FOR THE LOVE OF BUN REDO Hinterkaifeck Farm Murders and Somerton Man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!a!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 IM BEGGING YOU ON BENT KNEES!!!!!!!
I have an unhealthy obsession with this channel
What’s one place, outside the USA, you’d visit for the sake of this show?
BuzzFeed Unsolved Network Are you ever gonna finish the Hot Daga, Shane. Or are you just a yellow-bellied coward?
I love how Shane’s reason you can’t give teens hammocks is because “the smooching might escalate” whereas Ryan immediately thinks “yeah that’s much harder to escape a serial killer from a hammock”
Exactly like ryan is such an inccent person lol and shane is thinkinh about well we both know lol
Ah the murder bag
Priorities
"Murder bag"
omg yes ahahaha
How about newspapers use "The Jackass wearing a potato sack on his head" instead of the way cooler sounding "Phantom Killer"? That just strokes his ego.
yes, if I were a murderer, being called something cool would just make me want to commit more crime, so my name would be spread. from here, we should just give them unflattering names like "the micropenis maniac"
@@ratsovereign2887 I respect you, sir or ma'am.
Actually leading psychiatrists suggest that newspapers did this to prevent angering the killer and to prevent him from killing more to elevate his status.
A serial killer is often a genius who outwits everyone, along with police department.
@@abhishekconstantinewinches9907 some yes but most of them just got lucky that the cops are terrible at their jobs
These are some of the strongest victims I’ve heard of. A dude got his skull cracked but still stood up, a lady got shot in the face TWICE but still walked out of her house - these are some extreme people.
It Texas. Plain and Simple.
no the axe man victims were badass the one lady was struck with an axe then gave birth to her child right after and survived the one guy was struck eighteen times before he died and either the same guy or another one only died two hours after he was attacked now thats some strong victims
@@soundbreakerharms3915 very true
they were built different
It's the adrenaline That their bodies made.
The lady who got shot in the face had to have been running on pure adrenaline to be able to make it to a neighbors house and to the hospital.
She was a total badass.
“It’s crazy that you can kill five people in the 1940s and then live on to see the opening of Jurassic Park.”
“...thank you for that...colorful perspective.”
I'm the 500th liker lol
Lol
Best thing I've ever heard hahah
Love him or hate him, he spitting straight facts
Anyone knows if Shane is on Instagram ?
tip: if a serial killer is chasing you, *take off your heels and chuck them at their face*
what if you’re a man that doesn’t wear heels
@@mookie77 Start wearing 'em.
Kick them with your steel toe boots, 3/4 of the men in us wear them 🤷🏻♀️
- Flower Bunnies - “3/4 of men in us” bruh are you drunk
Better yet stab someone's eyes out with the heels.
Idk about y’all, but one of the most disturbing parts of these stories to me are men in their late twenties dating 17 year olds.
Yup
this was in the 40's so this wasn't uncommon
it's still common now because most women like dating older guys, ik at least one girl at my school who is fifteen and dating a 22 year old
@@dragonflamexdoom3952 seriously? That's messed up.
Age of consent is lower than 18 in most places I think
shane: is this bit still funny?? it’s 2019-
me: ah, yeah. this guys an immortal
It's common knowledge that Shane is a demon, probably one of the originals, that's why he's not afraid of anything supernatural bc everything supernatural is scared of him
@@anastasiawilletts7175 exactly, since he says, “Hey spirits, it’s ya boy,”
Honestly, I lol’d at this and the hammock bit. I think this is one of the funniest episodes for side commentary. 😂
Ryan: 👁 👁

