Yes it was a time that reporters were actually investigating and reporting what their findings were. Today we have dressed up nodding parrots reading from a script written by their employers. Money rules.
Investigative reporters and journalists are still being taken out today. With our short attention spans, news of suicide or accidental death barely get noticed. My heart goes out to Molly and all of those who dare to expose truth for justice.
I think Molly should be awarded some significant journalism honors and awards! She was fearless and operated with total integrity! Everyone in the profession should aspire to perform their duties, at the standard that she set!
Doesn't make sense that Molly would disappear on her own--she is too responsible and dedicated both to the Spectator and her career in investigative journalism. What a shame that the mob took her. A dark stain on American culture and history.
As the guy who is working on the book on the Molly mystery, I should share some info. First the podcast on the Molly story is being produced by Greg Peerbolte, executive director of the Joliet Area Historical Museum. He is planning 8 chapters, which are done. He is now setting up a venue for sharing the podcast to the public. I have created a Facebook page to share some Molly details and will give more details on the podcast when I can. To learn more about the mystery and to read the 1978 series I did with friend and fellow reporter John Whiteside go to the Facebook page: facebook.com/MollyZelkoMystery/ Like the page and follow it. The larger the audience the better my chances of getting Joliet law enforcement to care. You can also post questions on the page and I will try to answer them. After reading the comments posted here, I would also note a few things. The witness did not go to the police because many were a direct pipeline to the local Mob figure Francis Curry. “Sarah” was terrified, which was clearly visible 21 years later when we found her. She has never been identified but my book will detail how we found her and who she was. She also was not the only source who pointed to Stryker Avenue in Joliet as a likely spot to search for Molly’s body. Molly still has family living in Joliet. They have been helpful and supportive in my efforts. There is no one left to prosecute in this case, but the family and the Joliet area community still need closure. As do I. Anyone who has information to share can reach me at lonnyjcain@gmail.com.
I really enjoy your content and how you don’t use the “scary” voice like other channels and you seem like you really care about these stories and I also like that you don’t showcase yourself or do this AND makeup or “tea spilling” or drama or whatever as well. Thank you.
I lived in Joliet for two years, many years ago. I had a neighbor at the time-an old truck driver-who would talk about this case. He seemed to be convinced she had gotten involved with the mafia, and then something happened and she was likely murdered for some reason over money. All speculation on my old neighbor’s part of course.
I have never heard of this case. I would like to ask for you to do a video on another rarely talked about case. This is the 8 unsolved Hitchhiker murders in Santa Rosa California from the early 70's. It needs more exposure. The people with the answers are getting old.
Impressed again. Never heard of this case. I’m in my 40’s and started watching crime etc and reading it in my late teens. Never heard of this case. Ever. Thank you.
Another very interesting case I never heard of. I do know that back then, mobsters would dispose of anyone who refused their machines. Many reporters have ended up dead or disappeared. I think the next reporter after this one was Dorothy Kilgallen, but her murder was totally different. With her, they used the old "overdose" game.
Very interesting story, well told. Thank you. I was a kid growing up in the area back then and remember radio stories of all the corruption going on everywhere. Molly's story gives real meaning to those memories.
I'm glad I found this page. Since then, I've watched several of your videos. I must say, you do a great job with them. The research you put into the stories is fantastic. I had not heard of this story before. Very fascinating life this woman led. Keep up the good work. :)
Wow this lady had alot of courage. It sounds like she did this investigative work alone. I am so sorry it caused her to disappear. I do believe that "Sara" told the truth.
Astonished I’d not heard of this fearless woman till now. She deserved a lot more recognition. Poor woman no doubt pissed off very dangerous people who wanted rid of her.
My goodness what a fascinating young, story & crime! I'm going look further into this horrible incident. Thank you for another very well produced episode. Your work is greatly needed & appreciated.
I received an email about your newest video and to my surprise it's about my great Aunt Molly Zelko! Well done video and I know we will never know what happened to her but the story I was always told was she was murdered by the mob to keep her quiet about the gambling the mob was involved in.
