The fact that her husband knew this was going on and did NOTHING....he should be just as accountable.
Hearing about her abuse made me sick. Linda as a nurse is supposed to help and heal but instead she tortured and killed. I'm glad Peggy got justice finally
she worked in prison. Many sadistic people choose to work in prison.
I will make the bold assumptions that Linda took Peggy in *because* she saw she had an intellectual disability, and knew she would be easy to victimize. I think we can also safely assume this is not an isolated event of abuse, and she may have abused other patients.
This case is so sad.Peggy deserved much better. The state she was found in was horrific.I don't understand how Linda(?) was capable of doing this. She's just evil. I'm happy Peggy was given her name back tho.
But thank you for your hard work this year Rachel. Happy holidays and happy New Year!
It's amazing how you have all of this information without ever even looking at notes incredible!
You do just a detailed and personal story of the victims!
The fact that Linda made Peggy sleep in the crawl space beneath the house makes me feel that Linda is just a cruel woman who had an opportunity to abuse a young woman who she perceived as weaker and who wouldn't stand up to her or fight back or report her... Linda took full advantage of a woman who needed specialist support and care... The husband probably didn't intervene because he didn't want to deal with the outcome - he divorced her, so he wasn't scared of her... And the kids were understandably afraid of their mother and worried that it they spoke up they'd be next... However, I don't understand why no one asked Linda what happened to Peggy... I love that you use your platform to encourage people to speak up and advocate for victims 💜💜💜💜💜💜
it's so cool to see some of the biggest Jane and John Doe cases that have been called for years finally being solved and to see the real faces behind these people it's sad to hear the stories as well but at least there's an end to the story and a name to be put on the tombstone instead of just Jane Doe
The husband should be charged as an accomplice. He knew exactly what was going on.
I was being abused by my foster mom everytime my foster father left she would have us kneeling on rice for hours and as soon as she heard my pop car drive up in the drive way she would send us to our room I had bruises all over my body but not my face, she didn't want people to see the Mark's but my friends knew at school. When I turned 18 I cursed my mom out and my pop came at my neck I told him he knows nothing because he was never around he worked 3 jobs so he didn't know he always spoiled us he never put his hands on us and when I told him everything he's didnt wasn't to believe it
What a horrible person. I wonder if the whole family abused her.
I wonder that too
Due to the amount of abuse and the variety of the abuse, it is clear to me that Linda was not the only one responsible. Common sense, and precedent from other similar cases, tells me that everyone in that house, including the children, likely participated in the abuse.
So heartbreaking that Peggy was probably so confused as to why someone would keep hurting her & she couldn’t even defend herself. So much pain over such a very long time. I hope she is at peace now & in the arms of her loving mother & brother
That is so 😭 torturing our most innocent.. You have to be sociopathic to do this to someone who's developmentally delayed/ cognitively impaired..This woman was a nurse and didn't take even take proper care of Peggy's wounds she inflicted on her just pure evil..
This is so horrific. It’s sad how many people knew that Peggy was being abused and didn’t help her. Obviously Linda is the one at fault for her actions but this is definitely a good reminder that if you see something, say something. 💔 Props to the person who reported her!
But once they hear that same person is missing they are the first ones to go searching,leading the group,Michelle killed her two children and put their corpse inside freezer for years,nobody asked about those two children but they were first to testify in court
I suspect the husband was involved as well in what happened with Peggy.
sorry to be the grim reaper here (old woman here w/over 200 yrs of life experience under her belt and now HEAVILY targeted like nobody you'll EVER meet), but, these people are every day average 'good people', no real conscience whatsoever, average and common liars, thieves, murderers, which ABOUND on this earth realm, here. The nurse (nurses are the worst) had an opportunity, and being an average opportunist, she became frustyrated and angry when her expectations werent met - they take everything personally, you see. No love is ever lost amongst such everyday people, and so, husband and wife living together should be expected, taken in stride, understand. ....It took me a LIFETIME to understand this world for what it IS, and so, i understand your perplexity about 'how this could happen and the lack of consciences involved'...i do get it. 💕 ps: it takes knowing Gods word, loving His word, praying in the holy spirit unceasingly, to grow in true understanding - spiritual understanding - and when you might take this road, you will suffer, here. Once the devil and his minions know who YOU are, they go after you - they're all joined at the hip now, too - freemasons, knights, cia, service groups, etc etc..secret societies - especially NOW in these depop/reset times, they are all joined at the hip and aim to ruin those who love truth and facts and GOD. phew, nuff said!💕🙄
Ah, if she's living in the crawl space, I don't think she's bringing a slew of boys home. (Unless Linda was pimping her out 😦.)
