You absolutely do a great job telling these true stories! My mother and I watch together and she always asks for Southern Girl! No one else will do! Keep up your great work 🤗👍
All of these are so sad but the first one hit home. Those girls were my age, 82 babies, and should have graduated in 2000. Forever 17 🙏🏾 This just breaks my heart so bad. I couldn’t imagine leaving here at 17 in 1999. At 40 I feel so blessed.
It puzzles me why when people hear SCREAMING and odd movements in the townhouse, they didn't call the POLICE! I would have and if it turned out to be nothing, that would be fine because if it HAD been(which it was)a life may have been save or the killer caught!
Me too! I think we must be rare as hen's teeth. As a parent and grandparent I couldn't do anything less because one day it might just be my family needing help! Take care now.
Tell me you grew up in suburbia without telling me you grew up in suburbia and you don't call the cops in the city it's like the number one unspoken rule. You don't call the cops.
💔 For all the victims RIP... also that dude is "crazy as"... I hope that more evidence can be found in Janelle's case... & if that crazy... Is responsible than he stays where he belongs... Behind bars... 😡
Thanks for doing the story about JB and Tracie from Dothan, AL. I was only 4 years older than them and their murder was so awful and heartbreaking for the whole area. There were so many rumors too and not just about the police but I'm glad it had somewhat of a solution. Mia Brown is another one from this area that is heartbreaking. She was found in her trunk too. Not connected to JB and Tracie at all though. Anyway thank you for the coverage.
The police definitely did that crime ain’t no way after this women ratted out the police department she gets beat then all of a sudden they have a black suspect who don’t have no connection with the case at all I’ve read about Ozark and y’all police department is definitely full of dirty cops
I'm from Troy, but was working at Wal-Mart in Ozark at the time. Back then, especially, Ozark was a very tight community. Yes, there was a lot of rumors, but there was also a lot of fact to many of those rumors. Most of the ones involved (in those rumors) have moved away... that tells me a lot right there. Not matter what happened, it was a very very sad and dark time in Dale County, Alabama. It really changed the community.. Ozark lost its innocence to me.... I grew up going to the skating rink, the movies over by the old Walmart... it sure has changed.
@@will2472 Oh wow so you got an unfortunate front row seat to all the ugliness that came after. I can understand the loss of innocence.. it was so brutal. Those rumors sure did cast a shadow.
Seeing such young people snuffed out before they even get a chance to live really makes my blood boil. I wish I could have just 1 minute alone in a room with whoever that guy is that left JB and Tracie in that trunk.
Good morning y'all I love to see DNA kick ass it's the best Southern Girl keep up the sensational job my friend these videos rock especially when DNA kick ass peace ✌️
Thank you for covering the case of J.B and Tracie. I am from Ozark Alabama where the murder happened. I was so young when it happened but I remember all the rumors that surrounded this case. I'm so happy their families have some closure.
I get so giddy when you upload! Thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU SO MUCH! Not just for your thorough research, and beautiful Southern voice, but especially for the authentic reverence regarding each story + the victims! (Also your occasional/sporadic, much-needed, and apt humor! I tend to do a little jig when you deadass & cleverly insult the really unrepentant/egregious criminals!) You’re beautiful, exceptional, and so talented!
Ready for my southern girl while sipping some coffee. Have a great day I love your videos. Sending greetings from the Caribbean island of Trinidad and Tobago
Jonelle Matthews case really pissed me off. He did that shit and basically played around staying close enough to the case to see how long it takes them to solve the murder and that infuriates me even more. That was just a personal game for him. I hate law enforcement took soooo long to pinpoint him when it was right under their nose. Ugh.
When dealing with corrupt police department, entire department, wouldn’t it be a little easier for them to mess with the DNA and put it on an innocent man? I don’t know, but something in my gut tells me that Rena wasn’t making all that up. That’s just my opinion though 🤷🏻♀️
It was long a rumor the person who killed those girls was the police chiefs son. The son committed suicide not long after they were killed and the chief destroyed the suicide note. And yes not everything that lady said about corruption was made up.
