How did he choke her in court is almost as crazy

@@mariamaria2751 I’m kvm v ?? ?xxb.

I can probably imagine after that call he broke .I would start smashing everything if I can't find me kids .he had not just his daughter but his wife too!!

@@mariamaria2751 choke? He fishboned her with a fucking knife

I agree, however survivors who can't clearly see a brighter day don't deserve to be shunned. I know we all like happy endings but no one's life is a movie. I can promise you these two women haven't just moved on but like the narrator says "There is a life worth living". On a side note, I'm spiritual, so I believe people like Mary and Beth are mb chosen to go through this type of pain to help keep hope/strength alive within others or to keep others from suffering. I feel there's more to depraved crimes than just horror and cruelty. Check out the full case of Amyjane Brandhagen. As someone majoring in criminal justice who's also a believer, I gain a lot of insight on the human condition and just how connected we really are from watching these cases.

All because she gave him a B- grade!

@@IzzyBizzyBooBoo And they say strict parenting is healthy for child's mind. Not to say it's bad but still strict parenting doesn't give child a chance to breathe when it comes with grades. Grades aren't technically anything but a proof of skill, and nobody can't be perfect with everything. My good friend was ace with all subjects, but she knew herself that she wasn't good at certain things and it didn't matter to her.

@@peagames2002 grades are a proof af having had prepared for a test. It doesn’t test skills or ability. It tests if you know the answer to a question. A lot of geniuses have had average or worse performance in school.

@@hm5468 Also that. I never really gave much of attention on tests because I did them very well without keeping head on book.

@@peagames2002 who says strict parenting is good?

Can hear his voice trembling, poor guy

Complete shock and a rush that his baby was still alive. I’m sure he crumpled when he got off the phone

i cant imagine his emotions.. yet, how composed he is.. it at least ended well..

I'm so paranoid about my own sanity, after the call, I would have worried I'd just had a paranormal experience, or mental break.

I know he was upset. But I couldn't understand why he never said 'I love you' I wouldn't be able to say it enough times

I cried so hard when he said he was supposed to visit his grandparents the next day. Fuck I'm crying right now.

Whats wrong with people that they leave a 6 year old alone what do they expect idc that he knows where to go and stuff he is 6 literally anything can happen to him

@@chipgoat516 I'm pretty sure that was a lie. He probably killed Jason himeslf.

@@charlesroseman9466 they were talking about Jason's parents, I think. My siblings (12, 11 and 7) are allowed to play in the street too without supervision because we know most neighbours, it's scary to think you can't even play outside without the possibility of being abducted/killed...

@@chipgoat516 I mean this was in the 80s. Some parents had let their children play out on the streets alone or go out by themselves with their friends because I think there wasn’t a lot of crime back then (or mainly it wasn’t reported a lot).

Unfortunately this case was before they had metal detectors in court house and all the security we have now. It's sickening to remember that incidents like this are why we have the measures in place we have now.

@@jademarie3055 ok but body searches should have been mandatory ...

I don't understand this part 17:48 who's Elizabeth and wrong person ? How did Mary escape that knife threat. What were the police doing?

@@shaksheedigitalmarketing Right? A big gap in the story.

⁠@@shaksheedigitalmarketing To answer your question, Elizabeth is Mary’s daughter, you might have been confused because they referred to her as “Beth” for short, and when the narrator said “Wrong Person” he was just referring to Mary and Beth, as for how she escaped the knife attack… idk but I think they might’ve restrained that monster or something after he had cut her.

Bad things usually happen to you via someone who knows you closely

@@sunnyfeng8210 that's not this case. The women weren't attacked by a family member or friend who was involved in their lives, they were kidnapped by a psycho who spied on them for a decade.

Well now with social media, this is not one guy watching you but many more

@@assianeu197 social media is not someone camping out by your house and watching through your windows. But I'm sure more people and organizations have more info on each of us than anyone realizes. Scary.

thats so scary!

I was thinking the same thing. He was far too young to give any truly helpful information to the police. Probably all that he would have told his parents is that he saw a woman and girl tied in in a trunk. That wouldn't give the police a lot to go on. So sad. I can't imagine the heartache of his parents when they learned that Mary and Beth had been found, but that little Jason was not with them.

He wanted an excuse to kill. Rest in Peace, sweet boy.

I agree

Being defiant and saying, "Screw you!" works for me.

I hate the word forgiveness. Churches use it a lot and my Mum used it. People tend to used as a way to force you to not hold them accountable for what they’ve done to you. I agree that you need need to go of resentment and bitterness, because otherwise it destroys you. While you’re holding bitterness and resentment they still have power over you. But you don’t owe anyone forgiveness. You hold people accountable for their actions, and your also hold yourself accountable for your own. Accountability is everything. Finding a way to live in peace is everything.

@@samanthamcbay7859 churches always try to guilt trip you by saying "god" will do the punishing Well why "he" let the kidnapping happen i n the first place eh? "He" has no place to order people around on forgiveness when "he" neglected that in the first place

Actually forgiving someone is important. Not for them, for yourself. As a christian I know God will handle it. God does not cause evil. We humans do. We and we alone are responsible for the evil in this world.

