His security camera footage revealed a CONSPIRACY · Crime and Horror

  Speaker 1: If you're like me, at some point in your life,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: you've discovered a conspiracy theory that you believed because you
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: researched it and there was all this information that showed
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: you this is no theory, this is fact, and why
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: isn't the rest of the world woken up to this
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: being true?
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: But you have to remember that when you.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Research a conspiracy theory, a lot of times the information
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: you're finding about that theory has been put online by
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: other people that believe the conspiracy theory is true. It
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean they can't be unbiased, but it means that
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: there isn't a dissenting opinion. A lot of times, there's
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: no skeptical opinion, there's no debunking going on. Instead, it's
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: a group of people that already believe it's true and
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: put information online that only validates it's true. And sometimes
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: they'll omit information that blatantly debunks the conspiracy theory. So
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: you got to be careful when you discover a theory
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: and you start researching it, because probably you're only seeing
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: one side. But in some cases these conspiracy theories turn
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: out to be true. Now, in today's story, we don't
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: know if this conspiracy theory is true, but we have
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: pretty difficult to refute video evidence, and we have believers
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: and skeptics alike saying, you know what this is worthree examining.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: I think that there might have been a cover up here.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: But before we get into today's story, if you're a
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: fan of the strange, dark and mysterious delivered in story format,

  Speaker 1: You, then I would encourage you to go to your
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: local supermarket and purchase a candy apple making kit, but
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: instead of using apples, use large red onions and dip
• 1:47

• 1:53
  Speaker 1: weekly uploads. All right, let's get into today's story. John
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Lang was a former US marine who lived in Fresno, California,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: and in twenty fifteen, while he was living there, he
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: was at a local store and he noticed in the
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: parking lot that some police were acting suspiciously. He did
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: some digging and he noticed that they were running a scam.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: The police would scam license plates of parked cars in
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: these parking lots, and if they got a hit, they
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: would wait until that person came back, got in their car,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: and drove away. The police would follow them and then
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: pull them over and act like it was just a
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: routine thing when they knew they were going to be
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: able to bust them on this particular violation. This was
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: totally unethical and totally illegal. So Lang began posting on
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: his Facebook about this scam, and he would tell people
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: that this was profit driven the Fresno PD. They operated
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: on a quota system, so the more people they could arrest,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the more money they made. Lang also began posting comments
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: on the Fresno Bee's web page. The Fresno Bee was
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: a local newspaper, and he would go to their comments
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: section of different articles and he would voice this concern
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: about the Fresno PD, and he would tell them that
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: they need to do something about this. You need to
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: investigate the Fresno PD. No one on Facebook was taking
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Lang seriously, and no one from the Fresno b was
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: reacting to John's claims that there was the scam happening.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: It's important to note at this time that the Fresno
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Police Department had a very bad reputation. The chief of
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Police of the Fresno Police Department, along with five other
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Fresno PD officers, had been arrested on drug charges. After
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: the chief of police was let out on bail, another
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: officer not inside of that initial group that was arrested,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: went to the chief of Police's house to confront.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: The chief because he was furious at him.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: That night, this officer was found dead right near the
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: chief's house with a self inflicted gunshot wound to the chest.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: The family of the deceased officer.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Was like, no way, he did not shoot himself in
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: the chest, but either way, no charges were pressed, although
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: many people in the area believed the chief.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Killed that officer and then covered it up.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Following Lang's very public critique of the Fresno Police Department
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: on Facebook and on the Fresno b Lang became very
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: concerned that the police department was upset with him for
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: uncovering their scam and that now they were following him
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: all over town and harassing him, and so as a
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: protective measure, he set up a camera on the outside
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: of his house watching the street and he started uploading
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: the footage to YouTube, and some.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Of the videos that he pulled are crazy.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Lang would upload seventeen videos to his YouTube channel called
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Lang Marine. Now every video has a fairly detailed caption
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: associated with it, where John describes what you're looking at.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: The first video is of this white pickup truck that
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: pulls up in front of John's property. Now, Lang would
