Thank you guys for pushing me over 1k subs in just a few weeks! Your comments have been a big encouragement, more content to come!

Literally just pulled the "This you?" and the guy RAN

"To those who have accidentally killed someone. What went wrong?" I think everything went wrong if you accidentally killed someone

FBI: *posts thread about "accidental" killings* "This is so stupid I can't believe the suits think this'll actually wor-"

That's so crazy that someone could make some really vague, nearly detail-free murder confession and somebody could come along and straight name drop the kid that is likely to be the victim like that

Finally someone that doesn’t use that dumb robot voice, when doing a Reddit video.

When I was 13 I saw someone get talked out of jumping off of a cell tower. The negotiator told him to slowly climb down the rungs and on the first step he took to climb down the wind pushed him off balance and fell to his death. It was horrifyingly disturbing. God rest his soul.

I’m guessing the redditor lied, but when a similar real case was brought up he deleted it cause he didn’t wanna accidentally confess to a murder he didn’t commit

imagine being 10 and you watch someone fall from a great height and land on the ground in a pool of blood in an ‘awkward position’

it doesn't feel like they killed him, he was up high throwing things at them, it was just an accident. but i guess actually seeing it happen would give a sense of guilt

He points out that he didn't know what happened to the boy after they left, but the full scale search probably would have been noticeable

- "Yeah, so we saw some random kid falling for his death years ago, but that's nothing, no one remembers it" - "Oh, you mean Scott?" - *"Oh shi-"*

As the older brother of a mentally handicapped 8 year old this breaks my heart. I hear stories like this and it freaks me out that I cant always be with him and keep him safe 100% of the time.

The worst part is...when they develop an area the remains of a six year old child can easily be missed when bulldozers, front end loaders and backhoes are digging in the ground to RELOCATE the soil. I recall a time when they developed an area that once had over 500 acres of livestock farms and trust me when I say animal bones do indeed get relocated. If noticed during any stage of the development process (including but not limited to soil relocation process) then work is halted to ensure they are in fact animal and not human remains. So, there is a good chance the soil from that particular area could have been relocated hundreds of miles away.

Did it ever occur to anyone, that someone just searched up old missing person cases, read the specifics, then reverse engineered a falsified story of murder to troll a bunch of people on Reddit? I mean anyone could do this at any time, as long as an AskReddit about it comes up. I mean how perfect that a random person out of all the missing disabled child cases in the 80s would bring up the only case that very conveniently aligns to be plausible for this story.

Please don't stop making these kind of unknown/unresolved mysteries! You reminds me of Nexpo! You'll gonna be big soon!

You actually can find dead bodies even decades later. I may pass this along to a HRD handler that's not far away. One of the dogs I bred does this.

Clearly the original story by the redditguy and the actual missing kid story are totally unrelated. Clearly the original guy has no idea what happened to the kid they left behind and even says they started playing again at that place a month later, while in the actual missing kid story the whole town was up in roar a couple hours later, helicopters flying about, everyone looking STILL to this day too, police investigating. I'm mean all those kids have parents who of course knew where their kids have built their little fort even though the kids think its a super secret special base far far away into the deep jungle. So if the kid who fell and the kid who went missing were the same, the kid who ran WOULD have known about it.

Kids tend to not tell anything indeed. I have similar event in the past when my friend (my junior in my elementary school) drowned in sea and died while playing with my other friends (I am not there). When they knew my junior was drowned, they went home and told nothing about it until the body of my junior has been found. I personally witnessed the body, the body was swollen and turned purple and his mouth 'spit' (because it showed like he is alive and try to spit) water continuously. When they saw the body, then one of them told his mother about that tragic event while crying. He said he was too scared to tell anybody and he said it happened around 3 days earlier (I have vague memory about the exact days, but the body is not yet destroyed). Maybe if the body was never found, they still keep quiet about it and resume their life without talking about it.

WTF I literally grew up playing at Fox Hill Park everyday, and I never knew about this. I would walk there after school and play around in the woods and lakes until it got dark. I can literally see my old house in the picture on the map. This is crazy, I can’t believe I never knew about this :((

You’re like the dark version of Internet historian

I think its more likely the OP made the post with the intention of deleting the account as soon as he posted it just to be safe. It’s entirely possible that the OP never even saw the comment asking about Scott but because he deleted it so quickly people assumed that this highly rated comment had been the catalyst as the account was deleted long before they had come across the thread.