whenever i see a woman running from something while wearing high heels, the only thought in my mind is “TAKE YOUR HIGH HEELS OFFF”
Ask Claire how she out ran a T-rex in high heels
Shadow Hunter the highest estimated speed of a t-Rex is 12 mph. Most people can run faster than that with or without heels.
One Woman like ran a marathon while wearing them too but a scientist eh maybe not.
If I was a woman in heels and someone was trying to kill me those heels are going off and into that Guy's eyes.
YES YES YES
Fun fact: they called him “The Phantom” because of the movie “Phantom” that was released around the same time. These murders are considered to be the origin of the Hookman urban legend.
man door hand hook car door?
man door hand hook car door 😢
“He’s a sweet boy...I wanna Boobie hug him!” “Come this way, sir, you’re a sweet boy with a fuzzy face I’ll give you a little hug” Shane talking about his cat is adorable though
We need his cat on Buzzfeed Unsolved
i’m genuinely surprised that shane had no reaction to that guy’s name being “doodie”
I was searching for this comment.
Low hanging fruit.
Angelica Mullins Me tooooo!!
SAAAM.EEEEEE
Oh my gosh me too! I was cracking up because of the name. But Shane left us hanging!
No one:
Ryan: “end quote”
No one: Ryan: end quote
I thought he said “and quote”
And Ryan proceeded to say quote “quote... end quote” end quote 😂
*_i now use it ironically because of this._*
It's almost like saying period
Hearing Ryan’s effort to correctly pronounce “February” after we bullied him for it is absolutely hilarious
It’s so delightful to see Ryan and Shane’s friendship blossom and grow throughout this series.
Just saying that if a killer is running after you and you have heels on...TAKE OFF YOUR DAMN HEELS
But sometimes it would take longer than just running. Like if they had straps D:
Like bet him up with your heels
TiaMahic I”ll throw one @ my murderer if I can
IKR!? Take them off and throw them at him or kick them off at least.
Murderer: Run Away and don't come back
Woman: Hold up, hold up. I need to get these off hehe *almost trips*
Murderer: ...
Woman: Thank you very much indeed. Good day :D
"we gotta give kids places to make out"
SHANE MADEJ FOR PRESIDENT
Noriene he’s got my vote
HONESTLY
He’s got my vote too.
I. Wynn Wynn wow u must be fun at parties
I. Wynn Wynn Better than doing it in a car one an empty country road and being murdered
I was born and raised here in Texarkana. It's always been a big deal around here. I remember my great grandparents telling me how absolutely terrifying it was for them. To never really know who the killer was really made it that much worse for our town. By now he's either extremely old or has passed away.
How old would he be if he was still alive
at least 90 i would think if not 100@@andressaucedapadron1937
I love hearing Shane talk about his cat Obi. It’s so sweet and endearing. I feel the same way about my two kitties.
Honestly his cat bits on watcher are priceless
I knoww that made me so happy
KATIE SURVIVED GETTING SHOT IN THE FACE YALL THATS RAW STRENGTH SHE SURVIVED I HOPE SHE TURNED OUT OK
She was traumatized but yeah lived a decently normal life from what I remember
Her face was fucked up
An advocate for women's education rights in the middle east (Syria if I remember correctly) got shot in the face and survived
Anthony Hayes are you talking about Malala Yousufszai?
Illia Vuika lmao I’m crying yes I think they’re talking about Malala why did they refer to her like thattt
1940s single people must’ve felt pretty good
the serial killer could have been single and salty asf so he decided to kill a bunch of couples and assault the females
heehee this made me laugh 😂😂
@@vanillamochii9706 Incels be dangerous
Or secure couples that didn't need to go to a remote location to make out in a car at night....
I lived in Texarkana for a short period of time. . . people there are really strangely eager to tell you about it. It's like "Yeah we've got our own serial killer, you know." Like it's some strange local landmark. As if once a town reaches a certain level, it gets a serial killer.
😂
i always assumed that some serial killers where masks just in case they don’t actually kill the victim. for example, they attack 2 people with the intent of killing both but only kill one. if they had a mask, they can’t get caught but if they didn’t have one, it’d be over almost instantly.
