I was abducted & sexually abused in the early eighties … i thought he was going to kill me! I remember begging him to spare my life … He was a total stranger… this sickness and demonic attack on innocence has troubled me all my life! I am 55 now and fight to rescue children and expose evil! The trauma I went through was evident all my life! Children still suffer so many atrocities to this day! Lord help us rescue the children ! ❤
Well done! Informative and thorough. I’m a Baby Boomer who grew up in Chicago and we were always reminded when we went out to be careful so we wouldn’t end up like the Grimes girls. Very sad stories.
Wow. How did you make it through the Richard Speck murders? I don’t think I could ever walked down the streets by myself again if I lived in Chicago after that tragedy.
@@MeeMee-gz5vp Overall we kids weren’t scared growing up in my era: murders like the Grimes girls and the others didn’t make the news as frequently as they happen nowadays. The fact that this excellent video presents these terrible crimes all at once makes it seem like we were always scared to go out. Not so. But because the Grimes girls tragic deaths were so well publicized, our parents were more keenly aware of them: hence the warnings. My mom and dad gave my siblings and myself a wonderful childhood. Growing up I always felt loved and safe EXCEPT for the three days between the time we learned about Speck’s brutal murders of the student nurses and when the young intern who was treating what he thought was another vagrant until he saw the tattoo “ Born to raise hell” and knew from the news reports that it was Richard Speck and called the police, is the only time I remember being scared to go outside even to our backyard. We had never heard of a group murder this vicious before. The relief we all felt when Speck was arrested was genuine.👍🏾
Thank you for using real footage and photos for this story. These children should have grown up, married, had children, and grandchildren. God bless them, and their families, may they rest in peace.
I really appreciate the level of professional detail you go into when covering these cases. You gather, edit & use a ton of authentic images of the case & other forms of relevant media. It really helps convey a sorta detective perspective to these cases. Keep up the great work.
@@rhiannas1355There was a warning before the video played, so if you don't know what to expect then switch off. People that are into crime documentaries like to see every detail, i personally had to fast forward but not going to complain because as i said we were warned.
Well it's crazy cuz if you don't look up videos so you don't see the s*** every day it's weird looking at video clips of these things going on when they haven't caught the person yet or when they actually caught them years later
Of course, they don't want you to know about this. It's funny how they blame us broths for Chicago being messed up but it always has been. Especially The St. Valentine's Day Massacre, that was brutal and that was in the "Roarin' Twenties"😮
I'm from a small town in the south and murders like this happen in small towns. The police, for the most part, are born and raised in the surrounding area and a lot of them are not properly trained on how to handle murder investigations. Small towns aren't like big cities where there's a homicide every day. Small towns rarely ever experience homicides. Sadly, I have an uncle who was murdered in the small town I'm from, he was only 32 years old when he died. His case has never been solved, but our family pretty much knows what happened to him. He married a woman who was 8 years older and she had two teenage sons. When they married she was working for an insurance company in town and right after they were married she took out an insurance policy on him and it wasn't long after that he was supposedly killed while "cleaning one of his guns". We think that it was one of her teenage sons who killed him so that she could collect the insurance money. My uncle had owned and been around guns his whole life. His death was ruled as 'undetermined' and she was never able to collect the insurance money. My uncle was the kindest soul, hard working and would help anyone who asked. He would have given you the shirt off his back if you asked him for it. .
Any wonder why they didn't catch this killer more quickly or at all? All of that sorrow because some newspaper men needed to meet the newspaper editors "deadlines".
When I was about 10 and 11 in 1969/70 I was nearly kidnapped within seconds of being rescued by my mother, the first time it was a white van with a couple in their 30/40s , the second time it was a man in his 50s parked two houses down on a busy late afternoon when there was bingo going on in the church and the whole street was filled with parked cars, for some reason both times my mother had the instinct to check on me, I definitely know if it hadn't been for my mother I wouldn't be here today 🥴
I had a similar experience involving Danny Heinrich in Minnesota when I was 13. I had 3 nasty encounters with him, once with 2 other friends on our bikes. My mom and I were there for 2 weeks on vacation and flew home, saving my life likely.
Makes me wonder why the string of kidnappings? I believe there was also a surge of kidnappings during the 1980s. Children have never, truly been safe, it seems.
@@ConnieHeartsValentino I *know* that nothing has changed but the time & the source (all forms) info & location of info coming from & the focus & data (what is collected, how, what constitutes *the title* given to each individual (missing & etc) it is all bias & not equal on narrative of so many factors. what is the same is: HYPE !!! up playing or down playing... when on a whole *EVERRRRYTHING MATTERS* an a noun should not decide anything. it's all based on $$$ is what's sad.
I cannot imagine the trauma of having to identify your child’s body after they were murdered, but to have to do it at the scene with journalists snapping your photo? I just feel so awful for those parents. All those reporters were just there to get the scoop with no regard for what the parents were going through. I suppose it’s slightly better today now that cops don’t allow them to trample crime scenes, they at least have to maintain some distance.
The police have come along way thank God but those police back then had a tough job & they were learning how to solve crime as fast as they could but it just wasn't fast enough. It's amazing that any parent was able to survive after their child was butchered by some sick monster !
Tiffany Sessions disappeared from Gainesville Florida while jogging in 1990 or 91. Her mother has gone to identify remains over 700 times in the 3 decades since then. She's never been found. Imagine having to do that 700 times.
I definitely believe there's more than one child ender. Because if you look at the statistics and the psychology of child SAers it's extremely EXTREMELY rare, to the point where it's almost unheard of, for a pr.ed.a.tor to prey on children of both genders. Predators usually choose one gender and age and stick to it. I definitely believe because of the difference in ages between the youngest and the oldest and the different genders, that there was definitely more than one predator at work.

People think the 50s 60s 70s 80s were a golden period for children and they were safe. They weren’t. Children were not believed predators got away with it. It seems worse for children in the present day because we know this evil is all around us and mostly the children are taken seriously and the predator gets punished but not to harshly in the uk anyway.
We have always had evil in the world. Today, technology has given us the ability to reach far and wide with news, information, and communication regarding these horrible happenings. However, I feel evil has infiltrated more and more undeveloped souls in this world. People don't parent as they should, the OWO agenda, these are a few things that have broken us down. God bless the souls that met with this evil.
True. Parents thought that they were doing good by warning kids about "stranger danger.". Over 90% of s*xual assaults and molestation occurred with people that the kids know. The illusion of innocence and safety made it a perverts paradise unfortunately.
I think it's because news is more national and international now. If you look at newspapers from that era, coverage was more locally focused with only national or regional stories if they were big deals.
I grew up in Chicago in the 60s i was 5 when i was almost taken..i was pushing a shopping cart through a gangway and had the man blocked from getting ahold of me..i ran screaming! But days later the body of a girl was found in a garbage can behind the building i lived in..the man lived in the building behind where i lived! We moved after that!