Please do a story about Baby Joe Clyde Daniels. He was a 5 year old non verbal little boy with autism from middle Tennessee who was murdered by his parents. His case has haunted me for years. RIP baby Joe Clyde. 🙏
We in the in UK pronounce Reading as Red- ing too. I watch mostly American true crime whether on UA-cam or tv programs and noticed some pronounce towns or cities that are named the same in the uk as in America the same but some don’t, i thought this might be a state thing to how it’s pronounced. Woodsborough for instance I’m sure I’ve heard someone in America pronounce it woods buh-ruh ( uk way ) but some pronounce it woods bor row , but could’ve been another place with borough on the end. It just interests me on how differently diffent states pronounce the same name. I’m just fascinated by it and would happy watch a video about it. Sure there must be a video up somewhere about this. I love the American language. I know. I’m a geek lol
@@vixenghoul I’m a bit of an Anglophile (perhaps because my grandmother was a Welsh war bride) and I get into these differences too. I imagine Reading, PA was named after Reading in the UK, but was never changed in pronunciation. Famous differences are in the ‘-hams’. Such as Birmingham. UK BURR-ming-um vs. USA burr-ming-HAM. We’ll never understand how you get “DAR-bee” out of Derby, or “BARK-sheer” out Berkshire-there’ are no ‘a’s to be found... And the whole “shire” thing is something else altogether. Americans butcher the British “-shires”. They give them a long “i” and rhyme shire with hire. When it is supposed to be pronounced “sher” - rhymes with fur or like “sheer”. Most Americans would pronounce Edinburg as EDD-in-berg, not EDD-in-bruh. Brits typically get the US state of Michigan wrong, they pronounce the first syllable as “Mitch” when it should be “mish”. Brits mangle Kentucky as well, putting the emphasis on the last syllable instead of the middle syllable. America is known to mangle borrowed foreign place names… Cairo, IL is pronounced “KAY-ro”. New Madrid, not too far down the Mississippi River, is pronounced “noo-MADD-rid”. The list goes on.
I have known several of these cases over the years and am glad to know the conclusions. This is my first time to see your channel and I will be back for more.I'm subscribing right now.
License on the dash hints at LE officer or someone imitating one which may have pulled them over. Also, it sounds like they tried to run away from their murderer before they were shot.
I'm new to your channel ( which I love ) it's a beautiful thing you do telling there stories. I was immediately after 5 minutes watching a episode hooked. Because you southern lady are kind you care about all of these men and women who no longer have voices you keep there cases and each individual person still alive. Thank you sweet Angel. Im a forever fan..
I'm a new subscriber...I play your playlists as I sleep, lol. I listen to you and sometimes think about one of my neighbors that was murdered a number of years ago in Vero Beach, Florida. Her name was Helen McPherson, she (her husband as well) was a great neighbor! I don't think her case has been solved yet, and I'd love to hear/see a "solved" update on your channel!
I hope so also .I did look up her murder and as of July 2023 Indian River County Sheriff's Department stated they have a person of interest in her murder thanks to forensics .Hopefully she will get justice soon .I have a lot of relatives in that part of Florida .I live near Ozark and my daughters knew J B and Tracie from school back then when it happened. Such an awful fate for these two young ladies also .I quite enjoy the solved murders on this channel myself .Where I live on the Choctawhatchee River we have a lot of unsolved murders and are a well known dump/murder site in this area but one Jane Doe was recently identified and they have a strong suspect in her murder .Hopefully my dear friend Tarayon Corbitt murdered here on the river August 10 1995 and still unsolved he will get justice one day also .RIP to them all .Sorry for the loss of your neighbor in such a horrible manner .
@@elizabethbelflower5284 it was my little brother that discovered that something was wrong, he mowed her grass and saw all the papers building up in her paper box out front...The sheriff has said the same thing about her murder for quite some time, I hope he isn't just yanking people's chains. Sorry to hear about your friend, almost hard to believe that 95' was almost 30 years now. I hope they find his killer also.
These guys are all disgusting but to kill your own Grandmother??? That is just horrifying!! The last case came too close to home! I lived in the Big Bear Lake area for 15 years! 🥺
Love your voice. It's so soothing. Love your attention to detail and that you don't cover just mainstream cases. I've never listened to one of your videos and not heard a case I've never heard before. You continue to bring new cases weekly. Thank you so much. I get so excited everyone I see there's a new upload. Keep up the good work!
