Hello Atlas crew:

Just a quick heads up, our latest video is live!

Picture this, it's an ordinary morning. You're walking to your car, ready for the daily commute. Then, out of nowhere, shots ring out, and for reasons no one can explain, you're the target. When police dig into what happened, what they uncover is beyond disturbing. It's a sobering reminder of how little some people seem to value human life these days.

On a lighter note, we've brought a new editor on board, so you'll notice a few improvements this time around. Grab a coffee (or whatever your beverage of choice is), get comfortable, and give it a watch when the vibe's right.

🎥 watch it here: [https://youtu.be/cxQw3C0BUlA]

As always, drop your thoughts in the comments, we actually read them, and if it resonates, a like or share goes a long way in helping this little corner of the internet grow.

catch you in the next one ✌️

NEW VIDEO IS UP AND IT'S A DEEP DIVE.

If notifications aren't reaching you, I wanted to make sure you didn’t miss this one.

Watch the new episode here: [https://youtu.be/agl87ekjD8o]

It started with a call to Seattle PD. A young woman had found a large suitcase with a foul odor on the shores of Alki Beach. The investigation uncovered one of the most disturbing cases in Seattle's recent history, a house of horrors in Burien and a former tech pro with a chilling explanation.

I've included a substantial portion of the suspect's NEWLY RELEASED interrogation, and it follows the classic arc, baseline gathering in the first half, then a confrontation where detectives don't hold back. It quickly becomes clear the suspect is comfortable chatting because he thinks he can talk his way out of anything.

What did detectives know walking into that room? What did he tell them? And how did they read his answers? That's what we unpack in this episode.

As always, thank you for watching and supporting The Crime Atlas as it grows. We genuinely appreciate it. If you've seen the video, tell us what you made of the interrogation!

Thanks again, James

During his interrogation, Chad Doerman repeatedly talked about wanting his children to go to heaven because he believed the Rapture was coming, but prosecutors ultimately said they could not determine a definitive motive.

After watching the interrogation, what explanation makes the most sense to you?

Folks, I don't usually do back-to-back uploads, but this one couldn't wait.

After three years, the Chad Doerman interrogation footage has finally been released, and The Crime Atlas is one of the first channels to receive it.

LINK: https://youtu.be/-RPGki4S40w

I'm dropping this early for you. You know the name. It's a chilling look inside the mind of a man who executed his three sons, a triple filicide.

Doerman never publicly explained his motive, and for years there was nothing but speculation. This interrogation finally sheds light on his reasoning.

Will we ever truly understand why he committed such a horrific act? Watch and decide for yourself.

I almost never use the Community tab for something like this, but today I'm making an exception.

This isn't about the channel. It isn't about a video.

It's about a puppy.

DONATE LINK: www.soulsofsatos.com/donate

I came across an Instagram post from a rescue organization seeking help for a severely malnourished puppy with a large open wound on one of her front legs. She needs veterinary care immediately, but the rescue says they simply don't have the funds to take her in right now because they're still waiting on adoption fees from several pending adoptions.

I know 455,771 subscribers won't see this post, and I'm not asking everyone to donate.

I'm only speaking to the dog lovers in this community who are both willing and able to help.

If just a small fraction of us gave even $5, it could be enough to get this puppy the medical care she desperately needs and give her a chance at a life she otherwise may not have.

If you'd like to help, I'll leave a link to the rescue organization's Instagram below, where you can contribute directly.

LINK: www.instagram.com/p/DbqqgyflnRu/?utm_source=ig_web…

If you're not in a position to donate, please don't feel any pressure. Even sharing the rescue's post or simply hoping for the best means something.

Thank you for considering it. Let's see if this community can come together and save one little life.


Sincerely, James

Hey everyone, hope you're all doing well!

Our latest video is now live:

"Is Momma Okay? Dad's Silence Said It All"
LINK HERE: https://youtu.be/cAqhTVNsOgo

This is one of the more heartbreaking cases I've come across in a while. A hardworking family's life is turned completely upside down by a bitter and ugly marital dispute. The bodycam footage is gripping, and the interrogation video is really something to see. More than anything, though, it's a deeply human story.

We also tried a couple new things with this one:

1. Interweaving court footage with the interrogation. I ran an early version past a small focus group, and the response was overwhelmingly positive. I'm excited to hear what you all think.

2. Bringing back the intro monologue. It's only about a minute long, but I realized I missed speaking directly to you before the story begins. These videos are made by a real person, and I genuinely enjoy connecting with our community.

Behind the scenes, this was one of the most challenging productions I've worked on. Tracking down the court records wasn't easy, there was a lot of profanity that needed careful editing, and we made the decision not to show the faces of several witnesses. They're young adults who were never charged or implicated in any crime, and protecting their privacy felt like the right thing to do.

As always, thank you for watching and for making this community what it is. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the new format in the comments, especially the courtroom/interrogation editing and the return of the intro monologue.

See you in the next one!

Hello all. As promised, our latest video is now live. You can watch it here:

[https://youtu.be/P3-BNZBNHLQ]

This week, we examine the profoundly disturbing case of Joseph Voigt. It's a story many of us can relate to. A family working hard, just getting by, making sacrifices, and trying to build a better future for their son. Tragically, those hopes ended in unimaginable heartbreak.

Full disclosure, some portions of this case may be difficult to watch.

As always, thank you for your continued support. It allows us to keep producing thoroughly researched, documentary-style true crime content. We hope you find the video informative, and we look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Best, James
