Can we also take a moment to appreciate what a MASSIVE conflict of interest it is to have a police officer investigating the murder of a friend? And how irresponsible it is to assign such a case to a close friend of the victim?

He's a good man. I moved to Boro in spring 99 gor MTSU and learned of the case.

and how terrible the Policing prior to him was.

Yes he was a suspect but he did the right thing by giving his own dna to remove himself as a suspect.

@@lilymarinovic1644 I would normally agree, but when the case is at a point where no one else really cares anymore, you're only grateful that there is someone who's willing to put the work in. No matter their motivations. Is it a conflict of interest that could potentially complicate a trial? Sure. Would that case have gotten solved any other way? I cannot say.

AMEN 💙🙏💙

It's maddening to know that Colin Pitchfork is ready to be released AGAIN!!! .... DISGUSTING UK JUSTICE!

Absolutely thank you

@@elaspen672 I know it is frightening to see rapists and murders free to the general public. I don't think rapists and pedos will ever change. In Japan the law is more lenient towards rapists and stalkers; many people get early release.

...but criminal core didn't solve any of these. Why thank them?

True, it's so sad to see how evil seemingly normal people can be. I just don't understand why muderers do this to the innocent people.

@@lawl_4lliethey’re called psychopaths, they are not human

@@Ramsy477, Although I agree that these murderers should not be considered human, understand that psychopathy is a mental illness that people are born with and it does not mean that they will be criminals.

@@lawl_4llie Not all humans value life same way you do. Even seemingly mentally healthy people defend heinous crimes as long as it aligns with their political ideology (for instance, think or Russia's praisers who defend atrocities committed by russians in Ukraine). When seemingly mentally normal people in all seriousness defend acts of evil, it's not surprising that truly evil ''humans'' are capable of much much worse.

Dear GOD FOR LOVE OF YOU MAY ALL THESE TRAGIC DEATHS BE SURROUNDED BY YOUR LOVE AND BE WITH YOU IN HEAVEN🙏❤️🙏❤️

Raymond McCarty has apparently passed away suddenly whilst he was held in jail back in February 2018, aged 52.

I think that's why the narrator ended it by saying that, "Unfortunately it seems she had been surround by terrible people who let her down." SMH. I can't understand how her family could have been okay with it in any way, shape, or form. And to allow him BACK into their lives after he served his sentence? Truly terrible and sad.

Poor girl. So Messed Up!!!

@@tempest2fuu It's not just sad, it's sick. Any other parent would have torn him to pieces.

@@KlassyKat45 Nah most parents wouldn't, familial bond is often stronger than anything else, even when that bond involves awful crimes.

Amen. To be a woman in this world is truly scary😢

If you focus on the negative, you'll never see the good around you

Yes, I know what you mean. That’s why earth is only a steppingstone to get us into the next and final phase of eternity, which is heaven or hell. I’ve learned to minimize my contact with people I just take care of myself, my wife, kids and grandkids, and we all just keep going to church living for Jesus so we can leave this sick world one of these days.

@@TheXavierClark1 I can be positive all I want, but there is always danger lurking, from MEN. I don't fear women whatsoever.

​@banyana6515
You really believe you cannot be in danger from a female?

Yea the criminal justice system is literally broken. They are so worried about revenue raising and filling the prisons with petty criminals/addicts that the real monsters often fall through the cracks. In my State its not uncommon for someone to get more time for their 3rd DUI than a sex crime. No way molesters should be getting 2-5s along with alcoholics.

And her disgusting sister to stay with him after assaulting her as a child smh so sad

@@deeee4663 I hope her sister can’t sleep at night

I had to go back a few times to make sure I heard that part correctly! I couldn't believe it!

