If your hitman can’t remember his job without a to do list maybe he isn’t the guy for the job.

The key to Mike's success= Where 48 hrs and Dateline draw the story out for an hour stretch while minimizing interrogation and court room drama, Mike speeds it all up- no BS and he gives us all the tasty interrogation and court room content all inside of 30 minutes. He's a master editor, too.

That woman who says “I don’t want to even go outside at night, there are just too many men and I would feel like I would be their prey”….a more relatable statement to my mindset has never been made. I hope she stayed safe.

me: time for bed that chapter: "the disturbing case of-" me: oh if u insist

"I hate telling this story, it sucks!" bro u killed him

I *KNOW* I wasn't the only one here last Friday at the regular time just in case you tried pulling an ol' sneaky one. Hope you're feeling much better Mike, and thanks for not dying! 😂

This man really thought he was going to fit through that tiny window

I followed this case through KC’s mom. She knew that James had killed her son and was relentless in her pursuit of justice for KC. Henrickson sued her for defamation and won. She still didn’t stop. My heart broke for her.

For a guy who was so emotionally wrecked by one murder he sure didn’t mind doing the second.

Did he really think he was going to fit that melon through the jail window?! Genius, that one.

I love when you say someone was caught "doing a legger", it makes it sound so much more ridiculous 😂

Your ability to put these videos together in a tight, cohesive and well-researched way is frankly unmatched on KZfaq. Best true crime channel on KZfaq, hands down.

“I hate telling this story, it sucks!” Spoken like a true child. Wow

You never realize just how many times the number three is used in life until an Irish gentleman tells you a story. 🥰

That dude’s head gets wider and wider in each mug shot.

Hey Mike, I'm from North Dakota and I just wanted to say that you did an excellent job researching the Bakken oil field. I appreciate the detail and accuracy.

Omg, that guy’s fake crying during his confession is sooooo cringey.

Thank you for covering what happened to KC. He was a friend of mine actually the 1st person I met when I moved to Enumclaw Wa. I have a couple good memories of him. He didn't deserve his fate.

My experience with oil field workers: exactly what Mike described. A ton of oil industry workers stayed in my city after the BP explosion and they tormented all the women and caused a hell of a lot of trouble. Rig pigs.

This guy could’ve had a great company and great life if he wasn’t so darn greedy!!

I had surgery this morning, and I’ve just been lying here waiting for tree o’clock.

seriously tho mike is seriously one of the best true crime channels, hes respectful to the case the victims while still managing to crack a few jokes, and gives the info just straight without all the weird voice over and stupid creepy music, he deserves more than the mil he currently has!

i love watching these sort of things whilst relaxing in bed. thank goodness for my boring life

Used to think "Money is the root of all evil." Then one day a Pastor taught me "The LOVE of money is the root of all evil". Then it all made sense to me.

Aw poor Tim, he really hates telling the story about how he beat someone to death, it sucks!

Hi from a tobaco and avocado farm in Zambia, Africa! Missed you on Friday, Mike. Hope this video means you are feeling all good again.

Suckrow crying during his confession: bravo. Best lead actor nominee.

I’m from just north of the border in Canada, our oilfield was also booming around the same time, many of the companies ran in both the US and Canada. We also experienced somewhat of an increase in drug and crime around this time, but I can truly say that it wasn’t near what it was in some of the US towns/cities, this case being an example. It’s sad to acknowledge that something which was so good for the area economically at the time has caused the lasting damage that it has. After the crash, there’s whole floors of apartment buildings empty, that’s how much of an impact the oil industry had, there’s still high unemployment, drug use and crime happening as a result of this time period.

If I ever find a lake of Guinness I'll let you know, Mike.

I squeal like a child when I see Mike has a new video. I turn 60 this month.