You forgot to mention the tall chair on the edge of the cliff.

Dude, You're really good at having a level head looking at all of these "mysteries" and all that.

I cannot be the only one to think that the person that deleted his account isn't guilty for the death, "He Fell", the 3 kids didn't push him or kill him, he fell, the only thing they are guilty about is that they didn't confess they saw him but they wouldn't have got into trouble for it, they were kids, propably scared of what they saw.

"Number 16, the redditors dark confession.."

Plot twist: Some guy just googled a missing person’s case, and gave vague details on the process of the kid’s death, saying they witnessed it but never came forward as a reddit post confession . Then made another account and said the missing person’s name affiliated with the case he googled on said reddit post. Then he deleted the first account to make it seem like he was exposed. So that he could appear mysterious and fool reddit by acting as someone involved with the case.

Plot twist :The guy who commented the name on the original post is him

When I was 16 I was hanging out with a bunch of friends in an abandoned walgreens. This homeless older drunk man confessed to accidentally hitting someone in a dwi hit and run. He never got caught but he gave up driving ever since and became homeless. The man kept retelling this and other stories, making me realize he probably had altziemers. This was sad...

i love how he says "have a good night" after telling the entire story lmao

When I was 4 years old or so I was out playing across in the street with some kids from around the block, there were 2 guys talking across the street and a car pulled up and shot them both and drove away extremely fast in broad daylight and I just stared in shock, my mom came out of the house yelling at me to get inside. Those things stick with you

The first hand account is so chilling as a kid there were several times where one of us would get hurt and as soon as blood was seen it would get so quiet and everyone would do the look like r we gonna say anything or stay silent

That doesn’t sound like a murder, he accidentally lost his footing or grip and fell, if anything it would be involuntary manslaughter

after 10 minutes I almost believed you were pronouncing Kleeschulte correctly.

There can never be too many of these types of channels on KZfaq. I have an insatiable need for mysteries, especially ones revolving around the internet.

Perhaps finding as many people possible who were children living in that area at the time and speaking with them now that time has passed, might uncover something that no one wanted to admit as children. As an adult, understanding it was accidental and that the family deserves closure, I would think someone would want to come forward.

"It gets pretty fuzzy here but all I remember is he fell." Like hell he fell.

"it gets fuzzy" It's probably him not wanting to admit there was an altercation that caused the fall. As 80 kids if someone is in your fort hucking dirt at you, youre gonna be doing at least aome kind of roughness. "all I remember is he fell" Sure

But how many kids went missing in the 80’s? I feel like the initial post was too vague to find anything concrete

“We didn’t go back till at least a month”....you went back to chill like nothin happened?!

If they ran away after he fell then would it not be possible he wasn't dead? If he had head trauma he could have wondered off dazed and confused and ended up anywhere with the storm erasing any traces of him...

As a person who struggled with learning disabilities in elementary school, I can't help but feel a little sympathy for Scott.

I know I've heard this story before on another channel, but I like the editing on this video better. It doesn't come off as trying to be "2spoopy4me" as much while still being interesting.

Is it possible that the boy was still living after impact and managed to drag himself away, disorientated by the storm? Kids have an understandable tendency to exaggerate traumatic memories after all. I don’t know, just an idea.

How is your voice so calming yet terrifying at the same time

Weird being recommended this video. I literally live in that neighborhood. I was listening while falling asleep and things felt weird when I could picture where he was talking about. Literally 4 minutes from my house currently and the first house I grew up in was on KEN Dr. my uncle was friends with the kid who went missing. 🤯

Barely sociable blowing up. Don’t go & start a cult

Your style is great. Not over the top spoopy, well edited and your narration is easy to listen to.

Imagine being OP and actually telling the truth purposely leaving out the search parties stuff to remain anonymous and someone busts a “This you” just for KZfaq comment sections to say that it’s a hoax and you faked the entire thing for attention after deleting your account.

Nobody's talking about how you could easily murder the kid and make up this story so you aren't blamed.

Sounds like a Stephen King novel.

