I knew this girl. Those ppl were some of the most disgusting vile "humans" alive. Thank you so much for covering this. Finally someone is getting the word out!! This still breaks my heart to this day..
He burst into laughter after hearing what he did to a young woman who hadn’t done anything to him? Who probably hadn’t ever said or even thought a mean thing about him? He’s a monster through and through.
This story was local to my hometown and never gets easier to listen to. Most people would never think of treating an animal in the same ways Jennifer was tortured. How someone could prey upon her kindness, innocence, and vulnerability is disgusting. One can only hope they are treated in the same ways they treated her. Rest in peace, sweet girl.
Jennifer's origin story is identical to my biological mom's. My mom got taken advantage of too. She never mentally matured either. I deeply hurt for how Jennifer met her end. My mom lives in an adult care home. Shes faced horrors in her life that have kind of left her as a shell of herself. Like that innocent childlike spark, her loved ones described her as having years back was completely gone.
Your words gave me an instant sadness for your mother and your family. It angers me to no end how mean people can be. God forgives us all but I have no sympathy for bad ass kids, evilness, racists or people that are homophobic. Thank goodness your mother has people that love her. 🙏🏾
We humans are our worst enemy finding worse ways treat each other truly makes me sad my mom went through something similar to your mom, my mom was such a gentle soul
This case is one of many that's stuck with me for many years. She died in the worst way I can imagine; alone, terrified, confused and in horrific pain. Jennifer deserved so, so much better, from her high school experiences to her heartbreaking death. I wish her and her family nothing but love and peacefulness. Fly high miss Daugherty, the world is less without you.
I've worked with developmentally delayed and disabled people for my entire adult life. I'm not virtue signaling, it's just what I do for a living and one of the greatest joys of my life (2nd only to fatherhood). Poor Jennifer didn't choose to be born disabled, and most certainly didn't deserve to be bullied, so I can only imagine how confusing, painful, and terrifying her final hours must have been. The sense of betrayal she must have felt to be so horribly abused by people she considered her friends is utterly heartbreaking. I know the name of this channel is This is Monsters, and all of the subjects of these videos are monsters disguised as humans, but this particular case really hits close to home.
Almost all of these gang torture murder victims seem to be females. Junko Furuta, Hello Kitty murder, that 'witch' burning in Papua New Guinea, public stoning of a woman in Afghanistan. People seem to have less empathy for females. Some of these crimes even have female perpetrators. I wonder if the men would sympathise if it was male victims pleading for their lives.
This was heartbreaking. I've been bullied like crazy in high school,and I know how people can edge each other on to make it worse, and worse, and worse, some sort of mob mentality. That poor girl.
Yup, it's called the Bandwagon Effect, where ppl escalate their behavior and do things with others that they wouldn't do by themselves. That's why we have to have our own Critical Thinking skills and not get pulled into behaviors that we would not otherwise indulge in.
I just don't get it. I'll freely admit that I'm probably much older than you all and I come from a different generation. (I'm 53 and Gen X.😁) What ever happened to sticking up for people? I would vehemently stand up for anyone being picked on as a kid. Oh sure, the bullies tried to bully me but I basically ignored them...or if it turned physical, I fought them. I wouldn't say I won. Nobody really wins a physical fight but they never messed with me again. Do kids not stand up for other kids getting bullied anymore? I still refuse to stand by and see anyone being picked on or taken advantage of. Why do people need to be such assholes...or worse?!
I was today years old when I learned you can use “Edge on” as well as “Egg on”. It makes so much more sense. Horrific time to say thank you. But thanks.
@@deniece0821 I was the same way. Most of the bullies I didn't like anyways, and as soon as i come between them and their victims, they will show themselves as cowards. Yeah I got suspended a few times but made some great friends in the process.
I just had this case pop into my head. I used to walk past that apartment every day as I walked to the bank for my boss. When I heard where this happened I was sick to my stomach....that I walked past there while this poor girl was being held captive, not knowing something so horrific was going on. I will never forget Jennifer. God rest her soul. I hope she is complete peace with no memory of the horror she had in her final days.
I live here. It was horrific to learn we have such monsters among us. Believe me, if we can have them even here, you’ve got them living among your neighborhoods, too. Rest well, Jennifer 💕
This was extremely difficult to hear. I can't even let my mind absorb the brutality on ANYONE, much less someone so trusting. She must have been so confused and scared. I can't even...😣
Nothing worse than seeing people who have been victimised when they were vulnerable, victimising people more vulnerable than them. Rest In Peace Beautiful Jennifer. ❤️
You're so right on that. It's truly disgusting. I know they say hurt people hurt other people but I will never understand. How can you know how it feels to go through horrible things & yet do that to other people.
This happened ten minutes away from me and I knew Jenn, this was just the most disgusting thing I've ever heard. . Jenn was so sweet and giving and trusted so easily... I hope they all get what they deserve!!!
What makes me even sicker is the fact that if her "friends" were to have apologized for everything they did to her......... This beautiful soul probably would have forgiven them all. Not sure if I'm more angry or sad.
