THIS STORY:
William "Billy" Rouse was 15 when he shot his parents in the bedroom of their mansion.
The June 6, 1980 murder of Bruce and Darlene Rouse went unsolved until Rouse was picked up by Florida police last fall as a robbery suspect. He was living on a houseboat in Key West, having squandered his share of the million fortune his father made with a chain of gas stations. Rouse said he killed his parents after a confrontation with his mother over his drug use in which she threatened to send him to military school.
As his parents slept, Rouse crept into the bedroom with a shotgun and shot his mother point-blank, then turned the gun on his awakened father, clubbing and stabbing him as well.

The Angel face you see is the Haserot, named “The Angel of Death Victorious". The stoic angel is seated on the marble gravestone of canning entrepreneur Francis Haserot and his family. Holding an extinguished torch upside-down, it represents a symbol of life extinguished. Wings are outstretched and the gaze is straight ahead.
IN THE END, DEATH ALWAYS WINS. LEST THE FACES NOT BE FORGOTTEN...
This channel is focused on casually walking and viewing a handful of the thousands of forgotten names and faces at various cemeteries near and afar. Seeing their faces up close. And when able, telling the stories behind their names.
Most graves are unknown and lost to history.
Some are famous.
And some infamous....
....and some with tragic endings.
#Graves #Cemeteries #Death
As a child, I was raised near a cemetery. Our family had been there for generations. The graves of 3 children born to grandmother who died at birth were there.
Two of my childhood friends and I would spend days cleaning the graves of people. We never thought it was strange. I always felt comfort as we cleaned the graves. I never knew there were people like me who wanted to honor the people who came before me in this manner.
I still find comfort in visiting these graves. It's my trying to say you are not forgotten. Your passing through this earth had meaning.
I'm glad I found your channel. We never walked on the graves either. As respect for the people.
@@frankpaya690
I don't think we had any reason for not walking on the graves. It seemed disrespectful. These were the remains of real people. All these people had were their head stone and the land over their coffin. I still feel that way.
Anytime I had a bad day or a lot on my mind, I would drive to the cemetery, and walk around in the old section of the cemetery looking at gravestones and clean them off or just straighten a flag if needed. I've always found it to be a peaceful place to be when I needed alone time. Just me and my thoughts.🙂
everyones born near a cemetery
I was told as a young girl that if you stepped on a grave and didnt say sorry a ghost would follow you home. I'm now 46 and still say sorry xx
@@angelabird4794
I think that's a good idea.
Recent subscriber here....When I stumbled upon your channel, I hit gold! I thought I was alone in my fascination for cemeteries and stories such as these. When I am traveling, I often stop at cemeteries and read headstones and try to imagine their lives by the inscriptions, years lived, etc. I will pick up a fallen pot or straighten a flag like I've seen you do. You are a natural story teller. Keep up the good work and thank you.
Thank you that’s a very kind note.
I guess I’m weird but I love old cemeteries. They’re in some way so interesting. I really enjoy your Chanel, just found it today. Very interesting stories. 🌹🌹🌹🌹
You are not weird!
Welcome! You’re not weird at all, and if you are you’re in good company! Lol
I live for "weird". 😁
Nicole, I think they are interesting too.
Don't feel bad cuz I feel the same way about the older cemeteries, love the original handcarved engraving of the letters intricate designs.when people truly worked!!
My husband's little sister lived 2 days. Her grave at Holy Cross in Cal City is surrounded by babies from 1950's. She died from underdeveloped lungs. Born today she would have spent some time in NICU but would have been fine. A big majority of those babies would have lived 😞.
I'am so very sorry for your husband's and the family's loss.
The poor daughter. A very good young lady with care and values. she must have been devastated by the events, all the way to her tragic passing. ❤
I have learned that I should be careful with words I choose to say when I'm angry cuz later, those words always leave a huge wound of regrets in my ❤ besides hunting the love ones.😔 Those wounds can't be healed!💔👨👩👧👦 THANKS!😭
the truly sad thing to me is how few people think like you. Most people will say whatever they can to destroy you on a whim. And not even care.