My heart aches for that boy's family. I sincerely hope the child in that post wasn't Scott, but it it was... I hope they can put his body to rest soon.

i was 10 in the early 80s and i remember it being standard procedure that when a kid got hurt we typically all ran away to keep from getting in trouble somehow. someone would have told the truth about what happened though so running never saved you from anything. this is a really sad story though, i feel so sorry for what happened to scott.

Oh my god! I remember this happening! I live in Missouri, in the exact same town this happened in. It freaked everyone out and got a local scare going. Nothing ever came of the scare, obviously. This is crazy, if it's true, which it sounds like it does. This is fucking crazy.

Since the family is till looking for the kid, has anyone ever come forth about how a Redditor possibly revealed his fate?

This is actually incredibly sad...

Scott Kleeschulte went to the same school as me, but before I was alive.

This channel is way too addictive. I love it.

I was about to say that an anonymous confession to the area LEA by OP would be a good start considering he & his friends didn't kill or hurt him. But considering how Scott was never found, maybe they'd want him to help locate the area. There's a small chance this was just some anonymous a-hole finding a case & faking a confession to delete his account after a user figured out the victim, but... I don't think that's the case. It's sad that none of the other boys ever came forward as they grew up. Makes me wonder how many other vanishings could be solved if witnesses of extortionless accidents stepped up--which is easy to say, of course, but these guys may worry about a trial, evidence, or media exposure putting their family & children at risk. By 'evidence,' I just have to include the dark possibility that at least one of OP's friends (if not OP) did something like hit Scott in the head hard enough to leave lasting evidence to the skeleton. Just because we're 'positive' something couldn't possibly have lasted that long underground, doesn't mean OP does.

This whole video is predicated on the idea that deleting the video is some kind of admission of fault, but that's not the case. This is clearly unrelated, just on the basis of the distances being talked about and the use of bloodhounds unable to track the body despite the child not being lost in the woods or wandering off, as well as the reality that the body wouldn't have been very easily hidden by the storm given the description of the terrain in the original post. More than likely the reply made the user realize that they had already said too much because any response would simply invite a larger guessing game or worse.

your voice brings a lot of comfort! it’s calming and brings a nice atmosphere!

I never knew I needed this channel!!

Finally KZfaq algorithm got it right. Genuinely interesting channel my dude.

It's a terrible situation, but I really like your content here. So much scary things online are planned...this wasn't

You've become one of my favorite channels, and your covering of the silk road was amazing man! And the silent hill music 👌 awesome!

Dude, I love how deep you get into these cases, this is so interesting qnd you have my full attention.

It's nice to see a comment section full of non-8-year-olds for godamn once Edit: But these replies are.

3:55 Jesus Christ didn’t expect it to be in my goddamn hometown

Reddit should have the IP of the poster who deleted their post in their logs

Cool to see this kind of content from someone who's articulate enough to actually read the content without making a ton of mistakes or using a TTS

That "deleted" reddit account should still be able to be tracked, the IP should still be in the database.

It doesn’t seem likely to me that OP wouldn’t have noticed such a large search party

I just discovered this channel waaaay too late man. Subscribed! This is the quality content I come to KZfaq for.

Oh hell. I just discovered this channel and I am hooked. This is top shelf stuff. Keep it coming. 👌

It's heartbreaking to know they had hope he was just missing and they've made those digital age differences in efforts for anyone to find him but he actually died that night and no one was ever able to recover his body because of the horrible storm.

I don't know if I believe they're connected. We had areas we played in like that as children as well. They didn't become raging rivers when there was a storm, they'd just turn into big muddy messes, full of puddles. Not enough to sweep a body away or cover it enough to where it wouldn't be found if looked for. The girl said she saw him playing on the mound, so I'm sure they searched the last place he was seen, and the boys said they didn't go back there for a month. When they went back they didn't see a body, I'm assuming? Just doesn't fit to me.

As a parent of an autistic child this is probably one of my top three biggest fears I am a helicopter parent and so is my wife it's exhausting but we love him so much he's non-verbal and has a tendency to run away I can't imagine how much the parents punish themselves for this i literally started crying thinking about my baby being there dying alone and scared why do people have to be so awful to others

This guy's video quality is so good I thought he's been in making videos like this for years

Michael Devlin was my pizza delivery man and lived a block away from me while holding Shawn Hornbeck for several years. I still can’t believe the time my family ordered IMO’s and I opened the door to Michael Devlin as, like, a 6 year old girl. Gives me the creeps to this day...