Did the police find the murderer of the girl who was found? Even if the mans attack on you isn't itself proof of his involvement, just putting him in the radar could lead to more "clews" and conviction. It's not too late to go to the police or call crime stoppers to relate your story especially if you know the address the man was living in. If you don't remember the addresses you can use Google maps to figure them out. I imagine every monster rightfully put away deters some would be criminals and more certainly frees up resources or uncovers evidence of other crimes that could be solved...
@@kimispretty1 It's not a bad plan. Even IF the police listen and due a proper investigation- not likely, Dean Korl (or however it's spelled) got away with his crimes for years because the police were so eager to claim the victim must have run away every time that they were basically extra accomplices, and they stopped looking for bodies after finding the number his accomplices knew about even though his accomplices knew he'd taken victims on his own and there's evidence he started killing earlier than we know for sure- the investigation would take time. TIme in which you'd have to be afraid for your child every second of every day. So much easier and quicker to just move. (As for the evidence that there are more victims yet to me found- a bone was found in a house he's used to live in, for example, and then there's the constant nighttime burials of "defective candy" at his mother's candy factory that no one ever looked into. But they refused to keep looking because they already looked bad enough as it was.)
Imagine being an adult in the 1950's and 1960's. You survived The Great Depression AND WWII, only to then lose your child in the most gruesome and horrific way. Life can be so cruel sometimes.
Well you would have had to been a baby born at the end in 1939 and have been 20 yrs old when you had that child that went missing. One in a million on that one. Great Depression 1929-1939
@@derekpam7149 That's why I said "survived" The Great Depression. Meaning they lived through it, not born at the tail end of it as you are trying to suggest. Don't twist my words okay.
Siblings were killed among them and that is even more sadder for the parent. It is bad enough to lose one child but to lose two then it made the Dad of those brothers go crazy. Maybe since that Silas Jaynes knew about his stable employee killing those boys then he demanded that employee to go seek girls for him. The way the sisters were dumped naked and the boys the same way make me feel they were connected.
The dad didnt go "crazy". He was understandably experiencing enormous grief. That instead of helping him cope with losing both boys and in such a horrible way, they friggin electrocuted him to death!
The man who killed the boys in the 50s moved to the south suburbs. Makes you wonder if he killed anyone else in the later years , there are unsolved murders in the south suburbs as well.
Dude!!!. The dad had a perfectly normal reaction to his sons being murdered. So those idiots killed him too and said he 'died from a broken heart'.... while they just happened to be torturing the shit out of him.....
@RoyPage1970 It's mostly Reagan, Nixon, the Bushes, the Clintons, Senator Biden and the Neocon and Ziōnist movements that chipped away at American society being civil. Trump is just an irrelevant after-effect.
@@barbarajohnson3876 Some countries are more dangerous than others. Some of us do not live in America where the people have become accustomed to violence. Where I live, in Spain, we are the 31st of European countries' murder rates with 0.61 per 100,000. In contrast, the USA has a murder rate of 6.38 but this figure does not include murders or genocide outside of the USA in which the American government is complicit.
Beautiful work yet again. This series you do is absolutely stellar-- keep it up! We'll wait for as long as it takes. Something about these 1950's ones are so unsettling against the backdrop of the sort of easy-going attitude of the '50's.
The level of torture those children went through is horrifying! I know that the boy scouts and lay people wanted to help, but I can't help but imagine how many crime scenes were contaminated. It is so weird to see the graphic photos of naked dead children on the front page of the newspaper.
This was a fascinating watch. It made me cringe to see the footage of the cops and reporters clustering around the active crime scenes. I'm glad they prevent that from happening these days, doing so could have led to more clues.
I’ve heard of the Grimes sister. My dad told me the story maybe in the 1980’s. He remembers the murders of the girls on Old German Church Road. But I thought one of the late night crime shows said it was solved a few years ago. Or maybe it was determined that they had a good idea who did it. I thought it was three boys who did it. At the time the one boy who is now an old man said they did it. Two of them were dead by this time and the remaining man not doing well.
I thought I'd seen it all when it came to "vintage crime-scene photos," but at 3:38 my jaw hit the floor. "What the....are you INSANE?" was my very first thought. I had to rewind and look again to see whether it were just some store mannequins in a pile. Unbelievable even by the tabloid-journalism standards of the mid-20th century. With all the good-old-days nostalgia for past times in America, people just keep forgetting how rough this country really was.
I was kind of shocked by this as well, but this photograph of the three dead boys was NOT printed in a newspaper! The person who put this video together edited the police crime-scene picture with the newspaper story, making it look like they were published together. I'm surprised that this police photo somehow got released to be available to be reused this way.
@@themonstersmummy I don't think it's the point of highlighting the picture. Anyone who saw this video so the picture. I just can't believe what I'm seeing. I'm glad to know it was not printed in the newspaper
That May reverse itself in years to come because of DNA technology. Folks know they will eventually get caught, even if it still may take twenty years or so.
Wow ! This was so interesting. My grandma would always tell me you don't want to end up like the Grimes sister. Now at 63 years old I now know what happened. Thank God for keeping me safe and out of harms way. May all the victims find peace in heaven 😢
@@Imissyoulou as I said, not like this days. They’ve already kown about fingerprints for example. They could analyse hair, skin tissue and they knew about blood groups. It was forensic science in the making, but still there. I can only imagine how forensic science will look like in another hundred years or so, unless we destroy our civilisation.
Great video the old photos and music combined with the dark subject matter, actually creeped me out a lot. It is really disturbing to stop and think about how many people we walk amongst that have these dark fantasies, and are capable of acting on them. My heart goes out too all of the innocent children in these stories.
Thank you for a thorough presentation with relevant stock footage. So many 'true crime' creators try to sensationalize the story while at the same time edit out all pertinent crime terms. I applaud a crime channel who isnt afraid to say "murder".
I've worked in facilities back in the 70's that had people in them that had been lobotomized, overdosed on thorazine and electroshocked into brain damage. In the 40's through the 60's mental hospitals were slaughterhouses. Every type of diagnoses was thrown together and the treatments were not standardized or even prescribed by competent physicians. Now of course, mental patients live on the streets. Which is worse?
@@PsilliPig,I had ECT for 9 months in 2012 after my second Son died and I lost 30 yrs of memories ,I cannot imagine what these things were like back then ,but they stole my life.
I don't know ~ one of the most ridiculous ones I've heard was that the man strangled his girlfriend to death by "accident" and no it wasn't during some sex act
Very well done documentary. Please consider doing more cases like these. In this DNA age who knows what cases might be solved when daylight is shining on them
People don’t also realize this but I just learned through my forensic anthropology class DNA evidence is usually the last resort, mainly because it they need damage the body to get it
It's nice to have such a well executed true crime documentary. Wthout the disrespectful sensationalism, stark bias or a schizotypal conspiracy angle. Just well researched information delivered in a very professional format. Well done. You should definitely do more.