Same here
I still hear my Moms voice laughing when she was telling her Friend (while pointing at me) "she was the only one who was planned, and look at how she turned out".
Several years later after she had broken her neck and was signed over to hospice by her favorite (my Sister), I fired hospice, brought her home and helped her get strong enough to live. I did complete care for her, she was a quadriplegic and could do nothing for herself. And she outlived my Dad. So yeah, look at how I turned out... I was the only one who fought for her to live, and took complete care of her. Thankfully I had been trained as a CNA and an EMT and had worked in the hospice industry so I knew what to do. We were definitely not close when I was growing up, but those last 5 years she actually got to see "how I turned out", while my other siblings only cared enough to come when she had surgery or was literally taking her last breaths. And oh, before her last birthday she told me she had never attended a hawaiian luau. So for her birthday I sat her patio up as a Hawaiian luau, and provided fresh fruit and drinks, played hawaiian music on a Jam box and decorated it all with Hawaiian decor and we watched the sun rise over the pond while I fed her breakfast.
I have no regrets with her and that's saying alot. But her words still haunt me and bring tears to my eyes some 30+years later.
The way you tell these stories let’s you get a clear vision of these stories. Man U do a great job .
What a horrifying story, sadly the parents reaped what they had sown. Ron, it's beyond me how you can tell an entire story, film every fascinating gravestone, never miss a step - all the while having my undivided attention 🎈
Parents didn’t deserve to be blown to pieces with a shotgun
@@coffee4dayz19k4 I didn't say that...

Fascinating story, yet heartbreaking at the same time.
So very sad and tragic.
Who could ever imagine being murdered by the very one you gave life to?
But these type of murders have been happening since recorded history.
Cain and Able brother killing brother. Right off the Bat
There is a song called " Right in two" by "Tool" ( Highly recommend listening) and its about man kinds ability to take a good thing and destroy it.
Evil POS ways hell bound
What a tragic story. I am glad this "kid" got caught, even if it took all those years to happen. It's sad that their daughter died young as well.
What a horrible death 😱 and the poor dad struggling, getting his face blown open, not knowing what was happening 😮
Another great story!! Best wishes as always ☘️😊🇮🇪💖
You said another "great"story, what's so great about it ?
🙄💔so Tragic.
What a sad, sad story all around.May the parents & daughter RIP.I hope Billy lives to be an old man in prison, so he can remember what he did every day of what's left of his life.Thanks Ron, for bringing us another great video, sad as it was, the story needed telling, so we don't forget-they are remembered.
Wow 15 and got away all those years, Thank Goodness he ran out of money, May they rest in peace!
I got physically sick to my stomach while listening to the part of him killing his Dad. I kept picturing my Dad & how I could never, ever hurt him or my Mom like that. Made me cry.
I agree.
That feeling is good it shows you got a heart and the pain of others hurt you, just look at his eyes, there is nothing empty no soul for God so no love for any other person only f9r in self, may God bless you
@Shell m I am sorry, hope you and baby are okay. No not all are good, kind or loving.
Billy was on my team in the Libertyville Boys Club Softball League and was a very nice kid. He was my catcher for a season and I don’t recall ever having anything but good conversations with him.
Very interesting….
Very,very sad how the parents were killed 😢😢 How anyone could kill their parents is beyond me 😢😢 May the parents & their daughter Rest In Peace 😢😢✝️✝️🌹🌹
My parents were nuts and it never crossed my mind
I’ve just NOW started listening to this story. I just read your comment. 😢🥺 I listen to a lot of stories similar to this one. But in their own way so very different. Anyway, it’s so 😞 sad, this story is all too common. We need a course that is mandatory to take in elementary school. About love and what it really is in all different ways. And classes on how to respect and treat people.... maybe? Idk, then stories would leak out people’s are making something sick out of it.... effing, pitiful world, dude......damn...... referring to Debbie Butler’s comment
@Topazthecat my mom jumped off a second story balcony holding me. I took care of her when she died
@@barbarakilman271 what a mother would do for her child May she Rest in Peace.
