He's not talking in third person, he's just talking in a way to indicate how detached he is from himself and the rest of the world. Third person is if he says "And then Sonny shot his sister"

I feel like it's definitely a psychological snap that caused it. if he were heavily disassociating, and having horrible intrusive thoughts, it's very upsetting and distressing, like you're watching a movie through your eyes and have no control. it's horrible, and I'm glad he's getting help.

This is a heartbreaking case. I feel just as sad for Sonny. He is clearly suffering from severe mental disease. Thankfully he is getting treatment- I hope he gets the help he needs. Devastating that Ashley has lost her life and their parents essentially losing both children. It’s devastating all around.

If he said himself, he does not feel comfortable being in the real world without someone watching him then he should stay where he is.. that is terrifying and I’m sure he is terrified that it would happen again.

Something might’ve happened to him when he was child and it was so traumatizing that he doesn’t even remember. His brain locked it away to keep him safe, but his sub conscious never forgot….. there was a case in Germany where a man murdered 5 people during a psychotic break and during the case it came out that he was sexually assaulted as an infant. The guys who murdered 5 people didn’t even know about it, but his mom confessed that an ex partner r worded him when he a baby. She said she prayed that what happened wouldn’t affect him later in life…..

Wow this story is terrifying and rare. My heart breaks for Ashley, but wow, his side of the story just terrifying. To have no control of your body, I hope he gets the help needed.

This one tripped me out immediately because I live in Augusta and knew her. Wasn't close but was close to people who were close to her. She was loved dearly by so many people and was so full of life. It's crazy...rest in peace Ashley. You know you were loved and are still loved to this day.

I work in a psych hospital and I recently had a patient with disorganized schizophrenia. Idk why but your description of him and how he speaks and acts reminds me alot of that diagnosis

I suffered from depersonification and it’s really scary honestly I wouldn’t wish it to my worst enemy. Thank God I fully recovered . Now…I didn’t go and harm people because I was scared of my self..like your soul really gets trapped. But I was scared I might loose control and do stuff that I can’t control or ever feel. “Luckly” I was so scared of it that I developed anxiety,which made me “scared” more than uncontrollable. It’s a scary thing people so I don’t judge on this one.

Happy new year girlie!!! I’d love to see you do a part 2 on ur 8 passengers deep dive! Your video was the first I ever heard of them a couple years ago

Hailey we missed you , happy new year ! ❤

I think sometimes when people are so smart the stress and expectations that come along with that can lead to mental breaks. I think he may have subconsciously wanted to do something so bad that it would guarantee life in prison therefore removing all expectations of high achievement from him.

Oh man, I feel so bad for the whole family.

I dont want to trauna dump in the comments but i have had episodes of depersonalisation/disassociating and its really weird and scary. I've never hurt others but I've attempted to hurt myself and its like im trapped in my own head watching a movie play that i cant interact with.

i haven’t watched your videos in a while but i love your channel so much i love the style and the way you explain things

I literally checked your account like 2 hours ago wondering if I missed an upload and now boom here you are !!! Missed you😭😭❤️

The ad popping out of nowhere made me laugh so hard😂😂🤣 I can’t even be mad😂 get your bag Hailey!!!🤍🤍🤍🤍

i missed your videos thank you for uploading again and sharing this story :(

Happy new year Hailey Elizabeth!! This was a wild and intense story forsure! Missed you friend!!!! RIP Ashley!!

one of the most interesting cases i’ve heard. genuinely heartbreaking.

Happy new year Hailey !!! Thanks for coming back

Your content is amazing as always! I love seeing the notification that you uploaded! ❤️ 🥰🥰

Thanks for sharing 😊

Happy new year, Love to see a new video. Great work!!

i love the decor you have in your background!! ❤

I remember this happening. It happened in my neighborhood, right up the road from my house. I didn't know the family personally but have friends that did. No one ever imagined that this would happen. It was a very sad.

OMG literally 15 seconds before a long drive bless you :')

I really liked this videos layout of the information, keep it up haley ❤️

Thank god she finally posted 🙏🙏

hey girl. ive been watching for years- just a tip i think you could benefit from- just make sure you're watching interviews and not just reading articles about these topics because you pronounce sonnys name incorrectly the entire video. while of course hes a murderer and he doesnt deserve his name to be said correctly- i do remember this happening for you in the past with victims and it just feels a bit disrespectful and like youre not researching as much as you could be. these are real peoples stories and you owe it to them if youre going to make money off of sharing them, to at least say their names correctly. again, i love you girl but this is just something ive noticed many times in your videos.

