  • DESCRIPTION
    In February 1960, the city of Manchester, New Hampshire, was rocked by the violent murder of teenager Sandra Valade. Three years later, another teenager, Pamela Mason, was killed in the same manner. A quiet housewife named Rena Paquette confided to police that she knew who murdered the two teens. Just days after coming forward, she was found dead under mysterious circumstances by her son, Danny Paquette.

    So, Melanie got Eric to end her stepfather's life on unverified statements of abuse and she threw him under the bus at the first chance? Nice!

    Seriously..some random person phones to ask your child to babysit .. laughs when you ask his name ..you don't ask for the address or phone number.. tell your child only go If the wife picks her up ... ?
    Sadly what was Pamela mother thinking?
    Though my heart breaks for the loss of her daughter ... 8 just don't understand her thought process 😢😢

      Human trafficking isn't understood by lots of people who can't fathom it. A TON of mothers trafficking their kids. But we pretend males are the scary ones. Mostly because the pedos in law enforcement protect the shit out of the "mothers" who produce more victims.

      I agree. And while it may have been a different time then, one of great trust and perhaps naivety, basic human instinct still existed. Although Pamela's mother seemed a bit too unconcerned to our modern minds, her suspicions were raised enough for her to ask that Pamela only leave for the babysitting job with a woman. She knew something felt off. Was that protection enough? Obviously not. And no doubt, Pamela's mother lived with guilt all her days thereafter.

      ​@4beeftacos2am not true. I've got a YT premium account and still get several minutes of ads. It's infuriating to have to stop to forward wind. Or else I let them play and go and do something useful. I get why they're there but it does detract from the seriousness and flow of the cases.

    I don’t understand the point of the beginning of this story about the two girls who were murdered. Rena’s death sort of blown off….also, troublesome as always that people will condemn another person on accusations never proved (Melanie’s about Danny abusing her), never reported…they may well have been true, but still, disturbing to realize how many people are ready to take justice into their own hands and fully support someone who does. At the same time, I’ll admit there are cases where multiple people are victims if one man’s viciousness, tins if evidence, but the guy keeps getting away with it….and it seems time for citizens to take their own action to stop the person. Life is complicated, one can see competing sides of a situation, boundaries get blurred. Life gets messy.

    • @clasmath
      @clasmath Рік тому +6

      because Ed Coolige was suspected of also murdering Rena? And so they added the context of why by providing the fact he did murder two other women. Don't see how that was hard to grasp.

    • @Loralanthalas

      Yep. Wjen it comes to murder caeses everyone ever murdered was a wonderful person that will be missed. No asshole has EVER been murdered. And no one ever lies on the stand. Certainly no kne has EVER lied to protect family members. Its so fucking annoying.
      And even knowing we have over 8% on death row retried and set free as innocent there are ALWAYS comments where somone WANTS to kill the alledged murder because somehow that will help ALL the murdering in general.
