00:00In December of 2022, the authorities in Northern Ireland came across a bizarre crime scene

00:05where the most likely suspect was somehow in two places at once.

00:10It all started on the 18th of December when Irish YouTuber VotesSaxon07, whose real identity

00:15as 33-year-old Stephen McCollin, livestreamed himself playing GTA Vice City.

00:20The stream started at around 6pm and Stephen stayed live for about 6 hours, till midnight.

00:26The stream itself was quite unremarkable, with Stephen playing the game mostly in silence

00:30broken by his occasional commentary.

00:32Unfortunately, while he was streaming comfortably in his home, his 32-year-old girlfriend Natalie

00:37McNally was going through something downright horrific.

00:41Stephen however was completely unaware of this and promptly went to sleep after ending the

00:45stream.

00:46The next day he woke up to a barrage of calls and messages regarding Natalie.

00:50She was apparently at her parents' house the night before to watch the World Cup finale.

00:55The match ended at around 6pm and Natalie went back to her home shortly after, which

00:59wasn't too far away.

01:01She lived alone in Northern Ireland with her two cats and a dog.

01:04However, the next day no one could get through to Natalie.

01:07She didn't show up to work and wasn't picking up her phone either.

01:10At the time, she was also 15 weeks pregnant with Stephen's child.

01:15So when she went silent, her friends and family grew worried, fearing she was facing some

01:18health concerns.

01:20After learning about her absence and waiting a few hours for a response, Stephen went to her

01:24home, which was about 20 minutes away from his home in Lisburn.

01:28Unfortunately, he was too late.

01:30When Stephen arrived at Natalie's home, the door was wide open.

01:34Inside he found her lifeless on the floor.

01:36She had been killed.

01:37Detectives from the major investigation team have now launched a murder investigation following

01:44the death of Natalie McNally in Lurgan.

01:47This follows the results of the post-mortem.

01:51The 32-year-old died a violent death, having been stabbed a number of times, and there are

01:58signs of defensive injuries.

02:01Post-mortem reports showed that she was killed on the night of December 18th, not long after

02:06she came back from her parents' home.

02:08However, investigators did not find any evidence of a forced entry into her home.

02:13This combined with the fact that Stephen was the one who reported her death to the police

02:16made him the lead suspect in her murder investigation, and he was arrested shortly after.

02:22However, this arrest didn't last long, because as the authorities quickly found out, Stephen

02:26had a strong alibi.

02:28According to the post-mortem report, Natalie was killed during the same time Stephen was

02:32live streaming from his home.

02:34Investigators looked through Natalie's phone and found the last text Stephen sent to her

02:37at 5.57pm which read,

02:40Right, I'm off the stream the night away, wish me luck.

02:43To which Natalie replied,

02:44I might have a peek at your live stream later.

02:47This was enough to clear Stephen's name from any wrongdoing, but it left investigators

02:51with no clear direction on where to look next.

02:54Stephen did give them the name of someone he suspected, however investigating that

02:58person didn't lead to any breakthrough in the case either.

03:01And the name of this person was never made public for this reason.

03:04Luckily, detectives found CCTV footage a few days later showing a man dressed in dark clothes

03:09and white shoes heading towards Natalie's home at 8.52pm.

03:14And then the same person going back about 40 minutes later.

03:17Given his timing, investigators determined that this was the killer.

03:20Shockingly, he had the same height and build as Stephen.

03:24This put him on the radar once again, but it also raised a valid question.

03:28If Stephen was the perpetrator, how could he be in two places at the same time?

03:33Without any other option, the authorities put a £20,000 reward for information regarding

03:37the killer and continued investigating.

03:40They also feared that by the time they started this investigation, the killer could have easily

03:43fled to any of the neighboring countries.

03:46In the meantime, Natalie's case had become national news, resulting in multiple memorials

03:50around the country.

03:51This put even more pressure on the investigators to find the killer as quickly as possible.

03:56They made several arrests and even seized the suspect's car.

04:00Investigators also found the weapon the killer used on the 5th of January, 2023, which was

04:04a knife from her own home.

04:06However, none of these developments brought them any closer to identifying the killer.

04:11That is until January 31st when they arrested Stephen again, but this time with solid evidence.

04:17As it turns out, the only thing keeping him out of suspicion, the live stream, was completely

04:21fake.

