In this chilling true crime episode, we explore the disturbing case of Randy Stair, a YouTuber and animator whose descent into a dark fantasy world culminated in a deadly mass shooting. Before the tragedy, Stair ran a YouTube channel under the alias Andrew Blaze, where he posted sketches, animations, and personal videos that gradually revealed a troubling inner life filled with obsession, isolation, and violent fantasies.

Stair became fixated on a fictional character from the animated series Danny Phantom, believing that killing would allow him to “join” this character in an imagined afterlife. His digital footprint — including journals, uploaded “suicide tapes,” and social media posts — showed a fascination with past mass shooters and a growing detachment from reality.
