Growing up in the 60's in Illinois we kids had the entire run of the neighborhood. Mom's looked out for kids. Dad's put bandages on skinned knees. When hoses came out for sprinkling in the heat everyone played in it no matter the yard. We went in for lunch and back for dinner and went in when the street lights came on. This was our summer routine. HOWEVER, my father was an alcoholic. We would beat my mother in front of us no matter how hard she tried to get him away from us or us away from him. One night, a particularly bad night, my mother was working. We had a lovely 16 year old sitter named Sharon. My father was really drunk. He placed a kitchen chair in the center of the kitchen so he could see both the front and back doors. His shotgun across his lap waiting for my mom to come home. There were five of us kids. Sharon quitely took all of us kids to the back bedroom. She opened the window and put my oldest sister and brother out first so they could catch the rest of us. She then quietly took us through backyards until we were at her parents house. She called our mom at work and saved her life and our life that night. She was only 16 and had the presence of mind to save us all, herself included. I miss her.

No, no no no. A 3 year old? Really? I'm disgusted. Truly. I was holding my breath hoping you didn't say it but you did. My heart goes out to everyone involved, truly despicable.

People who harm children, animals, and/or the elderly should be executed immediately, not warehoused in prison. I have yet to hear a case where any one of these people have ever redeemed themselves. They are a waste and we need to treat them as such.

I am sorry to say this. I am a retired paramedic .I worked in a very busy urban city. People can’t believe that things happen to children etc. etc. but they do. More than anybody knows. These are just the ones that get reported. My mom was a sex crimes prosecutor for the county of Los Angeles for over 30 years and it’s horrific. How she could do that is beyond me. She reallyfought for the people who had no voice.

I love how you cut right into the story instead of a repetitive intro. I dont even mind short promos to make the channel money but intros get so boring after you watch a channel for awhile.

"OK, yes, I do enjoy committing heinous murders, and yes, I do dabble in sexual assault of victims of ALL ages, even toddlers. But I won't stand for being accused of something as outrageous as kidnapping!"

I lived in Anchorage when this happened. I was absolutely horrified about it. All I could think about was how those 2 little girls did what they were told. Go to their room and wait. And they did, they went to their room and waited to be killed. That freaked me out so badly that I (being a fairly neurotic parent.... my poor kids...) anyway, that freaked me out so badly that I told my oldest that if anyone, and I meant ANYONE, came over and I told her to take the 2 littler kids into their room and wait, that they were to go out the window, immediately.

Other than him being a psycho, it seems that him getting off easy early on made him feel like he could do whatever he wanted to. Accountability is a huge part of how people turn out later in life

I wonder what became of the other boys who also set those rabbits on fire and dumped them off a bridge. Psychopaths one and all, is my guess.

I cannot even describe the sort of rage I feel when I hear that people do this kind of stuff to children 🤬

Sounds like the police did a really good job at preserving the crime scene and taking all the evidence they could. Good job on them for that🙌

his mom really let them down by not mentioning it.

A lot of people hate defence lawyers but Always remember: defence attorneys try to keep innocent people out of prison and go after the cops that harm the public. Imagine a legal system you can't fight against.

Anyone who could hurt little rabbits like that is a monster capable of anything - as soon as I heard that part I knew this was going to be a tough one to get through 😢🐇💕

Just when I think this dude couldn't be any more vile, he says "eggsacs". Now I have to go back to bed to restart my day.

I lived upstairs from them, and I baby sat the girls when she worked nights shifts at Gwennies (a restaurant that encompasses Anchorage). They were such wonderful people. As for Kirby, I wish we had a death penalty here, and he made it in the news paper for some crafty shit he makes while at Spring Creek (our max prison). I know he has a good life there- he needs to suffer, not make crafts!!

How can anyone look at a child and see anything BUT a child?!? They are to be loved, protected and given the chance to grow up without having memories of some a**hole hurting them! There’s sick and then there’s evil-evil is what someone has to be to hurt kids like that.

Why do I do this to myself. Whenever I hear about kids being hurt it really hits me so much harder than hearing about an adult being hurt which already causes me some distress. I still really like the show though.

My ex did EXACT same sheit. Its crazy how long a psycho can commit such shenanigans until they are finally put away. He's not ever getting out of prison. He was in the news a few times. He stalked me across state lines and found out where i worked. Still have nightmares.

