Thanks for watching folks. This was such an interesting case to cover... Trey Sesler though, what an insane man. What do you think happened to him? Let me know below. Please hit that red button if you like my stuff, it really helps me out. Thank you, and see you in the next one!

"No warning signs" except him making a plot to steal a cop's gun and kill his friend, and also shooting his pet rabbit.. these are not "normal teenage things"..

"He had become fascinated with former killers" Me watching this channel: *Nervous Chuckle*

Breaks my heart when I hear people like him having poor defenseless animals at his disposal to hurt and murder like that. 😢

O discovered recently your channel. I have problems to fall asleep because I suffer a high level of anxiety. Your voice, narration and presentation is so soothing it's helping me very much. Thank you from the bottom of my heart

I got a confession to make bro, I don’t grab a coffee while watching these, I generally have a whole meal

No warning signs?? The dude literally used his pet rabbit as a firing target

I’ve watched ao many of these stories and one thing that really sticks out is how so many of these cases there were VERY clear signs of a mental disturbance that just gets ignored. It seems to me that all these types of killers have the same formula. Neurodivergence + inappropriate special interests + isolation / abuse from family and peers. Look at all the other similar killers, the fact that society outcasts people with mental issues, it turns those people against society. We need more involvement / counseling / mental evaluations in schools. We HAVE to stop ignoring these warning signs

I can never understand these actions. If there is anything good with this is that Trays guilt of killing his family weighed so heavy on his sole that he was not able to proceed with killing innocent children while attending school. Great narration with this story!

My sister and my ex went to high school with him and were really good friends and theater partners with him for their video content. I was a freshman in college when everything went wrong, after he'd graduated, so we all got a pretty good first hand account of all this. I remember my boyfriend at the time calling me and asking "Does Trey know where you live?" As I was writing an essay at the time and hadn't been watching the news, so this was completely out of the blue. He explained that he had killed his family and was still loose, and no one could find them. Since him and my sister were fairly close with him, we were all a bit scared that he would show up at OUR houses. Luckily, he didn't. During this, all three of us were pretty angry at how the news portrayed him at the time: holding guns in every picture, saying he's evil and a cold blooded killer, etc. Which....he was, but that's not the point. The guns he was holding were prop guns, and the picture they took and plastered all over the news was a screenshot from one is his sketch videos. He wasn't a violent guy. They would have had to dig through his content to find that picture, and they took it completely out of context. Keep in mind that at this time we didn't know the entire story except what was being shown on the news. Suddenly, everything started to make more sense, though. The past few years, cows had been disappearing overnight, and horses too. I'd discovered bullet holes in my high school auditorium my senior year (and the administration did NOTHING, saying that "it was probably just some kid doing a drive by.") Fires started and kept spreading out of control, going all the way up to Magnolia to the Renaissance Faire. The Faire thought they were going to lose buildings. Earlier that year, my boyfriend had gotten a Facebook message from Trey thanking him for being such a good friend and that he loved him, "no matter what happened," and that he only had 6 months to live because of a chronically leaking lung after a car accident. The car accident in question happened to him in high school, his junior year I believe. He spent much of his last two years in high school working from the hospital because the aftermath of the accident had causes headaches so severe that they were concerned they would cause him brain damage. Yep, that's right. Brain damage. After my friends got called in for questioning, the police dished a few more details that weren't covered by the media. Apparently, Trey had come up with a plan with a few friends to all kill their families and then shoot up the high school. When he showed up at his friend's house with guns and body armor and said "I did it, did you? Let's do this!" They were terrified and said they thought he'd been joking. They then convinced him to turn himself in after hours of talking in private. Needless to say, I won't really ever think of black Chargers the same way. I don't often comment on videos, but I figured I'd toss in my perspective on this one. I'm not really a follower or viewer, but I wasn't expecting to see Trey's face in my recommendeds and I had to click.

It must be devastating to have a child, raise him, put your efforts, tears, sweat towards his future, and then you see him kill your wife. That is just too sad

It seems like a lot of mass shooters, a young person's mental health starts spiraling and either no one noticed or no one cared enough to do anything about it.

With me growing up with Trey…he WAS bullied…verbally. He was always highly intelligent and also at the early years of only 8 years old, he tried to bully me in elementary and it was that point he found out he couldn’t bully me. Over the years I had him in my health class when we both were 13 and we would joke about the whole incident back in elementary school…but he was always awkward about it…like it bothered him….then in high school softmore year, I had him in my health class again and yet again he would approach me and joke about the same incident….after high school I had a job with him at yogi bear park in Hempstead when we were both 20….and yet again he would approach me about the same incident back when we were children. The whole vibe I would get from him was that he seemed to love me but hate me at the same time…he wanted to befriend me, but at the same time, there was an aggressive vibe he would maybe unintentionally give….nonetheless…he was never normal….and honestly, I always thought he was probably hiding his sexuality. My personal information to put out there to the public of someone who actually grew up around him.

