THIS STORY:
During the afternoon hours of July 21, 1985, Kristina Wesselman left her home on Cypress Drive in unincorporated Glen Ellyn to go to the Jewel Grocery store near her home. She never returned home from the store. At approximately 11:15 a.m. the following day, her partially nude body was discovered in a field between her home and the store. She had been sexually assaulted and stabbed multiple times.
An extensive investigation into her murder yielded no results and the case eventually went cold. The case has remained active since then. On September 10, 2015, the DuPage County Crime Laboratory informed detectives from the Sheriff’s Office that there was a DNA match through the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) that identified a specific person as the contributor of the DNA profile obtained from the sexual assault kit performed during Kristina’s autopsy. Further investigation led by the Sheriff’s Cold Case Unit with assistance from the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office led to Michael Jones of Champaign, Illinois.
On Friday, September 18, 2015, authorities from DuPage County traveled to Champaign, took Jones into custody and returned him to DuPage County to face the charges against him.

_________________________________________________________
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.

Rip Kristina I'm sure she would appreciate the flowers .And that useless parole board letting out this monster in only six years was a HUGE mistake.
I like the fact you don't mention the name of this animal. Such a sad story. I am a father of 2 daughters and I am so blessed. They are both grown now with kids of their own. Life is good for me, I just wish it could be good for everyone.
Kristy was a classmate of mine and I had the privilege of having classes with her and getting to know her as we grew up in an awkward time in those middle school years. I admired Kristy and always thought she was one of the nicest kind girls in our grade. She just was so kind and proper and a nice young lady that I had the honor of knowing as I was growing up. I'm glad that they finally caught the sick evil person who should never have been on the streets to begin with. May God bless the Wesselman family.
Very very sad, I know this is close to your heart. Thanks for writing Rick.
The rocks are family visits I would say .... my great grandma told my when visiting a family’s grave always take a stone from home to leave on the grave so god will know to let them know they had visitors
I was thinking birth dates of grandchildren
I love that story.
I was thinking special family events..like a wedding..graduation..to share with departed family member
That was my guess too.
Very Sad. Very nice of you to bring flowers.
I can only hope that the system notifies the parole people what he went on to do, they should have to live with it, too!
She winked down From heaven and said "Thank you" For the Flowers 🙏🙏
I had to pause at the “Baby’s Row,” one of the markers had the same day, month & year as my son’s birth. Sadly she didn’t live to see her first birthday. I’m praying for all those beautiful angels. Mine, he’s one year from being 50. Thank you for your videos, it’s a true reminder that we are here for only awhile.
I've been binge watching these. Remarkable & fascinating content! Thank you for your efforts! 👍
That is how I found FOTF and Ron too. Stumbled upon Ron's channel and binge watched like crazy. Now I wait eagerly for each new episode, vlog -whatever the correct term is. I'm hooked!
It's sad how much evil was back even in the 1980s i never really realized that growing up in the 80s and 90s
Thank you for putting flowers on her grave. It makes me so sad to see graves without flowers.
Thank you for your generous loving heart and for sharing these lives to us. It means a lot to be remembered. You would be great as an investigative reporter!
Thank you Sara. Your note is very inspiring to me. Have a great holiday!
Such a kind, thoughtful and wonderful gesture bringing flowers for the memory of that young girl. I was taken back a little when I saw her birth date, exact birth date of my son April 19, 1970. Poor sweet girl. R.I.P. angel. I can say with honesty that you're a generous and thoughtful man.
What a good man you are to bring her flowers, God bless you
Stories like this are unbelievable sad. At 12:38, my screen got really blurry, as a father of a 14 year old and a 10 year old. Newly subscribed.
The flowers are really beautiful I’m sure she liked him
You are such a gentle soul. Thank you for caring so much. Rest in peace sweet Kristina.
In Kannoplis NC, my stillborn niece and my 2 week old nephew are buried in what is name 'baby land' at cemetry. Both had genetic heart condition my sister in law has. But God Blessed them with a healthy son, who just turned 24 in Feb. My niece was one of the first babies be buried there. Her brother is beside her. Its almost full there now. So heartbreaking.
Illinois is full of events and thank you so much Sir for your time and effort in bringing to light some of those events that most of us have never heard of. Keep up the great work.
Somewhere in a better place a lovely 15 year old girl is smiling!
Wish someone would do a story on the murder of Valerie Percy. She was one of U S Senator Charles Percy's twin daughters. He was a Senator from Illinois who's daughter was murdered in the 1960s. I've never seen any update on the case.
Rip Kristina I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I hope the man responsible suffers in jail.😢
That was so sweet of you to bring her flowers.
