Don't know how these stories could have been presented any better. Very moving, Jeff.
Thank you. I appreciate the good feedback!
Jeff is an amazing story teller! ❤
Wow, Connor would have been 21 next month. Rest in peace Levi, Laci & Connor.
Oh Laci you were so beautiful.....when i look at you i see my own daughter. Your mother is one strong woman. Laci and Conner RIP
Thank you for bringing this back to the public’s attention. These ladies should never be forgotten.
Hi Jeff, This story of Laci and her unborn baby Conner hits home my Dad and I built a brick hearth for Dennis Rocha, Laci's father in the 80's with Laci and her brother playing around us Dennis was never the same after this event. Whom would be? Oh my dad built the brick columns that line the front of Burwood Cemetery. RIP Laci, Connor, Dad.
I honestly believe that killers of loved one should never be mentioned on gravestones. Thanks for highlighting these two murders Jeff. RIP Laci and Chandra.
Totally agree. (Shan'ann, Shan'non) parents didnt name Chris's name either.
I had never thought about that until I saw this video. I agree. Laci would have possibly left Scott if she found out about Amber. She most likely would have taken back her maiden name and named Connor that way, too. Scott Peterson deserves no acknowledgement!
I will never forget her father bent over in anguish begging for her back. Just absolutely gut wrenching watching that press conference. The despair in Laci's parents faces. Love her parents. Can not imagine what Mrs. Rocha is going through. Will never forget Laci's big beautiful smile.
I remember Laci's mom screaming out addressing Scott. She stated divorce was always an option but not murder.
I remember these stories very well, headlines for months.
Thank you for bringing these 2 young women's memories back. Time and new tragedies have a way of making us forget. ❤
Such sensitive presentation of the deaths of two women and an unborn child from Stanislaus Co. Excellent job Jeff. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much for the nice comment. Much appreciated.
To be honest, I am surprised Scott Peterson hasn't been killed in prison. Thanks for keeping these two extremely sad stories alive. Another moving history lesson, Jeff. Thank you.
He is probably well protected.
They put him with the "sensitive" population if you can believe that! We had the chance to get rid of him, but like Jeff said nobody dies on death row in CA. It's ridiculas!! That creature is pure evil.
I live in Modesto and was pregnant with my oldest at the same time that the Laci was missing. I identified with the protectiveness she must have felt to protect Connor and it broke my heart. I personally believe Scott to be guilty as I never heard him speak about the loss of his child. He was so disconnected from both of them. She deserved so much better.
She certainly did deserve better! Poor girl.
The way you spoke about the two girls was not only respectful but also showed they mattered. Thank You for your views and thoughtful words. A Grandma from Kansas !!
Hi Carol in Kansas! Thanks for the nice words! Bless you!
As tough as these stories are they need to be told. Thank you for your respect and words.
Thank you Jeff for presenting the remembrance of these precious souls in such a sensitive manner.
So sad and tragic, I can't believe it's been over 20 years ago, thanks for sharing
Its hard to believe its been over 20 years already. Thanks HH for what you do.
Tell me about it! Thank you so much for the nice comment.
@jbenziggy I lost my Dad in August, and every time he watched one of your videos, he would say, "I like him he's a good guy," I would agree.
@@stevevalley2784 you don’t know what that means to me. Brings tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for telling me that. Sorry for your loss. Your dad sounds like he was a great guy too.
Thank you, Jeff have a great week & say hello to Sarah for me.@jbenziggy
Very moving video today , so sad . May those 3 people rest in peace . Thank you .
Central California watching
Two agonizing cases. Was riveted to each when they occurred. Thank you for telling their stories. I remember watching Scott Peterson on a channel 2 interview and when it ended the camera froze on his face before it went to the next story. I will never forget the evil in his expression in that freeze frame. It was almost like he said ok the interview is over, (very sympathetic sob story), so now my true personna is back. It gave me the chills as somehow it came through that he was a very evil person and I positively KNEW he was guilty. I told my wife this at that time (I'm signed in on her UA-cam account). When the story about the innocence project showed the other day she reminded me of that moment. Very chilling! Thanks for yet another great posting Jeff. Thoroughly enjoy your content.
