Skydiving Stunt Claims Daredevil’s Life: Watch At Your Own Risk

He was an experienced base jumper who had jumped many times before. But this skydiving accident would be his last.

Nathy Odinson knew what he was doing was dangerous and that he was in an area he was not allowed. If he had been arrested, he would have been alive today to talk about his attempt to jump from a 29-story building in Thailand. In fact, there were several flags that should have kept him from going through with his stunt.

Nathy’s brother Ed Harrison took one look at the video and immediately knew what was wrong. To understand the technicalities of this jump, notice that Nathy is holding a pilot chute in his hand. When he jumps and let’s that go, it catches air and the line pulls the main chute out of his pack.

What Ed noticed is the line wan’t routed right. it was routed through his harness, which means it wasn’t going to pull the main chute. If anyone had noticed this error, it could have been fixed. But neither Nathy nor his friend who was filming seemed to have put the parachute through the right checks. If they had, they would have caught the error.

When skydiving, it’s important to not only check the chute, but also walk through the process of jumping each time you jump. But daredevils start to think they can cut corners when they get hundreds of jumps in, which Nathy seems to have done. He looks like he’s in a rush and not paying attention to what’s important.

That’s not the kind of mentality you want to have when what’s at stake is your life. Deaths occur every year from freak accidents. But for a daredevil who is responsible for his own fate, it’s a shame that he didn’t take the time to make sure to reduce the risk as much as possible. Jumping from a height of 29-stories can only end one of two ways. The ideal way is that it’s successful. Then, there’s the other way.

Cyber Sleuths: The Idaho Murders and the TikTok Investigation

In an off-campus home in Moscow, Idaho, college students Ethan Chapin, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Kaylee Goncalves were brutally murdered on November 13, 2022 around 4 am. The Moscow Police Department, the Latah County Sheriff’s Office, and the Idaho State Police have all been involved in the case but cyber sleuths are utilizing the latest in technology in the vacuum created by what they consider a lack of leads.

On December 30, 2022 in his parent’s kitchen in Monroe County, Pennsylvania, Bryan Kohberger was separating trash and for some odd reason, he was placing it into plastic baggies. He was wearing gloves, which would imply that he was trying to keep his hands from getting dirty or to keep his fingerprints off of evidence. That’s when FBI SWAT busted through the doors and arrested him.

He had been under their radar for quite some time beginning with multiple tips of a certain type of car, a 2011 to 2013 Hyundai Elantra. After examining video, investigators found a specific Elantra that had been in the area and that had passed the Moscow residence a number of times. That car belonged to Bryan and the eyes of the invesigation turned its focus on him, his phone records, his suspicious activities, and finally a partial match of his DNA.

The phone records have him pinging off of towers near the Moscow residence around the time of the vicious stabbings. Observations record him wearing surgical gloves while carrying plastic baggies filled with trash to a neighbor’s garbage bin outside his parent’s home. Byan’s DNA found on that trash is a familial match to DNA found on a knife sheath at the crime scene.

Is Bryan Kohberger an open and shut case?

Cyber sleuths have picked up the slack they feel exists because they don’t see Bryan as a solid lead. So, they have taken it upon themselves to look over police statements and reports while also diving deep into digital clues such as videos taken of the victims. They’ve also visited Moscow, talked to family members of the victims, voiced their theories, and named their own potential suspects. This activity has investigators and prosecutors concerned while Lucie Jourdan is bringing those concerns to light in her documentary #Cybersleuths: The Idaho Murders.

When these amateur cyber sleuths name their own suspects, it has led to dangerous consequences such as cyberbullying. The documentary first started out pro of these unofficial investigations because some small town police departments aren’t as tech savvy as the kids on TikTok. But her findings began to point her documentary in a different direction and it became more of a warning that haphazardly calling out names online can create more chaos than good.

#Cybersleuths: The Idaho Murders is streaming now on Paramount+.

Psycho Murderer Takes Hunt To New Level In ‘Joker Joker Deuce’

Denise has innocently found her way into his radar and she doesn’t even know it. A psycho murderer has no business roaming free in this world but this is how they get away with it for so long.

She’s innocently reading a book in the student center on campus at Bridgeport University and has no idea that a stalker has entered the room. He finds a place to stage himself but he’s watching her every move. She doesn’t feel the vibe of his prying eyes but her night is about to become a miserable nightmare. Why? Why does he do it?

How was this psycho murderer created? That’s the part of the story that hasn’t been revealed yet. We’ve been given one glimpse into his childhood where his mother is getting ready to go out on a date. She’s trying to look the best she can and she’s talking about her date as if she has already married him. Of course, the young man is starving for a daddy and his mother wants to give him one. But it’s too soon in that relationship to even talk about those things.

Jeph doesn’t understand that. He’s too young to get that it makes his mother look desparate, and that’s the only glimpse we have into his past. What we know about him is he’s a loner who works in a subshop and he’s virtually invisible as everyone around him ignores him until he breaks the ice with an introduction. That’s when they look at him confused, wondering where he came from even though he’s been there all along.

It’s the book about a serial killer who stalks his victims using technology to know where they are and what they’re doing. Call it a flaw with social media but people don’t need to know this much stuff about each other. All that information is just the perfect data for professional thieves, scam artists, and psycho murderer loners like Jeph.

It’s the story developing chapter by chapter on Patreon that you can start reading now. After that, it will be released in print, ebook, and audio. But you can start reading it now. The last chapter is scheduled to be posted by the end of this month and then the publishing process will begins.