@@barbarakilman271 so sorry you’ve had to experience that. But not everyone has same experience and same mentality or emotions. Just because you took care of her even you were almost killed doesn’t make everyone else should and can do the same.
ROUSE Family..” RIP 🙌
Gone but Not forgotten ❤️
This is so sad and scary but thank you for sharing this story Ron. I'm from the UK so I'm so interested in hearing such sad stories from the u. s. a. May those family members rest in peace.
Ron, thanks for the very kind shout out about my book. There are tons of places & odd events in our area that folks pass every day without ever knowing the whole story.
I had Billy Rouse in my class in special ed in Libertyville Illinois. I was teachers assistant in the class. He was quiet but not easily motivated. Just came in usually high or smelly. He was clearly in a sort of internal misery. He was ruled by a dad that seemed to just yell a lot and wasn't ever ever pleased with anything Billy could -or couldn't - do.
M. Illinois. 📚
Very interesting, thanks for sharing. Must be haunting to imagine, you knew the guy.
I was flat-out spoiled and I was a child who wanted to share all that I had. I had a huge heart which only grew and I was very sensitive. I was a spoiled kid who was not a spoiled brat.
I know what you are saying. Same thing for me lol I remember one time when I was in the 3rd grade on the first day of school I noticed a classmate had old dirty shoes on and it was killing me that she didn’t have new shoes on the first day of school and I went home from school that day and was in tears about that poor little girl so needless to say I drove my parents crazy until they bought her a pair of shoes lol 😂
@@jessicajones3379 that would have been me! :-). That girl would have had a new pair of shoes the next day!
Same here. I’d give my last dollar to help someone. My parents spoiled me but gave me great morals and a huge heart.
15 years old!! OMG 15!!! Cannot Phantom Killing My Parents. I miss them still 💔 Thank God For Memories 🌹 And my Family I have ❤️🌹❤️ Thank You Ron for sharing your story 😊
I believe you mean (fathom )
understand (a difficult problem or an enigmatic person) after much thought.
"he couldn't fathom why she was being so anxious"
I remember when this all happened. I grew up with relatives of theirs. They finally tore that house down!
When did the killing happen again?
@@westcoastin7077 1980ish
Why did they tear the house down?
@@lauraaddison9986
The house was the scene of another murder. Lived down the road from where the home was originally, there’s still a basketball hoop and part of a driveway.
@@lauraaddison9986 it caught fire so it was demolished
Reminds me of the Menendez family murders in Beverly Hills.
That is so Heartbreaking rest in peace
Sad. Very sad.
This weighs heavily on my heart, such a horrific case. I do not recall this event as I was only 8 at the time. Still enjoying my childhood and protected from such things. Rest in peace Rouse family.
How Heartbreaking & sad 😢😢 RIP to the parents & Robin I also like to look at old gravestones & the history to them💖💖
Hi from WI When I grew up in Milwaukee it was a total different world. Sunday morning the city was closed, people went to Church. Now the stores are open Christmas eve and morning. Church is something like "I'll go next week" ! I'm 74 and I lived by a 100 rules. An your right,, "Think" before you do something. An all an those thinking and rules made a better man out of me. Now you don't like something go protest or just give them the finger. Or worst yet,, get a weapon an ... you know the rest. I'm glad I'm as old as I am. All I can add is pray for the people ! Thanks for another great Graveyard program
Hmm. You were a teen in the 60s...the era of protests. Stop the whinging
I am just feeling the sadness , a moment
Stock in time ..😔💔
My heartfelt and Prayers to the Parents
and Daughter that passed❤️🙏
Rest In Peace 🙌🌺💐🌷💕
I'm so obsessed with FOTF, that other posts don't hold my attention, quite like this channel does. I've always been fascinated with cemeteries, and to have a tour through AND a story to go with, is amazing!
In New Zealand here, we don't have much history beyond 1800s really as we are a relatively young country.
I thankyou for all yr work, and the loving respect you have for the victims and their families, Sir.