Linda is a power control sadist. What a disgusting person.
There was also a case like this in the UK.
And in Australia
I live in racine. I’m 22 and have been following this case since I was 11. The people of Raymond have been haunted by this as long as I can remember. It’s amazing that people like you can get the case out there and educate. Please keep doing what your doing and never stop!
I live in Racine too and this is a interesting case
I can't even imagine going through the torture she went through it's disturbing to know that there are a lot of people who can't imagine it either and yet find themselves in these situations
Her headstone says "Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure", I started tearing up when i read that. She seemed like such a wonderful person.
I found it interesting that this case finally solved because Linda ran her mouth about killing someone smh
Literally! I thought about that
I’m typically a silent watcher, but I couldn’t help but notice how amazing your hair looks!
Omg you’re so sweet!
Thank you for covering this. It's heartbreaking, but I'm glad she finally has her name back.
I think you give Linda too much credit. I think she wanted a slave basically to work for her, without pay and for someone to kick around and abuse, plain and simple. Then she got tired of her, killed her and dumped her in a ditch somewhere. It's such a sad case. Peggy looked like a lovely girl. Basically, what I'm saying is - you can't expect someone without a conscience to suddenly develop compassion for Peggy, it was never there to begin with. I believe some folks are non-reformable and just plain evil.
💯agree hun,I believe she took Peggy in knowing and planning to use and abuse her,to the outside she probably thought she looked like a great person when in fact she is a monster.I’m so glad Peggy got her name back and I hope Linda is punished to the full extent of the law,imo the death penalty is what she inflicted on a beautiful young disabled girl so that’s what she should get back,she had no regard for peggys life or dignity and let her be buried with out a name.sending 💖and🙏from🇬🇧that justice is served.rip Peggy angel 😞
I waited so long for this woman to be identified. And now I dread that there won't be nearly enough justice for all the people who did this to her.
Me to. I pray she gets the justice deserved
As a Racine native, thank you for covering this case 🖤
Some people’s actions and morals just do not match up with their profession (the same way some health majors act selfishly in this pandemic 🤦🏻♀️). That nurse clearly took advantage of Peggy and her cognitive disorder.
Denial is a complex issue apparently, for some people. I dont understand any of this at all. Thankyou for this, and your voice is so much better.
This is just so horrific. Honestly it was hard to listen to her all her traumas. Poor girl. I will never ever ever understand how some people are so evil and so abusive. Makes me sick to my stomach and makes my heart break when I hear things like this. RIP sweetheart. You will never have to know the evil of this world again.
It's obvious that Linda never gave a damn about Peggy I don't understand why she even brought this girl into her home in the first place if this is how she was going to treat her
This was likely all about money that Peggy was receiving. Do you all notice the nurse was caring for populations that have little to no voice or "value" to society, a person with a developmental disability, as well as prison population. Why should anyone complain, it might mean that more will be expected of them. I agree the husband has some level of culpability. This poor woman should have had a case worker (why didn't the school get involved after the death of her mother? I'm sure they had to be aware of her cognitive disability, as well as her lack of skills in self-care and independence?).
I’m speechless 😢
I hope her charges are upgraded to torture simply because the physical injuries from the constant abuse showed signs of healing. The burning beer with acid, road rash, this woman enjoyed this, no one just thinks up different ways to hurt a vulnerable person such as Peggy without malice. I also think her H should be charged with being complicit for letting this happen in his home, the poor woman died of infections that had gone to the sepsis stage!!
Just a question, how do the experts know she suffered a physical cognitive disability postmortem?
Dang spellcheck beer=her
All in all it doesn’t matter what Peggy was doing. Linda took her into her home willingly and should have either took care of her properly and if she couldn’t she should have found her somewhere else to go. Poor Peggy, I’m glad she got her name back, May she forever RIP.
Aww 😭 I have been so saddened by this poor girl's murder the excruciating pain she suffered..Now, I know she suffered more than I imagined long term verbal, emotional, and physical abuse..I hope this sociopathic woman received the Maximum Sentence the Law allows..I always assumed some man abducted this poor girl held her captive and tortured her but a Sociopathic woman did this to Peggy..
How was the husband not charged with anything? He saw what was going on and didn’t do a damn thing. I wonder if he abusedPeggy too. RIP Peggy 💜
When you realize you live 10mins away from where they found this poor woman. 😳
You have a really well speaking voice, you would be great working as a news reporter !