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: say in the description that this particular truck he has
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: seen all over when he's out in public, and he
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: believes it's an unmarked car of police officers that are
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: following him. It's slow, rolls right in front of his
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: property and then eventually drives away. And then a few
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: moments later it drives back around and doesn't slow down
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: and drives right past his house. Following these two drive bys,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Lang would say that he got a series of.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Hang up calls that he thinks were.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: The police calling him to intimidate him. In the next video,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: you see a man walking his dog and stopping right
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: in front of John's property. John has a dog and
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: his dog runs up to the fence and the two
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: dogs starts smelling each other and at some point the
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: guide with the dog walks off. Lang believes that that
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: was a plain closed police officer that was conditioning Lang's
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: dog to not attack him if he were to come
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: into the property. Lang is suggesting that the Fresno police
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: are preparing to assault his property. In the third video,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Lang claims that he came back to his house and
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: someone had tampered with his security system with that camera,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: and he was now missing twenty minutes of footage. The
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: fourth video he uploads is by far the most well
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: known of any of the uploads, and it shows a
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: mini van pull up right in.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Front of his house on the other side of the street.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: They slide open the door and out pops the sky
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: with some very high tech camera equipment that Lang claims
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: is a thermal imaging camera and that they were scanning
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: his house to see if he was home or not.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Now whether or not this was actually plain closed police
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: with a thermal imager or not. If it was my
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: house and I saw someone across the street with that
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: piece of equipment, I'd have some questions about what are
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: you doing here? And apparently John felt just as concerned
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: as I would have been, because at this point he
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: files an official complaint against the Fresno PD to their
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: internal affairs. Lang claims that following that formal complaint, things
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: only got worse. He believes that internal affairs gave that
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: complaint to the rest of the police department and that
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: further upset them and made them target him even more aggressively.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: In the fifth video that Lang uploads to his channel,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: you see a guy in civilian clothes walking up to
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: the front of Lang's property and then stopping right in front.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: He kind of looks up at Lang's property and then
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: turns around and begins walking away, and they starts texting,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: and he gets into a car and he leaves. Lang
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: believes this was a plane closed police officer who was
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: seeing if he was home and then reporting what he
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: saw to the rest.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: Of the police.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: In the sixth video, Lang claims that police cruisers were
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: driving up and down the street at two am to
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: try to wake him up with their sirens. On the
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: seventh video, without reading the description, would mean nothing to you.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: When you read the description, it's pretty interesting.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: He says.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: The two guys that lived next door to him had
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: randomly invited him to come over. Now, he wasn't close
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: with his neighbors, but he agreed to go over. At
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: some point, once he got over there, he felt like
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: something was off. He didn't know what it was, but
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: he felt very uncomfortable, and so he decides to leave,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: at which point he says his neighbors did not want
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: him to leave. They were really aggressively trying to get
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: him to stay inside of their house, and when he
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: said no, I'm leaving, he said, they blocked his way.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: He managed to push past them walked outside. You see
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: them following him as he leaves their property and walks
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: on the sidewalk to his property. He has a fence
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: around his house and he's trying to get to his
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: fence to open it up, and they're blocking his way.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: They're not letting him go into his property. And then
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: when finally he kind of pushes past them to go inside,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: they start yelling his name. And Lang would say that
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: he thinks they were working with the police and they
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: had pulled him away from his house so the police
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: could go into Lang's house, and that when Lang was
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: going back into his property, when they were yelling his name,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: that was to alert the police that he was coming
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: back into the house. When Lang did go up to
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: his house, he saw that the front door lock had
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: been tampered with, and then when he went inside, his
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: computer and his printer also appeared to have been tampered with. Now,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: this is only what Lang is saying. There is no
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: proof that any of that happened, but that is the