I lived in the area when this happened and know of these people.. they'd literally just stand at the corner store begging for change or $1 for a beer and bumming cigarettes (mainly the dudes) and would get so pissed if you turned one of them down. Stealing from the same store even though the owner could clearly see them... They were so awful outwardly R.I.P Jennifer
South Greensburg or closer to Hempfield or Harrison City? I'm from Jeannette and obviously I've been through Greensburg many, MANY times and I've never noticed any of these people except maybe seeing that black dude causing a scene at that Greensburg video store n 2009....what was that videos store name again?
@@KadyFillinger South, I wanna say on Edgewater or Edgewood avenue (its a dead end block) it's been so long and I be chiefing💨💨💨 so I don't remember exactly what block lol... I don't remember there being a video store there.. I do remember the Asian lady (Rose) that sold bootleg movies with the shopping cart up and down Pennsylvania Ave though
Great job covering such a traumatizing case! Emma Kenney also covered it and did a fantastic job, as well. I was living in Gbg at the time, and this still stands at the top of one of the worst crimes to have occurred in the area.
As a parent of an adult child that has some similar disabilities, I'm sitting here shaking my head. It was always my greatest fear that someone some day would take advantage of his innocence. I'm glad that I played the role of overprotective mom and got to know EVERY person he came in contact with. Even though we was an adult I had forbid him from seeing certain people that weren't a good element. It kept him safe, even if he thought I was going overboard.
Exactly! It sounds like her parents never even met her “friends” or personally vetted them in any way before jumping at the idea of sending her out of town for the night- as a trial run for her eventually living out of town and spending all her time with them.
God bless you. I think it is a bit of a misunderstanding people have that just because a person with a mental handicap has a guesstimate age capability will sort of grow out of it like a milestone to be conquered. But it means much more than that. Well done you are a truly dutiful parent.
Ugh! I'm so sorry. I'm recovering from it myself. I hate it! This is my 2nd confirmed case, however, I'm pretty sure I've had it 3 times. It's been at least a year though, I wasn't expecting this, at all! Sending you well wishes!
Bless your heart My best friend went to visit her uncle in a nursing home. They didn't warn her her uncle nor anyone else Now she the uncle and her husband have covid and I was all around them.. hopefully I'm ok.ill pray over u
I watch so many crime videos but never expect for my home to be the subject of them. Jennifer deserves to be remembered, especially among the locals who turned their eyes to the decades of bullying she endured. I'm sorry our town did this to you, Jennifer
Thanks Jiles! Happy New Year 🎉❤ Ohhhhhh… I just started watching… I remember this story. I can’t watch this one, it just breaks my heart. It’s especially cruel and she was so innocent in her mind. I can’t do it again. But always here to support the channel.
my heart physically ached so bad hearing this case i actually thought i was about to have an attack... i just wish i could hug her very warmly and tell her everything is fine
Your content has such a nice flow and I naturally want to hear more and more. And more importantly it comes through how deeply you engage with the victims and the respectful way you treat each one. You're my favorite channel!
This reminds me of the Gemma Hayter case from the town of Rugby in the United Kingdom. She was also tortured and murdered by her so called friends on 8 August 2010. The same year as Jennifer, and just six months later ☹️ Jennifer and her sister look so alike don’t they. This is such a sad sad story. ❤
Can I find that case to read about it What is wrong with people Me and my friends have had arguments but we would never hurt one another. People need the Lord in their lives. I tell ya
That poor innocent sweet woman/child. Tears at my heart thinking of her excitement to see her "friends" and not understanding why they were hurting her. These monsters were obviously unhinged. Like disease spread between the 6. So so sad for the family. I bet she is a full blown angel now. Protected and loved and waiting to see her fam again. May God be with them as well. Thanks Jiles🙏💔👼🏼
I have no idea if my recommendation is what made this onto the channel, but I remember growing up and hearing about this at my church, as her family was members there. It was so tragic to hear then, as a young teenager, and even more so now as an adult realizing the things she had to deal with. Rest in Peace, Jennifer.
Jennifer’s death touched our entire area. I think of her often, especially as I drive thru Greensburg. I’m local, too. Just couldn’t believe something so horrible could happen here. Especially to someone so innocent and trusting as Jennifer. I think my sister may have known her, but my sister passed 6 years ago and I can’t confirm it.
Wow! I am so impressed with this video! I had already seen this story done but this is by far the most thorough yet respectfully written commentary on the case. Very well done sir, as per usual!
