of creativity
28:04
however his Unapologetic attitude towards their complaints quickly became the normal it's kind of funny but some
28:11
people on Tik Tok would claim to be Mr Prada victims often feeling even worse when he would respond in a typical John
28:18
Somali fashion with arrogance humor and narcissism in fact he would even go as
28:23
far to make a video saying he was not bothered by the criticism now douche bag or not no one deserves to have poor
28:30
mental health and over the past year many of Mr Prada's followers expressed concern over his wellbeing after he made
28:37
several posts hinting it loneliness and even announcing that his name is not prer anymore because quite frankly he no
28:44
longer felt like himself things started to get slightly weird too when he would
28:49
go on to upload several videos of him shaving his head and even his eyebrows there did seem to be many things going
28:56
on behind the scenes and he would do other things too in one video he said practicing for my mug shot
29:04
because this might be the year someone's going to meet God if they piss me off too much he would also go on to say some
29:10
ominously for boing things like this life is so
29:16
ghetto but at least I'm still skinny do not get into a relationship with anybody
29:21
all they going to do is lie and cheat and manipulate you and try to get in
29:26
your head how you going to manipulate the manipulator I'm too smart for that I
29:33
people problem these days is they be playing like they got issues I really got issues honestly I could go on about
29:39
Mr Prada for a long time with his Tik Tok and his YouTube channel still active and him having a rabbit hole of a
29:46
personality there is a lot to digest here but there are several very important things to note for example in
29:53
one video Mr Prada confirms to his audience that he was unfortunately suffering from from bipolar we don't
29:59
know if this was type 1 type two or even type three known as cyia however all
30:05
come with their fair share of mood swings and unfortunate side
30:10
effects I got to find this [ __ ] oh what's happened um y'all asking what I
30:17
got um I got bipolar I'm bipolar yeah y' y'all never seen anybody that's
30:25
bipolar before see I was I was trying to hide it but it just slipped out it
30:31
slipped out I don't give a [ __ ] as many of you all know bipolar is a mental health condition with extreme
30:37
mood swings including emotional highs known as Mania and emotional lows known as depression it's a long-term condition
30:44
that can be extraordinarily disruptive to everyday life not only for the person who has bipolar but for all of their
30:51
loved and close ones too I think it's quite obvious to say that Mr Prada was clearly going through a whole bunch of
30:56
other things in his life too and although I can't tell you what was causing a strange Behavior online
31:02
because quite frankly I'm not a psychologist Nikki was do you see where this is going now anyway bipolar
31:09
disorder can cause impulsive decision- making which given the accusations laid against Mr Prada was not a good thing
31:15
for him right now and unfortunate for him thanks to Tik Tok there was plenty of evidence that he was not in a good
31:22
head space for several months already in one video dated the 19th of March 2024
31:27
Miss Mr Prada then filmed himself cutting all of his hair
31:37
off damn in another video he doubled down on
31:43
his lack of empathy for other creators who he stole content from further highlighting his lack of remorse
31:48
sympathy or compassion towards other people it is also noted that he really did seem to be running himself ragged
31:56
too I mean with skin and hair like that compared to only a few months prior you
32:01
can really see how unhealthy he was becoming and I could post more but I think you get the picture anyway Mr
32:08
Prada eventually decided to make the move over to YouTube and one of these videos would become very telling of what
32:14
was about to happen although it does seem to be taken at an earlier date it was on September the 28th 2024 that he
32:22
posted this video to his YouTube channel and as uncomfortable as it may be to watch I'm going to let it play for a few
32:29
moments so you can get a good reflection of his mental state with
32:36
you I don't want to be
32:43
with when I'm with
32:49
you I don't want be with you
32:59
I don't want to be with get this [ __ ] off of
33:07
me and this date September the 28th 2024 was the same day that Nikki vanished
33:14
after reviewing the local surveillance footage there were plenty of people who recognized Mr Prada of course that being
33:20
his neighbors and this made it very easy for police officers with enough information to now suspect that Mr Prada
33:26
could actually be related to Nikki's death they decided to bring him in for questioning however after arriving at
33:32
his property they realized that he was nowhere to be found and so after finally
33:37
getting a search warrant to look at his house they decided to break the front door down and see what they could find