Unfortunately, some women prioritize men over children they should be protecting. My best friend growing up was the youngest of three girls. She was attacked her stepfather when we were thirteen years old. Luckily, she managed to get away before he could rape her.
It came out later that he'd begun grooming her eldest sister almost immediately after marrying their mother, eventually sexually abusing her for years until she left home contentiously at age sixteen to escape him. The middle daughter would never answer questions about whether he'd abused her, which to me was always answer enough on its own.
Their mother stayed with him, even after DCS mandated that he not be allowed to live in the same house as either of the still underage girls. Years later, SHE BROUGHT HIM AS HER PLUS ONE TO MY BEST FRIEND'S WEDDING.
My mother's childhood best friend was also abused by not one, but TWO stepfathers. Her mother did not leave either of them upon finding out, but instead blamed her own daughter for the abuse.

Flawed?......a total joke if you ask me. What the hell goes through the minds of those who make these decisions is beyond me it really is.

Yes, and this June, the board determined that he could be released again. However, his release has been put on hold pending review. His sentence was reduced from the original sentence for "good behavior" . That seems ridiculous since there are no young girls in prison to tempt him into "bad behavior". Isn't that obvious?

Yes and they have the nerve to call us barbaric when they let child killers roam with new identities! DISGUSTING!!! Nasty place actually thinks ppl want to live there too. Only criminals would

I would hope "good behavior" means more than being polite and not comitting crimes in prison.@@terrimetcalf3378

The Australian justice system isn't any better, life should be life. The yanks do that better than us. We had a serial killer from Melbourne seriously considered for parole not long ago, he killed 4 or 5 women as a very young adult, he's in his 40s now, still capable of heinous things. If there's any chance they could commit crimes again they shouldn't be let out, killing someone in cold blood should stop you from living in society.

I loved this case. What a friend to have. He probably had feelings for her romantically and never got a chance to be with her due to being slain by the douche.

@@RoseGold1224 TO* have

Nope, they still don't think they will get caught, and most have no conscience

lol Evidently not. How would that even be a 'wondering' moment? Do you not see, read about, or hear that THERE ARE 10s of THOUSANDS of murders each year? Also, do you realize the incompetence of law enforcement? No one is terrified. NO ONE.

It depends. A lot of cases don't even have DNA that was collected or preserved well enough for that

@@barbarajohnson3876I don’t think it’s to suggest they have a conscience and feel guilt, but more that they’re just afraid to get caught and punished. But I agree with the sentiment of them unfortunately probably not getting caught.

I'd imagine 'law enforcement' are more scared that so many of the cases they pinned on innocent people will be discovered.

He did a great Job on that. That said, I'm actually shocked they'd let him investigate with his connection to the victim.

Yea its crazy that the dudes wife died and he was the first suspect because of paint and oil stains. Before that technology, he probably would have been thrown in jail and the case closed

I agree it reminds me of the movie with Tom Hanks, the green mile. The angel that came down said clear as day when he touched the perpetrator that raped and killed the two young girls. “ you used their love to kill them.” Shortly after a dark curse is unleashed and a random guard absorbs it immediately murdering the criminal who used the two little girls love against each other to then orchestrate their death. It doesn’t get any lower than that, word to the wise.

Very sad😢. Never date or marry a drug addict. Getting married to drug addicts and expecting a happy ending is like a fairytale for both sisters.

Like others have said, only if the investigators preserved evidence at all and properly, some cases were solved only due to that one detective that wouldn't let the evidence room throw away evidence. Comes to mind the cars where the guy put women in a refrigerator and then years later after he the detective fought tooth and nail to keep that fridge ,and they finally were able to use the slightest amount of DNA, blood .Anyway they finally caught the guy. I can't remember the other details or majority of them...

I sometimes wonder about that too. Through news outlets, many of them must know that DNA has been found so I wonder what goes through their minds when new technology arrives. They're probably thinking it's just a matter of time before they're ran through the database and just about the time their paranoia subsides they get arrested.

