    isn’t ryan part filipino?

  2. Srinivas Anusuri says

    0:30 what movie was that??

  3. Jamie Pollard says

    I love how you pronounce "Man Ray" with so much emphasis on the Ray as if he was a fish posing as a surrealist artist

  4. Dylan says

    On the wikipedia it says George died in 1999, same age.

  5. MJ SERAFICA says

    Can you please discuss Lucila Lalu next?

  6. stink ass says

    shane kinda looks like john deacon when he smiles

  7. Mr. Death says

    American horror stories holds the answer

  8. DokktorDeth says

    BORING

  9. Elizabeth Matthews says

    the guy in black is just the watcher

  10. r jessica vasquez says

    searched a bit about the case in the PH with G. Hodel and i cant believe that case started the whole 'chop-chop lady' horror stories. jesus

  11. lazy seal says

    I hope u redo more of the old episodes x

  12. Sam Oldridge says

    Come on guys just call cole phelps

  13. Sam Deckard says

    This makes me wonder if George Hodel's address was in Elizabeth's address book when given to the police.

  14. mackenzie leger says

    i read steve’s book about hodel and you cAnnOt convince me doctor george hodel didn’t do it

  15. Fairy Princess says

    … so who do you guys think did it I’m so lost

  16. MIHAI S. says

    High IQ and wanting to be an artist? lol

  17. GreenBoi says

    "I got my scoba tank, lets go digging!"

  18. Back when The Son Of Sam Mirders Happened, The Mob Pit Out Hit Squads for him. Meanwhile he's living 15mins aways from where I leave. That Building and my friend lived next to guy with the Dog, it's a weird feeling.

  19. The Mob & The Dirty Cops Had Strict Rules to Never Kill Women or Children. Unless the Woman saw Something. And they Bury People they Killed.
    Maybe it was the Zodiac's Father's Murder.

  20. Audrey Boo says

    Do dracula

  21. Grace says

    I know who murdered her, it was Lucious, klaus mikaelsons old friend, he murdered his victims an then slit their mouths the exact same way… where are my originals and tvd fans at?

    In all seriousness though I wish her spirit well

  22. Allyson Rose says

    Why does George Hodel look like Howard Stark…
    I aM unComForTabLe wItH ThIs InfoRmAtIoN

  23. Desirae Arellano says

    You guys didn't mention his connection to Wilson Phillips (the 90s band), the pictures they found in the ceiling of his house or his affiliation with the occult.

  24. Death Cats says

    It’s also a song. And a band

  25. Carey Roberts says

    I hate when people assume clean cuts mean surgical skill.. just means they are calm under the circumstances and have a steady hand. Seems like back in the day these cops would ignore a ton of potential subjects based on the idea "oh that person couldn't do that.. they're not capable of surgery".

  26. Matthew McKnight, MA, LMHC says

    Inaccurate information. You didn't even get Dr. Hodel's year of death correct.

  27. Lulume says

    Do you guys have a “solved.” Serie as well. Its frustrating watching this so good videos but at the end I ended up where I started…. why why?!?!? .
    .
    But hey, its pretty darn good!

  28. Reinminer says

    Though I'm hungry, I'm glad I didn't eat before watching this because ick

  29. Aryanna Azhari says

    u guys shld do a case on mona fandey look it up!!!

  30. AJ Yeehaw says

    "Little George's fingies"

  31. SUBSCRIBE TO PEWDIEPIE says

    did you guys ever think that maybe why they went on a long break was not only because they needed the vacation but Shane's bowlcut ( How worst can you spend $100 video) was way to distracting for the show?

  32. Hugh Mungus says

    funny how the title says "chilling" but the way you guys present it it becomes "hilarious"

  33. gachaclub _mari_ says

    I remember this episode

  34. Ayesha Farooq says

    Ahs anyone? :3