In the October 2022 trial, Steven Pankey, was given life in prison for the felony murder of Jonelle Mathews and guilty of second degree kidnapping. As far as I'm concerned the SOB is right where he belongs. ✌
I’m so happy I found your videos!! I love how you tell the stories of these horrific crimes and get right to the point! You’re awesome and some of these cases are barely on the internet so to even have light shed on them is incredible of you.
Good morning SG I hope you're having a wonderful day. When it comes to the case of jonnelle Matthew's I fervently believe that Pankey is guilty. There have been numerous killers that have insinuated themselves in their victims investigations and Pinky is such an odd character . He just gives off a very icky vibe and I really hope he is brought to Justice. Thank you for relating these cases to us I appreciate it I hope that you have an excellent week.
Wow, that dude talking to an interviewer....wtf does his girlfriend, who he was having sex with, flew to England to have an abortion (this was the late 70s, abortions were legal here by then), came back and they had sex right away when she got back.....like whoa, nobody asked about that ish, dude.
Right! Then he says he took his son out of the church because of the Matthew’s family and the turns around and says they didn’t start going there until a year later
Your coverage of these crimes is spot on, concise, direct and empathetic. The murder of the two young girls was bizarre. I also think their murderer pulled them over posing as law enforcement. What a senseless, cruel act. He killed two beautiful young kids who had their whole lives ahead of them.....for no reason at all.
I am so concerned about my daughter. I show up at the bus stop 30 minutes early just to make sure that they don't arrive early and just drop her off. there are so many sickos out there. I have taught her the dangers and been blunt about doing so ,but so many other missing girls mothers and fathers have told them the same things. until we make a sentence that is scary for these freaks they will just keep doing it. they get a slap on the hand while our children die or have mental scars that will never go away. My daughter is getting older I know there's going to be times that I can't be there and she's going to have to make choices that affect her life or lack of life.
This is my 1st time watching your channel. Heard about you from a comment on another true crime channel. Great work!! Now I'm gonna binge your channel.
As someone who was (and is) extremely directionally challenged, my heart breaks for the two girls in the first place. 💔 and the whole "man of god" thing holds no water these days. Just something to hide bad behavior behind imo
I definitely have zero sense of direction and have gotten lost many many times. Thank goodness for cell phones. And totally agree about the bad hiding behind religion
@@HeyIwasaValedictorian I'm sorry to hear 😓 i hope your future is much better! Sometimes we have to learn the hard way. It certainly makes it a one time learning experience. Take care my friend ☺️ Love from Washington State 💞
That's why you have to be on guard within your own soul. There are truly good a holy people but there are others of us who wrestle with evil. It's a battle from the first breath to the last. As a priest I used to go to confess to once told me, evil lurks everywhere and you must be on guard for it but not fixate on it. He had seen a lot of death as a hospital chaplain, people brought in who succumbed to gunshots, random attacks, etc. Still had a great faith in God and people. He was a great guy.
Greetings all, from Yorkshire, England! Looovvvve me some Southern Crime Girl, day or night! If there was one thing you could do to make yourself feel better right now, what would it be?? I need some healing y'all! Thank you!
Hey @lilgorgo! Was just about to ask, then spotted your reply!! Hooray!!! Still the sa!e question! What will you do now to relax and celebrate your achievement?!!😊🇬🇧
So crazy how many characters were involved to throw the scent off the trail of case #1. Since Rena’s lawyer said she was threatened, does that mean the man bhind bars is innocent? I initially thought the cops too for the reason mentioned in the video AND bc they didn’t immediately seek a way to open the trunk. It’s not hard to find a lever to open it from inside if you choose to 👀 look😕
My first thought was what idiot doesn't know that a lot of cars are made for the backseat to pull down for entrance to the trunk. It took them 6 hours to realize it??? Something is way off.
They should have caught Pankey way sooner!! Also, the solved are my fav now vs. unsolved!! I wanna see scumbags caught lol and justice for families. Hearing they died young from a car wreck or illness is always a good feeling that the criminal didn't live a long time!!
Janky Panky broke my Weirdo-Meter even if he didn't do it. Also he is the first I have ever heard to proclaim to be a celibate homosexual. Hey but I learn everyday so...... But he still comes off strange not including his sexuality claim.
What do I think? Consider that he’s innocent - if so, his interest in the murder is ridiculously extreme, lasting for over 30 years. Occam’s Razor has me believing that yes, he did it, he’s guilty.
