No sympathy for the “human” crying saying “I’m gonna die in jail” when a girl that was only 21 was getting ready for work and had no idea she would live her last terrifying moments that day.

@kae murderers are manipulative we don’t know they are murderers.

@The Furious Killers I don’t think we can predict evil acts. Woman like bad boys is true but we don’t know if someone is a murderer. Woman especially young put themselves in very bad situations and we do have to take responsibility for ourselves. As a young girl, 13 or so I never snuck out of my parents home to meet “ friends.” A 14 just stabbed a young girl 114 times. Horrible and I am not victim blaming BUT why did she meet him at 1:00am in the woods. REALLY?!  So naive. RIP these young beautiful girls with a life ahead of them.

@Mette Abildgaard exactly. Look at Ted Bundy..

@Mette Abildgaard exactly. Look at Ted Bundy..

@ソイレントシルバー keep it real.  Its just a discussion not a conclusion. We can prevent many things

@Sage Wisdom If you read the edit on my comment, you would know that I actually wasn’t considering if I was a “terrible person” or not. That’s how I know you didn’t read my full comment. You should read the full comment if you’re going to call someone a clown; you should also thoroughly think something through before you generate a strong opinion on something (in other words, like most commenters in this thread, assuming you have a similar viewpoint as the original comment, you are missing a whole lot of nuance).

Anyway, like I started this comment off, I fully stand behind my feelings because I realize that they are nuanced, justifiably empathetic, and understanding.

@The Furious Killers Another note, it is very common with the promiscuity of modern women (and men, though that is usually less relevant) and the feminist ideology in modern society, they aren't taught to fear reasonable dangers to their person, it doesn't help that few women seem to ever get into the topic of being easily overpowered by men unless it has happened to them already. (which is usually at the point where crime took place) The lack of fear when it comes to the possibility of demonstrably evil men, or the jading of feeling over wicked acting men is becoming a more common problem. And a lot of women will also make irrational decisions, especially after they've had sex with a guy, increasing the chance of them ignoring or not recognizing red flags. (and taking drugs only compounds that problem) Thing too is that she was clearly not all that blameless in circumstance even in being a victim, (because of all the association and things she likely took with him) and sometimes in cases like this they get what they deserve even with the criminal being a scumbag. Not that we shouldn't try to avoid it as much as possible but its a bit like gun safety, usually nobody (undeservingly) gets hurt or dies unless multiple rules for it are broken.

@Delightful she brought it on herself hanging out with a guy almost 10 years older doing hard drugs. Then trying to get him fired. She brought it on herself

@CancerSquad ?????? youre still blaming her

@CancerSquad ?????? youre still blaming her

@sunny d No but maybe don’t hang out with sociopaths idk

@sunny d No but maybe don’t hang out with sociopaths idk

@Sage Wisdom ...for instinctually feeling sympathy? Didn’t realize it was that unique of a feeling...

@Anthony Donelli you're not a terrible person, just a 🤡🤡🤡😏😘

@Anthony Donelli you're not a terrible person, just a 🤡🤡🤡😏😘

The "could have just told her to leave you alone" part makes me think that the part where he said she was blackmailing him might be true, although of course he shouldn't have dated someone from the job to begin with.

narrator said it wouldn't be easy to watch him break down, i found it entertaining. he got what he deserved for taking that poor girl's life

@The Furious Killers So your blaming women for being murdered because they don't Magically know the person they are with. Married people find out they are married to murderes. Just because someone choses to date someone doesn't mean they know exactly who they are because people can hide that and no there are not always markers we aren't all psychologists

@The Furious Killers not the victim blaming 😐

@The Furious Killers not the victim blaming 😐

@Robbie just like our opinion has no value, your view has no value too. welcome to internet.

These comments on this thread are so sophomoric and ridiculous...post less. .read more

@The Furious Killers Well, personally I don’t agree with all of that. The death penalty is a whole different conversation which I don’t usually have much of an opinion on. I just agree that Savannah does hold at least some kind of accountability. Lee holds the vast majority of blame in my eyes but yeah, idk.

@The Furious Killers You don't see the point do you? They choose to be with the person but they didn't know that they are manipulative and narcissists. It's not easy to tell those kinds of people and you should not blame the victim for choosing to be with the guy. Also, you can choose to leave an abusive relationship but in this case, the guy had to end her life before that decision could be made. He could have talked it out, move on, find someone else, and etc. But no. He chose to kill her and killing, on it's own, is the worst thing to be ever done to another human being.

@Chris Edwards u are free to think whatever u are. As am i. So dont burden ur brain on internet

@Anthony Donelli its understandable to sympathyse with people. He felt scared and wanted to keep his job and not have his life ruined. Thats a understandable fear. He cried cause he knew what was coming and honestly it was probbaly just a heat of the moment thing. I guarantee if he could he would have changed it if he could have. I dont think hes a horrible person. I think hes a guy who got scared and did something terrible.

@The Furious Killers Just read this thread and I just wanted to let you know that I understand where you’re coming from and I actually agree with you to some extent.

I understand that you’re blaming Savannah and Lee and not just Savannah as other commenters are saying you are. I just wanted to let you know that there is someone else that understands you’re level of nuance. I’m sorry for what happened to your sister and I wish you a great rest of your day.

@HR Mariel I’m not saying anything of significance but he actually just said earlier in the thread that his sister was murdered

I feel like a terrible person and I’ve been pondering this for the past 10-15 minutes but, for some reason, I did feel some sympathy for the dude at the end.

Now, I 100% think he deserves whatever time he got in prison and I would never fight for him but there’s something about the distress that he’ll never be free again and, more significantly, that there’s nothing he can do. He’s regretting everything that he did and he wishes he could go back and just make a different decision but, unfortunately for him and Savannah, he can’t. I think it’s because I’m tryna put myself in his shoes and although I can’t fully relate to his situation, I can tell the distress he’s in is absolutely terrible. That and the fact that he not only expressed regret for his own actions but also expresses regret for Savannah’s sake (when he “apologizes” to Savannah) makes me somewhat sympathetic.

Obviously though, I feel much worse for Savannah as, like you said, she was a very young and apparently (as Lee mentioned at the end) nice girl with loads of potential and innocence (at least as far as we know).

Idk though, I just wanted to express my feelings because they were the opposite of yours and I thought it was interesting at the very least

Edit: I don’t know why I said this before but I actually don’t feel like a terrible person because of the way I feel. I trust myself and actually completely defend my feelings. Don’t know why I said “I feel like terrible person”

@The Furious Killers I never said we don't choose who to hang out with. But that doesn't mean being killed was justified. He committed a crime, I agree she could have put herself in a safer situation. But that doesn't mean she had any fault in it. I think you want to hold people responsible for consequences but fail to understand that most people don't expect to be killed in most situations.

@Cerberus well i would be angry but we do have free will and can chose who ever we want to be with.

@The Furious Killers how would you feel if someone blamed your sister for being killed? Thats what you're doing to this person.

@The Furious Killers   This may be news to you, but shitty people don’t tend to announce that they’re shitty when getting into relationships. Abusers and the like are often master manipulators, and one of the hallmarks of a manipulator is that they know how to outwardly present themselves so they come across as likeable and charming - thus often avoid suspicion from the people around them.
It was said near the beginning of the video that Lee Rodarte was regarded as a popular, charming, and charismatic individual. We weren’t given any indication that Rodarte had behaved violently towards Savannah Gold prior to her murder, so how the hell was she supposed to know what he was capable of doing? People aren’t mind-readers, you know.

The only one to blame for the murder of that poor girl is the murderer himself. Pushing the guilt unto the victim is such an incredibly fucked up thing to do.

Well, he is right. No way he survive it, at least gangrape is comming

@Delightful well murderer is at fault of murdering and part of mistake was her being with that kind of guy.<br>I mean there are markersm

@Delightful well murderer is at fault of murdering and part of mistake was her being with that kind of guy.
I mean there are markersm

@The Furious Killers So it's her fault to be murdered and not his fault to murder her...? wat

@sunny d Yeh i believe as an adult we are responsible for our own security, what people we chose to be with. There are markers in personalities which yells things.
I am not directly blaming her but she chose to be with a guy like him.
And please murder is not new thing. Its been done since dawn of human

@The Furious Killers are you blaming this girl for getting literally murdered

@kae yeah whats the point, because this cycle is going to continue over and over. <br>I know this because my sister was murdered too.