He really really is a Monster and more!! What a horrific crime , especially involving two little girls.. 🙏🏽 So sad…

This is one of the most fucked up cases I've heard in quite some time...

he really checked off all the characteristics of a psychopath at such a young age

So, as a child, Kirby told a social worker that he doesn't want to do crime but his circumstances will lead him that way. And the social worker did NOTHING! What do they even exist for? 😡

I nominate Kirby as “Monster” of the year in the “I’m a Monster and loving it” category.

I just love after the intro n his voice “this is monsters “ then the piano , my heart starts racing lol I just love this show ! Been here since the beginning yr doing amazing keep it up 👍 ❤️💯

wow the investigators actually put in work for once instead of horribly fucking it all up.

I appreciate your straightforward delivery, and very pleasant voice.

Of all the unbelievable crimes this POS committed, I love that it was driving with a suspended license That bagged him in the end.

I've ate at Gwennies probably close to 100 times and never knew any of this! This is Monsters continuing to shock me with each new upload lol

Kirby asked Nancy if he could stay with her and John again and she agreed, not wanting to turn away a member of her husband’s family. Not long thereafter, Kirby’s father and stepmother visited Kirby. Kirby and his dad got into a fistfight and John had to intervene and break up the altercation. Kirby’s mother contacted Nancy and claimed her son was talking about suicide. Nancy was afraid he would harm himself in front of her daughters and asked him to leave. He was furious, but left nonetheless and moved in with an acquaintance of his named Dan Grant. Kirby is also suspected of killing two Native American girls but not enough evidence was found to charge him.

I think once your sentence goes over 100 years - they should be donated to medical science.

Those poor little babies and their mum 😞…the father! The pain and fear they must’ve been going through in those last minutes is unimaginable 😢. I hope their husband/father is doing ok today although I don’t know how anyone could be. I hope this vulgar excuse for a human is being “taken care of” every single day of his pathetic existence!!

This is the only channel that I’ll watch crime stories on, that have already been covered a million times. Always great narration and and a refreshing, no nonsense approach

Thank you, there's a book written on this case called Murder* in the Family I believe and it felt like no one ever really mentions this one. Great video as always!!!

This is absolutely horrendous! Not only am I sickened, saddened, and disgusted, but the word monster doesn’t even begin to describe someone who would do this to others - especially to children. I have three young grandchildren - and while they can’t be kept in a bubble or away from the outside world, it really scares the shit out of me that animals like this roam the earth and walk among them…among us all. My heart goes out to the victims and their loved ones - as well as anyone else out there who has been a victim of such violence❤️

This case showed a fantastic investigative and forensic effort by Alaskan authorities especially pre-DNA. I just wish they put the same dedication, effort, and attention to MMIW in Alaska.

My heart hurts, a mother & her angels 😭🙏👩‍👧‍👧 may they find some kind of ease & are together in peace...much love to all, be safe & look out for our babies (no matter either age) also for eachother, the monsters we fear, do exist

Let's gooooo Giles!! Thank you for all of your hard work. I can't believe you went from a few crime vids and podcasts to SEASONS. You deserve all the views.

I really hope other prisoners took their “frustrations” out on him even better than he did to everyone he came in contact with!

I saw this story on another show but you really did the story justice. Sleep in peace to the victims. I can’t even imagine the agony of the mother of those two girls during their final moments

Imagine having a cute name like Kirby and you end up being a murderer

I don't usually watch this type of channel, but my brother recommended your channel and this story in particular to me as it reminded him of the stalker I had in high school who turned out to be a neighbor and was a lifelong criminal until his death in 1999. I think you did a good job of telling Kirby Anthony's violent troubled story.

They should’ve granted John Newman an hour so he could attack Kirby Anthony for what he did, even though that wouldn’t have been enough punishment. Poor guy 😞

As always thank you for giving us so much information on the lives of the victims...may they all RIP...