My father used to work for James.. he sometimes tells the story of when he "shook hands with the devil"

i think I have watched MIKE'S videos at least 10 times each, but I still can't get enough, He is so engaging, I love his channel, but most of all I get so much happiness from HIM, He is so soothing and his expressions are spot on!!! He has the ability to heal my broken heart and mind. I lost my two paternal grandfathers and my father to family crimes committed by my mother's side of the faimly! LOTS OF LOVE TO YOU MIKE!!!!

this man is really crying as if HE’S the one being beaten until his “head goes soft” smh

For some reason it bothers me when murderers go all whiny when confessing. I'm quite certain he wasn't all pansy when wielding the pipe, and he's certainly going to jail - so why the crybaby routine?

Mike: "Let's get oiled up!" Me: *sweats profusely*

Awe Mike, your humor is just adorable. You make my day. I hope u realize how many ppl love u.

Nothing gets me happier on KZfaq than a new ThatChapter video

I always say hi to Mike after he says "Hey you." because I'm a nice guy.

Sad Casey’s body was never recovered to have a proper burial or resting place.

I'm literally howling the idiot wrote "JAMES FROM ND" omg the cops were probably like...no way 😂

Hey you, your name is Mike, and in this ole video we'd like to thank you for doing what you do, and well wishes for feeling better. All right, let's give it a goo.

Ya know you have an addiction problem when the cold sweats set in during Mikes brief absence.

The early 2000's hair in this is so hard.

Still out there RIP I hope they find him and he gets a decent burial with loved ones

Tim singing like a canary and crying has me irritated. You know what you did and why you did it. You can’t pull the sympathy card.

Sincere, massive and heartfelt congratulations on hitting the big one million subs. Roll on tree million.

"Mastermind" might be a stretch, as far as definitions go, for this genius.

“Alrighty dokey! Let’s get oiled up.” This guy! Love your work, and the content generates some of the best comments.

Tim gets a Nobel Prize for "Crocodile Tears."

I've seen all of Mike's videos, and every single time I get overwhelmed at how good a story teller he is

Mike can make any horrible sad tragedy somewhat funny 😂 I’m always shaking my head laughing my ass off at his jokes

Congrats on the million subs Mike. Can you do some older cases that would be really interesting. Like the 50s,60s and 70s. Love crime and history 👏

MIKE: The hardest-workin' man in KZfaq business.

Those mugshots of James looked like before and after pics of steroid abuse.

"Had him by the plums" made me snort and is definitely the best thing I've ever heard! 😭🤣

18:25 I get the feeling this ain't the way he'll tell his cell mates the story. There will be no tears, no remorse. He probably laughed while telling it.

"let's get oiled up" boyyyy, was i expecting something else

That 5 second black screen with no sound made me think my phone died.

If mike ever stopped making videos I would honestly die, in my opinion he is in the top 5 on KZfaq.

Same thing happened in Odessa TX. People came to work the oil boom, cost of living soared. Then it tanked and all these people were stranded there with no jobs and no money. They started getting desperate and the crime rate became so bad, you had to be careful just getting gas, someone would try to rob you...

"The killer fled, Doug was dead, shot 7 times, in the head. A witness said, his blood was red, turns out the killers nickname was Needle Nose Ned." -Mike

There was no video on Friday, I almost filed a missing person's report on Mike!

The most puzzling part is how that guy thought he could fit through that window in his cell.

I remember when the oil boom began and even for $$ I thought, do any of these workers know how bad the winters up there are? I’m in SD and it’s awful, ND is dead frigid.

One of my young workers went to the oil field to make the big money. A year later they found his body in a ditch by the highway with his wallet missing. Left behind a young wife and two-year-old daughter. Where there’s big money, there’s always vultures…

That young girl talking in the beginning about being prey, she is a smart cookie. Influx of jobs, people brings the bad with the good.

22:41 His brain didn't realize that the rest of his body wouldn't fit through that tiny hole.

Being from and in ND, you are hilarious. I can’t believe how many personal details covered in snark about these small towns you cover. Playing old western music for our barren wasteland, for example 🤪 you are awesome at what you so. Also, ND was pretty terrible during this boom, it’s gotten better but it’s not the same place I safely grew up in.