Or so witnesses can’t give a description of what they actually look like
@@matthewelvis5221 yeah but serial killers usually kill each victim in very secluded locations with no one but them around but, it’s possible
“Crazy to think that you can kill 5 people in the 1940s and live long enough to see Jurassic park in cinemas”
That may be the funniest sentence I have ever heard
I just about pissed myself reading this
@@clairegraham5702 ok
Considering the average age of guys at Normandy and Iwo Jima, it’s not really that surprising.
He either died or was incarcerated because the murders suddenly stopped the guy confessing is not as strong as it seems because there was probably a hundred people or more confessing
THE DUDE WAS 29 AND THE GIRL 17 AND THEY WERE MAKING OUT
Nobody:
Shane:
Ryan:
Us: ALL HAIL THE WATCHER
Why do people keep saying this? Can someone explain
the “us” is literally *xuxi*
@Carina Favela Watch their video on the watcher. You’ll get it
Carina Favela watch the video on the watcher a couple days ago. It’s a meme on this channel now lol
ALL HAIL THE WATCHER
Ive lived in this town all of my life and it has definitely calmed down in terms of crime compared to these days. Pretty much every family has a story about this time period. Also when I was in boy scouts we camped out at the place that some of the murders took place and pretty much all of our scout masters would say stuff like "you know the phantom killer was never caught" right before we went to sleep. As all of us grew up we would continue that tradition on the newer scouts for some scary campfire stories.
I di the same thing in SLP! as a scout.
Grew up and lived in Texarkana (Texas side) my great grandma always told me and my sisters as kids to stay inside after sunset because she grew up during the killings and the whole thing scared her and made her scared for us even though it happened YEARS ago
Every time Ryan mispronounces "February" an angel get his wings!
He says it correct. YOU are wrong
@@lukereyalp3068 no actually, you're wrong.
The disrespect for February
Ok, so now we have millions of crazy Angel's flying around heaven. *YA HAPPY??*
Do you say Illinois with the S?
“Kids need places to makeout”
Shane is the mom from Mean Girls 😂😂
Arielle Lewis “I’m not a regular host, im a cool host, right Ryan?” “Please stop,”
Fran LoIacono I just spit my water out 😂😂😂😂
*to make out, TWO words.
Malvavisco okay Mom 😂
And he even said they need a drink and stuff like that ("do you guys need something, a snack maybe a condom")
As a texan, I gotta say it's so in character for people to just rig up booby traps to fight off a murderer lol.
Truth serum just lowers your inhibitions by making you incredibly tired, most people administered it fall asleep shortly after the interrogation is over
So it’s a sedative?
“Murder town USA”
*shane looks a little proud*
You trynna tell us something Shane?
I noticed that too LOL
He is definitely Hiding something. That we don’t know about.
Right just like in keddie cabin murders when shane" anyone of my friends could murder me
Ryan: exactly
Shane: would u murder me?
Ryan: looks into camera and says no
yet he's afraid that some strangers would offer him heroin and got him hooked
i’m the 1000 like 👁👄👁
Ryan: 29 year old and 17 year old on lovers lane
Me: what in the r kelly
Kaii Venice it was normal back then. Still happens today really.
Glitter Lover also the age of consent in Texas is 17
Lmfao
I thought it said Mary Jeanne was 19?
“what in the r kelly” HAHAHWIROOTPROWUSHFURJT F OMG
Shane on a normal basis: 😈
Shane with cats: 😸
Y'know what? Relatable
I love it when people actually confess to the murder on their death bed and people are all like "I don't think so" like why lie at that point? The guy literally killed himself over the guilt and people say "nah"
2 years later but figured I'd answer. Some ppl confess to gain notoriety or fame of some kind. Look at how many are or claim to be related to DB Cooper. Several well known serial killers such as the Iceman have claimed to have committed crimes they couldn't have committed bc they're seeking attention. The Smiley Face Killer had 2 ppl confess to one of his crimes. Some ppl who have specific mental illnesses will confess to crimes they didn't commit too. Not even needing anyone to ask "Did you do this". They'll just walk into the police station and say "hey I did this murder".