@kae yeah whats the point, because this cycle is going to continue over and over.
I know this because my sister was murdered too.

@The Furious Killers so what really is the point of your comment.

@The Furious Killers so what really is the point of your comment.

@The Furious Killers people tend to be manipulative to others who cant immediately pick up the behavior. also some men are genuinely crazy and will go out of their way even when a woman decides to stay away.

Women should start dating good man? There are markers in everyone's personality but girls always fell for evil man. Where is the so called women intuition ? <br>Most girls murdered are one way or another ironically involved with evil man.

Is there follow up on this case  now, after trail??

Yes. I posted a comment just now.

> Lee Rodarte, the man charged with killing the 21-year-old in 2017, was convicted to 40 years in prison on March 11, 2021.

> According to Action News Jax reports, Lee Rodarte Jr., 31, received his sentence on March 11, nearly three years after he was charged with killing Gold, with whom he worked at a Bonefish Grill in Mandarin. In February, Rodarte reached an arrangement with prosecutors and pleaded guilty to second-degree murder; in exchange, prosecutors proposed a sentence of 40 years with credit for time served, and the judge agreed.

> Rodarte appeared virtually before 4th Circuit Court Judge Jeb Branham to file the plea agreement made with prosecutors.

> Action News Jax was published in 2019 when Rodarte tried to claim self-defense 2019. His claim was later denied.

> Rodarte was also charged with proof tampering and abusing a body, but those charges were dropped as part of his plea agreement.

> Prosecutors and the defense negotiated a sentence of 40 years in prison with credit for time served.


You kill someone because of a job at f*cking bonefish


Detective: "So how do you know Savannah?"<br>Rodarte: "So around 13.7 billion years ago, everything we know of was an infinitesimally small singularity, a point of infinite denseness and infinite heat. Then, explosive expansion began..."

.....i thought a 60 second response was too long


I would confess anything to the lady officer her voice oooohhh


Why does nobody ask for a lawyer? Are they just intimidated by authority or just ignorant?


My god, that female detective is annoying. I feel sorry for her husband....if he's still around.


If this guy had had better parents, they would have told him, "son, don't ever commit murder because you are too dumb to get away with it."

Looks like I have to go have a talk with my son 🤣😜

@Psyborg Punk cause they didnt watch "how to get away with murder"

@Erkinus not many here will get the reference. I appreciate it now send me back to my cell.

my momma told me "son. always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns"

@Erkinus Yup,had he only asked for a coke he would probably have gotten away with the murder

And if you had better parents they would have told you not to upload silly comments like this because you"re way too silly to get away with it!

He didn’t ask for a coke, classic beginners mistake

I imagine having this decision to make in itself is the real question!


dude i talk so much and explain everything in detail id be screwed.


Hello. Iv just been to a friends funeral. I'm sad. This video  is meant to cheer me up. Is that odd? 🤔

@Calior Bustarika Thank you!  Yes I feel better. Glad it's over. 👍🏻👍🏻🙏 Much love from Colin in Wales, on a sunny Thursday morning. Hope you have a great day ❤🙏


Why would they refuse to release the confession?


Props to the parents. They knew something was wrong right away.

This is an underrated comment lmao, those parents know

Too bad they didn’t know when something was wrong when she started doing heavy ass drugs. Too bad it takes a terribly written text message that she’s running away to figure out somethings wrong.

To be fair, if she did not have a bad relationship with her parents and usually didn't make such spelling mistakes there is legitimately no way for her to have written those texts. "Running away with my boyfriend" without ever having mentioned him is already severely out of character for most people. Texting instead of calling for such dramatic action etc.

It was kinda obvious tho if you know her at all you would know if she was the type of person to run away with a boyfriend

@Read My Comment l wished l had listened sooo many times but I swear, when you’re in love you really are blind

you're not a good parent if you dont know you're child is lying right away.  I can't lie to my mom, she knows everytime

When your parents say they don't trust your partner, listen. It could save your life

@Madtroll My point, and it was lost on you, was he was pointing out typo/spelling mistakes as the reason why the parents were thinking it wasn't her. Why they thought it wasn't her was not pointed out in the video. Maybe she writes in abreviations mostly and uses lots of abbreviations, so don't be so pedantic.

@John Be Bad if she did type that way and the contents of his texts made sense to her parents, then this video wouldn't have been made, would it?

@Madtroll Some people type that way though.

People would know if a text was faked from my phone. I spell every word out and use punctuation. I don't shortcut words though sometimes I am tempted. So if you type "Ur nice", definitely fake as I am going to spell the correct version of the your, you're, and you are.

seeing the way that message was phrased and the number of spelling mistakes, made it seem that her phone was hacked or someone got a hold of her phone. I don't even personally know Savannah, but I definitely felt something was wrong with those texts.


"This would make its observation far more tolerable but by no means easy"

Me: 👁👄👁


that lady detective was getting a little too emotional , she said fuck the smart detective shit , her heart was coming out of her mouth. L


Detective: “How did you know Savannah?”<br>Lee: “Well, it all started when I was born…”

Detective: “How did you know Savannah?”
Lee: “Well, it all started when I was born…”

@Daisy Try watching the video. They explain why he speaks for so long. He is GUILTY. Guilty people give long, drawn out answers.

ive watched a lot of these completely out of nowhere and unjustified at all murder interviews and they alllwaayyys give their life story. wonder what thats about.

@Doodle Bob notice this was a month ago… and neither have responded since….. smh….👀👁😳

"...and then I took my dog out for a walk. His name was Doggy Boy..."

It started when we first laid eyes on each other through the chef window at the bonefish. She was on day one and I was not a manager yet. I asked her what her favorite food was and she said spaghetti. I told her that's my favorite food too.....you see detective savannah and I come from similar lives...


These are the two most annoying investigators I’ve ever seen.


Their patreon is quite cheap but having on YouTube is pretty great

@Jackson 83 They should make more videos too.

no its not, its terrible. Constant video disappearances, whole sections of videos missing. They need to focus on their patreon.


After watching these videos I've learned, if you're in an interrogation,  they need something from you, do not give it to them.  no matter what, dont say anything except to ask for a coke.

@Filip Murzea Extremely naive of you to fail to understand that innocent people often get interrogated and many times they also end up saying something that can be incriminating. There is literally no good reason to talk to the police without a lawyer and I hope everyone ignores people that are trying to give the police an easier time convicting innocent people.

Of course!  Even if obviously and completely innocent, speak only one word. Lawyer. Even if it’s you’re own loved one missing, you can get a layer Very very quickly, speak to police only through your lawyer. There are a LOT of innocent people rotting in prison on account of law enforcement and prosecutors twisting their words around.

@Slime ninja lots of innocent people get interrogated, and many get convicted. If you are innocent, state your innocence firmly, ask for a lawyer, then say nothing more.

I guess if you're a criminal and killed someone that's probably your best move, how about don't end up in a interrogation room cause you've done something that might put you in jail for life or on death row

Rules of Interrogation for Dummies - by Jeff

@Ian Moone What about all those innocent people that have been in police interrogation rooms? Your comment makes no sense. Innocent people make themselves look guilty all the time and that occasionally leads to their arrest. No-one, even the most innocent person in the world, should talk to the police without a lawyer present.

How about don't murder people and you won't be in a police interrogation room

That's another reason Jeff is a legend. "I just came up here for a coke and a butterfinger" He never did get that butterfinger tho...

That part is right, but more importantly, never work at Bonefish

@S'wit I'm so gonna go full Jeff if I ever get interrogated again. Gotta reep whatever benefits, right?

@Ka7al Yeah but how she did it was a bit too much.

Maybe don’t get interrogated because you did a crime?

Wham bam thanks for the coke... Put me back in the cell.

@Joe Public dude calm down. I was having a conversation with someone else. And I can have an opinion last time I checked. I personally could care less about her method or whether or not it worked.

@Rhea Mickens - The guy got convicted, right? So her act was effective. Like REALLY???

Dont ask for a coke.....they may be trying to extrsct DNA off the can after you tske a swig.