Wow.. I mean, How in TF do you attack n r*pe ur own aunt and two young 8-3yr old little cousins?! Then just wash the blood off ur Johnson n rob the crap you want and leave like it was NOTHING?! Ughhhh.. this vile pos is the living embodiment of an Evil Monster. How dare he, esp after Nancy trusted him.. ugh.. if I were Nancy’s husband I would’ve felt so betrayed, I would’ve taken him out myself. No trial. Just period. Ugh God bless that poor family & may be burn in hell for all eternity. ❤🙏🥲

Hang on... the judge said it would be too intrusive to take a sample from him.. after what he's done?!?!?! 🤬

Here you go again, you are so good with the details. I started listening to this not knowing who the heck Kirby was and then it came together. This is the very first Crime Story I ever listened to on Forensic Files and I became interested in the subject. Thanks for always being awesome at this.

Your narration is both to the point, while also maintaining great commentary and humor even on the darkest subjects. Becoming a huge fan

He's horrible! Rabbits getting savagely killed is a huge Red Flag!

Thank you so much for all the goodies you put out for us! 💜

You know it's awesome to hear you narrate these cases, because it fills the void of not having Peter thomas no longer narrorate forensic files. The man was a lenged and you my friend are right there with him.

He is a Monster. Anyone who can hurt children are, these kids were family, it just goes to show you how little he cared for anyone but himself. Jiles you are the best.

Nancy here wants to send my respect to her Nancy’s family . Sorry for this tragedy to All the families affected. His eyes are very dark looking .

Thank you!! This is Monsters has been my constant favorite❤️ i believe its a combination of your story telling, personality and voice.

I recently watched this story on another channel, but didn't think twice about watching it again because I knew you'd have way more details. You are exceptional researcher

I was starting to question whether yesterday was actually Thursday because there was no new episode.

You know what I do when my kids forget to feed the dogs and cats. I forget to feed the kids!! I do..it works!! The kids realize its not fun to be hungry and know they understand what the pets go through when they forget to do something so simple. It teaches them to not just think about themselves. The first time they forgot I was at work and asked them to feed the pets dinner. Well I worked late and got home at 10pm. They were STILL playing video games while all the pets were crying!!! Selfish!!! So the next night they didn't eat dinner and went to bed hungry. And you know what NEVER again have they ever forgotten to feed the pets and actually now remind me if I am late in feeding them!!

I want to thank you for raising awareness to victims of DV. I run a DV/SA shelter and know firsthand how hard it is for victims to get out to safety. The extra information you give at the end of your videos can save lives, that matters!! Again, thanks❤

The research that goes into your videos must be intense. TIM is the most in depth channel I listen to, kudos to you guys for all of the hours your plough into each and every vid. As a viewer, I really appreciate it, thanks guys!

First time in a while that I absolutely adore this lunatic's sentence. He'll rot forever

I watched this case on the FBI Files…your coverage is waaaaaay more detailed! Thank you kind sir

This was one of the harder ones to get through.. listening to the description of the crime was heart wrenching, it genuinely made my stomach churn

Thank you for covering an older case. You are a true crime reporter, in a sea of all these new KZfaqrs.

Thank you Jiles! Sound is nice and crisp! This was another deranged and twisted POS , amazing research and narration! Some crime stories you just need a shower after ! ☮️🌼🐝safe

I told my boyfriend (who doesn’t really partake in true crime like I do) that your channel is so incredible and my favorite. Because no matter how many times I’ve heard/watched/researched a case nobody had the details that you do! I always, always learn something brand new even if I heard the case 12 times before. Thank you!!

This is one of those stories that you never forget. I've heard several versions but, like usual, yours is the most detailed. I'm a true crime junkie and your channel is my favorite.

Canadian customs: "Bugger off, eh."

Good Evening, Jiles and fellow Monsterers 💖

If he is still living, there isn't a single man in that prison...

Your detailed storytelling as well as reacting in a way that most of us would to the chain of events just earned your channel a new sub. 💯