Long-time listener to this page, as somebody who grew up in a similar background. I am in a wheelchair. However, not nearly as disadvantaged as Jennifer was in her mental capacity which absolutely makes no difference in how horrific this crime is/was. I grew up in a loving home with many others, my parents were also foster parents to dozens of other kids. I know the stories of so many parents who raise children with advanced or unique needs. The dream for all of them is that their loved ones find their place in the world and that includes living independent or semi-independent lives. Crimes like this are a sad, tragic reminder that not only will people take advantage of those in vulnerable positions, but it is a reminder for me as I live, independently in my own apartment in a relatively safe area but I am always cautious and aware of my surroundings. None of this is the fault of Jennifer or her family. I applaud them for trying their best to thread the needle between being protective of her and wanting her to experience life as best she could, their choices didn’t take that away from her, her murderers did. I worked in social services for seven years and hearing this story, chills me to the bone and breaks my heart because everybody that can should have a chance to live a life full of unique experiences, and getting the help to do that is required for some. It angers me, even as a believer and a deeply devout Christian, that evil like this does indeed exist. I won’t go off on a tirade, but it is a reason why I am a believer in the proper application of capital punishment. What shocks me, even more, is that one of her murderers himself had mental handicaps/mental issues that even those we least expect are capable of even the most unforgivable things against a fellow human being. I have commented fairly sporadically throughout my time following this page, but this one strikes at a very personal place for me. I appreciate you being honest about your purpose with Jennifer’s story, but I am also so sad that it even happened and that it has to be covered. For anybody that has known anybody with special or unique needs. Let them know you love them and if they are thriving, cheer them on. If they are struggling do what you can to be there. If they are like Jennifer just love them no matter what. Thank you for letting me get my thoughts out.
I always look forward to his videos. He made me love true crime documentaries even more. I also love his personal sarcastic comments on some of the killers 😂
I've heard this incredibly sad story. Sad for Jennifer. Unbelievable how her family was happy to let her go off with her new "friends", that's so so sad 😪 it's so disturbing people can do this to others! Absolute monsters! Thank you Giles for bringing it
Happy New Year everyone! Thank you Jiles for all your hard work! I hope everyone has a great year and many more to come! Much love from Houston!! 🎉🤘🏾🫶🏾😘💚😎
I lived in Gbg at this time, as well. I graduated from Hempfield in 05. But my cousins were students at Salem MS when this occurred.. I remember being horrified when the details started to emerge about this case. I can still visualize the mugshots of the perpetrators when they shaved their heads due to "a lice outbreak' at WCP on the cover of the Trib Review. I loathe these low life's. And never wish bad onto others, but I cannot honestly say that I'm not glad they have become familiar with the giant unlubed dildo of justice.
This is horrible, even with the love triangle or they had bad lives themselves does not excuse the fact of what these people did to this poor woman. I vaguely remember this story but you brought it to life when you built the suspense and added a little pieces of information. My mom was building highly in school as was I people can be so cruel to each other and never ceases to amaze me I hope this woman rests in peace knowing their story has not been forgotten thank you Giles
This made me feel sick... I can't imagine the emotional and physical torment that that poor girl had to go through in her final hours of life. RIP to her beautiful soul 🙏
I've heard this one before and broke my heart, but out of support to the channel I'm going to watch his telling of the story and sometimes others have info that other hadn't! Keep up the great work, ty for caring about abuse and mental illness and of COURSE may Jennifer R.I.P. ALWAYS 💯 💗 🌈
I’m from Pittsburgh and remember when this story was unfolding. 13 years later and it still breaks my heart. I have a disabled brother and it always makes me worry about him, too. He’s so vulnerable.
ABSOLUTELY HEARTBREAKING!!! This one was so hard to listen to! Her poor parents living with guilt, they only wanted her to live a fulfilling and social life. Sleep in Eternal Peace Jennifer💞💞
I remember some sources saying [on top of the love triangle] one of the 6 was on meth or something, while others said one of the girls blamed Jennifer for a bug problem (I think bed bugs or fleas or something) but I've never seen anything to corroborate that information. This case makes me want to cry every single time.
It’s hard enough to lose a loved one, especially your own child! But to learn their last 36 hours were full of torture must be horrible! I can’t even imagine the pain the family is going through! RIP Jennifer! Also IMO, the two women who were the “masterminds” should have been sentenced as harshly as the men!🤬
Yeah I agree. They should’ve been given the death sentence too! I think there should be some exceptions for the death sentence. For them, pleading guilty should have still gotten them the death sentence
When you think you’ve heard it all. I am devastated for Jennifer and her family. The only positive in this entire case is that she took down 6 sickos that deserve every second behind bars, where they can’t touch another innocent soul. RIP Sweet soul ❤
This one is extremely tough for me, because I have a younger brother who has William's syndrome, which makes him incapable of mistrusting people and thinks everyone is his friend. He's incredibly trusting and vulnerable.
I am in England and I worked with vulnerable adults. And my lovely service users had so many things that they love to do. They had many activities such as going to see their favourite bands, picnics, shopping etc. Each other had their niche they loved to do. And to think Jennifer had to endure what she did is shocking. She was tortured. RIP Jennifer.
Outstanding storytelling and research, as always. This was an appallingly horrific and cruel story. It is eye-opening, though, and we must never forget that some people are terribly bad when they have even a slight upper hand or any small degree of power over you.
