THIS CHANNEL:
_________________________________________________________
The Angel face you see is the Haserot, named “The Angel of Death Victorious". The stoic angel is seated on the marble gravestone of canning entrepreneur Francis Haserot and his family. Holding an extinguished torch upside-down, it represents a symbol of life extinguished. Wings are outstretched and the gaze is straight ahead.
IN THE END, DEATH ALWAYS WINS. LEST THE FACES NOT BE FORGOTTEN...
This channel is focused on casually walking and viewing a handful of the thousands of forgotten names and faces at various cemeteries near and afar. Seeing their faces up close. And when able, telling the stories behind their names.
Most graves are unknown and lost to history.
Some are famous.
And some infamous....
....and some with tragic endings.

Wanted to give you an update on Kelli's murderer: the monster died in prison on August 10, 2023. Kelli Joy can finally rest in peace. Thank you for sharing her story once again!
Oh my gosh, thank you for that update. I’ll have to look it up and do a post. Thanks again
Wow really that's good news ever thank u
Best news possible. Thank you ❤️
Best news 🗞️ thanks 👍🏼,hope this dear girl is resting in peace 🕊️🙏🏼
RIP Kelli O'Laughlin. I remember when this happened. I believe i was in middle school when this happened. I had gone to the same middle school and high school as her. She is always going to be remembered.
Amen. She sounds like she was a delightful young lady! ❤
The way her photo sits among those beautiful flowering plants is really pretty. Her grave is beautiful the way it is at the moment even without a tombstone or plaque.
I agree with you...her grave is beautiful the way it is.
That it is. Simple and sweet, just like she most likely was! 🎉🎉🎉
I don't know how you can keep your cool telling stories like this. You had me crying at the end. She was so young and still made an impact on so many lives. She was out to do great things. Praying for her family who will suffer this horrible loss for the rest of their lives. They don't deserve this either.
She set such a great example for others to follow. She did a lot of good in her extremely short life. God bless her family and friends. Rest in peace little angel.
This is so not right. Rest In Peace Kelly. You are with Jesus now. Thank you for sharing and God Bless you.
What a sad story. I will never, ever understand why monsters like him breathe the air and beautiful souls like Kelli are taken to soon. RIP Kelli. 😢
Unbelievable. He is a monster. 160 years isn’t enough. He is probably comfortable. I can’t imagine what the family goes through daily still to this day
I hate saying this but he need to handled. If you know what I mean.
He gets three meals a day, TV, recreation, free medical, etc. all paid for by us taxpayers. This is the system that is supposedly so unjust for black males.
He needs to drop the soap
If you are, and vote against the death penalty you are wrong. Not debating, just walk away, and listen to this monster laugh in your dreams.
This AH needs to have the same done to him every day. To feel what she felt. There is a special place in hell for him. I hope it is really damn hot in his section
Words do no justice how I feel about this sad story. The rain and gloom of the day you did the video says it all.
True nature definitely was in on this video! Kelli was helping💜✌
I wonder what the humanoid is having for dinner tonight !
I appreciate how you fix flowers and such on graves, etc. whereas so many just walk by... I can almost imagine their spirit standing behind you, patting you on the shoulder in appreciation.
When someone asks me, do you really believe in spirits if you can't see them? I say, I believe in God and I've never seen Him! Just keep an open mind, because the alternative is lonely!
you are one special person Kristen...and thank you. I'm glad you found me, my channel... :-)
Kristin I am with you😆
Love ❤️ love ❤️ love ❤️ your line…”l believe in God and I’ve never seen him.” I learned a beautiful new phrase. Thank you. 🙏🏽
@@ms.c3 💕🤗 hugs
I love that too. Says so much about one's inherent character ❤❤ That's why I LOVE this channel
This story has me balling my eyes out. I love the attention you give to each person and really tell their story! You are doing amazing things on this channel. I am so happy to have found you here. ❤🙏❤
2:56 "I thought the music was coming from the crypt" SO DID I!
You know he thought it was the Ice Cream truck. Business is business.
