Hi everyone, welcome back to my channel. Today we're going to be covering the case of Trey

0:04.4

Sessler, also known as Mr. Anime. And there is a lot of fascination surrounding this case,

0:08.5

which I can completely understand because Trey was a YouTuber going by the name of Mr.

0:14.8

Anime. And it's just crazy, isn't it? Because he was quite a popular YouTuber as well back in the day.

0:20.0

And it's just crazy, isn't it?

0:21.2

Like, a YouTuber turned murderer. So Trey did join YouTube back in 2006, which is pretty much the

And he lived in Waller, Texas with his mother, Ronda, father Lawton and his brother Mark, who was older than him,

1:12.9

he was four years older than Trey. And Trey had a pretty normal, whatever normal it is, but he had a

1:18.5

pretty normal childhood. His parents were in a stable marriage. They were pretty comfortable.

1:24.4

There was nothing that I could find anyway that was out of the ordinary. His dad was a

1:28.1

teacher at a local elementary school and his mom worked at a local newspaper. And like I said,

1:34.0

they were pretty comfortable, like normal. They would do anything for Trey. They would actually

1:37.9

like provide him with anything that he wanted. And in school, Trey had a pretty normal experience
