Hi guys, how are you?
Hi, my name is Bailey Sarian and today is Monday,
which means it's murder, mystery, and makeup Monday.
Ready theme song all together now.
Sha na sha, sha na sha, sha na cha cha, sha na sha.
If you are new here, hi, my name is Bailey.
Every Monday I sit down and I talk about a true crime story
that's been heavy on my noggin
and I do my makeup at the same time.
Okay, look, last night I stayed up until 4.30 in the morning
just, I was engulfed, is that the correct word,
in this story I was reading about
and this is exactly why I started Murder, Mystery, and Makeup
is because I do this a lot when it comes to true crime cases.
I just like get obsessed with it
and then read as many articles as I can.
And next thing I know it's almost five in the morning
and I'm like, what the, yes.
So I was like, you know what?
I'm gonna attempt to do this today.
This story is like, what the?
If you're interested in true crime and you like makeup,
I would highly suggest you hit that subscribe button.
Today's story, I do have to add a big disclaimer.
Warning, the following presentation
is intended for mature audiences.
It contains graphic descriptions of crime scenes,
adult dialogue, and strong language.
Viewer discretion is advised.
I've mentioned this before in a previous video of mine
where I told you guys my dirty little secret.
I told you that something that really interests me,
something that really gets my noggin going,
reading or learning about cannibals, cannibalism.
I don't know, I think because what I have gathered
is that it's so far opposite of anything that I know
or experience, so I just get like obsessed
with learning about it.
I told you guys I'm a very curious cat.
Meow.
Cannibals, you can't live with them.
We could definitely live without them, okay?
Welcome to Chili's.
This story takes place in Russia.
When I was researching these cases in Russian media,
they blurred out the face of the victims
and also they didn't share their names.
In the US and UK articles, they shared images and names of the victims
just to not step on anyone's toes.
Look, you never know who's watching, seriously.
I'm not gonna mention any victims' names.
So yeah, I'm just not going to, okay?
I don't know what the right thing to do.
Like I'm just me in my room, you know?
How am I supposed to approach these sometimes?
Today's story is about Dmitry Bakhsheva.
Dmitry was born in 1982 in Southern Russia
and shortly after his birth, he was placed into an orphanage.
It said that his birth mother at the time
was just not in a position to where she could take care
of her child, she had to give her baby away, she didn't want to,
but that's I guess what she had to do.
Dimitri was staying in an orphanage until the age of three years old,
and at this time he was then adopted by a lovely married couple
named Svetlana and Vladimir.
Growing up it was said that Dimitri, he was shy, he loved animals, but he also just liked playing by himself.
Like he was a loner is what his adopted parents would say.
When Dmitry was 15 years old, his adopted mother,
she was diagnosed with cancer and sadly, like it was quick,
she passed away.
It was said like a week later she passed away.
So it just was like bad news, bad, awful news.
Not even bad news, just boom, boom, you know?
Dimitri's adopted father turned really mean
and violent towards him.
He kicked Dimitri out of the house at 15 years old.
He told him, don't return, you're not wanted here.
So he kicks him out. The translation was a little rough here,
but I think when he kicked him out,
he either gave him like a loaf of bread,
like here's your food, good luck,
or he gave him a piece of bread,
but there was bread involved.
He gave him like bread and was like, bye.
So Dimitri had to do what he had to do.
I mean, like he would sleep wherever he could
and whether it be like neighbor's house, anyone's house.
And eventually poor Dimitri just ended up on the street.
He was struggling to find a job
with frustrations building up.
His only option was to rob a store and steal a car.
And most of the times, I don't condone that.
I mean, I really don't condone that,
but like I understand.
I come from a place of understanding.
Robs the store.
He hops into the stolen car.
He tries to take off.
He doesn't get far.
Doesn't get far at all.
He gets caught, he gets arrested,
gets taken to prison.
Now, while in prison,
it's said that his adopted father never visited him and no one came to see him.
It's sad because like when you're 15, 16 years old,
you're in prison and nobody's there for you.
You have nobody.
I mean, that has to be really, really hard.
You know, when I was reading this, I was like,
man, that fucking sucks.
Oops, sorry.
That sucks.
Secret in beauty.
Dimitri ends up staying in prison for a little bit.
He does his time and then he gets released.
And when he gets released, he's out.