Always ask for a coke! You may never get the butterfinger! 😄😉

and state at them as long as you can without blinking

Would you say that for a person actually committed the crime and hiding it?

@Mr. Boostang Think it must have been 'The Legend of "Jeff"'.

@Rhea Mickens it's her job getting a confession and more info, It doesn't matter what she does

@Rhea Mickens Yeah, that part was suuuper cringy xD

PRECISELY!!! If they had the evidence they needed to nail u, they wouldnt be begging for u to confess. Which brings me to this female detective....like REALLY??? Is she actually BEGGING him to talk??? CRYING??? Shes auditioning for best actress in an urban drama. 🤦

What's with the coke nonsense? Why is everyone saying that?

EDIT: Nvm, found the video.


Did I miss it or was their no motive for it at all just killed her for no reason

It was explained in the video. Pay attention next time.

Supposedly, as dumb as this sounds, it was all because Lee and Savannah were in an intimate relationship of some sorts which is strictly against policy at the BoneFishGrill. Lee was a manager if I'm remembering right and Savannah was not. So to save his job he killed her. Yeah Lee is a real genius, kill savannah to save your job and get caught and throw away both the job and 40 years of freedom


Min 4:04  bro thats is not a 2012 malibu , more like a 2006 malibu 🤔


Savannah looked like a beautiful flower.  How can a man kill a beautiful flower?  This world is dark and scary.


In his defense, he hasn't tooken Adderall since high school.

@CaseSheep Afraid I must correct you, as lee has not acquired amphetamine from me at any point in our lives so Lee never tooketh my adderall therefore your use of the word "thy" is incorrect.

@Mayor of Hueco Mundo Adderall is sometimes prescribed for impulse control, and the murder seemed impulsive. I dont think its responsible for what he did.

@Lude Zooted he has not tooketh thy adderal substances since highschool

@Corazon del Oro we still don’t think you’re smart bro

@John Koepke You didn't need to capitalize the G in "Grammar," which you also misspelled - oh.  Sorry...

@Jessicajanedoe hahaha maybe! My experience with adderall/adhd is that it gets you in your head and you don't talk as much. But I don't know how it affects those w/o ADHD who take it, and I've never been interrogated so I don't know! lol/ These comments give me life hahahaha

@Corazon del Oro Wait now! “heart of the Au” It dont matter none that we ain’t talkin’ right an’ everthang.... Science dudes dun founded out that it’s all BS an’ that even if you ain’t tooken no dope in a bit - you still smart ...an’ everthang .... it’s science dude ..... as in Science ya know .....math an’ s*#t .....Kwaysions!..... nuff said!!

@Austin Muncrief If he had "tooken" ketamine then i would understand the temporary memory loss but he didn't.

hahaha. Grammar Nazi aside, "in his defense", I don't think the Adderall really helped him too much, lol. Also, how nice she gets clean and he takes her to get beers. What a gem. No wonder he was so "popular".

@John Koepke It has been shown that the single most effective way of silencing so-called "grammar Nazis" is to demonstrate consistently correct grammar.  As such demonstration greatly facilitates the communication of ideas, exercising correct grammar is of inestimably great benefit principally to the "speaker" having used it to transmit with reasonable exactness his intent, and secondarily to the "audience" for the precision of their consequent interpretation.

Shunning good grammar is among the surest and most readily observed indices that the speaker has not only elected to forego every opportunity for self-improvement and advance, but also that he has contempt for himself and for others; the converse is likewise true: striving for good grammar is among the most easily noted proofs that the speaker is both able and willing to improve himself and his welfare by contributing positively to the community of which he is part.

For better or for worse, the choice is nevertheless yours to make.

@Grammar Nazi OMG, I love your representative symbol!  It's simultaneously both hilarious and iconic!  Pardon the pun.

@Grammar Nazi OMG, I love *your* representative symbol!  It's simultaneously both hilarious *and* iconic!  Pardon the pun.

Lol I was like “yeah right” you just decided that to last night?

That probably had something to do with his rage towards her. Stuff can turn you to a monster if you let it

@Dav3 Leave them alone no one cares about simplistic errors that can be fixed.

Since you're all about what other people have to say about this:

"Correct a mature person and they'll thank you, correct an immature person and they'll try to insult you."

Kind of common knowledge...

Tooken lol, evidently you missed out on even middle school

@John Koepke Well, same advice goes to you I guess ?

Question: Does it make you a jerk if you call other people jerks and tell them to get a life ?

You see, everytime you attack someone else, you also tell on yourself.

@DE VANOV Did you know scientists have found people that are always Grammer checking people on social media are pretty much "jerks." If ya don't believe me you should look it it up. This is the you tube comment section. Get a life.

Adderall doesn’t cause memory loss. It wasn’t like he just took barbiturates or narcotics lol

He literally probably talked his way into confessing because of the adderall

@Mya:3 Hahaha! Thanks man! I actually teach linguistics!

@DE VANOV thats the joke hehe lee made the same mistake in the video


90 min without even anything to read and those fluorescent lights. Maybe he could have talked to the guy standing in the corner with the video recorder. Det Bo Tie.


Want to actually make some progress on lessoning  murders? Eye for an eye


Those interrogation rooms could all use a woman’s touch,


i know the narrator said not all footage is available to the public, but how tf did they see anything on that video? 2:36


I'm confused, why don't they ever get a lawyer at the get-go? <br>The Coca-Cola guy had the right idea.

I'm confused, why don't they ever get a lawyer at the get-go?
The Coca-Cola guy had the right idea.

don't make that info public. We would have a crap ton of unsolved murder cases... lmao!!

I love Jeff! I've known a few guys like him.

Because how many times has this dude been arrested before versus Jeff, the Coke guy ??  It’s call experience.

I dont see why you're confused nor why people agreed with this comment. Lee wasn't expecting to be accused of being involved with savanna's disappearance. Of course he wouldnt have known to get a lawyer at the get-go. 🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂

Because criminals think they can talk their way out of trouble. They forget that cops are smarter than they are. Also, cameras are everywhere. ✌

Obviously I'm glad this guy didn't ask for a lawyer and incriminated himself, but regardless of guilt or not... ALWAYS get a lawyer, don't say shit. Even if you're innocent you could say something they'll latch on to and justify them harassing you for years if they have no other leads.

@Bret Z Nope, it can never be better to talk to the cops or argue with them. Whether it's on the street, in your car, or in an interrogation room. Nothing will be up to them anyways. The cops only goal is to strengthen the prosecution, if you're talking to anyone it's a jury through your lawyer or the prosecutor, through your lawyer. The absolute best, and rare, case scenario when talking to the cops, is you simply don't screw yourself over saying something stupid. There's no scenario where it helps you.

@hopeseekr Jeff.  We can't find anything more about him, but damn if he ain't a legend.

@David You can answer all questions No Comment if you want. That's exactly what I done.

@Matt It was serious. Importing drugs, intent to supply and possession of ammunition (a big charge here). Lawyers here are shit. Infact most of them want you to get charged because it's just more money for them.

Ignorance maybe... If you've groan being arrested you know how to play the game

lolololol Jeff got the Coca Cola and zipped it . The cop was like " you don't deserve that coke and was about to throw it in the trash , then cop picks up the coke thats almost half full realizes this and Jeff says" Can I finish my coca cola??"....then the cop.gives it right back to him like his little bitch LMAO

Matt K but the key is that you need only remember that you don’t have to answer, and that when you do it’s probably not the smartest choice

@Irish 1916 You could just not answer though. I assume it's not required that you answer any questions.

was thinking the same thing. being interrogated for 1+ hours sounds fucking awful.  Guilty or not guilty id shut the fuck up and wait for a lawyer.

Ye lot in America are lucky. Here in Ireland you don't get a lawyer in the room with you when you're been questioned.<br>I got arrested before, asked for a lawyer. The lawyer came and said to me sure just answer the cops questions. I shit you not.

Ye lot in America are lucky. Here in Ireland you don't get a lawyer in the room with you when you're been questioned.
I got arrested before, asked for a lawyer. The lawyer came and said to me sure just answer the cops questions. I shit you not.

@Matt K You don't have to answer though.

They think they can out smart the cops. They don't want to pay for a lawyer. They think it looks suspicious. All of the above.

Matt K actually, in the US that’s exactly the case. ask for a lawyer and they must stop questioning you.

