Happy New Year! The Bizarre Case of Leon Jacob and Valerie McDaniel
Added 2020-01-01 18:27:56 +0000 UTCHappy New Year everyone! I can't thank you enough for your support, you guys specifically, over the past year. It's been amazing, YouTube doesn't make things easy unless you're a late night talk show, so you guys are really keeping the channel going strong. Wanna do a few new things now in the New Year, travel being a main one. Planning on going to the west coast of the US and travelling around in spring time, and wanna film a shit load there, and then the east cost in the autumn and around new england, and then that Vanishing Triangle video in Ireland, and honestly just wanna try a lot of new things! Still in the genre, but just take things to a new level, that's the plan anyway. Thanks for being with me!

I’m actually teasing Mike about all the Canadian stories he does. I think he’s hit all the big ones except Clifford Olson unles I missed an episode!

2020-01-10 01:43:37 +0000 UTCThis is why I support the death penalty. Right at the end you said he will have at least 30 years to think about it. So he still has the chance to have a life after possibly trying to kill two people. This is madness. So many crimes with clear cut evidence showing guilt end up still with the defendant getting less time than they should. As for the lady killing herself she should never have been given bail in the first place. Another issue I have with the justice systems in many places.

2020-01-10 01:40:25 +0000 UTCThat interview in jail. Leon Jacob sounded like he was videoing a profile to upload on a dating app, "I'm driven, I like to work, I like to play, I'm an avid golfer, skier..." Not anymore, toots. It sounds like McDaniel wouldn't have done something so heinous if she hadn't hooked up with this piece of work.

2020-01-07 21:05:16 +0000 UTCI knew this veterinarian! I work as a vet tech at a specialty animal hospital & she was a well known referring vet in the field. I remember when it all went down & how much gossip went around. Then of course we were all shocked she ended her life. Our hospital sent her family flowers. Some of her really close friends totally did not like that dude & believe he influenced her to go this far and they also said how when she got out on bail that she should not have been left alone. Thanks so much for doing this story Mike! Really hit very close to home!

2020-01-02 18:23:17 +0000 UTCThank you so much Robert! Man this case was insane. Haha yeah right, she really wanted to twist the knife but I suppose I get it haha
That Chapter
2020-01-02 18:22:15 +0000 UTCAlways wanted to go to Canada! Haha so many cases, it's a joke it keeps coming up, so many more stories to tell!!

2020-01-02 18:21:11 +0000 UTCI'd have love to have seen the recordings too! What a conversation haha. Unfortunately I don't think they've been released, not yet anyway but if they do, oh boy. Thank you so much Pickle! I really appreciate your constant support, you're amazing and I absolutely must visit Australia one day! Hope you're doing ok over there and safe at the moment!
That Chapter
2020-01-02 18:20:08 +0000 UTCWow....these people who end up hiring a police officer to do the hit....it does make one wonder about the whole entrapment deal, and the fact that she did say to the guy, can't you just make him be nicer to me... we didn't get to hear the recordings, which is something I really loved to hear and see in your last clip, where you saw whatshername (lol - sorry) sit in the car and actually say she was 5000% sure she wanted it to go ahead - the fact that we didn't get to hear her say it, makes me want to know more. Anyway, it doesn't matter WHO you get to kill someone, if you're 'getting' someone to kill someone, it begs the question, how sane is the OTHER person? And how much is the person lead by feeling 'cool', thinking they're somehow moving 'up' in the criminal world by meeting hit men and so forth. It's disturbing to think that these ideas are appealing to young people, but watch any hollywood film and it's not hard to see why. If you can possibly put yourself in that persons very young and impressionable shoes, maybe you can begin to understand how someone can make such a big mistake. Afterall, the issue here is, is this a young person making a REALLY dumb mistake, or a practiced criminal plying their trade. The two are very different things and I love this clip and the one prior to this one for these reasons, hopefully these clips will make younger people stop and think about a few things if they are having these thoughts, and think it's cool that they're meeting 'tough' people, feeling power from the thought that they can have someone taken out. It's heady stuff for a young, naive person. Mike - you are a genius - love this episode of That Chapter, thanks again for the awesome content. You rock Irish socks!! :) lol Oh yeah - same goes if you find yourself in Oz - come hang out with me and my wee family of 3, we travel about and do funky things - festivals and circus and whatnot - happy travels no matter where you land mate! :)

2020-01-02 10:58:56 +0000 UTCYou're awesome, Mike! I'd love to see you do a few things on the West Coast. You're one of the few YouTube creators that has genuine intelligence and passion. You're welcome any time in California! Contact me if you find yourself in LA or San Francisco and also for all good hidden info along the cross-country routes, (esp. if you're driving.) Can't wait to see what you have in 2020!

Carolyne S.
2020-01-02 03:15:13 +0000 UTCBeen telling people about your channel non stop over New Years haha. This case is one I’ve seen covered a lot but this was the first time I’ve seen some of that footage so thank you! Actually didn’t like the girlfriend being so bragadocious in her victim statement. But I’m sure if somebody tried to plot to kill me I’d be pretty peeved too... lol.
Robert
2020-01-02 03:06:17 +0000 UTCYet another perfectly polished video upload when most of the western world is sleeping off its hangover and loosening their belt a notch - your work ethic is phenomenal, Mike! It's great to see someone doing what they love and beginning to reap the benefits from being a totally genuine guy who covers daunting but important subjects with such panache. And humour, when relevant! Your enthusiasm is infectious and I know I'm not the only one looking forward to more content and the immediacy that travel will bring you and the channel. Just be careful out there man!

2020-01-01 22:21:09 +0000 UTCHappy Happy New Year to you Mike 😊 I know YouTube make it really difficult for true crime content & constantly demonize those creators. This is the reason I am more than happy to support those channels! I would hate to see these channels disappear. You work so hard to create every video & it is very much appreciated! Look forward to seeing your travels. Have fun & be safe 💕

Lauren Stewart
2020-01-01 20:14:33 +0000 UTCThanks Lorna! Still figuring out what they are, as they're still vague ideas in my head haha. But travel videos for sure, when I go to the US there are so many true crimes case locations I wanna visit, that's a main one, so make these big long documentary videos

2020-01-01 18:57:14 +0000 UTCI witnessed this threw the Houston news as the story broke and the trial unfolded. I 100% believe that Leon Jacobs is guilty and deserves the punishment he received.