I nearly lost it when the music came on oh god I was watching this in the dark at 5:20am!!! 😳😞😳
God bless that little girl 😢 there is much evil in this world. Thank you
Very sad. It’s always so much more difficult to hear these stories when children are involved. RIP Kelli 🙏🏼
Such a lovely little precious human that girl was. Evil people that are among us makes me sick.
I love the respect you give. I would like to know why this 'human' is allowed to live.
Such a precious child. She has so many experiences in her short time. Some children are special angels with assignments on arrival. May she always rest in peace.
This is really sad. I don't know this young girl. But I'm A mother. I could not imagine losing My child. This is just horrific. I only have one child (A SON). AND EVEN THOUGH HE'S GROWN , I CAN'T SEE MYSELF LIVING WITHOUT MY SON. THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS WITH US. HAVE A BLESSED AWESOME AMAZING WONDERFUL BEAUTIFUL DAY ‼️🙋🏿♀️💕☮️🛐✝️💜👍.
Same...my boy is 18
I can see you doing really well with your channel...fairly new I see, should start to grow because I can tell that you do your research.
He is fun to watch isn't he? I'm glad I found him too!💜
@@mookyo9602 Oh yes me too!
Ditto.
So very sad...RIP dear Kelly.
As a mother, my greatest worry is that something might happen to my children because of someone else's stupidity or carelessness. Words cannot express the heartbreak her family must be going through because of someone so cruel. If you are able to find out how the family plans to honor this young lady, I would like to contribute to the memorial.
sorry, unable to make contact with them, I understand from the cemetery people that the mother has an idea of the stone, on her time...not a money issue, so thats good.
Even though I’m across the pond in England 🇬🇧
I would have also loved to contribute!
Poor little sweetheart......💖💕
May the Lord enfold her with LOVE 💕
and pray 🙏🏻🙏🏻 that she is helping take care
of the animals in Heaven....so terribly sad 😢😢😢😢♥️
Hahaha that was scary, music just start playing when you looked in..their are some evil people in this world. Texting her mom on her daughters phone, what a demonized monster.
Yes, killing Kelli was bad enough obviously, but texting her Mom from her phone was truly evil incarnate. Glad he did it, tho, because that was a huge piece of catching that stupid POS!!
Kelli was just turning a teenager and her life was taken away from her over a senseless robbery. She sounded like a lovely child. RIP beautiful girl. 💕
Just unthinkable.... Thank You Ron 🙏🏼🌟Nothing compares to a walk in the cemetery in the rain🌧☔🌧 its the sound of Heaven's Tears for this innocent girl🙏🏼🌹😥
This is such a sad story but God has better plans for her where she'll never be hurt again my heart goes out to the family
I admire your talent in presenting your videos. You’re very respectful and it’s clear that is very important to you in doing them. I’m so glad I stumbled upon your channel. I was very saddened to hear you speak of the child you lost. As a parent, I cannot fathom that type of pain & pray that it is something I never experience. God bless you for bringing remembrance to these people in such a respectful yet informative way. It is so sad that there is no lack of material out there for this type of one. I so wish people could just learn to love each other in this world.
I remember that this terrified me when I heard. Kelli and I are exactly one year apart in age (I am older) and at this age I would usually be home alone. After hearing this, to this day I do not want to be home alone. RIP Kelli ❤️
I doubt the mother being home would have stopped this freak anyway
So sad😞 my prayers to her family👪
Kelli is looking after all the children, such a beautiful angel
My mother's brother's niece, was murdered by a serial killer, that was friends with our whole family. And they never knew it! She was also 14 when she was killed.
I just found your channel and I love the respect you give those who are not with us anymore. Thank you for sharing these stories. And people shouldn’t judge her parents for not having a tombstone yet you don’t know their grief so don’t judge. I’ve lost a child so I understand their pain. RIP a sweet girl.