Uhm the coca cola guy was innocent. And usually when crimes are committed in the heat of the moment the perpetrator mostly likely is overwhelmed with guilt and very vulnerable whereas a cold blooded killer has no remorse and ready to do anything save their ass

@Bret Z and risk the cops latching onto something circumstantial and tunnel visioning on you? It's happened before, it'll happen again.

Jeff's video is what brought me here. Lol

My name is jeeeff lol<br>He know cops more then this stupid killers so he dont kill

My name is jeeeff lol
He know cops more then this stupid killers so he dont kill

@Liberty Prime It depends. If innocent, it "can" in theory, be better to talk.

They wrongly think asking for lawyer is suspicious, and they can redirect attention away from themselves by cooperating and talking.


Female detective shouldn't have been allowed to speak


All this just to keep your shitty restaurant manager job?🤔😅


what a fool!! should of lawyered up! then it would of been took her on a ride n let her out! done!


26:05 lol this is like amber heard level melodrama def felt fake


i heard a commercial for this place on Spotify this is wall I think of.


The fact JCS has only a handful of episodes, but is one of the most successful, if not the most successful channel for crime is crazy.

He used to have more not sure why some have disappeared

@victoneter No ads? Are you sure about that?

@BayAreaNewMan because they take their time.

Man I wish this channel kept making videos

@victoneter they’re are most definitely ads are you good?

@BayAreaNewMan it just takes them a really long time to make. If you're interested watch him on patreon, I think it's only a dollar and he had a lot more videos on there. He puts the more graphic ones there I believe so he doesn't get copyright strikes

When i first started watching him a couple years ago he only had around 100k subs, and now he has 4.5 million, I've never seen a channel grow this fast(totally deserved too). It also seemed like YouTube was randomly stifling him back then also because he's had 3 or 4 great videos removed.

What happened to this channel? Why no new content

I love how they fast forward through the dross, pure class

There is tons of other stuff on their patreon still. I subbed there right after they stopped making content. It was a good few days worth of binge watching for five bucks though. I asked if they would be making more and they kindly responded saying it would all be on YouTube from now on and I should unsubscribe from Patreon. This was about a year ago. This channel could be raking in millions easy if they would just start again.

And in the same time, it encourage people made these kind of video which show disturbing contents and thus they have to focus 100% on quality and only able to earn money from alternative party. No annoying ads or clickbait

It's because his videos don't waste your fucking time. There's no ads, or irrelevant channel updates. Just good content.


Can I rent that  video camera that shot the grainy images of Lee in the parking lot in the processes of kidnapping, I need it for my video's of the Big Foot expedition that is in the planning ...Hah Her Hah ha


I'd say the woman is ruining it for the  police


Mommy I'm guna die in jail... Lmao. That's what you get boi.


Hes a manager at the restaurant yet does not realize that the parking lot has surveillance video? Lol

He knows there are Cameras, he lost his Temper, thats it,  rational thinking does not come into play here.

@Let Me Catch You Slippin not sure if this is sarcastic or not but I love having a diverse group of friends that bring diff career perspectives to the table so we can talk about fun new things rather than medicine all day. anyways hope you grow up. it's 2021. Happy New Years.

@Alex that says a lot about your friend mix.

That would matter if the murder was premeditated. Which might be not the case.

@Let Me Catch You Slippin some of my brightest friends are managers at restaurants and I'm a physician. what a stupid comment.

The biggest shock is a 28 year old being executive chef.  Practically unheard of, but it shows he was talented and charismatic, and convincing.

He's the executive chef, too, not some pissant manager.  That means he does the food cost, inventory, all ordering, hiring and firing responsibilities, training and instituting a training program others can follow.  He would absolutely be privy to the knowledge of cameras, I just think he underestimated the camera's reach and also that he would be a suspect.  They don't check cameras, ever, unless there's a problem.

@Let Me Catch You Slippin Hahah the ignorance of the hospitality industry. Try a saturday shift in a busy restaurant 👍

That's what I was thinking. If you're a manager shouldn't you be aware what kind of surveillance you have?

@Let Me Catch You Slippin their are plenty smart restaurant managers. This one just isn't. Even a dumb restaurant manager knows where the cameras are, because you see them all the time when your in the office. He most likely didn't consider them because he did this out of passion.

kimielle that is still only your experience. There are hundreds of thousands of restaurant managers in the world

I mean in the restraint I work In we have managers in kitchen. Head chef sous chef and then one other junior sous chef and they wouldn’t know where any cameras or tills or anything like the such. The front of house managers are in control of that where I work. Not sure how it works at other places 👍

@82ndAbnVet That would definitely be a long shot. Why would Savannah talk to the guy who stole his car for fourteen minutes before getting in the back seat?

kimielle Okay, that’s your experience. They aren’t the only restaurant manager in the world.

@n64p3 there were 2 videos. 1 in the parking lot that had his car and her car on camera(video was not shown) and then one at the intersection near the lights which captured his car again.

Wasn’t the surveillance footage from across the street or am I mixing videos

@Let Me Catch You Slippin  I think you underestimate the job unfairly ... Dealing with that many personalities (servers etc) and customers  and making the night run smoothly is no easy task...

@Zamerus he probably was the kitchen manager, not floor or GM.  Corporate chains are different than your main st mom n pop, so he may actually not have been privy to that info

@82ndAbnVet his best bet was to stick with his original story, they didn't have matching plates all they had was a similar looking car of the same model. It literally could've been anybody, it's an extremely popular car a good lawyer would've had him out of there

@82ndAbnVet His best bet would be to talk only in the presence of his attorney once his Miranda rights were read to him.

criminals apparently keep thinking that cameras don’t exist when <b>they’re</b> the ones committing the crime.

criminals apparently keep thinking that cameras don’t exist when *they’re* the ones committing the crime.

@Joe Public if he’s worked there long enough to become manager then he had to at least know the place had cameras in case of robbery and stuff.

Let Me Catch You Slippin restaurant managers can’t be smart?

Why does that automatically mean he should know the parking lot has cameras?

@_KHUSHI _ It recognized his car.  His best bet would have been to say his car was stolen and he wasn't driving.  Still a long shot, but a better defense than what he's going with now.

@82ndAbnVet but it did recognize him is the WHOLE point

He knew that it only recorded 1 pixel at a time and couldn't be recognized.

Uh, yeah. Because he’s a Manager. At. A. Restaurant. Not a manager at literally anything smarter.


Cry for yourself. Worry for yourself 😃😃😃


Dude!! ON ADDERALL AND HAVE TO SIT IN AN INTERROGATION ROOM ALONE FOR 90 min and try to act ok?!! MY GOODNESS I WOULD BE ROCKING BACK AND FORTH! LICKING MY LIPS, FREAKING OUT!! ID ALSO BE ON EDGE AND PE PISSEDBOFF AND AGITATED FROM SAID DRUG. BAD DAY TO BE ON AN ADDERALL MY FRIEND!!! WOW!


"How do you know Savannah?"

My great great grandparents first came to America in 1613 from Holland, arriving in the port of New York which at that time was known as New Amsterdam...

...the heroine capital of the world, which is really where it all started. Se heroine is derived from a plant called poppy. This grows in arid climates

"As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster"

@Izzy Chambers 'Why they changed it, i can't say...people just liked it better that wayyy'

If you say it like Grandpa Simpson it sounds funnier... “We had to call it that because the Kaiser stole Amsterdam.”

He gave a whole history in five minutes. Lol

Gotta be extra thorough otherwise they'll think you're guilty.

... and our great great great grandfathers rode chariots together.

It actually started WAaaay before that, with a Big Bang know today as the Big Bang theory.....

Hahaha omg. Sorry for laughing couldn't help

Detective: Tell me how do you know Savanah? 	 Savannah is a girl's name of Spanish origin meaning "flat tropical grassland..........

@Eternal Reign aren't the grandkids of civil war vets and, potentially, a founding fathers grandkids?

Only your great great grandparents in 1613? That would mean you would have to be over 300 years old, at the very least lol. Guilty!

It was a warm summer evening, in Ancient Greece...

Since when did Hispanics come from Holland?

Paul Mallon - I still can't stop laughing......it has been 3 days.