He needs to find a job now.
So he gets lucky and he finds a job doing construction.
Paying well, he was excited to have a job,
have some kind of income, you know?
Things are, you know, looking up.
He has a roof over his head and a job.
I mean, now Dimitri's personal life, his social life,
it wasn't too great, okay?
He didn't really have any friends.
He never had a girlfriend before
and he was still considered a loner.
People who interacted with Dimitri,
like his fellow coworkers,
they would say that Dimitri was, quote, untidy,
and that he liked to talk with strange people.
It's said that Dimitri liked to hang around local bars,
and he liked to hang around people who liked to drink a lot,
although Dimitri, he rarely drank himself.
People just thought that was weird
and they just gave him the title as the weird one.
Now one night while he's out,
at least he's trying to have a social life, what assholes?
Maybe he just felt more comfortable
in front of people who were drinking.
I didn't think about that.
I think that's rude.
While Dmitri was out at one of these bars
trying to at least attempt to have a social life,
that's where he met this woman named Natalia.
Natalia is also involved in this story.
So let me give you a little background about Natalia.
She was also born in like Southern Russia
and Natalia was born in 1975.
She was raised by her mother and her grandmother.
And during Natalia's preteen years,
her mother sadly passed away.
So she was left just with her grandmother
who raised her until she was an adult.
Natalia would often talk to her classmates
and even her grandmother
about how she wanted to become a doctor.
Like that was her goal.
She was going to be a doctor.
Once Natalia finished high school,
she went on to medical school in Kuban.
Natalia, now an adult,
she worked some time as a senior nurse
in the sanitation department of Krasnodar.
I rolled that R.
But there she worked at a higher military aviation school. and she's a nurse, and she's a nurse, and she's a nurse, and she's a nurse, and she's a nurse, and she's a nurse,
and she's a nurse, and she's a nurse,
and she's a nurse, and she's a nurse,
and she's a nurse, and she's a nurse,
and she's a nurse, and she's a nurse,
and she's a nurse, and she's a nurse,
and she's a nurse, and she's a nurse,
and she's a nurse, and she's a nurse,
and she's a nurse, and she's a nurse,
and she's a nurse, and she's a nurse,
and she's a nurse, and she's a nurse,
and she's a nurse, and she's a nurse,
and she's a nurse, and she's a nurse,
and she's a nurse, and she's a nurse,
and she's a nurse, and she's a nurse,
and she's a nurse, and she's a nurse,
and she's a nurse, and she's a nurse, and she's a nurse, and she's a nurse, and she's a nurse, and she's a nurse, and she's a nurse, and she's a nurse, and she's a nurse, and she's a nurse, and she's a nurse, Natalia and her husband, they have their first son together.
They welcome him home.
Not long after she had her son, her husband passed away.
Yeah, there's just a lot of death going on so far, right?
After a rough start, we all have the ways that we cope
with loss and hurt and pain and all that stuff.
And the way that Natalia dealt with her pain and her hurt
was that she began to drink a lot.
So then what?
Okay, so she's like trying her best
to like keep moving forward,
but at the same time, she just had a lot of loss
and she's not doing well.
So she starts drinking a lot.
She began to mix her alcohol with her drugs.
Like she started doing drugs as well.
And she just started mixing the two.
And that's something you definitely should not do.
She got to a point where she kind of thought like, I can't do this anymore.
My life is just kind of a mess.
She began to not care about keeping her home nice and clean.
She started not to just care about life.
So then she decided to just check herself
into a mental hospital.
She thought that she needed help.
So she was like, I'm gonna try and receive help.
Now, when Natalia gets there to the psychiatric hospital,
she tells the doctor that like,
she thinks something's wrong.
She thinks she has some kind of manic disorder.
So this doctor decides to do some tests on her,
and they come back and they tell Natalia,
there's nothing wrong with her, she's 100% fine, and they let her go.
Now this is a side note, but there is a theory going around that
she didn't really need to go to the mental hospital.
The main reason that she went there really need to go to the mental hospital. The main reason that
she went there was to have this on her record, not because she was really sick or wanted to stay,
she just wanted to be there and have like a paper trail that would back up her story. It'll make
sense in a bit. Natalia ends up getting fired or let go from her job because she was drinking a lot
and it was affecting her work, which honestly did not slow her down.