They're christians, this was all part of their "god's" plan

Shame on anyone that ignores the cries of a helpless child.

I have had this happen to me as a child. I was beaten and abused by my own father and at school when another kid saw the bruises on my arms and legs and asked me "What happened?' I told him "My dad did this." He then laughed at me and went "Dad's don't do that." I sat there for five minutes kinda perplexed at what I could do after that. It was a catholic school, and the head nun found out and she helped me out, fixed me up and told me. "God doesn't stand by this behavior." Regardless my dad rocked up into church at the school the following weekend for mass and I kinda gave up on God. When I turned to my mum after I went "Mum I don't wanna go to church anymore." and she went "Okay." The only time I enter a church now is for a wedding or a funeral, but I won't do it.

Maybe there was some divine intervention for those boys to not believe Beth. Perhaps if they had helped at that moment Ming might have killed all of them if they didn't get far. I truly believe things happen for a reason. That moment was probably not the safest moment. It would have been tragic if these boys got killed like Jason had. My heart goes out to that little boy who was just riding his bike and was in the wrong place at the wrong time! RIP Jason!

@@JdeeGeekyGao I'm so sorry that happened to you, but I wouldn't be so harsh on the child being able to comprehend a parent doing bad. You essentially told him something that went completely against his view and understanding of the world and accepting that just immediately is not really the most common/healthy thing to do. (like imagine if he just belived everything anyone told him)

His tone just instantly changes with pure tenderness 😭

@@EggGat yessss it really does.

He seems like a very sweet dad, but the way they spoke, it's like they're having a normal conversation, not the "haven't spoke in a month because you're abducted" conversation

@@berchyzgb4423 yes I totally agree. My thoughts are perhaps he had been advised by Police to stay very calm and act normal if they should call home?

@@berchyzgb4423 yes maybe to let the daughter speak clearly and calm. And there is his son in the house too, maybe dad doesn't want him to worry

Yes I agree 😢😢😢

I agree to

They were kids dude. They shouldnt feel like shit. I hope they were able to let that very painful guilt go and go on to live good, non toxic lives. And I hope you, Nica, find peace from your pain.

It doesn't matter if you're a teenager they should have known

@@ascheuring1 It doesn't matter if you make a mistake, you should have been perfect.

@@iWantToBelieve... I didn’t see him say he wished only hoped. You should stop overthinking things and life will be what you wish.

@@inheritmyshoes9559 beautifully said. Agree

He knew of the move to the Phillipines and knew it was then or never.

@@mikeschmidt4800 For sure. I just find it scary how committed he was to continue for so many years, and how they had no idea. Its pretty creepy!

Ten whole years!😣 that's crazy as hell!

Exactly. The kidnap was insane. The stalking even more insane!!!!! It means he literally followed her everywhere and probably broke into their home on many occasions. Twisted minds!!!!!

Talk about patience! This is insane😞

👌

As weird as it may have sounded to them at the time, I believe should’ve took the precaution and acted on it regardless of what they thought just in case

@@Suaveswag100 I think this is a case of Monday morning quarterbacking. Like, we as adults who listen to stories about abductions and true crime have this mindset where you should probably question everything to a degree. But as teenagers? I can't speak for us all, but how many absolute bullshitters did we know? I think most teens are naturally cynical because they are always surrounded by other teenagers that are trying to figure out who they are. Teens in the age of the immediately accessible internet would probably think twice if they were already exposed to this information, but even then I don't expect teens to fully grasp and comprehend the gravity of a situation they could find themselves in. I hope my daughter would tell me if some kid told her she was kidnapped, because as an adult I know I can think rationally and investigate the situation or inform proper law enforcement. I don't think the kids were wrong, but they weren't right either. Ideally you would have wanted then to tell their parents of the interaction or go talk to an officer, but teens aren't entirely rational. Idk, I'm just glad it ended well when you realize how badly it could have went.

@@BlueRedGooGoo As a teenager who barely has any social media and watches crime everyday, I would help absolutely anyone in need. Even if a kid dropped his ice cream. LOL

I think they thought someone trolling them so that’s why they didn’t act on it. You never know what you might do if you are put in that position.

@@Pengooine but so? Trolling or not, always help a child in need.

yes... i lost it when I heard his shaky breath

I didn’t understand that part. They didn’t say anything about the father entire video other than fathers day. Didn’t he complain?

@@KrishS0918 The kidnapper probably tried to torture emotionally both the father and the one's he kidnapped

Rest in peace to jason❤🫶🫂

I feel like I can’t stand it too. I have grand kids that age. Poor baby. Innocent.

It is absolutely gut wrenching. This poor sweet boy 🥺

Shouldn’t have been in the woods alone I live in a metropolitan city San Diego All these crimes happen in rural areas I have a will be 6 year old on July 2nd (it is currently June 23rd 2022) so she almost there and a 4 year old (will be 5 September 10th 2022) they don’t play and go nowhere without me so idk why country folks think it’s ok to do this. There’s sickos everywhere especially out there. And we got them here too with trafficking and close to border. Just watch your babies like forever

It’s crazy how he was allowed to do that to her! Sick.