This one is so horrible, all the brutality she endured. So sad. I'm glad she got her identity back.
I am too ❤️
Your make up is on point! As well as you talking about this case!
Reminds in a way of the Sylvia Likens case.
Thanks for your thoughtful and respectful video.
I want to start off by saying at least this one was solved
I 100 percent agree with you about the husband not saying something or putting a stop to it when he had the chance
Wow her real picture and her sketch look exactly alike. Thank god it's solved. Will you do the case of Natasha Boykins her case is "solved" but evidence points to homicide but police will not look into it's ruled a suicide even tho she was shot twice and then after she supposedly shot herself twice she supposedly redresses herself. Please do her case and thanks if you do.
Ugh cases like that are so frustrating. Yes I will add her name to my list and look into her story
@@RachelShannon thank you, you can look at true crime daily on youtube to get some info on the case as well.
Cant believe how a human being can be so mean and do so awful things to another human being, Poor girl 😞
Your hair looks so pretty with the big retro waves! It’s gorgeous! And parted in the side makes such a difference! It’s beautiful parted to the side
I just discovered you through Joshua Miles. You’re content is excellent and I look forward to watching all of yours.
I love how you also cover cases near my area. And others too. But I really enjoy the local ones
Nice how the family said absolutely nothing! What the heck, so many people failed peggy, theyre guilty as well just for watching and doing nothing, they should have at least been prosecuted for something.
So the husband walks in on peggy passed out due to an overdose then she never comes back and he doesn't find this weired?
My thoughts exactly
Your voice is so so sooooo soothing 🥺 it makes me so happy & relaxed ❤️ happy New Years everyone ✨🎉
Happy New Years to you too!
It's very soft
Total side note but I found your channel a few weeks ago & I couldn't even focus bc your voice sounded SO familiar! I spent the whole day trying to figure it out & it's Kristen from BGC6 lol
Hiya! Im a new subscriber from Australia 🇦🇺 So awesome to see a great new channel for me! Thank you for telling the victims story. I am an Australian Federal Police Agent forensic psychologist that works with the families of the victims so thankyou x
Theory as why the husband didn't speak up was perhaps he was being abused as well. It's not as common but still possible.
I just randomly ran across this video. I am alone with my dog and I kid you not ten seconds into this video I turned to my dog and said “I like her!” Subscribed!
Your videos are always so well done Rachel! Thank you for spreading awareness & putting in so much time & work into each one of your videos & for always being so respectful to the victim's & their families! You're one of my absolute favorite people! ily💗
Need more of Jane Doe cases (Solved)
Linda couldn't be any more evil. She had zero obligation towards Peggy. It is true that Peggy might have been difficult to live with and work with, I have worked with adults with developmental disabilities and behavioral problems in a group home setting. Those cases were extreme, but still, with the right training even those cases are manageable. All Linda had to do is drop her off at social services, a police station, or just call any public service for advice for how to help this homeless young woman. I don't like the use of the word "punishment" for the severe physical abuse (that ended in murder) when reacting to unwanted behaviors...ever...but especially in an adult with cognitive disabilities. I don't know if it's just me but the word makes me think that it could have been deserved. She basically tortured her and must have enjoyed it, what an evil, sadistic monster of a woman. It's so tragic that Peggy was unable to realize what an abusive situation she was in :'( . Thank you for sharing her story, she was obviously such a beautiful soul that she didn't even recognize the evil in Linda.
This is one of the most horrific cases of trauma to a body I’ve ever heard in a case. Not the most horrific, but it’s up there in the top 5. It kills me to know that it was something she had to endure over long periods of time. Long enough for the wounds to be in different stages of healing. So sad.
My father never pertected my twin and I from my mother for 18 years. He believed her until she was caught. Mother has happen to her or him. My father is now 83 and mother 81. We were lucky to survive. I lost my twin in 1987. At 27. Years old. We both head learning disabilities. My life is all missed up. Great that they caught the murderer. Put her in a cell treat her the same way. She didn't treat her own child that way. If she did then. She could of been abused her self but she didn't treat her own children that way just her helpers. Treat her the same way just don't let her die
Wow this young lady didn’t deserve to be treated like this, and I’m trying to picture in my mind , Linda telling her husband to take the kids out for ice cream while I torture and beat our house keeper who is helpless and in need of care, smh people in this world are so cruel.
If I remember correctly I believe that Linda actually remarried so the husband that she was married to when all of this was discovered was not the husband she had when it actually happened. I believed Her new husband said he had no idea.