Please make more True Crime documentaries. This was incredibly well made and a case most haven't heard of. You have a talent here. Subscribed & Liked based off this video. I hope to see more from you. This channel will grow in time, I promise you that. Also I'm not saying you have to only do true crime, but if you keep up this quality of documentaries, I will for sure watch.
What I LOVE about this, is that you show the actual pictures WITH THE ADDRESSES. Due to my experiences of working in transportation, (CTA) and the postal service, I know the ENTIRE city and the surrounding areas. I was aware of where the Grimes Sisters lived. You showed the old house and the same house with a new front on it. Evertime I'm at 35th and Damen, I get a funny feeling thinking about the girls. Judith Anderson's home is still standing also.
One of the best reports ever. A tremendous amount of research, gathering film evidence, scripting and assembling into what we see. Truly great work. Great channel.
My grandpa was a truck driver and he told me stories all about his travels. He drove by a murdered body and had to call the cops. He also seen people decapitated, a truck full of kids wrecked and kill them, someone wrecked into his truck as a type of suicide (attempted suicide on their part. Not my grandpa). A buddy seen someone in a motorcycle speeding and slammed into a power pole. He died right in front of him and we were probably in like 6th grade. Rough stuff
I was just digging through my feed to see if I missed any of my regular channels uploads and I saw this. Now that I have view your channel a little bit you now have a new subscriber
That video about the Chicago child murders was one of the most informative & well constructed videos I have ever seen anywhere, amazing job & thank you for the amount of time you put into it to try & show the possible connections to other crimes around the same time !
I was in grade school during the time of the Oakland County child killings. My father one morning on his way to work was stopped at Vermont street and 12 Mile road when he saw a light blue Gremlin with a white hockey stripe drive by in the fog without lights on going west on 12 Mile road. He told us he had a very strange feeling that something was telling him someone was in danger. But he was late for work and decided to call the police from there. The police said they would investigate but nothing ever came of it. Later on a boy was discovered murdered on the west side of Metro Detroit and my father always recounted that morning regretting that he didn’t follow that car and investigate it himself.
Same and I used to process and print crime scene photos for the police. It’s entirely unnecessary to include those images. And my heart breaks for the families who had to see those photos on the front page of the newspaper.
I remember in the late 1970's the serial killer John Wayne Gacy was arrested for killing 28-30 male victim's. The young men were found under his house and another 2 or 3 under the patio because John had ran out of room. The video that was shown on the news was mind boggling with the police bringing victim after victim out of the house. I agree with one comment that the so called tranquility of the 50-70's really didn't exist sadly. I didn't know anything about this case and it's a interesting one because all of the victim's couldn't be tied to one person, when in fact it fairly well could have been. Rest in Peace to All Victims of Crime 🕊️
@@patrickmonahan-rj2kn Oh, I didn't know that and thank you for the info. Once last person I wanted to mention was Serial killer Dorothy Puente in Sacramento, CA around 1988. Dorothy killed up to 8 mentally ill boarder's at the Board and Care she was operating. I was living Sacramento at the time and even had a chance to see her house after her arrest and trust me it looked liked a really cute house nothing evil. My friend called me to make sure I was okay because I often would live in places like that. I told her I was fine and I never lived there and both of us sighed in relief. One look at Dorothy you would think she was someone's grandmother and not a evil monster. The motive in the murders was money as she would steal their disability checks when they came to the house. The victim's often had no family and the case blew wide open after a Social Worker kept inquiring about one of her clients. A search warrant was issued because the Social Worker noticed irregularities in the garden and front yard. I think I could have been a good detective back in the day and probably would focus on capturing Serial killers.
My brother and I were stalked on the highway and nearly abducted by a serial killer driving a yellow Volkswagen , I can’t remember where in Florida but it was hot, I was 9 and my little brother was 7 we ran and had to climb over a dead cow that was in a dry creek bed it stunk real bad. The serial killer stopped his car and yelled out to me and my brother, he said your mommy is sick in hospital come with me! we ran and had to hide in a corn field! Bill Joe ran out of the corn field, as he wanted to go with man to see our mom but I threw a rock at my brother’s head to stop him going to the serial killer. I didn’t mean to kill my little brother! It was an accident I swear! I hid in the corn field until the serial killer left. I put my brother’s body under the dead cow. I told my parents he ran away and they believed me!😮 (I didn’t have the heart to tell my parents what really happened, I didn’t want to upset them).
I am a Chicago native and live pretty close to Jefferson Park. I was unaware of this piece of the cities history so thank you for covering this. History As tragic as this story is it deserves to be remembered and treated with respect.
If he was sedated (not always a certainty in pre 70s ECT) they probably used metohexitone, which can cause heart arrhythmia on its own like all barbiturates, combined with botched ECT and the dad's physical condition, would cause the cardiac arrest or myocardial infarction. There's a lot of factors but ECT is always risky even by modern methods. A tonic clinic seizure can also induce arrhythmia in its own right. And don't forget respiratory problems caused by over sedation, poor airway control (it's nearly always done with a second doctor just focused on sedation and airway, with the primary doctor (ie the psychiatrist) administering the ECT. In the bad old days they basically plugged you into the mains with no emergency equipment like in an OR.) It was a drastic treatment even then, just as antidepressants were coming to mainstream use. Its really only used on catatonia, ante-post natal depression (anti depressants take a few weeks to kick in and also avoids drugging the baby by proxy) or some other emergent situation. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is a fairly good depiction but it used to be used for lots of other illnesses and behaviours that were considered deviant with a unstated punitive subtext.
Very well done. I live in Chicago and didn't hear of some of these. I also appreciate the on location shots too, they put the locations in perspective. Most won't go to these neighborhoods because they have been bad for 60 years at least in terms of crime, murder, robbery, and others offenses.
Jefferson Park, montrose harbor and burr-ridge are not bad areas! Are you from actual Chicago or a suburb? I grew up in Gladstone Park as did my dad (which was a polish neighborhood forever, now more Hispanic) which is right next to Jefferson park. The north and north-west side of the city are fine. Burr ridge isn't even chicago, it's a suburb and not a 'neighborhood' saying these areas haven't been safe for 60 years at least is absurd! We may have differing opinions which I can respect, but saying the north side hasn't been safe for 60+ years is 100% not true! Englewood you're very correct though lol
Wow. Just discovered you. The amount of detail you go into is breathtaking. I particularly enjoyed how you showed us what the places look like now. Your research must take for ever. Great stuff. Going to check out your channel
I think im more disturbed that they electroshock therapied the dad to death in the "sanitoruim" . You expect deranged killers to do horrible things.....you dont expect the professionals supposedly helping to do horrible things. To die like that after having to endure his 3 kids murdered like that all once, ugh. Poor people.