@@ahhhnushka how so lol
@@ahhhnushka yes ma'am i know because i am 19 lol
@@ahhhnushka yes why are they together then thats what i am wondering i mean fid the parents know that he was a legal adult?
I'm from TK and we watch the movie, "The Town that Dreaded Sundown" in the park where some of the murders happened on Halloween.
which is so weird bc that's allegedly where the people were actually killed
I have did this for years as well watching the movie in the park.
It's interesting to think that, being from Texarkana, that it was known as a "rowdy town" that was "full of violence" at the time. People act like it was the perfect southern place to live. Keep your doors unlocked kind of thing. Then the murders happened.
I know it's crime ridden. Though, unsure if it has more crime than other cities of its size.
Oh! And the Hotel Grim is still there but has been shut down for a LONG time. Rotting and falling apart, a place for teens to sneak into for unsafe shenanigans.
Also, two movies based on this. They watch them every year in a place very close to one of the murders, which is now a park.
its a lot like folks who discovered deep ellum in the mid 90s and now say "deep ellum is GETTING dangerous" hahahaha. it was ALWAYS dangerous and any break in that was a brief anomaly
This is a PSA, "hammock" is no longer a word in the dictionary. What was previously known as a "hammock" is now known as a "Murder Bag." Thank you and goodnight.
“Spider net”
My asian parents were more concerned about the age gap of the victims, wtf.
NineTiNine 9•T•9 I mean that as well is concerning
I mean that is Also pretty concerning imo, everyone's always like "it was a different time" but 20+ year olds should not see a 17 year old as a potential romantic partner tbh
🤣🤣🤣
Riiight! I went back to listen again to the ages after he did them.
Lunar Raevyn 17 and 20 isnt the worst age gap, only 3 years. Still legal in most states
Um, I just realized that Polly Anne was SEVENTEEN and Richard was TWENTY-NINE.
YALL WHAT.
It was the 1940's, and the age of consent is 17 in texas I think
it was the 40s its not too outragous. Also didnt a celebrity couple from the show "Heros" date when the girk was 18 and the guy was 30? Same difference.
yep creeeeepy
@@sms1511 ^ that’s at you too! Weirdo
@@alyssaanderson402 I am simply stating the facts, they are both creepy age gaps but it happens till this day.
I have watched several times and the most underrated part has got to be when ryan says "I dont think they have a list at THE Texas police station" as if there is only one for the entire state I lose it
I actually live in Texarkana and this is the scariest thing ever, knowing he never got caught but he’s probably really old now
old and spry looking for a come back murder
He would be like 95
P R O B A B L Y
I live in Texarkana too! Off on College drive. I really want to go look at some of these places now.
that fact that you said “probably” as if its a possibility the killer doesnt age😭
So a 29 yr old and 17 yr old were found on “lovers lane” and that’s not questioned? ? ? Okay....👀
It was another time, thing's were different.
It was in the 40’s. That wasn’t unusual
Trustine Vu that's a BIG gap. Even for the south back then
Right but maybe everyone's just more concerned about the murderer dude here so maybe it wasn't mentioned
That's just 1940's Texas for you
Yall what was a 29 year old doing with a 17 year old on lover's lane 😭
What's the big deal? It was in Texas, was it not? The age in texas is 17. You're letting the age gap be a huge deal, just because it's illegal for adults to be with kids like that. What if a 20 year old was with a 35 year old? 17 year olds tend to be more mentally mature than say... a 10 year old. People have such a problem with who others are in a relationship with, these days. As long as they aren't children, be with whoever you want. No need to try and shame them for it.
@@billbertboyce324 17 yo are babies imo. Definitely not mature. 20 is when they start being grown lol. 20 -29 is all good. 17 and 29 too big gap. Both are in completely different stages in life. At 29 you can have a doctorate, should have maybe a house. 17 still in hs. Its weird
@@Mooodyyhhh the 17 year olds I've seen and talked with are actually really mature, for the most part. I know people that live independently at 17 years of age. The brain doesn't even fully mature until 25 years of age. So by that logic, a 23 year old is a "baby". As I said, you're too used to what you've been surrounded by. The people that others want to be with really doesn't need to concern you or me, as long as it's consensual and they're of age legally.
@@billbertboyce324 no i dont know how old you are but anyone over 20 can see that most 17 year olds are not mature. It is insane for someone who finished university over half a decade ago can be with someone still in highschool
@@Mooodyyhhh that's purely down to personal opinion. You simply perceive it that way. Others disagree. Such as me and many others. The west isn't the world. And there are many 17 year olds on this planet. Maybe the ones in the US aren't mature. I've seen many fully grown adults in the US that are certainly not mature. But there are many 17 year olds around the world that develop maturity at younger ages. And they become more mature at 17 years of age. Nobody is _completely_ mature, but 17 year olds are certainly not like 15 year olds.