33:43
and unfortunately they were met with quite the horrific scene while inside the property officers found evidence of
33:49
a violent physical altercation and a significant amount of blood not only
33:54
that but they would go on to find several unspecified weapons as detectives began to ask around and see
34:01
if anyone had seen the neighbor on the day of September the 28th the ominous answer was yes Witnesses allegedly saw
34:08
Mr Prada dragging an object wrapped in a blue colored top into a black Lincoln
34:13
MKZ which was the same color and model owned by Nikki so now we have a bloody
34:19
crime scene a matching vehicle and a matching tarp all of a sudden this was
34:24
not looking good for terion to make matters even worse undisclosed surveillance footage also apparently
34:31
shows Nikki arriving at Mr Prada's apartment complex that very same morning he was also seen to be wearing the same
34:37
clothes that he was later found dead in although terion was initially nowhere to be found that police crash would of
34:45
course change everything and ironically one of those who witnessed the car crash would even take a video of Mr Prada
34:51
fleeing the crime scene with only a couple frames of the back of his head confirming his identity terion was found
34:57
on October the 1st 2024 where he was then arrested and flown back to Louisiana on the day of Nikki's funeral
35:04
of all days actually he was then charged with murder in the second degree and the obstruction of justice however
35:10
thankfully he would later see that upgraded to murder in the first degree and although he still actually awaits
35:16
his trial I'm going to say this is quite the slam dunk for prosecutors by the way if all of that wasn't enough already the
35:22
police would then later find more surveillance footage of terion inside Nikki's vehicle but despite the mountain
35:28
of evidence which is already available prosecutors are being very careful with what they released to the public for
35:34
example they still haven't actually specified if terion was a client of Nikki's but considering what we already
35:40
know that terion has mental health issues and that Nikki was also a trained psychologist in the area I think we can
35:46
connect the dots here let's be honest Mr Prada definitely needed one it's very likely that Nikki was there simply to
35:53
provide therapy with more than 30 years of experience with people suffering from anxiety PTSD and depression terion fit
36:01
his profile quite perfectly and with the way that he was behaving in the months weeks and days up to the attack it is
36:08
very plausible that he was manic or even experiencing impulsive thoughts at the time actually I'm not even sure you can
36:15
call that impulsive because only a few months prior he had even joked about murdering someone on his Tik Tok with
36:22
Nikki arriving at his property blood found at the property neighbors witnessing teron a heavy top to the
36:28
vehicle and Nikki's body being found in the same type and color top a day later
36:34
well yeah I'm not seeing any alternate timeline here other than the one that terion well he did it he killed Nikki
36:40
and tried to cover it up but I guess that only time will tell we just have to see how the trial goes Nikki was one of
36:48
eight kids and his heartbroken siblings have all opened up about their feelings following his tragic death they remember
36:55
him as a person who always wanted to help other people and not the kind of man that something like this should have
37:01
happened to facing first deegree murder in Louisiana terion could receive the
37:07
death penalty if he's unlucky and just as a side note the obstruction of justice also holds a maximum sentence of
37:14
40 years to fit that already Hefty life sentence which is looming over his head
37:19
so with that said good luck terion you're going to need it now I think we need to address the elephant in the room
37:26
here but there were many signs that terion was mentally unwell and there were hundreds of people that noticed
37:31
this in the months leading up to the murder I mean all of his Tik Tok videos which are still online to this day are
37:37
filled with comments asking if he's okay all I can say is that mental health is extremely important here not to excuse
37:44
his horrible actions by the way but there were many people which saw what was going on I guess on the other side
37:51
there was no one who could directly help him on their own so what were they supposed to do in this situation but
37:57
there is one thing for certain here there were many people which saw this man fall apart firsthand before he then
38:03
went on to murder an innocent victim now this is just my own personal opinion here but what do I think happened I
38:09
think he likely fell apart had some sort of mental relapse met Nikki as a client to therapy and then murdered him in Cold
38:16
Blood and the result we now have two people who have lost their lives it is worth noting here that Nikki was
38:21