Hello Southern Girl, would you consider doing a video on Carla Aliotta and Debbie Rosencrans of Chicago? Both were murdered in the 1970s in similiar fashion. Also there are several other teenaged girls murdered around the same time. I went to school with Carla and lived in the same neighborhood as Debbie. So little information is available on line and I feel your channel may shine a light on these cases. Thank you for all you do.
Pankey is definitely a strange, creepy individual regardless of whether he's guilty of Jonelle Matthews' murder or not. If he isn't guilty, it's one heck of a coincidence. My bet is on him.
it's obvious that Pankey killed Jonelle. The fact that they said "He was so close to the case because he has a true crime obsession." NO LMAO!! BULLSHIT! he was uncomfortably close to the case from the start. He claimed he didn't do it just because he didn't know her or her family. But yet still did so much research on the case and yet was so willing to keep talking to the police about the case as if he was a detective his damn self. the fact that he would tell the police details about the case only the police would know...that's one of 3 things: either he did it, he knows who did it or he was involved. that's it. They called a miss trial? no, put this man behind bars, he did the crime.
Ok I’m not freaking out, but in that first story, the girl named Tracie looks a LOT like me. My name is also Tracey. Especially the one where the girls are looking back in the car.
Exactly those are the two signs that had me thinking the same thing a cop because the window was partially down and the license was up on the dashboard
How was that first case “solved”? Still sounds fishy to me. Did the killer dress like a cop? Did fingerprints on the car match? He lived 15 minute walk away and was never questioned or suspected? He’s a truck driver, so did he do other crimes or is that speculation? Little too convenient when a random POC is arrested and a difficult case suddenly solved 🤔 The last case with Panky, is not solved either and needs more evidence, if you ask me.
*Right Now women and children are going through unspeakable acts and I pray and pray that 1 day the GOOD LORD will let me be a ANGEL so I can be there for all of them!👼🏿*
I'm think I'm obsessed with hearing about unsolved cases that are finally getting solved. You do a great job telling these stories.
There’s so many being solved! I’m doing less unsolved ones but I have a loooonng list I have to get to from requests etc
Me too now. This is my new favorite channel.
Southern girl is the best!!😊
i like the solved cases a lot, too. also love the voice.
You absolutely do a great job telling these true stories! My mother and I watch together and she always asks for Southern Girl! No one else will do! Keep up your great work 🤗👍
All of these are so sad but the first one hit home. Those girls were my age, 82 babies, and should have graduated in 2000. Forever 17 🙏🏾 This just breaks my heart so bad. I couldn’t imagine leaving here at 17 in 1999. At 40 I feel so blessed.
It puzzles me why when people hear SCREAMING and odd movements in the townhouse, they didn't call the POLICE! I would have and if it turned out to be nothing, that would be fine because if it HAD been(which it was)a life may have been save or the killer caught!
Me too! I think we must be rare as hen's teeth. As a parent and grandparent I couldn't do anything less because one day it might just be my family needing help! Take care now.
Exactly, as the saying goes - it’s better to be safe than sorry.
I’d rather call and be wrong than to not call and be right.
Maybe because of the bystander effect.
Tell me you grew up in suburbia without telling me you grew up in suburbia and you don't call the cops in the city it's like the number one unspoken rule. You don't call the cops.
💔 For all the victims RIP... also that dude is "crazy as"... I hope that more evidence can be found in Janelle's case... & if that crazy... Is responsible than he stays where he belongs... Behind bars... 😡

Horrible. It's just beyond heartbreaking. And then the killer went onto living free for 20 years.

Hey Everyone on the SCG community, have a wonderful day, be blessed and stay safe!
Good morning everybody!
Nice presentation as usual Southern Girl!!!
Steven Pankey is absolutely nuts. What was that interview?
"I was gonna tell the church she had an abortion without asking me" wooooooow.
The reporter asked Pankey if Jonelle was in his youth group, and all Pankey did was say "no," then went on about his $ex life - too much information!
I’m so happy I found your videos!! I love how you tell the stories of these horrific crimes and get right to the point! You’re awesome and some of these cases are barely on the internet so to even have light shed on them is incredible of you.
Thank you so much 😊
Good morning SG I hope you're having a wonderful day.