"Natural part of growing up" Clearly I missed that stage 😅

The mental health care literally failed this man hard. He had a plan to incapacitate a officer and steal his gun to kill his friend and after a while everyone just went "Yeah, that's just normal teenager behavior." Not saying therapy would have helped him, but what if it would have?

I love how on the internet, and with the benefit of hindsight of course, everyone and their mother suddenly becomes a mental health expert..

You are so kind and pleasant in your videos that I almost forget I'm listening to a true crime story about people getting brutally murdered.

I like the fact that you don’t treat these cases as a joke and that you show great respect for the victims.

trey: has a detailed plan to kill his friend license psychiatrist that went through years of schooling and training: nothing wrong here, off you go 👨‍⚕️

It’s terrifying to raise children in a world where people like this exist.

His parents didn’t die for nothing. They saved the high school from being shot up. Who know what could of happened if he just aimed at the school instead of his family. It’s a sad story but I would like to think his family saved the kids.

That psychiatrist he saw when he was 13 absolutely failed to identify and treat him, they could have prevented all of this if they did their job right.

This channel is criminally underrated, you my guy are a great host, keep up the great work.

His family didn’t die for nothing. The guilt of killing them kept him from killing more people at the school.

*tells a friend that he plans on killing his dad* *kills his dad* Friends: *surprised pikachu face* No WaRnInG sIgNs

"grab a coffee, sit back, and relax" unbeknownst to you coffee gives me diarrhea

just wanted to say what a great job you've done with this channel, man. i would never have believed you only started it 5 months ago. really excellent work, you deserve the success you're getting.

What’s crazy is that he looks like such a normal guy, you could pass him by on the sidewalk and not give him a second glance. You never really know what someone’s capable of. I’m just glad he didn’t go through with his plan.

This is such a crazy story, I remember watching some of his anime reviews back in the day. He always seemed a bit odd but never would've imagined he was planning literal killing sprees. Good video man!

This guy is so infamous in the KZfaq anime community. Some of the creators who've been on here for a long time had interactions with him way back in the day

This is officially the first one of your videos I’m watching with a coffee. I feel amazing.

I think he did exactly what he thought would be the way to spare his family the heart ache of him hurting/killing people. He knew he couldn't face their disapproval. However, after killing them it hit the weight of his actions weighed him down. Sad story for all those involved

Interesting disassociation. “When I killed “THE” family.” Not wanting to or refusing to come to terms that HE killed HIS family.

“The incident was dropped…both by police and the psychiatrist. Nothing else ever came from this”…First huge mistake!!! I cannot believe how these early warning signs are so often overlooked. Calling 911, and then plotting to steal a firearm from the responding police officer IS NOT NORMAL! SMH.

I just found this channel yesterday and it's already a new favorite. Your voice is just so calming.

I really like the way you tell these stories. Treating the situation with the utmost seriousness while providing intriguing facts about the lead up to the crime itself. Very well done

this sounds like he was descending into psychosis. Combined with isolation, he lost his grip on reality. But I feel we don't have the full picture. The shock of killing his family brought him to his senses, but seems that he will never be fully himself again. Dropping out of college, combined with desensitization to the shootings of the day, combined with a unhealthy fascination with shootings, fights with family, feelings of blame, and escapism from that reality seems to have innured him into psychosis. Which lead to a snap. This is sadly not something you are just 'not right in the head' over. It's very possible to engineer these breaks in regular people of all stripes. You can glimpse this behavior in mob behavior. If Coffeehouse' research is fully accurate, the constant evolution of his plans, once for relief towards some kind of target, only continued to edge him towards the act. It became..methodical. At that point, you aren't you anymore. That is the lure and deadly consequence of developing psychotic tendancies. Even psychotic people are not always...aware....of these things. Not all act on them.

As someone who has had my own issues with mental health and alcohol, I can say with confidence that alcohol makes EVERYTHING worse. Never better.

"a natural part of growing up" i never tried killing my friends but i guess that's just me

His dad Lawton Sealer was my 4th grade teacher and a family friend. A family member also worked at Robinson elementary when this happened so i remember this very vividly.

I wouldn't say his Family died for nothing. The regret which surfaced after shooting his mom definitely saved people.

The fact that he admitted he had made a plan to assault/kill a police officer and take his gun to commit a murder should have put the brakes on everything that happened next. Having been raised in a small town in Texas similar to his, I suspect that his parents being a teacher and working for the local paper afforded them enough influence to have the incident swept under the rug.