It is a lovely town. My family is from there. It sits directly on the border of Texas and Arkansas, and there's a post office on State Line Ave. I talked with my dad's mother about the phantom killer quite a few times. She was a child then. After the people were shot in their homes, she remembers putting blankets over all of their windows. I never did get to talk to my mom's mother about it; she would have been a young adult at the time and I don't know why I never asked.
"It's like we're both making out."
This killed me. 😂
Dude same, I have a kinda dirty mind so I almost laughed to death XD

Wheezing
That was in the 1940s so I assume that the girl was wearing the type of high heels that has a strap (or 2 straps sometimes) that was the popular mass produced shoe of the time, taking off the shoes would have taken time that’s why she had to run with them ,
I’ve watched this episode sooo long ago but there are still people asking why she was running with heels on, you can look for some shoes catalogs in the 40s online and you’ll get what I mean .
Heels werent even that tall back then so running in them arent hard. Idk why she struggled to run in them
@@badlandsghost They aren't that high..but not everyone can run in them. My mom would struggle to even stand in heels that high! You may pull off a walk but if you aren't used to running in them your balance might not be the best making you slower.
@@testerwulf3357 it depends on how your feet fall naturally i think. I had no problem running in small heels when i was 10, but my feet are flat so who knows
No matter how high the heel or how difficult it was to take off, in that situation with fear and adrenaline mixed, her shoes were probably the last think she was thinking off when a psycho gave her a small window to escape
THANK YOU! Also, since she was a teenager, its its likely the high heels were pretty low, like booties today kind of.
Are we not gonna talk about the Texas and Arkansas border town being named Texarkana??
you know this is making me feel real good and safe about being single

"these killings were done by someone among us.." Wow this man predicted the future game.
Guy leaving a suicide note "It was me. i killed those people" plus has connections to all the victims
cops "nOt EnOuGh EvIdEnCe"
@U K unless she was given the information by the cops during questioning. I personally feel it was the old dude, and his murder was a reprisal. OR someone high up was doing the crimes, and his death was to throw off the scent. Same with multiple witnesses.
It's actually pretty common for people to make false confessions for a variety of reasons. It's actually quite strange how many false death bed confessions that have been made, I guess they're scared of being forgotten? I'm always amazed by false confessions and false eyewitness testimony
Amy Messerschmidt woah thats so weird😨
unproven connections, and history of mental illness = probably not the killer
It isnt. You know what circumstantial means? You know the Green River Killer? He killed a lot of people and coincidentally, a taxi driver had connections to 5 of the victims so he was very suspicious despite later being proved innocent

There’s a good portion of serial killers that targeted teenagers. Zodiac being one of the biggest. All were killed at Lover’s Lanes, which were often in secluded areas at night (usually about this time sexual activity occured, and they’re teenagers, so of course they would take it somewhere secluded) They were vulerable, making the best targets for serial killers at the time. Poor kids should have thought deeper into their choices. And fun fact, alot of the lover’s lanes had changed names or had their names removed due to that reason.
@@boombox_1337 he is not the biggest he is just famous but there are many serial killers that killed over 100 people
me: wow! unsolved's budget is really getting up there! everything looks great!

