  • Over the last two decades, an elusive serial killer has stalked the streets of Chicago. With over 50 victims, this prolific serial killer has left an indelible mark on the city, and some have named him the "Chicago Strangler."

    This potential serial killer was first discovered by Thomas Hargrove and the Murder Accountability Project. Hargrove, a veteran journalist, developed groundbreaking technology that uses data analysis to identify patterns in unsolved murders across the United States. Hargrove's innovative approach identifies clusters of unsolved killings according to victimology, methodology, and geography. He effectively identified serial killer Darren Deon Vann, which eventually led to his arrest and conviction.
    The Murder Accountability Project identified Chicago as having one of the largest clusters of unsolved killings. The victims, predominantly African-American women from marginalized communities, have been found across the city of Chicago, regularly discovered in vacant lots, abandoned buildings, and dumpsters. The victims included Nancy Walker, Gwendolyn Williams, Reo Holyfield, Theresa Bunn, Hazel Lewis, and Margaret Gomez. They were frequently strangled and abandoned in the dark corners of the city.
    The chilling mystery of the Chicago Strangler case is riddled with potential suspects, each with a haunting history of violence. Among these are convicted murderers Andre Crawford, Geoffrey Griffin, Vincent Hudson, and Larry Bright. Each of these individuals has a disturbing track record of targeting the same demographic of victims as the Chicago Strangler, employing eerily similar methods of murder.
    Hargrove has suggested that Darren Deon Vann could be responsible for the Illinois cold cases. Vann confessed to a series of murders in Indiana that bear a striking resemblance to the Chicago Strangler killings. His victims were primarily African-American women involved in sex work or battling addiction, a profile that mirrors the victims of the Chicago Strangler. His confirmed victims were Afrikka Hardy, Anith Jones, Teaira Batey, Kristine Williams, Tracy Martin, Sonya Billingsley, and Tanya Gatlin. Despite these uncanny similarities, the search for concrete evidence linking Vann to the Chicago murders continues, leaving the case shrouded in mystery and uncertainty.
    Some suspect that a single perpetrator may not be responsible, but instead, these victims are the result of systemic issues, from racial and class bias to the challenges faced by law enforcement agencies in solving cold cases. It's a call for justice, a plea for answers, and a testament to the resilience of those who refuse to let these victims be forgotten.

    I’m an Uber driver in Chicago. When I first moved here I really needed the money so I would drive late and throughout the south and west side of the city as well into the south burbs.
    Before I ever heard about this case I was near 119th avenue around 11:30 pm and I pick up this woman. She was going to the casino, we had a nice conversation on our way. At some point she begins telling me about how a body ended up in the dumpster right around her block as well as details of this case.
    It sent shivers down my spine but I thought maybe it was just a random coincidence.
    Well I would end up hearing more of these stories from people around the way that would put to doubt any uncertainty.

    Another thing to love about this channel is that you mention each of the victims names and humanize people that have been forgotten about and are just statistics. That’s what made your other videos like the I-65 Killer, I-70 Killer, Route 8 Killer etc. so enthralling yet emotional. When the videos end you feel sad like you were there but almost relieved they were over.

    Listen, as a native Chicagoan, I can talk about the broken city politics of this place for days. While I wouldn't doubt that perhaps there was one or two individuals responsible for a handful of the cases in this list, I also know that Chicago has a deeply broken and biased system when it comes to criminal justice. This is probably one of the most segregated cities in the country. The areas that you listed where a majority of these victims were found are notoriously impoverished areas of the city with a majority of blacks living in those neighborhoods, especially Washington Park. This city will fall all over itself to try and talk about all the shiny new attractions and tourist traps they've got going on in the downtown area, but when it comes to actually giving a damn about the people who live in this city year round, the actual blue collar workers that make this place run, well, the city and it's politics will always turn a blind eye. There is such a vast juxtaposition between the extremely wealthy neighborhoods and the extremely poor neighborhoods that it's literally like night and day. And unfortunately I've seen first hand that Chicago has and continues to toss those that are the most vulnerable to the side and pretend that they are invisible.

      Well, those are areas such predators seek! Take the infamous Jack the Ripper, hunting prostitutes in the poorest area of London, when you're in a place with such tightly packed poverty, crimes and sex job it's easier to find a victim staying unnoticed and potentially this victim won't be reported for weeks after, or, as we see here, police won't really care about solving it as they have too much going on.

  • @zombiebrained
    @zombiebrained 11 місяців тому +46

    Maybe the killer is a police officer. That explains why the Chicago PD is unwilling to investigate these murders and also why the perpetrator was able to avoid leaving behind DNA evidence, or if he did then somebody helped him cover it up.

      I seriously doubt it. I think most of them are unrelated. 18 out of the 51 had DNA and it was all unrelated and didn't match anyone in the system. That should tell you something. Also all the areas these women were found in are dangerous not being a drug addicted sex worker. So imagine how more dangerous they are being one.