Thank you.
It breaks my heart when I see all those graves with no flowers.
I would hate to be forgotten 😟😩
Thank you for making these videos and the memories alive to all these fallen soles. Just found your channel and have been binging most the day. Very well done, sir! Bless you!
🙏
What a great note, thank you. Binge away!!... I love it!
@@FacesoftheForgotten I'm still watching with heavy eye lids..lol 🥱
But there's always tomorrow!
😊👍
Keep 'em coming!
The really sad and unfair thing about this is you see all those innocent babies who passed so very early along with kristina, their lives cut so short then you see that vile evil monster who unfortunately is still breathing. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe. The flowers were beautiful.
The stones on top of the head stone could be the dates someone came to visit.
Moments
Some of them are the birthdates of the deceased
RIP Kristina
Sad beyond belief.😭She was born 11 days before my 2nd daughter was born. 💜
You’re a very kind man. You would think people on the parole boards would be better at knowing when someone is so evil.
Im glad to see you numbers going up, you have a very good channel and you bring the flowers was such a lovely jester, that monster still walk the earth what awaste of space.......Mary...in Canada
Mary Beazley ~ i’m glad you like the channel, yes this is all inspiring. I’m going to do a lot more...Let’s grow this channel!
Mary Beazley ~ i’m definitely not an armchair documentary producer, I like getting out there I like going to the scene of where things happened, I love chasing history like this... when I’m out an abduction or murder scene, it’s like a Time Machine
Thank you for leaving the beautiful flowers, such a sad story.
Okay so I'm on a binge-watch on your channel and then I'll close the night with Lamont at large you're my two favorites good stuff
For those not familiar, Wheaton is an upscale community
You are so nice and thoughtful to Bring her flowers! Sad case! She was only going to the store and a Creep had to kill her! Can’t walk snywhere now a days!
Very very interesting thankyou so touching you put flowers there how thoughtful
The stones indicate when someone visited. Such a great idea to date them. Woodland cemetery in Dayton has an amazing babies section. Also has a Greek section lol. Lots of Greeks on my in laws side are buried there. Bless Kristina May she rest well.
So Sad & that was so grt of u 2 bring flowers! & on the other grave those stones! I think they r 4 the memories! they had!
Very sweet of you to put flowers on the grave
Pretty flowers. Rest in Heaven angel. Thank you for the video.
I had to take a class when I was about 25 and the bus let me off about 45 mins before the class started. The building was beside the oldest cemetery here in Knoxville, TN... so I would go stroll through the cemetery to pass the time. I'll never forget when I came upon a headstone that had the famous quote upon it...
" Remember me as you pass by. As you are now, so once was I; As I am now, so you must be, Therefore prepare fo follow me."
It really hit me & has stuck with me since. At the time I didn't know it was a famous line, but I thought whomever put that on their headstone so long ago must have had a good sense of humor in life.
I just found your channel a couple days ago and have been spending my free time catching up on all your videos. I must say that I really love this channel and that you are a wonderful, kind soul. Thank you for all that you do.
This poor girl passed through a horror, her last minutes wasnt nice...no death is nice..once i remembered i almost drowned and while i was at the bottom of the river i could see the sunlight dancing on top of the water and everyhappy moment i ever had ,was just flashing before my eyes clear as day i refused to give up...what an experience !!!
Ron, you are so kind to put flowers at Kristina's grave. I'm sure she appreciates your thoughtful gesture. 💕
I love watching your videos. what a sweet thing to do putting flowers on her grave.
Another sad story about a young girl who was robbed of her life by a SOB !!! I'm glad he was finally sentenced to 80 yrs & may he NEVER see the light of day again. It's too bad that we don't have dungeons to dump this guy in or brick him up behind a wall. Yes, I'm not nice to evil people who harm innocent people &/or animals. I believe in the old adage, an eye for an eye !!! May Kristina Wesselman RIP !!! Ron, love the flowers you put on her grave... bless you for caring !!! Stay safe !!
Very rarely have I ever subbed to a channel in which I watch ALL of the videos it has, one by one, all in a row, in chronological order, starting from the beginning.....
... only about 2 or 3 channels I'm subscribed to, out of the 100s that I am, have I done that....
Yours is now one of those. I've watched all of your vids, in order, from the start, not skipping over any.
Course, that's only about 8 or 9 videos at this point... I still have two years of your vids to watch now, at least 540 more.
it'll be a long journey for me, but I know I'll find it interesting every step of the way. I love the idea behind this channel and you're kind to make it. The stories are all interesting and you tell them in a nice way. I have these mini marathons where I watch 3-4 of your videos over about 2-3 hours a day now, so I'll watch a few more tomorrow, picking up where I left off here.
