Mary Myatovich, the first woman victim, is my stepdad's sister. I spent my teen years growing up on New Cedar Lane. Teens did a lot of carousing at Duck Island at that time. My stepdad didn't talk about the murder much. He was just a baby when the murder occurred. The family lived at Jeremiah Ave., not far at all from Duck Island.
Thanks for watching and sharing your story. That's interesting to know some family still live in the area. Just a really crazy story!
Great job
Thanks, I appreciate it and I hope you enjoyed!
I grew up in Hamilton Township and didn't know about these murders until now. Heck, I could see the smokestacks from the Duck Island power plant from our old house, and later lived one block over from Cypress Lane.
I always heard about the Duck Island Murders but there was never anything to read or watch about until tonight. Thank you for making this video.
Thanks so much for watching! I'm glad I could fill the Duck Island Murder gap!
Sorry from you Mickey keep them coming
I heard about this from relatives of Myatovich, which are many family friends. It was hard to believe things like that happened back in those days.
Thanks for watching. A real horrible story.
Hell I still live around there
Excellent video! I had not heard about this story at all, but now i feel well informed!
Thanks so much for watching and the kind words!
Im so glad you posted this! I work in trenton and have always wondered wtf duck island is. It looks to be a plant of some kind now...
I'm glad you enjoyed!
Thanks Mick. I think you've really enhanced your videos with the drone footage. Thanks for the research. I'm in and around Hamilton but didn't know anything about this. Pretty tragic.
Thanks for always sticking in there and watching and thanks for the positive words. Yeah, I have spent a lot of my life in Hamilton and I never heard of this story ever. It's just amazing that it happened right here. Thanks again!
great stuff just want more from you.. kudos..
I really appreciate it! I'm trying to keep them coming!
My father was on the Trenton Police force during the 50s. I had heard him mention this case a few times. I read somewhere that Hill molested some girls who were in his Sunday School classes.
Thanks for checking this out! Yeah, I think I came across that somewhere but I can't remember at this point. I wonder if your father would remember anything about the Trenton 6 case. I did a video on that as well.
@@TheMickeyShuffle unfortunately My father is Deceased.
This killer was a relative of my mother. Clarence bill was her brother Rosa Lee hill’s uncle, who was also not a nice man either Crazy.
Oh wow!
Excellent mini-docu.
Thanks so much , Deb!
Also known as the Sturgie area. We use to go there to collect punks (cattails). I'd always come back with poison ivy every summer. BTW, as a kid I never thought of it as creepy. Was always an adventure going down there.
I could totally see if you had no idea about murders or whatever else, how it would seem like an awesome place to go!
Hell yea i grew up on those trails on duck island gets creepy sometimes
Still creepy!
I remember when the whale got stranded in the Delaware of duck Island
Did not know this about Duck Island. Back in High School my girlfriend and I use to park back there but in the late 70's . She lived in South Trenton so it was so close but yet so far. Would have found a different spot had we known about this. I have been checking out your videos and good to see some Hamilton and New Jersey content. Funny I now live a few miles from Gravity Hill.
Hi Jim, thanks so much for subscribing and watching! Yeah, Duck Island seems a lot creepier when you know that story!
That area is so creepy, I've worked down there in the area and Robeling/Spring lake area. It's crazy how many people have died around there from accidents or murder. Not really as safe as it claims to be.
The more I hear about that place, it's not just these murders but a bunch of other ones too! Thanks for watching!
@@TheMickeyShuffle i lived in Trenton and Hamilton my whole life bouncing back and forth.i spent so much time as a kid to adult down white city lake which is part of duck island you can walk trails to each other.few years ago a friend of mine was dumped in the woods of the lake very sad shit.i know them woods like the back of my hand and there are some real creepy ass spots down in those woods.never knew about the duck island murders tho so thank you for that but i have heard about others ones and dozens of things that have gone on there.still to this day i take walks around there but always on alert that's for damn sure lol
@@cruedust White City Lake, Wow. Now there's a throw back. As kids we would go down what we use to call the Sturgie. Small lake/pond. Supposedly they had Sturgeon is where the name came from. We use to walk along the railroad tracks and cemetery off lalor street to get there. The opposite side of the tracks was the 6-11 little league field and a babe Ruth field. Also, the shit pond (as we use to call it) was there. Water filtration plant. One time we found our way from the Sturgie all the way to White City Lake. I felt like Christopher Columbus making a new discovery. We didn't have electronic gadgets back then so we had all our fun outside.
@@tomw9599 oh yes mother sturg lol wow
@@TheMickeyShuffle don't let the murders be all it's was or is.there is good history there also.back in tbe day the lake had a small amusement park down by the lake with white city mansion over looking it with cement steps that went from lake to the mansion which is actually still there.had great times at that lake.
NEW SUB,, FROM TRENTON, NJ THANKS
Thanks so much! Really appreciate it!
I was born and raised in New Jersey and after joining up with the Air Force my first assignment was right back home at McGuire. I've always been fascinated by history and even majored in it in college. Although I loved NJ history I'd never heard of this case or the Trenton Six. The only case people were interested in was the Lindberg kidnapping. Thanks for bringing these historic cases to life. I appreciate all your content. If you're ever in Orlando give me a buzz AsBobSeesItVideos@yahoo.com. Now that I have re-subscribed (UA-cam dropped me) maybe I can get caught up on your excellent videos. Thanks again.
Hey Bob, sorry I missed this comment! Thanks again for watching! Heck yeah, I'll look you up if I get down there. Maybe you can give me the scoop on some good spots down there!
Crazy, never know about these murders and lived in Trenton area my whole life. Even had some back seat action on Duck Island back in the 80's, that is until I finally got tired of the police interrupting. I suppose I was lucky it was just the police.
Hahaha...I think you got off easy lol Thanks for watching!
Subscribed, hoping a local will be UA-cam famous
Hahaha...thank you very much:)
Awesome video
Thanks man...appreciate it!
From the neighborhood and can confirm duck islands spooky as shit
Did they go into why he did it???
Not that I could recall or maybe I missed it. It's been awhile. Thanks for watching!
My aunt was a victim of this murders. I don’t believe Hill was the murder. We have our reasons why. We believe that’s why he didn’t get a long sentence. He didn’t serve. life sentence. And not to mention the jury wasn’t 100% positive he was the assailant. Were in the stages of writing the story.
I'm truly sorry for your loss. I certainly agree that there are several things about the conviction that are odd and I have no doubt there were many things withheld. Good luck with everything and thank you so much for taking the time to watch this!
The Mickey Shuffle
it’s not easy trying to put the story together. We have an ideanof what may have happened, but not positive. We know one of the other victims as well. I must confess, in my heart of hearts I feel Hill was railroaded. If that’s true, we would love to let his family know this and clear Hill’s name. Thanks for bringing the story to light once again.
@@satisfyingwhiteboarddrawin4587 I can agree first hand that this story is not easy to put together. From some basic details it looks like it's easy but there are other attacks as well in PA that I didn't have time to mention. I wish you all the best in your efforts and if I can ever be of assistance, please reach out!
An African American assassin on Caucasians couples is quite odd for this era...just my initial thought but happy I read your comment.
