Killer Cop Completely Forgets His Gun At The Crime Scene
"Killer Cop Completely Forgets His Gun At The Crime Scene" is the newest documentary on STAYAWAKE - Crime & Psychology. The channel tells true crime cases in what its about text calls an analytical way, made by a film school graduate who writes, animates and edits the videos himself. This one follows the disappearance and death of a 16-year-old girl, and a police officer who left his own weapon near her body. As the description lays out, the video moves through the long investigation, recorded interviews, interrogations and the trial that followed.
It drew more than 600,000 views on its first day and is nearing a million. Most of the discussion underneath is about the investigation itself. Many viewers ask why about a month passed before a real search began. Others mention earlier break-ins tied to the officer and a passing driver who noticed a trail. Several also mention the defense attorney's blunt opening statement.
The channel puts out a video every week or two, so the days between uploads run quieter. Daily views are about half their usual level, and subscribers grew only slightly. Among older videos, "Burglars Accidentally Solve Multiple Murders" has passed four million views and is still drawing viewers.
Among true crime and courtroom channels of a similar size, Brian Entin had a big week, and STAYAWAKE added the third most views in its group.