What about Joe Kennedy sending his daughter for the LOBOTOMY! That should curl your hair thinking it was ok because she was more than likely bipolar or schizophrenic…..ughhhhh…Joe Kennedy was an evil father!!
The 2 girls that were killed after seeing a movie was very sad( as all the others) Elvis, himself , probably was very sad about his fans . Very good of him to speak out for their return. So sad as I never realized some may be connected
Native Chicago girl, grew up in the Garfield Park on the West Side in the 70's and 80's. Boy am I glad my elders were like " momma bears". Super protective.
Of these cases I have only heard of the Grimes sisters which has been covered often. And the Brach case, and the Indiana Dunes case which have also been covered a lot. It puts things into a different perspective to know about all these other cases that happened around the same time and are also unsolved.
My Mom was very wise. I thought she was overprotective. No she just loved me enough to keep me home and in her sight!! I was born In 64. I was not allowed to roam the neighborhood or ride my bike in the street. She knew what was out there. I realized this when I had my own kids. 💜 I turned into the same overprotective Mom. I have three sons and that picture was disturbing!! 😢They really put that picture in the paper for their parents and the world to see??😢😢.
I like Chicago as much as the next guy, but, dude, there was never a period of time where Chicago was "safe". It basically went from frontier town, to fur trading hub, to outlaws robbing banks, to serial killers prowling the 1893 worlds fair. After that there the depression, and all the crime associated with that. Organized crime, moonshiners, scofflaw's, racial unrest during the civil rights movement right up to modern gang violence. Not to mention the decades of police corruption and general police brutality. I don't think Chicago has had a peaceful decade in it's entire history. It's still a great town, just not necessarily one I would consider safe.
Fantastic job on this video! I just discovered your channel & I’m very impressed with your documentary! I’ve subscribed and can’t wait to see what you have coming in the future. Keep up the good work!
I've been a true crime buff for over 40 years. I didn't know about this case. I was surprised that young teens hitch hiked in the 50s. Shocked by the nature of these murders!😢
Wow! New subscriber here because of this video! What a professional job & I'm amazed at the level of detail you include. You just may be my new favorite true crime channel.💯 Thank you. Now I'm gonna binge watch your other videos!
I want to know about the "Paraplegic Sought As Slayer Of Wife Found Dead In Car" in the paper at 22:07. Good grief, they had alot going on. Great video and information!
Thanks for your huge efforts to put this together (as others have already remarked). This is BETTER work than even TV network shows seem up to. It's really great content; great, also, because it involves major cases which aren't often discussed. I also like that you took the trouble to show these neighborhoods as they look today. Thanks again!
It’s very difficult to believe that the extremely graphic photos of three dead and naked adolescent boys would adorn the front page, or any page, of a major newspaper. Imagine the families of those poor boys not only dealing with such a tragic loss but also dealing with these horrific images of their children sensationalized for public consumption! Can’t be real. And if it is, standards of journalism have thankfully improved!
Hey Deputy Ralph Probst was on an episode of Unsolved mysteries, he was definitely set up, shot in his own home in front of a kitchen window. This was a great mini documentary, thanks Ruin Road.
Grew up on the north shore (North of Chicago in the suburbs), mainly in Glenview but at times including winnetka, too. But i considered Glenview my true home town. I lived near the Brach home and always there was a feeling of weirdness around there. Glenview back then wasnt like today, while old money yes, there wasnt as many people living there at the time. It was a sleepy little town but one with many strange and at times frightening things going on. The 70s were a weird time, period. Harms Woods had a stable and way way back that was burned down to the ground including all horses within as I recall. (Most definitely insurance scam related and possibly connected to that Silas character) And odd things were connected to arlington racetrack as well. I was almost abducted along with another little girlfriend in the early 70s by a stranger in a beige station wagon.. theres too many stories to tell of those times from long ago. Im sure theres a ton of stories that hasnt been told regarding the area. All buried under time. Good reporting here. Thank you.
@@amerocker no I never considered that but for many years on and off I have looked online for missing children from the early 70s timeliness as this man had a lot of other kids with him and none looked alike. I can't describe what me and my little girlfriend witnessed that day but she had the smarts being 2 years older to grab my hand and make us run home. I will never forget seeing that station wagon slowly turning the corner coming up our street behind us. Theres no question he was coming for us. For what was going on and how fast he must have gotten all those kids in the car when he realized we were gone. I have considered going to the police , beaten myself up for so long that I didn't and come to realize the statue of limitations on the crimes we saw are over. I have considered tracking down that little girl who was my neighbor and best friend so long ago to ask what should we do. There's nothing we can do. But once in a while I still look online, not that I would likely remember any of those other kids faces. I hope they are all alive. This guy was a monster. As that station wagon drove right past her mom's house we stood in the big front window and watched. We had made it inside that house just in time and We were trying to tell our moms. My mom was at their house and we lived right across the street. They didn't believe us. You watch too much tv mine said. For some reason I have had many frightening experience kind of follow me my whole life regarding strangers. I'm lucky I'm still here. Edited to say. This happened in Glenview Illinois. Maybe 1973.. I'm a little sketchy on the exact year.
@@amerocker well hey. If you are a writer let me know. I have a few other ones. In fact another scary encounter at that very same park only a few years later. I have questioned myself like were other towns just as weird as Glenview? Or was it just the 70s.. Seriously I atract weird shit.
I truly admire the professional depth you bring to covering these cases. The way you meticulously gather, edit, and incorporate authentic images and relevant media adds a real detective's touch. It makes the story come alive. Keep up the fantastic work! 🕵♂👏
Wow 😳 My friend used to board her horse at Jaynesway & she’d tell me all kinds of wild stories about that family. Very scary people! I was shocked yet not surprised when I heard the connection to this case! Definitely wasn’t expecting that! Great video!
The Jayne family had connections to both Algonquin and rural western Kane County. Someone might still be alive who knows something . Algonquin has secrets.
I lived in Chicago till I was 12. Morgan Park, 1963 thru 1971. It was very safe. It was a great house and neighborhood, very safe. As an adult I can't believe all this violence in Chicago.
Unfortunately, due to recent revelations about the FBI, I don’t doubt they covered up for people in this case too. It’s sickening to think that a LE Agency I once admired greatly would slowly be revealed to be the worst of us…
Nice try. You are really desperate to discredit the FBI as they are tracking down traitors to our nation. Those “revelations”? You care to share the highlights?