Ok. It's now 2024. This video is from the 1980's. Have things changed That much since then ??? These things Still happen. 🙄

AMEN❤❤❤❤

[nods] always thought that was a questionable idea. when any will tell you that time is of the essence, idiots going, "nah, you can't file a missing persons report on your kid of 16 for 24 hours"... Seriously?? when i see that trope used on tv or movies, i always want to yell at the person saying it or smack them upside the head. how many people have to be hurt or Worse because of that bull before somebody finally says it's enough.

I believe that a 24 hour wait period was common for many states back in the 70s, 80s, 90s. Running away was the first and common thought. So while, thankfully, 24 hours is no longer the rule, sadly it was for many.

@@kimquinn7728 common maybe, but not the law. I believe it arose from lazy cops not wanting to look for people that are often not really missing but haven't communicated that they're going anywhere, like run aways. The cops basically roll everyone including the truly abducted ones up in the same rug to avoid headache paperwork or to not waste their time and energy.

I'm also amazed the narrator read the whole script without breaking tone or making a mistake. Astonishing..... it's almost like it was read by a machine. Uncanny

A more productive path than "making a scene" is to ask to speak to a detective. Larger departments sometimes have a detective who works primarily with missing person reports.

Absolutely! What an amazing contribution he's given to society!

Mmmm m

I agree!!!

I'd imagine that 80% of all Alibis come from relatives, friends and co-workers. At some point you will have to trust someone or investigators will just run in circles around too many possible suspects.

Let me ask you this....what do you think would happen to you if for 20 years the police claimed a woman had been r*p*d and murdered and then it is discovered that your DNA is inside her? Do you think you are coming in and saying "oh that...."? No way, you will be booked for murder. The fact that the police simply tossed out that evidence and stopped looking for the man who had left his DNA inside the dead victim is beyond me. When have you ever heard of the police doing that? Absolutely never. Gilley claimed at trial that yes, his DNA would be on the blue jeans. He stated they use to pull up to some lovers lane and have s*x in the vehicle and then clean up with a pair of old blue jeans in the back seat. True? IDK. But that...or DNA inside her? I would surely keep looking for the DNA inside here. What if is determined that the holder of the DNA had been arrested and released for a prior r*pe and did not know the victim. Then would that change your outlook? Police need to find who;s DNA was inside Laura...not just throw it out. And the knocked out teeth...determined 100% false at the trial with simple dental records. Gilley seen leaving the scene of the crime? Determined 100% false at trial....he had sold that vehicle two weeks prior. Just something to think about.

Wow that is super creepy coincidence. 😳

So much violence against women. It's horrific.

what about casual/ugly looking girls? why can’t say no innocent lives shouldn’t have taken?

@@TheT3MK4 they're all beautiful

I'm very sorry for everything you went through. ❤🤗😢

Very well said ... agree a 100%!

I get the feeling that the initial thought of 'it's a mannequin' is because people don't want it to be a body and try to come up with something else that it could be. Mannequins are the same general size and shape as a human body, after all.

STRAIGHT UP ❤❤❤❤😊

​@Teverell i have have seen a actual mannequin off the road a little bit in the woods once i had the reverse process of thinking it was a body then realizing it was a mannequin

I understand that position, however, do you have any idea how many people get reported missing each year and just come back the next few days, having been on a bender, having had to travel with short notice, just forgetting to inform someone, just wanting to get away for a few days...?
The problem is that the amount of work and money it would cost, isn't manageable and that for like one case out of a few hundred. You can't pin a number on someone's life, but you also can't give infinite money to the coppers.

You need to become a cop and serve others.