I mean, if anything, that made it worse for her.
Natalia is going out and she's drinking a lot.
And that's when she meets Dimitri, remember?
We talked about him earlier today.
Now Natalia was seven years older than Dimitri.
It didn't bother the couple.
They really hit it off.
They seem to have a lot in common.
Now, shortly after meeting, Natalia's like,
"'Hey, my husband just died.
"'You wanna move in?
"'I have extra room.'"
Dimitri ends up moving in with Natalia
pretty quickly after meeting her.
Natalia and Dimitri ended up dating for about five years,
and then they ended up deciding,
"'Hey, you know what?
"'This is really working out.
"'We're just like really doing this, great.
We should get married.
And so they decided to get married.
And remember I mentioned in the beginning earlier
that Natalia had a son.
You know, not much is said about like where he was at
during this time.
And I don't wanna, you know, I don't wanna piss anyone off.
So I'm just kind of like tiptoeing around him.
But he was there for the relationship.
But once they got married,
something happened where he just was not into it.
And the son, Natalia's son,
he ends up moving out of the home.
A family acquaintance would later come forward
and say that her son was really embarrassed by her drinking.
And he just decided, you know what?
I'm just gonna cut ties with her
because I just can't do it anymore.
So that's what he decided to do.
And he ends up moving out and he moves on with his life.
Once Natalia's son moved out,
that's when they decided, Dimitri and Natalia,
they decided to move.
Dimitri was having a really hard time finding work.
Things really slowed down for him.
He thought if they moved, they could have new opportunities.
And at the end of the day, hopefully, you just have more work.
You know, he got bills to pay.
So the couple moves, and they're ready to start new opportunities,
new lives, new chapter.
Now, September 11th, 2017.
So there's a road crew who's out working construction.
These guys, they see like something
on the side of the street.
They're like, what is that?
Let's go check it out.
So they go and they check it out,
these construction worker guys.
And they pick it up and they're like,
this, it's a cell phone.
Cool.
So they did what a lot of us would probably do
and nobody would admit that they did it.
Liars, cause I know you would.
But they open up the phone
and they go straight to the photos.
Curious cat, what's in here?
Whose phone is this?
Let's go look.
And that's when they see something
that they probably wish they never saw.
While scrolling through the photos,
I mean, I guess it was like the second photo in,
so they really didn't scroll that far, okay?
Scroll, boom, there.
What did they see?
It's a photo of a man with different parts of what seems to be like a dismembered human body.
And it's in his mouth.
So it's a selfie with body parts, human body parts that were not his, in his mouth.
So this obviously freaks out the construction workers.
They're like, holy sh.
So they call up authorities.
Authorities come down and they take the phone
in for evidence, obviously.
Police are able to go through the phone and see like,
okay, what's the situation?
What's the stitch?
Did I say, what's the stitch?
They see exactly what the guys were talking about.
It was a man, it was a photo of a man, it was a selfie.
He was posing with a woman's head.
Oh, what seemed to be like a hand.
He was holding the head and he had the hand in his mouth.
Now the hand was like dismembered.
Also her head was dismembered as well.
So then authorities are like, well, you know,
let's just keep scrolling in here.
And of course there's just more photos
of what seems to be dead bodies, body parts, wigs,
lots of wigs, hold that thought.
But based off of these photos, I mean,
they had to find whose phone this belonged to.
Authorities were able to take out the SIM card
inside of the phone. They were able to take out the SIM card inside of the phone.
They were able to put it into their system
and they were able to see that the phone belonged
to somebody named Dimitri.
They go and they pick up Dimitri
and they also pick up his wife, Natalia,
and they bring them in for questioning.
Now, while they are being questioned,
of course, they're separated,
so they're not in there together.
So first they question Natalia and they say like,
"'Hey, so we found this image on your husband's phone.
"'Can you maybe like fill us in on what this is?
"'Can you explain what this is?
"'Has he ever killed anybody?'
And Natalia sees the image and she's just like,
"'What?
"'That's crazy.
I had no idea.
And so authorities just keep pushing
because they can tell that something's not right
with Natalia's response.
She's just, like if authorities pulled you into an office
and was like, hey, we found your husband's phone
and there seems to be dead bodies on here.
We all have different ways we would act our response
to things like this, right?
But Natalia's response was just so like out of the ordinary.