Another great video, Jeff. There is a lot of valley history I never put together growing up in Fresno. You tell these stories with wonder and they amaze me.
I appreciate the positive words for our efforts! Thank you for watching!
Dear Jeff, I can tell how heart wrenching this was for you to tell, you did such a wonderful job! Thank you for sharing their stories in such a wonderful manner!♥️♥️♥️😔
Thank you for watching, as hard as this is to understand.
Thank you so much for giving us the information in this show. Even here in Texas, we were seeing and reading information about these cases. Fantastic work Jeff!
Wow. I just came across this video. You were so thorough in the presentation of both cases, yet also kind and compassionate. You got my sub.
Wow, thank you! We appreciate the nice feedback! Welcome!
It was just in the news about Scott Petterson. It was a sad story. I remember waiting for the verdict that day. Why didn't he just leave her if he didn't care. /
Great research as always Jeff, 2 very sick cases that shocked the country! Your honoring these 3 victims was very well done.
We remember hearing the coverage of both of these ladies. Thanks for showing their grave sites and bringing it back to light. Both gone too young.
Too young indeed! Thanks for watching and helping to remember those poor women.
Wow, I would have thought the house might have been bulldozed. Couldn't imagine living in a house where something this awful happened. Such a sad story. I'm pretty sure he is guilty.
There would definitely be a creep factor in living in a house where someone was murdered, assuming she was murdered there. He probably suffocated her while she was asleep. I cannot imagine the evilness required to take someone out like that. It's heartbreaking Scott didn't love his wife, who should have been treasured!
@@jbenziggy I moved into a condo in 2010 where the original owner was murdered in 1992. He was a fireman who was also dealing in drugs, he was killed by one of his partners. His girlfriend was the one who found him dead in the hallway. A neighbor,who heard the screams of the girlfriend and saw the body of the fireman, told me the story. I never had any bad vibes from the place, but I am pretty sure it was haunted. I did see a figure of a man with a white mist about him. I really wanted to buy the condo when the owner put it up for sale, but we could not agree on a price.
These are very heartbreaking stories. Their lives were cut short in horrible ways. We can only honor them by remembering their beauty and contributions.
Great channel! Keep up the tremendous work! You speak so much truth and common sense about these tragedies.
Thank you for presenting this so beautifully. I’m disturbed by the recent stuff I see of Scott. I try to be unbiased in matters like this but I watched all of it. Modesto is a special place to me.
I didn’t know Chandra was also from the area. I knew the Congressman was.
I for one would really appreciate more stories from you. I have subscribed to your channel! Thank you.
Thanks for subscribing! More videos are coming!
Thank you sir for this great report!
Love the video this week. I remember hearing about both, but didn't follow either that close. You did a great job of storytelling them.
Thanks so much!
Very respectful, thanks for sharing
Thank you Jeff hope you’re doing well.
Thanks, you too!
This happened when I was like 12 and had just moved into the Modesto area from the Bay Area. I remember seeing her missing person sign posted everywhere we went. When I grew up, I knew kids who had said she was their substitute teacher.
Thanks for covering! …especially now since the innocence project took Scott Peterson’s case.
Thank you for showing these graves and giving them exsposer
You bet! Thanks, Barbara!
Absolutely riveting. Thank you Jeff for yet another amazing flashback piece. R.
Thanks for listening!
Thank you for your respectful coverage of these 3 tragedies
😭💔
Excellent job. Thank you
Thank you too!
just want to say i love your videos! i just found your channel a few weeks ago and me and my husband have been enjoying watching them. a love anything that has to do with history So i enjoy everything you post. This story of lacy is very sad i remember following this case when it came out. So tragic! you did a great job on telling her story can’t believe it’s been this long already. ❤
Nice to hear that you just found us what we do! It’s an honor to produce these for an audience who appreciates them!