There is no time limit you have to wait to call in someone missing. Maybe there was a time police departments could make it part of their operations but I know other murders around the same time or earlier police didn’t wait. Unfortunately movies, TV, books, or just believe if told by friend/family. I wish every true crime show or podcast put that info up at the beginning of each episode about true crime. Most ppl do know the first 24-48 hours are crucial.Because people usually call everyone the missing person knows looking for them first. It’s when memories are most reliable for one, or may still find the person alive.
As far as funding, police have so much they’re looking for new things to buy. Small cities of 200 thousand people, some of their towns have tanks. It’s all about the toys. Police just used to have one belt with a few pockets. Now their vests have tons of stuff in them. Small town police cars can afford custom The Punisher logos painted on their cars. The money is there, it’s just what they choose to spend it on unfortunately. And that comes from multiple police officers and administration personally. And then I hear budget numbers. I think you can get most of that online. It’s too bad dispersing money to more or new staff or just train some cops to deal with certain situations (mental crisis, drugged out, domestic violence etc)has the worst slogan. Sounds like Ppl want money to be cut from the cops but really it’s updating departments to a very different world than just say, 30 years ago. It’s not defunding It’s updating.

@@dieyngMost police departments become to know those same people over time. If someone is chronically going missing and especially the same pattern (like after a family fight) and maybe even flees to the same area. But I think if a person needs medication and doesn’t have it, or some other emergency they won’t wait then.

@@phoenixgirl70 Spend it on more ammunition and overtime pay. Phoenix has had a whole string (and increase) in evil crimes and gruesome homicides in the past 30 years.

I hope he was charged with obstruction of justice or something. He aided and abetted a murderer by lying like that.

Too many 😢

actually, it was a case I listen to recently about this mentally retarded man and he was sentenced to death for a crime he did not commit, and he eventually died. Before finding out he was innocent, and the police force was so crooked by forcing him to admit to something when he could only understand yes or no questions. Eventually they passed a bill or a law in his name but guess what 50 years or more later that’s how long it took for the government to admit they screwed up and publicly announced his innocence, and that he never took part in the crime now imagine how many mentally retarded innocent people go to jail for the rest of their lives and get sentenced to death and die and are never exonerated for the crimes and the government covers it up.😢

It's the main reason I am against the death sentence, too many cases presented as "easy, we even got the confession", that turned out to be lazy or crooked cops pinning everything on the first person they could construct a case against.
Recently even read about a guy who was innocent in prison, got out and then killed by a cop during a traffic stop, while he was still suing over his wrongful imprisonment.
And of course that cop had a history of unjust and violent traffic stops....@@RoseGold1224

Breach of license condition is that the same as parole violation?

colin came from the same village as me ( i wasnt born then) when he got released the first time. pretty much the whole village signed the petition to keep him in.

⁠yes, when you commit murder you are usually give a life sentence but most don’t serve life they are released on licence. If you breech this you can go back to prison for any offence. The licence is usually for the rest of your life.

​@@samdoors5132If paroled early (halfway or two-thirds through a sentence), offenders are on licence until the sentence ends. If they reoffend during the licence period they are recalled to prison to serve the rest of the original sentence in addition to that for the new offence.
Source: I worked in criminal defence for 11 years.

Colin has now been paroled

Gilley wasn't a serial killer. He was a young man with a nasty temper and was insanely jealous.

I mean if it's America I can understand, because everybody got a gun there, I maybe would have looked through the window if I saw something and would have called the cops

The murderer had a gun. It probably saved his life…he did call, which few do.

Agreed

Knowing the scream was someone getting abducted and murdered would assure me I made the smart choice NOT to go outside. I ain’t no cop, I have no weapons, and I sure af could have done nothing but watch. He called the cops, wtf else you want him to do?

@@user-br549 Not many are arrested for crimes they didn’t commit, even back then. Evidence of being wrongfully incarcerated will ensure a lawyer will sue the police dept for millions.

Yep and she was right because I say the same thing I know the kind of people that roam the streets at night also, that’s why I always tell my daughter and granddaughters do what you need to do during the daytime because once it starts getting dark outside, the freaks come out

@@mickeybell8933 True. Monsters work all shifts.

@@mickeybell8933 Yup!

I'm a night owl by nature, as are my parents. However, I've started going to bed and waking earlier recently and I feel better for it. I like the quietness of night though, that won't change.