I was abducted & sexually abused in the early eighties … i thought he was going to kill me! I remember begging him to spare my life … He was a total stranger… this sickness and demonic attack on innocence has troubled me all my life! I am 55 now and fight to rescue children and expose evil! The trauma I went through was evident all my life! Children still suffer so many atrocities to this day! Lord help us rescue the children ! ❤
MANY PRAYERSNLUV
Omg so Sorry 🙏
was the scumbag ever caught
I'm so sorry that happened to you... you're helping other and doing the right thing! I hope you're doing well now 💓
thank you for taking such a horrific experience and using it to help others. So sorry that you experienced this evil. Peace and blessings to you.
Well done! Informative and thorough. I’m a Baby Boomer who grew up in Chicago and we were always reminded when we went out to be careful so we wouldn’t end up like the Grimes girls. Very sad stories.
Wow. How did you make it through the Richard Speck murders? I don’t think I could ever walked down the streets by myself again if I lived in Chicago after that tragedy.
@@MeeMee-gz5vp Overall we kids weren’t scared growing up in my era: murders like the Grimes girls and the others didn’t make the news as frequently as they happen nowadays. The fact that this excellent video presents these terrible crimes all at once makes it seem like we were always scared to go out. Not so. But because the Grimes girls tragic deaths were so well publicized, our parents were more keenly aware of them: hence the warnings.
My mom and dad gave my siblings and myself a wonderful childhood. Growing up I always felt loved and safe EXCEPT for the three days between the time we learned about Speck’s brutal murders of the student nurses and when the young intern who was treating what he thought was another vagrant until he saw the tattoo “ Born to raise hell” and knew from the news reports that it was Richard Speck and called the police, is the only time I remember being scared to go outside even to our backyard. We had never heard of a group murder this vicious before. The relief we all felt when Speck was arrested was genuine.👍🏾
Thank you for using real footage and photos for this story. These children should have grown up, married, had children, and grandchildren. God bless them, and their families, may they rest in peace.
I didn't grow up and get married or have children. All of my ex girlfriends thought abortions were cool, thanks pop culture
But being married and have children does mean being the ultimate goal. You could just say just grown up

Finally a channel covering Chicago 1950's child murders.
I'm from Illinois and I have never heard of these murders before.
... WE ARE MISSING: PALESTINA 1950
Of course, they don't want you to know about this. It's funny how they blame us broths for Chicago being messed up but it always has been. Especially The St. Valentine's Day Massacre, that was brutal and that was in the "Roarin' Twenties"😮
the amount of civilians at the crime scenes back then is so bizarre by standards today
Unsecured crimes scenes strike me as nuts!
I was just coming to comment that!!!! All these random reporters and ppl are literally right above the bodies!! How crazy!!
I'm from a small town in the south and murders like this happen in small towns. The police, for the most part, are born and raised in the surrounding area and a lot of them are not properly trained on how to handle murder investigations. Small towns aren't like big cities where there's a homicide every day. Small towns rarely ever experience homicides.
Sadly, I have an uncle who was murdered in the small town I'm from, he was only 32 years old when he died. His case has never been solved, but our family pretty much knows what happened to him.
He married a woman who was 8 years older and she had two teenage sons. When they married she was working for an insurance company in town and right after they were married she took out an insurance policy on him and it wasn't long after that he was supposedly killed while "cleaning one of his guns". We think that it was one of her teenage sons who killed him so that she could collect the insurance money. My uncle had owned and been around guns his whole life.
His death was ruled as 'undetermined' and she was never able to collect the insurance money. My uncle was the kindest soul, hard working and would help anyone who asked. He would have given you the shirt off his back if you asked him for it.
.
Bazaar in what way
Any wonder why they didn't catch this killer more quickly or at all? All of that sorrow because some newspaper men needed to meet the newspaper editors "deadlines".
When I was about 10 and 11 in 1969/70 I was nearly kidnapped within seconds of being rescued by my mother, the first time it was a white van with a couple in their 30/40s , the second time it was a man in his 50s parked two houses down on a busy late afternoon when there was bingo going on in the church and the whole street was filled with parked cars, for some reason both times my mother had the instinct to check on me, I definitely know if it hadn't been for my mother I wouldn't be here today 🥴
God bless you. A Guardian Angel touched your mother.
I had a similar experience involving Danny Heinrich in Minnesota when I was 13. I had 3 nasty encounters with him, once with 2 other friends on our bikes. My mom and I were there for 2 weeks on vacation and flew home, saving my life likely.
Thank God for Your Mom being the true Definition of a Mother, being aware of her child & Your whereabouts.🙏👍💯🥰🙌
Makes me wonder why the string of kidnappings? I believe there was also a surge of kidnappings during the 1980s. Children have never, truly been safe, it seems.

I cannot imagine the trauma of having to identify your child’s body after they were murdered, but to have to do it at the scene with journalists snapping your photo? I just feel so awful for those parents. All those reporters were just there to get the scoop with no regard for what the parents were going through. I suppose it’s slightly better today now that cops don’t allow them to trample crime scenes, they at least have to maintain some distance.
What about the boy scouts (children) that found that poor girl that was decapitated?
The police have come along way thank God but those police back then had a tough job & they were learning how to solve crime as fast as they could but it just wasn't fast enough. It's amazing that any parent was able to survive after their child was butchered by some sick monster !
Tiffany Sessions disappeared from Gainesville Florida while jogging in 1990 or 91. Her mother has gone to identify remains over 700 times in the 3 decades since then. She's never been found.
Imagine having to do that 700 times.
@wendyh2708 Oh, I know. I often wonder how people who find victims deal with that afterward. It's not like you can just forget about it.
That wouldn’t happen today.
Only 12 minutes in but I have to say this is an excellent video, LOADED with footage and pics. Excellent!
It's not a movie. It's real life.
I definitely believe there's more than one child ender. Because if you look at the statistics and the psychology of child SAers it's extremely EXTREMELY rare, to the point where it's almost unheard of, for a pr.ed.a.tor to prey on children of both genders. Predators usually choose one gender and age and stick to it. I definitely believe because of the difference in ages between the youngest and the oldest and the different genders, that there was definitely more than one predator at work.

Wtf are these replies? 🤧
People think the 50s 60s 70s 80s were a golden period for children and they were safe. They weren’t. Children were not believed predators got away with it. It seems worse for children in the present day because we know this evil is all around us and mostly the children are taken seriously and the predator gets punished but not to harshly in the uk anyway.
The world has always had sickos, male and female.
We have always had evil in the world. Today, technology has given us the ability to reach far and wide with news, information, and communication regarding these horrible happenings.
However, I feel evil has infiltrated more and more undeveloped souls in this world. People don't parent as they should, the OWO agenda, these are a few things that have broken us down.
God bless the souls that met with this evil.
True. Parents thought that they were doing good by warning kids about "stranger danger.". Over 90% of s*xual assaults and molestation occurred with people that the kids know. The illusion of innocence and safety made it a perverts paradise unfortunately.