His grandmother's home where he lived is 3 blocks from my home, I remember this well, he had been riding around the county for several weeks shooting livestock as "practice". He shot his father over 60 times. My stepdaughter who lived in Magnolia were he was found was a friend of his. He is very much alive and in TDCJ for the rest of his life.

I've also heard he was walking around the house with a gun, knocking on his family's door, and doing a sort of guard duty against "demons". I feel like it was a warning sign. I feel like if he got help when it started nothing like this would've happened. It's so sad that people ignore it when something is wrong with someone's mental health and just hope it goes away...

Watching him melting away mentally, it really bugs my heart and soul, he was definitely lost in his own mind, he showed a lot of remorse over killing his own family, thanks for the upload, great work, 👍🏻from Florida be safe all✌🏻😷

Well now I have another channel to binge.

Thank you tremendously for not spoiling everything at the beginning. I hate videos that do that.

His real target was his family. He somehow just justified to himself mentally that he had to do this to protect them from future suffering. Once this was done, he didn’t really have the impulse to carry on the rest of the plan. Lost in fantasy but not really insane. Filming yourself and broadcasting your actions can have a consequence of enhancing such fantasies, taking them to another level.

I like to think differently about this. His family didn't die for nothing, they 'saved' dozens of innocent people that he was planning with his 'Killing Spree'. In his mind, he was trying to 'protect' them of the hate that he would cause and possibly revenge from the victims and families of the victims, and because of his actions on killing his family, his mind was so overwhelmed he didn't go through with the massacre. I know this is some horrible rationalization, but this is how I look all this whole case.

There were plenty of red lights flashing on the dash board, with this guy, but there are so many kids with these signs that its easy in a gun culture environment for a 'real one' to slip through the filter and commit such a hideous act. His poor mother. One can only wonder at her feelings during her final moments, as she saw her own son turn on her.

"Killed THE family" He does feel guilt here, and remorse, which is why he makes the dissociation of "THE" instead of "MY/OUR" in addition to "it just feels too real" IE: in that footage he's struggling to process he actually did that. This implies he's dealing with intense guilt, driving him to deny reality. Sadly, not an uncommon thing in those who kill from a psychotic break.

So he tried to steal a gun from a cop, and the psychiatric evaluation was dropped? Are you serious?

As someone who's grown up in a home with a lot of anger, condescension, and a lack of caring I 100% believe there's a LOT more to his home life than what's mentioned. There's a lot of familiar signs there.

You're videos are so interesting, thanks for making my work days bearable lol keep it up.

In the hour that I subscribed, this channel was at 398K AND NOW ITS AT 400K. WOW. 2000 subs in under an hour!! You're doing sumn right Adrian. Congratulations!!

I was in school when this happened. I lived in Waller at this period and at first when we heard about this we all thought people were joking. Then the realization came in that oh shit this was almost us. I graduated 2012 from Waller. This was just super crazy, cuz people knew who this was and was friends with him and knew his family.

I also used to watch his anime reviews and I never thought he would go this route. It’s so heartbreaking on hearing what he did. My heart goes out to the family of the victims.

I finally get to listen to your videos while having a coffee! I just stumbled onto your channel over the weekend, and I've really been enjoying it thus far. I enjoy watching true crime stories, and you have a soothing voice. It's easy to picture it as having a conversation with a barista while waiting on my latte.

Your videos are very well made and informative, Thank you for your work! Ill keep watching!

Brand new fan to this channel. Why do i enjoy it? No cringy intro, no cringy environment setting narrative. Just tells all the facts in a way you can straight understand. Marvelous

This is a relatively common thing. People stew and build a big violent plan, then it sets in immediately. There's at least two dozen cases I've heard of where someone murdered a friend or family member with the intention of getting them out of the way before comitting a public masacre, but the first murder snapping them out of whatever was wrong with them so they just give up instead.

New subscriber here! Your voice is so soothing, making these crime stories less morbid to listen too.

After watching your video on Randy Stair I was looking for a way to suggest the case of Trey Sessler to you. I'm so happy to see you've already covered it! Can't wait to hear your take! Love your videos. Keep up the EXCELLENT work!

"Hi, my name is Mike, and in this old video..."

Looking At his earliest footage he looked healthy. Then later he was under the bridge he was wasted and skinny

I will watch videos about subjects I already know about just because you give more detail and more discussion about the topic. You’re the best my guy, the best.

Just came across your channel. Brilliant! Subbed 👌

I am so glad I found your channel. You present cases with so much respect towards the victims. Thank you for that.

He did his best to give them signs, its a shame the psychologist didn't pick up on anything. This is a sad story all around

After a couple of videos I've decided to subscribe to your channel I find it creepy, interesting and entertaining Keep up your awesome work

Thank you for your informative videos. Great job!

Your videos are so well made. Was genuinely shocked when I saw your sub count. Hope you rise up the ranks soon!