Thank you for this story. I definitely needed to stop a couple of times. You did her story justice. MERRY NEW YEAR, and I look forward to this year's lineup. ✨️
I spent the entirety of yesterday listening to your vidoes from across the series, but this one by far is the most difficult I've had to finish. That poor woman. All she wanted was a friend, and I sincerely hope that they are suffering the most horrendous experience in the hellhole's they earned their way into.
My brother is mentally disabled and when we were in school, me and my friends were fiercely protective of him. It’s a special kind of F’d up to bully or mess with special needs kids
It's these kinds of cases that give reasons to have the death penalty. Human rights arguments don't apply to them because they revoked those rights when they chose to be MONSTERS. The amount of effort and energy used to torment that poor baby is beyond words. I certainly hope she is in a peaceful place now. I also hope her family does not blame themselves anymore as they did nothing wrong. Let's make Jennifer's law a real thing for the future.
Human rights isn’t something one can revoke! Human Rights is defined as something that applies to everyone under all circumstances! People who had shitty lives, did something extremely shitty - that doesn’t mean we should start murdering them!
Ive watched a few videos on this case and one thing i can say about Jennifer Daugherty is in every single picture of her she is so vibrant so beautiful and so innocent. I will never understand how anyone could hurt her this is a true loss to the world
HAPPY NEW YEAR! Sending love to you and your family Jiles, from Australia! Thanks for all the great work, look forward to watching what's in store for 2023. Cheers! 💖🦘
I honestly feel sick watching this, and required some strength to get though it My heart goes out to her family, and all her loved ones. Knowing this is how she spent her last moments is heart wrenching, I hope the 6 get the same done back to them everyday.
I am SO grateful that you are not among the many TC weenies that are so petrified of losing their monetization that they bleep out every word that could be offensive to anyone.
Happy New Year!.. Appreciate all the work these things take to research, write and make.. the subject matter is always just awful and it can’t be easy to wade through it constantly. You’re appreciated a great deal Jiles! Hope the New Year is a good and peaceful one for you. ATB..
I know this story well and must say I’m forcing myself to listen again. We all need to be aware of the evil in this world. My prayers to her family. RIP Jennifer
I went to highschool with Jen. & in HS she was not made fun of at least that I know of or seen. Everyone was super nice to her bc she was always so very nice & sweet to everyone. We had a few special needs kids in our highschool & most all of us looked out for her & the others. Of course I’m sure there were some a holes that made fun of her. But for the most part , everyone I knew stuck up for her. Hearing about what happened to her from those pieces of trash , was heart breaking! RIP Jennifer. ❤
I'm sry I was always protective of anything needing it Right now I'm talikg care of a black 🙀 lol I hate what happened to this poor girl I know it upset everyone that knew her. I wish I could just hug each one of you. Especially her family Take care honey Love from Virginia
This case was just the worst ever the things they did to Jennifer was beyond comprehension. I’m so glad these monsters stay locked up forever. Love your podcasts they are horrific but need to be never forgotten.
Fairly new subscriber (6weeks?) and my first comment but THANK YOU for putting out quality content and doing it CONSISTENTLY. I subscribe to a few true crime channels and am always clinging to notifications (and doing so frustratingly and impatiently) as to when they upload new content because many don’t do so at such a regular pace as you! I recommend your channel to my friends now and you’re definitely a favorite. Happy New Year and keep up the great work (and be safe out there).
Ive had 2 head injuries in my life. One bike wreck and another cleaning mishap with a dog crate. The bike wreck made me a little loopy for a coupe of months. My brain would stall finding the right words. The cleaning accident I basically head butted an eight in step rod with all my body weight. I had a full concussion, with nausea, blurred vision and loss of memory of the event. Friend picked me up for work and immediately asked if I was ok, seeing my face. I hd no idea why he was talking about. I then lost my job and my relationship in the next month. You have not lived until a softball size clod of mucus is squeezed out of your head.
I’m sorry to hear you’ve gone through that. My friend worked with special needs kids and got severely injured by one. She’s gone through so many hours of physical therapy, but still has trouble talking, is sensitive to light and noises. I hope that you’re making a recovery 🖤
@@TipTheScales27 yeah this happen some years ago like 2007 and 2017 if I recall. My gf worked with severely handicapped kids and I went to my state school for the blind. I recall more than once getting flung aside as a staff member was escorting and mhdb student down the hall. Super retard strength is real. I saw an 11 year old pick up an 18 year old girl and lift her nearly a foot off the ground, slam her into the locker and yell leave me alone, as she was messing with him. It was fast and the look on her face was priceless. Same kid broke a man’s arm, and injured someone’s eye throwing a plate.
Mount Pleasant is my home town and this was a tragedy I will never forget. I cannot imagine what Jennifer must of gone through and we were all so angry that something like this could happen around here. Let alone anywhere. R.i.p. Jennifer, you did not deserve that and I hope Jennifer's Law passes!

This reminds me of the murder of Suzanne Capper because she was tortured and murdered by people she thought were her friends. It's just so awful.

