Description

On a warm August day in 2012, 26-year-old Bethany Deaton married the man she believed she’d build her future with, but just two months later she was found dead inside her minivan in a quiet area that didn’t match the circumstances of her final moments. What was first described as her taking her own life began to raise questions as details emerged that didn’t quite align, and people close to her started pointing to changes in her behavior and the influence of those around her. As investigators took a closer look, the situation became harder to explain, with new information suggesting that what happened to Bethany may not have been as straightforward as it first appeared… .

Hi everyone. I want you to know I see your feedback, I hear you and I completely understand your frustration. I am contracted to do 6 minutes of ads per hour+ video. I try to break them up like traditional TV commercial breaks so that they’re more digestible than being hit with them all at once. Maybe that’s the wrong approach. Also, about a year ago, YouTube changed their ad process where instead of creators manually placing YouTube ads, whenever you upload your video YT’s algorithm now scans the video and automatically inserts additional ads where they think it works in the video. I’ve seen the backend on some videos when over 25 of their ads are added in. We then need to go into the backend after this happens and manually change it, but often times that’s after a video is already published. I know this doesn’t make it any better, but I do want to provide context for what you’re seeing. This is why I try to upload extra videos outside of my normal release calendar without ads (like last Friday) so that in some way it hopefully balances out your experience until I’m able to adjust my contract in August. Again, I know this doesn’t solve the frustration and trust me, I get it. But wanted to at least let you know I’m seeing your frustration and actively trying to balance things as best as I can until I’m able to redefine things more formally. And while yes, I do get paid from the ads, they also allow me to employ several full-time positions and allows us to donate to multiple charities (Kendall’s being one of them- who I think very highly of). Appreciate you guys always being so honest with me and keeping it 100. xx Annie

It's not that I've never been fooled, but two things I know I will never fall for: 1) "I'm gone a lot because I'm in the CIA. It's a secret; you can't tell anybody". 2) Anybody, man/woman/child who believes or pretends to believe that they have some sort of spiritual high ground. Run, people. Run yiking for the mf'ing hills.

Don't ever let any institution or group tell or teach you not to question things. Question everything.

I believe the letter was a direct reference to her decision to marry him even though she new he was gay. He had not slept with her and was practicing a gay lifestyle and so she felt like she wasn’t a real person; she was depressed over the whole situation.

if people like Charles Manson can get arrested for convincing others to kill others, and Michelle Carter can get convicted for convincing her boyfriend to kill himself, then what do we make of Tyler and the other IHOP leaders?