So they were like pushing her on it.
Like, so do you know what this photo is?
Why would he have this on his phone?
Like, yeah, Natalia, why?
They keep pushing and pushing Natalia. She goes from being like, yeah, Natalia, why? They keep pushing and pushing Natalia.
She goes from being like, what, that's crazy,
to now she's like starting to talk a little bit.
She tells authorities, probably the stupidest thing
I've heard in a very long time.
She tells authorities that she was walking home one day
and she had Dimitri's phone on her.
When she was walking home, she came across a dead body.
I know, weird. Just like...
And she decided to take photos of it and that would explain the photos on the phone. Of course,
authorities are not buying this, but she denied, denied, denied. I don't know what you're talking
about. I was walking home one day and I saw a dead body. I took a picture of it, you guys.
It's not a big deal. Now, I don't know how it works out there, but I have a feeling, well, I don't know.
I doubt there was just dead bodies everywhere, right?
I could be wrong.
I mean, what the, I don't know shit.
Authorities get access to the place where they stayed at,
and this is where they realized the couple
was just like a damn mess.
If you've ever watched the show Hoarders,
well, it looked a lot like that.
There's trash, there's clothes, there's just stuff,
jammed pack in every corner of their place.
Clothes are seen across the floor.
Don't even know what the floor looks like.
Papers and other clutter on just about every surface
of this place.
It's not very big, but wow, it was bad.
So they're looking around, they're digging for evidence very big, but wow, it was bad.
So they're looking around,
they're digging for like evidence or something.
Maybe that will answer some questions
as to like what this was on the phone,
because that's what they're trying to solve.
Okay, and look, this is where it gets rough.
One of the authorities are going through like, you know,
the kitchen junk drawer that we all have
that just has like just junk in it
is the best way to describe it,
the kitchen junk drawer.
Well, Natalia and Dimitri had one of those as well,
but in this junk drawer,
they had numerous cell phones in there.
They counted up to 10, I believe, just cell phones.
So what's that about?
They find a stack of photographs.
Wait, how's that song go?
Look at this photograph.
Now authorities come across a stack of photos
and they were going through this huge stack.
I mean, they were like, wow,
these people really like taking photos
because there are so many of them.
There was tons of photos and they're looking through
and they're just seeing like all these different people.
Okay, lots of different people,
Natalia and Dimitri all hanging out
with just a bunch of people.
So they're thinking, oh, you know,
these are obviously like their friends and stuff.
They're all hanging out.
And then the stack of photographs
just really took like a dark turn.
Com slash makeup.
Biotic Plus to your subscription today.
Get this, I saw the photo, okay?
It's, oh my God.
One of the photos that they found was of a man's head.
Now, it's a severed head.
It's a real head, chopped, okay?
And it's presented on a silver platter.
I'm not kidding you, it's on a silver platter.
The head, and we have the silver platter,
and then around the head, it's surrounded by fruit,
orange slices to be exact.
So they're examining this photo
and they see that olives were inserted
into this man's eye sockets, olives.
There was a lemon placed on this person's nose. Now, when they look at the date of the photograph,
it was dated December 28th, 1999.
Now, at this point, when authorities
are going through their home, it's 2017.
This photograph was dated 1999.
How long has this been going on for?
Is this the only one?
I mean, obviously it couldn't have been
because they just found that body on the phone.
Next, they go over to the refrigerator, and next to the refrigerator is like a little cabinet been going on for, is this the only one? I mean, obviously it couldn't have been because they just found that body on the phone.
Next, they go over to the refrigerator
and next to the refrigerator is like a little cabinet.
On top of the cabinet is the microwave
and like in front of the microwave
is what seems to be like a wig.
They're thinking it's a wig
because it straight up looks like somebody
just took off their wig, set it down,
made something beep, beep, beep, beep,
bada boom, bada bing.
They got in, they got out, you know,
like it's what it looked like. It looked exactly like a wig. Well, it wasn't a wig. They examine it
a little bit closer. And, um, okay, so it was obviously woman's hair because it was, it was
lengthy and it was curled and it was styled highlights or whatever, but it was like obvious to them that it was a lady's head.
And what happened was it was taken off of somebody's head
and they don't know who.
It was scalped.
When they examined this closer,
they saw that somebody had like taken, you know,
like a knife, something, and cut out around the hair,
just the hair, so strange.
