How Cops Found a Cannibal Hunting on a Dating Site
What did The Decoder add to its files over the seven days? Just one case. "How Cops Found a Cannibal Hunting on a Dating Site" is a documentary on a Michigan killing in which the victim was met through a dating site. Like much of the channel's work, it is built around the police interrogation. It has passed 325,000 views.
In the comments, viewers return again and again to that interrogation and how the suspect frames his account. Many also ask a pointed question about an earlier stage of the case: why charges were not pressed sooner against the man at its center.
The heavier lifting came from an older upload. "Cops Track Down Babysitter With a Rotting Body in Her Trunk," a documentary on the murder of Anna Primavere, is twelve days old and already above 1.1 million views. It is drawing far more daily viewers than anything else in the catalog. Behind it, a September case and a summer episode about a Washington woman who survived an attack by her estranged husband keep a steady pace.
Together they pushed the channel well above its usual daily pace, and it added about 4,000 subscribers to reach 508,000. Among true crime and courts channels of a similar size, only Attorney Larry Forman gained more views over the seven days, with Legal Mindset close behind. Crime Zone and Law&Crime BodyCam ran slower than usual.