What? How did you find out she was raped?

Yeah she was incredible

Fr. She went through hell and didn't let that ruin her life. It also helps having a loving family around you. I'm so glad this story ended well for them.

probably tried his best to stay strong for his little girl

I heard that too, amazing those subtle little things that have such an incredible implication

I’d assume he knew she wasn’t ok right?

I still don’t get when did that phone call happened?

@@tine2835 it said multiple times that it happened on father's day while they were still being held hostage, apparently the kidnapper either felt a tiny bit of remorse or, more likely, just wanted to mess with the father even more

What yr did they moved to ph? Cos i knew it since they are moving to ph and they are very religious i have a feeling that they are missionaries

I really hope Jason went somewhere nice, I can't stop crying rn because I'm just thinking about how he was supposed to be with his grandparents...

If he was a white man it would be made into a movie. They love to make these movies when it’s a white man.

trust not anymore . i live here .

Cant. Believe the killer was able to come. Court. With a knife and leave her scared it crazy

They did a Lifetime movie about her story. It came out in 2019 and Alyson Hannigan played the part of Mary Stauffer. It is called Abducted: The Mary Stauffer Story.

I mean it did happen in 1980. What a maniac, he killed a 6 year old boy with a metal rod. He was going to murder them for sure, glad they were able to escape.

I believe it said they found his body months later. It's such a senseless and cruel thing to do.

@@traekingonline It was so unnecessary, I hope the man who killed him rots in the deepest and darkest depths of Hell

Incredible! I know! It was probably terrifying being in the same room as him once more, even before he assaulted her with the knife.

@@tyler108 I didn't listen more than a few seconds in. There was a child not saved? I can't stomach more. uh!

He’s insane. I’d even chalk it up to his upbringing. I’m guessing he came from an Asian household where anything less than perfection is like a death sentence. Glad he is in prison where he deserves to be

When I heard the "B minus" I kinda laughed lmao. But yea agreed

Well, he obviously is mentally ill. To a mentally healthy human being, this does not make sense.

I've got an F a few times. Still not abducting anyone. Lol

It's not "all because he got a B-" are you serious? You can't really think that.

who knows why, he could have had that whole sick family he wanted and Jason could be alive. RIP Jason.

Because he wanted Mary. The only reason he kept Beth alive was to control Mary. The boy was just an obstacle to him. It's incredibly sad.

there wasn't enough room in the closet

That is so dumb buy at least you are so innocent you don't know. There are 3 reason. Mainly to control Mary who is who he wanted. Because he didn't wanna rape him. And third the boy would kill him as soon as he got bigger

He'd have a hard time keeping 3 in control

@@jsas2047 depends if they were near a phone or even had the money to use one. Easy to judge when we weren't there.

@@rubytwoshoes1032 we can only judge from the information we have. The information we have is "they laughed and told her to stop making up stories" and the fact that no police was called, not even at a later time when they got home or smth. Now you can defend them based on nothing and make up random excuses, but since there isn't anything to make me doubt this information i will continue to judge them based on it. Based on the information what they did was very wrong.

Keep in mind these are teens. Literal minors. Of course they are going to think its a lie- To blame literal minors just chilling on a normal day and calling them horrible because they didnt believe a little girl saying she was kidnapped is putting the responsiblity of an adult on kids-

A lot of teens are pos. Just like the general population. It gets slightly better but me too exists cuz of this general pos culture. Don't make excuses for them.

@@alemonyoyo69420 ^^ this You should be calling the criminal horrible not the kids that don't know anything

@@alemonyoyo69420 It's not an excuse. Teens are soon-to-be adults and they're fully capable of understanding what anyone is saying. Even some adults would've done the same thing as them so thats no excuse. They didn't want to believe it because they were scared to be involved if it was true. And sadly, for that little girl it was. THAT'S the horrible part, especially to then LAUGH at her for it. I understand not wanting to be involved and that nobody wants to believe bad things can happen to or around them but from a young age you are taught "See something, say something". Those teens didn't say anything. Didn't even ask questions. That little girl could've lost her life because of that and there is no excuse for it simply because you're a teen. I was a teenager 4 years ago and I would've called the cops. That's all they had to do was call. It's a mistake I'm sure they now regret but that's exactly why I'm saying this should be a lesson to anyone not to make the same mistake because it could have *IRREPARABLE* consequences and being a young adult simply isn't a good enough excuse. For something so blatant, even teens should know better. I would understand if they were pre-teens because at that age that you still live in a bubble and belive in Santa. Teens are different. They're old enough to understand actions, consequences, and mistakes.

@@randomonessb3302 Dude this is all just assumption on your part. You are ASSUMING they believed this crying little girl and ASSUMING they were scared to not be involved. As a teen myself, little kids annoy me, and I don't believe what they say ever. I always think they're playing some game! If a kid ran up to me and told me a kid hit her, I'd believe her, but something like kidnapping is out of the realm of an average teen!