Crazy story, so scary. I enjoy listening to you and your style is pretty, good video ♥️

I see some others said this, but to clarify, speaking in the 3rd person is when you speak about yourself as a separate entity, using me as the example, as opposed to saying "I walked into the room," I would say, "Nicholas walked into the room." And I would say that I don't hear him separating "himself" from his body, because he reminds me of myself in some ways, & to be clear, my mental illness makes me emotionally distant, & I see things very rationally, logically & analytically. Lots of psychopaths & sociopaths have these issues, whereas my issues are less dangerous, personality disorders.

Happy New Year Girl. I never miss any of your videos. ❤❤

I’ve been missing your videos because of the way you do thumbnails now, I was looking for your face thinking you’ve been on a long break 😂

I may not have kiled someone, but this has happened to me, where I felt that exact same way, and ended up losing everything, before being back in control and having to deal with what this "other entity" did while I wasn't in control of my body. its a terrible experience.

happy new year! x

Happy new year been waiting for you girl 😅 👍👍

Babe I missed you! Happy new year!! 🎊🎈

Hey! I love your videos and have been watching for a long time. I was wondering if you could do the case of Miya Marcano. I feel like your content goes along well with it, and it’s a very personal and crazy story to me because I knew Miya. Thank you ❤️

Almost at a million subs! Congrats!!

Rip Ashley ❤

Happy new year 🎉🎉 I really missed you. 🥂 to a new year of good true crime stories I really enjoy the way you tell them. ❤ from South Africa.

happy new year ❤

One of your saddest videos idk why this one hit me so hard

Hope you had a great holiday break! Happy new year🩷

I’m confused 🫤 how is that speaking in 3rd person….?

That sponsor transition couldn’t be more tone deaf

I was not suprised at his diagnosis since I am neurodivergent. Dissociation, intrusive thoughts, and compulsions were a huge part of my childhood, in part due to being exposed to sexually explicit material and sexual assaulted by family members. very early on.

Happy New Year ❤️

I don’t know how to feel about this case, to be honest. With the sympathy that I have, though, he is a threat to the public and should never be released. I am so happy that he understands that himself. Many people do not accept that their crimes will punish them forever. He deserves to have a second chance at life, so long as that chance is behind bars.

I cannot believe I just found this channel, INSTANT subscriber!!! 🇵🇷

Happy new year

Girl, thats not how "talking in third person" is. 😅 It would be something like narrating for himself, not about how he names others without "my" lol. Ex. "Sonny is aware of what hes doing" as he tells that to the interrogator, something. Smh

This is crazy. This was so close to my home and I’ve never heard about it.

This is incredibly terrifying to me. I fear stuff like this intently. Not being able to have control over your body and doing terrible things, just horrible. I sympathize for the entire family.

I feel if he, himself, is saying he doesn’t want to be released because he thinks it can potentially happen again then we should believe him, idk tough one.

This is such a sad case 😢

This is so depressing 😢 an entire family ruined by mental illness

WOW I wonder if something 'broke' inside his mind/body, he did have a I.Q. of 160 or something, so maybe whatever 'broke' in his mind was way worse then if it had broke in the average persons mind? I think him not being able to taste things(or everything tasting like burning plastic/metal) for a year and a half after this happened is maybe something doctors should look into, maybe its something that can be prevented in the future, maybe it is connected with the 'genius' brain? This is just what I think anyway.

WTH KZfaq !!! I'm 3 videos behind and got no Notification even though I have it set to get ALL notifications ugh well I get to binge something this Sunday but still 😒

Haileyyyyyy I’ve watched almost all of your videos when are you gonna make another one ? 😮

Now that’s sad 😢

YESS SHES BACK

Question, did no body catch the fact that he first stated that he loaded 7 rounds and another 7 round clip in his pocket, but then its said he unloaded 8 rounds in his sister which then turns into 16 by doctor's review of the body...that would mean he would have had to change clips to get 16 and the parents didn't react by 16 shots right in their living room... And lastly why would he have trouble loading the clip in his parents room from having no experience with firearms when he obviously had no trouble doing it the first time in his room...

i love these new intros

7:24 i heard somewhere if they were praised they’re more likely to snitch on themselves

It’s true that we shouldn’t let our loved ones become too far gone. Don’t take your loved ones for granted.

