As more and more details come to light about the American missionary who was killed when
he went to north sentinel island, we begin to see a bigger picture, and a much darker
truth about what happened to John Allen Chau. Police are investigating the circumstances
around Chau’s death, and they have discovered that he did not act alone, in fact, john allen
chau was trained by an organization who sent him on the suicide mission to north sentinel.
Hello and welcome back to inform overload, I’m charlotte dobre. Hit that subscribe

I’m going to give you an update on one of the biggest, most controversial stories of
the year. If you haven’t seen our videos on john allen chau, check out the link on
the screen right now. But here’s a quick recap. 26 year old John Allen Chau was killed
last month on November 16th by an arrow fired by a member of the isolated tribe on north
sentinel island in the bay of bengal. The last pre-neolithic tribe in the world who
essentially still live like they are in the stone age. The Indian government has made
it illegal to go within 3 nautical miles of north sentinel. This is for a variety of reasons.
The tribe is extremely vulnerable to disease, and they are also very hostile toward outsiders,
and will kill anyone who sets foot on their island. just a couple of months before Chau’s
death, the indian government rolled back restrictions on travel to the island, and you could legally
go there if you got a permit. John Allen Chau did not have a permit, but since this incident,
people think that india should not have rolled back restrictions on travel to north sentinel.
Since the police have begun their investigation, into john’s death There have been a total
of 7 arrests made by local authorities, 6 of which were fishermen who were paid by john
allen chau to help him get to the island. But Chau didn’t only seek the help of fisherman,
it seems that there were quite a few other people involved in his untimely death, or
at least, people who could have stopped it from happening.
According to indian investigators, at least two American missionaries met with john allen
chau before he went to north sentinel and encouraged him to go to north sentinel. These
other missionaries, a man and a woman, made calls to john allen chau’s phone from local
indian numbers. It’s a wonder why they didn’t try to convince john not to go on this mission.
Maybe if they couldn’t stop john from going, they could have told the police about his
mission and the police could have gotten involved. Sure he might have gotten arrested and deported
but he would still be alive. At this time, these two people have left the
country. Authorities know that they were involved in evangelical activities. The indian authorities
didn’t name the organization they were associated with, but its well known now that john allen
chau was part of a Christian organization called all nations that’s based in Kansas
city. All nations has 200 missionaries that operate in 40 countries. And now its being
reported that all nations organized a missionary boot camp that chau participated him, that
was intentded to prepare him for his mission to north sentinel island. The boot camp was
intensive and 3 weeks long, where they dropped off on a dirt road in a remote area of Kansas.
He walked to a mock village in the woods where he found other missionaries in disguise who
pretended not to understand what he was saying. Some of the other missionaries came at him
with fake spears. The boot camp involved years and years of linguistics training and emergency
medical technician training. According to the leader of all nations, Mary
Ho, she never said she regrets sending him on the mission, and she also didn’t say
that she would have tried to prevent it. She did say that that he was emotionally, culturally,
physically and intellectually very well prepared. She does not blame all nations for john’s
death, and said that chau made up his mind to go to the island before he became a part
of all nations. Since johns death, the group has gathered to pray and grieve over johns
death. According to friends, John Allen Chau has
been obsessed with north sentinel island since he was a teenager in high school. He had a
fascination with stories like robinson crusoe, but by the time chau had reached adulthood
He had essentially lost his mind, and had spent years planning the mission to north
sentinel for the purpose of converting the tribe to Christianity. A week before he died,
in a letter to his family, he wrote, you guys might think I am crazy in all this but I think
its worth it to declare jesus to these people. What do you think guys, should all nations
and the two missionary’s he spoke to be held responsible for his death? Or do you
think that john only has himself to blame. Let me know in those comments. For now im
going to respond to some comments from our last video about john allen chau.
All nations is trying to urge the indian authorities to abandon the efforts to retrieve john’s
body, which is still buried on the island. I asked you guys if you think that his body
should be retrieved and these were some of your responses.
Harpreet Sing – now more people are coming to india and asking for this island. I hope
not. Did they learn nothing D S – the guy said in his journal to not
retrieve his body. Leave him there. I agree. Melanie iniguez – but wouldn’t the dead
body spread illnesses to them? I mean, yeah you have a point. As long as its buried somewhere
maybe not? Good question. If anyone has an answer to that let me know in the comments.
