the youtube true crime channels we should all get behind

YouTube has come a long way since its inception in 2005 by three average americano's who really wanted to see Janet Jackson's boob exposed during her 2004 super bowl performance on a loop. Now with over 2 billion monthly users and an eclectic array of content being shared every day, we're watching the past, present and future of our world through a 16:9 talking rectangle.  One of the ways I have always enjoyed learning is through multimedia platforms like YouTube and once I was done with  highschool and the need to watch every boring analysis on the themes of pride and prejudice, naturally I turned to learning about true crime. The psychology behind killers, the stories from the victims families themselves and understanding the harsh realities of the justice systems all over the world, you are given the complete information package on a case from any in-depth true crime channel video.

She's an adult, not yet old enough to be considered 'ready to make her own life changing decisions in life', but makes the decisions for a national company under the guise of the boss she works for because this woman can't remember what she wrote in an email thread she's got open right in front of her.  There's the smell of a fresh haircut lingering as she walks by and you're eyeing her bangs wonder...