Oh I can believe her husband had no idea. I've met someone very evil and they wear a mask even the husband hasn't a clue. This person I knew I found out she use to abuse her husbands elderly aunt who had dementia. I was unfortunately involved with the evil woman son
I’m still totally confused. Linda has 5 kids. How about them?
@@LiquidShivaz I completely agree! And either way I do feel like the original husband is at fault as well. I was just clarifying because the way this is worded makes it sound like her new husband was the one (when it was actually the original husband) and accusations like that can really mess up someone’s life.
@@faizaali6265 that’s so disgusting and disturbing 😖
Oooh I didn’t realize that. I wasn’t sure that this was a new person she was married to thank you for clearing it up
I worked with disabled teens and adults for 8 years. It was with in a school.setting. it was the best yrs of my life!
Poor Peggy😕
We are responsible for each other, look out for your relatives especially when they're alone and in need, don't forget about them and your friends.
The autopsy did put that reconstruction way young though, despite malnutrition typically leaving you appear younger than you actually are.
My thought when hearing she had a grandmother. No matter how little you have. If your grandchild that just lost their mother and is just 18, cognitive disability or not, you take that child. Even if you dirt poor. I would not eat and share my only bed to be with her.
Having grown up in SE Wisconsin it was common knowledge that the Racine/Kenosha area was a dumping ground for people who were murdered in Illinois due to Wi not having a death penalty. The fact that she was dumped there indicates that she was murdered.
She was so beautiful. ❤️💔🕊️
It takes a lot of beatings to cause Cauliflower ear.. Floyd Mayweather Jr. doesn’t even have it and he has boxed everyday for decades. I can’t imagine the torture this young woman endured.
Second comment just on time while I eat my hamburger with my coca cola 😋😍❤️💖
Your isotobes identify you live near a McDonald's? 😉 I guess in a way we are all literally what we eat. That is fascinating I think.
Linda sounds like a horrible monster. I wouldn't count on anything that this woman said as being true. The physical abuse was too continuous. You do not get cauliflower ear from being punched in the ear once. She used Peggy as her private punching bag. Poor girl!
How sad. Thank you for covering this.
This is the first case I’ve watched you cover, and safe to say it’s the last. The amount of victim blaming and gaslighting here is insane. I have been working with people with disabilities my entire adult life and here are some things I think you’ve missed in your classes:
1. Cognitive disabilities don’t automatically cause behavioral issues. If she was a mainstream high school student in the 90s, then she was very high functioning without behavioral concerns.
2. IT IS NOT OKAY TO HURT A DISABLED PERSON IF THEY ARE OVERSTIMULATED. That’s not “understandable”, that’s evil. You walk away, you call someone. You don’t beat and burn them.
3. She wasn’t “being cared for”, she was hired and paid with room and board. If there was an issue, fire her and kick her out. Every instance of abuse was a choice. Maybe don’t act like hiring a disabled person is some sort of Godly act?
Has since been tried, convicted, and sentenced to life with possibility of parole after 20 years. So glad.
So terrible rest in JESUS Queen wow she was around evil ppl n her husband is just as sick n his wife 😥
Hey, in defense of Mr. LaRoche (a long-time family friend of mine, which is why I won’t use his full name) I just want to clarify that Linda was married to Robert Johnson when this happened (that’s who she has kids with).
Linda didn’t even meet Mr. LaRoche (who is the blurred out face in all those recent photos you used) until several years after the murder. By that time, she already had a newly constructed, large log-cabin on a horse farm in IL, ran a successful business, and seemed like a church-going, animal-loving, do-gooder. Mr. LaRoche had been a single father through the 80s & 90s and had one adult daughter, so we were happy for him when he found her. I only met Linda once, in 2006, when I was 23! I thought she was a little tacky & eccentric, but seemed bubbly & warm as a host. It’s a hard memory to reconcile with what we know now.
Some years later, they moved to FL and that’s when her drinking got bad. Mr. LaRoche has been sober for over 30yrs, so we knew that was taking a toll on their marriage. But yes, he WAS COMPLETELY SHOCKED when all of this came out. And even though they were already in the process of getting divorced for other reasons, this has tarnished his family’s name because media reports never refer to her as Linda Johnson, probably because the coincidence of her sharing a last name with Peggy is so confusing.
We are all so relieved that Linda is locked up for life, so Mr. LaRoche & his daughter can begin to heal.