You have a very chill way of talking. Subbed. You should have more subscribers imo.

I was reminded of this case watching the Trash Taste Podcast, where Grant (Gigguk) was discussing his semi-friendship with the guy. It’s honestly shocking that some of us, many of us, have encountered these kinds of people, and really makes one think if we could prevent or at least see the warning signs

Thank you Adrian for another fascinating story, I am a super fan of your podcast and Im addicted to watching, the stories are so tragic and horrifying, yet it’s so important the stories are heard💛💛💛

This man was THE anime youtuber back then, such a sad fate for his family.

"So.... when do you first remember KZfaq becoming a thing"....that moment you feel instantly old.....I remember when the internet became a thing haha

Just found your channel bro and been binging your stuff all day long tbh :p your presentation is on point and you clearly make the difference between facts and speculation. Keep it up bro

Man I just phone this channel yesterday and have watched a bunch of cases already, you deserve way more subs

New subscriber here. Recently found you through the yandere video. Im a fan of true crime content but i just follow a few accounts in that category that i really like and now you are one of them 😋

This channel is going to explode 🙌🏽 love your videos and how much work you put in to telling us the whole case. Keep um coming’ 😎

Hi Coffeehouse Crime im from Malaysia and I'm watching your videos while doing my assignment. Thank you for making great contents!

Hi Adrian I love your channel keep up the good work!

I’ve watched a couple videos on this case already, but I really appreciate your portrayal of it and for adding different video clips. It makes this “old” case feel new and generates interest.

Though it is a speculation; I wonder if he may have sustained any type of head injury in his life, serious or not. The reason being is because, from watching Bailey Sarian's series, she made a comment that while looking up some of the killers and accomplices, the killers had a shocking ratio of having sustained a head injury at some point in their lives. Like she said and like I agree, I DUNNO IF THAT IS A THING THAT EFFECTS THINGS, but... maybe? It seems like it could.

I love that you're sooo polite speaking!

I remember seeing another True Crime video that delved into the fairly recent history of Mr. Anime, who he is as a person, his actions on KZfaq, and his murders. Sadly, that one basically treated him like a monster who deserved the death penalty (and a comment by a former friend of Trey, saying that he should burn in hell for murdering his family). This video is much better, going into the mental issues he had and making him seem more like a person. No, I'm not excusing what he did and he does somewhat deserve his punishment; but at the same time, I feel bad for him. He went down a dark spiral and by the time he was able to pull himself out, it was already too late.

I personally haven't heard of the majority of the cases you've covered and that's awesome! So tired of see the same story told by different channels.

Just found you, subscribed and am binging. These are all well done. I don't sub to many channels like this even though I like true crime shows, but you're the best I've seen so far. You have a pleasant voice and I like the way you tell it, it does feel like a friend telling me about it over coffee , and I like how it seems that so far you're not covering the super well known cases like Bundy or gacy, because people who would love this type of thing would already know about those guys. It's hard to believe you're a fairly new channel. Keep up the good work! There was a murder here in my small town that was interesting (and sad, I had met the victim because she was in nursing school and good friends with one of our friends) maybe I'll see that case on here someday. I think it made national news because he was a cop and his cop buddies clearly saw what they wanted to see until they couldn't be blind any more. But I digress sry lol. You're doing great and I look forward to more! 💜

It’s really sad seeing how he felt he had no choice after he regretted killing his mom and then he went to the school and stopped because of the guilt. Like I can’t really sympathize with his actions but I do feel some amount of sympathy for him when he regretted it

I really love how you make your videos. I’ve been watching true crime for several years. But your videos are well-paced and to the point, without being too graphic. And you always highlight the victim’s and who they were. Well done.

So glad I found your channel. Thank you for interesting content. I dread when it comes to an end yet look forward to a new video. Great work!

Every time I watch one of your videos I want to be on edge but I find myself so relaxed by your voice. At one point in the last video I just wanted to go to sleep after I watched the video about the yandere, you're doing amazing!

I wouldn't fully say his family died for nothing. As much of a tragedy it was. Their deaths prevented a massacre that could've happened at that high school. Only a loving family could've put that amount of weight on him to bring him back from the dark place he was in. Respect to them.

I feel That Chapter has spawned some of the best crime KZfaq channels. I’m subbed , love the format and the productions value. Thank you for the hard work on making. These videos top quality.

Imagine being one of his early viewers that got to see all of this happen while they were a fan of his channel..

Love your content brother!

I’m catching up on your videos since I subscribed……I really enjoy your introduction! I’m usually having a glass of wine instead of coffee in the evening. Your voice and invitation are very welcoming….thank you so much!

I'm glad to have come across your channel. I've been binge watching your videos. Thank you for the new content, can't wait till the next one. Much Peace & Love ☮💟

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels! Just found you yesterday.