apparently being investigated for inappropriately touching an 11-year-old in the year 2015 however prosecutors
38:28
refused to take this case to trial and they also confirmed that this was not terion that aside I feel like this story
38:34
has most of the information we're looking for which is very different to our next
CASE 3
38:48
case Jennifer Sheffield was the bright and beautiful woman living in Brandon Mississippi she had a happy home a
38:55
prosperous career and apparently perfect husband and a very comfortable life ahead so when she suddenly fell silent
39:02
her family and friends knew that something bad must have happened it is worth mentioning here that unfortunately
39:08
she was going through a divorce at the time however she did make it very clear that her soon to be ex husband was very
39:14
supportive and we know this because on December the 10th of 2024 she would go on to post this video on Tik Tok that's
39:21
be a newly single mom um and I am in the middle of a divorce um my my husband is
39:29
being incredible though like really and truly like we are we're working together
39:34
everything's great we're splitting everything down the middle like you know everything is good it is a very civil
39:39
divorce with our daughter our daughter in mind and I really appreciate that you know I'm going to be on my own single
39:46
income right now and he will be helping with her he will be supporting her you
39:51
know um so essentially like I'm really thankful that for that and that I will not have to worry so much about
39:58
supporting her however I will be on a very limited income um with buying a new
40:04
house and you know paying a mortgage and all that stuff I've never done this before I've never been on my own before
40:10
so if you have any tips saving money making money um anything like that like I would really appreciate it like you
40:17
know coffee at home you know I take caffeine pills I do my own hair nails
40:23
everything like I do all that um so yeah if you just have any tips like I would
40:29
really appreciate it cuz like I'm a little scared right now in this video Jennifer described the upcoming challenges she faced not only through
40:36
divorce but also being a newly single mom she also described that despite
40:41
moving on the divorce with her husband Brandon was amicable nevertheless you
40:46
could tell through the smiles and calmness that she was also quite scared about her future and that furthermore
40:53
she appreciated any tips from the Tik Tok community so a difficult challenge ahead but that's okay because at least
41:00
her husband was on board the thing is that would be the last video that she would ever post on Tik Tok and only two
41:07
weeks later she vanished so who precisely was Jennifer Sheffield and
41:13
what happened born on September the 9th 1994 to her mother Eileen and her father
41:19
Gilbert Jennifer grew up alongside her younger brother Austin who by the time they became adults was much taller than
41:26
she was Jennifer was known to be a thoughtful and devoted daughter wife
41:31
mother and friend so when she randomly stopped responding to messages and phone
41:36
calls especially around a time like Christmas well let's just say that people quickly came to the decision that
41:43
something wasn't right while talking about her personality friends describe Jennifer as a beautiful and radiant
41:50
Spirit who is also passionate about helping those around her moving into her education Jennifer studied for a
41:57
Bachelor of Science and biochemistry before then moving on to study for a master of science in biology and medical
42:04
science so again there is no doubt that she was extraordinarily bright and intelligent she also enrolled in the
42:11
master of medical Sciences at Mississippi College in the hopes of becoming a doctor so it does seem that
42:17
her life was shaping up to be quite beautiful and she was excited about her future too to add to her loving demeanor
42:24
Jennifer had a deep love for God travel laughter friends family and of course
42:30
the Finer Things in life but most of all she absolutely adored her kids and her
42:35
career as a young woman in her 20s and 30s Jennifer would often document her life on Tik Tok with almost 10,000
42:43
followers she had built up a small audience that appreciated her for her daily Vlogs motivational videos and tips
42:50
for passing med school hi and welcome to my chaotic life so here I'm just
42:56
studying a a little bit before work at one of the coffee shops like right down the street when I tell you I just kind
43:02
of fit in studying anywhere I can that's pretty much how it's been lately this week we have a lot going on with my
43:09
daughter's school ending so she's got her band banquet we got to go get a dress I've got the yard to cut I've got
43:15
some gardening to do I have like my Max hours that I can do at work and I'm just
43:21
going to try to do what I can here Jennifer found purpose not only in improving the lives of others through
43:27
her work but also in improving the lives of students wanting to graduate from med school so that they too could support
