According to a January 3, 2025, report by Click2Houston, Corey Pritchett Jr. has recently been charged with kidnapping two women, threatening them, and fleeing the country.

One of the alleged victims claimed she met Pritchett Jr. on November 22, 2024, and exchanged numbers with the YouTuber. The next day, she took her friend to meet him for a workout session. It was also followed by bowling and an ATV outing. As per the alleged victim, Pritchett Jr. and his friends seemingly looked tense because of problems with another group in the alley.

Thereafter, the women reportedly asked Corey Pritchett Jr. and his men to leave. After their departure, the two called the YouTuber because they had left their bags and belongings in the car. As per records, Pritchett Jr. asked them to meet him at the HEB parking lot. Once they met, the 25-year-old offered to drop them home and the women agreed.

During the drive, Pritchett Jr. started behaving frantically and diverted from the intended route. Driving westbound on 1-10 at speeds exceeding 100 mph, he made many phone calls and claimed someone was after them. The 25-year-old went on to pull out a golden handgun and fired several shots out the car window.

After making a phone call with another woman, Corey reportedly pointed the gun at the two alleged victims and took their phones away. He stopped the car on the shoulder of Interstate 10 and asked the two women to get out of the car. Leaving them stranded in the middle of the night without their cellphones, he drove off.

The two women reportedly walked for over an hour along the side of the highway before they could flag down a driver and call 911. They were finally helped by Waller County detectives.

As per Click2Houston, investigators used GPS data from a Life 360 app installed in the cellphone of one of the victims. The data supported their story and provided timestamps of the car's route.

Meanwhile, Corey Pritchett Jr. was identified by his driver's license and social media. Investigators also discovered that the YouTuber planned on leaving the country to start a new life in Dubai. The FBI confirmed that the 25-year-old had bought a one-way ticket to Qatar on December 9, 2024.


As of writing, the FBI is trying to bring Corey Pritchett Jr. to the United States to face his charges. The report also states that the feds have implored anyone with helpful information about his whereabouts to come forward and help them.