Yeah but then you're gonna have a lot of resources looking for that person and if they're alive and just at work at doing something normal you're basically like the boy who cried wolf. Somethings are done to prevent backlash and mistakes. I agree though someone not answering phone calls or even just texting a quick "hey I'm okay" for several hours should get some form of authorized wellness check.

Imo, the whole 24 hours time frame is way too long and just jeopardizes missing people, but I know way too many people argue against doing away with that time frame. It should really be decided on a case-by-case basis.
I feel like a good middle ground would be checking the victim’s text history with a close loved one and their employment/school attendance. If the victim is known to text and update super often and are super punctual to their work/school, then the 24 hours should be ignored or lessened. If the victim is known to go no contact or misses work/school often, then the 24 hour period could be honored. And of course, if the missing person is a minor, the time frame should just be ignored regardless. Way too many missing children and teens are written off as runaways which has caused way too many tragedies.

It is no longer required to wait 24 hours before reporting someone missing, partly because of how important they are to locating an actual missing person.

Exactly if anything bads going to happen to you it's going to be in the first 24 hours. They're going to do what they want and get rid of the evidence (you) so this 24hr things total BS and needs to be left behind in the dark ages where it belongs.

@@ElleriaZer no you will still wait

yeah, I thought about that too. there were some surprises, though. like number 7, as well as some others

Ha, thank you! FWIW, a case that DOES have an insane twist, IMO, is the Sherri Rasmussen case.

Whole thing is just insane.

You nailed it on the father and son shooting up their rental! I was like, "hold up, WHAT?" And the narration just continued on with no mention of it again, or even it being quite weird.

These women were killed by humans, not "the devil."

The devil isn't real. Human evil is.

David "Kyle" Gilley.
Not that I know of. He was briefly my boss where I worked right after this crime.

There is no wait period before reporting and hasn’t been for some time now

I remember dna evidence rolling out. And yes, everyone expected the tech would get better. It's amazing now they can extract DNA from ancient teeth and the disease that killed them.

Wish there was a sentence where people got something worse than the death penalty aswell. If you assault someone and kill them, the person should probably get assaulted to death as their ”death penalty”. In the future vr might be able to deliver this kind of experience.

Nope it is super common not weird

@@prax4173 stooping to that level ,would make us just as sick as the perpetrator’s though. The cases are so horrible and make you think “what kind of person would do something like that?”…we empathize, then to carry out that same depravity on another person is the same thing.

Tbh the whole Transgender women claiming to be women dont get it and the points you made are many of the reasons why as a female, a biological female it makes me irrate that such cannot claim to be my gender.

​@@angietyndall7337terfs are disgusting

Rayna was abducted about 20 minutes from where I was living. Sad thing is, she had a really hard life due to the fact that she was repeatedly assaulted by her sister’s husband and her parents still allowed him in their family. I thought for sure it was him.

Timeline was weird to me also. Wouldn't boyfriend Matt and ex Jason have been at the vet clinic at the same time when she exited the clinic? I guess Matt was late ?

Just a few minutes difference

I also thought that part was weird, and her parents should never be asked if someone can be trusted, they allowed their daughter's rapist to till be close to her, and vowed for Matt and Jason's innocence, 🙄🙄. I still find Matt a little suspicious.

Certainly seems the weakest of these cases in terms of evidence against the suspect, at least in how it's presented here.
It's basically just on the testimony of two witnessed who both have an interest in lying to save their own asses.
According to a 2016 article in the South Bend tribune the guy who was 14 at the time wanted to use his testimony to get his own murder sentence modified.
And Freeman of course, one could say, was given immunity if he said what prosecuters wanted to hear.
Now, that doesn't mean they lied, court of appeals said their testimonies support each other too well and I don't know what other evidence was presented. Still feels less certain.
Sisters husband apparently committed suicide in jail, can't find why he was arrested though.