I live in Latrobe and would never have guessed this many murderers would be around here. This area has really gone downhill the last 15 years.
This was extremely difficult to hear. I can't even let my mind absorb the brutality on ANYONE, much less someone so trusting. She must have been so confused and scared. I can't even...😣
I worked with Jennifer's mother. This was absolutely disgusting what they did to Jennifer. None of us will ever forget this.
That’s putting it lightly. This was demonic
Nothing worse than seeing people who have been victimised when they were vulnerable, victimising people more vulnerable than them.

I lived in the area when this happened and know of these people.. they'd literally just stand at the corner store begging for change or $1 for a beer and bumming cigarettes (mainly the dudes) and would get so pissed if you turned one of them down. Stealing from the same store even though the owner could clearly see them... They were so awful outwardly R.I.P Jennifer
I'm sorry u had to even see this bunch of trash
South Greensburg or closer to Hempfield or Harrison City? I'm from Jeannette and obviously I've been through Greensburg many, MANY times and I've never noticed any of these people except maybe seeing that black dude causing a scene at that Greensburg video store n 2009....what was that videos store name again?
@@KadyFillinger South, I wanna say on Edgewater or Edgewood avenue (its a dead end block) it's been so long and I be chiefing💨💨💨 so I don't remember exactly what block lol... I don't remember there being a video store there.. I do remember the Asian lady (Rose) that sold bootleg movies with the shopping cart up and down Pennsylvania Ave though
@@misfit1nx865 Family Video was it's name. It was right on N Main street. It was a trademark of Greensburg.
@@misfit1nx865 and no worries, I believe you
Thanks for the upload. I always like the way you speak for the victims. We need to never forget them….ever!
Great job covering such a traumatizing case! Emma Kenney also covered it and did a fantastic job, as well. I was living in Gbg at the time, and this still stands at the top of one of the worst crimes to have occurred in the area.
My love for true crime is borderline obsessive, and this is one of my favorite true crime channels.
As a parent of an adult child that has some similar disabilities, I'm sitting here shaking my head. It was always my greatest fear that someone some day would take advantage of his innocence. I'm glad that I played the role of overprotective mom and got to know EVERY person he came in contact with. Even though we was an adult I had forbid him from seeing certain people that weren't a good element. It kept him safe, even if he thought I was going overboard.
Exactly! It sounds like her parents never even met her “friends” or personally vetted them in any way before jumping at the idea of sending her out of town for the night- as a trial run for her eventually living out of town and spending all her time with them.
God bless you. I think it is a bit of a misunderstanding people have that just because a person with a mental handicap has a guesstimate age capability will sort of grow out of it like a milestone to be conquered. But it means much more than that. Well done you are a truly dutiful parent.
youre a good mom ❤
Good on ya! They can be upset and mad about it but at least they're safe!
There are some of us out here who will protect them by all means. If I see something like that, I get involved by all means.
You get better with EVERY vid you make. I'm up at 4:30am with COVID so thank you. I needed it. I just hate that this poor gal was horribly treated.
I hope you get better soon. 🤒
Ugh! I'm so sorry. I'm recovering from it myself. I hate it! This is my 2nd confirmed case, however, I'm pretty sure I've had it 3 times. It's been at least a year though, I wasn't expecting this, at all! Sending you well wishes!
Bless your heart
My best friend went to visit her uncle in a nursing home.
They didn't warn her her uncle nor anyone else
Now she the uncle and her husband have covid and I was all around them.. hopefully I'm ok.ill pray over u
Brutal start for this season. On point. You never disappoint Jiles and co.
I watch so many crime videos but never expect for my home to be the subject of them. Jennifer deserves to be remembered, especially among the locals who turned their eyes to the decades of bullying she endured. I'm sorry our town did this to you, Jennifer
Thanks Jiles! Happy New Year 🎉❤
Ohhhhhh… I just started watching… I remember this story. I can’t watch this one, it just breaks my heart. It’s especially cruel and she was so innocent in her mind. I can’t do it again. But always here to support the channel.
This was completely heartbreaking to listen to. Humanity is so fkd up.
RIP to Jennifer... Such a heart-breaking case but you did great on the coverage.
This is very upsetting I’m in tears my daughter is disabled! My baby is very trusting almost child like. They’re really are monster’s in this world!😞
Honestly this could have happened to anyone, disabled or not.
@@Lilybun True!
@Thou Swell oh Lord me too she’s so very sweet and trusting. I admit I would go to jail for something like this with no hesitation!
my heart physically ached so bad hearing this case i actually thought i was about to have an attack... i just wish i could hug her very warmly and tell her everything is fine
Your content has such a nice flow and I naturally want to hear more and more. And more importantly it comes through how deeply you engage with the victims and the respectful way you treat each one. You're my favorite channel!
This reminds me of the Gemma Hayter case from the town of Rugby in the United Kingdom.
She was also tortured and murdered by her so called friends on 8 August 2010.