Bless you and your family. ✝️🌏🙃
thank you Karan, what a greta note!
May this family rest in peace. Very horrific way of murder of the parents. I am glad to see William is serving his life behind bars. I do like those old head stones. Great story Ron.
The kid blew it all he volunteered information and detail a dead give a way. No pun intended. My gosh what a story. Excellent presentation. Your feelings come thru and you are a caring 👨 man
I walk in the cemetery. I tried to stay off the graves as well. It's just a sign of respect for the dead and the family
I used to live in Libertyville, Illinois on the town square ( the rectory of St. Joes ). I remember this mystery Murder ! we Moved to Wisconsin before it was solved. WOW What an ending !! I have donated to your Patreon to help with the purchase of headstones. Ron, You always tell a good story and keep me intrigued. Hope to see you in the Northwood's this summer.
Wow horrendous criminal case , but it's good to know the story of the events ! Thank you Mr Ron , you're a truly good Story Teller , and i really enjoyed how you explained it !
A grave in the middle of the video was of Mary Harrison.. she was 90 when she died and that would make her birthday 1775 ...how amazing.
And her brother, Thomas Postgate, was born in 1774 and died at the ripe old age of 88!
@@fuzzamajumula I quickly read his name but was so focused on her.. ty for pointing that out.. love this.. I live in New Hampshire but love going to Boston have some unbelievable cemeteries
I love going to cemeteries. I live in Texas and one of my favorites it’s the one in Galveston it’s huuuuuuge and the history and feel you get from reading the tombstones is amazing. Many of them will tell a story of the person. Anyway this was very interesting, thank you
God bless them. Another great story I enjoy these so much. Thankyou
I find myself waiting for your video uploads every day. Thank you for bringing these to the light
You’re a great story teller Sir!
That video is absolutely brutal. Having to tell us the strip-mall wasn’t there in 1853? 🤣🤣🤣
Kind of reminds me of the Menendez brothers with the spoiling and the murders. My parents raised us with a what we needed: a whole lot of love, our physical needs met with occasional splurges, and some appropriate discipline when needed. I admit I needed the last part more than my sister did! 🤣
What a heartbreaking story , but unfortunately, it’s not a story but real. I don’t know them, but no parents deserve this. They provided for him, fed him, had a lovely home, tried to ensure homework was completed. I guess some people are just born evil. Absolutely horrible. Thank you, Ron. I’m really shaken
My conscious hurts me every day whether I actually killed anyone or not. It's best not to even think about things like that. In my mind I'm a murderer.
POOR ROBIN , MAY SHE REST IN PEACE 🙏🕊💔
I agree and I think folks see the older as the same as butch defeo and it's not fair to him. He lost his entire family
@@barbarakilman271 who is butch defeo ??? U MEAN RON DEFEO IN AMITYVILLE LONG ISLAND ?? RON WAS HIS NAME
Yes I have always heard him called butch
@@barbarakilman271 humm maybe your right ,but i never heard him called butch , that crime too was horrific , like the one in NJ WHERE IM FROM , IT WAS NOV 9TH 1971 IN WESTFIELD NJ THE FATHER KILLED HIS WHOLE FAMILY , HIS MOTHER KILLED IN THE ATTIC WHICH WAS HER OWN APT , THEN HE KILLED HIS WIFE , AND HIS THREE CHILDREN TWO BOYS AND HIS DAUGHTER PATRICIA WHO WAS 17. THEN HE LEFT , LEAVING THEIR BODIES IN THE HUGE BALL ROOM OF THEIR MANSION , IN SLEEPING BAGS TWO MONTHS GOES BY AND NEIGHBORS NOTIFED THE POLICE , THATS WHEN THEY MADE THE GRUESOME DISCOVERY. HE WAS FOUND FROM THE TV SHOW AMERICAS MOST WANTED , HE WAS FOUND IN VIRGINA .THE WIFE AND THREE KIDS ARE BURIED IN WESTFIELD , NOT HIS MOTHER OR THE KILLER HIMSELF , IM NOT SURE WHERE JOHN IS BURIED. JOHN LIST WAS HIS NAME , U CAN LOOK IT UP
@@natalieangelo54 ..WHATTTT.? 😆
I remember the story. Everyone was frightened when this first happened in this area. I believe ID channel did a story on the house and told the story of what happened to the Rouse's.