The family can be so grieved that just getting out of bed becomes a monumental task. Then there are the logistics of going to work and paying the bills....the exhaustive task of going to grief counseling. The poor child may get her marker when she is joined by her parents. Grief can be so exhausting and will catch you unaware.....like waking up in the morning CRYING.
@@lindawinegar1311 I’ve had to bury my first born and I grieved so hard for 12 years before I could move on with a somewhat normal life. I understand grief it’s debilitating.
Perfect timing for the bell tower chiming. Hoping these innocent lost Angels receive their wings!
You are such a kind and caring person to take the time to tell us about these people. Their stories deserve to be told and you do a wonderful job doing that.
It is so tragic that these unspeakable monsters lay there hands on such beautiful souls,evil,pure evil
Dear Lord how frightening! God Rest your sweet young soul ♥️🙏🏽
I hope the other prisoners give him a taste of what he did. I wish I was wealthy so I could help this family to get the headstone the family would love. God protect and rest in peace darling Kelli.
What a beautiful young lady, with so much contributed in such a short time. You mentioned that we are each "but a flicker" in time. I'm certain that her "flicker" is tremendously bright. RIP young lady. 🙏
So tragic that so many bad people are out there...waiting....waiting.....to do such bad things to others.
What a wonderful and sacred ministry you have started! God bless you for all of your devotion and love for these poor souls!
160 years is not good enough, to be honest! He's taken an innocent young life, and he still breaths?? Where's the justice in that? I'm sorry but I just can not fathom the life sentence decision.
Sending prayers to her family🙏 May your beautiful soul rest in glorious peace little angel Kellie🌹🙏💖
One can only hope he went to Stateville or Menard the 2 worst prisons in the state
What a wonderful young girl. Already on the road to doing good for others and then runs into this despicable creep. Sending up good thoughts to Kelli and wow, can't imagine what her family is going through.
As I said in a previous comment , your research is rich in depth , and the way you exchange thoughts , information and the overall story to us is wonderful . I can hear seriousness , sadness , and even {at times} disgust in your tone of voice . Some people take us on somewhat of a statistical field trip , but , not you . You tell us the real story , full of facts , evidence , emotion , and when available , outcomes . You honestly love what you do , of that I have no doubt ,, it comes right through the screen . I find myself , not just watching your videos , I set aside & make time to watch .. I am a bit new to your channel , and still trying to catch up , plus having a great time doing it . I don't view alot of YT , yet , when I find a site that displays passion , and content with obvious amounts of work put into it , well , I am hooked .. I am sure I speak for all of us in saying , we appreciate what you do and share ..
Well said!!! I agree totally. 💜✌
Lovely video. Thank you for taking the time to share Kelli's story. While I never met Kelli, I have become a family friend over the years. Her murder was so traumatic for the community, for people who knew her, and those who did not. It is the definition of tragedy. She would be 24 this April and it certainly doesn't feel like ten years have passed. Her parents, siblings, family and friends have done amazing things in her honor and have helped so many other kids. If you're in the area during September or October (or if it is virtual this year, the date varies and with COVID it may be virtual again), please attend the Run for Kelli! It is their annual fundraiser for scholarships and other charitable acts! #ChooseJoy
ty, I will try to make it. she was amazing...an inspiration.
I'm from Chicago IL and I remember hearing about this and it broke my heart I'm so happy that he was found and giving forever for what he did to this beautiful little girl! SMH so sad!
I lived there when this happened. I had a premonition about it before it's happened and told my sister to make sure our doors are locked. We were more vigilant after that then this happened. My sis was so shocked. Things were just too lax out there.
I have a fourteen year old daughter, Kelli lived a life quickly seeing so much. Rest in peace young lady.
RIP BEAUTIFUL ANGEL... I’m sorry you had endure such .. your smile your beautiful self can light up any room ..🙏🏽🙏🏽... that I can see of you .. .🙏🏽❤️😢
Beautiful young lady. God help and comfort her mama and family.
So heartbreaking. Thank you for helping to keep her memory alive.
I remember that when it happened, can't imagine what the parents went through and still going through.....He is pure evil and will get what he deserves.... hopefully the family has found peace because they will see her again....No doubt.