Hi Hailey! I love a lot of your videos and hope you have a happy new year! As a person who has autism in their family I just wanted to mention a few things about this video. When you first mentioned his IQ I had a thought pop up maybe he could be autistic, because a lot of autistic people are very intelligent! (It’s so cool what talents autistic people have!) Autism is a pretty important topic to me, as my sibling is autistic and I honestly think myself and parents might be on the spectrum too (I don’t want to self diagnose, but it is hereditary). You mentioned the fact he has Asperger’s which is the same diagnosis of Autism, but the term Asperger’s is actually very harmful to autistic people. I don’t think this was any fault of yours, just the articles you got your information from using the wrong term (probably because they were also unaware). Hans Asperger’s, the doctor the term is named after, is an AWFUL guy. Just do a quick google search. But I just quickly wanted to share that information with you, and if there’s any chance you can edit out that word, and if not it doesn’t really matter. I just wanted to share that info with everyone here! /g I also did want to say this is truly shows the importance of keeping guns away from kids/people mentally sound. Something as simple as morbid curiosity can, and obviously do, have serious consequences. I truly don’t want to victim blame, but I could NEVER imagine hiding a gun in my child’s room. If any of my siblings or I had access to a gun, things definitely would have ended in tragedy. Rest in peace Ashley

@HaileyElizabeth is everything alright? You hadn't posted anything new for a month and then on this one, you didn't have your greeting on the beginning.

i love the intro

Yay! Missed you!

And why did they have two guns sitting in the house

his conviction was not fair poor kid this is so heartbreaking

So I know that nobody probably wants to touch this case but will you be doing a video on Gannon Stauch?

why are your videos getting so much shorter?

I just can't with the Sone-y!! That's not even a NAME! Truly, you owe it to the victims to do the video again.

I MISSED U OMGG

We missed you Hailey!! Happy New Year Beautiful 💜✨🥂🍾

I honestly have thoughts like this all the time I’m very sad and I hope this doesn’t have to me one day and I let my thoughts win I hope Sonny gets help

production 👏🏿 value 👏🏿

"Sony"...🤣🤣🤣

I really really really miss your make up video’s 😭

The talking to himself about computers makes me think this is undiagnosed autism or OCD as someone who idpendetly studies mental health, it’s used as a coping mechanism but I can see how if that was encouraged Al your life instead of seen as un normal or the product of something else intead of a “gift” it would encourage be natural of him to think about killing,and not be able to stop thinking about it, because he’s never been taught that too much of any kind of thinking can be bad no matter what it is and acting on our first impulses and to continue thinking about something even when u don’t want to.

i have no sympathy for sony tbh and given how intelligent he is, i'm convinced he's lying. psychologists arent always reliable and there's always a reason for murder. how were there literally no warning signs noticed in such a cuddly happy family? :/

perfectly timed sponsor plug

Can you do one about the Mendez brothers please

Any IQ above 125--start of the genius level, is effectively unmeasurable on IQ tests.

Ive never been so early to a video before

Ima say this tho I love Hailey’s style and I think her grammatical errors are cute but that third person was getting to me lol

I feel like although he says his life is good, it had no purpose, it's meaningless, it's empty. Being a human being in today's world is pretty sad, there's a lot going on, mental health issues are being talked about a lot more now but I think it's a little too little too late.

If he doesn’t think he should be released, I don’t, unfortunately. He knows he cannot control his mind and doesn’t want to hurt others

It’s called a magazine not a clip. Just some helpful information for future reference. ❤

You look absolutely stunning!!! ❤❤❤

Why the bell are you calling him Sony? His name is spelled Sonny (Son-ny) AKA SUNNY

When you realise your brother went to the same uni… 😳

Another banger 💋

It’s pronounced “Sunny” Hailey…. The lack of research and attention to detail really takes away from your professionalism and credibility.. pay attention!! Also that’s not “third person” 🤦🏽‍♀️ it’s distracting girl.

omg we're starting to use stock videos

That's a huge salt lamp

He attempted to injure himself in jail, not kill himself.