I wonder if Giles would ever consider doing a video on the murders of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom. I JUST learned about these poor souls this week, and have been having a hard time sleeping because the story of their deaths is just so gut wrenching. Seriously, I have heard tons of dark tales, like most of the folks who love channels like these. And for some reason, my sick brain is usually able to be relatively unmoved, and I always consider this kind of content as entertainment (again, I know that sounds sick/bad). BUT I really regret learning about Channon and Christopher. It's really got me distressed in a way I have never experienced. I think part of it is because there were 5 perpetrators who did unspeakable things to them, rather than just 1 sicko. That's what we usually hear about- the lone evil monster. But with this particular story, it hurts my heart knowing that 5 people could get together and all agree to commit such heinous acts against two young kids who were about to go out on a Saturday night. They were literally scooped up by the perps during a carjacking and taken to a house in a rough neighborhood. It was there that unspeakable things were done to them. For as gut wrenching as it is, I would love to hear Giles do a series on this one- maybe one episode on each perpetrator, going into detail as to how they came to be such monsters. As a mental health professional, I am very curious what goes wrong in one's life to turn them so evil and depraved. Anyway, if anyone doesn't already know about this case and you're considering reading up on it, please know it's going to hit you in a really tough way.

Crazy how many of these people exist

Always love the way you tell a story. Also love your intro. Thank you!!!!

Giles, you are a masterful creator of difficult content, striking what must be a difficult balance between irony and despair. You rock! Respect from your biggest fan(atic) in the American Southwest. D

You are my favorite channel ❤️ My heart skips a beat when I see those thumbnails pop up. Please never leave us

Sentencing judge did the right thing. Thanks for putting this man away g

I want you to know that my wife and I have listened to/watched every single episode and will continue to do so. You're awesome. 🤟

Omg I remember this story 😭 It was the handprint above the daughter's bed that brought it back. The washcloth and the stolen tip money confirmed it. Great job as always, Jiles. You always manage to unearth new details I haven't heard before.

Hey Jiles and everyone… Thank you for all your hard work.. 🥰🤘 much appreciated

I've live in Anchorage all my life, we could literally have a channel dedicated just to Alaska killers

Anybody that harms animals is always a sicko to their core. Those poor rabbits what a horrible death. I also wrote this right after he told about it.

If I were the husband/father in this situation... Nothing would be able to stop me from beating Kirby's mother within an inch of her life. To not tell your own brother that your son has been in and out of prison since childhood and was accused of harming a 12 year old girl and THAT'S why he moved... Disgusting.

Keep up the good work fella and, as always, stay safe!

Monsters, please consider doing “The Spenard Motel” in Anchorage. It’s sort of Alaska’s version of the Cecil Hotel on skid row in Los Angeles. My daughter worked there. She saw murders, found dead bodies, saved people from overdoses, etc. lots of good material for an upload.

I absolutely love your style of delivery and you clearly put a huge amount of work into making this content, gives a lot of inspiration to us smaller true crime channels so thank you for that, showing what good looks like!

This channel is one of a select few where in all confidence I can hit the like button as soon as I click on the video! I want to make sure I never forget!

Don’t go down the hall they’re all dead is an insane way to inform someone of a murder my god 😭😭😭

Setting rabbits on fire and parachuting them from a bridge! How is this not a red flag the size of a planet?

I know the topics are horrible but some how your voice is so comforting and your story telling is so unique I just love your channel so much! Thank you for your hard work.

You tell it well. Love your content, voice, research, the way you share some of your views on the people involved. Thanks. Much respect to this poor family. I hope they are resting in peace..

No.....this was no monster; this was the devil himself.....itself. What he did to those babies and their mother was straight up diabolical.

Yet another fantastic story ! My fave channel for murder mystery content by a clear mile !!!

You have the best true crime content hands down, i recommend it to everyone, please never stop

Thank you so much for your dedication to awareness and always giving the numbers and places we can reach out. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤you help make a difference

He actually had bugs living on his balls. That’s absolutely disgusting 🤮

I absolutely love your stories! You narrate in a wonderful voice that just keeps me on the edge of my seat yet relaxed enough to go to sleep afterwards. I do wish there were more of them and more often. I do appreciate all you do and you have a fan forever! ❤️👏👍

Thanks! For no other reason than the amount of times you’ve had to explain your joke! 😂😂 That and your channel is brilliant and helping me through long covid. Stay safe, from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ✌🏻 x

It's "too intrusive" to forcefully take a sample from him???? After what he did??? What a world we live in...

Wow, excellent video as always! You never disappoint. Not heard of this case before but so grateful his was sentenced consecutively - good on that Judge. Kirby was most definitely a monster. I wonder how he is doing in prison? 🤔

Thank you for sharing this video essay, I really appreciate and enjoy your work. Take care of yourself. 🙂🐿❤️🌈