The same year as Jennifer, and just six months later ☹️
Jennifer and her sister look so alike don’t they.
This is such a sad sad story. ❤
Can I find that case to read about it
What is wrong with people
Me and my friends have had arguments but we would never hurt one another.
People need the Lord in their lives. I tell ya
That poor innocent sweet woman/child. Tears at my heart thinking of her excitement to see her "friends" and not understanding why they were hurting her. These monsters were obviously unhinged. Like disease spread between the 6. So so sad for the family. I bet she is a full blown angel now. Protected and loved and waiting to see her fam again. May God be with them as well. Thanks Jiles🙏💔👼🏼
I have no idea if my recommendation is what made this onto the channel, but I remember growing up and hearing about this at my church, as her family was members there. It was so tragic to hear then, as a young teenager, and even more so now as an adult realizing the things she had to deal with. Rest in Peace, Jennifer.
Jennifer’s death touched our entire area. I think of her often, especially as I drive thru Greensburg. I’m local, too. Just couldn’t believe something so horrible could happen here. Especially to someone so innocent and trusting as Jennifer. I think my sister may have known her, but my sister passed 6 years ago and I can’t confirm it.
@@jessicah4462 aww, I'm so sorry for the loss of your sister!💜
Wow! I am so impressed with this video! I had already seen this story done but this is by far the most thorough yet respectfully written commentary on the case. Very well done sir, as per usual!
My night is now made. Im with you guys. Jiles (Mr.Monsters) is the best in crime journalism
Long-time listener to this page, as somebody who grew up in a similar background. I am in a wheelchair. However, not nearly as disadvantaged as Jennifer was in her mental capacity which absolutely makes no difference in how horrific this crime is/was.
I grew up in a loving home with many others, my parents were also foster parents to dozens of other kids. I know the stories of so many parents who raise children with advanced or unique needs.
The dream for all of them is that their loved ones find their place in the world and that includes living independent or semi-independent lives. Crimes like this are a sad, tragic reminder that not only will people take advantage of those in vulnerable positions, but it is a reminder for me as I live, independently in my own apartment in a relatively safe area but I am always cautious and aware of my surroundings.
None of this is the fault of Jennifer or her family. I applaud them for trying their best to thread the needle between being protective of her and wanting her to experience life as best she could, their choices didn’t take that away from her, her murderers did.
I worked in social services for seven years and hearing this story, chills me to the bone and breaks my heart because everybody that can should have a chance to live a life full of unique experiences, and getting the help to do that is required for some.
It angers me, even as a believer and a deeply devout Christian, that evil like this does indeed exist. I won’t go off on a tirade, but it is a reason why I am a believer in the proper application of capital punishment.
What shocks me, even more, is that one of her murderers himself had mental handicaps/mental issues that even those we least expect are capable of even the most unforgivable things against a fellow human being.
I have commented fairly sporadically throughout my time following this page, but this one strikes at a very personal place for me. I appreciate you being honest about your purpose with Jennifer’s story, but I am also so sad that it even happened and that it has to be covered. For anybody that has known anybody with special or unique needs. Let them know you love them and if they are thriving, cheer them on.
If they are struggling do what you can to be there.
If they are like Jennifer just love them no matter what.
Thank you for letting me get my thoughts out.
I always look forward to his videos. He made me love true crime documentaries even more. I also love his personal sarcastic comments on some of the killers 😂
I love the doormat labelled ' Get the fxxk out of here ' this case is too grim though. R.I.P Jennifer 😑
I've heard this incredibly sad story. Sad for Jennifer. Unbelievable how her family was happy to let her go off with her new "friends", that's so so sad 😪 it's so disturbing people can do this to others! Absolute monsters! Thank you Giles for bringing it
Thanks Giles for making day 2 of 2023 awesome as I've missed your stories over the Christmas New Year break.🇦🇺
Happy New Year everyone! Thank you Jiles for all your hard work! I hope everyone has a great year and many more to come! Much love from Houston!! 🎉🤘🏾🫶🏾😘💚😎
I’m grateful to see this case being brought attention. I grew up in pgh as it happened and the news coverage haunted me.
I feel like I've listened to almost every monsters episode. This is the one that's gotten me...
Happy New Year, thank you so much for your continued support for victims.Justice for victims!!
Well done. I've already seen a documentary on this horrible crime but this provided so much extra information that I watched until the end.👍
Being from that area I remember when this happened. It broke my heart then, and does so still, hearing it here. Very well done.
I lived in Gbg at this time, as well. I graduated from Hempfield in 05. But my cousins were students at Salem MS when this occurred.. I remember being horrified when the details started to emerge about this case. I can still visualize the mugshots of the perpetrators when they shaved their heads due to "a lice outbreak' at WCP on the cover of the Trib Review. I loathe these low life's. And never wish bad onto others, but I cannot honestly say that I'm not glad they have become familiar with the giant unlubed dildo of justice.