I probably won't reach your most recent ones for a long time...but I'll periodically leave comments on some vids, here and there, to pinpoint where I am, exactly, in your history of vids.
Thank you for the channel.
wow, what an inspiring note! thank you. it means a lot.
well, the productions you are watching are early on, I cringe now at some of them. the good news is that I have improved, every month.
hope you enjoy them, I put a lot of work into them all.
glad you are now part of our Gang!!
Please please use the word rape, not assaulted, not "you know what happened," etc., Rape is what it is and should always be said. Other words are just sugar coating what really happened. Love your channel.
UA-cam doesn’t like you to use the word rape, they demonetize videos, sometimes they will block the video so I don’t do it anymore
@@FacesoftheForgotten yes you are correct UA-cam is strict about certain words
Rest In Peace 💐🙏
Beloved Soul!🙏💐🌷❤️
I watch your videos everyday .you make me feel very peaceful you are a wonderful gentlemen thank you for your time and dedication for the people .
I am spending my day binge-watching your videos keep it up!
You're doing a fabulous job. Love you J_Ro (Jan)
Wow. Wheaton is so close to my hometown. Very scary.
Never went to prom. Drive a car. Get a job. Graduation from high school
Good man leaving flowers xxxx
You are so caring. I just found you video's and now I am binge watching. Such a kind heart.
I wonder how many people go to Google directly after learning of these stories to learn more. I do! Lol
I do also,,,
Anyone else notice that when chain gangs are capital punishment were used the crime rate was much lower? Great deterrents!
I absolutely agree.
I have seen several chain gangs in Florida...it was really hot outside
Beautiful flowers.....RIP Dear Christina 🙏
RIP KRISTINA , MAY YOUR SOUL FLY FREE, SO UTTERLY SAD, TRAGIC 😥🕊💔🙏 , "THOSE WHOM DO AND LIVE IN EVIL IF JUSTICE DO NOT GET THEM, KARMA WILL , KARMA HAS NO EXPERATION DATE, THE KARMA TRAIN RIDES THROUGH IN SEARCH OF THOSE DRIVEN BY SATAN
Those were the last words I said to me son. I love you my son, please be careful. What a real POS this man was, and what the hell is wrong with this system, how do you let a monster like him out of prison. SMDH! This should have never happened to that poor young girl. Thank you for the beautiful gesture of giving her flowers. Rest in Paradise Kristina.
Very sad story. 😢 🙏
R I P beautiful girl a young life taken so tragically to soon 😢😢 🕊 ❤❤❤❤ thank you Ron for telling stories with such love and respect and tell the forgotten lost souls stories 🙏 ❤️
Bless her heart. RIP Kristina.
So sad 😢💖
Thank you for leaving flowers 💐
My heart goes out to Kristina’s family. I can’t even imagine the pain to lose a child in any way but like that is so horrible. I hope Kristina is resting in peace now that her monster has been caught. The stone on top of the gravestone are dates someone has visited starting in 2014. Someone visits every Nov 18 since 2014 as far as the stones show. Which is Mildred’s birthday 😊
This story among others really haunts me as Kristina and I were the same age.
I grew up here
The "Baby Row" made me wistfully think of all of the stillbirths and young children buried in a cemetery not far from my old high school. So many lives not realized, even from the time I was born and growing up.
If you ever come Florida way, I'd love to have a coffee with you and perhaps go wandering around cemeteries ?
It’s crazy world we live in. my Dads friend is the sister of kristy. rip
sad it took 30 years to get this piece of work...but thank god for DNA and them not giving up on finding her killer.
You Did so Awesome. Putting Flowers on her grave. I can see Her Smile. GOD LOVES YOU!!. YOU ARE AN ANGEL IN DISGUISE.
How very sad 😔 Thank-you Ron
Two days a week I teach at a local county jail. People tell me it's not dangerous there, but where do you think the bad people go to await trial...local county jails. Then when they get out, they are allowed to come to our Adult Ed classroom. We have whatever kind of felon in our classroom. It's much better in the classroom (safer feeling and there are bathrooms...never seen a jail bathroom...I hold it!), but it's still dealing with these kinds of people daily. It's a hard job that does not pay well. The point is that I know first hand that bad people are let out of jail, regularly. They go back into society, and not all straighten up. We have a young man now, (registered sex offender) that keeps disappearing in the middle of the day to do whatever, and then returns right before he is supposed to be picked up by his parents. Since he is 19 and not doing anything IN the classroom, we have to let it go, legally. I am allowed to call his mom and say he left, but there is little I can tell her about his progress in school, or anything else (if I knew, which I don't, because he is an adult). I worry about what he is doing when he is out and about...it's really worrisome. The system is broken. The police should care that he is disappearing (follow him, maybe), but they won't do anything until there is proof he is doing something, so he comes and goes, and who knows who is being hurt in the meantime.