EHEKSBSSKSB THANK YOU FOR THIS COMMENT
Lol they were imitating a cut out mask, but I guess they could’ve done better #postmortem
I'm a fan of your show, lol Buzzfeed I liked how you discussed and solved or unsolved mysteries story. You guys make it really
fun to listen and watched your videos. Keep up the work.
Shane and ryan must be protected at all costs... they're precious 😂
Me: I've lived in Texarkana all my life its not THAT violent
Also me: *sees random blood stain on sidewalk* HMM
Hey same
Straightboolin- Please remove this, you don’t want to give anyone your information.
Vineworthy yeah, uh, there’s this person living in Texarkana, their name is Straightboolin.
DoomBound I would also like to be apart of the Texarkana club
I’ve lived in Texas all my life and I’ve never been there lol we are too big
is no one else concerned that a 29 year old was even in a lovers lane with a 17 year old....? just a thought....
Molly Beth I was looking for someone else to comment on that!
LMAO im trying to ignore their ages cause you know people get all defensive for no reason but im with ya girl
Molly Beth it’s the 40s so creepy age gaps were normal
Exactly what I thought immediately!! I was looking for this comment!!
yeah I think it was just the times.
I really don't know why I keep watching these. I just get terrified every time, yet I keep clicking.
The fact that the main suspects for torso killer and the phantom killer have the same last names is quite eerie.
19:49 maybe putting him in solitary confinement would've helped extract a confession
yeah, could have kept him there for 728 days, that'll work.
curvae nah, 741 days would work better
Hahahaha, I was thinking the same exact thing.
800 days in solitary will force a false confession. 🤣🤣 or maybe just not quite as much truth serum where he passed out cold.
HAHAHAHQHQ
Why do we keep giving serial killers cool names!? Like Jack the Ripper, and the Zodiac Killer. Those are cool! Why not give them names like Jimmy the Poophead, or Mary Shitleg.
bruh exactly, although Jack the ripper and BTK gave themselves their nicknames
scarlett ! and the zodiac
The dickwad noodlearms killer
"Mary Shitleg"
Mary Shitleg absolutely killed me.
21:38 among us
Awww the way Shane talked about Obi was so sweet!

Ryan said “among us” at the end lol
21:38 there is an imposter among us
i always get the impression that the mannequin gets closer every time it shows up on camera and thats scarier than any episode of unsolved
Lucie Ribeiro I hate that thing so much
@@novawinchester3821 HATE it!! I freaking hate that mannequin. WHY BUN?!
I don't know if people noticed, but in previous season, it did move it's head from facing forward to left, right at the camera. Happened in season 3, maybe? (Don't remember. Only thing I remember was I almost wet my pants for watching the video on midnight). How that thing moved on its own will remain unsolved....

I live in Texarkana and the the grim hotel (now the grim apartments) is actually a huge hotspot for paranormal activity
#postmortem i absolutely CANNOT believe shane let the fact that this guy is named DOODIE go
😂
Right? Not a peep!!! it had me rolling!
Right? I laughed so hard when it said doodie
Hahahahah, right
maybe because he killed himslef idkkk lmao not like shane tho
are we just gonna ignore the fact that there was a 29 year old male and 17 year old female canoodling together o.o
It was a lot more normal for larger age gaps back in those days
canoodling?
Wait till you see what the Egyptians did
My dad was 21 when he met my mom, she was 16, and that was in the 80s
Maybe because the age of consent is different depending on the state? Still creepy.

"i don't know how skulls really work"
I'd like to propose a fascinating new theory: what if Virgil Starks was the Phantom Killer? Here's my line of thinking:
It was observed by the investigators on the scene that none of the details matched those of the previous killings, and it's to this day undetermined whether or not there's a connection. What if a resident of Texarkana, likely a friend or family member of a previous victim, conducted their own investigation? They were led to Virgil and, grieving and u trusting of law enforcement, decided to take matters into their own hands.
They staked out the house, and learned Virgil's schedule. They saw their opportunity when he sat in a chair by his window, and took the shot, killing him immediately. Unsure of her role in the affair, the shooter also attacked Virgil's wife when she interfered.
It would explain why the circumstances of this attack were so different, as well as why the killing stopped immediately afterwards
maybe he wore a mask bc he was insecure about his murder skills
clearly he had reason to be, people were shot in the face and still survived
Lucy your saying a killer has low self esteem?
*I buy it*
Maybe he was insecure abut his acne
@@mushymuffin8118 that's where he gets his phantom cred

Noooooooo
me, trying to ignore the multiple couples consisting of a 18 year old girl and nearly 30 year old man: 🙃
Grace Taylor age gap didn’t exist back then. Also she’s an adult so it’s fine
You're an adult at 18, even if the age gap is very wide, but I get how it feels weird because I don't look at anyone younger than me, especially if they're younger than 21. But at the same time, I don't think it's the worst. If they were 17 or younger- 🚓🚓🚓🚓🚓🚓
Grace Taylor OH MY GAWD FACTS
Kalina Gittens no, pointless remark based on how things are in this society rather than they were then. Facts.
novisty It was still nasty and pathetic on the part of the guy in his 30s. Ewww