This is horrible, even with the love triangle or they had bad lives themselves does not excuse the fact of what these people did to this poor woman. I vaguely remember this story but you brought it to life when you built the suspense and added a little pieces of information. My mom was building highly in school as was I people can be so cruel to each other and never ceases to amaze me I hope this woman rests in peace knowing their story has not been forgotten thank you Giles
This made me feel sick...
I can't imagine the emotional and physical torment that that poor girl had to go through in her final hours of life.
RIP to her beautiful soul 🙏
I've heard this one before and broke my heart, but out of support to the channel I'm going to watch his telling of the story and sometimes others have info that other hadn't! Keep up the great work, ty for caring about abuse and mental illness and of COURSE may Jennifer R.I.P. ALWAYS 💯 💗 🌈
You are simply the best when it comes to true crime! Thank you. 😊
I’m from Pittsburgh and remember when this story was unfolding. 13 years later and it still breaks my heart. I have a disabled brother and it always makes me worry about him, too. He’s so vulnerable.
A horrible betrayal from these "friends" she must have been so scared and wanting her family. Rest in peace 💔
ABSOLUTELY HEARTBREAKING!!! This one was so hard to listen to! Her poor parents living with guilt, they only wanted her to live a fulfilling and social life. Sleep in Eternal Peace Jennifer💞💞
I remember some sources saying [on top of the love triangle] one of the 6 was on meth or something, while others said one of the girls blamed Jennifer for a bug problem (I think bed bugs or fleas or something) but I've never seen anything to corroborate that information. This case makes me want to cry every single time.
The story of Jennifer always crushes me, how anyone could torture that sweet girl I'll never understand. Rest easy beautiful girl
I've watched a lot of true crime and this is one of the ones that made me cry. Just horrible and sad. Rest in heaven Jennifer. So sad. 😞
This one made me cry so hard. That poor woman 😢 Not that anyone deserves what she went through, but she especially didn’t deserve that!
@@TipTheScales27 HORRIBLE! So sad!
It’s hard enough to lose a loved one, especially your own child! But to learn their last 36 hours were full of torture must be horrible! I can’t even imagine the pain the family is going through! RIP Jennifer! Also IMO, the two women who were the “masterminds” should have been sentenced as harshly as the men!🤬
Yeah I agree. They should’ve been given the death sentence too! I think there should be some exceptions for the death sentence. For them, pleading guilty should have still gotten them the death sentence
I agree
When you think you’ve heard it all. I am devastated for Jennifer and her family. The only positive in this entire case is that she took down 6 sickos that deserve every second behind bars, where they can’t touch another innocent soul. RIP Sweet soul ❤
Whoohoo! Happy new year Jiles. That intro was so exciting.
I already know this whole story. Can't wait to hear you tell it, though!
This one is extremely tough for me, because I have a younger brother who has William's syndrome, which makes him incapable of mistrusting people and thinks everyone is his friend. He's incredibly trusting and vulnerable.
A terrible and sad story. I am so sorry for her parents and family. Lose a child to torture and assassination is horrible.
R.I.P. Jennifer.
HNY Jiles and the whole TIM community. Much love for a great 2023 to all from Melbourne Australia🙏🌏💙
I am in England and I worked with vulnerable adults. And my lovely service users had so many things that they love to do. They had many activities such as going to see their favourite bands, picnics, shopping etc. Each other had their niche they loved to do. And to think Jennifer had to endure what she did is shocking. She was tortured. RIP Jennifer.
Hands down best crime channel!! I love the very compassionate open you did today
It’s so nice to see everyone thanking Jiles for making these videos!
One of the better communities on UA-cam I imagine. Ironic given the name lol
This is by far the best youtube Chanel out there. I like that chapter too but this shit slaps harder imo
Outstanding storytelling and research, as always. This was an appallingly horrific and cruel story. It is eye-opening, though, and we must never forget that some people are terribly bad when they have even a slight upper hand or any small degree of power over you.
Can’t wait. Sending love and hugs from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪 xxx
I listen to true crime podcasts all the time, but Monsters is the best. Rest in Peace, Jennifer.
Check out explore interogation
Thank you for this story. I definitely needed to stop a couple of times. You did her story justice.
MERRY NEW YEAR, and I look forward to this year's lineup. ✨️
I spent the entirety of yesterday listening to your vidoes from across the series, but this one by far is the most difficult I've had to finish.
That poor woman. All she wanted was a friend, and I sincerely hope that they are suffering the most horrendous experience in the hellhole's they earned their way into.
My brother is mentally disabled and when we were in school, me and my friends were fiercely protective of him. It’s a special kind of F’d up to bully or mess with special needs kids
It's these kinds of cases that give reasons to have the death penalty. Human rights arguments don't apply to them because they revoked those rights when they chose to be MONSTERS.
The amount of effort and energy used to torment that poor baby is beyond words.
I certainly hope she is in a peaceful place now. I also hope her family does not blame themselves anymore as they did nothing wrong. Let's make Jennifer's law a real thing for the future.
Human rights isn’t something one can revoke!
Human Rights is defined as something that applies to everyone under all circumstances!