When it comes to the case of jonnelle Matthew's I fervently believe that Pankey is guilty.
There have been numerous killers that have insinuated themselves in their victims investigations and Pinky is such an odd character . He just gives off a very icky vibe and I really hope he is brought to Justice.
Thank you for relating these cases to us I appreciate it I hope that you have an excellent week.
Why do I keep thinking that the dad of the friend that took Janelle home was the one who did this crime?
Wow, that dude talking to an interviewer....wtf does his girlfriend, who he was having sex with, flew to England to have an abortion (this was the late 70s, abortions were legal here by then), came back and they had sex right away when she got back.....like whoa, nobody asked about that ish, dude.
Right! Then he says he took his son out of the church because of the Matthew’s family and the turns around and says they didn’t start going there until a year later
One thing I would say, there's never closure for the families.
Exactly senseless murder ugh spot on again. Great content I like when you add little things like that or call them scum
Well Done!
👍💯👍
The audacity of these monsters to kill and take folks lives.
Your coverage of these crimes is spot on, concise, direct and empathetic. The murder of the two young girls was bizarre. I also think their murderer pulled them over posing as law enforcement. What a senseless, cruel act. He killed two beautiful young kids who had their whole lives ahead of them.....for no reason at all.
thank you for the awessome work into another great video
Another great video ❤
Thank you ❤️
I am so concerned about my daughter. I show up at the bus stop 30 minutes early just to make sure that they don't arrive early and just drop her off. there are so many sickos out there. I have taught her the dangers and been blunt about doing so ,but so many other missing girls mothers and fathers have told them the same things. until we make a sentence that is scary for these freaks they will just keep doing it. they get a slap on the hand while our children die or have mental scars that will never go away. My daughter is getting older I know there's going to be times that I can't be there and she's going to have to make choices that affect her life or lack of life.
that youth pastor is lying,he did it.
thanks for another great video. love your voice by the way ❤️
My Favourite Crime Channel!!!WR🇦🇺❤️🙏👊🏼
Thanks Jake!
This is my 1st time watching your channel. Heard about you from a comment on another true crime channel. Great work!! Now I'm gonna binge your channel.
Welcome to the channel! ❤️
As someone who was (and is) extremely directionally challenged, my heart breaks for the two girls in the first place. 💔 and the whole "man of god" thing holds no water these days. Just something to hide bad behavior behind imo
I definitely have zero sense of direction and have gotten lost many many times. Thank goodness for cell phones. And totally agree about the bad hiding behind religion
A man is a man, before he is anything else! That includes a man of God, a man of the police dept, a teacher and so on....
@@jodyljohnson8515 well said! I've had to learn the hard way that a man cannot be trusted.
@@HeyIwasaValedictorian I'm sorry to hear 😓 i hope your future is much better! Sometimes we have to learn the hard way. It certainly makes it a one time learning experience. Take care my friend ☺️ Love from Washington State 💞
That's why you have to be on guard within your own soul. There are truly good a holy people but there are others of us who wrestle with evil. It's a battle from the first breath to the last. As a priest I used to go to confess to once told me, evil lurks everywhere and you must be on guard for it but not fixate on it. He had seen a lot of death as a hospital chaplain, people brought in who succumbed to gunshots, random attacks, etc. Still had a great faith in God and people. He was a great guy.
People not wanting to get involved is only helpful to the criminals. Let's not do that that's probably why so many cases are taking decades to solve.
How true. We all need to be good neighbors and citizens
Is it weird I watch these in the morning before going to work 🤣
I’m watching it while I’m working
Watch/listen on my drive to work every morning lol
Greetings all, from Yorkshire, England! Looovvvve me some Southern Crime Girl, day or night! If there was one thing you could do to make yourself feel better right now, what would it be?? I need some healing y'all! Thank you!
A good book!
About to go to my first day at a new job after months out of work...giving myself a big hug, patting my arms and telling myself "you can do this"
@@lilgorgo yes you can!