RIP Kristina 😢🙏✝️❤️🌺💐
If the demon was from Champaign I wonder how he knew about the cut-through near the woods behind the Jewel?
She was so young. Rest in Peace.
This case haunted me as a young man. I lived in North Glen Ellyn. I didn't know Krissy but have friends who attendees Glenbard South. It was the first time I was aware of such a terrible murder in my hometown.
I'm at college Avenue station right now.....creepy
When I was around 7 or 8 we lived in Mesquite Tx off of Lindo drive my friend was kidnapped and raped and murdered the day before we were playing in the street riding our bikes what kids do and a man came up to us telling us he needed help to find his dog we all took off but we were to young to think any more about it until the next day she came up missing I told my parents. This was back in the 70's
Oh my God, that is dreadful. Can I ask what her name was?
Tyra Heath she was 6 yrs old.
You can find her on memoriesofdallas.org
Many children came up missing that year around that area.
I just looked up the story, wow brutal. You are so lucky. Just wasn’t your time. That poor Beautiful child....
I just want to say thank you for thinking of those who psdt an trolling there story so much un just in this world
Maybe the stones were birthdates of grandkids and great grands born after they passed?
RIP Beautiful Soul
What a wonderful thing you did the flowers are beautiful love your channel your such a sweet person
Visitors to a Hebrew grave always leave a stone on the stone
80 years is not long. enough
I live 2 towns over and know this area well. When I first read about Kristy's case, I always assumed that Kristy lived in one of the houses closer to Butterfield Rd. (Rt. 56). It was always an assumption. I thought she walked West to head home. I'm so glad I found your video. Now I know. But man, Kristy walked a lot further than I thought.
Glad you were able to find my Production. Interesting that she had a longer walk
This is so appalling👿It is something that should have never happened and society is to blame for not having stricter laws .👿
He should of got the neddle!
Maybe it's stone's with the dates that they come to see them?? Maybe
I went to high school with her. She was a very good person.
The baby row was so touching. My Mom lost my little brother at birth, and at the time, my parents couldn't bury him in the Catholic Church Cemetery since he hadn't been baptized (ridiculous 1964 rules!!). So he was buried in an unmarked grave in a section that's set apart in the cemetery. When my Mom passed away a few years ago, we added an inscription in memory of him on her headstone, so that he wouldn't be forgotten. I also got his death certificate from the state so that the family has an official record of him. I hope Jeffrey was the first person Mom met when she passed over. Usually when a baby dies at birth, they just put one date, indicating DOB and DOD are the same. Bless these babies.
"Baby Boy" Balocca was 3 months old. His father's name was "Al". (Alfred Edward Balocca's father was Alfred Seconda Balocca)
That creature who murdered Kristina didn't get away with anything, right now he's learning the art of 'tossing the salad' prison lingo for...you know what; so nasty I won't say it.
I think he should’ve gotten worse.
@@FacesoftheForgotten I used to say we need to bring back 'hangings' but I have changed my mind. They should bury them alive in a secret place, not in a cemetery or a graveyard and without a marker.
No the trees were still big in the Valley then, they are even bigger now. This neighborhood was planned in the late 50s/early 60s and built in the 60s so the trees were already 20 years old by the mid 80s
May this lovely young woman rest in peace.
At least they bagged the creep that killed her! And the family gets some measure of justice.
Wasn't there a famous ship called the Mary Celeste? The same name as one of the babies!
That the visitors were present to visit the grave.
Lived near there '88-'94. Know that area well. Was not aware this happened. Makes me feel sick for her and her family.
Ron, may God bless you! You are such a kind soul! May you find you find everlasting peace in your life, and endeavors! So heartbreaking to see these atrocities! God did not plan for mankind to experience these on his earth!
May Kristina fine peace and love on the Other Side. Such a sad story. 😢
Poor darling girl, just 2 years older than me 😓🕊🕊🕊♥️
This girl died because the judicial system was soft on crime and failed to protect the public. What really hurts my heart is the idyllic way Kristina and her mom were all set for old movies and munchies when this monster waylaid Kristina. Thank you for honoring Kristina with her story and with the gorgeous flowers.
Bobby boy reminded me of the boy with no name found in the cardboard box 1957 there photos look so similar even though bobby died 1984 terrible case for this woman but they got the dirtbag eh.
As alway's thank's for sharing ron..