That's right.
I think it's because news is more national and international now. If you look at newspapers from that era, coverage was more locally focused with only national or regional stories if they were big deals.
Excellent!
I particularly like the “then and now” footage/pictures.
I grew up in Chicago in the 60s i was 5 when i was almost taken..i was pushing a shopping cart through a gangway and had the man blocked from getting ahold of me..i ran screaming! But days later the body of a girl was found in a garbage can behind the building i lived in..the man lived in the building behind where i lived! We moved after that!
Did the police find the murderer of the girl who was found? Even if the mans attack on you isn't itself proof of his involvement, just putting him in the radar could lead to more "clews" and conviction. It's not too late to go to the police or call crime stoppers to relate your story especially if you know the address the man was living in. If you don't remember the addresses you can use Google maps to figure them out. I imagine every monster rightfully put away deters some would be criminals and more certainly frees up resources or uncovers evidence of other crimes that could be solved...
You sound like Cam'ron,< F calling the police > I'm just move lol
@@kimispretty1 It's not a bad plan. Even IF the police listen and due a proper investigation- not likely, Dean Korl (or however it's spelled) got away with his crimes for years because the police were so eager to claim the victim must have run away every time that they were basically extra accomplices, and they stopped looking for bodies after finding the number his accomplices knew about even though his accomplices knew he'd taken victims on his own and there's evidence he started killing earlier than we know for sure- the investigation would take time. TIme in which you'd have to be afraid for your child every second of every day. So much easier and quicker to just move. (As for the evidence that there are more victims yet to me found- a bone was found in a house he's used to live in, for example, and then there's the constant nighttime burials of "defective candy" at his mother's candy factory that no one ever looked into. But they refused to keep looking because they already looked bad enough as it was.)
Imagine being an adult in the 1950's and 1960's. You survived The Great Depression AND WWII, only to then lose your child in the most gruesome and horrific way. Life can be so cruel sometimes.
Well you would have had to been a baby born at the end in 1939 and have been 20 yrs old when you had that child that went missing. One in a million on that one.

That's why I said "survived" The Great Depression. Meaning they lived through it, not born at the tail end of it as you are trying to suggest. Don't twist my words okay.
I can not fathom that
😂
@SK-qu4wo I agree with you.
Siblings were killed among them and that is even more sadder for the parent. It is bad enough to lose one child but to lose two then it made the Dad of those brothers go crazy. Maybe since that Silas Jaynes knew about his stable employee killing those boys then he demanded that employee to go seek girls for him. The way the sisters were dumped naked and the boys the same way make me feel they were connected.
The dad didnt go "crazy". He was understandably experiencing enormous grief. That instead of helping him cope with losing both boys and in such a horrible way, they friggin electrocuted him to death!
The man who killed the boys in the 50s moved to the south suburbs. Makes you wonder if he killed anyone else in the later years , there are unsolved murders in the south suburbs as well.
Dude!!!. The dad had a perfectly normal reaction to his sons being murdered. So those idiots killed him too and said he 'died from a broken heart'.... while they just happened to be torturing the shit out of him.....

Beautiful work yet again. This series you do is absolutely stellar-- keep it up! We'll wait for as long as it takes. Something about these 1950's ones are so unsettling against the backdrop of the sort of easy-going attitude of the '50's.
The level of torture those children went through is horrifying! I know that the boy scouts and lay people wanted to help, but I can't help but imagine how many crime scenes were contaminated. It is so weird to see the graphic photos of naked dead children on the front page of the newspaper.

Yeah this is my first hearing of this case as well
@stephanyalakroush9507 Oh yes they did. There was hysteria after every child abduction.
I’ve heard of the Grimes sister. My dad told me the story maybe in the 1980’s. He remembers the murders of the girls on Old German Church Road. But I thought one of the late night crime shows said it was solved a few years ago. Or maybe it was determined that they had a good idea who did it. I thought it was three boys who did it. At the time the one boy who is now an old man said they did it. Two of them were dead by this time and the remaining man not doing well.
Their voices still cry out for justice.
I thought I'd seen it all when it came to "vintage crime-scene photos," but at 3:38 my jaw hit the floor. "What the....are you INSANE?" was my very first thought. I had to rewind and look again to see whether it were just some store mannequins in a pile. Unbelievable even by the tabloid-journalism standards of the mid-20th century. With all the good-old-days nostalgia for past times in America, people just keep forgetting how rough this country really was.
I was kind of shocked by this as well, but this photograph of the three dead boys was NOT printed in a newspaper! The person who put this video together edited the police crime-scene picture with the newspaper story, making it look like they were published together. I'm surprised that this police photo somehow got released to be available to be reused this way.

So so sad, these innocent babies.
I was in grade school during the time of the Oakland County child killings. My father one morning on his way to work was stopped at Vermont street and 12 Mile road when he saw a light blue Gremlin with a white hockey stripe drive by in the fog without lights on going west on 12 Mile road. He told us he had a very strange feeling that something was telling him someone was in danger. But he was late for work and decided to call the police from there. The police said they would investigate but nothing ever came of it. Later on a boy was discovered murdered on the west side of Metro Detroit and my father always recounted that morning regretting that he didn’t follow that car and investigate it himself.
Chilling and gruesome. Excellent documentary.
Geezuz. I was not ready for the actual photos of the naked bodies at 3:50. And I'm a grown man.
Same and I used to process and print crime scene photos for the police. It’s entirely unnecessary to include those images. And my heart breaks for the families who had to see those photos on the front page of the newspaper.
We have to accept the brutality. As adults, we can't handle seeing real life, but those kids lived it.

I remember in the late 1970's the serial killer John Wayne Gacy was arrested for killing 28-30 male victim's.
The young men were found under his house and another 2 or 3 under the patio because John had ran out of room.
The video that was shown on the news was mind boggling with the police bringing victim after victim out of the house.
I agree with one comment that the so called tranquility of the 50-70's really didn't exist sadly.
I didn't know anything about this case and it's a interesting one because all of the victim's couldn't be tied to one person, when in fact it fairly well could have been.

Oh, I didn't know that and thank you for the info.
Once last person I wanted to mention was Serial killer Dorothy Puente in Sacramento, CA around 1988.
Dorothy killed up to 8 mentally ill boarder's at the Board and Care she was operating.
I was living Sacramento at the time and even had a chance to see her house after her arrest and trust me it looked liked a really cute house nothing evil.
My friend called me to make sure I was okay because I often would live in places like that.
I told her I was fine and I never lived there and both of us sighed in relief.
One look at Dorothy you would think she was someone's grandmother and not a evil monster.
The motive in the murders was money as she would steal their disability checks when they came to the house. The victim's often had no family and the case blew wide open after a Social Worker kept inquiring about one of her clients.