I strongly agree with your hypothesis, the way you laid it out at the end made it seem likely, but there was one inconsistency you left out, which for me actually cements the OP's story as legit. The OP claimed to not have any knowledge of what happened after the incident, he claimed that there was _probably_ some local story about an accident. To me it would be incredible for anyone to not be curious about the aftermath of an incident like this, and I'm sure anyone who made an incident like this up WOULd give details on what happened after. I'm quite certain that he left out the details of the search party and the still missing status of Kleechultee in order to stay anonymous, and if it was all fake he would have just carried on making something up.

I've never checked out these kind of videos before but after watching this I'm hooked.

This sounds more like a David Paulides Missing 411 story. Where someone goes missing and then the weather interrupts when they are searching for the missing person.

At 2:35 he says "We didn't go back for over a month", wouldn't this imply that he did go back? And if he did he would have seen the body and I got the impression that he didn't from the comment as he didn't mention it. But he could have just meant that they returned to the same area or just not have mentioned it in the comment so who knows?

Okay this really isn't relevant but the silent hill music is so soothing

Nexpo is my favorite KZfaq channel, so you can imagine how excited I was when I found this channel

This is a crazy and upsetting video, great job in addressing it! Subbed :)

Hey man, I've just spent my day watching all of your content after having just discovered you today. The level of research you put in is excellent and your perspectives on the subject matter are very well informed as a result, making for super enjoyable and easy to watch videos. If I had to leave any advice all I'd say is maybe try to fill the visual gaps between evidence and source material; the moving backdrop is alright for digesting what you're saying, but considering this is in video format I think keeping eyes on your video (even just showing evidence from earlier) is good for holding viewer interest. I hope that made sense/was helpful, keep up the good work man : )

I hope somebody contacted the police on this lead.. I would but my social anxiety wouldn't let me. Buuut I could totally see the police ignoring this vague lead and not following through with a search, sadly. They've been known to ignore stuff posted on the internet before, unless it's very obvious (such as a killer posting the body online which happens somewhat frequently, sadly) or just digging through their suspect's social media. But somewhat vague leads that appear on the internet? They've been known to discount them before even looking into it...I guess the best bet for helping the family find closure is a group interested in the case doing an independent search for the remains. Off topic, but I'm so glad I found your channel!!! The quality of your videos is phenomenal and very professional!! Keep up the good work and your channel will blow up soon!!

What if the cliff eroded from the big storm and the body was buried several feet immediately after his death, given it was a cliff like the one pictured. Then it could be possible his body was paved or built over in the following years making it pretty much impossible to find

This is like some harrowing Mean Creek style coming of age story

Am I missing something? The initial Reddit post never mentioned the boy going missing and never being found. In fact it's incredibly vague. I don't really see any connection if I'm honest.

As someone who lives near St. Charles MO I'm super surprised I've never heard anything about this seems like something people would make ghost stories about. Great video!

This video is so good sometimes I come back to rewatch it

It's pretty convenient that "It gets a bit fuzzy here, but he fell" yet he can recount the rest of the story just fine. After hearing about the story the second time, the gravity of this situation has really sunken in & I realize him & his friends might have accidentally killed this boy or even pushed him & it's sus bc why else would he delete his account as soon as someone identifies his name plus it seems like he's a lot more guilty than just simply not reporting it. It makes me sad knowing this was just a first grader that died & these were 11-12 year-old children that were involved. (Edit) I have to note: isn't it sus that he said there was barely any news coverage when in fact there was tons, it gives me the vibe that he didn't want people snooping around for info but I do hope we hear an update in the future that the family is contacted about the OP & the post.

I love the quality of these videos, your channel really needs more views!

The biggest "I was never there" ever.

Your voice is soothing and the videos are so well put together Why aren't you in the millions of subs yet

I can't stop thinking about that kid's parents and the horror they went through when he went missing. I'd be absolutely broken if that ever happened to my little boy

This is like 10 mins away from my house. Was not expesting this when i clicked on it