04:22The whole thing was pre-recorded and broadcasted to simply look like a live stream.

04:27After his arrest, investigators went through his computer and found the original recording,

04:31which was made on the 14th of December, four days before the incident.

04:35They also found a taxi driver who described picking up someone matching Stephen's profile

04:40near the murder at 9.30pm and then dropping this person near Stephen's house.

04:45Most importantly, according to the taxi driver, this passenger had forgotten his wallet at

04:48home so he quickly ran inside his house to get the money.

04:52And as expected, he ran into Stephen's home.

04:55All this evidence left no doubt in the fact that Stephen was the one who went to Natalie's

04:59home to commit a predetermined crime.

05:01In hindsight, there were plenty of suspicious moments during the fake live stream that should

05:05have raised more alarms.

05:07For starters, the stream was titled, The Violent Night Christmas Live Gaming Stream.

05:12At the start of the stream, Stephen also claimed that he was having technical issues with the

05:15streaming software, which he used as an excuse as to why he wouldn't be able to interact

05:19with the live chat.

05:20Well, because this streaming software is kind of up the left, it means I can't check the

05:26live chat, which is a real shame.

05:29So by all means, talk amongst yourselves.

05:31This ensured that no one questioned why he wasn't talking with his viewers, which is essentially

05:36the whole point of doing a stream instead of posting a pre-recorded video.

05:40At the start of the stream, Stephen made sure to repeatedly mention what day it was.

05:44Hello, hello to all on this glorious Sunday evening.

05:48Um, yeah, so I just thought, why not?

05:51I'm gonna do a live stream, because this day next week is Christmas.

05:55Uh, so what more could you want for Christmas, other than an evening with your old pal Stephen?

06:03This was likely an effort to make his alibi stronger and to say, look, I was streaming

06:07the same night, I even mentioned the day at the beginning.

06:09On top of that, many moments in the stream also took on a far more disturbing meaning after

06:14the truth came out.

06:15Like him singing about killing someone in-game, which can also be interpreted as him cryptically

06:20talking about his girlfriend.

06:37At another point during the stream, he makes a pun that sounds like Natalie's name and finds

06:42it unusually amusing.

06:59The most creepy moment, however, was about halfway through the stream.

07:03While he was on break, suddenly the live stream back soon graphic switched with a poster of

07:08a James Bond movie called No Time To Die.

07:18Stephen later claimed that this was an accident.

07:20He accidentally dropped his controller on the keypad, which made the strange graphic come

07:24up.

07:25But since we now know that the live stream was pre-recorded, Stephen deliberately included

07:29this graphic at this point during the editing, likely alluding to the crime he was going to

07:33commit on that day.

07:34This theory becomes even more credible once you consider the fact that this movie poster

07:38came up at about 9.15pm, which perfectly aligns with the time he was at Natalie's house

07:42committing the brutal crime.

07:45That said, his clever schemes were derailed and he was charged with murder.

07:49He was also refused bail.

07:51And at the time of writing, he's awaiting trial on May 6th, 2025.

07:55Hopefully Natalie and her family can get the justice they deserve.

08:02On April 4th, 2020, Ernest Wilson went live on Facebook during a house party, without knowing

08:07that these were his final moments alive.

08:10Ernest was a 24-year-old warehouse worker living in Baltimore, Maryland.

08:14The only passion he had in life was for partying, playing board games, and turning them into

08:19drinking games.

08:20Unfortunately, the 2020 pandemic and the subsequent lockdown closed every public venue he frequented.

08:26So, he decided to take matters in his own hands and came up with a solid plan.

08:30He would rent Airbnbs, host an invite-only party which he referred to as a game night

08:35with a fee to cover the expenses, and have a good time with his friends.

08:40These parties started off small but quickly grew in numbers as more and more people became

08:44aware of them.

08:45And on April 3rd, he went onto Facebook to plan another party that weekend, asking,

08:49Should I do game nights again this weekend?

08:52And We plan hide-and-seek at game night tonight?

08:56After receiving enough confirmations, he decided to go ahead with the plans and announced a two-day

09:00game night with free entry for girls and a $5 fee for the guys.

09:04Not long after this announcement, he also made a post about bringing uninvited people, stating,

09:09Please don't show up with nobody I didn't personally invite if we didn't discuss it first.

09:14They're going to get left outside.