Izzy Chambers i remember hearing it at the domonic monaghan and elijah wood prank interview 😂

@Izzy Chambers Hahaha  The comment-section can be so informative....

Wow I never knew that ny used to be called that

"My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old..."


The cry baby whiny voice of the female detective was fuckin killing me lol 😂

Was probably killing Lee too, coerced him right into a confession with auditory torture


Company policy against couples within the working environment. Firing squad.


24:20 I definitely think that Lee loosened up a bit when the detective said "one day when you have kids". This potentially implies that the suspect will NOT be spending his life behind bars, giving him hope and therefore relaxing him a bit. Very well done by the investigator if it was intentional.

He got 40 years. So it's not completly impossible.

@cutiemod you’re definitely right, but that’s not my point lol

There are plenty of men who killed people (sometimes multiple, but that’s outside of the US), went to jail, got out and had kids (or had kids while in jail through visitations).


Stop making us read text messages were just listening lol


I watch so many of these videos and the one thing in common for those who get caught. You people talk WAY to much. Shut up


Why did you change the title? Nothing wrong with the old one.


Everything is fun and games , until the narrator commits a crime.

@Forrest Estes ahhh thanks for clearing that up

The narrator on this channel is just a narrator, there is a whole team behind these videos doing research and making the script. Plus, if any of you watched Stephanie Lazarus case even the most knowledgeable on the interrogation tactics can behave in weird manners when on the other side of the inspection

turns to the camera in the room
The detective has just attempted to employ a tactic known as..."

*turns to the camera in the room*
The detective has just attempted to employ a tactic known as..."

@Northern green eyes You should check out his channel linked in the description.

@Melvin Pepperdash Whomever he is he is perfect for this
He's to the direct & to the point, overall pleasant,and is firm yet easy to follow.
If that makes sense lol

@Paul Nel the narrator is extremely educated in interrogation tactics and criminal psychology so he would be able to lie his way through an interrogation undetected

@JiMMy and then it becomes the seen from “Inside” where the narrator is now reviewing the review of his narration.

From this point forward at this exact moment…

@Melvin Pepperdash That's true. Don't break the illusion man.

You like caterpillars? Do you eat them? That's Gross!!

You guys know the narrator is a hired talent, right?

@CRYHMNL if you don't I'll do bad things to myse...  others.

@AudioGardenSlave ok thats great. time for your meds

@sirpsychosexy What if they got a new narrator to narrate the confession of this narrator but while in the soundbooth we hear police bursting in to arrest him and after a moment a new narrator is heard and he introduces himself and proceeds to narrate both narrator interrogations. Later he's convicted of...

The narrator is just the narrator reading the script and not actually the maker behind these videos thats jcs

No, the narrator would have gotten a lawyer.

Well i guess what’d happen to him is what he said in his video “The interrogation of Stephanie Lazarus” where he says: “you can know all the rules of the book, but when put in a situation of a crime you committed, fear will overcome you.”

@sirpsychosexy thats why i watch these videos

@Paul Nel he’s saying if the guy that does these videos was guilty of murder, he would be very hard to crack during interrogation

@Duncan L Geoghegan and a greater narrator narrates over his analysis

im confused by this.. what do you mean??

It would be great to watch him narrate his own interrogation... while being interrogated.


The female investigator got on my nerves


How is it I take a picture and my camera shows me every single zit, pimple, blackhead, pore, boil, defect and flaw I've had since BIRTH, yet these businesses have cameras that look like they're filming through a kaleidoscope by an early 2000's Motorola Razor?

Because it's expensive to install a truckload of cameras that have extremely high detail.


People talking crap about the female interrogators pleading with him but fail to realize that they rehearsed how they were going to interrogate him (as mentioned in the video). They went over which cop would play which role, as is the case with all interrogations. She was appealing to his "human" side while the other was more straight forward. This mix of the two interrogation styles is clearly what got the confession. Props to both of these detectives.

@Wes Hannum  never said the plan/script wasn’t well executed, just that it was lousily written. there are many things that would pull on my emotions more successfully than being pleaded to by someone ik is trying to lock me up. that’s the last i’m gonna say on this. nothing against the two detectives, i’m just not fond of pleading in general. especially when it’s towards a criminal/an adversary.

@Pathetic because men in the comments started to use this as an a excuse to tear her down and say that women are too “emotional” it turned misogynistic because they made it that way

@Paz the Pole if a male interrogator broke down in tears and begged we’d be laughing at him and saying he’s a bad actor. Why is it different becaus4 she’s female?

@VegiemisterFTW Are you calling the Stanford prison experiment a "masterfully experiment carried out by research scientists"? Because this experiment was criticized for many, many reasons and probably doesn't deserve this praise.

@Wes Hannum I've been in a situation like that. Granted i didn't murder anyone, but when someone starts acting hysterical with no build up it comes off as fake, and it made me even more closed off. I know it's an act and to me it feels like you're in complete control of your emotions. but then again I didn't murder anyone and every person is different so, good job to both of these detectives.

@VegiemisterFTW yeah but you're also ignoring that the timing of her pleading comes right around when he is caught on a lie. The trap was 100% successful. He was being hit on an emotional level, but he cant just lock up. He's been targeted with lying so he needed something else. That's a ton of pressure, all while being begged and pleaded with to give up where she is. Even if you hold out, how does that look to a jury? It looks like you were beat on the fact of lying, and now you shut down. You would look horrible.

Has little to do with mysgogny whata stupid comment- that’s as stupid as all the ppl saying that the female interrogator was bad...

@Son yes because that masterfully crafted experiment carried out by research scientists is super comparable to this hastily put together interrogation performance.

@VegiemisterFTW  i bet you look at the stanford prison experiment and similar well known experiments and go "i wouldnt act like that!". people like you are so funny lol

@stoopid apples yea i can kinda agree but personally if i was being pleaded to like that, even after everything i’ve already told them, it would remind me that i need to stfu immediately.

@VegiemisterFTW I think it worked pretty excellently. The pleading wasn’t necessarily to get the confession then and there, it was to make him more prone to changing his story.

it’s not that’s she’s a bad interrogator, it’s that it’s a horrible script. especially considering they had time to plan and rehearse.

@revenevan11 Right! And also these are TRAINED professionals. Their job is to get a confession through different interrogation methods, kinda like actors and psychologists mixed in one. They would never let her stay there if her behavior was going to mess with the confession. Plus she didn’t plead the whole time, she chose her moments when she knew it was most affective.

agree. the way she acted was supposed to make you feel uncomfortable and stressed. her lines were cheesy sometimes but i doubt that mattered in the moment...but of course, people seeing a woman act emotional?!? she must be totally incompetent!

It was difficult to watch because I felt like I had to confess something. If this team was interrogating me, I'd definitely break down and tell them everything. They were so coordinated and ruthless! She did a greatjob at wearing him down and reading the situation.

Agreed, a bunch of people who don't know what they're talking about are being pretty misogynistic and calling her a bad interrogator, but failing to realize that <b>they got the confession</b> through their teamwork!

I beat a young woman to death momma......now I have to pay for it...oh momma please help me, I don't feel so good momma


All these "JCS Inspired" channels get to continue uploading while the OG can't even upload anymore. It makes me so angry


He is only crying because he got caught!


Update, if anyone else was wondering: Lee’s been sentenced to 40 years in prison.

@MoonShadeStuff 😂40 years is the least you could get, someone got 90 years and then multiple life in prison sentences on murder and atempted murder.

@Lucien De Rubempré watch the video yourself and stop commenting for time stamps on every one

See… he was crying for nothing. He will be able to wear a chefs coat again.

@You dropped Something The system in Europe in general is disgusting. They treat murderers like victims. And I'm from Europe.

been wondering, scrolling thru comments to find the info. thanks internet!

@MoonShadeStuff 15 only? That’s insane.. a life for 15 years

@MoonShadeStuff 15 only? That’s insane.. a life for 15 years

I came here for this; thank you stranger

I came here for this; thank you stranger

@Brandon Cole To my knowledge, it means the time he served up until and throughout the trial will be deducted from the 40 year total sentence.

@Lucien De Rubempré it’s not in the video. This video was made before his trial you have to look it up

@Warrick Rhode they only charged him with second degree murder because at least from what evidence they had and the defenses story, it was not premeditated. That’s why it’s only 40 years because second degree is a heat of the moment intent to harm not necessarily to kill murder.