Sometimes kids are given to much in life, and with no responsibilities. They expect cash flow will never stop, the parents weren't seeing what was happening around them. A terrible tragedy all around, and it didn't seem to change any self serving thoughts in the minds of the two sons.
Dynmically opposite, kids who have very little, go on to criminal lifestyle, middle class children can wind up on the same road.
The way they were raised had a lot to do with their lack of responsibility. You can't give anyone everything they want without cheating them out of the joy of accomplishment. Even the girl who apparently did very well in school displayed some of that behavior at the end.
In his older pics, Billy favors his father, Bruce. I’d hate to see the nightmares that wake Billy up.
This whole story is so sad.
Parents that work to give their children a life they never had often forget those children will never learn the lessons that made them hard workers. I think by the time they realized what their sons had become, they felt it was too late to fix things by themselves. A lot of kids, in time, grow up & get close to the parents again. But I guess Billy had other plans...proof that RESPECT has to be a lesson they learn real early on.
I hadn’t heard of this before so thanks again Ron!
What a heartbreaking eerie story... So sad, that's why children should learn the word NO and not be allowed to have everything they want without earning it. RIP
Wow Ron this was something! Amazing... the crazy stories never end😳😞 very interesting thanks for sharing and all your hard work... appreciate you 🍻 stay safe and healthy out there 🙏💛
Thank for sharing. Please take care of yourself. Much love and respect.
Wow, such a sad story but well delivered. Thank you for sharing.
I remember when that happened, I currently live in Maine but was living in Ingleside Illinois at the time, there were stories about the case almost every day in the Waukegan News Sun . Sad that they had to die like that at the hands of the younger son.
I'm also a huge history buff like yourself Ron. I've always been very close to my folks since I was little. I've been bingewatching all your videos thanks for taking us on your adventures
My mom and dad knew the Rouses. My dad worked for him at the Standard station (later Amoco) in Mundelein back in the late 60's or early 70's. My uncle and his friend robbed that station before that and like dummies they ran from there and left footprints in the snow to where they were hiding. They were busted in no time. LOL Anyway, after working for Rouse (everyone called him Rouse) for a while, Dad bought the Mobile station Rouse owned which was across the street from the Standard station. Robin was the same age as me. I didn't know her or the other kids or Darlene but I do remember Bruce. He was always nice to me. I was living in Gages Lake (Grayslake) when the murders happened. I was shocked and so was my dad. Bruce got into cable tv and real estate and word was he was affiliated with the mob which supposedly met at his house. After their deaths the house had an illegal casino run by the mob and a well known mobster was slain there. The house is gone now. It burned and not much was left of it, then it was torn down. It was just north of Rt 137. It was unincorporated back then but it's really grown in that area now. I haven't been there in a few years but if I remember right there's a music hall and a few other businesses where the house was.
Thanks for those memories. Crazy times
Must have been so unbelievable when it happened. I am sure Mr and Mrs Rouse had many connections in the community. How sad.
Thank You for telling this story.
Thankyou, what a lovely video of remembrance for the Rouse family.
Thank you for all of your hard work, research, and filming locations you do !
I don't watch regular TV, but rather watch UA-cam channels. Your channel is top notch. I just wanted to let you know I appreciate all you do to make the show interesting and informative ! Thanks again brother . Prayers that God continues to bless you in your future adventures . 🙏
OMG ✨ Ron

Coach Houses are cool to live in. They're really EXPENSIVE in Chicago when I lived there. I guess the price is out of this world now.
Thank u, Sir. A fantastic job, as always!! I am constantly amazed at your thoroughness, curiosity & ENERGY!! Hope you never change!! ☺️
I think it is sad that none of the kids look very upset in photos from the day of the murders or from the funeral... I don’t know knowing my parents were killed like that not sure I would look so care free..so very sad
right??? EXACTLY Michelle, this is what I was thinking.