Thanks for sharing. In lust rarely does one ever stops to think of the consequences of how it affects all those around them or themselves. Thou shall not want...thanks again😊
Thank you jeff! You gave these victims beautiful voice. You brought tears to my eyes with the beautiful tribute. Thank you
Nicely done. Respect.
Very well presented, I followed the Laci Peterson story very closely, I was also pregnant at the time and due a month after Laci.
Thanks again for sharing, Jeff and Sarah
Thank you for sharing our history. You do a great job.
Beautiful cemetery and your stories are awesome, I’m in my 70s and remember all of the grief in this stories. I truly enjoy watching from Indiana, but born in San Francisco
Thank you so much, Claudia. So since you’re from California, how do you like it in Indiana?
I remember both cases. Very sad. These really had a huge impact on many people. As always, your story telling is spot on. I can see the impact they have on you. Thanks for telling these sad stories...
Thank you so much for making this video!!! Very respectful and May them all Rest In Peace ❤
You’re welcome. Thank you, Kelly!
My hometown!!!! Born and raised in Modesto ❤
Me too!!
I thank you for your version of laci
Wow. I had no idea they were in the same place. Thank you for sharing!
Very sad stories. I recently heard that the Innocence Project was helping Scott Peterson try to get a new trial. I find that to be incredibly disturbing news.
I doubt if it will change the conviction, don’t you?
Hard to understand, a beautiful wife and a child on the way. Nice house. Goes to show you, you can have it all and still want more. I remember the news reports well. Such a shame. Hope they get what they got coming.
Great video, even tho so sad. I think of Lacy's family a lot. I don't know them but this story was horrible. I remember being glued to the TV when this happened. Especially Christmas Eve. Thanks Jeff. Gotta be one of my favorites. 😊
I seen thousands of videos on UA-cam however, I don’t remember anyone doing videos about the three beautiful souls now gone forever. Conner was never given a chance. Laci had an absolutely beautiful smile. TY sir for reminding every one of this sad but need to be remembered story. Cheers y’all.
Another fantastic job Jeff. Thank you for bringing it up and close. You keep it interesting as well with your research. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Such sad times for the family makes me cry I pray they keep Scott where he belongs .
I remember Levy`s picture but never really paid attention to the full story then. RIP to them both
RIP Laci, Connor and Chandra.
Excellent coverage. Good job!
Thank you very much!
I agree with you Jeff. How can he snuff out his beautiful wife and baby boy's lives like its nothing. I remember feeling just sick for her family to have their hopes and dreams for Laci and son destroyed! So sad!
Very sad...may their memories be eternal ✝️
As usual, great video! Both of these stories were so tragic! Being from California I remember them well. You did a great job telling their stories! You do a great job on each of your videos with all the research you do! I really enjoy watching your videos on places that I am familiar with or have been to and learning new things about them from your videos! Things I had no idea about or would have taken the time to find out myself. Thanks for what you do!!
13:29 "Nobody I have run into believes any part of your story." I don't know who that was saying that, but I doubt many would dispute it.
👍 ty for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Great video. Very informative and a great way to honor Laci. Scott in one evil person.
He definitely should be a model for any young man who decides to even consider doing this in their lives. This is what you get when you decide to take his path.
Great reminder at the end of the correlating implications of a bad choice. Author Louis Lamour once wrote, "If you get a man to back up, it is hard for him to stop and go forward again."
Great episode Jeff. It's definitely a sad one. If not in this life, he will get his for sure. He just better hope they give out ice water down there.
This brings back memories... I met Scott Peterson when he brought a flyer in Micotel in Ceres and asked me to hang a flyer looking for Lacy ..I thought he was innocent based on his actions when he gave it to me...and I was on the news at a rally for Gary Condit when they were looking for Chandra Levy as I felt he was innocent also...
I think both men put on a good act. I was not aware that he came to Ceres to pass out flyers.
Lacie Rest in peace. You were a good person. You and your son deserved much better. You'll always be in our hearts ❤️.
I been fishing san francisco bay for 60 years, there's no fish in the bay in December, scott ,I'm going fishing in December!
Rest in heaven Chandra Ann Levy 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🌹🌹🌹🌹😇😇😇😇 rest in heaven Lacy & Conner .
