2023's officially history! Here's my annual compilation of the year's darkest cases and mysteries, perfect for those who love falling asleep with a long video.

“He passed away behind bars in October 2022 to the dismay of…absolutely no one”
Lol. I love you Lazy!

[WadaPhaq]

1:04:02 Zhu passed away late 2023, people online started to investigate the case again and people started to accuse Sun again and actually started petition with Australian government to deport her

[AwesomeEmpress]

the letter sent to zhu ling's parents reads like an admission of guilt to me.

'yeah we didn't mean for this to happen but she deserved it. plus she's not even dead. if she wants to get to heaven, teach her better manners."

the gaslighighting and victim-blaming are OFF THE CHARTS. and to send it to her grieving parents??
e v i l

[amandahoffman]

5 hours of listening to Lazy Masquerade is 5 hours well spent. Already looking forward to 2024 compilation at the end of the year.

[BlueFlamer-vqiv]

Jennifer Stranges death is fucking insane the fact that the radio hosts got basically paid for her death and mocked and laughed at the victims pains is disgusting

[cdes]

Magnotta does NOT deserve parole. He will never change and is arrogant even behind bars. He has a YT page stating how great he is. He is DANGEROUS and WILL commit more sickening crimes. What about those traumized people who opened the packages? He intended to hurt sadistically for his own pleasure. It was a media frenzy and Rae had a valid point.

[FairLadySpiny]

Sasha Samsudean did everything “right”. Girls helped walk her home, she lived in a secure building, she even made it into her own damn apartment and she was still murdered. Cases like these give me an absolutely sickening feeling. You can do everything right and you still might get killed so some man can get off. It’s disgusting. While I’m glad Stephen was caught, it’s hardly a justice. Nothing can bring back the life that was snuffed out for a few minutes of his pleasure.

Stay safe, ladies.

Hey Lazy!


An account named Devin Loveland has recently popped up in my feeds, and he happens to have 2 videos (one over 6 hours long, and the other over 10 hours long) stock full of your narrations with ads removed.

Figured you deserved to be made aware.

Cheers!

How is luca magnotta living a better quality of life than me?! Wtf

[simplydepressed]

luka magnotta is the definition of a monster, truly evil creature.

[ReleasetheKracko]

Along the lines of the sleep watcher. When I was in college, we got an alert sent to us that a girl woke up to a person who had broke into her dorm room. But the person was watching her sleep and was touching her feet… freaked me out!

[rubicuevasb.]

I work as a housekeeper, and i love playing your videos to listen while i clean, im ready to spook more people with 5 hours of lazy 🖤

[zaiusz]

what kind of psycho goes around shooting cats wtf

[EventHoriXZn]

So about the Taiki case where the four youths cornered him and his girlfriend and beat him to death:

I've heard this case explained about 3 times now and for some reason, this time, a possible explanation clicked. While coverage of this case (rightly) focuses towards the potential police misconduct over the investigation, that actual nature of the crime itself is oddly intriguing.

A couple walks down a deserted street during a time when everyone is on holiday, and suddenly, four men target the couple, unprovoked. They leave the girlfriend *unharmed* and aim for the head of the boyfriend. They don't steal Taiki's money until *after* the beating. This actually rules out a lot of motives. Sexual assault, robbery and revenge are all off the table (had robbery been the motive, they would have made sure to secure his money first and not afterward). If they beat him for about 30 minutes, then they weren't really that anxious about getting caught, even if they had forced the two into a secluded area.

This crime appears to be *personal* and targeted in nature. The time and place was carefully selected so that the fewest amount of people would be around to do it, and a brutally long beating of 30 minutes is clearly meant to inflict passionate pain on the victim. How could it be personal and targeted if they didn't even know the guy? The remaining piece of the puzzle: the girlfriend.

You have to remember that the girlfriend is the first news of this entire incident even happening, since no one else was around to witness it. So she goes to the police and tells them this story about four "yankees" suddenly approaching her and her boyfriend, beating him to death and stealing from him, but leaving her completely unharmed with no idea why. No one else can be interviewed because no one else saw it. This kind of story is a story we hear a LOT from guilty significant others who plan their partners' deaths. Reporting strange words being spoken like "Oh are you the leader of our city?" are usual red herrings they use to throw the police off. The inability to recognize the majority of the criminals even though she spent a half an hour with them is also suspicious.

I believe Taiki's girlfriend set him up. I believe she lured him to the vending machine, with their backs turned, on a street they all knew would be deserted during this time of year, and pretended like this was a random vicious attack on her boyfriend.

Lazy, I totally understand why you feel that the person who created the gif knowing that the back story is sick, but because of your work, we now know about a beautiful young woman who should have had a more fulfilled life. Thank you.

[kkensh]

It's snowing. I have tea and am now lying in bed. This 5 hour video is now being put to good use. Thank you

[KyanoAngl]

Tbh, I'm not a big fan of unsolved cases. They disturb/upset me more than they intrigue me. The idea that the perpetrator could still be out there doing God knows what just makes it even more unsettling. On the other hand, solved cold cases, while bittersweet, are satisfying.

[hukeder]

Does anyone else fall asleep only to wake up when it ends and have to watch again? happy New Year Lazy!

[raemoebea]

Hearing "it was undoubtly a male, because he left the toilet seat up" got a laugh out of me, the story is horribly tragic but I find it a bit amusing that is how they were able to gain more knowledge on the suspect