43:34
other people she would also post videos of her getting ready for work talking about her journey with God doing
43:41
tutorials on her hairstyles and other things like gardening and making meals
43:46
coming back to her recent Tik Tok video we already know that Jennifer and Brandon had made the unfortunate
43:52
decision to separate divorces can of course be extraordinarily difficult
43:57
but sometimes things are simply just not meant to be I have been hearing from God
44:03
and now now that I'm feeling God's presence it's like
44:10
bam out of nowhere just something happens the devil is after me because I'm walking with God I'm doing the best
44:16
I can and then right like please help I know Tik
44:22
Tok has all the answers to literally everything so just words of
44:27
encouragement please what is really interesting here
44:32
is that despite not actually being the biological mother to either of Brandon's children she agreed to one of them going
44:39
with her so that she could be raised with a mom now of course this is a highly Noble thing to do although it
44:46
likely did come with complexities we don't quite know when Brandon and Jenifer got together by the way however
44:53
there are photos of the two which date as far back as the year 2017 meaning that they were in love or at least knew
45:00
of each other for at least 7 years taking a quick look at Brandon he was born on September the 22nd 1984 and was
45:09
10 years older than she was as we know he also came with children from former partners and just like everyone else I'm
45:17
sure he had his own baggage but Jennifer she didn't mind that in fact she
45:22
embraced it his children loved her and they seemed happy but clearly things
45:27
were not working out between the two adults now Brandon was known as a family man he loved working on cars fishing
45:35
playing disc golf going on vacations with his family and was an avid fan of Alabama football proudly embracing all
45:42
things Alabama initially from Red oen Texas Brandon decided to move to Brandon
45:47
to be Brandon and live in Brandon branding Brandon's population with another Brandon while he brandished his
45:53
skills as a technician at a local engineering company so all jokes aside
45:58
when he too wasn't responding to any messages or phone calls this only heightened their grave concern it was on
46:05
December the 28th that the authorities received a wellness request at the Sheffield residence you see Jennifer's
46:12
family hadn't heard from her for the entire day prior and with this being such a Sentimental time of the year they
46:17
knew that something bad must have happened I mean there wasn't any other plausible reason well that is when her
46:24
family decided to go to the residence and see precisely what was up and from the outset they realized that something
46:31
didn't seem right and so not to tample with any possible evidence that is when they called the authorities and asked
46:37
them to come down as soon as possible arriving at the property at 7:19 that morning officers found a horrifying
46:43
scene almost immediately all they had to do was open the front door and look down at the floor Brandon and Jennifer had
46:50
both been shot and unfortunately were dead but judging by the positions of them on the floor one of them had been
46:56
murdered while the other was self-inflicted Brandon police are
47:02
investigating according to investigators the incident occurred in a 300 block of tulan Street just after 7 Saturday
47:08
morning Chief Joseph French says family members were at the home conducting a welfare check on their daughter when
47:15
they notice obvious signs of Foul Play French says the bodies are that of 40-year-old Brandon shaffield and
47:22
30-year-old Jennifer shaffield NBI assisted with the crime scene now this is an ongoing investigation addressing
47:29
the crowd waiting outside Chief Joseph French said it appeared that Brandon had shot Jennifer and then himself the pair
47:36
were believed to be at home with their daughter at the time of the incident however thankfully she was unharmed
47:43
friends and family of the sheffields were utterly horrified by the news for many of them Brandon's actions made
47:50
absolutely no sense at all in fact both sides of the family categorically loved
47:55
him and all of Jennifer's friends only knew him as a loving person without any concerning signs as quoted from one of
48:02
their friends he has never been a violent person and I've always loved him for how he loved her so it's definitely
48:10
hard trying to understand something that we will never be able to now this story is already enough to spark healthy
48:17
conversations and debate however moving forward there was a lot of controversy with how Jennifer's and Brandon's
48:24
funerals were held which only seemed to enrage people online and for potentially
48:29
valid reasons too to begin with many people were surprised when they learned that their funerals were actually held
48:36
together in Brandon now under normal unfortunate circumstances where two partners die together this of course