Oh yes they will be together again! No doubt here! Bless this family💜✌
@@mookyo9602 Yes I also like memory lane trips with Steve, and sidestep adventures... check them out
@@TimandVic-yy3yc ~ I absolutely love Steve’s channel, I watch every one - inspirational to me.
@@TimandVic-yy3yc I definitely will thanks!! ✌
@@TimandVic-yy3yc sidestep adventures is a great one too. I like Steve’s channel too but they’re mostly famous people. I tend to gravitate toward the channels that honor the unknown or those that have entered into the forgotten. The saying that we die twice always haunts me in a way but it’s so true; we die when our life ends on earth and again when our name is lastly spoken.
Thank you for the placement of flowers at the mausoleum. You're respect for the dead is what makes me keep coming back. We remember them and they live forever. 🙏❣
R.I.P. beautiful angel. Such sad story 😢. It’s awful we have such evil people living among us. Thank God he’s put away from harming someone else
Hi Ron from the uk this absolutely heart breaking a beautiful young girl with her whole life ahead of her breaks my heart RIP kelli.
Simply can't fathom losing a child like this. Rest in peace sweetheart 💔
I'm new to this channel. Love the way you handle everything. Love the cemeteries with the beautiful music of birds and bells and trees. You are a sincere story teller. May we remember these beautiful beings. ❤
Such a sad story RIP Kelli❤️
I live in willowbrook and I remember this case and it shakes me up to this day! Rest beautiful princess 👑
I love it when you talk to them. Even in death a nice person who you don't know has a chat.💛👍
Ron I'm loving the sound of heavy rain on your brolly ☕️☔️
Hello! R.I.P Kelli, very sad and interesting story, I have a coffee cup on my right hand, enjoying your voice. Blessings for you and your family 🙏🙏🙏 from Graciela Jaimes, in Tampa, Florida.
I remember this like yesterday she was in my cousins class this it's almost ten years later and they still put messages for her on the fence over the highway where she lived things like this don't happen like that in the neighborhood where she lived so it was kind of shocking
Can I just say how informative your visits to the cemeteries are. You give the graves such respect and you tell the deceased stories with such dignity. Thank you. Greetings from Scotland.
Just hope that man has a hard hard time in prison Karma will get him sometime 💐
I binged watched a lot of your videos this past weekend, and now I subscribe to your channel...great reporting..I'm from Colorado and heard in your videos you lost a daughter here...I am so sorry. I lost my Marine Damon in 1999, it took me 5 weeks to recover his body out of Wolford Reservoir in Kremmling...What you do is HONOR those that would be lost to history...we got the Navy Marine medal for him 7 years after his death..There is alot of history here in Colorado and one is Rose Mary Echo "Silver Dollar" Tabor who is buried there in Chicago at Holy Sepulchral Cemetary...she is the youngest of Horace & Baby Doe Tabor who died of mysterious circumstances. I did a report on them in high school and went to the graves of Augusta Tabor (ex-wife of Horace) in Riverside cemetery (very old) ...her death was very tragic and so was Baby Doe's who froze to death at the Matchless Mine in Leadville...the old store still has Silver Dollars portrait in there..thank you!
Melinda, I'm very sorry for your loss, Damon.
Yes he does this very honorably! God bless Damon🙏so sorry your going through this it's heartbreaking..😕peace&love coming from R.I.💜💜💜✌
I remember this story, GOD BLESS sweet girl 🙏🏻💐
Heartbreaking...…..I lost it at 12:55. Excellent tribute to her.
What a sad story. Video was very interesting. Lovely cemetery. I’m thankful that this awful person was caught, I grieve for her family.
Come to Atlanta and do. Westview and Lincoln Cemetery also I'm stone Mountain ga we have one of the oldest cemetery for vets
Will do Atlanta at some point! Ty for your recommendations. 😄❤️
Love your channel 👏 Thank you for all you do💕💕💕
Glad he made it easy to catch S.O.B. Keep the stories going, best sub I ever joined! I mean that!