Scalped it off of the victim
and then they just like left it there
in front of the microwave.
Authorities go to open up the refrigerator.
In these cannibal stories in the past,
the refrigerator is never a good, like a good place.
Nothing good happens in there.
Inside of the refrigerator, they found mason jars.
Inside of these mason jars, there were human parts
which were in saline solution.
It was skin, meat, and fat,
and they had like stacked them in these jars,
like some, I don't know, like some,
some crap you see on Pinterest, you know,
when they do it by color, like strawberries, kiwi, pineapple,
like by color, it's all organized.
That was a terrible example.
It was very organized.
I feel so bad for these authorities in any of these cases,
because this probably causes some serious PTSD.
So then at this point, authorities are thinking,
is any of the food in this refrigerator actual food?
There would be the mason jars, there was like a bowl,
there was a random ass chicken in there.
Not a chicken still alive, like the chicken breast
and everything was just like thrown in there,
not on a plate or anything.
Bunch of animals.
And they were like, we don't even know
if any of this stuff is actual food
or if this is evidence, right?
Is this chicken or what?
Like, what is this?
So they did what they thought was best.
I'm so sorry for laughing.
I just got this mental picture.
They unplug the refrigerator
and they take it in as evidence, just the whole damn thing.
They were like, you know what?
We have to test everything.
And honestly, that's a great move.
They had found around 19 pieces.
You heard that right.
19 pieces of human skin,
which had allegedly been removed from their victims.
Authorities found seven packs of frozen body parts,
human remains pickled in a jar,
photographs upon photographs of people,
body parts of a lot.
So get this, get this.
They find a recipe book,
which was found in the kitchen underneath some clutter.
Bailey, a recipe book?
That's not that bad.
Nay nay.
This was not just a normal recipe book.
This recipe book was going into detail
about dinners to make with human remains.
Allegedly, this was in Natalia's handwriting
and it was her book.
Betty Crocker would never.
It was recipe upon recipe on what to do
with different parts of the meat and fat and skin
from people.
And the cherry on top, oh yeah, because that's not all.
Nope.
Authorities found a videotape.
It was a tutorial.
I kid you not, it was a tutorial.
Video lessons for cannibals.
And it was explaining how to dismember
and get certain meat and fat off of your victims.
Side note, I could not find like,
if the video was of Natalia or Dimitri,
or if the video was somebody else.
And that part had me messed up.
I don't know, they didn't say anything.
So at this point, authorities could like officially
make an arrest and put them in prison
and then question them a little bit deeper
as to what the F are you guys doing?
So they got Natalia first again.
Now this time they come at her with the actual photographs
that they had found inside the home.
So like Natalia couldn't deny it.
She has to have some answers for them.
They're looking for answers here.
So they're showing her a bunch of different photos
that they had brought in and they were mixed shots
of various body parts they took photos of.
And then also just the different people that they also mixed shots of various body parts they took photos of, and then also just the different people
that they also had photos of.
Because to authorities, it looked like photographs
of like you hanging out with your friends.
And then the next shot is like a body part.
Yeah, can you identify like what's, who's this?
So Natalia went through photos
and she was able to identify up to 30 different people
that she or they allegedly had killed and dismembered.
She tells authorities that her and Dimitri dismembered them,
ate them as well.
That's what Natalia tells authorities.
And then she tries to backtrack.
She's so annoying.
Now it's unclear as to why they took pictures of everything,
but when verified, authorities were able to see
that the names Natalia had given them of the victims,
they were actual people
who were considered missing at the time.
So things were kind of lining up.
This wasn't looking good.
Here's my question.
This is what I was thinking the whole time,
because these are photos that you had to go
and get developed.
These were not like Polaroids.
A lot of them were like a one hour photo type of deal. Well, maybe they know able to do that. I don't know if they were able to do that. I don't know if they were able to do that.
I don't know if they were able to do that.
I don't know if they were able to do that.
I don't know if they were able to do that.
I don't know if they were able to do that.
I don't know if they were able to do that.
I don't know if they were able to do that.
I don't know if they were able to do that.
I don't know if they were able to do that.
I don't know if they were able to do that.
I don't know if they were able to do that.
I don't know if they were able to do that.
I don't know if they were able to do that.