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: context for that video. The eighth video shows two cruisers
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: showing up in the middle of the night and arking
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: out front of Lang's property, and at least six officers
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: get out and are just standing there under a street light.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: They don't appear to be doing anything.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: It doesn't make sense why they're there, but they stand
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: there and kind of look over at Lang's property for
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: a decent amount of time before ultimately getting back into leaving.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Lang says they were doing that purely to intimidate him.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Videos nine through sixteen are fairly unremarkable, but there is
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: one video where very clearly someone walks right up to
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Lang's truck and tries to break into it. It's not subtle,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: and Lang believes this was a plane closed police officer.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: The seventeenth and final video that Lang uploads shows a
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: carpet cleaning van pulling out up right in front of
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: his property.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: On the passenger side, a man gets out.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: He's wearing civilian clothes, just smoking a cigarette, looking up
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: at Lang's property, and they're there for quite some time,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: and at some point he gets back in the car
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: after they don't do any carpet cleaning, and they drive off.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: After uploading this final video, he goes onto Facebook and
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: he shares a link to that video and he tells
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: people to remember this van because he believed that the
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Fresdo PD were just days away from finally launching their
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: attack against him. Over the next couple of days, his
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Facebook posts become increasingly more panicked. He starts saying that
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: he regrets ever critiquing the police department. He says that
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: any moment they're going to come into his house and
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: kill him. Then, finally, in one of his last posts
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: to Facebook, he asks his friends, will someone come stay
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: with me?
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: I'm scared for my life.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: And while his friends were concerned, no one took him
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: that seriously, and so no one stayed with him. That weekend,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: John Lang was found dead inside of his house that
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: had been set on fire when the fire department showed
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: up to try to put the fire out. The door
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: was barricaded shut, and when the coroner did his first
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: initial report on the body, he said that Lang had
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: stab wounds all over his chest and his back, but
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: had ultimately died of asphyxiation. That initial report had been
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: given to some of the journalists that were reporting on
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: the story, and so they tweeted about it. John Lang
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: multiple stab wounds to the chest to the back, died
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: of asphyxiation. But following Lang's autopsy done by this corner,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: where two Fresno police officers were in attendance. Granted, it's
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: apparently customary to have police officers present for autopsies, but
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: it's worth pointing out for the context of the story,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: that same coroner retracted his statement about the location of
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: these stab wounds and said they were only located on
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: his chest, not on his back, and that they were
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: self inflicted and so this is a clearcut suicide and everybody.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Can just move on, and so they did.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: No charges were pressed against the Fresno PD, and this
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: was ruled a suicide. When the news came out that
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: this was considered a suicide, anybody that had been following
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: along John Lang's aims, either on his YouTube channel or
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: on Facebook that the FRESNOPD was out to get him.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: They were not buying that this was a suicide. They
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: thought that the Fresno PD was responsible. A number of
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Internet sleuths began investigating the case. That van that had
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: pulled up in front of Lang's property in his final
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: video when he said remember this van, Well, the logo
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: in the side of that van was for a carpet
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: cleaning company that didn't exist. Someone discovered that it was
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: a fake company. Also, they found out that Lang had
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: apparently tried to call his ex wife a number of
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: times right before neighbors had reported seeing smoke coming out.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: Of his house.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: There was this huge petition put together on change dot
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: org but still active to try to reopen the coroner's investigation.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: But despite the strangeness surrounding John Lang's case, it has
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: been ruled a suicide and there's no sign that they're
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: about to reinvestigate it. So did the Fresno Police Department
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: attack John Lang in retaliation for him discovering their license
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: plate scam? Or did John Lang commit suicide? Let me
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: know what you think in the comments and I'll do
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: my best to get back as many people as I can.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: If you liked this video and you haven't done this already, I.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Would encourage you to go to your local supermarket and
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: buy a candy apple making kit, but instead of using apples,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: put in a big red onion. Dip one of those
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: in there, and then give that to the like button. Also,