A search warrant was issued because the Social Worker noticed irregularities in the garden and front yard.
I think I could have been a good detective back in the day and probably would focus on capturing Serial killers.
My brother and I were stalked on the highway and nearly abducted by a serial killer driving a yellow Volkswagen , I can’t remember where in Florida but it was hot, I was 9 and my little brother was 7 we ran and had to climb over a dead cow that was in a dry creek bed it stunk real bad. The serial killer stopped his car and yelled out to me and my brother, he said your mommy is sick in hospital come with me! we ran and had to hide in a corn field! Bill Joe ran out of the corn field, as he wanted to go with man to see our mom but I threw a rock at my brother’s head to stop him going to the serial killer. I didn’t mean to kill my little brother! It was an accident I swear! I hid in the corn field until the serial killer left. I put my brother’s body under the dead cow. I told my parents he ran away and they believed me!😮 (I didn’t have the heart to tell my parents what really happened, I didn’t want to upset them).
They made a movie about that John Wayne Gacy. He was such a creep.
@@Kingofrestrrooms666your the one get him
I am a Chicago native and live pretty close to Jefferson Park. I was unaware of this piece of the cities history so thank you for covering this. History As tragic as this story is it deserves to be remembered and treated with respect.
Great job researching these crimes. So glad I found your channel
No wonder they didn't solve many crimes back then look at all those people contaminated the crime scene..
Fathers "Death due to a broken heart"? Sounds more like they fried his brain.
If he was sedated (not always a certainty in pre 70s ECT) they probably used metohexitone, which can cause heart arrhythmia on its own like all barbiturates, combined with botched ECT and the dad's physical condition, would cause the cardiac arrest or myocardial infarction. There's a lot of factors but ECT is always risky even by modern methods. A tonic clinic seizure can also induce arrhythmia in its own right. And don't forget respiratory problems caused by over sedation, poor airway control (it's nearly always done with a second doctor just focused on sedation and airway, with the primary doctor (ie the psychiatrist) administering the ECT. In the bad old days they basically plugged you into the mains with no emergency equipment like in an OR.) It was a drastic treatment even then, just as antidepressants were coming to mainstream use. Its really only used on catatonia, ante-post natal depression (anti depressants take a few weeks to kick in and also avoids drugging the baby by proxy) or some other emergent situation. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is a fairly good depiction but it used to be used for lots of other illnesses and behaviours that were considered deviant with a unstated punitive subtext.
Very well done. I live in Chicago and didn't hear of some of these. I also appreciate the on location shots too, they put the locations in perspective. Most won't go to these neighborhoods because they have been bad for 60 years at least in terms of crime, murder, robbery, and others offenses.
Not really. Where the boys were killed, is still a decent neighborhood.
Jefferson Park, montrose harbor and burr-ridge are not bad areas! Are you from actual Chicago or a suburb? I grew up in Gladstone Park as did my dad (which was a polish neighborhood forever, now more Hispanic) which is right next to Jefferson park. The north and north-west side of the city are fine. Burr ridge isn't even chicago, it's a suburb and not a 'neighborhood' saying these areas haven't been safe for 60 years at least is absurd! We may have differing opinions which I can respect, but saying the north side hasn't been safe for 60+ years is 100% not true! Englewood you're very correct though lol
Wow. Just discovered you. The amount of detail you go into is breathtaking. I particularly enjoyed how you showed us what the places look like now.
Your research must take for ever. Great stuff. Going to check out your channel
Thank you very much! It definitely is time consuming but I love it.
I think im more disturbed that they electroshock therapied the dad to death in the "sanitoruim" . You expect deranged killers to do horrible things.....you dont expect the professionals supposedly helping to do horrible things. To die like that after having to endure his 3 kids murdered like that all once, ugh. Poor people.
Shussler accused the "gang" of ritual child murder (as the evidence demonstrated) and was murdered for it...
His two sons and their friend.
What about Joe Kennedy sending his daughter for the LOBOTOMY! That should curl your hair thinking it was ok because she was more than likely bipolar or schizophrenic…..ughhhhh…Joe Kennedy was an evil father!!
At least he was released from his misey to join his sons in a joyful heaven!
Can’t believe they published crime scene photos of dead bodies in the newspaper.
The National Enquirer was infamous for such back in the day because "lurid" sold millions of their rag.
They weren't woke crybabies
Bet u would feel different if it was yr child. @@michelearcher7914
They needed public help, no DNA in those days. Delia Morris
Your research and presentation is excellent. Thank you.😊
The 2 girls that were killed after seeing a movie was very sad( as all the others)
Elvis, himself , probably was very sad about his fans .
Very good of him to speak out for their return.
So sad as I never realized some may be connected
Very good presentation. I heard about the Peterson and Grimes case numerous times, but not the others. Cool vintage media footage.
Native Chicago girl, grew up in the Garfield Park on the West Side in the 70's and 80's. Boy am I glad my elders were like " momma bears". Super protective.
Stellar reporting, no whole lot of unnecessary fillers, or constantly repeating same info.
I absolutely love your videos, please do not stop
When they showed his photo I cried so much. His sweet little face. Heartbreaking. 💔
Okay this is very well made, and also finally a crime I've never heard of being a total fanatic lol. Subbed. Keep it up! 😁
Love your channel ❤❤❤
Have to save to watch later, still at work 🙄
After hearing you telling the story , I had to subscribe ! Job well done ! Looking forward to seeing more of your content , thank you beautiful
Excellent video : the sound, the videos, the pictures it's amazing really great job
Of these cases I have only heard of the Grimes sisters which has been covered often. And the Brach case, and the Indiana Dunes case which have also been covered a lot. It puts things into a different perspective to know about all these other cases that happened around the same time and are also unsolved.
Grew up hearing about all these cases. Changed many lives at the time.
Very well done these individuals should never be forgotten. The suffering they went through had to have been horrifying.
First time viewer here and I gotta say you do very good work!! Very well put together!
Read ?it was all there. You just didn’t read
@@laurie113 yeah i didn't read it?
You did an excellent job telling these stories you have a new subscriber.continue the good work!!
My Mom was very wise. I thought she was overprotective. No she just loved me enough to keep me home and in her sight!! I was born In 64. I was not allowed to roam the neighborhood or ride my bike in the street. She knew what was out there. I realized this when I had my own kids. 💜
I turned into the same overprotective Mom.
I have three sons and that picture was disturbing!! 😢They really put that picture in the paper for their parents and the world to see??😢😢.
The pictures and music for this video were great.