Dang, I grew up in Ottawa Illinois which is SO close to Joliet. Also, THANK YOU for pronouncing Joliet with a long O lol. I cringe when people pronounce it as Jolly-et..😖
@@MrWombatty Only in the last 2 years have I found out that the Mob’s Chicago Heights faction, of which Curry was a part of, were moving big into heroin distribution around the 50s, and especially under Giancana. There might have been a sense of fear that she would have eventually uncovered more than just gambling.
Hi HCF! Congrats on gaining the sponsor and I will certainly download Amino. Thank you for featuring a Chicagoland story as I'm a city lifer but visit the casinos on occasion in Joliet. Brilliant and lovely rendering of this frightening story. Be well please. Cheers
I love your videos! Part of the reason is your voice. Your voice is soothing and a total counter to the often grim and gruesome events you are relating. I look forward to your every video.
Hope you all are having a great weekend!!! BLESSINGS✨😌. Great story and greatly narrated you do such a good job! She was a very beautiful woman how sad 😥 💔 prayers for each of these victim's...
There is no telling what happened to her. I don’t believe the police at the time took much of it seriously. I wish her family had been able to put her body to rest.
Just love your thoughtful, engaging, and accurate presentation. Most of all, your heart for every victim and for their families, really shines through. Really admire that. Thank you for presenting such fascinating tales, and for the empathy you always show.
I work in Joliet and am a life-long Chicago area resident. I had never heard of this disappearance/murder before. I'm fascinated by true crime so this is right up my alley. I drive down Stryker Ave on a regular basis which has now taken on an extra element. I hope we will be able to find her someday. With ground penetrating radar, checking out the area along Stryker Ave should be feasible in a non-invasive way which wouldn't have been possible back in 1978. Has anyone tried it?
This is the first I’ve heard of this case, and it’s a good one. Thank you. 🙏 I think it’s a YT SCOOP; you’re the only one who’s posted this case to date. Well done!
Back in either the 1930s ish my grandmother lived in Joliet with her uncle and her father. They were contractors in Joliet mysteriously my great-grandfather by the last name of Caulkins disappeared allegedly under suspicious circumstances. Several years back I spoke with mr. Whitehead from the paper who pulled up newspaper articles and ran a story on this case but never went anywhere.
Thank you for the like on the story. As I mentioned at one point in time I had enlisted the services of a reporter by the last name of Whiteside and he did quite a bit of digging as well as ran a article on this particular crime in a Sunday edition and this was probably 15 years ago give or take. However nothing came out of the article, no one step forward with any information to help us go any further. If you have a chance do a little research on this story it's very interesting the phone lines were cut to the house, some personal effects of the missing man I believe was a pair of cufflinks with a bloody handkerchief showed up a week later on the front door step. Ironically The Nanny disappear as well 😂. But I truly is a very interesting story to say the least, the house still stands where the incident took place. the house is not in a very good part of the city at this point, the family believes that he was probably under some foundation of a building they were working on at the time. It definitely is a mystery, wrapped inside of a riddle, wrapped inside an enigma. I'd love to truly find out what happened, unfortunately too many years have passed. Thank you again for your interest in the story I think it was pretty cool when my grandmother relayed the information about this, and unfortunately she has since died sobasically all I have to work with is what I was told and what the reporter Whiteside had managed to dig up which was actually quite a bit. Have a great day thanks
Just wanted to say, I really enjoy your content & the manner you present it in. Thank you for sharing your time, talent, energy & creativity with the rest of us. It is greatly appreciated 💚 & as always, I look forward to your future posts.
That certainly was a close business association! It also seems that she had turned a blind eye to the real possibility of harm from some very dangerous people, that wouldn't hesitate to use any means to silence her. His family or her reporting? I don't prescribe to her just picking up and leaving or the disappearance being a random crime. Sad that most likely we will never know! Thank you hcf, another compelling mystery!
i actually have thought about it, and i've had a very kind viewer send me a lot of useful information that i could use if i decided to. she was a fascinating woman. i don't really think she fits in amongst true crime content though--i know some people are suspicious of how she died, but i'm not convinced that there is anything to those concerns. i may make a separate series in the future with just biographies or interesting stories from history that aren't related to crime or mysteries, and she would definitely be one of the first people i would want to cover if i did!