It took me 4 years to get a stone for my son. Why did this man do this. How did he know the family. Such good people lose their life to evil. So sorry for their family loss. Cindy
So heartbreaking💔😰
Great video. These stories are so sad. I feel like I am right there with you. I can smell the rain.
Wow she was born a month before my sister, they would have been same age by now so sad as my sister is now studying in University. This girl could have started something great in her life. R. I. P. Sweetie
Rest In Peace Kelli......
Wow, that completely unmarked mausoleum is fascinating. Must have been an introverted, reclusive family.
RIP Kelli O’Laughlin. Beautiful and sweet child. Sad that of a world we live in full of creeps and evil monsters. But you are doing better than all of us, you are in heaven with the lord Jesus. My heart goes out to her family and friends. 🙏🏽
RIP baby girl 💞💜🦄🌸🌺
Maybe the mausoleum at 1:40 was a sales model for the cemetery?
I think that you just might be right! Good chance.
Great call.
Oh interesting! Good call!💜
Next time I get over there I’ll definitely do that!
It’s quite a curiosity.
@@FacesoftheForgotten please come to uk after covid as Highgate cemetery has some fabulous history and very famous headstones I love this channel plz keep up the good work xx 🇬🇧
I am very happy that I found your channel. The stories are so sad.. So many people out there that laugh at society while they kill. So awful. Thank you. I will be following you now.
That empty mausoleum is like a tract office or model for sale and in future they're will make a row of them down the way.
Thank you for running this story, was just thinking about it and it popped up
Love ur brilliant description of life and lovley words !! 🥰
Glad to hear the update on this story. The wheels of justice are too slow or not enough.
Just subbed,God Bless you Kelli,soar wih the angels kid.
May the Lord bless her parents and give them Strength and Comfort in their loss and Suffering ! And thank you sir for sharing this Sad case !
How spooky when that music started playing. That would have freaked me out.
You did a great job honouring Kelly. This one was hard to watch. Took me a while to view
Thanks again
Demonic Monster, he didn't have to take an innocent child's life, evil coward!
Omg the bell just rang! I have many of your videos to catch up on!
What a monster. I haven’t watched it all but hope he’s still rotting in jail
When that music started playing it was like they knew you were there and thanking you
What a demonic being☹️ Thank you for sharing. Great job. P.S. that bell tower gotcha for a second LOL!
What an angelic young lady. A kind heart, loving daughter, little sister, and auntie. An athletic, animal lover, and best friend. A selfless caregiver of less fortunate kids. Her two C's we can disregard as irrelevant.
She sounds like a perfect young lady to me!
RIP: Kelli, you're not forgotten in our UA-cam family. 🎉🎉🎉
Sounds like the world lost a remarkable young lady. RIP Kelli.
I don't usually think people should die. But he should have gotten the needle. Pure evil!
I enjoy your channel. And appreciate your research. Some are different to listen to. Be safe out there. I'm in Georgia. So I don't know much about Chicago. Appreciate u giving a location. Edit. Difficult to listen to.
The Needle would be to Humane, Savagery for Savagery.
@@Howlinwolfreviews I agree!
The Needle is too easy, bring back 'Old Sparky' and let him ride the lightening.
Kelly McFadden @ It's better for him not to die. That would put an end to his suffering. He deserves to suffer in jail. Remember, he's a child murderer and in the criminal's honor code that's the worst. Leave him in jail and allow him to get victimized till he dies.
At the end it's like the bird was agreeing with you.
I have had lots of experiences so far like this...signs maybe.
Thankyou for being a light who brings these people to life again with your kindness.
So heart wrenching. My little girl is only a few months older than poor Kelli. I couldn't begin to imagine what that poor momma goes through 😔 What a disgusting and vile demon he is!
I started laughing 😂 when you said what the heck when the music started…
Kinda took you off guard, huh…
for sure!
Poor little girl. Sincerest condolences to her dear family. Comfort can be found in knowing that heaven was built for people like her.