@@FacesoftheForgotten I'm surprised to hear such ignorance from someone who spreads so much wonderful information such as you, sir.
So please allow me to give back some knowledge to you as you've given me plenty........
Its called shock. It's one of the stages of grief. I'm kinda surprised that someone who spends so much time around the subject of dying wouldn't recognize this - but maybe I shouldn't be because It's not something people experience with typical deaths like when grandma dies of old age with the whole family gathered holding hands and saying goodbye together.
It's what happens when your friend or family is suddenly and tragically taken from you. Or violently taken from you.
I think part of the problem is that people watch too much tv and movies and are conditioned to expect dramatic responses to situations like this.
Sometimes people dont believe me when I tell them with a straight face and matter of factly that my sister committed suicide when I was 17 and she was 24. They expect tears, 23 years later, to make it believable. Ever since it happened, I've always been self conscious about the way I appeared to people emotionally. But I had to be strong and be a man, at 17, for my mom - who was probably more like what you'd expect a suicide survivor to behave like.
Another thing you have to remember is you are approaching this situation from the viewpoint of an emotionally, financially established adult man, not a 15 year old kid who was spoled(not his fault), not emotionally stable, brain not fully developed, and under the influence of drugs at 2am in a big midwestern thunderstorm in 1980!!!!
Anyways, I love your videos - I live by st charles and heard of the body snatching story but not in detail and of course not with the quality video you made. Hopefully I helped you understand why it looks like
Faces of the Forgotten, I live very close to the house where this happened, and Mr. Rouses’ cousin was the superintendent of my high school. Have you ever visited the cemetery at Millburn? It’s supposedly haunted.
@@nightmaster6381
I’m from Arlington Hieghts and moved to Cali in 87 but I don’t remember this story. I have had to come back here after all this time and I don’t remember this story but I TOTALY understand about the way we perceive people after a death and shock. There is no rule book of how one is supposed to “look”. What is the body snatchers story? I guess I’ll have to look through the channel as I just found this channel a few minutes ago.....
@@Mytube777 I didnt hear about it until a few years ago myself. But do check out this channel's video on the body snatchers. It took place in St. Charles. This channel is one of the best, good luck getting out of the rabbit hole!
Thanks for covering this story and presenting it so well..I don't think that this family had any viable ethics and appear to lack morals as well as family values, Such a shameful waste of lives.
Another fascinating story of murder in a family. Billy was probably a psychopath at an early age. These sons were screaming out for help, love, attention and all they got was the old tough love kick in the pants. Doesn't turn out so well as we have learned here.
Tough love doesn't always work. Love, time and attention is what's important. What happens is that material things are given and for some reason, "people", not all, think that's enough. It's not. Also words can hurt and scar.
RIP to the Rouse Family, 2 horrific murders, poor Robin. Xxx
I absolutely revered my mother. I can count on one hand the few times I ever even raised my voice to her. ❤ I love you mama RIP. A true Saint.
thanks for all the time you put into these stories. I always been interested in old tombstone and cemeteries.pontiac Illinois has very interesting ones.
I recently found your channel, information and story,it’s very interesting I enjoy old cemetery because they are peaceful but sometimes the stories are something else the statuary is fabulous
Never heard of this story. Horrible how children can kill their parents. The thought of killing someone is bad enough but a parent is even worse.
I feel the same about this!!😔😔😔
Have you ever lived through years of physical and mental abuse? I might sound cold but you begin to feel like they don't place an emphasis on the value of life, why should you.
Hello my friend pray all is well thank you for taking us along
Another unfortunate moneyed family. The parents really should have taught those boys some manners, respect and values. ThanQ for sharing Ron. Travel safe.
I love how you do the back story when u go to the cemetery
This was such a needless tragedy..how very sad may the parents be at peace..omg what horrible deaths the parents had it breaks my heart...no one deserves to die like that
I couldn't understand why the police couldn't have solved this relatively easily, until an article said that when they were going to interview the children, family members intervened and disallowed it. I'm sure they had the kids' best interest at heart, but it allowed a murderer to inherit and spend a significant amount of money, which gets me more than him going unpunished for 15 years. The irony is that in 1980, Billy would've been tried in juvenile court and likely released by age 21.