I don't know if they were able to do that.
I don't know if they were able to do that.
I don't know if they were able to do that.
I don't know if they were able to do that.
I don't know if they were able to do that.
I don't know if they were able to do that.
I don't know if they were able to do that. I don't know if they were able to do that. I don't know if they were able to do that. I don't know if they were able to do that. I don't know if they were able to do that. The photos, no? So Natalia also mentioned that the couple had a cellar nearby.
They had a cellar, another place where they kept
even more of the victim's body parts
and lots of their possessions.
And one thing that was common throughout these photos,
they always seem to sever the heads
and then scalp the hair from the skull.
Dimitri and Natalia seem to do it
with almost every victim with long, beautiful hair.
I just have so many questions.
I just have a lot of questions.
I've never, what was that about?
Then there's something to it.
I just don't know what.
Maybe they were selling the hair?
It doesn't matter.
So authorities asked Natalia,
can you tell us like why you guys did this?
Can you give us something to work with?
And she didn't wanna speak on any of that.
So then Dimitri was questioned, it was his turn now.
And he shared a lot more than Natalia did.
Dimitri said on September 8th, 2017,
Dimitri, who by the way was 35 at the time,
and Natalia was 42, they were on a dating site.
So I guess they would go on different
websites to meet new people. I'm not sure if it was like for sexual relations or just friends.
Well I mean duh Bailey they were doing it for victims you stupid ass. They were doing it to
find victims. They were on this dating site and they decided to meet up with this lady that they
had been chatting with. Dimitri and Natalia deciding to meet up with this woman. They go out for some drinks and after a couple of drinks,
they leave and they decide to go home.
Now, allegedly, Natalia was getting really jealous
of Dimitri and this new lady.
They were getting along really well, a little too well.
And Natalia ended up just getting really upset, very heated,
and then she just kind of went off on them and walked away.
This is when Dimitri, at some point, whipped out this knife
that he always carried on him in his pocket.
He whips out this knife and he starts stabbing this woman.
And then when Natalia saw him attacking her,
according to her, she watched, but she didn't participate.
Dimitri's version was that Natalia saw Dimitri attacking this woman.
After he was stabbing her,
that's when Natalia approached and joined in.
At this point, they ended up dismembering her
and that's when they took the selfies with the body parts.
The next day, Dimitri had dropped his phone,
which they found the construction workers on the road, remember?
When authorities asked Dimitri,
why did you cut off the scalp
before getting rid of your victim's remains?
And Dimitri said, quote,
"'I just did something stupid,' end quote."
He just did something stupid.
All right, yeah, no worries.
You're okay, you're free to go.
Don't worry about it.
He just did something stupid.
So both of them were sent to prison.
Now, Natalia tried to say that she was
mentally not well. She asked to speak with a psychiatrist alone and she explained that if they
looked at her record they would see that she went to a psychiatric hospital for help before. Which
remember in like the beginning of the story I said that she went to the psychiatric hospital
because she was drinking and mixing drugs.
She wanted help.
This is where that theory comes in
because she tells authorities,
"'Go ahead and look at my record.
"'You're going to see that I went to a psychiatric hospital
"'because I have a mental illness
"'and I shouldn't be sent to prison because of that.'"
She was really hoping that it would back up her story.
To be fair, I'm obviously not a doctor,
but wouldn't you kind of believe that these two are not? Well, I'm obviously not a doctor, but wouldn't you kind of like believe that,
you know, these two are not well?
I'd be like, yeah, I agree, you are not well.
A psychiatrist comes in to see her,
and after hours, it was like three to four hours
of speaking with a psychiatrist,
concluded that Natalia was 100% fine.
They didn't believe that she had any mental illness.
They believed that she could have suffered
from schizophrenia, but both of them were aware of what they had done
and both realized what they were doing in the moment
and would be held accountable to the law.
For this investigation,
they brought in the most experienced investigators
and a forensic investigator,
as well as a professor and a doctor of psychological sciences.
They brought in like the bigwigs for this case
because they wanted answers.
They wanted answers because something like this
had never happened before.
Based off that first image, that photograph from 1999,
this went on for almost 20 years.
It could have been even longer than that.
They don't know, they just have that one picture.
They didn't get caught within that whole 20 years.
So authorities are like, we need to figure out
how can we prevent this from happening again in the future?