@MoonShadeStuff I think I watched that once with my family. If not it was a different but similar documentary.  Extremely interesting to see the cultural differences between the US and the EU, specifically Germany. I do agree,  the German inmates had WAY less repeat offenders with the German model of incarceration.

@Warrick Rhode thank you for your insights, that’s basically what I told @COLDSTEEL production in German a few comments ago. I’ve gathered as much from American reports about the justice system.

@MoonShadeStuff You have to remember that the American prison system is privatized and not designed to rehabilitate people. It's designed to create hardened criminals by treating them like animals. That way there's a higher chance they'll commit crime again after release, leading to another prison sentence which earns the prison more money. They're literally financially incentivized to abuse the prisoners, and the cultural propaganda teaching kids from a young age to consider "criminals" as if they're born evil means there's not a lot of people demanding change inside of the country.

@Lucas Vasques Just think about how much the world has changed since 2017. 40 years in prison is insane and inhuman.

@SarcyseTiranin it's a valid point of view. The way I see it, it's a difference in culture, which in turn defines the primary goal of our different justice systems. Nobody is wrong or right, you can only look at the outcomes and ask, is this the outcome we really wanted to achieve with this system.

From my point of view, in general (not murder specifically), it's better to have less harsh sentences, but give the people opportunities and programs that help them become a functioning member of society once they served their sentence. It might not be the point of view of the victims but really 15 years is a reasonable amount of punishment, people probably don't realize what it does to a person if you take 15 years of their life away from them. I think society as a whole doesn't profit all that much from unreasonably long and harsh sentences. Every day they are imprisoned it costs us money and I'd rather have people be punished and then come back on their feet and contribute to society and the economy again.

On the notion of capital punishment, I'm glad we don't have that in our system at all. I believe a society shouldn't kill people as a form of punishment. People, even the worst ones, have human rights. And in our constitution, article 2 it says: "Every person shall have the right to life and physical integrity."

@MoonShadeStuff I'm not going to say American criminal law is better or worse than Germany, I don't know enough about your country to form a informed opinion. I simply believe that the murdered are owed vengeance from society in the form of capital punishment of their murderer. I think that most murdered people would desire retributive justice and are owed it.

@SarcyseTiranin the system in Germany is built around the idea of rehabilitation rather than revenge / eye for an eye. There is a good video explaining it better called “Germany, low crime, clean prisons, lessons for America” that goes into that philosophy and shows some numbers that I think show it’s a successful system.

I don’t want to act like we’re the “best”, there are other countries in Europe that have similar systems and of course all systems have their problems.

However, when someone is actually deemed “beyond redemption” that person can still be locked up indefinitely.

It said with time served, does that mean he got out on his court date or that time just counted toward his 40 years? Cause I know when they say your sentencing the normally always suspend some. Wondering if he got time served

@s they probs just leave me alone. Unless they know what he did to her, then they’ll likely give him hell

wow he’ll be in his 60’s when he gets out? i don’t know much about what they do in prison but how do they treat old people in there?

@Marco I believe you only do a percentage of the 40yrs but it may be different for a murder charge

@SarcyseTiranin I agree 40 years is not enough. The man will be 68 when he comes out and can potentially live up 90 to 100 years old in peace

@MoonShadeStuff I'm shocked murder isn't an automatic life sentence. I mean you took a life, seems fair to take the killers life, albeit by imprisonment rather than execution.

@COLDSTEEL productions Einen sehr wichtigen Aspekt habe ich schon genannt. Im Gegensatz zu Deutschland gibt es in den USA eine extrem hohe Gefangenenquote (relativ zu der Bevölkerungszahl) und eine extrem hohe Quote an Entlassenen Straftätern die Rückfällig werden. Teilweise weil es in Deutschland so etwas gibt wie Programme die Gefangenen vor und nach der Entlassung helfen ein normales Leben aufzubauen, teilweise weil es in den USA durch die Privatgefängnisse monetäre Interessen gibt, Gefangene so lange wie möglich im Gefängnis zu halten und nicht zu rehabilitieren, sodass sie nach der Entlassung möglichst bald wieder im Gefängnis landen und die Investoren Kohle kriegen. Das heißt übrigens nicht dass da weniger Steuergelder drauf gehen da immer noch jemand für die Gefangenen zahlen muss UND das Gefängnis muss Profit machen. Du kannst dir vorstellen, die Steuerlast in den USA zur Unterbringung so vieler Gegangener ist enorm. Das ganze hat System und läuft ziemlich korrupt ab, da gibt es Richter die den Gefängnissen zuarbeiten und härtere Strafen verhängen bzw Leute wegen Kleinigkeiten einbuchten.

Dann hat natürlich die USA ebenfalls viel größere Probleme mit Verbrechen als das in Deutschland der Fall ist, die härteren Strafen haben in der Praxis keine abschreckende Wirkung. Es gibt aber noch weitere Aspekte, such auf YouTube am besten nach „germany low crime, clean prisons, lessons for America“. Die haben da noch ein paar Zahlen zusammen getragen die interessant sein dürften. Ein Blick in ein Beitrag von John Oliver lohnt auch „John Oliver prison“. Kann leider nicht direkt verlinken da YouTube sonst den Kommentar als Spam löscht.

@MoonShadeStuff Ja?  Hau mal raus welche Probleme die USA im Gegensatz zu D haben?  Über diesen Unterschied bin ich ja mal bestens gespannt jetzt.

@COLDSTEEL productions es ist ganz einfach, der Erfolg gibt uns recht. Schau wie viele Probleme die USA haben mit ihrem Justizsystem aus Härte ohne Wiedereingliederung und Privatgefängnissen und schau wie wenig Probleme wir im Vergleich haben. Gibt ne Rückfallquote entlassener Gefangener, Vergleiche da mal USA und Deutschland. Philosophieren über die besten Ansätze kann man viel, was zählt sind die Fakten.

Btw wäre gut wenn du Leute nicht gleich beleidigst wenn die eine andere Meinung haben.

@COLDSTEEL productions Erzähl doch bitte nicht so einen Stuss. Mörder erhalten grundsätzlich die lebenslange Freiheitsstrafe, die hat für Steuerhinterziehung noch niemand bekommen. Da ist die Höchststrafe auch nur 5 Jahre, in extremen Fällen 10 Jahre (die bis heute auch noch nie ausgesprochen wurden).

Dass man ab 15 Jahren bei einer lebenslangen Freiheitsstrafe frei kommen kann, ist auch nicht in Stein gemeißelt. Diese Möglichkeit gebietet aber die in unserer Verfassung festgehaltene Menschenwürde, die gilt nämlich auch für Täter. Nicht selten dauert es länger oder es gibt, in gravierenden Fällen, anschließende Sicherungsverwahrung.

Und man kann sich auch fragen, ob eine tatsächliche lebenslange Freiheitsstrafe (bis zum Tod) sinnvoll ist oder ob man nach 15-20 Jahren nicht als völlig neuer Mensch aus dem Gefängnis kommt und stattdessen einen Dienst an der Gesellschaft leistet. Härtere Strafe schrecken niemanden ab und sie bringen die Opfer auch nicht zurück. Der Einzige, der damit bedient ist, ist der Bürger, der sich in seinen Rachegedanken etwas mehr bestätigt fühlt.

@COLDSTEEL productions Naja, da bin ich auch ganz froh drum, also dass es bei unserem Justizsystem nicht primär um Rache geht, um "eye for an eye" oder darum Privatgefängnisse zu füllen und den Investoren Geld zu verschaffen, sondern um Rehabilitation von Tätern und einer möglichen Wiedereingliederung in die Gesellschaft. Da passt das Zitat ganz gut: "A society should be judged not by how it treats its outstanding citizens but by how it treats its criminals."

@MoonShadeStuff Man kann in Amerika auch sein ganze Leben weggesperrt werden, oder auch zu Tode verurteilt, dagegen ist Deutschland die reinste Kuscheljustiz, wo Steuerhinterzieher härter bestraft werden wie Mörder.

wow, you can be sentenced to 40 years in America? That’s crazy! A single murder would be 15 years here in Germany, unless the judge comes to the conclusion it was especially gruesome or that there is no reason to believe you’ll stop murdering after that time. Then the sentence can be longer, but that’s more of an exception.

thanks kind stranger... i started watching this over a year old video yesterday and you posted the answer to the question i eventually would have while i slept. we are totally connected in a weird way.

