Not sure about the killer's motives in any of these cases. Let me know your thoughts below.

If I hired an investigation team to look into my family's murder and they brought in psychics I'd be pisssed

[bizarrostormy]

As somebody who grew up around the area where Jodie disappeared, I can say that most locals believe her disappearance was caused by local organized crime and the police force wanting her gone. The story she was working on was a tell all and at the time, the area was still rural enough that police could do this kind of thing. It's commonly believed that she's buried under a machine shed in the backyard of the at-the-time sheriff's house, but he's refused to let anyone search for years.

[maggiedk]

For the frozen head story - it's possible that he did something to someone's child or family member (that he was never charged with) and they decided to take justice into their own hands. I think this makes more sense than someone just looking up his name and confusing him for another person; it would better explain the severity of what was done to him and what was written on him.

[maledictionwolf]

Regarding the last case: there has been more than one instance of persons going missing in the woods remains being found years after the initial search less than a mile from the starting point of that initial search. It's amazingly easy to miss a body in the woods, especially heavily forested and remote areas where the underbrush obscures large amounts of the ground from view. It would not be surprising for the search teams to have missed something, and it's far more likely that's the case than a killer carrying her body 100km.

There was a billboard that was cryptically vandalized, stating "Frank Stearns, Machine shed"; in 2011 one of the ex-police employees from that department had come out and said at the time, the police were covering up Jodi's disappearance. It's definitely possible Jodi was killed and buried in the machine shed of Frank Stearns.

[Carriebloss]

I can’t help but giggle when you say “Minnie-un-Apple-is”
This case was very horrifying for us in our neighborhood, and still horrible to think about

[KatKaleen]

I feel so bad for the families of missing people that fall victim to scammers. A true psychic - if such a person existed - would NOT flaunt their ability. They would not contact the family, they would contact the police directly and NOT ask for any payment .

[LydiaHyacinth]

I used to live in Mason City. Jodi's case always gets to me. I even did a report on it in high school. I remember when someone reported that her body was buried by the community college. There were backhoes and such around the area for a while, but nothing came up. Some people are sure she was buried under a former sheriff's shed. The sad truth is that we don't know, and there's never been enough evidence to point to any one person. I really hope things like your video help keep it in people's minds and someone will come forward with something they know. I'd really love to see this case solved.

[Kiefsti]

Last case, Hinton Alberta. Something you have to realize about the area, it's a huge trucker's pit stop. There is a steady stream of semi's, horse trailers, transient workers, etc.
Whoever killed Stephanie (and absolutely it was a human not an animal), could be from nearly anywhere.
Hinton has hidden dangers in it.

[leomacdrunk]

About the Jodi case. Considering she was doing a huge undercover story on the meth pipeline in North Iowa and how close this was to the Dustin Lee Honken murders I’m sure as much as anyone there’s a connection but may never know (Honken was executed 2018)

[drifter]

Just to let everyone know, established titles is a scam. It's a complicated thing but the government of scotland does not recognize their "titles".

[MushroomMayhem]

We live outside the Twin Cities. My husband and I just in unison snapped our heads towards the TV and exclaimed "WTF did he just say???" 😂 Your mispronunciation of Minneapolis just cracked us up and made our day!!

[BabyBalrog_RJTC]

I live in Alberta and had never heard of that lookout case. I'll have to look into it. I will say, it sounds like the lookout is right next to highway 16, AKA the highway of tears. That stretch of road (all the way out to the coast of British Columbia) is notorious for people (especially indigenous women) going missing and never being seen again. It's beautiful out there but also so eerie.

[antonydrossos]

This is the 1st episode of Lazy Masquerade I’ve watched on my phone (instead of my laptop). Man, does that opening piano for hit different!

[Mewse]

Adam' "Malicious punishment" charge. While it may be limited to corporal punishment generally, it is possible that they gave him that as part of a plea deal for a sex related offense in order to get him to plead guilty. It would not be put of the ordinary in the slightest.

[amodernalchemist]

The last one is a weird case. It's too bad that all of the cautionary measures weren't in place before she went missing. Why is it that changes are always made *after* the tragic circumstances take place? If there were, at the very least, security cams at the lookout then we would know what happened to this poor woman.

I broke up with my girlfriend today, i'm a total mess rn and new lazy video is just what i need to cheer up.

Thanks man, keep doing your thing. You are the best.

[Jane-ozpp]

Fun fact: Scotland no longer recognises landowners as Lords and Ladies.

[sofr]

lazy, I’d love to see you do a video featuring the case of Kristin smart, a college student who went missing in the 90s and whose killer and his dad were just convicted. it’s really disturbing and convoluted :(