    Absolutely incredible video as always, and you did such a good job at trying to find pictures of the women that showed them in better times in their life, it's easy to find the first picture you come across that's likely during a time when they were struggling, but for example the mother of the 2 boys who was killed in 2014, that's definitely not a particularly recent picture, but it shows her at a better time. It shows you're a good person
    My one constructive note is that the backing music for this video did become a bit grating with that one particular sound occuring every couple of seconds. Would love if a different bed could be used in to it. But again, that's the only thing about this video that isn't absolutely amazing. You should be so damn proud. You are doing amazing work

    Very well done and interesting video! Sadly, I do have to reject the "Chicago strangler" theory, as many of the cases don't seem to connect in any way. So, IMO, there's either multiple serial killers and a few nonrelated cases (like the woman who was dismembered), one serial killer and a bunch of unrelated cases, or they're all unrelated to each other. In any event, its a horrifying thing that the murders of over 50 women remain unsolved.

    Women in general that are doing prostitution are seen as less. Personally i believe cops don't bother because their"jhons" are sometimes people of certain positions and they just rather not rock the boat. I think it was last year in Florida in a prostitution sting a judge was one of the "Johns" on that list. So its deeper than what you think.

    It may be possible that the guy responsible for the most of these murders is still killing, but left the strangulation part behind him, as known typically strangulation is used by sexually active males and those with problems prefer using knives as a surrogate of their genitals. Victims were getting older and 19 year is a long streak to have, if he's already an older man, but not old enough to fully stop, commiting attacks with a weapon would make sense also as a way to control a oman who may try to overpower him.

    I think it's one of the worst thing's for someone to lose their life's and never get their death or location figured out. I think investigators should do more to find answers for the victim's family, over "caring about official sentencing by trial" *there is only so much that a trail can do about a serial killer, life sentence/death penalty, etc. So we really should focus more on finding answers about all the victims rather than just punishment.. let life in prison be there, then get any answers you can from them. Its beyond important to find closure for the family of the victims.

    Unfortunately, I don’t think this is the case of a serial killer. My sister went to college in Chicago and she had a black roommate that got physically assaulted by a homeless man on one of the trains. She talked to the police but they didn’t really care, and it made her terrified to go out alone and she only lasted a semester. The Chicago police does not care about black women and never takes any of their claim seriously.

      I've always felt like it's unlikely ALL of these women were killed by the same killer, but within this cluster of unsolved murders it's extremely likely there is a serial killer responsible for a large chunk of them.
      This case has always reminded me of the Grim Sleeper, another case where police didn't really care about the victims at all. He got away with it for 25 years before his son was arrested for a violent crime and they took his DNA as per California law, then they figured out that whoever his sons' father was committed those murders.
      It really can be astounding how many serial killers have racked up heavy body counts due to police not caring enough to fully investigate their crimes.

    I lived in Chicago from 2014 to 2019. I would read the newspapers back to back and it was very apparent that there was a serial killer, targeting black women in poorer neighbourhoods. The MO was also clear, leaving half naked, them in dumpsters or abandoned buildings. That's just from reading the paper - how can the Chicago PD deny there is a pattern? Or that there is a serial killer? I will tell you why, because Chicago PD is both institutionally racist and classist, and woefully underfunded. Moreover, the whole policing system is a fractured joke. No national crime database, lack of cross jurisdiction cooperation and poorly trained officers. I am very sad about this because it's a wonderful city of great people.

    I think it was a cop or former officer. It could explain the situation not being taken seriously as an officer could have influenced the decision made in the investigation as well as given the department the motivation to not take action in the cases. I know accusing an officer is cliche and viewed as being nonsensical but it could also explain why there seems to be an expertise on behalf of the murder. An officer would know with their training what not to do. As well as could be a racial bias in the officer that caused the victims to be mostly black. Again I know this is pure speculation but remember the golden state killer was also an officer.

    I find it hard to believe that a man managed to singlehandedly murder 51 women and not make a single error that could lead the police to him. Being this prolific and still remaining unidentified without even a police sketch or description is highly unlikely which would lead any reasonable person to the conclusion that the Chicago PD wasn't even trying.

    I hate speculating but I think it's an obvious sexual motivation, 75% of the victims being undressed or sexually assaulted. The different method of asphyxiation such as rope, plastic bag, seatbelts, electrical cord, etc suggest some kind of experimentation. Serial killer usually stick with one or two methods of killing that work unless they need to change for some reason.
    I think the serial killer isn't working alone, it might be a 'two-man job' with two victims sometimes appearing within the same day on more than one occasion.
    The thought that it's two or more unrelated serial killers targeting the same demographic from the same location is terrifying but is not impossible and should not be ruled out, I think in the same way The Freeway Killer was three independent serial killers.

  • @vincentellsworth7905

    I dont think ALL of these are related; seems kinda off that the killer once dismembered a body, wrapped one in duct tape and a comforter, set one on fire but most of the time just left them in an alley... HIGHLY improbable for a serial killer to shift his M.O. back and forth like that
    also in some of the cases the police found DNA and I'm assuming that if ANY of the cases had matching DNA you would have said so...

It was a pitch black besides a dim yellow light on a factory and I just knew something wasn’t right and she felt it too and got scared I immediately started driving and told her I wasn’t going to leave you anywhere weird like that.