Damn...he killed her in 2017 and only got sentenced now....40 years in prison is a long time and if he lives the world is gonna be completely different... it's crazy to think about that


It's touched on in the video. He didn't want her blabbing to management that they were seeing each other. It was probably just an argument that spun out of control.


Bonefish Grill * out of *****. Food was decent. Nothing to write home about. My Buffalo Jalapeno Ranch was a bit cold when they it got to table. Was originally going to leave a two star review on account of the manager/head chef clumsily murdering his ex girlfriend in the parking lot in broad daylight while I was finishing my cheesy ranch dressing bowl, but I noticed that he had been freshly UNSCABBED, and it's difficult not to recognize that level of culinary commitment and it really bumped it up to three.

Most restaurants in the Jacksonville area leave their entire staff FULLY scabbed, and I have to be honest, when you dine in a "SCAB FREE" restaurant, there really IS a noticeable difference in the quality and overall experience and it's honestly refreshing to see a head chef with the experience to take that seriously. Your average Jacksonville chef will maybe...MAAAAAYBE pick their scabs off in the shower before work, but do you think they're going to go back, 4 hours later, and pick those very same scabs off when they reform later during their shift? UNLIKELY! And that's the Bonefish Grill DIFFERENCE!

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go never eat in a restaurant for the rest of my life

Update as of 2/5/2021: He was denied his self defense claims and still rots under the prison where he belongs.

@Poopin Fruz don’t know who put the day first... usually you care about the month first and then the day.

@Poopin Fruz it’s just easier to say February fifth, not “on the fifth day of February.” In the USA, we are all about making sense. No one here walks around saying “listen to this crazy story, ok so it was the fifth of ...well I can’t remember the month”. Month is a lot more descriptive and therefor it comes first when dating an important event. If it’s in that same month you are talking about, then the date is more important. When you tell a story, and start off with “back in January....” does anyone interrupt and say, “yeah man, I get that, but was it the first, the third, the fifteenth?” No! Hence we add that in after mentioning the moth. It’s much easier to orient yourself on a monthly calendar than picturing a daily calendar when talking about past events. There’s a fifth in every month so easier to just mention the month first.

@Poopin Fruz Likely some normal person who says February 5th and not the 5th of February.

@Joseph You can write posts in the future?! Teach me, oh blessedly educated one!

@LeAnn S I believe his sentence was agreed at 40 years but official sentencing won't be until March 11th.

He got 40 years. This means he'll be 70 when he's released.

@Joseph That date hasn't occurred yet, so you're speaking from the future... (by the US system)

Good, I was looking for this comment xD. Let him rot in prison

Good, I was looking for this comment xD. Let him rot in prison

@Abayomrunkoje Musa if i was in that situation, my life is destroyed the second i kill someone, whether or not it was accidental

@Joseph My European brain should know that 2nd of May hasn't happened yet but still I had to rethink the date

@Tony Stankard Although I had to read your comment twice (😅), that's quite interesting. I never knew that about the Bible or that about the Europeans (I'm assuming). I guess you're never too old to learn something new. 😊 Thanks for sharing.

@John Gribbin Has the full interrogation been released?

@John Gribbin Has the full interrogation been released?

@Tony Stankard oh ok that's makes sense thanks for explaining it to me! I'm from Pennsylvania and haven't heard anybody use that phrase or if I have never really noticed lol

@Jodi Delong that's a really common phrase down here in the south seems kinda crazy that you've never heard it before lol but if u just get put IN jail, there's a chance (however good that chance might be) that you will get out. U might get a bond or paroled or finish your sentence or break out etc. But if u get put UNDER the jail, there is no door out. Maybe ur buried under the jail or whatever. People say that meaning u should get put in jail and never have a chance to get out

@LeAnn S and p.s. it's like that with everything in latin based languages not just age but anything like we say I am hungry or I am old or I am beautiful or strong or anything else. In a lot of other languages anything that describes your body is something that u have, it's not something you are. They don't think of your characteristics as something you become, it's something you acquire. And if u think about it it's kind of a better way to look at things lol

@LeAnn S crazy right? How bout this one. The Bible was originally written in Hebrew. The word "soul" does not even exist in the Hebrew language. A soul is a relatively new concept. How much does that change the whole idea if Christianity lol. We just take all this stuff for granted. The word soul was added to the Bible when translated so it would conform and confirm modern philosophies. There's billions of other things like that we take for granted are unanimous across languages and cultures and don't realize how unique and localized a lot of our characteristics are. I have a friend from chile and when u ask how tall is someone he puts his hand out to show u how tall they are by turning his hand straight up and down like u would to shake hands. The top of his thumb is their height lol. Imagine not being able to barely speak his language trying to gesture to him how tall someone is. Ud think that would be pretty universal lol but he has no idea what you are talking about because your hand is turned sideways to him haha

@LeAnn S March 10th or 11th 2021, I think that is what I read. He plead Guilty to her Murder.

@Tony Stankard Woah! You just put my head in a little spin! 😆

@Tony Stankard Woah! You just put my head in a little spin! 😆

@Abayomrunkoje Musa Oh please.. unintentional my ass! His actions were intentional! Had he mistankingly hurt her, he wouldn't have intentionally tried getting rid of the evidence. Common sense must not be so common in your little realm, eh?!

I’m honestly dumbfounded by this guy, but he does deserve to be in prison

I’m honestly dumbfounded by this guy, but he does deserve to be in prison

@Joseph i agree with you  day month year is the way it should be

@Joseph i agree with you  day month year is the way it should be

Quick question: why do don't people use the phrase "under the prison" to mean in prison? I've never heard it before but I've recently seem quite a few people in the comment sections of videos like this say it. I'm just curious where it comes from

@Joseph For all the sane people who use the actual ISO standard way of writing dates, it is 2021-02-05 if we are talking about what Americans call February 5th, 2021. I think it is fine for archiving purposes to write 20210205 in digital filenaming and add the "-" for legibility in writing, but to not start with the biggest unit and go to smaller seems weird, especially in digital filenames (if you start with the month for example, you get all january dates from every year first and so on, while YYYYMMDD kind of auto-organizes by date when sorting alphabetically). Anyway, long story short, people should really use YYYY-MM-DD everywhere.

@Poopin Fruz because we write the date in the order that we say it verbally: most people over here would say "February 5th, 2021" rather than "the 5th of February, 2021".<br>EDIT: oh, someone beat me to it. But yea, it's just an insignificant little cultural difference; not something to get worked up over or have strong feelings about, as I see in some of these other comments lol.

@Scars, rust, & pixie dust that's crazy. Learn something new everyday. But there are several things like that that we take for granted are the same in different cultures. Like in English we say I am 33 years old. In Spanish u say I have 33 years. Age is something u have it's something u own opposed to something u literally are. So the meaning of something like years of life is completely different.

@Refiki when you throw out a lot of line you're going to catch a spoiler fish

@Skunkskie Stink most Europeans would say "it's the fifth of February, 2021" so that is how they would write it. 5-2-2021

@Poopin Fruz it’s because when you speak you say it month day year “it’s February 5th, 2021”

@Abayomrunkoje Musa yeah I totally go around killing people with my bare hands and sometimes ha trouble determining if I killed them. Totally understandable 🙄

@Abayomrunkoje Musa Just number one rule don't put your hands on people it's that simple.
Self defense will prove itself no need to run.
But hey man, whatever lets you sleep at night bro

Grr i spoiled myself for the conclusion:(

Grr i spoiled myself for the conclusion:(

@Tori mhhhm So only a sicko can dispose a body the way he did? I mean have you even been in a situation where you killed someone? Is it not possible that the fear of the consequences can drive you to do things that you never believed you can do. If i killed someone unintentionally, i would probably do what he did, not because im a sicko, it's because i would do anything to avoid destroying my life, im 100 percent sure many people would do the same thing, or did you really think people will just hand themselves in to the police station and destroy the rest of their lives?