People who had shitty lives, did something extremely shitty - that doesn’t mean we should start murdering them!
Agree
This is absolutely heartbreaking. Rest in peace Jennifer🙏🏾 I’m so sorry these monsters did what they did to you.
Ive watched a few videos on this case and one thing i can say about Jennifer Daugherty is in every single picture of her she is so vibrant so beautiful and so innocent. I will never understand how anyone could hurt her this is a true loss to the world
I never heard about this case. Thank you for this video. R.I.P. Jennifer 😥.
HAPPY NEW YEAR! Sending love to you and your family Jiles, from Australia! Thanks for all the great work, look forward to watching what's in store for 2023. Cheers! 💖🦘
I honestly feel sick watching this, and required some strength to get though it
My heart goes out to her family, and all her loved ones.
Knowing this is how she spent her last moments is heart wrenching, I hope the 6 get the same done back to them everyday.
There’s a fantastic movie where that happens. Dead Men’s Shoes starring the great Paddy Considine.
I am SO grateful that you are not among the many TC weenies that are so petrified of losing their monetization that they bleep out every word that could be offensive to anyone.
Happy New Year!.. Appreciate all the work these things take to research, write and make.. the subject matter is always just awful and it can’t be easy to wade through it constantly. You’re appreciated a great deal Jiles! Hope the New Year is a good and peaceful one for you. ATB..
Thank you, Jiles!
I know this story well and must say I’m forcing myself to listen again. We all need to be aware of the evil in this world. My prayers to her family. RIP Jennifer
I love your work ethic sir!!!! You be kicking out videos like crazy and I love it.Happy New Year!!!!!
I went to school with Jennifer. One of the sweetest, most harmless human beings you will ever meet
Missed the premier but regardless Im happy you’re covering this case, the topics involved, and with a lot of tact. Thank you.
This is so heartbreaking and infuriating. That poor, innocent girl.
I went to highschool with Jen. & in HS she was not made fun of at least that I know of or seen. Everyone was super nice to her bc she was always so very nice & sweet to everyone. We had a few special needs kids in our highschool & most all of us looked out for her & the others. Of course I’m sure there were some a holes that made fun of her. But for the most part , everyone I knew stuck up for her. Hearing about what happened to her from those pieces of trash , was heart breaking! RIP Jennifer. ❤
She still probably was, you just didn’t see it. Bullies like to prey on people when there’s nobody watching
I'm sry
I was always protective of anything needing it
Right now I'm talikg care of a black 🙀 lol
I hate what happened to this poor girl I know it upset everyone that knew her.
I wish I could just hug each one of you. Especially her family
Take care honey
Love from Virginia
This case was just the worst ever the things they did to Jennifer was beyond comprehension. I’m so glad these monsters stay locked up forever. Love your podcasts they are horrific but need to be never forgotten.
I live about 1.5 hours from where this happened and went to high school with one of the monsters.. I remember this sad case very vividly 😢
Fairly new subscriber (6weeks?) and my first comment but THANK YOU for putting out quality content and doing it CONSISTENTLY. I subscribe to a few true crime channels and am always clinging to notifications (and doing so frustratingly and impatiently) as to when they upload new content because many don’t do so at such a regular pace as you! I recommend your channel to my friends now and you’re definitely a favorite. Happy New Year and keep up the great work (and be safe out there).
Ive had 2 head injuries in my life. One bike wreck and another cleaning mishap with a dog crate. The bike wreck made me a little loopy for a coupe of months. My brain would stall finding the right words. The cleaning accident I basically head butted an eight in step rod with all my body weight.
I had a full concussion, with nausea, blurred vision and loss of memory of the event.
Friend picked me up for work and immediately asked if I was ok, seeing my face.
I hd no idea why he was talking about.
I then lost my job and my relationship in the next month.
You have not lived until a softball size clod of mucus is squeezed out of your head.
I’m sorry to hear you’ve gone through that. My friend worked with special needs kids and got severely injured by one. She’s gone through so many hours of physical therapy, but still has trouble talking, is sensitive to light and noises. I hope that you’re making a recovery 🖤
@@TipTheScales27 yeah this happen some years ago like 2007 and 2017 if I recall.
My gf worked with severely handicapped kids and I went to my state school for the blind.
I recall more than once getting flung aside as a staff member was escorting and mhdb student down the hall.
Super retard strength is real.
I saw an 11 year old pick up an 18 year old girl and lift her nearly a foot off the ground, slam her into the locker and yell leave me alone, as she was messing with him.
It was fast and the look on her face was priceless.
Same kid broke a man’s arm, and injured someone’s eye throwing a plate.
Season 9? Wow! I started listening halfway through season 1. Great job, as always, sir.
Mount Pleasant is my home town and this was a tragedy I will never forget. I cannot imagine what Jennifer must of gone through and we were all so angry that something like this could happen around here. Let alone anywhere. R.i.p. Jennifer, you did not deserve that and I hope Jennifer's Law passes!