@@SouthernGirlCrimeStories thanks so much, made it through! Sending even more hugs to everyone here
Hey @lilgorgo! Was just about to ask, then spotted your reply!! Hooray!!! Still the sa!e question! What will you do now to relax and celebrate your achievement?!!😊🇬🇧
So crazy how many characters were involved to throw the scent off the trail of case #1. Since Rena’s lawyer said she was threatened, does that mean the man bhind bars is innocent? I initially thought the cops too for the reason mentioned in the video AND bc they didn’t immediately seek a way to open the trunk. It’s not hard to find a lever to open it from inside if you choose to 👀 look😕
My first thought was what idiot doesn't know that a lot of cars are made for the backseat to pull down for entrance to the trunk. It took them 6 hours to realize it??? Something is way off.
Love your videos. Hope u get to feeling better soon. Covid isn't no fun
Well Done!
Thanks, SG.
Dothan isn’t far from my home and I’ve got family in Headland and Dothan area. ❤ I’m happy to hear these cases have been solved. ❤
Yeah, if you hear screaming...just ignore it..carry on..you kind people you!!!!!
Pankey was found guilty on October 31st
JB was one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. Something about her is both stately and cheerful at the same time.
Wow........Panky guy.......full blown nuts!!
Yes he is!
Who can kill their grandmother. Omg
thank you
Thanks S.G.C.S.🌻💛
His response to the reporters question had nothing to do with her being in his class or not.
A cop took six hours to find a trunk latch?
I love solved cases!!
They should have caught Pankey way sooner!! Also, the solved are my fav now vs. unsolved!! I wanna see scumbags caught lol and justice for families. Hearing they died young from a car wreck or illness is always a good feeling that the criminal didn't live a long time!!
Janky Panky broke my Weirdo-Meter even if he didn't do it. Also he is the first I have ever heard to proclaim to be a celibate homosexual. Hey but I learn everyday so...... But he still comes off strange not including his sexuality claim.
Anyone know why a r@pe charge brought against him by a female church member was dropped?
What do I think?
Consider that he’s innocent - if so, his interest in the murder is ridiculously extreme, lasting for over 30 years.
Occam’s Razor has me believing that yes, he did it, he’s guilty.
It took the cops 6 hours to find the Lash for the trunk?
Hello Southern Girl, would you consider doing a video on Carla Aliotta and Debbie Rosencrans of Chicago? Both were murdered in the 1970s in similiar fashion. Also there are several other teenaged girls murdered around the same time. I went to school with Carla and lived in the same neighborhood as Debbie. So little information is available on line and I feel your channel may shine a light on these cases. Thank you for all you do.
I will see what I can do!
Thank you.
It took them 6 hours to figure out that there was an interior latch inside the car for the trunk??? That's not a new "thing".
Good and sad stories. FYI, Reading, PA is pronounced like Redding, CA, not like reading a book.
Pankey is definitely a strange, creepy individual regardless of whether he's guilty of Jonelle Matthews' murder or not. If he isn't guilty, it's one heck of a coincidence. My bet is on him.
it's obvious that Pankey killed Jonelle. The fact that they said "He was so close to the case because he has a true crime obsession." NO LMAO!! BULLSHIT! he was uncomfortably close to the case from the start. He claimed he didn't do it just because he didn't know her or her family. But yet still did so much research on the case and yet was so willing to keep talking to the police about the case as if he was a detective his damn self. the fact that he would tell the police details about the case only the police would know...that's one of 3 things: either he did it, he knows who did it or he was involved. that's it. They called a miss trial? no, put this man behind bars, he did the crime.
That first case was wierd.the window on the girls car was half way down and the license on the dashboard.
Ok I’m not freaking out, but in that first story, the girl named Tracie looks a LOT like me. My name is also Tracey. Especially the one where the girls are looking back in the car.
Exactly those are the two signs that had me thinking the same thing a cop because the window was partially down and the license was up on the dashboard
How was that first case “solved”? Still sounds fishy to me. Did the killer dress like a cop? Did fingerprints on the car match? He lived 15 minute walk away and was never questioned or suspected? He’s a truck driver, so did he do other crimes or is that speculation?
Little too convenient when a random POC is arrested and a difficult case suddenly solved 🤔
The last case with Panky, is not solved either and needs more evidence, if you ask me.
Yes he killed that little girl
Wow. I'm from Sacramento. I am a Paratransit driver there. I dropped a passenger off on Bell Street last night
*Right Now women and children are going through unspeakable acts and I pray and pray that 1 day the GOOD LORD will let me be a ANGEL so I can be there for all of them!👼🏿*