09:16Maybe he had experienced problems with uninvited guests at past events.

09:20Or maybe he simply wanted to know the exact number of attendees ahead of time.

09:24But in hindsight, his concern makes a lot more sense.

09:28As the night approached, Ernest started the event and it went just as well as he could

09:31have hoped with everyone dancing and having a good time.

09:34That is until 2.30am when the group decided to play the hide-and-seek game they discussed

09:39earlier.

09:40Ernest took charge as the first seeker and began a countdown at the Airbnb's backyard.

09:44However, as soon as he began searching for his friends, he stumbled upon something completely

10:01unexpected.

10:21He saw someone trying to jump the fence and break into the property.

10:25Now, the correct response would have been to go back inside to safety and call the cops

10:29on this intruder.

10:30However, Ernest was already a bit under the influence at the time and made the biggest

10:34mistake of his life.

10:36He decided to confront the man on his own and that's when things took a turn.

10:40The intruder was armed and after some back and forth, tragically shot Ernest before fleeing

10:45the scene, all of which could be heard on the live stream.

11:00The police arrived at the property at 2.45am where they found Ernest lying in a pool of his

11:05own blood.

11:07According to the few statements that were released to the public, this appeared to be a case of

11:10a robbery gone wrong, however, some believe there was more to the story.

11:15This is because during Ernest's struggle with the intruder, a girl can be heard laughing

11:19in the background.

11:27As the story goes, this girl was an accomplice of the intruder who planned to either rob the

11:30place or eliminate Ernest for some reason, with one person on YouTube writing,

11:35That girl tried to let someone in the front door or she knew who tried coming through the

11:39door.

11:40Once discovering it was locked, she told them to hop the fence as clear as day.

11:44I would start with her boyfriend.

11:46Unfortunately, from what I can find, the police never caught the suspect and Ernest's case

11:50remains open to this day.

11:52So whatever their motive was, I doubt we'll ever know, especially five years later.

12:01On September 7th, 2024, a 32-year-old man by the name of Joseph Couch opened fire on vehicles

12:07traveling down I-75 near the city of London, Kentucky.

12:11Joseph managed to hit 12 cars, injuring five people.

12:14Fortunately, there were no fatalities.

12:16As authorities rushed to his location, Joseph managed to escape into the wooded area alongside

12:21the highway.

12:22This left the investigators with no choice but to search the Daniel Boone National Forest,

12:26hoping to find the mass shooter.

12:28In the meantime, they also began looking into Joseph's past and made some chilling discoveries.

12:33He served in the Army Reserve from 2013 to 2019 before receiving an honorable discharge

12:39due to him developing PTSD.

12:42More importantly, this wasn't his first entanglement with law enforcement.

12:45Back in 2015, he was arrested for throwing a rock at a dog and then pointing an AR-15

12:50at its owner.

12:51Joseph had to pay $1,000 for bail and the case was later dismissed a few months later.

12:56However, the same year, he was arrested again.

12:59This time for supplying a minor with alcohol and vandalizing private property with spray paint.

13:04This resulted in him having to spend six months in jail alongside 200 hours of community

13:09service and a $1,500 fine.

13:12All of this highlighted just how mentally unstable he was.

13:16Something that became even more apparent when investigators factored in the messages he

13:19sent to his ex before the shooting.

13:22These read,

13:23I'm going to kill a lot of people, well at least try, I'll kill myself afterwards.

13:29His past record and these texts also made it clear that Joseph wouldn't go down without

13:33a fight if they managed to find him.

13:35Unfortunately, the search for him wasn't progressing as smoothly as they'd hoped.

13:39The search for the suspected highway gunman Joseph Couch intensifies as law enforcement

13:44has expanded its search efforts.

13:47State police say they are extending their search deeper into the Daniel Boone National

13:52Forest as the manhunt for Couch enters Day 7.

13:56Local agencies were forced to close a section of I-75 and shut down schools, fearing Joseph

14:01might strike again.

14:02Eventually, they did manage to find his SUV, which also had numerous cases of ammo for the

14:07AR-15 style rifle he used for the shooting.

14:10However, this didn't provide any clues about his current whereabouts.

14:13In a desperate measure, the authorities put a $35,000 reward for finding Joseph to enlist

14:18the help of locals.

14:20And that's where the McCoy couple entered the picture.