@Abayomrunkoje Musa you must be joking. Whether it was intentional or not, he burned her body then threw her in a lake. Only a sicko could do something like that. Also 75% her body suffered wounds and she was seen trying to get out of the car three times - thats not "accidental".  Save your moral compass and stick it somewhere else other than his ass.

What he did was unforgivable! But let's not make fun of him. The reality is we don't know if he actually intentionally killed her. You can end up killing someone unintentionally, and then you will have people making fun of you while you rot in jail, think about that! Anything can happen tomorrow, maybe you will be in the same position as him, think about that!

yup there's no way he could state it was self defence if it showed her trying to get out of the car three times.

He's rotting under a prison?  Yeah, ok then...

@Arbiter of Truth OhI thought they were still talking about day/month format lol. The comment talking about how people outside the U.S tell time was really confusing and I’m not sure why it was brought up, so chill out we’re on the same side

I don't think a lengthy response is a giveaway of anything. There are quite a lot of people who would happily talk for hours after being given an open-ended question.

I also doubt I would seem innocent if I asked "why are you asking me that?" or the like.


He should have said he went and bought heroin with her, that would explain the lies, also he should have said he takes aspirin and thats why the cut didnt heal.

Why do you think he should've said such things?


ppl destroying there life for no good reason


Thank God he is stupid, because I rekon a good defense attorney could have caused reasonable doubt in atleast 1 juror.


“How long have you known Savannah?”

Lee: So basically my mom was addicted to meth

"where is Savannah?"

A rodeo clown raped me once... I accidentally popped his neck

"where is Savannah?"

*A rodeo clown raped me once... I accidentally popped his neck*

@Kut Throat Well that's interesting. I wonder if its the same for dexamphetamine. Nevertheless he'd have been assuming as I did. Any amphetamine will test the same. And if they have to send it to a lab for a more rigorous test, why bother if he has given a reasonable excuse for a positive?  Its half alibi half bluff... so... it's an alibluff.

@Skepticus Maximus this is absolutely wrong. A lab can tell the difference between meth and adderall  I take adderall and when I get drug tested at work it shows a failure and they have to send it to a lab to be tested and see if it’s meth or a prescription amphetamine.

So, bungee gum has properties of both rubber and gum...

@Andy Gygi I guess the thinking is that, if I'm totally forthcoming with something relatively petty, they'll assume I'm honest about the alibi or denial of the murder. Trouble is he didn't even set himself up very well for that line either.

People please... Always always, get a lawyer and STFU. Oh and try not to kill other folks.

@Skepticus Maximus it’s also kinda hilarious how easily this dude admits to crimes lmao. They got him to literally confess to MURDER in under an hour, and he admitted a crime on the first damn question they asked him with the drugs.

Also, did anyone notice that he covered his tracks for any suspicion that he might have an ongoing amphetamine habit, by admitting he'd taken an Adderal (legal prescription drug), an event so rare he'd only ever done it once before.  Now had they tested him, he'd have the least incriminating alibi for testing positive. Later in the story we find he dabbled but 'stepped back'. Once he had to admit to driving away with Savannah, he again contradicted himself in admitting they did drugs.

I'd guess he had a full on habit tbh.

@Mike Kubachka adderall and meth are not the same regardless of what ppl say

<b>sigmund Freud has entered the chat</b>


Why the fuck did this guy kill her though


Not my emotional ass feeling sorry for him 🙄


"She slapped me and I was afraid to be the first man slapped to death by a tiny lady, I had to defend myself. I fought for my life against those slaps, with just one neck grab, and her neck just snapped. 😔 I didn't mean for this to happen..."<br>Such a crazy case, so interesting getting to see an actual reaction after his confession. Your work is so fantastic, thank you!

Don't know if you have been hit in the face repeatably by someone you could kill with one hand but it is hard not to hit back and if you are an idiot with no will power you are going to kill them.  Fight or flight is a hard instinct to overwrite. I am not saying that  is what happened.

@StainMane I don't think it's what happened but it isn't impossible. People seem to think that no man would be scared by a girl attacking them. It's a pretty ignorant and outdated belief.

@Free Candy the door opening and closing 3 times makes me think of a long struggle.  He is not LEnny from of mice and men.

It isn't unrealistic. For people that don't get in fights, blows to the face are really shocking. You just freeze up and and engage flight or fight and I think he could have throttled her to death easily.


The lady detective makes me cringe!! so obviously being fake lol I mean I get that’s her job but still 😂


Not only did this guy brutally murder the girl (probably by 5 or more minutes of strangulation), but now he's trying to assassinate her character by calling her a drug addict that "attacked him" and made him "afraid for his life". How does this guy even stand living with himself?

@Oscar Patino its longevity in your system is shorter than you'd think. However an addict would need it to constantly be in their system. Doesn't mean they weren't withdrawing or trying to kick tho.

I Immediately thought his reasoning for explaining her as a drug addict was to create a red herring. If he could convince them that she was a drug addict, it might have been a dealer somehow somewhere that would have killed her, freeing him from the spotlight.

Whether or not that is the case.. i cant know!

@Olli Rolli because he's besmirching the character of a woman he murdered

I’m not arguing that he is good, or even that he’s not deplorable, but I will say: in his position, with such limited options, (NOT legally speaking) it makes sense & I don’t think I nor other men are above scrabbling at the sides  when the tank fills up with water.

That story about her attacking him, must be what his attorney suggested him to say

@arbj That does not really mean she was not a drug addict.

A human mind does things on its own in high distress. You could be doing the same if you killed her. Its your brain trying to rescue YOU


watching every video for mr beast 1 billion dollar among us tournment


Do you know Savannah?

"Once upon a time in America...."


JCS is the most criminally underated channel on YouTube.

big facts bro. like i gotta clean my house and i just discovered this channel and  now boredom will not be a problem


Hat backwards, to one side, really? In my opinion? Do not ask!


34:00  don't kill someone then stupid. This is beyond pathetic.


Lord not another one from Jacksonville.. i may need to move.


Detective was straight up a fucking viper with “what happened to your neck?”

He dropped that so quickly, I put my hand to my own neck, looking for a scratch!

@Sveenu Vipers are a type of venomous snake known for striking their pray with lightning speed.

@Lucien De Rubempré  It happens at 19:27.  My man detective was fucking sharp

Period. Ain't nobody playing with you boy.


Good news bad news situation.
Good news, they got chefs in prison cuz.
Bad news, it’s one of best gigs in there no way homebois gonna let you do shit you killed a woman you maniac.


how ironic, im cooking while watching this


They cracked this in under an hour, I must admit I'm really impressed with both detectives

@Julie Exel That's not entirely <i>why</i> it worked. Lee is a dopey cookie, and his lies were immediately called out and ripped apart. It wasn't just the woman's terribad acting that worked, just the fact that they punched through his bullshit.

@Julie Exel That's not entirely _why_ it worked. Lee is a dopey cookie, and his lies were immediately called out and ripped apart. It wasn't just the woman's terribad acting that worked, just the fact that they punched through his bullshit.

@Julie Exel Of course it worked, but she didn't need to be loud and obnoxious about it.

@NoEscapeEver “Overdid her performance” yeah dude it was totally just a performance... missed the part when she mentioned she was a mother? Or maybe just extremely sympathetic and worried about Savanna? Was not just a performance...

This is a shorter version of the interrogation

Yeaaah... that woman overdid her performance.

It was good work... but still was a solved case. maybe it was closed right after he said she got in his car that day/ maybe even from before the interrogation.

Nah it was the adderall that did most the work 🤣👀

nah suspect is just an idiot, should have asked if they try to make him guilty and ask for lawyer

Would had been sooner if he didn't give such LOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG answers

@Baba booey boi I see what you did there..fucked up for sure but.. I see ya😭

they cracked it in 20min, because they caught him lying, because they know she never left the car, and he says she left the car


He should to not talked to the police . Tell them you are not talking without a lawyer . They have a video but you would be a free man if you don’t open your mouth . They had evident  on me but I told the police I’m not going to talk without a lawyer . I was arrested attempted murder I bailed myself out and the da never picked up the charges due to lack of Evidence. They need that confession to convict you without a reasonable doubt . They don’t have a confession 65% of the time they gonna free your guilty ass


I just wanna say Bone Fish Grill is delicious 🙌🏾