How come they didn't get caught?
Like where, why, what?
They just wanted answers.
So in February of 2019,
Natalia was found guilty of incitement to murder.
She was sentenced to 10 years in a penal colony.
They looked it up.
Penal colony or exile colony is a settlement used to separate them, the prisoners, from
the general population by placing them in a remote location, often an island or distant
colonial territory, which is like, oh, you know what?
Like that doesn't sound bad.
You get like your own island.
Of course not, you fool.
Now there have been many cases of abuse reported
in these situations.
A lot of the inmates have alleged
that they were treated as slaves
and they were put to work to benefit the chief there.
Like a lot of these places make garments.
I literally just read an article about a man
who was in the same situation but in China
and they had him making Christmas cards. These companies will outsource not knowing that you
know these people in these really bad prisons are making these things. Oh it's a whole mess. It's a
whole mess. Yeah so these prisoners are making the money. Person in charge, they just pocketed all of the money.
Many people complained about it,
but then they would just like go missing.
It was one of those.
So with that being said, that's where Natalia was headed.
Good luck.
But guess what?
She was only going there for 10 years.
They sentenced her to 10 years,
and then she would have to serve 1.2 years in prison.
On June 28th, 2019, Dimitri was sentenced to 12 years
and two months in a maximum security prison.
Dimitri also has supervision
and he is the one who will be receiving treatment
by a psychiatrist.
Now, somebody that they don't know,
somebody leaked the images from Dimitri's phone
to the media and this caused a lot of issues
and a lot of upset.
For starters, the media out there,
they didn't want this information
to be out there to the public,
but because it was released to the media,
I mean, people were just losing their shit over this story.
There were so many theories coming out, so many rumors,
people were on it and people were talking.
People were saying that they believed
that this was like a larger family of cannibals
or like a tight knit group of people
who considered themselves like family of cannibals
that operated within the city.
These people believed there was no way,
there's no possible way that the two of them
could murder and dismember
up to 30 people and not get caught.
There's no way, there has to be more people involved.
They believe that like Natalia and Dimitri,
they were like the sacrificial lamb.
You know, they would get the blame for all the murders
and go to prison while this group of people
would remain safe.
You know, like, yeah, the sacrifice.
Take one for the team.
Kind of like Harvey Weinstein.
Like he was not the only one doing what he was doing,
but like he was the bait.
He was the one that everyone blamed
and all the fingers pointed to him.
Don't get me wrong, he was a piece of shit,
a toad, trash.
He 100% did some nasty shit,
but that's all going on out here.
It wasn't just him, but he was the one,
like the sacrifice, like you're taking one for the team
and don't ride us out.
So they get in trouble, they go to prison
and everyone else is like, yay, the bad guy is locked up.
When in reality, there's plenty more responsible. Why don't they speak, you ask? You're like, Bailey, the bad guy is locked up, when in reality there's plenty more responsible.
Why don't they speak, you ask?
You're like, Bailey, what's the benefit of this?
Why would they keep quiet?
Why won't they just rat everybody else?
Because if you rat people out,
especially this group that you're supposed to be protecting,
then you get offed, like that Jeffrey Epstein guy.
A lot of people believe that Dimitri and Natalia
were protecting something much bigger.
Investigators allegedly,
they never found a full body in their search.
It was always bits and pieces that were recovered.
They were able to get DNA matches from some of the victims.
So the total amount was unclear based off of what I found.
Natalia said 30, but they couldn't confirm that
unless they were able to locate all of the victims
and confirm that.
Dimitri only confessed to killing two people
and they couldn't even locate the first victim from 2012.
So riddle me this, did Natalia's first husband
really just die because I couldn't find out
what he died of, you know what I'm saying.
So that was the story about Natalia and Dimitri. They were given the name by the media the cannibal
family. I hope you found today's story interesting. I would love to hear your thoughts down below. I
have lots of questions for you. Do you think Natalia was the one in charge and she manipulated
Dimitri into doing this?
Do you think her son knew and then he just bolted out of there and was like,
I don't want anything to do with you.
Thank you so much for hanging out with me today.
I hope you have a wonderful day today.
You make good choices.
Please be safe out there.
Please, please, please be safe out there.
Make good choices.
Love and appreciate you guys so much.
And I'll be seeing you guys later.
Bye.