I remember both of these
Cases thanks for keeping
Their memories they will
Never be forgotten
Thank you so much Jeff
This is my first time watching your video.❤❤❤❤so sad👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I live in San Francisco and I did not believe Scott's story about going fishing in that part of the bay the water is shallow and muddy people do not go out there to fish the only thing Scott caught was a double murder case. May Lacey and Connor rest in peace🙏😥
Such sad stories, both of them.
Goes to prove that Infidelity/Adultery can & will destroy more than just marriages.
As far as the Chandra Levy case, now I have more questions than answers given your rundown of the events occurring afterwards....🤔
Thank you for posting this.
Good story keep them coming this was why I served 26 years as an unpaid reserve police officer in a large beach front community in California. I did this along with several other reserves officers and we did it with out pay or pilice union support. The see something say something doesn't always work mine is see something do something. Bring the saying to be crime doesn't pay. Of course the people in office can screw that up.and have. Thank you.😊😊😊😊😊
Thanks for being a force for good! We must have law and order or evil flourishes!
I took my granddaughters to the cemetery to see Conner and Laci and my little 5 year old left her favorite toy there for Conner. This was such a tragedy.
Thanks for doing this one on both of them, young women.
The headline is misspelled and should say "Laci & Levy" not, "Levi". Other than that thank you for your stories about the area we live in.
Thanks. I made the correction!
Great video . Thank you Have a great week
You, too! Thanks, Steve!
I remember both of these tragedies. Very sad.
Excellent video on two very sad events. Just knowing that new some commuted petersons death penalty sentence makes me sick. Our installed governor does not care about any consequences he causes to people or our once great state. Thanks Jeff.
Excellent video. A dignified presentation of two innocent lives cut short.
Thank you so much for your hard work. From Sammy
So nice of you! Thanks very much, Sammy!
Great job I am still upset about these two beautiful Ladies taken to soon Thank You Jeff for what you do.
You and me both! Thanks, Kathy!
this story was so sad the Laci one
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Rest in peace Levi and laci and conner you are missed❤
My grandparents Charles and Thelma Beller are buried in the same cemetery as Chandra..
I was living in Ceres when both these cases happened . Im pretty sure Gary Condit was living in Ceres at the time it was definitely a bad look for him and his political career. Then Laci Peterson happened , it was so sad for Stanislaus county and the world. Great video
Harve Presnell ... unforgettable voice. I loved him in The Unsinkable Molly Brown. Great video as always.
Thank you, Kent! Thanks for the cross in your profile icon!
God, I remember both of these cases all too well-I lived in Northern California (Auburn) and news regarding the disappearance of both women were plastered all over our Sacramento NBC affiliate, KCRA. I would have lengthy conversations about the Petersen trial with my husband, who was a criminal prosecutor in the neighboring county from where we lived. Scott Petersen should have been put to death, but because of loopholes in the criminal system and discrepancies in the case, that never happened. It is one of those trials that I fear justice may never be served....
16:05 (18:16) (18:46 'Reach for a STAR' *tabloid*) 20:16 / 20:21 20:48 'So far', Jeff...🙏🏻
I remember that saga with C Levy. That congressman was definitely in the wrong place and wrong time (but, shouldn't have been messing with her anyway - typical Washington). And then 9/11 hit and everyone forgot about congressman what's-his-name.
Scott should have gotten the death penalty instead of keeping him alive in prison. The evidence was overwhelming. He planned the whole thing with no remorse. A liar.
Well done
this story was a hot topic even here in canada such a tragic story this guy is nothing but a scum bag and you did a great job telling us about it Jeff thanks for sharing that story and hopefully they will find out who killed Chandra Levy and thank you for keeping there Stories alive Jeff and Sarah
It's so upsetting to see they have the guilty person and then he's set free. And only 6 years for a life.!! Also he didn't even belong in this country. Did they at least deport him ?
They did deport him. Apparently he was convicted of a jailhouse liar's word so it could be true that the man didn't kill Chandra.