How sad!!! Why didn't Lindas family/ ex husband report this woman and the abuse?? So sad for peggy.
My heart goes out to Peggy. 💖💕
So the whole family noticed what Linda was doing but did nothing? They are just as guilty as Linda. Why weren’t they charged ???
😡🤬😡
this case is truly heart breaking, poor peggy! i was also wondering if you could you please do the missing case of Zac Barnes? it hits close to home for me and there’s not much coverage on his case on youtube.
she took in an adult and forced her to sleep under the crawlspace and slapped her around and hit and punished her harshly. She took someone in whom she could do all those things to. That woman purposefully took someone who has cognitive disabilities, she didn't get tired of her behavioural issues, she sought her out because she knew she could control her, knew she could horribly abuse her and nobody would care and Peggy wasn't able to defend herself.
Notification squad ❤️
Love that ❤️
I think the husband and the adult children should be investigated. They likely knew a lot, and did nothing to help. Shame on them.
Thanks so much for uploading! Wishing you a happy (almost) new year!
Back at you!
This is so creepy cause I live in Elgin, Illinois. I know exactly where McHenry, IL is and it isn’t too far from me actually. Maybe a 20-30 mins drive. My dad also lives in North Fort Myers, FL.
Hmm the state police should check to see if Linda’s patients were possibly abused and/or neglected too... However, I think Linda’s family might be more involved than they’re saying :(
I had no idea this had been solved. Wow, just wow.
The entire family is guilty. At least she is in jail. You are doing a great job. Thank you for helping.
I don't know why they thought those women's cases might be connected. Someone that suffers chronic abuse is also going to have bad teeth. They don't get medical attention. It's also not surprising that both women had cognitive issues. They are easy prey for monsters. And there's plenty of monsters behind closed doors in this world
Holy hell!!! Poor Peggy .
Linda was a colossal bully and saw an opportunity to use Peggy as a punching bag .
Rachel you look absolutely stunning! ❤️
💖✨💖✨💖If Peggy was behavioural Linda would have placed her in appropriate care?
Thank you for covering this case! I’m still disturbed by what this poor young girl went through after losing her whole family and no help from anyone despite her disability. There are so many like her that are abused/killed by their caretakers and yet they never get the attention they deserve. People like Peggy are so vulnerable and easily looked over. I’m glad Linda is where she needs to be but I’m very angry that so many witnesses including her husband did absolutely nothing!
Ive been following this forever! Crazy
I did not know she was identified until this video
there's another aspect you didn't mention there's a good chance that Peggy was on some kind of government assistance for a disability I have a feeling that the lady was using her to get to that government assistance which is why she took her in the first place she didn't care about her or her health that was evident but I guarantee if we look into it she was on some kind of assistance
I didn’t see anything about that, but it could be. I’m not sure though I feel like if she was on gov. assistance someone would have noticed who she was but I’m not sure
RIP Peggy 🦋
New subscriber!!
Thank you for all the hard work you do for these cases. Happy New Year to you 🥰🥰
Being a parent of 4 children with disabilities this sickens me. This nurse abused her and the husband watched this which is wrong. She could have done anything instead of hurting and killing her. X
Hi Rachel you did a video on a family member of mine, how can I contact you about it please? Thanks it's one of your older ones I just noticed it. So far Christina Randall is the only one we are ok with it being up I will fwd yours to the family in charge of wanting them down. You're s beautiful person I'm sure yours is nice
Yes for sure email me at rachelshannonyt@gmail.com and we can discuss there!
I like how we are so quick to assume the husband is in the wrong and not that he was being abused too.. I’ve seen men advised by their wives and they get pushed down so far they are afraid to even speak wrong.
Nobody would be blaming the wife of the situation was reversed. This kind of attitude is why men that are abused don’t talk. They just get blamed anyway.
this toutuber amazing , she give you the details that save in yr mind ,thanx alot ,you deserve 1M suscribe👏👏👏🌹
How did they know she had a cognitive disability?
I wondered too. I tried to find out why but couldn’t figure it out
It was repotted in the autopsy
Happy New Year y’all!! 🎊🥂🍾🎉❤️
Your hair looks great btw
Linda Laroach was sentenced about a week ago. Life without possibility of parole, plus five years for hiding Peggy’s body. Hope Linda gets what she gave while in prison, and hope she lives a loooooong life.
OMG. I can’t believe a nurse would treat someone so badly and think that it was ok. I am a nurse in Canada and I worked in Largo Florida from 1993 to May 1996. I can’t believe this case occurred so close by.