I like Chicago as much as the next guy, but, dude, there was never a period of time where Chicago was "safe". It basically went from frontier town, to fur trading hub, to outlaws robbing banks, to serial killers prowling the 1893 worlds fair. After that there the depression, and all the crime associated with that. Organized crime, moonshiners, scofflaw's, racial unrest during the civil rights movement right up to modern gang violence. Not to mention the decades of police corruption and general police brutality. I don't think Chicago has had a peaceful decade in it's entire history. It's still a great town, just not necessarily one I would consider safe.
This is facts I’m from the southside englewood and most of the kids that grew up there got a form of PTSD
@righteousmasculine I wouldn't doubt it. Chicago is a lot of things, most of them are good, but safe isn't one of them.
I was there for a trade show back in '99. Great night life, good times.
Fantastic job on this video! I just discovered your channel & I’m very impressed with your documentary! I’ve subscribed and can’t wait to see what you have coming in the future. Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much! We have plenty more true crime in the works along with our urbex and mall videos.
I've been a true crime buff for over 40 years. I didn't know about this case. I was surprised that young teens hitch hiked in the 50s. Shocked by the nature of these murders!😢
My mom hitched hiked in the 1970s. So unsafe she thanks God she's wasn't murdered.
@@Myopinionmattersthemosta lot of people did zoomer
Another well put together episode. Thanks for your work.
It’s scary to know how much evil & bad things happen in this world 😢😮
Wow! New subscriber here because of this video! What a professional job & I'm amazed at the level of detail you include. You just may be my new favorite true crime channel.💯 Thank you. Now I'm gonna binge watch your other videos!
I know, right?? UA-cam suggestions did me a solid today, throwing this dude in the mix!!
I want to know about the "Paraplegic Sought As Slayer Of Wife Found Dead In Car" in the paper at 22:07. Good grief, they had alot going on. Great video and information!
Thanks for your huge efforts to put this together (as others have already remarked). This is BETTER work than even TV network shows seem up to. It's really great content; great, also, because it involves major cases which aren't often discussed. I also like that you took the trouble to show these neighborhoods as they look today. Thanks again!
It’s very difficult to believe that the extremely graphic photos of three dead and naked adolescent boys would adorn the front page, or any page, of a major newspaper. Imagine the families of those poor boys not only dealing with such a tragic loss but also dealing with these horrific images of their children sensationalized for public consumption! Can’t be real. And if it is, standards of journalism have thankfully improved!
Hey Deputy Ralph Probst was on an episode of Unsolved mysteries, he was definitely set up, shot in his own home in front of a kitchen window.
This was a great mini documentary, thanks Ruin Road.
Fantastic work ,very well put together.Thank you!
This is now my favorite channel. Excellent work
Grew up on the north shore (North of Chicago in the suburbs), mainly in Glenview but at times including winnetka, too. But i considered Glenview my true home town. I lived near the Brach home and always there was a feeling of weirdness around there. Glenview back then wasnt like today, while old money yes, there wasnt as many people living there at the time. It was a sleepy little town but one with many strange and at times frightening things going on. The 70s were a weird time, period.
Harms Woods had a stable and way way back that was burned down to the ground including all horses within as I recall. (Most definitely insurance scam related and possibly connected to that Silas character) And odd things were connected to arlington racetrack as well.
I was almost abducted along with another little girlfriend in the early 70s by a stranger in a beige station wagon.. theres too many stories to tell of those times from long ago. Im sure theres a ton of stories that hasnt been told regarding the area. All buried under time.
Good reporting here. Thank you.
Did you ever think of writing about your near abduction? If you do not want to write about it, you could tell it to a professional writer.
@@amerocker no I never considered that but for many years on and off I have looked online for missing children from the early 70s timeliness as this man had a lot of other kids with him and none looked alike. I can't describe what me and my little girlfriend witnessed that day but she had the smarts being 2 years older to grab my hand and make us run home. I will never forget seeing that station wagon slowly turning the corner coming up our street behind us. Theres no question he was coming for us. For what was going on and how fast he must have gotten all those kids in the car when he realized we were gone.
I have considered going to the police , beaten myself up for so long that I didn't and come to realize the statue of limitations on the crimes we saw are over.
I have considered tracking down that little girl who was my neighbor and best friend so long ago to ask what should we do.
There's nothing we can do.
But once in a while I still look online, not that I would likely remember any of those other kids faces. I hope they are all alive.
This guy was a monster.
As that station wagon drove right past her mom's house we stood in the big front window and watched. We had made it inside that house just in time and We were trying to tell our moms. My mom was at their house and we lived right across the street.
They didn't believe us.
You watch too much tv mine said.
For some reason I have had many frightening experience kind of follow me my whole life regarding strangers.
I'm lucky I'm still here.
Edited to say. This happened in Glenview Illinois. Maybe 1973.. I'm a little sketchy on the exact year.
@@PersianDiamond A true crime writer could take your stories and a bunch of other near abduction stories and make them into a good book.
@@amerocker well hey. If you are a writer let me know. I have a few other ones. In fact another scary encounter at that very same park only a few years later.
I have questioned myself like were other towns just as weird as Glenview?
Or was it just the 70s..
Seriously I atract weird shit.
@@amerocker like I'd be happy to share the stories with you if you write.. I actually used to ( nothing ever published)
I truly admire the professional depth you bring to covering these cases. The way you meticulously gather, edit, and incorporate authentic images and relevant media adds a real detective's touch. It makes the story come alive. Keep up the fantastic work! 🕵♂👏
Wow 😳 My friend used to board her horse at Jaynesway & she’d tell me all kinds of wild stories about that family. Very scary people! I was shocked yet not surprised when I heard the connection to this case! Definitely wasn’t expecting that! Great video!
The Jayne family had connections to both Algonquin and rural western Kane County. Someone might still be alive who knows something . Algonquin has secrets.
Great job awesome footage keep up the hard work
Heartbreaking how the father of the two boys died. His suffering !
Excellent video, one of the best on YT
I'll never understand why someone would do these things to kids. How can you even be crazy enough to do it? Smh.
What an excellent presentation. I have never heard these cases tied together, but it makes sense
I lived in Chicago till I was 12. Morgan Park, 1963 thru 1971. It was very safe. It was a great house and neighborhood, very safe. As an adult I can't believe all this violence in Chicago.
This is so well put together. It’s ashame it has to be done.
Unfortunately, due to recent revelations about the FBI, I don’t doubt they covered up for people in this case too. It’s sickening to think that a LE Agency I once admired greatly would slowly be revealed to be the worst of us…
Nice try. You are really desperate to discredit the FBI as they are tracking down traitors to our nation. Those “revelations”?
You care to share the highlights?
What did you hear about FBI and these cases???
Maybe the J6 pipe bomb hoax and its cover-up? Definite fed complicity there.
Or perhaps you're thinking of Epstein...
Yep especially since we know that biden and other losers have used the F.B.I for illegal and personal uses.
I have never heard of this case before. What a horror! Those poor victims! Those poor families!