heavy casefiles. Oh ok. I am one of those who think there was probably foul play. She was fascinating. I hope you will do a story about her! Thank you for responding to my comment,I love your channel ❣️
@@heavycasefiles I was a teenager when Dorothy Kilgallen died. My mother thought the world of her. It took no time at all for suspicions to arise about her death. I have followed the case and believe more than ever that she was murdered because she knew "too much."
@Libby Berman In the 1950's, take home pay could have been maybe $50 to $75 a week for ordinary office or warehouse job. Median family income in 1956 was $4000 a year, and I did look it up a while back for reasons related to my own family history. $55 a month in the private rental market probably was a typical rent in a middle income neighborhood.
Molly was not the only journalist who was victimized for exposing and fighting corruption. There have been countless. But another interesting case is that of Walter Liggitt who was killed in 1935.
So now I understand why my Nana (born in 1900) So Vehemently Disapproved of my 9-years-older cousin bringing home a pinball machine in the late 60's! SCANDAL! TIES TO ORGANIZED CRIME! Never really understood before, as an 8 year-old at the time! LOL! We 'little' cousins at the kid's table just thought it was a Great Fun thing!
Rural Kane county ditches became a dumping ground for the mobs thorns in their sides. Also the Fox river west of Chicago around Elgin. There is alot of cement shoes in the quarries also. The body guard of Al Capone had a luxury house not to far from our family farm. There is a secret room in the basement. Hate to think what went on in there.
Great job on the logical details as usual! I clicked to watch this video when I read that it was a missing journalist because I was pretty sure I could identify the disgruntled parties that would be involved. Too bad she didn't take up shotgunning like her brother.
It would be incredibly hard to do videos of stories unfolding from month to month day to day. You'd almost have to change the channel just s true crime channel to mystery channel.
Another great video! More current cases would be great, but I really, really love the older cases you do. Have you thought about making a video about Dorothy Kilgallen? It's a little bit more in the conspiracy theory zone, but the death is very suspicious. There's a book available out there called "The Reporter Who Knew Too Much" by Mark shaw. I definitely recommend it.
What kind of conversation includes if your being attacked you will take off your shoes and run? Who was she talking to when she said that? And most importantly why would she say such a thing? Whomever she was telling this to knows more than they are saying. I mean why would she even be talking about such a subject? How does that conversation go...I'm having meat and potatoes for dinner oh by the way if I'm ever being attacked I'm going to take my shoes off and run. How do you work that into general conversation? Just doesn't make sense.
It's actually hard to find quality content, along the lines of heavy C. Horror stories is an excellent channel, as is criminally listed but, I've seen 'em all! We need new murder and more horror, craftily-presented, and more often.
I wonder if her family had ever heard about Sarah's account. I would think they would have paid to have that area excavated. In fact, I'm surprise someone hasn't done it by now or at least got someone to do ground premating radar.
Thankyou HC. Gee.. She's probably right there in that ditch. But of course lots of time and money spent BEFORE they had that tip so....really sad that lady waited so long.💔🤔 well done vid as always tho.🤘
I spent a lot of time in Joliet because my friend lived in the apartments on the corner of Oneida St and Jefferson. You have to have your head on a swivel 24-7 there. I had someone try and sneak up on me as I was walking to my friends door. I was lucky enough hat she had the door unlocked because she knew I was coming because when I got in, turned around, and went closed the door there was a man running away. I had her cousin walk me in and out after that. I've also witnessed a gun being pulled out on a guy in her alley way because he was so messed up he kept telling his "friend" it was 6 am and he was going to be late for work (it was 6 pm btw). His "friend" pushed him up into the fence then pulled the gun out and said "If youre that f*ed up I should just rob your ass right now!". The man started crying and came up to us sitting in her cousin's Cadillac and asked up what time it was! Here we are; four white kids, in a car consoling this big black guy because he thought he was going to miss work.
During entrance via Ellis Island. Many sir names were misspelled due to communication barriers. Hence. Different spelling and pronounciation. Of course many too changed their spelling to sound more American. The US on the end of Columbus and Stratevarious was also added for similar reasons.