The sad irony of this whole story is that James actually had a pretty sweet thing going only for his own lust and greed to get him undone. What a PoS!

"Let's get oiled up" caused some uncomfortable feelings that I'm not prepared to deal with.

In NoDak we used to say "The cold keeps the riffraff out." Then the oil boom hit. . .

I worked in the oil industry. Had a breakdown afterwards. I wasn't even in the US; the middle east. I'm not soft but the whole industry's callousness profoundly affected my mental health. On a lighter note, nice work Mike. Ive passed you into all of my friends, like a playground pusher.

Don't know how I found this channel but I ain't leaving

I worked pipelines and the oilfield for about a decade. It's the wild f-ing west out there and no part of this story shocked me. Not to say it wasn't a good story. I just know that world and am not surprised. Love your work Mike! Keep 'em coming!

I ❤ love the music played in these videos! Congrats wonderful Mike 💖 👏 for the million subs. You very well deserve it!

I love how he Cris while confessing. Dude, you killed another person later on, it clearly didn't bother you as much as you're trying to portrait.

My buddy moved out there in 2011, and his life just seemed to get fucked up. Lived in Philly his whole life, never in trouble, moved out there, and all of a sudden issues started arising.

Saw you on Netflix in the new Crime Scene doc!!

I didn't realize you did this case!!! KC went to high school with my best friend, we spent years searching for him and supporting his Mom!

I worked as an oilfield site medic for a season and a bit around 2011-2012 I never realized how perfectly I jumped in got my money and got the hell out before the golden handcuffs got me.

I'm so glad you're not dead from the rona, Mike. Glad you're feeling better.

Those 'Hunt A Killer' sponsors you get.. now based on what it is.. if I was the police I would send cold cases out like this.. change the names of the people and see if the public can solve it 😂

It’s absolutely incredible how people get so twisted up in dirty business dealings and kill thinking they’re too smart to ever be caught.

My dad worked on the oil fields for decades, you'd be surprised of how many rigs are fueled on meth

Never realized how often we use the word "thirty" until I started listening to Mike.

KC smiles in every picture. And he has a nickname for a name. He's the kind of guy a narcissist hates.

Fracking hell, this was some case! Thanks as always Mike 😊

Glad to finally be watching these as they are released. Found this channel and proceeded to binge watch every episode over a several day period. Love the content and the wit. I literally loud out loud at least once per episode. Keep up the great work.

Its hilarious when a big guy with tatts starts crying cos he did the crime but can't do the time.😆 Congratulations on 1 million subs Mike! Much deserved👏💚

Understatement of the year: “It sucks”

I'm so addicted to your channel Mike! Keep up the awesome work 😊👍

I have this weird intellectual crush on Mike. Like I want to have him as a friend and talk about forensic pathology, crimes and shit. Anyway all the best to Ireland, you rock!

Listening to heartless murderers, start crying in their confessions, angers me soooo much.

Hi Mike, welcome back...have soooo missed u😊

Mike is without doubt the best at what he does on KZfaq, always entertaining and funny without crossing the line with obviously sensitive cases... I'd almost go as far as calling the man a genius!

lol when he started fake crying I could feel the group around him collectively roll their eyes

this is like a lost Fargo storyline, the way hes willing to murder his wife to keep dodging trouble

I just have to say how incredibly proud I am of you and what you’re accomplishing here. You’re an amazing storyteller and fantastic KZfaqr. You’ve EARNED every single one of your million+ subscribers- here’s to the next milestone-there’s no stopping ya’ now 👍🏼😎

Mike, you really make these stories come alive and flesh them out. I'm so glad we can access you on YT instead of some pay crime channel. you're a very talented researcher, storyteller and video maker

Oh I don't know if should feel honored or ashamed that Mike did an episode about Spokane, my home sweet home, and also he pronounced Spokane correctly!!! Thanks for giving us a goooo💚💚