48:42
would make sense however let's not forget that it does look incredibly likely that Brandon murdered his wife so
48:50
on that basis why are they sharing a service to answer the pain it was also pointed out on Twitter that ER did not
48:57
seem to have her own photo at their funeral more so she seemed to be a part of his life and without her own it is
49:05
very hard to know what either of the two families were thinking but I'm sure that this at least made some sense through
49:11
their grieving process just a side note here but Brandon seemed to strongly support the Second Amendment which to be
49:18
honest I can't argue with a lot of people do but the problem I have here is how contradictory he was in one of his
49:24
most recent Facebook posts in one of his posts he said I won't shoot you my gun
49:30
won't pull its own trigger it can't just go off however rest assured that if a
49:35
lunatic walks into a grocery store and then pulls out a rifle I will draw my pistol and protect myself and my family
49:43
I would like to keep my right to choose to not be a helpless victim there is evil in the world and if evil has a gun
49:50
I want one to 2 years later he would then use that very gun against his own
49:56
family now of course we don't quite know why the two were splitting up so it
50:01
wouldn't really be fair to speculate however it is clear that Jennifer and Brandon tried to keep the issues away
50:07
from friends family and the public and so with that said who knows what could have driven them apart what we do know
50:14
is that Jennifer was an incredible mom to Brandon's two daughters her Facebook is covered in not dozens but hundreds of
50:21
photos of her and his family she invested all of her love attention effort energy and time into this family
50:29
and what did she receive in return a bullet of the head and a shared funeral now from what we do know Jennifer seems
50:35
to be handling this divorce rather well she seemed to want to split everything down the middle was being amicable about
50:41
the situation and even called Brandon incredible but maybe this wasn't the same story for Brandon who at the time
50:48
might have felt like he was losing control of the situation his family and friends all describe him as a genuinely
50:54
nice guy and at least from what we know he never seems to be violent towards Jennifer or anyone else for that matter
51:00
but watching a partner move on can be genuinely Soul destroying and maybe this is where his nice Sky illusion suddenly
51:06
shattered especially if he never learned how to deal with rejection in previous years it is very possible that maybe he
51:13
couldn't even begin to Fathom life without Jennifer the kids or half the income and if that was the case then
51:19
maybe he decided to take reality into his own hands even if reality meant the death of his wife and himself what makes
51:26
this story so much harder to understand is how much Jennifer seemed to trust and appreciate Brandon in her videos this
51:33
wasn't a typical case where she seemed to be in distress and so on that note what precisely happened unfortunately at
51:39
least for now nobody knows and it just goes to show that you can never trust what people post on social media social
51:46
media presents a carefully created version of reality often distorting our perceptions and setting unrealistic
51:54
expectations platforms like Instagram and Tik Tok are filled with highly edited photos you're also dealing with
52:00
exaggerated Lifestyles highlight RS that rarely reflect the struggles behind the scenes and often just outright lies this
52:09
constant exposure to Perfection can often make people feel very inadequate especially when they compare their
52:15
everyday lives to an idealized unattainable standard but many people do forget that these images are filtered
52:22
staged and even manipulated leading to unrealistic comparison persons and of
52:27
course self-doubt for example we only have to go as far back as my recent video to see how Kelsey Turner who
52:34
portrayed herself as a Playboy model was actually just a horrible leech Kiana and
52:40
Ronald Burns tried to look like millionaire masterminds and also a power couple when in reality they were broke
52:46
and hated each other and of course then there's Daniel Johnson who shouldn't have been on Twitter at all so the next
52:53
time you're on social media and do begin to feel lousy then I have a suggestion for you close the app put the phone down
53:00
and focus on yourself just head out for a coffee spend time with a loved one or pick up that hobby you've always wanted
53:06
to try and please believe in yourself not that fake facade from ticktockers to
53:12
YouTubers and influencers to therapists it seems that absolutely no one is safe from crime and that's because
53:19
unfortunately this is just the Game of Life wrapping up here we've come to the end of this third story and the end of
53:25
the video and so with that said thank you so much for making it this far folks I really do appreciate you being here