14:22Fred McCoy and his wife Sheila operate a museum dedicated to the historic feud between

14:27the Hatfield and McCoy families in Kentucky.

14:30They also run a small YouTube channel dedicated to this museum called Hatfield McCoy Museum

14:34Adventures, where they discuss the various aspects of that feud in greater detail.

14:39After hearing about the massive reward, the couple decided to give it a go.

14:43They had lived in the area their entire lives and knew the wilderness well.

15:00They also decided to livestream their adventure through the Kentucky Forest on YouTube, likely

15:04to have an instant record of whatever they find.

15:07They truly believed they could find him, and luck was on their side.

15:11Because during one of their livestreamed expeditions, Fred noticed a whole bunch of vultures hovering

15:16over the same area, possibly indicating a rotting corpse nearby.

15:20The two decided to head towards the vultures.

15:23And just 30 minutes later, the McCoys found what they were looking for.

15:26They immediately alerted the authorities, who used DNA testing to confirm the body was indeed

15:50Joseph Couch.

15:52A later autopsy report also confirmed that he went through with the plan he talked about

15:55in his message.

15:57After 13 days of searching, the I-75 shooter mystery finally came to a close, ending the

16:02manhunt and easing the fear of Joseph still being out there.

16:09On October 28, 2019, a 47-year-old Japanese man named Tetsu Shiohara livestreamed himself

16:16climbing Mount Fuji.

16:18And what was supposed to be nothing more than a fun stream quickly turned into an avoidable

16:22tragedy.

16:23You see, Tetsu had been climbing Mount Fuji since 2017 and had already reached the summit

16:28many times.

16:29However, all of those previous expeditions were during the climbing season, which stretches

16:34from July to mid-September.

16:36And while it's not an easy task, it's far safer during these months with maintained trails,

16:41milder weather, and resting huts along the way that also sell essential supplies like food

16:45and oxygen cans.

16:47So when Tetsu decided to climb the mountain in late October, it was already covered in

16:51thick, slippery snow.

16:53And the conditions were far harsher than he could have imagined, with winds reaching up

16:57to 60 miles per hour.

16:59All of the resting spots on the mountain were also closed for the off-season, but despite

17:03this being his first off-season climb, the unfavorable conditions did not deter Tetsu.

17:09He was determined to reach the summit and make it back in a single day.

17:13Unfortunately, the stream didn't get off to a good start, as he forgot to bring essentials

17:17like thicker socks to keep his feet warm and crampons to prevent his shoes from slipping.

17:21Later, he also commented on how he didn't bring any food with him to avoid making his backpack

17:39too heavy.

17:40But as the climb continued, not having food became the least of his worries, as he quickly

17:45realized the snow that day was deeper than he could have imagined.

17:49On his way to the top, he passed several points where the trail had collapsed due to bad weather.

17:54About two hours into the hike, his viewers started to notice how dangerous things were getting

17:57as well and began urging him to turn back before reaching the summit.

18:11However, he ignored all the warning signs and pressed on with the hike, and by sheer willpower

18:17actually managed to get close to the summit.

18:19Sadly, this is where his luck ran out.

18:21While treading through a particularly steep section of the trail, Tetsu slipped and fell

18:28down the mountainside.

18:30Seconds after slipping, his phone hit a rock and turned off, ending the live stream.

18:48His viewers immediately alerted the authorities.

18:51However, due to the harsh conditions, it took rescue workers two days to locate Tetsu's body.

18:57They found it severely dismembered, 2,300 feet below the point where he'd slipped.

19:03Now for most people, this was an open and shut case of an inexperienced and underprepared

19:07person misjudging the dangers of Mount Fuji.

19:10But I came across some interesting theories regarding the situation.

19:14For example, one person stated,

19:16I don't think he wanted to go exactly how slash where he did on the mountain, but if you

19:20ever saw the live stream, you'd know that he definitely was planning on doing it, probably

19:25at the top.

19:26The chat was begging him to turn back and he made constant, likely deliberate references

19:30to not being fully equipped.

19:32Additionally, he had a very ample and generous amount of time to turn around if it had purely

19:37been a mistake, with the last few people he met warning him to not go any further.

19:41In other words, Tetsu intended to end everything that day.

19:45The missing equipment was a deliberate decision, not an oversight.

19:49Although there's no evidence to prove this theory, and we'll never know for sure if this

19:53was actually his intention.