This is a tragic story all the way around. R.I.P :(
Thank You and for fixing that Flag
you very welcome!
Not sure why there is a question mark at the end of that
My sweet mother always said, too much money only brings tears, division's and tragedy, and I was just a small little girl, but I understand it.
RIP to Bruce and Darlene Rouse; RIP to Robin Rouse, too ❤ ❤ 🎉 😢. Thank you to @ FOTF Ron for your kindness and thoughtfulness ❤ 😊 and thank you always for sharing 😊.
I appreciate your narratives, well researched and spoken, thank you
You nailed it right there. Robin waa the favorite, daddy's little girl. Favoritism destroys and rots families. In this case, it literally did. Good for him, I don't blame him.
I like cemeteries. I think they are peaceful. I used to spend time in one as a child when my mom was with her phycologist. I’ve been to many and especially Boston and my home New Orleans and I’ve always felt at peace ☺️❤️🇺🇸
I agree with you. Sometimes I'll walk through the Cemetery's wondering what their lives where like, how they lived. Ect....
I am always amazed at how much research you do for these videos....
Wow that was something. I'm surprised he got away with it for so long.
Thank you for your videos I totally love cemeteries I can't go out and look at cemeteries like I used to I have MS I am 66 so thank you God bless you
awesome story my friend, enjoy more than walk around, thank you for quality entertainment!
I'm at a loss, as to what to say, except another so tragic ending to this family, may they Rest in Peace.
What a tragic story may they all rest in peace Stay safe ❤️
Love watching your vlogs. I live in Rock island illinois. I love the stories you tell about the people and their lives.
My parents had a friend who's husband was a private security guard. Him and someone else where on the property to guard it. The friend was inside and his partner was outside. The guy outside was shot at and my parents friend had to use the phone to call 911. Needless to say they were pulled and lake county sheriff took over. The friend said it was so damn eerie in the house he had the creeps he said
So sad what happened to the parents and the daughter. How can you do such a thing, I don't understand how any child could kill their parents. It upsets me to know that I'm going to lose my parents to old age. That boy had no remorse for what he did, he definitely had an evil streak in him. I'm glad he's behind bars where he belongs.
I don't walk on the graves of people either, I've always tried to walk between or around the graves trying to be respectful, and safer (as Ron has pointed out to us about some graves fallen in).
I think there should be a probe into his sis's car accident too
I love your channel ❤ 💕 THERE TRUE STORYS , WHICH MAKES THEM VERY INTERESTING !!! THANK YOU 😊 SO SAD WHAT THIS 15YRS OLD BOY DID
Love this channel love you give so much respect! I am imagining no cars disturbing the dead
Thanks for bringing this incredible story to light!
He was possessed..
Plain and simple..
Great story bro thank you..!
Ron, such a great video, but a sad story. Thanks for sharing and have a great day.
What an evil demon! Sickening...bad seed...sad tragic story
Exactly right.
That is the same river that John Wayne Gacy dumped two of his victims 😢. Your beautiful state has a real treasure trove of cemeteries to investigate. You and your state takes very very good care of the places of rest for the departed and I am sure the lord looks down 😃 on your efforts. The stories are so sad but are crying to be told and boy you are on top of it. You are ago getter and a top researcher. Good job my friend
He dumped more than 2 more like 4
I will never get bored or watching your channel 🇬🇧
So awesome you do these videos from illinois Chicago! From st Charles I love it
Another great video from our amazing storyteller, Ron! Looking forward to Sunday and the next premiere!
That is so messed up that they lost their lives like that to Billy.
Seems two names are so often associated with boys who were bad. Billy and Johnny
Very sad touching story.. May they RIP. Would be nice if you'd give a time line in the introduction when it happened. The old grave stones needs a facelift so it will be easier to read. Thank you..