molly was my great aunt! i absolutely love seeing everyone respecting her, and trying to find what happened! we love you guys!
Back then reporters were similar to police detectives in many ways. And they were much more vulnerable.
And now there are very few investigative journalists. It's all sound bites shared amongst all media. It's sad.
Yes it was a time that reporters were actually investigating and reporting what their findings were. Today we have dressed up nodding parrots reading from a script written by their employers. Money rules.
Not soros paid!

Astonished I’d not heard of this fearless woman till now. She deserved a lot more recognition. Poor woman no doubt pissed off very dangerous people who wanted rid of her.

Thanx Sugar and HAPPY for the upload 💫💙👏 ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT as always!!!

such crap! dig it up!!! there is no price on that. i believe “sara”
I agree it's certainly worth looking into

I love the way you phrase sentences.

Whomever killed her is likely long dead. Sad that her family did not get closure in their lifetime.

Whomever she was telling this to knows more than they are saying. I mean why would she even be talking about such a subject? How does that conversation go...I'm having meat and potatoes for dinner oh by the way if I'm ever being attacked I'm going to take my shoes off and run. How do you work that into general conversation? Just doesn't make sense.
SOMEONE GOT AWAY WITH HER MURDER I WONDER IF ANYONE WILL EVER FIND THE POOR WOMAN'S BODY
Good presentation 😊
It's actually hard to find quality content, along the lines of heavy C. Horror stories is an excellent channel, as is criminally listed but, I've seen 'em all!
We need new murder and more horror, craftily-presented, and more often.
Great story telling.
I wonder if her family had ever heard about Sarah's account. I would think they would have paid to have that area excavated. In fact, I'm surprise someone hasn't done it by now or at least got someone to do ground premating radar.
Thankyou HC. Gee.. She's probably right there in that ditch. But of course lots of time and money spent BEFORE they had that tip so....really sad that lady waited so long.💔🤔 well done vid as always tho.🤘
Very interesting video thank you
She seemed like a very progressive woman for the time.
I live in Chicago and never heard of this case
It was the pinball machines!
I spent a lot of time in Joliet because my friend lived in the apartments on the corner of Oneida St and Jefferson. You have to have your head on a swivel 24-7 there. I had someone try and sneak up on me as I was walking to my friends door. I was lucky enough hat she had the door unlocked because she knew I was coming because when I got in, turned around, and went closed the door there was a man running away. I had her cousin walk me in and out after that. I've also witnessed a gun being pulled out on a guy in her alley way because he was so messed up he kept telling his "friend" it was 6 am and he was going to be late for work (it was 6 pm btw). His "friend" pushed him up into the fence then pulled the gun out and said "If youre that f*ed up I should just rob your ass right now!". The man started crying and came up to us sitting in her cousin's Cadillac and asked up what time it was! Here we are; four white kids, in a car consoling this big black guy because he thought he was going to miss work.
During entrance via Ellis Island. Many sir names were misspelled due to communication barriers.
Hence. Different spelling and pronounciation. Of course many too changed their spelling to sound more American. The US on the end of Columbus and Stratevarious was also added for similar reasons.
